my friends and welcome to the WAN Show the
restaurant that's not even relevant a
joke isn't just supposed to be random this is not Family Guy this is the WAN
show this is a much better show there was a TJ Fridays in uh Norway and that
was weird that is kind of trippy yeah why
would there be a TJ Fridays I would think it would be like I I can't even I
I don't even know what language they speak in Norway Norwegian it's they they
have a language it's like a slightly different version of yeah oh
interesting anyways we have some pretty interesting call outs which lonus is
going to start I guess or not yeah right
so uh good old G excuse me uh Gog
they're not good old games anymore cuz they have like Witcher 3 coming out on
it soon or something uh they have their own launcher so they're looking to go up
against steam as opposed to being a place where you can buy like you know
Hugo's House of Horrors um Microsoft is
calling Windows 10 the last version of
Windows which either means they've uh kind of decided okay that's it we've
made enough billions of dollars we're going to pack it in we're all going to retire we're going to take all the cash
divvy it up between all the Microsoft employees and B I mean can you imagine
if a company the size of Microsoft did that they just like y dissolved
overnight you know what you know we're done let's just let's just you know what
you know Apple for example let's say apple decided you know what we've got
$80 billion in the bank it's more than
enough money for the we make every single one of our employees even like
store level janitors just not have to work for the rest of their lives yeah
that's enough I mean we we earned this forget it we don't need a Beats by Dre
streaming service anymore I mean forget who cares let them you know get their
music somewhere else which is actually a topic we're going to talk about later but you go ahead anyways Nintendo is
looking into mobile games or potentially looking into mobile games which is
interesting and our last call out isn't even really a call out it's a whole
topic anyways Tesla is selling used cars and they're selling them by region so
that's pretty cool and the whole topic dang it you gave there was one piece of
the topic left then and you ruined even that well you could technically buy it
from a different region but the store you search by I haven't fired you in a
while so I look for like Vancouver and then you see that there's like a 5%
discount and now you're even you're elabor you're elaborating on the one
little piece of information that they were missing from the announcement video
it's because it's Tesla I can't like I can talk about this for too long but
this is the WAN Show so we have potentially more interesting topics to
talk about potentially intro it
worked yeah I tested I think it's like lagging
though is anyone even
watching yes oh okay good
I know twitch at some point they're going to fix sorry oops um uh sponsor
Linda learn things fresh books yeah
account for things yeah mop buy things buy things
with the money that you made so you learn stuff start your own business and
run the accounting for it and then buy stuff with the money that you made from
this this is a highly disturbing Trend that I'm seeing from you is trying to
tie all of our sponsors together and then no seriously if you tie in Dollar
Shave Club as well you can look professional throw them off an integration
Cliff that's what you're doing you're drowning them all you're throwing them
in the water all drowning them all in success can you imagine that would be a
great Channel Super Fun swim while tied
together you we have to do it in a pool that we wouldn't die in yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah we'd have to have like like you'd have to have kind of oh I
don't know what you'd have to do you'd have to have like ropes tied to you that
people at the side can like literally pull you right out of the pool if like
something we could put like carabiners on them so you could disconnect from people if it really became bad yeah yeah
but like so you make teams right and
each team has to choose the way that so
okay okay okay so like if you're going to do the butterfly or whatever yeah so you do multiple Heats right so each team
gets to choose so let's say we have three teams right we got seven people who work here someone's going to have to
operate the camera so you got three teams teams each team gets to choose a
way that everyone has to be tied together oh my God so you do three Heats
oh no right so you can swim however you want I guess yes but if team L for
example says okay you have to be tied
together at the waist side by side then
everyone has to do that oh my God we can have Team L because we have two L's team
n because of two uh n's and then team T
because of a t and an
e you're determined to ruin this show today aren't
you sorry that actually sounds hilarious and we should probably do that so why
don't we kick off with some Community announcements we'll have to find a pool
that'll let us film at it I was trying to take a picture of my son at his
swimming lesson and they were like no no no no no and I was like oh yeah I guess
I I get that cuz like oh yeah it's a
camera and stuff but like I was clearly
like part of a pool can you do can you
rent a pool I think so you because I think you can book a pool just like you
can book like a movie theater I okay you
know we should look into it it sounds like an expensive super fun I think
super fun is probably going to get to the point where we're going to start to
rely on something like patreon for it because quite quite frankly we haven't
figured out how to monetize it we just lose money on it we lose money every
time we do it cuz it's fun and because we like it and because we think you guys
like it yeah like there's a lot of reasons we do it but money is not is not
one of them like lonus Tech tips straight up is the swimmer with Channel
super fun tied to it and like swimming
in the opposite direction because even something like buying the life-size
soccer ball thing that I was rolling around inside for the upcoming video
which is going to be fun by way say most people don't know about that yeah that's
coming if you follow on Instagram you'll have seen a picture of the ball even
buying that ball it's like 60 bucks that's more we're going to make on
Google AdSense on that video to be completely Frank with you guys and then
the whole company was out for like two hours I think plus someone's going to
spend four or five hours editing the stupid thing like that's that's the
amount of money that we just throw in a fire every time we make a childan super
fun video but I think that if we did
like patreon funding for it where we kind of went okay every time we make a
Channel Super Fun you guys played you know two bucks or five bucks or whatever
I I haven't looked that closely into patreon they've contacted me been like
why don't you use patreon I was like well because we run a lot of advertising
on our content and I think we do a video every day so if you're contributing per
video that be yeah so unless people are like patreon contributors for like 50
cents they're going to feel like we're like giving it to them pretty hard and
people already give us monthly contributions we already have a mechanism for that which keeps our our
website afloat and you know pays for the much more expensive servers that we have
now compared to the one that was running off a test bench in the office at NC but
us that for a little while yeah oh it was awful it was bad it was really bad
we have like a real server and a real data center now and we have like real
monthly software package subscriptions that keep the whole thing running
smoothly it's amazing it's great um anyway I think something like that could
make sense but uh yeah we'd probably need need you guys to help with her or
something cuz I'm thinking the cost of like booking a pool for a couple hours
we need to do something like that it's not going to be cheap yeah um okay so
why don't we move into our first topic of the day and we can do that as soon as
I plug in my HDMI cable and we didn't
sincerely hope that it works otherwise blue screen oh I am not hoping for a
blue screen we're actually we're plugged into the black magic intensity right now
oh dear yeah so that blue screen legitimately straight up could straight
up happen so our first topic is why Microsoft is calling Windows 10 the last
version of Windows the original article here is from The Verge look at that why
is the webcam oh right here last week um
so why Microsoft is calling Windows 10 the last version of Windows now to be
clear the joke we made earlier about
maybe they're just packing it in and they're going to give all the money to
all the employees and tell them to retire um that is not what is happening
instead it's going to be um I mean there's been Rumblings of Windows as a
service for a long time now but that
there's no confirmation necessarily that that's what we're looking at here but
what Microsoft is saying is that Windows 10 is going to be the end of the of the
huge monolithic Windows releases every 2 to three years and the beginning of much
more Nimble rapid updates and not
necessarily to the OS as a whole or even
as a piece of
software cuz an OS is not a whole
oh but even to just individual
components of it so for example they could um they could update something
like Xbox or they could update uh you know mail for example and they could
continue to evolve the functionality of the OS with smaller updates over time
and now they have set a precedent now
for Windows 8.1 users getting or Windows
8 users getting the update to 8.1 which I still maintain was not a new OS I I
don't even understand why they called it anything other than eight service pack
one anyway even 8.1 just have have the
message and be like service packs are gone now it's a decimal point that would
have been fine I would have understood that like why do we insist on just
insisting it's a different operating system but there's an update to it so
the like no just stop anyway Windows 10 though they're offering a free update
and I guess you can also roll up to Windows 10 from 8.1 and you can even
revert it which is not the same as any pack I've thought that was awesome
anyways um so Windows 10 is has is the
first time we've seen them roll out a major update for free so I guess the the
question here is are we going to see 10.1
10.2 um is that is that just hilariously
close to Apple's OS 10 with iterations
um is is that what they're going that actually just occurred to me that's
pretty funny yeah it is every operating system will now be 10 Android
