you are now streaming live to Twitch you're not we are I mean you could be
but live from Canada but also push somewhere else so actually from
somewhere else kind of yeah where are we broadcasting from it's like a fraking
mystery you know what else is a mystery what is this show even about well we're
GNA put that mystery down to pasture
with a bullet right now point bullet
point there aren't even bullets points on the dock no this is the kind this is
the kind of lazy crap that I have to deal with around here no
bullets how are we going to kill this show today with no
bullets that's a dash that's a dash you
know what a dash is a speedy substitute
for a bullet I can't change it I don't know
how to fix it on Google AMD sees his mental optimization that's topic number
one today star 's creatively named FPS
module star Marine is having some issues
maybe it's
underwater why would that oh oh
sorry e you sounded so disappointment it
made my it made my joy Juices Flow which
sorry that's not really what I
meant okay I think most they made me spit out joy juices of this bit actually
landed on the monitor so it's okay um
NVIDIA reveals new Warner Brothers knew that Arkham
night for PC was a mess months ago and didn't do anything about it woo intro
time yeah I have way too much energy today that's cool where is my intro
intro why is it not playing intro didn't
work I don't know this is a bad song we
can make the intro work if we drag the right thing yeah no no I am determined
this is try to make the thing work
but boom it'll work now swamp butt
clenching hard enough could you clench so hard to
die would that be possible well is that
Happ you know the idea behind this whole
thing was that Ed was going to do like ones all the time we ended up with
two and aren't they the wrong color no
no that's fine oh they are now they're right now no oh these outro no no the
sponsor things are a mess you mean the intro yeah the intros like we were going
to do like we were going to walk across different Landscapes all the time and it
just never happened in Ed's defense he's been extremely busy turning lonus Tech
tips into a fire pretty much not a fire
I don't even no we are not talking about fire pools today he's been turning
lineus Tech tips into what a lot of people are considering like worthy of
being a Bonafide TV show so uh for those of you who have already seen scrapyard
Wars 2E on vessel and for those of you who are waiting for it on YouTube uh
honestly overall like considering the
size of the team we have working on a project like that um yeah we're
extremely proud of it and uh I hope you guys are are looking forward to or
enjoyed the uh the final part depending on how that whole thing went yes so this
was posted by K 7 on the Forum k
k this link is bogus what is happening
it's like a Bogus Journey I what is going on with my
cursor if it doesn't start cursing better I'm going to start cursing I'm
going to get the link shared in the yeah the link is going to be people on Twitch
are going to be on that website before you are unless no I'm not logged in so
you'll win yes never mind geted bro all
right so uh this is a link to the AMD
Fury review hopefully there's something about mantle Fury X excuse me something
something well you know what whatever an on Tech probably talked about it at some
point so uh we called it I called it you
probably called it did we collectively call this yeah um AMD has confirmed that
while they are not outright dropping mantle support that is such a great way
of putting it it's like we are not outright dropping
support for oxygen remove it yeah we're not going to remove the oxygen we're
just not going to replenish it so
yeah uh they're not dropping mantle support they have simply ceased all
further mantle optimization um so the mantle driver has
not been optimized at all for gcn 1.2 is
that is that equivalent to like our efforts on installing a fire pool
uh yes we have completely well no it's slightly different in that there was
never going to be a fire pole uh so the
mantle driver has not been optimized at all for gcn 1.2 that means R9 Fury X R9
285 R9 380 and the cizo Apu uh mantle is
essentially deprecated at this point and while AMD isn't going out of their way
to break backwards compatibility they aren't going to put resources into
helping it either mantle was never going to work it
was a cool idea um I think I even like I
waffled about this a lot um and I I
actually you know what what are we look for right now oh
this is kind of embarrassing I don't remember if I ever made an AMD mantle
video yes I did so I did make an AMD mantle fast as possible on Tech Quicky
and you can you can even tell a year ago this many people were interested and 3
mon months ago this many people gave a crap about directx12 and Vulcan some of
this is because Techquickie has grown some of this is because mantle never
really mattered because it was like there was like there was always a list
of games that were getting support there
was never games where it actually
mattered like Battlefield 4 with mantle was just difficult to Benchmark there
was no benefit it was just unless you play on
that one uh aircraft carrier mission where everything was breaking and
sliding to the left then there was a little bit right which in single player
so mantle was never going to succeed until an actual industry standard
supported by everything and everyone 12
um managed to to take that whole concept
of dramatically improving CPU overhead
and uh draw call Performance and was
actually everywhere so that game developers could legit Ely design their
games for everyone to play because we already run into this where the PC
doesn't get a game because developers can't justify the additional cost of
porting it and I mean whether that's due to piracy concerns or whether that's due
to just being obstinate buttheads you know you look at you look at how much of
an impact it's had on ubisoft's business over the last few years to actually
release their games on PC yeah um so
whatever the reasons you look at how how it sometimes happens that the PC doesn't
get that's with all PCS included so you
want to start breaking it down and going oh well you have to do extra work for
AMD PCS or like you know that's what I think a lot of um software but mainly
Hardware developers don't understand when they're releasing new things that
are like oh this is very very gamechanging but you have to use like
our STK to use a FX
accelerator yeah even when NVIDIA took the fizx onto the G with their 65 or 70%
discreet market share they still can't sell that they still can't do it because
it's not ubiquitous yeah I mean NVIDIA
has gotten away with some things with uh with with Gameworks for example but that
involves them handing it finished to the
game developer basically take this plug
it into your game it makes it look better on our gpus and theoretically uh
doesn't harm performance on someone else's GPU especially if you don't turn
the feature on which I guess is true
um oh
interesting uh there is a
shirt that has been released released
actually there's a couple of interesting shirt news related items so number one
is if you got a lonus tech tips # first
shirt and it was red don't worry you
probably also got an email unless you didn't get an email in which case I'm telling you now you probably also got
got an email from Teespring saying that some of the shirts were printed red
which you already knew because you got a red one right yeah uh so you've probably
already got a shirt that's red unless you didn't order one in which case you
won't have gotten any shirts and I sincerely apologize um but Teespring
will be resending at their own cost properly colored shirts Teespring bro to
those of you who got red shirts that's cool which is good because I got red
shirts I ordered I ordered four shirts they're red
can the CEO of a company wear a shirt
that's the wrong color I don't think
so but you know I'd do it anyway but probably yeah be like oh well I've worn
this one for two weeks time to change it so good guy tpr they are making it
happen no one is being forced to return the red shirts which is pretty nice um
and we also have a new shirt to announce today unfortunately it has nothing to do
with fire PES which is fortunate um it
kind of does it has nothing to do with
Fire PS which is UN it has nothing to do with fire P which is nothing to do with
fire PES a very small amount this my friends you're not logged
in so this is taking forever yeah um
well this is weird I'm clicking log in and it's not doing a thing what I don't
even know the password that is the ultimate in password security did you
know not knowing it did you know why
this thing that they're going to figure out very soon actually they'll catch up
by the time you post it probably uh no I'm not ready to post it quite yet I'm
doing a straw pull first are you going to buy this shirt yes
no the usual option that everybody loves
so very much so this my friends is the
new shirt design it is on teespring.com
vote for nice turnip and the straw pull
my friends apparently this is only a 10day campaign Mr Mr Nick light is
getting aggressive about his campaign periods that's intense that is intense
that is not a lot of time to decide to
uh to buy one did we sell seven in the time that we've been
sitting here refresh showing it to
people maybe I have no idea no wait no it doesn't say apparently we only set a
reserve of three so who is planning to
buy this shirt reserve of three we have
a massive 63% of you saying
turnip with 28% of you saying
no and only 10% of you saying yes
apparently Nick light would like to join us on the W show
hello caller you're on the W show hey um it's not actually no caller caller
you're caller I'm afraid your belligerent tone is simply not going to
work for this show can you uh can you just compose yourself and call us back
once you are more calm
sir okay sir I'm afraid these comments about my mother are simply not going to
be
tolerated sorry you can you can talk now it's okay am I am I on speaker or what
you are totally on speaker okay um the
the campaign's not actually 10 days it just wouldn't let me set a higher amount
it's going to be like 20 something 24 days probably um I've already emailed
our rep so he's going to extend it when he can um but yeah no it's it's up there
unfortunately four F wouldn't work so I had to use a four sorry well you
wouldn't be the first person to take that shortcut yeah exactly okay anyway that's
all I had to say it's not actually a 10day campaign it's longer okay thank
you okay bye enjoy your day off okay bye
oh no oh you missed him you didn't get a buy uh what is he talking about four uh
oh the uh is it printed on there with a four the link is vote for turnup which
in my mind is really not that big of a deal that's fine so uh just click it
anyways yeah the reason why this has a little bit to do with a firep it has
nothing if you go go to firepole doco
shut up is there did you create this I
did not actually I'll go to firepole doco I will I didn't do it I will take
the bait and I will go to fire Poole do.
