get your motor running oh yeah like we get your motor running yeah we crank
your we crank your engine okay crank engine could kind of work we plug your
tailpipe if you know what I mean oh
wow um anyways we have topics this week
that aren't devote cranking engines the first one is WD acquires about tail
pipes WD does not acquire tail pipes WD
acquired sandis for $19 billion yeah
they stuffed 19 billion up their
tailpipe and that made them theirs prison rules man oh my god um also
YouTube did something with red YouTube read it's different than YouTube blue
it's less sad oh I feel bad for YouTube
listen up here's the story about a little I love that song guy that lived
in the red world and he paid for YouTube
and got some cool stuff except people don't like it but we'll talk about that
later sorry people don't like it Korean 10 terab PC and 8 tab SATA drives also
the USA is enforcing mandatory drone
registration I'm trying to more on that
in a minute every time I say more on I'm like that must be a stupid news
topic and
intro maybe that's the person's last
name more on that in a minute
visit gaming. logitech.com to learn more about like cool sweet Logitech stuff
yeah also freshbooks.com for cool
freshbook stuff yeah and
dollarshaveclub.com Linus for cool dollar stuff oh wait sorry shaving
shaving that's what it is shaving and butt wiping
okay and then I'm going to put this
here see how I blanked it now it'll load
right away next time what you just have to remember MP4 at the top to do no I
did I did I did because that's the end screen of the intro MP4 but we always
forget to do that well technically I'm
not the one that's in control yeah technically maybe if you would actually
um you know tail pip
I don't know where I'm going with this uh so we've got a great show for you
guys today we've got a ton of topics uh some of which are interesting some of
which are total shite but we won't talk about those ones for too long and um I'm
getting an ad for Wow Scouts versus zombies that can't be good someone take
oh this looks like one of those terrible joke movies
yeah Scouts Guide to the zombie apocalypse wow that looks awful sorry a
bunch of people in chat were saying that they have video feed um refresh the page
everything is good I was just making sure it's working I've got a lot of
people talking about Star Wars trailer hype I have not seen it what no no no
there's a reason there's okay I have a
policy I don't read the back of books okay I do not watch trailers okay that's
very fair that is my policy because I
take spoiler alerts to like like I have
no idea you just baited everyone don't read the chat today h well you can't
spoil a movie that's and and like there were no plot points I've talked to
Brandon about it already I've talked to Brandon which is all I need to know
Brandon says the trailer was flipping awesome I think there were minor PL
points okay well either way I will I will ignore it because I know the the
chat is going to be half full of people trolling anyway okay yeah yeah yeah so
it's fine it's fine they'll they just won't believe it the twitch chat will
literally cancel itself out yes in this case y it doesn't in most cases one type
of troll working against the other type of troll effectively trolling each other
um so anyway I have not watched it the internet because like even Game of
Thrones I have literally no idea what happens after the first book because I
am determined to wait until either all the books are out or George RR Martin
Dies at which point I will read all the books that are available and then I will
watch the entire show and I will binge watch it and that will be that's funny
because it's exactly my plan that will be exactly how it's going to go so I take this whole thing very seriously so
I don't even I watched the first Force
awakens trailer I let myself have that I
watched it I kind of went yep those are x-wings those are lightsabers this movie
cannot be bad oh it's char No no he's
not there that's good um so I am going
to uh so I'm going to wait I'm going to wait so people were asking for
Impressions my impressions are that I am cautiously optimistic that Abrams is not
going to do anything to my tailpipe with the new Star Wars movie and you know
what's funny I was looking at so that he will in just the right way yeah in just
the right way and he'll look me in the eye um so I was looking at top grossing
movies of all time and you know what's funny is even corrected for
today Star Wars is not that compe like
it's good it's good to be clear it's good corrected for today though yeah cuz
like you correct for inflation so like yeah but that's not fair cuz population
increased people who would be able to go to the
movie also increases but if anything that's Advantage modern movies so like
gone yeah Gone With the Wind is still the number one grossing movie of all
time corrected for inflation so uh here
let's let's just bring it up it's top grossing movies of all time there's like
a Wikipedia article which hopefully is somewhat somewhat accur see it's purple
I was just looking at it um so yeah when when you actually look at it Avatar
crushes everything by a long shot followed by Titanic Jurassic work world
is number three what what I had no idea
Jurassic world performed that well uh beat Avengers like really like I didn't
know that Jurassic Park as a as a
franchise had here I'll I'll screens share with you guys did you see Jurassic
world I haven't I want to I heard it wasn't that great I didn't think it was
very good I thought the only good thing about it was the The one dude that I
can't remember the name of right now I'm terrible with actor names yeah we know
if we ever make a show about movies don't bring me out yeah you're not invited yeah yeah
um but yeah so I think I'd have fairly good comments but I wouldn't know who anyone is and that would be kind of
weird but like looking looking at this I kind of go you know you compare Marvel
right like Marvel Comics and the reach that something like that has compared to
the reach of the Star Wars universe and I would have expected even the crappy
Star Wars movies to perform relatively
better than that compared to like all the Avengers and all these Iron Man 3
all these Marvel movies like this is this this is the top Star Wars movie I'm
surprised Pirates of the Caribbean stranger Tides did more than like Toy
Story 3 Iron Man here let's look at the
corrected one so here's the corrected one so Star Wars itself the first movie
actually Compares very favorably but the
other movies actually were nothing special and and Phantom Menace is
probably the most telling one so Star
Wars fans are fans of Star Wars kind of
regardless of whether they go see the movie or are even a fan of the movie I
guess was my realization like Star Wars is so much more than the movie so I'm
not even sure if this movie being amazing or being a total flop will
actually impact anything about the Star
Wars universe and its success as a franchise because you could argue Star
Wars is the most recognizable brand that
came from a movie ever that came from a movie
Yes didn't the books orig no no no Star Wars Star Wars the an New
Hope was the first Star Wars thing okay
um and and yet they actually you know
compared to especially in recent times
like in in the generation that you know I grew up in haven't really performed
that well at the box office I mean I'm not saying a billion dollars is anything to sniff at I'm just saying that for
what an international phenomenon Star Wars is I I just would have expected it
to to outperform Pirates of the Caribbean you know there's a fair amount
of people saying like random things in chat like Harry Potter I saw a couple
times more than one person that's from a book for sure
yes yeah I mean I like Frozen did 1.27 n
billion I'm kind of looking at this going really really like I I mean yeah
it was a good movie I saw it but like a lot of people saw Frozen I know a
lot of people saw Frozen I I get it appealed to all ages Let It Go and all
that noise but I just if you compare the
the fleetingness of what Frozen's impact
will be on on popular culture like yes
it will it's heav it's highly impactful now and if they do a sequel then it will
it will get some more momentum but you compare that to what Star Wars has done
over the last what 707 I wonder what
Global warming's Effect will be on the Frozen franchise
yeah I think that's been done with Ice Age so you know where Glo where like the
the planet heating up affects the no I mean it'll be kind of like not really a
thing at one point it'll be like because it's based in so what where is it based
in Queen Elsa is going to combat the Norway oh I don't know it's based in
like an actual like the and the the kings that visit and stuff are from like
actual places oh I did not know that yeah it's I read something about it
Scandinavia somewhere I think right yeah yeah yeah so like those places might not
be Frozen at some point no but I thought
it's like her power that made it frozen or some crap oh so that it won't matter
yeah okay okay so you're bad at actors and movie plots well no cuz they're from
a place that was like when when she's a kid they're like pulling ice out of the
lake okay tell me this Indiana Jones carries a whip or a crowbar a whip okay
