all right welcome to the W show we've
got a lot of great topics for you guys today including but not limited to
Luke's food which actually smells a lot
better than it looks yeah because it actually looks like garbage it does I I
can't really like show you cuz it's not going to show very well yeah I don't mean yeah well I know I think they I
think they get the point I don't mean figurative garbage I mean it looks
literally like garbage like the like
people's leftover plate scraps that been for like a couple days probably that
they put but it smells really good it smells like hot and sour soup um also on
the show today we've got Google's event which includes their unveiling of the
pixel and the pixel XL yes for the uh
larger uh plus-sized Among Us no plus-
siiz is different um plus-sized hands I'm a plus-sized
hand model like I mean I'm not but I I
was I was playing a part Galaxy Note 7's
still problems lots of problem T tons of terrible problems well there's one
problem a singular terrible problem yeah there's one problem it's just really
terrible that's all um Google is
Reinventing Wi-Fi again and by Reinventing I mean taking
something that has existed for a very very very long time and doing doing it
in an affordable device that's targeted at consumers because why hasn't that
ever been done up until this point what
else we got also I tried the hollow lens
for an extremely short period of time let's talk about that that's solid man
yeah wait for it no Hollow no I got it
oh yeah oh I'll just roll the intro okay that became awkward
what is
that oh apparently the intro audio is very low all right well um
Squarespace and also oh crap okay Squarespace and also dollar shape club
and also stalling for time while I turn up the intro audio which I forgot that
we fixed at some point so I don't have to turn it down all the time
anymore yeah all right it wouldn't be
the W show we were mostly on time no we
weren't it's 4 was 4:45 last time it was like 520 well that's true but last time
we were trying to have you call in from Tim Buck 2 and the audio should not be a
complicated problem no it shouldn't be but the audio sliders I swear I swear
they were like it was like exploding in my ears when I listened to the like the
the sound in the corner and you I could
barely
hear and I couldn't adjust I couldn't adjust our our voice chat we tried two
different video chat clients and I couldn't adjust that without adjusting
the system slider and whenever I adjusted the system
slider explosion I've been trying to get Discord to include video chat that would
be awesome um I was trying to get them to specifically do it so that you can
add the video of the person's video chat as a like camera in xplit right um they
don't really want to do that they want to do the video chat thing they don't
really want you to be able to add it as because that's more complicated I'm like but seriously that would be amazing
discord's whole thing by the way they are not a sponsor today on the L show uh
but like discord's whole thing like talking to their guys
it's so cool because they're just so down to earth I'm just like they're
pretty chill why did you guys build a video chat platform and they're like
well cuz like we couldn't figure out why everything else was
terrible thank you that's why everyone
should develop everything yeah they still have a lot of ground to catch up
on like they they need to have like tiered chat things and that's coming I
think and they need some other stuff but I like the platform anyways I like the
philosophy is what I like all right speaking of philosophies the Google
Nexus device it's
gone it's gone the way of the Play Store
Edition like Galaxy what was that like in the S5 days or whatever it was when
they used to do the Play edition yeah so
so for a while there Nexus and Play edition kind of existed alongside each
other so Nexus were these Google excl exclusive sort of devices sometimes they
were quite similar to a device that the actual manufacturer of the hardware
would also release with their own Android skin and then we got play editions where Google kind of adopted
devices that were already out there on the market so HTC had a one Play edition
for example um and then now we are doing
away with that and we're getting something that is
completely completely built sort of by
gole gole so everything about the design everything about the hardware everything
about the software is Google both inside
and out now with that said uh we actually talked about this on the on the
show intro like clip that nobody watches as far as I can tell and that's okay I
don't blame you but they're actually quite funny they're they're worth going and finding they're often like better
than the first bit of the actual show yeah honestly I mean nothing against you
or me we're great we're always great what does that have to I just mean you
know the sometimes our best work is not actually on the show it's when we're
like excited about starting the show yeah um anyway the point is that it's
still manufactured by someone else because Google doesn't own like a phone
manufacturing facility yet I mean even Apple doesn't
own a phone manufacturing facility um so it's actually manufactured by HTC but
you won't find an HTC logo on it this is a Google phone so the pixel and the
pixel XL feature an aluminum unibody and
glass design a highdef AMOLED display a Snapdragon 821 processor 4 gigs of
lpddr4 memory a rear fingerprint sensor which I'm personally kind of bummed
about we can debate this after if you'd like uh 2770 or 3450 milliamp battery
and what they are claiming is the best camera ever yes although again this is
something that I'm going to have to see to believe because there's a lot more to
a mobile camera than just how it scores
on what's it called basemark I think
what's the The Benchmark I I can't remember what it's called it's one of
those things that I like look up before I have to talk about but I didn't today
because I didn't prepare for this so I'm excited though largely because of the no
camera bump thing no camera bump is great but okay okay fine I won't I won't
finish everything I'm talking about I am going to talk about the camera so just
because it gets a great score when it's uh doing what what are effectively the
equivalent of synthetic benchmarks like if you're shooting at lines and seeing
how close lines can be before you can't resolve them anymore all that kind of
stuff just because something performs well there does not mean that it
performs well in the real world of course um I mean a perfect example of
this was the axon 7 whose camera can
actually take a pretty darn great shot
but as I showed in my review if the subject is oh I don't know say moving
the axon 7 in order to achieve the image quality that it does in their you know
in like the the the glamour shots that you would take with it needs a much
longer shutter speed than the Galaxy S7 did so when I took pictures under the
same lighting conditions with both cameras of a moving subject you can tell
that even though they might be similar in quality the ones that you're actually
going to get usable pictures out of like in your day-to-day life when your kids
or your dogs or your you know to be fair
moving already photos from it taken by third party reviewers and that's that's
fine in not in not ideal lighting situations and ridiculously rapid fire
because the shutter speeds really fast and that's fine and I totally looking
forward to it we definitely do have a phone two phones actually I think being
provided by dbrand yeah I think um much like so I shot my iPhone 7 and 7 plus
video today so we'll just have b-roll of both of them so we can kind of cover
both moving on it's got 32 or 128 gigs
of storage I actually think this is a good move they don't have to have as
many skes uh no no dit 64 yeah just not
having an in between like who needs the tweener you either need a bunch of
storage on your phone or you don't really care in which case 32 gigs is Lots love it especially because this
phone in particular I don't really see any reason why I would need a 128 um
because it comes with unlimited full quality photo storage using Google
photos so that is pretty freaking sick I
mean that's a yeah honestly like for me
all that stuff say Snapdragon 821 blah blah blah no camera sure that's great
but not many photos yeah I take tons I
have kids oh yeah okay yeah I might like
I might like have dinner and take 40 photos cuz I'm like oh they're so cute
look at me taking all these photos of them terrible that they're never going to look at terrible and I'm never going
to show to people cuz I don't want to be that Dad but are you doing that thing
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah but I don't need that many for that yeah so
true there you go um I was just like
what yeah yeah don't wor everything's okay I'm doing the thing there is a 3.5
mm headphone jack holy I don't know
how they managed to fit it on this phone
