you already exist welcome to the W show where the people that confused the
people that we ask to set up our camera literally never get the Headroom right
for me and Luke literally never literally not once we can get the
Shoulder width a little bit better it's still really bad but it has never ever
once happened because I don't know what they're aiming at Kane fix it yeah I
like I I have no idea what they're aiming at but it's clearly not me and
Luke oh I oh and I touched the focus one instead of the zoom one oh no all right
so let's just do that let's just do that
a little bit well the this week we're going to have great topics like fixing
your camera framing yeah there we go see
why do I ask anyone to come in here and help me with it at all you should just film everything you should be the new L
camera what you tan I'll be the new brand anything for you
Taran all right so I'm finally back it
took me a little longer to get kind of sort of yeah okay for like a day I
wasn't I wasn't really getting into not even not even a day I got here like 40
minutes ago and then I'm literally flying out on Sunday so I'm not in for
an entire day of work I'm going to Munich uh we're doing a thing with BMW
we're going to be checking out some of the tech on actually I don't know if I'm
supposed to talk about what we're doing well we're doing a thing in Germany for
an undisclosed for undisclosed company German German company staffed by
Germans or something potentially other people the point is don't worry don't
worry don't worry too much about it uh why don't we go ahead and uh move right
into our our topic call outs for the day so Bell Mobility sells the information
of Canadians probably the information of
yours truly as a Bell customer who actually recently rolled out Bell
company cell phone plans to everyone at L we know everything about all of us for
only the last couple months for most of you though that's true if that helps for
like a long time yep they know they know everywhere I've ever gone for like and
they read all your texts so for a long ass time that's awkward it's got to be
awkward well I mean really the ones that I sent to you are the only ones that are
kind of awkward so yeah that that's how I know that they were awkward but at
least that's as awkward as it gets that's true yeah so there's that uh what
else what else we got here for talk China installing 3D printers in all
400,000 of its primary schools that is
freaking cool that's cool and it's insane that they have 400,000 primary
schools but yeah that's actually awesome um that they're installing those
everywhere we'll talk about that more after though this the intro way to go I
almost went a little bit too far my dock reloaded so I can't even see them uh am
ooh AMD's Financial results $180 million
net loss in q1 that is um $180 million
is a lot of money to not have yeah yeah
yeah really and then ASUS apparently is unveiling a watch that has 10 days of
battery life 10 days of battery you know I used to have a watch that had like a
year of battery life I think yeah it's
kind of like the old it's you know what's funny is um okay you know what
we'll get into this later let's roll the
intro work see I was telling you so you got to like remove it and then no it
won't work at all what yeah you have to rem or just not remove it but you have
to drag another one in so it squares space is awesome you can have websites
that are more like vertical rectangle or
horizontal rectangle than squares you are so not helping whatever doesn't
matter squar space no it's going to be like super loud yeah what sorry for your
ears sucks how do you change on that one how do you change
it no when you're do nothing do not rewind thank you all right
light they sit on the couch eventually all right Square
SP fresh fres and we're back to us all right so
okay that was the abysmal that was the abysmal intro that's I think that was
the most successful intro we've ever had I love this show all right let's get
into our first topic here this is super exciting so I'm going to go ahead are so
are you handling link posting today yes yes I am all right so I'm going to go
ahead and I'll like asle do it like the Japan way show where it like literally
never got done all right so the oh wait
where is our other scene here there we are I feel weird if I'm not kind of
looking at me in the corner as I look and make sure the article sitting there
look at yourself all the time Chinese government to put no you actually
Chinese government to put 3D printers in all 400,000 elementary schools by next
year that's pretty sick so this is this is incredible for a number of reasons
number one is so compared to the US that
is what does that work out to was about 70,000 US schools so there's yeah about
70,000 us element schools like five to six times as many elementary schools
actually pretty nuts and that's and that's at Pro probably around $400 to
$3,000 per printer so that's actually a freaking lot of money yep metric but ton
of money but um and obviously the Source
here is 3dprint.com so it's going to be pretty
positive about that so it's going to be like yeah really pretty everything
possible is good yes cool this was posted on the Forum by Victoria Secret
by the way but I actually completely
agree with everything that they're saying 3D printing is going to be a life
skill for the kids of the Next Generation in the same way that us being
able to use a printer is a like life skill and you know we take we take it
kind of for granted that you know anyone in the anyone our age knows how to you
probably maybe install a printer driver
at the very least use the you know the print properties dialog to select the
printer that they want to print from and not fix the printer hopefully change you
know landscape to Portrait or something like like you're going to have these
rudimentary skills and then least some of them yeah so to like my kids being
able to configure they're going to laugh when you know I don't know how to you
know preheat the I'll show you how to
set up the printer although you'll probably be fine and you know what it's
not even it's not even I mean by the time these are rolling out in homes I I
highly doubt we're going to be dealing with the same filament based 3D printing
Technologies there there's some other way cooler stuff out there and as
pricing comes down on that stuff as patents expire over the next you know
sort of 10 to 25 years as they're apt to do there's
going to be some really exciting really cool stuff available in the home and
younger kids are going to completely take for granted that this technology is
readily accessible and easy to use we we did that for a bunch of stuff though
unless you don't give them any access to
it I see where you're going with that this is where I'm going with this if
young kids don't have access to 3D printing technology and aren't playing
with it because that's what it's all about that's what learning is about when you're a kid what did you do with a
printer when you were a kid you printed out aski art or like a picture of your
face that you scanned on the flatbed scanner that you were also learning how
to use or like okay like my buddy whose
dad had a color dot matrix oh Dam whoa
Bo I know if I've ever even seen a color boy so color color. Matrix so like we
had the we had these like Page Long CU
remember how the pages used to F according style so we had like these six
page long Color Prints of our names that we could put in our on our walls that's
cool like that's the kind of thing that feels stupid to us as adults because we
take that technology for granted especially top Matrix because we played
with it as kids so I sit there and I look at that going well if 3D printing
is the future of Rapid manufacturing and the future of being a maker and being
able to design things and innovate it might be the future of just like owning
a home and China and stuff is setting up
their entire next generation of children to understand this technology and and
take it for granted the same way that we take the things that we had for granted
then um you got to kind of look at that and
go you know hey are we are we investing
our money correctly right now and Obama kind of agrees with the lus side of
things where he has said apparently in a State of the Union Address that he uh
well not I don't have any NE necessary quotes but apparently he said that 3D
printing is very important yep he's he definitely talked about the importance
of 3D printing um even and I think the point it was mentioned in the article on
3dprint.com but he even brought it up in
a State of the Union Address uh something to do with bringing manufacturing back to the us and this is
going to be really important and all that stuff um but yeah I think that I I
think that we are underestimating the importance of 3D printing because it's
so expensive but China's going ahead and they're getting ahead of the curve
they're going yep we're going to get everyone educated about this while it's
still really expensive so when this stuff starts to hit the mainstream and we're going to be part of accelerating
accelerating it to the mainstream when it hits the mainstream our population is
going to know how to take advantage of this technology and compete better
against their Rivals I mean imagine if everyone on your Workforce knew how to
use a 3D printer and if they had a great idea and they could kind of just bring
it to you and all it cost is you know your 10 bucks or 20 bucks hey who the
heck knows how big of a thing they're printing however much filament they're
using um if we get a 3D printer I'm
having like filament rations cuz I am sure that there are there are and I
mainly Taran Taran would print endless Lego yeah like end well I can't even
call it Lego like Lego Lego knockoff yeah Teran go yeah I
just Tero ter Tero Tero actually sounds
kind of fun I'd play with teros it's like the it's not like the the Chinese
knock knock off it's like the skinny white dude knockoff
Tero I'd play with teros where's I Teran
should makes me ter go let's go with let's go with nowhere um this was posted
by Alex Goes High original article here is from neowin.net and this is one of
those things where it's like we've already spoken a lot about this thing
yeah part of me is like
wow that's pretty cool the other part of
me is like really that's pretty ridiculous okay now
now now hold on a second so basically so sharp announces a 5 and2 in 4k display
86 PPI 86 PPS per inch which gets people like
me pretty peeping excited PPS per inch
PPS per inch it's like rip and peace and
