yeah our obs is still super duper broken
but it seems like our audio levels are okay
yeah so i think we are in pretty good shape to just
just power on through there and the live
chat is amazed that we're on time
there's there's even some expletives that's how surprised they are
you know who you have to thank for us being on time today
who do we give credit samsung Colton oh
both let's give both samsung and Colton credit so we've got a lot of great
topics for you guys today t-mobile was sued after uh cryptocurrency theft yep
office 2019 is only going to run on Windows 10 apparently no
although does this one include could you be slightly less of a hater
i'm so worried like would it actually kill you that my office from 2010 is
still going to work it could be everything that is less of a hater that's so unfortunate that it's going to
be totally fine apple suffered a significant source code leak
and Intel is uh they've got this vaughn project
that's like smart glasses but like smarter than previous glasses but like
super smart but not that like techie but like there's a lot of tech in them but
like you won't see it yeah and uh anyway we'll get to that and the show today is
brought to you by
super ultra wide gaming whoa
let's roll that intro do you think the intro will work i mean we're on time could the intro really work on the same
day that we're on i believe yeah
it's amazing it's almost like we had
Colton down here fixing everything before we started
oops i'm trying to type http colon slash now it's all like http colon colon slash
that wouldn't work why do you even write the whole thing
out because then it automatically hyperlinks and oh what did i just do
what just happened no it's fine everything's fine
for those of you who aren't already playing WAN Show bingo
now would probably be a good time to start i wonder i wonder if they already
have luke laughs annoyingly loud that seems to be a pretty that's like a free
score maybe yeah that should just be the middle square the freebie middle squares
that were late is it really i'm pretty sure no
oh wow so it's going to be a lot harder to get absolutely wrecked everyone owned
oh man i feel like i only talked to you during rancho we didn't even manage to
do lunch this week no but we're doing dinner on sunday are we oh fun don't
forget that right that's important you need to be there
look i go places when i'm supposed to be at them
i'm just making sure can i be late probably okay
now everything will be fine then we don't have a problem then we'll
be there bud that's a good call
um so yeah this is this is really cool i will actually be meeting for the first
time in person and some of them even digitally the team that has been working
on Floatplane which technically i'm like sort of in charge of
on sunday yeah and it's going to be super exciting because we are getting to
the point now where everyone is still frantically working on getting this
thing going do you know how many messages i have gotten about people like cody's
lab having their channels disabled yeah
and just like generally people expressing frustration with youtube yeah
and being like yo like are you guys still working on flow
plane like are you guys going to let other creators on the platform because this seems like it would be a good thing
for the creators we know we're on it we're trying i will say this
for the people that are already subscribed there will be something very
cool posted on the 28th oh really
in text form in text form on the site what are you
even talking about i'm gonna announce the thing and tell them they can go use
it oh oh cool okay but it's just gonna be for
like them and stuff so so yeah so i've um yeah believe it or not i'm already in
touch with cody um and we've we've
chatted about things and apparently the problem this time um i
was watching his video the problem this time was his video where he shows how
you can make your own gunpowder by
um i don't know what the process is called because i'm not nearly as
sciencey as cody so i apologize and it's just that's very sciencey dude i like
this stuff but like uh um
i don't know it wouldn't be like distilling because you're just taking
like the leftover sediment i think whatever something
he took his own pee and left it for like 18 months and then
extracted the nitrates from it in some way and made gunpowder which is amazing
but technically explosives manufacturing
but ah i don't i've always been up for years yeah
and like i kind of have a soft spot for like sciency stuff yeah cause like if
you had a science textbook from school
you're going to be able to figure that kind of stuff i'm like look he's in america
what what he did was no more like what he manufactured
was no more dangerous than what you could get by hitting a screecharoo with
a hammer and dumping the contents out onto the table or just going to walmart
and buying it i bet you can just buy it at walmart gunpowder i doubt it but you
can get it for oh but you could just buy like refilling i guess uh oh can you
just buy gunpowder i don't know if you can i know you can just buy it i don't know if you can just buy it from walmart
buy gun powder walmart this video is not gonna
be monetized um reloading walmart yeah
but it's probably black powder black powder really which i don't think
is technically gun powder i don't know if it would be
black powder because i think gunpowder is technically white powder i mean black
powder rifles are like i am not yeah so we've got uh hops number nine black
powder gun bore cleaner and patch lubricant
um we got a powder coated thing no i don't know i don't think they sell okay
okay um they've got cleaning cleaning stuff for black powder i think black
powder is fair a fair bit easier to obtain i don't remember exactly what the
difference is it still goes boom something matters it
does go boom but in a different way yeah in a different way um
so anyway we've had a lot of people contacting us about it right so where
was i going with this um
yeah right right right so it's technically explosives manufacturing but in the same
sense that when i crossed the border and didn't declare the fire shut up
the black cats and i forget what else i had but i had
like honestly the sticks are like this big so
in the same sense that i was technically
transporting explosives across the border
which canadian border services was not
less stoked on as canadian border services
tend to call it when they are le stokes
yeah we are not less stoked um
like it is yeah
but it's also not because it's like not dangerous like you
could you could have a black cat go off on your hand and it'd be like ow
crap that was dumb but i'm fine they're a little bit stronger than like an
individual mighty mite like come on
why are they illegal in canada this was my form of protest okay
i was protesting samsung is not going to be impressed
with this show that they're tuning into at this point Colton's like
you guys you guys samsung's watching the show
but that's okay that's okay this was my form of protest okay yeah um
and i they were like you know we can keep your car right
and back then my car was worth at least a few hundred dollars
and i legitimately couldn't afford to just
like replace it yeah yeah whereas now the replacement cost on my car would be
significantly lower than that yeah um
so i was like oh really i could actually have you ever felt the blood running out
of your face yeah yeah yeah and i can completely imagine how in that moment
that would happen i felt the blood drain out of my face and it was not a
good thing okay it was not a good thing to be fair
usually in moments like that for me it's the opposite i usually feel just like
you go flush yeah interesting okay so i'll get that with
