okay welcome to the W show for real
suckas at least that's what we think the USB controller show um the the USB
controller show okay okay so let's just let's just power through the intro here
uh AT&T shuts down their 2G network Trump singles.com make dating great
again Nintendo signals the end for the
Wii U and Gabe new confirms new IP in
halflife portal Universe I'm going to recycle the joke from last time IPv6
what are you pointing at everything you say is getting compressed everything I
say is getting compressed no no no this is uh maybe a little bit yeah I'm really
loud hey wait wait let me talk for a sec don't don't say anything okay yeah uh
okay yeah I do too also I think I have this a little closer than we did when we
were setting it up so cuz we I don't think we want literally everything we say to be compressed yeah that's fine we
can fine-tune that the main problem that we had with the audio before on the show
was that we didn't have everything configured correctly so that the
compressor settings would work now they will and I can I can walk you through it
all uh later but in the meantime well I think I sort of get it remember when I
like a month or two ago when I was like I don't think that's how that works yeah but you won't know which dials are what
so I'll just walk you through how the how the control the control command
station Works um let's go ahead and roll
the intro that doesn't have sound maybe we'll use this opportunity
to explain uh why were having audio
cutouts so guys I feel like we should do
a proper like once the intro's done thing you want to do it after the
intro's done all right CU like it's kind of cool let's do it after the intro done
okay I've got a lot of people asking me to finish the vasectomy story I'm
actually really surprised I um I really thought people were it's also
interesting not going to be that interested in that okay um yeah fine
okay so um well okay remember this is going up to YouTube so you should start
from the beginning okay okay I'll start from the beginning so uh I don't want to
have any more kids and there is actually
a lot like any medical procedure or medication there's a lot of information
and there's a lot of it's hard to research there's a lot of misinformation like there's people out
there that are just like okay so are you're neutered then like you'll have no
sex drive you'll have no hormones um but
actually it doesn't affect that stuff at all um all it does is cut off the supply
of actual sperm cells to the rest of the
and I'm I'm I'm just going to have to like use you know queasy words here you
guys because it's all about those are queasy words like off the Internet it's
all about it's all about clear communication okay so there's a lot more than just sperm in male ejaculate so you
know all of that uh all all the the man juices are still very much flowing how
you go from like proper medical terms to man juices well I I did call it
ejaculate and then man juices but see remember ejaculate would also normally
contain sperm whereas man juices are just the juices so so now the only thing
that has changed is he now has spermless yes ejaculate yes and you
absorb it back reabsorb the sperm cells so effectively my body just got more
efficient yeah you're less wasteful so
you're better recycling plant yeah that's right so so basically you get in
and um it was really weird because I didn't know best start to a w show ever
I I know for a lot of a lot of women
they prefer to have a female nurse or female doctor do like pelvic exams
papsmear all that kind of stuff but for me I um okay it it turned out to be a
female like nurse and Preparatory crew and a male doctor so whichever one made
me uncomfortable I was I was going to I was going to have that experience one
way or the other um but honestly like once I got there it
was just so umal like yeah like I'm
probably not the only person ever who's been like you know what if I pop a boner
on the operating table wouldn't that be awkward let me tell you there is
absolutely nothing there's nothing
exciting about this experience they're
like they're like okay um you know drop
trout yeah stand stand on the stool drop trout I'm like like everything they're
like yep okay but like get up on the table um
the the little kit says to to shave uh the area and I tried but
apparently I didn't do a good enough job so they fixed that for me okay
uh so there's that then they just like
iodine you up and then what had to be
the most awkward part of the whole experience like more Awkward than
and I'm going to try not to get too gory on this but like more Awkward than the
like 70 cm long string that was being
pulled through something and like kind of kind of
tightened okay so more Awkward than that the most awkward part of the experience
is the like it looks like just rubber bands tied together like like like on a
clipboard to hold a pen in place so they have like one of those
and they're just like okay so we're just going to tie this around your penis and
then they have a uh like to to hold it out of the way and then they have like a
safety pin and they just like clip it to your
shirt so it's like if you were to it's
like if you were to need to defy gravity for some reason heard this story and
it's still awesome you just like had to have like a like a like a penis
retention mechanism that holds it up
um and I'm just like okay sure that's fine I
guess so then they just kind of they they they leave you there for a little
bit and then the place that I went they just leave you there for a little bit
all pinned up while I wait for the doctor yeah because like the doctor's
time is very important this is crazy okay so the guy comes in he's in the
room with me for like six minutes okay and I'm like how many of these do you do
a do a day and he's like 50 I'm like what excuse me 5 Z 50 50 vasectomies in
a day holy crap crap
right wow okay um so like they got this
down to a freaking science man so he
comes in and they're like they describe the numbing process as like being
flicked in the balls with a rubber band and I'm like wow great sales pitch cuz
that sounds sounds horrible sounds terrible it actually feels nothing like
that okay um the bad news is that it
feels more like you know when they put the topical numbing in your mouth and
then they they're like you're not going to feel a thing and they inject you with
the real numbing and you're like I can definitely tell there's
like I can feel a thing yeah and it's like it's not pain but it's really
uncomfortable yes yeah so as for the
actual procedure I I didn't watch they actually had a mirror in the corner of
the room and I was just like I'm not
looking looking at that mirror fortunately they also had a TV with
sports yeah there you go on the ceiling
so I was like you know this is very similar to the world's most comfortable
gaming setup other than that someone's digging around in my spaghetti bag with
like oh man tools yeah yeah um I feel
like I I'd almost want to like record the mirror and not look at it at the
time oh Lordy know I'd want to like I'd be interested just for like educational
purposes like what goes through the procedure but like I don't want to
speaking of educational purposes they wanted to bring in a bunch of students
and I was just like you know bunch of college kids young you
know Savvy the odds of some I don't need
I don't need alius tech tips viewer like
witnessing your balls being cut open yeah I I just I don't need that
