1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,920
and okay we're actually live this time

2
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:11,040
woo we got that going no problem no big deal not a thing yeah oh is a thing but

3
00:00:08,679 --> 00:00:20,279
it's a it's an okay thing so we've got a great show for you guys today I'm here

4
00:00:16,359 --> 00:00:22,840
Luke's here and uh John might be making

5
00:00:20,279 --> 00:00:28,320
an appearance really for one specific topic oh do we have another legal topic

6
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:30,880
yeah oh I see you know those are actually some of the most interesting

7
00:00:29,439 --> 00:00:36,239
ones for me he'll go off on some where he's like

8
00:00:34,239 --> 00:00:42,039
I'll have some misconception or whatever and he'll go off he'll be like well

9
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,840
actually it works this way or in this

10
00:00:42,039 --> 00:00:47,719
specific state or whatever it turns out that I got an education for a reason and

11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:53,079
you probably should have gone to school and you know oh no I disagree with that

12
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:57,120
for your specific use case not for everybody really okay you know what's

13
00:00:54,559 --> 00:01:04,799
funny is I actually had lunch with a local content producer yeah um earlier

14
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,960
this week like she she does like this

15
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:13,439
kind of vertically integrated content production for uh business professionals

16
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:15,560
okay that's like about stocks and like

17
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:21,040
business tips and stuff like that and apparently their program actually airs

18
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:25,680
uh among other things on one of Fox's things like a fox business thing okay

19
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:30,159
and then also on like Air Canada flights like very old media yeah you know like

20
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:36,720
relationships with you know know National Airlines and like Network TV

21
00:01:34,399 --> 00:01:40,880
and um anyway so she wanted to have lunch I had no idea what she wanted uh

22
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:46,560
basically we did like a studio tour Taran was instructed by someone who

23
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:48,799
works with her doing some stuff over at

24
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:53,280
BCIT and the funny thing is Taran brought me into their studio so that I

25
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:57,960
could see how like a proper company does things and maybe we should have edit

26
00:01:55,759 --> 00:02:02,880
Suites and maybe we should have this and maybe we should have that and it turned

27
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,719
out that in much the same way as us they learned as they went and there were a

28
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:10,920
lot of things they did better than us and there are a lot of things we do better than them so that was

29
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:14,400
enlightening and fun did they do edit Suites uh they do have edit Suites that

30
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,640
was what he wanted me to see what he didn't want me to see was all the other

31
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:26,160
kind of janky stuff like the fact that they literally have footage archived on

32
00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:28,879
betas still whoa yeah but remember

33
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:33,560
broadcast TV that was a thing but you'd think you'd move it a lot more recently

34
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:39,680
where you would actually be submitting finished projects by mailing a beta mag

35
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:44,519
t or not a beta Max sorry it's like they were two different standards yeah like

36
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:48,640
the the the broadcast tape version and like the one that competed with VH

37
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:51,680
anyway the point the point is they still have like a sh and this is after they

38
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:56,920
cleaned up they have like a shelf of betas and I'm like You're great and uh I

39
00:02:55,519 --> 00:03:01,319
was telling them about the Vault and stuff and they're like yeah that would be pretty cool and Tan's like yeah yeah

40
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,400
that's pretty useful maybe I don't have an editing Suite but I do have that

41
00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:10,560
anyway the point is um she asked me to have lunch with her and um she she

42
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:15,280
didn't really tell me what it was about it turned out she wanted me to talk some

43
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:19,599
sense into her son okay who had this idea in his head that he was going to he

44
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:23,360
has two videos uploaded to YouTube and you know you probably get this all the

45
00:03:21,319 --> 00:03:27,480
time too right people being like how do I be a successful YouTuber especially on

46
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:31,879
my not to plug it but especially on my stream yeah especially on your streams

47
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:35,360
cuz like you have which is hilarious because my stream sucks and like nobody

48
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:40,080
watches it and people ask me how to be a successful streamer and I'm like you think I know I'm glad you said that

49
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:46,000
because I was going to crap on your stream a little bit yeah no it's ter I was going to be like yeah like and your

50
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:48,959
stream's not even that big or anything

51
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:53,480
and charity like but you have a lot more success streaming than like you know how

52
00:03:51,159 --> 00:03:58,000
it's like the first thousand subscribers on YouTube is the hardest right you've

53
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:02,599
passed that first handful of twitch subscribers never took a further step

54
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:06,560
and phoned it in the rest of the way but you clearly know enough to know

55
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:11,799
a thing that people would ask you about it anyway so so usually when people ask

56
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:16,680
that question it starts with yeah I just uploaded my first video or I just did my

57
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:21,799
first stream what would you recommend and the guy's like yeah so I want to do

58
00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:23,120
like a um like a fitness clothing line

59
00:04:21,799 --> 00:04:30,199
and I want to do like a fitness lifestyle Vlog and uh and way way to

60
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:33,520
compete against everyone yeah and it was

61
00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:35,440
funny because his mom's giving me

62
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:39,759
additional details like yeah he wants me to pay for plane tickets so he can like

63
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:46,720
travel interesting places for his lifestyle Vlog of course and so I was

64
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:49,720
like yeah all right bro one I'm not

65
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:52,000
going to side with your mom and and just

66
00:04:49,720 --> 00:05:00,560
say straight up stay in school could be a decent strategy because I didn't

67
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:00,560
nothing don't worry about it really

68
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,240
I mean if she's got plane tickets go all around the world okay all right I

69
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:09,440
thought you were going somewhere else with that no no totally

70
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:15,880
no anyway yeah I'm not siding with his

71
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:21,160
mom directly cuz like the whole school thing didn't work out very well for me

72
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:25,680
but I was also like on the other hand dude if you're going to succeed as a

73
00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:32,759
social media influencer you won't succeed unless you have a the passion

74
00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:34,520
and B the dve slor ethic to do it on the

75
00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:40,000
side yeah so if you don't have anything better to do then stay in school but

76
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:43,800
don't lose track of that this should be your full-time side project yeah and

77
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:48,360
that was sort of the advice that I gave and the guy like he looked like I you

78
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:52,680
know punched him in the stomach well and I was bigger than I

79
00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:58,840
am my biggest thing oh my goodness thank you Nick um my biggest thing is like the

80
00:05:56,039 --> 00:06:03,639
the Nick as should be paying me for this yeah I've been drinking out of this

81
00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:05,319
bottle on W show for years yeah you can

82
00:06:03,639 --> 00:06:08,840
call out that person who uh you called out in the super fun yeah okay maybe

83
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:14,720
I'll do that I don't think he controls any budget spending there so it won't do

84
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:17,039
me any good but that's fine um hey Seuss

85
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:20,400
pay us the money for product placement okay see you can never get money for

86
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:24,440
product placement if you have product placement all over your stuff for free

87
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:29,160
anyway people are everyone looks at it and they just go why so why would I pay

88
00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:35,000
for this you're do any ever done a success straight up product placement

89
00:06:31,599 --> 00:06:36,840
deal I don't think so we tried to do

90
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,639
something with a smartwatch like with Pebble I think like a thousand years ago

91
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:45,039
and then Pebble wouldn't even send us review samples and then they got bought

92
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:49,440
yeah so that's about how successful we've been whatever yeah maybe they

93
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:53,919
should have done that that marketing spot anyway um okay so my thing

94
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:58,199
especially people are in his specific position where you're like he's uploaded

95
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:02,800
two videos yes my whole thing is like I don't care and you shouldn't

96
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:06,639
upload way more that's your big problem right now is you just need to do it a

97
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:11,120
whole bunch because there's going to be things that you're missing doing it

98
00:07:08,599 --> 00:07:17,400
doing it learn from doing it yeah okay anyway like a you know all right let's

99
00:07:14,039 --> 00:07:17,400
roll the intro

100
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:36,599
I don't know if the uh the L show announcement went up oh it did look at

101
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:40,479
that LTX I'm actually getting a lot more

102
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:45,840
confident that this is going to be a lot of fun yeah um the case toss was really

103
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:51,360
fun we put uh we put actually we put Colton's wife in charge of the event

104
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:54,319
yeah because previously we had Colton in

105
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:58,479
charge um because they had such a wonderful and well organized wedding and

106
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:03,319
then we found out that of course he had nothing to do with it so we hired his

107
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:05,039
wife and she is doing a bang up job so

108
00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:13,280
far there is going to be a lot of fun stuff to do also fresh books yay woo

109
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:15,960
fresh books and EK water

110
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:19,520
blocks now hold on a second actually you know what I'll get into it in the

111
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:23,080
sponsor spot but that is not as crazy as it sounds yeah that whole thing that I

112
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:29,479
just put on the screen there

113
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:31,240
uh okay so first uh first topic you know

114
00:08:29,479 --> 00:08:37,279
you know what let's jump right into the good stuff today the original article here is from

115
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:45,120
PC perspective and it was posted on the Forum by E kin and our buddy Mr the one

116
00:08:42,719 --> 00:08:51,880
and only Ryan shastic got his hand on an AMD Vega

117
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:55,959
Frontier Edition and how he did this I

118
00:08:51,880 --> 00:09:00,279
can tell you he bought it the same as we

119
00:08:55,959 --> 00:09:03,240
had to ours is in the mail okay AMD is

120
00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:08,040
not sampling Frontier Edition why might they not oh actually

121
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:14,160
you know what's really funny is I didn't even read the article purchased directly

122
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:19,000
from a reseller rather than being

123
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:20,560
sampled from AMD um so why didn't they

124
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:25,200
want to sample this to press well there are a number of uh potential

