1
00:00:02,679 --> 00:00:12,519
welcome to the WAN Show guys the show where I and my co-host uh Luke slick

2
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:16,000
lafrenier talk to you about the latest in technology and gaming and all that

3
00:00:14,559 --> 00:00:20,920
good stuff you know what's funny is I do most of the talking on this show but it

4
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:22,600
still feels really weird to have this

5
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:26,439
thing next to me I was actually really hoping that Luke would be able to join

6
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:31,240
me on the show this week but that is unfortunately not possible because I

7
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:36,800
haven't heard from him he landed in Boston like uh yesterday early morning I

8
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:42,280
think or the night before I don't even know but he flew out Thursday very early

9
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:46,840
morning so must have landed in Boston Thursday night and other than getting a

10
00:00:44,879 --> 00:00:53,120
call from him that you know hey we landed safely um yo did you ever arrange

11
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:56,800
a shuttle to which I said no um I haven't actually heard from either him

12
00:00:55,079 --> 00:01:00,640
or Brandon so they're going to be there doing all of our pack East coverage

13
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:05,239
which you guys can look for to finding on the channel over the next few days

14
00:01:02,559 --> 00:01:09,360
here um they're going to have a lot of emphasis on the Indie Mega Booth because

15
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:13,040
that's something that Luke is super passionate about but they are going to

16
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:16,960
make the rounds to some of your favorite Hardware vendors like Cooler Master as

17
00:01:15,479 --> 00:01:22,640
well as I think they're going to swing by Kingston and there's at least a

18
00:01:20,479 --> 00:01:26,320
couple other ones oh yeah Intel for sure Intel is powering our trip to the show

19
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:31,640
which I've mentioned on the last few van shows so between Intel and Corsair that

20
00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:35,320
is the entire reason that Luke and Brandon were able to go I'm going to try

21
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:41,119
and do a little bit more audience interaction today just because I don't

22
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:44,840
have I mean you know this guy is like

23
00:01:41,119 --> 00:01:46,719
you know I like interacting with uh no

24
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:51,399
no not interacting like that I love I love interacting with my dummy right

25
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:53,000
here but uh not having Luke here is uh

26
00:01:51,399 --> 00:02:00,920
just a little bit unfortunate people are asking me to go get Taran I would love

27
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:03,719
to unfortunately because um my my human

28
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:10,399
physiology requires me to sleep once in a while I wasn't able to get this Friday

29
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:14,280
so today's fastest possible scripted yet

30
00:02:10,399 --> 00:02:16,480
um to film it Thursday evening before I

31
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:22,200
went home so I had to film it when I got back from NC today which means that tan

32
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:28,800
Taran is actually editing right now so Luke and Brandon are in Boston and uh

33
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:34,120
edel is still at NC and then Taran is the only one who's here with me all

34
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:38,519
right so let's uh let's go through some of the Fantastic topics that we've got

35
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:46,599
today before we do our intro here so let me see Will I Am says he developed a

36
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:50,000
smartwatch I personally would absolutely

37
00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:51,800
love to check it out um it's going to be

38
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,159
coming in a little while he funded it used his own money to develop it so more

39
00:02:53,360 --> 00:03:00,120
on that a little bit later the word on the street is also that Vasa has

40
00:02:57,319 --> 00:03:03,200
accepted free sync as part of the upcoming extension to DisplayPort

41
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:08,680
called 1.2a which could be very very good news

42
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:13,959
for gamers Google is taking another crack at the living room with Android TV

43
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:20,840
more on that later and the black magic Ursa okay maybe you guys don't maybe you

44
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:26,480
don't think you care about camera technology but ridle me this have you

45
00:03:23,519 --> 00:03:31,319
noticed the dramatic change in the quality of our videos over the last year

46
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:37,439
that is thanks to camera technology the reason wow looks so crisp compared to a

47
00:03:34,599 --> 00:03:41,560
lot of other streams is the Blackmagic camera that we use to power it that's

48
00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:45,480
their first camera the Blackmagic Cinema Camera it's a 2 and 1 12K camera now

49
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:49,400
this one okay I'll tell you more about it later but anyway trust me it's like

50
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:54,079
really freaking cool it's like this upgradable camera and then uh oh this

51
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:59,120
one's really cool as well so there's a new battery technology potentially

52
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:02,920
coming seems to the the researchers seem to be very confident about it that could

53
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:08,280
allow your phone to be recharged in under 25 seconds and I don't know where

54
00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:14,599
I got the number 25 from I'm sorry under 30 seconds the demo was 26 seconds so 25

55
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:19,160
I'm just there's a new technology that could allow your car to go from zero to

56
00:04:16,919 --> 00:04:22,800
500 Miles hour in 3 seconds I'm just making stuff up at this point but I'll

57
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:26,040
tell you guys more about that later on in the show as

58
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:32,919
well why is there no sound I'll just make the

59
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:51,400
sound I'm gonna kill edel because he forgot to put the music

60
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:57,880
in ah yes our sponsors of the show today are a Seuss R OG notebooks and

61
00:04:55,199 --> 00:05:02,440
dollarshaveclub.com shave time shave money big thanks to both of those

62
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:07,560
sponsors who we will tell you more about later for making this week's episode of

63
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:11,360
The W show possible or at least helping us actually make a living while we do it

64
00:05:09,479 --> 00:05:16,199
I mean it would be possible to do anything I mean you could make uh a

65
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:19,160
battery that recharges in 25 seconds or a car that goes from Zer to 500 no okay

66
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:24,440
I'm just going to stop with that now it's not actually funny for me to make up things make up things and present

67
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:30,600
them as news lightest Media Group that should be our tagline all right so will

68
00:05:28,039 --> 00:05:34,840
I am claims to have developed a smartwatch the article that we're going

69
00:05:32,319 --> 00:05:39,560
to be checking out here is from n Gadget but this was posted on the Forum by kuza

70
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:44,080
thank you very very much we really do appreciate when people take the time

71
00:05:41,479 --> 00:05:48,639
make up things and present them as news for crying out loud stop that why you do

72
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:53,080
that why you do that twitch why you make that the automatic automatic default

73
00:05:50,919 --> 00:05:56,600
setting there all right so we appreciate when people post in the new section of

74
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:59,919
Linus Tech tips.com because we love how active The Forum is and how easy it is

75
00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:06,240
to find all the latest cool Cool Tech news there all right so the article from

76
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:08,400
a gadget will I am there he is like he's

77
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:14,520
actually wearing it this isn't like this isn't like Kanye coming up with hey I

78
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:18,440
invented the white T-shirt and okay actually it is kind of it's kind of the

79
00:06:17,039 --> 00:06:22,960
same or at least it's not different in the way that I was presenting it I was going to say you know it's not like

80
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:27,599
Kanye claiming to invent the white T-shirt but actually he didn't invent a

81
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:30,479
t-shirt but he I mean he he did I guess he he did create this white t-shirt that

82
00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:37,000
you could buy and spend a lot of money on but this isn't like just some random

83
00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:39,720
claim he's actually wearing the thing

84
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:44,680
and talking about it so he he started the company himself okay funded it used

85
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:49,759
his own money to develop it it can apparently stream stored music via

86
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:57,280
Bluetooth and make calls and access Twitter Facebook and Instagram without

87
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,280
having to connect to a

88
00:06:57,479 --> 00:07:04,720
smartphone I'm really interested to see how this works a lot of this

89
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:10,199
stuff does potentially make sense being able to stream music via Bluetooth so if

90
00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:11,800
it was like a like a Bluetooth player

91
00:07:10,199 --> 00:07:16,720
that you could then use like your your jbirds or something like that to to play

92
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:20,800
music over then okay but if you're going to be able to make calls on it without

93
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:25,120
having to connect to a smartphone hey uh maybe there's a reason that Intel named

94
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:32,400
will I IM it's director of creative Innovation back in January 2011 so you

95
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:34,280
know he's it it's not like it's not like

96
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:39,440
he's just so far out there in imagination land that comp serious

97
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:41,440
companies like Intel are ignoring him so

98
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:49,199
it's rumored to be coming sometime in the next sort of little while and I will

99
00:07:46,759 --> 00:07:57,599
tell you what if you guys want to see it I will review this so apparently there's

100
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:59,639
a spider behind you okay Aldi if we have

101
00:07:57,599 --> 00:08:05,800
any mods that's a Perma ban see you later all right actually maybe I can

102
00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:09,479
just do that Elie you're gone you're

103
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:12,879
gone man Ben Perma baned never going to

104
00:08:09,479 --> 00:08:14,960
unban you there you go yeah woo all

105
00:08:12,879 --> 00:08:21,440
right so let's move on to our next topic here and that is this is oh this is such

106
00:08:17,879 --> 00:08:22,599
good news all right so um I was origin I

107
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:28,879
originally had this brought to my attention from by an article on PC per

108
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:33,760
so my my bud Ryan shrout's website that I guess he does Tech stuff or something

109
00:08:31,479 --> 00:08:41,680
I think he makes videos too anyway um Vasa May so this is allegedly may have

110
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:44,680
accepted AMD's free sync this is so cool

111
00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:46,519
so I made an awful lot of noise about

112
00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:52,160
NVIDIA's gsync back when they first showed it off since then my enthusiasm

113
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:56,040
has naturally somewhat dwindled to the point where it's like are we ever going

114
00:08:54,160 --> 00:09:01,600
to actually get to use this thing because it's a great technology what

115
00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:03,760
gsync basically does does is instead of

116
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:08,880
refreshing your screen at a fixed interval okay and this is particularly

117
00:09:06,079 --> 00:09:13,680
important when gaming instead it waits for your GPU to render a frame and then

118
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:18,760
refreshes whenever it's ready and I've had people message me and say oh well

119
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:24,160
that'll be laggier no actually it'll be less laggy because the problem with this

120
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:29,640
this constant refreshing is either you're gonna slow down your your GPU

121
00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:34,880
either you're going to have to kind of sit around and and wait for things and

122
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:39,480
then have them be displayed or you are going to have to see partial frames one

123
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:43,600
on top of the other and you're going to get tearing what g-sync does is it makes

124
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:47,640
sure that the frames are delivered as quickly as possible once they're ready

125
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:52,720
and that you only get one frame at a time rather than like you know the top

126
00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:56,560
of L's body here and the bottom like over here and you're just like okay so I

127
00:09:54,959 --> 00:10:00,839
could enjoy the bottom or the top separately but not the whole package

128
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:06,360
right so not that people play games just to you know scantily clad female lead

