okay guys welcome to the W show I think
I'm live and I will be hosting the show with a very what is up with this twitch
user lonus late tips okay okay yes I was
a little bit late today but how could I run the show without my special co-host
here huh I mean if Harry wasn't helping me host the show today would you guys
even be tuned in I didn't think so so uh
that's my way of apologizing for being late uh since we don't actually have a
permanent W show set yet uh getting the
W show going involves tearing everything else down getting the W show up and
running and then uh bringing it to you guys about well 16 minutes late sorry
about that so the good news though is today's show will actually have Tech
news since there's no one here to distract me with his rugged good looks
although Daniel Radcliffe does have pretty rugged good looks uh so I'll be
just kind of focused on interacting with you guys and talking about what actually
happened in the world of tech this week our headline topics are what else we got
actually I'm just going to pick random headline topics oh look at that Nick
went and picked headline topics for me all right so the z170 chipset launched
along with Skylake Enthusiast grade processors to go with it I know we don't
have a review those of you who follow me on social media will know why but I'll
talk more about this later Cherry has announced their Cherry MX silent
switches where Cherry MX key switches just not silent enough for you well
maybe now they will I don't know I haven't tried them yet maybe they're totally loud we'll find out and there's
a tool for unlocking shaders in your AMD GPU it's not the first time something
like this has popped up so let's go ahead and roll the
intro bam oh crap
oh apparently there's no intro sound well oh I know why that is okay the only
way I could figure out to get rid of the stupid uh Echo I I can't I don't know
what it is something in the settings is borked right now and I can't figure out
how to get the um the HDMI audio from
the camera which is being pulled off of a off of a microphone on the camera so
it sounds horrible here I'll show you guys what it sounds like for a sec hello hello oh it's awful oh so
that's why I have that turned off but because I have my system sound disabled
you guys can't hear the wow intro so whatever it is what it is um apparently
we're dropping frames I don't know what to tell you guys because I am not dropping any frames on my side and my
bit rate isn't super high and our connection is fine
so yeah may actually be uh may actually be a twitch issue this time apparently
it sounds fine
oh okay then well whatever we'll fix it
during the outro I think the point is let's get going on our first topic of
the day so I'll go ahead and post the link since I don't have my handy dandy
helper today go ahead and click that bad boy uh
basically well this is this is kind of the big news Intel launched partially
launched their Skylake code name CPUs
let's go ahead and post that puppy there sorry this takes a little longer when
I'm doing it by myself and their z170
chipset so here we go news item is this going to
work oh okay no no no that's that's super weird
well let's just add a screen capture region again we'll go ahead and capture
that window there we go news item no big deal all right so Intel deut debuts
sixth generation core processor family and z170 express chipset now don't
expect this to revolutionize your gaming experience that was never what was
promised and definitely not what was delivered but what you can expect is
incremental per performance improvements now not quite to the degree that I would
love to see on a more on a more mainstream and more upto-date platform
because the thing that happens here again is that the mainstream platform
actually overtakes the Enthusiast platform in terms of the processor
architecture being used so the Enthusiast platform that is LGA 20113 is
now using Haswell e while the mainstream platform which has under gone a socket
change here that's something to note this is LGA
1151 so we've now gone LGA 1156 1155
1150 and 1151 these are not
interoperable in any meaningful way but the LGA 1151 socket now has a more
advanced microarchitecture than the Enthusiast grade socket and the the
thing there is that the Enthusiast grade socket gets a bunch of features that the
mainstream one doesn't things like quad Channel memory things like uh up to oh
crap memory doesn't I hope my serves up to 40 PCI Express Lanes off of a single
CPU whereas the mainstream one is still stuck at 20 PCI Lanes if I recall
correctly and of course this article doesn't mention that but I should be in
should be in the neighborhood of 20 PCI Express Lanes which means that if you're running dual Graphics you are splitting
your top PCI Express 16x Lane no matter what to 8 by8 which doesn't matter in
terms of performance but if you want to throw a bunch more Hardware in there
then you're pretty much hooped also it means that you are are limited to quad
core processors Max whereas the Enthusiast grade platforms are limited
to well cuz you can hardly call it a limit they've got six or eight core
processors and then going up to 18 core processors if you want to spend five
grand on a Zeon so let's talk about some
of the things that have improved here number one is ddr4 has officially
reached the mainstream I just wish that
the pricing reflected it immediately these things take time it'll take a
little while for ddr4 to get cheap now what can happen is you could have a
Skylake motherboard that supports DDR3 or ddr4 the architecture actually does
support both and I would fully expect to
see as we get SKS that are not K
overclocking SKS um which are coming so right now we've only got two SKS the 66
excuse me 6700k and the core i5 6500k so
as we get more mainstream SKS I would expect to see boards much like we saw in
the past with ddr2 and DDR3 on the same board although you could only use one at
a time and I'm assuming the same will be true boards that support DDR3 and ddr4
so you could buy cheap DDR3 now and then you know maybe higher density higher
speed ddr4 in the future although I would be absolutely floored if ddr4
makes any kind of a difference in anything other than the use of the
onboard Graphics whether that's running games or whether that's using some kind
of GPU compute so let's talk specs the core
i76700k is the usual thing it's got a nominal frequency of 4 GHz so Intel has
once again managed to stay above that 4 GHz barrier even for a base frequency
and it can turbo boost to 4.2 GHz Now Intel was really ramping up their turbo
boost frequencies last generation and
now they've really backed off of it again that is only a 5% increase with
turbo boost so I guess one way of looking at it is it's running pretty
damn near the maximum frequency all the time but another way of looking at it is
that um you're not really getting any extra for your power budget I mean maybe
the the the cold hard truth is throwing more power at this chip just doesn't
really do anything I mean it's extremely efficient both of these chips have tdps
of 91 Watts so not a whole lot of power
and uh let's go let's go back to the so the core i56600k this is another change
this generation um is that Intel has really not gotten very aggressive with
their Core i5 it's clocked significantly lower it looks like about 78 of the
speed of the core i7 at 3.5 GHz base
although this one features a more aggressive boost up to 3.9 GHz so it's
got slightly less cache 6 versus 8 Megs of level three cache and no
hyperthreading compared to the core i7 which means that my video Let's see if I
can find it versus I5 let's go ahead and
uh yes leave this page I guess my video
cor I3 versus core I 5 versus core i7
still is very much accurate a full what
is it wow it's been over a year since I
made it where I talked about the difference between a core i5 and a core i7 being hyperthreading and blippity
bopity etc etc so good on Intel for not
changing too much and keeping my videos relevant someone benefited both of these
chips will not ship with a stock cooler this is a move that has is creating some
controversy now to put this in the proper perspective guys
even though the Intel stock cooler is kind of unexceptional I mean you're not
going to be doing any overclocking with it it is functional but it does come
