all right ladies and gentlemen welcome to the WAN Show the show on the internet
that's why we called it WAN Show I started trying to come up with a a
different name for it I was like the offline show then I was like nope nope
technically it's online it's online it says it's my line is on your line is on
slow wi you could touch our lines together if you want we could well well
the okay I've heard I've heard a conspiracy theory from the same guy who
did the Jar Jar Binks is a Sith Master conspiracy theory that actually we
called it w show because we chickened out on calling it The Weekly analysis
news and gaming show the same guy no I
made that up en I was really excited because that guy's like famous in my
yeah no he's he's about as Internet famous as like anyone who works here I
think yeah like I don't know anyone who hasn't
read that redit I thought that would have been super cool I thought you talked to him I was like whoa that's
that's pretty cool no I'm not that cool unfortunately
sorry illusion shattered oh I'm not wearing my
Christmas W sweater oh no oh no maybe I'll change
during the intro but we got a lot of great oh excellent excellent when are
you seeing it uh 28th oh get wrecked
yeah I know it sucks get wrecked I know I'm going with Brandon though this is
what my dancing boobies look like because I'm going to see it on the 19th
calm your tits okay calm whoa
uh so we got a great show for you guys today Apple released the iPhone battery
case I'm not sure if they were thinking battery like thing that holds a charge
or battery like an assault on your senses um Trump wants to close up that
their internet to fight terrorism uh wow I went to go talk to
Twitch chat really quick without realizing that it was my turn Indiegogo
there's a campaign on Indiegogo right now for a computer that fits in your
pocket because like that would be pretty ground ground breaking actually I almost
exclusively wear lonus Tech tips shirts now I don't have I'm getting more though
I'm getting like four more or something yeah it's like it's gotten to the point
where it's kind of ridiculous I'm either wearing like my name on my chest or like
something that I did or like or your
name on your back or like something that like Ed or like burkel designed with my
name on my back also troll Insurance
troll insurance I don't even I'm not even going to say anything else there's
other information that we said in the pre-show thing I'm not even going to bother but we're get we're going to get
to that later on in the show for now we're going to roll that intro I hope
this works oh crap oh wrecked oh I have
all the wrong oh I have all the wrong sponsors no maybe I can do this go fast
no I'll pull this off hold go fast like dbes like
dbes hold on you can shoot something while it's walking relatively not that
fast okay just calm down but what about tribes where it's like going really fast
hold on I'm working I'm working on this okay
Linda uh The Edge I I got to find the
edge I got to find yes yeah Linda ah
fresh books Boop yeah baby and I fix it
Boop yeah Round of Applause for lonus and his
team especially lonus who was the one responsible for pulling that out of the
fire and also it was his fault that it was broken in the first place you put it
in fire then you took it back out that's right play like Hokey pokei but with
literally a fire does that count you put your right hand in you take your right
hand out you scream oh my God my
hand and then you start up a twitch thing and you're not signed in or hey
there's a there's a riot game stream going on that means my stream's going to
get no viewers sick I think our stream's
still doing wow we have only 2600 viewers oh you know what that thing's
always delayed the YouTube thing didn't go up oh dude that's interesting so this
is all the hardcores only this is like hardcores only time or just whoever
twitch decided to send an email too yeah
that too that's a whole other issue that's that's uh there's nothing I can
really do about that what is this thing doing why why are you broken YouTube 44%
processed on like a one minute video like are you for oh oh oh there 46%
46% uh someone must have thrown a USB drive at the server dude they're using
the quantum computer the quantum computer no we'll talk about that later
though the quantum computer is uh is is
definitely Quantum there's like or no right they were using the quantum
computer now they're comparing it to that single core something yeah well
that that well we'll talk about that okay so actually well no let's talk
let's talk about things let's get into our first topic of the day today should we just start with the quantum computer
no let's do Donald Trump wanting to close up the internet closing up the
internet cuz like you can just close CL
the doors you can call up Bill Gates yeah and Bill Gates can just build a
digital wall yeah so the original article here is from RS Technica and to
be clear if you actually watch and like put
some context around this if you actually watch some of the
speech he's obviously doesn't have a
clear enough understanding of how the internet works to have spoken correctly
but some of his sentiments were not
entirely ridiculous either not everything he said was completely stupid
but you're talking to internet people about internet terminology yes some of
it was really stupid um I'm just going to try and I'm going to go back to my uh
to my show notes for a second here because I think I put down something that uh uh blah blah blah I
mean acknowledging that people are
people are vulnerable to being recruited whether it's for Isis or or whether it's
um I speak from some personal experience without giving too much detail here not
not myself but someone that was very close to me um you know whether it's
something like a a proen a suicide Society or something like that people
can be very Su susceptible to being
drawn into someone who will make them feel like they fit in um and I feel like
the internet has made some of these very very extreme sex a little bit more
accessible sects not sex
it's made that more accessible too that's true but I'm not complaining
about that Craigslist so so some of what
he's saying is is it comes from a good place I think but obviously calling at
Bill Gates or doesn't get how it works other internet leaders to close up the
internet in some way and then he goes on to say you know Free Speech what about
Free Speech we got to you deal with this terrorist threat that's not necessarily
the right approach either but I think the bottom line is this I hope in my
deepest heart of hearts that Donald Trump wins the presidency because there
will never be a slow news wake news wake news week for the entire four years that
he's in so you would you just want it because it would be hilarious yes not
enough to vote for him and to anyone who's considering voting for Trump just
because you think it's hilarious and you just want to troll the entirety of your
country I would urge you to please reconsider
because there's there's so many trolls out there that he might actually win I
don't think we usually like give political voting opinions we don't but
don't vote for someone to troll I think is pretty safe political advice if you
genuinely believe in Donald Trump and his principles I'm not going to tell you not to vote for him that is your
prerogative that would be undemocratic but if you are voting for Donald Trump
because you're like don't do that because you just want
no slow news we news week news week no
slow news weeks for four years it would be kind of like a news week you just
like it's just the wake of Donald Trump as he just crashes through everything
and the the the entire the entire like internet internet like news reporters
just like crawl into the office oh my God he did more things they would they
would die of like laughter like their
abdominal muscles would actually implode upon themselves from yeah
so my my little joke that I wanted to throw in here is that people should just
start feeding him more just like not true stuff like start telling about the
series of tubes thing and then just be like you know if you just make the tubes
a little bit smaller then the bad messages will be delayed too much
because they're coming from too far away and they won't make it in did you see
the thing he posted about how it was like mostly blacks killing whites or
something like that like some some completely false like no one can figure
out where it came from infographic that was like supposedly
attributed to like the Seattle Police Department or something like that but
did not they're like uh no that didn't
come from here that's brutal yeah he he's he like retweet are you sure it was
