welcome to the W
show all right so if we rip the headphone users right at the beginning
of the show then uh it won't be a surprise when we do it again later
that's right kids adjust your volume now cuz this show is going to be loud and
proud and uh something bound C down F
how s s yeah and S
ploud no that's the after party oh all
right guys so we got a bunch of great topics for you today but we're not going
to call out any of those because Luke picks the topic call outs today most of
them are crap wait is that a swear word crap no
no dick ah dick is gray oh my God unless
you're still alive then it's more of a peach depending on your skin tone it
could be darker all right so steam steam back
remover is a fraud obviously geohot
built a self-driving car in his garage the Pentagon is interested in
weaponized AI wow really great
idea haven't talked to Elon drone owners
must register with the FAA the worst part is they probably have talked to Mr
musk and yet with all of his Charisma he was probably all like this
is a terrible idea cuz look at all the reigning destruction it can bring and they were
like okay we want that all right so
let's roll the intro and get on with the
show I was just G to keep going
no music um oh yeah that really doesn't
surprise me I mean are it's a miracle we have
these assets at all right now to be perfectly honest um some of you probably
saw my post on Instagram SL Twitter Facebook I guess it goes everywhere okay
my post on social media where I had talked about that we had a bit of a a
bit of a data loss situation this week
but we're going to have a vlog coming up about the journey that that has been so
I suspect that's not like the right file like I I suspect that's like yeah there
was one that didn't have music yeah so so anyway we'll we'll get we'll get more
into that oh hold on hold on hold on I'm going to fix it now though oh you don't
have the right file though well I wasn't going to to totally fix it I was going
to fix it like a little
um also I don't see uh I don't see I
don't see a I don't see a thing right now hold on a second hold on oh are we
still moving what yeah we're still moving okay that's good oh there it goes
okay okay we had a bit of a we had a bit of a hiccup there in in xplit there we
go I was trying to move this and then
what this and then there we go so that it would work when we do the outro oh
yeah we still won't have audio no I I what do you think I'm some kind of
magician and I can fix the audio too I could just you know what song it
is we can just hardcore do that or if
you know what song it is you could just like find it and then play it no at the
same time I don't even know I think it's adhesive wombat so it should be possible
to find on the internet all right so uh let's get into let's get into our first
topic of the day I someone said rip wanic server and I really thought they
said wank server and I was like we actually don't have one of those and if
we did you can bet that one would be backed up in many many places that
server would come into the room I'd be like back that junk
up oh I'm terrible okay so uh drone
owners must register get off twitch chat what what what get off twitch chat
oh so sorry to okay no we're not doing a
topic yet so confused no we have very a very important announcement to make um
it's just taking a little while to change scenes I don't know what Windows
updated and apparently the as far as I can tell the only thing they updated was
the safely remove Hardware icon so I wish it just I wish it just wouldn't I
wish that this machine would just not change from week to week that would be
super super amazing um so I apologize to
Twitch chat and Twitter but I am actually I'm actually on social media
blackout right now no because I am seeing Star Wars the Force whatever it's
called in about 18 hours in the morning
and I am determined to not know anything
about it I'm going to be doing my Afterparty stream thing tonight so I'm G
to end up looking at twitch chat and I have my theory as to Star Wars spoilers
so I think I'm just going to I'll monitor twitch chat and it'll be fine
are we going to talk about the theories for Star Wars spoilers yeah yeah so here
why don't we why don't we do that as our as our first topic so um so Luke was
asking me right before the show started like heyy um you know are you going to
look at twitch chat today Star Wars spoilers and I was like no no no and
actually I don't want to talk about this because I did get one spoiler but like I
kind of like immediately put on a show
really loud I literally think the bot just banned like 80 people so I oh yeah
guys do not post them anyway I think ghost might have gotten his hands on
oh no I I talked to him okay oh yeah that's that's a thing do not post Star
Wars spoilers in our there's probably over a hundred people banned good in the
last like two minutes do not post Star Wars spoilers not even spoil don't post
anything related to it don't post anything related to Star Wars not even
not even greo shot last shot first I
don't care the bot might get Global banned for like spam because the amount
of people it's Banning I'm not even kidding this is
insane what
wow oh my God okay well okay so what you
heard anyway about the spoilers that are going around yeah what what I heard and
what I kind of theorized was that um there's going to be a lot of people who
are going to be spreading uh spoilers
which aren't actually spoilers because they don't know if it happened or not so
these are people that haven't gone to go see the movie yet and are spamming online about things that they're saying
happened to ruin it for you so that you get all pissy because they're trolls
even though they don't actually know what happened cuz that's the thing about trolls is is trolls trolls like they
troll each other so what would be the first thing that I would do when I got
out of a theater as a I consider myself a fairly grade a troll is I would go and
tell any trolls that I know some misinformation so that they go and
spread that and then I'll be like ha and
uh that's a really old reference yes um got it so so yeah so so my my the so a I
actually to to a much greater degree than probably most people I I isolate
myself from information about movies that I'm really excited about seeing so
I let myself see the first Star Wars
trailer but there was another trailer there was the Japanese trailer that had
more footage and there's all the interviews with the cast all that stuff
I have not touched any of it I watch the first trailer once that's it I'm going
to go in completely blind like a new baby sliding out of the womb and or
being pushed out rather sliding
out sliding across the floor
um and uh so that's the way it's going to be so I I really I really work hard
to to keep myself away from that stuff so I did hear one thing but I've already
forgotten the name of one of the characters involved because like I haven't been paying attention to all the
names of the characters I don't know who all the new characters are I don't know who any of the actors and actresses are
all I know is Carrie fiser is going to be there Mark Hamill is going to be
there and you were there and you were
there and you were there and that's another really old reference um and that
that's all I care about although if if if my man Harrison Ford shows up the
same way that he showed up for Kingdom of the Crystal Skull I really don't know
and it's it's been like another four or five years since then too like he was
really looking old and Crystal Skull so
hopefully he's like hopefully he's like an adviser on the council or some crap
and all he has to do is yeah all he has to do is sit in a chair and like or like
sit in a bar and fire a blaster from under a table first oh wow I was going
to say some theories but I'm not going to because I think that okay go go ahead
I don't think he's just advising because the Millennium Falcon fly one of the
shift a little bit here hold on hold on hold on you know what oh really yeah
