boom and we're live hey all right hey
welcome to the went show this week we have john it's been a while it has been
a while i do you don't remember the last time no i don't i remember the audience
i vaguely remember a santa hat maybe so hentai has probably been the one okay
but yeah that might have been the like uh i i've done this every year
where i bring each person on to the show yeah at the end well it might have been
that yeah when i got stuck at the u.s border people are saying john but
they're spelling it wrong oh no someone spelled it right that happens literally
every time like it happens to me on twitter and my name is right there it's
on twitter if they send you a message it has the at and then the correct spelling
of your name and if you're on the forum you might know in my signature i'd say i
stole my name without an h people still get it wrong so i'm just i'm used to it
by now i don't even notice it anymore yeah well that's alive i do but you know
my problem is that i know like three different spellings of john well
no one of them was johnny i guess oh yeah okay his is like actually kind of
weird for johnny what is because it's five letters yeah yeah
so i don't know yeah we're talking about the guy that
does some of our server work here who was also my landlord funnily enough and
and people have seen him on camera oh yeah they have so yeah johnny's johnny's
basically the nicest person on the entire planet but he can't make it to so
every single year we'll get into the show in a second don't worry but every single year i since i was like 15 i've
been going to pax west and i bring all my friends every time and johnny can't
make it this time and really very weird
it's actually like very very weird that he's not going to be that really a
strange the rest of people that have been go that are gonna be going are all
like it's so weird that johnny's not gonna what are we gonna do
i don't know i feel like he would be the straw that serves a drink so to speak so
yeah yeah so it'll be it'll be interesting but it should be good this
week we have interesting news because like computex is happening and e3 is
right around the corner and all this kind of stuff there's interesting stuff going on we don't have a lot of gaming
news quite yet because i think that'll probably be next week um
but we've got Intel news a unnamed 28 core 56 thread CPU we've got news about
second gen threadripper being on track for a q3 2018 launch that means this
year also massive changes to the steam store we were talking about this
recently on awan show it's gonna be crazy i actually think it's super cool
but we'll talk about that later there's an obscene amount of notes on that uh
AMD unveiling a seven nanometer GPU
that's insane Gigabyte making fake RAM
and it's actually really cool
so it's kind of like bonded leather
i understand that and then actually my favorite news of this week even though
it doesn't necessarily sound super cool see sonic introducing scmd
and your cable clutter it's amazing i can't show you what it is right now i'm
getting one for suresies but we'll have to talk about the jerseys i'm constantly
kicking the cables underneath my desk in my office they won't help you with that
it's like cables inside your computer but it's super cool we'll get there later
it worked this week is going well yes
it was going well until i died again rip
also Anthony bourdain died yes i know very sad he was what 61 i think i don't
know i liked him though that sucks
freshbooks ltx be there or or don't but preferably
be there if you can because it's cool and i'd like to say hi also squarespace
yeah i'm gonna put this back up here and
we're back boom okay that's all it takes when show
intro completed let's move up to the top
because we've got this crazy Intel processor that has some interesting news
coming with it thank you by the way to vegetable stew and radiating light for
soil vegetable stew i see we do there oh very clever oh yeah i'm gonna post this
link in the wan doc you look like you had something to say do you
i was just commenting on vegetables too although i did cover this today well
james covered it but i wrote the thing today for techlink on this story oh so
okay yeah so do you have any interesting quips from that because you definitely
know more about it than i do i have some interesting things to bring up but okay
what do you think okay well without i guess without running through the bullet
points first so i'll give a quick tl dr sure yeah so computex Intel shows off
this 28 core 56 thread CPU and they did
this demo of it and it was like oh man the CPU is running at five gigahertz
it's so cool um so after it happened um a few people
noticed that there was a gigantic weird like
industrial water chiller sticking out the back of the unit um i think they had
it set up such that you couldn't see it straight on when they were actually doing the demo
so but that wasn't even like the worst of it they also said this chip was
running at five gigahertz not telling people that it had actually in fact been
overclocked so a lot of people were thinking that oh this thing is just
going to run this freaking 28 chord xeons is going to run at 5 gigahertz out
of the box which was not the case at all Intel got called out on it they had to
acknowledge it and then they ended up saying oh well they blamed it on
quote unquote the excitement of the moment or something like that and they
said that their guy running the demo just forgot he forgot to say oh by the
way this is not running at stock speed so people were very understandably upset
about that lame but honestly i can kind of
understand if it's just the demo guy that forgot to say it
now if there was like pressed documents given out to any degree
it should have it in there and the guy shouldn't forget admittedly i'm not sure
if there were documents handed out but i have no idea i think it was just whoever
was running the demo said five gigahertz come on man don't forget that so the
processor is clocked at 2.7 gigahertz
normally and without revealing turbo speeds which
they haven't done they were able to overclock it to five gigahertz which is
pretty crazy um the demo setup was
cooled by an 850 dollar uh aquarium chiller which consumes which
the chiller alone consumes 1200 watts and is meant to be
able to cool a thousand liters of water so we have just found an actual
use if you buy a 1600 watt power supply
we finally found a real world usage so you run a 400 watt computer
1200 watt chiller that would be sick i'd love to see that
so yeah it's it's pretty cool um we'll have to see how freaking hot this thing
actually gets normally um and how high you can overclock it
with reasonable cooling solutions and i'm sure Linus will be all over that
once he's able to get his hands on it or to find reasonable like was a 480
millimeter radiator reasonable or that's fairly aggressive yeah but it's
not the same it's way more reasonable
yeah yeah like even like a triple personally i would like to see a double
red a double 120 or a double 140 yeah that that's very if you whatever you can
overclock it on that that's solid because i think that's probably where
most people kind of are when they're yeah like really wanting to be an overclock a nice thick thi cc
but still regular sized radiator yeah cool i'd be cool with that so okay
that'll be interesting next up in crazy
processor news we've got a post from alex solo thank you very much saying
