okay you may not be able to tell this
but we have actually moved since last week not much well is it Improvement it
was enough that no it's not an improvement it was you might not know
this but things got worse welcome to the L show we're only half an hour late what
is this music and his laptop has Audio Oh shut up all right good we've got cool
topics yeah we've got great topics today so at least there's that and the reason
we're late is actually filming something
the coolest video that I have ever made
wow do you think I'm overselling it do you think really there was a bug
okay what if I okay do you think I'm overselling this
video maybe not I think there's really good contenders but this is pretty
badass so so guys it's a build log but
it's going to be a build log where the part where I physically build the
computer is literally like 30 seconds to
a minute and like the least important part yeah it's the single least
interesting part of the build log it's like over there it actually legitimately
isn't working now but there's a good reason for that and uh people are like
the L show logo is too big you know what we have you're too big there's no such
thing as too big technically
um you could train up to we have had way
worse issues than like the wano logos a
little bit big way worse way worse Beyond way worse please fix the left
hand logo uh you know what tell you what
that'll be what we tackle next week instead of completely moving the entire
set to make room to make the coolest video that I have ever done I will
change the location of the wow logo in the meantime though we've got a bunch of
great topics for you guys today uh Microsoft announced a whack ton of
Hardware including the Lumia 950 and 950 EXL the Surface Pro 4 the Surface Book
I've actually got a Surface Pro 4 I will be unboxing it live later on the show so
we'll be getting our first impressions of it um what else we got you can hack
smartphones with just a text message um
thank you Edward Snowden for telling us these things yeah basically um the
people site that we smashed on that week and honestly I thought of a ton of
reasons why it was even worse later on after the show um has apparently kind of
disappeared but the Creator still moving ahead with the release uh Dell's got a
bunch of interesting stuff that they actually there's just like a ton of
stuff this week uh ARS Technica has their Android marshmallow review up so
we'll be talking about that a little bit so stay tuned and there's a sale on the
line is Tech tips district line store all remaining inventory is 50% off
mostly small and 2x and 3XL shirts are remaining lanyards are still there for
only $ 3.99 oh okay weren't we supposed to do
that later I don't know we can also do it
later
look up are you really selfing during the W show you're taking a blurry selfie
you managed to close your eyes okay okay
no no no no no no no no no they're open
it's not even that bad you're just not Smiley you're like what your selfie cam
is not very good on that phone wow
that's that's actually kind of surprising you know what has a great selfie cam the new galaxies oh really
yeah the S6 and the Note 5 they have Wicked selfie cams it's actually kind of
amazing okay cuz I was going to say that would be a whole other level of fail
managing to Blink when you're the one controlling the
shutter like it's I've probably done it just to be fair it's one thing to be
like someone else is taking a picture and you're like right when they take the picture
that's that's still kind of fail a little bit it's a little bit fail but to
do it to do it to yourself is pretty bad oh you know what else arrived today I
got my rose gold iPhone 6s oh damn also
known as pink iPhone 6s because calling
it rose gold is the most pretentious nonsense thing ever is it actually does
it have a golden tinge or is it just super pink well okay do you have it we
got to be careful of bumping the mic sorry about the mic
bumps like it has a rose gold look to it in
the same sense that the gold iPhone is
not a yellow iPhone which it like that
it doesn't look gold it looks like kind of you know orangey yellowy kind of
goldish so it looks rose gold in the same sense that something it's behind
the they can't see that all something rose gold would look kind of pink so
well you guys can't see this at all so whatever you'll see the roll of it in
the uh in the in the review that I do later on which I had that there for a
reason I know but you can't you can't
see it because it's behind we'll deal with that L later uh okay so let's go
ahead and why don't we just kick things off with our first topic here today sure
we'll actually start the show immediately for a change so the 10 most
important things from the Microsoft Event this was posted by Matt Woodson on
the Forum I'm going to go ahead and pull up the original article here from RS
Technica you want to go ahead and throw that Forum Link in there oh I thought
you're doing the Forum Link in the chat right okay don't we usually do that no
oh well okay then I
can handson the surface for pro four is
a design that's settled down REI refines
almost everything but keeps the basic looking feel of the pro three excellent
very nice okay so let's go through what all happened at the event there there
goes it train so they announced the Lumia 9950 this is a wind the Windows 10
mobile Flagship it's got a Snapdragon 808 processor which seems to be what the
smart smartphone makers are using these
days uh we actually have a video up on vessel where I took um a snapd two
Snapdragon 810 based phones a Snapdragon 808 based phone an apple A9 based phone
and an exos 7420 based phone and liquid
cooled them all to find out how much they throttle and how much they're
capable of if they don't thermal throttle and both of our 810 based
phones were just abominable like it was
terrible um tablet class liquid cooling
technology as if it needs that with an 808 but whatever it features USB type-c
huge thumbs up there I don't even care about about rapid Quick Charge features
compared to having a type-c connector okay compared to yeah I was going to say
they're pretty cool no no I do care yeah like I've I've actually found myself not
being bothered nearly as much by iPhone
battery this time around and I don't know maybe I got uh a tsmc chip versus a
Samsung chip which is supposed to get better battery or something
but uh and I haven't checked I haven't checked what CPU mine's using but I
found I'm actually doing really well like I had a 3 and 1 half hour call with
someone yesterday and in addition to using my phone like I normally do I've
got the Apple watch so I'm paired via Bluetooth all the time and I almost made
it to bedtime like it ran out like half an hour before I was going to go to bed
that's still so not okay though I know I but hold on but then you plug it in for
like 20 minutes and you've got a very significant charge yeah yeah like that
that like there's a fail or not fail for me and if you fail you just failed I
don't care if it was close you just still failed Droid Turbo 2 is rumored to
be coming in about a week so I have
already I have already started trying to
get my tentacles into either Motorola or
dbrand or someone I don't care heck I would even talk to Verizon if it was
it's going to be a Verizon exclusive again is is the rumor um but man I am
super stroked on that it looks like the battery capacity maybe a touch lower
than last time actually but I mean
assuming they get a bunch of other optimizations right it could still
deliver just exceptional time on anyway back to the Lumia 950 sorry I got
distracted by phones that matter oh dang actually Windows 10
mobile has some pretty cool looking stuff so uh yeah USB type-c 32 gigs of
storage with a Micro SD slot and launching in November for 5.49 there
will also be an EXL version uh featuring the Snapdragon 810 processor hopefully
the chassis is big enough to dissipate the heat um with
blah blah blah what else changes not a whole lot 5.7 in screen so there are
some other devices there's alumia 550 so this replaces the 640 and 640
XL um the surface dock so it's a display
to it's a display dock so this will allow you to turn your phones into a PC
like experience this is some cool stuff now to be clear because these Snapdragon
processors are ARM based you're not going to be you know running freaking
split on it and you know game streaming off your phone you won't be running x86
applications but you will still be able to have a very Windows likee Experience
and for applications that do have armed versions like office for example you
will be able to use those this is something I was wondering about I was
actually going to pitch this to you as a lpes video again I've done this before
it's probably a terrible idea let's pitch it to you on stream we'll see what you think um I was thinking about like
OTG Extravaganza where we take a phone and
try to be like could you manage to like go through school with just your phone