experience in my life it was bad enough that his partner so there's actually two
visectomy doctors that run this Clinic together so his partner called me up for
my morning consult and was like at the end of it
where he's like yeah how many kids do you have and blah blah blah all this stuff and he's like okay yes you're good
candidate Etc at the end of it he's like so are you going to make a video about
it and I'm
like terrible terrible nothing against
the guy professionally I'm sure he's a great vasectomy doctor but um that's
funny but that's like I'm glad that I specifically requested the other doctor
in the first place cuz like I'd have hated for my name to come across and be
like oh yeah I watch that guy's videos I'll do that but then maybe the flip
side is would a fan of the channel be
extra
careful oh my God or they're
like yeah I don't think you should have won scrapyard War
it's like or like what if they were like cuz like we've had like really like
creepily like into US fans before what
if they were like you know I want to preserve more of your genetic material
I'm going to screw it up like you know what it's it's funny like obviously
that's ridiculous right but you hear about crazier stuff in the news yeah you
hear about like like dentists who aren't licensed at all who have been practicing
in I think it was bernabe for like 15 years and praying on like new immigrants
who don't speak English and just like practicing Dentistry out of their house
and it the whole thing's just like horrifying and there's like there's like
you know no um um wow words are failing
me here but um not actually sure sterilization of the tools and like like
just just insanity this is a very very reputable
Clinic um you know 50 vasectomies a day
you know and they're rating on um like
Google is like four stars wow which like
for me to rate someone four to five stars for cutting open my balls I better
be having a great experience that better be some fantastic
customer service comes of the mint at the end um do they give you
like no they gave me a big bag of Tylenol okay if they had Tylenol mints
that would be the next level yeah yeah four stars would do again exactly my
friends oh my god um second topic are
you ready yeah yeah we can go into other topics but hold on a second hold on a
second someone's like I mean h how how
TMI do we want to get someone's like just use a condom it's like that's not
they suck yeah there that's all that's
all I have to say about that it's like if I'm in a monogamous relationship
where there's no concerns about CDs then
like you know what F condoms
man that is like that but you went the
right route in order to say that yes
don't don't just say that if you don't get the appreciation yes if you want to
be able to say that go get the operation done yeah with that said I I am a strong
believer that many many men think that
they definitely don't want kids when they're young and can easily change
their mind later on in their lives I went the other way around I wanted four
to five and now I'm like super pleased
with three and definitely don't want
anymore I'm a hold out I'm I'm I'm 26
now for those wondering and I still don't want kids lots of guys decide they
want kids at like 40 yeah and it's like
it's like a revelation and they're just like oh and so you know don't do it just
because you don't want to wear a condom that's not a good reason kids
um do it because you're very sure you never ever ever ever ever want to
impregnate anyone ever again um and as
annoying as the like being someone who has always said for eternity that they
don't want kids as annoying as it is having everyone be like well you're
going to be older and your mind might change um it's a it's a pretty serious
surgery so yeah I would be careful that
one next topic yeah yeah let's uh okay so wait I need you to do a thing oh I
got to do a thing yes you got to look something up look up the Hot Wheels
computer the Hot Wheels computer yes you
seen this actually okay before we do this yeah and I believe I have seen it
this yeah this one right yeah okay so before we do that I want to explain the
audio cutout issues because I think yes sorry yeah our viewers deserve an
explanation and so does Focus right so Focus right came by this week and they
got us hooked the math up on our audio
gear we're going to have a full full video of like redoing the W show setup
in the next little bit here where we go through all the stuff that they set us
up with but basically we've got this uh epm6 mixer that will allow us to take
any audio Source like we could just grab a phone boom we've got a slider for it
so we can take any audio Source in now just analog audio in fantastic uh they
hooked us up with a headamp 6 Pro for monitoring the stream in real time um
which would be great you know if and when we decide to expand and get more
guests or whatever the case may be if Luke and I each want to monitor separately um if we want to monitor
separately at different levels because we have different headphones freaking
fantastic uh they hooked up our dbx uh it's a 166 XS compressor so that's
working now we still got to do some fine tuning but um they've got it set up and
like they've created a guide for me so I can make sure I can do it correctly and
they hooked us up with their 18i 20 uh
Scarlet audio interface so that we have a gorgeous preamp on the se4 4400a
microphone that they also hooked us up with like these guys came in brought us
all the gear and set it up for us and we had a bunch of audio cutouts on the show
today that is not their fault it appears
to have been related to having multiple capture cards running on the same USB
controller on the motherboard throwing an additional PCIe USB controller in
there and splitting the capture cards between the two of them has resolved the
issue and for those of you saying hey the audio is still not as good on the
show as it could be we're aware of that and we've we've talked to focus right
about it and we're going to look into getting some um there's stuff called
ultr touch that is like a denim it's a cotton-based batting that um from my
discussions with uh silent Mike the chin over at silent PC review is the bomb as
far as uh reducing those Echoes and
while still having it sound really natural so we want to get a cloud above us we want to get a couple of those in
front of us break up some of the standing waves in here and we are going to take to the next level but for now we
have a reliable setup and there's no
reason for you guys to deal with that screechy peeking anymore because our
compressor is finally working yeah most people don't host shows in like a
warehouse yeah um what yeah you need him oh you
need me for something uh okay Ed needs to borrow me so that's okay because uh
you could you got your uh your Hot Wheels computer well no I wanted to show
this is oh you want to discuss it yeah oh okay um things to say okay maybe do
uh maybe do do another Topic in the meantime I'll be right back I'm assuming
what he needs is very important I hope so oh okay I'm good this is going to
take a moment don't go too quickly yeah I'm good it's okay okay so topic line
screen there we go Nintendo signals end
for Wii U might seem a little early considering they haven't even released
their new console yet and you would be right it is rather early
apparently uh Reggie you guys know Reggie Nintendo America guy has told
polygon that Legend of Zelda breath of the wild would be the last game that the