with a cost so if Intel's assumption is okay well people buying a K series chip
are probably overclocking maybe they're right to
remove it but we've got uh people who are unhappy with the move saying well
hold on a second I mean it was handy if nothing else I was able to test my
system it's really quick to install so you're able to test your system make
sure it's working before you go and install a complicated you know water
cooling setup or whatever else only to discover that something is is broken
down the line and you know they're just
it doesn't seem like that much to ask for Intel to spend the you know $7 or
whatever the the bomb cost is on a cooler like that to include it in the
Box um I'd love to hear from you guys let's go ahead and straw pull this uh
the thing to note guys is that only the K chips seem to be affected by this so
should you just Pony up for a cooler if
you have a k chip because the thing to bear in mind is that there's pretty much
always a just about equivalent nonk chip
that's sometimes clocked a little bit lower that is a little bit cheaper and
will include a box cooler so let me just
get this uh get this P there's no one to stall for me while I'm trying to create
straw pools and stuff like that I've got a lot of people complaining about being banned in the chat guys we have a chat
moderation bought so the only way to not
get banned in the chat is to not be obnoxious in the chat that is pretty
much the way that it works so there you go we've got 62% of you saying that
folks should just be ponying up for a cooler if they're spending the extra in
the first place for a K series chip with only 22% of you being upset about it and
a whopping 20% of you voting for turnip
apparently those turnup shirts uh vote for turnup shirts have actually started
arriving so that's uh that's pretty good news I'm always glad to see people
posting me pictures on Twitter of them in their Linus Tech tip shirts very good
stuff good news well this is more good news cuz Intel's been doing this ever
since lga775 and 1366 now is there is no
update to the mounting socket so you could carry over you could carry over
something as old as what like a four or fiveyear old water block or CPU Cooler
if you still had one lying around that was compatible with LGA
1156 so you will have to make make no changes to your existing setup if you're
just upgrading which is another justification for Intel to just save
themselves a couple bucks on these CPUs since a lot of enthusiasts are the kinds
of people who are already going to have a cooler anyway that they're just going
to upgrade too um blah blah blah blah will be
identical yeah first motherboards etc etc etc um okay 100 series The 100 series
chipset does have some improvements as well so there's an increase to the DMI
chipset bus B with to 64 GB per second which should help with storage devices
that run off the PCI Express bus so things like m.2 or PCI Express ssds uh
the chipset Now features native support for the NVMe protocol so that's the
replacement for ahci that is optimized for Flash based
storage uh they're actually keeping so they just released these SKS this is a
really weird launch from Intel and they're keeping a lot of the information about what they actually changed
architecturally from Broadwell to Skylake private until August 18th this
is going to be kind of a funny period for lus Tech tips build guides over the
next little bit because due to the move I still haven't done my Broadwell based
build guide I've got a really cool idea for it I'm going to be doing like a desk
PC so I I I still don't actually know
architecturally um if the chip that I'm using for that build which is already
locked in with Intel is going to because it was supposed to be done before
Skylake launched um but I don't actually know if that Chip is going to make a
whole ton of sense for the rig that I have planned to build around it and then I'll actually have a separate build
coming for Skylake that's going to be an Enthusiast grade one and like a really
cool case and all that kind of stuff so uh stay tuned for that guys I've got
another really cool piece of news so while NVIDIA not once but twice in the
last little bit has run off and changed
the overclocking policies for their mobile products on their uh Maxwell gpus
they've actually disabled overclocking a couple times I think they claimed the second time it was by accident or
something long like something like that uh oh yeah the op for the last article
was tisk and this one is Good Bites
Intel has promised unlocked
overclockable Skylake mobile CPUs so
that is a gosh darn
it what is the what the crap is this no
I don't want a subscription I just want to see this thing thank you uh so here
this post from RS Technica says that Intel has committed to a full range of
Base clock overclocking and improved memory overclocking on their 2015
Skylake processor actually that's that's really cool so we're also going to have
an overclocking guide coming for Skylake and there's going to be some extra information for that um a lot of lot of
details about why it's important for Bas clock to be overclockable and sort other
things like uh storage to not scale with
it uh but they are also promising unlocked overclockable skyl CPUs for
laptops now okay I've said this before
in fact I said this very recently when the whole NVIDIA locking down
overclocking on their mobile gpus Scandal broke um where I kind of went
yeah I don't care um I've never really asked for overclocking on mobile CPUs or
gpus because my personal opinion you can take it with however many grains of salt
you want is that you just probably shouldn't do it the benefits of
overclocking are higher performance but
they come at a cost and that's higher power consumption sometimes
significantly higher power consumption and higher heat output neither of which
you want in a laptop now there may be exceptions and I've had people criticize
my stance on the whole well you shouldn't overclock your GPU and your
laptop anyway position I've had people criticize me over it because they go
well hey hold on a second what about like you know cevo shells that are
designed with coolers this big and you really legitimately could overclock it
safely okay there are very very few
exceptions but most people probably shouldn't be overclocking them but I'm
really interested to see what kind of designs come out of guys like Cleo or
ASUS or MSI where they're still really
sticking with that thick laptop form factor whether it's on a gt80 A gt72 or
a susus G 75x Series that we like so much around
here because they run so cool and run so quiet so so stay tuned for that guys
again we haven't really seen any any details um but we may have more info
after IDF 2015 later on this month this
is the first time we've seen an officially overclockable mobile CPU from
Intel even though they have done extreme Edition branded stuff
before uh this is great I mean this is such a this is such a crappy thing in
general that this news like hardly even
makes it noticeably more crappy in my
mind except that it just kind of is screwing over Apple for no logical
reason this is posted by hk5 and the original article here is
from torrent freak let's go ahead and pull this puppy up iTunes and this is
kind of a sensationalist headline we can expect this kind of one-sided uh
delivery of the news from sites like torrent freak me WR in the name um
iTunes is illegal under UK copyright law
now what they mean by that is that iTunes actually suggests when you use it
and enables you to rip the songs off of
your CDs and then store them in iTunes
for use on your personal music playing device I mean this is how this is how
iTunes and the iPod uh revolutionized Mobile Music at a time when you know I
was still carrying around a disman and a CD wallet remember CD wallets remember
when those were relevant wow I actually still have a couple of them I haven't
bought a new one in a long time I used to to I used to like stock up on CD
wallets you know very very different time anyway um the point is that iTunes
encourages and enables that behavior but
uh due to the due to the high court uh
s due to the UK High Court calling the
government's previous action to legalize copying for private use so the use by
yourself on other devices that you own
