L show is not here lus dropped the couch
even though he's not here Austin probably would have helped me carry it the whole way oh I would totally yeah
definitely sure okay the sound part is probably done fresh books yeah fresh
books is awesome check out freshbooks.com and you have to put Wan in the who sent
you here part they do some really cool stuff for finances for small businesses
and other cool things like that also Dollar Shave Club you can use it to
shave hair on your face and the great doar sh club.com Linus back into the
show okay so Apple Apple watch Edition
thing okay so what do you think about just the fact that there's going to be a
10 to what like $18,000 Apple watch I
think that is a little insane but I'm
not too surprised considering it's it's a fashion wear item I'm not surprised I
don't think anyone should buy it I guess is what because like a lot of the
different changes that they've been doing since Steve Jobs passed makes me
not too surprised that they're going this angle um but yeah I just wouldn't
recommend it to anyone CU it's freaking 10,000 yeah that's I think that's an
interesting point because like you said like Steve Jobs never really did the
crazy high premium stuff like this right like yeah Apple products have always
been expensive more expensive than you know what maybe some people think
they're they're worth but it's not been anything crazy you know and an average
Joe could probably save up a little bit and get one exactly and I think that was
been that's been one of the the big draws of a lot of Apple products I think the iPhone's the Great example because
it's not really more expensive than most other phones at least if you're on
contract you you know everything's $200 whether it's you know HTC Samsung iPhone
so I think it was an interesting thing that everyone can buy an iPhone is the
exact same kind of like how like the old story of like you can buy a Coke and
it's the same anywhere it's the same price everyone can afford it so like I thought that was kind of an interesting
thing but you look at something like the the Apple watch Edition I mean this is $10,000 that's that's
crazy but I also don't think it's that crazy there are people who buy Rolexes
and I don't think anyone's going to walk up to you and say you know you kind of overpriced for that overpaid for that
Rolex you may want to reconsider there's this great Casio that's 15 $15 at
Walmart I mean I'm saying it just does the same the same things man yeah Casio
used open source software on this come onz so like I get it like like you said
I'm not going to buy an Apple Watch Edition that would be insane but I can't
hate on someone who does I mean there's people who pay you know tons of money
for like a gold Lamborghini I wouldn't buy one of those either but I'm not
gonna hate on you for buying one yeah so I don't know it is cool though that
they're letting you skip the lines I feel like my $10,000 is going to be well
spent cuz I don't have to stand in line with all the peasants who are buying their thousand watches I don't I don't
want to be associated with those guys I gotta go straight to the front of line
wow you sound like Linus right now um yeah and like I guess it's the same kind
of thing like I would look at a golden Lamborghini and go like wow that seems
like a very poor investment idea um and
I would look at a $10,000 Apple watch and be like wow that seems like a very
poor whatever but I'd also look at and go like oh that's kind of interesting
I'm not I'm not super personally interested in a golden Lamborghini I'm also not super personally interested in
$10,000 freaking Apple watch I wouldn't buy either and my mind has them so far
away from possibilities that I don't even like I don't even want it what did
you do with it I'm just starting to imagine like wearing a $10,000 watch like I wouldn't like someone sees it
they would just you know take it off my wrist i' it'd be stolen like a week you
know you scratch it and go oh that was $3,000 worth of gold I just left on that
countertop it would be horrifying I wouldn't even want one if I had one it
would just be like in a case I would I don't know just it's ridiculous to me
but then again I'm not the kind of guy who would ever buy a $10,000 watch anyway no but if you were do you feel
like you should be able to cut the line and have an extra 1eh hour private
consultation with an Apple Watch expert um one of my favorite things is how they
phrase it the the employees are being told that the journey for buying an
addition is intended to be extremely personal elegant and purposeful like oh
God by the way this elegant purposeful
Journey ends with you giving us a check for $10,000 don't forget that part right
it's it's super awesome but we want your money I think the bigger question about
this whole deal I don't I know we don't want to talk about the gold Apple watch for like 30 minutes but what are you
going to do with this thing next year when there's going to be a new Apple watch that's better like sure I can I
can see upgrading a phone like every two years right like it's okay it's a few hundred dollars but it's not nothing
crazy am I gonna have a $10,000 outdated watch a year from now yeah that's that's
a big thing too because the the Rolex example and the and the lambo example
like if you have a gardo gardo is still super badass in however many years it's
completely useless it's completely useless 12 months later dude I don't
know what you're talking about it doesn't even work anymore like if someone rolls up in a testera or a
freaking DeLorean okay we got to talk about that in a second um if someone
rolls up in a tester Roa like that's sick if someone has an old like however
old Rolex the older probably even the better to be completely honest it's
super badass this thing is going to be junk
the second one comes out yeah CU I mean like you said like you look at a Rolex
it's like such fine like machinery and craftsmanship like it's it's insane and
you know it does the exact same thing that every other Rolex has ever done it tells time and I mean obviously the
Apple watch does do more than tell time you got to give it some credit there but
I don't think it's going to have that same kind of of of Mystique 2 three 5 10
20 years from now as a really finally machine Rolex will so I don't know yeah
and like the the new brand new Rolex might be a better dive watch but it's
going to be just as good as telling at telling time as the new one most likely
so the Apple watch will be worse very
very objectively worse than the new one at doing a whole bunch of stuff whenever
the new one comes out unless they have some kind of like tradein program will
like they'll upgrade your watch or something which I I mean for $10,000 not
completely insane but still not like the
greatest Sol solution to having to send in your $10,000 watch ups every week UPS
guys like uh this box got lost so how
much bad sir so this comes with $100 of insurance do you want any more yeah can
I get $99,900 of insurance
added okay sure yeah Cas anyone in the chat
was wondering There's the link I should have posted that earlier that was my bad
um yeah I guess moving on Microsoft has
leash project Spartan preview with the next Windows 10 build another thing I
always warn people when I bring up Windows 10 builds is that there is a key
logger on Windows 10 I don't know if it's still there it definitely was there
before yes uh it's it's in the like terms of service or whatever when you
sign up and it's not there to harvest your password it's there to and like
they're very open about the idea that it's there and they're not trying to hide it um I don't know if it's still
there so if some I installed a Windows 10 build and I didn't know anything
about it so I don't know how open they're being I guess like there is a
key logger on your system but it's in like it's in the to or whatever you have
to read the fine print which is stupid I don't think accounts is open I think that's like if you're like what part of
the 0.01% who read that then I don't know
that's a little sketchy so what so what it for it's not for like just it it's
supposed to be there to see how people are using it and if if something breaks
and you like send the report they would have the key logger data of for the
report so they can kind of see like okay well they did this stuff and it broke
okay that makes sense that's what it's supposed to be there for it sketches me
out so I don't like it
yeah spart but yeah wo um I don't know
it's pretty cool apparently it's going to be replacing not completely replacing
Internet Explorer Internet Explorer will still exist but it will be replacing
internet Explorer's uh pinned and taskbar positions so pinned in the start
menu and pinned on the taskbar positions which will pretty much completely
replace it for a lot of the people that were using ie right and because the
reason why a lot of people are using yes and that is very true because a lot of
the reasons why people are using IE was because it was default and in those
positions right yeah um and it's also supposed to be faster right yeah it's
supposed to be faster there's a whole bunch of other really cool features like uh annotation notes so you can
essentially take like a snapshot of a web page but it's still a bit functional
it's it's not a screenshot you can still click on links and everything and you
can like draw on it and you can collaboratively mark it up so like if uh
if I was working on a this is I actually really like this if I was working on
development of a website I could send someone like I I'm sure they have a word
for it that I'm not properly calling it but I could send someone this this
snapshot thing that I'm talking about Mark it up with like okay I I I want
this padding to be a little bit wider I want this color to change I want all
these things done um I'm going to work on this part if you can do those we'll
like Mark it up and then send it to them and it you can still mess with it you can still click on things I think that's
really cool OB a Google Docs screenshot kind of yeah yeah kind of um it's it's
locked in time so if there was updates onto that page like if someone did an
edit or something you wouldn't get that edit right but it's still clickable and
you'd be able to like watch the embedded YouTube video that might be there or
whatever which is actually pretty cool I do that so I tried I played around with
the the very original like project Spartan renderer uh in the first build
of Windows 10 I did a little bit of a browser test and uh I remember finding
that that it was it was not a huge difference I don't think it had changed
any part of Internet Explorer besides the JavaScript side and it was pretty
much caught up with like Safari and you know Opera and Firefox and chrome so I'd
be interested to see if it's kind of caught up on the rest of the the browser
side uh stuff with this newer build because from the early side of what I
saw it looked pretty decent it looked like it was kind of a browser that I actually wouldn't mind using yeah and
the Cortana integration is genuinely interesting sorry I'm doing something on
the computer for a second but um like I like that it's supposed to be the
personal idea that's actually really cool because and this gets I think
overshadowed a little bit um but if you
look on a restaurant's website I was doing this literally today um it it can
give you essentially quick links to stuff like their menus or if there's
like Yelp reviews those will be there like everything kind of comes in on the
side and if I'm like oh uh beat Nick
beastro this place that I've gone to a few times do they have a breakfast menu
this is exactly what I was doing um yeah it's like I I I don't know where is it
okay our food is apparently their menus tab like it it would have been not that