company is releasing on the Wii U and he
is very specifically said we really are at the end of life for wi
U that's pretty much the entire topic but that's kind of ridiculous it's it's
literally like the the end has been signaled
and the switch isn't even out yet Mario
Kart 8 was wi use bestselling game 8 million copies sold you didn't do that
amazing oh Nintendo that being said the
end of life thing is only being quoted
for Nintendo games but Nintendo games
are pretty much the only thing that
matters in terms of like really large selling titles on the Nintendo platform
so I don't know I'm really excited for people to watch
this I kind of want to go get my ice pack before I sit down you I would get
someone else to get your ice pack uh H okay yeah fine uh I mean I kind of
have to put it on in private anyway but oh yeah okay
ice than is it weird like getting someone to grab a nice pack that you
like has been it hasn't no skin to skin
skin skin contact okay okay it's also probably very
clean uh do you want to grab it for him there we
go anyways lonus will be here in a well you got to remember yeah that's okay
I'll just you do it behind the
chair this is awesome okay the next
topic that we will be funny thing funny thing I was like so
what about stairs and they're like oh your house has stairs and I'm just like
what how am I supposed to do
anything yeah my house has
stairs and they give you like a jock strap but without a cup to uh kind of uh
lift support and separate kind of thing mhm
mhm okay that is cold
that is cold some cold relief right there okay oh hold on I just got
to okay just getting down here yep so here
one second okay we need to I'm having fun hope everybody's having fun can I do
this yeah go for it okay okay ah yes the
good old Hot Wheels PC yeah so I can't
claim complete credit for this someone sent this to me on my stream thing and
was like you should do a mod like this and I took that very
literally instead of as a joke and have been trying to figure out some way that
I could do a modern version of the Hot Wheels PC for a little while now and
decided eventually like you know what maybe I should just sit Colton on it so
Colton just messaged Hot Wheels
seriously and the YouTube Partner of
Mattel messaged back and was like hey cool yeah we should get on a call no so
we might legit be making Like An approved like Hot Wheels is in on it
with us no way
mod like like this but for like a modern
computer so I'll get like a modern keyboard that and like de it out like
that ba yeah that would be absolutely
bananas and now now that they're in on it I'm going to try to do like the
racing wheel and like yeah the mouse pad
and the speakers we could probably get like guys like dbrand involved we could
probably get um oh who do we know I don't you know what I wonder if like
neighbor Steve would help us out with some of the Flames oh my God probably so
he'd like he could like paint it properly yeah like I'm I'm thinking like
sky's the limit for a project like this I want to make it like super awesome
that's sick should we still have a CRT just for fun I don't think so okay
because I think cuz I think the idea should be like this is a pretty wicked
like mod Hot Wheels kind of deal I'm down what we
should try to do though is if we can we should try and get the original tower
chassis I think that's going to be n impossible you think so and again that
wouldn't be a modern thing it has like a floppy Drive area no it does it yeah but
we could no we could modernize it modernize so we could use so um there
was a really cool mod on the Forum not a moderator a really cool like computer
mod on the Forum all the on the where a guy built a um an SD card reader where
you load your SD card into a floppy disette and pop it into a floppy drive
that was modified to read SD cards that's pretty cool so like we could but
ah I want to make it like I don't want to just like recreate the old thing I
want to make a cool new thing okay all right straw pull straw pull straw P
straw pull yeah we got to straw pull that of course we got to straw pull that
let the people decide let yeah we're
giving the decision back to you the people yeah um sorry that I don't
remember who recommended it on my thing this was like many months ago and it's
just coming to fruition now all right okay getting the old
chassis you're you're talking uh old school versus new new school I think is
like what's going
on okay there we go so I've got what chassis old One modded or create
something new and getting the old one like might not even be possible so we
just have have to keep that in mind so even if you guys do vote for the old one
we might have to go with a new one just cuz it's like literally not a thing
twitch chat's like build a fomy PC it's that's just like it's half a PC
it's a PC without the without without the potency no Venom you have two
separate water cooling Loops one is white one is
red and what the white one just goes
nowhere well yeah you still it's just not it gets reabsorbed there just well
there isn't there just isn't like like 3D particles inside of it right lordy
it's a clean Loop yeah okay John's like
no h okay so overwhelmingly twitch chat
is like they're with you okay they're with you on this I clearly lost um so
there you go and like one thing I'm wondering about too is like you want to go to Hot Wheels website real quick
which I don't even like I'm assuming they have one they must have one yeah of
course they have one hot wheels.com NCA yeah
wow whoa there you go okay so they still
have like the Flames kind of brand so their branding hasn't really changed and
it's still blue and yellow and red yep okay so I was wondering if we would have
to like change the design but I think the general design can stay the same but
we just do it with modern stuff those are some actually pretty cool looking
Super Mario Co I like how they still have the mustache Hot Wheels yeah that's
awesome okay anyway this is not a uh this is not like a sponsored by Hot
Wheel stream we're just excited to uh to be working with them that's pretty cool
but yeah I think that's going to be pretty wicked it's going to be a little hard for certain components like the
monitor cuz the CRT has way more bezel
to play with um but I think I can make the back look really cool yeah that we
could probably find something with like a cool stand that lends itself well to
yeah to modification like I think we can find a way to work work with it like I
think if we just go hardcore with like try to stay true to the original idea
instead of like the exact layout of the original one then I think it'll be good
I still do have to check like if you can get a Hot Wheels PC on you I can't
imagine they sold a ton of them Hot
Wheels PC um oh it's going to be a lot of Hot
Wheel PC games okay micro Racers yeah
they say computer in them or do they just say PC because you could try Hot
Wheels computer sure or Hot Wheels desktop computer or something um well
here we've got categories no toys and hobbies video games and
consoles uh
yikes oops zero results for Hot Wheels
computer okay all right well that's fine
I'm over it I'm over it yeah no problem
okay uh speaking of things that I'm
over two what oh did you find one $500 someone
found one 500 bucks that's not even that bad someone was it whipped by on Twitch
chat a few people people have posted it
I'm trying to I'm trying to oh were you onca oh possibly look at that dude Hot
Wheels desktop computer system monitor