10 mem and N I wonder if they'll just get
rid of not a desert public naming like everyone else seems to be doing with
everything which is like not okay with Hardware but anyways I wonder if that
just get rid of public naming because eventually if they keep iterating like they did with eight so 8.1 and then keep
going on from there they'll eventually run out of numbers uh like they actually
ran into with Windows n where their internal software stuff went above the
and there's stuff that they could have done and like apple ran into when they
ran out of cats no really yeah that's why it's
yanity they ran out of interesting cats
I mean they could have gone with like you know os10
Tabby but but I don't think anyone would have
been that impressed Quil like knitting
needles oh or when you buy like when you
buy the entire ecosystem then you can you get like an a free upgrade to OS 10
cat lady comes with a cat sweater and and a
cat bed which they won't use and it comes with four cardboard boxes which
they will use that's right um what are
we even talking about anymore I don't know we were talking about Windows 10
right okay so yes it's unclear how Windows has a service like if you were
to have to buy a subscription for it will play into this um it's unclear if
they plan to monetize it through the App Store if they plan to finally do a way
better job of that which is what would be required for them to monetize Windows
through the App Store in any meaningful way um I I personally am kind of looking
at it as like okay well maybe we also thank you to Lord sparklebottom yes for
posting that topic um you know I I can I
can see them not necessarily charging for Windows but kind of subsidizing
Windows development with one drive your one drive subscription and with your
Office 365 subscription but it seems like you're so far away from that and I
would personally rather be able to use whatever version of those Services I
wanted and have it integrated so that I could easily do that and just pay for
Windows I mean the fact that Office 365
stubbornly insists that I use one drive for cloud saave means that I just
straight up don't don't use cloud save because one drive is just not as
convenient for me to use as Dropbox and and so we do use cloud saave we just use
the local file manager to save it into the Dropbox folder in instead of the
nicely integrated Cloud saave feature which should be open to everything which
exactly I can't I can't I like I even
paying for that yeah I am paying for Office 365 so if I decide I want to use
a different cloud storage service you know what I should be allowed to I
should be allowed to use Apple's cloud storage if I feel like it so so yeah I
mean I I guess unless they can find a way to make everything so neatly and
beautifully integrated that I don't even want to use anything else then then sure
we're a long way away from that but there's little stuff that Microsoft just
still doesn't get like um someone thought it was hilarious to sign up my
Hotmail account for uh they used one of those I mean it's not like this is
exactly a new prank but they used one of those pages where you can sign someone
up for like daily Inspirational Bible verses and you can uh sign people up for
like boatloads of them at once very conveniently with sites like this so um
I don't actually monitor the email account so I didn't realize until I
fired up an old smartphone that I haven't used in a long time that happens to be logged into that account and I was
watching a video on it and I was hearing notifications like every 5 or 10 seconds
and I was like what's going on that's kind of weird like what what where what
where are these even coming from and so I finally figured it out that Hotmail
address had 55,000 unread emails in it
and um so compared to Gmail where that
would be really simple I would create a
search for a domain I would go at this
contains create filter apply filter to
all previous conversations I would press one button and everything would be gone
for Hotmail they have a feature called sweep so you highlight a message you
press sweep and then it deletes and you
can select block feature messages but only that exact matching email address
and I'm sitting here going why L of these aren't going to match why yeah a
lot of them aren't going to match because content filters that's why I
don't have uh 15,000 emails from CES
every year yeah because of content filters filtering is is not just good it
is absolutely necessary I mean it's not like I'm saying that Gmail is perfect in
fact is this ever going to load there we go okay so I think I can screen share
with you guys right now should be fine yep all that looks fine okay yep I'm
going to screen share with you guys so I mean there's stuff like this that drives
me crazy about um oh you know what I'm going to no I am going to make sure of
something before I go ahead and start typing so um no no that's fine um so you
know like
um okay well you know what forget it there's a
couple things that Gmail does that drives me crazy like if you do a search
in the top bar in Gmail for just the sending domain it doesn't work and it's
just like really I can't just search for
keyword NVIDIA and have that bring up anyone who emailed no it has to actually
contain NVIDIA in the body of the email another thing is oh wait no could be
wrong hold on no maybe it's when I start searching for no no that's fine uh maybe
it's right yes that's what it is when
you uh when you start typing in the address bar you can't just type the
domain so if I just type NVIDIA it doesn't bring up a list of all the
people that I've corresponded with who have an email NVIDIA.com and I'm kind of
sitting here going why how is it possible that it doesn't
search the entire email address field
for or something like a keyword like that that all time so there so there is
stuff that drives me absolutely bananas another one that drives me crazy is I email myself a lot and if I type in and
this this is a funny one if I type in
lonus at it still doesn't come up with
my own email address it still populates
with a bunch of other people that are also on my company domain before my own
apparently if you go from colon NVIDIA it works but that's just that's stupid
why should I have to do that so yes I'm aware that you know I can go on Google
and I can go you know site colon blah blah blah and there are ways to yes use
search tools much more powerfully but I really shouldn't have to do something
that obvious so let's go ahead and move on to our next topic here what is our
next topic Apple wants to kill free music streaming apps like Spotify and
beats rech posted by tangra tangra
tangra article here is also from The Verge I don't know whether or not tangra
is like the the little fast uh like
monkey enemy who's like Speedy or or like the
the tangra like the big beastly enemy oh
I'm going to go with irritating yeah irritating little yeah I'm going to go
with monkey enemy okay yeah um so
Apple's apparently pushing music labels to kill free Spotify streaming ahead of
the Beats Rel launch so this picture is
from uh the is the famous picture of
some super not hip dudes with at least
one dude who is allegedly fairly fairly hip and with it so to speak I wouldn't
personally know much about the subject but that's from the acquisition of Beats
Audio by Apple the single largest acquisition they've ever made and the
Rumor the word on the street streets oh
was that it wasn't about the headphones it was rather about the beats music
streaming service that Apple wanted to you know sort of get into that business
of and sort of Leave Behind the more traditional iTunes model where users buy
individual songs or they buy albums so they they they wanted a competitive
streaming service now it is now known that Apple does intend to relaunch that
streaming service and the sort of the the Spotify is already speaking out
about Apple's business tactics for making sure that it doesn't have any
free competitors so apple is apparently
pushing record labels to influence them
and to influence their artists to remove
the free options remove their music from free options like spotify's ad supported
streaming service so which has to be one of like the least surprising things
pretty much ever um Taylor Swift has actually come out publicly I think this
was a number of months ago but I can see if I can find the quote uh when she
pulled when she didn't put her new album on Spotify and I think actually pulled
her entire back catalog yeah I think her
stuff is still on Google Play music I don't have a Spotify account so I can
actually um I can check that one but I I can't verify yeah so here's the here's
the article on the breakup with Spotify let's go ahead and so this is from CNBC
evidently she's got a good quote in here where basically the long and short of it
is there she is she's got lipstick on she's Taylor Swift that's very
interesting um but the long and short of
it is you know music should have a should have a value um we shouldn't be
treating it like it's free so people should pay for it and I want to protect
the users that spent you know $22.99 or
whatever it is they spent on the album from feeling like they got a raw deal
because someone else can listen to it for free if they're willing to put up with some advertising which sounds all
you know fine and good except that we all know what it's really about come on
now um and I mean that's fine it's not like
we're not also about making money for making our content it's just you might
as well at least be honest about it should just say I pulled my music off of
Spotify because yeah so shake it off so
her latest album is still not on Google Play music either so she's reserving it
for the album but her back catalog I believe still is available on a paid
service Google play music um so yeah you might as well just be be honest about it
is but that is a direction that I can definitely see more artists getting on
board with is hey you know what let's get people back in the habit of paying
for music maybe it's less but maybe it's
at least something the hard thing here
is that there will pretty much always be a service if someone wants your music
for free there will pretty much always be something whether it's YouTube or
something else well apparently Apple's putting Apple's putting pressure on
labels to remove free YouTube streaming as well which is also ad supplemented so
so the the idea is moving away from ad
supported music and I I know that you don't mean YouTube I know what you mean
and we might as well just speak frankly if it is too difficult for someone to
get the music in a way that they perceive is free or if you remove a