tried to say it fairly faintly you didn't have any other theories well I do
but okay well you that one I think we're going to have Luke Star Wars Theory
minute no no it's fine I'm going to put my do that because that's not fair no no
really no no no it's fine it's fine it's fine it's fine just hold on just hold on
I'm just as long as I have some music playing I won't be able to I don't want to do it because then people are going
to grab audio bites and start spreading them around as
spoilers right but I mean because none of this is true anyway all you'd be
doing is actually helping okay so I should make up a whole bunch of fake
stuff so by trolling you actually help the people who don't want the movie
spoiled the more we troll the trolls the
better off the good people will be okay
so so hold on but I still I still want no part of
any of it so I'm making these next level [ __ ] I'm turn I'm cranking this
cranking this [ __ ] BBA has a very weird movement patternn you know how the head
kind of like floats on top probably magnetically and then there's the ball
that's rolling around on all that kind of stuff that weird movement pattern is
actually referential back to Jar Jar Binks the weird movement pattern that
Jar Jar Binks had that is going to destroy isn't that just coming through
your phone yes it
is it's just playing through your
phone okay whatever
anyways so I think that they there's AI
now and they figured out how to download jarjar Banks's personality and movement
procedures but then put it into something that moves on a ball and that's actually what BBA is also the
Millennium Falcon is probably now flown by a Wiki not Han Solo wi sorry not Han
Solo because Han Solo again is probably too old so he might have flown it like
once or twice near the beginning of the movie but by the end it'll be flown by a
rookie
now I just want to finish that song I love that song you know what's really funny is I had never actually listened
to Supernova until like months after
we'd been using it as our intro song for
months um uh what was I going to say how did you have it playing through the
phone and your headphones it was playing through my phone that's what I was trying to tell you oh I couldn't hear
you I was like what are you doing it's obviously not working but then you were
like what and I was like oh okay no I couldn't hear anything thing that's
weird it was definitely playing through your phone that's never happened before
um okay so why don't we move on to our our next like sort of real topic here
ghost when the show is done please tell me you've got some statistic for how
many people you're Banning there's like three or four bands viewable in chat
like all the time this is insane oh no
all right so drone owners must register with the FAA what is it Federal Aviation
Administration something along those lines basically they take care of air um
except the breathability of it that should be their tagline we take care of
the air but you got to you got to say it a
little bit differently we take care of
your air yeah your air yeah your air
it's it's got to be more personal so starting December 21st and when this
first came out uh when we first heard that they were going to try and
Implement drone registration before the end of this year I think both you and I
called BS on it and said there's no way they'll get something turned around that
quickly yeah um so I was wrong you know well wait
wasn't it drone like anyways mandatory drone
registration I said there was no way they would get it pushed through by the end of the year I said something along
the lines of wow that's optimistic yeah it's done December 21st they beat the
end of the year by over a week so uh basically in a
nutshell um you'll find
nuts sorry I'm just waiting for the scene to change that's not a
spoiler true is kind of it's kind of in
its own little world right now it'll happen it's fine like basically if you
register if you register on the December 21st so soon up until January 20th it's
uh free registration if you register after that it's only five bucks so it's
like actually really not that big of a deal it only applies to like I'm going
to say larger drones but it's anything that isn't like over half a pound yeah
yeah over half a pound which is fairly reasonable actually because it leaves a
lot of those like foam you know toy ones
like the indoor flyers and like the little tiny ones and stuff like you don't have to go through and five buck
register all of those Lees that out but if you buy like a DJI for a bunch of
money the $5 registration probably isn't that huge on top of it but this is
something that I see as a as a big problem like and I said that they
wouldn't be able to roll this out in time or I didn't think they'd be able to roll this out in time and I'm actually
only sort of wrong because for
professional use the Drone registry is
actually for for business purpos is
um until the FAA unless the FAA has
granted a special exemption it they're not set up for it yet so they're
expecting to release rules legalizing
business use of drones by mid 2016 so I'm kind of sitting here going
are you kidding me what for six months unless you go and get a a special
exemption you can't use a drone for professional
purposes that you basically haven't done it on time that's all you're really
saying is like yep we weren't done in time but we're just going to push this
through and we're going to understand I guess that people are just going to do
it anyway like yeah dude perfect they're
not going to they're not going to have aerial footage in their videos because
you bend drones for commercial use
right what are you what are you going to do um I don't know I think I think I I
personally believe drones do need to be regulated in some way I don't
necessarily think a national drone registry is the answer I
mean this was you can have a lot wow you can come at this a lot of different ways
you can kind of go okay well you know drones are dangerous um they have the
potential to disrupt you know uh Public
Services you can make a lot of the same arguments about guns in Canada we have a
gun registry look at how well that worked out for us um yeah made literally
no difference at all so do I think a drone registry is the answer no not
necessarily um but I do think something had to be done so I guess they're doing
something I'm sure I'm just ignorant or non-informed in some way but why does
this cost $56 million to operate for
five years four years well um 50 that's
more than $10 million to take registration forms for four like per
year for
what I don't don't know why I was hoping
you were going to be like oh of course it's because of but no I mean if if any
of that money goes towards enforcement then I can see that being
very expensive maybe but you'd think the enforcement would just be like a
lookup yeah cuz like if if someone brings in a call like there's this
broken freaking drone in my backyard and please show up and take it and they go
like oh serial number look it up in the form done so here's the problem you're
coming at this from like a database programmer perspective yes
where this should be very easy because it should just be a database yeah and
basically it should need no one to run it because officers should just go to an
online portal yep and enter a serial number and then they should have the
name of whoever owns it yeah but what you are forgetting okay is that so I
will I will I will play Devil's Advocate I completely agree with you $56 million
is absolutely ridiculous I was hoping youil the American taxpayer should be
outraged that it's costing this much to that's way too much money and and and
when you also consider that people have to pay to register the Drone they're actually paying a registration fee yeah
that's like yeah so so anyway um the whole world doesn't necessarily work
like that okay like you know Joanna middle of Hicksville you know wherever
that has a drone fall in her backyard is going to want to call someone and say
you know hey this drone fell in my backyard it's like a flying saucer I