125
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:30,920
explanations for that can you think of any uh well they've been moving this way

126
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:33,680
for a while they okay that's true on the

127
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:37,120
professional cards the fire fire class cards and actually kind of both sides

128
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:40,839
have been moving this way a little bit inv Vidia has still been on their gaming

129
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:44,079
cards have been pushing really hard but AMD for a little while now has been

130
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:50,079
saying that they don't want to give out as many reviewer sample cards cuz they want to do more seeding into the

131
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:54,040
community and NVIDIA did not sample the Titan xpp yeah we have a video coming

132
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:57,680
featuring it soon but we borrowed it from somebody and they're trying to line

133
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:02,399
this card up more against those that's true okay my now I'm going to contribute

134
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:07,480
a potential reason uh potential reason number two yields are very low and they

135
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:10,200
don't have a lot of them yeah okay so that might be another one you got

136
00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:16,160
another one um I doubt this is a thing MH but even

137
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:20,000
maybe everyone is buying every single card everywhere for AMD right now

138
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:24,839
because of mining okay okay so they like know that it will sell immediately so

139
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:27,920
price so rather than giving away literally money in the bank which when

140
00:10:26,959 --> 00:10:32,160
you're AMD and like with their press right now

141
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:36,560
they might not even need reviews of this thing because everyone talking about AMD

142
00:10:34,399 --> 00:10:40,680
stuff is super popular right now and very positive right now so it's going to

143
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:44,680
be popular and positive anyways and then everyone's buying it anyways because of

144
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:48,160
mining so they might not even need the marketing that they would get from

145
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:55,839
sending it okay which brings us then to reason number four which I actually

146
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:58,639
think might be the most likely Vega does

147
00:10:55,839 --> 00:11:07,000
not look like it is going to set the world on on fire and AMD and for that

148
00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:11,680
matter um I mean who hasn't done this

149
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:15,320
but AMD has demonstrated in the past a a

150
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:18,320
lower level of eagerness to seed

151
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:23,399
products that they don't think are going

152
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:26,880
to be as exciting in an attempt to if

153
00:11:23,399 --> 00:11:29,880
not limit independent coverage of them

154
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:33,279
at least not spend money on getting

155
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:35,279
independent coverage of them so let's

156
00:11:33,279 --> 00:11:39,040
give a a brief outline of what it is so the Vega Founders Edition is not

157
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:43,839
explicitly aimed at Gamers Frontier Edition sorry I did that

158
00:11:41,639 --> 00:11:47,560
a lot on the announcement video like really you guys I actually might have

159
00:11:45,639 --> 00:11:52,760
another Walkin the park coming on AMD's naming schemes cuz I'm getting real Fed

160
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:55,639
Up um so the Vega Frontier Edition like

161
00:11:52,760 --> 00:12:00,160
almost sort of copy everyone else yeah not explicitly aimed at Gamers uh like

162
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:05,880
NVIDIA Titans we shouldn't expect the best performance per dollar okay uh

163
00:12:03,399 --> 00:12:11,160
gaming results though and this is this is kind of uh this kind of throws up

164
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:19,560
some warning flags because with gaming results between a GTX 1070 and a

165
00:12:14,959 --> 00:12:21,760
1080 priced at $1,000 for the 300 watt

166
00:12:19,560 --> 00:12:28,160
version this tells us a couple things number one is that and that's the air

167
00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:30,320
cooled one and $1,500 for the 375 watt

168
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:36,839
water cooled one that tells us we are pretty close to the the limit of what

169
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:39,600
this chip is capable of and there there

170
00:12:36,839 --> 00:12:44,720
isn't a lot of magic sauce we did a video kind of covering this a little

171
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:47,680
while ago it was a holy Shiite episode

172
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:54,360
that we did um where we we like uh $6,000 graphics card we game on

173
00:12:51,279 --> 00:12:58,600
it the amount of R&D that goes into

174
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:59,800
building a GPU is such that you should

175
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:07,680
be very surprised if there is a specific product

176
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:09,720
created for Quadro versus GeForce yeah

177
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:15,760
it's the same product it's the same silicon and in much the same way AMD's

178
00:13:12,959 --> 00:13:20,320
Frontier Edition silicon will be the same silicon it give or take it might be

179
00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:23,839
set up and utilized or whatever in different ways and the memory paired

180
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:28,160
with it might be different units here and the logic on board might be a little

181
00:13:26,079 --> 00:13:36,639
bit different a tweak here and there but the amount of money involved in

182
00:13:30,959 --> 00:13:39,519
building a GPU is incredible so if you

183
00:13:36,639 --> 00:13:49,360
are expecting then the gaming versions of Vega to come in and crush

184
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:53,240
the GTX 10 1080 let alone the 1080 TI

185
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:55,759
you are setting yourself up for a major

186
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:59,240
disappointment and I'm sure that the AMD fans in twitch chat are freaking out

187
00:13:57,639 --> 00:14:04,240
right now I'm specifically not looking at it because I really don't care I'm

188
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:09,199
laying down some reality here and that's the way it's going to be there is some

189
00:14:06,279 --> 00:14:16,600
driver optimization to be done and AMD has been notorious for this the 5870 is

190
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:18,959
a perfect example of a product that

191
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:24,120
managed to get faster enough through driver releases that when they rebadged

192
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:28,279
it it ended up being it ended up not looking that bad when you looked at

193
00:14:25,759 --> 00:14:34,240
launch reviews of the rebadged one versus launch reviews of the original

194
00:14:30,839 --> 00:14:36,120
one but you can't expect more than it's

195
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:39,959
not going to double in speed driver optimizations will give you a little bit

196
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:44,560
but the Silicon is by and large not going to change yeah the clock speed is

197
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:50,959
by and large not going to change because it's a 300 watt part at $9.99 AMD's

198
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:54,839
closest thing to a competitor is probably going to be somewhere in the

199
00:14:52,240 --> 00:15:00,600
neighborhood of a GTX 1070 to 1080 in terms of performance

200
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:02,480
so AMD may not have abandoned the high

201
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:09,040
endend but it does look like cuz they're not even talking about like a high end

202
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:14,079
Vega architecture product right now not at all they do seem to have abandoned

203
00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:20,959
whether by choice or whether by strategy the enthusiest The Very extreme highend

204
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:24,519
I like using rise of the Tomb Raider as a standard Benchmark we use it in a lot

205
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:32,880
of different scales really well CPU and GPU and and multi GPU even and the Vega

206
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:35,199
Fe only managed to beat out the 1070 by

207
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:39,959
about a 4 to 5% lead which is at that price like really

208
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:44,639
not great so um it's not a gaming card no

209
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:49,440
it's not and we don't know anything about what pricing of Vega gaming like

210
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:53,519
what are they going to call it R9 Vega or something I don't I don't I don't remember what they're going to call it

211
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:59,519
but um a lot of times you can

212
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:03,399
get a rough idea of how it will perform in things that aren't gaming by using

213
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:10,000
games yes they're not unre they're not completely unrelated yeah but with that

214
00:16:06,319 --> 00:16:12,560
said I believe uh is it fp16 something

215
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:17,880
there's there's some more um more professional grade features that make it

216
00:16:15,519 --> 00:16:22,959
more comparable to quadros than a straight gaming card would that will

217
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:27,440
perform much better and may make Vega Frontier Edition very interesting for

218
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:34,000
workstation users because it will be similar in terms of performance to to a

219
00:16:29,199 --> 00:16:37,639
p5000 Quadro but at about half the price

220
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:39,160
of that so at the very least if you if

221
00:16:37,639 --> 00:16:43,720
you were wondering about buying like this crazy tiered AMD card for gaming

222
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:48,079
like maybe don't maybe that's what we know so far

223
00:16:45,959 --> 00:16:51,120
or at the very least like wait until the gaming version of it arrives and we can

224
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:55,720
see kind of what we're what we're dealing with here even PC purse

225
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:59,519
conclusion is like title marked conclusion do do dot for now or

226
00:16:57,519 --> 00:17:05,319
something like that so like yeah I don't think it's a huge

227
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:07,679
deal um yeah I mean unless you were

228
00:17:05,319 --> 00:17:12,679
looking into this card at as a gamer's perspective but that's not what it is no

229
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:17,919
and it's not how it's priced yeah I am shocked that they had the guts to do a

230
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:20,720
water cooled card again like that looked

231
00:17:17,919 --> 00:17:26,120
like a desperation tactic last time the fury X was a commercial failure utter

232
00:17:23,079 --> 00:17:27,559
commercial failure and could you buy I

233
00:17:26,120 --> 00:17:33,080
don't think you could buy a furyx air cooled though right no so this is a

234
00:17:29,799 --> 00:17:37,360
versioning thing they have an aired

235
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:40,440
one Fury X again yeah yeah yeah

236
00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:42,840
um yeah that's

237
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:46,720
fair yeah we've got people in the chat I'm finally I'm finally looking at the

238
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:53,320
chat I've decided to subject myself to that uh age core 123 is like AMD fans

239
00:17:51,039 --> 00:17:57,520
equal NVIDIA fans and then there's some Emoji I can't see cuz it's too small and

240
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,960
yeah the recent War has I talked about this a little bit on the last show to

241
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:04,440
the recent War has been kind of interesting cuz everything that people are fighting about are these like

242
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:10,760
outside of the tears of what they're probably shopping for products it is

243
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:12,039
funny thing so weird uh the percentage

244
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:17,159
of people that are actually interested in buying a $1,000 graphics card cuz if

245
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:24,600
AMD can get this priced right then you know it yeah it'll Stomp all over a 1060

