right yeah good yes yeah yeah
weno awesome yeah part three wow part
three so we've got a bunch of great topics for you guys today what are we starting out with starting out with a
broken twitch page on your laptop we're
starting out with FCC approves net neutrality rules and Broadband is now a
utility and also Leonard nemoy has passed away at
83 um Intel is planning to drop silicon
after 10 nanometer so uh looking into
some other novel approaches to making microprocessors more powerful and more
efficient and YouTube 1 billion views
viewers excuse me more than 1 billion views we're talking like just sigh on
just one video um so more than one billion viewers no profits so we'll talk
about that a fair bit so let's jump right into the intro and then uh there
it is
hooray see that usually is
critical wow that's awful can we fire whoever did
this oh yeah you're going to Pax hey yeah so that's going to be pretty cool
yeah pretty excited for that yeah PA East this is your second year at PAX
East yep sweet I've had I've heard of a few actually interesting videos that
should be coming from there already which is exciting um it's nice knowing
that there will be anything at a show before I go to the show scary thing yeah
it's like all right we got to get content from this sounds like nothing is
being announced here okay cool all right that sounds like fun although sometimes
you get really good vide that way as well so I don't know apparently the
intro has no audio for these guys I don't know what the deal is with that CU
that was the same as last week it's working for us so I that's why I that's
why I didn't know that there's no sound in the intro that's kind of weird that
is weird well we'll we'll figure that out cuz yeah I can I can hear it and
usually when I can't hear it you guys can't hear it and when I can then uh you
guys can too so there's that um yeah oh
the right the sponsor shout outs for the intro so haha well of course there's
East so P East we're going to be powered by hyperx down there wouldn't be the
first time hyperx sponsored us to go to PAX East also M drop and xplit powering
the show today so why don't we jump right into our first topic here uh the
FCC approves net neutrality rules reclassifies Broadband as a utility and
then there are some other net neutrality updates and FCC rulings from the hearing
so uh Tom wheeler chairman of the FCC or
FCC chairman excuse me uh says the internet is simply too important to
allow Broadband providers to be the ones making the rules um the new rules
largely resemble the open internet rules that Obama laid out three months ago and
uh allegedly up until last week there was language in the FCC proposal that
could unintentionally allow internet service providers to charge for sending
content to Consumers so they've gone
ahead and uh you know patched up some of those little holes and what's going on I
think Google and a few other companies kind of jumped in there and were like
maybe change some things cuz giant loopholes um there there there's some
questioning here as we talked about on on the W show before actually it's kind
of weird that Tom wheeler flipped as much as he did um he was fairly adamant
before about this not really being a thing and now he's like raah raah this
is definitely a thing which is just weird weekly progress which is which is
when has the FCC ever moved that fast yeah um which like hopefully it's all
genuine and awesome and I would I would love to believe that it is um but it
just it makes me wary that there's something in there that no one's really
seen yet that allows them to do something that we don't want them to do yeah I mean there's lots of sort of I
mean it's not like there aren't plenty of things the FCC has done in the past that have been somewhat questionable I
mean the whole nipplegate thing was I was reading one article that brought
that up as uh you know do we really want these guys in charge of regulating
really much of anything um you know based on that you know we were dealing
with Fallout from that you know Years Years Later from that that Legendary
Super Bowl performance although not quite as legendary as left and right
shark or that or that dress that's been making the rounds on the internet I I
couldn't even believe how much every
single feed that people have into me was exploding with asking me what color and
I actually thought it was a joke I I I thought someone was trolling me so I I
looked it up did you looked it up I no I had it sent to me and I was like I I had
it sent to me from my girlfriend so I thought it was an actual question and
like she was shopping for the dress so I answered as if it was an actual question
and then like minutes later got bombarded by everyone else and was like
what the heck and then I thought it was just an elaborate troll from her and
then realized eventually no this was like definitely a giant internet thing
and was like wow the funny thing about it is that image is not any more
exceptional than any other the images out there where if you look at a white
background it's X color and if you look at a dark background then it's y color
it's actually in my opinion less exceptional than a lot of them yeah like
some of them are like really like mind screwy like awesome that one is like no
it was taken under odd
light anyway
um uh so Tom Tom wheeler write another quote from him so no one whether
government or corporate should control access to the open internet there is no
more a plan to regulate the internet than the first amendment is a plan to
regulate Free Speech some people call this a secret plan to regulate the
internet that's nonsense uh that's that's a quote from him and that that
makes me even more scared when whenever anyone like points out like oh this is
definitely not a secret plan it's just like well the thing though is that
that's been about the only sort of somewhat valid sounding criticism that
anti-et neutrality supporters have been able to throw at them like oh well
there's this document that uh is like really big and I wish I could tell you
guys what's in it cuz it's like really bad and uh you know yeah it's like super
bad but you know whatever I guess you could just go with the flow here which
is so so sketchy Verizon is apparently salty as hell um and Verizon's like
trying to throw back as much as they can but at this point
um changing a platform that has been so successful should be done if at all
only after careful policy analysis full transparency and by the legislature
which is constitutionally charged with determining policy I mean a big part of
the problem though is that uh American
policy makers government officials are literally sending literally just
signing letters that are written by isps
so it's like no point in them actually existing anymore yeah all right NVIDIA's
CEO and president on the GTX X 970 and I promise this is the last time we're
going to discuss the gtx970 on this show
um oh we never right we never said who posted the last thing I got all thrown
off by problems so that was posted by Victoria Secret did you post the link in
the chat I did actually awesome all right so let's go ahead and fire up
blogs. NVIDIA.com so Jensen has addressed it directly now um oh I don't
even I don't I don't even have an HDMI cable awesome is the capture card at
least here probably not probably not it
is oh it is the capture card is here
right cuz we used the other one the other one yeah the higher the better
more better one yeah ow oh you guys
should see what he's doing right now it's actually kind of impressive
especially after uh certain last night
activities after what certain last night
activities right yeah that was fun that was actually a lot of fun that was like
the most fun that I've had in an empty uh abandoned building yeah I can
probably agree with that very long time yeah although it's not abandoned okay
not abandoned I guess if we're there it's not abandoned yeah so so there's
that all right let's go ahead and uh see if my screen sharing is wow look at that
it just worked oh goodness oh did you know that your Norton requires
registration oh wow okay you should get on that and your computer is possibly
under attack for the next 10 minutes on the W show lius registering Norton
Internet Security congratulations oh wow you made a great
decision let's have okay I'm done with
this joke all right and it's over so here's here's the letter so basically
Jensen says look we we made the 970 as
good as we could make it we we think it's a great card we think you think
it's a great card um we screwed up won't
happen again we're sorry
so yeah um one interesting point that uh
we talked about on the W show last week and I had um uh Luca P message me about
was someone was saying that oh well hold on a second cuz that memory on the
gtx970 that that last slower 500 Megs is
actually not even as fast as system memory in many cases if you have a quad
Channel configuration or high-speed memory and I kind of went oh yeah good
point but what I didn't think about at the time was that your system memory's
ability to work as Graphics memory is still going to be limited by PCI Express
so you're still better off having that memory on the card even if it's slower
than your system memory um is able to communicate with your CPU because you're
going to be limited by PCIe so I was like oh yeah that's right I completely
what do you want Nick I have an HDMI cable they're just
trolling you at this point yeah they are just trolling you actually
I'm sorry Nick you're being trolled no I'm trying to be helpful not
by me no no we we have an HDMI C we fixed it like a while ago yeah like if
people are telling you to get us an HDMI cable they're like trolling you hard
yeah bye Nick thanks for trying to help
Nick um your appreciated employee of the company the last article was posted by
hitsu one on the Forum and this one was posted by cryon on the Forum so I'm
going to go ahead and pull this up there's any number of of different
sources on this I mean everybody is talking about this right now it broke
what about 6 or seven hours ago that Leonard neoy has passed away at 83 um he
announced his condition about a year ago attributed it to years of smoking even
though he hasn't smoked in 30 years
um but yeah there's just there's
honestly it was it was really fun I read a variety of Articles it's you can't
really get so everyone has a bit of a different spin on on sort of his life
and what it me and and what he accomplished and so I I found myself