it was a retweet yeah cuz like there's been a lot of stuff where he didn't
actually say it yes and he didn't say it but like you also have to be responsible
you can't be retweeting that stuff no I don't mean that the retweeter has value
I mean like there's there's I've seen a lot of jokes online where people will
share things from like satire websites and be like oh my God I can't believe he
said this and it's like that's cuz he didn't although to be fair it wouldn't
be that surprising at this point
yeah so um oh apparently they did figure
out where it came from all right well thank you for that either way it didn't
come from the Seattle Poli again we're not yeah political whatever yep speaking
of not being political whatever European commission officially presents plan to
address net like Geo blocking this I'm really excited about so the original
article here is from torrent freak oh I'm sorry Brandon I did not move that
computer okay sorry I was busy fixing
this computer actually okay before we get into the eu's proposal which is we
just turn the webcam thing on that we used to have and just show Brandon
trying to figure out how to walk with this thing I know right without destroying everything oh it's going to
be great good job Brandon he has I was telling him this the to the team Brandon
never trips anymore remember the way remember he used to trip who I almost
just said know and then I was like wait that changed at some point he doesn't
though I know he's like he's got cat-like agility now we put too many
wires down we were going to his nickname learned the foot flick his nickname was
going to be cables he just did the foot flick on that thing right there I know I
know he's like he's like a navigation master and this place is easier than the
old place so he's like he's he's he's like effortlessly moving around here
other than that he has to carry heavy things and now heavy things with like
stuff coming out of them okay so the story I was going to tell
is that I actually spent okay the show was still late I know but I actually
spent the hour and a half so since 3:00 today okay the show starts at 4:30 I was
like okay I am getting this computer
working once and for all it is happening
so I was like doing something with capture cards and we've known for some
time like ever since I built the first capture PC I ever built which was a
shuttle with a couple intensity Pros in it
we realized that mainstream platforms
your your uh your Z87 z97 whatever with
all their PCI Express Lane slit splitting and switching and and whatnot
are just don't cooperate well with professional grade Hardware sometimes
yeah where it's just it's low volume hardware and not always designed to work
properly in consumer devices and so I've always had trouble and even sometimes
it's as simple as okay maybe I'll try the four PCI E Lanes that are coming off
of the DMI interface versus the split ones that are coming off the CPU or
whatever the case may be um so today I
was like I ran into some weird issue and it was a minor issue but I was just like
no no that's enough so I went and got an x79 motherboard so we are you running a
3960x six Core Extreme Edition we are running an x79 workstation board like P9
x79 WS whatever from ASUS 32 gigs of the
most stable RAM that we've had like on all of our Benchmark systems that 1866
uh rip Jaws skill stuff like we've never
had any issues with and then I put in
four capture devices great a decklink 4K extreme a an
Elgato uh Pro 60 hd60 uh a black magic intensity Pro and
an a media live gamer portable attached via USB I was like
okay we're going to get this stable there's got to be some combination of
two yes just got to figure out so
they're all in there and I finally got it I'm pretty sure it's working I got
the audio synced needed only a slight delay so I'm pretty sure that we're in
pretty good shape so now that I've said that I'm sure that I've jinxed it
forever now but it can't be any worse
than it was before Oh no now I'm going to make it worse than okay there's no
wood around here this isn't really wood yeah this isn't wood this is like the
closest thing to Wood that's in my lap is in my lap where are you going thank
you thank you for that Luke did it for
you so the EU has issued a proposal that
would ban Netflix style geol blocking and restrictions which sounds like
fantastic news on first glance do you want to run through what this is exactly
basically you know how the EU is a lot uh people might take offense to this I
don't know it's a grouping of a bunch of smaller countries yeah I come from
Canada we're really big every country is a small country to Canada yeah I'm not
trying to say anything not in terms of population they have more people than us
oh yeah we don't have that we just I mean like land mass there's a great song
by The Arrogant Worms we've got rocks and trees and trees and rocks and rocks
and trees and trees and rocks and rocks and trees and trees and rocks and rocks
and trees and trees and rocks and
water come on
everybody it's a Canadian song anyways basically it's enabling you if if you
have a Netflix subscription to be able to watch it anywhere within the EU which
is pretty sweet yes but there are some
caveats which I don't understand actually but okay I can explain this so
basically the way that they want it to work is they want it to be illegal if
I'm a British citizen for example and I subscribe to British Netflix they want
it to be illegal for when I travel to France for my subscription to stop
working yeah awesome love it the problem
is that with these new regulations it would actually become more difficult for
people who use a VPN to access a broader
library of films and videos from another EU country that would no longer be
possible under the new rules how I don't
know that's what I don't I don't know so that I don't know but the new rules
would make it so that accessing the
library that should be available in your home country is fine but accessing other
libraries would not be fine the thing that worries me about this is are you
now going to have to sign up with like citizen IDs or something I don't know
see that's that's I'm not sure how they're going to handle it that's weird
I'm not sure how they're going to manage it like I know that over the years it's become more difficult for example to use
a credit card that isn't issued by a bank in the country that but that's
still not that hard they're saying impossible you could still find a way it
would still be what I'm hoping for is that under the new rules not not
possible like not allowed but I'm hoping that it would still be uh it would still
be still be somewhat F not possible like not allowed is fine because I'm pretty
sure that's already a thing so whatever go ahead people are going to do it
anyways good job I don't care there you
go um and then the other one I just got a hilarious private message from uh John
for Lakers John ringer TechnoBuffalo uh there was a particular partner that we
worked with once that I kind of off the record I was like dude don't work with
them uh I'm not going to indicate
anything but yes yes okay um so I just got a message from he's like dude I
should have listened to you have a great w
show I like our new one we have a replacement one it's good all right um
so where yeah okay so the last one is people who are in countries uh where
Netflix and services aren't available still won't have access and like that's
not so that was already a thing yeah
it's just a not better thing basically this is like a really small really tiny
step towards forming the way that geob
blocking and Regional restrictions are handled and honestly it feels kind of
like one step forward one step back um
just because if it does legitimately make these other forms of access more
difficult then we're not really helping anything um and it forces the content
owners to go and rewrite a bunch of their licensing deals for what is in my
mind not really that helpful I'd like to see I'd like to see that stuff Rewritten
more Brad it it it at least acknowledges that there's a problem yeah that's what
I'll say yeah we're acknowledging a problem which is better than
nothing so oh I've got people suggesting
that it's Hotspot Shield no it's not Hotspot Shield um oh good I was just
there's okay so this is funny there was a w show at one point where we
accidentally still had like an ancient Hotspot Shield logo baked into our intro
and showed it uh but we hadn't been working with Hotspot Shield for over a
year and it happened that tunnel bear was a brand new
St and they were just like Yoo what was
that we're like oh that was like a really old Legacy thing don't worry
about it there was also the time with Squarespace we gave them a
freebie oh well yeah Squarespace I it's