um as unlawful um after objections from music
groups it is now unlawful to make a
private copy of copyrighted works that you own without permission from the
copyright holder so that includes just
taking a CD and putting it on your mp3 player you can't even this is this is
this is great so this is something that I've been thinking about for a while and
I thought maybe we should popularize in some way but I I haven't really I
haven't really come up with any way to do it but I mean what if you what if you
had a a a
like what if you you know you you protested this kind of thing by taking
to social media and like what if people made videos of themselves ripping their
content so you know TV shows onto their
file servers that they can use to stream to their phones like I love air video
and emit I use them all the time I store
everything on my file server and then I can beam it to whatever device I want
wherever I want it's awesome what if you made a video of yourself just ripping
them and then shredding shredding the discs just being like look I don't
object to paying for media what I object to is being told how I can and cannot
use it because it's ridiculous it's ridiculous that you can't copy a song to
another format that they expect you to keep buying a new one every time an HD
DVD or a Blu-ray or whatever comes out with slightly higher definition anyway
you I'm probably preaching to the choir you guys are pretty Savvy folks um but
the point is that since iTunes the CD
ripping feature during install under the current law they are actively facilitating copyright infringement
meaning they could face significant claims for damages from artists and
labels I mean what a complicated relationship that is between Apple and
artists where they've got their own content delivery platforms on the one
side uh with iTunes and their new uh their new streaming service and then on
the other side they've got these same
folks that are potentially going to run after them for breaking copy write law
that makes no sense in the first place but is certainly beneficial to the folks
that sell physical media I mean what a
freaking what a freaking mess they got
going on over there anyway there you go guys I'd love to we should call it like
like like hash shredded or something because it's like Rip but shred like or
what if you did what if you actually ripped the media hashtag rip it or
something I don't know anyway seems like a cool idea but I'm not very Savvy when
it comes to hashtags and you know online protests and all that so I'm sure
someone can come up with a smarter way to implement that kind of thing I think
it would be awesome though all right uh
more awesome news actually this this looks potentially cool now I'm going to
I'm going to be like super I'm going to be super real talk with you guys for a
minute here oh crap I never actually posted that last link sorry about that
um here's the next one so this was originally posted in the Forum by oops I
went to the wrong dock uh by donate
donut donut natator donut nator that's
the kind of username that someone picks when they really have never said it out
loud to them do I mean donut Ator might be kind of funny because it's like it
would be like a past tense of eat you're the donut Ator like you ate a lot of
donuts or I don't know but donut nator I don't know if that makes a ton of sense
anyway the last uh the last keyboard that cherry that excuse me that Corsair
launch the strafe they sent it over to us for review and we kind of
went GE um there's not a lot for us to
say about this thing uh compared to the k70 which you know we already have a
whack ton of them in the office because we absolutely love that keyboard um like
what's the deal here because it didn't offer a significant price Improvement it
did offer more programmability which is kind of a big deal um full fully
reprogrammable with uh Corsair's utility
engine whatever Q software so so like
that's pretty cool but other than that they weren't really pushing the envelope in any way we didn't get a new case
switch to talk about so it makes it hard to do a review of a keyboard when you
don't have like some shiny new feature to talk about whether it's RGB lighting
or different form factor or whatever the case may be um now so when Corsair sent
me news about their upcoming their upcoming keyboard so this is off of
hexus here their upcoming keyboard I kind of
went yeah okay I don't know if we're GNA
review that and I had misunderstood the
original message because they said it's got a Cherry MX silent key switch I kind
of went okay so you put Reds on a keyboard uh that's exactly the same
thing that you've been doing since you first launched the k60 and the k90 I
mean that they had Reds on them this this is not new uh but no I I had
completely missed the point entirely there is a new Cherry MX key switch type
called Cherry MX silent they have actually redesigned the key switch to be
well they're saying silent and Cherry's pretty hardcore but they've designed it
to be quieter even though Reds and blacks are already quite quiet so what
are they going after here not just the tactile click that you hear on a brown
or a blue no no they want to eliminate the need for thirdparty products like
O-rings or dampening mats under the key
cap and make the actual entire motion
silent so I kind of went okay yes I do
want to see the keyboard so we will be getting one as soon as they're available
and this key switch will be available exclusively in Corsair keyboards for a
period of 6 months I believe the RGB exclusive was a year but neither Cherry
nor Corsair have ever confirmed that with me so I actually legitimately don't
don't know but um I mean the partnership between those companies it looks like
it's going well and I'm excited to see what a Cherry MX silent switch actually
ends up looking like so it'll be ailable in red and black variants which are both
linear switches so we're not going to get a clicky switch in a silent variant
think about that um so they're both linear variants but the only real
difference will be uh 45 Newtons versus 60 newtons of force
required did I say 16 hold on no no I think it's like C Newtons or something
whatever grams um BL I'm I'm actually
I'm not that okay I'm G to go off on a tangent
for a second here I get a fair is Harry moving wow it's like he's come
to life by Magic uh sorry anyway I've received a
number of complaints Lately from both users of the imperial system so usually
Americans and users of the metric system usually Europeans that I don't offer
translation from one measurement to another in my videos and and the reason
that I get complaints from both groups is I will frequently talk about length
in inches or feet and then I almost
never use um use Imperial for let me
think what do I almost never use Imperial for no I actually use Imperial
for length and Metric for length and then in terms of weight right I will
always use grams like I'll never use uh what is it I don't even remember ounces
ounces almost never use ounces I'll always use grams but I almost never use
kilograms I always use pounds so and the
reason for that is Canada is a metric country but because our neighbors to the
South so many of our Imports uh come from there both culturally and
physically uh still use the imperial system most of us here can think in
Imperial for a lot of things like all construction is done in Imperial here
and I don't know it's probably not the case in Europe I I I guess but I would
never call a piece of wood a like I
don't know what like a like a a a six CM
by like I don't know like five like what
two two would be like what three yeah see like a what like a 4 cm by like 8 cm
no it's a two it's a 2x4 it's a 2 INX 4 in piece of wood so um so yeah I I I
apologize for that the reason that I don't provide translations is because I
don't even think about it I just kind of inches are a very convenient unit
because it's it something that's an inch or two Ines would be like you know two
and a half CM or like 4 and2 cm like
it's it's not very good for just a rough quick approxim and the same thing for
feet um that's another thing right I'll use feet almost always and rarely meters
because feet are kind of they're they're
they're kind of more granular whereas centimeters are compared to inches are