don't know what this is and she's going to want to talk to someone and they're
going to need to talk to someone and someone's going to like have to go out and retrieve it I don't know if that
falls on the police I don't know if the FAA gets involved in that so
administration of any kind of Public Service involves dealing with the public
which is extremely timec consuming and extremely costly to be fair so in the
notes it says drone registration will cost 56 million to operate yes but that
could be a wording thing yes by CET or who yeah so so there there you go that's
my devil's advocate I I still think it's outrageous but that's all I really have
to say about that um this is interesting
so oh the original poster for that last one was Aries creger on the Forum and
the original poster for this one is Sans Varick
8,350 a day
yeah wow I wonder what kind of videos we
could make with that kind of a budet holy crap and all the confiscated drones
that we
have like why why does it cost that much
I don't know servers servers main main
frames main frames main
frames oh my God uh dos identity
protection oh well no we're not going to talk about
that there would just be an internal website like local network I'm sure all
the police stations are Network together like on their own thing probably not
really like internal police websit remember too like America is basically
like like 56 countries or whatever however many states there are I can
never remember maybe that's why it's so expensive actually you know what that
probably is it could be part of it that's probably it it's probably all of
there okay we figured it out it's probably all the bureaucratic nonsense
and basically setting it all up like 50 times yeah um so actually I kind of get
it now that that that makes it a lot
more clear actually so this is interesting EU countries will be able to
stop kids under 16 from using social media without he figured it out chill
out what were people all upset that I hadn't figured it out yet no the no the
states I'm out of States oh I don't did I I don't care you said 50 did I is it
50 apparently apparently all right then
what about that like uh what about that so many yeah I mean we you should
consolidate a few yeah we keep it simple there British Columbia Alberta Edmonton
is a city in Alberta Manitoba got you
one I did it out of order Ontario Quebec
New Brunswick New Zealand Halifax which
is in New Brunswick lots of little Islands no it's Nova Scotia Prince
Edward Island New West territories we
don't know if that's one or two the Yukon which has a v in it for some
reason yeah we keep it really simple
oh man oh man uh yeah that it'd be great
someone needs to capture that and just like Canadian geography JF
it Canadian geography in 10 seconds or
less you guys is too big and too cut up
and ours is too big and just not enough people are there so it doesn't matter
yeah it's like we don't worry about it it's like Glen is you forgot about uh
Newland like yeah but there's like six people who live there four of which are
probably watching the show and going to complain that I said that yeah um yeah
all right so what are we talking about right so this is really interesting
because the enforcement of it is where
like it hits the fan on this one so each
country in the EO in the EU in the EO in
the EU gets to decide for itself in the European operation on a limit between 13
and 16 years old for how old children
have to be before they can sign up for social media without parental permission
and they are pushing this on the social media networks to figure out how to
enforce with stiff penalties like we're
talking fines of up to 4% of global
sales if they fail to comply wow wow it
got real I mean do I
disagree no actually because there's all
these rules that everyone seems to agree on and that's that kids should be should
have their parents permission to participate in some of this stuff because there's a lot of stuff out there
that they probably shouldn't have access to at 13 years of age and you could
argue that something like uh social
media could actually be more detrimental to a kid than like a porn website um um
I could easily make that argument yeah so and I'm not going to bother because
I'm sure I always I always frame those things like you could argue cuz I don't
have a kid so I haven't like actually deeply thought through these things but
I would be more scared of social media than other stuff yep I mean I mean okay
there is there is probably some fairly damaging pornographic material as well
but if we're just talking like you know two people doing a thing which is
the easiest stuff to find which is the easiest stuff to find um I really don't
think that's as big of a deal as some of the some of the
really horrible and I like I hate to use the bullying word because it almost it
it sounds less severe than some of the some of the stuff people can go through
on social media there's even the small bits where you're like trying to give them a positive outlook on life and all
this kind of stuff and like social media is largely just a tank of hatred yeah I
mean it really depends on who you surround yourself with on it but that's
that's something trending stuff too that I don't think every 13-year-old is Savvy
enough to have that figured out yet and I think that's why they put these age restrictions in place um and you can say
well I was ready when I was 13 and that's great and so was I actually and
my parents recognized that and let me have a
computer so it would have been fine everything would have been fine um my
parents were like you can have a computer but we're going to put in the middle of like everything yeah and
that's that's the way I'm going to do it is like yeah you can use the tablet use
it on the couch over there um so the social media Services
dislike this for obvious reasons it adds a barrier to entry for their platforms
and it means that they they can't really just kind of go oh well oh we we didn't
see we uh you know uh she she said she
was legal you know so I I showed her all
those ads even though that's you know there's legislation that says I can't do
that and I did all these things her her current like enrollment is said as an
elementary school but she had a really good fake I couldn't
tell it's like yeah that actually has never held up um so I don't really
understand why it's held up thus far in this case so yep yeah let's let's see
how that let's see how that goes um the companies will not be allowed to divulge
information that they have received for a particular purpose without the permission of the person concerned so
they're basically just um tightening down the laws and honestly though as
much as I'm kind of going yeah well this seems like a good idea uh I do also
understand it's really not that simple and sometimes she has a really good fake
ID um and it's really really hard to tell so
one one potentially very negative thing that I see coming out of this is that in
order for these sites to validate uh that these people are indeed
uh overage or that they do indeed have parental permission is that they could
become even more strict about you providing proof of who you are um
something that you know many internet privacy Advocates
are seriously against when I heard this
I just assumed that wow that's really shitty I
just assumed that you would need like a parent's Twitter account to be like like
send an email to this person and invite them to the program that's the only way
that they can join and like I ass well I assumed that a parent could Define email
addresses so like don't let this person register they're not old enough or
whatever right but I don't know how you could verify that you own it maybe you
have to like click confirm on the other end of the email or something to agree
that you're not allowed to have an account but yeah if it has to be some
sort of ID registration that's actually kind of sketchy yep so there's there's
the the the answer is never that simple
um and speaking of answer never being that simple if only getting rid of Isis