um I don't even know why they thought it was necessary I mean who uses that's
like who uses wired headphones it's like they're not courageous yeah UNC
courageous is the word that I would use to describe you know I very recently
checked out this little robot thing and it has like emotions one of them is
courage theirs is probably like negative no no no I I I don't want to hear about
about this robot anymore unless it doesn't have a 3 and half mm Jack oh no
it doesn't it doesn't Okay courageous carry on there we go yeah so it has
different emotional and A1 is like a full point so
anyways you guys will see the video on that later yeah I mean isn't it kind of
crazy the way we work on videos that won't hit YouTube for like 3 weeks now
long time yeah it kind of trips me out actually it's a little unfortunate
considering a certain one that is currently on vessel after just sitting
around for like a while and new information has come out since then
which hurts it a little bit not not like a lot like it's not a big deal but just
looking back at it it's like oh I could have had more stuff that one yep oh the
what killed VR one so this Google thing just happened and they just announced
their Daydream thing Daydream view yeah
there's more information in there that would have been helpful to include in
that script all right so hold on let's finish up with the pixels uh there's
three colors I actually love the names of their color quite black really blue
and very silver it's such a shot at all the
complete nonsense that I blame lipstick
manufacturers okay that's fair if anyone in the lipstick industry is out there
you are to blame for this crap that we all go through where it's like it
passion red Sunrise I mean those aren't
even that bad a little bit like non-pg for a second cuz well that's what their
names are to be fair like once you get to a certain realm there's like like
there's even hair products they're just called like sexy
hair you're not even trying anymore it's
like bangable
red they just some companies should just go flat out like Yep this lipstick color
is bangable job Rose like I don't know
where's the limit
oh my God that would be the most hilarious lipstick we're goingon to lose
all of our we're gonna lose all of our sponsors they're all gone sorry I got a
call coming in I got a call coming in from Nick sorry sorry he can't say them
fast enough all the sponsors that are abandoning the show but we've gained a
new one they make lipsticks called room jop red we are now their only it tastes
awful oh God okay uh moving on okay so
Daydream view the first Daydream ready VR headset go so Daydream we've talked
about on the W show before is like kind of a certification process for Android
phones where you have to have the the right like movement teex so it's
accurate it knows exactly where the phone is inside it's fast enough the
processor is good enough etc etc etc and
then there's Daydream content now they have Daydream view which is like the
headset thing that you put the phone in it's compatible with the different a bunch of different types of phones it's
not uh locked down to like HTC because
HTC is the one that made the pixel it's kind of whatever you want to put in
there um which is cool and stuff the
reason why I was against it yeah what I
just said is having this information
would have pushed in really well to a video that's currently on vessel yeah
like u i mean you can think you can talk about it a fair bit I mean it's okay so
the still going to watch it yeah the video is called what killed VR um um it
it started from a wow from about three weeks ago where we talked about how
desktop users adoption of VR has gone down so like desktop VR like the opaque
tethered realm of VR that is
yeah oh so you break VR into quadrants
MH there's tethered so there's there's tethered and untethered and then there's
opaque and transparent oh I understand okay opaque yeah so like opaque tethered
would be Vive in Oculus Rifts um opaque
un tethered would be gear VR uh
transparent untethered is the hollow lens and then
transparent tethered is who would want
that there's there is one I don't remember what it's called yeah sounds
stupid I don't think it works very well if I remember corly I can't imagine it
would yeah so don't worry about that but there's like yeah there's the quadrants
so it's like why the opaque tethered side of things is not is losing adoption
rate um and I talk about like the Gear V
are and it would have been helpful to talk about Daydream view people are
still subscribing using twitch Prime peter meter 909 just subscribe using
twitch Prime apparently Colton told me this so it might be completely off base
um but apparently we have 500 subscribers
now that's crazy twitch Prime is different like uh it doesn't Auto re
like it's it's not really a subscription because it doesn't Auto reup oh okay but
they could come back and just click the button again and then it would do it oh
cool okay sorry carry on Daydream anyways um so like it's 79 bucks which
is price competitive with the 2015 gear VR not price competitive with
the 2016 gear VR um but
like I mean that's a $20 difference so
it's probably not that bad in the end um
they have a lot of like I'm not really going to be able to comment on this
properly but they talked a lot about the the overall design and the comfort and
the fit and the finish the stuff that I can't say anything about at all until I
touch it and try it and I haven't touched it and tried it so whatever um I
can say however that they did use fabric for the Touch faces which is good this
is what you kind of see with like uh the rift the Oculus Rift instead of the
Vive um they focused on comfort and ease of use it connects to the phone it has a
wireless connection to the phone which is kind of cool and an auto alignment
system stuff like that um it has a
controller with clickable touchpad and two buttons and there's sensors inside
that respond to how you move and stuff like that just yeah maybe it'll be okay
watch what killed VR I requested a review sample cool so maybe we'll get it
or maybe we won't they actually didn't reply to me so
nice yeah cool all right so let's talk
about some of the home stuff that they wanted to uh that they want you to put
in your home chomecast ultr here so you can content at up to 4K UHD uh it
supports HDR and Dolby Vision I mean I
color me skeptical as far as the whole is HDR okay HDR I can see making a
difference on something that you are
streaming and casting to a TV I mean we
are we are talking compression up the wazo at this point um even even taking
like 4K uh something like Marco Polo Okay so taking 4K HDR
content right off of your internet connection into your TV's built-in
Netflix app which are the ones that actually tend to get upgraded first when
there's a new feature there there's still a very
debatable um benefit to 4K resolution
HDR I can see making a difference because the additional color information
um it makes it look you're as a
bandwidth problem I'm saying that I doubt that 4k on a chomecast is going to
be anywhere near what 4K is capable of
and it's a bandwidth because yeah yeah because of all the compression so you're
still going to see compression artifacts and bending and
blockiness even though you have technically 3840 by 2160 pixels yeah
because if they had if they tried to do it all uncompressed and everyone tried to stream at the same time that would be
bad not to mentioned that I mean a a 4K
HDR Blu-ray is like 50
gigs so if you're not wired you're you're not
getting that level of quality um I
actually have my stable of 4K Blu-rays
now MH and I have an Xbox One S now and
so I have definitely not uh ripped the
because it's great because the 4K Blu-rays also come with the regular Blu-ray
so one thing I was worried about was that I was going to have to have two Blu-ray players on two separate inputs
but I can just have my PC and I can stream the regular uncompressed Blu-ray
rips and then I can have the Xbox that I don't have and then I can have the Xbox
connected to another HDMI input and Brandon's going to help me with this
we're going to just be able to flip between them just by changing inputs so
we can do a lot of side by side watching and uh in comparison so those are all
here I have a question uh how long until this is called the Google Cast and
Google Cast Ultra I don't know because we have Google Wi-Fi we have Google
home and then we have chomecast
right I I have no idea it's confusing to me and I mean like Samsung is going the
obvious intelligent route of just naming
everything gear so there's no confusion every sing
talking about this I thought that was stupid I thought no I'm yeah oh yeah no
calling everything gear is dumb I I didn't realize how extensive it was was
until I was doing the research for kill VR and I actually went on their website
and clicked on products and was like oh my god well I was doing an editing pass
of one of his scripts and I kept