that the second generation threadripper is on track for a q3 2018
launch it's AMD zeppelin silicon let me get
this on screen and in the twitch zeppelin so we've moved away from like
earth moving material and now we're doing blimps
and awesome music
okay there we go
cool 12 nanometer 3264
second gen features i know a lot of people are saying like
oh it's it's not it's not the most exciting processor ever
i don't care is there well i'm happy that i i'm mainly just stoked that
they're continuing to step forward instead of abandoning for a huge section of years
again well is there anything as like a most exciting process or ever anymore
even just with the white stream there's some really exciting computer hardware
later on in the show i am so stoked for this you have no idea i think most of
people in chattanooga be like yawn but i think it's amazing so don't worry about
it but yeah i i think this is super cool it's i think it's great that they're
pushing forward again with Threadripper going with their big heavy hitter as
well bringing out another one this year definitely that's super cool they're not
backing down it's 3264 which is sick um i'm really excited for this process
that's insane um 250 watt TDP
boom so boom many
don't even care super cool
well not not in a literal sense but yeah
it's nice and warm actually uh they've they've got it displayed next to some
nhu 14s which aren't even that huge
so that's not too bad yet that's a beautiful looking board good
job MSI
i like that aesthetic looks cool
that one too ASUS
everyone has cool boards these days i like that like when i first got into
computers it was like oh wow you got a board with a black pcb yeah that's
amazing even having a non-green like it felt like back in like 2009 2010 it was
like oh the pcb is blue buy this and
that was it yeah yeah yeah and now we have like like this one has like under
lighting that's RGB and like metal accents and like aggressive little thing
over the io like they look so cool now i don't know that's pretty sweet but yeah
this is cool i'm very happy that uh they're they're launching another
processor i know some people aren't that interested like i was saying earlier uh
AMD zeppelin silicon has eight cores and is the first generation threadripper and
the first generation threadripper uses two of them to get the top skew of 16
cores that's written a little oddly but hopefully that makes sense yeah um
moving on
yeah i think that's pretty much about it yeah uh rumors are saying august and
there's no pricing yet yeah so coming up hopefully hopefully you got the dollar
bills for it if you need 64 threads yeah i was gonna say if you need that uh if
you need that it's probably for some type of work application so hopefully it's okay i would say almost certainly
for work yeah like maybe there's someone out there just really likes benchmarking
just freaking loves it or like is just really really into editing home videos
in like wicked quality yeah exactly like like
someone else i need to have cinema level quality of my kid playing ball just
spent like five figures on like a red or something and like i need yes i need to
look make the driveway ball hockey yeah look like it was put together by
i need to film my kids schooling the neighbor kid in hockey with a red yeah
and then edit it very efficiently so when they send like the kids like hockey
mix takes the junior leagues they're to be like the production values are
amazing are we going to have to bring this kid 100
uh moving on to the next topic posted by matrix07012
uh james and i were someone is yelling what the heck i don't
know if uh twitch got to hear that but james and i were talking about this last
week uh twitch took a game
down where you were a school shooter wait
twitch or steam did sorry steam did okay completely i don't know i just i
said twitch because i was clicking on the twitch tab and it just like invaded
my brain but yeah steam took a game down because it was like about a school
shooter uh also twitch chat apparently heard the yell so thank you april um but
yeah and my stance on that was essentially if
twitch wants to do this if this is within twitch's policies why do i keep
saying twitch if steem wants to do this and this is within steam's policies
maybe you're turning aggressively yeah you're turning you're actually turning
red i don't like saying the wrong thing man let's go yeah you probably can't
tell at home but this guy this guy looks like a lobster right now like like to me
so i have very pale skin so it shows really easy
uh it's it's that scandinavia in me um
but yeah i i think it's completely within their right to take it down some
people were screaming for free speech and i'm like this isn't a government
platform it's it's a company if they don't want to have yeah they could they
can do basically yeah but i also really like what they
ended up doing which is saying that we don't care anymore yeah so what they're
doing now is they're only removing items that are
actually illegal or straight up trolling
quote from them so but unless it's one of those two things then the game is
probably fine so yeah so like my my stance on this is
interesting because people there's actually a surprise amount of people that have asked me about this um
because of how i run the forum and how i run flow plane
because they're actually so different on the forum things get axed yeah all the
time this is a tech forum stop screwing
around we're gonna get rid of that it's a little bit it's a little bit different though because you're on the forum you
have to like keep peace between users or it falls apart this is just a store
where you if you don't yeah if you don't want to act interact with anyone you
don't have to and it's also like the the center of the topic here is
supposed to be games yeah not a type of game and the
center of the thing on the forum is tech news you guys are tech stuff in general
i was thinking the tech news section but the computer stuff tech stuff gaming
stuff whatnot if you're going outside of that it might make sense and off topic
but if it's too far like we're not we don't want to mess with that kind of stuff sure is a
tech focused forum Floatplane on the other hand
is a website for creators
if you are a user and you go on Floatplane and you don't want to see a
certain type of content don't give the person who makes that content your money
and you won't see it it's fairly straightforward so i don't
really care what people do on the platform and i don't i don't want to care i can i
can have the stance personally where i'm like as a personal human being as luke i
don't like this content i don't necessarily hope that they do
well i don't hope that they have a big audience but i'm just going to vote with
my wallet but i'm going to facilitate their platform and be impartial because
okay i am acting on behalf of a platform um and i will do nothing to hinder them
in any way um because that would be bad were you
saying that the steam store was allowing the school shooting game or they took it
down i think they took it down but i think that was
um because right now they're they're going
with the allow everything approach but i believe they took it down um and i
believe they're keeping it down because i'm pretty sure the guy that made it was already banned from releasing games and
he made it as a troll i'm pretty sure okay which they are reserving the right
to kick off another interesting question is uh what