just making sure because I don't know you might have had confused with
beginning the movie they're cutting ice out of the lake to take back for like
cooling stuff down like they're in a very cold area right but that's cuz they
don't like her power is also freezing things yeah okay all right all right oh
no our polar bears will have nowhere to go people are like Luke just
stop what I wasn't even wrong apparently
it is Norway so it's very cold there that's good you should just stop you
should just stop we should both just stop that's it for the show thanks for
we're done thanks for tuning in to movie chat Friday we will see you guys next
time all right why don't we do an actual topic here um the US is planning to
enforce mandatory drone registration
with the transportation department by Christmas they are taking this ball and
running with it this is wait what well
how this is a stupid stupid article how
does Apple owing a bunch of money for patent violation have anything to do
with drone registry way to go stuff.tv you don't even know what your article is
about this is like a two line art I'm going to go to nbcnews.com and I'm going
to link people to that yeah link people to that so let's go ahead and pull lot
more interesting so according to NBC News the US federal government plans to
require all flying drones to be registered with with the US Department
of Transportation by Christmas and
basically this will what's up oh is the NBC site not even loading down I don't
know man damn maybe usnews.com anyway so
they're going to be working with the Drone manufacturers to put a system in
place that and and with retailers presumably that at the time of purchase
will require people to you sell it register that drone so there's going to
be a lot of issues obviously the system
is not going to be perfect immediately and people are going to find a way
around it and there's there's no clear
system in place for what happens to all the drones that are out there today what
happens to hobbyist drones say what if you build your own yeah if you build your own I mean maybe they would make
you register the chassis but you could
build your own motor but then who cares maybe it would be the controller board
or something like that like if you could get the pretty sure you can make like uh
I almost just had a name of a mod on our for erino uh I think you can get uh like
Raspberry Pi or whatever ones yeah you
you can so so it's it's it's not really clear to me how they would regulate
these these custom drones but the point is that um I have a feeling this is
going to be kind of sort of like this is going to
get a little bit controversial but I think it's I have a feeling it's going to be kind of sort of like gun laws but
even easier to get around where like the gangsters aren't going to Care like the
people that are going to do something illegal with it aren't going to care and they're going to just go around it and
then it's just going to be annoying for the people that try to use it properly
yeah so they're apparently trying to take public feedback um into a camp as
the as the rules are formed uh but there's there's a lot of there's a lot
of questions will there be a registration fee uh should certain
drones be exempt from registration what constitutes a drone you know are are we
are we talking like this thing now I
mean I think there there are some guidelines with respect to the the
functionality of them but I mean it's not like in the next five years you
wouldn't expect to be able to buy micro drones that can mostly pilot themselves
that have uh firstperson View cameras and as the electronics get smaller and
cheaper so so so would I have to register this thing I mean if that gots
if you know like a parrot mini drone get sucked into a jet turbine it's going to
disintegrate it's not going to
yeah um and it obviously can't fly that
high so this all comes on the on the heels of a a huge number of obvious
violations of the existing laws where people are flying them next to airports
flying them next to Forest fires uh flying them around in the city at night
when you know if it fell out of the air for whatever reason let's face it Flyway
drones are a thing where if it fell out of the air it could hit someone's dog or
child or um you know yeah otherwise cause a problem y
yeah so the Consumer Electronics Association predicts something to the
tune of 700,000 drones will be sold this holiday season so that's all that's a
lot of potential potential hazards uh
flying around in the air I can understand why they're doing it I can understand why drone enthusiasts are mad
but most of the reasonable drone enthusiasts that I've either talked to
or seen posting online are directing their hate at the people who are just
screwing around with them screwing around with them doing particularly
stupid things because let's face it the laws in Canada are kind of dumb like you
literally cannot fly a drone pretty much anywhere in a in a city because you you
can't be within I forget what it is I think it's like a 100 meters of an
animal or person and it's just like okay
uh you can't be I I forget what the rules are with respect I think you're
not allowed to be in a park you're not allowed to this you're not allowed to
that like there's all this stuff you can't be within a certain amount of animals or people but then you also
can't go to a park so you just can't go to anywhere right so basically you it it
pretty much is like yeah you can't fly them um so I'm just like
okay but no one was really enforcing that until people started doing really
really stupid St stuff with them so that's that's basically that's basically
where we're at on that uh this is kind of a big deal uh our original article
here is from overclock 3d. net let's go
ahead and pull that up but WD has been
confirmed to be in the process of acquiring SanDisk for $19
billion so for those of you who are not familiar with Western
Digital they make hard drives uh for those of you not familiar with SanDisk
they make uh flash products so you know SD cards compact flash cards OSS ssds as
well uh basically what Western Digital is seeking to do here should be fairly
obvious they are trying to gain actual
manufacturing capacity for solid state
products because they've dabbled before WD has had hybrid drives for example
they had that um that black squared product that actually had like a 128 gig
SSD and a hard drive and they were like in one and it was like kind of a bizarre
product yeah um but unless you own
manufacturing capabilities you're always going to be paying someone else to
manufacture The Flash chips for you so
you're never going to be price competitive in a commodity market like
storage so Western Digital basically
went okay let's bite the bullet now's the time we're going to go ahead we're
going to acquire someone with actual Fab capacity and they bought SanDisk for uh
for for 19 billion now it is contingent
on Western Digital is getting something to the tune of I think $3 billion in
funding for X percentage of their company from some Capital firm something
something so so there's actually two different proposed prices one if that
deal goes through which will be sometime I think second half of 2016 okay and
then there's this price and then there's another price if it doesn't go through
which it is expected that SanDisk would reject if that were the case so WD is
not putting themselves in a bind where they might not actually have the cash to
do this when the time comes uh which is pretty smart but it looks like if all
goes according to plan WD will have the
entire gamut covered p s now it's official it's official that that the
deal which is contingent upon those
conditions is in place okay yeah so the
like the the actual shares and cash have not actually changed hands um so this
will allow Western Digital to bring hard drive ssds and hybrid products to Market with
cost costs on both of them the only thing that WD would then be missing is
actual actual like not because they can
manufacture the chips themselves so they wouldn't actually be developing Nan
flash technology like someone like Micron Intel with their joint venture or
uh like someone like uh Samsung is doing
so so there you go I mean this is really interesting um like one of the notes
says in the doc this is combining two massive storage providers and like WD as
everyone knows are legendary in terms of hard drives and then SanDisk is huge
actually in terms of like camera storage too SD cards very well respected both
are very well respected for their quality and the longevity of their product so so this is a pretty huge
merger actually yep uh SanDisk has been working very closely with tashiba
another actual nand technology company
um and the only statement that I've seen about that so far is that that will
continue so uh yeah what a what a really
interesting what a situation for someone like a Seagate out there kind of looking
at this going okay well that leaves us
uh not a whole cuz there are not a lot of companies that actually manufacture
flash chips like very few very few
companies own Fabs and now W A lot of them are in Partnerships and stuff
already yep so best of luck to uh best
of luck to seate and
yeah I'll be interested to see how they tackle this uh here this is interesting