Co no whoa no
LL fire pole yeah I see yeah there you
go the fire pole straw pole pole
yes should lonus install a fire pole yes no
turnip and we are getting a massive 77%
voting for yes okay okay okay okay all
right we have to address it at some point the fire pole is very funny it's
amusing would I enjoy a fire pole yes in
fact before Luke trolled the crap out of
everyone on the entire internet by with
his BS about fire Poes in the new office
Vlog before that happened I actually created like an MS paint drawing of the
new office that did include among other
things a fire Poole it is a joke that I
personally heartily enjoy but I will I
am going to educate you guys about some business realities we're not
firefighters we don't need a fire pole
arguably firefighters don't need fire Poes right so if they don't need them
then we definitely don't need them thank you for feeding into my point also fire
Poes come with a not insignificant liability concern nah can you imagine
can you imagine the look on the workers's compensation you know agent's
face when you know Taran has a repetitive strain injury due to
repeatedly going down the fire pole and they ask him what exactly does
descending a have to do with your daily work
activities as a video editor to which he would have no reply he would receive no
compensation and he would be poor with a broken wrist is that what you want if we
pointed a camera at it could be could it be a super fun
prop tell you what if nobody ever rides it not
once I will consider putting it in okay but if anyone rides
it I will remove it could you resist or is it just better
for us to say it wasn't meant to be so if we don't point a camera at it I I
think as an alternative you should enroll Luke in some pole dancing classes
yes I think that's our new
Strength I'm not even kidding Luke pole
dancing lessons it's for
turnip whatever man super fun that could
actually be a very excellent super fun LMG P dancing lessons I'll film for that
one I volunteer ble volunteers to film
the hell you will you're participating smart guy I'm on to you I think you'd
actually do the best you think I would do the best in pull dancing I think your
weight to strength ratio is probably pretty good you know what I look a lot
stronger than I am yeah but like my left ARM is weak the Nicks and I aren't going
to be able to right you guys are pretty topheavy yeah so uh Luke P dancing
lessons we've got a massive 81% voting
for yes if you're paying for it like I'm not going to say
no so what else does that apply to you
know that God should we do some actual
topics we've been on the air for 20 minutes
no okay
question are you you on the air if your
entire broadcast Wi-Fi is over
Wi-Fi so you're on someone's air yeah
but it's not the air but the the broadcasting
station it goes straight to air but the mic would go through a
cable so you're saying the air between the microphone and my mouth qualifies as
air everything has a cable at some point
everything has a cable at some point internally Poss possibly I could show
you something that doesn't have a cable wow actually my belt okay no cable well
that's possibly true but what about thread fibers thread fibers you know H
okay so we actually did a fast as possible on wires versus um cables wires
versus cables I think so I think so yes we did that no so a thread is too small
because a cable the uh the size of it
the girth of it is
implied okay um okay so Sony launches FirstLight
crowdfunding site which basically appears to be a way for Sony to get
funding for new products because they're out of money it's only in Japan the
website design is horrible op here is a good bites let's go ahead I'll uh have
you dropped this in I'm moving on it I'm going to I'm going
to pull this up on bitte here so I'm going to link this in chat but you guys
need to Google Translate it so just a heads up so first flight's initial
campaign is for a customizable remote control based on a low power
electrophoretic Electro electrooptic excuse me I misread that eaper display
similar to the harmony family except probably not functional at all because
even Logitech couldn't figure out a multifunction remote mode on their own
and acquired harmony with their years and years of expertise knowing Sony
it'll work with you know your Sony TV and your Sony receiver and your Sony
Discman and your PlayStation that you definitely have all of like the
compatible ecosystem products for okay no it's probably could use the remote to
use your cell phone which should just be the remote anyways prob it's probably
meant to be Universal but and to be clear universal remotes have gotten a
lot better in recent years with even some phone apps uh being pretty darn
impressive so um yeah I mean this to me is even more
reprehensible than reprehensible no I I
think it's the right word because like an indie product developer like uh
someone like a pebble and I'm not talking the most recent Pebble campaign
I'm talking when they were actually a small company um you know getting
crowdfunding and not contributing Equity
back to the investors funders um you you kind of get
it kind of this is like a multinational
corporation yeah not giving Equity back
to crowdfunders yeah so Whois remote
um I don't know it's kind of weird it's only in Japan that's something that we
have to remember so yeah Japan exclusive right now like apparently there's zero
plans yeah no plans to launch elsewhere at all so it's not really that important
it's just interesting that a large company went this route it's I guess
it's not the strangest thing that's ever happened in Japan no definitely not
definitely not or even at Sony
really um so oh we didn't actually
published the uh the Youtube announce I saw you like kind of looking at it I
couldn't tell if it was public or not I thought it was public but that's okay
because you the 2,800 people here now
you guys are the real MVPs yeah yeah
yeah most valuable and now that those
other people are showing up you're the MVP Everyone's an MVP most valuable
Everyone's an MVP we actually appreciate everyone who who views our content I've
had a lot of people ask me like for something like wow where it's available
a lot of different ways you can watch live on Twitch you can watch the archive
on YouTube you can listen on sound which most people don't know about we need to
talk about that more yeah which most people don't know about in fact it's the funniest thing isn't there still like an
unofficial thread in the Forum where people are uploading audio versions of
the wow podcast prob get more downloads than the SoundCloud yeah so every single
W show when it's archived on YouTube has a link to SoundCloud under it if you
just want to and and I enable download rights for all of them so you can just
download them and listen to them at your leisure so a lot of people ask me what's
the best way to support you guys to watch uh quite frankly I think the most
profitable is on Twitch I'm actually not
sure I I actually don't I don't know you get anything from twitch yeah I think so
well we don't specifically run ads so it's not a ton but I'm pretty sure the
ad that people get when they tune in because we don't do like mid roll ads or
anything yeah yeah so I'm pretty sure twitch is the the do we collect that I
don't know I don't think so finances
we're not a partner we don't have a sub button or chat emot we we are a
part well no I'm pretty sure because when I
asked for partnership for my channel which is still in limbo because the new
office isn't built yet reasons um he was
like I can give you all the partner stuff because all the thing the only
reason why I really wanted it was quality control right um he's like I can
give you like this sweet of things or this sweet of things or this sweet of
things and I was like I'll just whatever I'll just take all of it but we don't
have any of it right we used to get checks well do we
have do we have quality control I think we do I don't
know I don't know this computer is so slow oh my God I I don't know but it
says medium so I think maybe okay so so at any rate uh I don't know but the
point is we just want you guys to watch everyone's the MVP we love it when you
guys watch that's me digging myself out of the hole where I position some of our
viewers as more important than others because that is not the case we love all
of our viewers equally like children secretly all parents love some
of their children more they just won't talk about it you're a parent now which
one is it I can't talk about
it all right so NVIDIA unveils plans for
GTX 950 series range of gpus so original
article here is from kit guru.net let's
go ahead and pop this baby up um and I think this is rumor at this
point exact specifications for the GTX 950 and 950 TI or Thai as the cool kids
call it are unknown but it's uh highly likely that oh wow this is like this is
some super rumor stuff going on here it's likely they will have more than 640
but less than 1,24 stream
processors huge gap so yeah um so basically so yeah it's
funny because basically what they've done is they've created a chart yeah
this is brutal 960 and like the old 750
Ti 750 that they'd be replacing and they kind yeah probably somewhere in there