referring to the Gear VR as the gear and
I was like nope that won't work because and you can't just call it gear VR
either because there's 15 or 2015 and 2016 versions maybe they're trying quite
different maybe they're trying to take like the bum equipment approach you know
where it's like Sam gear like they're actually just going to change the brand
oh no I'm oh no no I'm I'm joking I mean they're close to that though yeah
they're not that the Samsung Gear Galaxy
S7 XL explosion Edition
um you know okay seus you guys have seen seus on our Channel a few times the big
twitch streamer guy he not that Fusion kind of skinny actually no I meant like
anyways uh he he was was plugging his
Note 7 in at the beginning of his streams every time just like see if it
would
happen how hard do stre so awesome how
hard do streamers work to have dumb
stuff happen on their streams what do you oh yeah probably I mean at that
point you're just like you're inviting it I mean why don't you just have a bucket of gas sitting next to you and
strike a match at the beginning of every one of your streams hey let's just see
if let's just see if the currents in the room are blowing this way or that way
today people would really tune in for the start of all your streams yes they
would viewership boom would be really fast that is
irresponsible nah yes yes what do you
mean nah there is no n there's no it's not open responsible for getting tons of
views it's not open for debate um all
right so there's more to the chomecast ultra than just 4K though uh Google blah
blah blah so Google Play movies and TV are rolling out 4K content in November
that's cool that's also 4K that's not what I promised you just now it's also
1.8 times faster at loading content and features major Wi-Fi improvements which
it bloody well better if it's going to be doing anything Ethernet yes so
Ethernet for power users so that takes care of some of my concerns with respect
to 4K content not all I actually don't
know if it's gigabit or 1000 regardless there's still going to
be compression it's not going to solve the problem entirely they're going to
compress it before this to you they're not going to send completely uncompressed footage yeah anything
you're streaming over the Internet like honestly I bought House of Cards on
Blu-ray even though that's dumb because I have a Netflix subscription it's a
really well-shot show though and I'm starting to become a bit of a
cinematography snob it he did it to me I
he does it to everyone he do to me too I hate him because like I love
him well it's a LoveHate relationship he loves him I hate him
so like I don't even understand necessar
why things are wrong but you can feel it but you can feel it now when like before
I just didn't care like I can't even watch Big Bang Theory anymore and like
yeah I thought it was pretty funny but he he's on some podcast he complains
about all kinds of like like stupid stu
stuff but like wait Brandon's on a podcast I think so really was a guest or
something oh huh how about that well not yet like it's I think it's happening or
I don't know well I hate him um all right so Google in the home Google Wi-Fi
is an expandable system of APs now every time that anyone's tried to do this in
the past it's been stupid I mean this is
imperfect as well to be very clear but
whenever we've seen this in the past it's been really really stupid like it's
been oh yeah you should have a Wi-Fi
range extender which are awful God I hate
those range extender ERS are the worst your connection gets interrupted as you
cross over the barrier literally terrible unless you're going to leave a
gap in between two they range is awful
and the problem with that is that because their range is awful you can't
actually move them very far away from your original access point well unless
you're doing like one of those Ethernet extended ones even those ones have been
every time I've used one terrible oh yeah terrible experience unless you're
just like okay I give up I'm just going to have a separate SSID Linus's house
basement yeah yeah and that's what this is going to be well that's what I'm
saying if if you put it like I've seen some people that use them and they'll
put them in like the garage where the House Wi-Fi doesn't get to at all and
then just call the same thing and put the same
password which works if you have somewhere where your house Wi-Fi doesn't
reach at all it's complet yeah but it has to be completely dead otherwise phones are so bad for this they're so
sticky a sticky client is one that
doesn't grab a stronger signal very actively it just stays on some we saww
signal trying to transfer data knowing
that it can't do it I mean it's giving me an error on the screen that says the
web page can't load then try something else this doesn't seem that complicated
Windows phone is great at this your Wi-Fi cuts out switches over to data I
mean it's the one thing that I miss
about using Windows phone um okay so I'm going to drop in one of the little kind
of funny things about me being at Microsoft right now I know we're going to talk about Hollin yet but what you
just said was hilarious um while I was down there we were talking about uh
insert NDA currently covered content
here so there you go and I was like what
platforms is this coming to um is it going to be on you know tried to like be
subtle about it like hey you going to release this on more things than just
Windows phone and the person insert NDA
covered name here um was like well we're
going to try to get to where the people
are oh oh that's not nice to
themselves so it's going to be on their platform first so they can like kind of
work things out I mean I just think that's not fair to their users either I
mean calling everyone who uses Windows Phone a chimp not of people well okay I
think they might have said it a slightly different way but yeah yeah I just not
to go on for too long about this I think it's part of the new CEO kind of deal
yeah because before they used to be very like don't compete with their own products kind of thing and now they not
good anyways anyway back to Google Wi-Fi so the hardware is designed to be
visually subtle W and it comes with a feature set called Network assist which
optimizes which AP you're accessing they also give you a network management app
impressive and it works together with uh Google on hubs the pre-orders are
available in November shipping in early December 130 bucks for a single unit
$2.99 for a three pack they really want you to buy that three pack they do uh
and I mean I understand why so it's kind of a mesh-based network thing that
they've got going on here which still is going to hurt your data transfer rates
with that said wii AC I actually don't know if it's Wave 1 or wave two which
would be interesting because if it's wave two iPhone 6 S's and 7s are
actually going to perform really well even with a couple of hops um
but AC Wi-Fi has gotten fast enough that for most anything You' need to do if
you're going through a hop or two you'll probably still be okay both latency and
bandwidth wise so I'm really interested to see how this works out I don't
generally cover Wi-Fi stuff anymore because it usually makes me want to rip
my hair out um because things just don't work the way that you expect but the
great news about this product is that it is designed to be easy to use basically
you just take these things you scatter them around all over your house and bippity boppity it's supposed to be
amazing coverage everywhere seamlessly so if anything doesn't work seamlessly
then I just get to say that instead of trying to problem solve it so there you
go let's find out how that goes uh Google home uh seems like a huge Focus I
don't really care because it's not available in Canada so it's 129 bucks
includes a six-month free trial of YouTube red and pre-orders are available
now for first class citizens down in the United States of
America uh yeah I was going to say we could just ship it and bring it over the
we've done that before that didn't work out very well that did not work out well with the echo all right
let's move on to our next article original from The Verge I actually
posted it already a post recall Galaxy
Note 7 caught fire on a Southwest Airlines flight with a thick gray green
quote unquote angry
smoke pretty uh that looks delicious
yeah yeah that that looks about as appetizing as your food hey man that's
pretty true oh it's actually good it just looks terrible it smells great yeah
it's good though it looks like monkey butt it's like kale and brown rice and
corn and peppers and chicken it sounds awful too I mean it tastes all right
yeah it smells good yeah smells good
yeah the phone is currently in the hands of the local fire department with the
arson investigation unit so I guess they're trying to figure out who they're
going to throw blame at um which I think we can probably guess the owner of the
Note 7 that caught on fire has already replaced it with an iPhone 7 uhoh
