okay it is W show time and we're going
to get okay are we kind of no now you're
no now you're two Center Stage okay this is the line of show not the wait no not
this is the W show okay then okay fine come on then come on in here
buddy speaking of come on in here buddy we were doing some weird stuff today we
were doing some real weird stuff today it involved drag it involved lipstick
which is part of drag fake mustaches it involved fake mustaches it involved um a
cell phone and taking pictures um yeah actually no it's not as
crazy as it sounds we're working on a uh on a piece for Honor for the honor 6X
phone and actually I I think it's I think it's going to be pretty fun pretty
it seems like it's going to be pretty entertaining it have you actually read the script or were you just kind of
I had no idea that's why every time we got up to a shot I was like I don't know
what I'm doing like I actually had no clue okay so the concept behind the
video is it's kind of like uh it's like the videos that I've hosted in the past
where I compared My Generation to my
kids generation and sort of the differences then versus now okay well
this time it's now versus then yeah so
I'm looking at my generation versus the Baby Boomers and and the way that we use
technology yeah and some of the ways that like you knowing technology might
think certain things that they do is just silly and unnecessary and slow or
whatever solutions that are obvious to us yeah and not as obvious to our
parents and our grandparents so uh it should actually be a pretty fun little
video it's it's a lot better we made it sound kind of lame well I made it sound
kind of lame well part of the part of the added bonus is that like uh so far
at least all of the characters are played by L and I yes so lonus is played
by lonus and then like um I don't know
is it just Grandma my grandma is played by me my aunt is played by him my dad is
definitely played by him yeah so we kind
of went Full Monty Python on like the female characters all
being okay and they got me a medium
dress well okay I don't even fit medium
oh I guess it wasn't for me but like I don't even fit medium men's clothes they
bought me a medium dress you volunteered to fit into to cram yourself into it I
can still feel it under here there was like barely room for him to stuff the
front yeah yeah the good news was it was so tight that you were able to stuff the
front without needing a bra yes yeah
microfiber cloth anyway uh we've got a great show
for you guys this week and oh for crying out loud I didn't change the name of the
bloody stream again yeah the the float party float
party d d d gosh darn namit the the W
show um Tech okay do you want to tell them
what topics we got know yeah sure no I do the Intel
Intel is going to be doing some stuff with Thunderbolt 3 they're going bring
bringing it to more things and I think they're like opening it up a little bit so it should be more common which is
really good that's exciting yeah also there has been a squashed rumor AMD will
not be licensing Graphics chips into not going to be a thing uh Google has
made the ultimate marketing tool which uh is way creepier than it sounds
although you might have seen that coming and then Intel has uh well Intel not
necessarily but someone has leaked some benchmarks of an Intel 7900 X and a
Gigabyte x299 orus gaming 7 and we have
those details oh and there are some very interesting specs in that league so
without further Ado let's roll the intro that works with
music it will it's been doing pretty good
lately I guess we'll have no
idea people are like they finally arrived on time to a wano but they're
probably in like other time zones and don't realize that we're actually like
almost an hour late cuz they cuz they think we're 8 minutes early cuz it's
yeah cuz daylight savings instead of 52 minutes
late hey we appreciate your voter
confidence you guys are uh you guys are
wonderful and there's nothing I can do about the fan this razor blade this is
my old blade cuz I accidentally left my backpack at work this razor blade is
like super not thrilled also there's
more background noise in general in the warehouse right now because as some of
you uh doubt it actually there were a lot of
comments when uh I forget who posted it on social but the picture of the empty
Warehouse they're like why would you post a picture of the warehouse before
you moved in now and we're like oh oh
because that's what it looks like right now so this place is a freaking
construction zone it is going to be oh
it so they thought it was like a Nostalgia pick yes no that's that like
torn apart mess is the warehouse currently
yeah and the upstairs is full of like pretty much everything that was in that
part of the warehouse both Colton and Nick so the whole thing where they're in
like a sales office that's like clearly a oneperson sized office and they're
both in there that's because we don't have any room to put
them anywhere else so that's where they are we're we're renovating so we're
updating the sets we are uh we're building out a mezzanine that well okay
so it was originally supposed to be a mezzanine for storage of like cases and
monitors and boxes that actually takes up a ridiculous amount of space after a
while yeah and it like becomes a problem
because you can't really get rid of this stuff
so got to put it somewhere um and then
it turned into no why don't we make that actual office space because it was an
opportunity to deal with a couple of problems that had crept up on us two
bathrooms is actually not really quite enough you know if you know let say okay
let's say a couple people at LMG go out for dinner the night before and let's
say oh they both get a bad case of the wow I got to sit in the bathroom for a
long time at a time well a third person has no way to use a bathroom so we kind
of needed another bathroom we are getting to the point where there's like sometimes lineups of more than one
person waiting and for the microwave
yeah so we kind of needed another like kitchenette or a bigger one but like
obviously we can't go back and like do that now that that that's not a thing
you know we did actually discuss putting another kitchen on the other side of the
same wall so we wouldn't have to redo any of the plumbing that would have be a
lot easier but but now that we're going to have this space and it can serve it
makes sense more to have it somewhere else it just be easier to do it here so
there's that and then there was one person in particular and I'm not going
to name any names everyone's ask I someone who
really wanted a f
shower a shower wait we are getting one
we're getting a shower oh what the the
timing the timing yeah so funny story
like he might not be here that long um
cuz flow plane media is probably going to get its own space it's going to be
like finally won't have my shower it's going to be a JF like space there's no
way it's going to have like nice facilities cuz I mean we don't know how
fast the company's going to grow the last thing we're going to do is is like invest heavily into renovating a space
only to be like okay bye well that was a great 6
weeks yeah um so I'll just have to come
here and shower no there will not be a fire pull and yes you're you are more
than welcome to shower and our definitely not monitored
shower anytime you want babe I'm okay
with that um all right so why don't we jump into our first tech topic of the
day yeah this I I you know what I fell
for it I did a little bit