129
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:08,720
character shame on you anyway

130
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:16,079
um I forget what I was talking about now right so AMD came along and at CES they

131
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:22,120
showed off what they were cheekily calling free sync now free sync was

132
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:27,120
basically exactly the same thing and that was the ability for the display to

133
00:10:24,399 --> 00:10:30,600
only refresh when the GPU was ready or when something on the screen changed

134
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:36,680
because free prync was using something that was developed for power saving in

135
00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:39,279
laptops so NVIDIA's response at the time

136
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:44,000
was well freesync there's the the scalers that are being used for this a

137
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:49,079
they're only in notebooks and B they're not designed for the type of use case

138
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:53,399
that would have it being used constantly I mean with gsync we developed this

139
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:59,000
robust piece of Hardware that's really future proof and really designed for

140
00:10:55,680 --> 00:11:00,519
that kind of a workload well free sync

141
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:08,480
yes was a bit of a Frankenstein experiment at the time and I see NVIDIA's point but if it becomes part of

142
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:10,959
the DisplayPort 1.2a standard which

143
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:17,639
allegedly it will we could all of a sudden see basically every display have

144
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:22,639
this GPU triggered refreshing enabled on

145
00:11:17,639 --> 00:11:26,120
it holy crap DisplayPort you just won

146
00:11:22,639 --> 00:11:30,600
like you just one not only are you ahead

147
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:32,440
of HDMI because HDMI 2.0 is still not

148
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:35,720
existent you can't actually buy anything with it and DisplayPort 1.2 has been

149
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:41,920
available forever and already supports 4K at 60 HZ now you are going to be in

150
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:49,040
every gaming machine anywhere and rightly so like I

151
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:53,880
it's just such a shame that the Xbox and Playstation 4 couldn't have something

152
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:57,440
like this and I'm not even I'm not even poking fun at the console Gamers right

153
00:11:55,639 --> 00:12:01,680
now I'm just legitimately I'm legitimately sad for them because

154
00:11:59,839 --> 00:12:05,839
I'm sad for the entire industry because as long as you have to keep trying to

155
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,839
design games to run at like a fixed frame rate which you have to because

156
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:13,519
frame rate fluctuations will cause either leg or tearing on consoles where

157
00:12:11,079 --> 00:12:17,440
we're stuck with these constant um where these constant refresh rate monitors so

158
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:23,320
as long as the games industry has to account for that we can't see them move

159
00:12:20,079 --> 00:12:25,800
forward and push for a little bit more

160
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:29,800
you know visual quality and so what if it dips down to 48 frames per second or

161
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:34,279
53 frames per second cuz it still look really good and really smooth cuz that

162
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:42,399
is something that g-sync and by extension I suppose free sync will do

163
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:47,279
very very well so fantastic news right

164
00:12:42,399 --> 00:12:50,360
there next up is Android TV so The Verge

165
00:12:47,279 --> 00:12:52,680
got an exclusive scoop here where they

166
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:57,240
are showing off what appears to be the interface of Android TV and what I

167
00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:03,560
thought was one of the most interesting things about this article

168
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:06,760
was how little information it actually

169
00:13:03,560 --> 00:13:09,320
seemed to contain so we've got quotes

170
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:15,920
from Google saying things like uh here let me just track this

171
00:13:11,199 --> 00:13:19,839
down Android TV is an entertainment

172
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:22,320
interface not a Computing platform it's

173
00:13:19,839 --> 00:13:29,839
all about finding and enjoying content with the least amount of

174
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:29,839
friction what does that mean

175
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:37,600
I mean we saw Google TV in the past I mean that was a that was a total

176
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:41,160
disaster um just because I mean I think they made claims this is in The Verge

177
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:46,000
article as well so they made claims like the majority of TVs in 2012 would ship

178
00:13:43,639 --> 00:13:49,800
with Google TV but what was the difference like I

179
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:57,120
understand some of the things they're saying here so they want the interface to be cinematic fun fluid and fast and

180
00:13:54,880 --> 00:14:02,399
they want no no no more than I think they're saying three clicks in order to

181
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:07,480
go from turning it on to actually watching content which I think is really

182
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:09,800
cool but beyond that what is the actual

183
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:14,759
difference between a set toop box that plugs into your TV that is an

184
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:19,639
entertainment interface and a set toop box that plugs into your TV that is a

185
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:22,519
Computing platform if anything I would say if you're going to call something an

186
00:14:20,959 --> 00:14:26,959
entertainment interface it would be something more like chomecast where

187
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:30,320
you'll have specific apps developed for it but really it's more about the

188
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:35,519
experience and not about the chomecast actually being a Computing platform a

189
00:14:33,079 --> 00:14:41,360
powerful piece of hardware and right now it's not clear how Android TV is going

190
00:14:38,399 --> 00:14:45,199
to slot into the whole ecosystem or how chomecast is going to slot into the

191
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:51,279
whole ecosystem but what we do know for now is that chomecast will continue to

192
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:55,720
exist so screenshots are now showing Google's own apps like Play Movies and

193
00:14:53,120 --> 00:15:02,920
YouTube and hangouts but there are also third party apps being shown like Vivo

194
00:14:57,519 --> 00:15:05,079
Netflix Hulu Pandora and games so to me

195
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:10,720
on the surface anyway what this looks like is just developers having to make

196
00:15:08,759 --> 00:15:15,000
multiple different interfaces for different Google products because there

197
00:15:12,199 --> 00:15:20,199
are plenty of set toop boxes um Amazon's recent Fire TV that use Android although

198
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:23,600
Amazon is a bad example I guess because it doesn't run stock Android by any

199
00:15:21,759 --> 00:15:27,399
stretch but there are Android-based players from even small manufacturers

200
00:15:25,639 --> 00:15:30,800
like posos so you're GNA have to have an interface for Android that hopefully

201
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:34,519
looks somewhat good on a TV you're going to have to have an interface for chomecast that looks somewhat good on a

202
00:15:33,199 --> 00:15:40,440
TV you're GNA have to design an interface for Android TV that looks good

203
00:15:37,079 --> 00:15:42,600
on a TV and it just seems like an awful

204
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:47,920
lot of hassle but maybe they have a better plan

205
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:52,040
this time and maybe uh all that I'm saying right now is going to have

206
00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:54,680
nothing to do with anything I see a lot of people complaining about mods in the

207
00:15:53,399 --> 00:15:59,199
twitch chat sorry there's not a whole lot I can do about it right now but we

208
00:15:56,399 --> 00:16:02,959
do have plans to work out a different system that's a little bit easier for us

209
00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:07,839
to moderate so stay tuned for that all right guys

210
00:16:05,079 --> 00:16:13,759
this this is something that I'm getting pretty tired of this next topic here now

211
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:17,120
NVIDIA released a new driver and they

212
00:16:13,759 --> 00:16:18,360
came out with all kinds of claims with

213
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:23,639
respect to Performance so they're basically saying look we're going to

214
00:16:20,399 --> 00:16:26,399
have directx12 on all of our gpus that

215
00:16:23,639 --> 00:16:31,680
supported directx11 AMD and we're going to release a directx11 driver that

216
00:16:29,199 --> 00:16:36,240
Stomps all over mantle anyway so here check this out so screen sharing here

217
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:39,920
this was posted originally on the Forum by actually a couple of different folks

218
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:46,560
I'll credit them later but the 33750 beta driver was claiming that it

219
00:16:43,199 --> 00:16:50,000
would deliver up to 64% faster single

220
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:53,560
GPU performance and up to 71% faster SLI

221
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:57,519
performance just through optimizing the

222
00:16:53,560 --> 00:17:01,360
directx11 driver that's available now

223
00:16:57,519 --> 00:17:03,680
now I have heard members of the press

224
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:09,919
muttering under their breath talking to each other not going to name any names

225
00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:12,520
about every time AMD or NVIDIA releases

226
00:17:09,919 --> 00:17:18,319
a Big Driver update that claims to completely turn the world Inside Out by

227
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:23,799
delivering amazing new performance to the existing gpus that they produce and

228
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:29,320
the comments go a little something like this maybe maybe they'll actually have

229
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:33,840
uh changed something a lot this time but uh I doubt it and I even heard one of

230
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:38,480
them talking directly to either AMD or NVIDIA not going to name any names here

231
00:17:35,679 --> 00:17:42,039
saying look if I spend the time to Benchmark this thing am I actually going

232
00:17:40,360 --> 00:17:47,919
to find this number you're claiming or is it just a waste of my time again so

233
00:17:45,679 --> 00:17:51,960
the press in general is a little bit sick of the whole claims that don't

234
00:17:50,039 --> 00:17:57,240
really seem to add up thing and unfortunately it looks like this is

235
00:17:55,520 --> 00:18:01,640
maybe more of the okay there are improvements but there might be a little

236
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:05,520
bit more of the same going on here so we referenced articles from two of my

237
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:08,679
favorite sites we actually didn't have the time just didn't have the bandwidth

238
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:12,400
to run the benchmarks ourselves but these are both very trustworthy sources

239
00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:18,440
trust me that they're good for it I guess so Aon and PC Pur so they both did

240
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:24,360
pretty darn good articles on the new NVIDIA driver and the conclusions from

241
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:29,760
both of them basically amounted to this um a Onex test indicated about a 10%

242
00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:35,120
Improvement in performance in BioShock Infinite and Metro last Light SLI

243
00:18:32,159 --> 00:18:43,280
performance increased 10% for Grid 2 and 76% for Total War Rome 2

244
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:45,000
although Total War Rome 2 you know was

245
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:49,720
yeah pretty far back in terms of optimization so anyway a 76% that means

246
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:54,640
they did achieve it so 76% performance Improvement in in a particular game is

247
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:59,960
good um NVIDIA boasts huge performance gains in older games so you know Call of

248
00:18:57,159 --> 00:19:07,880
Duty Black Ops is getting 20% I guess and you know um SLI has seen slight

249
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:11,760
performance increases and NVIDIA has been working on you know some mantal

250
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:15,799
optimized games and all this kind of stuff but the the basic conclusion was

251
00:19:13,919 --> 00:19:20,280
that performance was only really increased in some pretty specific games

252
00:19:17,919 --> 00:19:26,240
and for the most part the sensationalist headline performance improvements were

253
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,480
pretty difficult to find um and I guess

254
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:33,480
for me this it turns into a bit of a can I

255
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:35,840
trust you issue like I don't mind when

256
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:39,600
NVIDIA provides us with reference benchmarks when they release a new GPU