YouTube Red so why don't we why don't we jump right into this um original article
here is from recode YouTube will make you pay to see
some of its new videos which is actually and like a lot
of people's coverage of this topic actually a little misleading they are
not going to be necessarily YouTube's videos I am
aware that there are some creators we are not among them there are some
creators out there that have been approached to do exclusive like like
YouTube Originals content but it's not
100% clear to me that YouTube would own those videos and it's also not 100%
clear what would happen to that content in the very long term um it's possible
that like our arrangement with vessel where the content is behind a pay wall
and then comes out onto the free platform later so so it's not clear if
it would be a similar Arrangement or not but I do want to clear up some of the
general misconceptions about YouTube Red because much like our video where we
announced that we were going to start launching our videos on vessel and in
the first 30 seconds of that video I said we are not abandoning YouTube half
of the comments under the video why are you why are you staying on YouTube why
are you abandoning YouTube that was insane that was actually insane and it
feels like from even some fairly large
creators I've seen some really ignorant statements about this like did you even
bother to read the YouTube blog post
just read the blog post this is this is very simple okay if you're not being
commissioned to make YouTube Originals
content it's business as usual
everything is normal everything is fine everybody calm down nothing is changing
ad supported YouTube is not going
anywhere and I doubt will ever go anywhere because ad supported is a
legitimate model what YouTube's doing is they are adding a tier they're adding a
premium service that exists on top of in addition to the the ad supported free
model and what you get in return for a I think it's A9 .99 subscription is you
get YouTube music one month free uh after one month free you get YouTube
music which um and then you get YouTube
gaming which YouTube gaming I'm actually not 100% sure what the benefit is of
having a subscription but you get YouTube music which means that you can
um you can listen to music in the background you can uh you can download
things uh so in okay so hold on let stay focused on red anyway so so YouTube
music's not launched we'll talk about that later so YouTube Red allows you to
save videos to watch offline it allows you to play back in the background while
you do other things without interruptions both of which are very cool features and they allow you to
watch videos with no ads so what that means is your membership fee that you
pay and it's actually not 100% clear how
much the split is so it looks like they're saying their quote is the vast
vast majority of Revenue will go to creators but it's also been mentioned
that creators would be paid the standard 55% um and then and then the way that it
works is the money from your YouTube Red subscription will be split among the
creators that you watch according to watch time which as we know is YouTube's
primary metric that they're looking for in terms of of gauging the popularity of
a channel and the and the one should release Excellence of a video and all
that kind of stuff like a 24hour random video just so you can be like I want to
support this channel mainly and just idle it when you're not there that's
called gaming the system and we don't participate in that our one and a half
hour our one and a half hour podcast not
withstanding so playlist okay so there
there are a lot of questions here that that do remain even though the actual
premise of this is very simple no ads being able to download videos officially
and watch them later and uh being able to to have them continue to play back in
the background all of download videos officially yep so you can download them
watch them later yeah so through the app you can CH just read content or of all
YouTube content is red content that's another thing a lot of creators are like
super upset that I meant like red Originals oh yeah no nothing to do with
red Originals all content so a lot of creators are upset that they're being
forced into this agreement I I don't really see why they care why does it why
does it matter nothing our audience at Super doesn't matter because they could
just download the videos anyways yeah changes they probably know how to do
that yeah really it changes nothing all it means is that
instead of an AdSense Revenue that you get for that view you're getting a red
Revenue split share and in theory based
on based on yeah in theory it would be higher unless people are very very heavy
consumers for their $10 a month which they're not like I've run the numbers a
view is not worth a lot of money like a single view so and another thing too is
some some creators are are are upset
okay so first of all Why YouTube is forcing all creators into this is
because that's the whole service is
YouTube without ads so yeah you're going to need as a
Creator you're going to need to sign up and it's all beneficial to you because
people can either choose to pay or they cannot and then we've got creators that
are kind of uh worried about well hold
on a second that means that I'm not getting my ad revenue for that so then
but hold on what if I'm oh hold on what if I'm in an area where YouTube Red
hasn't launched we're a perfect example YouTube Red is launching in the US
exclusively for now so what if someone's a YouTube Red subscriber and they watch
our video but we're not a YouTube Red
Creator we're not getting a payout or are we so this is this is all not very
clear but what I will say to the
creators out there and to the viewers out there is I wouldn't stress about it
I I really don't think this is a big deal I was looking at it last night and
um I was looking at it last night and only about a third of our views in the
last month on YouTube were monetized all of our videos have
monetization enabled so whenever you click on our videos and there's no ad
that means that view was not monetized or you have ad block um so what that
means to me is that even if a so so 40%
of our audience is in the US so it's so even if a fraction of a fraction of our
audience subscribes there's plenty of plenty of video views left over for
people who who are not having views monetized thankfully we have a lot of
people that help us in other ways like the Amazon affiliate codes like the
shirts like the Forum contributions but even without that my point remains
business as usual on both the Creator side and on the viewer side you
shouldn't care with the one exception being the YouTube original content but
the cold hard truth there is that if YouTube is funding this content to be
created and it wouldn't have existed without it then if you want it that
badly much like the PewDiePie game is a perfect example do you think you should
get that for free because you watch him on YouTube or something like if it's
something that wouldn't have existed otherwise then guess what you got to pay
to play um a lot of people have asked us what we have planned for YouTube Red so
far nothing um my YouTube contacts have
not talked to me about it at all it's not being rolled out in Canada so I can
understand why they wouldn't have talked to to me at all um we have committed
many times to our viewers that our content will always be free it may be
windowed released periods it may be this it may be that whatever but you will
always have access to all of our content for free so depending on the structure
of the YouTube Red payroll pay wall we might do something with it but only if
it would be a windowed release and we could release it to everyone eventually and so so yeah right now business as
usual and if you don't like it you probably miss misunderstood what it was
because it's nothing it makes no difference y I plan to subscribe cuz I
already subscribed to Google Play music for eight bucks a month so it's another $2 a month for to not see ads on videos
so yep I'm going do it but um does it still have the family thing uh I'm not
sure I'm not sure but if it does you can still be my
family um sorry for people couple people started mentioning I'm doing weird
things with my jaw and stuff I'm currently deaf in my left ear and it's
actually very weird being on the show
that's why I'm also doing this looking behind his head so I can hear him with this here sorry we should have switched
sides today I've got a lot of people asking what this means for vessel nothing um our vessel contract is still
very much in place so our videos will be a week early on vessel and anything we
were to do with YouTube Red would be
within the confines of our existing release schedule so if it was if you
know YouTube came to us and said something like okay you know we're going
to do windowed release for YouTube Red content and I was kind of looking at it
going okay so we'd have a one we window on vessel another week window on red and
I I I don't know if we're going to do a two we two we release window here um so
we would probably not participate at least until the landscape becomes more
clear to us um in that case but uh right
now as a Creator everything's very up in the air clear as mud but it