too granular and meters are not granular enough I mean 1.7 m like what can we
just can we just say 5T uh so yeah I don't know like it's
funny I don't even know my weight in kilograms and my height in meters it's
just it's it's a Canadian thing all right let's move on to our next uh next
topic here this was posted on the Forum by
Jaws will they know he's stalling for time open up the original article on
for.com um news item so the original
article here is from fortune.com and it looks like Facebook has patented
technology that would allow creditors so money lenders to validate
your eligibility for a loan based on
your circle of friends now if this
sounds insane to you then let me remind
you that it wasn't that long ago we were talking about on this very show China's
intent to catalog their citizens and and
assign the social credit that would actually affect so so your your score
was influenced by all kinds of things like the activities that you
participated in uh the friends that you had um whether you uh lived at home
whether you were married all kinds all kinds of crazy stuff like that that
affected your ability to start a business get aan sound
familiar oh
so like I get it I get it this is really
useful information for a lender to have
uh because it might and it might even be
okay don't take this out of context okay it
might even be a good thing for some people because right now the lending
requirements feel kind of arbitrary sometimes lonus Media Group couldn't get
a loan for the mortgage for this
building okay could not get it until it had been in business for 2 years why
well nothing to do with my personal credit nothing to do with you know my
wife and business Partners Credit uh nothing to do with lus media groups you
know accounting nothing to do with our you know our sustainability as a company
it was because well then just the rules well what if we lived in a world
where you know responsible responsible people who you know try to do all the
right things well what if those people didn't have to wait 2 years wouldn't
that be wouldn't that be a good thing now I'm not saying that that's how this
tool if it ever exists would be used I'm
just saying that that kind of thing could feasibly be beneficial but
that doesn't make this any less scary and this is sort of the the the real me
talking not that this is the part that you can quote this is absolutely
terrifying because to me the government
monitoring all this crap is actually less scary than private companies having
access to all this data simply like like Facebook is going to be able to access
you know the the the essentially a like
a social credit score based on your friends and the activities you do on the
weekend and the the things maybe you post pictures of yourself spending money
frivolously maybe that affects your ability to get a credit card like I
don't I don't know why does Facebook why does Facebook have this data and why why
is Facebook compiling it in order to provide it to the companies who are you
know and remember guys your credit score affects a lot more than just taking out
a mortgage I mean it can affect your ability to uh sign up for uh cell phone
plan like there's all kinds of companies that are going to want access to your
credit data and are potentially I'm assuming they would they would pay uh
they would pay Facebook for access to this but I'm it's actually not clear
exactly how that would work so to be clear this technology doesn't exist
today Facebook has filed a patent it is UN it is uncertain whether they will
ever do anything with the technology who knows maybe they're patenting it so that
they can hold on to that patent and make sure no one ever uses it although I
really I think I'm giving Mark Zuckerberg too much too much credit I
don't think he's exactly that sort of White Knight but who knows maybe benefit
of the doubt um but uh there there you
go I mean to be clear and another thing that's really important to note guys is
this isn't new you know it's not like this is the first time that someone has
tried to take something other than a a financial history to determine the
eligibility of someone for alone because again young people this is where I could
see it being both beneficial and extremely harmful Young people don't
necessarily have a lot of a lot of traditional credit score built up I mean
that was one of the reasons that uh before I was old enough I I think I was
16 when I got my first credit card um
and I got a limit of $500 which and I was a fiscally responsible teenager like
I had a lot more than $500 in the bank so even if I and this this another thing
I don't really understand how people overspend on their credit cards tracking
your receipts really isn't that complicated uh anyway um so even if I
did overspend on my credit card I had the money in the bank to pay it I have
never paid credit card interest in my life um but I got a credit card when I
was 16 because my understanding was that
it was important to use it and pay it off promptly in order to build up your
credit score same thing with you know my cell phone like you actually have to
think about when you're too young to really be considering crap like that I
mean you're not ready to buy a house or whatever uh but you have to really think
about establishing a credit history for yourself early on and a lot of people
don't do that I totally get it so this could be beneficial for them if they are
otherwise responsible people um but there there's a lot of downsides too I
mean one concern that was brought up in the article is that it could make it much easier for predatory lenders to
reach vulnerable people so you know you want to talk about that South Park
episode about how uh pay to win games freemium games really Target the the
people with gambling essentially gambling addictions and that tiny
percentage of the customers makes up that massive percent of the revenue I
mean this could be a way for for lenders to try and find excuses to lend to
people who they know won't be able to pay back in time um and are just going
to have to pay you know massive interest on whatever it is they're doing oh the a
sorry there's a glass door between here and the editing den and Ed was gesturing
emphatically he's casting spells on me now but he was gesturing and conversing
with Brandon and it turns out that he wasn't looking at me at all so I will
treat this opportunity as one to talk about our sponsors today squarespace.com
offer code Linus to save 10% what would you save 10% on well that is a fantastic
question it would be on a website that you are why are you taking pictures of
me Ed that guy it would be to build a
website whether it's for your portfolio or a blog or whether it' be to create
like a little store for knickknacks like Luke's mom created or whether it's to
create your company website let's go ahead and fire out up Linus Medi
group.com I always love bringing up this site on the show because it really
doesn't matter how hard you guys hit it because it's hosted on Squarespace with
their scalable hosting service and all that kind of cool stuff why is our team
separate from contact I don't know anyway the point is that because it's
hosted on Squarespace it's super responsive it's super awesome you can
read all about our team you can don't use this contact email that's really
really funny story uh I I went and I looked at that email account once cuz I
had completely forgotten it even existed and I was like
whoa nope alt
have4 like guys the way to reach me is
tweet me and if I don't see it then that means I was too busy I'm sorry it's just
it's gotten to the point there was a time like 3 four years ago when I tried
to respond to every single message I got and I pretty much did it is not doable
anymore I simply can't I respond to things when I when I have time um but
yeah squarespace.com you can make a great site for yourself and it's
affordable and if you uh if you buy 12 months at a time then they will actually
throw in a free domain and you can save 10% if you use offer code line is when
you're setting it up the tools are easy to use the templates are beautiful and
responsive so they'll work on a cell phone laptop TV whatever the case may be
you could probably even put a Squarespace site on a billboard if you
really wanted to and uh yeah they're also they're also great guys I think