good guess uh yes probably somewhere in there uh it's safe to say that they'll
be somewhere in the sort of 150 or lower range and they will deliver up-to-date
features like DirectX 12.1 not that you'll be really enjoying any of the you
know Uber rendering features of directex 12.1 on a low-end first of a generation
of directex capable cards anyway um one
of my favorite parts of that post on kitguru was at the very bottom where it
was was like NVIDIA did not comment on this news story it's like the headline
is NVIDIA preps lowcost Graphics maybe and then whoever star
coaster that is a misleading headline that you posted online as Tech tips.com
NVIDIA unveiled nothing got us um so
it's going to feature h265 encoding and decoding fully compatible with htcp 2.2
content protection over HDMI 2.0 and
yeah so it'll be like better than the old things proportionally according to
how much better Maxwell Replacements were for the other old things in all
likelihood and power efficient in case you were concerned about that um
speaking of power efficient uh we've got a couple cool videos coming out this
week uh Fury X versus 980 TI in the
sg13 um so it's a small form factor case
we learned a bunch of really cool stuff so number one is that open test benching
I think our I think its days are over I think we're going to have to switch to
inase test benching because the results
the prevailing results out there for Fury X versus 980ti do not necessarily
align with the results that I get in a closed a more enclosed environment and
yes did you use the working furx this time I did okay a small form factor case
is not the be all and end all of computers a lot of people have big towers where an aircooled card will will
do better but now that GPU boost and whatever AMD
calls their turboing are such a key part
of the performance of a graphics card the actual system the card is installed
in becomes a major factor speaking of
systems we're actually getting a system for review for the first
time digital storm is sending us a bolt three oh cool so we're going to be able
to evaluate what I consider to be one of the coolest pre-builts out there because
it's legitimately from what people can build by themselves I mean the
differentiating factor is predominantly the cas of course but that's always
surprisingly case oh great a problem with the case case
needed to test graphics cards thing is
uh we're going to have to pick mediums and you're probably going to have to do more than one case yep cuz like that
little Silverstone case is going to perform much differently than it will
some other one so I don't actually have a clear answer as to how we'll do that
we might like we might just have to go okay everyone who's a gamer has a
fractal Arc mid2 and um that's how it's going to be
deal with it you know
sunglasses Boop that actually pretty good I was
watching it in here so I can see it properly that was fantastic um so we'll
have to figure out a strategy but I can say it was an unexpected result and then
I have another really cool one coming that really threw me for a loop I used a
high-speed camera to take our highest end g-sync monitor our 144 HZ Rog Swift
and our highest end free sync monitor our
xl2730z from Ben q and a fury X versus a
980ti and I used a high-speed camera to
detect the latency between clicking the mouse and a muzzle flash in the
animation of Crisis 3 and the results
raised more questions than they answered
but that's all I can say about it for now because uh that's all I can say
about it for now you'll have to watch the
video Yeah stop asking no one's asking anything nobody Lally because they
haven't seen it yet probably uh next uh Nexus posted this on the Forum
I've already uh posted the link don't worry about it um I realized it's
actually pretty fast for me to just do that on my way to pasting it into the
browser it is actually it's okay but sometimes I forget which is why it's
good to have you here and it's smoother that so the Star Citizen FPS module is
delayed for the foreseeable future wow that is two video ads above the
fold on one page for the same thing if you don't want to see it in WID screen
you can see it in a a little box I finally saw that uh that movie I wanted
to see um Avengers Age of Ultron okay is
that what it's called yeah AV yes I enjoyed it it was far superior to
Fury far superior to Fury burkel doesn't
even watch Marvel movies whoa yeah he's
like oh I am Burl I am a snob I do not
watch Marvel movies you know what I really enjoyed surprisingly really
enjoyed was Kingsman haven't seen Kings man Kingsman yeah it's it's ridiculous
the whole movie is just ridiculous I would probably enjoy it
sounds like my kind of thing I was talking to Brandon about it and trying to describe it and he was just very
confused and I was like just watch it and it was in the plane and he burst out
laughing many times on the plane just absolutely ridiculous anyways moving on
so it's delayed they showed it off at a like backers press event thing at I
believe PS East in April yeah they demonstrated the module there the
problem isn't that the module isn't working very well because it was
actually working fairly well at the event which is one hell of a thing if
you know how events usually go but the problem is networking back
ends so they have about 15% of the team
working on Star Marine right now it's been a pretty major Focus because it's
their next public release but the networking backend is throwing a kind of
wrench in thing so there's no like
release date now which kind of sucks but I don't
really care when does networking not throw a
wrench in things that's true but like I just I just yeah personally I'm okay
with my money being like reserved away for now I just want them to finish the
whole thing and then I'll get really excited in like 3 years four years yeah
and you know what that a game like that is going to be constantly evolving too
so you can probably kind of jump in at any time and there's going to be like
really cool new and interesting stuff to do yep um I wonder how the vote for
turnup shirt is doing this is one of those things where we just kind of like
we kind of put it together because you guys were like yeah we want to vote for
turnup shirt apparently 16 people have vote for turnup swag on order already I
want to vote for turnup shirt I'm I'm getting one I always buy them though I
mean like if I don't if I don't consider it good enough to buy then we probably
shouldn't release should yeah should it be on the store it's a pretty good
metric I guess it's like you know what that one's
kind of crap it's okay for the plebs you
know out there watching the show but me no man if you if you like run Ford but
then refuse to drive a Ford it's like hm
maybe not good yes exactly speaking
about maybe not good Warner Brothers oh
what do you mean maybe what is maybe oh
hold on can I jump in really quickly here on the subject of networking being
a like gigantic load of poo um if there
is anyone who has actually managed to
get SMB 3.0 multi-channel working and I
mean working like bonding together network interfaces like like taking a
quad gigabit Nick and a quad gigabit Nick and then a dumb switch and having
that transfer at 4 gabit speeds on a single file transfer in theory it does
that as far as I can tell it is a gigantic load of because I have
done everything fresh Windows 8.1
installs fresh Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2 fresh two ser 2012 r2s I have
tried uh link aggregation lacp I have
tried different modes of Link aggregation I have tried configuring the
Nick teaming from within the Intel driver I have tried configuring the Nick
teaming from within Windows Server 2012 r2's control center panel enable this
role and feature on the server it doesn't work I have found blog posts
from people who say it works but I have
never actually seen it work in theory
it just works no configuration no LCP no
smart switches no nothing in practice it
doesn't appear to do anything I even gotten as far as through Powershell
verifying that the SMB link is 3.02
between two Server 2012 R2 machines number of links open one number of links
that are always open one it's supposed to have multiple links
so if anyone's ever actually gotten it working and has some Pro tips I'm more
than happy to hear about them uh post on the Forum would be the best way to do
that it's down it's down it's down forum's down I know do it later um okay
so let's go ahead and move on to our next topic right Warner Brothers knew
that Arkham Knight PC was a mess months ago I'm going is not down yes yeah so
never mind so there's that so for the other like you know 150,000 people that
are going to watch then it's not you'll be fine yay you guys are MVPs too man
that's what I said so War
butts heyo yeah I remember when you used to
high five me and touch me without wiping your hands first you
learned I always used to like but you used to be a lot sweatier
yeah okay I'm sorry I'm sorry D you're toping anyways uh Warner Brother someone
there's a quote here but it doesn't say from who those are the best quotes
says I will say it's pretty rich for Warner Brothers to act like they had no