also totally doesn't matter because you can completely ignore it and everything
will be the same yes which is fine which is good if you don't want ads and you
want YouTube music and stuff sure if not
don't worry about it yeah I'm totally uh I'm I'm totally going for it as soon as
it's available I'm super super stoked are we
that deep into the show already it's 520 how is it 520 520 uh why don't we do
this next thing real quick then sure uh large Esports Max fit Max fing match
fixing thank you uh revealed in Korea one coach and two
players arrested so basically I'm going to get a link going fairly soon but if
lius could take over because I'm currently posting a l why is there an NC
ad on teamliquid.net that's awesome yeah
I can buy uh oh this must be like a Google ad or something I was I was
looking at uh server server Essentials R2 last night mine was TD isn't TD a
Canadian Bank yeah yeah it's localized Toronto Dominion so Prime Starcraft 2
head coach Gerard and programmers Yoda
and whoa I bought this last
night yeah I didn't know that I looked for a camera once on one website and
like every website I went to that had Google ads after that had this kind of
stuff but I didn't know ncx was this clever I didn't know they
targeted ads that like that back when I
worked there they we didn't have any of any any we didn't what people were
viewing and then hit them with ads about
it so so this is anyway this is I wonder if Google has a tool or something that
seems likely yeah um all right sorry go ahead I don't did I say programmers I
meant PR Gamers my bad um Yoda and bong
bong there's two bees on bong bong I hope I'm saying bong bong correctly have
been arrested in connection with match fixing in Korea sorry boom b boom B Bo
anyway yeah sorry I'm not familiar with this particular
gamer uh where was I again 12 individuals have been arrested in total
including Financial backers and a journalist who act acted as a broker two
of the financial backers were ex gangsters Who provided the funds uh for
betting to occur on illegal websites five matches were found to have been
fixed I think it was around like nine grand um us yeah Gerard will uh was
charged with receiving equivalent of about about 9,000 USD um all these
figures are apparently approximate and Yoda to intentionally lose a match in
GSL season 1 yeah yeah so uh so there so there you
go so basically um they're going to jail
yep and they've been banned for
life um uh from the uh Korean Esports
Association and uh so and kespa I don't
know if we call it that but I don't care uh has said that even if the criminal
suit even if the criminal charges don't end up uh putting these guys in in jail
or anything like that they're still going to be pursuing uh a civil case
against them um they're yeah basically they're they're taking it very seriously
and so they should this kind of stuff is
total crap and undermines all the efforts of everyone else in so many
people in in Esports the fight to make Esports as legit as possible has been
huge and crap like this continuing to happen is just hard and yes we know it
happens in every sport I get it but they're they're currently going through
growing pains and it makes it that much worse
yep I'm going to turn down our saturation a little bit had someone
complaining we're too saturated all right so what else what else we got this
is just a quick one but uh here we go
Akiba pc. watch. impress. co.jp is our
source for this one this is great um so so pretty much we've got confirmation
that there's an 8 tbte SATA SSD in the
making right now with a 10 tbte PCI
Express SSD also in the making right now
is amazing I know right oh my
God PC hotline man that's great oh my goodness
we're probably the only visitor on this site right now look at how far it goes
down when there's no content left it just keeps
going there we go okay so here we go
that's the site and it's over and it's finally done
and a banner ad I I really hope these guys aren't paying too much for that ban
ad placement cuz that is terrible oh wck um
so basically there's not too much to say about this other than that as expected
SSD capacity continues to rise uh this
is a Korean company called Nova chips that's working on them um they're using
a technology called hyperlink Nan so it's this Daisy ring architecture that
outpaces the parallel bus architecture used in industry standard n flash
products apparently um yeah point to
point ring you can pre-order it today on osc.com in Japan but you would basically
be a complete idiot if you were to do that because the pricing is about
$10,400 for the 8 TB SATA 3 SSD and
$15,600 for the 10 TB PCI Express SSD
wow and they're not estimated to ship for another 3 to four months depending
on the skew wow so given the volatility of flash pricing I would probably just
wait till it's on a shelf maybe it'll be $8,000 honestly that's the conclusion of
so many things these days it's just just just wait
just wait honestly at one point in time pre-ordering games wasn't that bad well
yeah they only asked for like a retainer yeah yeah you just put your five bucks
down and you could actually cancel your pre-order yeah now it's like NOP no no
it's yours now we gave you early access it's yours
nope buy the whole thing immediately so and the season passed by the season pass
too we'll give you like five bucks off yeah what the hell is that oh my god um
on that subject here we've got collectors itions not coming with
seasons passes yeah I know right what
it's like well we did give you like a sick you know metal tin yeah say it came
with a metal tit case collector's edition limited edition oh damn you know
what everything is technically limited edition that's true there is not an
unlimited amount of anything you're a limited
edition um so on that subject it's
unusual for a hardware maker to get involved in this kind of nonsense but
Sapphire maker of graphics cards put an
opinion piece on their
blog about pre-ordering and you can obviously tell
based on the Assassin's Creed Unity screenshot that they got going on at the
top of the blog post here that they're not in favor of pre-ordering uh but yeah
basically they're just like yeah blah blah blah paay a test it hurts the whole
industry today you have to put all this money on the table um
that's really I had no idea this was even in the dock 50 DLCs of pre-ordering
gray that's kind of a cute uh subheader there yeah but yeah there is so B
basically the the the the qu the the question at the end is this so there's
nothing about the current prepaid model that helps or is good for PC Gamers or I
would say Gamers at all how do we fix this it's easy stop pre-ordering the
group pre pre-order thing is so
crap God I hate that Tomb Raider did it
too and they're just like oh the more people that pre-order convince your
friends no shut up don't convince your
friends God like drug sales tactics well
it's it's like when get your friends hooked when the stupid elementary school
is like yeah go to everyone's door in your neighborhood and make them buy
random crap those assemblies which should be straight up
illegal God those are [ __ ] I cannot
believe at any level sorry this has always pissed me off even when I was a
little kid I can't believe it's legal on any level to take everyone out of class
put them in an assembly and give them a sales pitch that they have to push towards their parents so they can win a
stupid toy what the
hell how how is this okay anyway now in
certain cases it was used as a legitimate fundraiser for legitimate
things that you legitimate needed also
also I won the five the 5B the 5B
Hershey bar at my school one year so get
wrecked you're probably just jelly I literally never did it you're literally
just jelly and my parents I don't even know if they would have stopped me or
not but I was like this is dumb your parents are literally jelly I got a real
job and I could have just bought the five you know how much chocolate I had
Get Wrecked I could have just bought it
my my dad made me share it with my class I was so mad like Beyond
beyond beyond all mad like I had to help cut it up oh into
chunks to give to all my classmates I was like I would rather just not eat it
I would I would rather mount it to the wall
forever that totally sounds like you
too no I W this uh let me see if I can find the one
yeah here there's I've got some pictures online this so this is the one that I
this is the one that I that I won yeah was one of those yeah yep 5B Hershey bar
apparently they're more common than I had thought got lots of people
apparently there's a whole thing oh there's a whole thing of them yep there you go herey 5 pound chocolate bar
everyone's excited I would have been excited too if I didn't have to share
it uh what were we talking about po line is we're talking about pre-ordering
games we ended up there um speaking of
pre-ordering the HTC A9 oh yeah um okay
what's their point I don't get it oh that was this is so mean the ver the
verge's headline how to
copy okay see how they cleverly capitalized the T which normally
wouldn't be capitalized ah ah because of that campaign yeah yeah so the iPhone
clone could be the one I'm waiting for
um so basically it's kind of a a mid tier spec phone it's got a Snapdragon
617 which is super not that exceptional