just kind of reading for about you know 20 minutes 30 minutes and it's it's
actually amazing how people can be can
be kind of crammed into this box it's
like yeah he was Spock when actually he
did so much more than just play SP
whether it was stuff that was well regarded like voice acting or stuff that
was um universally pissed on like his singing um and spoken word it's his
singing was great so so it's it's it's just I don't know it's just it's it's uh
it's it's really interesting how it takes someone it takes someone passing
away to really have a look at what they meant as an as an artist and as a human
being um and he seems like it seems like
as much as he got sort of shoehorned into just being Spock forever um he
didn't seem to mind it that much I me you look at the titles of the autobiographies you you look at at um
someone music some uh someone left a really good quote that uh that was from
him that was uh I'm not SP but if I was going to be anyone but myself then I
that's who I would be something along those lines so thought that was really
cool um yeah I mean other than my honestly uh
I was never like a huge Trey just because we didn't have a ton of TV when
I was growing up did you even have a TV we usually had a TV that CRT that I
still own right that was like I had that TV when I was growing up okay I'm just
did you have a service for it not always
right um so yeah I didn't watch a ton of it but one thing that really resonates
for me with Leonard nemoy is the narration of civilization 4 oh yeah that
was awesome so like thousands of hours of my life have been narrated by him
right and because I like the narration of that game so much that's one of the
few games of that style that I would never listen to music over time top of
right and like I wouldn't watch Netflix at the same time or anything I would
actually just listen to the narration cuz I liked it and like it's part of the
reason why I struggle to really go to Civ 5 as much even though it's like a
better game in my opinion with all the expansions I'll still go back and play Civ 4 sometimes just because I like the
narration so much more so yeah I don't
know that kind of sucks a lot I play a lot of Civ
so yeah um for our next topic uh some of
you probably a large number of you very likely noticed that we uh we posted an
Instagram picture last night of our new
office space so um I've got a little bit
of video that will serve as kind of a a teaser For an upcoming Channel Super Fun
video we're hoping to have this released uh hopefully sometime next week so let's
go ahead and go over to Linus's screen here but um this is this is it this is
the new space this is is
burkel being Burl yeah skateboarding
around and uh yeah having fun being a construction
worker for some reason he he does do
things I'm sure he's talking I I can't I can't hear him I'm going to mute that
just in case it's like crazy Lou or being obscene or you know whatever else
there's tan being tan these guys are quite the characters anyway so um I've
had quite a number of people request a new office tour already and as you can
see there is not a whole lot to tour
some some people in the chat are already like what office that's a warehouse yes
that is a warehouse uh and that's basically all it does right now yeah um
the oh man the sound in there the Acoustics in there super bad horrendous
uh just for fun we uh Luke you were the one with the stopwatch right yeah yeah
so we had Burl dropped his skateboard from like head height and then Luke
timed it for how long it took for the the bang to to dissipate how long did it
take 7 and A2 seconds 7 and 1/2 seconds
that is how much so bad yeah I got
people asking where's the kitchen well the kitchen uh will not be there well
technically there will be a little like kitchenet thing where there's like
somewhere to warm up your Hot Pockets but it's not going to be a house so
there isn't going to be a we should try to get sponsored by Mountain Dew and Hot
Pockets that'll be so epic and Doritos yeah just because no no no old school
just Hot Pockets just hot pockets and Mountain Dew yeah so like we can't have
any of the like new amazing exciting colors of Mountain Dew just n
classic crap pepperoni Hot Pockets very
nice yeah um got people asking if the server will still be in the bathroom uh
no no we are going to have we should just have like a fake toilet in the
server room just put a toilet in the server a bath just don't even like Plum
them or hook them up just like Plum them that should be the entire joke is they
should be plumbed and the water should be on at all times just in case yeah
yeah oh man that would be pretty fun um
got got people asking about acoustic Pham uh yes we are looking into a lot of
different options um I can tell you right now some of the stuff that's being
quoted is like not happening like uh if you guys paid any attention to the tip
starter campaign we raised somewhere between what was it around 32 to $35,000
I think so something along those lines I can check right now so for one of the
quotes that we got for um acoustic
treatment of the ceiling $36,000 uh one of the quotes we got for
acoustic treatment was
$60,000 um so for okay so first of all
for for those of you who were upset that we crowdfunded helping with the new
place that should put some perspective
on the amount of money that we raised in the amount of money that obviously
remains for us to pay for ourselves um but uh yeah we are not
going with that $60,000 option we've we've actually gotten a quote on a very
similar treatment for way less like a fraction of that but it is not the same
treatment but yeah yeah basically the same treatment actually is it yeah yeah
like one guy was just like fleecing us as far as I can tell or trying to I
think those other dudes are too it's like what a bunch of like computer dudes
okay 60 Grand the the bathroom movement change yeah I think I think that's BS I
think they're being buttheads too yeah so we're going to win some we're
going to lose some and at the end of the day we're going to have um it'll be um
an office space kind of where I was standing in that video that you guys saw
and then other than that it's going to be all room for for sets and for for
filming the stuff that we do now as well as some of the other cool ideas that we
have for the future yeah so there you go
are we are we going to tease what we actually did at all oh I think we should
yeah should I should I find like a clip or something like that yeah like don't
show too much but maybe just like a drag I watched all of it it's awesome all of
it's awesome yeah I don't know how they're going to make this short enough
this is not the drag at all is this going to have to be like like in
separate parts like honestly the leadup the
race and the thing is like every one of the races the whole thing is
interesting right all right this is the end of one
of them oh no it's not oh okay well that's a pretty good moment here let's
let's uh let's go ahead let's let's capture let's capture that moment for
the live viewers here hold on hold on hold on hold on I don't want to I don't
want to like spoil it all right so what
would you do if you were you know hanging out having a pizza party with a
bunch of your co-workers in an empty Warehouse well we came up with one idea
yeah right so there's uh there's going to be
a lot of moments like that so stay stay
stay tuned guys cuz this is going to be one heck of a Channel Super Fun video
I'm happy you didn't show the part right after that yeah I know that would have given away the outcome of uh that race
no no this is like nail nail biting like
we we can't reveal anything to you guys we're not going to tell you who made the semis we're not going to tell you how it
went down because it is like yeah it it was heat based like it it like came down
there was a losers bracket and like someone came out of the losers bracket
because that's fun and cool way to do things and like uh yeah it it was
actually pretty different styles of races I don't know if I can tease this
in enough like it's yeah do you think this will be better than Connect
4 and better than I think so better than shot callers I don't know if it'll be
better than sh Connect 4 had some great moments it did but this was epic the
entire time that was one thing that I liked about this that's why I said I don't know how you're supposed to cut it
down cuz like seriously I watched every single race over again and was like
enthralled the entire time for every race like I don't know you even
participated in a lot of I know I that's what I'm saying like even watching it
back was really cool um so I yeah I I
don't envy the editor is basically all I have to say because that's going to be
difficult we'll just do six parts every every racing heat can video
part but like six subp parts yeah part one part one B part one C and then just
end it like there is a reason that we did scrapyard Wars that way by the way
scrapyard Wars uh the Epic conclusion is coming out in uh wow about 31 hours so
uh hang on to your hang on to your seats guys because it is going to be I can
tell you this no matter who you were
rooting for and no matter what you expected you will be surprised probably
yeah by the outcome yeah and then um so
scrapyard Wars is coming out right so the reason that we numbered it 1 a 1B in
the first place is that scrapyard Wars is very much a long-term plan for us in
fact uh we are setting up like a dedicated
set in the new building where we're
going to have is that me oops uh where
we're going to have tools and we're going to have um like a workshop type
environment where we're going to be able to do much cooler scrapyard war or like
build log type stuff um we are really
really excited fun we even have more ideas which I won't tease too much right
now but like yeah that style of content will definitely continue to be a thing
yeah I mean we had we had people asking us you know hey are you guys going to do
more of these please do more of these the fact that the first one came out
titled 1A yeah more of them were already coming
we knew we were on to something we didn't know it was quite that good yeah
like we didn't know it was going to be that huge but you guys can definitely
expect some more like really cool more TV format style content
yeah yeah it's going to be uh it's going to be a crazy year hey it's going to be
interesting yeah it was kind of weird being in the office last night cuz like
the going from yeah cuz I still very
vividly remember freezing my ass off in the garage wearing your winter coat