257
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:43,640
in general they've done a pretty good job of it where they say okay if you

258
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:46,520
take our card and and this AMD card and you run them side by side here's about

259
00:19:45,159 --> 00:19:53,919
the performance Improvement you can expect we're still going to run our own benchmarks anyway we're not just going

260
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:55,320
to take that at face value but it's nice

261
00:19:53,919 --> 00:19:59,280
when they at least give us a reference so that when we run something and it's

262
00:19:56,919 --> 00:20:05,400
like totally not the same we can go back and go oh crap did we screw something up

263
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:07,720
this is it just seems like a headline

264
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:12,440
grab and I and I find it frustrating because I had another similar experience

265
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:18,840
with NVIDIA not that long ago where I was reviewing a gaming notebook that had

266
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:20,760
NVIDIA's latest GTX 860m graphics card

267
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:24,960
in it and they've got a new feature that they're calling battery boost where

268
00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:29,039
they're claiming up to two times the battery performance and I mentioned this

269
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:33,120
in my notebook review where I said said I got about an extra 2 minutes of

270
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:37,440
performance not two times performance although I did admit at the time that I

271
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:40,360
do need to do a followup but I mean I don't think there was too much to go

272
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:47,799
wrong with my test because the way there's the technology is supposed to work is that instead of allowing The

273
00:20:45,039 --> 00:20:52,679
Notebook GPU to work as hard as it can to deliver you know 60 or 70 frames per

274
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:57,520
second you can limit the frame rate at like 30 if you're okay with that gaming

275
00:20:55,039 --> 00:21:01,520
experience on battery life in order to preserve some power so I just found a

276
00:20:59,159 --> 00:21:05,440
part of Crisis that normally would run at like 55 frames per second with

277
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:09,480
battery or 45 frames per second I think with with battery and then I turned the

278
00:21:07,159 --> 00:21:12,720
limiter on to 30 frames per second and I just left it there with a time-lapse

279
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:16,919
camera on it and the battery died and it shut off and it only was about 2 minutes

280
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,919
different

281
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:26,240
so I don't know I don't know what else there is for me to really say about it

282
00:21:24,679 --> 00:21:31,640
other than I just find that pretty frustrating so I'm going to go ahead and

283
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:36,919
add at least one mod here there we go boom I have added a moderator so I don't

284
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:41,640
think one mod is going to be enough and like I said we're working on a solution

285
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:45,120
but there you go all right now this next

286
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:48,440
thing is something that is pretty pretty

287
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:53,120
close to to me because I do make videos

288
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:56,320
for a living now this is from NAB 2014

289
00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:58,840
and it is the Blackmagic Ursa upgradable

290
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:02,799
4k digital film camera now you guys might ask yourselves for those of you

291
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:07,440
who aren't that familiar with you know film equipment why do we still call it a

292
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:13,120
film camera like what what does that actually mean that means that they are

293
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:16,120
trying to achieve a more film-like look

294
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:19,240
which many content creators still agree

295
00:22:16,120 --> 00:22:21,039
is better than that digital camcorder

296
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:28,000
feel that you get with a lot of digital Solutions so products like the Ari Alexa

297
00:22:24,279 --> 00:22:29,520
which actually isn't even a 4k camera so

298
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:34,720
I'm going to let that sink in but gets used for video production for for

299
00:22:32,039 --> 00:22:41,000
feature films it's not even a 4k digital camera what they've achieved with that

300
00:22:37,039 --> 00:22:45,400
is a film look and a color and and and a

301
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:47,559
feel to it that is closer to film while

302
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:51,919
avoiding the pitfalls of film which are mostly that is cumbersome to work with

303
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:57,840
and that it is extremely expensive that's number one so what Blackmagic is

304
00:22:54,279 --> 00:23:00,039
trying to do here is create a 4k camera

305
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:03,720
that is kind of EG size so like you know those ones for like newscaster news

306
00:23:01,919 --> 00:23:10,279
crews that they carry around on the on the shoulder Mount so it's about EG size

307
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:13,600
and not just big but also incredibly

308
00:23:10,279 --> 00:23:17,240
featur so they are allowing upgradable

309
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:20,240
sensors upgradable lens mounts it has a

310
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:23,000
10in display built into one side of it

311
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:28,080
it has two additional displays so aside from being used for EG use it could be

312
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:30,840
used on like a a multi you know with a

313
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:34,840
multi person crew on a video production set for commercials or even feature

314
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:38,440
films with like one person monitoring scopes on one side and one person

315
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:42,520
monitoring what the lens is actually looking at on the other side like up to

316
00:23:40,120 --> 00:23:46,480
three people working per camera it's got all these screens on it it's got

317
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:52,720
professional quality inputs and outputs so it has 12g SDI which means that you

318
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:58,559
can basically output directly with one cable 4K it supports internal dual raw

319
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:03,159
and prores Recorders so it's using the upcoming cfast standard that's kind of

320
00:24:01,159 --> 00:24:06,640
like an extension of compact flash so unlike the cinema camera it doesn't use

321
00:24:04,559 --> 00:24:11,559
ssds but at least this is a standard media as opposed to a lot of recording

322
00:24:09,559 --> 00:24:16,480
solutions that use proprietary media in fact the one that we use for our Sony

323
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:20,159
camera uses proprietary ssds so it's a firmware lock that doesn't allow us to

324
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:24,760
use other things and then it's got you know XLR input it's got so the two 5-in

325
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:28,159
touchscreens that are on both sides of the camera so you can put your settings

326
00:24:26,399 --> 00:24:32,279
controls monitoring tools there and then the big one is the upgradable sensor so

327
00:24:29,919 --> 00:24:35,960
it comes in at only $6,000 which sounds like a lot of money to you guys but to

328
00:24:33,679 --> 00:24:40,760
put this in perspective the Sony fs700 is was around that price when we

329
00:24:38,679 --> 00:24:46,000
bought it I think around $7,000 when we bought it has a 4K sensor in it but it's

330
00:24:44,120 --> 00:24:49,360
only capable of recording directly to 1080p without an expensive firmware

331
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:54,640
upgrade and an expensive external recorder so our camera has actually cost

332
00:24:52,159 --> 00:24:57,799
us well over $10,000 by the time we're actually shooting 4K with it which we

333
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:03,440
aren't even able to yet cuz we're still waiting for another firmware update for our recorder but that's a whole other

334
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:06,200
story so this is only $6,000 records to

335
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:12,320
4K immediately you can upgrade the sensor to Future standards like 6K 8K or

336
00:25:10,159 --> 00:25:17,240
whatever you can upgrade the mount to put different lenses on it and it just

337
00:25:15,399 --> 00:25:24,480
freaking blew my mind and the fact that it uses Open Standards and comes in at

338
00:25:19,279 --> 00:25:26,559
only $6,000 is just un real I'm going to

339
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:31,520
head over to Twitch chat and see if uh things have sort of gotten gotten a

340
00:25:29,159 --> 00:25:35,120
little bit less uh out of control yes indeed they have in fact all right let's

341
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:39,360
move on to our next topic here I think this is going to be a pretty short show

342
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:45,399
just because there's not a whole lot of room for discussion between me and Luke

343
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:52,640
over here so this is a cool demo now one of the things that I have criticized

344
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:55,320
Thunderbolt for is that it just isn't

345
00:25:52,640 --> 00:26:01,120
Ethernet it doesn't allow the same kind of flexibility that Ethernet does in a

346
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:03,960
multi user scenario so having 10 GB

347
00:26:01,120 --> 00:26:09,080
Ethernet on my PC to me is more important than paying a premium for a

348
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:13,720
Thunderbolt enabled PC and then paying another premium for a Thunderbolt

349
00:26:11,039 --> 00:26:19,320
enabled storage enclosure well now Thunderbolt 2 has been shown off

350
00:26:16,559 --> 00:26:27,480
enabling a 10 gbit per second Ethernet connection between not only from Mac to

351
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:30,279
Mac but between a Mac and a PC so now

352
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:35,880
your Mac Pro with its six Thunderbolt 2 connections and uh you know Gigabyte for

353
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:38,600
example so your PC motherboard with dual

354
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:43,159
Thunderbolt connections now all of a sudden you can create a super fast

355
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:47,320
Network that can connect to Thunderbolt enabled expansion devices such as

356
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:53,480
storage this makes Thunderbolt a much more feasible option to me because a lot

357
00:26:50,039 --> 00:26:55,159
of what we do is in a multi-user working

358
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:59,799
environment where everyone needs to access the same resources at the same

359
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:03,960
time and for thaton reason Thunderbolt has just made no sense to me and the Mac

360
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:08,080
Pro in particular has made no sense to me because it cannot be expanded to 10

361
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:12,200
gig Ethernet without buying a Thunderbolt enclosure Thunderbolt to PCI

362
00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:16,799
Express enclosure and then putting a 10 gig Ethernet card in there now you're

363
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:21,600
adapting this to that to that to that in order to just access a network resource

364
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:25,760
because it only has one gigabit Ethernet built into it well now Thunderbolt looks

365
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:30,320
a little bit more feasible now I do see some negative comments about this Tech

366
00:27:28,159 --> 00:27:35,039
technology and I one person put it pretty well and said well this is

367
00:27:32,159 --> 00:27:38,840
ridiculous we're moving away from centralized switching and we're going

368
00:27:36,679 --> 00:27:43,240
back to what like token ring so so you actually have to network each computer

369
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:48,640
on a network you have to like kind of daisy chain them all together which

370
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:51,480
feels kind of stupid but and I see that

371
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:56,240
point but I also see this as a pretty good intermediary solution for folks

372
00:27:53,760 --> 00:28:01,720
that don't want to drop you know 300 to 500 bucks per adapter on 10 GB Ethernet

373
00:27:58,679 --> 00:28:02,840
cards and then build themselves a Nas or

374
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:06,640
whatever else so now you can just buy a Thunderbolt enclosure and go ahead and

375
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:12,519
and do that so they showed off transfer speeds of 150 megabytes per second which

376
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:17,200
um not actually that impressive we'd be looking at we would want uh wait a

377
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:21,960
minute hold on yeah we we'd want to see quite a bit higher than that for 10

378
00:28:18,679 --> 00:28:25,480
gigabit but at least it's handled or at

379
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:27,440
least it's working um now uh in line

380
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:31,120
with the whole Thunderbolt expansion versus internal expansion conversation

381
00:28:29,679 --> 00:28:36,120
that inevitably comes up whenever we talk about Mac these days we actually

382
00:28:33,679 --> 00:28:41,159
have a Hackintosh build guide coming very soon and I'm going to cover this in