246
00:18:20,159 --> 00:18:26,640
but if it consumes like 300 watts yeah I

247
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:31,679
don't know we'll you know what how about this why don't we cross that bridge when

248
00:18:29,159 --> 00:18:35,880
we get to it in the me that's what we know for now also our Vega Frontier

249
00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:40,240
Edition is coming so we're going to run all of our own numbers and make our own

250
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:44,120
video and you can probably save yourself the trouble of watching it by reading

251
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:49,159
shrout's review but am I allowed to say that yeah I mean who's going to who's

252
00:18:45,799 --> 00:18:52,640
going to fire me

253
00:18:49,159 --> 00:18:56,240
but lus you're fired damn

254
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:58,120
it crap I'll have to go to my other job

255
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:02,799
yeah I'll have to go work work for Floatplane club like

256
00:18:59,360 --> 00:19:04,320
he yeah yeah would you hire me yeah yes

257
00:19:02,799 --> 00:19:07,919
yeah yeah I would you'd be pretty expensive but all right I feel like that

258
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:14,120
investment would pay itself off so the original article for our next news story

259
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:18,520
is overclock 3d. net AMD announces their

260
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:22,320
new risen pro series of desktop CPUs and

261
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:25,799
I I got to confess I was a little bit

262
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:29,480
confused initially by the announcement

263
00:19:25,799 --> 00:19:31,000
of ryzen pro because I kind of went well

264
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:35,080
what makes a processor Pro other than being a

265
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:42,679
processor nothing I get nothing for processor sorry I'm replying to

266
00:19:40,679 --> 00:19:48,240
Something in the chat I hate you can you there I can I pretend that

267
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:51,960
that laugh was for my joke the best part too is you made a joke and I didn't

268
00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:56,520
laugh because I was answering a question of someone going really Luke laughing

269
00:19:54,159 --> 00:20:02,640
again everything's funny I'm just like you know what I enjoy things and I find

270
00:19:59,559 --> 00:20:04,840
things funny maybe we do WAN Show at the

271
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:09,960
end of the day on Friday so we can kind of loosen up a little bit like hang out

272
00:20:07,679 --> 00:20:13,760
for the first time this week because we almost never see each other this week

273
00:20:11,799 --> 00:20:20,360
was pretty good this week was pretty good there was a few times yeah yeah da

274
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:22,320
zore HK yeah I just enjoy laughing at

275
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:27,000
things yeah you know what laughter is the best medicine I even got un you need

276
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:32,200
chemotherapy in which case chemotherapy is probably the best medicine might go

277
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,720
do yes so laughter is the best medicine

278
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:39,600
for if you're not actually sick if you're not actually sick okay anyway so

279
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:43,840
I was sitting there going what makes something a

280
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:52,120
processor and my got him jeez and my my initial answer

281
00:20:49,039 --> 00:20:53,799
to that was the obvious one ECC support

282
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:58,760
okay yeah okay okay so you can use server memory that um has automatic

283
00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:02,480
error Corrections that are going going on the fly in case there's like you know

284
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:08,080
a solar flare that flips a bit or whatever and you your your freaking you

285
00:21:04,799 --> 00:21:10,520
know freen ass ZFS array gets corrupted

286
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:13,000
irreparably like that that's a prole feature but the funny thing about that

287
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:19,720
is that ryzen has ECC support they didn't fuse

288
00:21:17,039 --> 00:21:24,880
it off the way that Intel does on all of their consumer chips even ones that cost

289
00:21:21,919 --> 00:21:28,679
,000 which I I think is unreasonable because they're worried about um they're

290
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:35,840
worried about cannibalizing their ENT prise chips they're

291
00:21:30,159 --> 00:21:37,799
xeons um so what they do do though and

292
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:43,240
this didn't occur to me initially is they offer Windows 10 Enterprise

293
00:21:39,679 --> 00:21:46,360
security support AES 128bit memory

294
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:48,279
encryption and a longer warranty with

295
00:21:46,360 --> 00:21:55,120
that said a 36-month warranty is what they used to offer anyway but hey okay I

296
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:59,679
mean sure it's also a processor so whether it's AMD or Intel they're both

297
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:03,520
pretty good about their CPUs not just like randomly failing how many times

298
00:22:01,919 --> 00:22:11,000
have you had a processor die I had an opteron 165 die I deserved

299
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:14,880
it was it your fault I had

300
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:16,720
it how do I put this um yes I'm hold yes

301
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:21,559
no I didn't like drop it on the floor but you like overvolted the tar off of

302
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:27,720
it just can you just relax okay yeah okay so I had it chilled to minus 25°

303
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,279
okay I'm not going to finish the story

304
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:41,840
okay all right all right so so it was not really the processor so I had that

305
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:44,840
coming I'm not I'm not yeah so zero so

306
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:47,919
far do you have anymore um no I'm also

307
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:49,880
at zero so like it's probably fine the

308
00:22:47,919 --> 00:22:55,400
pro series will come okay now to be clear I have had like test bench chips

309
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:57,000
die was that the the old school Chiller

310
00:22:55,400 --> 00:23:01,279
yes oh that's pretty cool that's the chiller we haven't thrown it away I might resurrect it someday just for LS

311
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:05,039
you should do that as a video it would be a great actually it would be a great video that would be really fun get Alex

312
00:23:03,679 --> 00:23:09,080
to help you with it and like modernize it a little bit get it in a cooler box

313
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:12,440
than just Proto case to do something up for us nice I like this project that

314
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:17,200
would actually be really sick and then we could use it like on our test benches and stuff that would be really sick we'd

315
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:20,640
have to do up a new block for it because the block I used to use for it was a

316
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:25,039
dangered end TDX and that was out of pure cheapness maybe you can follow up

317
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:31,240
the like terrible heat sink guides with like a we professionally designed our

318
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,240
own heat sink Terri Chiller

319
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:38,799
guide I I would love personally I would love watching that that would be great

320
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:42,559
um so I was actually using highly not recommended so with people are asking

321
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:47,440
for the story but keep going with antifreeze um and water as coolant

322
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:51,559
because once you're going down to no no sorry that's not what you use you use a

323
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:56,400
windshield deicer so that's actually like an alcohol based coolant so I was

324
00:23:54,080 --> 00:24:00,360
using that at like sub 25

325
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:07,320
actually a little more than that on the actual cools about sub35 I was using

326
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:09,200
that in an acrylic block oh so you

327
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:12,840
leaked onto it no no I didn't I didn't no that survived no no I'm just saying

328
00:24:10,919 --> 00:24:18,000
that that block still exists we still have it but it is so full of micro

329
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:20,960
Cracks around the fittings that it is terrifying so I was using it out of

330
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:27,320
cheapness because I just assumed it would have cracked at that point whatever block I used in this

331
00:24:24,919 --> 00:24:31,880
contraption had to have like industrial glue put on it so that could put all of

332
00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:36,720
my like neoprene insulation and crap all over it and um so it was basically a

333
00:24:34,399 --> 00:24:40,440
write off and that was at a time that so A well you're supposed to use an all

334
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:44,559
metal block yeah preferably all the same metal yeah um so that the expansion and

335
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:48,679
contraction isn't of different Metals yeah um so preferably you're supposed to

336
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:52,840
do that but those back then I would have been buying like a water cool I think it

337
00:24:51,159 --> 00:24:59,640
was called the heat killer 3.0 or something like that or whatever it would have been at the time those were 150

338
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:03,600
bucks all just silver not you could get silver ones but even the copper ones

339
00:25:01,279 --> 00:25:08,399
were like they were like 80 or 90 or something stupid like that so um so I

340
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:13,159
was using like a crazy dumb thing anyway if we if we Ed the Partnerships that I

341
00:25:10,919 --> 00:25:17,440
now have with like protoc case to do like a really nice enclosure for it and

342
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:21,120
like get EK to build us something like custom or something for it oh that would

343
00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:24,600
be sick that would be a sick project and something that we could like pull out

344
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:27,640
with pride on the test bench when we want like yeah you know you know what

345
00:25:26,279 --> 00:25:30,320
cuz we have more resources now we have more writers

346
00:25:31,159 --> 00:25:39,919
us when it was just you and me we did some factory tours yes we did Omron we

347
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:41,240
did Sennheiser we did uh I feel like

348
00:25:39,919 --> 00:25:47,799
there was another one I'm Miss uh yeah we did Cherry Cherry How Could You Forget Cherry like my yeah that was

349
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:51,039
where we popped our factory tour Cherry yeah it was it was great I think I think

350
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:57,240
I missed it because Sennheiser and Cherry were on the same trip they were

351
00:25:53,799 --> 00:25:59,720
um but now going through like maybe

352
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:05,880
spending a couple days there mhm and like going through each station through

353
00:26:02,679 --> 00:26:07,600
like the design process of a water block

354
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:14,279
go through like the guy that cads out the original files you know what we we

355
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:16,399
tried to do EK oh we actually were

356
00:26:14,279 --> 00:26:21,120
thinking about doing it on the same trip as cherry and Sennheiser oh we couldn't

357
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:25,760
get it worked out because the budget required for all the travel and because

358
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:31,840
we do charge for those that is a sponsored type of project for us um they

359
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:35,480
couldn't make that work at the time but now that they're going a little bit more

360
00:26:33,159 --> 00:26:39,039
mainstream and actually that might work we'll talk a little bit more about that

361
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:42,960
when we do our ad spot for w show today that's ekk spot uh maybe we could make

362
00:26:41,159 --> 00:26:48,559
it work cuz I would love to see their would super cool their shop is sick yeah

363
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:53,320
and like if you can actually see like what goes into designing and building a