while you worked upstairs benchmarking Titan for a week like it's it's a little
different now I was legitimately upstairs because there wasn't enough
room for me the G yeah I wasn't blaming you at all I'm just saying like this
this that was an exact scene that I remember you know what's funny is I would love to show Burl burkel and
Brandon were over at the warehouse with me today and uh I would love to show
Burl the way that I had our white box
set up cuz like honestly honestly like
we were were like they want every set like pointing into a corner like the
original layout that they gave me was going to take up like the entire thing
just for Wow green screen LT and the
workshop and I was just like that is four sets we have that many sets now in
a much smaller space let's rejigger this
so um so I was like we were kind of we
set aside places for some of the more permanent stuff like w show we're not
going to move it we want it to be very like cool looking in the background and
like have a kind of a theme to it the workshop obviously isn't going to move
cuz we should have people submit ideas for what the background could look like
for wo we could definitely do that we have someone helping us with the designs
and actually um she showed us a concept that it's Ester um my wife's sister n
from NC yeah so um she showed me some concepts for wo like with reclaimed
reclaimed wood for one side and then like I think some kind tin metal or
whatever yeah like metal or something for the other one and like some pretty
cool ideas Brandon and burkel were figuring out how to I had minor comments
on that just based on framing CU a lot of the stuff that she showed was actually of what would have been framing
for the show so we might be able to save money and then invest in better areas
and check with those guys about like exactly where it'll be but um but anyway
so we we kind of in between two set
places where they wanted to put something was like this flat wall and
like quite wide like 10 12 ft of flat
wall and I was like okay well why don't we put every all the permanent stuff
where it goes and then we'll any empty spaces we'll kind of classify them as
like a b or c where a would be like
Prime real estate like Optimal like Flagship content goes here and B would
be somewhere in between and C would be the worst and at this flat wall they're
like that's a C I'm like this is better
than anything we have now and they're just like yeah it's a
c okay then well
fine yeah I think I think he
probably yeah have have a little bit of an Awakening if he saw like like the
unboxing set in the garage which was
like my desk oh yeah where like he had
to like move and stop working whenever I had to film an unboxing which was fine
because at that time we were doing this ghetto uh dual camera setup feeding into
like a capture PC and then we were doing like a multicam thing in Premiere in
order to cut so one person was doing b-roll the entire time live and then the
other person was doing a roll the entire time live I still think that's a cool
concept and I still think something like that like could be really neat but
conventional camera operators would need to check their preconceptions at the
door in order to make something like that work
um I actually I I personally prefer
filming that way that's why I don't mind filming stuff like super fun is it seems
more natural for me right the the like kind of Run and Gun style like oh I got
to kind of get in there makes more sense to me the like we never learned to do it
properly when no exactly it's not right but it like it works and like I can make
sure that I have the right thing on camera and I can make sure that it's you'll be able to see it once it
actually gets blown up and whatnot but like it's not right at all that's fine
all right uh speaking of things that are not right at all um actually this is I
guess it seems fine this was posted by clock 8003 on the Forum and and Pebble
has the kickstarter up for the Oh for crying out loud is
that let what is it doing something
about the audio devices like I think it's the it's like the creative driver
or something like that on this laptop makes it spazz out every time I every
time I switch to it it gets confused about audio devices I think I'm just
going to remove that remove that driver I usually do anyways to be honest yeah I
can't see any reason why I need some creative control p
on my computer to make my life more difficult yeah um there it is okay yeah
so every time this sound blaster thing comes up Pebble time awesome Smartwatch
no compromises has raised 11 million
from 51,000 backers on Kickstarter since it
went up uh this went up what a couple days ago something like that y um so
it's going to have a color eaper display this time with the same s same battery
life Target so they figure around seven days of battery life so I'll probably
get like four four to five I'm a bit of a heavy user um it's got a more
ergonomic curved design uh they've redone the software so old apps will
still work but the way you access the apps is a little bit different and the
way you access your notifications and messages is a little different everything is time based which is
actually both like pretentious and also
really cool and logical like it's like oh yeah okay so you kind of go down to
see the future up to see the past and then whatever's present is is there
right now I'm like oh that actually is a really smart way to see what's coming
next and you know what I just missed and all that kind of stuff that actually
feels more you know how material design is supposed to be like kind of papers on
your desk yeah the Future Past Time based thing actually kind of feels more
natural than that absolutely so three colors available exclusively on
Kickstarter I got to imagine Kickstarter is like throwing a whack of cash at them
versus the other way around to run this campaign because there's absolutely no
reason for them to Kickstarter this other than just creating that Splash and
maybe helping hype Kickstarter I mean they they say right in their campaign
video compared to last time yeah it's
pretty much done all we need is your support so all they need is orders yeah
they could have just launched it it's they're they're a pretty big company now
they said they sold they've sold 100 million Pebbles so even at an average
sell price of let's say $14 9 so or
let's say let's even say 140 that's still going to be $140 million of
Revenue in the short couple of years that they've existed they're doing all right over there yeah so um yeah I I
would I'm going to try and get a review unit no I didn't order one through the kickstarter I'm uh I'm I'm sort of I'm
sort of annoyed with them because my last ordering experience was so terrible
and um with Pebble yeah yeah yeah with Pebble so I figured this time around if
they want to see me a unit review it if they don't then forget it right um cuz
honestly it doesn't look that revolutionary like the animations on
screen look nicer they've obviously beefed up the processor it's a color
screen which is something that I've been asking for for a while that's a that's a
big improvement over the previous ones to me um I didn't see anything about the
DPI of the screen like I don't know if it's actually going to be higher
resolution based on that they are promising backwards compatibility with
all the existing apps I would probably guess no but some of the does this not
have like a metal band option not sure it's possible it'll end
up with one it definitely has replaceable bands yeah so actually it's
funny you can see the thing that we're yeah you can see that this my screen
sharing is not working again which is
awesome so let's go ahead hello yeah
it's just us in a black screen there we go there you go so you guys can see how
easy it is to change it over looks like they've changed their charging mechanism
yet again um something that was a real frustration for me with the Pebble Steel and I
understand that they improved it I just wish they would kind of do it right in
the first place at some point here because it means that I'm getting a new
set of charging cables every single time I upgrade my
Pebble um yeah I don't know I guess that's all I really have to say about it
I still don't think I'm fully ready for a smartwatch really I'm still waiting
for some more Vis Visions I think right I don't know I I really like it I've
gotten very accustomed to it I think they're getting close but I'm still waiting for a little bit more gatr is my
daily driver um Android Weare definitely still has some quirks but I I do I do
really like it um one bad news about the
uh about the the new Pebble time well
just Pebble in general and this was posted by actually the last one was
posted by oh I already said that this one was posted by rafy on the Forum ra
rafy but uh Microsoft was in talks with Pebble like one of the things that I
actually I personally complained about when I was uh using Windows phone for my
last attempt to switch to it with the HTC1 M8 Windows phone edition um one of
the things that I called out as specifically a big problem for me was
the terrible Pebble support like it could do some things but like basic
stuff like incoming calls was not working and uh so we've got a little bit
more insight into what happened there there's a good article on Windows
central.com did you post this in the chat already yeah all right let's go
ahead and pull this up oh okay this is not the right thing
that's frustrating we have like uh we've
already fixed that I worked we worked on it today oh okay we've fixed it won't be
like this in future docks ah okay all
right so there's here's the article on Windows central.com Pebble Microsoft and
what could have been with Windows phone so Microsoft was in talks with Pebble um
Pebble basically said well if you guys
completely make the app yourselves then
uh okay and then uh Pebbles Pebbles CEO
stepped in when the app was done so it had been in development for months
basically done it it didn't have the store integration yet that's no store
integration but they had a plan to integrate Cortana which would have been
super cool Pebble time has a microphone now so having Cortana support on the
wristwatch would have been definitely an improvement over um yeah that would have
been nice over the third party support that Apple and Google are giving to
someone like like Pebble especially given that they each have their own
Smartwatch platforms now like it to me from from a business standpoint I would
