are we live and we're live all right no way welcome to the W
show where I use two mice I don't use any and two computers I
use one you H the mic that probably sounded ter I'm sorry I'm sorry I hit
the mic I hit the keyboard over here I'm not good at using the computers I'm just
I'm trying to use the computers it's basically the whole Channel
takes a little bit of both yeah there's there's a combination of things we have
a great show for you guys today the best
show the greatest Prett much the best show um twitch opens up its money-making
tools to nonp partnered channels I don't know about twitch but
uh not all of them I don't know if I'd open up my money-making tools to uh nonp
Partners if you know what I mean wow wow
only in approved circumstances which is what they're doing that's right you
still have to apply with a condom yes there's a rumor that Google is planning
to add a native add blocker to
Chrome super sick also you can Flash possibly your radon rx470 towards a 570
because this seems to happen every time the towards is weird two of 57 I changed
it I included it cuz I was like h no no
you can't flash something towards I mean I could flash something towards us it
ends up being a 565 because it was on
the way it was almost there just didn't quite make it
569 yeah okay cuz it kind of got
backwards at the last second there 569
yeah I'm totally down that's what it should be called anyways valve asks for
as long as you're the other
way oh man Val asked for phone numbers to confirm Dota 2 player identity
wow that's that's a big step forward for
the removal of anonymity from uh online gaming and by
step forward to be clear I'm not uh I'm not going to say if I'm for or against
the move I mean it is a step forward towards that particular end goal we can
discuss it more later first you have to sit through the intro with sound oh with
sound the new revelation
oh there we go Savage jerky I already ate some oh you bastard you're cheating
the system fresh
FR I already did some accounting
I saw okay I saw the habanero one and I was like last time it just lasted
forever anyways so I can just eat that
one and no one's really going to care cuz it just burns everyone else out now
it's open yeah you know everybody else
stuck with the system every single other person every single other person to be
fair this see this is the reason this is
the reason that we're pushing him out cuz I eat the jerky to his
development project okay
if you were wondering why I ate dad's jerk and he kicked me out of the house
that's right and you deserved it and you know
it yeah yeah yeah it's time to pay
rent all right so let's go ahead and why
don't we jump right into our first topic here let's let's have some let's have
some fun here let's get right into twitch opening up its moneymaking tools
to nonpartnered channnels so the original article here is from Tech
crunch oh that one and the funny thing
about this is it is right on the heels
of YouTube actually closing down access
to their ad generating money generating tools from folks who aren't abiding by
and like a an Advertiser friendly sort
of um unspoken content guideline yeah
now I'm not saying that this is an Apples to Apples comparison by any
stretch of the imagination but ifch was looking for a good time to
kind you know open up the FL Gates and
creators that want to do it as a job try and be more Creator friendly this is uh
this is as good a time as any there's some interesting things it's not full
partnership so if you're looking at Partners right now and being like Oh yes
I'll be able to become that or my friend will be able to become that or whatever it's not quite the same you won't get
everything yeah why don't you start with a rundown of the benefits that Partners
get you're partnered right Partners yeah so Partners have you have a subscription
button which is like the bread and butter of being a partner and these guys
will not get that a subscription button is $5 a month and you get a chat badge
showing that showing that you're a subscriber if you subscribe for a really long time that chat badge can get
upgraded um you get special emojis in the chat all that kind of fun stuff I
think there's been some like potential leak kind of stuff where people are
talking about how there might be different tiers of subscriptions in the
future but who knows um then there's
cheering with bits which both of these tiers will be able to get cheering with
bits is like there's always been donating to streamers this is a way to
donate to streamers through the twitch platform instead of through something
that the streamer sets up uh it shows up in the chat with a little animated thing
depending on how many bits you actually donated um and streamers can tie it in
to actually have it pop up on their stream and play a sound notification whatever you will get that it's a way of
virtual tipping they call it um and I
believe yeah when you when you cheer you get a chat badge that slowly upgrades
over time depending on how much you've cheered I'm going to be honest with you
I'm streaming on Twitch right now I do not get that the cheer thing yeah I
don't get it I don't get why it incentivizes people to to like donate
more people like shiny things I know I don't get it and like okay another one
is if you cheer and comment in the same
line uh you could the partner can have a thing where that gets pinned to the top
of the chat the most recent cheer can get pinned to the top of the
chat so if you want your comment to be seen by everyone for sure in a chat with
comments flying by you add like a little bit of money to it and it gets pinned so
everyone sees it I don't personally care about
commenting on Twitch so it's not for me
I only comment to troll you on your stream occasionally every com you're not
even listening so I can't even respond well I'm okay the only the only
time I have enough time to sit and watch your no
offense it's okay the the the only time
that there couldn't that there isn't something anything that's a higher
priority for me is when I'm like rocking the baby to
sleep yeah yeah and I'm just like yep it
is not important if what I'm doing right now happens quickly so you're muted
you're muted AF yeah and I'm just like well I'm in the chat trolling and then
everyone freaks out and then they're trying to like communicate for both of
us so the chat starts trying to talk for me to you and then some like that gets
really weird meanwhile there's the delay yeah so there's that which these days
can be really long yeah or not or not
existent almost at all yeah so it's really confusing it's very weird um so
so so can people pin a so can people cheer for us like here so I believe are
we partnered we are partnered for sure we might not have that enabled okay and
that would be just because like Che I'm an idiot and I don't know how the
dashboard Works basically well not the dashboard well there was that one
feature that you were like yeah you're going to need to turn that on and I'm
like and you're like yeah I'll do it for you well we also had the auto hosting
thing enabled is that what you're talking yeah that's the that's one no
there there's been two I don't remember what the other one was I don't remember exactly where it is but it's not
dashboard partner there partner settings subscriber only
chat exclud custom cheer enable cheering with bits so it's disabled so it's
disabled we have everything disabled we
have um royalty tax and service tax
disabled an interview what the heck is that we have subscriber only chat
disabled we have excluding subscribers from slow mode disabled we have cheering
with bits disabled a custom cheer Moe disabled bits threshold settings
disabled disabled chat badge settings disabled restrict access to archives
disabled um ad free for subscribers is
enabled heck yeah and our affiliate options are disabled as well as our
earning revenue from game sales you might want to turn the bits one on we