idea the game was in such a horrible State oh said one quality assurance
tester we don't know who exactly that sounds like a super
reliable quote who worked on the game for years apparently it's been like this
for months and all the problems we see now were exact were the exact same
unchanged almost a year ago
I guess do we even need to say anything else no yeah we do because because this
isn't news no that's my point
yeah obviously I mean you know the the
funny thing is is the online you know the bloggers and and even guys like us
will go how could they quality control blah blah it has nothing to do with
quality control it's not the devs we've talked about that a lot before like the
Ubisoft devs probably great not their
call to do a lot of the stuff that happens
so yeah I mean you you you I mean unless
you're like unless you're like sneaking into the office to like fix bugs on your
own time you have to do what the person writing your paycheck tells you to do
and honestly knowing some people in the gaming industry they do that they don't
sneak in but like they they fix stuff on their own time a lot of the guys do and
it's still not enough so I mean do we
need like a like a summary of like how utterly broken it is the good news is
that knows the good news is that Warner Brothers is paying for their sins uh
they are cuz they got wrecked they it is
costing them the steam fee every time you refund it which is great um steam's
refund statement is we want to apologize to those of you who are experiencing
performance issues with Batman Arkham Knight on PC we take these issues very
seriously and have therefore decided to suspend future game sales with the PC
version of course we talked about that before um it is unclear in spite of the
minor patch that addressed some crashing bugs introduced rain effects and fixed a
few other issues is unclear when it will go on sale again here's something I want
to know after Batman Arkham hold on is
Arkham Asylum Arkham City Arkham Origins
after Origins why was anyone even buying this
game especially pre-ordering it like really I didn't even I I think I got
like 25% of the way through origins and I was just like who the hell are all
these people yeah yeah like really like the big twist
at the end is that it's the The Joker I mean I would say spoiler alert
but I how is that a spoiler it's like
the most obvious thing ever it's like a bunch of non-name nonsense it's like
stupid was stupid I enjoyed Arkham Asylum a lot he did I loved Arkham
Asylum I even enjoyed Arkham City I think because partly because I left a
lot of time in between playing Arkham Asylum and Arkham City so so it felt
more new I guess yeah I didn't play it right at release so I I had kind of
forgotten that Arkham Asylum was the same damn game yeah but then I played
Arkham Origins right away afterward cuz
I was like right I bought Arkham Origins and then I was like oh I should really
play Arkham City and then I played those two back to back at least the part of
Origins that I played and I was just like do I you know what maybe I should
just replay Asylum
because you know what that linear Corridor style gameplay works really
well for Batman and you know I I I've legitimately thought about just replaying Assassin's Creed 2 before when
Unity came out and I was like this is such trash and I was like I need an Assassin's Creed fix I was like I could
just install two in brotherhoods in Ascension okay at risk of going on
another tie rate about how rubbish Final Fantasy 7 is compared to six um I have
actually done this when I forget which
Final Fantasy it was but it was really stupid and basically I put it down after
like a few hours fortunately I borrowed it from someone I did not buy it um and
I replayed the entirety of Final Fantasy 6 cuz I was just like nope nope I am
going to damn it I'm going to have a good Final Fantasy experience
today I'm not in one sitting obviously it's a pretty long game but uh that's
awesome I I finished the Starcraft 2
campaign and was like really really frustrated with the end this wings of
Liberty yeah okay it's like good enough campaign you like RTS campaigns too so
you get it it's it's a good enough campaign and then the very last
cinematic I was very frustrated with so I was like screw this went back and
played the Warcraft 3 campaign the Warcraft 3 campaign is great I love it
it is so great it's really good yeah like oh Ben yeah it's it's really good
like you actually I'm more invested in in in like the characters of Warcraft 3
in some cases than I am in some TV shows and movies like you know watching him
turn from like you know the Paladin into
like the L night or whatever nonsense I
don't even remember the character classes or whatever rexar is bad all
that stuff and like uh whatever they all it's been a long time since I played it
but that that Elder Taran guy yeah uh
crap his name is it is it BL blood hoof
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah he's awesome I love all those guys
those are just so good at that actually have we heard anything about what's that
uh what's that team based FPS that they've got going on something lock or
something over overlooked over Overwatch OverWatch yeah has there been any news
on that lately I think so yeah nothing major I think it's just been like oh
here's a new character or here's some
footage of people fighting on a map or something I don't think there's been anything huge beta confirmed for this
fall okay so yeah I'm I'm I'm gonna play it because like me too I I take a lot of
flack for not being a real gamer from people um I actually played like shed
loads of TF2 like hundreds of hours of Team Fortress 2 that's why I'm
interested in this and and but I'm done with Team Fortress 2 because it's free
to play Oh is OverWatch free to play probably oh okay well whatever uh anyway
you know seem be Blizzard's directions this is going to be like me being like a
snobby elitist well you know I paid for
The Orange Box so you know all these like trash freet to-play players it's
it's not about that it's about that it
really did change the dynamic when valve
got focused on selling hats as opposed to selling copies of a game for $59.99
it it really does change the game in a big way and there's reasons that some
valve games even ones that have free to-play aspects like say for example oh
I don't know gun skins or knife skins uh like csgo remain paid titles having that
pay barrier in place actually does keep
out some of the riff ra and I don't mean Riff Raff like people who can't afford
the game I me I mean Riff Raff like people who are buying multiple copies of
the game in order to dink with it or or
hack or just basically like not care
investing in being part of a community ultimately does tend to result in a more
invested Community member that's yeah I generally prefer paid games especially
paid MMOs freeto playay MMOs are just garbage
garbage in my opinion yes this is all I
am i o i our ho o i o ho o in our
opinion Yeah in our opinion we're basically one person as far as we can
tell I split off at some point that's why he's much larger than me yeah except
I'm older than you how does that work you must have may I split off and I took
too much matter no you were in an embryonic stage at the beginning or
something cuz you're cuz like your age doesn't start until you're born so maybe
it was pre-birth M but if we share a
mother then why is our hair color different it's not much different it
shouldn't yeah it's pretty different you're pretty blonde You' got kind of that Platinum nonsense that chicks dig
going on mine bleaches in the summer though yeah mine too but not clearly not
either that or have do you have gel in I do I don't you don't okay that could be
arranged something about marry reference
yes great work uh okay so um R9 Fury X
sound issues some people have reported
whiny pumps and PC per went as far as to
acquire I think two retail R9 Fury X's
uh this was posted on the Forum by Big stuns St and it has basically been
determined uh no I did not thank you it has basically been determined that while
AMD did tell some reviewers uh not us
that the pump whining issue that some reviewers were en counting like kind of
a high-pitched wine that you get with some cheaper pumps we had our power
supply wine but not our pump yeah and you know what the other power supplies
that I've tried it on since didn't wine so that was interesting um so our pump
didn't wind so we never really asked about it but they were told oh it's
fixed and the retail units will be fixed but PC per actually got retail units
that were whiny but some uh some
enterprising you know online community members have gone ahead and uh and and
started taking the front plates off of their Fury X's to reveal that there are
indeed two pump R Visions one with a shiny Cooler Master logo and one with a
colorful Cooler Master logo the shiny one is the new one um so if you have the
shiny you can actually check if you have the whiny pump version or the non- whiny
pump version by checking under that shroud that can
and this is something we didn't mention in our Fury x video because I complely
missed it um and I guess you did too since you hosted that video but AMD is