too unfortunately I I think because it
would have been pretty cool so we were both like you know what sure yep I I was
down for so so what made this rumor kind
of credible and it was that AMD was going to be licensing chips to Intel for
onboard Graphics what made it somewhat credible to me was that Intel and
NVIDIA don't really work that closely together anymore
um it was it was okay it was rumor and
and the Rumor was because of a previous
previous licensing deal between Intel and NVIDIA that expired in March and it
was basically suggesting that Intel was
licensing Graphics IP from envidia and
that deal had expired and rather than reach a new deal with NVIDIA they had
worked with ATI Technologies Group which
you owned by AMD but but sort of a separate unit um to make sure that they
weren't going to have any trouble with their own Graphics chips and you know
getting uh getting chased down due to patent infringements or whatever the
case may be and it it all kind of like
it all kind of made made sense um sort
of except that I know that Intel
actually has invested very heavily in
their own Graphics probably does own a lot of their own patents and at this
point for them to go ahead with what the the rumor suggested and that was that
Intel CPUs would have powered by Radeon
graphics inside which would have actually been like pretty awesome that's
I think why we sort of believed it to a certain degree was like it didn't sound
completely impossible and it would have been super cool but it's also like it
you know I can see why not because Intel has invested so heavily in in their own
Graphics IP that for them to just kind of go okay yeah well no what you know
what forget it we're just going to use AMD Tech does seem a little hard to
believe especially when most folks aren't really complaining about Intel
onboard Graphics these days the other reason that you know looking back on it
it um that it doesn't make sense and this
this is this is ultimately where the rumor got squashed so that's uh the
article of Fortune and that's where you know from my perspective I'm looking at
it going oh yeah Intel's got still whether you like it or not still the
best instruction per clock and they've got the highest clock speeds available
on their chips so having an Intel CPU with AMD on board Graphics would be kind
of The Best of Both Worlds but Dr Sue
from AMD came out and said look we're not looking at enabling a competitor to
compete against our products it's not about how do we sell more products or
how do we have IP in markets where we're not currently selling products um AMD
just basically straight up said even if Intel wanted it they're not looking to
put AMD's Graphics technology which is
good on Intel CPUs they're going to keep
it on AMD's CPUs and for
now those products are frankly not that
compelling because amds got their Graphics technology on older series apus
that are running just what is not in terms of months or years really old
architecturally but in terms of how much better the Zen cor is really old
architecturally products so when they
bring us Zen cor apus all of a sudden I
I think mine and Luke's excitement about having Radeon graphics on Intel CPUs
doesn't really matter as much because you'll be able to get radon graphics on
a zenor CPU so
you know I I I was amped for it not a thing but I'm not that disappointed so a
lot of people are freaking out about and there's like hash saave Luke in the chat
and stuff I'm not like ding yeah and
like I'll still be around I don't have any intent to not do WAN Show and like
I'm still planning on doing some videos here and there I'm definitely going to
be on VR stuff hopefully when it gets you know like more interesting and
better um and then like I have some
videos coming down the chain if you you have any here help me out if you have
any like really weird but kind of
interesting or unheard of but neat technology things that you know of just
hit me up on Twitter down over there
twitch chat's freaking out we saved
Luke yeah you did it
Reddit oh terrible
um uh what do we got for our next topic I'll move this on uh o okay this is cool
though because okay that the last one is a little bit disappointing because we
both kind of wanted it to happen because those would have been really really really cool processors I personally
would have liked to see them in laptops but this one does seem to be happening
don't believe it's a rumor uh Intel's plan to Thunderbolt 3 all the things so
Thunderbolt 3 still hasn't gone mainstream which has been frustrating for a lot of people due to a combination
of high cost and low availability Now Intel is taking two steps to accelerate
the adoption of Thunderbolt 3 they're integrating Thunderbolt 3 into Intel
CPUs finally yes thank you yes which is
super awesome I mean the fact that it was so expensive to add to the
motherboard meant that it only existed on these super high-end products and so
you were stuck with it just being like Niche tastic for people who are willing
to invest a bunch of money into a premium board and in many cases buy an
additional add-on module and in terms of lower and cost
this is like not better but like better in certain ways um next year they are
making the Thunderbolt protocol specification available to third party
chip makers royaltyfree you know what's really funny
about this is I had spent so much time
talking talking about Thunderbolt 3 as
like one of the only key differentiators
that I could think of between buying
Intel and buying AMD now that ryzen
exists because whether you have a
specific use for it today or not it's a
really cool technology and having the expandability of a Thunderbolt 3 port on
any device is not something that I would say no to you never know how things are
going to go down for example I'm working on a test bench right now that's got
dual graphics cards a 10 gbit Nick and a
red rocket X accelerator in it it has
six PCI Express slots if I wanted to put
anything else in there you know what hey being able to connect it via Thunderbolt
like let's say I had like a a professional audio capture device or or
something a nice high speed low latency
Daisy chainable interface I'm not going to say no to that and the same thing
goes for laptops a lot of people don't think Thunderbolt 3 is that big of a
deal Microsoft
yeah sorry that was that was very
disappointing okay we will talk about that after but a lot of people don't
think Thunderbolt 3 is that big of a deal on a laptop but I'm looking at it
going you're not thinking 3 years out
when some new you know hot sh thing
happens and you want to be able to connect it the other thing you're not thinking about is that while external
Graphics enclosures don't make a ton of sense right now while the uh the cheap
ones use proprietary interfaces like the Alienware Graphics Graphics booster
whatever they call it anyway it's boost it performed really really well in our test Graphics amplifier um like the
alien wear so that one's like 200 bucks but the Razer core is like 400 or 500
something like that okay that won't be true forever are already cheaper ones on
the market and that's only going to continue to happen so 3 years down the
line so people look at it and they go what you're going to spend $1,500 on a
laptop another $500 on an enclosure and
another $500 on a graphics card that on any graphics card that would actually be
faster than what's in your laptop no of course not you're going to spend $1,500
on a laptop use the GPU that's in there and then 3 years down the line instead