much easier but easier if it just popped in the side bunch of reviews of their
food uh where their menus are all that kind of stuff super easy to find I like
that is Time Savers are great personal assistants are a really cool idea so the
question is do they actually have a breakfast menu they do but yes when you
click on the breakfast menu it's just like brunch menu oh that's that's not a
breakfast menu that's a brunch two yeah it's title it's titled breakfast menu
you click on it it gives you an image and like on the the image of the
physical menu that you get it's like brunch menu okay were there like
breakfasty kind of foods on the brunch menu at least a couple breakfasty kind
of foods it opens at I think 10 or 10:30
yeah that's definitely kind of a brunchy sort of thing all right I I'll allow it
sounds good I'll allow it they can continue to exist yes so far but they
need to be careful with this brunch nonsense
anyways the project Spartan preview will be available in build uh
1049 so 10 that's my favorite build I don't obviously it's 10499 we we hang
out anyways I need to jump back a little bit and ask you the DeLorean what's up
with the DeLorean okay so need to know
so I posted on Instagram last night I think it's the title is like new Whip
and it was a picture of a DeLorean uh no I didn't actually buy DeLorean so many
people are like oh dude do a video on it this that I was just at a museum and
there was a DeLorean there I just took a picture I didn't think anyone would
believe that I actually bought a DeLorean although I will say that's on
my bucket list of things that at some point in my life I would like to own a
DeLorean yeah but that one was like 80 grand and I was not g to spay $80,000
for DeLorean so maybe when I find like U
when the Apple watch like when people start trading in their apple watches they might like trade in a DeLorean and
like I can get it for like a little bit of a better price but uh no DeLorean
just yet so that's fantastic the reason why I was so excited and the reason why
I asked was uh my car that I bought when I was like 16 or whatever I rode that
thing directly into the ground and its engine like partially blew up on a
bridge and then good job good job thank you thank you it was fantastic when I
replaced that I had I hadn't been looking into buying cars for a super
long time so I was like you know what I should try to get a DeLorean and no joke
that actually happened and I did a whole bunch of research and I like actually
sourced down some people that had DeLorean and I found some that were a
lot more affordable than 80 grand um but they wouldn't be as in good shape at all
right not even remotely so a lot of it was going to take a lot of work
especially aesthetic work like repairing some of the panels which is not fun what
is it stainless right yeah so oh yeah well isn't the the uh the company that
bought like didn't one company buy like all of the parts yeah this giant
Warehouse full of like brand new DeLorean Parts I think it's like Washington maybe I actually yeah but
I've seen like the videos of I think it's actually still called I think they bought like the the name like DeLorean
Motor Company everything like I know they were building like some plug-in
hybrid versions of like new DeLorean with all the old 80s Parts yeah it's
really cool I don't know if they've actually done it but I know they were talking about like prototypes and stuff
so wow I that's pretty sick that would be interesting to pay attention to but
yeah I just thought it was funny that you posted I wasn't sure if you bought it or not but I was like oh I was
surprised at how like I felt like most people realized it was a joke but a ton of people thought I was real I was like
yeah wow okay cool thank I appreciate the vote of confidence and everything
think I'm that kind of baller who owns a DeLorean thank you guys in advance but
sadly I don't quite live up to your expectations just
yet that's awesome what what gave me the
little bit of thought that it might not have been real was that it was just like that very small section of the car and I
just felt like if it was actually yours you'd take like a picture from the inside or something oh you feel like a
lot of thought in this I did I did I got really excited man you you could have
asked me right well I wanted to ask you on the show
I I was like because I saw the Instagram post last night and I was like gonna
send you a message and then I was like I'll just ask live I just took because
it was parted by like two other cars so I got got got the closest shot I could
other cars like oh my garage
guys you should have got it with the two other cars and then said it was your
Gage oh yeah then you know there's like a Camaro and a Lamborghini all my cars
don't worry whatever that's cool actually that was lonus say Lamborghini but you know yes yeah he was just
visiting right anyways next up we have
the HTC1 uh E9 plus their latest fablet
with a stunning screen apparently stunning stunning it has a where's its
DP uh 534 PPI there we go yes 5.5 in
Quad HD display um although the website
listed as a 1080p resolution so I think they probably just screwed up because
that's what the M9 is right yes yeah pretty sure that was just a mess up yeah
but I mean a 5.5 in 2560 x440 screen
that's you know it's okay I mean you know it's it's got a couple pixels like
534 per inch per inch you know if I was
going to put like a random number like just take a guess 534 is you know um so
it's half metal and half plastic so this is going to be I guess is this going to
be a step down from the M9 or is this supposed to be like another
Flagship uh I I don't know it's interesting they've screwed up a lot of
their own specs which is frustrating because uh like you said the screen but
then there's also RAM it's supposed to be 3 GB on website it listed as
two it's also got a mediatech chipset which yeah kind of tips me off it's
probably not all that high end yeah and then and then HTC's been doing a lot of
Full Metal and this is half and half right exactly yeah actually the E if I
remember right the E Series actually has been like the the step down from the N
series I think so Mak sense I hope I'm right I don't know that off top of my
head but that would make a lot of sense considering the plastic and considering the M Tech chip yeah so it's cool
there's no price or release date or anything yet actually it's I just realized it's 7.49 mm thin thick I feel
like that's actually quite a bit thinner than the M9 I think it's like somewhere
in like the eight eight and a half neighborhood I should probably double check what I'm saying before I say it
but give me one quick second for some reason Nick is calling me I have no idea
why what's up Nick you're on speak that's a that's a terrible thing your is
way lower than Aus oh uh oh so yeah just
wanted to let you know okay thanks Nick
thank you bye you sound fine on my end
that's weird yeah I don't know what's going on with that I checked the chat a
few times and didn't see that H you want
to turn yours down a little bit okay yeah some people are talking about it I
don't know why I took them almost 20 minutes they were probably doing the
whole time I just wanted to bug people but so you want mine down or do you want to turn yours up I can turn mine up a
little bit I'm try okay I can turn mine down but I don't want to like mess it up
cuz I'm on Skype right now so skype's automatically changing so I don't know
how much I can turn it down a little bit I turned mine up a bit um we'll see how
that goes hopefully that works I'll check in the chat in a little bit uh
moving on from unreleased a whole bunch of data messed up phones um we have the
Amazon testing delivery drones in a secret location in Canada which ISR
DC which is great cuz that's where I'm from and this is awesome and I have no
problem with it see you guys are like like cheating here right Amazon was
doing all this kind of cool stuff and then you guys get all their awesome
drone technology like come on like they they got to share with us like guess FAA
is being yes the FAA are are being butts
about it which they might have some good ideas but I'm happy that they're testing
it here I think that's cool I like how Amazon was just like oh we we'll just
you know walk upwards a little bit Yeah I wonder is there some other place on
Earth we could do this exact same testing actually isn't Amazon based in
like Seattle like isn't that just like that's what I mean like just go up like
a little bit that's why I said BC there's a lot of reasons why BC is
probably where this whole secret Center is but BC makes a ton of sense for a few
reasons um but yeah they they didn't even they probably just drove like drove
a truck up with some of their equipment they're like all right cool we're here
testing time yeah that didn't take that long I was talking to a friend of mine I
was like well even if Canada decides to freak out which they probably won't
because Canada has essentially been like you can do whatever you want because we
need more of VI up here um I like it yeah I'm I'm down with that too but even
if Canada said basically no um Amazon
could probably just like buy an island and just test them there they already
have at this point yeah like you're not going to stop them from trying these
things out just I don't know go with it so so I think it's interesting because
what they didn't they do the original like that ad was it a year ago or was it
two something like that it was a while back yeah yeah yeah so I I remember when
I first saw that it seemed so ridiculous it seemed like there was no way that
they were actually going to do this but come on but it seems like you you hear
stuff like this and you know they've said on record yeah this is actually a thing we want to do it might be three
five seven you know it could be a long time in the future but this is something
that we're interested in looking in and so I kind of got to thinking about it and the amount of packages that Amazon
actually ships via UPS FedEx post office that kind of stuff that's got to be
enormous right like it's got to be just a huge huge amount and I I felt guilty
on multiple occasions when I buy like a $5 like tube of thermal paste and I have
it overnighted via Prime to my house like $2 like this totally cost them so
much more money than it was actually worth I almost feel like kind of guilty
about when I do that so you think maybe this drone stuff while it still is going
to be massively impractical and only for like a few places you know even in the
best case scenario but maybe this is kind of like a way of hedging their bets
and not giving you know UPS and FedEx piles of money to ship everything all
over the place that's that's honestly
probably really good point especially with um looking at what is it called
give me a second here I'm going to try and find it in the dock but anyways they're releasing these little buttons
have you seen that oh yeah dash dash yes the dash go buttons or whatever um I
know it's a transitionary thing until they get something else set up or
whatever and there isn't a ton of products that it's available for so far
and some people thought it was an April Fool's joke which it I did I abolo yeah
CU it was on the 31st and I just I saw a bunch of people tweeting it and like
that was because people got I guess the last couple years people have been starting April first or April fools
early so I saw on my Twitter I like whatever I go to amazon.com it's like
this giant thing right on up front I was like really I so I I signed up um
because it's free for if you have uh if you're a Prime member I think you can
get up to three buttons probably should double check that yeah you can get up to
three buttons um pay after that I have