383
00:28:38,399 --> 00:28:45,279
quite a bit more depth in that video but um in that build guide I guess I you

384
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:50,519
know what I I have notes in here that I wanted to talk about that but I guess I kind of talked about it already because

385
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:55,679
I talk about the merits of Thunderbolt expansion versus PCI Express expansion

386
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:58,840
and how one can be beneficial or the other can be beneficial but I guess I'll

387
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:04,039
just do this then I'll tease our upcoming Hackintosh video it's scripted

388
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:08,320
and shot and sitting in editing now so you should be expecting to see that

389
00:29:05,519 --> 00:29:12,600
sometime about mid next week editing takes so long these days I mean it's

390
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:17,080
great that we're able to that we're able to deliver so much better production

391
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:21,919
values than we used to but it is so expensive you guys and it is so time

392
00:29:19,279 --> 00:29:27,360
consuming to make videos like the uh like the HTC1 M8 video that we released

393
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:34,039
last night where that's like I was uh I was talking to Jack from NC today and he

394
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,760
was saying that um you know blah blah

395
00:29:34,039 --> 00:29:40,120
blah video production this video production that is we were just kind of

396
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:46,480
talking about it and I was I was I was telling him why I'm not planning to do a

397
00:29:42,799 --> 00:29:48,399
Galaxy S5 review um Samsung reached out

398
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:54,360
to me they said they have a loner unit that I can borrow for I think 13 days or

399
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:58,840
15 days or something like that and then it needs to by by that time be in the

400
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:01,919
hands of the next reviewer and I basically went you know what I'm not

401
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:07,640
going to bother um they can send it to me and I'll try it but if it's not a

402
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:09,960
unit that I can actually set up as if

403
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:13,720
I'm going to use this as my daily driver for the next six months then I just

404
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:17,880
don't feel that incentivized to bother with it and frankly I find it kind of

405
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:22,640
insulting because doing a review like the M8

406
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:26,240
review is is a bit of a different

407
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:28,559
approach for us I try to use the devices

408
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:33,399
as if I'm planning to use it forever I try to switch to every device that I use

409
00:30:32,159 --> 00:30:37,880
because I think that that's the only way to review it properly that's the only

410
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:42,080
way that you can incentivize yourself to work through the problems and that's the

411
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:46,399
only way that you can avoid convincing yourself that this lock button isn't

412
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:49,320
going to bother me in the long term you have to actually think about it if I'm

413
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:53,120
going to be using this for six months then will it be good enough for me and

414
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:59,600
you could kind of sit there and go oh well lonus you just want you just want

415
00:30:54,919 --> 00:31:02,880
free phones and it's not that because

416
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:05,600
for the cost of me making this video I

417
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:10,600
was telling Jack this it cost me about 20 labor hours which when you have

418
00:31:08,039 --> 00:31:14,240
employees that make a decent living wage and you give them benefits and you pay

419
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:20,720
into their pension plan and you do all this stuff costs me well over $500 to

420
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:25,279
make that video I could literally just not make a video and I could go buy an

421
00:31:22,919 --> 00:31:30,039
S5 and that would work out just fine for me because that $500 doesn't even Factor

422
00:31:28,039 --> 00:31:34,360
and the time that I spent using the device and tinkering with it and

423
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:39,000
compiling my notes and scripting my review all right so I basically went

424
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:45,760
okay yeah you guys can send one to me but I'm not going to make a review because if I'm not worth the effort or

425
00:31:43,279 --> 00:31:49,080
worth the resources to send a phone then quite frankly you're not worth me

426
00:31:47,039 --> 00:31:55,360
spending $500 to make a video about it and let's just kind of leave it at that

427
00:31:53,039 --> 00:32:00,639
so I don't even remember where I was going with this Hackintosh preview how

428
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:07,919
did I end up talking about this Hackintosh preview

429
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,919
wow speaking of Samsung

430
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:15,080
phones this is really cool so the BBC

431
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:17,679
has this article talking about a battery

432
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:23,720
that right now is not miniaturized enough for cell phone use but is about

433
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:28,440
the size of a cigarette package but can

434
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:31,519
be charged in under 30 seconds so they

435
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:34,880
charged up a Samsung Galaxy S4 that's

436
00:32:31,519 --> 00:32:40,080
Frankenstein hooked up to this thing in

437
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:42,559
26 seconds at a demo holy crap and the

438
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:47,039
craziest thing about this technology is that we're actually not that far away

439
00:32:45,399 --> 00:32:52,880
from it being a product that can be commercialized so this bioorganic

440
00:32:49,799 --> 00:32:54,760
battery uses a self assembling uses tiny

441
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:59,039
self assembly Nano crystals that were first identified in research that was

442
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:04,200
actually being done into Alzheimer's back at Tel Aviv 10 years ago and the

443
00:33:01,679 --> 00:33:08,679
team is using these nanoc crystals in order to create batteries or even other

444
00:33:06,679 --> 00:33:14,120
technological devices such as a replacement to um flash storage chips so

445
00:33:11,639 --> 00:33:19,440
they're even showing off these these organic chips or whatever you want to

446
00:33:16,519 --> 00:33:22,159
call them in battery applications in chip applications storage applications

447
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:26,440
and they're showing off that they can achieve right speeds up to three times

448
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:30,000
what we can do with current Nan Flash the batteries so back to the batteries

449
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:33,919
are likely to be 30 to 40% more expensive to manufacture and the final

450
00:33:32,159 --> 00:33:40,360
product will likely be about twice as expensive as those on the market today

451
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:43,159
but what would you guys give would you

452
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:46,720
pay like I I mean okay let's say just for a second I just bought a replacement

453
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:52,240
battery for a Droid DNA and I think it cost me about 50 bucks so let's say it

454
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:55,279
added $100 to the price of a Topline

455
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:58,320
smartphone or even 150 would you pay the

456
00:33:55,279 --> 00:33:59,639
extra $150 for a phone

457
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:05,399
and I'd love to hear from you guys on Twitter actually let's let's Twitter Blitz this Linus Tech would you pay an

458
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:10,480
extra $150 for your phone the one you own right now if it had wireless

459
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:15,879
charging that you could basically put up against a pad for 30 seconds and fully

460
00:34:13,359 --> 00:34:21,240
recharge it let's say for a second that the pads

461
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:25,639
also cost twice as much so right now you can get a CH pad for about 20 bucks so

462
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:31,040
let's say the pad costs 50 bucks so you're spending almost $200 extra out of

463
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:36,800
pocket to have that solution I'd love to hear if you guys think that's worth it

464
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:39,919
because I totally do I am tired of

465
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:43,320
batteries just running out of life and

466
00:34:39,919 --> 00:34:46,520
being frustrating all right now I have

467
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:50,320
received a ton of requests to review

468
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:53,440
this bad boy this is the g502 Proteus

469
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:56,240
core tunable gaming mouse from Logitech

470
00:34:53,440 --> 00:35:00,520
it is available at a very reasonable $79.99

471
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:05,440
when you consider all of the features it has so it's got weight controls it's got

472
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:10,599
11 programmable buttons it's got DPI shifting it's got upgraded ergonomics

473
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:14,160
it's got their dual mode scroll wheel which is actually really cool so it can

474
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:17,640
either be clicky or you can just flick it into free Spin mode it's great for

475
00:35:15,720 --> 00:35:24,160
things like working on Excel documents and this is the big one it's got a 32bit

476
00:35:21,359 --> 00:35:30,320
microcontroller with the most accurate sensor on the market is what log Tech is

477
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:36,480
saying what they're saying is that the resolution of the sensor is

478
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:37,440
1,200 DPI without any tricks without any

479
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:42,720
Tom Foolery fascinating now we've actually

480
00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:47,040
got a sample of the mouse already so yes a video about this mouse will be coming

481
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:52,720
but I haven't actually tried it personally yet edel is actually kind of

482
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:57,040
our Mouse expert these days I swear he's like is like constantly reading up on

483
00:35:55,119 --> 00:36:00,640
Mouse sensors and firmwares and like he's bought a about three or four mice

484
00:35:59,079 --> 00:36:05,680
in the last little while just he's talking about switching out the the

485
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:08,720
clicky switches on a zoi mouse in order to swap out the ones they're using for

486
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:12,280
Omron switches like he's turning into a total like Mouse geek but it's great

487
00:36:10,839 --> 00:36:16,200
because I was able to give the mouse to him and I've got his initial Impressions

488
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:20,000
already that I am just going to tease you guys with now where he said it is a

489
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:24,119
little bit on the heavy side but that the tracking is actually very very

490
00:36:23,119 --> 00:36:29,680
accurate so I have his initial Impressions and we will be providing you with that but this worked out really

491
00:36:27,359 --> 00:36:32,560
well because um I don't remember where I was going with that this is the problem

492
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:38,160
with not having him to keep me grounded as I just kind of like go but uh very

493
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:42,319
very very exciting and definitely a first in the industry and I mean it's

494
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:46,800
Logitech so their software is going to be stable um they've got a three-year

495
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:50,920
warranty that is legendary I've had to use it a couple times myself and it's

496
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:54,920
been a satisfying experience every single time and uh I guess that's pretty

497
00:36:53,520 --> 00:37:00,480
much all I have to say about it Luke will have a chance to check out the ergonomics of this mouse at packs I

498
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:05,119
think he did plan to swing by the Logitech Booth so maybe you guys can uh

499
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:11,240
expect to hear his Impressions on it even if you haven't heard mine yet because all I've held is the box I

500
00:37:08,119 --> 00:37:14,000
handed it to Ed and I was like yo you're

501
00:37:11,240 --> 00:37:20,119
into mice these days man check this out is it good is it not I got to know all

502
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:26,720
right speaking of things are they good and are they not I am I don't know I

503
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:31,079
guess maybe I'm just like jaded and tired and oh no I want to do my Twitter

504
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:38,119
Blitz yay Twitter Blitz before lonus gets all jaded and tired of things yay

505
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:39,880
okay Twitter boom there should be a rule

506
00:37:38,119 --> 00:37:44,400
that people should have at least 100 posts because there's so many fake

507
00:37:41,839 --> 00:37:50,240
accounts on the giveaway nope we're not going to create a rule but what we can

508
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:52,000
do is audit by IP and we actually have a

509
00:37:50,240 --> 00:37:56,319
couple of other fancy tricks as well so don't worry we'll know if people have

510
00:37:53,760 --> 00:38:03,040
duplicate entries all right uh Marco says yes definitely