are clearly not doing this right we must be the worst partnered twitch streamers
on the entire platform we're pretty bad I think you're also supposed to stream a
minimum of three times a week that clearly never
happens we're like never even on time let alone three times a week so yeah may
maybe not the like what people should aspire to be
yeah okay so this ju this just in we are
not what people should aspire to be more
at 11 stream lest don't stream for as long don't stream games don't have have
all the all the moneymaking stuff yeah turn turn that [ __ ]
off allow subscribers but like don't really worry about giving them anything
cool apparently yeah and pre-record last week's WAN Show that was
close that's right I almost got the lens that would have been terrible actually
um yeah you'll have you'll have cheering with bits if you get into the affiliate
program I believe there's also ads so you can have advertisements on the
channel those roll and give you some money but that is very low and then if
you are planning to live stream this week's W show make sure you change your
clock setting oh ah see that see that
changing the clock settings for this clearly pre-recorded show fake live
stream yes and then you don't get any weird issues with like the computer not
being able to do things on the internet because the time code is so wrong and
stuff because you're just local recording that's right then you just set it back to normal and upload it later no
problem easy mode all right so anyway in a nutshell this new tier will be called
Affiliates yeah not um Partners okay and
cooler for partners cuz Partners get stuff like a verified chat badge which
will set them apart when they go into other people's chats and and it will
still be on an invitation basis so based on a number of criteria including time
spent streaming sorry time spent streaming
viewership numbers and follower count I think those last two were pretty good
right yeah we're we're doing pretty solid okay yeah all right it's it's an
easier way to start kind of getting your
foot in the door because right now the threshold for becoming a partner is very
hard to hit when the discoverability of twitch's platform being not a partner is
really rough is really bad right that's fair like unless you're like the first
person streaming some hot new game and even then you've got like an hour yeah
you really don't have that long and you need to be like exceptionally good at it
often to really draw people in like there there's a few success stories
where someone gets like a weird early access code so they get like a day ahead
of everyone else so they're further in the game than everyone so then they get a bunch of viewers I see or like a bunch
of servers goes down but the one they're connected to is able to stay up so they
get a bunch of like there's there's weird ways that people to make it t
accidentally promoting Small Time streamers since 200 whatever it hasn't
been that long I've talked to people about this and it's it's hard because um
with with something like YouTube you get off boarded every about 5 10 minutes
because the video will end and it's going to suggest a whole bunch of other
videos right so you'll get offboard you might continue purposefully going for
their videos but it's making a conscious decision over and over and over again
every 5 to 10 minutes with twitch you click on one person and then it tries to
keep you there so it's it's actually harder for
them to try to spread their users out and then if you want to go find one of
these little smaller streamers you're going to be going to some game and and
you'll be like scrolling through pages and pages of all things that look the
same basically just like thumbnails of a game yeah cuz like that's pretty much it
that's what's going on yeah cuz you can't put boobs in it anymore so what are you supposed to do guns like I can't
I can't even like am I even allowed to wear a low cut I think that yes this is
okay you're not allowed to show a nip no nip no nip so I could even I could even
like that's that's probably fine that's probably fine too I think mid drift is
also not allowed you know what's kind of funny is up here's probably cool
depending on the compression the this kind of like this
kind of whsy hair could even look kind of like a shadowed between boob kind of
cleavage area why do people why do people watch
this show ripped giantex yeah giant peex going that's what's going on over here
giant uh giant uh LW
lud we put the lud in
lud all right another news uh Google
this is rumored uh the original post on our Forum was by dead eyed psycho thank
you for posting that Google is rumored to be adding a native ad blocker to
Chrome can you even imagine
honestly after you read through this it completely makes sense what what they're
targeting is stuff like popup ads that don't go away for a
timer ads that autoplay videos sure ads
that autoplay sound there there they're only targeting ad blocking for things
that they view as like kind of heinous intrusive yeah intrusive damaging the
user experience this is coming back to is it ad block plus I can never keep
track this is coming back to there's so many and they're all the concept though
of of a responsible web
ad and whitelisting ads that are
nonintrusive that's the idea then so their thing is uh they're they're
blocking ads that are beneath a threshold of user or consumer
acceptability mhm so if you go to website it's like oh my goodness this is
ridiculous hopefully they'll be blocking that so tell me
this what would this mean for the uh
Effectiveness then of online advertising because there's a reason that obnoxious
ads exist if they didn't work they
wouldn't exist nobody would put them on their website so and and I mean you've
got some experience with this yeah the obnoxious ads how much more do they pay
a lot more like to can you give us I actually don't know like I don't
remember the exact numbers cuz this was a couple years ago where we had this
like fight um we did well not not you
and me oh I see cuz I was going to say I don't I don't think I was ever pushing you for like okay to give a little bit
of context we're talking about the Forum particular Tech tips.com Forum that's
the only place where we've there was a recent little bit of a curfuffle where
um a certain member of the team Colton added a bunch of ads and like didn't put
them in the right spots and didn't enable the right rules so like people
that had paid to be on the Forum while not seeing ads were seeing ads and they
were like everywhere and in really obnoxious places and stuff but I took
care of that it's fine now um but there
there was a little bit of a cruffle way back in the day when we were kind of
deciding how we want everything to work and a partner that we had uh that was
like getting the ads for us to put on the website was a little distraught
because they wanted to put ads um not
just above the fold because we have one ad that's above the fold on the top
right I don't think it's too intrusive um but they wanted to put it like Center
Middle top here why don't I log in so
you guys can see okay so here you go uh
I'm actually here I'm just going to move us so um this spot right here is what we
call above the fold which is above the first page break on a website you can
actually see we don't even have anything on our second we don't have a lot of
advertising on our site isn't there usually a on there okay there's supposed
to be a foter one like why would anyone be here down at the test posts yeah not
oh wait probably not everyone can see uh okay well anyway um okay well right now
we're logged into an account that I think has access to stuff that not everybody does but basically the
advertising partner wanted us to put one of those ones here or above that what
like up there here yeah e they wanted it specifically to go in line with the logo
up in the top part and and and they wanted it auto playing video um not