be looking at the partner that is aligning with me more closely versus
just sort of um your personal distaste
for Microsoft and their mobile OS have we have we mentioned that he yeah you
said he veed against it allegedly the reason yeah allegedly the reason so who
knows uh I don't want to put too much on him but it is a little frustrating that
uh allegedly the reason is that he has a personal distaste for Microsoft and
their mobile OS it's like okay well you're not helping things at all yeah
it's not it's not like it can get better I mean the the biggest complaint that I
had about about Windows phone and a lot of people were upset that I gave it such
a Negative review and the negative review had nothing to do with how good
of a a baseline operating system it is
or you know how Windows Live tiles are very beautiful and all these things it
was because as a user trying to like do
things in my day it's not useful because
the third party app support is terrible and I cited specific examples people
like well I don't have a drop cam I don't care if you have a drop cam the
point is when I go to the store and I
pick something up off a shelf I would like for it to work without me changing
my phone I'm going to pick a phone platform that I expect to get some kind
of support but with with like Pebble specifically stonewalling Microsoft how
is that ever going to change um so I feel for the Windows Phone users out
there and actually I I feel for Windows Phone users some more because um there
was there was another big for Windows Phone uh here it is yeah got it let's go
do you want to post this one in the for in the uh chat so this was posted by
Rude and the article here is from wiba beta.org
please work look at that it's like working all of a sudden so after after
Google partnership soft card will be shutting down their Android app as well
as their Windows Phone app so Windows phone already had a contactless pay
system um and Google has
basically absorbed soft card acquiring
patents and Technologies and um and
apparently the uh the the the right to to use them at all so there's no
particular date but there is an official statement that says it will be shutting
down all wallets will be terminated at some termination date which will be
provided soon apparently y brutal
Windows phone just got double slapped yep not good and like these are
all both the the problem is that both of these issues are the main issue with the
phone you need more app support and they just got slammed twice and it needs to
be just generally more useful yeah um speaking of being generally more useful
the HTC1 m n will hopefully be generally
more useful than the one I8 yay Segways
uh this was posted by KZ mens on the Forum um and actually it's a pretty good
post it's got some leaked what look like official HTC videos so the um every time
man I'm going to I'm going to yeah I know right HTC leaks every time yeah but
who doesn't I mean there were S6 leaks this week I know but didn't didn't they
uh like fire two people last time or
something if I recall correctly yes some some kid posted them online and then
both of his parents got fired or something something along those lines I think that's what supposedly happened
yeah um so here I'm going to go ahead
I'll yay hooray I wonder if there's a quicker
way to do this if while you're doing that refesh some people in the chat have
figured out what I've done with my shirts and some people are trying to
they don't really get it but it's black and
blue get it a get it
or wait is it golden white I don't do you know it's black and
blue or gold and white which one is it
what are you wearing can you tell what yeah I can tell jeez I don't know I got
to ask the whole internet cuz like I don't you know I
don't know under a different light maybe it's different maybe the colors change
based on the lighting or the background okay who knows right yeah we should ask
the whole internet see what they think maybe post it on
Facebook I just you know the the funny thing about you know internet meme crap
is that I know that if you know as soon
as stuff like this hits if we put our entire team in motion making some
ridiculous video oh yeah we could get a ton of views but I just I feel like I
feel like dirty i' feel like I'd like to believe I'm above that
like back when I think the first time I vetoed someone internally wanting to do
like some meme stupid video was Harlem Shake and I was just like we we did it
it never made it never saw the light of day no we filmed it but it never we
filmed like sort of a similar thing but
I was just like no and you know even you
know what I have a lot of respect for Freddy Wong a lot of respect for Freddy
Wong but making a video like every time
about how stupid the thing is is still doing it yeah you're jumping on the
exact same hype train you're just jumping on the other side it is the same
bandwagon and so I saw him do one recently that was kind of like that and
the reason that I thought of this was because I remember back when they did
Harlem Shake he they did a thing where someone walked in and shot the person
that was doing it or something like that right yeah so I was like so so you're
doing this more than once if you do it once where you're like yes we are above
this we're not going to acknowledge this it's stupid we should shoot those people
but we should go back and find like every like hardcore major meme in The
Last 5 Years and do one one video
destroying all of them and then just being like all right it's out of our
system we'll never do it again or if we are going to start hopping on those
bandwagons then we should do it properly and we should have like a channel for it
right like if we're just going to have a channel that's just like let's make make
really stupid videos have like a get like a crazy announcer voice and do it
like a movie trailer like in a world
where blue is white and black is gold I
don't remember how it's even supposed to go but I think the blue was gold but regardless
um how do you tell what people are
wearing how do you color coordinate when there is no such thing so some of you
probably noticed I was playing that 1 M9 maybe that's what isus was doing with
their golden motherboards they thought it was blue they didn't even know they
didn't mean to screw that up it's supposed to be blue ow just like all
their old ones it was us that was seeing
the motherboard improperly it's a blue motherboard are people egging you on in
twitch chat I'm not even looking at twitch chat they probably hate me right
now do it Luke I think they're behind a little bit yeah all right so the 1 M9
the chin bar is still present it now has a two-tone color scheme
uh the videos someone better get yeah someone's gonna do that the videos
showcase some new features uh it's going to come with Cent 7 it has some photo
editing stuff it has custom themes which
is like okay um one thing that's kind of neat is it has some location based
awareness so it'll show you different icons and food recommendations depending
on the location I mean there are after aftermarket launchers like av8 that
already do that um uh it includes clud an UltraPixel
front camera now for better low light apparently a 20 megapixel rear camera
they've abandoned Ultra pixels there and they're just going for yay back to the
megapixel race um you know they held out for two years that's pretty good uh blah
blah blah improved boom boom sound now with Doby surround and is set to
officially unveil at the M9 March 1st
press conference I have not been invited nor have I been offered a review unit so
I'm not sure if we're doing a review but what we'll definitely be doing a review
of a lot of people did unboxings of these I thought it was kind of amusing
but we don't really do unboxings on LT yet uh anymore anyway so I thought would
do it on the land show so it says start here for those of you who haven't seen
it and this is this is pretty cute so it comes with um one of those rebrandable
Kingston data traveler USB drives that
presumably has some press oh hey a 4 gig here you go cool actually useful so it
has USB 2 yeah presumably like a press deck on it or something
um and then this is this is C welcome to the new Moto E press conference today
we're doing something different you will probably have enough events in press
conferences to sit through next week I won't but I'm sure important people do
uh so we're bringing the launch directly to you experience the new Moto E the way
so start with your
badge except you didn't go to the conference no there isn't one oh
everyone gets this hold on oh so there isn't a
conference uh oh oh oh wow see so this
is the conference yeah so there they got the little Velvet Rope and then you you
got a something yeah here we go what
there's your seat and then there's the
presenter with the phone and uh some like features and stuff and then you
open this up oops you do you have to rip it no not
at all oh that sucks
wow and inside is the motoi so this is
the new second gen motoi 149 um specs
look pretty good actually it's got a quad core Snapdragon hoopy doop can't
remember uh 400 sounds right I'm going
to click this thing and it's hopefully going to take me to the right place yeah
Snapdragon 410 it's got a gig of RAM it's got a 960x 540 display 2390 mAh
battery it comes with Android 5 5.0 Lollipop and supports LTE now so it's
still kind of like it's um it's it's
just on the sort of thick side of kind
of feeling a little bit bulky also the fact that the Actually I don't even
think it's thicker than my Droid Turbo let me have a
look yeah oh yeah it is not by much but
but it is thicker and it's smaller so it does make it feel a little bit a little
bit boxier um um but the fact that the
materials are are less premium I think contributes more to the the weird
feeling this although it fits nicely in the hand so I'll say that about it 4 and
1 half inch screen if I haven't said that already so guys uh I will switch to
it now I've been putting it off because and I'm sure Motorola won't mind this
too much but because I like my other phone so much that it's hard for me to
switch to other ones these days I just hate switching phones and it's something
I have to do every time I do a review but I really like the droid turbo and I
really don't like not using it so um
yeah forgive me Motorola I will start my review I will work on it and then I will
review your your inexpensive cell phone and then I will switch back to the other
one I like it better review your inexpensive cell phone and then switch back to your expensive cell phone