apparently providing the um like the the models for that front plate so you can
3D print your own like customized ones I don't that's think they told us yeah
that's pretty cool hey yeah yeah I would have liked to have called that out yeah
cuz I mean embracing the modding Community is like thumbs up from us we
love that stuff yeah um so so anyway yeah the pump wine
to be clear is nothing to do with whether the card is hey hey Ed's doing
the garbage don't forget to remind next next week's person who's that I think
it's Brandon yeah it's an order of higher date mostly except you're first
for some reason because I didn't want to make you first cuz I didn't want to like
cuz I made the schedule so I didn't want to be like ha you have to do it today so
I moved that and then everything else is there are so many things that I do just
in order of seniority more so that I just don't forget people than anything
else did you ever clean the bathroom I didn't you didn't why no I'm just
wondering I I will I well look at it this way realistically when we move out
who's going to be the one St cleaning the bathroom so at some point I will
clean it um maybe he might be asking because
there's technically no punishment if I don't clean the bathroom for someone to
miss I thought about it and then I took the garbage out
anyways uh so anyway the whining is
regardless of whether the card is underload or not underload and it's
actually something that even when I started hearing about it I didn't really
think anything of because most cheap pumps and when I say cheap I don't mean
like H it's cheap it will fail tomorrow I mean like when you're building a
custom water cooling Loop you're spending $100 on your pump an all-in-one
water cooler with a block a radiator a Pump tubing and like mounting hardware
and a fan is like less than $100 so let's just put it in perspective a cheap
pump is going to tend to have some noise whatever the silence enus
out there might think about it um so I didn't really think anything of it but
some people have been saying that apparently it's quite obnoxious whereas
our FX I could barely even notice it over like an air CPU Cooler for example
so and like I'm pretty picky you know this any of you who have ever seen my
rig in person and been like
what uh will probably know this so there
you go um uh someone in chat just asked if
we can see the chat no we cannot no um I
can look at it now it's a bunch of stuff about fire PES why am I even looking at
this nope nope you're
fired pull oh snap being fire pulled
would actually really hurt a lot fire pulled it's a large amount of metal like
someone hit you imp oh or impaled you with it impaled would hurt sort of
regardless of what it was with Y I mean unless it was not too long
wow well if it's a fire pull it's pretty did you know that
impalement is actually like like the death process is from your own body
weight no yeah yeah it's actually like
much wor like like impale can be used simply to describe like stabbing like
skewering but impalement like the execution when you're like dropped on it
is when no you're not dropped you're more placed oh right and then you like
yeah and then you you slide so the more you squirm the faster you die kind of
thing so that's sort of a gross fact that's
unfortunate maybe a factoid did you know that a factoid is an untrue fact really
yeah what this one I'll this one I'll
prove because most people don't know that factoid
definition a factoid a brief or trivial item of news or information an
assumption or speculation that is reported and repeated so often that becomes accepted as
fact wow interesting hey that becomes accepted as fact
yikes yeah kind of like that did you
know 90% of all statistics are made up on the spot or whatever thing you know
what my favorite Twitter account is which one stats Canada stats Canada it's
a fake account and it's hilarious they just released random fake statistics
about Canada and it's so funny while you
look up a real thing I'm going to look up that speaking of which we have a new
at real Canadian so our our hire from
the US is like getting his car
registration changed over today he's got his work permit I think he's planning to
start next week but he's not technically a Canadian yet no I don't think he has
citizenship he has a work permit but then once you're working in Canada for a
long time the process of applying for citizen BEC much easier becomes pretty
straightforward yeah um speaking of waiting lists this was posted by Jos on
the Forum there is now a waiting list for ipv4 addresses the end is nigh we
actually did a fastest Possible episode on ipv4 versus IPv6 and how IPv6 is
basically going to be enough for everyone in their dog to have hundreds
of thousands of IP addresses uh whereas ipv4 with the internet of things and
with all the houses being connected and businesses needing all these IP
addresses and websites and blah data centers and blah blah blah blah blah
ipv4 we are like straight up out of
addresses there are apparently only about 150,000 ipv4 addresses left in the
pool at Aaron one of five pools left worldwide so Aaron is the American
registry for internet numbers so they actually had to tell an applicant for a
new internet address to wait Holy balls now to be clear they are
reused constantly so it's not like like you you churn and burn through them or
anything like you know when you when your IP address changes with from your
ISP like your your external IP address you can have not as many as you want on
your local network but sort of as many as you want if you're a network admin
and you're super smart about it um
like okay the point is going down a weird tunnel here sir yeah don't worry
about worry about that tunnel yes you can assign
192.168.0 Point whatevers to your heart's content behind your your outward
facing uh IP address but that one can be
reassigned and recycled by your internet service provider so when you're done
with it they might pass it along to Jeff down the street or or whatever the case
may be a Jeff so um blah blah blah
so yeah so some of the ones that have
been assigned may get returned if an address holder goes out of business or
fails to pay its dues and there will be a few more distributions from a global
pool run by I can but for now getting weight listed is mostly a problem for
bigger entities but it is definitely a
thing interesting so I P V6 which has
some very um unfortunate compatibility
implications for older Network hardware and there's going to be some Hardware
upgrades there there there will be and they but they've been rolling out fv6
stuff for a really long time of course it will be a absolute crap storm yes but
they've been working on this for a really long time like it's been in
progress and like I mean okay it's like the uh we just shot a fast as possible
about um Wi-Fi security and like the the number of Articles
while I was researching and the the amount of facts that there is behind people
still using WP and
WPA encrypted passwords on their Wi-Fi access points is is obscene especially
when you consider that it has been by law you've had to have WPA2 support on
anything with a Wi-Fi sticker on it since 2006 for like 9 years I mean who
is actually using a computer from years ago when did wrt54 GS come out oh wow I
don't know I I'm pretty sure it supports WPA
to of course there's a Wikipedia article look specific R the GL is the kind of
the important one here this guy 1.3
yeah um doesn't have a date wow thanks
for that Wikipedia wow you're useless yeah useless pedia horrible I'm going to
to ignore your donation request even harder next time more than 20 I actually
donated last time to be clear I love Wikipedia I think what they do is
December of 2002 was the WRT54G well there you go so it's
probably a whole bunch of those great to be completely honest I
wouldn't be surprised at all oh my goodness speaking of things to
not be surprised about the W show has
sponsors yeah so our sponsor today are
linda.com CRF Linda what is going on
with the freaking doc here
it what the heck are you look the whole
thing shifted over I know there's no scroll bar I don't understand the things
that I'm seeing I am going to open a new tab never seen that before lonus is
solution to everything open a new
tab that my friends is why I have so
many browser tabs God it's like quick
scroll wheel click scroll wheel click damn it okay uh so linda.com used by
millions of people worldwide okay now I told you that you were going to have to
have your mom's site on linda.com by the time we did our next spot but I wasn't
expecting it to be the following week did I say Linda right that makes no
sense linda.com can teach you to make a website that's true it can in fact it
can teach you many of the skills that you'll need to uh to um to to work on
your Squarespace website okay let's talk about linda.com so they've got more than 3,000 courses available with topics like
web development uh photography visual design
and business they also do software training like Excel and WordPress
Photoshop um now the thing about linda.com is it's not just for you young
techsavvy kids it can be for people like your parents if they're looking to
become young techsavvy kidss and they've given up on the young part and kids part