364
00:26:50,799 --> 00:26:58,320
product and EK actually manufactures everything so they're not like all water

365
00:26:56,039 --> 00:27:02,840
cooling companies that are designing somewhere and then Outsourcing to China

366
00:27:00,799 --> 00:27:07,919
um EK actually owns their own manufacturing so it would be pretty cool

367
00:27:05,159 --> 00:27:13,279
to see that that would be pretty sick um okay what else what else do we got okay

368
00:27:09,679 --> 00:27:15,320
ryzen Pro um right we were talking about

369
00:27:13,279 --> 00:27:20,480
that okay ryen Pro offers yet another advantage over Intel's I3 series

370
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:24,000
especially because those lack uh Intel V

371
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:26,320
Pro so um basically AMD is putting more

372
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:29,679
pressure on Intel and this time it's on the like professional and business

373
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:33,080
feature side which is definitely something that I can appreciate because

374
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:38,080
I mean you were talking about this the other day security and encryption is

375
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:46,080
going to become one of those things where like we might be sitting in a golden age of Hardware right now where

376
00:27:43,159 --> 00:27:50,480
manufacturers are waking up to the need for encryption on their devices Apple

377
00:27:47,799 --> 00:27:57,559
has to a great extent yeah and governments haven't outlawed it yet yeah

378
00:27:53,960 --> 00:28:01,159
so think about this like 10 years from

379
00:27:57,559 --> 00:28:03,960
now getting your hands on a ryzen pro

380
00:28:01,159 --> 00:28:07,399
might be like a thing yeah for your like encrypted computer if you want encrypted

381
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:11,120
memory yeah think about that for a minute like

382
00:28:09,519 --> 00:28:15,559
I'm not trying to go all tinfoil hat but it's no secret that governments around

383
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:19,640
the world articles in this W show that we haven't talked about yet that are

384
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:25,440
exactly in line with this yeah it's going to be uh it's going to be an

385
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:28,960
interesting time um AMD accidentally

386
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:30,840
reveals ryen 3 details w a is this like

387
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:33,840
a quote unquote accidentally or is this legitimately accidentally I can never

388
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:38,000
tell with those guys to be honest with you sometimes I suspect that it's quote

389
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:42,200
unquote accidentally other times I believe them that it's not accident I

390
00:28:39,679 --> 00:28:47,159
don't know um anyway originally posted by Ryan Smith over at unon Tech well gee

391
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:52,799
if you were paying close attention to this morning's announcement of AMD's new ryzen Pro skes then you likely noticed

392
00:28:50,279 --> 00:28:55,360
something interesting the non-x pro chips all have the same performance

393
00:28:54,159 --> 00:28:59,519
specifications as their standard consumer counterparts specifically both

394
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:03,320
of the non X pro SKS with existing ryzen 5 and 7 counterparts have the same core

395
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:06,480
counts clock speeds and ttps as for the final two ryzen Pro 3 SKS well they

396
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:12,200
inadvertently showed their hand when it comes to the forthcoming ryzen

397
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:15,480
3 okay so I mean we are making some

398
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:17,279
assumptions here but it looks like uh

399
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:24,360
they've inadvertently revealed the ryzen 3 1300 and 1200 specs so the ryzen 3

400
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:28,799
looks like it'll be a quad core CPU without smt so that's four threads

401
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:33,960
rather than eight which in my opinion is what entrylevel

402
00:29:31,559 --> 00:29:38,840
chips should have been at this point for a few years now uh that's give me one

403
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:42,360
quick second sorry you're good everything's fine don't worry about it

404
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:48,399
everything's okay is everything okay yeah it is does everything seem okay to you guys

405
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:55,960
tell you what why don't we talk about ryzen 3 later why don't I just do the

406
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:58,640
sponsor spots so uh boom fresh books uh

407
00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:02,880
oh right I have I have notes I always go off script and I always get in trouble

408
00:30:00,039 --> 00:30:08,919
so freshbooks is the super simpl to use invoicing tool that actually does a lot

can see this oh I wasn't going to acknowledge it

426

430
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:46,840
that uh that might be a lonus tech tips logo

431
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:50,840
there yeah that's all we'll say that's all we'll say about it so that'll be

432
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:55,200
there um we're probably hopefully going to have okay I'm kind of Tiff my hand a

433
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:59,840
little bit here but LTX is going to be freaking sick um we're going to have 15K

434
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:05,440
gaming there the cas TOS k i I don't know uh

435
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:09,639
it's on Floatplane right now yeah it's ch FL right now yeah it's it's not on

436
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:13,320
channel super on YouTube but we did like a a case toss to so show what it might

437
00:32:11,679 --> 00:32:17,919
be like while you're at LTX there actually tons of fun yep um there's

438
00:32:15,559 --> 00:32:20,919
going to be other examples of Booth there's going to be other types of

439
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:24,360
booths like guess how many CPUs are in a jar kind of like the old Jelly Bean

440
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:28,480
thing rocket league in real life uh video editing tips from Taran we're

441
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:33,760
literally going to take his Workstation and like transplant it over there and

442
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:37,159
just let him keep working yep and he'll be like talking to people about what

443
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:41,039
he's doing so it's July 29th from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and you can get your

444
00:32:38,679 --> 00:32:44,200
ticket through the Forum or at the link in the video description which I'm going

445
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:49,840
to go ahead and drop in the twitch chat right now Twitch Plays Pokemon was like

446
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:53,519
are we just skipping 8K yes

447
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:57,200
yes uh okay other sponsor EK water

448
00:32:53,519 --> 00:33:01,240
blocks heck yeah so this my friends is

449
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:04,559
ek's foray into the mainstream but

450
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:07,559
unlike their previous Predator lineup

451
00:33:04,559 --> 00:33:09,200
of thank you trying to make water

452
00:33:07,559 --> 00:33:17,159
cooling more mainstream like trying to be more like an AIO but better like

453
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:19,840
expandable this one is much much less

454
00:33:17,159 --> 00:33:24,159
expensive so what they've done and this sounds crazy on first glance but we

455
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:27,799
actually have a review which by the way we completed it's not uploaded yet but

456
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:33,639
we completed we evaluated this thing before we did any sponsor spots for it

457
00:33:29,919 --> 00:33:36,240
we have a review coming um and it's

458
00:33:33,639 --> 00:33:41,440
pretty positive uh this thing is really good by making all the blocks out of

459
00:33:38,919 --> 00:33:46,080
aluminum instead of copper they have lowered the cost they have lowered the

460
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:53,559
Machining time which inherently lowers the cost they have retained the

461
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:56,519
expandability and they have retained

462
00:33:53,559 --> 00:34:02,360
most of the performance of a full Copper Custom Loop the drawback is that you

463
00:33:59,039 --> 00:34:04,080
can't mix ek's a series products with

464
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:08,839
their normal products because there would be a risk of galvanic corrosion I

465
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:15,320
don't know why Siri started taking off there but the point is the a120 the a240

466
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:20,440
and the a240g especially personally I don't

467
00:34:18,399 --> 00:34:26,240
think this is in my uh I don't think this is in my sponsor notes but

468
00:34:23,119 --> 00:34:28,399
especially the a240 and the a240g look

469
00:34:26,240 --> 00:34:32,359
like a fantastic value for custom liquid cooling is it

470
00:34:30,879 --> 00:34:39,200
the G does that mean it includes like graphics card it does it includes a 1060

471
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:42,560
to Titan XP Founders Edition compatible

472
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:45,079
block cool so looks pretty darn good and

473
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:49,639
unlike other aios it includes actual fittings it includes tubing that you can

474
00:34:47,359 --> 00:34:56,119
change up for something else it includes vardar fans oh so very good fans and it

475
00:34:53,200 --> 00:35:01,720
includes um a like like a custom grade pump and then

476
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:07,640
tube Reservoir combo nice yeah that's cool so looking looking pretty good so

477
00:35:03,720 --> 00:35:10,119
you can check that out over at Genie g.

478
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:15,440
usek fluid gaming I'll drop that in the twitch chat as

479
00:35:12,359 --> 00:35:18,200
well okay all right yeah I know I I I

480
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:23,520
got the notification from Tyler that he was clearing the fridge out in 15

481
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:25,280
minutes and I got it 21 minutes ago oh

482
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:28,920
and he was going to throw away your food which I like don't even normally store

483
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:32,640
food here cuz I just have like soil in which you don't throw out which I have

484
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:36,920
for like breakfast and stuff but there's I had a bunch of food here that my

485
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:40,480
girlfriend cooked and she's the least domestic person ever and doesn't cook

486
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:45,359
but she's very excited about this stuff right now so if it all got thrown out

487
00:35:42,359 --> 00:35:46,880
that would have been a very bad um right

488
00:35:45,359 --> 00:35:51,480
yeah that would have been bad bad scene so I solved that good everything's fine

489
00:35:49,720 --> 00:35:54,960
so you solved that by fishing it out of the garbage can putting it back in the

490
00:35:52,880 --> 00:36:00,680
container and not telling her I think I I think in in Tyler's

491
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:04,720
regular style he said 15 minutes and it's probably like half an hour okay so

492
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:07,880
it just wasn't done yet okay uh we've got people asking why I'm using an

493
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:11,640
iPhone to be clear what I mean by that is he gave people a grace period not

494
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:18,839
that he's delayed uh I'm using an iPhone because I actually don't really care

495
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:22,280
right now um between Android and iOS and

496
00:36:18,839 --> 00:36:25,280
I had to give the shooters my S8 which I

497
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:28,359
was using as my daily driver um to do

498
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:29,720
comparative b-roll against the OnePlus 5