so use an OTG cable and like Splitters and an inline power so you would want to
do it the ghetto way yeah so you try if
we get like a keyboard and a mouse maybe even see if we can get that portable
monitor running off of it off of like a like a massive battery bank or something
yeah well no cuz you're in class you could plug it into the
wall yeah I don't know back when I was in school there was a severe shortage of
plugs like I went to class with a power bar okay fair enough everyone loved me
you could just tell someone else you want to make quick techie friends in
school bring a power bar I'm not even kidding that's all you need anyways
sorry but I thought it could be fun just like what is the extent you could go and
with like modern pretty fast phones that you could have word processors on yeah
is it enough to just like take notes with the keyboard and mouse Microsoft
wants to be doable out of the box but then you'd have to use a Windows phone
yeah and like how much does that thing cost so you have to have a Windows phone
and you have to buy this thing my idea is like hopefully you just have to kind
of buy the adapters you already have a keyboard and mouse the doc is pretty cool though so it plugs in with the
type-c connector and provides ports for HDMI DisplayPort and three full-size
USB ports so you really could have like a very desktop like experience plugging
into this bad boy um other things so the Surface Pro 4 maybe now's a good time to
do the live unboxing
hopefully it doesn't just fall out my box is very plain I actually got this
from the uh the the Vancouver Microsoft folks they dropped it off today the
timing is terrible because I ordered one last night thinking that I was just
going to have to buy one in order to get one and so you just cancel it yeah yeah
no I still can cuz it's it's just a pre-order so I will cancel my order
there you go it's the Surface Pro 3 the pen is sort of magneet stuck to it right
now I'm actually legitimately not if that's supposed to go there no that's
for the uh the uh the type cover so
we'll go ahead typ cover is that the typ cover I do have a type cover yes I
actually I asked them that too cuz I was legitimately not even going to bother
taking the device from them if they didn't have a type cover for it cuz I
was just like yeah realistically I can't review a surface device without the type
cover anyway so I might as well just wait people are saying three or four or
three did I say three sorry no this is a Surface Pro 4 yeah okay so it's a four
there we go that snaps on a little something like that it's got a kickstand
a little something like that it still closes something like that it's got a
couple different like angles and junk so you can do things with
it I sort of think I agree so far with
uh RS Technica evaluation it not having a Surface Pro 3
in front of me you could just tell me this is a Surface Pro 3 and I would
literally never know the difference at all so you've got your mini DisplayPort
here you got a regular USB connector um
over on the other side you got your headphone jack you got your webcam you
got your micro SD slot yeah pretty much looks like the same damn thing I've got
the 128 mod show the screen disconnect joint the screen disconnect not the
same as the old one uh this isn't the
Surface Book yeah this is not the Surface Book this is the Surface Pro 4
so this is still just the tablet that I
turned off when I went to turn it around and show you guys the screen which
whatever let's just get through the specs there will be a review coming I do
also have an order in for the top tier Surface Book and I will be reviewing
that as well so the Surface Pro 4 12.3
in display with reduced bezels so a bigger screen without actually
increasing the device size up to a terab of SSD storage up to 16 gigs of RAM
thank you both the Surface Book and the
Surface Pro 4 are available with up to 16 gigs of RAM thank you given how much
memory a freaking web browser can use these days and don't tell me it's
chromes it's all chrome problem all right they're all guilty of it um 16
gigs of round is a must if you are
multitasking it features a six gen int Core I5 or i7 I think there's an I3
model actually skyl processor and they're claiming it is 50% faster than a
MacBook Air and 30% faster than a Surface Pro 3 but it's battery is its
battery life as good as MacBook Air yeah that is a Ser damn that was impressive
that is a serious thing to overcome about the MacBook Air if you're going to
try and compete with that puppy yeah uh it's got a fingerprint scanner a hybrid
cooling system Gorilla Glass 4 and you can call Cortana by holding down the
button on the surface pen the type cover is also the thinnest ever it actually
that may be noticeable uh it's been a while since I've played with one though
and has a 40% larger trackpad that is a
noticeable improvement with 5point multi-touch
support and the surface book is the first ever twoin one laptop built by
Microsoft this really looks like a game changer like I'm somewhat interested in
the Surface Pro 4 as you guys know I wasn't a huge fan of the Surface Pro 3
and this looks like very much an iterative
Improvement Surface Book on the other hand though that could be a game changer
I think that's what people in chat were kind of looking for and I understand
that too yeah 13 1 12 in display 267
pixels per inch that is one high resolution screen uh pixel sense for
touch sixth generation Skylake processor latest generation NVIDIA GeForce GPU
they're being very koi I hate that about the graphics processor in it um
apparently 620 Microsoft worked with its
Xbox team to tunee in graphics performance okay it's advertised at 12
hours of battery life per charge and has a dynamic fulcrum hinge that can accept
the screen in either direction so you can have it turned this way for like a
laptop or you can turn it around and use it as a tablet and it starts at
$1,500 with the highest end model at $26.99 with the unnamed Invidia
GPU I am super stoked on this one really
excited to see if it throttles because it looks like a really Slim like very
beautiful device but maybe thick enough that they actually managed to cool the
bloody thing unlike the 2015 retina MacBook yeah um which we got literally
double the performance out of when we water cooled it
so yeah I don't know I don't really know
what else to uh to say about that other than that I think that's about it until
we see it yeah I'm like super stoked it's I've pre-ordered the core i7 model
so yeah Facebook has a new Universal
Windows 10 app that's honestly basically all I have to really say there um yeah
it'll work on all your Windows 10 platforms and everyone just uses Windows 10
computers so yeah but if you get like a
tablet or a phone it'll work on there too it's just so boring yeah uh the
Microsoft band is being positioned as the ultimate fitness device everyone
wants to sell you a freaking wearable based on Fitness how many people
actually work out think about how much uh money you make out of
that and honestly so many of them are useless I know if they don't have a
heart rate monitor then don't buy it as a fitness device
because there's a huge amount of stuff that can count your steps like you can
get like a couple dollar things that you just reset every day that can count your
steps and you don't have to spend like hundreds of dollars on this crap I don't
know you know what Austin was saying this and I think it's pure I
mean I think he believes it but like for me it doesn't work at all but he was
saying one of the things he loves about the Apple watch is the little Fitness
tracking bars like the step tracking and standing bars that are like hey you've
only done like 40% of enough for today and every time he looks at it a reminder
you can get free apps on your phone but you don't stare at your phone every time
you want to know the time well okay you do but okay just just just calm down for
a second okay you're less likely to see
something else cuz like I don't know about you but droid turbo I straight up
do not even have to unlock it to see the time I will legitimately not see
anything I really like that about Motorola stuff yeah it's really cool if
if the Droid Turbo 2 doesn't have the proximity sensor and like wave to
preview my notifications crap I straight
up not interested in it that was my favorite thing about that is a killer
also why isn't everyone doing this
Jester for flashlight I don't even have to like why isn't everybody doing this
that's really cool there's a few little things about that film that I love um so
anyway here let's do my straw pole results here lonus is Queen do you even
work out bro we've got 32% of you saying
yes with 42% of you saying no and 27% of
you uh weighing in with uh with turnip throw away your vote votes I mean this
is one of those things it's like you're trying to sell wearables
to like I mean I guess maybe that's it they're not they're not trying to sell
them to Geeks no not not specifically