511
00:37:59,960 --> 00:38:06,720
worthwhile on that new battery idea

512
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:09,560
Tyler says not in the first gen wouldn't

513
00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:14,520
pay $150 for it so maybe second or third gen they can have my money Casey says

514
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:19,880
yes even if it was thicker and produced more heat all the yes John says hell

515
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:25,760
yeah that's a bargain in my opinion I would love to charge a note three in 26

516
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:29,599
seconds Anthony says hell's yeah solar

517
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:31,839
TR hell yes hell yeah yeah yes I would

518
00:38:29,599 --> 00:38:37,560
pay that is a bad word Danny Luke says I would totally pay $200 for a phone that

519
00:38:34,319 --> 00:38:42,200
charges in 30 seconds look at this wow

520
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:44,280
wow yes yes yes yes no doubt no doubt

521
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:50,280
ever yes yes yes yes well there you go it's

522
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:55,640
basically unanimous if we could get batteries that maybe aren't higher

523
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:59,400
capacity but give us more flexibility in terms of how we use them in our daily

524
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:04,000
lives like if you had a you know a charging pad in your car so you could just kind of Chuck your phone on there

525
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:07,319
when you get in the car and then it's like completely done you take it off

526
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:10,880
like 30 seconds later set it up with your nav and you're ready to go like if

527
00:39:08,839 --> 00:39:15,280
it changes the way that you use your device people are definitely still

528
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:21,839
willing to pay a lot for phones which is something that I meant to discuss more

529
00:39:17,720 --> 00:39:26,400
in my M8 review was is there still room

530
00:39:21,839 --> 00:39:29,920
for 600 700 $800 Flagship devices in a

531
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:34,240
world where the NEX 5 exists at300 or

532
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:35,240
$350 depending on the capacity and you

533
00:39:34,240 --> 00:39:43,000
know what before I had my hands on the M8 I

534
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:44,839
probably would have said No and when I

535
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:51,599
get my hands on some of the new stuff that's coming like the OnePlus One um I

536
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:57,400
might say no again but the experience of using the M8 really does justify maybe

537
00:39:54,880 --> 00:40:00,880
not as a discreet handset purchase like if I was someone who bought my phones

538
00:39:58,599 --> 00:40:04,560
outright so I'm spending twice as much on it maybe it doesn't justify it for me

539
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:08,960
but it does justify the additional expense if I'm someone who buys on a

540
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:12,520
carrier contract with a subsidized phone so I'm only paying another couple

541
00:40:10,359 --> 00:40:16,720
hundred dollars for it I think there is still room for premium phones with

542
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:21,720
premium features that really do feel different from plastic phones with

543
00:40:19,079 --> 00:40:26,000
plastic features for Samsung on the other hand not sure that I feel the same

544
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:29,599
way where it's just like oh you like wave at the phone in order to to enable

545
00:40:27,599 --> 00:40:33,000
more features but like I said I haven't actually been Hands-On with the S5 I

546
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:38,200
haven't heard back from them yet so I'm not sure if they're going to be sending me one I did say that I would talk about

547
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:41,960
it on Wow even if I don't do a dedicated review of it and that I would use the

548
00:40:39,720 --> 00:40:46,640
device even if it's not some right I remember where I was going with that

549
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:49,800
whole Spiel before is the reason that I

550
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:52,560
ask for a keeper unit is because I don't

551
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:55,920
feel like setting it up and actually using it if I'm not going to actually

552
00:40:54,079 --> 00:41:00,040
use it and if I'm just going to have to wipe all my pictures and wipe all of my

553
00:40:57,720 --> 00:41:05,960
settings off of it shortly and then go and you know resync my actual daily

554
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:09,359
driver back to it I mean it's one thing if I end up doing that anyway because I

555
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:13,079
don't end up liking the device but that's that's comes with the territory

556
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:17,599
it's another thing if I end up liking the device and it becomes my favorite

557
00:41:15,720 --> 00:41:20,200
device which hasn't yet happened with a Samsung device so it hasn't really been

558
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:24,720
that big of an issue but if it becomes my favorite device and then I I send it

559
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:27,839
away I go back to using something else new devices roll in and I want to

560
00:41:26,359 --> 00:41:32,920
compare them against something that I really like and I don't even have it in my hands anymore I believe that this is

561
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:38,160
where I was trying to go with this I believe that comparative analysis needs

562
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:42,520
to be done side by side and not from memory that was my whole point with that

563
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:48,359
thing jeez all right so let's go back aside

564
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:52,359
from being a waste of time and money for me to make a video about it when you're

565
00:41:49,720 --> 00:41:55,560
not even willing to invest you know just well here's the product that you're

566
00:41:53,599 --> 00:41:59,240
doing us a favor by generating exposure for or not doing a favor favor if I end

567
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:04,000
up giving a negative review but that comes with the territory that's any

568
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:06,359
reviewer all right speaking of any

569
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:14,119
reviewer there are any number of different reviews on the radon R9

570
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:15,800
295x2 except one from yours truly

571
00:42:14,119 --> 00:42:19,800
because we didn't get seated a unit I've had quite a few few people complain

572
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:27,839
about the fact that we've been uploading speaker videos as opposed to a an R9

573
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:30,280
295x2 video and all I could really say

574
00:42:27,839 --> 00:42:34,520
is there's nothing I can do because AMD didn't see this one we were included in

575
00:42:32,720 --> 00:42:39,520
their viral marketing campaign where they sent pictures uh or they sent a

576
00:42:37,079 --> 00:42:43,680
picture they sent Pringles and then they sent like this disc that had this like

577
00:42:42,079 --> 00:42:46,680
video on it that I didn't look at and then had a slide deck that actually told

578
00:42:45,559 --> 00:42:51,000
me everything I needed to know about the GPU and then I only found out a few days

579
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:54,119
prior to launch when I was like hey are you guys going to follow up with a card

580
00:42:52,359 --> 00:42:58,440
at some point here that I wasn't getting one so I didn't get one that's why I

581
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:04,480
didn't bring you guys a review of it unfortunately I I don't think I am going

582
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:07,680
to get one from AMD I sent a I sent a yo

583
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:09,800
what's going on followup and uh I got a

584
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:13,280
response that there may not be any more sample units or there might be but I

585
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:16,880
haven't heard anything further yet so we'll see what happens but the good news

586
00:43:15,599 --> 00:43:22,839
actually I have two pieces of good news so good news number one is that there are plenty of reviews out there from

587
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:27,599
sites that I consider extremely credible and so we can definitely check those out

588
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:32,359
and the other good news is that it's a dual GPU card

589
00:43:29,839 --> 00:43:37,520
so people people always do this they kind of go hey lonus how do you think

590
00:43:34,359 --> 00:43:39,400
the new rumored upcoming duel whatever

591
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:44,720
is going to perform and I say hey it's going to perform just like two of those

592
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:49,319
because that's all it is it's two of those AMD has done some Innovative

593
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:54,000
things here but I didn't even need to Benchmark a 295x2 to get a pretty good

594
00:43:52,119 --> 00:43:59,079
idea of where it was going to land I can throw two 290 XS in a system I can throw

595
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:03,000
water cooling on them like not great water cooling but water cooling or like

596
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:08,520
a great air cooler or like go outside in the cold or whatever and I can tell you

597
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:12,680
how 295x2 is going to perform so that's the other piece of good news and then

598
00:44:09,720 --> 00:44:18,319
good news number three is that good guy Austin Evans has packed up his 295x2 and

599
00:44:15,720 --> 00:44:23,280
put it in the mail today for me so you might see a full review you might just

600
00:44:21,079 --> 00:44:26,400
see some Impressions once we get it on a bench or you might not because we're

601
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:32,119
pretty late to the party at this point anyway but let's get into how the

602
00:44:29,240 --> 00:44:35,920
credible you know sources of information have evaluated this card since we

603
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:43,480
haven't tested it ourselves so from bitte they say in nearly every way the

604
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:45,960
R9 295x2 is dual GPU done right in every

605
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:50,280
situation it simply works and damn well too as its scaling is seriously

606
00:44:48,319 --> 00:44:57,559
impressive so it's got a pair of overclocked albeit very moderately

607
00:44:52,720 --> 00:44:59,800
overclocked r9290 X's um and performs

608
00:44:57,559 --> 00:45:06,800
about like what you would expect however you can again expect some separate PCB

609
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:08,319
r9290 XS to give you similar if not

610
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:12,040
better performance because they have their own dedicated vrm circuitry that

611
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:16,280
has more room to breathe and you can potentially squeeze more overclocking

612
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:21,319
out of them for that reason so just like any dual GPU card ever before um Tom's

613
00:45:20,119 --> 00:45:30,079
Hardware actually made a really interesting point and that was that you will be able to buy two for the same

614
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:32,359
price as the dual gk110 based Battleship

615
00:45:30,079 --> 00:45:36,000
the Titan Z clearly though that comparison leaves one super dreadn

616
00:45:34,599 --> 00:45:42,079
smoldering that's a quote from Tom's Hardware because the Titan Z costs

617
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:45,800
$3,000 or twice the price and is probably going to perform similarly if

618
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:51,000
not actually a little bit worse with the key difference being that is air cooled

619
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:52,720
but would you really pay twice as much

620
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:58,680
for air cooling versus water cooling or would you rather buy two 295 x2s if you

621
00:45:56,280 --> 00:46:03,040
can figure out out where to put both of those radiators in fact there are some

622
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:08,000
cases that will support that so there's the overall impressions of the 295 X2 I

623
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:15,119
don't think I have too much else to really say about it other than that I

624
00:46:11,839 --> 00:46:18,200
do appreciate what AMD has done with

625
00:46:15,119 --> 00:46:21,680
their last two dual GPU cards so with

626
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:23,800
the um shoot I can't even remember their

627
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:27,520
bloody branding for the thing the 7990 there we go with the 79 they change it

628
00:46:26,079 --> 00:46:33,960
every generation they've done it again it's like is it a 3870 X2 or is it a

629
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:35,960
4870 X2 or is it a

630
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:37,920
5990 or whatever they called that thing they change it every generation so with

631
00:46:37,240 --> 00:46:43,960
the 7990 they introduced an openair cooler

632
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:47,160
and this was because they had to in order to keep the bloody thing cool so

633
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:51,480
what that meant was worse case temperatures but better GPU temperatures

634
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:58,559
and we I looked at that and I went that's great why are we relying on the