of spending another $1,500 on a laptop so that you can game you're going to
spend 200 bucks or 150 bucks on an
enclosure and by then Graphics technology will be such that you could
spend 150 bucks on a graphics card and it'll be better than what's in your laptop that is the point that people are
missing with Thunderbolt 3 so having it is a total bonus and for me so AMD
announced that they're going to be doing mobile Zen based CPUs soon that to me
was going to be a real bummer for investing in an AMD laptop but now this
potentially changes everything so let's talk about um let's talk about Microsoft
not thinking Thunderbolt 3 is a big deal yeah so they they brought us to China
which was super interesting and um I we
figure out what's coming out and I'm pretty excited because lonus had
actually oddly very recently made a
video about the Surface Pro 4 which was
weird because it was a super late video
it was like wildly late like this video came out 2 months ago I think
so his opinions on it were very fresh and lots of comments under the video
were very fresh in terms of like there's a new product coming out so I I have
like everything ready I'm like okay all right I've I've been told by them that
like they've directly addressed claims and stuff I'm like man this is really exciting I like feel like I know what's
coming and I feel like like one of the quotes that you said in Surface Pro 4
video was that you feel like the Surface Pro 4 was the first time that the
Surface Pro lined up with Microsoft's vision for what it was supposed to to be
y so I was like here we go one of my lines was literally like and this is
where they take it from there and I was like all freaking excited and then
Linus's biggest complaints in my opinion that happened in that video were all IO
based there was a Micro SD card slot instead of a full SD card slot that
didn't change there's still a Micro SD I think it's SD XD SDXC card slot um and
then the io was microphone power the surface dock the
connector into the key keyboard mini DP
and a usb3 type a port that's all it was
before and that is exactly what it is now the reason why I remember is cuz I
just made the freaking video about it no type c no additional type A if you
want to plug in like uh a mouse and a flash drive at the same time you're
boned um just I don't know n and then the pen
isn't included in anymore the pen is so much better now which is super cool the
pen is actually like drastically better now right and you could that's another
interesting thing you could just buy the pen cuz it's backwards compatible and
use it with your Pro 4 and that's probably what a lot of
people are going to do like cuz the pen
is what it's like four times as precise
it now has like tilt functionality uh and it latency is way lower it's the
lowest latency input pen that there is
like Pen's super cool
there you go did it join the uh does it
have like 15 new things about it that are better than any other
pen I wish can we call it the pen 15 I I
would love that I would love that if they just didn't acknowledge it at all a
straight face here's 15 things about the Microsoft pen that are the best I feel
like you know you know how musk wanted to line up the S and the three and the X
I feel like he if he released a pen well
no he wanted it to be e and Ford screwed him on it that's why we had the three so
that's why we ended up with s3x he wasn't even going to be that subtle man
Model E and then they said it was two close Model T or whatever which is ridiculous well didn't no I thought they
had a Model E I thought that was the problem I'm not much of a car guy so
it's hard for me to uh to necessarily remember this
stuff is there a Ford Ford Model E Yeah there there you go so that's why that's
why they wouldn't let him get away with it but uh that's okay you know smart guy
like musk he can he can figure out use some Le speak why not speaking of
smart guys like musk how stoked do you think he is on this the original article
here is from futurism.com and this is some Skynet creepy shiz
right about now you guys I'm going to get this in twitch chat real quick this
is some crazy business the headline is
Google's new AI is better at creating AI
than the company's engineer oh that was I linked the wrong thing in twitch chat
this is the automl project an artificial
intelligence that assists in the creation of other AIS this is
exactly what Terminator told us not to
do
exactly yeah like two a
te H so autom ml is a controller neural
net that can propose a child model architecture which can then be trained
and evaluated for quality on a particular task wow so so far they've
used this autom mlte to design networks
for image and speech recognition tasks
so the system matched Google's experts for image recognition and exceeded them
in speech recognition designing better architectures than the humans were able
to create this is one thing that I'm interested in though was that
ever or were they put in like a Time window like were the humans and the AI
both given an hour or a day or was it
like what the humans have been able to make up until now to be honest I haven't
looked much further into that I haven't seen that information kind of anywhere
because that's actually a pretty interesting difference right uh there
were a couple more quotes on it I can have a look and see if I can uh find
anything cuz I'm not I'm not trying to say that it wouldn't be possible ever
for them to do it but I feel like right now it would be on like a similar timed
test I don't think so it really doesn't
sound that way because like did did they cuz we're saying speech recognition
right yeah so did this AI make a better speak recognition thing than what Google
is using currently right now cuz if not then it didn't beat it I proove his
proposals for it's worded in a way that I can't
like 100% be certain it is a little bit
tough to tell exactly exactly what they mean but either way it sounds it sounds
terrifying so basically here's the here's the quote if we succeed we think
this can Inspire new types of neural Nets and make it possible for
non-experts to create neural Nets tailored to their particular needs
allowing machine learning to have a greater impact for everyone oh I'm sure
machine learning is going to have an impact yep
D I like you know it's funny I was never
really much of a doctor who guy and then
I like bent watched the entire like like 20 whatever Doctor Who
like not not 20th century Doctor Who the the 20 year
something and I was just like this is
great I think I must be one of the only people who really liked the first doctor
from uh from New Generation yeah I don't
even remember his name any but I I thought he was I actually thought he was pretty awesome but uh
anyway that's neither here nor there but it makes me think of the episode where
the cars like drive people off into the into the water and stuff like that um
cuz they're they're using they they turn they're taking over the world's
electronic devices and all that kind of thing like I
just I'm going to be someone in chat in all capital letters the first doctor was
awful he was not awful remember to though that I'm coming
at it from a really different perspective as someone who never watched
the old show and basically other than knowing that it was something to do with
a blue phone booth yeah knew nothing
about it I know there's a blue phone booth I know there's a crazy screwdriver and I know you haven't watched Doctor
Who no I think he like dies sometimes
