hey guys Li is getting catchup so we're just going to start the show while that
happens um there was a massive dos that
happened in the last couple days I think basically just today but anyways it
brought down Amazon Twitter Spotify bunch of different kind of huge stuff I
couldn't tweet all day that was actually kind of frustrating cuz like I'm trying
to tweet super badass pictures of compensator 2 and it's like nope nope
failed to send tweet would you like to retry yes doesn't do anything no PNG GG
nope PNG .0 available on all models cars
including the model 3 once that comes out which is pretty nuts unveiled
speaking of unveiled speaking of revealing Nintendo confused us all with
the announcement of the Nintendo switch uh which I am super stoked on uh on
chatting about later because I'm pretty sure that I'm not going to agree with
you or I will agree with you but you're going to buy it anyway yep um and Razer
purchased THX I still don't so so we'll be back I mean
next next they're going to say that like Taylor Swift's on their board of directors in other news like Luke is
dying so if he's not here when we come back from the intro you'll know what
happened that happened last time too it
was that's going to be the problem too cuz when I laugh that makes it
happen and last went I was by myself so it was easier to
that now you're here
he's going do all right ma well cable
mod I fixed it I I fixed it okay you got
to do the eating cont yeah there you go lineus Tech tips eating
contest have a bit done so I guess we're
going to start with Nintendo switch so I can just talk about this no I want to
talk about that too we don't need Linus's input on this at all yes we
do so it's like it's a handheld that's
also a console uh that you can put the
controllers on or you can take the
controllers off and you can use the controllers independently for two
people or just one person and you can maybe do like local network play
wirelessly maybe and there's Skyrim and there's the new Zelda game and there's a
new Mario game and like there was tons of stuff that was more or less announced
in this video but not like spelled out
on screen which was really interesting like the new Mario game they showed it but they
weren't like hey new Mario game which is kind of interesting so people weren't
really paying attention they just be like oh yeah Mario he's everywhere they
put him on everything but no it's a new Mario game pretty crazy um it's super
weird with that said it's not exactly like a like a
groundbreaking no you know revelatory
sort of but it it would oh really wait hold on no no no you got to stop do a
new Nintendo console and there's going to be a new
Mario game for it no that's it enough internet
no yeah it's a kind of a weird announcement um I'm back that was it we
had heard for a while that there was going to be some kind of like console
and handheld thing that was in the rumors for a long time even so I didn't
really expect this cuz the dock doesn't really look like it does anything other
than applying direct power and video
pass through I think I don't think there's any compute happening there I
don't think there's anything else happening there especially because when he when they go
to pick it up and they go to switch or whatever you want to say it um when they
pick it up out of the console if you already have the controller bits on it
which you can just leave the controller sides on the console if you'd like uh
because this switch bit right here this
left controller and this right controller can come right off and then
they rail in on the sides of this bit right in the middle of the like console
box I so then that becomes kind of like
the tablety part of the Wii U which like
if it if it works the same way is actually pretty awesome but then
like what uh it's a
we Le gainst it in every way but it's was weird it's very weird so another
announcement that came in parallel that for whatever reason isn't in our notes
I'm actually not sure why that is but another announcement that came in
parallel was from NVIDIA where they said they're going to be the ones providing
Hardware yeah for the Nintendo switch so
this is interesting for a couple of
reasons is
that and like okay so number one is that
it means Nintendo's portable is actually going to have like programmable
a programmable GPU in it for the first time ever instead of some like custom
random thing that they sort of stapled together out of like some ARM cores and
whatever else they kind of found on you know bangood.com if you want to like
dive more into that go look at like the technical diagrams for the Wii
U some weird stuff it's part of the reason why people have such a hard time
emulating those kind of games is just cuz it's it's just weird it's running on
super weird Hardware uh sometimes um so
the other thing this means is that we could be looking
at kind of a tablet likee form factor um
and and the whole concept seems kind of like uh like oh man how do
I describe this like somewhere between the NVIDIA Shield tablet which is really
confusingly named because now they have NVIDIA Shield Android TV and the NVIDIA
Shield tablet is actually like discontinued they have the somewhere
between the NVIDIA Shield tablet and that
weird what was that thing called what I reviewed it um I don't remember the
Razor Edge Pro this stupid thing what so it had this uh gam pad
controll I work here when we made this doc thing I don't remember it was a long
time ago okay I remember this whole there you go that thing okay yeah I know
this so it's kind of like this thing this is which was uh it was like a it
was like a 940m or something I it even says it's a tablet it's a mobile console
yeah um text specs USB ports thank you
for that razor um
wow oh okay because it's the because I'm
looking at the gam pad controller okay fine fine fine fine so it added more IO
and blah blah blah okay what was it a 640 mle with Optimus technology so this
this is back um until core i7 dual core
with hyper threading doesn't even say what generation core i7 it was so okay
apparently the audio quality is fine but it is apparently cutting out sometimes
have it from a relatively reliable source okay um I'm not entirely sure how
to solve that yeah I don't really know what to do cuz I'm not moving anything
like I'm not touching it we still got a twitch Prime sub
though hell yeah terrible audio still
getting Subs wow um that's what's up
we appreciate you so it's kind of like like that concept but what I said about
that at the time was cool concept way
too heavy like totally impractical from a battery life and a weight perspective
okay then we got the NVIDIA Shield tablet which didn't really take off
there was that battery recall that HT that hurt that product in a big way and
then it just kind of disappeared and if we look back at the
timing for when it disappeared I do wonder if what we're going to discover
is that might have been around the time that NVIDIA locked in a deal pretty
close with Nintendo looking at like console creation life life ranges and
like how long there's been rumors about the NX coming out yeah I wouldn't be
surprised if it was like six months later that rumors about the NX started
kind of starting I mean I like I'm just trying to I'm trying to figure out like
when did NVIDIA Shield tablet YouTube
like let's find out when our video went up and see if it makes sense so actually
no I don't think that's long enough cuz the tablet K1 unboxing no wait okay
initial reviews went up in August
2014 so if Nintendo saw that that was probably
enough time for them to at least pivot the development of the Nintendo NX
because you got to remember too Nintendo is developing their own first party AAA
titles for it and they've got to make sure that those are going to run on
whatever it is that they end up with yep
so a couple a couple more interesting things here this is the first NVIDIA
GPU uh win design win in a console since
PlayStation 3 and actually one of the
only two now that I think about it AMD has been the GPU powering pretty much
everything for the last little bit Xbox One S Xbox making hits on that too um or
like not making much at least so my understanding is that it's not like
amazing ly lucrative like it was in the
Xbox Xbox One PlayStation 3 generation
yeah but that it's like Los no Xbox One not Xbox original I
think Xbox original they ended up doing pretty well wait no Xbox original wasn't
that NVIDIA as well GPU in Xbox in
original Xbox I thought it was like equivalent to like a Pentium
3 um like 733 MHz and then it says
finding stuff on this is going to be kind of annoying uh code yeah the GPU
was co-developed by Microsoft and NVIDIA so there you go there was that one as
well sort of co-developed kind of um wow