was as simple as weaponized AI uh so
this was posted by novas ball in the Forum original article here is from um
wow my eyes are so tired e Technics or
UK business I got e Technics up here we go Boom the Pentagon wants $155
billion for weaponized AI in
2017 15 billion mind you if all the
government can do with what was it 56 million is manag to create a drone
registry I'm actually not worried about them making much progress also to be
fair a lot of what it lists in here who knows what they're actually going to do
but a lot of what it listen here is making the human more effective in
combat and they're talking about things like exos skill wearable devices Cooperative systems um smart missiles
and stuff what makes me assume that it's not necessarily only that is they're
totally doing literally all of those things already yeah so I I think it's
actually very safe to say that that has nothing to do with what they're doing
because uh they're definitely doing where devices already they already have
exoskeletons I'm sure they already have Cooperative systems for drones and uh
planes to fly together and they definitely have missiles already so um
so get get this we'll work closely with Congress to make weaponized AI program
cost effective and the work will be classified of course it will be
classified so so whatever they're telling us they're also telling us the
work will be classified yeah yeah so rip
oh well guess that's all we really have to say about that because yeah it's
class all the rest of it is classified and we don't know what it is Rip we
don't know what it is well it's it's possible we'll never know what it is um
you know it is amazing the kind of stuff
that gets kept under that gets like kind of swept under the rug by the US
government CU what is it well there's that law where something like 50 years
after something or 75 years or however long it is like crazy records can be
opened and like I was listening to Sports Talk Radio it's no secret it's
the only thing I listen to in the car
and I forget who it is he's some like baseball um like alltime
uh he was betting on no no betting on
games something something what's his name Pete Rose there we go so uh Pete
Rose after years of public denial admitted to betting on baseball uh when
he wasn't playing there's evidence to support that he was betting while he was
still playing but some of the records for this are sealed by the US government
and I'm kind of sitting here going like they were talking about this and they're like yeah but we won't know until you
know the records get unsealed I was like why why is a baseball player right like
what you got to be kidding me like is this a matter of National Security did he hit a ball too hard and hit a
freaking UFO out of the sky like you got to be kidding me here
um so I I actually forget why I got on the subject of that it was just it
reminded me it's funny the stuff that comes out of there though
like man some War stuff gets really
weird like some of the things they're researching which gets opened up and
it's like the freak I didn't oh yeah I'm not going
to get into it anyways all right Germany attempting to end hate speech on the
internet uh this was posted by Aries creger on the Forum and I guess I I wish
them a lot more luck and success than I wish the Pentagon on weaponizing
AI um but I don't think that's going to do much for either my favorite two notes
on here is unclear how these things will work and also unclear what the appeal
process c will look like so basically the whole thing is unclear no one
understands how it's supposed to happen but yeah complaints will be examined by
special teams inside the companies that will decide whether the content violates
German laws and this is social media
companies okay so they've got special teams to examine the content a Twitter
spokesperson declined to comment representatives from Facebook Google and
the German government did not immediately respond to requests for
comment from C and like would this mean
that like lonus Tech tips would have to have a special team for the
Forum wow I hope not because like a lot
of those kind of sites aren't really going to be able to survive if they need
like actually dedicated members cuz like here's the thing to consider is like
while we do moderate the public forum we might not necessarily be able to hit it
within that time frame and there's nothing that we can really do about private messages because we don't
monitor them for privacy reasons
yeah so you can report them if you're a forum user you can report the private
message and if you report it it invites us into the conversation we can see it
yes but outside of that no so um yeah well if the German
government calls I'll just be like H Misa noen thank you bye
so was that like jar jar mixed with okay
okay no I don't think I is Misa in
German jerk I was trying to figure out what you mixed though and I was like
wait charar I was trying to think of like
what language oh all right sure so this
was posted by Nova sorry I am so tired this week
GI um George Hots has built a
self-driving car in his garage raising
the obvious question why was this so complicated because
there's really nothing to crash into in a garage oh no and how will he keep from
dying must be very low emissions well it could be a vented
garage I guess it could be a vented garage do they have that like is that like is that like an antiu suicide like
feature of houses that would be kind of
cool right like if they just made it like Canadian law you have them closed
and then like the vents closed and then if it detects CO2 could just open yeah
and like fans could turn on or something like it seems like like in our in our
rubber room but no because they tap the thing oh right because you sit in the
car so well excuse me for not knowing like the most about I'll try not to
right oh yeah good call okay um so
moving forward he yeah anyways th this
dude is like really smart but has an
interesting personality he was the first person as far as this might I'm going
totally Off Script here but I think he was the first person to hack the iPhone
in order to get it onto carriers that weren't AT&T this is geohot very well
known on the internet for the hackings of the things that's what his car looks
like right now pretty badass um he's
worked for a lot of like really crazy companies but not for very
long he likes to quit um and then move
on because he likes to um say that he
knows everything thing and is much further than that company and then be like well this isn't challenging enough
and then move on which is why he lives in his garage but also why he does Super
badass stuff like this um he had meetings with Elon Musk Elon Musk
offered him millions and millions and millions of dollars if his thing was
able to beat the one that they're already planning on replacing that's in the Teslas and this guy eventually was
like you changed the terms too much so nope elon's email back was literally
just okay so they were done talking now
um his self-driving car is largely built
uh built around learning so the Prototype will learn from other drivers
and right now has been learning from that dude um so if you're going to drive
this car hopefully you think that that dude drives really really really good
um really good but theoretically over
time it will learn from a large amount of drivers and should be okay my only
problem with that is that it totally leaves room for error um yeah all we
need to set back self-driving car legislation by a decade or more bad
competition is is a crappy product that isn't ready for prime time I don't think
this dude's going to release a crappy product he's actually like really really
really really good but but it's still scary yeah yeah it grabs data from other
drivers and learns from their choices um right now it's learning off of him it's
a really interesting setup and he plans on selling it for like surprisingly
really cheap yeah apparently the cameras that it's using it's like a a kit of