no idea what you do after the first three buttons I don't know if they'll even give you more than three um I have
no idea but I think they yeah you can get up to three um they're for various
different products so you can get like you know you hit the button and you know
it'll automatically order you more laundry detergent or diapers or whatever
I think it's about 18 different products yeah tide Huggies all kinds of stuff so
you know when when I need more diapers I just hit the button yeah so I know they
they use the picture of like you put the tide button on your your washing machine
where do you put these other buttons where where do you put the diaper button where do you put the the toilet paper
button I just just trying to think of am I going to have a house full of buttons
everywhere I just want to walk in go I want some of this I want some of this I
want some of this $300 oops oops yeah oh
oh oh my oh my I I yeah I don't know I I
think with especially a lot of the stuff that's in this program the drones would
make sense the button placement thing is pretty funny I think this isn't going to
make a ton of sense for people that have like little kids and stuff yeah I think
there is oh button fun to press $33,000
all automatically shipped with drones you can't like a pallet of diapers show
up at your front door you're like H not again yeah yeah I just oh man ridiculous
and they're like oh yeah if there's if you don't want anymore you can just
cancel it on your phone I'm like yeah well if it's already at my house I
didn't know like yeah it emails you or whatever okay I'm at work you shipped
within an hour cuz you're amazing in Amazon and now I can't cancel my like so
what I've got the question is what what's the deal with these buttons right they seemed very small so they I believe
they they connect to your phone right I was wondering about that and
like I was wondering about battery life and stuff too yeah exactly um and then
these are pretty much one use buttons right like you use it I don't know a
year or two use it for a few times and like what the battery gives up and you throw it away that seems kind of a
little sketchy to me yeah it does seem a little bit ridiculous um it's a cool
idea but I don't know how practical it's going to be if especially in the long
run and like I know they've already basically publicly said that it's a
transitionary piece right um so they're
planning on having other ways of doing this like I think I think the idea is
that there's supposed to be a dedicated Dash like uh um wow the scanning code
that people QR code I think there's supposed to be a dedicated Dash QR code
in all the products or some other version of a code some scanning bar or
whatever that your phone can read I think that's the eventual plan but until
they get a whole bunch of people on that um maybe not going to happen which is I
don't know a little bit weird but maybe the year year and a half two years might
oh man I'm going to say tide and that's one of the companies that signed up for this but might tide people over um until
they actually get this other system implemented yeah and I think on top of
that you look just a little bit more uh into the future I believe uh H I'm I'm
going I'm going to say this and it might not be wrong I believe was it Samsung
was uh the company who said that they want all of their products to be
connected within the next like five or 10 years so you can imagine you go up to
your refrigerator and you could have tide or sorry tied Dash built in so you
can just look through maybe you can even automatically see what youve got and
like you scan it or whatever and you put it in you know it can keep track of you
know if your stuff's about to go out a date if you need to you know get some
more milk or whatever and it can automatically be set in so yeah I definitely feel like dash for a lot of
reasons is sort of like a a stop Gap like a little bit of a transition
between you know just having to order stuff on Amazon and not remembering and
just realizing it's way easier just to go down to the store as opposed to waiting or if it's just something simple
like your refrigerator automatically orders when you need more eggs or something I think that's kind of where
this is all headed yeah and speaking of where this is all headed because that
was basically the best segue I've ever heard another topic that we have um not
even just that but what you were just talking about IBM new Internet of Things
unit IBM is investing $3 billion over the next four years to solidify its
efforts in The Internet of Things space so people like like Samsung like you were just talking about all their
products need to be connected are very possibly going to work with people like
IBM IBM is just like massive patent house that just does the back end of
like everything ever and well that's interesting to think of IBM as a massive
patent house you know I usually don't I wouldn't think of them like that but you
know what you're totally right that's actually an interesting way of of looking at it wow I guess that's what
they are well they've got3 billion doar to to to throw around what over the next
over the next four years they're a huge company they just don't have a ton of
almost any any anymore did they get rid of all their consumer focused stuff oh
dude I can't think of anything off the top of my head that's I know they got rid of their like laptops and desktop
kind of computer stuff not even that long ago yeah they sold that to Lenovo
right yeah they moved off hard drives uh
yeah I don't think sorry servers servers and stuff I guess yeah but that's less
consumer focused right yeah interesting so I think the interesting thing about
this is that you look at IBM you look at all these different companies who are
pouring tons and tons of money there's I don't know I I feel like the
internet have things and wearables I think a lot of these things although they're separate categories but I feel
like a lot of these things are kind of converging I remember I was at like a CES I think it was like two or three
years ago and it was at the Intel uh CES conference and they were talking about
yeah we can't wait until you know the costom computes basically nothing right
you can have you know a chip that's able to you know connect to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth or whatever in everything you
could have it you know it's just it's it's essentially free you tiny tiny tiny
little chips that you could put everywhere I feel like at first I was like yeah yeah right okay
uh I'm going to have you know a a Wi-Fi connecting table and all this kind of
stuff but you hear more and more like stories about this it's like wow this is
actually kind of happening that's cool I think we'll see yeah yeah i' I've been
one thing that I always really liked was the what was it like the original was
wasn't it called the surface way back in the day the Microsoft table Yeah the the
big table yeah yeah yeah and when they ordered pizza with that thing that was
so sick the guy was just like I want some pizza and just I think he something
and threw his credit card on it it just scanned his credit card and pizza showed up I was like that's so cool I want my
table to be connected why not wasn't Pizza H one of like the very first
websites that you actually like online order pizza yeah pizza's like the thing
that drives all technology progress if
you use a computer today you owe it to Pizza take a little bit but but mostly I
me guess what the guy who designed that computer you're using right now he
probably ate a lot of pizza he probably did you're welcome Pizza when I was
doing a lot more devel helping stuff I I was eating a lot of pizza no seriously
dude you know what when I make my videos a lot of time I eat pizza oh my God
that's amazing can't believe this is we found like what is actually driven the
unifying force of the universe yeah so Pizza Pizza thanks Pizza We Appreciate
You teenage mut Ninja Turtles they knew it all along oh I found the dash article
so I'm going to post this in stream like totally nowhere close to when we were
talking about it but um just in case anyone wanted to uh read up more on that
there you go I don't know I've had a lot of people telling me that's super stupid
I don't really think it is I think it's it's fine it might need to be deployed
in specific ways like if you have a little kid like make sure they can't
press it um if like like I could see
myself using them more likely I don't have Prime but maybe it's an interesting
idea one thing that I'm worried about is that there's not a ton of products on it
so far right and the but are not programmable from what I've seen they
all have like their own you know the graphic of whatever brand that you're so
it's like Gillette or whatever so that button only going to be useful for one
thing which is a little little weird but little little weird and a lot of the
brands that they're signing up for are like premium Brands a lot of times I buy
super Cheapo stuff yeah so Point might not be super useful for me but
especially like the single home thing where it's like
one person living there you buy something you're probably going to have
it for a long time and then once it runs out you're going to be like oh crap I
haven't thought about this cuz I haven't had to buy it in 2 months so okay being
able to press the button is kind of cool and then you don't have little kids pressing it and all that kind of stuff
but I do worry about uh also social
implications of it my buddy comes over and sees a tide button it's like what's
that click click click click click click click click click click click it doesn't do anything click click click click oh I
think you need a better buddy if that's the case yeah I know but like it's I
don't know it's possible or like yeah yeah if one of my friends happened to
have kids and came over and their kids were there or whatever and they press it
like I don't know there's there's weird stuff like that it is it would notify you of course but I don't know it's it's
I'm I'm really interested to see what people think about this in six months
after it's released like if people are actually using it what people have to
say about it all that kind of stuff yeah
all right moving on so there's the 20th anniversary
gtx980 yes that is
oh well the isu's 20th anniversary yes
so what it clock at actually it's like some insane like clock right out of the
box right hopefully it's not in the notes for some reason Nick what are you
doing um I remember reading this earlier today I'm going to try and pick it up
it's it is it's supposed to be isn't it the fastest out of the box 980 you can
get I think the whole yeah I believe so actually you know that's weird they
don't actually have it on the ASUS
page yet safe mode it's really cool guy
it's fast just cross fast faster mod which is actually kind of cool which is
helpful for people if they're doing ln2 which will be probably not many or
nobody in the audience but it's possible there's an RGB light it looks freaking
badass and it's supposed be super fast out of the box which is cool hopefully I'll be able to check it out um and let
people know what's going on 14 phase power design which is actually pretty
sick um we don't see that that often I think like some of the Kingpin edition
cards and stuff 14 P power um zero DB
fan mode although lonus has posted a video on how to do that on pretty much whatever you want yeah don't don't don't
deal with this stuff just watch the video it's all you actually need to know like these companies can pretend to do
it but Lion's made the video that's all you really need yeah yeah essentially
they didn't even release a graphics card until lonus makes a video exactly it's
it's all because of lonus we all understand it lonus and pizza Make the