so that sounds super
surprising to be clear this is one of the units that Samsung has already
deemed to be safe y the phone was
charged to about 80% when the incident occurred and when the IMEI was run
through Samsung's recall eligibility Checker it read great news your device
is not in the list of affected devices if you have any other questions contact
us at blippity bloy Blue so they issued a statement okay
until we are able to retrieve the device we cannot confirm which is currently
held by the fire department we cannot confirm that this incident involves the
new Note 7 they're possibly trying to say that it's the old one we are working
with authorities and Southwest now to recover the device okay so they're work
at the fire department I guess and confirm the cause once we have examined
the device we will have more information to share although I think that's
literally exactly what's happening right now is the government is examining the
device so I don't really think it matters too much what Samsung finds it
matters a lot more what the government finds the US consumer product safety commission is opening an investigation
into the incident and this seems to be the first reported incident of a
replacement phone going bad at least in the US if it's actually a replacement
phone all right apple is has apparently
patented a fingerprint sensor that works through the display that's pretty crazy
the headline here and I'm posting the original Apple Insider article in the
twitch chat here the headline reads hints at iPhone 8 technology although I
would be very surprised if we see this in the iPhone 8 because if apple is yeah
I did if apple is patenting it now what you guys need to understand and Luke
will have a lot of really cool information about this in that upcoming Microsoft coverage do not miss those
Microsoft videos they are going to be very cool um there's no way if apple is
patting it today that it will be anywhere near the iPhone 8 yeah mark my
words the development cycle of a product like that is at least 18 months to 2
years at least it'll be a while so it'll be a while but it sounds really cool
unless they were just like hedging their bets that no one else would figure it
out and tried to just place the pl patent last minute but that's very
uncharacteristic and very unlikely so it's rumored that the 2017 iPhone will
get rid of the iconic home button entirely making way for a full screen
face edgo Edge OLED display um apple is said to be working
on a virtual button which presumably carries over the same features and
functions I mean the taptic engine is I'm just going to say that that would be fine one step in that direction already
yeah but I would be very surprised if they try and do something so dramatic
two phones in a row especially because we already know that the S variant
usually changes very little yeah over the nons variant yeah so if something
like that were to happen oh I guess they are saying iPhone 8 but then they're saying 2017 device okay well they can't
decide what they're talking about rumors so maybe but I doubt it because the
27 excuse me the 2018 iPhone would be
yeah that would be hold on a second that would be two years away okay maybe so
we'll see I'm not good at time and
math what was I talking about again uh
we're now talking about Washington State gambling commission which has ordered
valve to stop skin gambling via steam oh
I wanted to talk about some of the tech in though did you yeah so with most
fingerprint sensors separation between the contact surface and the capacitive
sensing array results in a blurring of the finger electric field leading to
degraded fingerprint image resolutions and degraded recognition accuracy
Apple's proposed implementation uses electrostatic lenses uh described as one
or more patterned conductive layers so depending on the position relative
voltage and shape the layers are able to shape or bend the electric field
associated with the user's fingers which sounds really cool
that was the reason I went to go move on I was just like okay all right did you
post this already now it is all right I'm going to go ahead and screen share
it you go ahead and tell us about this so I think it's pretty self-explanatory
actually there is a huge amount of notes here um but I don't actually think
there's a ton to say basically Washington state is deciding that at
least to a certain degree valve is facilitating
this intentionally or not they seem smart the gambling commission knows
what's up yeah like intentionally or not it is happening that it's their platform
and much like you would have to take care of your
land they're going to have to take care of their platform yep and I mean it's
one of those things where there's the whole plausible deniability like oh gee
yeah I I created this infrastructure for
handling you know uh lottery tickets and I created these templates for lottery
tickets and I created all these really fun things for people to buy lottery
tickets about and I created a way that the money could change hands but like no
I mean all my customers that are coming to me and buying all these supplies well
I'm not responsible for what they're doing and yes that's an extreme example and that's not really fair and it's not
the same as what valve's doing but the reality of it is that gambling laws are
serious for a reason and gambling laws
especially as they pertain to miners are serious for reason
miners no offense to the miners who are
watching okay you want to mine coal all day that's cool okay your face is dirty
that's fine you know when you go have a shower that all comes off everyone's
feeling good you're looking good this not what I'm talking about at all yeah
but many of the miners that I have known and that I have met are stupid and they
are not ready to understand the risks
that they're taking with gambling and the impact that that can have on their
lives so so a big part of the problem here is that valve has rules against
stuff like Bots and its user agreement but it knowingly allows the Bots that
are handling all the gambling trading to continue that's a big part of the
problem they're they're being like yeah you shouldn't be able to use Bots except
those Bots that are trading things and indirectly make us lots of money yeah
those are going to be completely fine um and it like is completely knowledge
about all these things and is letting it happen which is part of the problem it
has been said if valve does not comply that they risk the seizure and
forfeiture of property used to conduct these illegal activities forfeiture of
its corporate charter as well as criminal charges so they just absolutely
dropped the book cool like stop this immediately basically oh okay
no looks like uh looks like looks like
all the people who hate on our audience were right our audience is entirely made
up of miners not all of them coal miners okay some of them gold miners okay and
all those gold miners they're they're canceling they're canceling all their
Prime subscrip used to be plumbers and
are now minors and are now minors yes interesting yes yeah very cool a lot of
them are carpenters now too oh yeah why
is that uh because we have DIY desk PC that we just released yeah many of our
viewers are also Carpenters that are much better than you I'm sure
well they're all better than me but right probably most of them aren't
better than my dad so he's the one who did it oh now there were some
questionable things that we did do for the sake of saving a few bucks and stuff
okay but like literally everyone that I know that makes things does that yes so
sometimes that's a reality yeah all right we don't all work in like Boutique
uh what what is it called the like super fancy ner uh word for handmade things
yeah Boutique I think no no no no no there ety
no Craftsman no uh it's like this
hipster word uh someone in chat is probably
saying it I feel like it starts with a B but I'm not sure tell you what I'll
monitor for that you talk about Hollow lens mcraft didn't know okay yeah
bespoke bespoke oh all right yeah see
hipster word starts with a B kind of like that I mean could we turn the
pretentious down to 11 well that's what I'm saying yeah yeah
yeah yeah anyways Hollow lens I'm going to do a little demonstration if you can
turn that screen so I can see it this will help me a lot yep yep yep I want to
show everyone something okay so this
thing right here this camera this is your eyes you're wearing a hollow lens
right now this is a it's obviously this isn't reality I don't think they can
hear you very well you better speak up can you talk to me okay this camera is
your eyes this is your VIs currently and you are now wearing a Hol lens this is
how this is going to work there is a video playing in the middle of the Hol
lens and you can see the edges of it because it has colors going all the way
to the end it does not have a transparent background in this video the
video is about oh this is going to be really hard to do the video is oh God