that's very important that's how people rest forever
um so basically we've Luke and I have
kind of talked about how on phones in
particular um this whole 5 and 1/2 inch
thing I mean this is rumored to be showing up in devices as soon as late
2016 early 2017 and we've talked in
depth about the difference between 1080P and 1440p on a device like this and how
there isn't and moving to 4K is just
using up more computational resources
for no apparent reason other than to have a a bigger batter spec than the
next guy and this this is one of those things that I admire about Apple I talk
about this a lot I hate on Apple a lot when they do stuff that's really stupid
but I also oh man we'll talk about the watch
later apparently it's okay whatever we'll talk about the watch later um but
but I also have to give them mad respect when they just Buck the industry Trend
and do the correct thing Apple was correct to move the smartphone industry
towards high resolution displays high density displays they were also correct
when they said you know what it's actually fine the way it is and a high
contrast display with good pixel response times and accurate color and
all these things that actually matter to the experience that's more important
than us just cranking uh pixel density
for for for no tangible benefit it and
you're going to get better battery life out of that you're going to get better performance in games when you're running
at a lower resolution um especially if there's no reason to be running at a
higher resolution I don't necessarily agree with what Apple does with that
extra power savings where they just make the device thinner instead of putting
like a nice wonk and battery in it um but I have to respect them for doing the
right thing versus doing the thing that gives them a more impressive spec sheet
but I'm going to throw something at you
my butt is who cares about putting this
in phones this is going to be all about
yes okay you have the same butt as me dad hmd mine's a little smaller yes um I
we don't really know yet where the perceivable stoppage is going to be for
VR because I haven't really looked at a 4K screen in VR before I don't think
many people have no um so there's that so like it we might already be there it
might be like 1440p to 4K might not really be you've seen 1440p though I
have and it feels like there could be more but there's other stuff that they could do to fix that too part of the
problem with a lot of demos right now is they're mainly Tech demos so you'll
people aren't working on that but at the same time not interacting with it which
is a huge problem yeah exactly and there's people really highend in VR that
have said that they want to see 4K screens so I'm kind of leaning towards
we do need that so I'm excited for this because of that not even remotely
interested in it for folks I mean have I I I'm you're going to have to correct me
if I'm wrong here but haven't we even heard 8K as sort of the Magic The Magic
where it's going to be enough number yeah we're so we're so far away from the
GPU power to drive that though yes and
and because you need the minimum FPS minimum FPS is so important for VR it's
ridiculous because if people are like I want to end up doing VR benchmarks
eventually and what I might even be interested in reporting is just minimums
interesting just because that drop is going to be where people get motion
sickness that drop is exactly what you're going to notice all the time
we're going to have to we're going to have to start doing the benching completely differently like we're going
to have to go out to an HDMI splitter
and we're going to have to go to a capture PC because uh methods like fraps
simply don't capture instantaneous FPS well enough yeah so we're going to be
interesting we're have to have a look we're going to have to explore yeah exactly we're going to have to explore
how we're going to Benchmark stuff for the VR space but that's
not coming now I guess so that's
fine yeah anyways anyway so yeah it's
it's exciting it's apparently an exop panel um which doesn't actually tell us
a whole lot about how good it is that's just the Indian Gallum something
something something zinc oxide or I think something along those lines that
just tells us a material that Sharp's using for it because I've seen exop
panel displays that look great and I've seen exop panel displays that look good
but not as good so um yeah that doesn't tell us everything that uh that we need
that we need to know uh what I'm really what I'm really interested to see though
is does that mean that we're going to get 8K you know 11 in monitors right
that's the same pixel density this is one of those things you know what maybe
an engineer can explain this to me if anyone out there is a display engineer
you hit me up on Twitter or something not during the show because if you look
at my Twitter feed during the show it's redonkulous um but but hit me up and let
me know if I'm a complete idiot because I think aside from yields being
exponentially lower um so it should be
it should be something something two two
whatever they're called two Powers low two Powers worse uh because you've got
four versus one so so you D you've doubled it twice in terms of your odds
of having a defect because you've you've quadrupled the size um so aside from
that when we have the technology is
there any reason why we can't make if we can make a 4K display that's 15 in is
there a reason that we can't make an 8K display that's 30 in that's that's kind
of what I would like to understand a little bit better and there's probably a
reason yeah I'm just obviously an idiot like why did why did Apple have to do so
much work on the backlight of the retina
iMac um to get the brightness high enough when they've got already when
we've already got pixel densities like that on phones that are also super thin
and also have
backlights so yeah some someone someone can someone can school me and I'm always
more than happy to be schooled speaking of getting schooled uh coolax gaming
posted on the Forum and this original article here is from Anon Tech you want
to go ahead and I already have it you are on it today I had it posted in the
chat so I could post it quickly once you said it AMD posts a q12 15 result of a
$18 million net loss so a lot of that sort
of discussion in the forums about you know the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4
being the savior of AMD looks like they're not the savior of anyone um
unfortunately uh you know all this all this talk about sort of you know AMD
being a great sort of performer at the value end and that kind of stuff is true
but unfortunately that that doesn't do a
whole lot of good for their bottom line as a company I mean you you see a lot of
people kind of going oh Intel charges so much Intel's a profitable company if AMD
could charge you let me see what what percentage their loss was I let me have
a look hold on hold on so oh no that's
the non generally accepted I think they had it broken down
by yeah Computing and Graphics so Computing and graphics on revenues of
$532 million lost 75 million so AMD processors AMD
CPUs and gpus need to be 30% more
expensive for AMD to be even making like a 10 to
15% profit on it so you got to ask
yourself if you're an AMD supporter if they jacked their prices 30% tomorrow
would you still buy it can they be competitive with the technology they
have today and that's something that
many folks in the IND industry have been kind of looking at AMD and wondering
where is the light at the end of this at the end of this tunnel I mean they have
a new Apu coming but we've heard that
story every time they've had a new Apu coming that's supposed to be the new the
new savior it's going to be way faster it's like that's great you know who else
is coming out with way faster apus Intel
um which is a real problem for and there that yeah I mean that Intel doesn't call
it an APU because apparently they think that that ging is irrelevant um for
whatever reason Intel just kind of didn't go yeah we'll support calling
this an APU but Intel's building CPUs with more and more and more powerful
gpus all the time you look at die shots of the latest Intel chips it's like you
got so if if you got a quad core CPU for example or dual core CPU you got like
your CPU over here and like your GPU over here it's actually pretty crazy
Intel is building apus they're they're stepping up quite CU for a while there
it was no contest at all yep and now it's oh yeah Intel was like such a joke
the one thing that AMD still really Lords over Intel on the integrated
Graphics side is drivers yeah and uh there was a really great post I want to
say it was on Reddit from a guy who uh who interned at NVIDIA for a while and
he was talking about just how broken games are and how the only reason
any of it works at all is the years and
years and years of expertise that the driver teams at NVIDIA and AMD have just
fixing this stuff over and over and over again and just just going in and fixing
just fundamental completely basic stuff
at game by game by game by game and the
fact that they have that entire backlog of fixes means that a new company that
tried to you know let's say let's say
qualcom decided they wanted to build a desktop GPU or let's say Intel decided
they wanted to build you know code name
let's call it rarily or rarly or whatever something
like that let's say they wanted to build a graphics like a graphics core
um it would be nearly impossible for them to catch up to teams of dozens of
people working for literally years on
literally just that yeah fixing broken game c look at GTA 5 there was a
specific like the name of the driver was GTA 5 for both teams driver that came
out yep AMD has a beta GTA V driver and
NVIDIA has a GTA V dver and this is with
what by most accounts seems to be a pretty good
Port yeah straight up development yeah
like they actually did work to make the PC version it's really smooth different
we have our video coming out soon different yeah actually you've been hard at work on that haven't you there's a
bunch more more benchmarking numbers than we normally have and with a call
out at the end for what else you might want to see for future gaming benchmarks
I'm trying to take gaming benchmarks away from just graphics card showdowns
and we're going to try and make it like a how does this game really you just
gave away everything cuz what other what other what other thing what other
component of the system affects game performance but we didn't fully explore
it so I'm wondering exactly what they want to see sure they'll tell me in the