499
00:36:28,359 --> 00:36:35,160
and then I I just haven't gotten around to putting my sim back in the S8 I do intend to go back to the S8 how do you

500
00:36:33,119 --> 00:36:39,119
feel about the notifications they're both awful in different ways okay cuz

501
00:36:37,599 --> 00:36:42,160
that was like one thing that I hated about iOS when I used it for a fairly

502
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:49,880
short period of time was the notifications yeah um the problem is that Samsung in the I think it was the

503
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:52,280
marshmallow update nou nou update so

504
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:55,560
Samsung um even when you set your privacy settings people in the

505
00:36:55,760 --> 00:37:04,000
chat uh even when you set your privacy settings to show your notifications on

506
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:09,880
your lock screen before you log in they changed it so that Gmail

507
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:12,800
notifications don't show

508
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:16,040
anymore so I actually have to unlock the phone like I can see I have Gmail

509
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:19,560
notifications but I can't see what they are okay yeah well you should have your

510
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:23,400
phone encrypted so it doesn't show what they are

511
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:27,119
anyways no I think yeah no it's encrypted but you should you should make

512
00:37:25,599 --> 00:37:31,319
it so that it doesn't show anyway yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah that was like in the security should should

513
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:35,720
should should should should but the point is I get too many notifications

514
00:37:33,079 --> 00:37:38,359
for that to be perfectly Frank with you if certain emails come through you can

515
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:43,160
get super screwed yeah I guess that's possible

516
00:37:41,119 --> 00:37:46,480
just show the subject subject line and like maybe the first few words but

517
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:51,200
there's not much there's some emails that can you can get screwed for I don't

518
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:54,040
get any like two Factor emails though like

519
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:58,680
that cuz I think that's the kind you're thinking of mostly yeah no yeah Okay no

520
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:03,640
Okay um so so yeah it it's really frustrating and uh yeah so anyway I just

521
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:08,520
haven't put my sim back in the S8 yet and I actually own two SmartWatches they

522
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:12,839
both sit on my bedside table on their Chargers and whichever phone I happen to

523
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:18,839
be using I just grab either an Android Wear or an Apple Watch wow

524
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:25,280
yep cuz I just don't care anymore at

525
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:29,319
this point I I am actually pretty psyched for the you know what here let's

526
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:32,760
blow through ryzen 3 oh that's the opposite of first world problems that's

527
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:37,880
just like first world excess sorry I have a matching phone for

528
00:38:35,720 --> 00:38:41,119
I have a matching watch for my phone it's perfect all the time you know what

529
00:38:39,599 --> 00:38:45,079
it's not that different from people who have watches for their outfits in fact

530
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:50,280
it's very different I only need two watches more practical that is not more

531
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:52,880
practical no your way oh oh I see I was

532
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:58,440
I was admitting a minor amount of defeat yeah um so anyway AMD accidentally

533
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:01,680
reveals Ryon 3 details it's quad core without smt it'll use the same dies

534
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:06,400
ryzen 5 and Ry 7 oh that's surprising actually luk don't get paid enough even

535
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:08,920
if I did I wouldn't do that four cores

536
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:12,839
distributed over two CCX but we saw that that wasn't a huge deal with the lower

537
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:18,000
end ryzen 5S same cash structure as ryzen 5400 blah blah blah blah blah blah

538
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:25,079
TDP will still this be the same 65 watt but as we know the TDP ratings for CPUs

539
00:39:20,119 --> 00:39:28,800
like Intel rates all of their HDT chips

540
00:39:25,079 --> 00:39:31,480
like 130 Watts y clearly the ones with

541
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:36,760
twice as many cores clearly consume more power yeah clearly so there's that just

542
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:40,960
like blanket statement whole areas um yeah I had wanted to chat about oh yeah

543
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:44,359
you know what well do you want to do this first or that why don't we do that

544
00:39:42,359 --> 00:39:49,319
let's do that okay okay I realized what we're saying right now is very cryptic

545
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:50,839
but this is important if you are not

546
00:39:49,319 --> 00:39:56,119
already on Floatplane this is the week well other than

547
00:39:53,960 --> 00:40:02,079
like a scrap scrapyard Wars because unlike scrapyard Wars where we have one

548
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:06,480
piece of content that like half of our

549
00:40:02,079 --> 00:40:09,119
community cannot wait to watch we have

550
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:15,160
four pieces of content right now that are behind the Early Access wall on

551
00:40:11,599 --> 00:40:16,839
Floatplane that are freaking unreal but

552
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:20,760
they'll all be coming uh sometime in the next week so if you watched all of them

553
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:24,319
and I don't normally watch our videos even that

554
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:28,640
often well okay cuz I hear about everything that's going on and I'll like

555
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:35,640
talk to the writer that's working on it and know their conclusions and stuff wow

556
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:38,599
dick I'm just saying okay so LT video

557
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:43,079
exposing dead Mouse's Studio spoiler he's a huge geek this isn't even an LTT

558
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:47,079
video but do cell phones actually cause cancer it was an entertaining Tech to

559
00:40:45,079 --> 00:40:50,880
make you probably know the answer I kind of hope but like it's it's a good thing

560
00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:57,400
to send to people not everybody does or we wouldn't have made the video Fair um

561
00:40:53,160 --> 00:41:01,000
LTT unboxing a quantum computer that was

562
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:02,160
very cool um that was awesome so was the

563
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:06,680
deadmouse one those were both really awesome LT the most important iPad video

564
00:41:05,359 --> 00:41:12,160
in years which actually got Lost in Translation it's supposed to be the most important iPad in years but that's okay

565
00:41:10,839 --> 00:41:16,160
we'll figure that out also there's a giraffe in the video which is why it

566
00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:23,520
says gone wild see we're all about clickbait that's true yeah uh LT the

567
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:26,240
ultimate RGB build guide yes build

568
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:29,240
guides are back in a real way just to okay okay this one I'll

569
00:41:29,839 --> 00:41:35,760
uh class distinction didn't know you could do that I'm sorry I didn't even

570
00:41:33,079 --> 00:41:40,960
know you could do itst preview check out this intro this is very cool

571
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:44,200
yeah the best part is can you identify all the people I can tell who some of

572
00:41:42,599 --> 00:41:48,520
them are except for when they're running by like I know yeah that was very

573
00:41:46,240 --> 00:41:52,839
obvious yeah I can identify everyone except for

574
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:58,880
when they're all running by all at once anyway then it gets messy that's a great

575
00:41:54,599 --> 00:42:02,480
video LTT can you plastic dip a whole PC

576
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:03,880
inside and out LTT unboxing Canada's

577
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:09,880
biggest supercomputer um yeah LTT can you plasty

578
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:15,119
dip a whole PC is actually really funny yeah so next week is going to be

579
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:19,960
ridiculous because many of these projects were things that we've been

580
00:42:16,359 --> 00:42:22,839
working on for weeks and or months and

581
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:27,440
they just all kind of came together at the same time in fact if I was like in

582
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:31,200
charge of programming here I might not necessarily like I might have tried to

583
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:37,400
find other sort of I don't want to say crappier stuff

584
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:40,559
but yeah less expensive content to

585
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:43,280
produce to to like space things out a

586
00:42:40,559 --> 00:42:48,359
little bit um but if you guys want to join the Floatplane Club um basically

587
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:53,119
the way to do it you got the link you post it in the chat do you yeah okay

588
00:42:50,359 --> 00:42:58,040
good LTT Bots got that now's kind of the time to do it and uh yeah it's going to

589
00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:02,000
be it's going to be a good time it's going to be a good time over on Floatplane right now if you want to binge

590
00:43:00,599 --> 00:43:11,040
watch all that stuff you're going to be you're going to like it um okay so Apple moving on to news

591
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:17,079
this was posted by WM gr on the Forum and the original article is from n

592
00:43:13,240 --> 00:43:17,079
Gadget it looks like

593
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:25,559
Vivo Vivo oh that's what happened there what

594
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:27,880
beats Apple to an underd display

595
00:43:25,559 --> 00:43:32,640
fingerprint scanner but they say that uh the technology

596
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:37,880
still has a way to go I mean that's how it sometimes is where people are like

597
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:41,000
yeah apple never invented anything whereas a lot of the time Apple doesn't

598
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:46,119
invent it they just kind of come along and use it when when it's actually

599
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:52,160
mature enough yeah to be clear it's a it's a uh Qualcomm technology yeah um so

600
00:43:50,119 --> 00:43:58,079
this is an ultra Sonic fingerprint solution offering integration beneath

601
00:43:55,319 --> 00:44:04,599
OLED displays up to 1 2 mm thick like that's pretty thick a fair amount for an

602
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:06,280
OLED um as well as aluminum even that's

603
00:44:04,599 --> 00:44:11,520
freaking cool that's pretty like if the whole phone imagine this if you could

604
00:44:08,559 --> 00:44:16,359
have like if you could have like uh just to unlock your phone is like easy like

605
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:20,160
it's just one and then to access your encrypted folder you have to put like

606
00:44:18,319 --> 00:44:23,240
all five fingers on it or you have to like can you imagine that would be

607
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:27,359
pretty cool so if you had like you could have like the the fingerprint down here

608
00:44:25,559 --> 00:44:31,280
and then like all four fingers on the back have to engage yes that' be pretty

609
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:34,680
neat I would love that it have to be really accurate for that first gen

610
00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:38,800
stuff's not going to have that but that's the kind of stuff I'd love to see

611
00:44:36,079 --> 00:44:43,079
in the future um apparently it works even when the device is immersed in

612
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:46,880
water which is a huge problem with existing fingerprint sensors and it