World Go Round yeah basically mainly
pizza but lonus too yeah lus has to review the pizza
oh that needs to happen yeah that does need to happen lose uh McDonald's oh
that was so good that was so good that was awesome
wasw awesome so there's not a ton else to say other than uh about that card
until we get it in hand other than that 14 face power design zero DB fan
technology memory defroster a bunch of stuff for those kind of guys um one
press V BIOS reload which is actually pretty sick especially if you're going
to be screwing around a lot um which is
very probable if you're buying this card yeah um yeah I don't know pretty sick I
like to test it so hopefully we'll get one and I'll like you guys know later Samsung is launching three more curved
PC monitors so lonus is probably freaking out about that over in wherever
the hell he is right now he's been going to many many places I'm going to post
this in the chat as well I'm doing a better job of that right now um I'm a
little bit disappointed that I think they're all 1080p yes so it's a 24 in a
27 inch and a 31 in yeah so they started
300 bucks so I think that's by far the cheapest curve monitor right
right I'm not entirely sure about that you're probably right as far as I off
the top of my head I think you're right but I haven't checked that so I don't know I'm I'm good at saying things and
then like half second after I say it's like oh I'm actually not sure about that
yeah yeah that's the cheapest I think
maybe probably my favorite thing to say is that's just a theory though that's
just a theory I need to use that I need to use that um anyways I I'm a little
bit disappointed that the 1080p just because the curve monitors that I've
tried in office that were 1080p were
felt worse than a flat T um I think just
cuz I noticed the resolution more um but
the the like Ultra rides that we have that are 1440p and above are super crisp
and very nice so yeah I don't know I'm sure lius is going to try and get his
hands on some of these so we'll probably see a review of that and he's done way
more work with the new monitors than I have so I'm sure he'll have something to
say about them being 1080P or not um
they've been bragging about the the I mode and the just natural eye saving eye
fatigue saving stuff of curved monitors I've never had a problem with that yeah
I have a whole bunch of monitors all the time so I don't know my need to be saved
apparently yeah yeah I don't I don't I don't know but that that's one thing
I've been thinking about too is like it's it's a I'm I'm going to always turn
my whole head so I don't know I I'll be I'll be looking directly at that monitor
or I'll be looking directly at this monitor oh right right my eyes are
usually facing straight forward I'm not like looking out of the corner of my eyes at thing all the time things huh
okay which I think might be what they're talking about it might not be I don't know but the ey saer mode specifically
decreases the amount of blue light emitted by the displays not the I I know
they're talking about the natural curved can save your eyes um that way but the
ey saer mode is reducing the natural blue light Sent up displays which is
interesting speaking of different colors of light um I don't know why I'm
bringing this up right now but in fire engines they illuminate the cab with red
um not just cuz it's a fire engine but because red doesn't um change your pupil
seriously yeah so you can look directly into red light and nothing will really
happen all right that sounds like really dangerous advice it's not good it's not
like don't don't take a laser pointer and be like look nothing's going to happen that's stupid don't do that um
but that's interesting though so red light is is easier on your eyes then yes
and when I bought my car I was super disappointed cuz I had heard that blue
light wasn't good and mine is Illumina
by a blue light and I was like what are you doing why did this happen that is
ridiculous just put like red tape over all the blue lights in your car like
there done but that's why that's why if you've heard of them there's a program
for Android phones I don't know if it's on iPhone or not Android phones uh
called Twilight and there's a program on desktop for Windows and probably Mac as
well um called f.lux or just flux I
always say flux yeah flux yeah both those oh so you're aware both those
programs will will increase red light oh yeah I guess that is what they
do isn't it yeah yeah I've heard of and increase red light so it's easier to
look at yeah I just stare at really bright blue screens 24/7 so yeah yeah
you know yeah me too I I tried uh flux
and then after a while I was like H I'm just going to stay up till 6:00 a.m.
anyways yeah difference yeah whatever I
know my timing is going to be way off it's fine this would be helpful if I
actually cared about my Health but I don't think we have the luxury of that
cuz we're on computers all the time yeah
and then we're filming with giant light boxes like you have in the background
going right at your face which has got not be good the the the horrible Perils
of our jobs of sitting in our offices and sitting on computers all day is
really Terrier yeah oh my oh you should
feel bad for us so unhealthy yeah all
the time speaking of feeling bad uh parents who don't stop children playing
Call of Duty and other games of that style the title's a little bit
sensationalist it just says playing Call of Duty but yeah like game aggressive
gameplay stuff high rated game plays uh will be reported to the police um Warren
schools in the UK
crazy nothing about this I I like absolutely nothing about this entire
story right so it's not all schools in the UK or anything I believe it's it's
it's 16 schools and they've stated they would call the police and Social
Services if children reveal in the playground they have been playing adult
themed games several children have reported blah blah blah blah the games
are talking about with levels of violence and sexual content such as Call
of Duty Grand Theft Auto Dogs of War and
other similar games that are all inappropriate for children yeah crazy
and this is like including everyone under 18 plus as far as I that's crazy
okay I can understand maybe like a six or seveny old probably should be playing
Call of Duty or or Grand Theft aut like if it's like if they're if they're
looking at elementary schools and if if
like what they do is they like maybe call and talk to the parents uh
paraments talk to the parents about the possible implications of letting their
kids play this and be like maybe you shouldn't blah blah blah blah blah like
maybe that's fine but once you're in high school like I don't
know a single dude that didn't play games that were 18 plus yeah of course
that's insane and not only that it's not like they're just calling they're
reporting to the police and as like an incident and and social services so they
can like that's CRA this seems to me
like a school district who's just trying to like really like make some news and
say oh we're gonna crap down on those video games that are killing our kids
for it just seems kind of sensationalist and they're just trying to to get the
the word out but this is this is this is messed up on a lot of levels I mean
parents were also warned about their youngsters uh being allowed to have
access to social media sites such as Facebook and WhatsApp because it could
make them vulnerable to sexual grooming first of all I did not need to
know that that was a term second of all
second of all okay again I can see some
like nugget of of like real information here like yeah you probably should have
a little kid you know having Facebook or Whatsapp okay I can kind understand with
the argument of I don't want the crap that I did when I was 14 to be on the
internet exactly yeah I just
don't no wait do do we need to pause and do we need to discuss something right
now we super don't need to discuss anything right now at all that's totally fine um but like ah I just just maybe
have an advisory thing I yes I think it's very hamfisted of this school board
to just come out here and do this but an ulterior motive for them might be to
bring this issue up and have someone go like whoa whoa whoa let's draw back and
set up a system here which is much less aggressive um and maybe that's actually
what they want I hope that's actually what they want because if if someone's
in elementary school and has a Facebook account and is posting everything they're doing all day on the Facebook
account maybe that's a little weird May
scary yeah their parents should maybe look into that I don't know that's their
decision and if the kid is playing Call of Duty uh they're probably getting
ripped on by whole bunch of old people and might even be beating them because
little kids seem to be pretty good at first person shooters there's a yeah that is something I've noticed a lot of
kids who are like somewhat younger can be incredibly good at things like Call
of Duty I it's a little weird to me maybe they're like
maybe skills man exactly but like I just
think the the thing with this is that it
seems ridiculous like I I get it right a lot of parents pay zero attention to the
ratings of games and you know they'll let a little kid play like Grand Theft
Auto right okay probably not a good idea
but I can't I mean there PE like little kids get to watch movies and all kinds
of TV shows that are you know adult themed and I mean that's just like kind
of normal right like that's not something that's completely in Ane and
crazy and you need to call the police and Social Services about like it's
something that yeah parents probably should pay a little bit more attention to but to call the the police because
some 15-year-old kid in school's like oh I was playing Call of Duty call the
police yeah yeah exactly that's that's insane to me like I can't even begin to
imagine how they would actually enforce that and what what what are the police
going to do right you get some some school calling up like uh so one of our
15-year-old students who playing Call of Duty okay all right we have some
important stuff to do have a good yeah exactly yeah so I just this everything
about this everything about this just makes me sad and not I'm not going to
tell anyone how to raise their kids because I I don't want to do that but I
I feel like like if the kid wants to do it at some level they probably will so
like if you're like oh you can't play shooter games he's going to go to
Johnny's house and play shooter games over there if you tell him he can't
watch that movie he's going to go on his laptop in his room or his phone or his
tablet or or whatever the heck internet of things and just watch it there like I
I don't know yeah I think having the discussion about like oh oh it's it's
not real you probably knew this but it's not real those are just pixels it's not
the same at all you can be a super nice kind-hearted person and play GTA all you
want and everything could still be fine um right and like talking about the
differences of like okay don't kick and punch your friends in the face at school
just do that NVIDIA games don't do that and you'll be okay yeah I don't
know just having those like very obvious conversations is probably not a bad idea
manting things will very likely just make things worse I just tell you this
just seems to me like every year or two
some things gotta like there's got to be some controversy or something go video
games they're terrible for people and then everyone calms down everyone
forgets about it and it's no big deal I feel like this is just another one of those things where some school district
is wanting to make some attention make some news and you know it's going to
blow over and whatever so but it's just it just annoys me that that video games