um it's got a 1080p front facing camera which is which is kind of nice um I do
support the better selfie camera thing um because yeah for better for worse I
do find myself taking them from time to time with my kids that's my excuse take
them okay sorry not not not not caring about selfies but what is what is this I
don't understand HTC President says we're not copying app it's Apple that
copies us what oh okay so that that's a
separate article we're discuss that later but no we can we can tie that in
here so I wanted to give a brief rundown of the phone it has kind of middling
specs um it's good enough uh it comes in
at a fairly reasonable price in the US so it's $3.99 off contract uh it's not
clear to me if this will be a carrier phone or not D D D D D D D not sure the
Verge article doesn't cover it um but basically yeah it's got supposedly a
really great headphone jack so like a better deck that's actually something a
lot of guys are talking about uh rumors about the Galaxy S7 seem to indicate
that Samsung is putting a lot of emphasis on on better better sound
quality they're putting a really great deck in it um personally I haven't
really had an issue with anything from the past couple of generations and I
suspect most people don't either but yeah hey what going improve things now
yeah yeah where you going to improve things well the battery yeah improve the
battery than thank you God now I don't
have to say it um well apparently HTC thought they could improve their phone
by basically copying the iPhone from
pretty much every possible angle so this is Again The Verge like holy crap the
only differences that I can see between this and an iPhone are that it says HTC
on the back um like there's more buttons on
this side instead of that side and the
camera bump is in the middle instead of there I mean even looking at the bottom
there's there's more pictures here even looking at the bottom oh my god wow yep
yep that's that's a very similar thing that you're doing there pretty crazy hey
wow that's closer than I even thought and
so so in light of the accusations that
HTC has copied Apple's industrial design
uh HTC uh president has come out and said we're not copying out Apple it's
Apple that copies us we this is this is great we came up with the idea of
putting an antenna band on the phone like this apple copied that no I don't
think that's a design choice I think if Apple could avoid an antenna underwear
line they would probably do
it oh no um poor
HTC just so silly with that said so so
this this phone doesn't seem to oh to clear the 3.99 uh pricing is pre-order
only so it's going to be going up to I think $4.49 but don't quote me on that
um basically I see where they're going with this because while this phone is
not really capturing the hearts of enthusiasts I was actually on the XDA
Developers podcast earlier this week which I don't know if they've posted yet
because I should probably like pimp that spot it was actually pretty good podcast
I enjoyed it um while it's not
necessarily winning over like the tech heads I can see this selling in a store like
if I was shopping in a store and I didn't have enough money for an iPhone
and this HTC the one thing they have done well is the fit and finish of the
phone so if they achieve that fit and finish and they compromis some specs to
have it feel really good in the hand I think they could sell a ton of units I
think there's potential there for that
um yeah I mean I'm really disappointed that it has a really really really small
battery it's uh 21 something 21 something it's about 2100 milliamp hours
so uh HTC claims that the battery life with the phone is going to be very good
but my sort of counter to that would be well you're running Android marshmallow
it'll be one of the first phones with Android marshmallow so you're running
Android marshmallow uh which is probably where your power savings is coming from
so every other phone that actually also has a decent battery is also going to be
running marshmallow assuming it gets the upgrade so this is a very apples to
oranges comparison or at least it it would be if uh Android phones ever got
updates a whole other conversation Sor it's a 2150 milliamp
battery um I guess I don't know sponsor spots yes sure so sponsoring today's
episode we've got Dollar Shave Club Dollar Dollar
Shave Club Dollar Dollar Shave Club Dollar Dollar Shave Club do they have a
jingle no that wouldn't be it no no no
it wouldn't anyway so the point of Dollar Shave Club is that if you want to shave your face or your legs or your
chest or your arms or your butt crack whatever it is that you want to shave
Dollar Shave Club has high quality razors and they ship them straight to
your door so if you're worried about going out in public with a hairy butt
cracky that could be a thing you I mean you think about you know what
what or n Beach what' Your mother tell you right always wear clean underwear
because you never know when you're going to get hit by a bus right shave your
butt crack don't go out without shaving your butt crack that's the new sale
anyway sorry that's not the new sales pitch so basically high quality razor
straight to's shave butter would probably help with that MH for a few
bucks a month and one WIP Charlie they've got lots of great they've got
lots of great bathroom supplies uh razors Dr Carver shave butter that goes
on clear so you can see what you're doing might need a mirror for certain
things to see what you're doing but that's besides the point or under the point
or anyway um
where was I going with this right one WIP Charlies to clean the affected area
before you get no actually the one wipe Charlies are supposed to be separate
from the shaving products they're just butt wipes the point is for a few
dollars a month visit dollarshaveclub.com Linus and join the
club today also I must I must mention they are the one wipe Charlies are uh
labeled as butt wipes for men but all of these products have apparently been used
by female members of our audience or girlfriends or friends of male members
of our audience y so they could be like one wipe
Charlies Char yeah that's another one
wipe Char um no no I didn't mean French I
meant like Charlies the feminine oh okay well freshbooks.com

the Logitech g633 Luke is going to put on the headset
I've actually had a lot of people asking me for a review of this headset along
with the 933 so I was waiting for the
930 wow so I I can hear you less now I
was waiting for the 9:33 to arrive so that I could do them both at the same
time because I really don't think I need two separate videos of of these products
but the long and short of it is they've got 7.1 Dolby Surround Sound with the
Logitech gaming software they feature 40mm prog audio drivers and that's
really not the important thing about them it's really funny how like
headphone marketing comes down to all these like points that actually mean
nothing because it's all about the tuning of the drivers as opposed to the
actual size of them but so the pro G yes
that matters more that's the key whereas gamers are so used to being marketed to
with like driver size more cores that
you kind of have to get in line or you're going to have a hard time selling your headset really I I I don't think
Logitech should worry about that stuff MEAP pixels yeah megapixels I know right
megapixels and megahertz and color contrast so they're compatible the PC as
well as PlayStation 4 and Xbox One they've got adjustable RGB lighting and
custom tags and they feature a cardioid boom mic the very best sort of boom mic
because an omnidirectional boom mic would be super duper dumb have you seen
how the boom mic is super ninja uh yeah
actually yeah they showed it to me at pack do you want to show them though it might be uh it's available now on Amazon
you can pick them up at the link in the video description which I will also be
posting in the twitch chat which is now
did to go like over me so they can see it CU my shirt's black so I put it over
my throat that they can see it yeah so the point of the mic positioning is just
because it's it's actually really funny to me how many microphones you literally
cannot position optimally because most
people think the best place for the mic is right in front of the mouth that's
terrible because you get that pop pop pop pop pop theives you actually want it
at the corner of your mouth so having the length be adjust
is as important as having the height be adjustable for a
microphone plosives plosives I love it
when words kind of like are the thing that they're describing mhm like
cacophony I noticed that you know how I'm deaf in this year or whatever it's I
still hear bone conductivity stuff so when I was nodding my teeth rattled and
it was like super loud so I just kind of kept doing it okay in the shower this
morning the the like water falling on my
head sounded so cool we need to have a segment of the show called cool story
Luke all right so Tesla's auto pilot got
a speeding warning to be clear it was a warning not a ticket but it was
basically doing what 75 mph in a 60 Zone and like okay there's some things if I
could get to the topic that was help a lot there's some things that people have
to realize I'm not at the topic yet but it's like you're still supposed to kind
of drive the car like we talked about that last week like you're supposed to