video it's cool I don't mind spoiling it they'll get it soon yeah no I I already
had some ideas so okay all right just just spoil it cuz I'm sure they're going
to be giving us a bunch of crap GTA is pretty freaking good I what I did was I
checked uh cores I recently released cores for gaming so I did like a course
for GTA V part of the GTA V video and like half the comments under the video
or why didn't you test this game why didn't you test that game you know what just calm your panties we tested quite a
few games now we tested GTA 5 all right we're adding that to the sleo things so
we tested it with two cores two cores hyperthreaded four cores four cores
hyper threaded six cores hyperthreaded and eight cores hyper threaded ballin
I'm not going to should I spoil everything should we do 36 cores hyperthreaded at some point oh for
anyone who doesn't sorry uh we you it's okay I'll talk about this after you go
well am I spoiling it more or should I make yeah you guys should watch the
video okay so for those of you who don't follow on Instagram and Twitter and
where I've been posting some of this stuff Intel confirmed
we are getting two and I feel terrible
right now because I've completely forgotten the model number CU I I don't
actually really keep here we go I don't really keep up on the like
$4,600 processors that much they're sort of out of my price range if you know
what I mean but we we are getting two
2699 V3 18 core processors the these are 2.3 GHz
base frequency 18 core processors and if
you do a little bit of funny math it does not work this way if I ever see any
of you guys doing this to calculate the relative performance of a CPU I am
giving you guys so much crap about it because it is not the right way to do it
but you're doing it right now I'm doing it right now but if we went 2.3 GHz
which is the minimum I don't even know what it's going to Turbo at normally
times 18 that gives us an equivalent raw
sort of processing I know I shut up I
know 4.1 gigahertz if if and you have to
you have to admit this is right it has 45 Megs of
cash okay like that's more cash than my
first computer had RAM like my first
computer that I owned was like a Pentium 90 with 32 Megs of RAM it has 50 % more
RAM than my first computer so any anyway
uh if you had a program that scaled linearly scaled perfectly if if you did
if if you did huge if if you did it
would be the equivalent of having a 40 GHz CPU in your system which is bananas
ridiculous it requires ddr4 server RAM did I mention we're getting two of them
so we're putting two of those in super
mic Pro and ASUS are are battling it out for who's going to have the motherboard
in our system I'm kind of tempted to just ask them both to send them and then
if the super micro one's good and has 10 GB onboard Lan which is a big deal for
me cuz we're going 10 gbit in the uh in the new office if it's good and it's
good then maybe the super micro wins it but the ASUS one is ASUS and there's
that trust there I've never really used super micro products extensively in the
past although it's server stuff I mean I
use super micro stuff it's really solid I haven't used it as much as a Seuss but
JJ made some compelling Arguments for some extra features they have in the ufi
I know it's JJ but JJ also isn't just
full crap I'm not saying he is was saying JJ could make compelling
Arguments for anything and they would probably be true
but that's the thing is JJ finds the
value JJ finds the way way
yeah I had to JJ is awesome I've had a
long day day
it'll be okay
K oh man I'm I'm going to leave it I'm
going to leave it there this thing on our next video our little tagline thing
on the bottom should just be like don't calculate it that
way oh yeah I've got to add some more to the dock yeah oh man noce some repeat
ones I I get excited to see them cuz I don't know what they're going to be so
when they repeat I'm like oh well you know where those come from is I know Ed
puts some of them in um but like a lot of them are like me waking up me waking
up in the middle of the night and being like and then like putting it in my
phone so that I remember to add it to the do later that's where like a lot of
stuff comes from so anyway on our next day Seuss coverage video the tag line
should be JJ knows the way
way you know what you keep making that joke and you'll pay pay
you hear what I say say Yes um so what are we using 36
hyperthreaded chor for we're talking 72 threads yeah we have a plan I don't know
if it's going to work but we have a plan so Adobe products so we're talking
Premiere and to a greater extent After Effects have a feature called render
Farm feature whatever you want to call it scw screw you you can make a render
Farm okay so they Port render Farms
which basically allows you to take a folder and that designate that as a
watch folder so then what you do is you drop a project file into that folder and
any any render Farm machines are going to watch that folder and they're going
to go hey that's a project I haven't rendering I better go render that now so
the idea is that even though everyone here has like pretty powerful
workstations still need them six Core Extreme editions uh 32 gigs of RAM all
that stuff certain projects and bring
them to their knees like Ed was rendering out a project the other day
that he had to disable his Quadro for some reason and only used the Titans in
order to render out this project and then he was he was he was saturating his
1 GB land connection as well so there is a reason that we're moving to 10 GB land
on all the workstations properly this time and uh and that we are building
that 24 SSD raray server that's going to
be for everyone to work off of at the same time and then this render farm
machine is so that no matter what those guys are rendering out no matter what it
is their machine is not what's being bogged down by it so their machine can
focus on Real Time playback in you know
let's say da Vinci resolve and then that
render machine is outputting whatever project they just finished or Taran with
his lightening fast editing doesn't have to pause to wait for something something
to Output although he might have to pause for RSI reasons but yeah well oh
that's that's a whole that's a whole other that's a whole other thing so so
we want to have a look at whether it
will scale to 36 cores and uh and and we
just want to we want to look at that as a as a workflow because I look at what
other video production guys are doing and and ones that are bigger than us and
should therefore probably be more organized than us and I kind of go you
guys just have like external hard drives with your projects are you insane like
are you completely insane you don't have a centralized you're using Thunderbolt
Thunderbolt is not a proper solution for
professional use that's like prosumer and being marketed as professional use
I've I've never been a proponent of Thunderbolt for like video editors and
creative professionals that's that's local storage that's just like USB with
like old tin foil wrapped around it's like it's like a dressed up still it's
it's it's like fire wire it's the addition Edition it's USB cable yeah
it's new fire wire it's I don't I don't view that as a way to work especially in
a team environment where you want to be able to share resources like the fact
that now we have a PCI Express SSD in
our current server that everyone can put their caching files on has sped up the
workflow dramatically whenever someone needs to load someone else 's project
instead of storing all those files locally on their own machines or on a USB drive or some stupid thing like that
they fire the file up just like that they can open up the project instead of
waiting for the uh for the audio to conform or whatever else the case may be
so I'm really excited at about the
potential to centralize all of our data
and all of our processing as much as we possibly can um so I want to go back to
actually the topic that we were talking about before anyway that's just kind of teasing the the 36 coreon thing that I'm
like super amped up about right now but
this is really cool this was posted by
DBZ over on uh The Forum at Beyond 3D
and a lot of people have this perception that the AMD versus NVIDIA battle has
been kind of a a battle of two Titans
over the years sorry shouldn't okay oh
dear I could use a better word than Titan a battle of two Behemoth The but
it's not really that so going way this
is like such a cool chart have you seen this yes yeah fantastic so it goes all
the way from Q3 2003 and you know what I
love about the timing of this my first graphics card was a 9600
Pro I had was it a 9600 XT I had something
from back then so this was the first discreet graphics card that I ever
bought with my own money so this is like the entire history of as long as I've
been paying attention so while we go through here actually maybe I'll point
out all the cards I've ever owned because that might be kind of fun but um
basically it shows the market share percentages for AMD versus NVIDIA
historically across all these years so if you look the only time AMD was ever
ahead of NVIDIA was in like just after
what I would consider to be their golden age when they were Rising you know the
9500 non-pro you know IM memory
configuration soft modding days so uh
back around the time of the x800 series x850 series they had a really strong
period here when NVIDIA completely crapped the bed with the 50 uh 5000
series so that that kind of that kind of took you can see that these things take
a little while yeah to even kick in too because NVIDIA came back with 6,800
which were very good cards and that's still it's amazing how slow ception is
to catch up to the actual products in the market anyway that's neither here
nor there AMD was ahead for a period of
looks like about a year and then since
then it's actually been kind of frightening I mean even at times when
AMD has had very very compelling products like I personally really liked
the 3870 thought that was a great product and if we go back and we find uh
find where that launched so here's the X2 which we put yeah 3870 right here AMD
was limping along with 37% market share
at that time and that was when 3870 was up against um up against I guess
90 80 8,800 cards so the 8,800 you know
what curiously I can't find the 8800 GT on this stupid thing which is like the
most important card that existed within this era I'm not even going to lie
that's the only thing I've been looking for yeah it's I don't think I found GTS
yeah yeah I found GTS I found 9800 GT which is the same card yeah um but