are still ragged on like this when I me there there's so much advantage to
playing video games as far as like just you know being able to like get friends
and be able to like everyone like come and hang out and play Mario Kart or
GTA whatever yeah I it's it's held one
of my friend groups together completely that's completely the reason why it has
is because we'll all come together and play games or play games on the internet
that's I I find it's a really good way to keep in contact with friends that I
had in high school and stuff because even if they moved away or I moved away
or whatever you can still play online which is a really good way to yeah so
the third thing we've learned this show pizza is great we love lonus and you
should play more video games yes success all right next fantastic moving on to a
more uh uplifting story I think this is
freaking amazing I'm a huge fan of this product it is called uh Volvo life paint
so which is a great name life paint yeah it's fantastic so to uh it's invisible
like daylight so if there's a lot of light on the object it's not visible but
if there's not much light on the object as far as I can tell it glows white yeah
yeah I think it's a white glow I'm gonna share my screen here for a second so
what it does is it shines brightly in with like the glare it's kind of like a
reflective sort of thing where like if you're driving around the corner and you know it's like headlights hit it it'll
bounce back like I can't tell you how many times I I can't tell you but it's
not been that many times but it's happened to me before where I'm driving through a neighborhood I'll come around
a corner it's in the middle of the night and someone's walking around with like a black hoodie on like in the middle of
the street like don't do that that's a bad idea right but if I have some like
stupid you know reflective thing where I'm driving around I see someone shiny
with this life paint then I might not hit them because that would be bad y so
it's supposed to be reflective stuff that is kind of held together which is very cool and yeah reflective was the
best term for it um I I think it's great
especially because of exactly what you just said I've been a biker or I was a
biker for many years when I was was going to University that sounds badass
just throwing that out there what a biker I I didn't mean motorbike I was
like a pedal never mind I I take it back I take all those cool points and you
just lost a few I did I was like that kid in Pokemon who like got the bike
vouer and was like yeah I'm going to go to school I can save my 1 million
credits now yeah exactly yeah that money
I would have never made I wonder if someone saved up to now no dude the cap
was like 999,000 right so you couldn't get it yeah I don't think you could have
yeah has a whole point that makes sense I try I'm pretty sure yeah
yeah um epic references but yeah like
this would have been really nice while I was doing that and I think the other
unintended fantastic part about this is you can spray things and then they won't
show up in daylight and they'll show up later on so you could like spray
explicit things which are funny people spray on stuff that look like elongated
somethings and you can leave them wherever the heck you want and people
won't know that's fantastic now you could it washes off after a week so it
even disappears after a while it's it's literally perfect it's perfect it'll
save lives and you get to paint things
on things and be able to see things in certain light yeah so like buddy passes
out of the party just turn the lights off spray some stuff on him no big deal
he can go to work it's fine he could be on his face and he could still go to
work and everything would be fine and then you turn the lights off and then he
get he gets home it's been a long day at work his his his wife is there she's
like how are you doing how fine whatever just turns the light off giant penis on
his face just whatever I don't know could be hilarious this is this might be
the greatest invention of all Humanity that saves lives makes perfect pranks
possible Volvo We Salute You I salute you I feel like we both do I don't speak
for you no I salute them too that's that's fantastic completely agree and
what I really like about it too is isn't Volvo the one that came up with the
three-point seat belt yes and they opened up that patent exactly yeah they
everybody it was like I don't want to again I think this whole this whole show
has been me getting say something then be like uh it it was a while ago right
like 60 70 something like that yeah I think they patented it and they just gave the patent or they like a free
license to want people to be safer I think this
is like wave two of that whole idea I I
don't know if they're going to release the patent or do whatever but I think it's very cool that they're putting a
lot of effort to save people that aren't even directly in their Market this is
people riding bikes yeah it's not I doubt that yeah exactly like if you're
riding a bike you might not own a Volvo right but they're still the ones who are
I'm assuming who designed this and are selling it and all that kind of stuff so
yeah big props of Volo this this is something awesome all the way around
yeah I thought that was absolutely cool I I loved that that was probably my
favorite thing in the dark so far have they actually said is it available or
like can you buy this yet I didn't see any in terms of being able to purchase
it there's a I know you can get involved whatever that actually means by
submitting your email address um oo it
does look like you can buy it actually now that I see it says get life paint at
the shops below and they're all in London so
uh I don't see anywhere to I feel like a
a Channel Super Fun video is about to become a real a
reality if I can get my hands on some of this this will definitely can you order
it or like you have to actually pick in person yeah they they said that the
shops below and there's like a gray and white M I'm going to see here Pelton and
Co Cadence performance limited athlete lab the vello house bespoke cycling
fully charged Globe House oh yeah Volvo is into actually now I think about it
Volvo is into a lot of stuff that are that's not cars right like they do all
kinds of other like bikes and whatnot right oh do do they Oh I thought that's
what you were reading on their site no those are stores where you can buy it oh
okay never mind I was wrong again
they I don't know they might be I don't know much about that um I don't see it
on their site I'll see if I can order some that would actually I would love to do a video on this stuff so cool would
be so cool and and of course I'd have to spray some stuff all over lus like if I
can get a hold of Linus's like NVIDIA jacket sh and then after the show after
the show point I'll I'll hold it I'll hold it I won't go anymore moving on uh
uh finding other topic I have to do sponsor spots real quick give me a
moment
if if Nick you have like some awesome sponsor music yet I I don't have sponsor
music I wish I had sponsor music you can be the sponsor music we want to tell you
about our new show sponsor fresh books they're pretty cool online tool that can
help you get your accounting done and uh just do things quickly it's great for
small businesses or some freelance work I've done freance work in the past doing
computer repairs office setups all that kind of stuff for techie techie style
things you can have your uh clients pay online you can manage your expenses and
you can set up invoices and stuff like that and have everything automatically tracked which is absolutely fantastic
you can use it to update your time sheet through your phone and do projects on
basically any connected device that you have head over to freshbooks.com and
don't forget to enter W in the how did You Hear About Us section as well moving
onwards I have facial hair congratulations not have facial hair
it's possible that you have facial hair it's possible that you have hair
elsewhere you probably do um and Dollar Shave Club isn't only for
men I know it's marketed that way often but as we've discussed on the show
before your lady friends could use it just as well as you could so please take
note of that dollar shave dollarshaveclub.com Linus I can talk at
all sometimes um shave time shave money they have their Dr sh Dr Carver's shave
butter which is Awesome by the way tried it it is really really cool I actually
do like it too I actually do use that every day that isn't even part of the sponsor spot thing but I I do I use Dr
shers cave butter and I Dr Carver's shave butter oh my God what's wrong with
me right now um I used that razor as well it's a great way to have razors
show up to your door and it costs a lot less than most razors that you can buy
in the store as well which is pretty cool all right back to the normal show
you magically appear again um why is Nick calling uh oh audio
problems again what you to change the
lower third when you do a different
sponsor clicking on Dollar Shave Club
versus fresh books my bad that sucked
sorry Nick okay that's okay bye
bye poor Nick we have to have Nick around otherwise literally nothing goes
correct at all Nick is like Nick is gonna hate this because he's watching
right now but Nick is like the office mom like he'll make sure everyone's like
doing okay like if people are working and they're like man I have so much to do today he'll be like are are you fed
do you have lunch you need food I can get you food do you need food and then he'll like go and get people food and
everything it's fantastic he emailed me I think it was on on Wednesday he's like
hey dude this is like super late but can you be on the W show and like he sent
this like really long thoughtful emails like dude congratulations on your
channel you know I think it would be awesome you know you and you know you
guys can make an awesome show I like yeah sure no problem like that was my
entire response I kind felt bad like man he probably spent like a long time
working on this email asking if I would want to be on the show I was like yeah sure and it shows the differences too
because yeah giant block you're like yeah of course dude and then I'm like
sweet exactly it's like longest email thre ever sure
okay that was great thank you by the way for showing it up that was super short
notice um but yeah that that yeah he's
he's very about things Nick is awesome he's very helpful um things that aren't
awesome changing topics a little bit two former federal agents are charged with
stealing a whack ton of Bitcoin during
the Silk Road uh uh what do you even call that pillage they when they just
like wrecked Silk Road yeah so that was
crazy so if I remember the story right and I'll probably be wrong again even
though I have some awesome notes basically Silk Road was uh it was around
for a while and actually this happened what maybe or two ago oh yeah for sure
there there's been there's there's been Silk Road one I think was quite a while
ago and there's been some kind of like popups and stuff but I think they've uh
the more recent ones have actually been from a different group just trying to
kind of ride on the on the name I think yeah because uh they arrested the guy
behind I guess this particular St Ro
Roberts that's the greatest name ever just throwing out there if if I'm going
to Beal break I think dread pirate
Robert sounds way cooler like if I'm gonna be a criminal I need a cool name
like Dread pirate Robert legally change it yeah my first name's dread middle
name pirate last name Roberts no Biga but yeah so BAS basically what
happened was was that the US government they became owners of a huge Trove of of
Bitcoin because they seized the assets of dread pirate Roberts like ey patch to