convenient option like Spotify cuz let's face it cuz buying buying music in
Canada is brutal like it actually is it sucks buying an album is really actually
difficult to do cuz most of the album stores don't really exist anymore or in
very crappy quantities and getting an
actual album is often not available you can't just buy the mp3s off of Amazon
remember I wanted the uh Arctic Monkeys A&M album yeah I do remember that and
someone in the States ended up buying the mp3s and being like I won't ever
listen to them so they're kind of yours here and gave them to me and I was like
uh it's like we haven't actually we haven't actually done this correctly but
I don't know how to tell you this is wrong because it doesn't feel wrong does
it no um so I don't know so anyway
stupid um so Spotify currently has 60 million users only 15 million of them
however are paid users and the beat streaming service is expected to be full
of exclusive content um the new
streaming service is expected to debut at WWDC in June what is WWDC um
worldwide developer conference oh and I
guess that's pretty much all there is to say about it I I think we got to do like
a Twitter Blitz or something for this so we talk about oh oh oh yes yeah like I I
want to because I want to hear from you
guys will you I first don't tweet me yet
because I'm I haven't told you what to tweet yet I want to hear from Spotify
users I want to hear from paid and free
Spotify user specifically so I I do subscribe to a streaming service I don't
qualify if you're a paid Spotify user I
want to I want to hear what you think about artists locking into exclusivity
deals with particular streaming services because for me personally a big part of
the argument for me paying a monthly subscription to you know use my stupid
data plan to listen to all of my music which I'm also paying for a huge part of
the argument is that it's a One-Stop shop I don't want to start subscribing
to Google Play music for my Taylor Swift and Spotify for my redot Chili Peppers
and beats music for my whatever cuz all of a sudden now we're adding up to maybe
I'm spending $25 $30 a month well hold on a second well I could just be buying
MP3s at a dollar a pop the old way for
what I'm now paying for a streaming service and arguably streaming services
do have a value I find the discoverability of new music is great
through a streaming service because I'll hear all kinds of stuff it never would
have even occurred to me to look for before but if all of a sudden I have to
subscribe to a bunch of them that's just that's just sucky because then then I
don't even know you know what music accessory to buy cuz maybe my Sonos
system or my you know whatever other you know music streaming device supports
this one but not the other now it turns into a fragmented nightmare um so I want
to hear from I want to hear from the paid Spotify Spotify users and I also
want to hear from the free Spotify users would you guys be willing to pay if the
exclusivity thing didn't happen would you be willing to pay for Spotify for
the same service you enjoy for free now with ads if it meant that artists like
Taylor Swift or let's say let's see you don't like Taylor Swift I don't care
it's not the point artists that you care about whose music you want to hear if
they didn't pull their support from the service entirely just for having a free
option so go ahead and uh start hitting us at linch on Twitter Let's uh let's
start getting those replies in and uh then let's go ahead and uh move into our
next topic and then we'll come back to that yes okay so this is from Alex Goes
High and the article is either from straight from the horse's mouth or from
The Verge the the actual straight from them article is quite good to be
completely honest so maybe we'll go with that
Boop check it out yo are you all butt
hurt at steam or valve or valves steam
are you letting off stee about how you feel about valve or giant Bronze Statues
that I'm kind of happy we didn't make I'm really glad we didn't build that thing CU like we wouldn't have managed
to for those of you who don't know we had like a like a a reward tier for
crowdfunding campaign we did a while ago where the plan was that we would um the
plan was that we would build a life-size gay Ben statue which would have been
hilarious but um by the time we managed to get the
thing commissioned get the artist out here get the thing actually built valve
would have gone from like you know the king of the popular gaming companies to
they've been doing a fair bit of digging lately so all right so you want an
alternative Gog galaxy forly known as good old games so
Galaxy is their new gaming platform that
is and get this DRM free so you can
actually have a completely DRM free version of any game that you own on good
old games and you can download that to your computer play it without DRM and
fully optional gaming Cent that you can
use for games that you buy on
g.com super cool the Rebrand is for a
reason so it used to be called good old games because it was all old games I
don't know that they were necessarily all good but they were definitely all
old yep um but that's not necessarily the case anymore so a big like you know
major launch title coming up is actually Witcher 3 which is not old might not be
good if you're into The Witcher it's probably
good but um personally I never really got into the whole the whole Witcher
thing I never super did but I have a buddy who's like it's probably his
favorite franchise I think he's watched I think there's a movie or something and
he's read books and yeah so he's really
excited about it there's some really cool features there's obvious kind of
things like optional auto updates and
oneclick installs which you'd kind of expect from this um but then there is
offline support which is cool cuz that's not necessarily true for everything and
the ability to roll back roll back auto updates is very cool leaving that for
the last one was the coolest thing I'm sorry roll back updates is awesome so
their their little blurb on this is sometimes game updates break things
which is very true um yeah thanks to the
built-in roll back feature you can restore your game to Prior states with
just a single click so even if you just didn't like something if you're like oh
they rebalanced this this way I'm playing a single player game and it
nerfed my character I'm just going to keep rolling around with this overpowered character you like all right
roll back um I think that's pretty cool for yeah like I just said a bunch of
different reasons also there's backup copy download which is cool their quote
on this is want to backup your purchases we get it for all games you can download
a DRM free backup installer that you can save to an external disc drive or Cloud
also super cool I love this thing I'm excited honestly I've been waiting for
this for a really long time so it's pretty cool that it's here than they
don't have their in-game overlay working yet
but uh I have two monitors anyways I'm not too worried about it and oh get it
not too worried about it I wasn't paying attention to you did
you know 22222 is falling on a
Tuesday no I didn't it is good for you
anyways crossplay right okay I wanted to talk about this crossplay enabled games
will offer online play between Gog and steam so I don't remember the name of
the game but there's a game that I bought on Kickstarter a while ago and I
cashed in my key before they had steam keys so I got a Gog key for it and then
all my friends bought it on Steam and I wasn't able to play with any of them and
it's like a co-op game so I haven't even
played it at all and I got it like a really long time
ago because I've been waiting for crossplay Get Wrecked so I'm excited for
that it might actually already be able to be done without the launcher but either way I don't know I'm super stoked
for this because I think valve's comfy
coach has been getting a little bit too comfy and they've been kind of they've
sold a lot of hats and they've got a lot
of money and the thing about a lot of money is that it seems to uh it seems to
turn into well how do we get like more of it so that we can build an even
bigger money for it uh pretty quickly and it just yeah it I don't know it just
seems like it seems seems like a lot of what we I wonder if we've been just
misinterpreting valve all along like a lot of what
we what sorry um a lot of what we've
misinterpreted as valve just generally being good guys is simply valve being
good business guys so the decisions that they make that please the community are
they doing it because they believe it's the right thing to do or are they doing it because of you know famous quotes
like Gabe n's um don't do anything blah
blah blah Don't Lie to the internet because they'll remember and they'll always catch you etc etc etc is that
advice because that's an ethical good guy thing to do or is that advice
because it's a business thing because it's a your business will not make as
much money if you don't do that so I think there's a lot of room for for
someone to come in and compete with valve I don't think Ubisoft or EA are
necessarily the answer we need a truly third party service and that's what
what's interesting about G is that they don't make
games so they're not you're not supporting a competitor's platform EA
doesn't have to line valves Pockets to
have their game on valves platform and
vice versa so maybe then we might see a
little bit less of the sort of you know
the the the up play fortress and the origin Fortress and the steam Fortress
maybe at at some point in the future I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon we will see a Bonafide thirdparty
option that these guys can feel comfortable launching their games
through because there was a time long
long ago when game developers were willing to share their profit margins
with a retailer it was a long time ago um so I
don't I don't think it's that uh e games and GameStop oh no nope I'm totally
wrong apparently it's owned by CD project red why I made the weird face no
no I was wrong I did not know that I did not know that GG was owned by CD project
red I actually didn't know it was an ownership either but I knew they were
like super major in cahoots that much is
apparent I did not know they owned it so there you go there is no well then it's
okay so CD project owns CD project red and G so there you go apparently well
let's move on then GG luses hopeful you
know future amazing so we have to wait for something else then well CD project
seems to kind of want to work with people yeah but it doesn't matter
because another game developer isn't going to want to line their pockets
because we all see what happened that last time that