yeah because like there's a lot of people that buy does anyone else give a
crap wearables that aren't Geeks yeah okay yeah like I have friends of mine
that aren't Geeks that want to get a fitness wearable would they buy a Microsoft band it's Microsoft so
probably not but Microsoft is probably trying to get there so it's got an OLED
screen a curved gorilla glass display apparently there are lots of thirdparty
Partners like subway Starbucks Twitter and Uber huh good luck with that um to
Subway and run back home it can track elevation with the built-in barometer
and it's coming for $249 on October 30th
and Uber I understand it's like so you can call a cab but like uber like run
for a little bit and then Uber for the rest of your run and then run back home
it's like for Halloween I'm going to go as a Microsoft
Fanboy with my Microsoft B and oh my God
we have to do something for what what
when does Halloween happen on the 31st oh my good no Saturday I was wondering
what day oh so so we have to the 30th
the day before yeah is wano oh we have to do something oh I don't know what to
do I'm just so tired lately just tell someone else to figure it out yeah I
guess that is the point of hiring people yeah Colton Colton so this is kind of
huge huge price tag that is so
sad I wanted one so bad and now there's
no way I'm going to get one hollow lens Dev kits $3,000 I don't even have to
look at the doc to know that it's
just so expensive the kits will apparently be
fully untethered so no cables or connection to a PC is required so you
could trade in your PC no towards buying
that Hollow lens dev kit it wouldn't even I don't even think it would cover
it no it wouldn't and perspective augmented reality devs can put in an
application now so the dev kit is coming q1 of 2016 we were actually just
commenting the other day that the whole Hollow lens thing has been extremely
quiet lately just completely shut up about it and then now they're talking
about it and I want them to shut up again yeah go away figure out a way to
make it cheaper go away find some way to make it cheaper
apparently Colon's going to figure out Halloween stuff for us okay good all
right so that's pretty much it for the uh for the the Microsoft I wish I wish
we had more to say about Hollow lens so
this article is from gatech.edu
edu oh like yeah this is the Georgia Tech site yeah okay so liquid cooling
moves onto the chip for denser
Electronics this is looking like some pretty freaking cool stuff so micro
fluidic passages cut directly into the
backsides of production field programmable gate array devices so fpga
devices could allow better density of
transistors and therefore better uh device Trend uh excuse me uh better
device performance per size which could lower costs although we would need to
know how much um we' need to know how
much this costs to implement and could improve performance as well so if we're
not looking at low cost devices then just packing everything in denser could
improve performance as well to make this they etched cooling passages into the
Silicon incorporating silicon cylinders proximately 100 microns in diameter to
improve heat transmission jeez so the information presented on
September 28th at the i e conference in San Jose California and like all the
like wow that's crazy bananas technology stuff that we talk about we could be
looking at years before any of this ever
gets implemented if any of it ever gets implemented when things are presented at
you see them in a while yeah um
apparently with water inlet temperature at of approximately 20° C and an inlet
flow rate of 147 you got to stop putting
the thing over what I'm reading now sorry sorry sorry I'm trying to I'm I'm reading along and I'm trying to be an
active listener 147 millimet per millit per
minute the liquid cooled fpga operated at less than 24 de C which is pretty
crazy actually that is so cool they don't talk about what that fpga was
doing or what is actually disting the heat yeah um so like I I I don't know
you know like would your motherboard have the liquid cooling
radiator for the CPU like at the back and then like in
maybe so yeah yeah we'll cross that bridge
when we get to it yeah I mean and and like to be clear fpga is not a like an
Intel CPU that totally different class of device that's why I took back my
soldered in comment yeah all right
smartphones can be hacked into with just one text message and then used to spy on
the owners this is according to Edward
Snowden the famous whistleblower for the
whole NSA shenanigan thing that's been
going on for God it's been over a year now hasn't it
jeez all right so you about his Twitter account sorry he made a Twitter account
which was immediately official so this was obviously planned which was probably
smart I'm one thing I was wondering about is does he have a login method
just for him does he have a special way to log into Twitter I kind of bet you he
does and I bet you his login is monitored like all the time anyways um
he had like a huge amount of followers already he's he's following one thing
and it's the NSA hilarious anyways so
yeah apparently they can be hacked into with just one text message then used to spy on their owners as he said um the
government Communications Headquarters GC HQ has a set of tools called the
Smurf Suite there's is kind of hilarious
there's three of them first one is dreamy Smurf lets the phone be powered
on and off nosy Smurf which lets spies turn the microphone on and listen in
even if the is off and paranoid Smurf which hides the fact that the phone has
been taken over apparently Snowden says that the NSA has spent one billion
dollars on similar tools that's where your taxpayer money is going if you're
American or UK appreciate that yeah wo
let's have a let's have a tax party I think that's what it's called in
the whatever eyes thing probably our tax
money too oh I know I was just being I was I was just being smug about being
Canadian there's nothing to really be smug about it about our tax sell
probably that as well with respect to this anyway um Australian researchers
make a Quantum Computing breakthrough
this is from smh.com.au are you posting the link yeah
I got it okay Paving the way for world
first chip oo Quantum it could be a real thing
now okay again to be clear even if a quantum chip existed you wouldn't be
installing it in your home computer for a very very very long time I thought it
might be super good once we're able to do that due to like encryption and all
this other kind of stuff but um now so basically until now this
technology has relied on exotic materials to construct quantum computers
making them completely unsuitable for commercial production like we're talking
like we have to have it at like this like hugely Subzero temperature and like
maintain it like exactly there and then like it'll do something for a bit and
yeah proof of concept um but they have
apparently patented a way to scale their technology to millions of cubits so
that's like Quantum bits uh using standard industrial manufacturing
techniques to build the world's first Quantum processor chip so basically
their patented design modifies the transistors found in regular computer
chips to store zero or one on the spin
of a single electron which works like a tiny compass needle so it builds on
previous research that produced the first Quantum Computing transistor of
this type interesting so they've demonstrated the first time that we can
do the first Quantum calculation on a silicon chip working with two of these
Quantum bits so stay tuned I guess and
to be clear Quantum Computing is not going to be like the be all and end all
of oh now we can do like way better 3D graphics for for gaming uh but it's
great for things like Luke was saying like encryption for example way faster
for that this is kind of and like the idea is if you mess with the data it
will change the data so if you try to read it and you're the wrong person I
believe it will actually change what the data is so if someone tries to break
into your encrypted whatever it won't matter it will suck because if you try
to read it later on it'll be changed but it's kind of like the idea of like
having your phone wipe itself if it gets read too many times like that's actually
a good thing I had to turn that feature off cuz I have children yes yes I've had
someone like grab my phone and they just be like and fail a whole bunch of logins
I'm like no stop please what are you
doing so to to get some idea of of why
that is I mean look at CPUs and gpus how they are much better for um hold on a
second how they're much better for specific workloads than each other not
because like one is just better and the other is worse but because they're
optimized for different workloads so I'm going to go ahead and fire up this
article from BBC and Luc is going to handle this people topic okay didn't see
that coming and yes I know that's not exactly
how Quantum encryption Works give me a break it's actually not