about six cameras that would be similar to the kind that you would find in a
smartphone um So the plan is to sell
camera and software for $1,000 each to automakers or to Consumers yeah so you
could buy this kit and implement it in your own car which is pretty cool yeah
if you also happen to have the you know techronics know how yeah to to make that
happen so this next oh man this next
topic I actually oh you know what no before we get into this next topic
sponsors so our first sponsor today is fresh books the books that keep you
fresh you know what's really good when you go to a bookstore and you pick up a
new book and it smells really good because it smells fresh I'm into that
I'm into that but that's actually nothing to do with freshbooks so
freshbooks is a cloud-based accounting software for small businesses that lets
them get organized get paid faster track
hours and expenses and all of that without necessarily being a a numbers a
numbers person so if you're running a small dance studio or you're doing
massage on the side or you're doing massage on the back or massage on the
front or sorry I got sidetracked there
yeah abdominal abdominal massage roll massage you know yeah it's like rolling
the dough massage um sorry what are we
talking about right so you could rolling the dough you could be a
Baker um I thought you say roll in the dough by using fresh books to invoice oh
that's good too oh yeah I like that one better than mine um
so so basically you can keep track of your hours you can uh send bills to your
clients you can accept deposits you can get paid by your clients you can see
when they've seen the invoice so you can be like yo sup you should probably pay
me right about now although I wouldn't recommend you know going all drug dealer
collections on it yeah maybe maybe still have to actually run your business well
which is exactly the point of this is you can spend your time running your business doing your work instead of
dinking around with complicated accounting software all the time so if
you want to try it out for free visit freshbooks.com slw and claim your free
trial and enter when in the how did You Hear About Us section and they'll be
like no we said how and you'll be like when and they'll be like
how they'll be like who and you'll be like when and the what
what um speaking of what speaking of
what the hell sorry I did a thing I did a thing that was wrong and okay tunnel
bear if you want to do the thing that is
wrong you go ahead you do tunnel there I clearly can't handle this today if you
want to do the thing that is wrong in your country but might be right in
someone else's country you could use tunnel bear or if you just want to cover
up your tracks or whatever I don't know
it's a VPN it's free if you use 500 megabytes of data in one month are you
advising people on how to do I'm just I don't know I'm leaving it up to them
people can do whatever they want that's what tunnel bear is about you can hide
yourself behind a bear it's pretty cool I actually love the tunnel bear like
naming scheme and pictures and I actually use it all the time now I'm not even just saying that because it's a
sponsor spot it's running on my work computer literally this second and it's
a nice little wooden dashboard I like the clicky sound that the button makes whatever none of that's important they
have apps for iOS Android PC and mac and also a Chrome extension I just use the
Windows app not the Chrome extension but whatever um and it lets you tunnel to up
to 16 different countries um and one thing that I like is they also have just
what is the closest tunnel as an option which is actually pretty cool if you're
not currently worried about getting outside of your own country in order to
access a service but still want to cover up your tracks whether it's for advertisement targeting reasons or other
reasons um you can just go what's the closest tunnel and then it's probably
nice and fast I noticed no perceivable speed difference in just browsing and
doing other various basic things on my computer when doing that so that was
cool um they've fixed the annoying parts of VPN usage for personal use there's no
need to mess around with Port configurations DNS or other router settings or whatever you just download
the thing install the thing log into the thing press the knobby button onto on
and then it works so yeah if you want to
get unlimited data you have to pay for it but you can save 10% by going to
be.com and finally good old Squarespace
isang the funny thing about dang it that
is exactly where I was going with that really the funny thing about Squarespace
is that their sites look great regardless of the aspect ratio of your
screen that is exactly where I was going
with it oh none of this is scripted you ruin everything um Squarespace build it
beautiful thank you that was SC red so they've got 247 support via live chat
and email it's only eight bucks a month for the management tools to manage your
website as well as your web hosting service and uh oh that's to start with
obviously they do have more expensive plans Commerce is included with every
website and the templates look great on any size screen regardless of whether
you want to build a blog or uh or uh like you know informational site about
barrels or crates or five gallon buckets
or whatever the case may be um and you
can start a trial on Squarespace with no credit card required and start building
your website today visit squarespace.com and use offer code Linus to save 10% and
remember Squarespace is not just for you
Squarespace is for anyone who wants to build a website and wants it to actually
be easy and still look not like crap and when I say not like crap I mean they
actually look really good as long as you don't intentionally find photos of crap
and upload them to Squarespace you could probably still make it look good you could probably still make it look good
with Squarespace so uh there you go guys squarespace.com offer code Linus save
10% Squarespace build it
beautiful someone tweeted them the other day and included me in it and was like
you guys should really get a commercial of just Luke running around yelling
Squarespace build it beautiful at random people no they should
not we fun they are so much the problem
is people would just be like scared and like what just happened and they
wouldn't get the point at all just running up to people squish B pet
beautiful then running like no one would get it it wouldn't work well as a
marketing campaign okay well hold on a second let's think let's talk about
what's effective as a marketing campaign if you were to if you were to do this to
adults I don't think it would be effective but if you were to scream it at
children you could actually scar them for
life why is that okay remember so hold on hold on so you so you like
paint your teeth red right and you put in like yellow contacts or whatever so
you like walk up to people with your eyes closed so you walk so you walk up
to people with your eyes closed and your mouth closed or like these kids right be
like beautiful and you scream in their face
right sorry did I spit on you it's got all like the laptop my bad um it's fine
I I think that they would not only remember that forever but they would
tell their friends probably it would be a very wellknown
campaign yeah V it would be pretty viral I think I don't know if it would be
viral in like an it's a virus type way
yeah yeah yeah um wow some of my best SL
worst ideas really come when I'm super sleep deprived like this I told I told
you my writing thing right if I write a script at like 4 or5 in the morning it's
considerably better like the length it's
it's like it's it's it's tight it's packed with really good information it's
funny all that kind of stuff and it's I do it really quickly done the whole
thing in like next you're gon to tell me that you could do that in the afternoon if I let you bring some reefer into the
office some reer oh my God apparently
this office runs on that stuff that I'm not going to name the drink not alcohol