hey I got the CPU right 733 mehz Intel pendium 3 copper mine oh yeah go lus he
remembers a thing that no one asked him about I actually liked that
console um I liked the like terrible logo and do you remember the controllers
that were way too big for anyone except for like my dad cool let's talk about
controllers for a minute here let's go back to oh they're horrible let's go
back to picture of the of the switch okay so this I think will be fine uhhuh
I honestly think when you have them railed on the side yeah of the screen it
will be fine because my favorite controller to use with the Wii U is the
big tablet with the screen in the middle when I first saw it I was like I'm going
to hate this and then it got to the point where if I was using anything else
it was worse experience and my only like
proper compromise in my opinion was a Pro Controller if I wanted to play
something how much of that is the second
screen experience and how much of it is just the uh the more comfortable spacing
of your of your elbows it's comfortable so so like give me a percentage um
probably almost entirely comfort of the elbows because I wouldn't really look at
the second screen I meant like for playing Mario Kart yeah like I used to
play Mario Kart all the time I us to stream it stuff I would use that
controller even though I was never looking down cuz you could look down to
see I think the mini map or you could look on the main screen for a way better
view of seeing the mini map and still be able to see where the heck you're going
so yeah I didn't really care about the second screen yeah second screen for gaming I'm really not that sold on it
was kind of cool as a fifth player aspect in the Mario Platformers you
could play like a Godlike kind of character and put down little platforms
and stuff that only lasted for certain periods of time to like just kind of
have some fun but like so many Nintendo things there's like one first party
title and then yep yep yay y so it
actually kind of feels like they're trying to get away from that which is I
think it was Ubie I'm not entirely sure but it could be Ubisoft said not that
long ago like oh we think Nintendo's going in the right direction with their
new console blah blah blah blah blah blah blah so I think that's has a lot to
do with the less things that I think are kind of
cool but a little bit gimmicky deals now look at what I just noticed oh no never
mind I thought this plus symbol was a plane and I was like whoa it has data
but no that's just a little plus symbol so I mean I guess that's all fine and
good for people like you whose forearms are about as big as my biceps but are
you concerned at all about controller weight if you have to basically have the
gaming console I mean okay okay so coup I don't
really think so do you think the second screen makes a comeback so can you use
the can you plug this like are you expected to wirelessly transmit no no no
no no not at all okay so if you second screen dead do you think uh from what
they've showed us in this trailer yeah they they didn't use it as a second
screen at all not even once um what
happened was if you like is this a screenshot or is this this is just a
screenshot okay yeah yeah yeah if you go to a different part of the video he
docks it actually with these controller arms still on it that's the way that I
would use it because I'm going to lose lose these things just to be honest so
I'd rather it stayed on the screen so that I don't lose it um and then the
like box that you can put these on and use them as a controller so let's go
back to that picture um oops oh no not that not that one
let's go back to the other one okay yep go ahead yeah this looks right that
thing looks horrible it is really ugly oh man I
don't know I'm not interested in using that at all my plan
is to take both the controller arms rail
them onto the console and then just never take them off and not use this
stupid thing and just use the the new Pro Controller that they've got which
looks almost identical to the previous Pro Controller which is
fine so there you go and like I don't
know if you saw the other scenes but they'll like take these off and use them
as singular controllers so like you can have just
flip them flip them on their side yeah yeah so you could take see how this
thing is actually slotted in use the yeah here slot so that's slott that's
how you're supposed to play if you want it to be on the TV so it isn't a dual
screen experience unless maybe you like have a second one but then again no
except one weird third party or one
weird first party is going to actually do it but anyways um so they like took
the thing out brought it somewhere I don't remember where there's a little flip on the back of it so they can set
it up as like a little stand mhm so you don't have to be holding it the whole
time if you don't want to for the ARM fatigue thing that you're talking about and and then he handed one of these half
controllers to someone beside him who turned it to the side and started using
it as like a sideways weote kind of deal and then he used the other what
infuriates me about that is that they're
different yeah ergonomically that's a mess they're not the same yeah so one
person is going to be flipping it down this way and the other person's going to
be flipping this up this way and this person's thumb stick is in the middle
and that one's on the end and these like
w yikes even like on screen telling you
what to do this one's arrows that
one's abxy so tell me this though I mean
this is okay I'm actually I I'm going to
present an argument counter to yours right now okay so tell me this though as
the owner of a Nintendo switch okay when your buddies come over and you use your
Pro Controller and you guys are just playing some stupid like platformer
where four buttons and a joyad is enough are you going to invest in two more Pro
controllers for your buddies or you going to make them use the controllers knowing Nintendo their
previous controllers probably work do you think they will okay we saw we saw I
honestly think weot are going to work on this like Wii to Wi U I can see the
logic in their in their mind of going
okay like a Wii controller should work on a Wii console
I wouldn't be surprised if we don't have compatibility because it's not like
Nintendo it's quite different it's not like Nintendo has never been known to
kill interoperability for no apparent reason mhm I mean they are still a
Japanese company um okay I
think I think I have a feeling motion is
dead you think so I think so but I I
don't think that inter
play as de so like I think you'll be able to use a wiot sideways for
Platformers and stuff I don't think I
don't know but I don't think that motion is going to be around and I think
they're completely ditching the VR aspect although I have seen some people
talking about like the cloth headset ideal or idea not ideal where you have
like uh what is it called Daydream you know the Daydream headset thing where
they could just release that and then it's like oh Nintendo VR I just hope
they don't to be completely honest um
and then yeah I think I think motion is gone and Nintendo's going back and just
deciding that they want to kind of bring their mobile and their console together
a little bit and there you go so this is NVIDIA's wet dream oh yeah this whole
this is this is what NVIDIA has been trumpeting from the rooftops for years
since since the first Tegra I guess it's been a while yeah since the first Tegra
which is probably like you got Nintendo walked up to NVIDIA and we're
like oh you're doing some cool stuff you want to work with yes please like yes
this is what we've been trying to do with our with our portable Graphics
technology we haven't been able to get anyone to get on board so we've had to
make our own products which we like totally didn't want to do and we like
totally screwed it up and and this sucks
um we just want to make gpus and compute things we just want to make like really
really cool gpus that are like super power efficient we want someone else to
put it in something and support it and make games like lordy
um so okay okay motion is heavily rumored
by trustworthy leakers apparently so maybe these little things are motion
control but then I kind of think that's going to suck well yeah but the original
weote sucks so like is that yeah but weote plus Som surprising yeah okay
still like you know selling selling the Wii or even
we of like you can have lightsaber duels
is is falls under somewhere between very
deceptive and like litigation worthy
yeah so yeah I don't know man someone
said I wouldn't say motion is gone it's just not a focus I definitely don't
think it's a focus unless they yeah no for have like another trailer in the