they have officially locked in to sponsor us at CES this year so you'll be
hearing about Squarespace the best darn
online website creation tool and uh you
know maybe we'll find a way to drop you know something Squarespace on everything
or something along those lines oh yeah another quick thing that's actually
related to our Squarespace site is I have finally updated the address of
Linus Media Group so those of you who are wondering where the garage sale will
be um we'll no longer need to wonder about that our other sponsor today is
linda.com visit linda.com wow to learn
now and for the next 10 days yes you can
learn it all kinds of things they've got you know whether it's photography tips I
shouldn't even call it tips cuz it's more like lessons like they've got
industry experts that are creating these video lessons for you you can go ahead
you can create courses you can watch playlists of other people's courses that
they recommend going through and and I realized I only said one of the things
you can learn so you can learn business skills like office applications um you
can learn uh video editing you can learn Photoshop all kinds of great stuff on
there and the plans are affordable starting at $25 a month but this is
great the 10day free trial is all you can eat so you can find out if
Squarespace is right for you before you
commit um there was something else I was supposed to say oh yeah right and they
now have the feat have a feature where you can download and watch offline so if
you're someone who you know wants to download on your wireless network at
home and then watch on the bus you no longer have to use your mobile data for
that stuff so that's a that's a pretty cool feature so that's linda.com wow for
a 10day free trial so let's go ahead and move on to I
could really use some I could really use some water maybe I'll maybe I'll message
someone because I like dying here
Brandon doesn't seem to be doing any actual work right now he's just wandering around anyway so can I get
water please thanks in my decorated cup
please we'll see if he even gets this that guy man drives me crazy oh oh I
have a I have kind of a okay I am going to get distracted by one topic today I
have kind of a kind of a cool a cool update I have been looking into off-site
backup for some time cloud-based storage
is freaking expensive especially when
the server that I'm looking to back up nightly is a 20 terab server I mean I'm
not even talking bandwidth cost they want so much money to put 20 terabytes
in the cloud it's like well this you know server boxes from blah blah blah I
don't care you know how much a freaking raid card costs you know how much a
license for an operating system costs you know how much it would cost me to
put like a free Nas box somewhere can somebody for the love of all that is
good please just rent me some Rackspace for a reasonable price and I'll put my
own server there I I actually this is like the
first time that I've heard myself saying this but I love our new ISP I love our
internet service provider here uh it turns out that they were they were
willing to I I talked to them about this they were willing to let us put one of
our servers in their data center that is
here in BC but physically far enough away that if there was an earthquake or
natural disaster we would be spared from it um so they they're going to allow us
they're just going to charge us a very reasonable monthly rate per U that we
take up in their rack plus power and I don't believe there's any additional
cost for data and we can put an off-site server that will actually appear to all
of our local computers as though it's on the local network so I am super stoked
on that and that is uh that is a a small new office update there's actually going
to be fewer new office Vlogs over the next little bit we are finally getting
the real content rolling so we've got yesterday we did window 10 versus 8
versus 7 gaming performance uh today we filmed uh final Mouse review as well as
uh what else is coming on vessel in the next little bit here um oh yes this
one's going to be good is 4K worth it
and I'm not talking a hardware upgrade I'm talking online video um then I think
there's a moving Vlog coming Monday on vessel and then next week I'm going to
be jumping into Pebble time our Skylake sample I think arrived today but it at
my house so I'm going to have to double check um the S6 active review is finally
coming I've been using that thing forever so we are getting finally back
to our to our regularly scheduled content you guys will just have to have
to bear with us for a little bit here
now oh I just realized something oops
oops there we go I haven't had my lower third in my
little My Little W show floaty see-through thing see it's see-through
you can see my hand through it uh for this entire show oops all right let's
move on this is this is freaking hilarious I love this um so Best Buy
posted a deal uh where if you buy an LG G4 at
Best Buy excuse me a buy or lease an LG G4 at Best Buy and you can
get a 24in TV free of charge uh this was
posted by top war gamer on the Forum and this thing is brutal like it is the
worst thing ever basically I mean first
of all can you really call 24 in a TV
anymore I mean what what what is this like the late '90s you know when you
could actually buy a 21in TV because CRT TVs were like kind of huge and bulky and
not to mention still expensive and stuff this TV is 720p so it is basically
obsolete before the first you know uh
engineering drawings were ever made of what it was going to look like and uh
the offer is is valid from August 2nd to
August 8th so get on this now activate
an LG G4 get pretty much the worst TV
ever for nothing apparently it normally retails for $149.99 and what I want to
know is how they get off charging 149.99 for that I mean let's let's go on a site
like uh like Newegg and find out what a 24in monitor is going to run
us actually rarely actually shop for
things because of of my job so it's uh
so for for okay this is this is good so for a mere $20 more we could actually
get 1080p which would make it not a
completely irrelevant and horrible product nope for 10 for $10 more we
could get we could get 10 NOP for exactly the same price we can get a
1080p display so I think it's very deceptive
to call the Val of that particular TV $150 but if you were planning to get a
G4 anyway then I did want to bring your attention to it if you happen to be in
the US and you're not locked in in terms of the carrier you can get Verizon AT&T
or Sprint versions of the G4 so those of
you on uh on UNC carriers are are a
little bit out of luck but uh that's that's pretty much that's pretty much it
I mean I guess there are other carriers in the States but uh the big three The
Big Three are covered project quantum
this is posted by HK 05 look at all this Tech news this week it's almost like
this is a tech news show with Harry Potter
um H I don't know what it is I think my
uh I think my laptop's a little unhappy you guys can probably hear that the fan
is going super loud but web pages are taking a little while to load and stuff
like that that normally isn't really the case like apparently some application
crashed or some crap something something Windows 10 home
something something whatever okay oh my
gosh I maximized it that is not what I want no stop stop please um so this is
posted by HK 05 I'm going to go ahead and post the link over here but yeah web
pages are opening extremely extremely
slowly boop I'm not dropping frames though which is
good and yes I know there's some background noise you know what else the
background noise is caused by air conditioning so our air condition was
finally turned on yesterday and it is so
awesome because I just naturally get kind of warm when I'm working on yay air
conditioner what what what I said yay air conditioner oh yeah yay air
conditioner indeed like I naturally get warm when I'm working on computers and
when I'm like hosting a show like I just I tend to run kind of hot as a person
and when I'm doing that in a hot room it
is so brutal like I'll just sweat through everything it's it's it's awful
having AC is the most amazing thing ever
and we've got it we've got so many different zones of it that we could even
turn down the temperature in like the room where we're where we're doing W