even is a game because you can publish stuff on steam
is it a game if it's a visual novel and you just click next constantly
processing respects yeah does it now make it a game if there's multiple
options to click next that still could be a visual novel it's
just a choose your own adventure visual novel does that make it a game does that not make a game it's a it's an
interesting conversation what's up um so this is why this is why i've sort of
been like silent for a second um because i think uh so okay here we go steven's
policy change follows the platform's banning of controversial school shooting
simulation game active shooter so yes you were you were correct so they they
took this down yeah yeah but i think so like
i think what this is saying is that they would have left it up
but yeah this guy was already banned off the platform yeah they are he they think
he's trolling he's a notorious troll he has a record of having terrible customer
service and all this other kind of like there's other reasons why they wanted to
take this thing down um so i think they're leaving it down
because of those reasons gotcha uh
it's it's gonna be an interesting time because i think this is gonna spawn
not that there isn't already but i think it will spawn an incredible amount more
of garbage on steam
there is already a lot of garbage because there's no law against like a
bad game yeah so yeah yeah i know i know what you mean so so they have yeah
they've it's it's interesting and another thing that they were talking about is how
apparently uh there was a lot of controversy in the community as to
whether or not they should allow everything or they should ban
a whole bunch of different stuff or whatever there was a lot of controversy in the community right a lot of people
were angry that they took this game down i'm not
first of all i don't care second of all i think it's their right to do whatever
they want is their platform and third of all they already didn't like the
publisher bad customer service troll band already in the past so there's many
reasons but some people were very upset that they took it down some people were
very uh some people think they should have taken
it down some people think they shouldn't have basically and what valve has said
is internally apparently they've had essentially that same war
they have like the same spectrum of people that are outside
talking about this inside the company so they've essentially decided if if the
community is all mixed and we're all mixed we'll kind of let the community
sort it out well yeah i mean you talk about like a lot of trash potentially
showing up on the platform but you know this is the same for like the app store
or this is the same for google play there's a lot of stuff there that all
that google or apple have done have vetted to say this does not contain
malware but other than that there's no guarantee as to the quality
of what you're buying but the model still works especially on steam where i
feel like it's easier to filter out stuff that you don't want to see as far as like recommendations or whatever i do
think they'll need to do a much better job of categorizing and filtering things i know
they do some suggestions already but they need to amp up that system i know
that uh they plan on
making it so there's parental controls in terms of what stuff you can see and
what stuff you can't see obviously that's gonna have to come in so like
theoretically you wouldn't be able to see active
shooter or uh a game with twice or something yeah
banging simulator 2019 unless you have your settings to be uh
to be allowed to see those types of waifu banging simulator it's 2019. it's
yeah it's next year yeah 10 more poly already yeah it's amazing
it's the best game if it even is a game i don't know um
moving on to my favorite thing in this
show i don't know if everyone else is going to agree with me but i think it's freaking fantastic and i'm getting one
for suresies this was posted by wmk groom ak on the
forum uh it is a pc per article and it's
from sea sonic it is the seasonic scmd
let's have a look at this thing it's the system cable management device that's
what you think they could have you know what i would say you think they would
come up with like if they're going to have a four-letter name they could do something sexy you know like the nzxt
puck or whatever it is yeah scmd doesn't
i'm just gonna go down to the store and buy some scrimmed uh so what's cool
about this is it's this bar
what is this sound good um someone is shuffling through some equipment over
there um sorry about that twitch chat but it and youtube later on but it's
this bar that you can put into the back of your computer you can see there's
some ssds mounted here and stuff and you plug all your power supply cables into
the bottom of the bar and then you branch off them later on higher up so
it's yeah speaking of nzxt they have um a few of their cases on it's like you
know the s340s for this they have the cable management bar built in but this
one looks a little a little bit more like a one size fits most kind of solution yes
and my understanding of it right now is like because in this picture in this
picture it shows that it's connected directly to the power supply
but uh this bar you can see is off by itself
there like i don't i don't have a ton of pictures of this thing but my
understanding is that you should be able to get it separately that's what yeah it kind of i mean if
they're going to if they're going to enter if they're going to introduce
this thing called the skoomed and they'll make a
big deal out of it you would think that you could buy it without buying a seasonic power supply so apparently that
is an RGB logo so this c sonic logo is
RGB uh can i say i'm a little bit surprised by this because it's RGB see sonic's
whole like mo as a company they're they're very like straightforward not a
whole lot of frills like if any of y'all if y'all follow see sonic on twitter you
probably know what i'm talking about but the stuff they make is pretty good so i
really like even something even we were not compensated to say that just
personal opinion but um but uh well if you look at my uh personal rig there's a
season right yeah dude has a csun yeah that's right but yeah even though that
was not a sponsorship so it's always fine no just i was just
gonna say even something is you know a simple provision of an RGB logo
surprises me a bit but i think it looks pretty sharp yeah yeah like even their
prime power supplies there's an RGB on it um but yeah apparently it does drop
your efficiency by one percent overall that's
really not a lot um
my main thing is in in what it looks like this case right here in my case at
home cable management in the back of tempered glass cases especially when there's not
a big gap is a nightmare yeah and this looks really good yeah and
that's the trend now isn't it because you're seeing more and more cases that
even like like reasonable price points where it's tempered glass all the way
around and i think there was just an assumption that people thought this
would be cool and that has been true to a degree but there's also plenty of you
out there that just want to hide all the messy cable riding behind the
motherboard tray so it looks like it can power some fans
are those you see this are those fans are those SATA
i'm pretty sure those are fans i think you're right yeah those those look like fan cables yeah