necessarily sound because they agreed that was pretty intrusive but like autop
playing video popup stuff like because those are the things that make money if
you make it like the top middle of the page it makes a little bit more money
and like I think Colton put one right in
this are oops hold on I think Colton put
one right in this area yeah so I AED that pretty quick there's one where if
you go into a forum section yeah it's if
you're not logged in oh this is a long post I am logged in though if you're
yeah I know but if you're not logged in there's one that goes in between these
two posts sure but if you are logged in it goes away and right now it doesn't
have it but I'll put it there um again and back in the day it had this where it
shows on each side of that ad goes just
log in to get rid of this ad right and the idea was we just wanted more members
yeah and if you're if you're just out like a troubleshooting post and you're
not going to come back like sure you can never have enough
members that could get ridiculous pretty quick
actually be really painful to like move
around well the member itself's not that painful as long as each of them doesn't
have a ball sack then you're probably
okay as Brandon just looks
over sorry Brandon um okay so in a
nutshell uh there's there's some reasoning behind all this um so Google
may choose to block all advertising that
appears on sites with offending ads instead of the individual offending ads
themselves so Google is like taking a stand against crappy advertising because
these kinds of ads are what are pushing people to install ad blocking software
and 26% of us users now employ ad
blocking tools on their desktops anyway yeah and this is I mean this is
estimated but if your Google and your whole business is contextual advertising
with the idea behind it being that you are providing an ad that has relevance
to the user I can see why you might be
leveraging your position as the number one browser to to try to reverse that
tide um and try and try and stop bleeding out the users that you can show
advertising to and there's that that common quote that
I I don't know how many people actually go with this but there's a common quote
that like if the ads weren't so intrusive I wouldn't run ad block yeah I
I I personally think that's kind of BS a
lot of the time I'm sure there I'm sure it's true for some people I know one
person in particular that has it set to off for all Sites but then if there's a
site that he can like barely view because of it he'll specifically turn it
on for that and I'm like okay that that seems a little bit more legit to me
right um but like whatever I I understand the concern there's it is
very annoying when you go to some sites and it's just everywhere it's ridiculous
one that I particularly really hate is when you're on a news style website and
they have those news style ads that are
just all bull crap the uh sponsored
stories I never I never actually click on them but I often think that
it's real at first so I'll go read them
and then I'm like oh crap that's one of those stupid things again GH I just
that's so it just it's it's distracting and it's it's never goingon to make me
click on it because it's so obviously BS but that's the thing is like they
wouldn't exist if some people weren't clicking on them here we go so this is
what we're talking about it's like he doesn't speak with
his daughter anymore after the incident
and like it's obviously canu yeah I don't know who the chick is but she's
probably some well-known person too it's like she had idea wow I think they this
one usually has a no in it I think this is like how can you not even copy
paste and like it's it's it's there's often lots of skin like it's h there's
like weird medical stuff is always in there yeah you can see at least at least
two or like this secret will destroy the diabetes industry try it tonight what
watch this simple trick oh man it's like
I just I hate ads yeah I absolutely hate those ads all
right so yeah I'm I would be very done with that go ahead Google run for it
I'll make sure the forum's all good I do wonder if they're going to make the make
it through the uh like you know the regulatory bodies that exist I don't
know who exactly would be would be sort of monitoring no I don't think it's a
problem because your browser interprets the Internet it's anti-competitive if Google is blocking
other AD providers ads with their
browser that they control and they're an ad provider and they they're not
blocking their own ads I mean they could say no we're blocking our own ads
equally ours aren't obnoxious so they don't fall within this criteria that was
determined by this third party Coalition for better ads it's not our fault but I
that's got to hold up in court I mean I'm sure Google has like done is going
to do their due I mean it's not like this is happening yet it's not like this is even confirmed very much a rumor I'm
sure they'll do their due diligence before they just roll this out but I I
have some serious doubts about whether or not this would make it through the
scrutiny of a legal review and given the
size of the advertising industry the kinds of Damages that Google could
potentially have to pay for a move like this could actually be enough to
dissuade them like they yes they have enough money to buy the Earth and all the heavens but
um it could be significant enough to be
an issue yeah um hope they do it this was
originally posted by Cela one so
um for those of you who were
wondering if perhaps AMD did do the
retooling and refining of the manufacturing on their rx470 and 480
graphics cards that they said they did in order to turn them into 570 and 580
graphics cards then
um I don't remember how I started that sentence so I'm not not sure how to end
it but for those of you that actually believed yes um it may be that they
didn't do quite as much as they said they did and the high uh power
consumption of the 570 and the 580 May
simply have to do with AMD binning for
high leakage high high power chips and
cranking up the voltage so it is uh
looks like the original article here is from Guru 3D there could have even maybe
been some retooling to help them get
larger bins of cards that they think would fit under this yep yep and that's
that's very very possible and N probable
as well but what it looks like is that most of the board partners are using the
very same PCB design according to Hilbert over there um that they used for
the 400 series and since the device ID
doesn't appear to be changed just the subsystem ID then there is the
possibility that you can Flash the graphics card using ATI tool or excuse
me ATI flash so um looks like it can be
achieved regardless of CPU um and uh yeah there you go I mean
it's not like this is the first time that yay thank you oh it's not like this
is the first time that AMD has run into this sort of thing which really does
kind of raised the question did they did they not see this coming it's it's not
it wasn't even that long ago maybe they don't care I think my favorite one was 290 to
290x because it was like literally sold as a different product within the same
time frame yeah they've had other situ I mean
they've had a lot flashing radons goes all the way back to like the 9500 nonpr
where they reused the PCB design and
memory layout of the radon
9700 there you go um and if you had I
believe it was the ey shaped memory config versus the lower cost with lower
clocked L-shaped memory config then you could flash it to 9700 is that right you
would probably know that wouldn't you 2.8 n 256 bit memory yes so so so L was
L was good or bad sorry so apparently L
was good I shaped was bad um
anyway which kind of leads me to believe then that they must just not care I mean
remember the 9 uh 50 5870 it might even
be good for them it just had a BIOS switch on it yeah and they were just
like yeah there's like a normal BIOS and like a whatever
BIOS do whatever you're going to do with that like maybe they just don't give a