yep that's funny um all right Lenovo CTO
hey look around we're not the only ones with crapware infections this is posted
by op code on the Forum uh Lenovo but as of two days later Lenovo promises
cleaner safer PCS so if you guys haven't been keeping up I'm going to pull up the
RS article here hopefully yep there it
is if you guys haven't been keeping up there was some uh ad wear um issues with
select Lenovo PCS that were shipped in about Q4 last year basically it allowed
um it allowed a it allowed your access to secure
websites to not be secure at all yeah so
this this adware app could basically see completely unencrypted information that
you were sending to https secured websites um because it
just had this backdoor nonsense that
holy crap how did this not get caught um
so yeah I mean at all is there a whole
lot for us to really say about this other than that no there there's some cool things that L noo is hopefully
doing they they said they're going to do so hopefully they actually follow
through but they're they're planning on and like maybe this won't be super helpful for everyone but it will be
super helpful for some people um they're planning on listing all included
software on the outside of the box so you'll know everything that's coming
with it which is not really a thing when you buy laptops so that is actually a
nice change um part of the problem that might suck with that is places like Best
Buy if you're buying it from there um aren't going to list that and you're not
going to see the Box you're not going to see the Box until it's at the till and I
don't know if this is a requirement for online retailers to actually list
everything so they might just not list it because I don't think it's
necessarily up to Len NOA what gets listed by the on online retailers um so
I don't know how much that'll actually change um hopefully it with that said
they've also committed to install Less blo on their machines less overall which
is great they're going to give people a sixth month subscription of
maffy to anyone who was affected by the
uh by the superfish software it's like y
thank you you let me or you could download Flash let me promptly not
install that and then get a free trial anyways but everyone unchecks that box
so what do you think is going to happen I don't know just say um so this is
posted by command man 7 on the Forum um
going to oh the last one was posted by op code did we see that I don't remember
okay uh so this is also an RS Technic uh post here Intel forges ahead to 10
nanometer will move away
at n yeah so they're trying to keep up with
Mo's law I mean it is he did work for Intel so it's like kind of you know
Intel you know kind of started this thing so it's kind of up to them to keep
it going um so they're looking at new materials they're looking at 3D
packaging so potentially stacking dieses on top of each other like we've seen
happen with nand flash quite recently um
and I'm not really sure what else there really is for us to say you know it's
exciting though because a lot of people have been talking about hitting the wall for a really long time so they're
they're doing what we have been saying for a long time which is change your
game up and the thing is that people that are not Intel uh have been saying
oh you know we're reaching this is going to be this is a hard wall we're we're coming up against a wall Intel is saying
no this is just a silicon wall we'll find a new wall we'll we'll we'll change
the game up we'll start stacking things we'll start kind of stacking things to
2.5d or whatever um or we'll change materials or we do something else very
cool so they're trying all kinds of different stuff they're looking into indium gallium aride as a replacement
but they're trying all kinds of other stuff graphine gallium nitride carbon
Nano tubes I mean that's a material that everyone in their dog was talking about
carbon Nano tubes like 5 years ago and like what has become of it we're still
talking about it well know we're still talking about the problem is creating uh
well not a ton of it's being used for necessarily this yet guess but the
problem is creating large structures with it is not is very very difficult y
so I'm excited to see all that talk about all the potential that carbon
nanot tubes have I'm excited to see that actually turn into something that I can
own and hold that's a big problem right now um so their planned indium Gallum
arsenide transistor is 22 NM in length
which might not sound that impressive um
but you know it's going to remember
they've had all this time to work on Silicon yeah they need more like research and development time
essentially so they can get used to working with it and whatnot then they can improve upon it from there so Indian
Gallum indium G indium gallium arsenide
ability to conduct electrons is about five times better than silicon boom uh
material is already widely used in fiber optic applications and in radar systems
um they're also looking into uh not only 3D packaging but also 2 and 1/2 D
packaging where separate dieses are placed side by side on an interposer um
all kinds of new and exciting stuff I uh
I I am this is super cool I I hope that we see like performance SKS I have to
okay on some level I have to I have to
believe that Intel still does want to improve single threaded performance so
if we had a new material that somehow allowed much greater clock speeds they
would give it to us um so I'm just going to kind of throw that out there but
that's yeah silicon's been a big issue for that for a long time so I guess
we'll see yeah Y and it's not like it's just Intel talking about it you know
NVIDIA is talking about how you know it's basically we're optimizing for you
know heat output and power consumption and you know performance is improving
and we're going to do that too but you know we're we're trying to go I mean I
think part of the problem is they've had to backtrack so much for so long it was
megahertz race and you know a Cuda cor
race and just the race to these ginormous you know hot power consuming
chips and it's taking a while to things back to back to more same levels cuz I
can tell you I mean you know in an office like here where we're running
more than one computer more than a couple hours a day it definitely helps
to have more power efficient machines even if that's not exciting on a
benchmark yeah yeah score and even if
you might necessarily not be paying for your power um oh man someone made a blue
and black HTC M9 very poorly but they made it wow oh what a golden white oh
it's a gift changes oh yeah
wow so anyway uh now seems like a good
opportunity to thank our sponsors so let's start with
um hold on I'm sure I want to start with something let's start with xplit yeah
we're big fans of xplit around here so it's funny I had I had some people say
on our last xplit spot so hold on a second what's the difference between us going to exit.com
and downloading the free broadcasting software versus going to exit.com Linus
and downloading the free broadcasting software
nothing it's still free go to the slash of Linus one though yeah you want to use
the Linus URL this is the URL you are looking for exactly thank you um so
basically for those of you who aren't aware of what xplit is it's what powers
our show it allows us to do things like
oh wow look at this wow we changed our lower third holy crap there was a
transition it allows us to you know manually select our bit rate change up
what servers were broadcasting to change up what audio Source we're pulling in
from because the default on the computer was a freaking webcam today and it was
the entire twitch chat exploded bad audio well we that was that was user
error I apologize to anyone from xplit who's watching this right now for the
bad quality of the beginning of this stream it had nothing to to do with you guys I had the wrong microphone
selected um so we should talk a little bit about their about the capabilities
so they powered countless live streams and recordings around the world they've
got a very powerful very robust piece of software I don't think we've had xplit
outright crash on us in well over a year like it's it's been extremely stable for
a very long time um and we absolutely
love it we both use it whenever we game stream and we both use it whenever we W
show because we do that together so that would be both of us using it um if
you're into game if you're into game streaming by the way gamecaster allows
you to change some of your stuff through an on-screen display rather than relying
on tabbing out of the game also the new xsplit V2 uh so their latest revision
has much better game detection than they had previously to the point where
instead of manually selecting a game and telling it to cast it I mean you've
found that it's been able to stream games that aren't even on their list right I have games that are like early
beta not released I got a game code from the developers games and it's Auto
detecting those properly which like I understand how it's doing that but it's
nice because you don't have to have all these crazy scenes set up and stuff you
just have one and you just move your webcam to a non-annoying place for the
game and then you're done yeah I also like how flexible it is like I'm even
able to stream like there's some pretty
broken stuff about streaming X-Wing I don't know if you know this but I'm on
like a 1440p display and the way that X
bling X Xing X bling X bling X the way
uh xwing Flying Like a G thing launches
is like if this is your screen it it like it does like a foo
full screen thing where the game is actually running like
here but it's like full screen so I use xplit to capture like that screen region
and then it like captures it fine but there there's a lot of it has a lot of
flexibility um speaking of a lot of flexibility Luke will be heading to PX
East uh um so our we're sponsored by hyperx
and Phantom glass and I guess I should probably actually have the the thing up
there so um is that next weekend yeah
holy crap do you not know that when do you leave uh Thursday wow yep I didn't
think about that until today wow okay so
those two videos the follow okay you need to film those early in the
and then we need to do like part one of hard pipe before you
go whoa yeah all right next week just
got harder oh I guess I just spoiled something this hard pipe yes thank you
harder I just spoiled something we are going to be doing a hard pipe tubing