this is really hard to do uh is about that much of your
vision is that cool do you enjoy that I enjoyed it I
look like I enjoyed it is that a fantastic
experience this is a this is a question that I'm asking you was that was that
good did you did you like that much of like no of course they didn't they hated
everything about it yep they said it they said it was trash it sucked anyways
trash nope I was able to use hollow lens for like two and a half to three minutes
harambe in a weird demo in a side room
that we weren't allowed to record now
it's not not fair they have other much
cooler demos and you're able to spend much more time with it I talked to
multiple people including Austin Evans and seus who have tried it in the past
and done very cool demos seus said that playing Minecraft on it was probably the
best way to play Minecraft which is a pretty big endorsement uh he also tried
this really cool Halo demo where he was walking around and then he looked out
some Windows and ended up being like a hangar Bay cool demos cool stuff they had
monitors set up and it like put screen on the monitor uh they had like big
basically projector TV kind of deals on the walls really cool
setups I did not have a good experience it was legitimately pretty
terrible um there's one ring that wraps
around your head that supports the weight of the entire thing it does not
wrap above the top oh it only goes around and you have to like crank it
down so that it actually holds on right and then the lens itself is able to
Pivot on top top of that ring so there's like it punches into that ring and then
pivots on top you have to like clamp it onto your head not very comfortable um
the nose Bridge thing pretty much the best way to wear it as said by a
Microsoft employee is to make sure the nose Bridge thing doesn't touch your
nose so all of the weight is supported
by it strapping to your skull okay not
super great the headphone the lack of headphones and having speakers on it is
actually pretty cool they're directional speakers shoots sound IR ly into your
ears it's not super loud to everyone else in the room cool you can hear it
but it's not super loud it's comfortable because you don't have stuff in your ears then you can hear the people that
you can see which actually kind of helps with it a little bit right when the
actual screen area where it's playing something is on top of someone you can
just barely see them oh okay which is actually pretty cool oh okay because
it's properly obscuring things that are behind the screen uh I didn't get to do
the demo where they like show an untextured City just made out of W and
then it like textures it and has like things happening in the city and stuff
didn't get to do that didn't get to do like any of the cool demos but the main
thing that I got to do was see the hardcore limitations of the headset okay
well that's good that was uh that was time well spent them touring you and
showing you that I also saw a bunch of other stuff which is going to be super
cool I'm going to make videos about that but Hollow lens in its current form in
my opinion leaves me wanting
so the question from twitch chat is do
you have sand in your vagina yes
okay well that settles it then yeah speaking of sand in our vaginas sponsors
peripheral Vis if we were talking about that probably probably Squarespace you
could make a website about sand you could make a website about sand yes you
could you could make a website about how you like the hollow lens you could make
a website about why you don't like the hollow lens you could make a website
people like you could make a website that they hate but no matter what kind
of website you made it would look great because it would be using one of
squarespace's awesome templates that feature responsive design so they scale
to any platform that all feature Commerce so you could sell things people
like or you could sell things they hate through your website they've got their
cover pages feature their logo designer and now everyone can publish content
whether it's content people like or content people hate like the W Show on
in the Apple news format from their Squarespace blog module Squarespace
makes whatever the content You're Building available to anyone and makes
it you so you don't look like some like
you know Junior wood Chucks organization
that doesn't have like a dedicated it
guy as as long as you've got some cool pictures that show who you are and what
you're about you can build a Squarespace site it's easy and you can start a trial
with no credit card required in case you don't believe me CU I can see why you
wouldn't I don't sound very credible right now should you be interested you
should no
oh you were doing so good you're on such
a roll and I screwed it all up I tried to add a little bit I just broke it
squarespace.com slw and make sure you use offer code
when to get 10% off your first purchase I do want to jump back to the
previous topic real quick before we do the next advertisement thing uh really
we never do that all right I didn't have enough time properly cover the hollow
lens and eventually hopefully I will have enough time to properly cover the
hollow lens and then I will make a video about it really you interrupted my
sponsor reads for that yep you just
don't GF do you nope
okay Dollar Club if you're not a member
of Dollar Shave Club yet join today and you'll get your first month of razors
for free not this kind of razors we're
talking about face razors I mean you
don't have to use them on your face they could be armpit razors they could be
chest razors they could be back risers they could be buttock razors they could
be leg razors they could even be feet razors if you are a hobbit or you just
have hairy feet I have hairy feet I'm not ashamed of it but I don't shave my
feet because I'm not ashamed of it but you could shave your feet if you wanted
to do you shave your feet are you putting up your oh okay I put in my hand cuz I I agreed with you oh because you
agreed that you can shave your feet it's kind of gross but I just don't do it right yeah foot hair is just sort of
nasty just don't look like but that's why I wear socks yeah socks and sandals
why hobbit feet anyway once you try Dollar Shave
club. you will become a proud member like
millions of others they have millions of members that's pretty cool that's
incredible it is they deliver amazing razors directly to your door and it
costs less than getting off your butt and going out to buy it yourself
membership means you can afford to shave with a fresh blade anytime you want and
uh wow all of these talking points are pretty much the same thing you can
afford to shave first class shave you
could use the executive blade which makes the blade Glide gently for the
smoothest smoothest shave ever and they also have other products
including their Dr Carver shave butter their After Shave and their one wipe
Charlie's peppermint scented butt wipes for men so your butt could be clean of
hair and clean of poo yeah all with products made by Dollar Shave Club yeah
you could even put After Shave on it if you're into that sort of thing then it would smell really good then it would
smell really good well that like would the peppermint hope stack like Aura
stacked with the After
Shave how close do you have to get for the effects to to take
hold I don't know benchmark it I'm sure
people are upset about all of this all this butt talk but you know what I say
loosen up anyway head over to dollarshaveclub.com Linus and give them
a try for free and I'm
fired okay first topic after the sponsor
break is going to be um this is actually
in our rejected topics but I really really want to do it anyway because it's
funny the Microsoft Band 2 no longer being sold no Band 3 coming in 2016 it
was rejected in our doc reason given uh
no one cares yep that sounds about right there
actually was one person who cared good bites on the Forum Good Bites we love
you you care about everything Microsoft and we love you for that okay like I
said I was at Microsoft and there are legitimately a number of things that
they're doing that are cool and I think a lot of that has been inspired by the
uh new mentality that came along with their CEO and there are also things like
the band just move on okay and that's what
they're doing and that's what we're going to do so the original article here is from pc.com are you dropping this in
the twitch chat I can once I find it that's okay I got it I got it I got this
i got this boom let's go how do you like
that kbl Lake support is official ASUS releases ufi bu updates for their LGA
1151 boards which means we should probably get a request in for KB Lake
processors because I'm sure the engineering samples couldn't be that far
away if ASUS has already had them for long enough to build and validate bio
support for them yes uh so they have a table listing all models and ufi
versions let's go ahead and pull that up you guys can check that out Edge up.