a bad representation you can go look it up uh if you want to know more about
Quantum anything you should probably look more deeply into it than like a
couple second description on a w um people sites disappear Creator is
still moving ahead with release that is what he opened right yes so the people
website is inaccessible for many some just getting a landing page social
Outlets such as people's Twitter and people's Facebook pages have been taken
down but co-creator Julia cordre is
still planning to release the app pushing its release date from November
to next week probably just because how much people have been talking about it
you got to jump on that hype train as much as you can adjustments to the app
include individuals individuals cannot be reviewed without their permission
which is probably a good idea um no way to make a negative review at all
apparently and review must be approved before it is posted so basically it's
just going to be a circle jerk of everyone telling each other that they're great because nothing else is going to
get approved um unless people want to be self-deprecating about it Emily laad law
a University Calgary assistant law professor says the app could potentially
have huge legal ramifications for its creators which is super not surprising
she also states that in Canada if you run an app or you're hosting a website
and you are informed that you're carrying content that is
defamatory um you have you now have
knowledge and you have control so you risk liability if you don't take the
content
down that being said they probably won't
run or host it in Canada so that probably doesn't matter
but they could there is actually one
good hosting company in Canada that I know of maybe a few more than that
um so who knows I don't know I can't really open another topic so let me
try give me one second what we're going to talk about as lonus comes
back um can you open that topic it's
hard like around the which one Japan Japan one oh that is so
cool yeah I'm like super stoked on this so Japan display 8K 17in l CD
bam why are you super stoked on that I don't know it's cool can you tell the
difference between a 4K screen at that
size
um maybe yeah yeah probably 4K and
ak8 well okay uh to be fair I heard you
talking and didn't read it and heard 7 in and was like why does he care 1 in
makes a little bit more sense yes yeah yeah 17 in I mean to to be clear okay
okay like that okay like
it okay it's just cool because it's like nerdy cool yeah it's cool because it's
510 PPI on a 17inch screen yeah bad this
isn't groundbreaking pixels per inch even like Sony's upcoming Xperia Z5 is
going to be like 700 but that's not 17 in but it's not 17 in and it's a mere 4K
display so it's actually one qu as many pixels as they've managed to build here
I got to wonder how much does it cost them to build this thing this is cool
though um so the module can actually run
at a refresh rate of 120 htz I don't know what they're using to
drive this thing because there's no display there's no off-the-shelf display
interface in existence that can drive 8K
at 60 HZ let alone 120 HZ that and I'm
talking I obviously there's other stuff that exists but I'm talking like you
know your HDMI or your DisplayPort or
Heaven forbit DVI or whatever else the case may be um so I have no idea what
they're using to drive this thing in fact I've been tempted at CES sometimes
to be like okay so that's an 8K TV
you're playing back some 8K content can I can I see what's behind here like what
is plugged into this how are you running
this like it must just be like a proprietary Flash bed like direct to the
display interface or something like could you build it as memory into the
display maybe maybe like you like if you
actually used RAM like if you just had like flash based storage that loaded it
into RAM that interfaced directly with the display like I have no idea how
they're like 8 8K okay so hold on 8K
resolution let's find out what that is so that's
7680 by 4320 Okay so
calculator what what what why are these things happening to
me calculator okay so
76 80 RCA times no I know a bunch of people
are saying that in chat no I can't like no many people are saying that why would
that work so this is 33 mega pixels like
think think about it if you're if you're like a DSLR photographer so you take
high resolution photos even then you're not taking 33 megapixel photos how long
it takes just to like open one of them
on your computer so we're talking 120 of
those per second freaking
bananas um sometimes I don't really
understand is this a Colton thing like how that gets classified as a main topic
and like other stuff gets classified as
like a rapid fire topic I don't know I often do not really understand the logic
because there's nothing to really say other than like that looks bananas I
guess I'll enjoy it in about four or five years still saying RCA the twitch
chat is great also I can't believe that you
didn't think of having 60 different VGA connections
together what why not yeah that's probably it all right so the Dell XPS
lineup has been refreshed oh we haven't been saying who's been posting stuff on
the Forum so this is from Sir squid the Japan display one is from Good Bites The
People site disappearing is from stuarty 211 the Australian researchers with the
quantum computer thing is kill comic smartphones being hacked into with just
one text message comes from Cyborg warriar and liquid cooling moving on to
the chip is from numpad all right so I am sort of stoked
on certain things and super stoked on others so the things I mostly don't give
a crap about are the XPS 13 refresh and
XPS 15
so about those I guess they have slim bezels which is cool that is cool it's
cool but the the old XPS 13 that they announced at CES this year had really
Slim bezels I reviewed it it was nice the old one that they announced at CES
this year well whatever I mean the slightly less the slightly less new one
Whatever whatever you want to call it so the 13 and 15 are getting updated
processors and packing more storage into their thin frames finally they're
available 16 gigs of RAM definitely care
about that I ripped on the universal thing I ripped on the 13 so hard for
only going up to 8 gigs of RAM considering how much money was getting
spent on that computer there's an optional NVIDIA gddr5
GPU that can be added to the notebook so they're being koi again so NVIDIA
basically is like yeah you can
uh you can announce it but uh don't tell
people what it is or whatever I'm trying to do like a
it was supposed to be a cigar I think that came off as weed yeah whatever well
I I screwed up the handan thing yeah I made an effort um it's cigar
like maybe like or what did you cigar
but that's both yeah that's kind yeah I don't know you got to like make sure it's big yeah maybe I didn't make sure
it was big enough I mean that could just be like a really
big that's true I mean that when when
the Blunt's too strong yeah that would be totally totally totally big but then
like you were saying earlier in the show it can never be too big around
circumference diameter these are good things um so I can have up to one
terabyte of PCI Express based storage
and I don't know they still have webcams on the bottom of the screen which is kind of a bummer if you have like kind
of an upturned nose and you don't want people looking at your brain while they
talk to you um okay but the XPS 12 this
is the one I care about because I used an XPS 12 for man it must have been like
over a year I was using that as my da driver in fact Luke's inherited it now
great little device it's been durable it's been rained on it's survived it's
got a great keyboard love that device so it is finally getting an upgrade um 12 1
12 inch full HD display with an upgrade to a 4K touchscreen two Thunderbolt 3
ports using USB type-c connectors has support for the Dell pen if you care and
uh dell is positioning it as a competitor to the Surface Pro 4 I am
super excited because I like the concept
of um a convertible that doesn't have a
kickstand versus a convertible that does have a kickstand quite a bit
more let's see if I can if I can pull up some pictures here new xps2 here we go
so it remains to be seen for me if this hinge design is going to light as many
fires for me as the uh the old pin wheel
design did we can actually we can show that here here so check it out so this
is the way the old XP well we broke it a bit when we dropped it broke it a little
bit but it it usually like that was that was a pretty good just it it popping out
doesn't work as well as it used to yeah it going back in is so you turn it
around flip it into a tablet this one is using a bit of a different approach here
but um yeah so it's like actually
disconnecting and reconnecting but I still like that better than I like the
whole kickstand thing because the kickstand is so inflexible like if
you're not sitting on a table it's kind
of inconvenient like even sitting on an airplane very inconvenient I hate