crap it might legitimately be good for them because this isn't it's very
unlikely to come across as bad news to people that are very informed cuz
they're just going to be like oh sweet I can buy the older one and then just do this crazy manual thing and those people
that aren't informed aren't really going to care and they'll buy whatever one fits into their budget properly so the
hardcores will be like excited and talking about their brand maybe this is
why AMD ends up with kind of that um Rebellion that that team that team red
kind of fanaticism where it's like they just kind of leave stuff there for those
super hardcore to find company is built on Hope built on Easter eggs Easter eggs
where it's just like realistically no one else is probably even going to about
the small performance difference between a 400 series and a 500
series um and like the actual risk I
think a lot of companies worry about this where they're like yeah I mean
realistically we don't care if people were to flash the card but what we're
worried about is people screwing it up and bricking the card yeah um but I
think the the percentage of users who are actually going to downlo a tool like
ATI flash is so small that all you
really stand to gain is Hardcore users
who are like super excited about it doing it and talking about what a great
company you are and the people who don't care just not doing it and just having
to listen to their friend yes yes okay the yes the 480 is cheaper and better I
you know I I play my game just fine I can't be bothered with that I'm just going to get a 580 I don't care go away
shut up I'll see you on uh I'll see you on Discord in 20 minutes
yeah um so yeah there there you have it okay
now let's get into our biggest topic of the day right after these ads fresh
books oh oh are you a small business
owner or freelancer having trouble keeping track of things like expenses
and time logged on a given job invoices
you've sent out to your clients fresh books is all about making that easy
instead of having your like accounting
software on your computer at night and you get home from a long day of painting
houses or whatever it is and your arms are legitimately s I'm serious no I know
smile because I yeah you do enough thousands of reps of pretty much
anything and you're going to get a workout yeah um and the climbing the
ladders ain't bad either I'm like I okay not to do especially for going up with a
Fiverr yeah which five gallon talkinging about
carrying a five gallon bucket a ladder that even to like fill it with almost
anything and that's going to be annoying let alone like a dense liquid yeah um
but but anyway so the point is fresh books lets you take your accounting with
you and makes it simple enough that anyone can do it you just take pictures
of your invoices and log them you log your hours so you can make sure you're
sending out your bills properly you invoice in less than 30 seconds you send
a nice professional looking invoice and
the client pays on your terms so you can take uh deposits you can actually have
them pay through the platform so you can get paid faster and this is really cool
you can see when the client has seen the invoice and put an end to that uh oh did
you send it yet sorry I didn't get it hey U you know I don't have my checkbook
on me you know what forget your checkbook well don't forget your checkbook remember your checkbook and
pay me cuz I know you saw it or pay with their little module thing yeah or that
they have a reader as well so check it out freshbooks.com
try it out you get a 30-day free trial
and now we're get yes yes now we're getting into the Savage Savage
jerky which one was the one that I really like there were a couple actually
so last time I I ate the reaper on stream and just like died um so that was
a level five of hot they showed their like heat level at the bottom which I
think is super cool this is a level four I've got a two I'm I'm going for the
maple Buffalo bacon maple Buffalo bacon these guys actually this is really funny
so you know how they sponsored us like a bazillion years ago and then they just
went like radio silence on us yeah so it turns out that wasn't because they hate
us that was just like a shipping logistical
issue so so yeah they they don't hate us it's all good which is good because I
was like hey Colton did we get any more samples of that jerky and he's like we
ate everything they sent us so fast I know so Maple Maple Buffalo bacon wait
is that a five was this is a four okay
we have a five I know we have the Carolina Reaper that's what I ate last
time when I like died and we also have the ghost pepper did you try ghost
pepper yet oh my God I don't okay I want to try the Mojo habanero okay let's see
how you deal with that okay are you good with spicy stuff do you like I just
really like the maple one so I'm eating that first okay have you tried the maple
Buffalo bacon I have not it's really good it's not that hot M you might not
get the full effect if you've already eaten a really spicy one recently I can
clear it out yeah you got to soilent really it's like the same
consistency as milk it works you disgust me in every
way what's wrong with you everything I'm
just going to wash down this jerky
bacon with some
soilent everything is wrong with that sentence okay so the Mojo habanero this
is oh no this is three three wait oh no
it Go scale four point scale okay so
yeah the the two is like oh no no the reaper is five that does go all the way
to five it adds another bar it adds another bar over the rest of the
packages okay so the ghost pepper is a four okay okay so see if you can handle
the ghost pepper then okay so is is this one this one's what
this one's a three this can't be that bad cuz the maple Buffalo bacon is a two
and that's really not that hot you can't handle that heat from the maple this
stuff is like so covered in like spices
and like all right have a
narrow it's spicy it's not too bad but
it's spicy no it's spicy but it's nice yeah beef lime juice
water oh there's a little bit of kick oh it takes a
sec you can taste the Citrus though it has lime juice orange juice and lemon
juice how's how's it going that's nice though
it's really good it tastes really good yeah Cayenne pepp spicy jerky is you'll
eat it a little bit slower yeah otherwise you can like enjoy the package
a little bit it's easy to like destroy an entire bag of jerky yeah
okay oh what do you think what do you think of the maple one I liked it but I
like the I like the beef ones more personally well I'll just keep this then
yeah I love being the host because like Colton's been keeping
everyone else away from this stuff with a stick for the last week and he's been
saving it basically for us to sit on stream and eat it is that good that
good pretty spicy though
yeah oh I don't think I'm completely dying like with the reaper I never tried
The Cracked Pepper and sea salt one so I'm going to just eat wussy ones for the
rest of the show but there you you have it guys Savage
jerky I swallowed a little wrong there inhaled a little wrong trust me you
don't want hot jerky down your wind pipe that's bad um anyway Savage jerky.com
use offer code LT to save 10% lots of
different flavors and it's uh it's good stuff man so this one the ghost pepper
one is like a good top of my tolerance level spice I
think yeah like I had one I'm good for a
while like I'm okay I'm processing it
everything's fine until the reaper is
too much I'm actually usually pretty good with that yeah yeah I've never had
that problem that's far more detail about your uh bodily functions than I
ever cared to know but I guess I kind of invite it don't I we've shared it with everyone yeah on stream that's uh that's
the way we do it live and archived all right so
valve this is a huge move or
posted on RS Technica let's go ahead and get that I'm pretty sure this has
already happened with CSO just to add to that valve asks for
phone numbers to confirm Dota 2 player