future where they show like different things but they they didn't show any
focus and there's plenty of time for that oh there is there's quite a while
till this is going to be launched I still have so many questions as to like
like what's this like what's this little Notch yeah there's a little notch in the
back they can't see what is it's okay oh I didn't realize we weren screen sharing
there's a little notch in the back of the controller what exactly does the
dock do is it only video pass through
and power or like is there more to it I
doubt there's more to it I doubt there is too yeah again that's like they just
didn't answer that question like this to me looks like a beefed up
NVIDIA Egra BAS tablet with some rails
on the side for controllers with some rails on the side for a controller and
with Nintendo's first party IP ultimately driving the
sales because it's Zelda so everyone's going to buy it is this an attempt to
lower software development
costs by consolidating the two the two platforms now they don't have to have a
separate develop development team working on like mobile games mobile
Zelda versus uh fullsize console Zelda
they can just kind of go like could they could they double their output to their
install base of sellable games by just
doing twice as many zeldas twice as many Marios and doing them all for the same
platform now does it just me kind of spitballing like the business decision
that goes into trying to make a one size fitall solution my girlfriend had some
interesting kind of ideas for this I'm just going to bring it back up since
there's like which was like one of them was optional side quests that make you
bring it into portable mode so like if you're if they mix like
the the like vague concept of the go
games like Pokémon go um and make it so
like oh okay there's an optional side quest for you to like go do something
that's 500 M that way so you have to like get up off your butt have to get up
rail the controllers on the side walk away with the console go over there do
something while you're over there or like go up this much elevation or down
this much elevation or whatever oh that's I guess that's hard in some areas
here it's not um I thought that would be interesting I
seriously doubt anyone will do that ever but I thought that could be kind of
fun there's there's a lot they could still do with this but it does simplify
things one like I'm sure there's people in the chat where there's like more or
less confirmed rumors or whatever but I've been trying to stay away from rumors as much as I can at one point in
time only once did I see him put anything or her whatever the different
people that were in the trailer put anything into
itard sized thing so it looked like a Game Boy
game so one game boy game compatibility
maybe two is that the new
media right maybe full games are sold on
this like small size thing because we've seen SD cards in huge capacities yeah
for a long time SD cards you could put any game on
an SD card today any game yep so so like
are they changing the media format is it no longer going to be a disc I don't
know I don't know man it's pretty interesting I wouldn't mind saying
goodbye to discs that's for sure I was actually playing a game on my SNES on
the weekend I was like wow no loading that's
cool I remember that I would be cool
with getting away from discs I do still like physical media right I just I don't
know yeah yeah yeah cuz I I hate the idea of like like this thing doesn't
look very big wonder how much storage it has probably not
enough who's been screwed over by the Nintendo store before probably everyone
that owns one of their consoles like I'd rather own the physical media just so I
know that it's going to work next time I plug it in yeah I um I have two Wiis
long story um do
you two Wiis long story and uh one of
them has all of my Nintendo store purchases on
it broken disc
drive and it turns out and this this again is like like Hardware revision
cons this weekend I actually had to go on eBay and buy a refurbed optical drive
for it because if I bought a new one I
would lose because I have an rv001 one which
has GameCube ports on the side so I have to buy from some cheesy eBay store some
refurbed optical drive that's like it's a known bad part they fail all the time
so like the fact that that one still works today means absolutely nothing
about two weeks from now yep and uh
that's the only way to solve that problem y so I will be doing that when
it arrives um like you said have oh I guess I could
have just swapped the optical drives yeah isn't no I bought one well
whatever well does that one have the right optical drive uh yeah they were
both launch units okay I I literally camped out multiple times for the
Nintendo wiii it was the one and only time that I have ever camped out for
anything all right
we've got people upset about trying the other
end trying the other end trying the other end of the cable I don't think
that's it though I yeah it's definitely not the a
side USB a is pretty much always
fine okay well that's
in I don't think that's going to solve it oh oh
I yeah but I think that's like I yeah
it's delayed yeah I don't think that's anyway all
right that work so moving on to have we only done
one topic we only done one topic we were
like it is kind of an important topic um but let's move on so orig you
interested final thoughts final thoughts Nintendo NX or what are they calling it
now Swit name oh my God it sounds so much this looks a little trashy I'm
going to put that there there we go um I only
noticed that now hello yes um we're
twitch streamers yeah oh oh dang um I I hate that name it it
super sounds like an accessory which like sucks because the
Wii U sounded like an add-on for the Wii and now the Nintendo switch sounds like
and the Wii sounded like a penis so they're like they're like 0 for three
yeah in like the last 10 years yeah how
can you how can you do it wrong Nintendo switch doesn't it's not it's not a sexy
name Nintendo NX was pretty cool I could
have even played with that like n is in docked mode and then X you put the
controllers on the side the Nintendo NX is cool Nintendo
switch is just like it's like they don't have focus groups yeah or something like
it's probably you know what it's probably one of those things where like the Japanese name is super cool or
something and like super awesome and makes a ton of sense M and then they
just like ask that dude in accounting who speaks English like hey yo what
should we call it and he's like oh uh
hold on a second I just got to I just got to switch my uh thing to speaker
phone sorry what was that
switch I don't know man apparently the audio is borked again yeah I I don't
know what we're supposed to do about that
so okay mic problems are like okay
what's worse mic problems are printer problems uh wow it depends do I need to
print something right now yeah and you're also live on a show
um I don't I don't know I think they're both
terrible
um let's see we've got people saying
printer problems I mean that means it's working
right that was kind of a trick to see if people were going to answer the question
I guess so this show face palm I know right okay
let's move on to our next topic yeah with rage this is
interesting uh so the original article here is from no film school with razer's
purchase of THX we're one step closer to Ultimate
calibration what
what um
what I don't really necessarily think
that that is going to have anything to do with anything I mean this is oh I
mean this is great okay so wouldn't it be nice if we had a laptop with image
quality that looked reasonably close to that of its broadcast
monitor I really doubt that razer's
acquisition of THX has anything to do do
with having their laptops be broadcast
monitor quality have broadcast monitor quality displays like the cost of
putting a broadcast monitor quality display in one of these
like I I love the razor blade and I think it's a great laptop but already
they could have put a better display in the razor blade and that could have been
done fairly easily based on what's available in the market it and they
didn't so I I don't think they're going to run out and buy THX so that they
could certify their their displays to
sort something okay hold on so anyway in 1983 George Lucas created THX to make
sure Return of the Jedi felt right in theaters THX has been certifying audio
visual systems ever since um Panasonic TVs enio AV receivers
Lincoln cars kind of Etc so Razer CEO
mlan and THX CEO taod Taylor said not neither brand will be going away and the
two companies will continue to they're going to have their own
Direction their own customer base and they're going to be operating their own management with their own vision and so