everything is seems like it's seemingly intelligently
placed too like this looks like a SATA bridge coming right off of there with a really
short run directly just because you have some right there so this is right up at
the top and it's your CPU power 24 pins right off on that side like it looks
like they've paid attention it does as long as you're not running some like weird exotic setup where you have like
SATA headers like all the way up towards the top it looks like it's probably fine for most systems even then it might work
i just i don't have very good pictures i don't know
and this okay to be fair this little blue cable
i just realized almost certainly doesn't come with it these are probably
aftermarkets mm-hmm um maybe they sell them as like
a kit that like goes with it we'll have to see i don't know a ton about it right
it could just be cable mod cables i don't know but but i actually think that's really cool that's that's the
first this happens every show i don't know why google docs decides to sign me
out part way through every single time
that's so annoying that's happened to me before when i've tried to upload tech wiki videos thanks google but um
but it's the first time in a long time that i've looked at a piece of computer
hardware and been like i am going to buy
that basically now and put it in my system
right away the one percent efficiency drop is really funny to me not because
well i do think it's good that they're being transparent about it but i can see
someone out there with like an 80 plus power supply like the lowest year of 80
plus and then he hooked this thing up to and they're like oh well
they're there to go with my superior efficiency to to that to that you know
um raid max power supply might be a neighbor
whatever so uh apparently it will kind of three
sizes which makes sense there's probably like general itx cases general m-a-t-x
different sizes yeah three squares yeah you know i and i know i said this before
but i'm still baffled as to why
m-a-t-x is not a more popular thing if
you're a gamer it's like the most logical form factor to get but that's a
different discussion so yeah i think it's i i like it and it's really not
popular but i yeah i agree and i have no idea why
but on that note of having no idea why i have no idea why
if you are making a new website and don't have a website yet for your like
small business or self or whatever you don't check out squarespace
uh they have 24 7 live chat and email support so if you have any problems i
have no idea why you wouldn't just contact them also it's only 12 bucks a
month and you get a free domain if you subscribe for a year they have
responsive design so it looks great on your various devices like your phone
your tablet your laptop your your watch your desktop whatever your tv doesn't
even matter they have commerce modules so you can have a free built-in online
store if you want to sell some stuff which is really cool no screw off don't
restart i pick a time which is not now
we're just having some slight technical difficulties 9 p.m i hate Windows 10 why are we using
Windows 10 on this computer anyways moving on uh cover pages if you want to
have like a one simple page set up which
is just good for like resumes or cover letters or like hey look at me this is
my about me page it's perfect for that also everyone can now publish content in
the apple news format directly from their squarespace blog module which
makes it available to millions of potential users because there's tons of
people on that you can start a trial with no credit card required and start building your website today when you do
decide to sign up check out this link right here squarespace
squarespace.comwan and offer and put in offer code wan to save 10 off your first
purchase you know i also have problems saying squarespace whenever i do it
whenever i do a squarespace thing for techwooky i say squarespace
square or space i almost said that i don't think why do i do this done that
before yeah maybe it was like your presence oh my god see now now i'm just
ruining the the rest of like our productions now and i i hope this isn't
so much yeah you want to ruin things like your accounting
and like your write-offs you could use
freshbooks you should use freshbooks to keep track of everything uh freshbooks
is the super simple invoicing tool that actually does a lot more than just uh
invoices it helps you keep track of uh your invoices it helps you keep track of
your expenses it helps you keep track of your hours all that kind of stuff it
keeps track of who owes you what which is great it also has a feature that
tells you when your clients look at an invoice for the first time and it has a
mobile app which has all the functionality of their desktop application which is really good because
a lot of new business uh owners just use phones to run through their stuff so
they can move around and do things you can take freshbooks wherever you go
which is great if you have any questions feel free to reach out to their support staff or you'll speak to a human no
phone tree no escalations no return calls just answers
also visit freshbooks.com when answer when and how do you hear about a section
when you sign up to get a free trial which is pretty cool
and speaking of pretty cool ltx you're pretty cool if you show up to ltx
because then i'll see you um and that would be pretty neat ltx ha
is a meetup and interactive tech event the interactive honestly the meetup part
is is hopefully cool you get to meet all of us here at Linus media group
which might sound weird because i'm not part of whatever don't worry about it um
but you get to meet everyone from Linux media group plus me
and the really cool part though and the reason in my opinion why you should go
is because it is a interactive tech event
it's not just a convention where you get to go see a couple booths and you maybe
take a picture with someone and you bail there are actual things
which is amazing like i like i'm not even kidding or trying to oversell this
at all i had so much fun last year it was very very enjoyable as well and like
it was so cool that rod and bob were there and showing people how to do hardline water cooling bends with actual
tubes you got to sit there with a heat gun and make a tube bend with hard line
water tubing which takes some of the fear out of it this year we're going to be leading to deleting your cpus
that is sick where else can you just try to learn that from people that really
know what they're talking about i don't know ltx is a really cool event if you
want to check it out you absolutely should it is held on july 14th at the
richmond olympic oval in richmond bc i know it's in canada i'm sorry try to get
here if you can the good news is you don't have to know how to skate that's
true unlike in 2010 when they had the olympics there and they had the speed
skating yeah that the ice is going on so you can you can just walk in you don't
have to skate in completely fine completely safe uh
current booths include a blind cable management competition brought to you by
cablemod a d-litting workshop so you can bring your cpus and we'll show you how
to delid it a cable toss or sorry case
toss 2.0 which is cool that was a good idea that it got updated uh multi-headed
vr so you can go up against each other in vr which is cool a lan
like that's cool we're gonna have like an actual lantern yeah yeah a 12k ultra
wide gaming setup what that's like 4k but times three