anyway that's neither here Norther there so anyway you go along and you kind of
go AMD's been doing okay you know 35 to
40% market share this is what's happened in the last couple of
quarters that is some terrifying stuff right there what incentive does NVIDIA
have to continue to improve anything when they have 76% market share because
let me tell you guys the way business works is you invest in areas where you
see growth for your company which is why
uh was what was it the W show in Japan yeah W in Japan all did I even talk
about this on the show or did I just talk about this to the Omron guys the investment that NVIDIA has been
doing and like the fact that Elon Musk went to one of their conferences because
they've been working on Tegra for cars yep a huge Focus for them has been stuff
for cars because what are they going to do sell another 24% more widgets be a
monopoly and all of a sudden have to deal with a bunch of antitrust nonsense
and Monopoly Monopoly laws like that
there isn't even really any incentive for them to to to push any harder
against AMD like at all they don't they don't want them to just go out of
business tomorrow I'm fairly certain that would be bad um so I forget where I
was going with this right so is it any great mystery that in spite of AMD
having cards that on paper look pretty
good for the dollar um that they're doing poorly people refuse to buy them
so everyone out there collectively is not buying the cards and that's why
that's why AMD is in the situation that they're that they're in today um let's
go ahead and uh I I do want to do that thing though why don't we uh why don't
you and I each pick out pick out all the all the cards that we had over the years
my problem is some of the earlier ones were not my computer specifically they
were like family computers I can just do it then my first dedicated computer had
an 8800 GTS okay which here quite a bit
later all right well yeah I I had earlier cards like I had a 9600 I think
XT but those were in family computers so my first card was an all-in Wonder 9600
Pro yeah sick from there I upgraded to
an x800 Pro so I think that's right around
here from there I went to an x850 Pro
which uh should be somewhere in here even if it's not listed there from there
I went to an x850 XT Platinum Edition so
so there there oh no uh it's an 850 XT
Platinum Edition yep there it is X uh from there I went to a 7800 GT from
there I had a 78 I had two 7,800 gtx's at one point I picked them up off a guy
who was selling them for way too little I ran in my system for 3 days and then I
was like afraid to hold them anymore because I literally didn't have that
kind of money at the time so I needed to flip them I just bought them so I could
like game like that have the experience
and I got rid of those things right away you make money off it though yeah yeah I
made money um so then I went to I had uh
what was it yeah I didn't go from I
didn't upgrade the 78 you know what I had a 6800 GT for a few days as well I
bought a chain tech one back when like chain Tech
existed um I was kind of I was actually kind of a kind of an AMD guy like back
in the back in the earlier days like the cards that actually stayed in my rig
were generally AMD until I went to a 7900 GT and then I went to two of those
and then I went to 27950 GTS in SLI that
was my that was my SLI era from there I went to 28800 GTS 320 Megs from there I
went to two 8800 GTS 640 Meg cards from
there I went toay 8000 series for a little while I I stuck with the 8000
series for quite some time and then you know what I actually down dowed from a
full desktop okay and then I went with a small machine for a bit and I threw a
3870 in it cuz didn't you have I thought
you had that crazy 8800 GTX with the wrong cooler on it or something uh what
was that wrong cooler on it or was it the right cooler can't remember the crazy blower
one that was too tall oh oh that I don't
remember what the that card that wasn't a personal rig card okay yeah that was a
card okay um so then I went with a 387 and the reason for that was dtec had
their Fusion gfx which was perfectly
compatible with the built-in um like unisync that was already on the 3870 so
all you had to do was buy a GPU only water block and I had a liquid cooled
Silverstone Sugo sgo1 where I dremeled out the top of the case and put a 320 mm
rat on the top ran the tubes down the back and then inside through a couple of
holes that I drove that was a pretty cool little rig but the problem was that
it just was too l so from there I went
to let's see 3870 I want to say I went
to GTX 260 from there I had a 260 in my
mineral oil rig for a really long time four or five years then I went to two
260s then I think I stuck with that for
quite some time because not a whole lot came out for a while my wife actually
still has a 5870 Infinity Edition that was a really cool card like back then
six mini DisplayPort outputs are you freaking kidding me I mean the the tech
demos they did with it were stupid because that card I mean even old games
that card couldn't drive six 1080p displays and actually game not to
mention that gaming on six displays is dumb because you've got a bezel right
down the middle of everything no matter what it's just you either have like this
crazy long one right down the middle this way or you have a whole bunch
vertically and remember ifinity and portrait didn't exist back then so there
was no five displays in portrait so the card just like didn't make an ounce of
sense um so from there I want to say I
went to a single single
470 or something along those lines then I had a my next card was a
480 here it gets blurry because this is where I started uh this is where I
started being pretty heavy into NC Tech tips and so the line between what card
was in my rig and what card was on the bench was very blurry
so it's true uh so so personal like
personal rig card at that time I've got
to say was it a 580 I think I had a 580
at some point I had a 590 at one point I
know I know that um and then and then I
went Titan from there and so so you can
tell that I used to be one of those guys that was upgrading their graphics card
every single time something new dropped and something that I thought was really
interesting about this graph going uh going back to again actually I'm just
going to drop us on there one more time is look at all these
cards look at the density of cards and
then all of a sudden starts to thin out a lot 2011 hits and it just kind of went
away yeah it used to be really fun to
upgrade your graphics card every six months and like there's bigger changes
too huge changes like the the the the lack of density here is also important
in something that doesn't show in the graph which is the amount of improvement between the Cards compared to some jumps
previously yeah I mean the 5700 Ultra is
basically a DirectX 8 card let's let's not kid ourselves um the 5950 is like
barely dx9 barely NVIDIA abandoned that
thing so fast that Hardware was like bad
that was that that 5,000 series stuff was some bad hardware and then so you
you jump ahead to uh First Direct X1
card what was that the 8800 GTX if I recall correctly uh oh no it might it
might have actually been the 2900 XT who was first but I don't remember I don't
remember anyway so so that that era
that that is like that is huge differences in the way the graphics
cards work I mean that's that's going from a graphics card just being for
video games to a graphics card being for video games and even the beginning of
Cuda I mean look at all the Innovations what happens here and then now we have
like faster
Cuda it's sad and GPU boost we do have
GPU boost I guess there's that which like does weird things yeah it
does do weird things at least you've got that in
common with it yeah oh I know about your weird things hey it's the UPS guy our
favorite person that's always a good sign we know them all now yeah I know
right the FedEx guy wants me to build him a
computer he's like so do you have a deal on a computer I'm like I don't know man
I got like Parts people are always asking me this they're like like my uh
like my father-in-law is like oh my friends wants to buy a computer do you
have any computers I'm like yeah but are
they appropriate probably not likeone who
wants to buy the iMac oh yeah I heard about that that's good all right let's
make it go away yeah if I never have to see it again then that'll be a good
thing oh he has two packages for us today oh I didn't see him for a second I was like wow is it for someone else no
way it's always us all right this is
posted by Michael mallister on the Forum and we've got two Source links here and
I know end Gadget is the original one but I love John ringer so much we're
going to pull up his website and the TechnoBuffalo link is already the one
that's placed in twitch chat he's such a nice guy I love John so and you know the
funny thing is is is the article on TechnoBuffalo here just straight up
refers to the original Source being uh and according to n Gadget the Vivo watch
offers anyway so the point is credit recruits do that's good y the point is
ASUS is teasing the Vivo watch and there's a couple of
things that are notable about this number one is the design looks an awful
lot like the Apple watch doesn't it yep
I think watches are going to get really similar though to be honest yes yes
you're right and you could make the argument that the Apple watch looks very similar to every other bloody thing that
strapped to your wrist and told you the time since the dawn of time itself um so
so you know like I get that but it really does look very similar ites if
you put the crown on it took away Theus logo you you could tell me that an Apple
Watch yeah I'd be like oh yeah it's not
gold that's weird they didn't spend enough money on it yeah exactly is it
the addition Edition or no so there's a couple cool things about this one um
number one is that actually it looks very classy um it looks as classy as the
Apple watch um not quite to my personal taste I actually very much prefer the
more utilitarian look of something like the LG watchr um and if I'm going to go
with something that looks a little bit nicer I don't I I like something a
little more Industrial looking and square like the like the Pebble Steel um
a lot of people have remarked that I'm back to the Pebble Steel not for any
particular reason other than that I dropped my G watchr charger and it's
proprietary and I haven't gotten around to replacing it yet so I broke it um so
yeah there's that really sucks and you know what going back to the Pebble Steel
after having been away from it for so long has made me realize they've made a