anger but not with fear
i think yeah i think my response is usually similar okay
yeah so for me the fear response is the is the blanching i think it's called
blanching um sure and then the angry response i'll get like the like the
headache like the throbby head it's the only one
it's like i don't get scared i'm just kidding
well i think you clapped for twenty years
part of the response though is part of that is uh flea right
fight or flight what what i never realized
that one of your defining characteristics is a loud obnoxious
laugh yes and your handle is laffer is your name
abbreviated to laugh yeah was that
because your gaming buddies hated your laugh in their microphone ears it is
literally partially that wow also because that's just my last name short
right but that's that's the double entendre yes yes
you know what you know what sorry samsung we're ending
the show now because that's enough that's enough knowledge
bombs for one win show forget it i'm done
the whole chat is just like wow wow
can you tell there's no news this
week um actually you know what we we do have something really important okay
let's actually do a news topic yeah the greatest news the most important news
yeah um this is actually kind of a big deal um so i don't actually know if this
is in the dock but this is right off of the creator blog um so the source for
this news topic is actually uh our youtube rep who was like
so can you post it in the chat you should
probably be aware of this at some point um i think we're at five no no it's not
it wasn't like that it was just like you should know what's going on you guys should know what's going on because hey
we're trying to do a better job of communicating with creators and be more
transparent and all that stuff and like it's you know it's really cool that we
have a creator rep now because for a long time even when i thought we were
kind of big enough to justify one we didn't but we do
so you know honestly i'm gonna read big chunks of this at a time because you
guys probably aren't going to go off and read it and the message is really really
important so the title of the article on the blog is
preventing harm to the broader youtube community because honestly
a lot of the reaction to some of the creators recently whether we're talking
spider-man and elsa crap
or whether we're talking about you know people who are promoting hate or whether
we're talking about people who are creating um
content that is culturally insensitive and just straight inappropriate
there has been there have been a lot of reactions from
youtubers that honestly i have to confess i never felt this way
i never really felt like i was being lumped in and did you
no i think we've had a pretty good
like reaction so i never felt like i was being lumped in with
with destructive we do creators with tech youtube
that's true but we are sectioned off i got referred to as a tech bro yeah for
the first time actually a couple of weeks ago and that was enlightening for
me because i'd never heard the term before apparently i haven't heard tech bro but i do know that we're in the tech
side okay we are fairly segmented so so we don't really feel any way like we get
lumped in with the broader youtuber community but there were a lot of
reactions from people going like whoa whoa whoa hey hold on a second um
you know i'm getting a lot of vitriol i'm getting a lot of negative feedback
here yo not all youtubers are willing to or
or feel like it's right to to play this game where it's all about the shock
value for views yeah like in fact a lot of us really want nothing
to do with that please do not lump us in
but the reality of it is is that as soon as whether it's a really dangerous or a
really hurtful prank or whether it is something like the
incident in japan when that kind of stuff hits the
mainstream media and i mean mainstream media not as like
a derogatory term i mean like tv when it
hits people who don't live and breathe
online video content like we do i can see how people might generalize oh
it's another youtuber in the news it's easy to do that doing something stupid
it's easy for views and for money yeah right
so i get that and so ultimately this is
this is youtube's reaction to this um
recently we faced situations situations
like this is not an isolated incident so they had to do something where the
egregious actions of a handful of youtubers harmed the reputation of the
broader creator community among advertisers the media industry and most
importantly the general public and in light of this behavior and our commitment to tighten our policies and
communicate them more quickly and transparently double thumbs up for me for that thank
you that sounds good we're introducing new consequences to apply in the rare
event when one creator's actions harm the entire community because in the past
pretty much all they could do was issue a strike for a copyright violation or a
violation of the community guidelines or they would pull the monetization
usually just from an individual video where something got reported and was
reviewed by a human and found or even not reviewed by a human for the last
little bit that's been a whole other fiasco um and they would pull the
monetization but usually just from one video so now they're saying when one
creator does something particularly blatant like a heinous prank where
people are traumatized or they promote violence or hate or demonstrate cruelty
or sensationalize the pain of others in an attempt to gain views or subscribers
that can cause lasting damage to the community including viewers creators in
the outside world so they're saying that's why they want to make sure that
the actions of a few don't impact the 99.9 percent who use their channels to
connect with fans and build a thriving business yeah and
even though i didn't think about it initially as us being lumped in with you
know other youtubers you know in much the same way that you know a talk show
host might not necessarily have gone oh because you know back in the back in the
early 2000s when tom green was kind of running around yeah doing crazy stuff or
you know you look at you know guys like van margara from uh he joined jackass at
some point i think i knew him when he was cky or something like that before
yeah yeah i don't know whatever their their group was called before that one of my friends had it was a vhs
anyway one of my friends had one of their tapes and i had kind of watched it
and going okay i guess you're into that that's cool i've never really got into it but um
anyway the point is like i can see like
while some other talk show host might not have gone oh i'm at risk of being
grouped in that doesn't necessarily fly with
youtube and it did seem to be happening so you know i'm glad as one of the 99.9
percent who do use our channel i feel like
constructively i'm glad that they are doing this
so here is the stick that they're brandishing because
ultimately it's not like any of these community guidelines or advertiser
friendly guidelines for monetization are new it's just that they didn't really
have like a like a thing they were gonna hit you
with if you didn't adhere to them
yes i'm sorry that was probably terrible my bad
so number one
premium monetization programs promotion and content development partnerships
so they may remove a channel from google preferred and also suspend cancel or
remove a creator's youtube original and that's something that they already did
as a reaction to one of the recent occurrences people argued they didn't do
it fast enough but i am personally of the mind that
doing the right thing eventually
is still good and we're not talking they didn't do it
fast enough like they finished the entire season