times three um and more there will be more on top of
that there's going to be food there's going to be music there's going to be
music probably okay where's Colton
i wonder like is it live music are we just going to play music over speakers
um please direct all inquiries uh twitter Colton underscore potter that
ask him everything there'll be cool systems to look at for sure more room
more games more swag than last year the fact that we have more swag is insane
because every single person left with at least one thing last year there's
special guests there's exclusive live unboxings just like last night this will
probably drop something probably yeah um and more which includes the Linus
dropping something come hang out tickets start at 35 canadian that's really not
that much money it really is worth almost nothing 35 canadian if you're
american or from the eu you probably have that much in like whatever your
currency is just in your couch cushions right now so
and you can check it says them out but what that's weird it's you can check the
link out in the link below uh or on screen if you're watching on twitch over
there ltxexpo.com it's it's super hard to get
to um and then that brings us to the flight
plan uh which oh i don't know if i have we
had a very very very illuminating episode of tech
quickie out on Floatplane today oh very illuminating what one is it should i
tell them or are we are we already really trying to plug this one yeah
oh that's pretty interesting isn't it though
see if this guy says it's interesting he's been doing this for longer than i have so that's actually i
yeah i don't know yeah and i want to know so we're gonna we're gonna show my
screen so it doesn't seem insane but there's a tech cookie episode on the
fastest possible internet how fast
can you actually go yeah how fast can you download gotta go fast questionable
videos yeah pretty much that's a question uh
there's there's uh AMD's 32 core fu to
Intel wow that's a little like for a second i thought you're going to read out a model number that started with fu
uh portable professional workstation with three displays that thing is
actually insane and a pumpless liquid cooler from der bauer which that's
another video both these videos at the top i'm super interested in checking out
anytime der bauer does anything it's amazing they sound very like german
and intense you know well yeah it is german engineering uh also there is bit
whit ultra on here and tech deals i'm not going to show you their guys's their
stuff because i don't know if i'm like really necessarily even allowed to but
if you're a fan of tech deals or if you're a fan of kyle at bit wit
check out their channels as well their stuff comes on here a week early
everyone's using the same model right now full plane does not make people use
this exact model but everyone has done the exact same thing which is fine but
it's three bucks per channel so far every single person has gone with three
dollars and you get their content a week early the comment section is awesome
because there's way less cancer than on youtube uh way less it's like always
positive discussion which is super cool and we have uh in terms of features that
are coming soon one of the really cool ones that people have been asking for a while is playback speed
there's some guys that apparently watch it like two times or one and a half times on youtube they just gotta get
stuff done i have i'm guilty of watching things at 1.5x on youtube sometimes that
is that that's actually a good feature fully operational uh relatively soon
the comment section thing on Floatplane you can actually have a comment score or
the negative so if someone just posts like
if someone just posts the hottest of takes they'll get like a minus 50. so
i think it was on this video but i don't see it but someone said
first and they're just like no that was 20 that was on mine oh that was that was
on that was on today's tech wiki i was so funny
yeah first minus negative 29. just
slammed so uh yeah you you can do that
it's possible um for those of you who watched um
already thanks very much shout out to portugal you'll know what i'm talking about if you watched if not you'll see
next week shout out to portugal i mentioned portugal very randomly in my
video i'm definitely gonna watch that yeah so thank you to all of our fans in
porto in lisbon in the azores wherever you may be
in portugal good luck in the world cup
heck yeah all right okay moving on to back to uh news topics thank you atlas
rafe for posting this on the forum AMD unveils seven
nanometer GPU at computex super cool let
me just get this stuff if you want to start i'm gonna get this stuff in twitch chat sure on the screen okay um also at
computex big surprise there right um AMD announced the first seven nanometer GPU
launching in the second half of 2018 it's a big deal because Intel has a big
deal Intel hasn't even gotten to 10 yet and AMD is already announcing hey we're
going to have a seven nanometer GPU oh well this is a GPU so to be fair
to until they make it it's a little different well um what does NVIDIA have right now
do they have are they on 10 yet uh
i admittedly haven't forgotten yeah i'm pretty i'm sure twitch has
screaming at me for that Intel gaff by the way because we're talking about gpus but that's okay
c they've been on 10 for a while oh have they okay
why am i blanking i shouldn't be yeah
i just love having dead air oh it's great
it's so great it's i mean it's um oh no no yeah 16. yeah pascal
so pascal is what 14 16 14 16 14 okay so
there you go so yes so we're they're basically having that AMD is having that
um with vega so AMD will have vega on seven nanometers inside of the new
Radeon instinct part uh they're claiming 25 or excuse me 35 percent more
performance over the previous gen 14 nanometer apart so they're so they're
having it so they're 14 nanometers i remember there was a split and i was
trying to think of what number is it split on but anyway okay 14 nanometer is
1030 1050 1050 1050 ti so the lower end
silicon is 14 and then for the higher end chips are we using 16. yeah oh but
yeah okay yeah i see yeah 16. so so there you
go so and these latest offerings are either 14 or 16 depending on what you
get AMD is going down to seven uh twice the power efficiency so which kind of
makes sense right because it's two times the density of their last gen which was
14. so um this now means andy is ahead of
the GPU game in this one area because even volta NVIDIA's neurogen
architecture is at 12 nanometers right now
so uh but do note that there actually
isn't an industry standard way to measure transistor sizes
so um your it i think it used to mean a
little bit more than it does now so do take that number with a small
grain of salt but it's still a pretty big deal also remember that it's i
believe it's square nanometers so seven is like
considerably smaller than ten right yeah yeah it's just like how four square
inches is a lot smaller than yeah so yeah okay just a thing to remember there
you go uh someone in the twitch chat reminded
me of that so thank you to whoever that was so prepare for
high wattage power supplies being even dumber unless you have a water chiller
from an aquarium computer so yes yes of course now okay wow what is that
cacophony back there loud noises
uh so this is another really really cool piece of news in my opinion this is
posted by shreyas1 on the forum Gigabyte making
fake RAM it's fake
