He's spending a day of lives at CES. We're trying to do a short right now, but he's tech-tipping on some
NVIDIA stuff. We're trying to shoot a short to summarize the NVIDIA DLSS stuff. He has to edit a
script, but he just can't help himself. He's just trying to fix computers. You know I can hear you.
Listen, I'm just trying to make use of the time that I have with you, you know? I've never tried to
force a particular model of DLSS upscaling. And for some reason, Borderlands 4 is telling me
that that is unsupported. So is this the way to do it, but it's just not working?
Hold on. Okay, we might have found the problem. There's also an update.
What's new? Okay, here we go. We did not have the latest game ready drivers. Tech tips engaged.
Okay, we'll be done in my private... This actually looks pretty good for a conference Wi-Fi.
3.2 megabytes a second. It's not setting any world records or anything, but my god,
I've tried to download stuff at the show before and it's been a nightmare. I switched to later
pants today. Oh. Is this for... Is this a floating? Yeah. Nice. So I was doing my, like,
trial at the fighting robot thing yesterday and instead of using controllers, they have us using
webcam-based motion control. That already is a little scary. It gets better. They're on facility
Wi-Fi that's kind of intermittent. And here's the kicker, and I mean this, literally, the server
that's doing the AI processing on the footage from the webcam is in Canada. Oh. Which is great,
Canada. It's a good country. Strong country. Northern country. But it's not particularly close to
Las Vegas, Nevada. So basically, you have three actions. You have to kind of stand in the circle
and you can punch with your left, you can punch with your right, and it's kind of a coin flip
for which hand it makes you punch with. And you can also kick, but during the trial, the test,
a lot of my kicks weren't getting registered, and my theory was that I was wearing dark pants
here today. Oh. I went, I put on lighter, my lighter cargo pants, and I'm hoping that when
I do my kicks, my robot will actually kick, because the kick looks like a way to win. They
nerfed the forward movement of the robot, and so you hold a joy con, and you got like a little
joystick. But he moves forward like this. Oh. Because apparently the next highest speed was like,
like way too fast, and they were very good, like lose control of them. So like, it's going to be a
whole lot of like... Rock'em, sock'em. Yeah. Brand new driver. DLSS 4.5, and this is all so that I
can just... Have a background. Have it in the background. I won't even be able to just like
flip back and forth like NVIDIA had with their hotkey in their booth, so that we can have DLSS
on in the background of a short, where no one's going to be able to tell the difference anyway.
You know what, let's get with the ol' reboot. Classic. On and off. I can't see your thumb, but I can't.
Oh, I figured out why the Wi-Fi doesn't start. It's right there. Those are really, oh my god,
these are really close together. Okay, that's actually why the Wi-Fi sucks. This is maybe like
2,000 square feet, maybe 2,500? Three thousand? Maybe? Anyway, the point is that three Wi-Fi access
points in here are going to be... It's a lot. I can understand why they do it, because there's
little sliding dividers here. Oh. So they have their own like hot spot for any like dedicated
group in here, but just having them so close together, they're all, they're constantly like
pinging out for devices, and then the more Wi-Fi devices there are that are just like,
hey, are you there? Hey, yeah, yeah, are you there? Are you there? We did that whole video,
how much Wi-Fi is too much Wi-Fi. It's worse with 2.4, like it's probably not the end of the world
with five diggers, but it's... Too much is just not ideal. Another point where I'm just going to
call NVIDIA and be like, yo, what the f***? Do I have to update the NVIDIA app or the drivers?
Because I installed the latest drivers just now. This is going to be a dumb question, because I have
literally never tried to do it before and never thought about it, but I cannot figure... Oh,
wait, hold on, custom. Okay, it just says latest. Oh, wait, what the hell is preset A, B, and C?
Goddamn it, you guys. It doesn't seem to have a manual check for updates button. Can you just
give me one of those? Because I couldn't tell what was going on, and then just eventually I got a
bar across the top. That's an update ready, restart now. I saw the bar now and it's rebooting the
NVIDIA app, so I suspect it's going to show up now, but for the love of God, just give me a manual
button so that I know that I'm checking for the latest or whatever, because I checked the opt-in
debate of features or whatever, and then it just didn't... Okay, thank you, appreciate that. Just tell
me I make it so that dumb YouTuber's can find it. Okay, so I had to opt into beta features, and then
it took a little while, and then it prompted me to restart the app, and then now it's just gone.
Let's see. I'm pretty sure it told me it was going to relaunch, but who knows? There we go. There we go,
we did it. So once this is done, we should be able to fire up the latest model. You pulled a
my dad works at Microsoft and move. Just call NVIDIA, directly NVIDIA. I don't know, man. This is
one of those things that there seems to be some people who are very confused about it right now.