lot of improvements for one thing it's really Snappy now like it's like really
responsive now yeah um
and two as much as I really like Android
Weare and I'm going to go back to Android Weare at the earliest opportunity because I really like being
able to interact via voice for quick text responses and stuff like that um as
much as I like Android Wear I don't feel
like the way that it's integrated with
Android um really has that much of a value right
now I think that I think that Pebble in
spite of their proprietary third-party operating system is able to give me as
compelling a value if the hardware was better and I'm really excited to check
out the pebble time if the hardware was better they're able to give me a very
compelling experience even though you know they don't tie directly into iOS
the way that an Apple Watch would or directly into Android the way that an
Android were watch would let's not let's not get them too uh too stoked yet let's
just kind of stash it here for now but yes we will definitely be doing that uh
put that on Luke's shelf it's a replacement for the giveaway one um okay
so anyway 10day battery life so that that leads me really well into the other
exceptional thing about the Vivo watch so it's going to be a very Fitness oriented thing which I personally give
exactly zero cares about um but what I think is interesting is that it's not
Android oriented things not Android Wear
this time oh
so that's not to I don't know that I don't know that ASUS is like my sort has
the track record as far as building their own operating for systems
operating systems for things goes um but
I am a little bit more we don't like the
AI Suite thing so much but the ufi setup
is quite good that's true so that's a very
different I don't know it could be fine that's true so it could be fine I'm
reserving judgment but the point was if I hadn't gone back to the Pebble Steel
recently and kind of realized over again
that I don't need to have Android with Android Apple OS with Apple OS um I
would be a lot more Clos minded about this but as it is I kind of want to I
kind of want to give it a shot I kind of want to try it out yeah that's cool if
you want me to test the fitness stuff I can do that yeah as long as my knees
aren't totally busted I'll leave that to you yeah you should probably you should
probably give an update while I get this ready um or have you been have you told
them to I not exactly you don't have to
showed them the
cane so I'm an old person um I I screwed
up my knees doing squats there's issues
with personal trainer conflicts and all this other stuff and blah blah blah
someone should have been doing whatever anyways my knees are super messed up
right now but it's not the end of the world I have some fairly minor cartilage
issues in both of my knees and I have muscle muscle bruising and some other
stuff so they're a little little not doing great right now but I'm doing some
weird New Age stuff like foam rolling and crap that my physiotherapist told me
to do and I'm working on it so I'll be fine ETA couple weeks it'll be all right
yeah that's it's hard to go upstairs though and there's a lot of stairs in this house so that's been a little bit
of an issue but people like Nick have been hooking me up so it's okay fewer stairs at the new place that'll be good
in fact no stairs until we build out the upstairs so so there's that but we
probably won't be there until I'm done doing this all right so we are going to
do a super special live
unboxing we each get one oh that's fun I don't have a knife me neither so can't
use my C I have a bottle cap thing which was for fizzy water not beer I have my
Hello Kitty key what happened to your KY CH key uh I
was flying recently okay I was like oh my goodness I have not been home yet I
was like if that thing started to fail you would have ordered another one so what the hell happened my my two knives
that I normally have on me are not are not on me which makes
sense my professional unboxing knives
there's actually three boxes but this is pretty much the most exciting package
that we're going to receive until the xeons show
up look at all of them and this is like
each one of these things is two so I'm going to spread them out a little
bit they're all ssds I'll show you one
properly Kingston just gave us the straight hookup for the new server so
like all of all of the all the I
literally can't even hold them all I literally can't even that's about all
there is to say about it um we have
24 960 gig KC series ssds that we are
going to be installing actually you know what I should have I should have gone in
I should have gotten up when uh uh when
you were buying time for me here you can open this last box cuz I have to go get
three other very important pieces of this as well I don't know if I told you
that those this is is this the it's more
oh it's just more ssds it's even more oh
so you can make one huge pile Oh my God
it's even more okay give me a moment
I'll try to stack them all now it's it's
more as he just said so now I'm going to try to stack them in the like space
saving way so I'm going to stack them like this which is really the density of
one even though it's two so I want to point that out real quick and then I'm
going to try and stack all okay now I play Minecraft with
ssds so this is actually a really
important part of the puzzle as well uh
now normally when you do an SSD raid array you reach the you reach an
internal bottleneck on your controller or PCI Express before you can actually
run out of you know SATA ports to plug
oh more and more solid state drives into because these things are so high
performance I mean each of these is good for in the neighborhood of half a
Gigabyte per second so you go ahead and
you throw 24 of them in an array and we're talking 12 gabes per second of
theoretical raw read and write speeds what what can handle that kind of
bandwidth so you're not going to be using your onboard SATA controller on
your motherboard or anything like that so we actually got not
one not two but
three LSI Mega raade 9271 8i uh SAS
cards uh although they'll be running in SATA mode with these particular ssds but
uh these are so we have three separate raid controllers so we can overcome the
internal bottlenecking of even a high-end Standalone RAID controller card
usually isn't really a problem once you get to the raid the the like dedicated
card it's usually fine it's usually just when it's on the motherboard that you
potentially have an issue with Magnetic drives yeah you're going to run into
bottlenecks pretty quick I mean you start adding more than three ssds to an
Intel onboard raid solution and you're not you're not going to be getting
that's what I'm saying ssds on onboard can still cap it pretty quick but those
you don't usually cap cards very quickly so this is going to be sick um this is
is going to be uh basically I think what I'm going to go with is a 20 tbte raid
six with a hot spare and then we actually had Kingston send 25 that's you
Shug when you said hot spare you know whatever hot spare SSD whatever um so
for those of you who don't know a hot spare allows the array to be rebuilt
automatically if one of the drives were to fail or drop out of the array for
whatever reason and then we actually had them send 25 so we're going to have a
cold spare as well so if Drive fails and
the hot spare kicks in we pull that out we throw in the cold spare and we have
now a hot spare that our cold spare becomes now a lot of people talk about
how raid is sort of dead and and this is a conversation that gets brought up a
lot raid is dead for certain applications and it's it's amazing how
many people saw our 100 terabyte server
and said why are you running raid I never said I was running raid never once
did I say I was running raid and there was another thing IED an Instagram
picture ofing testing on it why are you running Windows on a file server I'm not
running Windows on a file server I'm running Windows on the client so that I
can transfer files because our clients are going to be Windows yeah because
they're video editing machines like the the fact that people just
assume that anyway so the point is the
problem with raid they should make the internet the assnet assum net the assum
net it's short for assnet
GTA you can steal that in your next game if you want so the problem with raid
bringing us back on topic is that if you have a drive fail and you've got let's
say each of your drives is 6 terabytes
like that uh like that 30 drive or 27 drive system that we have downstairs
each of your drives is 6 terabytes there is every so often the the laws of
probability state that you're going to have a bit flip and you're going to have
data corrup op and once your drives reach a certain capacity the odds of if
that drive fails trying to rebuild that drive without one of your other drives
failing during intensive reading become
so great that you'll basic you're basically guaranteed to have your array
fail just from trying to rebuild it every time now in practice we have not
found that to be the case we have we have a large 3 terb Drive array with
consumer like not the like I have refurb drives in there I'm a bad person we're
doing it properly this time though I promise um and we have rebuilt that
array lots of times and in theory you
know the the theory crafting mathematicians on the internet ton of
times would suggest that three terab
Drive is far too big for even a raid six
and blippity blo blo and the point is we've been lucky or it's fine um but one
way or another we are running ZFS 2 this time around so we have three pools of
nine drives Each of which can sustain two Drive failures and then the way that
ZFS handles rebuilding Drive failures is
different in such a way as you don't have the odds of the dries failing etc
etc so um yeah we're kind of doing everything properly this time but
bringing it back to the ssds these are low enough capacity and high enough
speed that you can rebuild an array extremely quickly on them and these are
only for our like our actual daily work server we are going to be doing thanks
to all the io that we're going to have with these bad boys like I am expecting
multiple gigabytes per second of raw
performance from this array with all the io we're going to have we're going to
have another server uh like another Pool somewhere Elsewhere on the network
connected via 10 gigabit that is going to be doing we haven't decided exactly
how often but maybe hourly dumps from the SSD array that everyone's working
off of at the same time cuz it's going to have Mt iops I'm not going to go too