except it's super cool and and you want it to be fake so i'll explain that in a
moment uh do you know about this i know about it now so apparently
they're selling their um aorus does that pronounce
RGB led memory um which is it's not surprising that sort that's sort of
their like gamer line of stuff now so it's going to have all the RGB so two of
the sticks are your run-of-the-mill eight gig
uh ddr4 memory modules yeah but
the other half of the bundle is two sticks of fake RAM they're made the same
aluminum housing and they have the leds that can sync up with your actual RAM
sticks but they have none of the memory bits so if you can afford to populate
every single slot on your motherboard with actual RAM but you don't want it to
look like there's big gaps in between your RGB you can get this instead you
can save some money and have it look like they're all populated until you can
afford more actual RAM now i don't personally care at all because i've
never cared about fully populating slots i don't think it looks bad but i'm 100
certain because i know them uh that there are people that do care about
fully populating all their slots yeah and RAM is
incredibly expensive right now so the
fact that they are able to bridge that gap a little bit you can fill all the
slots but you don't have to spend ludicrous amounts of money
well there's a certain effect you get you know because when you have those slots populated if the light bars on top
are t-h-i-c-c thick enough then you will have an effect that looks like a big
block or a big brick instead of like little strips of color so yeah so i
don't mind the strips of color thing but yeah i i just understand how people like
that aesthetic and it still gets you the the sticks of RAM that actually have
memory on them in this kit that we're talking about here is eight gig dimms
each so you're getting 16 total gigs of RAM which is pretty solid yeah so so the
modules the fake modules can still communicate with the other ones they
just don't have any actual RAM on them but um so um do note if you're interested in
this um right now you have to buy it as a whole kit but Gigabyte is considering
the possibility of just selling the fake sticks separately at some point so i
think they'll do that based on can we like not
and say we did um uh so
he has no idea no uh there we go they'll
probably end up selling them individually if these kits sell well
enough yeah it makes sense um it's it's probably like a manufacturing worthiness
situation i could see it happening because i'm sure there's plenty of
people who have bought RAM they didn't need just so they could populate all
their slots so i'm sure this happened again i know
people that have done that there we go i even know people that have bought the same looking kit just lower capacity for
the second set because they're like i don't even need more RAM yeah oh man
okay and then you get into this whole like catch 22 where even if you don't
need more like oh let me just buy like a one gig stick of this thing but it's
higher end RAM that has the RGB so you can't so yeah yeah um so this one moving
on this was posted by sc2 mitch on the forum just like every week dude thank
you very much for posting uh the the source of this article is
motherboard.vice.com as many of you have probably heard
github is being purchased by microsoft
now github and git lab are different things i'm just putting that out here
for people that may not know uh so get for the for the context of this story
git lab is not being purchased by microsoft github is being purchased by
microsoft uh this 13 000 projects ditched github for gitlab monday morning
thing is a little out of date the current number that we have is i believe
150 000 of them have ditched github for
get lab um now more projects have bailed
off of github in that time uh these are just the ones that have gone to get Labs
specifically um there are other solutions but that that's the majority
of the movers have done that now
to put to rest a little bit of the freak
out from the information that i've been able
to see online and some of the stuff that's in this exact article it seems
like most people are bailing because they are making like xbox emulators well
here's more like things that microsoft spec
that are going against microsoft specifically well there's okay obviously
something like an emulator you can see the problems there with like ip and
copyright infringement but but okay so just
uh one example i can think of that has some pretty recent relevance um if you
go on youtube shameless plug for techwiki we did a recent tech quick
episode on dns link leaks and how they can undermine your privacy and how they
can expose your browsing history even if you're using a vpn so let's say you're
using a vpn that has um a dns leak
protection feature on it yeah um so there is a
feature in Windows 8 and in Windows 10. um it has a really long acronym i can't
exactly remember what it is right um s-m-h-n-r i think is what it's called
but it is a feature and there's a reason i'm doing the quotation fingers that can
apparently even override dns leak protection and compromise your privacy
yeah um so there was someone on github that wrote a patch for openvpn
uh where you could just download it and it would like take care of that for you
would microsoft consider something like that undermining their own software if
they don't want people doing that you know because i mean copyright infringement's one thing that's super
obvious but what if it's like there's an actual problem
with a microsoft product like Windows
that someone is in good faith trying to fix for people
and microsoft just says no and people wouldn't know where to
look because so many people just kind of automatically go to github i think the
stuff is going to be on there so yeah it's going to be interesting and also i
forgot to post the youtube announcement so rip um and there's like not even that
much time left in the show but i just published it so people will be able to see watch the last seven minutes or
however long however long we have i don't know so uh anyways it's it's
it's yeah people are even thinking projects that
could easily be used to harm others like
deep fakes might be a problem and a lot of those types of projects have bailed
already okay which sucks because deep fakes can also be
used to not hurt people yeah just like a power drill yeah
pretty much so like we'll have to see how microsoft deals with this
um trying to connect you are offline oh
great uh but but yeah i just
i don't think it's going to be as nuclear as people think i suspect
microsoft isn't going to do a ton different with it than was already being
done with github hopefully everything doesn't become
weird colored squares because i really have oh good lord you really have not
enjoyed ui for a long time it kind of depends i mean i think there were fears about that
with something like uwp for example uh but at the same time you know the
desktop experience on Windows 10 is still like largely
open in whatever sense you want garbage
garbage i hate the desktop experience on Windows 10. sorry oh oh it's a personal
preference no i'm not talking about ui ui is different than whether the
platform is open or closed okay yeah yeah yeah yeah ui is a totally different
story like you can hate the ui all you want to but um that is a preference
thing i know some people are gonna screech i just i don't person do you
want to do um this thing here