a miracle Squarespace still advertises with us why because we screwed up
everything with them so many times whatever oh I got people asking
build it beautiful I got people asking how my lip feels they saw the GoPro
dodgeball incident it's been a while so people are geniuses everyone has great
ideas and they love sharing them with us they're like you know you're supposed to
have the GoPro facing up on those mounts right oh my God we know we are putting
the GoPros in front of our eyes in the most annoying position possible in the
most annoying possible way not because we think that that's a stroke of Genius
and it helps us see better or anything but because it gives a more natural feel
like point of view perspective on what it is that we're doing we're doing it it
destroys your depth perception so we tried to put it on the people who were
showing some amount of accuracy already so that it would like bring them down a
little bit and make things a little bit more equal like it not was bad and
deliver better footage this is what we do this is what we do for you okay is
and yes Dennis still has a job no Dennis has not been deported no that was a joke
Dennis is a valued member of our team we are not we are not deporting him the
problem is that POV sucks well if POV sucks then eight inches above POV is
definitely not better so why is that
search term used so much I'm going leave you with
that bro
so let's go ahead and move into our next topic here this is cool so I mean if it
wasn't cool we probably wouldn't be talking about it on the ex sometimes we
talk about stuff that's totally not cool for the sake of talking about stuff
that's stupid um so Google's d-wave 2x
quantum computer a 100 times faster than
regular computer now now okay excuse me
100 million times faster sorry sorry I misread that which the scale makes the
point that we're going to make here not really matter but it's still a valid
point yeah okay so basically this was acquired by Google and NASA in 2013
they're keeping it in there like like supercomputing lab in Silicon Valley
somewhere underground something along those lines
um and basically in a nutshell it was
able to achieve 10,000 years of
computing in seconds the thing is
they're not actually really showing what they're comparing it to and sometimes
they're like yeah a you know classic computer a classic a classic single core
computer was what it was compared comped to well in one place they say classic
computer in another place they say I think like consumer and then somewhere
else they're finally like single core and I'm like o so it' be really nice to
know what it's being compared to um but it is a hundred million times faster yes
so at the same time it's like still very cool yeah um but with
that said we're still a long ways away from it being useful for any kind of
practical practical practical matters well okay uh broadly useful and we'll
we'll explain that a little bit more in a minute so basically for just as a refresher regular Computing uses zeros
and ones or bits Quantum Computing uses cubits and in the case of the d-wave 2x
you can have up to, 197 cubits so that's
that's that many more different states and then it's like Quantum nonsense with
like it can have this value and this value and all all this kind of very
complicated stuff that quite frankly I'm not enough of a scientist to
TR to talk about anything in this realm I try to give like a simplified version
and then people try to murder me so I'm just not even going to bother so let's
not bother uh but the point is that what it's really good for what what they what
they were able to find that the d-wave 2x was able to do really really well was
solving an optimization problem so an optimization problem could be something
like let's let's come up with something very very simple so if I want to make
the best possible oh I don't know super
can okay so you've got you've got a bunch of different variables you've got
the height you've got the circumference you've got the uh You've Got The Ridges
that you can put in the side you've got uh having a a curvature or no curvature
to the top and the bottom and so you could come up with a value that you want
like I want the strongest soup can that holds x amount of volume or or whatever
the case may be so so that would be an optimization problems you could have a
lot of different variables that the computer has to solve for many different
scenarios of all of them to get the best possible result that would be an
optimization problem in this case the problem that the d-wave 2x solved had
about a thousand variables and then each
one of those like I'm sure a lot of people in the audience know what a
variable is but each one of those will have crazy amounts of values so that's
an entry for a value or any value yeah like like it could be a variable is just
is is as a placeholder it's what x or y or whatever else so so you had a
thousand X's y Z's you're going run out letters of the alphabet don't worry too
much about that part though and it found the optimal answer for all of those
variables um the problem right now is
that there's only a handful of people in the world who are qualified to actually
input information input information into the hard to tell it to do things which
makes sense if you know things about computers that's kind of yeah yeah so
they're good they're going to have to work on making it a little bit easier to use
okay and then yeah and then and then
then it'll be more useful but Quantum Computing is still
very like look at who has it it's a it's
a long way away from you playing you know halflife three on one although
probably less far away than halflife 3
oh rip okay sorry sorry everyone sorry
to those who are still holding out hope rough speaking of that troll that you
just did oh my goodness so this
what I'll say in advance of this topic
is that I don't think there's a way for
us to cover this that won't upset the
particularly sensitive of our social
justice Warrior viewers so someone's going to be upset
by the end of this and that's a shame
and if the social justice Warriors aren't upset which they probably already are because we said their name I did
call them that then if they're not upset
then the people who aren't in that category will probably be upset because
we probably talked about it too lately Yeah so basically let's let's run let's
run run through what this is let's run through what this is in a nutshell yeah
we're damned if we do we're damned if we don't so chub which to be clear is not
the company that makes locks I wonder if they're doing this because someone
called them fat I wow was wondering if we were going to go
there or not thought about that before show I was like you know we aren't going
to go there if you troll the company that offers troll Insurance yeah what
happens I don't know like troll setion or like they have troll Insurance on
their own like I don't know can you do that I don't think you can do that cuz
you'd have to have some sounds like all over the place okay anyway so chub the
insurance company not the company that makes locks and security stuff Y is
offering this to their clients in the UK starting in 2016 they're defining it as
three or more acts by the same person or
group wondering how that's defined to harass threaten or intimidate a customer
so claims of up to $75,000 can be made for counseling
relocation due to online abuse or missed work and they offer certain things like
uh reputation management which can help restore your Public Image or uh hiring
of a forensic specialist who can try to
trace the origins of the trolling so the
policy uh so they they see it as a way
to help clients get back to where they were before the incidents
occurred
um wow now that I've now that I've kind of vomited all that into the microphone
I'm left sort of speechless there okay there are certain things in here I don't
know if I'd get insurance for it but there's certain things in here that I can actually totally defend I'm going to
Advocate this a little bit let do let's do it hit me hit me hit me bro come at
me bro loser that's one we're going to need
like a counter if it okay if I had Insurance on this and I was like
specific person and pointed out you you'd lose in like a day right but this
is online harassment I harass you in person hang outs and stuff that's that
is online is it online if you're in the same building
yes really yes so so it's still going out to a
server and then coming back so snapping like dick and hang out sing them to you that would
be hold on hold on on the internet comes back that's online if you're in the same
building but but if what if I'm in the
same room what if I'm in the same room if we were literally like and it was