and then he like glows and then another one shows
up or does he like like pass the screwdriver forward is it a different
screwdriver is is it a sonic
screwdriver no no okay I'm sad now okay you got to
watch some Doctor Who bro okay it's it's actually okay it's really camp but it's
like actually really good it's really good you'll like it you'll like it all
right um all right
let's that's all I know about the only you know it's funny I'm like I'm leaning
on you really hard even though I went so long without watching it but the reason
I'm doing it is that's what made me finally go okay okay like Firefly I was
like okay fine fine fine I'll watch it okay I'll watch it cuz like honest nerd
Phantoms go that way it's terrifying tackling like Firefly was okay cuz
there's only one season but like when someone comes to you and they're like
this is a really great show there's nine freaking you know 20 episodes it's still
going right and you're just
like this is like a week of my life that I'm Comm to this if I like it and see
like usually I wait till shows are over I still haven't watched any Game of
Thrones me neither cuz I'm waiting for it to
end okay I think I watched like the first season but I don't really remember
well I read the first book found out they weren't all written and I was like
flip desk nope I own them all on like kind I
didn't know there was books usually I read the book first I ended up watching
a couple episodes and I was like damn this Show's weird as hell but pretty
good so I ended up watching the whole first season then I was like I'll wait
till all the seasons are done then I figured out there was books and I bought the books and then was like oh my
goodness there's more books coming damn it so we've gone through exactly the
same I've actually gone one step further I already own the Blu-rays for like the
first five seasons but well H
HMV H&M H HMV HMV disappeared shut down
and I went in and like seasons of Game of Thrones were like $14 or something on
Blu-ray like it was ridiculous that's really good so I
bought like $400 worth of Blu-rays that day I got so much good stuff that's
pretty and I was just like yeah okay well I you the good news is I have lots
of time to rip it all to my Plex server because I won't be watching it for a
very long time yes yeah yeah um all right what else oh Google
has made the ultimate marketing tool yeah so this is what I actually thought
we were sharing before the original article here is from
bleepingcomputer.com and it'll come up eventually way to go bleeping computer
this is yeah this is oh I timed it just wrong it finally this is super creepy
the the last one was like oh my God they're going to take over the world
that's really scary this one's like oh
my God this is the creepiest thing freaking ever what the actual hell is
this at the annual Google marketing next
conference the Mountain View search advertising giant announced a new
service that will let advertisers track
and tie offline credit card payments
with ongoing marketing
campaigns so this is going to be this system will be driven by Machine
learning and combines data from Google's regular campaigns with third-party
Partnerships which capture 70% of credit
and debit transactions in the
US yeah this is terrible yeah the good news is that and they use
like geolocation and everything to tie in everything so like they'll they'll
they'll find mood patterns where like if
something is happening like say your phone is blowing up from certain
contacts and you tend to make certain impulse purchases when certain people
are blowing up your phone they'll like I'm not even kidding though flowers yeah
yeah they'll throw advertisements at you for different services and whatnot and
of course they're analyzing exactly what's being said even so they don't
even have to look for it to blow up they could just look for they could know
before you know and then have those ads ready for our anniversary is coming up
and boom Sky helicopters ads actually
they'll they'll know your uh like Target price probably too from your payment
history so they'll give you like a value
appropriate ad I mean at what point do
we just live in capsules like the Matrix and we just get like when we want it we
get like an injection of happiness and when we want it we get like spinn into
our you know what's really funny is I'm probably and I'm I'm I'm just going to
kind of jump in here and you can correct me if I'm wrong I'm probably the most fidgety person you
know yeah and I'm really fidgety too but that's not the I don't even know why
they're called that I have never been even tempted to try a fidget spinner no
because it's too it's too uh
uh like basic onedimensional I don't get it like I like I fidget with whatever's
in front of me I like like I used to drive Nick light
freaking crazy on our conference calls
because we used to do them in the L show room back when we were at the old
Langley Place and there was a boom ARM that had the microphone for the show
above where we'd sit on the couch cuz that that was the couch we'd sit on the couch and we' do our conference calls
together and so whatever was in my hand I would put my ARM out and I would throw
it up over the pole to myself I remember that and catch it to myself and I would
like hit the boom ARM from time to time and people who were on the call with us
be like oh it's what sorry did you guys cut up for and ni be just
like but yeah I just don't
get but the thing is you're fidgeting
and like I think we have similar kinds you'll like grab something and like
throw it around and you're like really interactive with like
this is this is too boring there's not enough going on that doesn't that
doesn't really it's way too boring with that said have you tried one no okay so
maybe before we dismiss it we should at least you know if you're going to say
buy one of those stupid things if you're going to say crack cocaine is bad you
should at least try it
first okay just so like it's on record
no obviously not no obviously not but that won't change the gifts yeah um
anyway back to the marketing next Google attribution so that's what the service
is going to be called um it Aggregates
details about the ads displayed on your phone the sites and time that you
visited them what you've searched in Google it uses GE location and Wi-Fi
information from your phone uh to tell if you've gone to the mall or walked
into a store that sells that product and finally with the integration of payment
data from third party Partnerships Google will know if you've bought that product and we'll report it in the
advertisers AdWords dashboard it's
driven by Machine learning and combines data from okay we already said that part
holy freaking crap with that said if
Google knew that my wife's birthday was coming up and suggested Sky helicopters
that would be pretty cool we finally went on our helicopter ride oh cool yeah
so I bought it for her back in October it's been a bit which is when her
birthday is and I didn't have to think about that for a sec
um and it took until now for us to do it because we've had a very very young baby
and it was kind of like the reason for the timing the reason for the gift the
reason for giving her a gift that I knew she wouldn't be able to enjoy for a bit
was it was like hey hun everything is
horrible right now because we have an infant but here's something to really
look forward to you know once we can leave the baby at home for a couple of
hours and uh so we went we went flying