the the uh
uh what is that I don't even know what that is really yeah it's that like
insane vanity energy drink that John's been totally hyped up on over the last
like week and a half oh he has and every once in a while he's like he'll be like
I don't feel very good I was like how much did you have he's like two I'm like
don't do that oh is there a reason we're not
saying the name of it like are we in negotiations with them to be a sponsor
or something or I just I just I don't know why we have it I don't know oh okay
we have like a lot of it for some reason oh okay is this a Colton initiative yeah
okay okay sure well whatever um okay right so
the reason that this next topic reminded me of our sponsor spot for the day is
that it actually involves one of our
sponsors um not on the show today but uh
Dollar Shave Club is actually one of our oldest
sponsors um going back they they were
actually them and Squarespace were were I think the first couple who were not
tech companies we're just like yeah we think what you guys do is cool we're not
a tech company but we figure like we figure squ is kind of everyone needs a
website though you don't have to like it's not Intel they don't make Hardware
they're not a tech by Tech I meant Hardware to be clear yeah yes yes
software is technology and quite frankly Innovative new business models are also
say razor kind of are too a lot of
things are techn arguably this piece of foam is technology if you really want to
start getting into it fire is technology thank
you yeah all right so basically um
technology Gillette is suing Dollar Shave Club for patent
infringement and um you could say that Gillette has razor
burn
wow I was trying to think of a funny hook for a topic call out I couldn't
think of one but I just got yeah that is a real slap in the face to H Dollar
Shave Club there nice job good one okay
so a suit was filed in a in a Delaware Court stating that
Dollar Shave Club razors infringe on a Gillette patent for the way that the
razors are designed as well as the materials used on the blades Gilette
says that Dollar Shave Club has damaged its business and threatened its
intellectual property I'm sure they've damaged business sure damaged their business quite heavily actually in the
best possible way calling for an injunction for a Dollar Shave Club to
stop selling razors that violate the patent as well as compensation for
damages a Dollar Shave Club representative said they're looking into
the situation y so basically um Proctor and
Gamble is going to try to um Sue away
the only competition that they really have and go back to being uh basically a
monopoly I don't think sh is Gillette tried their own club thing yep and it
probably just burned and failed super hard if I recall correctly their pricing
wasn't very good um I don't know if it was available in Canada I remember
seeing an ad for it at some point but yeah they just called it like Gillette
shave club or something like that like they they didn't even try yeah they
didn't even they didn't even try like to like like dollar beard club or whatever
it's called that thing that's ridiculous
but I get it yeah at least it's a
different I guess that one actually weirded me out
a lot too I was just like they shouldn't have done it they should have just
called it something else and then they even if they just called it beard Club
yeah and they're like their promotional video is a straight ripoff of the Dollar
Shave Club promotional video um I wonder
how they're doing like do they still exist dollar be beard Club I don't know
I'm sure they probably exist um a monthly subscription thing so like if I
recall correctly even their site was like really really similarly laid out
yeah to the point where I contacted Dollar Shave Club when I heard about it I was like is this you guys oh and
they're just like no that would have been smart though find the dudes that
want to shave with a razor and find the dudes that don't want to shave with a razor and cater to both of them wow
their site is really slow or it's oh how
it works okay yeah so it's like this
exact accelerators same can you make your beard grow faster um use these
amazing thck sounds snake oil it's probably oils
probably oils it might be a real thing I just I've just never heard of that yeah
um so anyway yeah I guess dud from uh this is really interesting um oh it
is this is really interesting apparently Dollar Shave Club has more than two
million subscribers wow which I actually
had like I had no idea how many subscribers they have I just you know we
work with them they sponsor us we talk about Dollar Shave Club I mean I never
actually was like hey could I just get a copy of your financial so that I can for
my own curiosity just kind of know so
they they have products ranging from what is it about a dollar to $9 is the
top end one um yeah per month so what
that means if they have two million subscribers is let's average it but
let's lean towards sort of the lower end let's say they get $4.50 per subscriber or something like
that what isn't that exactly an average not tune toward towards the L no because
the uh the next one up is higher than the middle oh I okay yeah yeah so 4 and
half time 2 million for some reason that just Bing searched for me you have got
to be kidding me this has to be a new Behavior I don't think I've seen it do
this before so that would be $9 million a
month wow yeah plus but butter one wipe
Charlie's not bad yeah but you have to factor in
material cost oh I know it's not it's not pure profit yeah I do understand
that they actually have a warehouse they they're actually giving you razors they
actually ship physical product to you so so get this get this you guys 4.5 time 2
million okay if I press enter instead of
just opening it in calculator which would be the obvious sensible thing to
do I know it I know it did just give me the answer here it Bings it please never
Bing anything Windows 10 never ever Bing
anything not even once hate
Bing and I don't hate it like out of SPID or anything it just doesn't work
someone said I can't believe he used a calculator he actually does do a lot of
mental math just when you have 7,000 people watching you live right now and
180 200 and something thousand people watching you later you might as well
check your math and you're also producing the show that you are you know
one of only and hosting and all that kind of stuff
and like if you've been in high LEL education you probably check like I
found that even dudes that could do basically any Mental Math would just
check their stuff on a calculator anyways and then if what they thought
was going to happen didn't happen on the calculator then they wouldn't make sure
their calculator wasn't broken they would make sure that they input it
correct and last but not least we had a data loss thing this week and I haven't
slept much and my daughter's sick so I was up at 5:45 this morning and I didn't
sleep until two last night so I'm super duper tired having a second input for
your math is not a bad so exclusive on
techbot overclocking locked Intel Sky
CPUs is now possible
D so ASRock has apparently implemented
this already on some of their motherboards with a BIOS update that
enables overclocking for nonk SKS which pretty much the benefit
of a casc is that you can overclock it
um because I mean yes they are clocked higher out of the box but if you can
overclock a lot of the time the binning differences from one chip to another one
unless you're talking like oh I really need that extra you know 67 of a watt of
idle power consumption or whatever uh is it doesn't affect the final overclock
and clock speed that much there's a lot of other things that they've been for operating voltage temperatures uh power
consumption all that other kind of stuff so being able to overclock locked skyl
processors kind of a big deal the update will be rolled out soon and the
speculation is that although ASRock is the first other motherboard makers will