both of us that would still be online okay okay anyway car car a willing
participant then that wouldn't be harassing carry on carry on okay so so
defend it defend anyways so if you are someone uh like say remember the Boston
bombing yes terrible not cool thing yep
we did it rdit if you're one of the people that
they targeted and you get death threats and stuff and you did nothing that sucks
and having a team of people backing you up and doing what is this one uh rep
reputation management team y that would
probably be helpful because that totally wasn't their fault and they got
massively trolled on and that probably sucks on like many different levels the
thing is while there's definitely cases
where online trolling goes way too far and his like super not okay like the
Boston bombing thing where they picked the wrong person and there's definitely
other examples of this I think the vast majority of the usage for this is going
to be tempted to be claimed on things
that are totally bull crap and one of my notes on here is that I'm hoping it's
only for Ultra aggressive cases like where I'm talking about with the Boston
boming thing totally wasn't their fault totally got slammed on really really
badly and totally wasn't their fault I think it's mostly going to be be like
kids on COD yelling at each other and then one of them getting sad and
someone's parents being like well I have this troll insurance thing let's just I
don't know they're all Cod players so that's a
group so I mean it's one of those things
where like and it comes back to like I was
making light of it before but the line between online harassment and in-person
harassment is very very gray um like
it's you know PE people who don't
believe in cyber bullying will often say well just unplug your internet
connection but it is very RAR I don't believe in a lot of what people Define
as cyber bullying no and that's true of me as well but but it does exist
something that people have to be aware of is that when the line is gray it can
be uh it can it can be something that can't be gotten rid of as easily as
unplugging an Ethernet cable like or just not playing that game cuz if if you
if you like aren't very good at legal Legends and people make fun of you for
it a lot maybe ignore chat or just if
that affects you that much just don't play league or play against bots or
something and another option would be to get better yeah like I don't count that
as like you just need to but there are
but there are many instances where the online cyber bullying can bleed over
into real life like it's you know someone sharing uh uh uh an you know
improperly obtained picture of you and then having to deal with the Fallout of
that that's a I didn't even think about that that's brutal so so the line the
line is very gray between what is what is online harassment and what is
inperson harassment because they can they can become one and the same and
it's not always as simple as just like oh well I just won't go online if I put
my head in the sand I mean it's funny because it's the same group of people saying well just ignore it as the same
group of people that would make fun of people for putting their head in the sand and ignoring a problem so like if
if if literally the forensic specialist That's tracing the origins of your
trolling is like oh you're bad at video
games then I don't know man figure it
out if it's random Anonymous people on the internet talking to you in a very
contained situation and once you stop playing that game it's over maybe find a
solution I don't know leave chat don't read chat do something if you're
actually being like improperly obtained picture yeah we
did it Reddit if it's like one of those types of situations like sure I think
this makes sense yeah but I mean they're they they're going to there's going to
be at least paying for troll Insurance because you think that's going to happen to you is
insane most insurance is set up like that where the odds are so slim that
you'd actually kind of like I mean you look at the the ma the way the math
works yeah is there have to be enough suckers who are paying for it and don't
need it to compensate for everyone who claims it and lots more that's the whole
idea that's insurance so I did get a uh
I did get like stop playing lead
oh I got I got a message I have to interrupt this program to bring you a
shout out for marks I don't know if he wants me to give his last name but I
promised him a shout out on the dual quad core old server gaming rig thing I
thought you did I thought I did too but it didn't make it into the Final Cut and
then I swear I watched it I asked for it to be added to the YouTube one and then
I never well I never watched the YouTube one so maybe it did get added maybe he's trolling me I swear I it said something
someone gave me this anyways whatever whatever it was Marx Who provided the
Zeon no not marks Work Warehouse no not
Carl Marx okay well anyway the point is he
provided the motherboard and the xeons and the RAM and the idea for doing that
video so I wanted to give a massive massive shout out to uh to to to Marks
here who is apparently watching the show so good job watching the show hi marks
you excellent person he also does some writing now for us maybe I watch Like a
pre-cut can this can this finish processing no the YouTube announcement
is not done processing yet I don't know what they're doing they've got hamsters
running the servers right now apparently so I'm gonna I'm going to try uploading
it again and see if oh that's from last
week I do not want that to go up to the oh why why do you hate me
internet we should do the thing after
this do the thing yeah you are the thing
to me do we have it I don't know I don't
even know what you're talking about maybe I don't know I'm sure you maybe I
do I'm fairly sure you don't know what you're talking about because I don't
know what you're talking about then that means that I don't know what I'm talking

iix it we have a new iix it offer code for you guys and now is definitely a
good time if uh oh I wonder if they would get it to you in
time okay well holiday season I'm not
sure you'll have to check with iFix it find out if they can get you an awesome
gift for the uh for the techie and you know what just grab an old one for now
okay there's one there many of those yeah we yeah we have lots of those we'll
we'll we'll settle for the old one today I well part of the problem is I took one
of the new ones home that's like did no I didn't take both of them I didn't even
know we had to yeah we have yeah I I snagged one like I knew you snagged one
so fast so fast so iix it has guides for
how to take apart your mobile devices put them back together um computers uh
desktops even laptops phones tablets all that kind of stuff and they have a full
lineup of tools that help you do it this is actually this is a really old one I
think um but everything from their Protek toolkit to their their more wait
no this is the this is the 52 driver kit sorry so the Protek tool kit which has
an ESD strap and like some pry tools and
actually their new one is even better it's got their suction cup in it and all
kinds of cool stuff all the way up to even like entire full like briefcase
size kits with a multimeter uh all the drivers the other set of drivers which
we have around here somewhere as well the problem is we can never keep track of where these are because we use them
so often and we have so many but they're great I love them why we have Taran half
the time I go into that room Taran has one on the desk next to him the new one
wonder if he does anyway the point
is um they've got all the stuff you need and you can save $10 on a purchase of
$50 or more by heading over to
ifixit.com Linus and entering the code when at
checkout that offer code changes fairly frequently so stay tuned make sure
you're always watching The W show to get the latest iix it offer
codes I guess that's that's pretty much it for so it was so good that someone
from work just took it no one better have like taken it home
also well you did for one of them well I took one of them I'm the boss I can and
I took part of one I didn't take like the whole did you check it out no we
don't enter tools in the system wow so I can just take tools home well you have
to let me know I let you know see
communication
okay but it wasn't here when we needed it that's true it wasn't here the new
one's really nice it is that's magnetic yeah it's got more stuff and it's yeah
it's it's really nice anyways all right so let's get into our next somewhat
touchy uh somewhat touchy topic here okay this is so stupid with how 2015 is
going everything's a touchy topic 2015 20 yeah oh oh balls okay I