speaker steering wheel keyboard I wonder if this thing
works that would be a really cool prop for the video but it would cost 500
freaking dollars the auction is for and
floppies if you have questions feel free to message me everything has been tested
to the point of powering ontop monitor with base base needs to be
repaired original floppy disc for 93 Camaro and rigger
motor oh wow Hot Wheels interactive
tattoo designer hell yeah wow all right
so there you go you can apparently buy one and if uh if our previous experience
trying to buy something on the W show is anything to go buy by the time I refresh
this page someone will have already bought it it's gone yeah 11 watching 11
watching Four viewed per hour at thing's
hot folks It's Hot
Wheels this guy had no traffic on this thing at all for months and then it's
all of a sudden it's like whoa that's the wow effect my friends
yeah all right so AT&T shuts down their
2G network they announced yesterday that
the 2G wireless network will was officially shut down on January 1st
2017 after 4 years of planning for its
discontin continuation um so what that means is
that the original iPhone will no longer receive cellular service from the AT&T
network effectively shutting it down so if anyone was still using the original
iPhone which I sincerely hope they were
not um then your I find it interesting
that their first sales note for the iPhone was a widescreen iPod not that it
was a revolutionary phone
yeah that is interesting breakthrough
internet device high technology high technology high technology is that like
a laser or something I think so I think it's a laser I don't think it had laser
beams I feel like we would have made fun of it for having high technology if we
were doing wow way back then it's funny though because like they would have had
to have such a simple message behind it
in order to have anyone have a chance of understanding what it was that actually
makes sense CU nowadays like how do you describe something kind of like an
iPhone but whatever like how do you describe a phone yeah or or maybe not
today because now there are other good phones but back yeah yeah yeah yeah
interesting um so there's not really much else to say about that they're just
looking to free up some more Spectrum for future Network Technologies
including 5G and I guess that's yeah
really all there is to it this is awesome so they were talking about this
on my favorite um morning Sports show
cuz the time that I'm driving into work is actually when they do a segment
called crossover where the morning hosts
and the uh the brunch hosts like the lunch hour hosts are overlapping in the
studio for 30 minutes and they almost never talk about sports it's always just
like a bunch of kind of jocks Brewing out about ridiculous nonsense yeah so
they were talking about the Trump singles.com website
that promises to make dating great again
uh so the site experienced a membership
Spike um apparently they've racked up around
24,000 members since the official launch
in June and David Goss the site's founder told Fox News this is fantastic
that membership jumped by about 5,000 after Donald Trump's shock election
victory in November with another wave of new members that just signed up so the
basic premise of the site is that
um he Goss was upset about the
divisiveness of the election season and
uh wanted a place where people could go
to meet people who um especially folks
in more liberal areas where they could have a a a community to go where Trump
supporters wouldn't get hated on he said for example it's hard being a republican
in the LA area it's not an easy thing
one interesting little tidbit here if you go back is that oh is it gone now
yeah uh oh do you need me to go back to it yeah oh wow oh my goodness this is
great um so okay hold on a second okay
where do you want me uh keep going a little bit okay right there
uh Perfect Right Here Trump signals.com
is not the only dating site to emerge from
the uh of the
Maple match helps Americans fleeing the Trump
presidency find a Canadian soulmate okay
I got to open is that even
okay what the heck that's a
print uh okay Maple match is this is
this real maple match.com this can't be
real again the dating app that makes you
better at dating Free iOS dating yeah this doesn't seem to actually say
anything about that um with the goal of bringing
Americans and Canadians together in a fun meaningful way when will I be
matched um I can't imagine this is real
this is a really basic site there's almost no copy on it they keep talking
about the app I'm going to see if it's available okay in the meantime though
this is where Trump singles.com goes maybe the account was suspended just
just because their traffic has been too
high that's possible actually suspended from what contact your hosting provider
for more information I don't know but um
make make dating grade again is going to have to uh it's going to have to wait
Maple match is not on Android okay maybe
it's iOS only that's okay I got an iPhone I got an iPhone it did say something about iOS on there yeah okay
Maple match I feel like this is one of the
most disjointed w shows we've ever had
okay mle Jak okay hold up Jake is like is the W Show sponsored by durx or
something did you not hear any of that he's avoiding using them yeah I'm trying
to not give my money to uh
yeah all right uh no speaking of sponsors though we should probably uh we
should probably do our sponsor spot so freshbooks yeah are you a small business
owner are you a freelancer are you looking to get organiz

small time contract you know handy man handy lady woman whatever um handy
person type work and if you got like one client per day at a time it's relatively
straightforward but let's say you ran a yoga class out of your garage or
something like that and there's like 20 people in a class at a time being able
to send out every invoices and be able to tell who saw it that way when they
come in for the next class there's no oh yeah sorry I I didn't see it freshbooks

responsive design your website scales to look great on any device and uh actually
you know you know this funny my uh my brother wanted to create a website for
his small business that's actually doing really well I had no idea that I go I
gotta get him on Fresh books as well now that I think about it cuz um basically
he breeds aquatic animals and plants for
um like aquarium enthusiasts yeah so
things like used to breed betas or whatever um so Axel oh he does like okay
like like a different stuff like I actually went to like the local lizard
Expo thing just to kind of like be a supportive older brother and I was like
holy crap there's like this is sort of a bigger deal than I thought apparently
plants are like know huge cuz there's
lots of different benefits of having different plants in your um in your
aquarium and I was like oh that's that's really neat so anyway as kind of like a
late Christmas present I hooked him up with a year of Squarespace I actually I
actually paid for Squarespace for the first time I have never paid for
Squarespace before um but I hooked him up with a year and he was like oh this
is great I thought you were going to and I'm not going to name any names because
that's not what this is about but I thought you were talking about the other
one but I heard from everyone that Squarespace is the good one so I'm glad
that's the one you got me and I was like
oh well I'm glad too we only like
endorsing the best so there's that um