happened yay uh so let's go ahead and go to that
Twitter Blitz that I had said that we would do before so something about
Arctic Monkeys yeah um so you know no
they should keep the ad supported tier right but that wasn't really the
question the question was if they are
forced to would you pay basically the problem is that uh even when you watch
ads you're not making as much money for that person or platform or whatever you
want to call it as you would if you contributed directly very little often
times like fraction of a scent enough
that it can keep them afloat and can probably cover your C of being on the
website if their name is Taylor Swift and a lot of people listen to it but oh
I meant for just the hosting service oh I see
um but yeah all right um Eric flood free
Spotify user here seems like a complete money grab well yes Apple's turning into
the same institution that they beat oh that is uh that is actually a pretty
spot
on um yeah I mean a big part of Apple's pitch was oh BL blah blah blah the way
we've always done this with the incumbents with buying an entire album
or buying a single for way too much for one song is stupid we should do and and
apple that's actually that's actually really interesting Apple stuck to their
guns about things like the you know the 99 Cent song download back in the day
because it's not like there couldn't have been premium songs for $4.99 as a
as a single release for example on iTunes that could have been done but
they were they were they were they held steadfast that a song should cost a
dollar on the iTunes Store so so the
whole thing that they that that that's a really good point the whole the whole
thing where you had to pay way too much to listen to music did get torn down by
Apple and that was a big step towards online music distribution so it seems
like now that someone else innovated
before Apple um they kind of want to
dial things back and go back to go back to the old way um very very interesting
Mr flood Matthew Harvey says I'm a free user Spotify for me is too expensive
when I can just watch it on YouTube if it becomes exclusive now something to watch out for uh Mr Harvey is that the
same pressure on Spotify will also be on YouTube for ad supported
music yes with that said I mean it's not
like Google has made any kind of a
particularly well-kept secret out of the fact that they intend to move YouTube
towards some kind of a premium platform they already have what I forget what
it's called now but their YouTube music pass thing that costs about the same asy
think music key thank you or whatever I forget what it's called I think he is
right um so yeah I wouldn't imagine for
a second my thing with YouTube though with what he's bring up it's not even
necessarily Vivo or like YouTube music or whatever it's the like random dude
that uploaded the whole album and no matter how much YouTube
wants to like have their algorithms go and take them all out there always seems
to be a few that make it through regardless yeah which is funny because
like I uploaded a video actually it's funny the fractal designed to find our 4
April fools video that we uploaded got flagged for uh content infringement and
the supposedly infringing part of the video was when the rain was falling on
the case at the end of the video and it was like it's this song I'm it is not
there is no song there isn't even any audio in the video at that point um so
anyway it was a video that got like 300,000 VI use and the AdSense got
ripped off of it so I was like can you not please did they did they give it
back I don't know I didn't look but by now no one's going to watch that video anymore like it's just stupid so anyway
um I don't know there there it seems to be pretty cat cholly for certain things
yeah um when I watch YouTube that matters I turn off ad block like your
case okay that's good thank you uh not
necessarily the topic of conversation right now um for a show about technology
why do you use low bit rate and only 30 FPS on Twitch well Canada yeah thank you
we're Canadian and our internet service provider is being a in fact we've
dropped 413 frames on this show alone
and we're only streaming at some pathetic I think about half of our
official rated upload speed maybe like a third of it there's not much we can do
about that right now we are moving yes to a new office that will have a 200
megabit Uplink and then we better freaking be able to stream properly
we're going to stream whatever we please once that happens god um as a free user
I don't care about the paid service I just ignore the ads I think what a lot
of you guys are missing is that what's happening is the songs you want to
listen to aren't going to be there anymore so there is no ignoring the ads
it's like the song's not there so um so
I I really wanted to get a feel for whether whether you guys would be would
be willing to pay as free users but I think maybe I didn't I didn't you know I
didn't succinctly enough make the point of what I I you go to the next thing
I'll see if I can sure um all right so
our next topic for the day Star Wars
Battlefront will not have iron sights
according to EA um so my initial reaction here and
this is this is like totally a joke and
not what I would really expect them to actually do but can you
imagine a Star Wars Battlefront where you had like scenario missions where
you've got like a crack team of Rebel Commandos like you've got four or six
Rebels versus what what is it 20 20 player or 24 player can't remember
anymore so you had so you had the Imperials but the Imperials can only hit
fire because Stormtroopers can't hit anything dirty dirt so like so like the
rebels can look down a site but the Stormtroopers just have to be like
PE and they have so so like that could
make that could make for a really fun game mode right that would be hilarious
and the Stormtroopers have really quick respawns and it's all objective based
right so the rebels have to plant a bomb in the thing and the and and Storm
Troopers like their guns Jam or whatever like like you make the stor they're slow
moving they can't see they hit their head on doors as they're opening yeah
they can get taken Ewoks jump on them and beat them with like stones and for
some reason spam spam F to get rid of Ewok yeah the armor that they're wearing
doesn't do anything for some reason like
that would be a super fun game mode that would be awesome just eliminate iron
sights and the quote is
hilarious it doesn't say we want to be Counter-Strike there are no iron sights
in Star Wars on the ordinary blasters
box said you have scopes on some rifles
but there are no iron sights we're not
taking into account what we've done before I think that would be
disrespectful to the fans and to what we're trying to achieve
here in response to the fact that their other shooter Battlefield does actually
in fact contain iron sights a lot of the things you saw in the game have nothing
to do with anything we've done before some features of course resemble our
other Shooters because we want to make the best possible shooter but in general
we've tried to do something completely unique okay what did he even say he said
a whole bunch of [ __ ] you've watched the movies a lot though do they aim down
the side of the gun of course they do then who cares not well to be clear well
Stormtroopers can't because the costume
prevents them from like the the chin you can't get your chin against the gun but
they do hold the gun like this now I
actually have from shepperton Design
Studios a stormtrooper Blaster oh that
I'm going to go retrieve now while you maybe do another topic or something like
that don't worry I got this I got this I'm going to go retrieve my Stormtrooper
Blaster and we're going to find out if it has anything on it resembling SES or
if that's even more nonsense than it already appeared to be cool that's I
will return I would love to do another topic for you guys but my laptop has
completely lagged out just use mine all right I can use Linus's laptop oh
fantastic oh there we go my laptop's working again good timing so we have
another Topic in here that isn't actually uh it doesn't have any notes on
it at all but I'm going to cover it anyways because I just think it's that
hilarious I'm going to try to post it in chat let's see if it'll work yes okay so
Jewelers are starting to Plate Apple watches with gold to undercut Apple's
pricey Edition models hilarious and it
looks really good like okay I don't like
gold to be completely honest I would actually rather the Silvery model one if
I wanted one of them but it looks really good for what it is and I think that's
absolutely hilarious I don't know how how much it costs golden dreams is Apparently one of
them so it cost about $3,500 oh my butt's wet oh not
cool how much water was that here
bit can I see yeah yeah here just oh wow
yeah so that mostly went on your butt too yeah no it went like it went like
like it hit the shirt and kind of went down the pants
actually so okay that's good to know so all the water that's on the couch has
actually touched your butt yes nice okay yes it is butt water I wanted to make
sure that it was at least butt water okay what what are we talking about um
Apple watch the guys that are plating it with gold for
$3,500 24 karat gold 24 karat yellow
gold 18 karat rose gold or 18 car white gold so there is a less expensive
Service uh the one that we've actually talked to is watch plate which is doing
it for 400 bucks which I think is actually a lot more reasonable because
when you account for that the Apple watch it has an $85 bomb cost I I think
spend 24 karat rose gold or 24 karat yellow C which is even better than the
spec I'm not aware of 24 karat rose gold cuz like the composition of rose gold I
don't know if it actually allows for 24 someone tweeted me about this and I
didn't look into it any further but I don't know much about my point is for
something like a mobile device that I that I you know realistically you're
going to replace at least every couple of generations I think 700 or $800 total
is a lot more reasonable than you know three or four or $5,000 total let alone
15 or 17 or however much an addition costs so I think this is brilliant I a
lot of the comments on the thread on the Forum were about um how Apple's probably
going to sue I don't see how Apple could sue them I don't think you can that's
like that's like Ford suing someone for painting their car and they're not
selling goldplated Apple watches they're selling the service of gold plating a
Apple watch and I actually talked to watch plate the the guy at watch
plate.com I think they're going to send us an Apple Watch for review because we
