1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,600
reacts to tech hot takes so that's right folks today I'm gonna be reacting to

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:11,600
some of the absolute worst takes from you guys courtesy of those of you who

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:17,400
were primary sex characteristic enough to share them on Twitter but not before I

4
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:22,400
share you with this segue to our but not before I share you on this segue to

5
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:32,400
our sponsor no I changed some words you put ballsy I said primary sex

6
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:41,280
characteristic I don't know the rules Jake man Android Auto drives me crazy

7
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:46,360
okay rolling around in my in-laws Tesla I'm like yeah I need to go somewhere

8
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:52,120
boop boop boop here I'm going man even in my car okay this is a portion right

9
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:59,080
touchscreen crazy unresponsive and it like takes away my ability to type if

10
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,960
I'm even moving a little bit my passenger can't even type something in for me

11
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,760
thank you nanny Android developers for making this thing less usable so that

12
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,640
instead I can use the voice interaction four times while it misunderstands that

13
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:20,680
I'm trying to call my wife that's not less distracting sorry sorry that got

14
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:27,120
went off on a little tangent there yeah discords it's fine

15
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:38,040
yeah yeah the IP the IP resolver tech the the technical issues with Skype were a

16
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,660
big part of it the the reason we ultimately stopped using Skype was the

17
00:01:42,660 --> 00:01:46,100
reason we ultimately stopped using Skype was nothing to do with the actual

18
00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:50,300
program itself but everything to do with vulnerabilities in the protocol if I

19
00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:55,420
recall correctly there was this tool called an IP resolver that people could

20
00:01:55,420 --> 00:01:59,980
use if they had your Skype username to see the IP that you were at so what would

21
00:01:59,980 --> 00:02:04,860
happen oh the reason the reason we ultimately stopped using Skype though

22
00:02:04,860 --> 00:02:08,980
was nothing to do with the functionality of the software and everything to do

23
00:02:08,980 --> 00:02:13,660
with some vulnerable the reason we stopped using Skype though was nothing to

24
00:02:13,660 --> 00:02:16,820
do with the functionality of the software and everything to do with some

25
00:02:16,820 --> 00:02:20,140
vulnerabilities and I think it was the protocol basically there were these

26
00:02:20,140 --> 00:02:25,240
tools called IP resolvers that assuming that you had someone Skype username you

27
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,420
could use to get their IP so whether you were gaming with people you didn't know

28
00:02:29,420 --> 00:02:35,500
that well or say hosting a live video podcast if anyone figured out what your

29
00:02:35,500 --> 00:02:40,660
user account was they could resolve your IP and DDoS you great and it took them

30
00:02:40,660 --> 00:02:48,700
years to fix it years all right all right Ian's elbow the lab will be

31
00:02:48,700 --> 00:02:56,420
profitable I mean we're gonna try but if it doesn't happen the reality of it is

32
00:02:56,420 --> 00:03:07,220
we've got other ways to extract value even if not money from the laugh yeah

33
00:03:07,220 --> 00:03:16,780
that's that's hard to hear motion blur I don't know what to tell you I knew

34
00:03:16,780 --> 00:03:19,940
people like this existed because it keeps getting implemented in games but

35
00:03:19,940 --> 00:03:24,420
damn it still hurts to read the one justification for motion blur okay is

36
00:03:24,420 --> 00:03:31,300
games that run at 30 FPS and you need some way to hide that awful judder as

37
00:03:31,300 --> 00:03:35,220
you're panning the camera around that's why it exists it doesn't exist because

38
00:03:35,220 --> 00:03:41,140
it looks good you've just been like gas lit like Stockholm syndromeed into

39
00:03:41,140 --> 00:03:46,340
thinking it looks good oh people are gonna be coming at me so hard for that

40
00:03:46,340 --> 00:03:54,140
one I will never miss Mike for USB you might as well tell me that I'd I would

41
00:03:54,140 --> 00:03:58,340
rather have proprietary different connectors for every brand of phone

42
00:03:58,340 --> 00:04:05,100
back honestly no honestly yeah at least some of them were decent hot take ten

43
00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:08,540
year old computer will work totally fine for day-to-day use you don't need a new

44
00:04:08,540 --> 00:04:15,180
one okay hold on a second let's have a look at this 2013 core I mean hold on