still keep your hands on the wheel it's supposed to kind of try to figure out
zones but it's not going to stop you from going too fast um
so yeah it can know the speed limit without necessarily enforcing it on you
yeah and it it yeah I don't know so like
and also this was this was the video in question shows it being used on City
roads where the beta is actually only currently intended for Highway use where
15 M well 15 miles hour over is still
significant but not as big of a deal as it would be within the city like you're
a lot more likely to get a ticket within
City Limits than you are on the freeway um like it doesn't enforce a speed limit
at all it's able to detect the speed limit or it should be able to detect the
speed limit but it doesn't enforce it in any way so so some folks are saying the
driver is at fault and the autopilot did what it was intended to do um as soon as
it detected a possible Collision it issued a collision warning and
disengaged and the driver was prompted to take control of the vehicle and this
is why musk went straight up said okay
this is beta Keep Your Hands on the Wheel this is beta and people dis
disregarded that immediately there's so many videos on YouTube of like oh look
it's driving itself and I'm like don't do that not the point you're going to
ruin self-driving cars for all of us yes
please don't screw up right now yeah thank you we need you to just
participate in the beta be a good beta tester and just go on with your life or
don't also would be fine um speaking of
going on with your life how could you go on with your life if you didn't have one
of these amazing what LT ugly Christmas
sweater design when show shirts I haven't actually seen these what the
green one is awesome yep the there's a red one the green one is Ballin and
we've got like I didn't know there was so many different colors we've got like gray and stuff so legitimately have not
seen these before yeah I I'm I'm definitely getting the green on there's
still a couch yeah I know well all Ed
did was like kind of modernize the
existing fist design so both of our
shirt Graphics are replaced by Christmas trees there's a Christmas tree in the
background and there's like wait so are
we going to get the shirts that are on the shirt or are we going to get the
shirts we're going to get these that we're looking at right now okay yeah so
uh these are over at teespring.com Christmas no I like the green I think
the green is the ugliest one Green's pretty fantastic for a holiday sweater
so I'm I'm pretty stoked my holiday sweater last year was green and yours
was red so this year we can go you green and you I saw mine in the in my drawer
today cuz I was pulling out a pulling out my keep on digging hoodie which was
awesome because uh Ubisoft did something stupid if I recall correctly um and I
was talking about it on netlink today so I was wearing my tee keep on taking sh I
was like yeah baby um but uh but yeah I am super
excited about this design it's going to be awesome I don't think I I don't think
there even was a minimum goal for how many of these we were expecting to sell
like I think this is very much just to like we kind of wanted some hey if
you're into this then cool we're getting them I want one I want more than one
yeah I'm definitely getting one cuz I think it's awesome yeah um Nick told me
that there's some kind of complicated roll out of these like we're doing a
campaign on Teespring and then it's like a short one and then we're doing another
one or something anyway I don't know for now teespring.com whenn
Christmas all right what else we got going on here this is I love this kind
of news where it's just like yeah Microsoft
news.com Microsoft confirms the surface book is two times more powerful than a
MacBook Pro okay then so it's okay Nick I don't
care um so basically they they they said
something along the lines of that during the original unveiling of the surface
book and then many articles out there were kind of going well hold on a second
what the what the crap are you guys actually talking about so Microsoft
claimed this was the claim it is ounce for ounce pound for pound the fastest
13-in laptop ever made anywhere on the planet so when asked for clarification
they gave the following statement our validated performance claims are for the
Microsoft Surface Book with an Intel Core i7 and 16 gigs of RAM and custom
discre NVIDIA GeForce GPU against the MacBook Pro 13-in with Retina Display
with an Intel Core i7 with 16 gigs of RAM we used thirdparty benchmarks to
test the best available Surface Book against the best available MacBook Pro
but what they're not saying is what benchmarks cuz you could run a game on
it and be like yeah it's twice fast so um it's really good yeah which would
have zero applicability to me as a Surface Book buyer like what I'm going
to game on this thing you for real it's like just cuz you guys call something
XBox doesn't make it gaming MH like that console that they released
well oh dang that's a little rough yeah
sorry that was it's best for watching TV mainly Sports um I don't know like like
you said at the very beginning it's from Microsoft news.com so I don't really
care at all I'll wait till someone else validates this like us are we getting
one well no uh yeah I bought one uh and Microsoft news is even this is not
Microsoft's own site it's just microsoft.com but they're even saying
like this is stupid you have told us nothing okay and because we already know
like you can't you don't just get to defy the laws of physics our core i7
based on a slightly newer design and a slightly higher clock speed and actually
very similar performance per CL Pro throttle is twice as fast no the MacBook
Pro doesn't throttle if it does it doesn't much what one throttle do the 2015 MacBook performs about half as well
as it could in multi-threaded workloads and that's another thing is it's because
we don't know what benchmarks we know nothing about the workloads and it's
basically meaningless speaking of things that are
basically meaningless this is great Fallout 4
the disc will not actually contain the
entire game I hope H that's so stupid it's
apparently in some effort to stop piracy
but as everyone ever should know that will mean absolutely nothing um so yeah
hopefully it comes with the vast majority of the game because a lot of
people that I know these days including me at this point are still interested in
physical games because of download cap yep it's a lot to download some Modern
games like there's quite a few modern games they're like 50 gigs if you have
to update Star Citizen like oh God it's
a lot of data and every single time I do that like 50 gigs is 10% of my download
cap for the month for the month yep so
like if I download a game or two like oh dang there goes 20% of my download cap
holy crap like oops so buying physical games is still a thing for quite a few
people and if you leave a huge chunk of your game off that can be a problem so
hopefully it's just like a couple key files that are small yeah that's kind of
what I'm hoping so the PC will require activation on Steam the console does not
um yeah Ian I get using steam as DRM I I
especially get if the key that they provide is also a steam key so that I at
least have the option to download it because I mean not that I'm condoning
this but that at least gives Gamers the option to download it at work or
something and take it home on a thumb drive which I'm sure you've probably
done already I've done that tons of times we don't have a bandwidth cap here I've abused that to no end me too I've
come to work with flash driv so many times yep that's like why steam is
installed on my work computer yeah I mean it on Steam it particularly helps
but on some of the other ones where it's much more difficult to download the game
files and then just drag like I really I really don't understand if anyone from
EA or Ubisoft is watching right now drag
and drop install is like half the point of steam for me being able to put all my
game files on a Nas and then just drag
and drop a game over to my SSD that I want to play at that moment versus
downloading the stupid thing again has a huge value like and and you would get
rid of a lot of this whole data cap issue because you know you got your
group of gamer friends or whatever so you take turns being the sacrificial
lamb to download the game game and then just share it on USB driver like there's
still a place foral dat sharing every
time I go to a land party uh you make sure someone shows up with the USB hard
drive that has everything on it so and you just pass it around whenever I don't
have a problem with online validation of the license that's fine but make it make
it simple make the files easy and make the files easy yeah um so here's a rumor
and the uh original
original post here seems to be from Nintendo forums so I'm really not sure
how this qualifies as news but it's in our DOC for some reason so we might as
well talk about it if for no reason other than to talk about how console
rumors should all be completely ignored
because most of them come from console fans and no offense but it seems like a
lot of the really rabid console fans have no idea what the hell they're
talking about when it comes to Hardware the Xbox One play