but anyway he was like yeah it's like pretty easy to use so he's working on uh
working on creating a site and everything right now um I kind of got
sidetracked there you can also have cover pages if you have a relatively
simple site that you want to make and you need like a onepage kind of design

anyway free trial 14 days no credit card
required try it out you know whether you just want to have a presence for your
you know local sport team that you coach or like a small restaurant that you help
manage um I there's a lot of people out there like total cottage industry out
there of people using Squarespace as
resellers basically someone coming to them saying can you build me a website
and they just kind of go yeah I'll build you a website they use Squarespace and
they just customize it so that it looks really beautiful for them and like you
can be 100% transparent and you'll have to be because that person is ultimately
going to need to be able to sign in to admit it but like
there you go not a not a bad little uh not a bad little Biz and if you're
thinking like man I need to build something pretty beautiful you should
probably use offer code W to save 10% off your first purchase damn straight
all right Nintendo signals the end of Wii U did you do that already there
really isn't much to say there here we go pcgamer.com is the original article
here it was posted by top war gamer on the Forum my balls are really cold that
was a very Frozen ice pack I generally have haven't been leaving them in for
like an entire day because I'm rotating between them pretty quickly okay and
that is like super Frozen does do that
like add to the pain or are they numbed out um they're cold okay all right not
very painful right now though okay that's good Gabe Newell valve is working
on single player games open to
revisiting the halflife universe yeah so the title of like Gabe
new confirms new IP in the half life portal Universe might be a little bit of
a stretch it's a quote from his Reddit AMA that I had actually read all he says
is yes when asked if they were developing any fully-fledged single
player games he actually had said nothing about it very specifically being
a portal or halflife game I just want to put that out there real
quick uh when asked in a different thread if they would revisit that
Universe he answered in the affirmative it's not half 3 confirmed but it is
possible that it could be a halflife related game not out of the question
okay I hadn't actually read that quote that's cool um so there you go um
they're using Source 2 but seeing that like Titanfall 2 was in Source 2
engine that's not a bad thing Titanfall 2 looked good and it ran really well
this is pretty cool the century small form factor case that we actually
reviewed an early prototype of a few months back just for the few people that
do care as well before we go here um he has also said that they're designing VR
Games first party and they're designing a Knuckles controller which is cool um
oh fantastic so to complete with the OC complete compete with the Oculus touch
yeah so we've we've seen a little bit of that in my in my review that I did of
the Oculus touch we saw a little bit of the knuckles controller but um I'm sure
it'll look a lot better than what I had called it so the sentury crushed their
crowdfunding goal within a matter of like hours
and uh yeah it seems to be well on its way these guys are I mean I can't say
that they won't sort of run away with everybody's money it's an Indiegogo
campaign and I you know can't personally guarantee them but from my interaction
with them they seem like good folks and
uh the product that I had in spite of being very early a very early sample um
was something that I would have been if I wanted a console in this a console
shaped PC in this form factor something I would have been comfortable spending
the money they're asking on so uh great
great job those guys congratulations huge huge shout out um
Seagate Closing one of its largest hard drive manufacturing plants this is from
tech power up hosted by numlock 21 on the
Forum wow it's located in suu hopefully
I'm saying that right China the closure will significantly reduce the company's
hard drive output they're looking to optimize their production reducing hard
drive production capabilities from 55 to 60 million hard drives per quarter to
around 35 to 40 million wow and seagate's laying off 2,200 employees wow
so basically what this means is not necessarily that Seagate expects a huge
dip in the business for high capacity
hard drives those I mean we met with them back at CES those whether you talk
to Seagate or WD they are pretty bullish
on shipping 10 terabyte plus hard drives
to cloud storage providers um Facebook
data centers yeah Facebook Google those
are not going away hard drives are not going away but what is going away much
more quickly than like I remember talking to Folks at WD and seate you
know back three four years ago um for
consumers as like the the main Drive in a computer or even as a secondary Drive
in a computer they went away a lot faster than I think they saw coming well
like every single laptop basically used to come with like a 500 gig or one tab
hard drive and now they don't and if they do come with a hard drive it's a
500 gig or a one terabyte because not
like that two or three range that should be kind of the low end now like if we
were still scaling The Way We Were and the the reason for that is that I don't
whether it's a end user or whether it's the manufacturers they don't want to
invest a bunch of money in the hard drive and for most people I believe one
terabyte is that magical number where
realistically the majority of people don't need more than that
because especially with a lot of stuff being Cloud now there's a considerable
amount of people that don't really save much on their local computers yep and
there's an argument to be made for once you reach a certain amount of storage on
a device that can fail um should that even be done or
would it be safer to just take that 500 gigs or whatever and throw it up in the
cloud now the cloud has its own sort of issues I personally don't store anything
incriminating in the cloud I'm I'm having troubles uh finding a way to like
make a video that people will actually watch about it so I don't necessarily know if I ever will but sonology is
doing some really cool stuff they for your private Cloud so their Nas has
always been solid enough but now they
making Beyond like uh your own kind of
hosted off your own server style Google Docs and Google Sheets okay so it's not
Google at all but you can have collaborators and multiple people can be
editing at the same time and you can see people editing and stuff and it's hosted
off of your own server docs and sheets and chat okay so a slack
styled they they use that and it looks like it now I should maybe use some
different design cues but yeah I would like to see functionality like that in
something like a Docker container so that it could be used across platform
but I know sonology does support Docker so is that how they're implementing it
or is it going to be like a syy proprietary I Haven played with it myself much um I'll be keeping an eye on
it because right now to my knowledge there still isn't a super simple uh like
Dropbox ease of use equivalent way to back up photos that you take and videos
that you take on your phone um it used to be that uh Code 42 had
like a like a personal cloud type product of some sort that had an app