follow so uh the vendors do need to implement a specific workaround for this
and you can bet that Intel is not going to be thrilled about it I was just going to say Intel's not going to be stoked on
that nope they are not but quite frankly I
mean Intel has already started to relax
the death grip when they released the Pentium anniversary edition they gave us
a nonk unlocked skew um I hope that this
is a move towards you know maybe we just won't
lock this stuff down anymore because yeah maybe we could
differentiate with different features like giving them more cores or like you
know higher end virtualization technology capabilities more PCI Express
Lanes I am all over that virtualization stuff right now I I I am loving it well
the difference is that I've always loved the idea but I've never had the time to
sit down and go okay I am going to learn VMware today it's just never really
happened for me and unraid has a made it really simple and B given me a reason to
deploy it on systems other than just to
have virtualization um the fact that so many of our systems are also are are NZ are
overpowered nazes it's like we are like
a prime candidate for unraid because we've got all these Nas machines that
are chalk full of zons and a bunch of RAM and it's like yeah if I could if I
could have like overpowered nzs that go down all the time no well that's whole
other conversation but if I could use some of that CPU power on my overpowered
nazes to maybe that's why they're going down all the time render watch folders
or whatever else then uh then great that's good news love
it this is hilarious it's already patched by the way the last one was from
aing oh yeah um already ped but
um and the the headline here is is very
uh sensationalist because it's already patched what how do I make this ad go
away what the crap Life Hacker oh my God
it covers the headline stop okay if I
click expand does it go away no expand
does nothing wrecked uh you can read the
headline in the URL what the crap
crap okay yeah thank you you can break
into a Linux system by pressing
backspace and then the headline it's 28
times I don't know why it's yeah yeah um
so yeah do you want to run through this uh basically as far as I knew you
literally just press in the bootloader press backspace 28 times and then it
asks you for your username to access the grub rescue shell and then you can
access all the things yep so that was patched really
fast and that's about it I mean it's one of
those things where it's like who would even do that so the so the fact that it
sat there for what was it like eight years or something like that um was
uncovered by a couple of security researchers in Spain you need and you
need like direct physical access Y and
like yeah like it's not the end of the
world either it's pretty funny but it's pretty careless and pretty funny and uh
yeah hopefully hopefully no one was actually compromised by it they they
patched it really really quickly though fast yeah uh seates CFO this was
originally posted by Z mule on the Forum figures hard drives are going to stay
relevant for the next 20 years the original article here is from NN
Tech um so I I see it's really funny cuz
like a lot of the a lot of the the blurb here I I really you know don't really
understand the relevance the very first hard disk drives were demonstrated by
IBM back in 1956 the hard drive has held up for all
these you know 60 years and so it's probably got another 15 to 20 years left
you know what the past is actually zero indication of the future um especially
when it comes to high technology you know what else you know what else held
had had lasted a really long time phones without touch
screens where are they where are they now oh yeah remember remember how
quickly that transition happened between the phone that's attached to the wall
and the phone that you can carry around the house with you that was like
overnight like over a span of like a couple years everyone in their dog went
from like twirling it's really funny cuz
you watch old movies and like the girls on the bed with the feet behind her
twirling the card and it's just like there's something off about
this we had like a lot of people that that I knew did this too is you'd have
one corded phone and it was the old one that just somehow kept working and you'd
keep it in the house just in case all the cordless phones died it was like ow
whatever you can use that one I guess while the other one charges then just
switch so uh basically if people even have house phones anymore that was a
huge switch yeah yeah I don't have one
we don't have a line at the office it's finally starting to get to the the point
where they're starting to remove home phone from forms sign up forms have you
noticed that no not a ton of them but I've noticed a few sign up forms there
don't bother with the home phone line anymore it's funny or or the mandatory
flag is not on home phone it's on mobile phone I've seen that too wow I haven't
seen that before that one I think I've only seen that once all right so uh hard
drives to stay relevant for the next 15 yearses um to stay this this is great
one of the uses that to stay relevant hdds need to keep increasing
capacity according to the tech road map hard drives will rise to 100 terabytes
by 2025 and in the coming years they will
adopt new writing techniques to be fair the win terabyte drives came out I was
like wow I can just get one of those and put everything on it yeah it'll keep
everything forever now I like four terab hard drive I'm like H I kind of need
like twice that amount of space I do still have some major concern concerns
about 100 tab drives there's some good there's actually some good graphs in the
uh in the article here so here we have perpendicular magnetic recording so
that's that's now then we have perpendicular magnetic recording but
like more better so plus um then there's heat assisted magnetic recording that is
apparently going to get us
uh somewhere in the neighborhood of so here's where we're at now 2015 is is our
Baseline so that's apparently going to get us up to
wait is this a is this a logarithmic
scale uh yeah I think this is 100 yeah
oh crying out loud okay well that does
not make my life easier right now so that gets us to um percentages what are
what are what are we at so we're we're at about 10 terabytes right now so
halfway to 100 would be what ah math was
never a strong point for me like like this kind of math anyway so 100
terabytes by 2025 and in the year 2019 sort of
somewhere in the neighborhood of it looks like see this is but this is a
measure of aerial density in terabytes per inch squared so I have to also
convert that to the capacities of the drives that we have today screw the
there's other there's there's yeah screw the graph there's other factors like how
many platters they're going to put in a drive so things like helium fil drives
will allow for more platters within a drive um so they figure with air and
inside you can get around five discs with helium you can get around seven um
with also power consumption decrease as well as a temperature decrease so
there's a bunch of stuff that's coming to increase the aerial density and
increase the number of platters and and make them higher capacity but here is my
concern while over the last five to
eight years we have seen a huge
Improvement in capacity of drives like I
still remember building my first computer in high school when I was like
so it would have been about 10 11 12 years ago I don't know how old I am um
about 12 years ago and like you know 120
gigs was pretty good and now I can have an 8 tbte drive the problem is that
they've only about 2 and a2x in speed in that time and we're running into that
problem that usb2 drives ran into where
the flash capacity got so high that you
could literally have a thumb drive that would take you several days to fill up
and it's like what is the actual point of this
anymore it's gotten to the point where this is just kind of stupid now um so a
drive that takes so long to fill and so