water cool build log so this will be similar to mineral oil it's going to be
the first time for both of us Y at least that's what we're telling each other
it's our first time it's our first time um you know it's it's a lot it's harder
Charter so we are going to be doing that um we're probably going to be doing it
in multiple Parts cuz neither of us have done it before there's going to be a fair bit of trial and error um but we're
Adventure we're just kind of hoping to have some fun with it and take you guys
along for the ride hopefully Lee Harrington doesn't just like rip us apart cuz it's terrible oh I'm probably
I'm sure he will cuz we're going to make like every mistake I'm going to I
guarantee you I guarantee you Darth be
beas Richard SOS is going to have like Facebook messages in my inbox like a
dozen of them for every video like yo dog I that was terrible man I told you
man I'm going to coach you on how to do this stuff I say and he's going to be
like I could have helped you no no he actually straight up offered but I I
just want it to be a voyage of Discovery so you and I are just going to go for Gold All right so uh we're going to
study his videos or am or no no oh yeah
no we're just going to we're just going to do our best and then like on camera
if we can't figure out we'll resort to we have like a lot of extra tubing
looking upy yeah we do okay cool yeah
Primo chill sent us a bunch of stuff so uh so guys check out our paxis coverage
next weekend it's powered by hyperx um as usual our call out for hyperx is
going to be to check out their YouTube channel so that's youtube.com/ hyperx
it's actually youtube.com/ Kingston hyperx if you want to get to it a little
bit more reliably but they dropped the Kingston out of The Branding so I like
it you know how YouTube channels have a like an actual straight URL and then
they have a vanity URL so usually youtube.com/ hyperx works but I've had
problems with it some sometimes yeah I've had like when I um when I was
linking people to subscribe it in annotations it wouldn't work weird so
when you're doing the annotations make sure you do SL Kingston hyperx okay or
it might not work yeah cuz I always call out SL hyperx because it's always worked
for me yeah so just it's just one of those quirky things about uh you know
good old good old YouTube who we love so
much all right so our last sponsor today is M drop so we have
Dr slw show and you and I each get to do
a live unboxing today okay I didn't know this was coming you you want to go first
sure while I talk about what Mass drop is so Mass drop is basically um they're
like a they're kind of like a deal curator so they work with the community
to find the deals that the community wants they then work with the manufacturers and Distributors to get
the best possible pricing and then the more people commit to buy the lower the
price goes I actually M drop is I I
tweeted this earlier this week they're my least favorite sponsor because they
like they they they sponsor us and then they take my money right back oh yeah I
bought a zoom audio recorder on uh on M
drop the other night it's like well there goes $230 but I saved like 100
bucks yeah and I we've needed one of those realistically for like two years
so it's like fine I bought blueprints stop using Brandon of like some pretty
cool stuff that you can use in posters and so they've got lots of keyboards and
lots of just random stuff and that's what we have today we have a couple of
sort of random things to show you so what on Earth is this this is a Monoprice speaker a mono price speaker
yeah in like the craziest packaging you got this bro it's it like
comes apart yeah anyways I'm going to start opening the ostrich it looks like
a little spaceship so it it'ss like this but it
like looks like a spaceship capsule I don't know I like that open this thing
is ridiculous why can you open whoa what does it do oh that's cool and
then you can close it so you can be like do you want to drop the base no I want
to turn it up turn it up yeah I I get it it doesn't
make it good well I have a feeling I have a
feeling mine is going to be just as fun as yours it has a little attached Cable
in the bottom so you can plug into your phone or whatever this has reversible colors and this one is midnight gray
this is the ostrich pillow oh that's pretty cool so basically it's for
travelers okay it's by Studio banana things so I already like the name of
their company banana things and uh share your napping images and dreams I it
doesn't really come with instructions 95% rayon 5%
elastomere um there's like a label on it that under penalty of law not to be
removed except by the customer oh so I guess I can take that off yeah and then
basically it's got like a draw string here so you can tighten it up choke
someone out with it and then yeah in a
nice way way and then you put it on your
head wow over your eyes and then don't
do that ow I just SN myself head sound
comfortable at all and then basically the idea is this is a pillow so you just
there you go lay on the side of the bus or like yeah your neighbor on the
airplane that's actually pretty cool that's actually pretty decent
because there's quite a few times where I've tried to use like my bag and it's
just not great because there'll be a book or a laptop and then there's always
like that little bit of light that is just super annoying I wonder if you
could turn it around and lay on it backwards ow I got my earphone in so
that was a terrible thing that just happened but that's not too shabby I
kind of wish it wasn't full of those little uh like those little styrene
balls um cuz I find those make me really really warm oh okay but like this
concept is very very cool oh some people might like the warm I know so that's
that's a very much a your mileage may vary thing right there yeah but it's
reversible that's cool so there you go M
drop they have things so you can rock out at a beach party with your portable
Turn It Up Speaker I'm not sure if this is beach party grade you can rock out at
your small beach party with two people your miniature Beach your mouse beach
party and then when you're tired and going home cuz you're old like lonus you
can sleep on the
bus done M drop provides
everything oh check this out what um
okay it's a done deal the order has been
placed our phase change oh phase change
integrated case is arriving sometime
next week the amount of people that have been asking for this on the forum for
like a year the amount of people that have been asking me to cover phase
change in some meaningful way since the very beginning of lonus tech tips is
like crazy so for those of you who don't know phase change cooling has been
around for pretty much as long as
computer enthusiasts have been have known that running your CPU at lower
temperatures makes it overclock higher yeah and what it pretty much amounts to
is an air conditioner has a hot side and a cold side so it's got a condenser and
an evaporator and if you take the evaporator and instead excuse me instead
of having like a gigantic th array and then a big old fan on it that blows cool
air into the room while the condenser blows hot air to the outside
you have the condenser um just blow hot
air into your room which hopefully is air conditioned and then you have the
evaporator just be a little thing that sits directly on your CPU so we're
talking like negative 10 -2 um some
multi-stage units can even do much much lower temperatures than that CPU temps
so uh we just worked with um uh little
devil I think they go by LD cooling so we just worked with LD cooling they
weren't able to like sample us a unit or anything but they were able to give us a
significant discount so we can use can I help you oh thank you so we can use
their uh lean Lee case with an integrated phase change cooler in the
basement all white for our white out build guide what I didn't know it was
for the white out build guide all white so we're going to have that sa Branco uh
limited edition motherboard the Hall of Fame 9 card we're going to have a
Subzero CPU with like white sleeving on
the yeah oh this thing's going to be sick that's going to be awes this will
be the fastest machine we've ever built
uh well maybe not quite cuz we're only putting we're only putting One graphics
card in it but like fastest CPU we could just put more graphics cards in it this
will be the fastest the fastest um the
fastest will be able to CPU things up uh
ever so I'm I'm excited Mach
the best Dirt 3 machine yeah exactly yes uh Apple Bot camel audio this was
posted by prac um original article here is from
Mac Rumors can I help you here that
eyebrow there you go I thought I got what the twitch chat
was yelling at me about but apparently it was on your eyebrow so there you go so they make music plugins and effects
um do you want to go ahead and post this or you're already on it um blah blah there's some speculation
that they're planning to use their technology to make Garage Band better uh
there's some speculation that it just has you know more to do with apple just
getting deeper and deeper into audio so through the uh acquisition of Beats so
maybe they're planning to like relaunch beats's music streaming service with
some kind of Technology here something
so um a lot of it's just assumptions at
this point in time they acquir the company what they're going to use them for we don't really know we have a quote
actually on that Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time
and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans exactly yeah well okay
then thanks Apple thanks yeah I think
any of those guesses are pretty good um
Mercedes Chief laughs at Apple's rumored self-driving electric car this is posted
by Victoria Secret on the Forum so our original article here is from
motoring.com.au
and uh basically the statement was
something along the lines of you know if
Mercedes announced that they were building uh a phone would Apple be
shaking in their boots no and for that reason we are also not concerned about
Apple trying to become an automaker um Apple's not accustomed to the low
margins in the automaking automotive space uh blippity bloopity bloppy what I
kind of have to say about that is um don't get caught with your pants down
just going to say that's the wrong company to like spit at when they're
trying to do something it's just like I don't know that's silly also they're
electronic cars it's a very different space yeah it's a it's a it's a budding
brand new space Not An established you
know 100y old business the way that internal combustion engine cars are and