identities and the idea is that this move would cut down on Expert players
intentionally smurfing noobs and if you're not familiar with the term smurfing then get off twitch because you
suck and cheat actually I'm I'm kidding because
I know a lot of people are here for our Tech show and not necessarily regular twitch viewers so smurfing refers to
creating a separate dummy car like dummy
profile that is a very low level so you can just like kind of sit with your
jackass friends and be like this guy
doesn't know how to play this game as well as me cuz I vlogged like 800 hours
so like I'm now I'm on a new account now I'm on a new account I'm just going to
like kick his ass it's just so great so I think the ghost pepper one sorry to go
back hits you a little bit later yeah oh my salivary glands are
like firing trying to like cool everything
down nice it's uh yeah I don't know the
these are maybe like for me at least like one strip every like while while
got it thankfully they are resealable packages uh
anyways yeah so the idea is you have to have an attached phone number this
should cut down on Smurfs like you were just talking about but also cheaters
because if your phone number is used and then you are banned I believe you cannot
reuse that phone number for 3
months three Monon oh so phone numbers
can't be passed between accounts without a thre Monon waiting period yeah so it
should reduce cheaters as well so if you can ceue up with only people that have
verified numbers M that means you'll have less cheaters and less Smurfs which
makes a way better comp competitive experience this I I'm like fairly
certain this is already in Counterstrike I guess I should have just checked chat
valve statement here players using multiple accounts create a negative
matchmaking experience at all skill brackets so our goal is to add just
enough friction to this process that the number of players doing this will be
noticeably reduced having more players using their primary accounts will have a
positive effect on both ranked and unranked matchmaking yeah so it's
already called CSO Prime you have a prime enabled account if you've attached
your phone number and that has made a significant positive Improvement in the
csgo community so they're spreading it over to J 2 you had an interesting
mention I haven't actually heard anyone bring up the fact that it reduces
anonymity in gaming it does until you said that but that is true and that's
something that a lot of people are are really feel very strongly
should be preserved but that's a Viewpoint that I've personally argued
against in the past I mean as but I okay
and all of this comes you have to understand take it with a a dumb truck
worth of salt because this comes from my
perspective as someone who has
willingly forfeited basically all of my
online privacy by being a web video
personality so I look at at I look at it
and I go well for me the the ways in which I could behave
like a complete ass hat online are
pretty limited because if anyone figured out it was me I I actually there are
people out there who know who I am I have a reputation to uphold anonymity
means you don't have a reputation to uphold you could be the nicest person
one day and the crappiest person the other day and there's basically no
consequences um and there's arguments to
be made the other way like anonymity lets you you know truly speak your mind
in a way that you couldn't but there are a lot of people particularly in The
Gaming Community that quite frankly I don't think should be allowed to speak their mind um I I'm letting him go I
disagree I'm just saying but I'm letting him go to get his point across so my so
basically I think that anonymity is the same as not having any
accountability and for myself I have
personally made the choice to Forfeit my
anonymity and I would love to be able to
reap the benefit of interacting with other people online who have willingly
forfeited their anonymity so that's what I like about this move from valve
they're not forcing everybody to do it yeah they're just saying if you
willingly give up that anonymity and you
are willing to tie your personal actual you to an actual Avatar in a onetoone
relationship then you get the benefit of interacting only with other people who
are also willing to do the same and I think that's a great move I I'm cool
with that concept at this level mhm where the anonymity loss is not public
but just to the let's say it wasn't valve see that's
that's where some of it loses me too because I don't want to give my phone number to just anybody um that that
becomes an issue even with valve and these big companies like what they do
with data is so sketchy we have a topic in here that we'll probably talk about
later where Bose has apparently been stealing people's data in terms of like
what music and podcast and stuff they've been listening to on their wireless
headphones which is like what the hell guys and apparently they have very
definitely been selling it which is just like so Garbo but we'll talk about that
later um from real so like I do not like
giving forward my information but at the same time if it's something fairly
minimal I don't really use my actual calling feature on my phone much anymore
and if someone calls me and it's not a number that's already in my phone I
pretty much don't pick up right um and like phone services and stuff now Auto
detect certain numbers so like if my ISP calls me it will tell me their company
name so they show up if it's a super random number I just don't pick it up so
I'm not that worried about that leaking
um I personally think this is a cool system when csgo Prime came out I jumped
on that as soon as I could which right because I I thought that was cool I
don't like losing my anonymity outwards to people that are playing the game sure
I hate that concept I hated so much when
YouTube was supposed to be like real names right that was stupid I hated that
that was a dumb idea um and I think the
internet agreed with me but losing a little bit just so that you can get rid
of all the like just terrible people not
all of them but a lot of the terrible people is pretty
cool especially when
like could you attach I wonder if you could attach like a Skype
number that I don't know or something that isn't like your real phone yeah
that's something I haven't really tried I mean I mean obviously there's the
whole other issue of like basically like burner numbers yeah
being very very inexpensive yes but but
you'd have to go out and do something that's good enough for me in my opinion
yep and it produces a convenience yeah if if you reduce the convenience because
like I would rather go out and get a burner number or go get a Skype number
or something I don't know if that works I don't even know if that's possible but
go do something that takes a couple steps so that it would increase the
barrier of like oh in 20 seconds I can
just be trolling a bunch of people and just be a giant jerk well okay now maybe
you have to go to the store and buy a pay youo phone or something like that
that takes more steps you have to actually like leave your house and go
deliberately do something the amount of people that will actually do that is pretty low and that I would be very
happy to live with comic saber asks why no S8 oh it's coming I filmed it today
um yeah basically we didn't get one early so there's
that all right did we did we make fun of the note too much or like no actually
well there I just I had so much to say about it that it was already going to be
like an 11 minute video without pre-roll and integration no I mean like the
reason why we didn't get it early oh no no we've just the our our our Samsung
contacts it's it's a it's a complicated thing I we're probably getting too far
into like the boring business of being a YouTuber right now but basically we are
physically located in Canada oh but the majority of our audience is in the
US so so for a lot of big