just screwed up a thing well you know what balls touch H touchy are you are
you propositioning me I thought I already did that oh right but on on
air all right so this is this is worth
this is worth having yeah okay yeah okay
so the National Crime agency this is what UK or something right yeah um
released this TV ad spot which we can
have a quick look at basically it's the kind of the two over enthusiastic
parents I don't know if you guys have audio I'm just going to turn it off regardless right I turned off the wrong
thing um um so they're bragging about
how when he loses an online game he just takes down the server and oh those dos
things he does them all the time he's so smart they actually I thought they did a
really good job of this spot overall so they're bragging about what he's doing
etc etc etc and the punchline
is Bippity boity
uh so yeah I guess that's um what else
do what else do you want to know they like start at the beginning
and then yeah now we're in an interrogation room now to be clear there
was some Scare Tactics involved here of course it's like this kid could be yours
and it's got to do one of those cyber crime Rex lives kind of things because I
think those are those are mandatory by law in any kind of public service
announcement or uh or like like warning type thing I guess PSA would probably be
the correct term for this um
but the issue that I have with how people
are receiving this is is is okay well
first first let's first let's get into this so I'm going to start with our
source here so blogs are taking this
campaign and I think running completely the wrong direction with it yeah that's
a really obnoxious ad hey yeah so this Blog the next web yeah I know I know
super obnoxious site the writing isn't much better goes okay according to the
National Crime agency the UK's version of the FBI they have a new campaign
that's aimed at cutting cyber crime especially amongst teams teams teens
teens teens not teams cyber crime teams are by the so this is where it this is
where it goes all fullon sensationalist never go full sensationalist by the
nca's definition we might all be super hackers here's what to look for is your
child spending all of the time all of their time online are they interested in
coding do they have Independent Learning material on Computing do they have
irregular sleeping patterns do they get an income from their online activities
do you know why and how are they resistant when asked about what they do
online do they use the full data allowance of the home broadband have
they become more socially isolated hey Mom in fact oh yeah I know right me too
everything in fact all these warning signs would apply to my friends and
colleagues blah blah blah but I'm not a I'm not a cyber criminal as you can see
no parent should assume that any of these things are precursors to a life of infamy and really badass scenes of movie
hackery they're not saying bottom line hold on the bottom line according to
this blogger talk to your kids well this blogger never read the actual the actual
NCA page nice flowers Dennis because that's
exactly what they said here it is here's the actual
article that people should probably look at before crapping all over what I think
is actually a fairly wellp put together little piece here so what is cyber crime
they give examples of cyber crime gaining access to someone's computer network with without their permission
making supplying or obtaining malware carrying out dos distributed denial of
service attacks they don't even include the I mean I think probably the most
outstanding thing about this this article here and this campaign is that
they're not even going after piracy they're ignoring piracy they don't even
mention it they're not like they're not even including piracy under the same
umbrella as cyber crime something that I wish more people had noticed and would
have realized is actually a pretty important distinction because they're
really not the same thing okay someone chat said rip tinu who will save us now
that's actually kind of funny yeah into the system into the ACC that's going Ed
yeah um so then they go on to say okay well here's the consequences and they
don't even say you're going to go to jail forever you could get a visit and
warning from police or NC off officers you could get arrested their computers
could be seized and they could be prevented from being allowed to access the internet penalties are fine up to 10
years in prison for serious offenses
things to look out for are they resistant when asked what they do online
do they get an income from their online activities do you know why and how it's
funny how when I read this in a different voice it doesn't sound like such a crazy thing are they spending all
of their time online do they have irregular sleeping patterns have they become more socially isolated okay many
of these things are just normal teenage behaviors this is right out of the
freaking article basically the second line take it in isolation they don't
necessarily suggest that a young person is at risk risk of being involved they
are just possible indicators that your child is getting into the wrong
activities if you're MLG pro it's fine if a young person is showing several of
these signs try and have a conversation with them about their online activities
this will allow you to assess their computer knowledge proficiency so you can understand what they're doing
explain the consequences of cyber crime and help them make the right choice
there's nothing wrong with the way that this is written and then there's another
video If you scroll down a little bit this is great ways to use cyber skills
positively so here's a bunch of stuff and then this video is great former
hacker ex- haacker went to jail he was
like yep if I had realized if someone
well he he said if someone had presented opportunities to me I would have done it
so the whole idea here isn't actually about like oh my God your kid's a
criminal it's like maybe talk to them and show them like hey you're interested
in this stuff that's cool you can there's a whole bunch different job
paths you can go down and so you know I think a lot of the time people will go
like oh they're saying that if I have computer skills I'm a hacker H yeah
anyone with coding skills is a hacker well no but not everyone with
lockpicking skills is a burglar but with that said or you are a hacker but not in
the bad way yes and if my son or daughter is picking up a lot of
lockpicking skills spending a lot of time out late at night and has
inexplicable new possessions which is pretty much what that list was saying
that doesn't mean I'm I it doesn't mean that they're a burglar they could be
they could have a a lockpicking job on the side for a locksmith and know
someone that works a lot and can only hang out at night time or whatever but
that doesn't mean I shouldn't have that conversation hey what are you up to you
know that if you're doing something that's not a good thing to be up to that
that can be a problem these are the consequences this is your life you need to hon that's all the NCA is saying if
your parenting style happens to be one of those ones where you're like Ultra
involved with your kids interests there's a lot of really cool hacking
stuff you can do that's like not criminal even remotely and they outline
a lot of that stuff yeah like there's some really cool [ __ ] you can do making
things work the way you want them to work is a very cool thing and it's fun
so so there you go I just wanted to throw another another voice into the the
mix of people that are that are trash talking this because they apparently
didn't take the it's not even a long article it took me like a minute and a
half to read it and go this is perfectly fine they've actually tackled this in
probably the best way they possibly could because the reality of it is is a
lot of the people leaving comments on that video are being elitist to douches
about it quite frankly this campaign is designed for not you techsavvy
youngsters yeah I know that you guys are you know oh I know what a DOS is you
know blah blah blah if it's in this context you know whatever like
understand all this stuff but they were trying to present it in terms that like
my mom would understand or maybe someone slightly younger than my mom I'm not
exactly a teen someone in chat was like Luke they're called Network
professionals or app developers no they're not that's that's not the only
types of hacking at all that's not the well that's not the only types of ethical hacking at all there's stuff you
can do at home that affects literally zero other people that is hacking that
has nothing to do with networking it has nothing to do with app development and