obviously weren't able to get one from Apple because we're us um and it will be
so in much the same way that we do uh debr and um skinned phones since dbrand
provides our phones um it looks like we're going to do a goldplated watch and
so we'll we'll work in some messaging about the goldplated watch and all that
and anyway um so so we're probably going to work with those guys on it and I'm
really I'm really excited to see it anyway I talked to him and the
background of their company is really really interesting so they actually have
other businesses including uh something to do with like motorcycles and stuff
too so they're actually not just a fly
by night like dude in his garage with some chemicals plating things um so so
that's that's pretty cool that's that's good to know and he's looked very deeply
into the legality of this already and kind of went I he's got it cover this is
his process you you you place your order yeah uh you wait for a shipping label
which they will send you when it's when it comes to you you package up your
watch and ship it to them they gold plate it and ship it back within 3 days
and then you're done so they're not actually selling anything to do with the
watch other than plating it and you're allowed to do modifications for things
yes so if they were selling goldplated watches then there's a big problem
especially if they were calling it like you know addition watch for you know
$8.99 or $9.99 or whatever then then
it's like there's a trademark infringement there's all kinds of stuff that Apple can go after them for this
just looks like Apple's going to have to shut up and take it on the chin and uh
there's going to be no actual way to differentiate a goldplated cheaper watch
from an addition watch on the street and the people who buy addition watches are
just going to have to live with that is there like under the bottom of the watch
does it actually say addition on it probably so like I still think those
guys that were going to go out of their way to buy a $10,000 watch will probably
still do it I really wish they'd buy something other than an ad I've just not
saying it's a good idea yeah I just think they'll actually probably still do
it I guess why do I care it's not like I think buying a $10,000 watch is a good
idea in the first place yeah no I don't this might even give them more of a
reason because then they can look down on the people like if you see some if
you're wearing a gold one and someone else is wearing a gold one you can be like oh well is it actually an
addition and then if they're like no I just got a CO bit you okay sure that's
fine I got an actual addition blah blah blah blah blah I'm on their site right
now I'm looking to see if they show the bottom of it at all I don't know has
anyone actually reviewed the addition yet
I don't know I I have no idea I'd love
to see a picture of the bottom just so I can find out or if there's something in
the firmware that tells us it's an addition like if you can you know scroll
down to a menu or something I don't know I don't see a single picture of the
bottom of the watch it seems like no one's actually that interested in that
that's funny anyway I'm really looking forward to reviewing it I'm also apparently also
courtesy of dbrand uh apparently going to reviewing the MacBook
2015 you know what here's the way I'm
going to tackle it there's actually a couple different angles that I have in my mind so I'm going to try and use it
I'm going to legit I was going to say the only way I think you can do it is use it and actually see how many times
you are unable to use it properly so I'm going to keep a tally of the number of
times that I needed to so I'm going to have to use it for an extended period I actually have a couple ideas of content
and one thing to keep in mind is while I believe that his uh Massacre of the
product will be just he is a cable salad
power user whenever we're in an airport there's everything you could possibly
connect to everything whenever we're anywhere there's everything you could
possibly connect to everything um so it will be somewhat of an extreme case I
I'm that's in saying that like I said I still think it's just but there's a
couple ways it could win me over there's a couple ways that could convince me
I've heard Apple's touchpads are outstanding I've used them briefly I've
never owned a Macbook though so I've used them they seem great every time
I've Ed them they seem really good I do prefer a mouse in general but I also
have never owned a Macbook so a mouse is the kind of thing that I very frequently
I carry one in my backpack I carry a mouse pad I very frequently plug a mouse
into my laptop what you talking about like a lot of us might carry mice and
mouse pads but there's not that many people that do that so I'm going to give
it a chance to win me over I'll give it a chance to win me over but I'm exp in
it to be a massacre when I was in school I carried a mouse and mouse pad to every
class of but like that's us like I don't know how many people will do so let's
see we'll see how it goes um but uh I'm
I'm I'm definitely I'm definitely stoked on that it's definitely going to be a
lot of fun I also brought my keyboard got a lot of people telling me to
apparently it says 18K gold on the bottom of the Edition okay all right
thank you very much so if they start engraving them then it's a problem I
guess maybe I don't know no cuz you're allowed to engrave anything you want
yeah and if if you actually spray it with 18K gold you wouldn't even be lying
yeah it would just say 18 well yeah but I could I could engrave it with made in
space and it's gray and that's not
that's not an infringement of made space gray coated with
plastic that it be like 20 karat gold like whatever 2 um okay so let's move on
to our oh no no let's go back a topic so
this is my E18 blaster this is uh from
shepperton Design Studios they sent this over along with the stormtrooper armor
that we featured in a couple of our videos in the past and uh let's have a
look here so now now EA has come out and
said that some some rifles will have
Scopes so sniping for example will be possible you're not going to have to hit
fire if you're sniping but I know for a fact that Han Solo's Blaster does have a
small scope on it even if it doesn't have an iron sight and and I now know
for a fact that the e11s in the original
in the original Star Wars and New Hope have a scope and an iron sight right
there so EA straight up lied to us again
there's your iron sight yes you can look down it if you were and you can see the
way the scope is mounted is on is on a
gun rail that scope comes off there's
your rear there's your front of the iron sight bam that is not a sniper rifle
that is a standard issue assault rifle and it has an iron sight EA Q D Get
Wrecked Get Wrecked all
right and that's as close to screen authentic as you're going to find it's
not like they just tacked on iron sights for no apparent
reason um oh yeah right uh we have sponsors for
this show and one of them is one of them
is linda.com hey look at that we got a new
mouse it works this week oh yay yay I
forgot about that linda.com is used by excuse me used by thousands of millions
of people around the world thousands of millions except not cuz that's a really
big number that's billions you could probably learn about that on linda.com
yeah you could probably learn some math on Linda all right well you could learn Excel
used by millions of people around the world they have more than 3,000 courses
available which is what I guess you were thinking of EX they have topics like web
development photography visual design business WordPress Photoshop Excel thank
you and the courses are taught by industry experts
so the whole idea behind it is that you get your your plan so they start at $25
a month and then you learn whatever you want at your own pace whatever your
objective happens to be you want to get get better at your hobby you want to get
better at your job you want to get a promotion opportunity you want to start
a completely new job altogether you want to become a freelancer working at home
linda.com I'm not going to say is the answer but it is sure as heck a place to
start and if you check out our link right here linda.com show you can try it
for free for two weeks to find out if it's right for you if the whole learning
at your own pace thing is a good two like business weeks 10 days 10 days
sorry yeah two two thank you business weeks let's just
call that speaking of business freshbooks.com is the online tool for
folks who run their own business yes so
instead of and I by the way I I oh oh if
your parents are watching I have now paid the invoice for the Copper from
your dad's Plumbing business which you haven't but I'm but I'm saying this so
that they know that it I have I have done my I have done my part of it he has
disengaged so this is the old way you know a contractor books a job and they
kind of have a vague notion vague notion of how many hours they spent on the
project not that we were being build hourly anyway because Loop's dad is a
freaking Saint and really helped us out with that project 4 in the morning yep
and so so you kind of track your hours you kind of track your materials you
hopefully have your receipts somewhere and then at the end of it you hopefully
remember to send an invoice in a timely manner and then the customer hopefully
pays you at some point with fresh books the workflow is simplified you use the
online tool to track things like your hours track mileage keep track of all
that stuff it's stored online so when you finished the job it's as simple as
Boop email something to the client get a notification that they've read it they
can pay it by credit card and instead of you know running around dealing with
payments and billing you are running around doing your business so check out
freshbooks.com slw if you or anyone you
know is looking for a way to simplify your accounting and if you do so try to
remember to enter when and the how did You Hear About Us section when you sign
up oh yeah right thank you for that all
right our last one today is mass drop least favorite sponsor what oh cuz
you spend all your money cuz they take my money yes and if you want to play
Battlefront you could get the battle station bundle to play with Battlefront
so you can shoot with iron sights all right so it's
drwan show and the battle station bundle
is actually looking pretty appealing right about now now when it first
launched it was not at its lowest price because that's the way that mass drop
works is they have a price range and whatever deal they Source based on
community feedback from the manufacturer starts at the highest price which is