because they're your parents they can't be kids unless of course they have
parents in which case they would kids so the point is whether you want to set new
financial goals work life balance invest in a new hobby ask your boss for a raise
find a new job or improve upon your current skill sets uh invest in
linda.com you can get a 10day free all you can eat trial and plan started only
$25 a month head over to linda.com wow
to try it out and start learning today which leads us into the second sponsor
now I did set that deadline I didn't realize we'd be doing a Squarespace spot
the following week did you by any chance get the migration finished it's there
it's not done yet it's not fully done yet okay let's wait for the next one so
for those of you who missed it I was mortified through the entire Squarespace
sponsor spot last week because Luke in his infinite bloody wisdom told me that
his mom's site which we'll show you next Squarespace but his mom's site was on
Squarespace and that's why it was great and stable and wouldn't crash so I was
like yeah I'm totally getting like I'm
totally getting worked like a like a like a a a uh a cookie
dough I couldn't think of something you got there it's fine yeah I'm totally
getting I'm totally getting worked here but we're going to show the site anyway
here's Luke's mom's site it crashed immediately because it wasn't actually
on Squarespace so I'm sitting there we've got hostgator.com or something on
my screen share in the middle of me doing a Squarespace ad integration and
I'm like wow I really hope they don't watch this I got an email
like three hours later from our Squarespace contact who's not just our
Squarespace contact he watches the show
okay I was hoping he missed it that week
and he's just like dude that was hilarious that was like the funniest
thing I've ever watched like I swear he
enjoyed watching me stew so they haven't
dropped us they're still they're still sponsoring us and why do we love Square
Face well because they have a rocking ass product you can make yourself a cool
website whether it's for a store a Blog a portfolio or you just want to make a
website because you think websites are cool their plans start at $8 a month
they'll throw in a free domain if you sign up for an entire year you can save
10% if you use offer code Linus on squarespace.com their websites work
great across a variety of devices and they make it so easy anyone can do it
with 247 email tech support but why else
do we like working with Squarespace because they have a sense of humor and
they can handle working with us they've worked with us for a long
time and they've seen some bad sponsor spots man the worst of which was last
week yes there's been many bad on they put up with us anyway and that's what
business is about is about relationships we have dropped sponsors I
I don't like airing dirty laundry and I'm not going to name any names but some
people figured out one of them when we did a jack threads integration recently
so we have dropped sponsors because it's
all about figuring out are you working together and sometimes we get a
complaint about a sponsor whether it's through our Forum or through you know
contact information on our website which is powered by Squarespace not the Forum
by the way they don't have a forum module um but just Alliance medag
group.com website we we get
complaints sometimes and that doesn't
mean we drop a sponsor immediately because there there's always going to be
trouble but when we take that to the sponsor and they don't deal with it in a
in an awesome manner right away then we see that as a huge problem because we
don't want to be repping guys that aren't taking care of you guys aw that
puts us in a super awkward position
where we have to be bad people basically and neither Luke nor I wants to be bad
people nope we might roleplay bad people sometimes but that's not actually being
bad
people anyways moving on um we have more
news about things uh yeah some of these are very rapid fire um Windows 10 will
be rolling out and yeah we we'll talk about yeah yeah that's a big deal uh
Windows 10 will be rolling out in waves not everyone will get it at launch this
was posted by Bozo on the Forum but if you have the little Windows icon in the
bottom right hand corner of your computer and you've reserved already
then you'll get it in the first wave so that's great cuz I like hardcore did
that I think I did that on one of my god did I reserve this one yes I think I did
I did it on one of my computers and then I tried to do it on my other one and it
never gave me the option to actually reserve it oh maybe that is what
happened cuz I have reserved on oh maybe
this one didn't Reserve no but I got a confirmation for this one yes view
confirmation okay I'll go do that on my other computer yeah click view confirmation and then you guys should be
able to see buy hell your upgrade is
reserved so if you have that then you should be okay yeah and you can cancel
your reservation apparently I have no idea you could do that I don't want to I
want Windows 10 me too uh what else we got here uh the Plex forums were
compromised hackers gained IP addresses passwords and more so this was
originally posted on Droid Life I'm going to go ahead and fire that up here
um did you post this in they got encrypted Forum passwords yeah uh
although um H I'm I'm going to go gather
the Microsoft
one yeah okay uh encrypted Forum
password words are not always the most secure thing in the world now to be
clear the ones on Linus Tech tips.com
currently uh using IP board thumbs up uh
but we have encountered in the past with other Forum software um user password
encryption that was uh not strong enough
to resist some fairly rudimentary um migration so to
speak um
that is all that is all we have to say that made us very very uncomfortable and
absolutely everything was destroyed immediately um so there you go uh so
there you go if you're on Plex then you should probably be uh you should
probably be not using that password anywhere else ever and stuff like that
uh just in general highly recommend using a password keeper um so that
things like bunk passwords can be changed without so you can use different
passwords everywhere without actually having to remember them all we should
probably do like like an LSD episode of
like password Keepers cuz you've done a fair bit of research on them I have but
I'm finding issu for every piece of good
news there's two pieces of bad news yeah is how it kind of goes isn't it yeah um
so this is really interesting Facebook set to become a serious YouTube
competitor original article here is from recode.net and I don't know how much
stock I would put in this but did you ever read that article that I sent you
and Nick that was uh subject line required reading so did
you yes I did subtle hint
there yeah so I read and Luke read um or
at least he tells me he read actually no you replied to that with some with some
insightful comments so okay I believe you read it um so we read not together
like sitting together on the couch like reading it together um we read a really
cool article about about how much traction Facebook has in online video
without anyone actually really realizing it and it makes sense because of the
amount of sheer views that like our videos get yep and and little tweaks
that Facebook has put in place like autoplay as you're scrolling past it
with manual audio enabling smartest
thing ever I mean that's that's what some newer platforms like vessel for
example is doing stuff like that video thumbnails inspired by Harry Potter is
apparently what Facebook's developers said about this feature it makes sense
cuz if if it's moving it's going to be more interesting yes yes there's
legitimately been fa uh videos on Facebook that I've seen start going
especially very action heavy ones like super fun Style videos that I've been
like oh wa okay wait that looks pretty interesting when you see the ball
sitting still at the top of the Green Hill the big red ball it's like okay
when you see a bunch of dudes shoving it down the hill it's like okay that's more
interesting AUD we obviously believe that online video is the future we
wouldn't be investing our lives in creating online video I like to think um
but Facebook is set
to change the game a little bit cuz right now I mean Facebook for premium
content I consider kind of laughable I don't expect someone to watch an entire
video in that tiny window like an entire review in that little window uh Facebook
doesn't have tools for creators that allow us to see things like audience
engagement we can see a view number we don't know what they watched we don't
know how much they watched we don't know how engaged they were it it's really
very meaningless like they're still way behind in terms of more premium content
something that YouTube has made enormous strides towards but the one of the big
obstacles that prevented people from even wanting to post on Facebook was
that Facebook wasn't sharing ad Revenue
well now that's the big news Facebook
will start sharing ad Revenue with video creators same rev split as YouTube which
is pretty interesting um yeah I don't