up into the mountains um just north of the greater
the Greater Vancouver area and these pict
are freaking sick so uh it's actually my
sister's boyfriend who took us up there and uh so he's a he's a helicopter pilot
and um even got us like a small deal and
freaking man uh we did the sunset uh we did the sunset tour yeah
sorry you guys won't be able to see this wow really cool it's like freaking
Wilderness uh hold on oh I'm I'm going backwards no I'm I'm getting to like
just flying over like the city that that's not as good oh you guys got out
but we got like way oh yeah yeah we land
on a mountain top that's really cool and you can just see as far as the eye can
see the entire top of the mountain awesome is just like like it's it's it's
like a jagged Peak but it's like flattened out from the from the cone of
snow on the top and like you're like on top of the world and uh as the sun goes
down the light was just like we got the perfect light so the sun coming through
kind of a light Cloud on us but blue skies above us
and uh it was just oh that one's blurry
it was just unreal middle of nowhere
this would be like a 3 4 day Expedition
for a very experienced Mountaineer yeah or you can fly up there in like 20
minutes um that's pretty awesome but uh let me
just see if I can find like one of the pictures we took like right when the sun
was sun was setting it's like freaking unbelievable it's like so quiet just
crazy got like the helicopter in the background there honestly it was really
expensive like it was still like 500 bucks so it's not the kind of present
that I would buy every year or anything like that but again like you know me I'm
the kind of person who does like a a big gift once in a while and then like
here's some you know breakfast or whatever yeah like more like more like a
gesture and I think in that case it sort of makes sense like this sucks right now
but here like just look at this don't worry about it let's keep going yeah it
was like to get it was as much for me as it was for her to get both of us through
the uh through the next six months um
speaking of getting through the next six months um you know we got to make sure
we keep the the lights on in the studio for the next six months so sponsors for
the W show today you know what's funny is I actually didn't know this until um
until when I was working on pimp my Wi-Fi out in Singapore that n genius in
addition to making consumer grade stuff actually makes enterprise class
networking gear so this right here is the ews 360
AP it's an Enterprise class dualband access point ideal for large offices
schools and Hospitality guest Wi-Fi access it features 11 AC speeds um and
it's got a bunch of business class features it can operate in autonomous or
managed mode it's got a high powerered radio with a 3X3 antenna design and it's
got meshing Tech technology built in so that means you can actually run and and
obviously it's not as good as running a wire to every single AP we know but
sometimes you don't really have a choice and a mesh can be very very convenient
um there are so this is where they really kill it in terms of the total
cost of ownership unlike some other Enterprise access points there are no
per device license fees and no annual
subscription fees so that's what keeps so while the AP itself might not be that
cheap compared to another access point that's not really the
point the point is lower overall total cost of ownership so check it over check
it out check it out over at ingenius tech.com New
.html also sponsoring the show this week ma
Welden you look so sharp when you wear a collar I I think other than the first
year at CES where you wore like were you like bought you like you did it the way
that like noobs buy clothes where you
bought an outfit y like a shirt a vest
our pants um and uh anyway I think that's like one
of the only times I've ever seen you dress up the caller suits you though
there was also comp wait did you say computex oh computex too that same year
yeah so ma Welden leaves in smart design premium fabrics and simple shopping even
he could do it
uh like actually like they make super comfortable underwear socks shirts
undershirts hoodies and sweatpants and
they have a line of silver underwear and shirts that are naturally antimicrobial
which and this is a really fun fact is
actually a thing you can put silver in your water cooling Loop and it will kill
bacterial growth silver ions that's a
thing so when they lace these Fabrics with silver they actually naturally kill
the microbes that cause Bo you're still going to sweat obviously but hey at
least it helps and like you should still wash it out and stuff yes ma Welden the
only clothing you never have to wash you heard it here first it was a complete
and utter lie but that's but you heard it here first uh anyway ma w wants you
to be comfortable so if you don't like your first pair of boxers you can keep
it and they will still refund you and not only do their underwear socks and
shirts look good they perform well too
great for working out going to work going on dates and just everyday life I
mean basically good clothes should be good for everyday life yeah so go to

LTX is happening ticket rocket. cevent
detail 97246 LTX
d2017 I still don't know why we haven't URL shortened that I also don't know why
but that's fine what the hey uh you want to come hang out yeah so it's going to
be on July 29th from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00
p.m. we're going to have the whole LT crew there we're going to have fun
booths including the case toss the guess how many CPUs are in a jar and playing
rocket League IRL we're going to use the
not with like the superpowered cars but there's like actually like kits you can
buy so oh yeah okay or rent rather so so
there'll be like like a whole kit so it's going to be halfway Tech like we're
going to have some partners coming out and like teching it up like like game at
144 Herz in 4k cool I think I think
those guys are coming out and then we're going to have stuff that's just like
completely Carnival like we're you know those things with the big long bungee
cord where you like run as fast as you can as hard as you can against the
bungee cord and then it like rips you back oh God so we're we're going to get
one of those I think so we're just going to have just a mish mash of like stupid
fun crap to do and you come hang out with the LT crew tickets are 30 bucks uh
or there's a bigger package that includes uh Floatplane membership and some other cool stuff so there you go
LTX is
coming all right other news topic what else we got here oh yes leaks so
software.net is the original source for the leak here and it looks like a
Gigabyte board running an Intel Core i7
7900x 10 core CPU at 4 GHz base 4 and A2
boost was leaked AF so that is the uh oo
local rank number two okay a lot of these numbers don't mean a whole lot to
me but that's okay um 20 threads 4 GHz
wow if that is the actual TDP rating
that is basically Intel turning up the
heat quite literally like they have been so conservative in the stock speeds of
their processors for so long if this 175
wat TDP is for real you are going to need like a dual 120 mm liquid cooler in
order to keep this thing boosting up which which is great for those of you on
like uh SoundCloud listening to the podcast which almost no one does cuz we
never mentioned that it exists it's 175
Watts why are you plugging the audio version nobody cares nobody cares I
think it's on iTunes too is it yeah I