long to read all the data off of becomes very difficult to back up uh becomes
kind of Impractical in some ways so I I
I don't know I don't know I guess um you know hey maybe I'm totally wrong about
this and we'll uh and we'll cross that bridge when we get to it and they'll
find ways to also dramatically increase the reliability because if you know
you're going to write 100 terabytes of data to a drive at a time I sure as heck
hope that that's not going to you know make one mistake in a thousand you know
billion or whatever 100 billion there we go 100 billion yeah it can't make one
mistake in a 100 billion or you've got a
problem yeah that's a little scary to be fair bites that's not even bits times
eight if if you're going to be backups a lot of people do incremental backups mhm
instead of like waiting till they have a giant thing and then backing it up
that's true but
um I mean if you if you're doing a seed copy if you buy a new drive you will
have to put stuff on it if the objective is to buy that new drive or even even
doing something like if you're using a product like gun raid doing a parody
sync that will take a long time oh yeah reading 100 terabytes of of data off of
all of your drives while you build a parody desk is going to take a really
long time it's going to suck so I don't know one thing that I'm really
interested in is the fact that we still have data caps and data caps are even
like the amount of data caps is increasing not necessarily you mean like
mobile data uh no oh internet data yeah
oh yeah yeah um and like the amount of places that have data caps seem to be
increasing the data caps themselves are not increasing that would be nice if
they would increase to the point where they don't matter they're not um but the
amount of places that have them is increasing yet game sizes and Netflix
and all this kind of stuff is massively increasing the amount that we need to
download um YouTube in higher definition
Netflix at all um game sizes being like
all 50 gigs or above these days um like
I'm luckily my ipeed uh seems to mostly
ignore it I'm over my data cap every month and I have the most expensive one
I can get yep like
I don't even feel like I do anything crazy like I actually don't feel like I
do there's lots of things that I would love to do that I can't because I'm like
well I would be way over my data cap and they definitely pissed to me that Shaw
Shaw recently dialed back like all their services um and the problem is that I
don't have good telis service in my area like you've got their you've got their
Fiber service which is like good for you buddy that's awesome and like I spent
nothing for me I spent way too much it's my highest monthly bill outside of rent
and seriously and I still hit their data cap all the time um whereas like in my
area they're they're still ADSL and it's 25 down one up or something stupid like
that I was like take a hike I think I can get unlimited data but I have to
spend like 40 more bucks a month or something ouch which is just like holy
crap I basically have to get an entirely new internet plan right well I actually
have a plan for for my house if I can find a way to put like a tower on top of
the lonus media group building just Beam
Beam your not not limited internet from here over there so we actually got a
really cool piece of equipment from ubiquity networks is here now it's here
yeah it's here um so we've got a dish based uh five gigahertz long distance
like one of the ones we have can do 500 megabit over around 200
kilometers um wow now that's really far
yeah it's like actually like like you it
would take you two hours to Drive yeah wow that's really cool um but you have
to have a direct line of sight so if when we're like really old and retired
we should get like cabins but then have like land
networking play Halo one when L when lonus Media Group you know takes off and
we can all just retire and like live in the woods because whatever yeah no oh I
didn't mean like a vacation cabin I meant like a we just don't want to be
near Society for whatever yeah so so basically you know we just kind of go
okay we tell our ISP like okay how far how close can you get fiber okay get it
to one of us and then we just build like a we build our own Tower um people were
telling me someone was telling me that apparently there's a community that that
did this really like a remote community that was just like we are tired of this
bull crap and they used this kind of Gear to to bring in one really great
connection they like they built their own ISP Network thing I was like that is
so cool that's pretty sick that is so cool like did they one did they run one
line and then like flush it out or did they beam it all the way over they they
no they ran a line I think and then they're beaming it to all the remote
like houses and stuff and people are just building Towers to receive it so
cool that's a really cool way to get away from dialup I mean I actually just
for Giggles I I got the ISP that so we had to build out fiber to this location
I wasn't here already in fact no one was here already Shaw was like um yeah I
guess if you want service you can like check with other people in the building
and see if they want it to and if you can get enough people then we'll bring it out like are you freaking kidding me
no your entire job as the Monopoly
holder is to build the stupid infrastructure I'm sorry we're in a new
neighborhood I'm sorry it's not convenient for
you anyway any anyway for fiber you kind
of do have to deal with that so so we had to build out fiber to the building
here in addition to our monthly bill so for giggle
I got I got a quote on what it would cost to build up fiber to my
house uh I think it was going to cost something to the tune of 10 to1
15,000 but think about this for a
second if you were in a place that's
like in in an area like mine where there's a bunch of bylaws and this and
that you wouldn't be able to get away with this but if you were in a a more
remote Community where you know people actually get together at the Town Hall
you know once a quarter and talk about Community issues and you kind of went
okay look guys it's going to cost us 10 or $15,000 to get fiber built out to
like this spot but if we put up a if we put up a little Tower and we if we pay
just one monthly bill we can all have low latency high-speed internet that we
otherwise wouldn't be able to have if we all just kind of pull together and I see
people getting behind that I could see see
people uh Grand
Pap has farmet like dial up Farm can't watch my
videos yeah straight up doesn't work yep
my dad has downloaded them and like sent
them to him where he could download them over long long periods of time to watch
before like what yeah there's not many times
where I dropped the like cuz it's 2015 but like how are people still on diala
yeah it's like actually it's 15 how are people still on and here's the crazy
thing about it to me too is like why aren't isps just offering this service
then cu the dishes are not that expensive like yes they're expensive but
if I'm charging a customer you know because that's that's one monthly bill
yeah if I'm charging a customer $80 a month or whatever I can eat a few
hundred dollars in equipment cost I mean they already do it on the on the well
okay they don't actually some isps do charge you a rental fee for your modem
so okay never mind but then then fine
make it a rental fee then make it an additional 10 15 bucks a month over the
course of threeyear Deal or whatever that works out to um you know if you've
got a 200 km range on something like this I don't see it being impossible I
think they just don't feel like it yeah it's not even about that there's no
profit to be made in it it's just about that it's not enough it sounds work it
sounds like hard work yeah it sounds like actual work to actually uh I don't
know I guess we'd have to guess we'd have to like put a dish on a tower and
like oh we have to send someone out there we're probably going to have to pay them extra we're going put them in a