forth so Razer plans to retain all of thx's existing 50 person staff and will
hire 10 to 15 more people to expand their core certification business so
they want to sell more CTS so you shouldn't see any THX by Razer or other
such cross branding um they see a lot of potential
to have the expertise of THX supplies in new categories like virtual reality and
spatial surround sound and Razer CEO added that thx's patents in those areas
might be valuable
um this is just weird M ltan also said
that while they are one of the biggest when it comes to headsets they haven't
really expend having the best out there which
as Min knows I most assuredly do not
agree kind have a funny quote at all from
the guy that makes razor headsets um they haven't expanded their
audio line because they're just so focused on having really good stuff no
no themselves Razer oh seriously yeah
cuz they're intended okay we killed
Luc so I I I get a lot of people asking
me XY or Z and the reason for it is that
the conclusion for every razor headset review that I can do is always the same
we also don't review Turtle Beach headsets it's always like yeah it's okay
I guess for the price but the sound signature is awful it's a mess or Astro
headsets um yeah Astro they don't like us Astro doesn't like us at all um boy
that was a terrible product I reviewed and they sure didn't like
my least Razer is still willing to talk to us
reviews of their products from time to time y um so basically I if if I had to
interpret this somehow um Razer with
data investment money needs to grow
their business and The Business of
certification is something they've already indicated that they're
interested in so things like the Razer co-branded cases from NZXT and antech uh
things like razor Edition systems from the likes of main gear um so they've
already demonstrated that this is something that they're actively working on so now they have a dedicated
subdivision of the company sort of like a sister company like an owned company
and a a child company is it called it's a parent company a child compy I don't
know anyway the point is they own THX
and so we can expect to probably see uh given that they're expanding TI's staff
by 20 plus perc
so so we're going to see a lot more like
you know ASUS Rog Swift monitor
certified by THX or maybe like um you
know it's something razer's never really done in the past so you'll
see while HP do is Harmon Carden Harman card
Harman Cardon Altech Lancing like
designed that used to be like every every laptop that happened to be silver
I don't know why this no this was a thing for like 2 years every laptop that
was silver colored would have an Al Landing
bad it was a thing um is called is that
a pro or a non-pro FP look at the bottom
look at the bottom is there an XLR input no that is not a pro we will not be able
to hot swap it but thank you uh if you can get a pro that would be
swell Colton tries to do things get Pro Colton oh uh you know what speaking of
getting Pro we wouldn't be able to be professionals at this if it
dream and our sponsors ma Welden which
is why I've been very careful that I haven't been build food on your shiring
anything on my shirt all right so Mac weldon's actually a new sponsor for us
uh ma Weldon believes in smart design premium fabrics and simple shopping they
have underwear socks shirts undershirts hoodies and sweatpants that are super
comfortable to wear we are wearing some of their stuff right now that is bolded
in my talking points thank you for that Colton otherwise I might have missed missed that so I'm actually wearing just
it's like a it's like a simple kind of like pocket on the front kind of te it's
very comfortable is this a polo you
don't know clothes do you it's a polo though right I actually don't know you
don't know clothes either it's it's the buttons don't go I thought Polo was short for
pullover no really p o l
o it's not short for po so they have a line of silver underwear and shirts that
are naturally antimicrobial which means that they help eliminate odors that's
actually really cool so I don't know if you guys know this but silver itself
like silver the element is naturally antimicrobial that's why a lot of people
put silver things in their water cooling Loops uh because if you have silver
fittings actually silver fittings don't necessarily work the best because the
silver um can actually come off over
time just from the water flowing over it and then when you go to re use them there's actually no silver ions left in
the loop anyway the point is people will put like a little silver coil in the
reservoir sometimes which releases silver ions into your Loop which
actually just naturally kills microbes so so there you go it's like actual
science the whole like silver antimicrobial thing yeah now in your
pants and they want you to be comfortable so if you don't like your
first pair you can keep it and they will still refund you no questions asked
pretty cool not only does Mac weldon's underwear socks and shirts look good
they perform well too too good for working out going to work going on dates
and just everyday life that's good that their clothes is good for everyday life because that's usually when I wear
clothes so head over to Mac wen.com and get 20% off using offer code Tech tip
whoops I always do that I'm like well no I was pointing at the URL
that time uh okay that's my excuse and
I'm sticking with it all right also a
sponsor on the show today is I fix it your complete DIY electronics repair
solution I actually whipped out my iFixit kit as well as ifixit.com when I
repaired my Wii this weekend so I
used um this Phillips head I used this socket
just to extend my Phillips head to get at one of the uh actually I I I realized
sponsor spots probably aren't the right time for this but here's some feedback
on how they could improve the next revision of their kit oh no um a nice
low profile extension for the bits is
sometimes nice to reach into those those hard toach areas because as much as I
love the nural thing on the screwdriver
see right here it's actually really good it's a lot better than the last 10 screwdriver this could stand to be
longer and Slimmer so that you can get into deeper things a little bit better
sometimes so so leave the neurl there and then turning the nurl would turn the
extension no I just want an extension yeah so so kind of like this socket that
sometimes I put bits in in order to make them a little bit longer so I used that
I used my small my midsize triwing
and I think that was pretty much it there triwing on the Wii uh yeah
interesting yeah because Nintendo is a bunch of bunch of jerks yeah apparently
they just want you to not be able to take things apart but that's okay because I fix it doesn't give any spits
about uh companies not wanting you to take your stuff apart yeah actually no I
used a couple more things I used my tweezers and I used my metal spudger in
order to remove some things so basically the Protech tool kit includes the 64-bit
driver kit it includes suction cups for taking off displays and anti-static
wrist strap some of their pry tools um
anti-static safe uh tweezers as well as
reverse tweezers those can be pretty handy uh their metal spatula thing their
spudgers as well as one of these littley
tools do you improperly use the most oh all of them yeah I mean I think that's
the point of a versatile tool is that you just kind of like attack the problem
yeah use it for whatever yeah um all of
their all of their parts are or EXC me all their tools are backed by a lifetime
warranty and they have great guides on their site that make our lives a lot
easier and the other one and the other one and the other one and the other one
there we go give me that one give me that you
guys do I don't know if this is going to work doing this swap in real time the
like I think I think xplit might might like get confused and it's and it's more
likely that it's the cable than the mic anyway which is just sort of a sort of
an interesting you want to try it anyways I don't know no because it you
want to do the sponsor spot first yeah we chance destroying the show if we do
that so cable
mod yay I used cable cables in compensator today yep so that was good I
use their custom cables whenever I need to do like a really really compact build
what is this even what did he hand me open it up all right I'm going to open
so cable mod cables are made to order their notable features include but are
not limited to their mod Flex sleeving which is softer than traditional nylon
sleeving and thinner than cloth braiding it actually looks sick you'll notice
cable mod cables in use on like most of our case reviews many of our build blogs