ASUS.com I can't even find this where is this
article there we go so the basically all
the z170s and in fact there are 87 boards
that will have support H 110 B150 h170
q170 z170 and c232 will all support kbl CPUs wonderful
so if you were just thinking to yourself G I should buy processor I love I love
the processor I just bought except that I wish it performed a little better and
Ed a little less power things that you probably wouldn't notice if you had one
that was compatible with that board it depends it depends some people I I I
thought this was like a not a thing some people actually buy like halfway through
a generation and they'll buy like a base level core I3 with the intention of like
it's faster than their older system but they don't have all the money for like a
ball in core i7 yet so they actually buy themselves like 9 months to flip that
chip down the line because low-end chips don't lose value proba nearly the same
way that even if it loses so let's say $100 CPU loses 30% of its value you lost
30 bucks compared to a $300 CPU uses
loses 30% of its value now you lost 90 bucks um and then what they'll do is
they'll bias upgrade and they'll upgrade their CPU I that is a thing that actually makes sense so I was kind of
being factious there there are valid upgrade paths but then that would be a
entirely new like you were planning on buying an entirely new processor anyways
already yes so that still fits in the other category
yes okay so we've got benchmarks for the
7700k just how much a little bit faster will it be approximately this it's a
benchmark from September 29th and uh it
claims to be run on a z170 XP SLI it
claims to be a z77 uh z77 K z7 i77700k
i77700k Intel keep going man get it together here keep going man at 4.2 GHz
with four cores and eight threads and uh someone's going to like remix that into
a WP or something i77700 K I77 z77 i7
z77 i7700 770k okay so there's your
performances you can go look at them on browser. primat Labs.com
enjoy all right that should be an proper script of okay so there's your
performances
well if we did one minute uh one minute reviews yeah yeah
then it's like okay it fits in this motherboard okay it costs this much okay
there's the performance see you next time yeah oh man Capcom Street Fighter 5
installs a hidden rootkit on your
PC we are in the process of rolling back the security measures added to the PC
version of Street Fighter 5 after the roll back process to the PC version all
new content from the September update will still be available to players we
apologize for the inconvenience and we'll have an update on the time frame
for the PC rollback solution soon okay on the subject of crap ports
uh where is this Mafia this was originally posted by Steve Grabowski on
the Forum Grabowski the grabba oh my the
Bowski oh jeez I don't know if you want to be known as the grabba the
grabba depends what you're grabbing I don't know yeah you could be you could
be grabbing orphans out of burning buildings in a totally non-sexually
inappropriate way could be interpreted no you're not you're not taking
advantage of their situation you're just removing them from the
fire okay and they don't owe you anything that shouldn't
matter Mafia 3 okay runs set 30 FPS on
the PC but an after launch patch is in
the works oh my God okay now this is one of those things
where I can look at it and I can go okay so you're at least aware of the issue
which is better than like ignoring it I guess
yeah better than not even understanding
that 30 frames per second is dumb oh
okay to put in some context I recently made that video with the c922 you say
Conex maybe um so I I I plugged it in
last night before streaming and it was running at 30 FPS just talking to my BF
in jail it's it's getting
steamy don't look uh oh jeez I couldn't
figure out uh why it looked so bad I was
like I just made a video about this it
better not look this bad what's happening and then I figured out that it
was running at 30 FPS and my brain was expecting 60 FPS so I went in like
manually changed the number to 60 so it actually worked and it looked infinitely
better and I don't think I've actually felt that much of a change before except
for when I was all excited for my new 60fps thing and then I was like why do
this I didn't even immediately figure out that it was a frame rate issue I was just like it looks like poo and I don't
know why and then it fixed so they have a patch running at the studio that
includes 30 60 and unlimited frames per
second options in the video menu which again is ridiculous because they could
just have vsync and not vsync like every
other game in the last like what 20
years it's been a while like and I don't mean every other game I mean every other
proper game in the last 20 years wrecked
um it sucks too cuz I was kind of excited to play and now I'm probably
just going to wait until they update but be but like it's just frustrating
because it's not completely about this one thing that's missing that's garbage
it's about that being a strong
indication of a very shoddy last minute
PC port and if you remember my dx12 and Vulcan video that you probably should
have watched and if you didn't you should go back and watch it anyways cuz it's awesome there's a bit in there
about how directx12 and fulcon is going to be very developer heavy in terms of
things being good right um
so yeah this worries me a lot I brought
up like developers being kind of poo and I remember a lot of comments be like
they get too much hate they're going to do fine it's going to be awesome there
was a few of those comments no you're wrong stuff like this is going to
continue to happen and it's going to bleed into more things because there
will be more availability for ignorance and failure with DirectX 12 and
Vulcan so I have an impromptu news
topic um YouTube appar
apparently has like fine singles in your area ads now I
don't know there was a much racer one before I reloaded the
page nope now it's an ad for keep going
that yeah let's just keep going because that's an ad for what's also an add in the
video no no and that's also in French
yeah that's not bizarre I'm not even using a VPN
the mini I don't think I don't think Google knows what I care about no
probably not to be perfectly honest probably because you look at so many
different things it's not doing it come
on show the internet the racy ad Google
yeah it knows it's being watched now it's like oh dang see wow right that's
brutal what is this can you read the name too yeah look at this holy what the
hell like what is this ad for I mean I'm
interested but I mean who wouldn't be
that's that's like I've never seen an ad like that's that's like shoty website
level stuff yeah that's like some some sketchy stuff right there yeah crazy hey
sorry I was only bringing this up cuz I was going to bring up your your dx12 and
Vulcan video and I got distracted yeah no it's fine um I I had people complaining to me
on Twitter about that video cuz they're like I don't care it's too
technical then I had to like sit down for a second and be like
oh
okay I spent as much time as I could and
Ed spent a lot of time making like cool graphics and breaking it down did your
soul die a little it did okay that was painful all right Oculus Rift has a new
minimum spec this is posted on the Forum by Mr troll basically what they're
saying is now you can have a 499
entrylevel PC that can run VR PC VR is
more affordable than ever this is just nonsense all this means is that they're
not selling enough headsets right now and their original specs were stupid
because most of the games in fact every
game I've tried does not push your
graphics card that hard because like like like uh um hollow
point there's a reason that dudes yeah I
know every VR game uh there's a reason that the dudes walking towards you are
like static objects that like aren't
made of a lot of polygons and are barely animated unless they're like really
close to you and the room is just like like flat walls and like a pretty small
room like they're trying to avoid
stratification like they pretty much want anyone with a gaming rig and a VR
headset to be able to play the game so basically they're just coming down and
they're saying like Okay we better get realistic about this because we're