613
00:44:45,359 --> 00:44:51,160
tolerates to be fair not not because you're like swimming with your phone all the time but like if it's raining or

614
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:58,359
something like that if it's a little bit wet it can be really annoying or like if you sweat as much as I do I mean like

615
00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:02,119
sports not not just in like I'm not I'm not sweaty right now I mean I touched

616
00:45:00,240 --> 00:45:06,280
your shirt so I could be as sweaty as you

617
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:13,119
know yeah he's good he's scientific tests very scientific

618
00:45:09,559 --> 00:45:14,640
test oh that that was really awkward I

619
00:45:13,119 --> 00:45:19,440
have problems with fingerprint scanners though um because I have as you know

620
00:45:17,119 --> 00:45:23,000
annoyingly sweaty hands you're not nearly as bad as when I met you yeah

621
00:45:21,119 --> 00:45:25,680
when I met you it was like fullon hyperhydrosis

622
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:34,000
like it has gotten a little bit better um I would go out of my way to like not

623
00:45:32,119 --> 00:45:38,440
touch him like when I shook hands at his interview I was just like can I hire

624
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:41,599
this guy I also used to like like if I went on a let's get personal here for a

625
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:46,559
second if I went on a date with someone I would like avoid that you would avoid

626
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:52,480
hand holding so you would just straight grab her by the I'd do like ARM over

627
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:57,040
or I don't go no I don't go Trump Style with that but I'd try to go like ARM

628
00:45:54,119 --> 00:46:01,640
over shoulders or like like something I would even do the like joking ARM in ARM

629
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:05,920
we're being funny old school thing wow that's cringe dude well I would do it as

630
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:10,160
a joke to be clear but I would do that for like a couple seconds to try to show

631
00:46:07,839 --> 00:46:13,680
like I'm not being standoffish but also I'm going to do this as a joke and then

632
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:19,319
stop because I don't want to hold your hand wow because I was like yeah it's

633
00:46:16,359 --> 00:46:26,440
pretty gnarly it's it's it's mostly fine now okay um yeah how's it going so

634
00:46:23,720 --> 00:46:30,280
anyway vivo's xplay 6 demonstrated the technology the demo started off with a

635
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:34,240
fingerprint registration process that requested blah blah blah etc etc then

636
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:42,960
the user would be able to unlock the phone by touching the spot where they did the setup process or somewhere else

637
00:46:40,599 --> 00:46:47,079
um so fingerprint recognition speed in this implementation is slower than the

638
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:50,359
near instantaneous unlock we expect from normal fingerprint scanners about a

639
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:54,160
second between the first touch and entering the home screen but they said

640
00:46:52,720 --> 00:46:58,400
the same Tech could be applied across the entire screen oh wait no hold on F

641
00:46:56,440 --> 00:47:02,319
oh yeah so they touched a different area just above the old fingerprint button um

642
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:06,400
so instead they might eventually cover just the bottom half of the screen

643
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:10,720
rather than the whole screen um to save cost and yeah same Tex shown on the back

644
00:47:09,319 --> 00:47:16,440
of the phone's body allowing it to be unlocked even when placed in water

645
00:47:12,319 --> 00:47:18,200
pretty cool yeah I really like like I

646
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:25,280
very much like the fingerprint unlock on the back of the pixel I'm a huge fan of

647
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:27,119
that um are we going into this yeah I

648
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:32,440
don't know should we or is it just boring I want to talk about ethereum

649
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:38,000
mining this is a really quick one but this was uh posted on futurism and the

650
00:47:34,359 --> 00:47:38,000
original post on the Forum was Ginger

651
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:45,559
137 and the headline kind of says it all there's not not a whole lot more to say

652
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:49,400
at this point ethereum could be using more than an entire country's worth of

653
00:47:47,839 --> 00:47:54,319
electricity now of course we don't mean like China or the us or whatever um oh

654
00:47:53,240 --> 00:48:00,880
hi guys but um I think the the country that

655
00:47:58,079 --> 00:48:06,440
we were talking about was oh a small country Cyprus um so a

656
00:48:04,599 --> 00:48:15,839
bit more than what consumed by the island of Cypress so 4.2 terawatt

657
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:15,839
hours wow that's pretty

658
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:22,240
insane so one major reason for this is the power hungry graphics cards that are

659
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:28,200
involved but this might not be the case for long ethereum has plans to move away

660
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:30,640
from its existing energy intensive

661
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:34,440
algorithms so there you go I wonder what that means for people's Hardware if it's

662
00:48:32,720 --> 00:48:41,240
just an algorithm thing like will that rebalance what is better at it it means

663
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:43,839
a lot of cheap 580s on the uh on

664
00:48:41,240 --> 00:48:48,319
eBay hopefully because honestly I was talking to someone the other day buying

665
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:53,960
a computer right now kind of sucks holy crap it's a great time to buy a CPU yeah

666
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:57,319
but okay but on the counterargument and people are going to hate me for this but

667
00:48:56,160 --> 00:49:01,680
it's kind of rough to get into PC gaming

668
00:48:59,720 --> 00:49:05,920
right now and I actually see a lot of people going like okay well the graphics

669
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:12,280
card that I want is going to cost more than the freaking console yep and like

670
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:13,640
it's hard to justify yep it's genuinely

671
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:18,240
a little bit hard to justify it's cuz the graphics cards are so expensive and

672
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:22,480
if I'm AMD I certainly want to sell graphics cards for as much as I can of

673
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:25,760
course why not or NVIDIA for that matter although NVIDIA has been a little less

674
00:49:24,240 --> 00:49:29,760
popular on the whole ethereum mining side of things and like seen some stuff

675
00:49:27,720 --> 00:49:32,839
where people are trying to snipe out stores because certain stores aren't

676
00:49:31,359 --> 00:49:36,799
increasing their prices because they're just trying to go for MSRP and RAM too

677
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:40,599
there's a worldwide Dam shortage that's expected to last well into next year

678
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:46,119
it's great for companies like Corsair cuz it's hilarious like RAM makers like

679
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:51,839
Corsair and Kingston where they they buy modules and then sell them uh it's great

680
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:55,359
for them because as much as it's frustrating for them to not be able to

681
00:49:53,440 --> 00:50:00,920
get as much allocation as they'd like to sell they're margin on a product like

682
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:05,160
that is kind of set cuz there's a lot of competitors out there and everybody's

683
00:50:02,319 --> 00:50:11,240
kind of in that 7 to 12% range pretty much give or take but even though

684
00:50:07,799 --> 00:50:14,160
they're selling less what they do sell

685
00:50:11,240 --> 00:50:21,280
hits their um hits their revenue numbers a lot harder so they're doing more

686
00:50:16,119 --> 00:50:24,440
revenue and making 10% let's say on a $

687
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:27,240
transaction versus making 10% on a $100

688
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:34,599
transaction having to do all the same fixed cost things so thep the processing

689
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:39,559
fee Transportation marketing uh

690
00:50:34,599 --> 00:50:43,559
packaging yeah hey that's great for them

691
00:50:39,559 --> 00:50:45,960
um speaking of the memory business rip

692
00:50:43,559 --> 00:50:50,480
Lexar memory cards this was posted by shutter Boy on The Forum the original

693
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:56,240
article here is from petapixel but crucial I don't know if

694
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:59,000
you guys know this but uh Micron parent

695
00:50:56,240 --> 00:51:06,280
company of crucial and Lexar um Micron just kind of went yeah

696
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:08,640
you know what um compared to the

697
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:16,079
lucrative business of selling flash to companies like Amazon and

698
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:18,559
Google um selling like SD cards is a

699
00:51:16,079 --> 00:51:23,799
Fool's errand due to those low margins and low volumes all that packaging and

700
00:51:20,839 --> 00:51:27,920
all that marketing involved in what this tiny transaction this is stupid so

701
00:51:25,799 --> 00:51:32,520
they're just like forget it and they are shutting down their removable storage

702
00:51:30,559 --> 00:51:37,079
retail business I hope they don't shut down crucial because their Facebook page

703
00:51:35,119 --> 00:51:40,880
is hilarious other products that are being killed off include USB flash

704
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:46,720
drives memory card readers and storage drives which honestly I'm kind of not

705
00:51:43,720 --> 00:51:49,400
stoked on because the only prograde card

706
00:51:46,720 --> 00:51:53,920
readers that we could find are those Lexar ones that we're using our sco up a

707
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:57,799
few I'm not even kidding we we might even do that although I did run into

708
00:51:55,880 --> 00:52:02,240
someone at PEX that's making something that looks really Pro and that has SSD

709
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:06,680
and red Meg versions as well they're like rack mount and you can and their

710
00:52:04,319 --> 00:52:10,400
modular so I'll look into those they run off Thunderbolt too and our ingest

711
00:52:08,079 --> 00:52:13,960
stations are Thunderbolt so we'll see yeah but if that doesn't pan out or if

712
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:18,880
that product sucks Lexar is all I kind of got um but

713
00:52:17,559 --> 00:52:22,520
the decision was made as part of the company's ongoing efforts to focus on

714
00:52:20,839 --> 00:52:27,200
its increasing opportunities in higher value markets and

715
00:52:24,119 --> 00:52:29,160
channels so basically like Lexar

716
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:34,559
products suck it uh they are exploring opportunities

717
00:52:32,720 --> 00:52:39,240
to sell all or part of the Lexar business but what that means is

718
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:43,400
basically that Lexar won't be Lexar yeah in much the same way that the sharp is

719
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:47,680
trying to get their brand back in North America because they're actually suing