and shipped the whole thing and then just like didn't renew it like
they cancelled it so it took them a few days and like they could have done
better but you got to understand too a company like google is a big ship like
when you are trying to make a decision like
giving the boot to one of your top creators it's
there's multiple people maybe people are like traveling when the whole thing goes
down and they get to like get back to the office to talk about this i know
you're being vague for a point but you even lost me slightly here in terms of
like which which program was canceled logan paul his youtube red i didn't even
know he had one yeah okay yeah cool okay okay
number two i had no idea i thought you were talking
about when it happened to pewdiepie i was like not all this completely lines up no okay monetization and creator
support privileges we may suspend a channel's ability to serve ads all
together not just on the video their ability to earn revenue
and potentially remove a channel from the youtube partner program outright
including creator support and access to youtube spaces
number three video recommendations
this those other two are like huge those are
those are whatever like they're yes they they're meaningful but like really
youtube spaces what were there like three they saved the most important one
for last yeah they saved the most this this one i would have put this one first
if i was like trying to make a point yeah holy crap this is a big deal
video recommendations we may remove a
channel's eligibility to be recommended
on youtube such as appearing on the home page trending tab or watch
next that's like you're done whoa
like that is basically
a shadow ban would be the closest parallel it like not directly but
sort of there the amount of people that go directly to people's channels to watch
videos is low even if you're like oh i do that you're probably in the more
hardcore of audiences it it doesn't happen that much the the
other thing too is that especially as you as you okay
so to the lay person the average person a big subscriber number seems really
important on youtube like i'm actually in the process of um you know what i i
want to be intentionally really vague here i'm in the process of either trying
to sell or buy a youtube channel right now
and the person that i'm either trying to sell to or buy from
is attributing a value to this particular asset don't
worry about it uh do you i know what's going on oh okay okay but that's just
like don't worry about it vague to the point of like being aggressive
okay all right okay so they're trying to attribute a value to this item
that is all kind of around the subscriber number
and i can see how to the average person that
would make sense and on the low end of the scale like when
we're talking the first thousand first ten thousand subscribers yeah
that actually matters a channel with ten thousand subscribers
is an order of magnitude more valuable than one with a thousand yeah and that's
maybe true of a hundred thousand but probably not we're probably we're
probably losing we're probably hitting the tailing off of that and the the
reason for that is that subscribers
they're not actually that loyal of watchers which is a
combination of youtube's algorithmic way that they serve videos to them and
people just like moving on like in their lives like there's people who subscribe
to Linus tech tips literally nine years ago yeah like they subscribed when they
were 15. and you're now 24. maybe you
still watch maybe you do and that's super cool but maybe in the time between
grade 9 or 10 and graduating a university or college
or trade program potentially having a baby potentially having a child and a
job maybe at some point in that time
your interest faded you just kind of stopped watching youtube stopped serving
you the videos and you just didn't care
and that's fine so once you reach a certain scale what ultimately drives
viewership and i'm talking like more than half
for big channels that depend on virality and sharing and and uh especially if you
depend on virality and sharing there's some channels that will have multiple
videos that are over a million views but they have like 20 000 subscribers yep
and especially if you've been taking advantage of some of the recent algorithmic tricks like creating
feedback loops between yours and your brother's channel say for example um
it was very effective if you get dropped from recommended
that ultimately stops the chain reaction
and it's like you sell things only out of a brick and mortar store and they
took your store away like you might still be able to sell some things to
people that are going to like go through the process of going to your house or like you know what no hold on your store
is still there but you can't find it in the phone book
or like on the internet and anyone who shops at it isn't allowed to tell anyone
about it yeah like yeah literally just foot traffic um
so that's really really interesting and
a huge move from youtube that uh
i think is is uh you know what i i don't know if i could say
um anything more supportive than what i've
said which is why i'm gonna get into the stuff that's maybe a little bit not as
supportive the danger here
is that they have laid out
here's what they've said when one creator does something
particularly blatant like conducts a heinous prank where people are
traumatized promotes violence or hate towards a group demonstrates cruelty or
sensationalizes the pain of others in an attempt to gain views or subscribers
um we are going to
create this in rare instances they do say we created this broader set of tools
that can be used more quickly and effectively than our current system of guidelines and strikes so they are
basically saying that outside of the guidelines and the strike system which
are very sort of clearly laid out they have additional
harder tools that they can apply what sounds like to me they've laid out
examples but this sounds like pretty much at their discretion
which means that there are going to be some people out there who toe the line
pretty closely between satire
and hate speech or
political commentary and
um whatever and i worry about like
misquoting and i worry about things being taken out of
context i worry about the general culture we have of um
you know professional offense to anything and i
do there is genuine offense which is kind of what they're talking about but
then and one of the things that i have defended youtube over in the past is
their right to remove monetization
from something that they don't feel is appropriate for their platform and their
advertisers that is absolutely within their right and while others have gone
and and yelled censorship censorship
that is not censorship yeah what is
getting a lot closer to censorship
is refusing to recommend or provide
placement on the site for something that they deem
inappropriate at the same time yes at
the same time it is a private platform and it is well within their right but
that's why i said it's a lot closer yeah not allowing
someone to make money and make you look bad to your advertisers
that's a no-brainer no one should have been calling that censorship sorry
but saying look you're not going to get placement on the home page you're not going to get
recommended to people we're going to take away these mechanisms we're not
going to treat your content neutrally
okay now we're not talking about monetization we're talking about cutting
off your actual voice again it's a technically a private
platform a private platform it's not a government run and it's absolutely
within their right yeah so it is not censorship in that sense at all
but it is an interesting step if nothing