think Colton set up like an automated thing people ask me every once in a
while like when are you guys going to make it like a legit podcast and like go on like iTunes and stuff and I'm like I
don't even know if we are not right now hey we might already be the L show is a
legit podcast I think they mean like audio podcast well you know what oh geez
there it is look at that on iTunes iTunes uh there's uh oh okay that one
didn't go up until like mid this week
but you could still you could still listen to it on iTunes so it's like week
hold News 4 days late okay we should
maybe maybe it's not automated it's probably not automated Colton probably is doing it manually wow which I
appreciate his dedication but uh there you go yeah the Lano is on iTunes now
you know it's a free download on iTunes I can you see how many people like I
have no idea customer reviews okay hey let's read these let's read some reviews
great guys I've been watching their content ever since they started making
Tech videos on the internet there buddy glad to see them make the jump to iTunes
as well very informative well done Tech and news coverage that Canadian accent
damn really nice to really glad to see the WAN Show make its way to YouTube
Buddy two guys having fun laughing at the silly state of the world focus on
technology love to support him as they Canadian boys okay that one legitimately
sounded like a Canadian did too right yeah yeah good to see this make its way
to the iTunes good ideas you can listen to it whenever you want there buddy
great job guys keep up the good work where you want there
buddy that legitimately said buddy that would have been perfect I wish it said
buddy but but that one that second one that did say as they Canadian and it
sounded Canadian before it said that y so that was pretty good so there you go
if you ever left a review I think there I think that's all three I if you ever
left a review of The W show on iTunes
then you got a hardcore W show call out yeah there um uh T Moody Demon Hunter
and YOLO swag
shop yes and there's four numbers after it so like YOLO swag shop was taken and
now it's YOLO swag shop 1275 you know I
excuse it these days but I remember when
like email addresses were were were easy
enough to get unique ones were easy enough to get that like when I met my
wife I legitimately straight up held it against
her that her email address at the time
was sweetheart 09 at something
and I was just like
really I don't know if I don't know if this relationship's going to be a thing
in my girlfriend's defense she has a Gmail now okay she she got off the Yahoo
train finally oh well she wasn't at Yahoo so yeah was not at Yahoo she was
at like a real email provider yeah yeah
so you know yeah she fixed it yeah sorry
Emma but you're done no she fixed it she she fixed it it's
fine uh what else we got AMD discusses
upcoming RAM settings in ryzen so this
was actually big news when ryzen was
first launching that there was pretty much nothing to adjust like you could
turn the speed up as high as you could go and you could tighten up primary
timings but like that was it
now they are opening things up a fair
bit more so there's actually some really great news here this is community update number four so first of all um I was
talking to my buddies over at lime Tech uh unraid and um blah blah blah FTC
disclosure I uh am involved in potentially investing in Lime
Technologies anyway um so I was talking to my buds over there and they were like
this virtualization news is good news
because ryzen has not been a lot of fun
in unraid with virtualization up till now so here we go they're getting fresh
support for PCI Express access control services which primarily enables support
for manual assignment of PCIe graphics
cards within logical containers called I andu groups so the hardware resources
blah blah blah can be dedicated to Virtual machines so this is for GPU pass
through and this is what projects like seven Gamers uh one CPU have been all
about without ACS support uh 3D
accelerated Graphics in a VM was like not going to be a thing so this is
freaking awesome with ACS support is also possible to split see they're
talking about this a 2 GPU system such that a host Linux OS and a Windows VM
could both have dedicated graphics this is exactly what we're talking about it's freaking awesome um also what's next for
memory so added dividers for memory clock up to ddr4 4000 good luck getting
that running uh command rate is coming
uh and a bunch of of secondary timings so there you go freaking cool wow that's
really cool all the things that's a pretty huge update actually all the freaking things so uh you won't get any
of this functionality until your motherboard manufacturer bakes it into
uh a ufi update but it's good to know that these things are being worked on
and again this comes down to like us not
necessarily being that comfortable saying go by ryzen now but us also
having the confidence to give the the technology a a positive a positive spin
in our review because we were sure that given a little bit of time AMD was going
to get this stuff worked on so I am I am flipping excited for what they're doing
right now over there oh wow thank you Ivan yeah yeah you guys may or may not
have noticed but Ivan like kind of is sleeping in a corner of the warehouse
right now yeah I don't know how many of you will
actually even know who Ivan is but uh he's the OG OG crazy Russian is what I
used to always refer to him as back in the NC Tech tips days um and I've been
informed it's not Russian it's Soviet Canadian okay okay I got that's I said
OG crazy Russian cuz that's what I called you not like I was referring back
to something that I said that was
wrong yeah you too bro okay um anyway he
brought us water he's a he's he's good people I mean mine doesn't have any ice
in it but I think mine has like construction stuff you know it's a it's
a learning it's a learning experience um what else we got 26 more
parameters blah blah oh we're expecting oh we're expecting these bioses to roll
out sometime in the mid to late June time frame there are apparently a couple
boards that already have public betas the ga ax 370 gaming 5 from Gigabyte and
the Crosshair 6 from
ASUS Europe modernizes media rules keeps
TV relevant um this is a super boring weird
stuff apparently the revised directive gives broadcasters more flexibility as
to when ads can be shown the overall limit of 20% of broadcasting time is
maintained between 700 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. but instead of the current 12
minutes per hour broadcasters can choose more freely when to show ads throughout
the day okay so that gives them the ability to sell a lot more advertising
during prime time and then kind of ease off it when most people aren't listening
kind of like what you'll see them do on the radio where they'll have like an
hour of uninterrupted ad pre music when nobody's freaking listening anyway yeah
like really late at night they'll they even do like 4 hours or something like
during my morning commute on uh uh TSN 1040 it's the only radio station that I
still know exists um like every like
it's like an 18-minute drive and I will get like at least one ad for where to to
take my cumings Cummings tur turbo diesel yeah Cummings or Cummings
Cummings uh is a different all the car people are
coming for me anyway um so I can I know where to
get my diesel repaired I know where to
um Cummins okay I know where to go for