show which will be less of an option in the winter it occurs to me now we might
just have to oh yeah we're not going to be filming inside the office forever
well I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts air conditioning is nice I don't
remember where I was going with this uh project Quantum may not actually reach
the market so if you guys recall project Quantum was like a a concept PC that AMD
showed off um that was like it was based
on actually based on Intel CPU it's really funny how AMD really dances
around the whole yeah you should buy our CPUs but like when we do benchmarks for
our reviewers guide we use Intel platforms and when we um you know design
a product that we might think people might actually want to buy we usually
use an Intel CPU in that too um so it has an Intel CPU unit thank you Brandon
you got my message uh see I have my water now uh uses Intel
CPU uses two Fury class um Fiji gpus so
effectively an R9 Fury X2 uh so it's got
a 4790k processor it's designed for 4K
Ultra HD gaming and an extraordinarily
small form factor so the idea is it's got like this you know external unit
here but it's actually still quite small and I guess my response to this is is
who is surprised I mean the the viability of a product like that like
the the the engineering that would go into Mass producing something like that
would be extraordinarily expensive like the only company I could think of that
might even begin to consider creating a product
like that would be someone like Razer where you look at what they did with laptops and they went okay we're going
to reinvent this we're going to make a MacBook Pro but with a GPU in it um and
I really don't see Razer doing this because they are already investing in
the Android gaming space so they think
the little gaming box is going to be Android based and this is not what uh
this is not what this is at all so it it came out of AMD's innovation lab they
did it just to demonstrate what can be done but the latest word on the street
is that um this and this is from Chief gaming scientist Richard hudy from AMD I
don't know whether we have an oem who is committed to building something like it
we built it as a concept PC so like concept cars it's not usually practical
to take it straight to Market that would make a great deal of sense but uh it's
not far from that um I would think that
if we have the right kind of conversations with some oems then we
might well turn it into a real product in that case it will probably be a very
small number maybe only one or at most a handful of PC manufacturers who would
bring it to Market potentially it's a custom piece not a high volume piece but
it is a thing of beauty speaking of things of beauty this
is actually looking pretty good good Samsung um you know they they really got
my attention with the S6 Edge and the Note 5 is looking like it's going to be
a pretty impressive little piece of Kit as well let's go ahead and pull this
puppy up here when I when I can doop
doop doop note five etc etc so this was originally posted on the Forum by six
god let's go ahead and drop that in the twitch chat Boop and the original
article is from Droid Life if I recall
correctly here is the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 they have
gotten their hands on it it is Big although if you were expecting anything
else out of a note series phone then you
probably had another thing coming in the first place and gives us a couple of
improvements that uh I don't know about you guys but I've been hoping to see for
some time so we've got a spring-loaded stylus you can actually see that in the
there we go they've actually got a couple of other shots here so you can see that in the bottom we've
got a spring-loaded stylus now the fit and finish of it looks absolutely
beautiful so gone is Aon is pretty much all the plastic it's very they're
probably not going to like me saying this but it's very iPhone esque looking
on the bottom I mean it's undeniably similar looking to the iPhone on the
bottom there I said the same thing about the S6 Edge um it'll be available in
3264 and 128 gig
configurations uh there is a screenshot showing their
um their Air Command so you can add things to it like Instagram or whatever
the case may be I've got a call from
someone who is not going to be relevant right now Wham thank you Smartwatch I
love you and it has a regular USB port
so they have done away with the whole uh USB 3 and have not even gone with usb3
type c so uh that's a bit of a disappointment I would have liked to see
a USB 3.0 type-c implementation just because the flash storage on phones is
getting fast enough that USB 2 is a significant bottleneck um but I'm really
glad that they did away with that USB 3.0 micr B connector cuz that thing is
the worst connector ever created in my
mind so there you go I think the actual unveiling is going to be next week at a
press event or something along those lines but it looks like uh now we pretty
much know everything we need to know about it 3,000 mAh battery also very
unimpressive I uh I recently switched back to the Droid Turbo since Brandon is
using the S6 active to do b-roll for the review of it and I got to say whenever
I'm reviewing a phone that doesn't have like a 3500 plus milliamp battery I
really really feel it I love having the flexibility to be you know 530 so most
of the way through my day with 70% of my battery life left if I got a you know
GPS all over the place not having to carry a battery bank with me is huge and
absolutely fantastic this is really funny
um here we go so there's there's actually two sort of related pieces of
news here number one wow I actually have a lot left to cover here holy smokes so
number one is that Microsoft is now giving up to 20 weeks of Parental leave
which is apparently a big deal in the
states so uh um yeah I I had no idea
because in Canada we actually get a year
per child now to be clear that's not a year fully paid that's actually a
government thing like it's an employment insurance thing um so it's it's capped
and it's like a percentage of your salary something something etc etc etc
but but we actually get a year of leave
so I kind of went 20 weeks so that doesn't that doesn't seem that great but
the good thing about it is that it is now with 100% pay so it's actually at
the discretion of a company so uh I know
that for my wife because she has a managerial position at Costco a
significant portion of her parental leave was actually topped up so the
company can contribute additionally to
what the government is already is already paying um so so like that's
that's something that I thought was pretty cool the fact that they now give
up to 12 weeks for a dad or an
additional 8 weeks for Mom so up to 20 weeks of fully paid leave and I had no
idea so I'm getting back to my point I had no idea this was such a big deal
because in Canada we get a year duh apparently in the states parental leave
is like horrible like you only get a little bit if if anything it at all and
the even in in Washington I think the law was something along the lines of
like you had to give like8 weeks or something like that and it was at the
employer's discretion if it was like paid at all or something along those
lines so uh I can tell you as someone who has had a couple of kids in the last
bit it is so important and so awesome
for for Mom to get to spend a ton of time with new baby when when they're
first born um you know especially if you want to if you want to breastfeed versus
Formula feeding and all that kind of stuff uh which has health benefits you
know antibodies and all that all that stuff um yeah anyway so not to be not to
be outdone uh also this week Netflix has
announced that their offering unlimited paid parental leave for a year
which I guess is another way of saying that you've got a year of Parental leave
leaves so um here we go federal law in
the US requires 12 weeks unpaid leave for parents so I was wrong it's 12 not8
and so this one is now available for both birth parents and adoptive parents
they'll earn their normal salary and is intended to help the company keep
valuable employees according to their talent officer or a talent officer it
allows parents to set their own work schedule letting them return on a full
or part-time basis and take leave as necessary during the first year so many