don't don't quote me on that though I don't remember who it was but there used to be something it ended up getting
discontinued um and it would be great if
you could create something a little bit easier to
use yeah yeah we'll we'll see I know
right now like it's a little junky like when you set up your thing it doesn't
have a friendly URL right off the start y so it has like a really messy URL to
get to your thing you can you can change it and you can like make it so that it's
clean but you have to go through another one of their apps in order to do that
it's not automatic right because they're not like a low-end client company
they're like a you know what you're doing kind of company AC says Google
Google Drive no no Google drive is not the solution I'm looking to store the
stuff on my own thing apparently owncloud uh owncloud got
forked um yeah maybe I'll play around with
it and someone says code 42's crash plan Enterprise does I called them like a few
months ago back when I was looking into um what I was going to use to
synchronize our on-site server and our off-site one uh I ended up with Beyond
Compare running as a scheduled task in
like with like a script uh because
basically they I think they had removed that functionality and there were a bunch of other reasons that it wasn't
going to work but um but crash plan is a really good solution for just kind of
backing up an image of your hard drive offsite actually this is kind of a cool
thing that I hadn't really talked to anyone internally about but as part of
the server room reorganization so it was the the old way
was wanic was SATA ssds okay and then it
had a a a real-time synchronization server that was mechanical drives so
wanic is moving to NVMe and the realtime sync is probably going to be SSD SATA
ssds and I think I'm going to purpose that like 25 tbte um mechanical one as
like a crash plan Target that everyone who works here can use oh that's cool
which would be kind of cool because the way crash plan works is everything that people would sync to the office would be
encrypted as like a in a in a container
file um so I would just create like a generic account that everyone can create
their own accounts and then sync to yeah um and like I I paid the $30 a month
to freaking tell us and now I have unlimited data nice so I would just sync
like everything that's the way to be man yeah
um the month after cuz I I kept on
hitting my data cap like within a gig every single time and then eventually
they called me and they're like you're like metering yourself and I'm like yeah
I'm I'm not going over because you guys charge a lot they like would you like
unlimited we'll give you like a discount nice and they give me a discount for
like a year so I'm not technically paying 30 right now but it will go back
up I was like yeah sure in the very next month it was like massive amounts of
data they're like we don't regret this at all I mean you're on a fiber line
anyway like and I'm I think I'm the only one around on it realistically it costs
you nothing so um yeah so many people
are asking me this like for our setup
here why don't you build a sand because I'm not going to build a s
like everyone suggesting that have you looked into the cost yeah of a s you
think what we have is expensive like yes the gear we have is like kind of
expensive I spent like $20,000 on NVMe
ssds that is a drop in the bucket
compared to what I would spend on a s not to mention having someone come in
and set up which would require ongoing maintenance because I'm not familiar
with it on a s and for what
why everyone's like it would be way better way better in what way we don't
have 300
employees no I'm not going to run out
and buy a sand it's storage area network right yes
yeah yeah yeah so there's some people in chat asking what s
um yeah basically it uses different it
uses different networking Hardware like you would end up building um some kind
of like fiber channel type of like interconnect you would have multiple
boxes you would have things like uh failover so that if one box just failed
out right the whole thing would keep on keep on ticking you know what we don't
have that many people enough people to justify something like that and the
performance of that NVMe box for all the
criticism in the video that just went up about how man it was oh man it was just
kind of endless why didn't you do this why didn't you do that this is stupid
there's a lot of things people don't consider why am I running Windows Server
because we have all Windows clients and
SMB 3.0 runs best on Windows had a lot
of people asking why I was using Hardware raid I am not using Hardware
raid there is no Hardware RAID controller for 24 NVMe drives what
Hardware RAID controller would I be using I had a lot of people saying that
the performance would be bottlenecked by the four 10 GB network
connections um why I mean sure if I was hitting the
whole thing sequentially from one client then I guess I would need a 100 gigabit
client what what would I need 100 what would I need 10 gigabytes a second for
it's for multiple clients when you have multiple clients it is just fine to
spread out over multiple network interfaces and when especially when none
of those clients will need more than one Gigabyte per second at a time all our
all my clients are either gigabit or 10 gigabit and the other factor to consider
is that unless you are hitting it basically purely sequentially you're
never going to see 10 gigabytes a second
anyway and when we've got multiple people playing back say for example uh
red footage at 8K each of those clients can do like 3
gbit it's pretty heavy and then if someone's ingesting footage over there
then they could be they could be writing at about 4
gigabit and all of that stuff it makes
makes the makes the interaction with the data more random and less sequential so
could there be a bottleneck sure am I concerned about it no so far it has been
operating extremely well thank you very much
the chat is like oh my God lus is so mad
I'm not mad my balls just hurt uh okay ZTE project CSX phone
handsfree ey tracking device so this
portion of the Indiegogo pledge goal that they have
reached is everything or Kickstarter
sorry Kickstarter pledge goal that they've um that they've reached is
everything that big companies need to know about crowdsourcing the ideas for
your products because people have
ideas but that doesn't mean that they
would actually pay money for a
product that had that idea
implemented what basically they so they
crowdsourced a bunch of ideas for this phone and people were like oh we want it
tracking scr you don't mean the funding you're talking like they they had like a
site that you could go to and suggest features so they crowdsourced ideas for
the phone and they've like I didn't even know that they've set themselves down on
this path where they've committed to build it and the ideas are terrible like
they're just terrible uh scrolling based
on eye tracking so pages should scroll automatically up and down or left and
right based on movement absolutely hate it horrible terrible uh voice command
can be used to navigate between Pages voice commands are already bad enough I
don't think voice commands need to get any worse do you know I swear Siri has
gotten worse um I've been on the iPhone quite a
bit lately because I've been waiting for an unlock code for my S7 a lot of people
have asked why I'm wearing an Apple Watch lately the next one sticks to