else and it's uh one of the side effects of having a free
completely open platform hey
anyways we'll talk about float planes
all right so um there you go guys that's kind of wow
that actually ended up taking up like half the freaking show which is probably
good which is probably fine because that was kind of the biggest thing that
happened at least in our corner of the internet this week
um when i got that in my inbox i just
just about freaked out because i was like oh no
because all i read was the the subject line first i was like oh crap you know
what what fresh hell is coming for us now on the
on the platform what are they cracking down all this
time all right well why don't we why don't we jump into something that's just a little
bit a little bit more chillaxed okay uh
Intel made some smart glasses that might
actually not make you look like a dummy yeah hey
look at that they look pretty normal okay other than the number which i'm
sure is just an engineering sample like number thing okay that might stay i'm
not sure about okay but this is Intel's new bond smart glasses the original
article here is from the verge and they're
they are a total departure from google
glass which uh led to the uh the up the uprising of the
glass holes yeah well because and reasons why you don't see any physical
hardware on it and there is not a camera there's no buttons um it is a screen it
says it doesn't have a screen because i believe it's sorry sorry no
okay okay technically no screen in the
traditional sense yes yeah there's there's no speaker and there's no
microphones and there you can't talk to and it can't talk there is no touch area
no so it has none of these things they look
and feel just like regular glasses
um this is this is really the line that
summarizes it best and this is from one of Intel's developers
we really believe that it can't have what they're calling a social cost can
you imagine the focus group that sat around and coined the term social cost
yeah how many of the things you do have a
social cost luke how many of the things you do don't have
a solution yeah i was just gonna say like everything i don't know
so and this is continuing the quote if it's
if it's weird if you look geeky if you're tapping i'm screwed looking at it
then we've lost okay so avant is just a system for just
displaying a small heads-up display in your peripheral vision it can show
simple messages like directions or notifications it works over bluetooth
with Android or iOS phones like your smartwatch taking commands from an app
on your phone and the display this is cool is projected into your eye
by a frickin laser that shines a red
monochrome image which is amazing somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 by
150 pixels onto a holographic reflector
on the glass's right lens one of the reasons why i love this is the red
monochrome brings it all the way back to virtual boy sorry continue
that image is then reflected into the back of your eyeball directly onto the
retina yeah the laser is so low power that it
doesn't even need to be certified oh goodness it's at the
it's at the very bottom of a class one laser that's not a good thing so i'm
sure it's fine because it's directly shining on the back of your retina the
image is always in focus works equally
uh on prescription glasses and non-prescription lenses works indoors
and outside is discrete beyond a faint red shimmer at like very specific angles
now is that in the picture that's there is that the red or is that from the
camera i think they might be over selling it in the picture
or is that just a reflection from the camera um you know what let me let me
have a let me have a quick poo here because they're saying that it's only
from certain angles that it'll be visible i don't think that's from the camera i think oh you know what i don't
actually know here you guys can you guys it's hard to tell whoops
uh no i don't think that's this is a little
video you want to play it no because i don't want to use their video okay yeah
um that's fair also that's a sticker
yeah okay so yeah that that qr code definitely won't stay there
so yeah the electronics are located entirely up near the face of the frames
um and so that the rest of the stems even the frame itself can flex a little
just like a regular pair of glasses and um
the batteries are wow where are the batteries huh
okay all custom hardware including the silicon
so it has bluetooth an app processor an accelerometer and a compass so it can
detect some basic head gestures oh come on
no social cost but like do you remember the head gestures with
google glass
thanks dude uh one kind of interesting thing is that it will just kind of tie
in with other stuff one of their notes here is you're
you're in the kitchen faulty towers uh lionel twitchin
yeah yeah yeah yeah uh you're no social costume you're
cooking you ask alexa uh or sorry the notes in here
a-l-e-x-a but you ask alexa i need recipes for cookies and bam apparently
just shows up in your glasses so because you can't talk to it it can't talk to
you but theoretically that will help you
okay yeah yeah so you can talk to other things you can use it that way
so um yeah i wish some luck with that i definitely want to try them i suspect
they're going to be super useless at the beginning like pretty much anything
smart yep but um yeah this is the direction that i think both of us have
been saying they have to go though yeah they have to look like normal glasses yeah everything has to be normal
like you're smart like you know all of these all these like
fitness trackers and sleep trackers like until i can put it on
and wear it for a week without taking it off at all it's not
collecting anywhere near enough useful data and it should take like half an
hour to charge like it has to actually become part of your life yeah um
speaking of becoming part of your life this episode of the wayne show is
brought to you by samsung we actually have to like move out of the
frame to show this entire monitor this is
this is a Linus for scale it's huge
so this is their 49 inch chg
90. this is a q-led monitor and it is
the largest gaming monitor on the market
at 49 inches with a 32 by 9 aspect ratio
and it is equal to two 27 inch
widescreen monitors put together like remember guys we have
seen wide monitors that are like two monitors
put together before but they were like two five by four monitors yeah now we
have two widescreen monitors with no bezel whatsoever and it's got an 1800 r
curvature that gives you a very immersive feel
so um like some curved monitors didn't need it this one did and it works really
well so things people could use it for actually we've had this demo running
pretty much the whole time but super widescreen gaming whether you want
uh like a more full view of your cockpit or whether you want better peripheral
vision in something like a shooter you can see they've got a demo of things
that you might not be able to see if you were gaming on a regular monitor versus
a 16x9 um for me looking at something
like this i go yeah productivity because i'm a big fan of well first widescreen
so first 16 by 10 yeah then i grew to like 16 by nine once the monitors got
bigger and you had to because there's no more 16 by 10. then when they went wider i
was a fan of that so if you're finding that your current
monitor is not wide enough or you have a dual 16x9 widescreen monitor and you
don't want the bezel anymore then i could see this for productivity absolutely
one of the things that Colton had actually pitched was playing games in
windowed mode in the middle and having like your
twitch chat oh yeah yeah on the side yeah yeah
what Colton i remembered i remembered what you said