my uh my Freight and Logistics uh I know where I could buy a Chrysler and uh like
like all this they get like so many sponsor read in there so the reason why
we're saying Cummings and most people are probably freaking the heck out is that is a like trailer and engine shop
that's actually somewhat near us so we've probably seen their
advertisements that's a local shop okay it's cumins is this specific yeah okay
um so anyway what else are they doing can blah blah blah blah blah plat the
new proposed rules are platforms which organize and tag a large quantity of
videos will have to protect miners from harmful content such as pornography and
vience and protect all citizens from incitement to hatred so this is
basically kind of leveling the playing field a little bit like you know let's
let's take let's say some popular cancerous online
personality that that is driving viewers to a platform TV doesn't even really
have the option to like like if if everyone's kids are attracted to this
person who swears a lot and spews a lot of a lot of hate and garbage um but it's
driving traffic and driving Revenue to the platform basically what they're
trying to do is level the playing field a little bit they're going okay look you can't you can't Market that at at um
minor yeah okay we'll now ensure that
regulatory authorities are truly independent from government and Industry
to ensure that the audiovisual media Act is in the interest of the viewers and
they want to something something something something yeah I really don't
know if that's going to save TV but I wish some luck yeah oh good
wonderful just when I was enjoying the Galaxy S8 and its Iris scanner
uh this is from bleepingcomputer.com the Sam excuse me the Samsung Galaxy S8 Iris
scanner is apparently easily hackable and fooled by
a photo which is funny because I remember
specifically sitting in a Samsung
briefing for the Note 7 they see they promised all kinds of things about the
Note 7 they promised it wouldn't explode well they didn't
specific never came up but they said
that the Irish scanner wasn't going to be like facial recognition and that it
wouldn't be easy to fool but apparently a photo of a
person's eye taken at medium distance is more than enough to trick a Samsung
Galaxy S8 smartphone according to researchers from the chaos computer
group so they're saying that they use depth scanning to try to like make it
more advanced and that whole advancement
was bypassed uh by gluing a contact lens
on top of the image creating a round surface on top and that successfully
tricked everything
interesting so and this is because modern Iris scanners and facial
recognition systems are programmed to use image depth in order to distinguish
between photos and a human or like other
three-dimensional object so uh I think there's a number of different ways that
you could break that to be honest clever trick and this is great uh to get the
best results with your hack you are going to want to use a Samsung
printer perfect uh so take photos using
the camera's night shot mode as it captures Iris details better and then uh
he got the best results with a Samsung laser printer the thing is okay to be
fair that out of everything on this article that seems a little
sensationalist cuz he might have had like a junko printer and then like the
really expensive Samsung printer that he bought and been like H guess what or he
had just two different Sam printers and was like yeah my best result great was
off the only one I had thanks Samsung for uh sponsoring this article on it not
so much okay we've got an iPhone rumor so
why don't we move on to something else researchers engineer shapeshifting
noodles researchers from MIT engineer
noodles that can change shape so these sheets of gelatin transform into to 3D
shapes when dunked in water which could save on food shipping costs oh solving
the world's problem one air pocket at a
time need to change shape though well
because people like noodles in different
shapes people like I like bow ties you know my family always called
them diapers why that's gross think
about that next time you're eating uh pasta
why would you do that especially if you've got kind of like a like a really
chunky sauce in it just great think about that while you eat it okay some
like not minced enough chunky diapers chunky diapers um yeah with like a
yellow curry yeah
so why did you have to bring Curry into
it it looks the same going in as coming
out oh that was good that was good that was good that was awful it was I thought
okay at first I thought this was like a feed the hungry thing not just we're
going to save money on shipping cost because that's a good idea yeah so the
researchers created flat discs that wrap around beads of caviar similar to can
canoli canoli I don't know much about caviar so as well as spaghetti that
spontaneously divides into smaller noodles when dunked in hot water like I
could see if if they if they get away with it
I could see craft buying this like
patenting the crap out of it and that being like the only pasta my kids would
eat they'd be like no it'll like grow we
want the purple ketchup and we want the we want the magic
noodles but now the craft package instead of being this big and that thick
yeah it would be like you would just take like this brick of noodles it would
be like you know like uh like the food synthesis machines on like futuristic
shows right where you just like have the little brick thing and you throw it in and it's like pasta yeah and I mean
knowing craft they'd find a way to find something that tastes nothing like
cheese but is somehow delicious anyway and mix it in there all pre-done you
just be like it's it's like a it's like a it's like a KD Square yeah um and
maybe if America is really nice and eats
up all their vegetables they'll get the good version this
time oh my goodness this is interesting
apparently even if you were to pack macaroni perfectly which would be the
the be all and end all of OCD um you still end up with
67% of the volume wasted as air I'm not even surprise yeah that that makes sense
yeah so it would be drastically smaller than before okay so do you remember how
we had talked about as like an offshoot business potentially building like VR
like VR arcades or like local VR centers just as like kind of a hey LMG has some
some cash flow why don't we like invest in a new business idea I'm actually glad
we didn't because IMAX is apparently
opening up virtual reality centers and
uh I'm sure that IMAX is going to do it better than we would W it's also really
expensive yeah it's really expensive but IMAX is going to be kind of like the
premium option uh they actually talked about this a fair bit at the Acer event
that I attended um a few weeks back and basically they're like creating custom
so they've got all the Partnerships with the film industry so they want to create
custom content with like ale a IPS so people can go in
and have like there's a quote here that
says you walk out of a movie all excited about having seen John Wick or the
Avengers and you can walk right next door like within the same building right
next door uh not like to the next building and continue being immersed in
that experience because you can like continue the story as that character or
whatever which is pretty sick so in the first four months of 2017 the pilot
Center that they have down in LA Register more than 25,000 admissions
with an average revenue of $155,000 per week so they're planning five us centers