uh they are 100% heat shrink free which means that the sleeved portion of the
cable what is he doing goes all the way
into the housing so you don't have any of the heat shrink stuff that plastic
stuff sticking up around the end of the connector they're invisible wires
feature means that you cannot see through the braiding so the wire inside
could be any color and you would actually have no way of knowing that although I believe they are black don't
quote me on that I've never actually had one of them Fray to the point where I could see through it and then I'm going
to have to yell at Colton about my talking points because this is great easily Bend and flex your liking superb
flexibility that is the same thing as modflex sleeving softer than traditional
sleeving thinner than cloth braing more flexible yeah Colton is Colton is just
he's dying he's actually fallen down he has died so he he and Luke are both dead
so we are down to 13 people here at lus Media Group um they also the probably
the best thing about cable mod though is their configurator so you can go over to
their
website I use this thing all the
time so whenever I'm doing any kind of
uh oops Global store configurator oh I
opened up that have you seen these go to Global store okay cool custom PSU
cables so basically you go in you put in
your your power supply you put in what kind you want blah blah blah let's say I
got one of these and I got one of those they've got pretty much everything which
is pretty cool and then you pick whatever things you want and then you
specify the length that you want and then you can even which is really cool
here let's continue the next step check this out you can individually select the
colors of every wire so you kind of like paint it you just go blah blah blah you
know I want like a you know dank ass
like whatever this would be kind of thing going on here you can do that
cable mod might advise against it but they will definitely ship that to you if
you so desire so the configurator is really cool and this is a relatively
recent addition to their portfolio they actually have their sleeved external
cables now too so this is an Ethernet cable and then I think Luke is also
running out to grab uh a power cable wow that one's really
vibrant so this one uses the cloth
braiding this one uses is a nylon braiding but basically they're like
really clean power cables Ethernet cables all kinds of external cables so
your desk cable management can look as good as your systems Cable Management
you take that too thank you and for some reason my cable mod
lower third wasn't there so let's go ahead and bring that up so head over to
caod bit. leod PPC and you can save 20%
on all cable mod products over at I think that's performance PCS and I'm
getting the nod from Colton who's supervising me cuz he's not sure if I'm going to do all this stuff right I think
he no I think he knows we're going to do it wrong if the discount isn't active
yet check back later that that will be up so cool
stuff should we move on and actually like do some topics maybe are we going
to try to hot swap the mic uh oh man I'm
super sketched on that um cuz like
levels will need to be adjusted and like
I don't uh
temporar okay I'm just gonna I'm just going to leave it apparently the
discount is active so that's cool go check that out you guys nice all right
Tesla reveals autopilot 2.0 available on
all new cars including the model three I
wonder how long until like some guy buys the model 3 and is
completely against autop pilot and their kid tries to rip all the tech out and
see what they can do with it cuz it comes with like uh some pretty intense
Hardware they call it a NVIDIA GPU Titan
supercomputer like it's pretty intense and considering the cost of the
car and the fact that you get an entire car and it has that in it is actually
kind of interesting honestly that's something that I've always had a hard
time figuring out why it is that when I'm buying a $3,000 TV it doesn't have a
$200 processor in it why don't you just
make it $3,200 and put a proper processor in it
like Honestly though same thing with cars like why is it that any car made in
the last 10 years doesn't have an incredibly fluid interface yeah no
excuse I just spent $35,000 on
this why didn't you spend a and and that that's the thing like going back five
years I wanted to do a video like okay so way back when we first started doing
car stuff the first car thing on our channel was some BMW thing that I did at
CES and then I wanted to do a followup which is where I compared my car to
newer similarly priced when they were new um cars that were on the market and
I wanted to compare them as a car tech episode like cartech Through the Ages
like okay my car is from 2009 so I think this was 2015 we'll go like in the last
6 years how much has improved like let's
let's look at how the automotive industry Paces through things apparently
cly not at all or negatively sometimes
um there are some like newer cars which are pretty awesome but at that point in
time we got in contact with insert manufacturer here cuz honestly I don't
remember who it was I want to call it the wrong one so
whatever um and their car had a smaller
screen and less features than mine at the same price as when mine was new I
was just like what and to be clear there is some better stuff coming oh and there
is some better stuff out now but like yeah some of them are still really
brutal and that one was pretty bad and I still feel the same way about TVs like
why do TVs still have input leg I I
don't care how much image processing you put a processor in
it just just put a better one
in I mean I went off about that on the
uh the video I did of LG's $8,000 Signature Series I'm just like they're
like yes the priority was image quality that's nice
prioritize everything it's an $88,000 TV
prioritize everything I don't expect to
have a crummy gaming experience on a product that costs as much um so this
picture here also from the electrek.co
article here shows you what a Tesla will
be able to see with all of the sensors
with which it is now equipped so eight cameras three of which
are front-facing better ultrasonic and a 40 times more powerful onboard computer
and they're calling it an NVIDIA GPU Titan super computer does that mean it
is actually based on like a GP 20
something what what is it gp2 200 GP 2011 I wouldn't be surprised cuz at that
like really weird I don't know if any of you guys saw this I periscoped it I
think and I guess that means that it was on my Twitter cuz I didn't have access
to the main Twitter then but when I was at computex there was this really weird
NVIDIA announcement meeting and it was like a tiny little
room and it wasn't really done all that well to be completely honest but they're
talking about machine learning and something that they kept on pushing but
would not answer was that they wanted to do more stuff with their
Titan talking about Pascal very specifically right and they're talking
about how like oh we've spent enough money to get someone to uh was it Mars
they were saying like we spent so much money developing this stuff and there
was a big underlying thing that was like yeah you're all here for computex but we
spent a lot of money developing this stuff and it wasn't necessarily all for
you right there was like that was definitely an
under throwing it in your face but it was the unspoken like there's other
stuff going on so I wouldn't be surprised at all if this is Pascal based
so it'll reach level three autonomy in the coming months and level four and
five autonomy by 2018 in vehicles
produced today in 2016 so you still have to pay more
so the uh safety stuff is included for nothing but the autopilot convenience
features were $3,000 and the new options also come at a price so in order to get
fully autonomous driving you're going to have to spend $8,000 on the system um okay so if
you're buying a model 3 that's quite an extra ad
mhm Tesla's moving away from the name autopilot that should be noted since
it's going full autonomous and blah blah blah including greater so they're
calling the safety level substantially greater than that of a human
driver uh the eight surround cameras provide visibility around the car up to
250 M and like while it's a little bit of a
bold claim because they don't have very much sample data compared to all the
other cars ever yeah it kind of
logically as we go on will become and
already arguably is safer than average drivers on the road so this was exciting
today large dos attacks cause outages at
Twitter Spotify and other sites including Shutterstock which made it a
little bit difficult for us to get videos edited today but you know
hey you know I'm sure they were you know
doing something important so do our