it's fine and they even Define the cyber
crime what is a cyber crime really really well it's when you access someone
else's Network without permission you can access someone else's network with
permission and that can be hacking if they're if you're if you're saying okay
I'm going to try and keep you out you try and get in that's that that's
practice think of it that way I think there's still relative laws around that
but if you do it like in a contained environment and stuff they have
hackathons yeah like which are actually hacking in some cases and they're like
good it's helpful so yeah there you go
Tesla has like huge bounties on if you can hack something in the model S tell
them how you did it maybe work with them on how to solve the problem
great all right so let's get into the
funniest topic of the week probably
completely unintentionally funny although part of me really does Wonder
like are they just seeing how far they
can push things is that what apple is up
to at this point this has been making okay the okay
the white case is literally
hilarious they've been make it reminds me of a scene from Alien it's like I I
feel like I feel like a battery alien is going to like push itself out of the
back of the phone there was a point in time where like we can hate on Apple as
much as you want but there was a point in time that if you walked into an Apple Store you could pretty much assume that
everything especially directly from Apple was probably solid in terms of
like design manufacturing this is not
for like a bunch of reasons horr one of
them the the material that it is picks
up things and clings to it so there's there's a video Lou has onbox therapy
where he puts the white one in his jeans pocket and he shows like these are
they're not the loosest jeans ever but they're definitely not skinny jeans ever
either um drops the phone in his pocket pulls it back out and it's like covered
in L like what it's like I've given a
lot of crap to companies over the years that have released products that I like
what I like to say is obviously no one ever actually used it um like antec had
a case what was it the uh the dark force DF 85 or something like that I know what
you're referencing but I I I remember talking to I think you about it where I
was just like did anyone at antech build a computer in this Tower oh yeah yeah
yeah yeah okay yeah and I was pretty sure that they did not must not um this
really feels this really feels like one of those kinds of things where where
about you'll see him standing up he's standing up uh I don't think it's yeah he puts
the phone in first so it's a little bit after this where does he stand up dang
it Lou it's before that bit oh here we
go here we go okay so lineus screen share there we go there's our buddy Lou
so he puts a white fo in his pocket takes it back out and then look at this he doesn't even get that close in on it
yeah and like but it's like covered in junk so it's just like what what are you
what are you actually doing um this this is really great I was reading um I was
reading the comments under someone in the chat has a tf85 and okay he's pretty
upset he said that I'm sorry to hear that um okay so uh this was really great
I was reading comments on someone's article about this somewhere and they're
just like yeah I at the Apple Store I work at we're all just still
recommending the Mofi case that we still
stock that's like way way Slicker in
terms of design has a higher capacity battery and just we like we can't figure
out any advantage to the first party accessory here so apparently it's been
nicknamed the hump already um saw a really great meme already someone
photoshopped a picture of uh uh Apple's new lead designer and it's just a camel
in the middle of the desert apparently this is sexy now
so I mean here's what I have to say my
favorite thing about this and I don't remember if I already said this on the show or if I said this in the in the
show announcement or whatever but this this is what I have to say about this I
had a really great week because this week I guess couple weeks I got my hands
on the surface book yeah I know you didn't have a great week I got my hands
on the surface book Microsoft's clear
acknowledgement clear message to me directly that I was right and that the
Surface Pro 3 is not a replacement for a laptop because if it was they wouldn't
have needed to release a laptop so I really enjoyed that like it made me feel
so warm and fuzzy inside uh not warm and fuzzy enough to not return the Surface
Book I did end up doing that I was prepared to keep it if it was good
enough okay but I still prefer the blade 14 um even though I don't game really
much at all on it um and then this clear
indication that apple is acknowledging
that I was right it is time to
acknowledge that the iPhone's battery is not good enough and that if that's what
it takes if a cluggy solution with a hump hanging off the back of it is what
it takes it's time to lose the snobby attitude about making it making it
thinner and making it more flat or
whatever and just make a slightly thicker phone it could even be a
different model like the iPhone 6s extended or whatever you want or the 6E
or whatever you want to call it one that has better
battery that would be great
thanks so uh yeah I guess that's all there wow is that all there is to really
say about it it's really stupid man what were they thinking there's nothing it it
picks up lint it doesn't look very good I've heard that it doesn't feel very
good in terms of material but I'm not sure about that I've heard that it feels
awkward to hold in your fit hand great also Apple's acknowledgement that a
curved shape at the back is probably easier to hold although Apple you went
about it all wrong just throwing that out there you could see the LG G4 for
pointers a curved back without also having a flat back and some weird like
spandex leotard that it wears that is like stuffed to make its junk look
bigger and like a lot of people have been saying it super just looks like
they had a whole bunch of batteries and they're like hey we can put some
material around it sell them I guess like it it doesn't
look like a product design thing it looks like a hey we have a lot of these
let's find some way to get rid of it which I don't believe is what happened
to be very clear no no but it looks that way which is bad yeah it really look you
don't want it to look that way compatibility at least it works with the
six so at least they didn't be like yeah it's only for 6s customers right
um yeah I don't know yeah
yeah this is great oh yeah wired couldn't even get a full charge off the
case it's only about a 75% charge so that puts it somewhere in the
neighborhood of probably around, 1600 milliamp hours it's not even equivalent
to the onboard battery so wow so full of
fail um so I guess we're into kind of
Rapid Fire topics for the day y it's gonna be kind of a short show today I
guess is okay not that short liking the
wrong picture on Facebook can get you in prison in Thailand to be clear this is
something that um Thai people are mostly
aware of but defaming the monarchy is illegal under the criminal Tha criminal
code 112 so um yeah
basically in a nutshell this this guy uh
was sentenced to 30 years in prison his Facebook activity was deemed insulting
to the monarchy people are just making fun of 10 years in prison for hacking
yeah yeah years Inon
that some pretty brutal stuff I was reading an article about this and uh one
of the comments under it was what about freedom of speech yeah freedom of speech
is like not a thing in a lot of parts of the world
actually this is cool actually I had not
seen this I must have skipped over this speed test.net now allows users to check
their internet speeds using HTML 5 no
more flash required God very excellent I wonder if the test work webite felt so
old I want to uh I want to do a speed speed test right now I'm going to do one
remember it's not going to be 100% accurate I know I know but I'm going to do it anyway I'm going to do it anyway
don't screenshot it don't scre I will not screenshot it oh what you oh what do
you have to do they've got an HTMI HTML
5 beta site that you have to access so I'm going to have to I'll go find beta
dot uh I don't know um I'll find it you
keep doing things I want to find it you do a thing get
wrecked what if we just both try to find it what if we just both try to find it
good good idea I think it is beta
dot oh I think so way to go
Luke I blame you for this no no it's not or it's not
oh oh so bad www doesn't
work how long did it take you to resolve that on line Tech tips.com 10 minutes
did we have that Pro yeah exactly oh we
didn't have it set up correctly for like a bit and I was like hey Luke when you