45
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:20,260
what would that be like a 40s 4770k

46
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:27,700
what's it what's a 20 2013 core I7 why did I nail it yeah you could still use

47
00:04:27,700 --> 00:04:34,340
a 4770k for day-to-day use I don't even think that's a hot take you guys don't

48
00:04:34,340 --> 00:04:38,500
even know what hot takes are most of these are either lukewarm takes at best

49
00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:47,500
or just dumb a hot take has to be defensible keep the lightning connector

50
00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:52,300
it's a lot more interesting to have low-end hardware with limits that you

51
00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:56,820
need to work around compared to playing with high-end tech I mean yeah that's

52
00:04:56,820 --> 00:05:05,980
you're right personally I don't mind playing with high-end tech I find high

53
00:05:06,020 --> 00:05:10,220
end tech pretty interesting I also find squeezing the most out of low-end tech

54
00:05:10,220 --> 00:05:15,780
interesting maybe we can agree to half agree low-end tech very interesting but

55
00:05:15,780 --> 00:05:20,220
I'm also into high-end tech app store fragmentation is bad on its own but

56
00:05:20,220 --> 00:05:24,420
countries will immediately start requiring their own bloatware countries

57
00:05:24,420 --> 00:05:32,100
will require it you mean carriers like it and stores to be pre-installed Russia

58
00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:39,820
tried that a few years ago and Apple told them to shove it Apple would still be well within their rights to tell them to shove it no one's saying that Apple has

59
00:05:39,820 --> 00:05:43,980
to preload these alternate app stores like I this these are just such straw man

60
00:05:43,980 --> 00:05:47,140
bad-faith arguments I don't feel like reading this guy's tweets anymore I'm

61
00:05:47,140 --> 00:05:54,380
sorry I'm done getting a 7950 x3d and a 4090 for eSports titles wait you are

62
00:05:54,380 --> 00:06:00,620
consistent FPS low frame times and 0.1% and 1% lows are game changers for

63
00:06:00,620 --> 00:06:09,500
gameplay and it uses less power do it not being demanding this means I know no

64
00:06:09,500 --> 00:06:20,460
no no no I know I think this is not serious that's that's not how any of

65
00:06:20,460 --> 00:06:27,140
that works yeah oh yeah this guy on his MacBook over here battery life yeah

66
00:06:27,180 --> 00:06:35,780
exactly it's pretty nice for a desktop though I have a hard time justifying

67
00:06:35,780 --> 00:06:42,260
macOS I don't really get it unless you really like terrible window management

68
00:06:42,260 --> 00:06:47,180
or you're like paying for better window management man every time I've done a

69
00:06:47,180 --> 00:06:51,900
Mac challenge how pissed off I get when I'm expected to pay six dollars or

70
00:06:51,900 --> 00:06:56,780
whatever like yeah it's not even it's a trivial amount of money it's just the

71
00:06:56,820 --> 00:07:01,860
principle of the thing I could have this for free on my PC why am I paying for

72
00:07:01,860 --> 00:07:07,220
this Darren hard question this isn't even a hot take what's LMG's

73
00:07:07,220 --> 00:07:10,820
environmental impact and what are you doing to counteract it are you going

74
00:07:10,820 --> 00:07:14,580
carbon neutral and if so when we separate all of our waste you know we're

75
00:07:14,580 --> 00:07:20,180
actually pretty diligent about that organic waste recyclables garbage like

76
00:07:20,180 --> 00:07:23,740
we actually pay extra so that we can have organic waste taken away separately

77
00:07:23,740 --> 00:07:27,940
and composted other than that I mean power consumption sort of is what it is

78
00:07:27,940 --> 00:07:33,460
I mean do you want us to turn the lights off Andy hit the lights is that a better

79
00:07:33,460 --> 00:07:39,180
video how do I look yeah I don't know what to tell you we're gonna use as much

80
00:07:39,180 --> 00:07:43,460
power as we has I kind of want to do like solar panels on the roof but the

81
00:07:43,460 --> 00:07:48,980
truth is that here in BC it just doesn't make any sense our power is so cheap

82
00:07:48,980 --> 00:07:53,220
because it's all hydroelectric and we get so little Sun that doesn't really