notes even have like um so they took down Amazon Twitter Spotify a second
attack has been reported sites were down for two hours before coming back up and
the way they achieved this was by attacking D DNS a public DNS service um
um which is pretty intense yeah so
websites and services across the East Coast were shut down earlier in the day
and Dy added that the attack impacted its DNS Advanced Services monitoring for
customers but it later resolved the issues the Department of Homeland
Security told CNBC that it is looking into all potential causes potential
causes of the attack I can tell them the potential cause it's got cheese stained
fingers there was some seismic activity yeah seismic
it caused dos
attacks razor blade Pro yep are you
stoked do you care um I requested a
review sample if that's what you're asking am it looks thin and it has a
1080 in it stoked I think stoked is a strong word it has an Ethernet port and
I'm stoked about that hell raw yeah baby 2016 bringing
Ethernet ports that's right bringing it back yeah sucker
I am interested in the fact that it features their new lowprofile mechanical
membrane hybrid switches that's cool because while the blade switches are
like acceptable I don't think they're I personally don't like them that much oh
I really like them but compared to other laptops in its thickness they're very
good compared to other laptops at all
I'm not a fan okay that's not really fair cuz if we're going to like pull the
gt80 Titan out I'm not you know full Cherry MX Brown not counting that
one not counting that one actually don't like that experience either cuz that
experience as a whole is just kind of terrible I don't understand how they
sold so many of those laptops have you ever you've like tried to use it right
like it's not it's not you know they were you know they reneged on the GPU
upgrade commitment right seriously yeah I did not know they had no choice GTX
1080 replaced
980m oh yeah yeah they had no choice
like it was completely different ball wax there was no way for them to power
cool it so apparently I talked to the US
office about it apparently they worked it out so that gt80 Titan owners could
work out some kind of a deal to like upgrade there was like an upgrade
program for the laptop itself or something but like yeah what a bad
situation that's pretty brutal um okay so some more some more specs for the
Razer Blade Pro I mean the one thing I'll say about the new razor blade Pro
is that this is one case where it's actually just Jus ified to like do a
reboot calling it the new razor blade Pro because they have had a razor blade
Pro before no no the original Blade Pro had that switchblade thing where it was
like a display on the touchpad the glass touchpad glass touchpad that was off to
the right you're getting soft I don't consider it a real product you're
getting oh oh I consider it a tech demo
I don't think they sold a lot of them no
have you ever seen no a Blade Pro I've even tried to tell people about it cuz I
remember like we reviewed it where I no one has any idea what I'm ever talking
about it had like a 760m or like a 660m in it or something
like it had an awful GPU in it that thing on the side 17in display weird
side mounted like so doomed I get it
okay reboot proper GPU 17.3 in so you're
talking like Tomb Raider kind of reboot yes I'm talking like rebooted like new
Tomb Raider new razor blade Pro
can you get on board with that but they didn't call it new Tomb Raider they just called it Tomb Raider that's true but
that's kind of worse like if they just called it Tomb Raider 2013 we'd all be a
lot less confused and I don't think anyone's confused though I think that
was like the one time that actually sort of worked let's see so they're just
calling it new well okay so I'm still not I'm still not that was a pretty
significant amount of time I think for Tomb Raider yeah was like 20 years how
long has this been uh like four four five something like that I guess it is
Tac Hardware yeah but like that's an ET turn in Tech yeah yeah I still hate the
name but I see where you're coming from so 4K display with an LED backlight as
if they were going to what else would they be backlighting it with um it's a
touchcreen nuclear power yeah it's like
yo we're going to put we're going to put ccfl backlighting into a laptop for the
first time in the last five years you have to swap
him we we wanted our laptop to be super thick and bulky and have an uneven
backlight so we we went ccfl no they're just TR make Fallout 4 more immersive we
wanted lots of heavy metals in our laptop so that you know you could rock
out to like heavy metal yeah um hell
yeah GTX 1080 with 9 gigs of GDDR
5x it's an unusual configuration core i7
6700 processor so that is a desktop
grade processor which is what very interesting
up to 32 gigs of dual Channel memory ddr4
and 512 1 terab or 2 terab of storage in
raid zero our videos are so clickbait now that I don't know how I'm going to
find this CU I don't know what it was called what are you looking for but um
the the event that I went to in London uh oh uh uh uh uh uh uh um mobile gpus
are dead clickbait um anyways well
it's true sure is yeah um like I don't I do
not think that was the spec that they said the 1080 was going to be so that's
something new well the 1080 is customizable I actually got a really
interesting email from uh Sasha conon I remember Sasha
from uh from his bit Phoenix days y but he saw my video of the um oh he's from
he's there now yeah he's at isus now he saw my review of the Sager dual 1080 SLI
laptop and he sent this memo out to me
uh as far as I know the total uh TDP for
the GPU is around 220 Watts for mobile
1080s I don't know if G saying that he said this oh cuz at the event that I was
at it was like they were not talking about tdps for things well basically oh
am I why do you tell me this then hold on a second may I ask what prompted this
message blah blah blah blah blah blah blah like I don't know but like PC per
and other people were like hey what are the tdps of things and they were like no
definitely not so I don't Oh thanks Ryan for the good
question at the at the meeting that was what we know is that the TDP for the
mobile GTX 1080 is configurable what I know and what you
don't know is that it is very
configurable depending on how much um
thermal dissipation The Notebook is designed for and how much power The
Notebook is designed to provide so
whatever the manufacturer sets it to the
GPU will try and get the most out of the power and thermal budget so what I will
definitely be doing with the Blade Pro is putting it head-to-head against a
thicker style laptop that has a GTX 1080
Mobile Edition in it I wonder if you can beat it out I can beat out anything like water
cooling we could try water cooling it yeah we should try to make the best dock
ever made for a razor blade Pro I'd be
kind of down when you dock it it like you water cool it we should just do like
the best laptop dock ever like I don't know exactly how we
would do it but like hm but if you just
like pelti the crap out of the bottom and made it like really cold pelti
cooling is a nightmare I know cuz it's more okay so a lot of people have asked
why I've never done a tech cooler video Tec cooler uh thermoelectric cooling P
ch um the reason is that most sorry um the
way that most people think Peltier cooling works is not really the way that
it works so there's more to it than just like you put a pelti on something and
like let's say a CPU and the CPU runs really cool so you actually have to
dissipate not only the heat produced by
the CPU but also the Heat produced on
the hot side of the pel it's pretty brutal so let's say you've got uh you
know 130 watt CPU something along those lines okay so you have to have a cooler
that can dissipate 130 watts of heat
then and this is where it gets really cumbersome you can't just put 130 Watt
pelti on it doesn't work that way you need something like double or possibly
triple the capacity if you want to see really low temperatures like if you want
to actually justify the fact that you using it if you use one that is
underpowered you will actually end up with the Peltier acting as an insulator
and you will end up with CPU temps that are
hotter than what you would have if you weren't using a pelier at all and you
will eventually burn out your Tech there's also condensation issues there's
condensation issues and there are power issues oh yeah so why are you trying to
Tech cool there's a question you have to ask yourself are you trying to Tech cool
because you want super low temperatures or because it's freaking sick and if
that's the case then go phase because
Tech cooling is can be can be cheaper
than phase but okay I I'll get to that