and they talked about at least uh back at the Acer event how they could see
this becoming like a worldwide freaking
thing um so what we had talked about was
really a lot smaller it was kind of like you'd go into like a little place and
there would just be like you know machines set up and you could play V
games we took some inspiration from a few of the like interesting Tech places
around the world videos that I've made y um and it was going to be like a cool
place to hang out there was probably going to be some food and like maybe a
bar and then in the back somewhere there'd be like VR areas where people
there'd be like a TV setup for each station so your friends could like kind of watch you play and there would be
enough setups that you could all play against each other with each other or
whatever but we decided not to not only because um well we had the foresight to
kind of realize that if it was super worth it some else would probably wreck
us anyways which sounds like ended up being what was going to happen and also
uh that VIIs wasn't at all ready yet when we wanted to do
it um oh you know what uh Guildford Maul
has a little VR thing it's like 35 bucks an hour or something like uh when I went
in there were like three or four people playing I just walked past him I was
like yeah and I kind of popped my head in but uh
yeah I think uh that's probably pretty
much it for the show but I do have kind of a bombshell to drop for those of you
who have made it this far so um it's uh
it I I regret very much to inform you
guys this will be I mean I want you guys to kind of to kind of hear about it from
us rather than just kind of figure it out eventually but uh Nikki ve Nikki V
is moving on from lonus Media Group uh this is not an April Fool's prank do not
adjust your calendars um basically he's actually
taking a position making biking videos which actually makes a ton of sense for
him that's something that he's always been super passionate about but um I'm
excited for him yeah it's it's funny we've never we've never really lost
anyone who made it past their probation um and in two weeks actually Chelsea
left as some of you probably noticed already and we hadn't really kind of
figured out how to talk about that yet and uh Nick Van burkel will be no more
now he's still here for two more weeks um and I had actually asked him already
if not next Friday cuz I'll be in Taiwan but the Friday after which will be his
last day if he'd like to come on the W show and kind of hang out and maybe I
don't know chat with you guys do some Q&A whatever whatever just kind of chill
one last time um but that'll be that'll be a so I I had an idea off the stream
but I feel like I should pitch it now so I can get the support of the uh wano
audience oh my God everyone's freaking out yeah if helps at all I feel exactly
the same way but um it's it's it's I
think it's the right thing I think everyone here is freaking out to a certain degree but yeah I agree with lus
he's always been into bike stuff he's always been into outdoor videos
snowboarding videos bike videos or whatever and that's tot been his passion
I'm really excited for him I want to see the stuff he's going to make I I think
it's I don't think it's impossible that we'll ever cross paths again uh to be
clear we're we're we're parting on I mean it's still kind of you know it
still kind of stings but we're parting on good terms so I'm kind of hoping some
weird Tech thing will come out that is
very well displayed on a bike Y and we'll just be able to kind of work with
him there'll be an opportunity to collab a little bit it's not like he won't still be making videos he's uh he's not
moving out of the Vancouver area so he's not going to be like in a completely
other country or anything like that so it's uh it's it's it's what is it what
is it it's um sweet it's not it's not goodbye it's see you later yeah yeah
yeah so I had an idea um for like one
one kind of cool Channel Super Fun video that he
could do before he goes okay uh a last
tuneup a last tuneup Oh
Lordy uh it might be too much I don't
know it might be too much for me to handle I'm already going to think of him
every time I drive that car going to be
like ah Nicki V
for those of you that don't know which is probably not very many of you but um
Linus's car uh the super Civic or the
lambo as it's called was custom custom
modded painted designed inspired by uh
the one and only Nikki V yeah there it is there it is my
friends all the uh all the modifications he even replaced my windshield wipers
cuz he was like these are straight up dangerous yo
like these are not wiping your windshield
anymore painting the uh painting the racing
stripes so epic so epic yeah we we created a lot of
memories together
it's really funny sometimes I forget how
do people still look at it the same way or do you think it's like kind of known now I I no I was about to say sometimes
I forget how like ridiculous the car I'm
driving is and then like I'll drive past a
school and kids will start like cheering like what are they cheering oh oh right
oh it's the watermelon car oh it's that car again yeah so uh
uh it is with uh it is with a heavy
heart that I that I make that announcement got people asking what's
going to happen with Channel Super Fun Channel Super Fun's actually kind of up
in the air for a number of reasons um
not anything to do with like it's all it's already been up in the air for a
while um but we're really not sure what
to do with it like it's um it's at the
point now where instead of being fun it's kind of stressed ful to get them
done so an option could be to just like
not have an upload schedule for it yeah like to just do it whenever um another
option that I've proposed is still
having it be a weekly upload but just limiting the editing time down to pretty
much kind of cutting together some fun thing that we did and making making it
more about us just kind of going and doing something fun for a bit and less
about making a video that's fun yeah um so I'm I'm really just not sure um
yeah I'm not really sure where we're going to go with
that but uh that's that's where we're at
a lot of people are saying RGB the Civic RGB the Civic yeah that's illegal yeah
we'll we'll see we'll see I might I might I might want to leave the Civic as
is yeah in honor of Nikki V yeah
so all right well that's pretty much it for the W show for this week um I guess
we will see you guys again next week same bat Time same bat Channel if it's
all the same to you guys I have a big trip to Taiwan that I'm leaving for
tomorrow and I'm like pretty freaking tired and like actually haven't had a
great couple of days um oh yeah I wasn't
going to really do an Afterparty though no I know but we should show stuff yes
and things yeah for those of you who are not signed up for float playing Club
um come on guys get with the program we
got a lot of great stuff over there so you can get the next episode of
scrapyard Wars hold on I'm just uh I'm
just trying to remember which one is the right one I
think I think this is it um I'm trying
to log into
H log into this account oh no that
wasn't it um
dag nabbit best plane oh no I know what

h no wait oh is that what oh oh oh oh
yeah that that's the that's the problem that's the
problem cool all right so let's have a look and I actually have just been
slammed I don't even know what's up on Floatplane right now so we've got uh LT
be as cool as Casey neat boosted board
2.0 review featuring none other than the
legend himself tan vanhemert who is not