far into it cuz none of it solidified but with that new system that you and I were just talking about it can be like
way faster you think so like all the time really yeah well there you go so
we're going to have I don't know I I should just go straight up raid zero on
it then no I shouldn't that's really stupid 24 Drive raid zero is straight
stupid with that said my eight Drive raid zero in my personal
rig did it it it's it's it's is that you still have that right 100% fine yeah
exactly yeah but it's these are actually going to be used in a way that my
personal ring doesn't get used like they're going to be hammered so that's a
whole little bit different yeah overall written data is going to be quite
different holy cow it is after 6 it is we started really late how is that even
possible we started really we were on page two of eight in the dock we made it
to page two oh wow we did we're basically bad
people yeah um okay so posted by syntax
vgm on the Forum right uh Google gives a
response to the EU antitrust
investigations that would have the EU um
attempting to find Google on the order
of multiple billions of dollars what was this maybe should have find Bell that
much have we talked about Bell yet we haven't we'll talk about Bell later maybe they I can I the problem with this
is and I've seen a few people bring this up where was the EU when Google wasn't
allowing Microsoft to build a YouTube app that is some anti-competitive stuff
right there yeah whereas the three the
three things so this is from the Google Blog and I'll I'll give you guys a couple of Snippets from it later but the
three things that they're accusing Google of doing that are
anti-competitive are just kind of like one of them is that they're forcing
they're forcing handset makers to install their applications if they want
to have the powered by Android branding or whatever and I'm kind of sitting here
going well they can use
AOSP they can Fork their own Android and
you know what then they don't get the Play Store you know what then they don't
get to take advantage of the ecosystem that's business yeah I
mean yeah I mean Google's whole thing is
like here's this free OS if you include
our services with it it's like here's uh I saw a really good example I think it
was in the comments on the blog here you know it's like if a shop is like you
know here's free ice cream if you shop in our store it's like well we don't
want to shop in your store so we just want the ice cream well that's not how
that works or or to go to the washroom you have to buy something yeah it's like
you don't have to use our washroom you can go make your own
bathroom which probably I don't recommend but anyway the point is couple
good quotes from here so the European commission has has asked questions about
our partner agreements these are quotes from the Google Blog it's important to remember that these are voluntary
partner agreements with that said they the word on the street is that they have
been kind of Hardline about how the partner agreements work and whether you
can make the secret Google Club thing
yeah the whole secret Google Club thing um so if the EU kind of blows that open
a little bit and we find out Google has been doing uncompetitive things and this
is a whole other ball of wax but right now Google is very much on the defensive
they're talking about how anti fragmentation agreements ensure that apps work across all different sorts of
Android devices whether it's a phone or a TV box or streaming device or whatever
else the case may be um our app distribution agreements make sure people
get a great outof the-box experience with useful apps on the home screen
right there so part of Google's requirements that you're going to have to have your your Gmail and your Chrome
browser and all that stuff right on the home screen something that doesn't
personally bother me like it's are we going to tell Apple they can't have
Safari on the iPhone I don't care Apple's going to be like right there
buddy we're going to put Safari wherever we want to and that is different and I
know please do not flood my inbox I know
apple is not entering an agreement with a handset maker to blippity bloopity I
get it but the point is that to control the end user experience and I don't mean
control I mean protect the end user experience because quite frankly the
kind of software that the handset makers
and the carriers will load on your phone if Google doesn't push Chrome and Gmail
down your throat is a lot worse um
historically I forget where I was going with this anyway the point is yes it's
different but I don't necessarily object to it as long as Google's applications
are better but that's where the whole
antitrust thing comes in and allegedly Google is using their position as a
dominant player to not allow anyone to try anything better and not you know um
not give smaller application makers a chance to compete yeah so we'll be I'll
be following this I'll be really interested to see if we end up with like
a version of Android with no Internet Explorer and MSN Messenger um or maybe
with Internet Explorer and MSN Messenger remember that was the result of the
Windows antitrust yeah I was like what did you even yeah that was a little bit
of a gotcha all right so original poster
for our next one is Victoria Secret and Tesla home battery details emerge and
these things are freaking cool they're awesome they're awesome it's like a up
yes for your entire home and basically it's like a it's like a big is that
offal photo I don't think so I don't think that's official photo because the
word on the street is they're going to be they're going to stick a little bit above ground they're going to be nice
looking and they should be like separate from your home I think you can install
solar cells on top of them ignore this
ignore the photo just relax your the photo bugs me relax your boobies um so
here's some here's some supposed details from people that uh so a stock analyst
for Global equities research has sent a note to his investors with some details
he claims 230 California homes currently
have a Tesla home battery installation that there are another hundred in homes in other states so here's the word on
the street the battery has to be installed at 1.5 ft above the ground and
should have an open space of one feet on each side that's a third of a meter for
the uh Europeans um or half of a meter for the
first part the battery does not make any noise does not need any maintenance and
has no drippings that's good it has probably DPP for a battery that would be
horrible the battery includes an inverter so you can take your AC power
and charge the battery it's about 3T tall and 2 and 1/2 ft wide so it's about
1 meter by. five of a meter or four four
fths of a meter excuse me and looks good and the installer offered a choice
apparently between a 10 KW hour battery and a 15 KW hour battery pricing for the
10 kwatt hour is said to be in the $113,000 US range not too shabby if you
are really smart like uh this this strapping young man
yeah the one owner is apparently charging his battery at night when
electricity is cheaper in the area and then selling it back to his utility
company during peak hours for a profit estimated 12 to15 a month pretty much
covering the monthly amortised cost of the battery which you can buy on a
10-year payment plan yeah wow you put down about 1,500 bucks uh it will then
be about monthly $15 a month for 10 years something along those lines yeah
but then if you do that sell it back thing it might be nothing yeah which is
kind of awesome that's kind of smart yeah um yeah very very cool and I mean
just the idea of do we remember how long these are going to run your home no I
can't remember anymore I remember when we were initially talking about this and I can't do the 10 or 15 wat hour math
right now in my head so um very very cool it's like a gigantic ups for your
house though I think it's freaking awesome and I'm excited about the sell
it back to the grid thing although I do have to wonder if a lot of people jump
on this if the potential money from that will go down uh it'll I think it'll go
down but I don't think it'll go down fast or dramatically enough to be a
problem because the thing about the peak hours thing is that that's peak hours
there's nothing the utility company can do about it if they need the extra
electricity well they can either buy it back from their customers which creates
Goodwill with their customers or they can buy it from out of state which does
nothing yeah yeah yeah nothing beneficial so but if they if they're
buying it back from the customers and there's a massive amount of customers
that are willing to sell it it's going to be minuscule amounts like I think I
don't think it's going to turn into a problem I mean maybe like in the Bay
Area it becomes an issue right but like
like we're the the early adopter centralville you know yeah yeah um but
even Tesla's down there exactly okay anyways yeah all
right let's move on to uh original poster oh actually you know what we
should move on to our sponsors there you go Nick is is Nick
messaging us about that I'm sure he is I don't know I'm just sure he is cuz it's
616 tell him to keep his tell him to keep his freaking pants on linda.com

ahead and uh sort of move on with our Linda so anyway you can get a 10day free

learn a few things we have a few people here at lus Media Group who obtained
skills on linda.com and use them in their daily work and that is a super
cool thing yes learning online great I
could pretend this is a book A book of
ssds are you going to be you're going to be you're going to be her again aren't
you Linda yeah I'm I'm learning about how it's 15 times plus rapid day I'm
moving on Fresh books fresh books is a tool for really I mean the the way that
I see it being used for like people like your dad when he was running his own
business because I'm going to tell Kind of a Funny Story okay first I'll give a
brief rundown of what freshbooks is so it's a tool to get your it's a cloud
tool to get your accounting done quickly and easily you know where I'm going with
this don't you okay uh so the idea is that you can bill your hours very easily
because you can log where you're going and what you're doing you can create
invoices and send them to your clients online you can log when they've looked
at them so you so you know hey you
looked at it you know you owe me money let's get this going and you can take
payments by credit card like it just makes all those stupid little things
that you'd normally be chasing easier to keep track of uh so it's fresh book