walls and surfaces with self- adhesive case that's going to get so gnarly just
to bring back an old word like that's going to get really gross really fast
and not work immediately like Dennis bought one of those iPhone no he has an
S7 Edge I think he bought one of those cases that has that micros suction stuff
it'll work a little bit he's like oh lonus this is so cool you should make a
video about this case I was like no
because I'm plenty familiar with that stuff and within like eight applications
it's not going to stick to anything not to mention that it barely sticks to anything in the first place anyway
unless you're sticking it to a window there is no reason to use it whatsoever
now to be clear I love that stuff so I did a handy tack under 100 where I
featured that stuff um oh that would have been great for your sticky stuff
one but I'd already done it yeah you don't you don't have it as your case no
I don't have it on my pH stuff on something yes yeah so I have a strip of
it on my nightstand next to my bed where I lay down any devices that I'm charging
so that they can't get pulled off if I or one of my kids grabs a
cable that's what it's four yeah or
didn't you have some in your car before uh no that came on a chi charging dock
um that ended up melting because I got an early prototype that was 3D printed
yeah so that's hilarious yeah it's expected to ship in September and it has
all the most generic specs ever Qualcomm 625 3 gigs RAM 5 1 half in 1080P display
3,000 millah battery 12 megapixel plus
13 megap optical zoom rear camera 32 gig
storage USB type c wow I'm so board $200
though cool
um wow uh Reddit user this is cool so it's
posted by good good T Fu fry good tofu
Friday that's a great username uh Reddit user posts a picture of an am4 bracket
so here's the EK water blocks am4 versus am3 bracket demonstrating that they
appear to be compatible although I probably could have told you guys that
from looking at am4 boards at uh CES it
does look like AMD is keeping the existing mounting holes wasn't that
definitely public knowledge already I certainly didn't think it was a secret
um but there you go reddit's happy about it so good for them okay you did it
Reddit I I I thought I thought has just
no one said it because we just all assumed that everyone else knew maybe
because I that's pretty funny ASRock is
showing off a new
desktop form factor so check this thing
out so it spreads the io out quite a bit more uh it looks like we can put an mxm
here and I was I honestly thought it was like a matter of time before we were
going to see something like this and I am super excited for the kinds of
designs you could build with a board like this soda memory and uh front IO
right here actually wow the closer I
look at this article from an ontech this posted by ah my good friend Dr cutus um
this looks amazing
so wow I'm actually like super stoked on
this basically this would allow you tiny
computer to build effectively like a
laptop thinness desktop with like a
7700k 32 gigs of RAM and like a g TX
1080 that'd be pretty sick this would be
bananas um do you see any power connectors so power is probably DC so
probably external power if I had to guess I would say that's a power in okay
yeah that's probably it I was looking for circular and you can see a little bit of circular black on there it could
also be up here based on that that's where this comes in but I would assume
Central more so so that it can feed the slot here yeah um I'm also not sure
exactly how they're planning to handle mxm cards that require external power
like it's possible that this is just one of yeah but oh man an Enthusiast grade
desktop that's like look at the size of this thing it's like this big by like
this wide with like a 1080 in it cuz like that's like I look at laptop
Hardware I'm like yeah that stuff's like awesome I'd love to like use the crap
out of that stuff um except that it's
got a display and a keyboard and like a bunch a bunch of stuff that adds cost
and complexity that I don't need whereas
oh man like the kind of chassis you could build around something like this
where you could have like a mono block style cooler for the CPU and the GPU so
you can uh man I'm I'm excited about this thing oh there's some more pictures
so there's a good uh good sense of the size right there yeah and that does
indeed look like power in although I could be could be wrong look at all that
m.2 on the back that is
ba very cool oh here we
go what's that what are both of those uh he
probably says yeah he probably says front part blah blah blah yeah DC and
Jack okay there you go yeah so that
looks fantastic I'm excited this could turn into uh into some very very cool
form factors I just want to see if there's any other no okay stoked on that
I'm adding that to our uh we have a we have like a a weekly meeting now where
we where we like go through like what's cool what's coming are you going to talk
about the which the three the three the
two three yeah the three I'm trying to not say anything
uh oh ah um sure
yeah so this is interesting we have
completed call for writers 2016 I know
it's 2017 now but we started it in 2016 and that's how the that's how the N
clature Works y um and we are hiring
three people so a I wouldn't say their
names but um I could I could say first names
okay yeah I mean they've got their employee agreements where they agree to have their name and likeness signed them
technically they haven't signed them yet so maybe okay so I'll stick with not
names yet names soon but uh we are adding three people to the writing team
here which is going to I hope
dramatically increase the cohesiveness of the content coming out
of this place um it's no secret that for a long time um I've been overworked it
is no secret that Luke has his tension split between content and development of
float playing Club our Early Access platform um and we've been in desperate
need of help for quite some time more help than we can get from Brandon with
his camera reviews and Taran with electric bikes truly had a
pre-production higher for line ofes no
that was sort of the intent with John but he bid into Techquickie and became
the Techquickie guy in a way that great which is great
in a way that no one anticipated and he only rarely finds time to to pitch in on
the LT side of things so we said we were going to hire two to three and we
decided uh we decided to go with three the decision's made and those folks will
be two of them had to relocate um but those folks will be heading out here
sometime in the next actually about three weeks yeah yeah so and that's
exciting cuz like overd doubling the
team essentially and and we've we've
grown these other sectors of lonus Media Group a lot and never touched our side
ever um and this doesn't necessarily mean that like we're just not going to
show up on camera as much or almost at all anymore that's not the plan um John
has already done a bunch of line secutive scripts like if you've seen any
of our console stuff the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 Xbox One S and
Playstation 4 Pro yep to be more specific those were both largely John
scripts and what what this will do I've got a lot of people asking about more
content no no I do not intend for us to
release more than a video per day but what I do want you guys to see is more
stuff like PlayStation 4 water cooling
great video yeah but a video like that
is extraordinarily time consuming and
the guys that we're bringing in will not only have more time but they also have