4K remember that it's like remember how
big of a thing that was yeah it's like
actually 720p on like everything and you
know what this the stupid thing is you can't even talk to these people because you're like okay let's let's take a step
back for a minute here okay it has an HDMI 1.4 Port okay so let's let's take a
step back from that and let's look at it an HDMI 1.4 Port no no no the Xbox one
is not magic no it is not magic okay so let's take a step back again not magic
it's not magic okay HDMI 1.4 that means
3840 by 2160 30 FPS Max okay so you're
either playing at 30 FPS which is not cinematic no no no no it's not cinematic
or you're playing at 1080P and then they didn't even get that
or you're actually going to end up playing at 7 cinematic
960p oh that's rough um anyway so the
rumor here at any rate is that um and
part of this makes a little bit of sense because relative to what console gamers
are used to um an updated Nintendo console might look like something super
powerful uh right now uh because
Nintendo has gone ahead with that rumored strategy it looks like of more
frequent release Cycles I mean the other
console guys are are also rumored to be
working on Replacements much sooner than the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 got
replaced but um now we're we're seeing rumors that Nintendo is
actually pushing forward with the Nintendo NX and we could be seeing it
relatively soon so a faster refresh cycle Midway through a longer cycle from
your competitors could put you hardware-wise in a much more competitive
place without spending more this is something that we've talked about a lot
um regarding future proofing the concept of future proofing on the PC where
actually compared to buying a single $5,000 computer you are much better off
buying a modest $1,500 computer today
modest waiting well relatively modest
versus going completely like over the top and quad SLI this and that buying
buying just sort of a bang for the buck computer now waiting 2 years while
you're having a great gaming experience with that buying another one then you
have like an extra computer waiting another couple years buying another one
that strategy you spent $500 less and I guarantee you by the end of that period
of time by the time games are coming out that are actually leveraging the better
Hardware that last computer you have is way better than the one that you would
have bought for five grand in the first place this is something we've talked about time and time again you only buy a
super expensive computer if you just don't care if you're just like whatever
don't care then that's fine that's cool go for it but there's even better
reasons for stuff like water cooling because a lot of times you can step
those up very easily things like uh well
monitor is not so much anymore I used to say that but monitor technology is
moving so fast right now yeah uh speakers okay speakers a great pair of
headphones um actually I think I think peripherals are changing slowly enough
now that you buy a great gaming they like a a little crazy burst they kind of
stopped and then now it's kind of okay you either want cherry or kaiwa switches
and kind of razor switch k um so so so I
would say yeah you buy peripherals things you interact with every day I do
believe in spending a fair bit of money on but the actual like the CPU or the S
Storage is a great one never over buy storage just get what you need and
expend it as you go anyway so the rumor
is they will have incredibly powerful Hardware in the Nintendo n x and it was
said that one software demo included with the kit crunches so many polygons
that it's currently impossible to run at 60 FPS using a current generation Intel
CPU and near topof thee line graphics card which means
nothing
nothing can't emphasize that enough it means nothing so the point of this rumor
topic is that we should ignore
rumors um and the next rumor yeah and the next rumor the Snapdragon 820
rumored to be 50% more powerful than the Samsung exos 7420 which actually makes a
whole ton of sense because finally for the first time in a while we've got a
manufacturing process shrink that will account for that 50% performance
Improvement pretty much right there and back to you
Tom and our next rumor nope not a rumor
no no more rum Microsoft is apparently is there more rumors okay let's see if
there more have more rumors
uh uh uh it's rumored that China is
still hacking the US okay that's not too
surpris it's not really rumored that's more accused they're denying it um of
course of course they are wow we've actually still got some great topics
Samsung Galaxy S7 specs leaked alth okay okay okay okay we got another
rumor boys yeah we got another rumor oh this one's from wccf wccf
T so basically so they just got a picture I love I love it when the rumor
article just have a picture of the current product cuz it's like yes this
rumor is so unsubstantiated that we couldn't even find a render that that a
user created we actually just need to use the current phone um so the S7 is
apparently getting this this is great I love it when a phone rumor it's rumored
it will feature better performance better multimedia capabilities and an
improved camera not a battery NVIDIA's new
flagship graphics card rumored to to include better display interfaces faster
processing and more RAM maybe even Cuda
course more Cuda cor you have got to be
kidding me um so basically that that's the rumor
though 20 megapixel camera
um uh exos 8890 or Snapdragon 820 it's
not clear if they're going to do one or the other or a split strategy they have
done that before different processors in different markets
um let's go back to something that's that's not r as rumor meal yeah um oh I
wanted to talk about this what another wccf tech article actually but uh uh one
of the recent um FastTrack builds of
Windows 10 has introduced a new prompt
when you try to switch your default browser from Edge it was already super
annoying where it actually is like can you confirm versus just immediately
applying it once I click Chrome um so it
had already did that but apparently it's something along lines of give Microsoft
Edge a shot just like come on you guys Edge is
a piece of trash it's almost as bad as Bing I'm
sorry almost as bad as Bing and you know
why did they change how you change program defaults why do I have to go
into some stupid menu now yeah that's so dumb they're trying to make it harder um
so let's bring up um let's go to let's go to bing.com let's try and search for
something um so this this was something I was looking for the other day uh Dude
Perfect social blade
okay user Dude
Perfect oh that must not be the real dude perfect hold on a
second okay oh must be Dude Perfect
TV yeah okay so it like super gave you
theong except that's not it what nope
not it either it only got 150,000 subscribers I think it's a secondary
Channel or something okay maybe the oh no wait that's oh oh hold on a second
here it is it's Corey cotton because he's been grandfathered in under the old
rules he had a bad name that that wasn't changed oh okay so I was searching for
this I'm like how did this not find this so every time I use Bing like I swear
every time I use Bing and it didn't even manage to bring me the social blade page
every time I use Bing it's like why do I hate this this is why first hit Cory
cotton social blade this is the real
dude perfect Channel with all six million of its subscribers and all that
crap it's like Bing you're even ripping off Google search results you still
can't get them right you still are not even
close why don't I use Bing that's why because every single time I use it like
probably half the time I use a web browser I'm trying to troubleshoot something and I swear you can put in
quotes an exact error message in bing it manages to find something
else kind of garbage that had nothing to do with Edge though yeah sorry back to
back to Edge so basically they're just like give Edge a shot have you given
Edge a shot yeah I have I don't like it I have not when you first when you first
launch it it hides your stupid it puts
your stupid address bar in a different place yes is I'm just like why do I have
to click here to move the address bar here who thought that was an intuitive
design no one I hope um
yeah uh anyway sorry where I was going with this is Google's been slinging some
crap at Microsoft for sort of their behavior with Edge and making it more
difficult for people to switch to Chrome but I actually noticed something
absolutely hilarious on uh the iPhone
the other day and I I wish I could screen share this with you or something but I'm really not set up for that so
that but I you'll just have to take my word for it so in Google Docs when you
when you click on a link that you want to open okay you go over open link this
is great the menu is from from top to bottom download
Chrome open in Safari or cancel and you
cannot say don't ask me again so for Google to be slinging crap
that's pretty rough about this kind of stuff it's
like yeah can you not please cuz it's
not like you're not guilty of this too that's pretty rough like that's some
pretty brutal stuff like I act like try trying to read um trying to read the
articles from the wow doc earlier today the number of times I almost