or this thing is better either one sure i
don't know a ton of but it is cool i don't know a ton about it but let's
let's dive into it see what we can get so thank you
club 3d qub 3d
cute oh i think it's huge of course it's just a very tortured
spelling of cube i failed that one it is cubed for
suresies all right steak forbes is the
source article here and there's been so once it loads my internet is uh not the
happiest at the moment uh but there's been some leaks of the pixel 3. now one
interesting thing here is that there's going to be three
phones there's going to be the standard normal pixel there's going to be the pixel xl
those are already expected now there's going to be a
mid-range phone and they don't mean size they don't mean between the normal size
pixels they're talking like power yeah they mean power and price and stuff like
that what is going on i don't care about your quote of the day load the web page
please it's hard to fly without ruffling a few feathers i'm trying to ruffle your
feathers forbes let me fly please hello
okay oh my goodness awesome all right
well the cool part is that there's three phones there's the affordable pixel 3 uh
which is the interesting one in this lineup not not because the other ones
aren't interesting but because it's new um so the affordable pixel 3 which is
what we're going to call instead of mid-range just so we don't get confused by the sizing things it is likely going
to be a game changer for mid-range smartphone photography and that kind of
makes sense because a lot of the awesomeness of the pixel camera is in
the software then they can put that software on the
cheap phone which is really cool the 3xl is going to
have a notch however you feel about this yeah that's happening
so i'm going to i'm all
we'll have to see but i'm almost certainly going to be getting a pixel 3. okay um i currently still have my pixel
1 xl and i like this phone a lot but it's
starting to show the signs of being tired the battery's starting to kind of yeah
and there's like it started yeah you can tell i can't i can't anymore
it's it's still a very good phone if i wasn't a ridiculous power user of my
phone i wouldn't care that much but i am a absolute ridiculous power user oh
we have a power user oh yeah boy um i'm always on this thing and i do a
lot of stuff on it so i'm stoked and i will probably get the xl okay because i
have large hands i can hide my whole phone um
so oh like a power user with his large hands yeah dude so the the small phones
are just a little too small yeah no not not quite this this is a 6p
so yeah they're pretty simple yeah okay um
so i want the xl that means i have to do with the notch traditionally i haven't
really liked notches but it might work
if the notch is small enough which i can't see because forbes won't load
uh i saw some i saw some allegedly leaked images of the thing it does look
a fair bit smaller than the iphone 10
the notch does which makes sense right because on Android how it does
notifications it fills them in from the sides right but on
iphone that doesn't happen the all your notifications are just in that little
tray so so if it is just a fairly small one
that's cool i'm down it also has front-facing speakers which
i can't show you because it won't load by the way i don't think this is
forbes's fault just in case anyone in the audience is like what the heck i was
making jokes about not being able to fly because of the forbes thing whatever i
think our internet's being super weird uh
because i had this problem earlier but yeah okay so i i don't know that's super
cool i can't show you what the small one looks like i can't show you what the
mid-range one looks like uh it apparently the the the mid-range
phone is me based on qualcomm's new snapdragon 710 chipset which promises
performance close to 2017's flagship snapdragon 835
um
yeah i i think that would be cool because one big issue that people had
with pixel phones when they started being called pixel was that they were a lot more expensive than people wanted so
being able to give a more affordable option is cool definitely
maybe it'll stick maybe it'll be it'll go the way the iphone 5c who knows yeah
yeah australian gamers are being blamed for
slow internet
wow okay apparently this was slightly taken out of context uh this is from
abc.net.au uh maybe this will load
maybe not i'm gonna post this in twitch chat and if you are watching on
youtube there are either um timestamps posted in the description
of this video or i have noticed many wonderful people also post their own
custom timestamps below the video in the comments
wow this looks like it's not properly loading but it's sort of working so
let's show that screen why not i really like how the image they used for this
story is a screen cap from big bang like what
they don't what the heck that is them what are they doing is this like a retro
edition i don't watch this show
i don't know it's always been kind of weird to me but
anyways moving on uh believe it or not some of the biggest
online games use very little data when you're playing compared to streaming hd
video or even high fidelity audio so people are slamming back at whoever the
heck said this i don't care it doesn't matter uh because he's like gamers
but apparently the within the context that he was saying it
uh so someone named moro i don't know said it's gamers
predominantly on fixed wireless apparently what he meant is it's that
he's type casting gamers not saying that
games are right because later on he said that the people who game are also
powerful they they tend to like consume more data just across the board whether
it's video or whether it's they're watching twitch streams they're watching youtube they're they're streaming audio
while they play their game they're these are power users of the internet because
people asked uh he he originally said
extreme users and then he was asked to clarify on that so he said it's gamers
predominantly on fixed wireless but i don't think he meant it is video games
that are the problem i think he was saying like matt's gamers which i also
think is not necessarily true because out of all the people that i know that
watch ludicrous amounts of streaming video it's not necessarily gamers no i
mean you have you have people that think oh like video games are stupid but
they'll sit there and they'll binge netflix like eight hours at a time and that takes more bandwidth so yeah it's
not that's not the best look for him at least to people coming home
cracking a bottle of wine yeah and chugging it while binging multiple
seasons at a time of your favorite show of yeah whatever people who don't game watch so
i don't i'm not very up on this hip alcoholic terminology so sorry if i said
that wrong but yes like wine yeah yeah they didn't call it wine anymore i don't
know man no i said crack in a bottle of wine and then i realized you don't do that you you uncork it you do the thing
and then you crack a bottle of beer i'm a hip man
i'm i'm in with the the boys now it's time for you to do the
macarena i'm hip i'm with it
but yeah i i don't know i i think it's just something taken out of context i
don't think it's actually what people are freaking out about people just like screaming i think the guy is just saying
it's power users it's people that use the internet a lot it's it's this stuff
um if he actually thinks it's video games he now for sure knows that it's