companies the US division can't talk to
us because we are on Canadian soil and
the Canadian division only wants to talk about
stupid Canadian things I feel like we should like when this phone is launching
on Bell I don't care when it's launching on Bell I want to know when the hardware
is available so I'll get these stupid
press releases like you know three weeks from now that are like oh can you
believe this phone's coming to Rogers and tell us and I'm like get review
units available I'm like what am I supposed to say about it at this point
thanks for nothing so I feel like we should just like incorporate in Delaware
and get like a get like a 100 ft
one-bedroom apartment in like nowhere
land what is what is this oh I'm just Oh
I thought it was something I thought you're going to like get the hammer and attack me or something no um like this
is exciting um what is that what does that
mem paint me scared but excited or
something like that I don't remember what it is but whatever um but yeah like
I I I almost it's a pretty big issue being in Canada yeah um
companies even when I like tell them we're in Canada and they're like oh yeah
we can have our like Canadian contact reach out to you I'm like please no
please don't do that and they're like oh no it's fine I'm like it is not fine it
is not fine at all nothing about this is
fine yeah um speaking of things that are
fine we've got some fine videos up on Flo playing Club right
now yeah so you guys have been hard at work on uh some pretty crazy stuff is
there anything that's not totally behind the scenes that we can talk about I mean
there's the call for coders there's the fact that we've basically revealed what
the platform is I was just going to say uh yeah I guess I can address some of
the comments on this yeah that would be a cool time if people have uh questions
in twitch chat and I see them through the blur of twitch chat I will try to
respond to them a lot of comments on
mainly the YouTube side not this side
we're just very odd our camera's gone by the way um we're just very very odd like
people people being like Oh yeah building a different version of YouTube
is a terrible idea and I'm like yes it is yeah that would be a terrible idea
that's not what we're doing did you watch the video I would invest exactly
zero dollars in that idea yeah that's that's horrible um people that think I'm
like asking for a lot I am definitely asking for a lot but they're like oh my
God one person can't build this platform on their own like I know that's why I
included the section about how they're going to have to collaborate with all of the other people that are working on the
project wo so so so many misinformation this is
about to turn into a this is about to turn into a rant isn't it uh oh a little
bit I'm holding back I'm looking for questions in the chat all right I'll talk about some of the uh some of the
videos we have coming up so we've got the tiny laptop tested someone's asking
if I did hair implants lately no we did a bunch of really cool testing on that
uh that super tiny GPD pocket laptop
including running games on it itself uh
using Game stream it's got a great really sharp 1080p IPS display really
cool little device so we've got our video up for that we've got the first
build guide in over a year the Thousand
gaming build guide with pyro Technics
that is real fire you haven't seen this have you no
that is that is most is that when you just I think I gave you the can for that
no it's it's definitely more compli Ste my signature move of including
what no no the computer is on fire in
this video don't worry about it okay so there's something maybe get Alex to work
on this I've wanted to do this since scrapyard Wars 4 uh I wanted to work uh
with Rod on this but it like it isn't really working out I want to look into
fire cooling fire cooling using fire to
pull the air through the chassis okay
could be done fire would consume air so you use it to pull through so get some
big heat sinks y okay get a fire going
okay fire cooling I like it yeah I like it cool something with heat um so other
things that we have on there right now we have the worst CPU Cooler ever uh
sketchy heat sinks episode two
oh man that thing really is abominable um Floatplane be open to other creators
underwater microphone for GoPro wow that's an amazing picture not
for a while yeah um not photoshopped very real okay the Dolphins are the
Dolphins are photosho where did you do that we have the RGB RAM Roundup
Neighbor's Pool and I think now we're caught up to uh to what's up on YouTube
RGB RAM Roundup yep it definitely is
2017 yeah dog
all right so why don't you address some of the questions that people have about
honestly a lot of it's going really fast and I haven't really actually seen a ton
of them oh okay how is Flo planing supposed to be different the video
confused me so uh if you remember vessel back in the
day there was an idea where a video would show up on vessel one week before
it showed up on YouTube and there were exceptions to this like wow or anything
that was extremely timely if a new just came out it would show up on both
platforms at the same time etc etc etc um Floatplane is going to accomplish
that and and hopefully much more it
should have different tiers the quality should be better um will it will
hopefully soon have its own platform which we are very actively working on um
like its own website yeah not just a sub Forum online tech tips.com which is
like the impation works but it is pretty
janky yeah um and so yeah it'll have
other tiers that people can subscribe at which will have other things that having
our own kind of CDN thing setup will enable us to give to the people that are
contributing the biggest difference I think from in terms of what we think
will make it a success business-wise is that instead of being a burden on the
Creator instead of being a contract that a Creator signs and commits to
like a onewe Early Access window that um
you know they are contractually obligated to uphold that could potentially hurt their ability to get
the best discoverability on YouTube and that's the strength of YouTube
discoverability and reach a broader audience we're not looking to damage
that so for us the way that creators
would use float playe club would
be up to them yeah so if they wanted to
go like a more Rooster Teeth type route and say okay we want a 4-Hour Early
Access window sure then we'd kind of go okay then go ahead and do that you know
whatever whatever your subscribers are
down for we think is totally cool we
just want to build the platform for them
and allow them to use it as they will and part of the the like mentality
behind it the whole time has been not trying to force people to stay there um
so we're going to try to have very transparent we've always I think I like
to think we've always been really transparent at lus Media Group we literally have a series called honest
answers where we explain like what
how do we make money how do you get review samples like things people really
want to know and we want to be transparent not only to users with fine
Club but also to creators um we're not going to have weird Shadow algorithm
changes that like screw with everybody we're going to be very open about how we
use people's data we're not going to sell people's data um etc etc etc so
yeah the idea is the idea is pretty simple we vessel shut down on us pretty
much overnight and we went wow thank
goodness we are smart and talented enough mostly what's sitting in that
chair um to replace this functionality
for ourselves what about other people who
were successful with a tool like vessel and who would want something like that
in the future or were interested what are they going to use or who are just
interested what about why why is it that you have to be a giant sort of Mega
publisher like college humor or Escapist magazine or Rooster Teeth that can
afford to develop your own platform in