are spectacle about uh spectacle skeptical about the new plan's efficacy
as in competitive Industries like Tech employees are often looking for any
advantage they can get um but market
watch speculates and this is this is really interesting uh this was actually
posted by oh actually we don't have a forum source for this one so market
watch speculates that this could cause um oops where's the do well this
could cause new parents to take less time off than if they were given a set
amount of time because uh this was so
this was an internal study done by ernston Young that found that for every
10 extra hours of vacation time employees took advantage of their
performance rating from their bosses climbed 8% and that those who took
frequent vacations were less likely to leave the company but the reason for
this and so the reason for this might be something called work martyr Sy which
means that in competitive workplaces employees are looking for any leg up
they can get on their performance reviews so they think that it will look
good to their bosses if despite being given unlimited vacation time or whatever they actually take even fewer
days off very very interesting stuff like the whole psychology of of vacation
and time off and all of that all that good stuff uh we've got this is a really
interesting one Microsoft updated their terms of service on August 1st in uh
sort of a sort of sort of a scary in sort of a scary way I'm going to go
ahead and uh pop this link in the Forum so this was originally posted by The
Stranger although uh the stranger I think you uh You misspelled the you've
got it spelled te just saying I'm just kidding I know that's an intentional
spelling error uh this is post by the stranger and Windows 10 updates can now
disable pirated games and unauthorized Hardware so this went into
effect on the first of ox August and the terms are valid for everyone using
Microsoft services such as Office 365 oops I put up the wrong hand well
whatever I'm just going to have to put this away Office 365
outlook.com Xbox Live Skype one drive
Bing and MSN although software using a
Microsoft account is covered by the terms meaning that the terms also affect
most Windows 10 users and speaking of
you know maybe I'll rant about that a little bit a little bit later so um it
is unclear what the company means by
unauthorized Hardware peripheral devices maybe we're talking unlicensed game
controllers um maybe we're talking like Lord Lord Only Knows um but yeah we we
don't we don't really understand what exactly they're going to do with it but
they could prevent you from playing counterfeit games or using unauthorized
Hardware so back to back to the whole having to have an email to actually use
Windows 10 thing man is the way that they've implemented
this obnoxious let's go ahead and I'm going to just going to pull up the
control panel on my machine here I'm just going to close anything that uh
might be incriminating can my typing just work
please that'd be super awesome oh that's weird I straight up
don't know what's happening but I cannot type uhhuh
uhhuh okay well I guess I won't but the point is that the control panel when you
create a new user account for your for your computer you actually have to this
is this is great like they' they've hidden the ability to create a local
user account that is not tied to any kind of email account so well that I
suspect 99.9% of people out there are just going
to enter their email information you actually have to say when you create a
user account you have to click this person does not have an email address in
order to get to the menu that allows you to then get to another sort of weirdly
worded thing to click to create a local user account I I've been I've been up I
upgraded the uh uh the blade to Windows
10 I upgraded my desktop to Windows 10 and that is one of the things that
really really annoyed me what if I don't want to tie my email account to the
computer what if that is not what I want to do I still can but most people are
not going to think to click that the user doesn't have an email address
they're just going to think oh well there's no other way out I guess I just
have to enter this information uh speaking of no other way out I actually
did did figure out something something kind of cool so I'm going to go ahead
and share H hold on a
second uh okay so maybe I can add screen
capture I'll just share my screen with you guys here so we're going to have some video setion here so I did figure
out let's just put that away this so I
had said in in the video I released last night that I couldn't figure out how to
pin things down here it turns out it is super duper simple so that's pretty cool
I have so much crap in here and yet I don't think I can get rid of any of it
it's like scanning utilities and like
rapid storage technology like Chrome
synapse I was going to take synapse off and then I realized for a second I was
like oh I probably can't take synapse off it's like an actually a razor laptop
like the keyboard and touchpad probably need synapse drivers I yeah
but the reason I wanted to take it off ended up being a mistake anyway I thought that there was an issue that
synaps was causing with like Mouse legginess but that didn't end up being
the case and it totally resolved itself anyway um oh more more bad Windows 10
News uh Windows 10 Telemetry let's go ahead and pull up the RS Technica
article here so you guys should definitely check this out so they've
actually updated it a couple of days ago since I first looked at it with a few
more Windows 10 features that gather up your data and or behavior here and send
it back to Microsoft they also have some suggestions on how to disable them so by
clicking through Express settings which I have to confess I did because it never
used to be a problem all it did all it meant was that I had to like change bang
and Internet Explorer from being my default Ah that's another thing that
really annoys me about Windows 10 when you click make Chrome my default browser
it brings you to a menu where you then actually have to click and turn off edge
and make Chrome your default browser instead of just doing
it um so by clicking through the express settings during installation you allow
Windows 10 to gather up your contacts calendar details uh text and touch input
location data and a whole lot more it is sent to Microsoft so that it can be used
for personalization and targeted ads the easiest way to disable it is to turn
them off during the upgrade or installation process and there are
actually registry and Group Policy edits that are needed to disable all tracking
so yeah pretty cool uh there's a tool created by a Reddit user to disable
Windows 10 tracking with one click thank you Reddit user uh you guys can go ahead
and check that out I will go ahead and post this link here Bippity poity just
like that so guys if you're using Windows 10 um I'm actually not
personally endorsing that oneclick thing because I have no idea what that Reddit
user actually put in there but it seems that some people are reporting that it's
all good and that it helps and that that is a good thing I got another news
article for you here guys this is posted by Sam cool 55 let's go ahead and wait
for that page to load there we go post
that in the twitch chat all
right boy it is I really need a producer for this show I've had so this is so
funny I've had so many people contact me and tell me hey lonus you know what I
think would be a great idea for the W show you guys should have a producer to
like do the lower thirds and bring up the Articles and post the
and all that I'm like yeah uh that would
be great um sort of cost money and would involve
like completely rejiggering how the sort of the infrastructure of the show works
and and all that kind of stuff and yes it is the kind of thing that
professional shows have and we are very likely to introduce at some point
especially now that I can't believe we have almost 10,000 viewers again I don't
even have a co-host I I got I got I got Ary over here um we have almost 10,000
viewers again so I guess we're getting to the point where with 10,000 live viewers and like 150 to 200,000 archive
viewers we probably should invest in something like that I had never really
intended for WAN Show to to to grow like