very unique skill sets yes so one of them I would consider to be kind of an
allrounder um kind of similar to me in
that way like pretty selftaught except that he also has some coding
experience one of them has an engineering background yeah dude's got
an engineering degree so if we wanted to create a trebuchet for Channel Super Fun
we finally have someone on staff who can have us not get killed yeah while we're
trying to do that um the other one has
over a decade of like it background and like has has like
replaced electrical components on board
and has gone around like fixing SNES and Nest systems and like all this other
kind of cool stuff and is very interested and good at that so we're
bringing in three very different people
um at least one of them has a fair bit
of experience with uh 3D modeling and 3D printing uh so so we're bringing in a
bunch of different skill sets that are going to unlock a lot of ideas that we've had on the back burner for a long
time and just haven't had the time to learn how to and this shouldn't just
make it so that there's more like really awesome cool in-depth projects but it
should also free up lus and I to do things like scrapyard Wars yes it's been
a long time since scrapyard Wars uh season 4 it's it's it's difficult to do
it's extremely difficult to do when you have two people that can do the pre-production for projects and you take
both of them out so I've got a lot of people speculating no Jerry is not
coming to work here they're all Canadian so I'll put to rest any speculation
about Jerry um and because we just said
they're all Canadian it's not like it's not lend yeah he's also American though it's
it's not like we didn't we didn't plunder like Hardware conducts we didn't plunder anyone these are all new guys
these guys are fresh blood and we're really excited to bring them in and uh
and and really ramp things up in the next little bit just so everybody knows
Wendell like has a real job like I don't I don't know if people know this cuz a
lot of people and like the existence of level one Tex yeah and I I like what
he's doing over there and I don't yeah
yeah if you guys actually could help me out a little bit I'd appreciate it if you can ask Wendell when the crap he's
going to come on Wow with us and talk about level one text cuz that's been
that's been on both of our calendars for quite some time just tweet that guy be
like yo hey lonus is like why aren't you on my show and you'd be like we want you
on the show because it's been a long time no excuses
Bruh Bruh
Bruh what else we got bruh um PC one your test how's it going
it is going it's going I I checked in on it a couple days ago have you been back
there yeah yep it's going they're all running uh next doc turns Intel's
compute card into a two-in-one laptop this was posted on the Forum by Dawson
wage and the original article here is from The
Verge okay oh yeah this thing yeah looks
pretty cool so they announced the compute card at CES uh which was uh back
in early January so a credit card sized computer so this is the followup to the
compute stick which was a stick siiz
computer and it's essentially a full computer so it's got CPU GPU Wireless
connectivity and it's designed to let Hardware manufacturers easily add
computer internals to Smart devices so it's all built around a single
upgradeable standard so the next Doc is one of the first products announced that
looks to take advantage of the compute card uh the company is listed as one of
Intel's Regional partners for the compute card and it's a touchscreen device with two slots on the side one
for the compute card which contains the actual computer of the device and one
for a larger custom USBC module for
swapping in andout ports and Battery as the situation requires I'm not a huge
fan of that I wish it kind of just had ports in a battery apparently it can be converted
into different form factors using a keyboard and kickstand accessory so they
hope that by separating the OS and the processor from the rest of the hardware
they can prolong the lifespan of the computer and help reduce the environmental impact very
cool um what else we got here I guess
that's pretty much everything from my side uh Opera neon is Opera's New
Concept browser so that's cool cool and
um thanks for watching The W show do you have anything else that you want's playing video games right now yeah it's
like he's not even doing anything more important than being on the L show with us so what okay what what's his twitch
what's his twitch get this pgp okay so
twitch.tv Team pgp guys we got to fix
this okay so everyone get over there and
like cause a cause a riot okay everybody
cause a riot you can tell him I said so no don't tell him I said so actually
that would be better let I want to see a riot in Wendell's twitch chat in the
next 30 seconds or I'm ending the
stream actually I'm going to end the stream in 30 seconds anyway there it
goes okay do we have a riot yeah okay
very good okay the riot level is about a four out of 10 I need to see about a 12
out of 10 here guys come on Riot Riot it's team pgp team pgp
let's get that link going again Riot all right so thank you guys for tuning in to
the WAN Show we will see you again next week same bat Time same bat Channel all
that good stuff we hope you guys had as much fun as we did um huge shout out
again to focus right for hooking us up on this audio gear we're super stoked
especially now that we figured out the um sort of bummer that was the uh USB
conflict resource conflict that was causing our cutouts um oh this is really
important if you guys are not already subscribed to Channel Super Fun I'm
linking that in the chat right now all the episodes of nerd
Sports y yep yep yep go subscribe to Channel Super Fun all the nerd Sports
episodes are up so go check them out um
also right um if you want to get early access to lineus Tech tips Channel super
fun and Techquickie videos float planing Club does exist so uh you can go
check that out as well I'll go ahead and throw you guys a link actually it's kind
of amazing I mean do do we want to tell people like how many people are
subscribed uh no should we say that it's more than
hundreds I guess so we've got a lot of people I'm
going to post this uh post the link to where you can join the float playing
Club the video and audio quality is quite wonderful yep we've got a lot of
great great feedback from tremendous
tremendously knowledgeable people that the video and audio actually the audio
is one of the biggest differences for me because I'm usually watching on like a
laptop or a um or a phone so small
display anyway um but listening with in
one of those things that you've been asking for we tried it and it like works
but it's like really scary for the servers so like no but later yes does it
have three letters the first of which is h no oh don't I
don't want to I don't literally don't want anyone to know oh okay but it's two
it's two oh okay I think I know which one oh wow uh
okay um all right so guys go check out
uh go subscribe to Channel Super Fun go check out Flo playing Club yes um audio
quality really is better you guys are doing almost no compression right I like
they change things all the time thank you I appreciate it I'm not
complaining I'm just saying I don't really know what's going on all the time uh so like a while ago yeah no not
really um okay all right good night
everybody bye oh yeah the outro oh which has no
music so whatever right