scaring people off with our 600 $700
piece of Hardware peripheral for I mean
more if you had the touch controllers y 200 bucks and telling them that they
also need a thousand computer so I guess we better we better just you know make
Intel mad and not say that everyone needs an i5 or an i7 for gaming because
an i36100 like let's look up what is an i36100 I'll do that another thing that
sucks about videos going on vessel and being delayed before going on vessel is
my what is wrong with VR thing uh was
written before that keynote so there you
go so the i7 6100 or i36100 runs at 3.7 GHz with two
cores and four threads I can tell you
right now that every VR game will run
just fine on that because they do not
have a ton of AI or some of the other things that are very very demanding on
the CPU not every VR application no but
the every game I've played then every game that I have played yeah not every
VR application I know of one right now
that is like a huge problem to run on like
extreme Edition and multiple Titan
XPS so basically they're saying now anything from an NVIDIA 960 or greater
is is considered VR ready and this is a reduction from the previous GTX
970 or AMD 290 or greater or equivalent
I would be interested if someone has a rig that is like and is in the chat
right now that is exactly on that spec line um like an i36100 and whatever if
you have access to a rift whether you
own it or you know someone who owns it try it out on your rig let me know
because there's some funky stuff that happens in the background with VR where
quality things are Dynamic so you could have Dynamic quality um and your your
result for the dynamic quality could
be not great and I'm a little bit worried that it might fall below 90 so
try that report back hit me up on Twitter this was posted by delic
delicious I guess Windows 10 now
actually whatever Windows 10 now actually losing market share the
original article is from betan news.com according to figures from net
market share Windows 10 went from 22.99% globally to 22.5 three these
figures measure usage so only pces that
are actually being used rather than just like PCS with it installed count towards
it uh the decrease is still surprising as Windows 8 and 8 point whatever only
saw a decline after multiple months of diminishing growth Windows 7 actually
grew last month by 1% from 47.25 to 48.2
S I'm not even that surprised and a lot of it has to do with why my test next
door just might actually be impossible um so we've talked about the
browser test that I've been trying to run for a little while um I was
streaming last night just to not to bring that up again um and CPU started
throttling like crazy I was playing
something that I had done in that exact same scenario with the exact same software running on my computer doing
the exact same things literally the day before and everything was fine so I was
trying to figure out why that was happening there was certain Windows
services that are like moderately core
services like one of them had to do with audio and I have audio enhancements
disabled so it's not that thing I've already dealt with that Major
Performance problem one of them was some I don't even remember what the other one
was the audio thing I killed both of those instead of being CPU pinned and
like resulting in a I think it was like 16 FPS on the final stream my computer
was running fine but the stream out to everyone else was at like 16
FPS uh I went down to 60% CPU
utilization from being completely peaked just from killing two Windows
things that did not need to run at that point in time
interesting Windows is this Windows 10 is this crazy Dynamic performance hog
that will just every once in a while just absolutely spike your CPU as hard
as it can right and I just like I can't understand how it doesn't realize that
your CPU is now at 100% and doesn't pull back because it's an automated
background process it should not crush your computer
yeah absolutely garbage so like I I actually know a fair amount of streamers
that are going back to or are staying on Windows 7 because there's just too many
Dynamic problems speaking of
problems dang it well there you go
blizzard has a problem with something that was allegedly said
during an interview with their game director Tom Chilton to be fair I do
believe this is the same person who said uh you think you do but you don't in
terms of Warcraft classic so this guy's
a little uh he runs his mouth he's a quotable
person who runs his mouth sometimes okay so polish magazine pixel claims that Tom
Chilton of Blizzard told them that the current subscriber count is around 10.1
million Wow's Peak was at around 12 million players and at the end of 2015
it was at 5 a half million at which point blizzard stopped publicly
reporting subscriber numbers they have since issued a statement denying that
Tom Chilton provided the 10.1 million subscriber number to the magazine this
was a misquote or some kind of misunderstanding on the part of the
journalist our policy for almost a year now is that we do not talk about
subscriber numbers and Tom did not do that with this publication oh
wow what yeah they're going straight after the journalist they're just
blaming them holy crap yeah okay unless H that journalist is
getting a lot of views from this yeah so there's that I would be
very surprised if it's back up at 10 million my reasoning for this I was
talking to Nick about this earlier like who do you know who's playing yeah for
one um actually okay I do know a couple
people but they were playing before anyways and we're going to play this
anyways um every time that a new expansion comes out there's a spike
that's just going to happen it's not very surprising um but the last time wow
was running at 10 million subscribers it was extremely commonly talked about
really big deal do you remember those days everyone was talking about wow yep
wasn't that when like the South Park episode came out about wow yeah that was
long time ago like 10 million subscribers was a huge deal for world
the warcraft to be pulling um if they're doing that again awkwardly
silent don't know what's going on not a
ton of talk about it all right things that we do want to talk about though
this is pretty interesting um Spotify
was caught serving malware infested ads to its users which actually ties in
pretty well to my uh sketchy YouTube ad topic that I came up with yeah it does
spontaneously this was posted by hey yo on the Forum and the original article
here is from 9 to 5 Mac now they claim to have successfully identified and
eliminated the source of the problem but they should should have at their scale I
kind of think they should have identified that before it happened they should probably have a
vetting process with that yes they
should have a vetting process uh this was originally Rec uh reported to be
occurring on Windows 10 but the issue persists in other operating systems
including Ubuntu and macOS uh Spotify
has said they are currently looking into the issue and they dealt with a similar
thing back in 2011 uh small number of users have
experienced problem with a questionable website popups in their default browsers
as a result of an isolated issue with an ad on our free tier we have now
identified the source of the problem and encourage all of our users to pay for their freaking music no I'm just kidding
that's not the quote uh we have now identified the source of the problem and
have it shut down we will continue to monitor the situation imer or imager or
whoever you want to say that has imer I
think so imer I think so I've I've always said imager but that's definitely
not it I think it's imer yeah probably imer um has had
kind of sketchy ad problems recently as
well as along with along with autop playing audio enabled videos which is
like the reason why people install ad block so if you could stop that'd be
pretty cool be great video
cards.com the first pictures of the yet unannounced GTX 108 10 1050 TI have
appeared online cool it is a confirmed quote
unquote I mean that is uh okay sure to
feature the GP 107 GPU so this is what
would have years ago been
like not a GTX card you posted it right
and not a t no I didn't actually thank you not a TI this would have been like a