okay Colton you can have obs or whatever on the other side like all your tools obs your
your tipping software all that kind of stuff you have the chat on the other side so you can run the whole thing on
one monitor um and it's got all the usual gaming features that you'd expect
it runs at 144 hertz
right keep rolling over this Ethernet cable um it's got support for HDR it
uses quantum dot technology which basically gives you better color
reproduction and better contrast it's got AMD freesync 2 which i think the in
a nutshell version of that is that it's freesync but with like HDR and then i
think like better freesync ranges and stuff like AMD's freesync standard is a
little loosey-goosey so freesync 2 i think basically means freesync i know i
noticed HDR yeah um it features one millisecond response times
and uh to celebrate samsung's appearance on twitch oh this is cool all samsung
gaming monitors including this one the 49-inch qled are on sale from now until
february 24th just go to link.twitch.tv
samsung and check it out today so thanks to samsung for sponsoring this episode
and also twitch for featuring us on the freaking uh
front page there there's like 26 000 people watching that cranked up average
viewers just just a little bit i got i got the pressure on me right now i got
pressure on me i don't know what you're talking about just come over here and do it what what's your what's your problem
Colton what's your what's your problem can we move this little well you can move it a little but you're probably
you're probably killing everybody's ears right now a twitch staff just sent us
bits hey no way that's freaking awesome
yeah what is
you're killing me Colton i think it's fine i don't think it does anything from this distance anyway all right
so oh don't touch the mic don't touch the
mic all right so let's move into some other
good stuff here oh oh uh okay i'm sorry
i know this is a real downer for you what um i'm really sorry to bring this

and office 2019 i'm heartbroken
it's going to ship in the second half of 2018 which makes perfect sense of course
already and it will only be available for
Windows 10. that really see that just bugs me it bugs me too much i can't
handle it so this is what i want to know
okay okay
okay so we have office 365 subscriptions for our office yeah um
so it's always like installing these updates
what do they do
and i'm not trying to i'm not trying to be a jerk or anything
but literally the only thing that has changed about the office installation on
my computer in the last year has been that now when i go to open it a
lot of the time it just crashes instantly and doesn't open
and i'm not the only one in the office having this problem
and it's gotten better in the last few days but they didn't apply an update so
i don't know what's going on
i don't know why so like it's word
and excel so what is it that office doesn't
already do yeah like we are also okay we're not power
users yeah and especially of excel i'm sure there's
people that are like i want this new feature because excel is a really deep
powerful program yes yes yes yes yes but
i don't know man uh anyway okay fine let's let's let's go through our talking
points here an update by microsoft on the 1st of
february noted that it will arrive and it will only run blah blah blah
microsoft says software that is more than a decade old
and hasn't benefited from this innovation is difficult to secure and
inherently less productive it's definitely not less productive it's
way less productive to use Windows 10. as the pace of change accelerates it has
become imperative to move our software to a more modern cadence
okay i can okay i can understand part of this
is okay they're cutting off all the other ones because that sounds like they're
talking about Windows 7. it won't be shipping with the older MSI installer
the apps will all use the click to run installer
which is commonly used by office 365. here's a gripe about office 365. wow
microsoft is going to be taking a beating during this particular thing so
it's not because i'm an idiot if i set some time aside to deal with it i'm sure
i could figure it out it wouldn't take me that long but i have a skype account
but skype and skype for business shouldn't be called they shouldn't both
have skype in the name because they are completely different pieces of software
oh yeah running on completely different backgrounds
backgrounds back ends for completely different purposes other than that
they're both for communication so i have a skype account
and i have skype for business on my computer because it is installed with
office 365. now here's a problem on my desktop
skype for business automatically launches every time i turn on my
computer because like i i had to use some some external company that i had to
have a call with use the skype for business and that was the only thing i
could use so i had to get skype for business
discord's really hard never ended up actually like getting logged into it
because that was when i figured out this whole oh that account doesn't work for
that one okay i guess i'll uh okay i don't know what to do and for some
reason my account that i used to log in for my admin console that doesn't work
for it so i like i just wasn't sure what it was
but it's set to automatically launch and skype i don't know if you've ever
encountered this doesn't allow you to change any settings
of the program including auto launch preferences
unless you log in yeah so every time my computer restarts
because of an automated Windows update even if i didn't want it thank you very
much and i know i could change i know i could change it i know i know but updates are
actually important they are every time i do it
skype for business launches and you can't just right click and then close
skype at the bottom you get to like right click the thing and then did you
quit skype are you sure yes i'm are you
sure you want to quit skype yes i'm sure
so that's a complaint about office 365 that i'm sure there's an easy solution
too with a registry edit but i just haven't had like every time my computer reboots
i'm like oh i need to like do something like i sit down on my computer because i
have to use it not because i feel like tooling around with skype this is my
work computer um anyway my thing is just the the constantly
reinitiated telemetry stuff where you turn it all off and then they're like
Windows update it's back on get owned um
is pretty annoying there's some new telemetry stuff where they're like telling you what they're sending or
something i haven't looked into it but john john did a as fast as possible
they're just still doing it though um so there's that
and then like there's things that i just really don't like about the usability of
it that adds a lot of steps like we talked not that long ago about the network thing the networks and there is
like an easier way but they just like moved it and i didn't feel like there
was a compelling less conventional now uh like there's a lot there's more
clicks there's more steps they're really heavy ui elements
some people might think they look good you're such a nurse really don't they
have heavy ui elements which which you're right about but yeah it's just
such a nerd complaint but they break a lot these ui elements very heavy and
there is design issues with them like you didn't know those were buttons
yes like also the start menu being broken for it
has been good for a long time now by the way but the start menu being broken for
literally over a year was laughable yeah like basic functionality just hasn't
been there so i've been staying off but they're talking about things more than a
decade old software that is more than a decade old so they're talking about Windows 7.