say that properly but then now two of the former agents of the DEA and the
Secret Service who were actually doing the investigation they decided H we
could keep a few of these Bitcoins right you know no one no one's going to notice
I mean it's it's internet money right except it was worth like $1.1 million
and I think couple people might have perhaps noticed and now they've been
charged with stealing actually what what are all the chares they've been charged
with money laundering wire fraud and other various offenses so like not Small
Time stuff at all and it might cause some issues too because um dread pirate
Roberts made some agreements with these guys like right here where he allegedly
paid them around a 100 grand um to keep
certain things about Silk Road Under Wraps they told them that they had more
information and they could not forward that information to their obvious
employers if he paid them and he actually did and now that's complicating
the case a little bit which yeah oh jeez
I mean that's that's going to be a huge blow to the case because if you're having some of the guys who were
starting the investigation who were working with the the government at the
time if they were stealing they were like involved in this whole deal I mean
I feel like that's got to be a huge blow to the entire thing it is yeah that that
could seriously injure the Integrity of the entire case that's that's crazy this
seems like like like if you just play Bitcoin with I don't know like drugs or
or money or something this could totally be like an awesome 70s cop episode but
instead it's just like actually it could be a slightly less awesome like I don't
know Law and Order episode but I just it just it just everything about this seems
ridiculous especially dread pirate Roberts that's the most ridiculous I
love that but yeah that's so good but yeah these guys stealing like a million
dollars worth of bitcoin probably not the greatest IDE why is my computer
making noise autop playing videos on websites suck other than I hate that I
hate that so frustrating I I would hope YouTube autoplayed that would be a little Annoying if it didn't
but yeah so these press the play button
every time but yeah these two brilliant guys uh didn't get too far with their
million dollars in Bitcoin in fact if you steal a million dollars in Bitcoin
like that would kind of be hard to spend right like I I can't imagine that's as
easy as just having a million dollars in cash for these guys especially who have
just been investigating it like what are you actually going to do with that kind
of spend in order of like like things that you would easily be able to buy but
it would probably actually be easier uh due to being un traceable or
not very traceable I just I just wonder if these Bitcoins were just never
reported in the original like C's like when they like when the government sees
like these Bitcoins or if they were like already known I this I don't know I'm
not like a super expert on bitcoin as you might have been able to guess but uh
I don't know I think it just doesn't seem like a particularly great idea just
anywhere along this this particular chain so I don't know it's weird the
blockchain um yeah I I I I I feel like
you'd be able to more easily move stolen money if it was in Bitcoins than in
dollars because dollars are a little bit easier to track especially on the internet um but that so if they were
trying to like launder it through other things that would probably be not that bad of a process but getting it out of
um whoever was managing this at the beginning I don't know about that
process I have no idea what they did and I feel like there would have to be some sort of transaction like they must have
been paying attention which is probably how they found them they got caught yeah
something along this this happy little blockchain got messed up so yeah yeah oh
well that's that's that's crazy though this this whole thing is like shaping up
to be like this a like it's it it's like getting close to being a movie I think
like it just needs like a couple of extra little twists this totally could
be a good movie well it could be a movie I don't know I say it's good probably
most of these kind of like Bitcoin hacker movies are not very good but yeah
I might watch it yeah I like hackers the movie I thought that movie was
fantastic but but you're right um anyways moving moving to a completely
different topic April fools happened and of course tons of giant tech companies
did a whole bunch of different April fools things what were some of your favorites oh man you know I this year I
feel like was one of the first April fools I was just kind of over it like I
liked the Motorola the selfie stick I think that was probably my favorite
because that one it it just was it it was like it was a good parody of Apple
it was a good parody of just like this if you guys haven't seen it it's this
great uh video where you know these like these Artisans are making like crafting
like the ultimate selfie stick out of like leather and wood and like they're
taking selfies it's it's it's a good video like as far as the April Fool's
Day stuff went it was good I also liked the com. gooogle where everything was
yeah backwards that was cool yeah what did you like uh I I like uh I'm a little
bit over it on some things with April Fool stuff I do like the high production
quality video kind of stuff because I find it entertaining so like I liked
some of the the Google ones where they were like oh uh what like fiber when
they're like oh yeah DSL mode because like it
it's it it was just realistic enough and
the production quality was there that I was like this is just awesome cuz it's
comedy at that point and like Razer with their levitating Mouse go was like what
that's so cool or Corsair with the ball Mouse
I I love how they both did mice but like I I like the high production quality
stuff but yeah the Forum voted in um
Google Microsoft corser ASUS and Razer so all of the like most expected
companies for people to vote for because they're popular U um voting poll on the
Forum yeah I I I don't know I I wasn't a
huge fan of the ASUS one but that's
probably largely just cuz there wasn't a video that was the the e St thing right
where they're e station and I think
there was something else but yeah e station was definitely one of them that
one I didn't even think that was real like I I didn't even think it was a real
April fools joke I thought it just like someone like r/ PC Master made it and I
was like oh wait this is actually real oh right the Rog Neptune um which is
like an L and2 cooled graphics card that you can just buy um but then yeah that
that's like my problem with that is the graphic of the actual net tune looks
really cool and then the text around it is like like borderline meme text I'm
just like all right yeah I don't know I I like it when
people put a lot of effort into it essentially that's the like the ones
that aren't mean and aren't stupid right like a lot of them like the I saw a
bunch of people were posting the NVIDIA just bought valve and they're going to
push out halflife three it's like dudes just no stop it just that's not funny
that's not cool it's just that's just annoying yes a lot of the ones and
especially I think the thing that really bothers me most is like when companies kind of like they half ass like ah we'll
like make some clever witty thing it's like obviously dumb and like it's it's
not even it's like it's not even funny like a lot of those bother me because
you can just see like some like marketing department they're like you know what this will be funny we'll do
April fools let's come up with a terrible idea and no one will like it
like I just see that and all kind yeah exactly it's just like guys come on if
you're gonna do it at least do it right if not just please don't that's why I
said I like the high production quality video kind of stuff because then it's
like it's it's a proper experience that you're like you know what that was that
was funny and that was cool like even uh Playstation flow like I knew people
wouldn't vote for it because it's our Forum which that's fine um but like that
was a really good video and that was hilarious did you see that one no I
didn't okay so it's it's supposed to be like kind of like VR but you only wear
it for uh underwater sections NVIDIA
games and you like go dive in a pool and
it's supposed to be like realism and stuff it's great and she's like yeah
even if you don't my favorite part was when she's like yeah even if you don't have a pool you can still experience
flow and they show someone like fake swimming in a bathtub they show another
dude fake swimming in a ball pit and then someone else just like laying on a
footrest thing like swimming in their family room in the air I'm like this is
so great it was hilarious that sounds funny
I don't you need to watch that that just sounds funny I'll give I'll give so many
props on that that's that's pretty good I I don't know I thought that was
interesting like they obviously put a lot of effort into it and like you know what if they get some more publicity
because of that if they pushed really hard and made something really cool and really funny that's fine I'm cool with
yeah totally yeah absolutely anyways moving on speaking of uh I I segwayed
that entire topic the reason why I brought April fools up entirely was to
segue into this um which is hyperkin's
smart boy which was leaked on Reddit and
uh it I don't know it was it was definitely a like purposeful leak and I
think it was something to do with April Fools and I don't think they were even
actually planning on doing it and then it like front paged so hard and people
liked it so much that they might actually be doing it now yeah so it kind
of started as a joke yeah exactly so it was originally I believe it was uh a
hyperkin employee they just posted it as a joke it's like April fools whatever um
if you guys haven't seen it basically what it is is it's kind of like uh a Game Boy shell so hyperkin they make a
lot of emulators or I guess what would you call it an emulator I guess I mean
it plays like the original cartridge yes but what it does is it pulls the ROM off
the cartridge and then emulates it so it's an emulator yeah okay so basically
it would be like it's so you slide like an iPhone 6 in the top um it has like
the actual like if you cover up like the the bottom half of the screen like you
actually have like the the game boy style buttons then you can actually put
an original Game Boy card in the back they said like it might be able to you
know have a battery backup for the iPhone all this kind of stuff and you
can actually play uh original Game Boy games on like an iPhone screen which is
obviously way better than the original game boy so it's a cool idea and
apparently they every like you said everyone was super excited about so they
decided to do it or they're putting it in development so we'll see what it
actually looks like but I think my problem is is how are they actually going to pull this off right like I get
it yeah you could absolutely have like a Bluetooth or I don't know if iPhones
support uh like actual wired controllers I'm not sure if you could like hook it
up via lightning but even if they couldn't you could do like a Bluetooth controller yeah that's fine you you can
have like a battery in there um I'm sure they can work out a way I I know they
already have lots of emulators for I think even like some of their consoles
already do Game Boy games right yeah no some of their consoles
definitely do Game Boy games um I don't know a lot about uh what you can do with
lightning connectors because I haven't really been an iPhone user um do you
know if there's flash drives for iPhones
oh that's a good question I know there mic yeah I know you can do that with