order to move viewers off platform where the Creator can make a lot more per view
um and deliver additional benefits to the viewer why do you have to be a mega
publisher in order to achieve that and we don't think you should have to be so
that's the idea we're building something that we were going to build anyway for
ourselves because we have that capability now and then we're taking it
eight steps further to make it accessible to other people yeah that's
float planing Club so people can use it like he was talking earlier however they
want they can set up whatever tiers they want maybe they have a 14year
exclusivity window that would be a pretty bad way to use the platform I
think personally but they can do that if they want we like our one week model it
works for us in terms of like a pacing of how we work on videos someone in the
chat asked do Floatplane videos ever hit YouTube yes all of them yep that is
definitely the idea um sometimes the window ends up being longer than a week
because timely videos go in the slot that it's supposed to go in and it gets
bumped back and weird things happen but they always eventually Hit YouTube um
and honestly actually have a great example of that so see this the RX 570
and 580 review that went up simultaneously yeah and for that reason
going back further the red weapon unboxing is not up on YouTube yet even
though it was posted on float playing Club on April 13th yeah so something
like a Red Epic Unboxing those red red weap un boing is awesome I think it's
super cool I'm excited to see it not time sensitive yeah it's not a new
camera it's an equally relevant piece of content two weeks from now three weeks
from now quite frankly and a large
percentage of people you guys are watching way show you so you guys have
probably heard about Floatplane before but a fairly large percentage of people
when vessel died thought we just didn't have that anymore
right and didn't notice anything changed because nothing changed nothing
changed is you still get the exact same amount of videos they're just also
somewhere else a little bit early so if you're not interested in FL play don't
worry about it enjoy your life have a happy day yeah but if you want to see
some stuff in a place that honestly has better comments um and does have a less
cancerous comment section I'll say that and that drives us to engage with it
more too which is y there's more comments from internal staff on there um
a and like better bit rates in most scenarios cuz it's variable okay this
guy tried to ask this question question a handful of times would you guys ever
get people like team fourstar I have no idea what that is yeah do you know what
that is not a clue okay and how would you handle dmca so dmca would we would
handle it the same way we're required to by law yeah um as for creators I'm
assuming they're like edgy or something so at least for the foreseeable future
uh creators would be on an invitation only basis because it opens us up to a
lot of liability to be hosting video content from our site uh we would have
to make sure that it's people that we trust so you would expect the initial
roster to be people who we know
personally yeah and that's about it a big part of that is we don't want to
grow too fast and break the prop or
something got someone asking would we be able to make an exclusive series for
Floatplane club like nerd Sports was on vessel yes we would do nothing to
prevent a Creator from uploading exclusive content and using Floatplane
Club as so so you got to understand what the Creator page is going to look like
it's going to look like your page float plan Club takes only like the sliver
down the left and I think a top Banner yeah everything else is branded the
Creator and unless the person browsing
that page actively follows other creators we don't plan to have a ton of
discoverability tools included no the idea is that a Creator would be able to
direct their viewer to their page engage oneon-one and not have to to worry about
any BS that happens in between that so whatever it is that they want to deliver
we want them to have the ability to upload it manage it the way that they
want and deliver a really high quality viewing experience and because the
platform will be paid every view will be paid for at some point so people that
are subscribed to us on Floatplane Club right now are paying three bucks a month
um we can afford to do that and I've had people point out to me well YouTube
could flip a switch and double their bit rates I I disagree in fact I think that
because of their scale they're actually less likely to do that if it were to
cost YouTube a fraction of a cent more
to deliver each view that would actually add up to
something real yeah whereas if it costs us a fraction of a cent more to increase
the bit rate of every what do we care
yeah yeah it's a very interesting experience and like like he said with
the maybe stuff that doesn't go on YouTu or whatever a Creator can do that we
don't have any plans to do that um but a
Creator could do that if they wanted I actually have thought about it but just like cell phone
footage okay yeah not like real videos well that that would be maybe where like
we'd have like an additional feed y uh
because there's like there's a I'm not going to go way too into it right now
but the like the other section which
one po oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so it could just go in like a different
area watch the mic have picked that up anyways um people are asking what about
YouTube Red yeah what about it so YouTube Red is sitewide and includes
Google play music great product we think people should subscribe to YouTube Red
it dramatically increases the perview um
like the perview earnings for the creators that you love and uh there is
absolutely no reason not to continue to enjoy YouTube red I mean for us really
we want to challenge creators to come up with different and
new ways to make Floatplane Club worthwhile for their viewers so you know
we'd love to we're also not going to be the like developers developers
developers where we're just going to put it completely in their hands we'll have some like guidelines and suggestions of
how they can do stuff yeah so the idea would be like
um you know on YouTube Red it's pretty
straightforward you subscribe to YouTube Red you don't see ads that's it that's
all there is to it what if you had other ideas what if you had ideas like you
wanted a a subscriber only chat for the first half an hour what if you had ideas
like you wanted people to have custom emojis you know things that are
available on other platforms like twitch but not on YouTube what if you had ideas
like you wanted to have a mailing list like a newsletter or something you going
to do that through YouTube Red no so
it's it's a toolbox that's the idea yeah
okay well I don't want the whole stream to end up being about this although I
will say that we're we're not losing viewers people are apparently pretty interested in it but um let's go ahead
let's move on to uh some of the other stuff that's going on the original
article here is from CNBC Nintendo SN mini apparently the
rumor is allegedly Nintendo was discontinuing the NES mini in order to
make room for the SNES mini which will
rumored be ready for the end of the
year I love this sub headline here the
SNES had popular games including Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country
really the SNES had popular games you
have got to be kidding me no way
apparently some Nest classic consoles are on eBay for as much as five grand
that's stupid what anyway
um okay yeah that's pretty straightforward uh I basically covered
everything that was so the new SNES will also have plug andplay set up and an
array of games which come pre-installed and ready to play okay well like maybe
some random dude put one up for five grand that no one's
buying cuz there's other ones that are not
$5,000 they look like $200 to $300 on
average which is a lot but it's not five grand that's a little blown out of