kickstands which which is like if I was going to pitch you know who is the
Surface Pro designed for I would go okay you know maybe the traveler but the the
airline trays are so slim that you can't actually put your keyboard in the
kickstand on the back of it the good news is that I did discover that you can
kind of lean it against the seat in front of you but it's definitely not as
secure I wouldn't trust it as much um
this is huge original article here from The Verge posted by run on the
Forum Volvo yeah says it will take the
blame if one of its self-driving cars crashes so does this mean you wouldn't
have to have insurance no I think you
would still need insurance but I think your insurance company would go to
Volvo for the claim so there it'll
likely be like a convoluted process I'd imagine there's all kinds of legal
ramifications here like from one country to another this might be implemented
somewhat differently um but basically up
until now no one's been willing to step up and say okay if an automated car
running in autonomous mode by the way if you crash it they're not taking
responsibility for it right so you'd have to have insurance because there's manual mode yes so running in autonomous
mode no one has really stepped up and said okay yes we will take
responsibility for this you know whether it's your your Google or or your car
manufacturer your insurance company or I mean the
owner as as sort of a driver I would
kind of go oh shoot you know like I
don't if I make though I'm probably not as good as a self-driving car I would
rather take responsibility for my own actions instead of the possibility of
taking responsibility for one others yes thank you that was very succinct yeah so
and it's frustrating and that's a huge problem with self-driving cars in general so it's cool that these guys are
actually standing up um I would like to see everyone else uh everyone else
that's making self-driving cars do the same thing although proving that it was
properly in self-driving mode could
prove to be difficult good job with it that's cool they want hacking a car um
turned into a criminal offense I don't think they'll have a problem doing that
but they also need to properly defend their own cars yes uh we saw this
problem with Jeep and all that kind of stuff the only ones doing it properly right now are Tesla if everyone takes
the same stance as Tesla I'd be okay with that but if people just leave giant
holes in the security of their vehicles and they go like well it's illegal it's
illegal you probably shouldn't do it then that's still not okay
yeah I think that's about it yeah I think that's about it for that why don't
we do sponsors yes so we've actually got a couple sponsors today one is
squarespace.com the place to go to build it beautiful thank you Luke uh
so basically Squarespace allows you to use one of their many very flexible
templates and beautiful and thank you and beautiful templates to create your
blog or your uh your store or your your
portfolio or whatever the case may be and then or show off your beauty thank
you they handle the that could be a blog or a portfolio it could both my
portfolio would show off my beauty it would yes it would it probably does it
probably does uh so basically they handle the hosting if you sign up for a
year they include a domain and they've got 247 tech support via live chat and
email you unfortunately probably can't get beautiful.com that domain is
probably taken yeah why are you even here why are you
even here why are you even here that's the beauty of the whole question all
right so visit squarespace.com and use offer code Linus to save 10% today and
start creating your beautiful website thank you our next sponsor fresh books
you know what I don't remember if it was you I was talking to about this but I
finally clued in to why fresh book sponsors us cuz I was like who in our
audience is like wow I need accounting software because I run a small business
was it you no but I I would counter argue potentially a lot of them well
yeah cuz maybe it was Nick because he was like how many people in your
audience do you think are running a smalltime computer repair business yeah
and I was like oh yeah I feel like we've talked about this on the W show oh maybe
we have well whatever the last time there was a sponsor I was like tons of
you would be interested in this because Small Time computer repair or computer
building or it work or or or or so the
point is freshbooks is a cloud-based accounting software that allows you to
track your jobs track your hours uh
submit bills to your customers and have them pay you uh via credit card you can
actually even see once they've opened the bill which is great to know so that
is actually really cool it really is it takes away excuses and lets you focus on
actually doing the repair work or or Plumbing or whatever industry you happen
to be in that you want to be doing so you are earning money you can access it
from anywhere and you can try it out for free today at freshbooks.com
when and we have a new sponsor today
Logitech has us showing off I actually haven't done my review yet so you're the
only one sitting here who has actually used it but they've got us showing off
the g633 emis Spectrum headset it features
7.1 Dolby Surround Sound with Logitech gaming software 40mm prog audio drivers
it's compatible with the PC as well as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and it
has adjustable RGB lighting with custom tags one thing that I have to say is the
with Logitech gaming software with the Dolby Surround Sound thing what I do
actually like about that is that it has Dolby Surround Sound and DTS and you can
have either one of them on or you can have them off because I do know that
there's some people that wouldn't want that touching their sound yep so you can
just turn it off so that's a good thing but if you think it's a bad thing you
can just turn it off which makes it a good thing I just want to clarify that
good job yay uh there's a couple other things that I've already observed about
it I did get handson with it although I didn't get to listen to it unfortunately
at P um and it's that they actually just they took a common sense
approach which seems like the kind of thing that I shouldn't really have to
say is amazing it's not super common with gaming headsets though I know so
it's a point that is good to make but the ear cups are actually designed in
like the shape of a human ear as opposed to whatever types of ears are around
like perfect circles to be fair he he yeah he doesn't mean like they they
exactly follow the shape of human ear but like they're they're more vertical
yeah they're they're shaped in somewhat the shape of a human ear um so yeah I
actually I think this is not our wow
like showcase sample this is supposed to be my review sample so I'm supposed to
be working on a review so stay stay tuned for that but in the meantime if
you guys want to check it out there's a link that I posted in the chat I'm going
to go ahead and post it one more time and if you guys are watching the archive then the link is in the video
description to where you can check it out on
Amazon there's also like a how they made
it video where I have a very very short comment on the end about how I thought
they were oh yeah oh yeah that's right I I didn't want to comment on it in- depth
and I'll say basically the same thing here which was I I didn't have direct
comparative data to things that I use all the time and I didn't have the music
that I use all the time right so I can't like very accurately say exactly how
they sound but I was pleasantly surprised for a gaming headset and they
didn't if you put it on and didn't tell me it was a gaming headset which you can
hide the mic very well so you might have been able to convince me I wouldn't have
immediately thought it was a gaming headset which is like pretty good price
well I will be uh I will be pulling out all the headphones so so that's the
proper audio review you should so take that wait for yeah so this is
interesting this is actually it's funny this isn't rapid fire but this is the
first thing we've really talked about today that actually has some discussion
that we can do about it uh the video game voice actors give the national
board the green light to vote to strike if
needed so there you go the original article here is from Gamespot and this
was an overwhelmingly positive response to the vote here with
96.52% of members voting in favor of the
interactive media agreement strike authorization referendum they only needed 75% in order for this to get
authorized uh or for in order to give the national board that Authority and so
basically what they're coming to the negotiating table with is um let's see
so the original agreement was signed in the mid1 1990s and it's still in effect
today despite very significant industry changes like we're talking in the days
when a game Studio like oh I don't know blizzard would have been a small company