usually moderately discounted or even just a little bit discounted and then
the more people glom onto it the lower the price drops and this one is looking
like a pretty Kick-Ass deal because it's already at the lowest price you guys
don't even need to commit to anything look at that they were only projecting
10 to reach the lowest price there's only 2 days left they sold 104 of these
so it's an ergotech ARM and 3 24in LG
monitors and the price is apparently uh
$39.99 us so I think I'm on I think I'm
seeing Canadian pricing oh oh oh I'm not
9.99 to Canada yeah I'm not signed in so it's not yeah so it's 53 to Canada and
then the US pricing right now is hopefully in the dock somewhere unless
totally five oh 540 us oh wow did that
say 539 Canadian what no it must be us
oh it's just shipping plus Canadian shipping okay so yeah it's 540 us for a
triple monitor ergotech ARM and three
1080p IPS display so pretty sick deal
you guys can check that out at draw UPS slw show sign up for Mass drop and check
our link which is the one that he just talked about for a variety of drops as
well oh yeah they just that they have more than that I usually I usually have
that knife they have like all kinds of cool stuff on there actually I got an
audio recorder so that we don't have to use Brandon's anymore not that long ago
that's good so that was pretty good yeah that was actually been using Brandon's
for a really long time we've got a rapid fire topic posted by Overlord original
article here is from tech power up and
uh fix Stars unveils the highest capacity 2 and 1/2 in SSD yet
6,000 gabes what that's ridiculous unknown
controller right now 6 million
megabytes keep going six billion
kilobytes Six Trillion
bytes six quadrillion tth of a bite
which doesn't actually exist because a bite is eight no eight bits so you would
only have like 78 of a bit per tenth of
a bite which is stupid sorry should I it is kind of dumb
it does make sense at a third certain point it's just really annoying to calculate but not for a computer anyways
time to keep going um it has an unknown controller up Nick hey how's it going
I'm going to make this super awkward oh thank you bringing us water what a nice
guy thanks Nick thanks Nick we appreciate you wow he flipped us off you
know Brandon Appreciation Day is coming do you remember that Brandon appreciation day almost a year AG almost
a year ago we had Brandon appreciation day where we called Brandon in and then
we're just like I appreciate you and then you told me to make a calendar
notification for it for the next year I completely forgot about it was setting
up the garbage calendar schedule and then saw Brandon appreciation day really
and was like what the hell is that that should we have Brandon appreciation day
again when is it August 1st August 1st which Saturday but we can just do it on
the day before rock on we should we should totally do Brandon Appreciation
Day this year don't tell him I I asked
him what the hell it was but you asked Brandon what it was but cuz I was like I
was like I don't know what this is but he doesn't know that we're doing it again oh I see so he'll probably just
forget about it okay excellent all right so uh basically the details of that SSD
are pretty straightforward uh 15 15 nanometer
mlc um mlc flash uh the underlying
controller is unknown yes um it saturates a SATA 36 GB per second
interface 540 megab per second read up to 520 megabytes per second right it
supports trim it has a three-year warranty um no no random iops
specifications are stated so the idea here is I think that this is not
intended to be a high performance desktop drive this is a mass storage SSD
for some reason I would laugh so hard if it was just like this tall no no it's
not it's not it's not it's it's it's standard I think oh 9.5 mm thick
standard 9 and a half millim thick like well it is 2 and 1/2 in in that
Dimension it's just also 3 feet tall that would be super awesome to put in
your notebook and just have like a 6 tbte laptop notebook SSD it's not going
to fit a lot of not books but it'll fit like some of the the like big ones the
really big ones yeah even those are moving to m.2 like even Ms size gt8 only
but if you get those like those little Boutique laptops that you can configure
like crazy a lot of times they'll still have big Drive areas cuz you can swap
out like your optical drive bay when they're still really big and use that as
a drive slot that's true all right assus
recalls the mg279 Q free sync compatible display
this was originally posted by Reigns X and the original article is from
sweclockers um this this display has
been um oh this is Swedish that makes sense
okay well at any rate I guess I won't be telling you
anything while I read it directly off of the not translated for some reason page
so pretty much the only English sources
right now are apparently forums so that was actually right in my notes on the
topic uh apparently the display skips every sixth frame mostly visible during
smooth motion at a constant speed which makes sense um it creates hiccups and
they are withdrawing all mg279 qes from the sales Channel all dissatisfied
customers should contact support early next week the issue should be possible
to correct with a new firmware but they need to be returned to the factory to
update with specialized equipment this is something that I legitimately don't
understand why is it that mon monitor manufacturers are afraid to provide
firmware update support on them we're allowed to update the firmware on our
motherboards we can even update firmware on graphics cards if we want that
doesn't Avid warranty which graphics card for more updates I think it does
but on a monitor I don't really I don't really understand why uh why they can't
just have like a uh you know a Diagnostics only USB port or better yet
the USB port that's already on there um
have like a diagnostic mode or like a switch you can hit or something like
that it doesn't actually connect really to the monitor yeah I guess that's true
it's just powered yeah so I mean fine
then come up with a different way I don't care I mean I yeah just some way
to do it that would be cool enough monitors are coming out now like you saw
the um what was that stupid the first
free sync monitor available first free
sync was it AO ISO I can never remember how you're supposed to pronounce it uh
the first free sync monitor for sale but basically it came
without freesync support and relied on a firmware update I I can't I can't I
can't remember who it was uh ocuk it
appears yeah so it required a firmware update once it was released I'm sitting
here going well why don't you just why don't you just actually give us the
ability to update the firmware of this yeah I I wasn't saying it's not doable I
just they can't do it through their current USB setup y CU it's just like
you're 100% right which is the best kind of right yeah Tesla now selling used
electric cars posted by tangra on the Forum original article here's from The
Wall Street Journal we kind of already talked about this well yeah but you only
intro it there's not really much else to say
so pretty much these are going to be cars that are coming off of lease and
they are going to sell them
online is there anything else we can say it's cool they're like they're certified
pre-owned or whatever which is cool uh I don't think there's really a huge
discount on a lot of them I checked out the Vancouver one not like I was going
to actually buy one just cuz I was interested it's still way out of my
price range by a lot but anyways I was
just interested cuz I was like Hey cuz you and me were talking about how the
only way we'd probably ever get something like a Tesla as if it was used
and way older than it is now um so I was like hey okay where's the landscape now
still way too far away for both of us
unfortunately um but like the discount
was not that high but then part of the problem is the ones being uh sold as
used on the Vancouver Market will have like 5,000 clicks really that's it what
are people doing with them that's my point I don't know and I'm like why is
this even here it's barely left the lot and I'm like okay well of course there's
no huge discount this thing has barely been driven like where's the one with
like that dude that drives like crazy and racked up like a 100,000 clicks
already yeah that drives like an hour and a half to work and then charges his
car and then drives home every day yeah where is that guy I guess he doesn't
have a Tesla he hasn't resold it guess he's like he's a he's a working Schmo
and uh can't afford a Tesla unfortunately yeah so I the Vancouver
Mar is a little bit starving right now I didn't do a ton of research apparently I
think Nick checked out more like the the like San Fran one and stuff like that
which will'll have way more apparently there's stuff in the program available for between $60 to $90,000 which is
definitely less than a new model S um but still going to be out of a lot of
people's price range and they are putting a warranty on it so the certified pre-owned ones are going to
have uh 4year or 50,000 mile warranties
on them which would last four years for your dude over there yeah yeah seriously
oh um it's currently only available in 11 US cities apparently and uh the cars
are coming from display models and or oh could be a display model oh so test
drives could be test drives oh so there
you go see that makes a ton of sense all right so yeah I don't really know what
else to say about selling used cars it's cool but it's not like I don't know I
mean to put this in perspective more like the kind of car that I've been
shopping for lately is like a be van for
lonus Media Group I was I was I was literally seeing
if I could buy a van for like a few thousand and I found I found a uh I
found a 2002 Honda Odyssey for $3,200
with $85,000 clicks on it or something like
that van are expensive is it minivan minivan no van vans in general the
$3,200 I thought that was pretty good that's pretty that's a lot of mileage
it's a lot of mileage good but it's a lot of mileage but considering that
it'll basically get driven to from the
office or not yeah we wouldn't use it much yeah
yeah so I was thinking cuz I don't want something expensive I want something
like super craptastic that I don't even have to lock the doors but you can throw
a bunch of junk in it whenever we need to move probably have to lock the doors
because with my car I'm really not worried about people stealing it um it's
a manual for one thing which is apparently a huge theft deter in North
America and for number two it's like not
useful for Smash and grab it has no cargo cap whereas a lot of people steal minivans