know the sharability of Facebook is intense yeah like wow totally different
like it's like if YouTube's mainstream Facebook is like is like you're born
with it kind of thing like Facebook is super M People starting to do that
people starting to uh make Facebook accounts to their kids absolutely it's
the same idea you were talking about this a while ago about making a Gmail
account yeah it's the same kind of idea you post things to their Facebook page
before they actually start using it yep yeah this is this is all this is all
stuff that is that is a big deal and I mean we as online video creators didn't
even really need more of an incentive to upload to Facebook because it's super
simple you just drag and drop and you copy paste like if you're already
publishing somewhere uh this is this is really interesting we're at the very
final stages of signing a deal to get our content translated and posted on
Chinese video sharing sites so uh so it'll actually have uh Mandarin
subtitles yeah um and baked into the
videos and this will be an official Linus Media Group Endeavor so so for us
posting to something like Facebook where English is fine is even way less work um
so we've been posting there regardless of whether we're getting an ad share or not and so now to be offered an ad share
is even more compelling because it's just more reach it's just a broader
audience I thought in the early days of lonus tech tips you know maybe it'll be
possible to have 100,000 subscribers someday maybe there are a 100,000 people
on Earth who are interested in the kind of technology that I talk about that's
what I thought and I learn day after day
week after week that the sky limit on this thing new enthusiasts are born
every day and I don't mean that in the like h it's a play on the sucker is born
every minute no no it's not like that it's just we're replenishing our supply
new enthusiasts are coming to take the place of the ones who you know lose
interest or or whatever the case may be and so that's how we've continued to
grow and and and this audience is is it seems like practically unlimited so yeah
we're going to post to more video sharing sites and yeah it's a good thing
umle ask people where they where they like watching videos the most and do
like a bunch of the kind of main ones so
Facebook uh YouTube YouTube um vessel where else do
we publish we'll we'll do Google+ as uh
YouTube because it is um
mobile mobile is that fair CU a lot of
these things have mobile options though um can I segment it
out can I say YouTube desktop
that's going to be a lot of pull options but sure you can add more so yeah does
Google so so through and when we say goog plus we're talking like through go+
like you're actually on Google+ watching like viewing a video isn't that just
YouTube links though embedded YouTube videos yes I think so okay okay so let's
leave that out and I'm actually going to switch be I'm going to uh I'm going to
uh break out iOS and Android okay um and
then I I'll leave in another
um can you think of anything else Daily Motion I don't think it's going to get
any votes but Daily Motion I I already
know the answer to that because our videos have been on Daily Motion forever
like we've been um like it's actually automatically uploaded from YouTube um
like that there's an official LTT daily motion and no one watches it no um like
what else is there I mean really Facebook and YouTube
are the ones twitch yeah twitch is something I was thinking about so twitch
um uh as
Boo and we're talking in terms of experience not necessarily where you
watch where do you prefer to watch who delivers the best online video watching
experience in your mind and there's a lot of different ways to interpret this
and you'll just have to kind of leave it up to you whether you whether your experience is mostly dictated by the you
know the compression algorithm or whether your experience is mostly
dictated by the discoverability of fun new content uh that's entirely up to you
TV G oh sorry I it's fine it's not going to get any anyways okay so I'm going to
go ahead and post that
um who was saying vessel vessel's in there vessel's in there yeah don't worry
got oh Vimeo oh we okay uh people people
who want Vimeo just just other I mean basically other is going to be Vimeo at
this point I think yeah uh so hold on I
wanted to go back to the notes from that Facebook thing so Facebook claims they can get
more eyeballs than YouTube by being a social network first and video platform
second which I think is an interesting point because I would make the argument that YouTube is very much a social
network I mean to call it anything else is sort of stupid um there's saying it's
a social network first they're not saying it's not a social network yes
that's true um but one thing that they are correct about is that YouTube's
social network is less less group oriented it's more wheel
and spoke where it's like you've got your hubs the creators and then you've
got the people interacting with them the spokes don't interact with each other as
much the way that they would on something like Facebook where it's all
spokes pretty much and then hubs are just bigger spokes so to speak um and
this is an interesting quote those people don't need to be following your Facebook page either last I checked
someone can Google search how to build a computer and they can find our videos they don't have to be following us on
Facebook YouTube Twitter gole Plus or you
know this polls going extremely skewed I
know I know but it's still you know it's
always nice to hear from the twitch chat well yeah no it's true I just something
that I thought of outside of the fact that everyone's watching on Twitch right
now is that um the mobile versions are
going to be harder to vote on
yes oh for you guys I didn't think about
that so Android and iOS would probably be considerably higher so this is
interesting well no remember too though the question is where do you prefer to
watch videos not where do you do it necessarily yeah but if someone's
currently doing it there's a higher percentage likeliness that they're going to prefer doing it true that's very true
still overwhelming majority major majority overwhelming majority are
saying YouTube desktop and I think it would be that way anyways I just think
the numbers would be slightly different yeah because I mean we see from our
mobile viewership numbers that more of you are watching on mobile than
necessarily prefer to watch on mobile um
with a actually 7% of you saying vessel you know vessel implemented a really
cool feature recently where the video just gets small and plays at the top
when you scroll and read the comments as a Creator 95% of what I'm interested in
on the video playback page is comments comments yeah and so being a but being
able to kind of watch the video in the corner of my eye is like oh yeah that's kind of neat cuz a lot of the time the
editors throw in stuff that I don't think of especially fast as possible and
Channel Super Fun those are as much fun for me to watch as you guys I think
we've got some fun Channel super funs coming we actually filmed you weren't
here yesterday I haven't properly been in one in like a month and a half oh my
goodness okay so it's been a long time
the uh the golf one is pretty hilarious I had Jack from NC Tech tips film with
me and so we play golf on a pitch and Putt course with PL clubs and plastic
balls um and then the one we filmed yesterday is this game if you can even
call it a game it's just stupid um where
you hold four handles each person holds
a handle and then it plays spooky music and like a light changes color and you
have to press the button as fast as you can or you get an electric shock and
it's pretty similar to the dog cers okay so it's like it's not like hey you were
last it's like hey don't be last again yeah
poor Brandon that's all I have to
say and like the more times you get shocked it seems like the slower Brandon
gets probably that makes
sense
um what's up there's selfie pay for MasterCard I actually didn't read this
what the hell is this this is supposed by Jaws on the Forum I I'm going to let
you handle this cuz I actually didn't make it this far in my doc prep today I
was I was busy organizing all the videos that I need to do over the next couple
of months it turns out that if not a single new product were released nor a
single new idea generated by anyone who works at Linus Media Group we would have
enough content to make it through the next quarter or so yep oop um there's
there's there's uh some interesting counter points to this whole idea but
basically you get a Microsoft uh or Microsoft you get a Master Card app on
your phone and then for authorization of payment you take a selfie so uses facial
recognition now to get get around people using still photos they make you blink
once but that doesn't mean you couldn't just like hold the phone there no
because getting a video of someone blinking once hold on I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to
switch to full screen so you can see the look on my face better I think that's what a lot of
people did um a bunch of people are saying from
a privacy standpoint this is awful
because then MasterCard is just going to