yeah yeah because that's what a huge amount of users are still using because
Windows 10 has many problems um
what about the other ones did you just forget that you released other operating
systems yeah apparently that aren't that old 8.1 is like not bad yeah yeah
especially the embedded one yeah we use 8.1 embedded on our final render server
the one that actually has an overclocked
10 core extreme edition in it because that's server right and water cooling
in a 2u don't worry about it anyway the point is
we use 8.1 embedded i don't think that machine has ever failed in export no
and b the embedded versions are awesome and then the the like proper chopped
down version of Windows 10 they don't want you to buy it you have
to be on a subscription you're only allowed it was the same with 8.1 it was
almost impossible to get it yeah the only reason we got it was because we know someone who knows someone who
obtained a key yeah um it is what it is i mean by and large the best version of
their operating system they're just like no you guys don't get it by and large we
run legit versions of Windows we have office 365 microsoft gets a ton of our
money but maybe this will get me in trouble i
guess but on that one machine i am running a copy of Windows that i
didn't buy because i can't buy it right yeah
if they were willing to sell it to me i would gladly pay for it yeah
anyway let's move on key iphone source code leak gets posted
online in and i quote the biggest leak in history
the biggest leak in apple history
so the source code for a core component of the iphone's operating system iboot
was posted on github so here's the implications uh thank you
shreyas1 for posting this this could give hackers an easier time finding
flaws and bugs that could allow them to crack or decrypt an iphone i don't know
how they would decrypt it given that this wouldn't tell them anything about the security element or secure element
rather um could eventually allow advanced programmers to emulate iOS on
non-apple platforms
that would be so helpful that would be freaking oh my god
that would be so good it could make iphone jailbreaks easier to achieve
it's already pretty easy am i am i over selling this no my
sadness 100 um so the github the github
code the github yeah is labeled iboot which is uh like the iphone's BIOS kind
of and the first pro it's the first process that runs on your iphone so it
loads and verifies the kernel and make sure it is properly signed by
apple then executes the code says it's for iOS 9 but portions of it are likely
still in use in iOS 11. i mean you look at any
you don't rewrite an operating system from scratch from
one year to another and apple has taken particular care to
keep iboot secure and its code private
bugs in the boot process are the most valuable ones if reported to apple
through its bounty program which values them at a max payment of 200 000 to be
clear i seriously doubt they've ever paid out 200k
and i don't they ever really will but that's the max payment you're getting
somewhere in there you're getting money yep you're getting good money uh a few
hours after the publication apple sent a dmca takedown demanding github take down
the boot code good luck with that what's that what's
that called no the what effect again uh the frey sand effect yes yes yes so
like i guarantee it's everywhere already
um yeah so they're saying the idea github might have even taken it down really
fast yeah but the second anyone saw that it was copied oh yeah and it's
everywhere like the stuxnet code if you guys remember that
that wasn't that do you remember stuxnet i want to figure out the specifics so i
don't get it wrong so you can check that well so the iboot source code is
proprietary includes an apple copyright notice it is not open source said their
their message so it first surfaced last year
apparently posted by um
a reddit user called apple underscore internals on the jailbreak subreddit the
post didn't get much attention though since the user was new and didn't have enough reddit karma
the new availability on github means it is circulating much more widely in the
underground jailbreaking community and in iOS hacking circles okay so stuxnet
was a malicious computer worm first uncovered in 2010 by kaspersky lab and
it was responsible for causing substantial damage to iran's nuclear
program oh okay it was one of the first
worms to directly cause physical
damage interesting and the code is out there i
may or may not have it in a zip like it's everywhere
okay so this is either great news if you're
into the iOS hacking scene or terrible news if you're apple and you're now
going to be trying to figure out how to basically replace this yeah because i
don't know i don't really see what they could do
other than rewrite significant portions of it to
make it very very very different um
yeah it's also a big hit to the companies like
i don't even know what to call it well their security image yeah i mean that's
one of the big things that apple trades on is that we take privacy and we take
security really seriously and we're good at this stuff this is a big hit you know
trust us with all this data including your pins and your fingerprints and your
credit card data and a facial scan trust us with all this stuff we got this
and this is a pretty big leak now in fairness to apple this type of a leak
is is very different from that type of data and the way that
they say that they handle it where it's stored in a secure element inside your
physical device and everyone gets sent to them like that's the difference
between security as a design and security as uh you know building
with you know people standing by the doors like this like a secured design is
not the same as like having good security on your campus
but it still is the kind of thing that people might not necessarily know how to
interpret um in other news
russian nuclear scientists arrested
for bitcoin mining plot this was posted
by ginger 137 on the forum and this is freaking hilarious
the arrested scientists worked at the secret factory which made the ussr's
first nuclear bomb so we're talking people that had that
security clearance okay
so do you want to go this was originally
posted on bbc they used one of russia's most powerful
super computers to mine bitcoin the supercomputer was not supposed to be
connected they tried to they tried to yeah yeah did i they said they did yeah