so they can smash and grab interesting I had no idea that's sense it makes a ton
of sense and because there's so many minivans on the road like stuff like a
Dodge Caravan for example is a prime target because it's like yeah there's a
missing vehicle it's a you know red Dodge Caravans like okay well there's a
lot of those crap ton of them and because there's so many it's probably
pretty well documented on how to break into them y yep so all all that kind of
stuff so we might actually have to worry about you know not having that we park
it inside I was just going to say we can park it in it's not like we're going to fill the whole thing yeah because for
those of you who are wanting to see what the new LMG headquarters is looking like
if you snagged a vessel membership back when we uh announced the free ones
during the first few days then it's already up on vessel we have a tour of
the new office and if you haven't then that's going to be coming to YouTube
very very soon and it'll give you a really good look at the New lonus Media
Group HQ which I personally think is awesome and I think is a good opport for
us to jump into um the feedback on the
most recent video that we launched on vessel have you the com some guy just
posted in the chat Lon you can buy our old Chrysler for, 1500 bucks 89k miles
89,000 miles yeah but miles you're probably in the states it's going to be
a nightmare getting that card here oh yeah no good thank you though I really I
sincerely appreciate the offer um but I
I really vehicle not a good idea
especially when you're in that low of price it's not going to be worth it yeah
thank you though can't say can't say
thank you enough um but no thanks that's
also, 1500 us oh yeah which would legitimately turn
into a lot more once you move it to Canadian all right so let's go ahead and
let's um let's let's uh let's fire up you know it's really funny
because we got so many complaints about
not doing unboxings anymore back when we killed them and we did an unboxing the
other day and the the N okay a that's
not very many likes and B the amount of hate on the
unprofessionalism of the video is uh so
there's like there's some people that like it but here we go this feels less
professional than usual here's someone that likes
it um bad
sound uh this is very disrespectful rude
and unprofessional disrespectful wow
um what what else we got whoa I think you should remove the video from here
and present your excuses to your fans and followers and to factual design stop
rushing wow um
okay uh
so like some people like it some people are like yeah he's um you know who cares
this guy's like yeah they're almost always why was this unboxing so ghetto
and unprofessional was it more ghetto and unprofessional than it it normally is
like the one guy complained about sound we should still have good sound even if
it's a I thought it was it was fine I mean there was some winds I was wearing
a lav so like that's kind of life sometimes you guys could put a wind sock on a lav no but I was wearing it in my
my shirt like it's not that bad um so yeah I don't know we we thought we were
like I haven't I haven't watched it I thought we were like doing the right I
thought we were doing the right thing you know like hey let's bring back
unboxing a while wait till it hits YouTube and kind of have to feel it out
a little bit more and whatnot but yeah what's the title of it but with that
said I mean the vessel audience is in some ways going to be like sort of the
the die hards yep the guys that don't miss a video even if the video is called
hey we're launching on a new platform as opposed to heyy here's a hot new product
you might actually give two cares about um so yeah I I don't know I was just I
was quite taken aback yeah got a lot of
people saying like yeah it was it was bad it was terrible in fact the entire
twitch chat has uh has pretty much has pretty much exploded with people saying
like it was great or it was like super stupid it was super terrible and um so I
don't know I don't know maybe we'll bring back unboxings as like a a a
regular or even once in a while thing um
I don't I don't know I don't know I mean the reality of it is um unboxings are a
good way for us to address a product like the defin s where I could have done
a full review Luke could have done a full review but the cold hard truth is
it's the Define R5 the full review wouldn't have taken much more time than
the unboxing it's a Define R5 with no front door and no Drive cages in the
front and more water cooling radiator spots sort of because the Define R5 has
them you just have to pull out the cages that would have been the review what
else am I supposed to say the the the the thing like the fact of the matter
here is we've got we'll have people complain about us glossing over this
product but then we're going to have people complain or worse yet simply not
watch the video when we do like a proper
more professional review as opposed to just goofing around and having some fun
with it on a product that just isn't very interesting so I don't know and
when you get to we've discussed this but not with necessarily this terminology
when you get to masterful levels in product tiers like we kind of have in
certain ways with phones where like you're you're outpacing what people need
or want other than freaking batteries but anyways that's he means the product
not our reviewing technique yeah yeah yeah so when the to clarify we're
basically masters of reviewing so everyone just needs to not what I meant
at all calm their boobies down bad my bad my b um so basically when the
iterations become much less interesting it's hard to make an interesting 5 to 7
Minute video every time and sometimes it's actually kind of better to just be
like look these two things are different
this is a general idea of the product you're welcome there you go all
right people have been demanding a straw pole the straw pole is here um got
people making good points if it's not that interesting why unbox it well some
people are still going to want to see it it's a fractal product I still don't
mind showing it to you guys it's not a bad case in fact there's some really
good things about it I personally don't think that many people need more than
five mounting points for drives I've actually and I think you have too
struggled with certain ideas where we want to show you guys something but it
would only take 30 seconds to show it to you so how do we do that because if we
release a 30 second video I mean there's a uh I mean there's
the possib I mean what I've done with stuff like that in the past is the handy
Tech series is an interesting way of tackling that where we do we often come
up with ways and we make it work but like that's that is a legitimate problem
but it's funny because if we pad the content people complain and if we make a
a short piece like I did what I called I think I called it like a micro review
for the Moto E which was again a product I didn't think was particularly
interesting but was relevant from the perspective of you know someone who's
doesn't have a lot of money and is shopping for a phone um so I did what I
called a micro review and then we get people complaining that the content to
uh sponsor spot ratio is not good and I'm kind of sitting here going who cares
who actually cares it's at the end of
the video you don't have to keep watching we we do that out of
consideration for you guys and it's it's not a better video if we just write it
to be longer and put in filler it's it's
not a better video If there's no point to the cont that were staying it doesn't
make it better and like I would make the argument that for something like the Define s the point was the voyage of
Discovery I mean that's what people claim to have always liked about the unboxings that we did was this is the
first time I'm seeing it and here's the here's the process um I mean a lot of
the complaints about it are about apparently the way that I handled the case you know how I handled the case I
lifted it up to shake it to demonstrate that something had come loose inside and
the side panel came off because the screws had come out
did I handle that case poorly who handled that case
poorly not him that's the answer to that
question so and people are like upset oh he's throwing it around I never threw it
around I dropped the side panel because the side panel screws came out because
the captive nubbins on it make it so that only a tiny bit of the threading
goes into the side panel so which is something that is
actually really really hard to capture that's actually an interesting Point that's really hard to capture in a
professional review because when he takes that side panel off it's not going
to be filmed the first time um and it's
not going to end up really making it in the video and then if he claims like oh the side panel came off because the
screws are short then some people will not necessarily believe him blah blah
blah blah but with that said no one would ever open up a case by shaking it
you know if they were buying it for themselves and I would make a decision
when but there's always there's there's always going to be The Accidental clumsy
where they bump something or trip on on something and like later on if they're carrying their computer around and their
buddy like slops them on the shoulder and it's like hey man and the side panel
falls off like I don't know yeah it seems pretty unlikely I mean I think I
think far what I would probably do when I'm writing that script is I would go
okay am I actually going to encounter this problem
if I'm buying the seen the uning taking it apart yeah no I shake it around a
fair bit so if I buy the case I take the side panels off I put them in the in the
Box safely while I you know build my computer in it no I'm not so not going
to mention that but it is something that probably should have been addressed
they should have had a longer screw anyway the point is it's just stop
spoiling the video's it's just an unboxing it's the
the the only entertaining thing about the video is just hey here's a video I
talk about the product it's kind of entertaining I hope um all right so
let's go ahead and what the straw oh um
so somewhere around
so the wow audience wants somewhere between 77 and
94% in favor of unboxings with that said they don't get
the kind of viewership that our proper reviews do um so for me I like I see it
as a way of as a way of covering products that I think are interesting enough to make a video but not
interesting enough to spend the hours and hours and hours and hours and hours
involved in making one of our normal videos which is why we selected the one we did to be completely honest so let's