like yeah they've been making electric cars for a long time but like the like people actually buying hordes of them is
a very new thing yeah no no the the Technologies not that new just like the
internal combustion engine wasn't new when someone put it in a car um but the
it's it's happening now yeah the business is changing very very rapidly
it's in its infancy right now so um I
don't just reading this I was like
dude yeah no I don't know like maybe
Mercedes doesn't have to worry because Mercedes will probably still sell cars
but like if Apple fully does get into the and like there there is interesting
statements in here where we don't actually know what the goal is of Apple
getting into cars they might just be doing it to understand more yes people
are right about that who knows we don't actually have official statement from
them but I would not be surprised at all if they were trying to make a car and I
wouldn't be surprised at all if it was awesome so so here's here's kind of a
funny thing uh blah blah blah car this is from the article cars cost a lot to
develop and apple runs at a 25% return on investment while an exceptional Roi
for a car company would be 10% so considering that income imbalance um I'm
GNA just guess zi was clearly beused by
the concept of Apple becoming a car manufacturer right so can I point you at
Apple owning uh what was it something like 80
plus% of all the profits in the smartphone space in spite of their not
even number one market share can I point
you at that people have demonstrated time and time again that they're willing
to pay more for an Apple product and to ask people to pay a mere 15% more is
well within the realm of the possible yeah yeah can you think about that so on
a car purchase let's say your car is let's say it's $40,000 so like entry
level % is often within like the the haggling price at a lot of dealerships
mind you Apple won't haggle no but I'm saying yeah I'm just saying like that's
yeah so let's say $40,000 would be kind of like the entry level for like a
pretty nice vehicle sort of that's where that's about what Tesla's uh aiming for
with their upcoming 35ish something along those lines if Apple asked for you
know 4800 you don't think they would win
anyone over you're spending 40,000 already you might spend an extra 7500
8,000 uh they might have a champagne gold finish on it um I think I think
you're basically an idiot to not think that Apple can get another 15% out of a
customer so there's that people are mad at you because they're saying it's 15%
more on a car and on a phone so it is a bun bigger dollar value he knows that I
just said that and people are also mad at you because they're saying it's 15%
more than a Mercedes he also knows that yeah I know that too I mean 15% more on
an iPhone is 15% more than a Galaxy
which is also you know a luxury you know Flagship smartphone that doesn't change
the fact that people are going to give Apple more of their money that's just how it is I don't okay out there EXT an
extra 100 or two is a lot easier to get than an extra couple thousand but you're
also making much different style of Investments and you'd be saving in
different ways and possibly getting loans and stuff like right and when you
and remember remember the way that automakers sell cars is with that
monthly number yeah okay so when we're talking 229 a month versus 249 a month
yeah come on man it doesn't sound that bad when you hear it at that scale
that's right and that's going to be your 48 month or 60-month financing or
whatever the case may be I don't think I don't think even apple is has enough
hubris to imagine that people are just going to plunk down cash for their cars
every time they buy them they're going to have financing options available they're going to be attractive look at
the way Apple's been building relationships with the banks you think they're not going to be able to figure
out a way to make that happen I think they will yeah so uh yeah watch out guys
watch out uh YouTube this was originally
posted by Overlord and our article here is from end
Gadget Wall Street Journal YouTube isn't making money even with a billion
viewers oh God is that Nick again I
don't know someone was at the door is it locked
no we only lock it when we're doing other things in here yeah yeah shouldn't
be a problem no so despite Gangam Style
having over two billion views hosting countless other viral clips and netting
over a billion users per month YouTube
can't seem to turn a profit how's that
well blah BL blah there's a lot of infrastructure costs uh blah blah a lot
of YouTubers are circumventing the uh the 45% YouTube tax by selling their own
advertising um uh also it's hard to sell
and this is this is a this is one of the big reasons why we are actually looking
into vessel as a video platform um
Google has a hard time selling ads at
reasonable cpms for online video so
without giving you guys exact numbers
that will be sort of helpful to you SL
but I'm going to try and be helpful to you without giving away anything that
I'm not allowed to allowed to say as part of my agreement with YouTube
um looking at what someone like vessel
is claiming they can accomplish by offering curated content so just from
creators that they hand select and from not from having what they're hoping I
guess uh more similar to broadcast TV is a more diverse audience so one of the
big problems for YouTube according to the article is that what was it 9% of
viewers make up 85% of the traffic yeah
which is horrendous I mean an Advertiser is not going to pay as much for that
versus more unique impressions um so so
vessel let's just say let's just say multiple times higher cpms so that could
be anywhere from is two technically a multiple I guess I think so so anywhere
from two to to to to more than two let's
just say that much I don't want to I don't want to say any more than I can I think that's pretty safe so being able
to being able to offer much higher uh being able to sell ads at very low cpms
means that even though YouTube has to show you the viewer a lot of ads and has
algorithms on the back end that optimize how many ads they're showing you without
fatiguing you as a viewer to the point where you just quit your browsing
session um even with that thanks to the very low cpms they are not able to turn
a profit and that's where competing video platforms may have an opportunity
to uh to take a to take a crack at them but of course um you know the the the
sheer audience side of of YouTube is still going to make it
a very attractive platform for Content creators and while we are very
interested in vessel if you haven't heard of it um these guys reached out to
us about a month ago and pretty much the
way it works is your content would be on vessel and also on YouTube but it would
go up to vessel first so they've actually got some very very significant
just from the just from the thumbnails back here you guys should recognize some
very familiar faces um so yeah could be it could be it
could be a pretty interesting it could be a pretty interesting year um so we
are definitely considering uh moving maybe not all channels but at least some
of our content over to vessel and so YouTube will still get the release but
it might get it anywhere from I think 3 Days To a week is what content creators
are typically doing yeah um I guess this is also a good opportunity to to talk
about some of the changes that YouTube's made recently that are generating maybe
not a ton but at least some animosity from their uh from their content
creators so um YouTube is kind of going
hey you know those ads that you guys are selling yourselves that's really going
to affect the way that we're going to be able to monetize our content because we
we can't we our algorithms for how many ads people are watching and you know how
how that affects their viewing experience hey those don't work if if
we're not controlling the ad placement so we need you guys going through uh the
proper channels to to do your advertising oh um I have a note from
Ghost maybe I should explain what CPM means that's uh how many dollar are
you're you're selling for per thousand views cost per Mill not million Mill uh
like a thousand yeah um so so blah blah
blah right so so they don't want content creators baking in their own app
but from our side looking at what a typical video CPM would be what we get
through something like AdSense is not even close to comparable and would not
help us sustain our business and we don't have access as creators to tools
where we could you know like you know how uh a pre-roll will run across you
know a video whether it's Nike or McDonald's or whatever else we don't
have access to fill those slots ourself like we don't have the dashboard that
would let us sell our own ads and then populate those spots so the only options
we have are to bake things into the content um so so basically for the
longest time it's been kind of wild west content creators have been able to
largely do whatever they wanted even though a lot of what people have done is
technically against the rules no one's ever really cracked down on it and so
now all of a sudden they're taking that capability away from us which means that
we have to find over the next little while some new creative ways to to make
sure that you know I don't have to lay off all of my staff and stop making
YouTube videos and get a job flipping burgers in order to uh to keep the
lights on and keep this whole operation going so um I sympathize with YouTube
and I understand I totally understand the reason they have to do this clean
adree content is much easier to sell ads
against when you so that you're not overwhelming the viewer uh but the flip
side of that is they haven't given us the tools they haven't given us the
capability to to sell our own ads at
reasonable cpms and they haven't provided the cpms that we need to keep
growing our operation on the own so there's a bit of a there's a bit of a
trust Gap I would say on on my side
anyway where YouTube doesn't work with me directly at all I know a lot of
creators my size are even significantly smaller where YouTube is in
communication with them uh but other than a blog post that I did back in 2000
10 I want to say um about finding your
Niche and it was on like the the creators blog or whatever the equivalent
was back then um I have never heard from
YouTube except when I've reached out like hey um I never got my silver
subscriber plaque um could I get that and like stuff like that super not