Android phones I think the problem is I don't know what you could actually use a
flash drive for on iOS I don't I mean I know you there's like an adapter that
you can uh like get like a fullsize USB port as well as U I think it's the
camera connection kit where you can also hook up like an SD card but like when
you do that all it does is just uh takes it and brings it into like the photos
app like you can't actually you don't get like a file manager that might be
enough that's probably enough then because if you can send data up well of
course you can send data up you can move uh files from here okay then that's fine
cuz all they would need to do is have the hyper component pull the ROM off the
card that you put in or cartridge that you put in sorry and then bring it into
an emulation app on your phone and then it would just run an app on your phone
that that's that would be totally fine and then all they'd have to do is pull
data and give battery life this honestly doesn't even sound that hard to make
there's one problem though what apple is always taken down any kind of emulation
app and I don't see why this would be any different even if it's using the actual ROM data so I get like if you had
like a jailbroken phone or maybe they have cuz I know was a Game Boy emulator
that you could download in Safari but it was like you it was like a little hacky
like you had to reset your calendar to like a certain date and I I believe it
would use like a devel it would use some kind of certificate that was not
originally meant for like just downloading random apps I think it for like a corporate thing or something I
don't remember the exact details but so there might be some kind of workaround
but I feel like the biggest thing is they can't just put in an app that uses
Game Boy like that's a Game Boy emulator in the App Store like apple would just
take that down so yeah hyperin could easily just develop it for uh Android
yeah and I think even in the original post they mentioned that I mean they they might be able to swap out lightning
with like micro USB I think if they did that it would be completely fine totally
work yeah that's no problem the only problem you have with that is the form factor changing so much right yeah so
like you have to make it for like a few different devices or yeah have like
adjustable slider things on the side or whatever I don't know what they would do
um but it would it would probably be a little bit more complicated because of that but they'd be able to get around
the no emulator stuff which yeah is probably would would kill them unless
they're able to talk to Apple and be
like yeah but they have to have the physical cartridge which helps a lot it
definitely helps their case but still emulation yeah I I I don't think Apple's
going to be all that nice to I think this makes a lot more sense if you have like an Android phone with just a normal
micro USB port I think that would in that case it would be completely fine and you know it would be no problem but
it it's a cool idea I can totally see rocking this giant battery Game Boy case
and you know playing playing some old school actual Game Boy cards on my phone
that'd be dope I'd do it because I actually still play like I have a um The
Game Boy 2DS yeah um which I I play like Smash
and stuff on but then I actually still get more use out of my Advanced and my
Game Boy Color wait advance or advanced SP uh I think you're probably an
advanced SP fan I just have an advanced dude the advanced SP is so much better
you get the backlit you get the fold design you get a rechargeable battery I
haven't bought a new one I have my same advance from like when it launched when
I was a kid and it still works so I'm like I don't know dude I when the
advance first came out when the advance first came out I was like so anti-sp
like ah it's just junk like cuz I had like the the giant adapter with the
light so like I could see the screen which is like huge and bulky and annoying but like I was so sold on I
like I'm never going to get an SP then my friend got one I was like oh this the
greatest thing ever and then like I was completely sold I the just getting a
little off topic here the SP is like my favorite game boy of all time because it plays every game boy game Game Boy Game
Boy Color Game Boy Advance it's got a rechargeable battery and mine I had the
same battery in that thing for like 12 years or 11 years and it still worked it
still it means like 20 minutes of battery life at the end but it still worked yeah it's it's it's the best the
only problem is the SP does not have a headphone jack and you have to get this stupid dongle that hooks up to like the
link port and then plug in head it's it's really dumb but besides that Game
Boy Advance SP Master aace yes yes the
only game I like ever play is just my super old I have no idea how the
internal batter is still going Game Boy Blue cart or Game Boy Blue why did I say
that Pokemon Blue I don't think the first gen Pokemon games had issues with
the battery running out I know the second gen did because they had the the
clock and you would lose your save I think the first gen even if the the the
battery dies I think it only affects like I don't think I don't think it's a
big deal I think the save data is still intact I might be wrong I know the second gen definitely has problems with
that cuz I remember I had to to solder like the new uh the new
battery it oh that's it's not hard you just have to like pop off the back of it
and you just like you saw it on it's it takes like five minutes but I think the
first games are okay I've actually been waiting because it's interesting that it
doesn't now so I know that but um I was kind of waiting for mine to die so that
I could learn how to do that battery swap and just film a video about it dude
I did a tutorial on it like in 2011 oh
wow okay that's probably why see um yeah it was a long time ago but it's not hard
it's not hard at all you can get like they even sell like the the screwdriver like you can get like the kits of just
like a couple batteries it's super it's super easy dude and it's you can save
like your old games that are are dead so if you have like any of the newer games
that are that aren't saving or anything anymore it's totally worth it cuz I I
know like some of those carts are like worth 30 40 50 bucks but without a
battery they're like junk so yeah yeah exactly there's a lot around there but
anyway side side sket don't don't ever
put a Game Boy thing on this list again just just throwing that out there like
it's a bad idea unless people want to hear game boy I like talking about gamey
you know what screw it we're almost at the end of the show I don't mind Tangen
thing uh we have only one topic left to do we have time the the new 3DS whatever
the heck what do you think new 3DS XL all right so the first 3DS so hang on
how far are you along as far as like 3DS's have you ever messed you said you
have a 2DS I have a 2DS I've played with a 3DS I've played with a 3DS XL I
personally have a 2DS so you never have you ever messed around with the original 3DS screen yes
and uh in 3D yeah hated it absolutely
hated it not not even remotely okay with it so that's what the 3dsxl I think for
most people that's the whole upgrade right so it has a little I don't know if
it's a I know it has a front-facing camera like all 3DS's do it can tell
where you're exact it's got like a cool
like little graphic like when you go to set it up like can actually see like your face like as you move left and
right and up and down it actually like tracks you that makes a huge difference
I'm still not a massive fan of the 3D but I feel like that upgrade alone makes
the the 3DS actually a 3DS I think that's that's a big upgrade
um there's some really stupid things like they they moved every okay so every
DS and 3DS model I feel like they moved the stylus like it was on top they had
like the extendable one then they put it on the right side which is what they should do and then they now they have it
on the bottom it's just like no don't do that stop they they move that the the
card slot's also on the bottom now which is not on the top which is weird that's
weird yeah and they've got a Micro SD nothing wrong with micro SD I think a
fulls siiz SD on like a portable is kind of dumb because that's just taking up a
lot of space but you have to unscrew the back to get at the micro SD so it's I
mean it's not it's not a big deal I believe see maybe why they did that it'
be super easy to steal it well the thing is ever ever since like the DSi you've
had like a a super like just flip a flap flip a flap flap you got to flip the
flap you just got to flip the flap and
uh I can't say that you have to to to
delicately remove the flat it's just
getting worse you're not going to be able to do it I'm gonna push I'm gonna
push forward okay so you can easily just
remove the small bit of rubber and you can pop out the SD card so it's it's
been like that ever since the original like the DSi so I I don't know I it just
there's some weird decisions there also there's no normal new 3DS so there's
there used to be like the the small 3DS then they brought out the 3DS XL which
is they've had like a I think they had a DSi XL so no no big deal they brought
the 2DS which is like the flat version that doesn't fold um it doesn't have 3D
which honestly I think is one of the better versions but now they have a new
3DS XL they didn't replace the normal size so if you want the new 3DS you've
got to get the XL you've got to get the big I think it's like 5 in or something it's it's a big console yeah and they
the thing is they have a normal 3DS but they only sell in Japan and I believe
some other countries but I know not here in North America right that's a little
bit weird to me I know they were saying how they didn't because they've already got the 2DS we' got the new 3DS XL they
they thought that two was enough they didn't think they really needed three yeah I get that logic especially because
the 3DS XL is 200 bucks so that would mean they have to chop the price of the
the normal 3DS but I don't know it's it's a good upgrade I mean there there
are some things like it's faster um so especially like the menus I feel like I
can't tell a huge difference but like loading smash I was just going to say
smash load time big I did I I did a comparison of like I loaded them both up
I think it was like 15 seconds for like 40 seconds that's off the top of my head
but like it was a huge difference so that's cool but then on the flip side
Nintendo they've had so again backing up
to the the when they brought out the DS and they brought out the DSi it was the
same kind of thing right like they could still play all the same games but the DSi was faster it had some additional
features and there were actual apps that you could download to the DSi the 3DS is
the same but this time there are games that are coming out just for the new 3DS XL yeah
right so your 2DS wouldn't is not going to be able to play a few new games and
I've seen more and more coming out like at first it was just like one or two and
now I know there's at least three of them I believe and it's like it's it's
it's like what are they doing they have this 3DS and yeah exactly so now you you
buy a 3DS game which already confuses people with the 2DS because they don't
know if that actually works NDS games and now you have a 3DS game but it's the
new 3DS game so it doesn't work on your old 3DS or your
2DS and it's called the new 3DS that's
not confusing it all terrible they're doing so bad with their naming yes like
you just said buying a 2DS and then being like no games exist for this is
genuinely a problem and then the new thing is messed up and it's ah when you
call games like new whatever that's not