see maybe we'll we'll try it a couple more times or we'll see how the Define
S1 goes when we launch it on YouTube and stuff like that what
about yep um I think we should just try that rather than pulling them about it
we'll just see how it goes um there was
another topic I wanted to hit just now Nintendo is apparently working on a
theme park yeah so they're joining forces with Universal Parks and Resorts
this is the first ever attractions based Nintendo thing and there's no other info
um and that's the actual logo yeah that's at all horrible that's for a game
I own it it's actually pretty good um okay so yeah so this is if you have
friends the article is pretty much pure speculation uh it was posted on the
Forum by notional and I would go I would
go I would go to this versus Disneyland oh 100% I think in terms of relevance to
my childhood I would be so scared to go though cuz the
merch oh the merch oh my financials yeah well that's
exactly it I mean Nintendo for Our Generation I think Nintendo is actually
has so much bigger than more relevance than Disney yeah um I mean I'm just
trying to think like Disney does a really good job with the princesses with the with the the young
the little girl demographic what do they have for the guys they got they got
cars um which cars is crap movie no oh
that was like that was like merched like
cars everything no no but is cars like a
guy specific thing um it's a guy technically yeah I think cars you could
be a girl and be interested in race cars yeah you could but I think that's not
when they when lesser percentage when they sat down and they had a planning
meeting for the demographic they're targeting I don't think little girls it
was was it um so not frozen so yeah so
not frozen like what targets what targets little boys
Aladdin Aladdin was never really merched in the way that something like a car or
and it's old any of their new stuff I don't really know back in the
day Aladdin people saying cars is Pixar
Pixar's owned by Disney
um they own Star Wars yeah they own Star Wars but that's not I've got someone
saying cars is a great movie I'm sorry but cars has Owen Wilson in
it I still think you should do your movie nothing with Owen
Wilson in column does contain
also falls into column is great movie a movie rating database like just a
database that automatically rates movies based on like contains Al anyone brings
up that Marley and Me atrocity I don't even want to talk to that person ever
again to story okay yeah but Toy Story was very poorly
merched yeah did did you ever like that's true there was there was some
would like Toy Story was and that was pre- Disney ownership by the way so Toy
Story was was a Pixar project that
seemed like they just it was pre-commercial yeah like they they used
actual toys other than uh Buzz Light ear and Woody so the only merch deal would
be things like bed spreads and stickers
did they even really sell Woody and Buzz much not much as far as I'm I remember
being a kid and being like the first time I ever saw a Buzz Lightyear toy I
was like whoa you can get those yeah
like it wasn't it wasn't like a oh I see these everywhere it didn't have the
Disney Juggernaut merchandising meile you can buy like bow and arrow sets from
The Hunger Games or whatever and like B you can buy whatever you want for new
ones like Frozen has everything you could possibly want Frozen was such a
huge Commercial Success you know they're working on the sequel now right yeah yeah so they've brought back uh some of
the some of the same folks um I'm stoked for it I'm going to watch it um Frozen
was good the Olaf dude the dude that runs the shop in the
mountains oh that's the Snowman what yeah oh oh no okay so you
me the Swedish guy right the Swedish guy yes so cool I love that guy he made the
whole movie for me anyways keep going um
where what were we yeah I don't know like I don't get it anyway so yeah Nintendo theme park I would go I would
take my kids there because it would have a lot more relevance to me it would be a lot more interesting to me it wouldn't
just be like and they'd still have fun yeah and they would still have fun
there's rides do they care chines do Mickey Mouse versus Mario Mickey Mouse
versus Mario how is that not in a fighting game
yet apparent apparently rayu might be coming
to uh Smash Brothers the whole it's so inbred now
like when are we going to get a stormtrooper in Smash Brothers that would be awesome matter of time absolute
matter of time like it just gets to the point where you add so many characters it's like completely imbalanced and it
doesn't and no one even cares anymore it's just like we oh people will care
there's a really hardcore smash Community I know that people will care
but like most people won't care if it's
something as cool as like we put Darth Vader and Smash Brothers one thing that
I like about smash a Darth Vader Angry Bird there's the people that care and
there's very specific like crossover of crossover sorry Angry Bird oh my god
um that would be so ridiculous um there
there's enough like fine control and specific things that there's people that can care and there's stuff in the game
that caters to them which is super cool but it's also so General and easy to
pick up that random people can just play still have a good time unless they're
playing against those people in which case the hardc it's ridiculous yes
anyways we have lost we have lost so many live viewers since I've like
stopped talking about topics we've lost like 300 well we're like done are we is
there anything else EVGA is releasing ddr4 memory apparently and DDR3 memory I
see enhanced is coming to GTA 5 soon so that's going to be interesting cuz
everyone's going to get banned unless they pirate it I guess so more game
developers giving people more reasons to Pirate things super cool has a black
PCB evidently carefully selected chips
that's good sounds delicious if they
didn't carefully select chips there might be a Dorito on your RAM yep Dorito
memory they should sell someone should sell like specifically not carefully
selected chips RAM they used to so there's a chance that when you order it
in the mail you just get a bag of Doritos but they're super cheap so it's
like a lottery I was trying to have a real you know like how in games you can
like buy a key to open the box and you get something random so it's like that
with Real World products so there's like a 50% chance you get a bag of chips and
there's a 50% chance you get RAM but it's
55% of the cost of the actual item so
this is back when they used to actually do that this is an article from legit
reviews from back in 2005 this was uh wow almost to the day
10 years ago um I'm old holy crap I
can't believe I remember this so uh UT memory I's were actually based on the
famous throwaway stuff wind Bond bh5 no
no they were they were not throwaway um they were like they were they were they
were like working chips so so basically some bh5 dies got like found somewhere
um and pretty much what happened was uh
ocz bought a whack ton of them and released them as VX modules voltage
extreme because the chips weren't see I
can't remember exactly what it means okay after they were packaged they were
not speed bined utt stands for untested
memory ic's they were based off old wind Bond Die revisions no one found them
someone apparently legitimately obtained them so ocz released their gold VX
modules and pretty much because they weren't speed bin in any way and they
weren't sorted you had to pump VX stood for voltage extreme you had to pump like
obscene amounts of voltage through them but because they were based on the
famous bh5 which were some of the best most famous overclocking memory ever um
they could still overclock really well if you just fed enough voltage to them the problem was that they would die at
some point so there you go so this pretty good article
apparently mushkin had some Redline memory like sick like 2226 timings at
3.3 to 3 and2 volts and a big sign on it
that says active cooling required this is like back in the wild west of like PC
Hardware it's just like yeah anything goes forget JD specifications we're
going we're going full on UT and you know what I mean back when the back when
the signals were running at much lower frequencies there was less cross talk
there was less complexity in the trace designs um back then this kind of stuff
could actually fly these days I don't
even recommend um I I don't even I don't even
recommend overclocking memory anymore I recommend putting it in your system at
the speed that it's supposed to run at and leaving it because it doesn't make a
difference to Performance anymore anyway I mean this was back in the days when
you were accessing memory over the front side bus so you would like over the snot
out of that and you needed high speed memory in order to stay in sync like
maintaining a one:1 ratio was like a big deal because all of a sudden you were
wasting fewer clock cycles and there was less latency like ah yeah and uh that's
when that kind of stuff was fun that was when that kind of stuff actually made an
ounce of sense these days overclocking memory just gets you random crashes
every once in a while and higher temperature memory yeah so there you go
yeah anyways um that was a fun show yeah so I
guess that's pretty much it thank you guys very much for tuning in apparently
people didn't like my RAM Lottery idea your RAM Lottery idea I wasn't even
listening to you I literally have no idea what you're talking about okay all
right well thank you guys for tuning in we'll see you again next week same bat
Time same bat channel did people not
understand it yeah I had someone tweet me what do you mean same bad time same
bad Channel what's wrong with the time and channel bat like Batman it's like
the old 70s Batman so that made me feel old too just all about the feeling old
today the best part is he's not actually that old I'm I feel old you're not
technically old enough to have seen that though that's true I'm old enough that
it was rerun on TV though I've I watched
it on YTV but obviously but doesn't YTV do the like super old school rerun
things I'm willing to bet they don't still rerun that like I'm willing to bet
their super old reruns are like Bobby's World now no you know yeah yeah right
because I've seen it
yeah okay oh it broke oh it didn't all
right people are asking for an after party but my back is swe so yeah and I
have a question from Ken about a
video
um next time Tesla cently the model 3 will be
unveiled next march interesting h i
don't believe rumors anymore I'll wait till it's
unveiled sponsors remember if you use all