um to now Blockbuster games getting as
much or more if you look at stuff like Grand Theft Auto 5 spent on them
compared to a Blockbuster movie which are three was 80 million too the
industry is very very different today and the board is basically asking for a
couple of things so better transparency in the addition process for games and
they are asking for I think they're asking for some um when the parts that
they're that they're doing are particularly strenuous they're asking
for limits to how long they can work for uh at a time and they're asking for
better compensation including a performance bonus for every 2 million
copies SL subscribers sold of a game so
that's the part that I want to talk about because who who gets the performance
bonus when something does really well I
know that there have been cases where actors have negotiated such a thing but
it usually comes along with negoti
for a low salary to participate in the project bring that up that's that's
usually a per case thing usually only
the really big actors get it and it's
like I think probably I'd say that it's probably less common now due to people
seeing how ridiculously epic it was like didn't didn't um I'm going to forget his
name which is going to make me a terrible person but the actor that played Han Solo really Harrison Harrison
Ford didn't Harrison Ford get a like the
copy sold whatever agreement on Star Wars um wasn't that just insane hold on
I'm not sure I'm not sure I feel like someone did in that chat I feel like
someone did and I don't remember who it was someone in twitch chat is probably
already telling us well in between slaying me for forgetting his name yeah
people are like oh wow wow
no wow Luke is dead to me he forgot Ford
oh wow wow wow wow wow how does he not know her Luke lost all nerd cred you are
St remember the guy's name on the show I remember Han Solo but I remember
Harrison Ford Alec Guinness Alec Guinness it was Obi-Wan Kenobi there we
go he did that okay yeah there and then he made like huge amounts of money off
of it yeah yeah I'm not convinced he ever worked again uh and apparently
Spielberg also got a royalty cut from Lucas um so so anyway the point is if
the movie does really well that can be very disastrous for the folks that are
investing the actual money into the project I mean with that said it's not
like an investment of time isn't also an investment but it gets it gets looked at
a little bit differently when we're talking about the actual money that gets
paid out when the project gets super successful so companies tend to shy away
from agreements like that because it means that they can't really control
their costs after the fact so I don't
know do do you think it is fair for voice actors to ask for royalties based
on how many copies are sold I don't necessarily think that it's fair that
that is a guarantee in every single
contract right I think that it is fair for them to ask I think it is fair for
them to negotiate for right I don't know if as a company I would hire as many
voice actors and this is something I think they need to realize if I know
that every single voice actor that I hire is going to get a performance bonus
for every 2 million copies of the game that I sell and for games that try to
strive for having every single one of their characters having an individual
voice actor which is awesome that is
super cool when you're playing a game that everyone you talk to sounds different right I wouldn't want to pay
them each individual one of them out unless it's like 50 cents per which they
probably have some extra lines saying that it has to be a certain percentage or whatever so I don't know that makes
me a little bit uneasy um but I do think
the ability to request it should be there right and I mean quite frankly
that probably already exists I mean if you're freaking Samuel L Jackson or
something and you're like yep I'm going to want a performance bonus based on
what was it in Fallout 3 li niss I think like like there's there's pretty big
names that do these voice acting things and I'm sure they could pull for
leverage on that if they really wanted to I don't know if I agree with it being in every single contract having more
transparency super cool um possibly
getting compensated better you know what
I want really good voice actors if that helps really good voice actors be a
thing cool um yeah I had actually
speaking of really good voice actors it's funny um I saw some comments on the
um this was posted by booo on the Forum by the way and in the original thread I
saw some comments from people saying like oh why are they being such
all they do is like sit in front of their microphone and like voice act it's
easy it's not as easy as you'd think yeah it's
I tried doing there was do it there was skywind skywind is like a a whole bunch
of people are trying to develop for skywind and I decided that I would try to do voice acting because they were
looking for voice actors to do a whole bunch of different parts and I knew I
had like an okay mic it was the snowball wasn't great but like they said on the
thing that it was one of the approved mics and I was going to try to get like a ghetto pop filter for it and stuff and
I went through the list trying to pick like what could my voice work for in
here and I'm like wow
nothing oh wow wow and then like found something it would work for did like 80
takes of the one line that I had to do remembering and listening to that line
being delivered from the original mowind and then eventually being like nope
there's better people they'll do it I suck and moving on yeah I mean
especially when you you don't even have any actions to go along with it and you
can't even necessarily look at the character doing what they're supposed to
be doing like trying to emote in a way that is going to not look and sound
completely weird and unnatural when the players experiencing it is not an easy
task and you could kind of go oh well you know once they practice it up and
get good at it then it's easy for them well you know what that's the investment
they made yeah into developing a skill I mean quite frankly here here I'm going
to I'm going to blow your mind pretty much everything is easy yeah if you
break it down enough is Plumbing rocket
science no so why is it that I have to
pay someone $75 an hour to come to my house and do it because I don't know how
and because that person invested that time into learning how and if I were to
go and educate myself on how to do it for the four times in my entire life
that it'll ever come up and go acquire all the tools another investment that I
would need in order to do it with any standard of quality I would spend more
than it cost to just pay someone to do it that is how these things work some
people think math is very easy and they're probably just ifed to a certain
degree and some people think art is very easy and they're probably Justified to a
certain degree and some but not all of those people don't cross
over some things are easy for some people and their heart for oh okay well
I was talking more in terms of like like practical practical things I wasn't
necessarily talking about I
wasn't okay by practical I mean things that you like do you don't do math you
don't you're not being very helpful I wasn't talking about I wasn't talking
about like a high High L thinking conceptual stuff or or subjective art I
was talking about things like like Plumbing or things like dryw Walling is
drywalling hard not if you know how to do it but you have to actually learn how
to oh shut up shut up with your math he
just he just he likes ragging on me because I can't do math both of the
things you said both have math involved plumbing and drywalling both have math
involved all right so our Technica has
without math AR Technica has their Android marshmallow review this was
posted by Z mule on the Forum um
basically brings in a lot of user requested features but still has no
update solution I'm glad that ARS brought this up because it really is the
Achilles heel of Android right now the
fact that there is just no strategy in
place to address the way that Apple updates their older devices and that
Microsoft is coming out saying yep Windows 10 is like the last Windows and
I'm sure there's an asterisk in there somewhere but the last until we
releaseing other Windows yeah um but but but basically it's a statement about
support as well where they're saying on notebooks on desktops on phones we want
this to be the Windows that just kind of you you you do rolling updates to the
way that you would with a with a mobile OS um so there's some good stuff there's
a new home screen with some genuinely useful features like app search
predictive apps and scrolling I feel like we talked about this last week we
did yes yeah we covered this last week why the hell is this in the W show dog I
don't know um w i I think it's not the first time
this has happened but it hasn't happened in a while it's been a bit uh there are