nearly as big of a deal as calling a console new whatever at least it was the
DS the DSI right like there was yes
because like you can just say oh I've got the new 3DS you mean like the new new 3DS or just the new 3DS uh I don't
know which games does it play I don't know it doesn't play some games it just
what nothing about this makes sense so
yes the new 3dsxl in my opinion is a better console like there there are some
cool upgrades and you know just Apples to Apples yeah sure if you're just going
to go buy a new 3DS get the 3DS XL you know it's better no no no big deal but
just so many dumb decisions on the part of Nintendo on this whole thing they dri
it drives me crazy like what are they thinking like I just I could go on this
for a long time I I should stop but I
have to call it some someone in the chat pink snow birdie just said 3DS one
amazing idea definitely do that just call it the one just like everybody else
was no what do we at well so there's
Xbox One HTC One feel there's another one right OnePlus One OnePlus One that's
the one yeah yeah ridiculous yeah names
guys learn how to do them and apple does the same thing going down the rabbit
hole even more when they do like the new Macbook can you give it a name please
yeah so everyone be searching new Macbook great like when my friend's like
hey do you know like like I want to get a new laptop do you know how much my macbook's worth and I'm like uh I like I
can check local sites for you or whatever and they're like cool like
which MacBook do you have oh like a pro which which one they're like
I says Pro I don't know I'm just like oh
come on and that's the thing like the new Macbook so there's the MacBook
MacBook Air and MacBook Pro which is fine like that's that's different enough
but that's an all right lineup yeah yeah and I get it like you know it's like the
MacBook Pro 2015 or 2013 like that's that's okay like you know you buy a car
it's like a 2015 Civic right it's it's easy enough to kind of understand that
but I just feel like they've done the same thing with like the iPad right like
wasn't one of the iPads was like the new iPad yeah and then now they' they
they've retroactively changed the name to like iPad 3 or something it's just
guys names are not that thing and like have it have it on the product if if
it's MacBook Pro 2015 have it say MacBook Pro 2015 yeah not like you have
to decipher the serial number and go ah oh it ends in three that must be it's a
2013 just just no ridiculous moving into
what I think might be our last topic is Intel launches 75 series NVMe SSD 2 and
1 half inch and PCIe one second wait
there's a 2 and a half inch what there's a 2 and a half inch I have it oh wow you
have it I have it I did not even I I thought it was just PCIe only oh that's
awesome dude it is super awesome that completely went over my radar the the
poopy part about the story is I can't plug it
in uh yeah custom cable required so um
ASUS is actually going to end up hooking us up super hardcore um unfortunately
the cable didn't show up I think largely due to um the extended holidays due to
Easter and stuff but hopefully I'll be getting it early next week and hopefully
I'll be able to test this super quickly before I have to leave um but yeah super
sick drive it's supposed to be four times the what uh reads and two times
the rights of current uh SATA ssds because it is a SATA Express drive so it
you you're not going to just plug normal SATA cables into this guy it need a s
Express connector um it's coming in 400 GB and
1.2 terab capacities which and the prices aren't bad the prices aren't bad
at all I feel like it's it's like the 400 gig is somewhere around $400 like
that's actually I mean it's expensive but it's not yes it's not like sell a
kidney expensive like a lot of PCI ssds have been in the past I think that's
awesome but hang on let me go back a little bit so the 2.5 inch it's not a
SATA drive it's SATA Express that's a custom connector that need oh so that's
the cable so you got you have to route a cable from the drive to a PCI Express
slot yeah and what the cable that Intel sent me um is PCI Express to HD Mini SAS
not like PCI Express to PCI Express because I have a few boards that could
take that um so the connector that I'm
hopefully getting is going to be HD Mini SAS to
m.2 so it's going to be like this that's also not complicated or confusing
whatsoever so hopefully that shows up and hopefully I'll be able to test it
because honestly this drive looks absolutely sick yeah I mean well so you
say it's like four times so isn't it supposed to be like north of like two
gigs of like reads I think two gigabytes
per second exact I because I haven't tested it yet personally to stay off a
little bit but it looks like sequential reads 2.2
yeah and the 1.2 terab has
2.4 you know it's funny like when the first like SATA SSD were coming out and
everyone's just losing their mind at how great they were um but then for a while
there for me I was like okay they're pretty much all the same especially nowadays like most SATA drives SATA ssds
that you buy today you're not really going to be able to tell a major
difference like they're they've kind of all saturated so when some of the first
PCI Express ssds came out I was like ah sweet this is way faster like I could
tell a difference but you know these were like one Gigabyte per second maybe
a little bit less I would I would like to see if making that next step to like
the two gigabytes per second is actually going to be able to be noticeable
because I feel like there's got to be some somewhere along this chain where yeah it looks good as a benchmark but I
mean is it is it actually going to be noticeable is it realistic that's that's
one thing that I plan on testing give me one quick second because a whole bunch of people in the chat are getting mad at
me I phrased something a little bit weird it's not sa Express you're right
but I don't know if you can still hear me so now that he's gone I'm not
completely no was going to take over right it is
not SATA Express
but it uses that type of a
connector I can't see but I'm just gonna go with it yeah I'm gonna trust that
it's some kind of connector that it connects things maybe my headphones I
couldn't hear you sorry oh I can't see what you're saying so I'm just going to
assume it's some kind of connector that connects things J wasn't as funny the
second time so it's it's sff
8639 which is like completely
baller sauce anyways I want to actually test this drive out I know I said that
in a weird way and and twitch chat corrected me sorry about that um but
yeah that's that's the connector that I'm using on the actual
drive so that goes into the drive which
is the connector I just talked about and then this is the mini SAS HD Mini SAS
that I have which is totally so I guess so this is a PCIe 3.0 uh 4X right uh
this is a 2 and inch Drive no no I mean
I'm sorry like like the connector that like it needs four lanes of PCI 3.0
right oh yes I believe so so I wonder how that's going to affect I mean that
that's a lot of bandwidth right like if you've got like maybe like multi gpus
and stuff like you're going to run out of lanes pretty quick right that that's already been an interesting story even
without having these types of drives so that's even become more interesting down
the line and especially if you get like multiple of them M now like obviously
raid and stuff not really but
um yeah you could still possibly have multiple drives so that's that's going
to be an interesting story we're going to need more Lanes yeah and like the now
not even I believe it doesn't actually support like it's not just like you plug
it in like a SATA drive I believe only some like some of the more recent Intel
chipsets like x99 and X or no
z97 I'm pretty sure those are the two that are supported out of the box
right uh yeah yeah those are the on I've
seen uh stuff on it so you're going to have some problems although I believe
Ryan Shout I think he was talking on Twitter that he got it working on a AMD
Apu or at least hang on let me back up a little bit it will work on other
platforms but as far as like using it as like your actual boot Drive you're going to have some problems because it's not
really meant to like the motherboard doesn't know what it's looking for well that's that's also like like ghost just
said um you can't raid them only software raid that's why I said when I
talked about raid uh is because it's not going over like standard Drive Right
Stuff it's it's a it's kind of a weird solution it's an all new frontier it's
so much to be covered yes I'm I'm I'm super excited to test it and I'm going
to try to do um a bunch of the kind of stuff that you brought up which is like
things where a lot of people kind of stopped testing them because it was like
well you can't really notice a difference I'm going to retry some of those with this and see if you can
notice the difference so the testing I will definitely have numbers for
everything and go like it was exactly this fast but I'm also going to try and
give an objective opinion of actually using the computer where it's like oh
it's however percent crap faster which might sound like a lot but do I actually
notice this and does it actually affect my workflow in any way at all or is it
exactly the same essential conclusion in the end and are you hitting like
bottlenecks and like the CPU or memory before you you know the drive is actually something else in the system
yeah so I'll be try it's cool though I can totally see for $400 I mean if you
want to get like somewhat of like a high-end gaming PC build I mean I this
thing is way faster than a normal state of drive and I know that even if it's
not hugely like faster than like even like a normal PCI Express slot which is
like you know a gig or whatever a lot of the current ssds are I mean I could tell
the difference like I said between like like going from like 500 Megs read to
like a gig so even if you can't tell the difference like paying $400 for a 400
gig or roughly 400 I think it's somewhere in that neighborhood for a 400
gig SSD that's that fast that's awesome I think that that can go into a lot of
gaming PC builds where before it was like oh this is PCI Express and it's
just got like raid controllers and SATA and it's just just a it's a big mess
just waiting to happen like this is like it's all Native right it's all Native uh
was it NVMe yes NVMe yeah so finally kind of moving
away from ahci which is interesting yeah I've been comfortable there for a little
while yeah I was like I finally got this figure out oh great oh damn okay time to
learn some new stuff NVMe I I think is
going to be totally sick so I'm really excited to test this drive but that's it
for the show so I have to jump back to that
failure intro tab that we have which is
totally not even working right now did stream just crashed no yes okay we're
good no yes what no yeah no yes the worst the worst thing that could ever be
said on a show um dollarshaveclub.com Linus sorry for not
switching to your lower third you guys are awesome I shave my face with that
all the time I literally shave my face with your company so I don't know what
you want to say about that but yeah
anyways also freshbooks if you are a small
business or a freelancer I know I was for a long time handling your own books
can be super annoying my dad was running a small business for a long time and I
think there's still people he hasn't build like now and he hasn't been
running that company for like what I assume would be about a year now so
maybe if he had fresh books he would have been able to do that a little bit better not to rag on my own dad dude I
just did my own taxes and I went through piles of receipts trying to organize it
I hear you and that sounds like a good idea yes completely agree all right I'm