have like endless amounts of videos of you looking at a camera and all of your
banking information but MasterCard is stating that they're only holding ones
and zeros not photos or fingerprints
which are made of ones and
zeros anyways it's super weird I don't
really know uh one thing that you guys might be enjoying right now is that HTML
5 chat is now live on Twitch I'm going to post this into the twitch chat um
okay I can my face actually started to stick there oh wow I'm super not
impressed with selfie pay no I don't
think many people care why does it take apple to revolutionize mobile payments
because everyone else is a complete idiot because people at MasterCard were
like the young people the young people like taking selfies let's make let's
make credit card selfies um anyways apparently it kicked
off on June 30th it's a actually a lot better than the previous flash base chat
thank freaking goodness that we're getting away from flash uh chat loads
apparently four times faster chat uses fewer CPU resources and you don't need
to do anything to upgrade as long as you're using a websocket capable browser
let's um let's do a thing let's reload
this page and see if the chat slows it
down it worked we benchmarked it wow
oh geez luckily most benchmarks online is
Tech tips are better than
that actually have some amount of comparative
data actually have an ounce of thought put into them I'm going to F5 and see
what happens woooo okay anyways that's super cool I'm
very happy about that personally what else do we have to say oh iPhone 6s
leaks right uh original article here is from 9 5 Mac so the chassis has been
revealed uh this is really unexpected to
people who have never seen an Apple product release cycle before um but the
iPhone 6s will look nearly identical outside but will feature numerous
changes inside right when the iPhone 7 comes out we should release a chassis
leak of the iPhone iPhone 7S we should
we'd be first yes that would be awesome so
according to the the leak basically nothing is going to change about the
outside in fact even less than usual like in the past we've seen things like
an antenna line here or a logo there or
whatever else like little tiny changes uh this time it looks like pretty much
nothing in spite of Apple's patent filing for a way to anodise their uh
their antenna lines which personally I don't even mind the antenna line I don't
think it's that big of a deal I mean we're not talking like panty lines here it's just an antenna line everybody's
got to have antennas and we all know that no one should be wearing panties so
that's why it's much less offensive no you just like people going commando oh
yeah I'm all about the commander are you Commander right now um no but I'm
wearing skin tight panties so you don't see the lines what color are they
they're black because I is that like a glossy black or a matte black remember
Black Panties are only for when you expect and or want someone to see
them is this from me I think it's from are you there God it's me Margaret
which is a book it might not be from that book enjoy that might not be a book
at all in Seattle I got to see The Princess Bride props no way physical
props shut up what uh the swords shut up
um the one of the main dresses the the
uh the As You Wish suit thing no way in
person sick I even know they that also
Star Wars stuff is it touring or is it like a museum or something like can I go
yeah yes oh my good oh wow also Star Wars wait I think I'm I'm going to
Seattle shortly go to the uh EMP EMP
museum EMP museum yeah definitely like right beside the Space Needle um there's
Star Wars they have all the new stuff they also have a bunch of old stuff there's two main like themed rooms going
on can I skip the new stuff yeah can I
never look at it I I can tell you how to avoid the new stuff because I went to
the new stuff and was like I don't want to see any of this and then eventually found the old stuff and was like awesome
and then left and went to the other areas but there's a fantasy area where
they have um Princess Bride and they have Lord of the Rings and stuff in
there as well then there's a Sci-Fi area that has like Star Wars stuff and Star
Trek stuff and then there's a dedicated Star Wars area oh I have to go down
there for that I'm actually I'm going down for uh Chris perillo's vlogger fair
thing oh cool yeah uh I'm only going down for like one day cuz I think
there's like an industry day or something like that and I'm like yeah I
don't really care um so if like if people want go check it out uh vlogger
fair I have a discount code or something so you can get 15% off your admission um
I I don't I don't really I don't I don't know I I don't know how much admission
costs or anything like I'm I'm not I don't get paid or anything I'm just going down to kind of hang out and uh I
couldn't make it last year and I had told Chris that I really wanted to make
it so I can make it this year so if I didn't make it this year then I'd
basically be just being a gigantic douche canoe so wow I didn't want to do
that um yeah go to that thing there's also like it's supposed to be a music
place the majority of the stuff in there is actually props oh I give zero craps
about that so yeah yeah there's like Nirvana
and exactly no he's a big deal he he used to
put acid in his headband Jimmy Hendrick yes there's jimmi Hendricks and Nirvana
for music exhibits and then there's just like actually cool things at the props
like I I I like I like the music stuff but like there's I don't know it was
much less interesting than the props which I felt was weird considering it's
a music museum right anyways so the uh
iPhone 6s will allegedly feature a
pressure sensitive display so that's that new Force touch thing that we've
seen on um the MacBook 2015 where I
really liked it and the Apple watch where I think it's a gigantic steaming
hunk of completely unnecessary nonsense so uh whether they do a better job in
the iPhone 6s remains to be seen there was rumors that there would be a dual
element camera or something like that it looks like that will not be the case um
space gray will remain light in contrast with the space gray Apple watch which is
darker it's amazing the kinds of things that Apple people care about uh same
connectors um are is rumored so we might
still be looking at a lightning connector as opposed to a USB type-c
connector but this is a leak none of it
could be real so yeah head to 9o5 Mac if
you're interested in learning more about it otherwise um I guess we could move on
to not Apple things whoa there's been a bunch of Reddit drama like super duper
Reddit drama um basically like the the
The Exodus seems to be kind of starting between the finally cuz they freaked out
last time and then we're like I guess we'll just keep using Reddit you know
what one funky town thing though yeah everyone is talking about leaving Reddit
on Reddit like I guarantee you Reddit has a
huge traffic Spike right now yeah I was
talking to someone about this earlier today and it's just like
guys man like the AMA request for whatever the heck her name is the chick
that's running Reddit now um is like one of the most upvoted things like
ever just if you want to protest just actually leave basically Ahmad was
unexpectedly let go from her position with Reddit um some mods were not
notified the admins didn't realiz how important she was something something
was made public again later as far as I know no one knows specifically how or
why she got fired y there's already been job offers for her mods have been
increasingly upset over the admins not keeping them or the users in the loop as
much as they believe they should they H to get a better relationship with it was
an admin yeah sorry excuse me it was an admin who who did a lot for the AMA yeah
so there you go some subreddits shut down so would comment on them um notably
r/f funny books Science music gaming history art jokes documentaries today I
learned so like some like reddits that even I've heard of as not a redditor and
like that I've browsed as not particularly a redditor so uh there you
go the rebels are the rebels are rising
or rousing Rebel R hopefully they remember for more than like 4 days it's
Reddit so I don't know I don't even remember remember what the last thing
was I think they like closed down some subreddits or something and like Reddit
exploded for like 24 hours and then no
one gave a crap okay I mean it's not like I don't
think it's specific to Reddit I think it's just any mainstream site a very
mainstream site is going to have your very mainstream user who is not the
emotionally invested user so as like
once something reaches that critical mass um it
takes it has a lot of momentum I mean that's what critical mass means um so
once you reach that critical mass you gain a lot of momentum and even if you lose some really important like Keystone
pieces of a community it can keep a lot of momentum for a long time you could
potentially have a huge amount of mass without momentum yes if you weren't
moving thank you but that's not what
people mean when they say reaching critical mass so I think you understood
me fully and are just being a jackass and on that note thank you for