accidentally downloaded Chrome was pretty frustrating and I use Safari on
the iPhone now uh because Force touch is freaking awesome for web browsing or 3D
touch or whatever they call it I don't care um but the pressure sensitive touch
screen right do we have anything else um
yeah there's a couple more cool things this is really neat the the Apple patent
for um an active screen shattered screen
protector so these drawings are really cool so basically um in much the same
way that hard drives are capable of using accelerometers to detect that
they're in freef fall and brace for an impact Park the heads um Apple has
patented A system that would allow Corner little like rubber or some kind
of protectors to pop up when the phone detects it in freeall and keep the
screen from impacting the ground directly very cool technology would love
see this fully protect it but it will help it will help it's a whole lot
better than nothing that's true which is what we have now because like if you have a rocks still fall well if you have
the phone fall with the screen with the rock hitting the middle of it it won't
matter at all but if you drop it on a tile floor that it'll help you know or a
concrete floor or wooden floor like there's a lot of places you can drop it
where it would help so here's the proposed mechanism that would have the
protector kind of roll up inside the phone interesting so basically I guess
they still don't intend to give me better B batter life but at least my screen won't shatter this is very
beneficial for Apple along with the way that they stealthily mostly waterproofed
the 6s uh because the reseller and
tradein market for the iPhone is huge
business for them so preventing shattered screens and water damage is
actually in Apple's best interest for the sake of that whole ecosystem
protecting the resale value of these products yeah very cool very cool
stuff um talked about Sapphire blog post already talked about China yep yep
Sprint find who cares another ISP fine for doing another stupid thing oh this
is great uh Facebook is draining your
battery because it's tracking your location so this is actually some oh
Facebook has identified two issues behind the battery drain the company
announced and said it has solved the problem with an update so I I would like
to see if I log into Facebook now on my Droid Turbo if it still drains my
battery right yeah um but there you go apparently this is resolved I I guess we
didn't pull it off the dock um oh eaco
Peter Moore criticizes HD remasters and
backwards compatibility so kind of went and took the high road on the one thing
and then went and was kind of a butthole on the other thing cuz like I can think
of a lot of reasons why backwards compatibility is super important reason
number one my Wii's optical drive is
dead so if my Wii U which I don't have
one but if I ever were to get a Wii U and I wanted to play Wii games on it if
if I were to get a Wii U it would be super cool that it could play Wii games
because Hardware that is end of life and
is not being manufactured anymore can can die and that's a thing so backwards
compatibility is actually super cool um as for criticizing HD remasters I have
very mixed feelings about this this is something I wanted to disc I don't mind HD remasters at all I'm okay with them
too I would actually super love for there to be a remaster of Final Fantasy
6 for example I'd love for there to be a remaster of warwind yeah I don't mind
remasters at all not even slightly some it's a little bit frustrating when it
seems like all a company does is remaster old games yep but I'd rather
they remaster their old good games than make new CRA yes I also agree but maybe
we're just getting old there's a sad thought I kind of
doubt it to be completely honest yeah who cares
all right fair enough remasters of old
movies don't really work the same
way was I I'm sorry I think you changed gears on me a little bit there was I
talking about movies no oh okay you're talking about us being old but it's not
just cuz we're old oh because I don't just like I still like the nostalgic
value of old movies so do movie reboots work for you or no it depends us not I
would say there's been some pretty good ones
like what though let's have a look okay Google can answer this for let's let's
give Bing a shot oh God top movie
reboots it's probably been good like a few times movie remakes okay um okay so
they managed about.com okay let's let Google try top 10 movie
remakes all right oh look at that we get
oh I don't I don't know if some of these are really that applicable remix uh
movies fre mentioned on the web W this is Google let us down cuz I'm pretty
sure no one weren remade remake True
Lies um pretty sure that's not a thing
oh like H yeah that's very interesting
okay so anyway okay well let's find out which one of the top linked articles is
better so about so the Magnificent 7
haven't seen it Casino Royale okay there
there's there's a there's a wait hold on a second what that's not a remake
H okay what some may not consider this a
remake but George Lucas acknowledges a
debt to the Hidden Fortress as a source of
inspiration
what okay all
right uh all right so let's have a look at this
one three 10 to Yuma top 10 best remakes
the fly okay I haven't seen either of those
they're both from before I was born
well okay I don't they're not better
because they're not really a thing because reboots I'm definitely
okay with I mean looking at I loved the way Star Trek got rebooted some people
might hate on me for that reboots I think are okay like like I joked on
Twitter about how like the only movie that matters is hackers and it should
just be remastered and rebooted and Hollywood should just quit it was an
obvious joke some people thought I was serious which was weird um but like I
don't want them to remake hackers right that would be the worst hackers doesn't
make sense in 2015 hackers make sense when it was
filmed right and it was great back then and like I don't know I don't know you
know what else would be better in a year that wasn't 20 15 fake reviewers this is
great I am so glad to see Amazon going
after people for this I'm always glad when I see good Amazon things in the
news because like we pimp Amazon at the end of like all of our videos we're like
yeah buy from Amazon with our affiliate code it's cool um so this is a great
thing that they are definitely doing for the industry uh so they're actually
going after fraudulent reviewers that
are using multiple accounts and ordering empty Parcels to avoid ction and who are
working with manufacturers to post fake
five-star reviews on the website so the
defendants named as John do and referred to only by their usernames offered to
write fraudulent reviews for as little as $5 and this is an Amazon statement uh
takes the credibility of its customer reviews very seriously an unhealthy
ecosystem has developed outside of Amazon to supply reviews in exchange for
payment and I mean things like verified owner do help a lot I generally speaking
ignore anything that's not a verified purchase on Amazon yeah but that doesn't
change that the like the overall star rating is affected by all of them one
thing Amazon could do actually this is kind of a smart idea sometimes I have
those if if anyone from Amazon is watching maybe give us a way to filter
um the verified purchases from the non-verified purchases in the star
rating that would be super cool
um yeah so I I I guess that's all there is to really say about it other than
that that practice sucks and we hate it everyone in chat's freaking freaking
out about Fallout 4 but the Fallout 4 is done for like three weeks or something
two and a half weeks so yeah you got a collector's edition right yes very
narrowly yeah um there was there was wave one which like I was at work or
somewhere I was doing something so I didn't have a chance to get it and then
there was wave two which I didn't hear about until it was over cuzz they like
stores randomly got more stock like all over the place but there wasn't that
much stock and I didn't hear about it so I didn't get the collector edition thing
and then a while later I was trying to see like oh I wonder how much they are
on like eBay or something cuz if it's like slightly more then sure but I knew
it would be ridiculous and it was like $700 and I was like okay nope not doing
that obviously so on Twitter I'm like does anyone know of anywhere where it's
not ridiculous and some dude's like oh I have a huge backlog and I'm just going
to cancel my pre-order so you can just take it I was
like wow that's pretty nice so he messaged me on the Forum and we worked
out everything and it's going to be fine this is so funny uh I can't believe we
didn't mention this uh YouTube calling
sorry back to YouTube Red them calling it YouTube Red like really did no one at
YouTube figure out the similarity to another online video site that's also
red and also has two name I I just can't
even I can't even I just can't even
like yeah this week's man show brought yeah you know here why why don't we
let's end the let's end the show and let's uh let's kick into Afterparty mode for a couple minutes here because I got
a couple sort of not safe for w show topics um so let's go ahead and roll the
outro my ear like hurts right got know a lot works like