like a uh like an 8400 like GS or whatever actually I
don't know if it's quite that small in terms of die size but the whole thing
NVIDIA's done where they've taken their second their second chip and they've
positioned that as their top chip with Titan in like sort of like this weird
Stratosphere sort of area and then their second chip and position it as their
third and their third and position it as their second wait fourth and whatever
the point is that we're getting smaller
chips positioned as though they are like more expensive Parts when normally we'd
have gotten more silicone for our silicone silicon for our dollar I'm
sorry I'm just I'm thinking of that YouTube ad how much how much silicone
will I get for my dollar here oh god um
I can't even believe that to be completely honest like yeah that's
bizarre man anyway the sticker placed on
the other side of the PCB yeah um
confirmed that the 1050 TI will feature 4 gigs of gddr5 memory and they figure
it should take place in about 2 weeks so oh okay well I had not heard anything
about that so that's good I guess I mean looking at
how Titan XP happened yeah maybe
surprise me anymore at this point but I six
pin six pin power wow that is an empty
PCB I was just going to say that I when I first looked I thought it was
unfinished but it I don't think so anymore wow that is a that is one naked
naked card very bare you know how mad m
or I almost just said Microsoft uh NVIDIA is going to be they were very
pissed last time there was uh the picture releases of was it the shroud of
something oh I don't remember I think it was the the first pictures of the Shroud
that showed the new angular design uhhuh oh they were mad and like people were
fired that worked at the factory and all this kind of stuff wow and there's
pictures of this one out too this is worse I mean PC the chip like oh man
wrecked son yeah people are getting speaking of people getting fired if your
job this was posted by m yuraki on the
Forum if your job was to uh take money
or even accept free or discounted
products and review them on Amazon that
is no longer a job Amazon is Banning reviews based on free or discounted
products with the exception of books and
reviews from the Amazon Vine Program which Amazon conveniently made makes
money on by the way you have to pay Amazon to submit your product for Vine
in addition to providing the free product so okay let's not pretend this
is all about the Integrity of reviews on amazon.com although I do believe that it
is a significant I think I don't think it's going to help at all there's
there's far too many completely fake reviews that aren't claiming that they
got the product for free that it's just not going to matter let's see let's see
sure so here we go Amazon had always I met okay
I met that dude at CES who who like does that you remember
we talked about that I don't remember I like met a guy at CPS at CPS at CES who
will like meet with people and then they'll be like yeah we want Amazon
reviews and he'll be like I can get you a 50 and he like serves out large
numbers of Amazon reviews I was like
wow you're dick and he's like yep like
one of those guys that doesn't care and makes cash off of it huh yeah cool like
I don't think it's going to change anything if that guy is still around I
don't think shit's changing so Amazon has always allowed businesses to offer
products or discounts on products to customers in exchange for a review on
their site provided that this affiliation was disclosed in the text a
recent study of over 7 million reviews by review meta found that incentivized
reviews those with some kind of disclaimer text were rated 38 Stars
higher than non-incentivized reviews overall and while that seems like a
small change that doesn't seem small at all to me that could potentially boost a
product from the 54th percentile to the 94th percentile and when we talk
percentile we talk about uh where it would fall in terms of how close to the
top of the pile it would be if you would sort by review scores um so this could
in some cases bring a product from average to top rated the study also
found that incentivized reviewers were 12 times less likely to provide a onear
rating and nearly four times less likely to leave a critical
review so there you have it Amazon
reviews continue to be a pretty good source for for me to get information on
stuff that I'm buying um or have been sorry and I guess they will continue to
be so that's
cool um sharp I guess we're getting kind of getting into like some rapid fire
stuff right close to the end of the uh
close to the end of the video here the video the stream sorry I'm tired it's
kind of been a long week I definitely won't be here next week by the way I
keep saying that but I definitely won't be here next week um if my wife goes any
further past the due date than probably Monday then it's uh it's probably going
to be medicinal like IV inducing the
body to eject the small creature inside
um so sharp showed off an EXO 27 in 8k
120 HZ
display yeah so uh that would be pretty
much the be all and end all of what I would be interested in owning in fact I
don't even know if I need 8K at that point 4K 120 HZ we're getting pretty
close maybe like 4K 240 HZ anyway okay
well I Can Dream um check this out so I've asked this in the past in fact I
have a video that's on vessel coming to YouTube soon where I talk about this
directly but you know how display manufacturers are fighting so hard to be
like the thinnest when we don't look at them from that angle and i' I've ask
myself what if they understood that I
don't care what kind of a display could
they build if it was thick apparently
this because look at this thing it's ridiculous it's like 5 Ines thick four
at least but it's badass and I would
much rather own that than some like
crazy like sexy super slim thing that is
not as cool that's 326 pixels per inch so you could get as close as you would
to your phone and you would not be able to see a pixel um at that kind of uh I
think it was running off something like let's see blah blah blah blah blah from
the article could have been running off as many as 16 HDMI cables because of the
bandwidth required to run 8K at that
refresh rate love it there is no known
release date or price as this is purely a prototype and if that kind of a thing
were available I I don't even know what you would do with it
like it would just be bragging rights and I would brag about it because I
would think that is very cool posted by Chief yum yum on the
Forum Nike's self-lacing sneakers
finally go on sale November 28th so cool
inspired by Back to the
Future yes my friends Michael J fox has
lived to see crap that was pure science fiction
turn into reality I mean that's happened many times I mean yes that's actually
how like a lot of Technologies get
realized anyways these are super cool I hope I hope I hope they keep the light
cuz I like that cuz I'm still 15
you have to charge them so that's a thing that's a little weird so here's a
video for wireless charging I don't know
this is a really long video I is a very long don't want to sit through this
whole video please just show me the self-lacing this holy crap this is a
long video oh wow is it like the punch
line at the
end wait I didn't even see it
happen oh oh okay that's kind of C did it go
really slowly or I don't know I'm not that impressed okay all right speaking
of things that uh might be impressive but might not be coaxial gamer posted
this on the Forum the original article from kit guru.net AMD reportedly
launching Zen and x370 motherboards at
CES I hope it's impressive so they're going to be ramping up clearance of
their current batch of CPUs like the fx8350 and FX 6350 and an effort to make
room for Zen's arrival in general January this is according to sources
speaking with Digi times who also claim that the last generation of CPUs will
see Heavy price Cuts in the last few months of 2016 I wonder when AMD will
like figure out what all the other like super big Tech guys are doing and not
launch things at CES
anymore but yeah I wasn't really listening I was reading something on my
screen so on that note thank you for your contribution to our last topic

neural could sort of make sense no it's
two neurons that go to your
ear I'm trying to help thank you um but