720
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:55,040
over high sense I believe it's high sense I'm going to double check before I

721
00:52:49,720 --> 00:52:58,040
like disar a brand um sharp high sense

722
00:52:55,040 --> 00:53:01,119
lawsuit I think yeah yeah sharp saying

723
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:04,000
that high sense's shoddily manufactured

724
00:53:01,119 --> 00:53:07,440
TVs are hurting their brand image what even though they were the ones who sold

725
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:11,359
the business unit to high sense they sold it can they do anything about that

726
00:53:09,359 --> 00:53:16,359
I don't know but it explains you know how we go to CES and we're like what the

727
00:53:14,119 --> 00:53:22,839
heck is high sense yeah why are they even here yeah now I finally get it

728
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:28,520
yes um what else what else we got for this week there's not a ton there 's

729
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:31,280
that weird Canada thing which might affect other people so I don't know we

730
00:53:30,079 --> 00:53:35,640
might want to talk about that there's the tech PowerUp thing I'm wondering on

731
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:39,799
your opinion on that actually okay I'm sorry I really haven't looked into this

732
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:44,799
oh and there's um it's there's not a ton to look into it you can look into it

733
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:46,640
really quick so um should I start on it

734
00:53:44,799 --> 00:53:50,799
sure having not read it uh was posted on the Forum by eyes can't see over 24 FPS

735
00:53:49,119 --> 00:53:55,680
and that was the only way we were going to get me to say those words Al together

736
00:53:53,640 --> 00:54:00,799
in that order very very funny you know that's going to get you gigantic troll

737
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:04,640
like really tightly clipped I know um and the original article here is from

738
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:11,599
delited tech.com which I've actually never heard of what's delited tech.com I

739
00:54:08,079 --> 00:54:15,319
don't know wow this looks like a very

740
00:54:11,599 --> 00:54:19,280
small site and I'm I'm not hating or

741
00:54:15,319 --> 00:54:22,599
anything um but basically the

742
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:25,559
controversy is over a tech

743
00:54:22,599 --> 00:54:30,599
PowerUp article that appeared to be an article anyway that was a comparison

744
00:54:27,720 --> 00:54:36,960
between AMD's radon rx560 and NVIDIA's GTX 1050 but that was actually an AMD ad

745
00:54:34,799 --> 00:54:40,280
the article reads like a review with no disclaimers within the article itself

746
00:54:38,559 --> 00:54:46,200
that it comes from AMD or is sponsored by AMD the only ad markers on the page

747
00:54:43,319 --> 00:54:49,760
were advertorial by AMD off to the side on the top right and the author being

748
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:55,400
named advertorial the article was posted

749
00:54:52,799 --> 00:55:02,559
directly in the review section of the site our Forum members apparently

750
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:04,119
disagree as to whether or not AMD

751
00:55:02,559 --> 00:55:08,880
crossed the line I don't know why it wasn't linked but here's the actual

752
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:15,160
thing if you want go okay so let's pull let's pull up the article here this does

753
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:20,760
look like an article so they're sponsored right there yeah advertorial

754
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:24,400
by AMD okay this might be uh looks like it's been updated a little bit this

755
00:55:22,079 --> 00:55:24,400
might be

756
00:55:25,119 --> 00:55:30,720
updated huh when I first saw this I I didn't check

757
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:35,720
for each individual location but when I first saw this I was not oh it says

758
00:55:33,359 --> 00:55:39,880
sponsored right there content by MD okay okay it looks like a few things have

759
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:43,200
been added

760
00:55:44,559 --> 00:55:50,720
huh interesting so did they run their own

761
00:55:48,839 --> 00:55:54,520
marks current in its current state what do you what do you think about the

762
00:55:52,039 --> 00:55:58,240
transparency okay so and it's current

763
00:55:59,119 --> 00:56:05,359
State the deled tech site doesn't seem to have

764
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:07,559
huh oh I think there's a picture on there

765
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:14,640
actually so yeah advertorial by AMD

766
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:16,280
above the here let's go uh let's go over

767
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:21,160
to deleted tech for a second here and show what it used to look like you just move to my oh no mine's screwed up yeah

768
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:27,760
yours is screwed up right now sorry so you're going to want to this one yeah

769
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:31,760
yeah okay so here's what it used to look

770
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:33,720
like the uh the writer was advertorial

771
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:38,520
it didn't say sponsored under the 560 logo say sponsored under the logo here

772
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:43,319
and it said introduction as though it was an introduction to something yeah

773
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:47,799
but it did say avoral by MD over on the right so it wasn't like impossible to

774
00:56:45,720 --> 00:56:53,240
figure out what it was but I think the word

775
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:56,240
advertorial is um a little misleading

776
00:56:53,240 --> 00:56:57,280
because in my mind an advertorial okay

777
00:56:56,240 --> 00:57:02,480
so it's like edutainment right yeah it's inherently

778
00:57:00,119 --> 00:57:06,760
educational entertaining SS advert and tutorial and it's not a tutorial this

779
00:57:05,039 --> 00:57:11,119
isn't a tutorial at all here let's read it we'll read it together it's not like

780
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:14,559
how to use AMD graphics cards advertorial by AMD last year AMD

781
00:57:13,079 --> 00:57:18,079
introduced the first Polaris generation of gpus with it AMD delivered many new

782
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:23,319
features along with great performance in the latest games and greatly improved

783
00:57:19,839 --> 00:57:26,880
efficiency like that is not a

784
00:57:23,319 --> 00:57:28,760
tutorial um be it orts or AA titles best

785
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:33,000
value for the money at around €100 consistently smooth animation in popular

786
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:35,920
games at 1080 avoids performance pit Falls caused by running out of video

787
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:41,599
memory due to 4 gig models being available okay none of that's a tutorial

788
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:44,079
for only around €100 the radon rx560 outperforms the competition at this

789
00:57:43,079 --> 00:57:50,039
price point while showing the significant difference of upgrading from a previous generation is this their own

790
00:57:47,039 --> 00:57:52,160
benchmarks so that's honestly where

791
00:57:50,039 --> 00:57:55,960
that's that's the one that I don't like um radon chill hold on hold on radon

792
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:59,960
chill saves power during games it does this in these kinds of titles there is

793
00:57:58,599 --> 00:58:05,520
no tutorial oh editorial not tutorial

794
00:58:05,839 --> 00:58:11,160
editorial is it

795
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:15,920
interesting good call twitch chat okay I

796
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:22,640
did not know that I always thought that an advertorial was an ad that was like

797
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:25,760
how to use it I thought it was is what I

798
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:28,520
think an advertorial should be by the

799
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:34,240
way because I have no problem with that in fact that's something that I've been

800
00:58:30,359 --> 00:58:36,799
doing for years is like here's how to

801
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:40,599
water cool your computer brought to you by some parts that you can use to do

802
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:46,799
that but but all of these things I'm saying still apply to other stuff an

803
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:50,559
advertorial the like proper definition is a newspaper or Magazine advertisement

804
00:58:48,839 --> 00:58:54,599
don't worry too much about that giving information about a product in the style

805
00:58:52,559 --> 00:58:58,200
of an editorial or objective journalistic article

806
00:58:56,559 --> 00:59:04,000
okay so that's actually fairly transparent okay all right fine I don't

807
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:08,240
like yeah so there's a couple things here

808
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:13,000
number one is I think they're going to need to change says testing done by AMD

809
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:17,559
in the last paragraph yeah I think it should say that on the chart I think the

810
00:59:15,039 --> 00:59:24,200
testing shouldn't be done by AMD for one thing um so even when we do so we've

811
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:28,160
actually done a um here the closest

812
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:30,079
thing that we've done was uh the te okay

813
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:36,359
guys the testing done by AMD should be on the chart here this is the closest

814
00:59:33,559 --> 00:59:41,359
thing we've done actually with AMD oh unskippable ads we have unskippable ads

815
00:59:39,039 --> 00:59:47,640
they enable after a while so they're on our um our back catalog oh do we even do

816
00:59:45,079 --> 00:59:54,400
that no it's something that our MCN does automatically oh yeah okay can you build

817
00:59:51,559 --> 00:59:59,280
a 4K gaming PC for under $1,000 oh for some reason we're not

818
00:59:56,640 --> 01:00:03,559
looking at the beginning of it so we say something something something something

819
01:00:00,559 --> 01:00:06,280
something AMD challenged us to do this

820
01:00:03,559 --> 01:00:12,839
blah blah blah hold on here we go is this the sponsored by AMD call out no I

821
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:14,319
don't think so um but this was uh this

822
01:00:12,839 --> 01:00:21,079
was actually before some of those guidelines came into place and we uh let

823
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:26,359
me see where else anyway I say it either two or three times in the video

824
01:00:23,799 --> 01:00:33,160
verbally um when we get to the benchmarks because AMD's argument to us

825
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:37,359
to for doing this piece was that you can

826
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:40,440
play popular Esports titles at 60 FPS on

827
01:00:37,359 --> 01:00:43,799
their affordable for at 4k on their

828
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:45,440
affordable all AMD machine we ran these

829
01:00:43,799 --> 01:00:50,799
benchmarks ourselves and we told them we're not

830
01:00:48,119 --> 01:00:55,520
doing this video unless we can validate this ourselves yeah and that would have

831
01:00:52,960 --> 01:01:01,520
meant not taking the budget that happened

832
01:00:57,839 --> 01:01:04,520
letting AMD run their own

833
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:07,599
benchmarks yes I think strictly speaking

834
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:11,520
that does make it exactly as much of an

835
01:01:07,599 --> 01:01:14,319
advertorial then as just an opinion but

836
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:20,160
an editorial again and maybe you can hear want to be my definition man for a