helpful actually or hey my channel Got Hijacked can you take a month to get it
back to me that'd be great thanks like that kind of thing so super not help at
all so yeah I I don't know I I feel like
um so they they have some ideas they're hoping that their music music key and
some other ideas can help turn a profit through YouTube um I think there's
there's a lot of potential to to to create you know uh like a premium uh a
premium YouTube where people pay a monthly subscription or pay whatever for
for ad free access for example and I mean maybe that maybe this is a
precursor to that you know that's why they need to remove the ads that are
baked into the content so people don't complain hey I'm paying for this premium
YouTube access I'm still seeing ads um so creating a better user experience all
that stuff like totally get why they're doing it it just means that we're going to have to look for other creative ways
to make sure that our business doesn't suffer and you know my employees and
children continue to eat and all that stuff in the meantime so expect to see
you know us try out potentially you know other video services like vessel expect
to see us you know have more merch available in the next little bit um to
see us pushing the whole changing your Amazon link to one with our affiliate
code thing over the next little bit um there's going to be some new ideas we're
rolling out on the Forum to make the community a little bit more uh fun to
participate in as well as see if we can drive a little bit more Revenue there
because I don't know if a lot of you know this but um Google actually cut off
our AdSense on the Forum a couple of months ago it has been generating zero
revenue for a couple months other than our contributors who are just I mean for
contributors we don't have a lot of perks for them they just contribute out
of the goodness of their hearts and to support us and that's the only thing keeping the site going and contributing
to the time that we spend on it behind the scenes as well so um most of the
time outside of hours most of the times outside of hours and like so yeah we
just uh we're going to need some we're going to need some new ideas we do have
cool stuff coming we do have cool stuff coming I've been saying that for a little while but like it's actually very
close yeah yeah I don't know one thing cuz we're
getting kind of overtime by a bit if you scroll down a fair amount yeah I want to
show you something it's it's at the end of the main can I just mention this
Dying Light thing yeah okay posted by nine Shadow you got to show the yeah
yeah there's a Dying Light Edition for
250,000 lb um that comes with a zombie proof
shelter you also get to go hang out with the devs and like a bunch of other stuff
and they let you win custom built zombie proof shelter provided by Tiger log cab
uh people thought it was a joke is not a
joke it's like the uh whoa you get your
face you get your face in the game only one my apocalypse Edition will
be sold and it's available exclusively through the UK retailer game
unbelievable okay we can move on to the next thing uh it's kind of like the
Saints Row thing yeah where they sold like the car or whatever okay so scroll
a lot of the way down it's just before the
right it's right here oh okay yeah
sure um Seattle Police body cam do you want to start talking about it I don't
know anything about this okay so I don't know a ton about it it was uh one of my
buddies sent it to me like way earlier today and I've had a few tweets and
stuff about it um but apparently the Seattle PD actually has a YouTube
channel for their body cam footage like I Wasing um it's now there it's actually
been a lot easier for them to uh handle
uh they they have some new method where it used to take them about 60 Minutes to
like properly blur out everything in the shots and whatnot for a minute of
footage and now uh they can do it a lot
faster I don't know exactly where the spec is for that but they can do it way faster there's an example video in here
of some of their footage um yeah so they're now actually
using YouTube so yeah you'll see you'll see
like uh you can see a lot of what's going on to be completely honest but
you'll see like when it when it kind of peers up at people it blurs them out a
little bit and stuff and there's a lot of stuff that's like purposely blurred
out huh but you can kind of see what's going
on so it's a it's a proper body Cam and
then yeah they when it when it kind of points up it blur out a lot and then
once it comes back down it it lessens the blur by quite a bit interesting yeah
so there you go you came up with the solution that I totally said was
ridiculous and shouldn't be a viable solution it probably shouldn't be it
probably shouldn't be but you know whatever apparently it
took half a day to process four hours of raw video which is a lot better than 60
Minutes for one minute you know what I've like you know what kind of baffles
me is that there isn't a tool for just like seriously can someone can someone
come up with this YouTube you know while I'm you know complaining about you not
giving creators tools um why isn't there a way for us to blur something out after
the fact yeah like really why isn't there just a tool for like in real time
while we're watching a video we just have like a a like a blur brush and like
we just hold down and like move around according to the video to blur something
like that seems like it seems like the kind of thing that should have like
obviously been a thing for years like the blurring tools that that are built
into programs like Premiere and Vegas are all like this key frame based stupid
complete stupid that has that just takes so long
compared to like if I just had like a mouse scroll wheel and that changed the
size dynamically so I could just play the video at like half speed or
something and then I could just like change the size and follow something
around on screen to blur it that would solve 99% have have it add like 5
seconds before and 5 Seconds afterwards so that your delayed click gets taken
care of like it is unbelievable to me
that tools like that don't exist done um the Apple watch event is announced for
March the 9th this was posted by Overlord on the Forum um Tim Cook has
some pretty bold statements to make about the Apple watch in general um
something along the lines of you know it will replace your wallet it will replace
your car keys it will do important
things that make you happy um my response to that is maybe the third gen
one will because that first gen one is a gigantic turd if it's only going to have
like 4 hours of screen time so spring forward is the the announcement select
media have been invited of course we have not
oh uh is our is our camera
working that would be a pretty convenient time to stop the
stream um okay all right outro uh well hold on
let's just see if there's anything else that we should be talking about uh
you're Shing right now yeah that's fine uh so this this is this is cool 60% on a
on a 9 to5 Mac readers poll so out of
3,100 people are not satisfied with current gen iPhone battery life and want
Apple to thicken the next iPhone to improve battery life I agree with them
100% I don't understand why we need a c why we compromise on a camera bump yeah
but we won't compromise on just making it a little bit thicker yeah uh that was
posted by op code um this is interesting Intel will
Rebrand the Atom Processor to X3 X5 and
X7 um because they didn't have enough
overlap with BMW's naming
already yeah seriously yay they should just get it
over with and become one company already so can you guys just you know
sleep together just go get a room so that this
stops being awkward for everyone else thank you um Google's new AI has already
learned how to crush us at 49 games um
so this was without being actually a gaming AI posted by roohi Kumar SP um so
this is sort of similar to the conversation that Luke and I had a
little while ago about how um oh all I
could figure out how to do was identify the idea of cat which is actually really
impressive but which is actually kind of a big deal and was actually a pretty old
experiment by the time that that he was saying that yeah so uh so what was it
how many games 29 of them9 hold on uh no
there were there were a significant 29 games it surpassed the performance of
expert humans and outperformed the best known algorithmic methods for completing
games in 43 instances yeah out of 49 games total
so the AI just kind of spent all its time playing old arcade games and
learned how to play them it's not a gaming specific AI it's an AI built to
try to find better ways to do things in general and just a really easy way to do
that is to throw Atari 2600 games at it cuz they're very
formulaic yeah so what what's cool so they gave um they automatically rewarded
the AI with like a treat for getting for passing levels and getting high scores
in the same way that you'll get like um you'll get a chemical Rush whenever you
feel like you accomplished something um so
yeah pretty freaking cool so here was
the machine strategy when it first got got its hands on Breakout
yeah this is actually pretty sick once it gets a little bit further
in I I don't think it goes any further in it's just showing us oh I've seen a
different gift then yeah yeah so it's just showing us
like it didn't really know what to do at first but if it get but if you give it a
reward every time it scores or beats a
level then uh it figures out how to do like oh okay I'm supposed to do this and
then oh okay I can do this faster better or whatever yeah fascinating all right
so thank you guys oh is there anything else you wanted to talk about nope okay
thank you guys very much for tuning in to the W show we hope you enjoyed it as
much as we did thanks to our sponsors hyperx Mass drop and xsplit and we will
see you guys again next time bye you got to play the outro thing
I will oh there it goes oh there it goes
apparently there's no sound dude
oh I know what the problem is oh I just figured out exactly what the problem is
um yeah I think I just have to select a
different um so the audio devices on this thing just went completely Haywire
yeah hold on let's let's try let's try
it again let's try it again so uh
here you go I can't hear it anymore but I bet
they
can we're still broadcasting
going this is like the actual I don't know why way yeah yeah
there's sound so yeah we fixed the sound yeah we fixed the sound on the outro
yeah all right good night everyone bye