so Tech cooling can be cheaper than phase but it also has the potential to
fail catastrophically because your CPU will overheat very very quickly with a
pel that stops working on top of it and the configuration is complicated you'll
still need to insulate it's like kind of a pain in the butt and if you're
concerned and it's so it's less reliable than phase change remember phase change
is what runs your fridge like pH Chang is like appliances stuff like it's
pretty that's why it's loud it's pretty stable technology by this point in time
the other thing is that while phase change is loud Tech cooling because now
all of a sudden you have a 450 watt heat
load sitting on your CPU to Cool Tech cooling ends up pretty loud too the way
people used to do do it was by buying meanwell 320 W power supplies and then
if they had a really powerful Tech they would buy a couple of them those things are freaking loud they're like server
power supplies yeah nowadays we have power supplies that technically could
run a system and a tech but what we still don't have is power lines in your
system actually designed to carry that kind of current without overheating so
you would have to like custom wire up like an ax 1500i and even then I don't
think Corsair is going to sign off on putting stuff like that on their power
supply because it's an incredible load
and there's a reason that modern power supplies even if it's done virtually
have their rails divided so uh random
aside really quickly we'll get back to this uh when I was at twitchcon randomly
mostly for fun I guess uh I stopped by some Booth who luckily didn't know who I
was cuz I ran away afterwards um but they were selling CPU
coolers that were Tech coolers they CP coolers and then they
had six pin power that would go into the side of it and I saw that and was just
like what the heck yeah and a n Tech has
a review up I wonder how he did his
conclusion because when I was standing there not only do you have this weird
cable going into the top of the cooler which is the worst possible place for
that to be in terms of like aesthetic Cable Management stuff um but it didn't
seem like it did that well um they did a demo in person and I was like eh but
like I can't the an on tech review which we're
just going to like pull up on screen you guys can check it out it's actually a
pretty good read uh core
temperatures uh blah blah blah measured so this is with a 60 watt load so it's a
pretty low power CPU let's see do they here we go uh here we go so let's say
100 watt load and if you're overclocking that's not even so you can see it goes
from being the best performing to falling way way behind to be fair its
size compared to a D15 is that's a that's a big difference yeah it is a lot
smaller than a D15 so it is smaller but if you're if you're okay you're putting
if you're Tech cooling I'm assuming we're not talking 100 watt load we're talking 150 watt load at least and all
of a sudden it's like pretty close to the am it's closer to the AMD wraith
than it is to an auu N15 and like which is like a box cooler
I mean it's a good box cooler but it's a very good box cooler let's get real a
box Cooling and like you have to plug that six pin into the it's so Derpy I
don't know and the more you load a tech the worse it performs and the hotter
it's running the less efficiently it runs like there's a bunch of problems
with tech Cooling and there's a reason that it has never happened so there you
have it apparently the sound cutout right
after I said I can't so people were like
can't what you can't even oh Dead memes
um AMD announces their Q3 2016 Financial
results hey uh no no that's just their stock
price oh sorry no they lost hey that's also good though they lost a bunch of
money oh but they lost less maybe so 1.3 billion Revenue gross margin of 5% and a
net income ofus $46 million
oh so um they have more Revenue but as
far as I can tell they straight up just bought it
they could have literally bought like they did worse than buying
they could have bought money and then they'd be better off than if they hadn't
I'm pretty sure if they bought like American dollars and then just
transferred them into Canadian basically they sold $5 bills for
$3 no like $2 yeah oh for to make up the
difference between yeah um so so so there's
that oh man see oh I thought they're
doing better than that because they're selling lots of
gpus so I mean this your 400 series is good okay this is coming in a video very
soon I actually have a video that I'm calling the viewers Choice Award PC yeah
where I go through all of the Amazon sales data for this is really
interesting really cool video you should seriously all watch this yeah all of our
Amon Amon affiliate sales data and I pick all the most popular components
well I don't pick you guys pick based on what people are buying I sift through
and find all the most popular components for every category CPU motherboard case
and what's really cool about it is that I end up with a very all compatible yeah
I ended up with a fully compatible totally sensible gaming config yeah
that's like as good as anything I could have picked out good job
the bad news is that I it probably the
most generic thing ever no no it it pretty good it was pretty good fantex
saw 400s like a 6700k it's like pretty pretty ba fantex
400s is like okay fantex is kind of the
they're they're kind of rocking the case game right now they're like Corsair when
cases first started getting cool Corsair like kind of started all
this so I ran through just because I had all the numbers in front of I ran
through some some additional numbers I was just kind of curious in our viewer
base what's the what's the market share like NVIDIA versus AMD uh both in terms
of units sold and in terms of Revenue
and what I found was actually pretty terrifying I um I'm just going to see if
I can maybe I'll just bring it up right right now I'll bring up the actual numbers because I don't want to say
something wrong AMD 400 series cards are really good to be very clear we don't
we're not hating on the cards no like what not a thing it's it's been
frustrating like talking to friends and family and like random people outside of
just videos that we make for LT people be like oh man I need a 1080 but it's
really expensive and I'm
like why it's so
powerful you don't why and then I have to like fight
and talk them down to 1070 which is still
ridiculous h i I think the thing is like no no one wants to like be that guy with
a 400 series AMD card but then we just did testing on Battlefield 1 spoiler
alert holy crap the AMD cards did real
well yeah don't turn on
dx12 oh I'm pretty sure AMD it made no
difference and NVIDIA it was slightly
worse I think I don't know and don't go on Lower medium settings John figured
this out what the heck low and medium settings introduced like artifacting and
all this other bogus you'll have to watch the video to like see what's going
on but that was yeah that's coming soon weird um so video card market share last
month by units was 87.7% NVIDIA 12.3% AMD and by Revenue
this is where it gets really scary 95.1% NVIDIA 4.9% AMD now with that said
the stuff that people were buying in in general skewed towards the high end for
St things that people were buying on our affiliate code so bear that in mind but
what you guys also have to understand is much like we were talking about on the W
show two weeks ago where Samsung is saying is really confident that ssds can
overtake hard drives um in the economy
segment of the market because hard drives have a fixed cost you have to buy
platters you have to have Motors you have to have magnets whereas so so you
can only build a hard drive for like 40 bucks at the very cheapest no matter
what capacity it happens to be a video card has a fixed cost you have to have a
PCB you have to have some RAM even if
you have a lower amount of RAM you still have to have like RAM packages RAM dieses you have to have the connectors
you have to have theum licensing associated with an HDMI port like
there's all of this stuff you have to put some copper on it to cool it and a
fan and when your chip is bigger and more expensive that's right so when your
video card can only be sold for
like0 to $250 which is AMD's entire viable
product stack right now you incur the same overhead as someone whose product
stack goes all the way up to $700 so when NVIDIA sells a GTX 1080 the
cost of that fan that $3 fan is a much
lower proportion of the overall sale than it is for AMD where it's like you
know three % of the cost of the card
it's like it's significant now um so
when you look at AMD's Revenue numbers and you kind of go oh maybe they're
selling lots of gpus it's not as profitable yeah and that's a big problem
yeah
um oh I really hope Zen does well me