635
00:46:55,240 --> 00:47:00,920
on on the GPU card manufacturers to give

636
00:46:58,559 --> 00:47:04,960
us these non-reference cooler designs that keep the GPU cooler I understand

637
00:47:03,079 --> 00:47:09,000
that blower designs are better for certain builds but when we're talking

638
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:11,599
dual GPU cards I think we're talking about systems that better have some air

639
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:16,599
flow through them anyway so I appreciated that and I appreciate once

640
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:23,480
again that AMD has made this card water cooling out of the box so yeah it's only

641
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:25,240
a single 120 mm radiator and yeah it's

642
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:30,680
an ace attack all-in-one solution so it's not the greatest performing thing in the world but what I think a lot of

643
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:34,640
people were surprised to discover is that on a graphics card you don't need

644
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:38,960
the greatest thing in the world in order to still get really really impressive

645
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:45,359
thermals like I've seen reports around the web of these cards running as low as

646
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:48,200
you know 60 to 70 degrees under load

647
00:47:45,359 --> 00:47:53,520
that's running at full speed because people look at their CPU and the

648
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:57,119
temperatures a CPU runs at and they look at their GPU and they look at the

649
00:47:55,119 --> 00:48:02,160
temperatures a GPU runs at and I think the assumption is that there's some kind

650
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:06,800
of correlation between something's temperature and the amount of heat that

651
00:48:04,599 --> 00:48:12,480
it is outputting but there isn't your CPU has a much more optimized cooler on

652
00:48:10,119 --> 00:48:16,599
it because it has a lot more space so just because they both run at 80°

653
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:20,319
doesn't mean that a GPU actually kicks out that much heat compared to a CPU so

654
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:25,400
just because you could throw an overclocked CPU on a slim 120 mm

655
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:30,240
radiator design and you still get like you know 80 90° on it it's it's like

656
00:48:28,240 --> 00:48:35,640
yeah why did I even do that when you throw that on two gpus you can get great

657
00:48:33,240 --> 00:48:40,599
results because now you're taking that cooling out of that horrible form factor

658
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:45,720
that dual slot form factor that's just totally inadequate and you're moving it

659
00:48:42,599 --> 00:48:47,720
to a nice big 120 mm fan that's getting

660
00:48:45,720 --> 00:48:51,760
the heat from those gpus carried to it by water which is much more efficient

661
00:48:49,559 --> 00:48:56,520
than air so I think that's a really Innovative really cool thing that AMD

662
00:48:53,559 --> 00:49:00,960
has done with the what's what's someone saying what's incorrect hold on I'm

663
00:48:59,119 --> 00:49:03,799
curious now twitch chat someone's saying I'm incorrect about

664
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:12,480
something no no idea what you're talking about anymore oh someone says that's

665
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:19,400
incorrect I am pretty sure that nothing I said there was actually

666
00:49:14,119 --> 00:49:22,079
incorrect um yeah okay anyway someone

667
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:25,640
asks where's Luke he's at PX so there I did some twitch chat interaction

668
00:49:23,839 --> 00:49:30,000
especially now that it's uh now that it's not a total disaster in there you

669
00:49:28,119 --> 00:49:33,200
know what speaking of total disasters this isn't a total disaster at all but

670
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:37,720
let's go ahead and get into our sponsor break here so our first sponsor of the

671
00:49:35,720 --> 00:49:44,960
show today is ASUS this my friends is the g750 JZ and

672
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:50,440
what I really wanted to be able to do on our first spot for ASUS's new Ultimate

673
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:54,839
performance gaming notebook was have used it a fair bit and tell you a little

674
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:59,319
bit about the gaming performance and a little bit about what it's like to use

675
00:49:56,319 --> 00:50:01,400
it but unfortunately Luke took the one

676
00:49:59,319 --> 00:50:04,920
that I started setting up so I was able to use a couple of things I definitely

677
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:09,520
appreciate their new keyboard implementation with nice long travel time and I was able to set up a couple

678
00:50:08,119 --> 00:50:13,160
of things I definitely appreciate the looks and the fact that it actually runs

679
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:17,920
cool enough that I'm running this thing on my lap right now which you can't

680
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:23,400
always say about gaming grade notebooks Luke took it from me and was like oh hey

681
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:28,920
that's our editing machine for PAX East bye so I was like okay I was actually

682
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:32,480
going to use that so uh we do have two of them so each of us will be using them

683
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:35,720
for about the next eight weeks which will give you guys by the end of it a

684
00:50:34,240 --> 00:50:40,680
pretty good idea of what it's like for us to use them we'll definitely talk about our Impressions on the show here

685
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:44,240
um but it just means that the one that I had set up wasn't set up and I had to

686
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:48,359
like pull it out of the box now at the last minute get everything installed on

687
00:50:45,599 --> 00:50:53,000
it in order to just do the show at all today but what it also means is it gives

688
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:57,400
me a way to talk about the ways that these high performance notebooks can be

689
00:50:55,359 --> 00:51:02,319
used it's not always is just about gaming Luke first thing that went

690
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:07,520
through his mind was holy crap Thunderbolt Port cor i7 quad core with

691
00:51:05,720 --> 00:51:13,040
hyperthreading so nice high performance CPU and

692
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:15,280
880m graphics card which can be used for

693
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:20,799
Cuda acceleration in Premiere and he was like mobile workstation yoink it's

694
00:51:18,319 --> 00:51:27,119
because normally when we travel we would take a shuttle or um or a Silverstone

695
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:29,760
Sugo machine that has like a full size

696
00:51:27,119 --> 00:51:33,000
desktop CPU in it so actually we use six cores for almost all of our editing

697
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:36,680
machines and normally we take that when we travel but because Luke and Brandon

698
00:51:35,079 --> 00:51:41,440
are traveling to PAX East on their own this time they were really excited about

699
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:46,200
the opportunity to take a notebook that is fully like high quality video editing

700
00:51:44,359 --> 00:51:49,880
capable so Brandon doesn't have to Lug his ancient heavy thing that's like

701
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:54,760
super super slow and they don't have to take a desktop so there you go guys the

702
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:58,960
workstation usage model is another valid one for stuff like this and of course

703
00:51:56,240 --> 00:52:02,799
you play games on the go if you want as well so let's move into our next one

704
00:52:01,799 --> 00:52:08,040
this is another I'm trying to talk about our

705
00:52:05,079 --> 00:52:12,359
sponsors here right Dollar Shave Club so normally I would have my little bin that

706
00:52:10,720 --> 00:52:16,680
has all of the different Dollar Shave Club handles they're shave butter as

707
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:20,280
well as the one wipe Charlie that's the one thing that these guys left for me

708
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:26,559
and I would be able to hold them up and talk about how Dollar Shave Club is a

709
00:52:23,079 --> 00:52:28,599
great way to save money and save time by

710
00:52:26,559 --> 00:52:33,760
not dealing with the hassle of going to the store and finding a salesperson to

711
00:52:31,839 --> 00:52:37,839
you know unlock the cabinet for you and give you new razors and then pay a bunch

712
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:41,839
of money for them and then go home and just B waste time waste money so I would

713
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:49,400
be able to talk about how it's great and I'd be able to like hold up the razors and show you but the razors are so good

714
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:57,400
that my staff has absconded with all of them so I did offer Luke to try before

715
00:52:54,119 --> 00:52:58,920
blade one so I gave him both the uh the

716
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:02,920
package of cartridges that comes with your monthly subscription to Dollar

717
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:08,000
Shave Club and the handle which he promptly took with him to packs so um

718
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:12,240
and those of you who were saying in the last Dollar Shave Club ad that we did um

719
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:15,640
within our video that Luke doesn't shave yes he does people with beards still

720
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:18,680
shave you guys they have to like shape them and clean them up and stuff anyway

721
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:25,680
so Luke took that away with them so I don't have anything to show you there and then Taran the new guy was like oh

722
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:30,599
those look pretty good he's like picking it up he's like oh can I uh can I try

723
00:53:28,359 --> 00:53:36,280
this I'm like yeah sure whatever because we got like our our pack was enough for

724
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:39,559
uh for for everyone to like well not everyone it was enough for me to have

725
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:44,440
enough to use for a month because they provide a handle with your first order

726
00:53:41,720 --> 00:53:47,200
and then four cartridges or four blades each month so that you can use a fresh

727
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:51,079
one every week so you're getting a nice clean shave so I was like okay well I've

728
00:53:49,119 --> 00:53:54,640
got a one-month Supply I guess I could ask Dollar Shave Club to send me a a

729
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:58,520
renewal sooner and then everyone else can kind of try try one head so we're

730
00:53:56,599 --> 00:54:02,960
not sharing shaving heads cuz that's disgusting so he took off with it so I

731
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:08,400
don't have that either he's like he just completely absconded with it he's got

732
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:10,880
the handle and uh the entire thing of uh

733
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:16,319
six blade cartridges so I don't have anything to show you guys except the one

734
00:54:13,240 --> 00:54:18,200
wipe Charlies so one wipe Charlies are

735
00:54:16,319 --> 00:54:23,480
the uh are butt wipes for men they're peppermint scented they are moistened so

736
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:27,760
that you do a good job you do have it here awesome how is it by the way I

737
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:31,880
tried it yet you haven't even tried it yet here I am all upset that everyone's

738
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:35,240
stealing my things and they haven't even done it yet okay well there you go guys

739
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:40,319
there's the uh see we've cleverly labeled this one's luses this one's Tern

740
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:43,680
and there's the nice highquality grippy metal handle that's included with the uh

741
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:50,720
with the six blade version I'm going to go ahead and bring up their website because I spent this entire uh I spent

742
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:54,599
this entire thing complaining about everyone stealing the stuff cuz it looks

743
00:54:52,359 --> 00:54:59,720
so good and it turns out that only one of my employees is stealing everything

744
00:54:56,440 --> 00:55:01,400
thing so I'll go ahead and fire it up so

745
00:54:59,720 --> 00:55:04,599
the whole point of Dollar Shave Club since I haven't actually managed to talk

746
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:08,240
about that a whole lot is that they have a warehouse where they ship to you

747
00:55:06,839 --> 00:55:14,200
founder of Dollar Shave club. sorry about that guys where they ship to you

748
00:55:10,359 --> 00:55:15,799
once a month four new razors for your

749
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:21,160
handle that they provide to you on your first subscription they do it at a cost

750
00:55:18,359 --> 00:55:25,079
that is lower than buying them from the you know Shopping Center or wherever

751
00:55:22,799 --> 00:55:31,000
else you get them you can see that uh Mike here has put it so well our blades