proportion cosplay goes bad for a gamer
in Grand Prairie or goes really really
well I have an alternative take on this go for it though um
basically um the guy was walking around the street with wearing what looked like
a bomb on his back he was dressed as a character from Fallout wearing a gas
mask helmet armor and bullet belt carrying a flag that said new California
Republic so first up you're an
idiot so there's that little bit um at
least eight officers responded with their long guns drawn yes we do have
guns in Canada and yes if you walk around looking like you're loaded for
bear we actually have you will get them pull on you per capita Canada has a lot
of guns yeah I know like a huge amount compared to most countries um he was
observed going into a ly's alterations because he wanted some
alterations made to the costume through
conversation with the man police were able to determine that he was wearing a costume and that there was no threat to
the public what had looked like a bomb turned out to be several Pringles potato
chip cans that were painted silver the man was taken into custody but later
released without any charges and probably a Stern talking to about being
a complete idiot so I think this is fantastic for the guy like one of the
best things that could have happened to him reason being uh-huh a lot of
cosplayers want to get sponsored I'm settling in here he made a cosplay
costume that was good enough to fool the police to get guns drawn on him to get
him pulled in okay so I'm going to stop you right there and say you're as much of an idiot
as him I see
this you were there when we were doing
the first Channel Super Fun okay yeah on
the bug ass salt a bright yellow gun
they didn't draw guns on you though a bright yellow gun that fires salt to
kill flies they thought two officers
they have to respond if someone report
someone with a gun so it was an idiot neighbor it could have been any idiot
the police had to respond but there was eight of them and they drew guns okay
that's fair if I remember correctly they just walked up casually and were like
okay maybe don't walk around swinging it around cuz like your neighbors are crazy
they thought it was cool yeah they tried it yeah yeah they were actually pretty
cool cops like they they were they didn't draw guns it's a little bit
different so this guy can take this and go like look my cosplay is so good it
fooled eight different cops they drew guns on me it's impressive bring me to
your convention pay me to make a cosplay thing I'm there could be the best thing
that's ever happened to his career terrible um man claims this is from
rs.com his Bose headphones intercept
what he's listening to an Illinois man says my headphones transmit audio
metadata to data minor
segment.io why would they be doing this
brutal it's a claim the Civil complaint alleges that
Bose collects the names of any music and audio tracks played through the
headphones along with the customer's personally identifiable serial number It
also says this information gets sent to third parties including data miners
segment.io Bose's lawyers likely will argue that while it may be sending out
copies of the metadata artist song title Etc its actions do not constitute
contents of any wire or or oral or electronic communication as defined
under the relevant wir tap law therefore it could argue that they are not
liable the Counterpoint is that Bose's products interact with consumer
smartphones which transmit operational instructions regarding skipping and
rewinding audio tracks which would be content holy crap what the hell man
super lame don't like it at all like is it not enough to get the 299
that someone like no what are the wireless they're like 3.99 really
expensive they're really expensive you already got $400 for a bomb cost that
has got to be less than $100 we need
someone else to make really good active noise cancelling headphones Sennheiser
pxt 550s are very good I liked the I tried both of them the Bose ones were
way more comfortable they are more comfortable you just said really good
you didn't say really more comfortable really good is an over they sound really
good they sound better yeah I believe that I'm just saying yeah I'm just
saying which I found country say that
that I liked to the Bose comfort more because um I wear siser headphones and I
prefer szer sound signature and I'm very used to how most Sennheiser Headphones
sit on your head sennheiser's audio file line the HD line has a different feel
that I wish they would just abandon all their other feels and just stick with
yep but it's not very it it feels good
pable it's not very portable and it doesn't look very good yeah so I get it
but yeah yeah um Microsoft is doing its own
Chromebook thing it's kind of weird that's pretty cool so original article
here is from Tech crunch so it's supposed to be one of
those like educ Cloud kind of devices that's very targeted at education stuff
because it's supposed to be cheap spin effective um no pictures of it like you
just said but yeah low-end laptop
cloud-based Services all day battery quad core Intel seller on processor that
shouldn't be that bad I mean quad core so it's probably going to lose because
it's Microsoft's cloud services versus anything um
wow you're as Savage as this jerky oh
oh seriously though that's mean I mean
um is it wrong what's it called sky drive or one drive now I can't even keep
track anymore I think one drive one drive is it that bad I hate it you
upload the file don't like it I don't like it
either all right that it's
weird oh oh apple yeah apple whole home
water cooling heating you're ruining my buzz right now
okay you're just you're harshing it um
Apple originally posted by PC World will
return heat generated by the data center
to warm up homes so this is being done
in Denmark this is a new data center that's focused on returning to the
community so it's uh it'll be fully powered by
renewable energy part of it coming from recycling waste products from farms and
won't put stress on the local grid and they're making a major push to be one of
the greenest companies on the planet um the new corporate headquarters
that I wonder how much it costs in building materials and how much that all
harmed the Earth to salvage from wherever they got it anyway that's not the point um their new corporate
headquarters called Apple Park will run on renewable energy they've also cut
their use of toic materials and are using more recycled materials in
products and packaging pretty epic all
right I guess that's pretty much it yep
well thank you for watching The W show and thank you for participating in the W
show thank you as well thank you it's been it's been a good week yeah it
has so I ate this whole pack it's gone it'll take me a lot
longer to get through my mojo habanero I love the maple bacon I like the Mojo
habanero the ghost pepper one when I
pulled this out was when I could have had another ghost pepper one if I really
wanted to but it's like it's like just
slightly outside of my like comfortable tolerance level the Mojo habanero is
like right in where it's like all right this is 95% flavor 5% uncomfortable bird
that was the one with the Citrus right I think so that one's nice it's good yeah
anyway um sorry I got a little distracted lime juice is the second
ingredient intro outro it's the end and
then water and then orange juice and then lemon juice that makes sense why
you got Citrus oh I read the ingredients that's
why I said citus you want to do this you need to go
I filmed two videos and staying with me after work I would love to though I'll
leave it here soon # soon I will leave it right here as long as people don't
steal my stuff okay I can't promise no one will steal your stuff yeah look at
this PS the Sriracha bacon is amazing Colton Colton you're not on the W show
forget it stop trying to insert yourself into the W show he came and stole a bag
I know I hate that guy