837
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:24,799
second here editorial my understanding

838
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:28,319
means opinion and facts graphs and

839
01:01:24,799 --> 01:01:30,720
charts are not not opinions a newspaper

840
01:01:28,319 --> 01:01:34,720
article written by or on behalf of an editor that gives an opinion on a

841
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:39,640
topical issue so really that's where the line

842
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:45,000
gets crossed for me because the disclosure is not quite good enough uh

843
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:49,680
it should be in the title uh sponsored should be in the actual title

844
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:53,160
of the article uh according to like FTC guidelines like that actually needs to

845
01:01:51,119 --> 01:02:00,160
get done um all of this stuff is quite a bit

846
01:01:55,599 --> 01:02:03,200
better Now adoral by AMD but in my

847
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:05,480
opinion these graphs should have either

848
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:09,520
been run by tech power up or they shouldn't be here and it should just be

849
01:02:07,799 --> 01:02:13,079
an opinion at the very least in my opinion it needs to be very clear on the

850
01:02:11,119 --> 01:02:17,480
graphs that these are graphs from the company and then personally that would

851
01:02:15,559 --> 01:02:20,200
just make me not care and I'd move on people are saying the graphs serve as

852
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:25,240
evidence for the opinion of the author but that's exactly it then it isn't an

853
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:30,559
editorial then it's not an opinion you can't say in my opinion this graphics

854
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:35,400
card runs faster when you actually have fact I mean it's the whole blurry line

855
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:37,839
between facts and opinion these days but

856
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:45,119
once it's been quantitatively measured in a way that is reproducible

857
01:02:40,799 --> 01:02:48,400
and defensible and adheres to the

858
01:02:45,119 --> 01:02:52,839
scientific method once it's Quantified

859
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:57,839
it isn't an opinion anymore and a graph

860
01:02:52,839 --> 01:02:57,839
inherently suggests that it has been

861
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:03,680
Quantified people are saying but AMD is the author that's fine but it still

862
01:03:01,799 --> 01:03:05,880
isn't an editorial and therefore isn't an

863
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:13,000
advertorial so yeah

864
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:18,200
um huh okay I mean as long as it's

865
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:22,599
disclosed it's sort of up to them and their relationship with their viewers uh

866
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:28,599
for our part we do do sponsored content we've done sponsored content for years

867
01:03:25,279 --> 01:03:31,079
we say when it sponsored

868
01:03:28,599 --> 01:03:36,920
content I would love to say that we've never used anyone's numbers we've shown

869
01:03:34,279 --> 01:03:39,839
slides with a manufacturer's numbers generally speaking that would be before

870
01:03:38,359 --> 01:03:43,720
we get an opportunity to show our own numbers like at a launch event or when

871
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:47,480
it's being first unveiled at CES for example yeah um but then it's usually

872
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:51,480
clearly stated that that's their numbers but it's clearly stated that it is someone else's numbers not quite but

873
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:54,960
probably almost every time that I've done that I've been like but we'll have

874
01:03:53,359 --> 01:03:58,760
to see when we can get it back into the office for testing of our own I mean

875
01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:03,319
with over 3,000 videos uploaded I don't want to say we've never shown anybody

876
01:04:00,319 --> 01:04:04,680
else's numbers but generally speaking

877
01:04:03,319 --> 01:04:08,359
that's where we draw our line clear disclosure and running our own

878
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:13,240
validation against the claims of the manufacturer yeah in this case I can't

879
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:18,319
speak to their due diligence uh behind the scenes except to say that this graph

880
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:25,119
doesn't look like it was produced by them it looks like it was produced by AMD for all I know they ran the

881
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:27,520
numbers but I I don't don't have a way

882
01:04:25,119 --> 01:04:31,119
of that performance by AMD oh no that's right it does down at the very bottom

883
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:35,319
yeah uh testing done by AMD performance Labs March 1st 2017 using a core

884
01:04:35,599 --> 01:04:43,839
i76700k oh boy

885
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:45,480
um yeah so I'm not going to say look

886
01:04:43,839 --> 01:04:50,079
sponsored content shouldn't exist I'm just going to say it needs to be clearly

887
01:04:47,039 --> 01:04:54,079
disclosed and for me

888
01:04:50,079 --> 01:04:54,079
personally um

889
01:04:55,799 --> 01:05:01,200
I'm very careful about any claims that are

890
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:05,400
made in our publication that I couldn't stand behind

891
01:05:04,279 --> 01:05:11,720
whether I was the one who ran the numbers or whether it was my idea or whether it was someone else's idea um

892
01:05:09,279 --> 01:05:15,240
even in sponsored content and it's up to tech power up to manage their

893
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:20,720
relationship with their audience and their trust with their audience um in

894
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:28,160
terms of how they want to proceed with this

895
01:05:23,359 --> 01:05:30,000
there yeah interesting one more topic um

896
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:35,000
I'm kind of done okay yeah that's boring that's boring oh

897
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:39,440
okay this is kind of cool pet yeah yeah coaxial gamer posted this on the for

898
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:47,240
original article from overclock 3d. net tashiba produces the world's first 4 bit

899
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:50,240
per cell so that's qlc nand flash memory

900
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:52,279
so the endurance on this stuff will suck

901
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:57,160
um like we're talking a handful of right Cycles

902
01:05:54,839 --> 01:06:05,440
compared to what SLC would have been capable of if it still existed but um

903
01:06:00,559 --> 01:06:08,480
great for write once read many many

904
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:10,720
times kinds of applications because it

905
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:16,480
will be really cheap so we're talking capacities of up to 96 gigabyt of

906
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:20,079
storage per die allowing Toshiba to

907
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:22,039
create a 1.5 terab SSD package with a 16

908
01:06:20,079 --> 01:06:27,640
die stacked architecture so they're going to demo it at the 2017 flash

909
01:06:23,839 --> 01:06:29,920
Summit in August uh there's x299 boards

910
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:35,480
bad vrm cooling oh yeah that's a big sort of thing I think we did tease that

911
01:06:32,079 --> 01:06:36,880
so uh yeah uh we should probably talk

912
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:41,559
about it I've seen this guy's videos before I think you pronounced the

913
01:06:38,559 --> 01:06:44,440
channel derau yep der I met him yeah yes

914
01:06:41,559 --> 01:06:50,440
I've good videos actually but um der posted a video uh showing that the vrms

915
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:52,799
on an x299 board were reaching 100 degre

916
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:58,240
and the single 8 Pin connectors for the power supply can hit 60° when over

917
01:06:55,599 --> 01:07:04,400
talking the 10 core models so here's derau good guy Pro overclocker um

918
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:08,960
actually makes the derau delting tool which he gave us one of nice which

919
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:15,599
pretty pretty sick yeah um and he has some serious concerns about x299 and how

920
01:07:13,359 --> 01:07:19,319
much time the motherboard manufacturers had to work on their designs to make

921
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:23,119
sure that they were cooled correctly and not just that but um if you're

922
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:30,240
interested in that kind of stuff go watch his video he does good stuff but given that the motherboard manufacturers

923
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:33,119
also got blindsided by any CPUs with a

924
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:36,359
core count over 12 it's not just a matter of being rushed but also a matter

925
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:41,279
of not having enough information potentially to design a board that is

926
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:46,720
actually capable of handling this to be fair he was testing with one of 10 yes

927
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:52,319
the 10 cor models but yeah so it so it can't get any better it can only get

928
01:07:48,839 --> 01:07:54,319
worse is sort of the point yeah okay

929
01:07:52,319 --> 01:08:00,680
there's there's one more topic we can gloss over it a little bit but want to

930
01:07:56,240 --> 01:08:05,039
some people information if no

931
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:06,400
um Peta ransomware okay um I do really

932
01:08:05,039 --> 01:08:14,480
want to give a call out for the guy on the Forum that posted this thread WM

933
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:16,880
groom AK has done a very very good job

934
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:22,480
of keeping this up to date with really good article linking really good quoting

935
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:24,520
really good updates um condensing big

936
01:08:22,480 --> 01:08:29,359
updates on other sites down into easy digestible things so if you're

937
01:08:26,279 --> 01:08:32,440
interested in the world of viruses and

938
01:08:29,359 --> 01:08:34,400
hacking and ransomware and wipers and

939
01:08:32,440 --> 01:08:40,600
everything else definitely go check out this thread I just post it in the chat

940
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:42,000
awesome um and there's a lot of crazy

941
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:46,080
information in there there's there's a bit of a developing story yeah so you

942
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:48,799
can maybe if we cover this now and someone watches the show in three days

943
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:54,120
it's not going to be up to dat all our notes are wrong and not because James is

944
01:08:51,679 --> 01:08:57,560
a bad person but because it has literally all changed it's been changing

945
01:08:56,040 --> 01:09:02,679
since he made his notes so so so go check out that thread it's being updated

946
01:08:59,440 --> 01:09:05,239
like it it was last updated like

947
01:09:02,679 --> 01:09:09,920
slightly over an hour ago y like after the show was even supposed to start

948
01:09:07,480 --> 01:09:15,640
technically before the show started but yeah um it it's it's parading as

949
01:09:12,799 --> 01:09:19,960
ransomware it's actually a wiper uh apparently the email account has been

950
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:23,839
closed by the email hosting service that was hosting it so even if you try to pay

951
01:09:22,239 --> 01:09:28,120
to get your thing back they can't receive the email so not going to be

952
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:32,719
able to give you a key to unlock your device like it's it's it's a mess right

953
01:09:31,480 --> 01:09:40,199