type in the www it doesn't work you're like oh yeah
right okay I don't even remember all
right all right you doing it it'sing yeah so it doesn't look like there's
nothing really going on so they're like hm 5 we'll do basically yeah it looks
kind of different I can add like don't worry don't worry I got this just be
careful I I got this i got this
so there you go looks a little something like that high speed inter interwebs uh
it doesn't work properly for us um I've talked to our ISP about the fact that
our internet never tests at the speed that we're it's supposedly rated at and
they're just like well cold hard truth is this um the the servers that are
hosting speed test services are they're
not exclusive to that and they've got gigabit pipes so unless you're speed
testing to a server that has a gigabit pipe has nothing else going on and has
no one else running a speed test you're not going to see your full speed because you're on a gigabit pipe and I'm like
that makes sense I just kind of assumed that like they were more powerful as it
seems to be working yeah like we get the effective speeds yeah but like I can
upload something faster than 285.0 megabit per second right now yeah that's
what that's what I mean like it's it's not like our Internet's working it's
just it's speed test it's like nope your internet's too fast I can't measure it
and there are cases where you can measure full gigabit like for example in
Google's campus I was able to get one millisecond ping gigabit up gigabit down
but that was because the speed test server is probably in the same damn building wouldn't be surprised so at all
so there you go with that wouldn't that
just kill you if you lived like 10
blocks away from like a Google building or something like that and you couldn't
get Google Fiber it's like c c can I just can I just run like a really long
Ethernet cable speaking of running a really long Ethernet cable it's
confirmed um ubiquity networks is
sending us their dish-based pointto point gigabit gear I was just going to
actually say I wonder if you just got close enough that you could have like an access point or a repeater grab their
Wi-Fi send it to a landline and then like shoot it to your house um try to
feed off of like Google's internet not
that you should ever do that I don't condone anything that I just said fairly sure that breaks at least several laws
yep so so but anyway back to the thing that we could do that would be legal not
a good plan is this gear is capable of like 40 km links I don't know if you can
get full gigabit with a 40 km link but
there's a couple different ways we're going to try and tackle it we're either going to do like a moving Vlog like a
project Vlog style thing where we try and get a gigabit link to my house from
the office which I would absolutely love
and would be awesome I'll just I'll keep I don't think that's going to work I I
don't think it's going to work either just cuz of like we'd have to get really
high obstructions yeah like physically High because of obstructions like like
up vertical you have to like Minecraft it like this isn't really going to work
with that said I am on the strata Council oh my God our neighbor hold on
just just just hold on just hold on just just bear with me what about your house
hold on or do you just want to go high enough that you can like angle it down
okay just just wait just calm down for a second okay I'm on the strata Council
neighbor our neighbor our ba neighbor who like Bes he's on the Strat Council
I'd be like I'd be like yo dog can you vote with me on this I want to put a
giant antenna on top of our unit he'd be like yeah whatever man you just offer
yeah to be fair he would and two if you were like if you buy the equipment I can
put one up for you too he'd be super down so so yeah so yeah so it's like
it's like he's a cool guy and there's a
tree near my house that is like pretty
tall and I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to do this but I was say is it yours no but it's really close to my
house paint the antenna green yeah yeah I I've got camo tap I mean don't listen
to me I've got I've got camo duct tape dog so oh my god there you
go so oh my goodness if it can be done we're either going to do that or if
that's just a total disaster and isn't going to happen uh we can't get approval
or whatever else you've heard of like Pirate Radio stuff right yeah oh yeah oh
yeah oh yeah then my parents live on the 39th floor or something have a highrise
oh no so I'm going to put a unit up there and I'm going to try and get a
link to like my house or something oh my God so that's the backup going to make
your own giant local network it's going to be freaking awesome one way or
another I'm super stoked uh we did get two units but one of them is not one of
them's like the consumer grade one so I don't know if it's going to do that long of a
link anyway um so super cool that's
gonna I'm so I am so down for a gigabit
link to the office so yeah this is pretty cool this was
posted on the Forum by Kesh I'm sorry we've been really bad about that lately
someone in the chat just says uh just said where I work uses this a lot that's
cool it's cool stuff I'm assuming it's either shorter and or clearer runs
though yep or they like or they have access to towers and permission to use
them yeah yeah we don't none of those that's what this gear is used for a lot
of the time is for like uh mobile internet service providers um like like
cellular data carriers is they're going to have these on their towers so they'll
have point-to-point links all over the place like if you look at a cell tower
it's going to have like tons of dishes on it so um so one of the ones that we
got is like kind of a consumer Grady one that's actually fairly affordable and
could be great for if you have like a back shed or a barn or something super
cool solution we might do a separate video about that there was a guy that I
knew in high school now keep in mind this sounds like a huge amount of
property but where I went to high school is pretty far out and then where they
lived was like beyond that so this is like deep in Farmville um not the game
yeah so like way back on its property
like pretty far there was this giant building where they did metal fabrication I did a website for them
when I was in high school um would have been super helpful for them it wasn't
very good second it wasn't very oh
dang um that probably would have helped them a lot cuz they had to run this like
terrible I think they had a dedicated internet line for that building because
switching it was like not a good option and all this kind of stuff so if they
could have just done that that would have been super great um anyway so the other unit we're
getting is like a carrier carrier grade one so uh that's the one that will be
running to my house CU I'm the boss if
uh if we end up doing this look at this guy look at this guy terrible shaking
his head terrible I am terrible all right so let's uh go ahead meet the
Android phone with a humongous 10,000 Milah battery now to be clear I'm giving
Apple crap you should see one year if you can just you know how you got your parents the Sonos thing yeah you should
see if you can just cover all of your present needs with with your gifting
present needs with like including like your own so like
just so the entire month of December should be presents for lonus and his
family and his friends and his employees is that where you're getting at with
this I wasn't actually but that
works um okay so to be clear I'm giving
Apple crap for shipping 1,800 milliamp hour batteries in their Flagship like
thousand devices but I'm also not saying that this is necessarily the solution I
think Apple's battery should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 3,000
to 3200 milliamp hours that would get you through an actual heavy use stage
where you actually want to navigate somewhere this is pretty extreme it oh
there's not that many pictures on that's what I mean like I was trying to look this up all I can really tell is that it
looks like it's kind of from from the '90s no no there's uh I found more
pictures of it somewhere else this uh article just doesn't have a lot of pictures I couldn't find any thickness
pictures cuz if it's not that insanely thick and it happens to have 10,000
milliamps on it pry cool it's thicker than a droid turbo like it's pretty it's
pretty hefty the thing that the thing that actually both bothers me about it
though and is also really cool about it is that I wouldn't want to use it
because the specs for it are quite low in it's using like G one GHz mediatech
quad core or something like that um 16 G like total overall storage memory which