752
00:55:28,079 --> 00:55:33,839
are you know bleeping great he's got a whole actually very funny commercial

753
00:55:32,799 --> 00:55:40,960
that you guys should definitely check out just if you search for dollarshaveclub.com on YouTube you guys

754
00:55:37,119 --> 00:55:42,920
can check that out and uh all of that

755
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:47,119
they do for very very reasonable prices so the four blade one the one that Luke

756
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:50,480
is actually using is only $6 a month and that's with shipping and handling

757
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:55,680
included in the US and the service is also available in Canada and Australia

758
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:59,200
this is one of the most disjointed integration I think that I've ever

759
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:04,400
actually done but I really hope you guys get the point save time save money

760
00:56:02,319 --> 00:56:08,799
Dollar Shave Club check this out and this is really cool because I think this

761
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:13,119
might be new because when I was first looking at them their Canadian prices I

762
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:16,720
think were higher or like shipping and handling wasn't included but check this

763
00:56:14,599 --> 00:56:22,240
out this is the first time that I've seen a company that's us in Canada that

764
00:56:19,119 --> 00:56:24,480
has very competitive pricing on their

765
00:56:22,240 --> 00:56:30,039
Canadian service with shipping included that's really cool it's 50 cents more

766
00:56:27,359 --> 00:56:35,880
expensive in Canadian dollars for the four blade razor versus in the US now

767
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:39,920
when you factor in that the Canadian dollar is about 10% behind the US dollar

768
00:56:38,559 --> 00:56:43,640
I think it's like 5 to 10% right now I haven't looked at it in a couple weeks

769
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:46,480
they're basically just doing a currency conversion when you factor in that

770
00:56:45,039 --> 00:56:50,559
shipping is so much more expensive in Canada that's freaking impressive and

771
00:56:48,559 --> 00:56:55,760
like a plus doll shave club for doing that in fact I think the

772
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:58,200
$9.50 executive one is less than the

773
00:56:55,760 --> 00:57:01,039
difference in currency more expensive because it's only 50 cents more

774
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:06,119
expensive as well so kudos to them for that all right so with our sponsor

775
00:57:04,039 --> 00:57:08,880
messages out of the way did I ever even actually switch to the Dollar Shave Club

we're pretty much done all right so let's move on to our next topic here

782
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:40,720
which is the heart bed bug this is a big

783
00:57:38,359 --> 00:57:46,359
problem I I was actually tempted to just do a dedicated video about this during

784
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:49,640
the week not because I'm a total expert

785
00:57:46,359 --> 00:57:52,480
on you know SSL encryption and secure

786
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:56,720
web access I have a basic fundamental understanding of how it works and why

787
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:59,400
it's important to encrypt certain data that's sent over the Internet so for

788
00:57:58,039 --> 00:58:04,280
example when you interface with a website like Linus tips.com it's

789
00:58:02,359 --> 00:58:08,640
important for us to encrypt your user name and password but it is not

790
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:13,559
important for us to encrypt the post that you're about to post publicly so

791
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:18,000
that's that's the that's the fundamental thing that's going on here SSL

792
00:58:14,799 --> 00:58:20,280
encryption exists to protect

793
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:24,440
inlight private data as it's being transmitted so things like credit card

794
00:58:21,839 --> 00:58:31,079
numbers passwords and the like what the heart bed bug is is it is a problem with

795
00:58:28,039 --> 00:58:33,720
up to an estimated

796
00:58:31,079 --> 00:58:39,440
23 of the sites on the internet including some very frequently used very

797
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:44,839
very big sites it is a bug that would allow stealing allow theft of the

798
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:50,480
information that is being transmitted so there's all kinds of of different things

799
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:53,480
that use SSL so for example web email

800
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:55,359
instant messaging and some VPN Solutions

801
00:58:53,480 --> 00:59:01,720
are using SSL in order to secure your data and harley.com was actually able to

802
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:07,000
prove this this problem existed by stealing from themselves the secret Keys

803
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:12,319
used for their x509 certificates usernames passwords instant messages

804
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:16,720
emails and business critical documents and communication the bug has actually

805
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:22,440
existed for around two years and aess a successful attack would leave no Trace

806
00:59:19,799 --> 00:59:26,520
so if your VPN solution for example is has not done anything about heart bleed

807
00:59:24,319 --> 00:59:30,440
you might want to cool it on using it for the time being until they've proven

808
00:59:28,839 --> 00:59:34,760
that they have fixed any of the vulnerabilities because that is pretty

809
00:59:32,359 --> 00:59:41,400
much the only way to even know that you haven't been compromised is to just not

810
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:44,039
transmit any any secure data over the

811
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:49,000
internet in the meantime which is kind of terrible it's been a a while since

812
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:52,839
there's been something that uh that devastating all right let's move on to

813
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:57,400
our next topic here this was originally posted online tech tips.com by Ashley

814
00:59:55,280 --> 01:00:02,920
thank you very much and that is that Netflix is now streaming in 4k starting

815
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:06,440
with House of Cards this is a bit of a mixed bag for me so here's the article

816
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:12,200
on the verge I'm just going to go ahead and flip back to uh back to me here this

817
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:18,640
is my show this is a bit of a mix bag for me because as much as I appreciate

818
01:00:15,079 --> 01:00:21,160
4K content for some things um I

819
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:26,280
appreciate that when we are going to switch to 4K which we are for our videos

820
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:30,920
it is going to enable a higher bit rate playback mode on YouTube that will allow

821
01:00:28,359 --> 01:00:36,039
even 1080p viewers to experience better quality I appreciate that I appreciate

822
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:42,920
that as part of the 4K production workflow we have the flexibility to take

823
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:46,119
a 4K frame that's this big and punch in

824
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:48,119
this small on it and get still a 1080p

825
01:00:46,119 --> 01:00:52,039
full HD image so we don't have to necessarily switch lenses if we want to

826
01:00:50,319 --> 01:00:56,079
get a closeup that's really cool right so we could just take a bigger image and

827
01:00:53,799 --> 01:01:00,839
then punch in in order to do really fantastic close-ups using a digital Zoom

828
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:05,440
I appreciate that about it but what I don't really much care for is the fact

829
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:09,480
that it's going to have an impact on bandwidth for Netflix streaming users

830
01:01:07,799 --> 01:01:15,160
something that is a concern if you have a provider that limits your bandwidth I

831
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:17,599
don't appreciate that it's already um a

832
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:21,200
concern for Netflix to be able to stream 1080p with any reasonable level of

833
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:24,599
quality like I don't know if you guys know this should be a topic for an

834
01:01:23,039 --> 01:01:30,920
upcoming fastest possible I don't know if you guys know the mechanisms behind

835
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:33,319
it but there's more to the quality of a

836
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:41,280
video stream than just resolution a lot more I mean I could I could give you

837
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:45,160
guys a video stream that's just 1,80 by

838
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:47,760
1,920 black pixels that just refresh and

839
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:51,160
that's not that's not quality that's that's just that's so just because

840
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:56,119
something has a resolution doesn't mean it's a quality video feed so bit rate

841
01:01:53,400 --> 01:02:00,880
and color depth which is largely affected by the bit rate of the media

842
01:01:58,039 --> 01:02:04,960
actually to me has a very very noticeable impact on the viewing

843
01:02:02,839 --> 01:02:11,240
experience and when I'm watching videos on Netflix I just uh it's really ugly

844
01:02:09,599 --> 01:02:15,880
sometimes the way that their Dynamic throttling will scale back the bit rate

845
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:20,240
so that you get these blocky chunks of of low color depth and that's at 1080p

846
01:02:18,319 --> 01:02:24,960
already so if you were to tell me okay lonus I want you to give up some more

847
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:29,200
color depth so that we can throw more resolution at you you might not even

848
01:02:26,599 --> 01:02:36,640
appreciate from so far away from your TV I'd go

849
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:39,480
eh maybe sure no probably not um

850
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:44,160
so they're saying right now look guys don't expect a mass roll out of this

851
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:47,079
right off the bat so they're realistic about it I me okay and on top of all of

852
01:02:46,079 --> 01:02:53,160
this is that it's going to use more bandwidth and Netflix is already having trouble dealing with all the all the uh

853
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:57,520
service providers to get their service you know actually provided to their

854
01:02:55,079 --> 01:03:00,000
customers that are reasonable degree of quality and that sentence didn't

855
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:05,400
actually make any sense but I hope you guys get the point so they're saying don't expect a mass roll out and even by

856
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:12,079
the end of the year the 4K selection will be very small but uh there you go

857
01:03:09,039 --> 01:03:15,839
they've got it so if you were to buy an

858
01:03:12,079 --> 01:03:18,319
inexpensive 4K TV from Seiki or check

859
01:03:15,839 --> 01:03:24,200
this out this is a review that's coming soon an inexpensive 4k monitor from the

860
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:32,440
likes of Samsung so yes guys I have gotten myself the ud 590 from Samsung 4K

861
01:03:28,359 --> 01:03:36,200
28 in TN monitor available for $700 Holy

862
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:38,039
balls um then you would be able to map a

863
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:42,359
pixel to every pixel and enjoy that content natively but I'm just not

864
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:46,400
necessarily convinced especially from what I've seen of that monitor so far I

865
01:03:44,559 --> 01:03:50,960
did have one open at NCI today that I was able to check out not convinced that

866
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:56,440
it's really worth it all right direct X12 will double Xbox One performance so

867
01:03:54,760 --> 01:04:00,119
this was originally posted by top war gamer on the lest Tech tips Forum thank

868
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:05,920
you very much for posting that and the original article is from bgr.com so they

869
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:11,760
have a gamechanging update that will double Xbox One performance

870
01:04:08,319 --> 01:04:13,559
now my problem with this is comes back

871
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:18,359
to the whole NVIDIA discussion earlier where it's are you really going to be

872
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:23,640
providing double the performance or is it going to be like double the performance in one game that was already

873
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:26,319
fairly well optimized anyway and it's not really going to make a difference to

874
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:33,480
most people um and other than that is it just going to be a marginal incremental Improvement

875
01:04:30,799 --> 01:04:38,599
um and and I don't know yet there's still a lot of room for Microsoft to

876
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:42,160
improve things about the Xbox one but a lot of the benefits of direct X12 seem

877
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:45,359
to have to do at least from what Microsoft said maybe they're keeping

878
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:48,839
some of their cards close to their chest but a lot of the benefits seem to have

879
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:53,119
to do with allowing more low-level programming for the GPU from the game

880
01:04:51,319 --> 01:04:57,200
makers but that's something that we've already had on consoles for quite some