you said they didn't okay yeah they tried to the supercomputer was not supposed to be connected to the internet
to prevent intrusion which makes sense and once the scientists attempted to do
so the nuclear center's security department was alerted and the
scientists arrested so they really didn't get far
like at all there have been reports of some other
industrial facilities in russia being used for crypto mining and one
businessman reportedly bought two power stations for the activity
buying power stations that is next level like legitimately red
alert two that is next level red alert bitcoin edition
um so that's on your mind bitcoin use the things to build power stations mind more
bitcoin so that's pretty funny
in other news this is posted by hey yo on the forum
the original article is from cnet the first phone with it oh dang it i did
it again the first phone with a diamond screen will come in 2019
so finally diamond i did it again sorry
keep playing the intro so finally diamond will have a real
legitimate use that makes it valuable
well you know that well okay it has legitimate uses like being put on
cutting blades or whatever else the case may be or abrasives but the whole thing
with like like raw like mined diamonds
being worth lots of money that whole thing is a construct for those of you
who are watching out there who don't know i bought into it
there's a high probability that you'll buy into it or you'll have to buy into
it because someone has your ARM behind your back and they're pulling it up in a
jerk in motion um but it's a big scam
they're not worth anything they're just shiny pebbles
okay it's really valuable for putting on like saw blades i've spent literally
thousands of dollars on these shiny pebbles
and someday you might too it's a sad day it's a sad day
and you know what focus instead on the happy
day the the wedding day not the sad day with the money which is also probably a
financially sad day yeah um let's ignore that no it depends how you roll it you
guys did we made money yeah okay yeah so that's impressive most people don't most
people don't but most people did not marry my wife
okay she flipped her wedding dress for a
profit chair covers profit
centerpieces profit okay she she she flipped that [ __ ] for a
profit she's incredible
that's pretty epic yeah anyway
um the other great thing these are probably gonna be lab grown diamonds
yeah so even then the the the ones that come from the ground still suck
so um akan semiconductors mirage diamond
glass promises to be stronger than other materials used to cover a phone's
display today the diamond glass uses a nano crystal pattern i swear
nano has to be actually the biggest buzzword no blockchain
no yeah nanoblockchain no
the thing about nano is it's just a prefix yeah so it can be on nanotubes
it can be on nano cell nano freaking anything nano and block
that companies ipo nano blockchain industries okay
it all runs on your phone yeah anyway the point is it uses a nano
crystal pattern that randomly arranges the crystals instead of lining them up
along their crystal planes so that discourages deep cracks from forming and
damaging the materials underneath it can actually this is cool it can be applied
in conjunction with other materials like gorilla glass as a top layer their ceo
promised that let's see the first device by the end of 2017
twitch plays pokemon came up with the best one so far he said nano block a
nano quantum block chain yes yeah yes
thank you uh now they're aiming for 2019. so like
anything with nano in it it's delayed yeah
the technology is being actively tested with as yet undef un identified device
makers and they are stress testing its strength trying to reduce glare and
making sure the surface transmits electrical signals well so that your
fingers can navigate the touch screen without a glitch
what else we got this is all boring yeah boring
boring boring boring
this is all boring let's let's just uh let's go on the forum and find our own
news or we could talk about what's going on
Floatplane stuff oh we can also talk about that thing what thing uh the
creepy faces what are you talking about oh that oh gross where is that that's
right i can i can post it in the chat yeah post it in the chat i'll grab it
from there okay so ai is getting freaking scary now
there was a there was a period for a while there where face swaps between me
and luke were kind of a meme on the forum yeah um and you know what actually
uh send it to me in hangouts um if you can okay uh then post it in the chat and
then i'll i'll try and grab it yeah i can grab it okay um where is have you posted in the chat yet no oh okay i'm
loading up hangouts okay okay okay perfect that works so let's load up some
Linus and luke face swaps because this was some creepy stuff that was going on
for a bit there and it was it's pretty scary so you know here's one
um like that that is that is some gross that is some
gross face swappage right there um no offense to you but i'm glad i
don't have your face yeah no that yeah like as long as i think it's like always
worse in that direction um
wow like none of them are showing up they're they're a little old at this
point there was it was really trendy in like probably 20 late 2013 early 2014
huh yeah really
face swap this picture it's probably the same one
it's gone yeah wow this was like yeah 2014 early 2014
early 2014 late 23rd that was four years ago okay that's a whole other thing
right there oh my
oh my um okay
all right all right anyway anyway so
thanks to deep learning face swapping
is no longer limited to still images did
you post that in the chat i sent it to you you sent it to me okay cool let's get this i can put this down no no no
hold on hold on which one which one which one both but the first first one
first okay yeah yeah here we go here we go
here we go so check this check this out you guys it needs kind of like a second
no no yeah yeah that's fine that's fine okay so this is a normal Linus
talking to the camera this
is over 2 000 frames of data
processed with an image of luke
so it's what is it it's 2000 frames it's modeled
and then it's like processed over top to swap luke's face
onto my talking head now i think we showed on
the website a little while ago hold on one quick thing uh someone using some
footage of george w bush just kind of sitting still
and like nodding along and moved his mouth and made him say stuff yeah so
this is is a very similar technology to that so how does this work so he says i