is not very good it is expandable uh 720p display 5 and A2 inch uh display 2
gigs RAM like it's it's very not amazing
but what's cool about that is that a 10,000 mamp hour battery it's going to
power that forever like you would actually probably be able to go about a
week on this thing seriously uh it supports 4gte on both of its SIM card
slots so it actually looks pretty interesting um with that said I'm not
I'm not running out to buy one either I don't know why I'm doing this but
someone in the chat said help I can't get above 60 FPS in Fallout 4 try
turning off vsync that's probably your problem okay let's continue okay Spotify
is reportedly considering making some music available only to paid
users so um yeah so that it'll be like
kind of a windowed thing that will withhold certain albums from users who
aren't paying who are accessing the service freely and purely supported so
about Spotify has roughly 80 million users 20 million who pay and 60 million
who don't and the Wall Street Journal reported that Spotify will test this new
approach Spotify did comment we are 100% committed to our model because we
believe that a free ad supported tier combined with a more robust premium tier
is the best way to deliver music to fans create value for artists and songwriters
and grow the industry in that context we explored a wide range of promotional
options for the new Coldplay album and ultimately decided together with
management that Co Planet fans would be best served with the full album on both
free and premium this Friday so they're
still committed to doing it the way they were going to do it it's okay um but
that doesn't mean that they aren't going to experiment with different monetization models because that's the
thing that the digital age allows us to do which is kind of cool is do things
that are new and different and give consumers choice I am not going to hate
on them for this and uh yeah I mean I'm
ultim glad that they're still doing the free ad supported model even though I
personally pay for my music streaming service because I really don't want to
listen to ads in it and I plan to subscribe to YouTube red as soon as I possibly can and all of that stuff which
who knows I really hope it comes to Canada soon but uh there you go it was maybe
going to happen and then it didn't happen and speaking of things that were maybe going to happen and didn't happen
Firefox phone Mozilla has killed the Firefox phone with that said they are
not writing off the Firefox OS and we
could see pop up in other devices in the
future so Mozilla said to Tech crunch well we weren't able to offer the best
user experience possible so asked it which is a responsible thing
to do yep I guess that's pretty much all I
have to say for today yeah I don't know I think that's good oh actually no I
have one more thing to hate on yep stick around for the hate this is that thing
that I teased before that wasn't oh yeah I know nothing about this yeah that's
fine it's really easy this is the most amazing thing that I've seen to date get
this imagine this oh a pocket PC as
portable and light as a smartphone yet as powerful as a desktop
PC you can back it now on Indiegogo I
would love to see what their Indiegogo page looks like where really learn more
click the join button I'm in an endless loop join that one there we
go why have they raised
$300,000 is it Flex let's find out oh it's done is it
done oh yeah so they're done original campaign was
2,945 per funded okay so whoops whoops
okay back to back to the back to the site you shouldn't be allowed to say
something this asinine on the internet let's just let's
just restrict that there internet okay I'm with Mr Trump on this free
speech bro so it's portable no but this is false advertising it's a completely
different thing yeah I don't know what it is okay
well let's let's get I'll wait until I figure what it's portable it's got super
fast storage the flash storage is much faster than regular commonly used 5400
RPM hard diss it is silent it is Intel
powered combined with two gigs of RAM and and an Intel highdef graphics card
you shouldn't be allowed to call call onboard Graphics a graphics card by the way it is not on a card it is especially
not on a card because you could make the argument that a motherboard is just a big card back in the days when the igpu
was on the North Bridge it is especially not a card now that it's on die with a
super fast 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi card also
oh that probably is a card and integrated Bluetooth 4.0 you can connect
to devices within the blink of an eye and browse and watch online videos
possessive should have probably spell checked I mean I try not to be a
nitpicky person about that kind of stuff if you're not being a complete [ __ ]
but that's not what's Happening Here quicker than ever before is it is it in
this next picture uh not really that's it so
that's the PC quad core Intel Adam Bay tril okay so
a bay tril is not a desktop processor this is not faster than a desktop
processor and while it isn't bigger than a phone it also isn't more than a phone
it's just a phone also Intel has much
more powerful PCS that are exactly the same size or very similar if maybe a
little bit bigger like a little bit taller is thicker yeah it's not as long
though but Gigabyte has bricks ones that are thinner if I recall correctly so um
yeah so there's a thing that totally exists there's also the Intel compute
stick yep which is smaller than this and I believe probably way more usable I
don't remember if it's a quad or a dual core though so not fast but like what
are you going to do on this that you can't do onter sick one HDMI output why
are we funding this this is this is stuff that exists already this is and
like the the thing that really makes me mad is not that it's a tiny computer
that's fine let me see if twitch a pocket PC as portable and light as a
smartphone yet as powerful as a desktop PC come on come on the super fast quad core it's
literally the slowest quad core they make the super fast quad core Intel
processor ensures you have enough power to use serious speed for any t people in
chat are claiming that the compute stick is a quad core yeah I think I think it
might be I don't I did the video I should probably know but I don't remember yeah but we don't always
remember everything that we uh everything that we make a video about we make a video literally every day give a
break like the compute stick was usable and it's kind of in an interesting form
factor and you can plug it directly into a monitor and like but what it isn't as
as powerful as a desktop no but that wasn't the point yes whereas this that's
my issue yeah is they're just being ass
Hats about the whole thing
so uh yeah I guess that's pretty much all I
have to say about that there it is there's the Serius B so the fusion C is
just probably what Zotac does
yep so are both of those probably yep
with that said if they have a nice ID like I can see them having a place but I
just I hate it when you're misrepresenting what it is entirely it's like it's no bigger or heavier than a
smartphone well yeah that's cuz it basically as a smartphone without a screen or a
battery I could make a smartphone that's
well okay I personally couldn't but you could take a smartphone I could take a
smartphone take the battery and screen off of it there you go business
model oh wow sell the screens as
replacement screens for people that need to fix their phones sell the batteries
for replacement batteries for people that need to fix their phones sell the inside for more by claiming it's more
than it is oh wow all right well thank you for watching The W show we will see
you guys again next week same bat Time
same bat Channel I'm going to stream tonight okay
by I'm dedicating are you I'm actually do it
can twitch give you C have you noticed our viewership has
been like I don't know what's going on I
don't know why people are watching our I mean I know why they watch our
videos our videos are great I just don't know why they stop
watching I
guess that's
true is it wrong that I just kind of take for granted that people should
watch our content because it's amazing uh I think we've had good content
lately I think so too I don't
know says we we can hear you I know yeah we know we know we know you guys are
cool you guys are like inner sanctum you stuck around till after the outro
actually this is pretty much everyone it's seems like no one really Tunes out until after the I think it's cuz we've
made a habit of just we don't stop talking right cuz we do that like every
week yeah but I Blame You yeah that's
probably Fair yeah what they can't do is see us we could be making out right now
for all they
know