some more companies added to the diesel
emissions Scandal Mercedes Benz Honda
Mazda and Mitsubishi that's not a small amount
at all yep so things are getting real here
kids so in some uh realistic onroad test
some Honda models emitted six times the regulatory limit while some unnamed 4x4
models had 20 times the limit coming out of their exhaust pipes last week uh whoa
I'm going to fail at seeing a bunch of these is it Rena
Renault Nissan hyai citen Fiat Volvo and
Jeep were all that added to the list last week uh I think it's Renault
Renault Renault so Renault Renault whatever
someone's going to correct us we're going to get slammed I haven't watched
enough Top Gear yeah oh we're getting slammed yeah whatever I there goes um so
so this is hilarious uh vw's uh North
American I want to say president or something like Anyway
basically came out and said like like it was a couple of Rogue
Engineers who did this behind everyone's
back I'm paraphrasing and uh so
so yeah and then and then basically just pulled the diesel lineup from North
America which is about one in five of the cars that they're selling across VW
and Audi in North America so it is it is
going to be dark times for VW over the next little bit here and um this is
interesting some consumers are are refusing the
recall and in California I believe
there's legislation that can um cause
them to not be able to reregister their vehicle I was going to say you're not
they're illegal to be on the road you can't just but in some states there is
actually no law in place that would prevent people from continuing to drive
the vehicle even though wouldn't they have to pass like environmental stand is
that because we have that up here do they not have Air Care is gone oh yes
yeah air Care's gone it was dissolved I think last year that doesn't seem like a
good idea I don't know um anyway the
point is some people citing performance
concerns cuz it it will nerf the car a bit are saying they don't want their car
recalled they don't want it fixed I don't want your car dumping crap into
the air yeah I mean it has been it has been one like there's some there's some
more numbers out now I think it's something like 400,000 California has
Mission standards but it depends on the state in some states they just don't
care I said that I'm clarified oh okay cuz you said you think didn't you oh
maybe okay so yes California for sure um
anyway so it's something along the lines of 350 or 400,000 cars um I I this was
an article I was just reading earlier today it's not I don't have notes on it
but um that are using like a first gen engine or something like that that
requires not just a software update but
also physical changes High larious and then I think
it's only the third gen and maybe second gen ones that can maybe be fixed with a
software update so this is this is I
mean the the the the bottomless the bottomless pit of how much this is going
to cost VW just continues to to gape
open um yeah this is looking pretty
ugly actually some of these topics are kind of boring so I think I'm just going
to kind of skim over a lot of them w w
what ones are you skimming so I know where to show I don't know kind of kind of a lot of them oh wrecked um oh this
is cool so Anon article here the iPhone
6s and 6s plus uh they uh Anon showed
some preliminary results that revealed that they are using an NVMe SSD which is
a huge huge deal they also appear to be
using a smart SLC kind of hybrid SLC TLC
Nan solution that gives it really fast Burst performance with slower sustained
performance something that's not terribly important because you would almost never be writing like huge files
continuously that would exceed what the TLC flash is capable of like even
recording video continuously is going to be fine it's been measured at up to I
think uh I've gotten my notes up
to uh uh sequential read speeds in the
neighborhood of oh balls no I I don't think that I don't think that number is
right so I'm just going to I'm just going to ignore it um sequential reads
of okay oh yeah 256 kiloby sequential reads in megabytes per second of 400
Megs per second with sequential rights of 160 megabytes per second so we're
talking getting pretty close to an entrylevel SSD controller in here not to
mention that because it's NVMe random per performance is significantly
improved I had been trying to put my finger on cuz I I have not done any
actual can't put your finger on thank you objective benchmarks on the iPhone
6s but I've been trying to put my finger on why the crap app launching and
switching was so fast and features like
the uh the 3D touch to preview web pages
why web pages even seem to load faster like everything about this phone is just
so fast and I was like yeah the CPU is
better but that really doesn't account for enough of the difference in
performance it's because the nand absolutely blows away anything that
we've ever seen before like here's the graph on an ontech comparing this to so
here's the 6 Plus 6s plus up at the top
here so the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus were
already pretty fast but compared to the Galaxy S6 it's like almost twice as fast
that's killer so um so yeah the iPhone yes it's
an expensive phone yes Apple charges a lot for phones but this is a
conversation that I've been meaning to have on wano for a little bit
oops oh look it worked everyone looks at
something expensive and wants to use the word
overpriced immediately what is
overpriced overpriced means you're not
getting something for your money compared to what you could get for that
money somewhere else if someone's like
no this costs more because okay look at the razor blade you could say the razor
blade 14 is overpriced okay compared to what compare
it to something if you want something that has all the stuff that it has slim
design high powered GPU uh that's the
only definition of overpriced well what does overpriced mean then if you have a
chocolate bar and there's no other chocolate bars that are exactly like that chocolate bar and you charge $50
for that chocolate bar it's probably still
overpriced yes because other similar chocolate bars that could have similar
features and similar performance in your mouth but what if they don't what if
they don't what if it actually tastes 50 times better than another chocolate bar
it's not over actually taste 50 times better right because if I just like put
chunks of licorice in my chocolate bar no other chocolate bar has that that's a
unique feature you cannot get that anywhere else you'd have to tear the
chocolate bar apart and put it back together that's not the same that's not
an outof package experience therefore you could price it as whatever you want
but if you price it $50 it's obviously overpriced okay so bringing it back to
you can't just do comparative data for overpriced so bringing it back to your
phone has be value but but okay but with
the okay fine but let's talk value because that's why I'm saying you have
to compare it to other stuff that's out there so if you take the iPhone 6s and
you go yeah this costs a lot more than a Galaxy S6 but
it has this technology that the other thing completely straight up doesn't
have because Apple went and invested in building their own NVMe solution they
they built their own storage so is it is it it's not off the shelf okay it's kind
of like what they did in the iMac uh the iMac 27in retina where they're like okay
well nothing can drive 5K so we're just going build our grand for the phone then
it would be overpriced overpriced can be independent value can be seen
independently yes it should cost more
they have put more research into it the thing that is inside is better than the
other thing that is inside the other thing it should cost more but it should cost a scalable amount more I'm not even
saying you're necessarily wrong for just the phone but saying that overpriced is
based off of comparing it to something else that's similar is not technically
right something can be overpriced on its own well it can be you have to compare
to something to evaluate what if there isn't something to compare to because I
didn't say it's not worth it or it's worth
it overprice yeah value is is no no no
overpriced is okay so here let's take
another good example would be um okay
like a diamond studded phone okay okay
does it cost $50,000 yes is it overpriced if it has
you know 40,000 or $45,000 worth of diamonds on it no okay actually diamonds
are a bad example because they are by definition overpriced because they're
actually worthless okay so let's talk let's talk a solid gold phone then okay
so if this if the value's in the gold and there's a reasonable amount of
markup then it wouldn't be overpriced right that so it's not overpriced that's
what I'm saying so if the feature I wasn't trying to say the same thing not
necessarily I wasn't saying that the phone you are talking about is even
overpriced that wasn't my argument okay because it might be worth the value