trained my model using 2000 plus images each for you and Linus pulled frames
from Floatplane and youtube videos to gather all the data and trained my gtx
970 for 36 hours
it's just a 970 for 36 hours and a whole bunch of photos okay there's another one
there's another one it's the other way around yeah yeah
so let's pull up the Linus and loop one actually here you guys can see them side
by side here so this is my face onto luke
it is a it is a surprisingly convincing effect if the
eyes if the if the like iris was smaller
i think it would be more believable i think that's the like one thing that it screwed up
yeah and well that and the fact that like you have facial hair and i don't
and it kind of blended it yeah rather than yeah it did okay i think it
actually did a pretty good job of that it just looks unnatural for that face to
have facial hair yes it looks like this person should shave yeah
more than the other one and like you can tell like these lines are higher up on
your face so it looks a little weird but like if i'd never seen either of us
i'd have gone like okay yeah that's a dude especially at like kind of blocky
web streaming quality yeah and i did notice when looking at it myself when
comparing the two yeah i was like okay mine looks more unnatural but that's
probably because it's me looking at it
probably like i i don't know it's really interesting um i never realized how
creepy Linus's eyes were says majestic failure well they don't look like that
it's it's trying to scale it it's it screwed up slightly i think uh so the
reason why this actually showed up is because um
three different websites yeah i believe
i don't remember what they all were yeah i know one of them is discord but
they've blocked intentionally now like discord would probably block this but i know
other sites are more tuned to normally having this type of
content and they've blocked it as well but it's porn
where they've done this with like a celebrity's face yeah yeah and put it on
an actor in a scene yeah um and that's like becoming a thing and
all these different sites i believe pornhub is one of them i know discord's
one but i didn't know that was a thing anyways right and like i think there's a
couple other sites are all like nope because they don't want to deal with any of the legal issues i'm sure well yeah
especially because like guys even even ignoring the like i forget if it's
defamation or libel or slander yeah like they're all
slightly different like one of them is written and one of them's spoken or blah blah blah blah i think slander spoken
anyway the point is aside from being sued for damages over
that celebrities especially like currently
they're called deep fakes okay um like legitimately
legitimately famous ones they often are able to claim
that their image especially if it was pulled from a copyrighted work is their
ip so and you'll have a little bit because like uh with some of these things it's
community contributed content so they're protected to a certain degree but they
have to get rid of it really fast yes um so they're trying to put fairly
heavy-handed which is fair not heavy-handed in a in an unfair way
heavy-handed and this is definitely how they should do it way uh rules in place
to try to stop these things right
all right so uh i think that's pretty much it for
the show today thank you to all the 10 i can legitimately say for the first
time tens of thousands of you who are watching thanks to samsung for
sponsoring the show and we will see you again next week same bat time same batch
bye oh dang it i meant to roll the intro
floodplain oh crap stop it we're back
yeah hold on we got some cool stuff going on on the Floatplane
plane it's gonna be a folk plane no plane
uh everyone's asking about the spacex launch it was amazing you should you
should just go check it out all right uh so this we actually did a
piece of content for like real actual professionals oh
interesting modeling and cad design
which i know is redundant do you really need a xeon and a quadro we investigated
it lots of benchmarking lots of testing
lots of work good piece of content make sure you did you like work with someone
else on it um well alex okay yeah yeah don't worry that's yeah alex did it yeah
okay gaming at 120 hertz on a tv so a lot of
people don't know this but there are tvs out there already ignoring NVIDIA's bf
gds that can run at 120 hertz with very low
input lag so we tested out one of them and talk about the experience
um LTT computer that self-destructs if it's
hacked which is actually not clickbait oh it
actually self-destructs if you tamper with it through software
physically if it's a successful hack by moving it it's pretty it's pretty
hardcore but if it's a successful hack it would have no idea
okay so if you fail at hacking it yes you don't get another chance okay it's
gone all right there you go uh this one's pretty fun this is the mystic
space warrior pc can't call it jedi cause
what mystic space for you shut up no i got you at first i was just like what
and you should call that laser sword space warrior
gaben jr here uh who's actually Anthony that that that
that handle um has been pushing me
for retro content to do more retro content for a long time so we've got one
piece coming up this is the sd two uh
two snes so it's exactly what it sounds like sd card two super nintendo adapter
um and we've actually got another one coming that i don't think is up yet that
is pretty flippin cool so that's um is that cylinder embargo i think it's under
embargo forget it um and then finally this is one of the coolest videos that
we've done this year maybe one of the coolest videos we've done ever uh we
went and checked out a real nuclear fusion
prototype reactor um that's cool yeah so
they're in burnaby of all places of course there's so many crazy things of
course they're in burnaby uh oh okay okay so yeah another video we
have coming very soon but that isn't up yet is uh on the super nt from analog
they basically reverse engineered the hardware of the super nintendo super
sick which is really cool um
so so you can run snazz games in hardware on it it's not emulation
yeah um so we've got a review coming of that yeah all right okay okay we're gone
for real this time bye bye bye bye
people are like talking about twitch subs someone's like who's this
noel ferran says they don't care about twitch subs
in the twitch chat
lord sith lioness yes yes no i mean dark dark space warrior