/w and enter when in the how did you hear about a section when you sign up
for your free trial it's worth giving a shot to just so you can see if it helps
you stay a little bit more organized especially if you're running around from job to job yeah it's even cool for like
something that's possibly more applicable to you guys I don't know if I don't think you said this but like um
when I was younger I did a lot of freelance it stuff I'd go work for
little Law Offices or I'd go build people computers or maintain their like
family computer it wasn't a ton of work in home service is a great example yeah
and especially because I had a normal job at the same time I didn't want to
manage all that crap so this actually would have been really help you know what's really funny is so many people
message me asking if they should build computers for people for like spare
money and I'm like no you should do servicing on people's computers for
spare money that is way more lucrative oh it is it's way way better money
anyway um so you can build a new computer for the people that you're
servicing a computer for so you keep them as a customer my uh my my example
where your dad is about to get hardcore wrecked it took him 9 months to get me
an invoice for the copper for whole room water cooling we are literally in the
STA in the early stages of moving out of this office by the time he's billing me
for the copper for that project and I'm
going to pay him right away and I I actually I I kept chasing him yep and he
did he did Luke's mom said to me I don't know oh you don't know this when I
walked out to get the invoice she actually dropped it off here at the office she handed me she handed me the
invoice and said I am so glad he doesn't run his own business
anymore oh no but maybe fresh books
would have helped but he's teaching now so he doesn't need to keep track of that
stuff anymore oh wrecked that's why she's glad is cuz he just didn't do the
whole paperwork thing so much he'll he'll fix or build whatever want oh yeah
he'll do whatever you want but he won't
necessarily build you right away all right so let's do let's do our last spot here we've actually I think all of our
all of our sponsor spots today have something a little bit different so uh
so check this out this is squarespace's I'm actually going to go ahead and
screen share for a minute here but this is their NYC commit commit there we go
nycore commit campaign this isn't the
first time that we've brought up when Squarespace is hiring because they
really do make a song and dance and production out of the whole thing
basically instead of just having you come in for an interview the way that a
company would normally behave Squarespace go-aheads and for engineers
that qualify for an interview they give them a chance to come to the city and
experience New York as part of their interview process so if you are an
engineer software engineer um not like
you know bulldozer mechanical engineer
electrical engineer yeah so so if you're a software engineer and you're
interested in getting involved in Squarespace these guys have been absolutely exploding over the last few
years they seem like a really cool team whenever we work with them go ahead and
drop over to NYC commit. squarespace.com
submit your resume the worst that can happen is they don't get back to you
where you don't get an interview the best that can happen is you start working there and if you even just get
an interview you get to go and they'll pay for your trip to New York to go hang
out there for a little bit and experience that City I think it's a really cool way to handle the hiring
process onto the normal Squarespace messaging they make website to building
tools that are super intuitive and easy to use they have 247 tech support it's
only $8 a month at the start and you get a free domain if you buy it for a year
they have responsive design which means it looks great on your phone looks great on your tablet looks great on your
desktop looks great on your freaking SSD and you can start a trial with no credit
card required you have two weeks to build your site if you decide you like it then go ahead and use offer code

thank you Squarespace for supporting the W show yeah and they apparently have a
new slogan build it beautiful Squarespace build it beautiful
Squarespace Squarespace Squarespace Jeff Bridges Jeff sleep tips I you know what
I I I don't know if you saw this post on Instagram did yeah I thought that was
hilarious I creeped the crap out of myself lying there in bed with like my
Squarespace shirt on it's such a comfy shirt normally like I try why not to
completely go out of my way to wear the shirts of our sponsored Brands all the
time for no reason just because it looks
it looks chilly but like they're really
comfy they're they're the even like American Apparel shirts they feel nicer
than the other ones I own like they're just really nice and so I'm like laying
there in bed I use them for pajamas a lot so I'm laying there in bed myt in my
Squarespace pajamas and I'm like I can't stop thinking about the dude I cannot
stop thinking about the dude he probably would have worn a house coat yeah I
should get a house coat yeah not that into house codes no um all right one of
those ones that are just like a towel and then just use it as a towel oh my goodness we have so many topics that we
haven't even begun to touch that are excellent okay Overlord end Gadget posts
Ikea has introduced a range of wireless charging lamps and tables I still think
they've completely missed the boat with the design of these I think they're
hideous um and I did call for a wireless
charging bedside lamp quite some time ago as sorry go ahead not necessarily
like that not like this a number of you pointed these out to me and went hey I
think lonus thought of this no similar
similar I had like it yeah it was like I
you know the stupid thing is like I'm not an artistic person so I have this
Vision in my head of what it should look like but for me to actually get that
into a 3D modeling program or even on a pie of paper is impossible for me um but
basically mine would like I think wireless charging would be an optional
sort of thing like you could have a module that goes into it that allows you to add wireless charging but it would
actually just be a cable organizer and USB cables that allow you to keep all
your all your phones in one place and and stuff like that anyway I think it's
really cool I think it's really Forward Thinking I don't like the designs but
there's plenty of time for that to be improved they support the chi standard
um the thing about Chi is it just keeps not going away I mean what is it power
mat or what what's the other one I don't remember Chi versus I I've never really
gotten that super into uh wireless charging because I don't think it's that
great yeah CH versus PMA it's great for certain things having the wireless dock
in the in the car thumbs up because when
I'm using navigation is when I hit my battery hardest so on on like that dock
where it holds it yeah yeah that's no that's cool but like the bedside wiress
charging I've never understood no I'll just plug in my phone nor unless but the
thing is is do you want to wear out your micro USB connector cuz that's a thing but then
wireless charging heats up your phone where's at your battery I don't have an
Android phone right now right so you you straight up can't take advantage of
wireless charging at all but I wouldn't want to because the connector on here is way better than micro USB Get Wrecked
bro it really is it's so much better you can sleep with it under your pillow and
not worry about it like there's there's there's I'm still there's still things I
really like about Android but I don't miss micro USB at all not even remotely
this cable is just so much better and like USBC is pretty cool this one's
better at being reversible yep 100% yep and like buy a lot yep so I don't know
that's kind of unfortunate all right Mac rumors.com
says the Apple watch is or actually I
don't know if this code is from them or from Business Insider but um Global
Apple watch pre-orders exceed 2.3
million units so to put this in perspective Pebble has sold about over 1
million SmartWatches since they started
ever and apple and apple allegedly we're
not going to get sales numbers until Apple decides to disclose them but Apple
allegedly pre-order sold 1 million on
the first day so is the Apple watch a
success commercially pretty much yes it
already is um is the Apple watch a succcess as a
product I haven't tried one yet I do
want to try one I'll get my hands on one at some point I'm not going to worry about being the first one with an Apple
Watch or anything like that so I'll pick one up whenever I kind of feel like it
and then um once I try it I'll let you guys know if it manages to change my
mind but I really am I am really not
convinced based on everything that I know about the spec based on everything
I know about the functionality and based on everything that I've read between the
lines in the initial review even from remember guys the people who
are getting early Apple watches are going to be apple zealots or they are
going to be longtime Apple coverage providers abiding by all the rules that
allow them to continue to get Apple products seated to them apple is
notorious for like you know what the people that we deal with are pretty darn
good about if we give a negative review to something from Corsair they're like
okay and they'll send us the next one and hope it does better um apple is
notorious for if you don't if you don't
you know Walk the Line properly you can get your whole publication cut off not
just yourself personally so you got to
you have to read between the lines on an Apple review and I read an awful lot of
tepid positivity so I don't know I I'll try it
interesting we'll see how it goes Akita in the twitch chat says in all capital
letters for someone who doesn't like apple you sure report on them a lot well
they're pretty important they've sold more SmartWatches than everyone else
combined in like they haven't even shipped any yet they're just pre-selling
I still prefer my Android phone I use this for one specific app that isn't on
Android that I need um for some backend
stuff uh but irregardless to that
Apple's extremely important and things that they do shape the industry y you
have you guys have to understand this is our job yeah we can't just ignore Apple
because Apple's a Bad Company Steve Jobs
is bad like we can't we can't we can't job is dead we can't Fanboy like that