this it was supposed to be I originally called it the live stream and I treated
it like Q&A and then it turned into this thing it got like a life of its own so
the original article here is from overclock.net and the activation of
cores in Hawaii Tonga and Fiji gpus is
apparently this is great is apparently something that requires a massive
disclaimer right at the
beginning so there's uh wow the versions
are rolling out extremely quickly here and I just want to say before you guys
use this I'm going to go ahead and oh yeah I know I posted a link to the thread in the form um before you guys
use this if you've already got a fully
unlocked chip something like a 290x don't run it there's nothing to
gain there's nothing to gain at all because all it does is it unlocks
shaders that were that were hidden away so if you have something like a 290 this
is something that has cropped up before 7950 uh we're being flashed way back in
the day to 797s um so it's only if you have hidden
ones it can unlock them and make them usable again but the thing that you guys
need to understand is the way that chip binning works is sometimes chips are
used for a lower grade product because they just have to fulfill the demand for
that product sometimes chips are used for a lower grade product because
they're broken well not broken they work but the parts that would have made it
qualify for a higher end product don't work like if Intel has a CPU that has
six Megs of cach versus 8 Megs of cash like I talked about with the Skylight K
processors some of those core i5s might
have fully functional cach maybe they just didn't reach like a you know a
power Target at at that frequency or whatever there's a lot of other reasons
a chip can fail other than not working out right they've got their power targets their uh heat targets whatever
ever the case may be maybe that cash Works maybe that's the thing that was
broken so by unlocking it you could potentially be unlocking broken stuff on
the chip so your mileage um may may may
may vary so there you
go ah this is good so this was posted by
13ca 350 and the original article here is
from wired.com I'm just going to go ahead and post the
I hate there's got to be an extension for this um I will try and find it after
the show but I hate the way that in
Google Docs it creates that stupid
google.com/ URL that goes on forever
thing instead of just allowing me to copy paste and like rightclick copy and
paste things directly I actually have to navigate to the stupid URL every time
um a 100,000 followers people are saying something
about 100,000 followers is that on Twitch oh I guess
that's on Twitch huh look at that we
have almost 100,000 followers on Twitch and I've only game streamed like a half
a dozen times in my life go figure researchers hacked a Model S but Tesla's
already released a patch thank you Tesla for treating this with the appropriate
amount of gravity and uh appropriate
expediency of your response and all of that good stuff so if you guys recall we
talked about the whole thing that happened with that jeep where it was
hacked wirelessly and Jeep's response was like well actually you guys probably
shouldn't be talking about this because now you're making like this information
public so other people could do it um so
please don't do that no no no no no Tesla has instead worked with uh looks
like who who was up to this this time yeah Mark Rogers and Kevin mafey um so
they executed the attack and Tesla has already worked with them on the six
vulnerabilities that were found in total they've developed fixes and addressed
all six through a Wireless update already so basically these guys were
able to control the vehicle through a laptop over a physical connection so not
even nearly as terrifying an exploit as that one that was done cellularly and
they were able to plant a remote access trojen on the model S network while they
had physical access then they were able to cut the engine remotely at a later
time they were also able to shut the car down at a low speed of 5
mph they discovered that the infotainment system was using an
out-of-date browser which contained a 4-year-old Apple webkit vulnerability so
theoretically if someone made a malicious web page and a Tesla's system
visited that page the site owner could gain access to the infotainment system
and control the car by taking advantage of a privilege escalation vulnerability
and gain additional access to the car's control although that wasn't tested um
so but either way it's it's they they they it's patched so there you go um so
yeah what what can we really say about this other than that good on you Tesla
for doing things the right way because if everyone kind of sat around and was
complacent and kind of went well if you don't fix the stuff then you know it's
not going to affect someone's buying decision I don't have to fix this stuff then we can just all not fix this stuff
it's good that someone is running out and getting competitive about it about
the security of their smart cars and I shouldn't say smart car because that's a
specific car but their connected cars
lordy what are we going to call these things uh of their of the of the
security of their connect see now I don't know what to call them cars let's
just call them cars because they pretty much all of the features now the security of their car someone's taking
it seriously and hopefully that just raises the bar in the industry and forces everyone to play
along more Windows 10 news this was posted by Ragnarok Dell on the Forum
let's go ahead and pull up the original article here from PC World
there are already More Steam users using
Windows 10 than there are any form of
Linux although this shouldn't be any surprise to anyone who has participated
in the Windows 10 upgrade experience because let me tell you it is pretty
darn seamless I had my laptop up and running everything working 100% within a
matter of like an hour or something like that so it was super duper no big deal
and awesome um and even for pirates I
actually validated this very recently even for pirates the upgrade process is
pretty darn seamless depending on how they pirated their Windows so I was just
like okay people are telling me it works let's find out if it
works okay it works very very
interesting so when you go ahead and you basically provide Windows for free
whether people paid for their old Windows or didn't pay for their old
Windows you've effectively just made Windows 10 free and that is that is some
pretty revolutionary stuff right there it is no surprise to me whatsoever that
people are jumping right on that
Biz so I think that's pretty much um I
guess that's pretty much it for the show today let me see do I have anything else
I'm sure there must be something PC World
article no I think that's that's pretty much it for the show guys oh no no
there's another there's another really little really little piece of news so
this is from the .c uh the Youtube 301 view freeze will
no longer be the case so this was posted by
cybernetic okay what whatever that username is now the reason that videos
would stop at 301 views in the past was
because YouTube was validating whether that video was actually getting views
really quickly like this is back when a video getting 300 views within the first
you know minute was a big deal now it now it's not now there's lots of users
that can rack up the views pretty quickly so they had to validate whether
the views were real or if they were coming from a a botn net or something to
artificially inflate that video and make it look like a big deal so it would hit
the front page or something like that and then get legitimate traffic that was a real strategy for a bit there not that
I ever did that um now they're doing
away with that so the 301 plus stall uh
will be will be taken away so as long as the views are validated views so the
validated views will come right away and the ambiguous one will be added later once uh Google has
ensured that they are
genuine um yeah I guess that's pretty
much that's pretty much it for this week so thank you for tuning into to the show
I hope you guys uh oh no okay no I do I

article is you don't need a crazy powerful PC to run Windows 10 uh someone
got it running on an AMD Athlon 64 3200
plus so that is a 12-year-old CPU with
256 megabytes of memory I mean anything