881
01:04:55,119 --> 01:05:00,960
time and it's something that Sony could just as easily enable on their platform

882
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:05,240
whether they're using directx11 or directx12 and from what I've heard like

883
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:09,760
word on the street is that we're not that far away from bare metal on these

884
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:12,720
consoles already anyway so that to me kind of goes okay well if we've unlocked

885
01:05:11,279 --> 01:05:17,920
a lot of the potential of the hardware is this just going to be software Tom

886
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:20,079
Foolery and and smoke and mirrors in

887
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:24,799
order to try to get games to run at 108p cuz that's one of the claims that

888
01:05:21,039 --> 01:05:26,559
they're making or is this a total Game

889
01:05:24,799 --> 01:05:31,000
Changer as you say and it remains to be seen this and also remains to be seen oh

890
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:37,440
yeah I remember where I was going with this sorry guys again like my train of thoughts just like run away I haven't

891
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:38,799
slept a lot this week um right Microsoft

892
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:42,920
still has a lot of room to improve things whether this update improves

893
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:46,880
anything or not because their whole cloud-based compute thing where they can

894
01:05:45,079 --> 01:05:51,839
use that for physics effects or simulation stuff where it's not terribly

895
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:56,039
important that you know the waves of the ocean react with the same split-second

896
01:05:53,839 --> 01:05:59,400
precision as an opponent um so there's a lot of room for Xbox One to improve its

897
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:05,760
performance I just don't know that this is going to be the difference between

898
01:06:02,279 --> 01:06:07,440
50% performance and 100% performance but

899
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:12,400
it will bring multi-core processing to the Xbox One something that you know I

900
01:06:10,839 --> 01:06:15,839
am kind of baffled that it didn't have in the first place but I you look at how

901
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:20,079
long Microsoft's been working on Direct X12 I guess they're just kind of waiting

902
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:23,400
it out they're going to wait till it's done they're going to release it when

903
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:31,799
it's actually ready so because I think they said what they've been working on it for four years now

904
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:35,359
all right uh seate has announced a 6

905
01:06:31,799 --> 01:06:37,599
terabyte hard drive it spins at 7200 RPM

906
01:06:35,359 --> 01:06:42,000
so this is not your this is not your you know Grandpa's cheesy high-capacity hard

907
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:46,400
drive that spins at lower RPMs in order to make it reliable enough to deliver

908
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:51,640
that kind of capacity it speeds at 7200 RPM it's available in 2 3 4 5 and six

909
01:06:49,599 --> 01:06:55,839
terabyte capacity points it has 128 megabytes of cache it can feature a SATA

910
01:06:53,400 --> 01:07:04,400
6 GB per second interface and up to a SAS 12 GB per second interface it does

911
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:07,920
not rely on being helium filled like

912
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:09,559
Tachi 6 tbte drive and Seagate is using

913
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:14,039
what they're calling their eighth generation perpendicular magnetic

914
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:20,079
Recording Technology and what the register is has figured is five platters

915
01:07:17,799 --> 01:07:24,880
to achieve this Milestone

916
01:07:21,599 --> 01:07:26,160
um great I guess I mean it's going to be

917
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:30,839
really cool for for people who want to have lots of storage I think that for

918
01:07:28,599 --> 01:07:34,880
quite a while it was stagnant to the point where I kind of went okay what is

919
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:39,680
what is the upgrade path for someone who has a dual Bay Nas because we've only

920
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:43,960
gone from like one terabyte to three terabytes in the last little while and

921
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:46,880
like it's gotten to the point now where you don't look at that and go okay

922
01:07:45,279 --> 01:07:50,720
that's triple the capacity you look at that and go like oh that's only 2

923
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:54,319
terabytes more and I'm I'm accumulating data at such a rate that it's not

924
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:58,799
necessarily enough I mean to me this is exciting because it is a legitimate

925
01:07:56,720 --> 01:08:03,079
upgrade for someone who bought sweet spot you know two terabyte drives quite

926
01:08:01,319 --> 01:08:06,839
some time ago where now they can triple their capacity and that means adding a

927
01:08:04,799 --> 01:08:11,319
full eight more terabytes of storage to their setup um but other than that I got

928
01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:16,920
don't know I guess it's another hard drive it's going to support you know

929
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:21,000
encryption it's um it's oh okay what's cool is they are

930
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:26,359
going to have one available right off the Hop that is rated for 24/7 operation

931
01:08:23,839 --> 01:08:30,159
and some ludicrous number RS per year I think it was something like

932
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:33,600
500 uh hold on I don't want to I don't want to quote this wrong because I've

933
01:08:31,279 --> 01:08:38,960
made up enough things on this show 550 terabytes per year so that's Enterprise

934
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:42,080
class types of workloads right there so that's that's exciting I guess but those

935
01:08:40,839 --> 01:08:46,560
drives will continue to be more expensive than most consumers will be

936
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:49,960
willing to spend I guess for me it's just I guess it's a shot in the ARM for

937
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:56,719
mechanical storage because especially now that we're getting one terabyte ssds

938
01:08:52,279 --> 01:08:58,960
in that dangerous $500 price range it's

939
01:08:56,719 --> 01:09:03,600
starting to look pretty tough to justify a hard drive as your boot drive if

940
01:09:00,839 --> 01:09:07,319
you're someone who's you know buying a reasonably high performance computer now

941
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:10,279
our next topic this was originally posted on the Forum by querty Warrior

942
01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:18,000
thank you very much and the original article is from next PowerUp beta is

943
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:22,239
Project Ara some more details emerge

944
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:26,159
Project Ara um has received a module

945
01:09:22,239 --> 01:09:27,960
developer kit 1.0 release that has outed

946
01:09:26,159 --> 01:09:32,839
some of the guidelines so it does a couple of things here is it shows off

947
01:09:30,319 --> 01:09:35,880
what we can expect a project R smartphone to look like so we've got a

948
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:40,359
side view where they show what the screen and in this case looks like

949
01:09:38,239 --> 01:09:45,560
speaker and front camera module will look like and how it will be sandwiched

950
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:50,920
sandwiched with the rear modules which can be sizes like this so 1X two 2x two

951
01:09:48,839 --> 01:09:55,840
or 1 by one which will contain things like uh processors batteries and all

952
01:09:53,560 --> 01:10:00,679
kinds of cool stuff like that and more importantly than anything else this um

953
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:07,199
MDK 1.0 news reveals that an aura phone if

954
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:11,800
you have a couple of batteries on it will actually be capable of staying

955
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:15,800
powered on not only while you swap a battery like right now that's the phone

956
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:20,679
feature to have and that's like why Samsung keeps building plastic phones is

957
01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:24,360
uh a user replaceable battery so that if you run out you could switch it out well

958
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:30,560
Project Ara phones I should probably stop stop calling it Project R so while

959
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:32,920
an ARA phone will allow you to hot swap

960
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:37,800
a battery so you will actually be able to leave the phone on while you replace

961
01:10:35,480 --> 01:10:40,400
your battery with something else or or like if you got like a couple batteries

962
01:10:39,159 --> 01:10:44,520
on you just be like yeah I'll pop this one off and put a replacement on there

963
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:47,600
run off this one in the meantime that is really really cool there are some more

964
01:10:46,199 --> 01:10:51,520
guidelines so they're saying that the module should have a smooth flat Pebble

965
01:10:49,679 --> 01:10:55,600
form and they are saying that we can expect to see three different form

966
01:10:53,000 --> 01:11:02,360
factors mini medium and large which will presumably be some kind of a fablet and

967
01:10:57,679 --> 01:11:04,640
is coming later after mini and medium

968
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:07,800
size our next topic and this will actually be our last topic this has been

969
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:11,560
a fairly concise show I've gotten through everything that I really had uh

970
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:14,760
planned fairly quickly here this was posted by Alex Goes high on the Forum

971
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:21,480
and the original article is from The Verge and Google will for one day let

972
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:24,640
anyone in the US by glass it will come

973
01:11:21,480 --> 01:11:27,080
with a free um shade in addition to the

974
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:33,080
Google Glass itself and it will be available for we are let me have a look

975
01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:37,760
Google is about to make okay I don't see any confirmation here includes of

976
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:42,440
Explorer Program expansion on April 15th yep there we go so it will include a

977
01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:47,080
free frame or shade with the purchase and it will cost $1,500 just like it has

978
01:11:45,440 --> 01:11:52,239
for everyone who's joined the Explorer Program now I actually bought a Google

979
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:54,199
Glass not that long ago um and so if

980
01:11:52,239 --> 01:11:58,360
there's anyone in Canada or outside of the US who wants to buy mine off me

981
01:11:56,679 --> 01:12:02,520
because quite frankly I didn't end up using it pretty much at all it's

982
01:12:00,480 --> 01:12:07,560
extremely uncomfortable for me I'll be willing to sell mine for500 and I'll

983
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:12,280
throw in I have uh I have a clear lens and I have a shaded lens and it's in

984
01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:17,280
basically prisin condition I've hardly touched the thing so there you go Google

985
01:12:14,440 --> 01:12:22,760
I'm one uping you by allowing someone anywhere in the world on the 11th not

986
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:27,040
the 15th to pay $1,500 for a Google glass instead I'm just trying to recoup

987
01:12:25,480 --> 01:12:30,520
my my money on it cuz I just found it too uncomfortable to use the problem

988
01:12:28,480 --> 01:12:35,600
that a lot of people don't have but for me is a big issue is the way that it

989
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:39,800
sits on your ears because my ears are not level on my head so when I hold my

990
01:12:37,600 --> 01:12:43,400
head uppr right my ears are wonky it's hard to tell unless I'm wearing glasses

991
01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:47,639
but all glasses sit on me like this and what happens with Google Glass is that

992
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:51,880
that puts the Display Way outside of where I can actually read the things so

993
01:12:49,239 --> 01:12:54,920
I just I was going to do a review on it but I was just like you know what screw

994
01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:58,920
it this is so uncomfortable it hurts after after like half an hour I'm not

995
01:12:57,280 --> 01:13:03,199
finding it useful cuz I can't even see the thing so forget it and I intended to

996
01:13:01,480 --> 01:13:07,120
flip it like ages ago and then I never got around to it so this is as good an

997
01:13:04,639 --> 01:13:13,120
opportunity as any so I'll be doing that uh on the garage sale after wow

998
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:15,840
here and I think wow I think that might

999
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:23,120
be pretty much it I planned to have Luke join me um to call into the show for you

1000
01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:28,400