because there's like I said technologies that are in it that are better than the
other ones so it should cost more because they invested in it and they made it better and then they should
charge more for it that's how markets work but saying that something is
overpriced solely because you're comparing it to one other
thing that you can look at it from more angles than that you were saying that
you you determine if something is overpriced by comparing it to something
thing yeah you can say something is overpriced if there's nothing to compare
it to if I offer a stick well okay that
happens to have you would still compare because you would have to compare so
let's go back to your chocolate bar you would have to compare it to the cost of Licorice and
chocolate that's still a comparison you
have to compare to something because otherwise there's no
point of reference like how much does Jupiter cost Hollow lens Hollow lens
okay it's $3,000 it's $3,000 yeah what
if Hollow lens was $50,000 if it was $50,000 $3,000 is like oh but they have
a whole bunch of tech in there that might be interesting I don't know how much that cost same thing you have to
you have to break it back down not going to cost 50 Grand that would be
overpriced won't yeah what are you going to compare it to you would compare it to
you can't compare it to the $3,000 version that doesn't exist no no you can't compare it to what's actually in
it so is it made of unobtanium then
that's what I'm saying so if it has an NVMe device in it it's not in the other one it's fine but you don't have to
compare it to another phone that doesn't have it in it you have to compare it to
what made up the phone okay I see yes you can do that it has to be value
there's going to be markups there's going distributions can you can individualize the the problem is that a
lot of people don't consider like because if you look at bomb cost a lot
of people when they say oh the iPhone is overpriced they don't consider that
there's an enormous team of people working on it for a year but they they
that's because they're ignorant oh okay
what was because there's R&D teams there's distribution there's manufacturing there's there's
resale I don't really remember my original point and I don't know what
yours is mine was that you were
stating the the how how you were like
lining up your phrase was not right
you're saying everyone's wrong because everyone Compares overpriced this thing
CU saying it's overpriced because of whatever I'm going to have to go back
and watch the archive and figure out what the crap I said okay my point is
that you can't just say something's overpriced because it's
expensive yes you cannot say that it's
it's that's stupid because really you can't do it yes because something could
be very expensive and it could still be a phone and it could not be overpriced
because there's whether it's full of gold or whether it is full of a bunch of
technology that was very expensive to develop you can you can say that doesn't
have a value to me and therefore I will not spend my money on it but that
doesn't mean it's overpriced that means
you don't want to buy it or you can't
buy it because it costs too much for you to justify compared to the other things
in your life like for example let's take okay let's let's take the model S great
example is it overpriced no is it too
expensive for me yes yes is it okay in
this context is it overpriced for me
sure so like for for my means it's
overpriced but that doesn't mean it's overpriced it means it's just expensive
so there that's the distinction I'm trying to make the difference between
overpriced and expensive deal with it
sunglasses and they're not the same thing okay so anyway a lot of people say
the iPhone is overpriced but in this
context or in this case Apple has delivered something that is truly
different and truly unique in spite of the fact that it looks exact like
exactly the same thing as the previous damn iPhone it looks like they haven't
done a bloody thing but they went they developed a new processor they developed
a new storage solution that flips things on that flips the industry on its head
in a way that hasn't been done before much like apple went and introduced the
retina display and then all of a sudden like the Android handset makers they
they never know when it's been enough of a good thing and they're like okay um
1080p uh uh 1440p 4K and then Apple runs
and goes meanwhile you idiots are all
increasing your freaking screen resolution for no reason we're going to
go and make the storage faster which totally makes sense because in computers
if you're making a computer for someone who wants to do a lot of the things that you're going to be doing on a phone not
everything I know but a lot of the things you're doing on the phone a lot of times in SSD is their biggest upgrade
yes and you know it's really funny because people Everyone loves to get
pissed off and be like apple never invented anything and you know what in
this case Apple didn't invent NVMe they didn't invent ssds they didn't invent
the concept of fast storage being important but they ran out and they
actually did it they put it in a product and no one else had the balls someone in
the chat is saying they didn't do that part of it was Samsung it doesn't matter
it's in that phone who cares who cares it's in that phone Apple cut the PO yeah
apple put their money where their mouth was they ordered the Nan chips they
ordered the controllers they invested in the R&D to put it in a phone and they
put it in a phone no one else had the balls or the resources or some
combination of the two to just do it and
that's what it sometimes comes down to you don't have to invent it you just
have to do it we didn't invent a weekly
podcast no that concept existed since
before I like knew how to I don't know I'm trying to
come up with something inter host of anything I think got people saying this
topic sucks I don't care uh it's my podcast so and his too actually we share
a a so we didn't invent the concept of
of of a video podcast but we went and did it so we didn't invent the concept
of YouTube videos yep I the concept of
unboxings nope nope in fact I just did
unboxings because I was like I need to do product overviews and I need a
keyword that's like somewhat somewhat useful yeah people are like we hate this
topic and other people are like I love this topic want to talk about something
that we used to hate and that is hopefully getting less worse what are we
talking about KN for Speed from EA oh yes this isn't in the dock um but I'll
throw the link in the chat and you should be able to Google this pretty easily the one I'm looking at is on PC
Gamer just look at PC Gamer KN for Speed you should be able to find it sure um
I'll throw it in twitch chat this was like ah I my my brain is like not okay
with accepting this but EA looks like they're doing cool
things which is good we have to give them credit for doing cool things I just
I have trust issues when it comes to EA um are you going to
pre-order no I will not um Need for
Speed is not going to have any
microtransactions in the game they're saying that for sure but they're saying
it probably won't have paid DLC so I'm
going to go with there's probably going to be paid DLC and car customization is
like huge and expansive and awesome and
it looks like an old Need for Speed game and that makes me really excited right
down to the shiny road yeah that's cool
I don't care this this whole time I've just wanted like the old school style
Need for Speed games and just I saw I
saw an example of someone driving around and the car physics looked ridiculous
and I was like yay thank you you know what's really funny about this is that
all EA ever had to do to make Need for
Speed fans happy is apply their NHL NBA
formula to Need for Speed here it is the same game new roster please and they
would have people would have actually just been happy every time I played a KN
for Speed game back in the day I was like wow this story Line's terrible and
I love it cuz that's not the point and I
want to not feel bad for skipping cut scenes ever and I just want to go into
some crazy race and then have cops chase me for no reason and then have things
blow up no reason you're speeding smash into some other car and then be like LOL
and just go around the corner and my car is fine anyways and be going so fast in
one of the games that grinding against the wall to go around the corner was
actually more effective than Breaking KN for Speed that was awesome I'm just
trying to picture you getting pulled over by a cop be like there was no
reason there was no reason going 200 miles hour yeah
all right well I think that pretty much wraps it up for our topics
today um yeah I got nothing else thank you guys very much for tuning in we will
see you again next week same bat Time same bat
Channel vot can't leave the
int we have
any
watch yeah I have to film three fastest posses right now and I also am tired