not because everyone on the planet has told him you're wrong um so i think he
gets it now and we can probably hopefully move on but i thought it was
an interesting story anyways and something to bring up australia's internet is actually garbage um and one
thing that i i am very aggressively against is that apparently they've been
considering throttling back data consumption of extreme users during peak
periods that's ridiculous australia just fix your freaking internet
it's not that hard everyone else has seemed to figure this out
um might be a cost issue they are in an unfortunate place for undersea cables
figure it out i don't know what else to say
australia's internet has been garbage for a very long time working at
Floatplane it's super expensive to get bandwidth there
i'm trying to serve people on australia videos and it's hard it's got to be a
cost issue because of me i mean how many how many times we have people coming on
the forum saying oh like this GPU costs almost
twice as much in australia because reasons so i imagine it might be similar
here i just australia's internet is just garbage i know quite a few people from
australia and it's it's really really expensive and it's
really really bad um and it's a shame because i i don't think it needs to be i
understand that there is definitely cost implications but there are countries not
that far away um that have really much better really
bad they're the stadium nachos of the internet yeah okay yeah australia yeah
you have the stadium nachos of internet i like that analogy and you know what
i'll understand like people like that fake cheese sauce it tastes like plastic
a lot of people like that stuff it's disgusting i even bothered yeah so bad
no just like order a hot dog or something like just or do what i did and
smuggle in four spicy chickens from wendy's into a movie
that's a great idea and trade them for other things
bartering i hope no one's spicy i hope no one from cinderplex is watching this
don't let me back into a movie boy i get it done also organic carbon module
modules organic carbon molecules found on mars
nasa's mars rover curiosity has identified a variety of organic
molecules the carbon-based building blocks of life as we know it in 3.5
billion year-old rocks on mars this does not give us any evidence of life
necessarily but there's a possibility that the organics are a form of an
ancient life source of some kind we just don't know another finding that methane
concentrations in mars atmosphere cycle seasonally the discovery suggests that
the gas is seeping out from underground reservoirs it is possible
that some of the methane was produced by organisms as it is here on earth be very
careful that everything in his in this has possible
um written all over it it's not not necessarily guaranteed they did find
organic carbon molecules and methane concentrations in our mars
atmosphere do cycle around seasonally we got that the rest of it is all
hypotheticals and possible i wonder exactly what organics they found because
um obviously you know just because it has a carbon atom and it doesn't mean it
you know came from life you know but a lot of people don't know that which is
why we got a gotta really qualify yeah possible like methane is an extremely
simple molecule like a forum without life around very easily so yeah
i was trying to look through the story to see if there were any more deets but it didn't say don't think too many um
but but yeah i think that's honestly about it the rest of the stuff in the
dock is not crazy interesting there's the amazon
thing we can go over that real quick but oh it doesn't have anything to do with tech so i don't really know why i kind
of it does i think it does the fact that they said that
well it's that that is amazon and i yeah it's a store like it's it's an i
i don't know why we always end up talking about amazon the the fact that it was online made it a federal crime
okay but online shopping yeah is old as
heck and amazon is just like taking over the whole planet
that's like they're like political level instead of like basically tech news but
whatever we'll talk about it amazon return policy abusers were sentenced to
nearly six years in prison basically they bought a whack ton of gopros and
other stuff so for two years the finance
not sure what that means i'm assuming that's their name yeah they're a they're
a married couple yeah okay they ordered over 2 700 electronic items from amazon
including gopro digital cameras xboxes smart watches tablets laptops and then
they reported them as damaged and that somehow didn't get flagged
automatically they used a lot of like shell accounts and stuff so they did it
from like a bunch of different accounts to try to avoid detection good job vpns
i'm assuming uh once amazon replaced the products they would sell them to a third
person denial glumak i probably is that your
typo i don't know it does assuming it doesn't even matter
daniel glumak but currently it's d-a-n-i-j-e-l
which is a pretty cool name um
that's if that is i'm sure it's just daniel but if that is his name that name
is sick sometimes steal that as a screening i should get a dog and name it
don't uh in all aaron and leah
finan are said to have made approximately 750 thousand dollars
running the scam while blue mac made approximately 500 000
so um the the couple they got nearly six
years each uh the accomplice got uh two years 24 months um
so i thought this was interesting because just from from a legal
perspective legal corner with john real quick real quick here they um
they were prosecuted federally okay because it was done across state lines
and the feds are pretty serious about like winning cases against people like
if like like i think the feds have like an over 90 conviction rate when they
bring charges against people and if you go to federal prison i think the rule is
you have to serve 85 percent of your sentence before you're eligible for parole so they're not getting out for a
little while okay yeah so apparently this wasn't the only thing that happened
i again i don't know why amazon means that we're talking about it but the
amazon fraud wasn't the only problem uh they also bounced checks they rented
cars and failed to pay for them they sold other stolen high-end goods yeah
and they withheld rent all of which are actions that were taken into account
during the sentencing none of which mean that it makes sense being on the
lan show on that note i just realized i'm responsible for having this on here
i'm sorry i just don't i just i just don't now i feel bad anyways thanks for
watching we'll see you next time
i think it's time for a morale meeting next week like we need to have a company-wide
dialogue on how we like treat the contributions of our fellow employees no
i think it's high time for this i'm sorry
i just we always talk about amazon stuff and sometimes they do tech related
things but not always thank you very much squarespace alexa
thank you for see like that makes sense thank you very much ltx so us for
sponsoring the show and thank you very much freshbooks response freshbox
i just okay so my i just it's not always tech stuff
when they make the stores where you can just walk in and walk out and you just get your stuff like that's cool that's
technical yeah i did a tech week on amazon go it was good yeah i thought it was good
they do have a lot of tech news but it's not just automatically
i don't know anyways i'm sorry john bye everyone
i'll see you next time