too
although I'm like selfishly not excited for it to come out cuz then for
everything everyone's going to want an entirely other set of
benchmarks cuz they're going to want the other platforms results no one cares
right now that everything's just tested on Intel and it's fine yeah but like
like I we just did Battlefield and I did
like or John sorry John John did uh
graphics card testing total system RAM testing vram testing uh like CPU core
testing now we're going to have to do CPU core testing other type of CPU core
testing other type of IPC test so like
figuring out which speed matters on different thing
oh press F pay
respects so many benchmarks Uber's ad
toing drones are heckling drivers stuck in traffic oh my God so the trans oh my
God like look at these things
so the translation is are you driving by yourself or something along those lines
let me just uh let me let me have a look Spanish to English says driving by
yourself this is why you can never see the volcanoes uh so it's a reference to
the smog that hovers over the city and obscures too nearby Peaks uh so it's an
ad for Uber pool as part of Uber's big push into markets across Latin America
wow Uber what a way to get drones banned in your area Uber does more business in
Mexico City than almost any other City
it operates in so I thought that was pretty interesting what a way one of those is
going to fall and it's going to bounce off a car and then smash a window and
then drones are going to be banned well it won't be able to get over the wall into America so
oh so he's kind of like imploded over the last little bit we don't even have
to make fun of him anymore SC yeah so
that's that's just as well that that that got too close for comfort I don't
know if it's I don't I don't want to talk about politics but I think we're I
think we're just screwed in that department whatever happened I'm not
happy with anything going on down there oh well yeah okay even the side game I'm
just like nope don't like any of it side game the like third party stuff whatever
oh the independent oh well the the other the non non two- party non two party
thing yeah I just the whole thing I don't know Samsung commences
mass production of system on chip with 10 nanometer fin fet Tech now the thing
to understand here what if these on would be bombs a nanometer is not
necessarily like a nanometer at tsmc is not necessarily A nanometer at Intel is
not necessarily A nanometer at Samsung uh the way that it's defined is not
quite as black and white as it used to be yeah um so for example one person's
14 nmet is not necessarily or could be
equivalent excuse me to someone else's 16 nmet uh finfet makes a big difference
with that said this is 10 NM fet but not everyone's finfet is created equal um
but here's the quote the industry's first mass production of 10 NM finfet
technology demonstrates our leadership in advanced process technology says the
Executive Vice President head of Foundry business at Samsung Electronics we will
continue our efforts to innovate scaling Technologies and provide differentiated
total solutions to our customers apparently allows up to a 30% increase
in area efficiency with 27% higher performance or 47 or excuse me 40 %
lower power consumption so expect faster
phones with less power consumption in a phone near you sometime pretty soon
that's good speaking of phone near you pretty excited to finally try the pixel
yeah should arrive pretty soon I'm actually and the more I hear about it
actually the more excited I am so hopefully it works out maybe maybe
they'll have figured out how to make it so that when you go into the battery
usage thing in Android oh no it's it's not just full of it's not just full of
40% Android system that you don't know what's actually using the power by the
way I did get your email do you think they figured that out about the laptop do you think they figured that out yet
no no no you don't think so oh no all right I did get your email about the
laptop's next door which like the W show is very well versed on at this point and
no one else has any idea what's going on yeah the the browser Wars yeah uh I am
still I've got some more information okay I hear did you hear my whole like
I'm leaving Windows 10 thing uh yes I
think so so there's so many like background processes and all this that runs that I'm just kind of
done with Windows 10 so I was
like this has to be why that's going on
and it is I was right there are random
bull crap things that are happening during the tests it just so happens that
two of them seem to have pattern at the same time and two of the other ones seem
to pattern at the same time as well because I did some follow-ups and they
don't always like the two that did better on
that one test yeah sometimes don't
sometimes they will do worse and they did better by like 2 hours and sometimes
they will do worse by like an hour or something right so they're not better
laptops they just patterned better so I need to figure out every single
individual tiny thing to turn off and there are a lot of
them wow Windows 10 oh my God there's a
huge amount of automated things in the
background like oh it's not just my stream like it's a thing and it's
crippling people like and i' I've done some more research on it like like
pretty low-end computers that you're like remember back in the day like oh you're a Windows 7 computer you couldn't
have done Vista but SE or uh XP computer you couldn't have done Vista but 7's
probably fine throw it on it's fine no 10 is not that way 10 is more Vista
where like you need the horsepower right and if you have it it will do cool
things and it will automate everything and everything in the back end is all nice and clean and tidy and stuff if you
don't have the power it's not very nice to you and if you're like using a lot of
your computer it does not care it will do whatever it wants completely
irregardless of what you're doing which is frustrating but anyways it's coming
along all right so Microsoft research
demonstrates an actuator that allows feeling virtual objects in 3D
space so it's a me it's a mechanically
actuated handheld controller that renders the shape of virtual objects
through physical shape displacement enabling users to feel 3D surfaces
textures and forces that match the visual
rendering um so they've published the results of their investigation in the
proceedings of the 29th annual Symposium on user interface software and
technology and they demonstrated two such controllers normal touch and
texture touch it's tracked in 3D to produce spatially registered haptic
feedback now we just need incredibly
powerful magnets because I I think so far that's the only
way that I've uh been able to figure out how they're going to do weight
right cool yeah the PS4 Pro is basically two PS4
chips using one of them for old games and both for the pro enhancements so the
original article here is from Games Radar and um so I G SLI is back except
sorry Crossfire Crossfire cross sorry Crossfire Crossfire Crossfire except
also there's two CPUs so like Athlon MP
is back hey FX FX platform is back what what was
it quad FX 4x4 4x4 is
back um sorry I'm dying so I guess there's
not really much else to say about that I'm trying not you uh games that support
the new console will have a base and a pro mode depending on the hardware they're played on the ability to switch
between the two comes from actually doubling the existing Hardware wait so
are you going to have to select that so we doubled the GPU size by essentially
placing it next to a mirrored version of itself giving us an extremely clean way
to support the existing 700 PS4 titles we just turn off half the GPU and run it
at something quite close to the original GPU
oh okay so you double the GPU power while running the CPU at the same rate
to ensure compatibility with older games okay
okay um psvr is doing really well we
just skimmed over an article that was talking about that it's selling yeah
50,000 units in Japan in the first week although Japan sales of a Nintendo or
Sony or Playstation yeah thing are not always like IND of i' I've heard that
it's doing pretty well in North America and one of the reasons why ours was delayed is because it was sold
out okay fair enough like it's
yeah all right well I think that's it for the W show thank you very much for
tuning in this week we will see you again next week same bat Time same bat
Channel yeah and I'm going to run the intro but it's the outro now yeah we
should really like do like a a thing where we pick up the couch and walk away
with it or something didn't I say that oh you mean animated thousand years ago
probably never no I me
protect your package protect your package with silver fibers in your uh