it's not it's not about that for us we have to look at what they do or what
they don't do and we have to compare it to what others do or don't do and then
we have to evaluate it based on our experiences with the product and if we
don't talk about it and we don't look into it and we don't try it and we don't
use it then everything we say is basically worthless at that point in my
mind yeah like I would not pay attention
to an Android phone review from someone who only uses Apple devices it's not
useful um and that's why I mean that's why it took me I think it took me about
a year to really get to the point where I could I could do Android phone
coverage that I think is I think is
contributing something as opposed to just regurgitating what everyone else is
saying because I had been just an Apple user up until then and you just there's
there's so many little tiny differences
and they're changing all the time that you just basically have to use them both
in order to keep track of it that's why you guys will actually see where is it y
mine's in my office I still carry my Moto X I am almost always carrying the
only I actually tried to leave both my phones in my office the only reason why this one is here is because uh I needed
my like signin code for Twitter right
and so I got Nick to go grab it because I can't move very well so moving on to
not Apple um NZ New Zealand VPN
providers set to be sued by TV networks
two providers in New Zealand and this was uh this is from kit guru.net two
providers in New Zealand refused to put
harsher blocks in place for their users
to keep them from accessing overseas outof country content circumventing the
licensing agreements that are in place for television and or movie programming
so a popular usage model for vpns is
accessing us Netflix which is infinitely better than every other Netflix combined
with the exception of I've heard the UK is okay but I haven't I haven't really
used it much so tvz and Sky TV networks
claim that by offering VPN service call plus and bypass Network Services are
complicit in customers watching overseas content I don't really see how it's any
of anyone's business what you know if
you're a VPN company I I really I really don't understand I'm with call plus and
BNS here it's none of our business what our customers are accessing through the
VPN the entire reason they're using a VPN is for their privacy yes and
basically they're the only two it appears or at least they're the only two
major ones that refused to stop offering
that service to their customers apparently most of the other VPN services in New Zealand
complied um with the with the TV networks putting pressure on them to not
allow that to be done by their users very interesting
I mean this is something that is going to come to a head and this is something
that I I think the I think the TV networks are going to win this one
because you look they're going to keep putting pressure I mean okay the thing
is is that these are the same companies that control the licensing deals for the
content yeah so at some point n they're
going to be like Netflix is going to be like oh we can't stop it and they're
going to be like figure it out and that's going to be that I think
that's exactly how that's going to go and they can stop it it's pretty easy to
figure out when people are VPN it's not that hard they will be fine
um I wish they wouldn't but they're not going to get away with it which is unfortunate but a thing this is a pretty
cool little product um on the subject of we've talked a lot about server crap on
this wo but this is a really really cool little piece of server crap um I'm going
to go ahead and try and make this bit man I hate scaling it's like I have to
go like to zoom level 67% to make this
ag even work um so the super micro X10
sdv tln 4f man they need better names
for their motherboards it's super micro they never will yeah I know this is a
really cool motherboard now to be perfectly honest I have no idea who the
hell it's for straight up no idea it's
got a PCI Express 16x slot it's got six
SATA 3 ports supporting raid it has four
dim slots supporting quad Channel ddr4 up to 100 28 gigs it has an onboard CPU
so it has a built-in CPU it has dual 10
GB Lan
I oh I don't think it's a storage
server Because unless you're running raid with like a hardware raid card
you're going to be CPU bottleneck in all
likelihood I don't think it's you know a
web server because what do you need dual 10 gabit NX for I don't think it's like
I don't understand what this product is it's really cool you run a datab base
off of it for web but you wouldn't need that wow okay this computer just I'm
done okay it has an m.2 Port like cuz
lots of RAM can be really good for databases yeah but if you running a
database why does it need to be Mini ITX I don't know why are you running a mini
ITX database server what are blades no
blades are going to be those uh those super skinny motherboards I mean you could do like a
a super shallow
oneu you're already using up a oneu yeah yeah yeah and you can get shallow racks
power consumption is very low 90 Watts under load Under full CPU how much is it
cuz if you just get a bunch of extra cool features it's going to be way too
much isn't it $950 yeah but the problem is the price
of the CPU so it's a Zeon d540 embedded zeeon and Intel is pricing
that chip right up there with the with the E5 series zons like it's not it's
not pricing it like an atom you know yeah um so very very cool and the these
guys actually this is this is pretty cool this is a serveth home.com I got
that one I think but you're going to have to get future links cuz this laptop
is they did uh they did some pretty sweet thermal imaging so they're showing
where the uh the ncks are heating up showing the CPUs is actually staying
quite cool I really want to get a thermal imaging camera I don't even know
what we'll do with it I just want one look at graphics cards be like
oo look at the thing toasted it's hot
okay moving on I'm amazed at how many sorry this is
totally random thought I'm amazed at how many people bought the sleepest for
t-shirt yeah cuz like after we
designed the shirt it was one of those things where that was another one of
those like I woke up in the middle of the night or rather I was still awake in
the middle of the night and I was like you know Gamers don't sleep we should
have like a shirt that's like that's like for gamers and then I was like my
cat is sleeping on me he's sleeping sleep is for cat that's
funny so I was like yeah we need like this artwork with like a cat sleeping on
the gamer and like I've got I've got guys like this completely uselessly
expressing their concern about the design the like after the campaign is
live when the design is literally already done it was never shown the
design and going like oh that's not that
that's not real safe for school and safe for work I don't know if people are
going to be able to wear that I was like I think a lot of people bought it that
aren't necessarily going to I think a lot of people bought it as like a house
shirt and some people wear it outside and that's fine but like I could never
wear like I'm my mom did the W show
really close to that campaign and she was like I can't wear that shirt on the show and I was like yep wasn't even
thinking about it don't worry about like not going to happen like I could never
wear that around my Mom it just wouldn't happen because yeah sure you're talking
about a cat there's a literally a picture okay sure there's a picture of a
cat on fine whatever you want I mean it's just like this shirt the cat's
playing with a ball yeah Holy balls yeah
that's the kind of balls I'm talking about of course it is there's no
innuendo in here nope none at all apple
is apparently worried this was posted by Victoria Secret that Samsung is simply
not going to make enough chips uh for
the iPhone 6 uh so Apple needs A9 chips
which if I recall correctly are what 14 nanometer manufacturing process like
this is some state-of-the-art freaking stuff here the original article here is
from Business Insider and apparently Samsung has increased their projections
for the Galaxy S6 based on excellent sales by roughly 40% to 50 to 55 million
units for the full year so Samsung also
needs their state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities to make their
own chips and as much as you know you can have contracts and agreements in
place and blippy Bluey blah blah blah really there's nothing that Apple
can do if Samsung decides to you know do
a run of a a NES and then do three runs
of their own processors and then do a one run of A9 and you know oh you three
for us one for you sorry that that that batch of A9 didn't work out very well so
you know whatever put all their defective units into the A9 batch and
take all the good ones from the A9 batch and be like H it's interesting too bad
yours sucked sorry so um so sorry sorry
uh did sorry I said iPhone I said iPhone
6 uh this is actually A9 for the rumored
upcoming iPhone sorry sorry sorry um so
basically yeah A9 they're worried they won't be able to
build enough they're moving some of their orders to tsmc and apparently this is because
Global foundaries the spin-off from AMD from a number of years back is having
trouble with 14 nmet Intel is the only one that seems to have not had really
and even they had some trouble with 14 N I think they had more time working on it
didn't they well yeah they did but that's because they're always ahead of
the I know but that's what I'm saying like they might have had just as many
troubles just it wasn't really go time so was
fine I'm I'm slowly cashing up here all
right well no I think that's pretty much it how did you get that booted it just
like was like no oh you right we have two of them LOL I think one of our ssgs
just outright failed yep in the Jay-Z yep which is like there's no excuse for
that because there's lots of cooling here's the one that wasn't
working and here's the other one so I hot swapped laptops mid show awesome but
it was useless yeah midow is sort of a sort of a at the end at the end of the
show all right well thank you very much guys for tuning in we will see you next
week same bat Time same bat channel is
that from like super old school Batman yeah yeah okay that's exactly where
someone was asked me where it was from the other day and I was like I'm pretty sure it's super old school
Batman worked this time yeah it sometimes just not always
you're not even trying to sing along with it I was making the noises of them
moving carrying the couch and stuff
Christmas fresh backa