83
00:07:53,220 --> 00:07:56,900
make a dent top tier parts from nearly a decade ago are more than good enough for

84
00:07:56,900 --> 00:08:02,580
today oh yeah 100% 100% I don't know about on the GPU side depending what

85
00:08:02,580 --> 00:08:10,380
kind of games you're playing Windows 11 is actually decent yeah it's fine they

86
00:08:10,380 --> 00:08:15,100
got to stop breaking stuff with updates and whatnot but yeah it's fine team

87
00:08:15,100 --> 00:08:23,580
speak I'm the best mumble would like a word I was never a team speak boy

88
00:08:23,580 --> 00:08:28,900
mumble for the win even if it might be expensive I prefer to get most of my

89
00:08:28,900 --> 00:08:36,900
Xbox games and physical and digital kinds what like both physical and digital

90
00:08:36,900 --> 00:08:40,460
oh and by the way Nintendo puts older games on a subscription service on the

91
00:08:40,460 --> 00:08:45,260
switch to me is just awful I don't really understand your point 1440p is a

92
00:08:45,260 --> 00:08:49,780
lot better than 1080p and once you go high refresh rate it makes far far less of

93
00:08:49,780 --> 00:08:55,780
a difference the point of diminishing returns past 120 Hertz the returns past

94
00:08:55,780 --> 00:09:00,780
120 Hertz fall way off RGB is overrated if you want your room to be colorful just

95
00:09:00,780 --> 00:09:10,180
by a light strip this contradictory RGB is overrated if you want to buy it what

96
00:09:10,180 --> 00:09:22,580
are you even talking about ok I mean it's included on basically everything

97
00:09:22,580 --> 00:09:26,580
these days anyway I think it's kind of a moot point besides it's not like the

98
00:09:26,580 --> 00:09:35,100
light for your room is gonna cost any less yeah no they're cheap you buy

99
00:09:35,100 --> 00:09:38,900
RGB like the ones that Dennis got for his extreme tech upgrade those are dirt

100
00:09:38,940 --> 00:09:43,900
cheap it's becoming so difficult to damage computer parts these days that

101
00:09:43,900 --> 00:09:47,300
dropping them isn't a major concern strong disagree I speak from experience

102
00:09:47,300 --> 00:09:57,380
did it really oh that's right I won didn't I it's in the vault nice then the

103
00:09:57,380 --> 00:10:02,140
problem is that in order to get a bigger screen with 16 by 9 it gets way wider

104
00:10:02,140 --> 00:10:05,620
which means that it's harder for someone small hands to hold so no yeah the

105
00:10:05,620 --> 00:10:08,700
taller screens are actually better if you have small hands but you want extra

106
00:10:08,700 --> 00:10:13,700
screen real estate Shawn I liked 3d touch it's so much faster than haptic

107
00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:17,340
touch that's not even a hot take if there's anyone on the Apple side of

108
00:10:17,340 --> 00:10:21,020
things that doesn't miss 3d touch it's because they didn't understand it plain

109
00:10:21,020 --> 00:10:25,580
and simple I hate that thing where people just trying to put professionals in

110
00:10:25,580 --> 00:10:29,820
this little box what because Apple makes a bunch of commercials with trendy

111
00:10:29,820 --> 00:10:35,380
artists all of a sudden that's professional now MSN was amazing like

112
00:10:35,380 --> 00:10:41,500
tools that you just so far ahead of their time like the ability to appear

113
00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:46,500
offline man when they added a pure offline I was like whoa this is good stuff

114
00:10:46,500 --> 00:10:50,940
I love this Rocket Lake was good at launch with good cooling and good power

115
00:10:50,940 --> 00:10:54,580
supply in games and overclocked it was the best CPU on the market and easier to

116
00:10:54,580 --> 00:10:59,140
tune and get stable and blah blah blah named Rocket Lake and people only

117
00:10:59,140 --> 00:11:02,500
reviewed it stock and locked down overclocking was good overclocking was

118
00:11:02,500 --> 00:11:08,540
dog crap on Rocket Lake Rocket Lake was redlined out of the box are you running

119
00:11:08,540 --> 00:11:13,100
chilled liquid you run liquid nitrogen