There's like kind of a growing conspiracy theory that working with brands and communicating with
brands and like working on launch products and NDAs and stuff like that means that you're like
compromised, but actually a lot of the time it's way, way, way more about making sure that when
I'm telling you guys how to do something, I am telling you how to do it properly, and I am
representing their thing properly, because I'm still more than free to say I disagree or something
is I think is bad, but if I'm not evaluating it correctly according to how it's supposed to be used,
well you wouldn't like that either, would you? Right? And so I could just go on Reddit and try to
find out how to do this, or hey, time saver, I could just call NVIDIA and make sure that we're
doing things correctly. I don't know, man, but conspiracy theory is going to be a conspiracy
theory. It's been very interesting to see the extremely polarized response to our initial
show coverage on DLSS 4.5. There's like super hardcore LTT, obviously undisclosed sponsorship,
like on the one side, and then there's the like AI, DLSS frames are better than
native frames and always has been named, you know, and it's like guys, what if the world was full
of shades of gray and nuance? What if nothing was that supposed? Anyway, let's see if it's showing
up now. Unsupported. No, no, no, hold on, hold on, hold on, model, custom, okay, super resolution,
hey, there we go, presets L and M. Okay, he said both of them, I don't know which one.
Alpha Linus. Oh, sorry, Alpha Narcissist.
You were right, L is for general use, let's go. We're good. We're good. It's time to shoot a
short that no one's gonna notice in the background. Nice. Nice quality. A less than half an hour on
one thing. Just show floor things. You guys remember Cliff, right? He's been in our videos before.
I don't like him. This guy don't dials me last night. After midnight, after midnight,
he's like, these guys, they all say I don't even, I don't know you. I'm gonna put you on speaker,
I'm putting you on speaker, and he puts me on speaker, and I start being like, how did you get
this number? I told you to take me off your mailing list, he gets like so mad. I was like, bye.
No, you weren't, you don't even remember last night. No, I remember after you talked about it.
You did not, that's not remembering. No, like, I don't remember it, but after you talked about it,
I remember what I said. You didn't hang up on me. I can't remember you. No, you didn't.
Which one of us was sober? I actually functioned with not being sober.
I functioned better when I'm drunk. So I dropped the act, and I laughed, and then other people
believed him, and then he was confused when I told him the time it was, like, you're calling me after
midnight. No, because we were gambling. I don't remember what time it was. This guy, I don't remember
what time, but I definitely remember how the conversation went. There was like eight people
with me. We were on the cable. Anyways. CES man, it always do be like this. And better than you
breaking my laptop. That's only happened several times. Several times. Yes, yeah. We should make our
next mission to go find a silver pen so that we can correct their placard here now that we have
installed DLSS 4.5. Since there's like nothing to cover this year, we're already done with Panther
Lake. We already did AMD's announcement. We already did this, which is like, I don't know what else
is there. Samsung's got the big TV. I've got like three and a half more days. Listen, I'll milk you
for all the content. Yeah, I'll just I'll just have to find my own fun. I'll go around and correct
science. Completely tech it out. Oh, and so like we want like, like basically everywhere you look,
there's like, like you can game. That's cool. That's good. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but just tell them
Linus Tech Tips this year and then probably figure it out. I don't like playing the card,
but I also don't like wasting time. So you want to know a little bit about it? You know, yeah,
like a quick one. Yeah, I'm just curious. I just I don't understand what this has to do with their
like air jet. Hey, what's up? Sorry, I was just going to do one of these. That's all I wanted.
Yeah, I just wanted like the like 45 second version of what Liquid did. We have three demos here. One
demo showcasing our fundamental cooling ability. Right. And two other demos showing a live
demonstration of the cold plate or an NVIDIA roofing platform and a single dedicated laser.
So what makes the cold plate special?
So they want me over at the robot thing. Why do they need me so early?
Because I think everyone's waiting for you. If you want them to leave, then they can leave.
You have to tell Sean Caldero.
I'm so sorry. I basically, I don't know if you know about this, but I'm doing like the robot
fighting challenge thing. Yeah. Yeah. So I basically, I saw this on my calendar for two.
And that is until like six or seven. But someone told me, oh, they said you can go any time after
two. So I saw something, something robot something on my calendar. I went, what? Put this on here
for two. I'm going to go later. I don't need to go there right now. So I was taking my sweet ass time
like shooting some shorts with him and stuff. And finally, nobody messaged me. So Sean messaged
Sammy and he's like, where the hell are you? It's the ARM thing. And I'm like, what?
I'm sorry. No, you're totally fine. I wasn't even busy.
You know, things happen at CES. We're all flexible with it. I'll just feed you speeds and seats.
I wanted, I just remember we talked about the order of the video.
And I wanted to just run that past you again. Because I don't remember,
I remember you saying that you wanted to reorder it? Fast shoot, fast shoot.
That sounds great. About an hour after the time that's scheduled, right? Yeah.
Perfect. But was that it? That was the whole two to four shoot?
So two to four was the time, the flexible time that we had to secure after we realized you
were going to make it for two. Well, in that case, Sammy, do you want to do some more social
stuff before I have to go to the robot fight? Yeah, sure. We just finished recording our show floor
walk with Linus. Now we're going to head back, maybe eat and then battle block. What are your
thoughts on the CES first day Linus? Pretty slow show this year. Raptor, excuse me, Raptor.
Panther Lake is sick. The LSS 4.5 is low key, kind of great. From what I've seen,
from what I've seen, I mean, we haven't measured the performance delta on all their hardware.
We haven't looked at it across a broad variety of games. Actually,
Ploof and Pankrats were thinking maybe they should do like an immediate follow up to the
Skyrim modding video where they like mod it even harder. And I was like, guys, I don't know, like
sequels, that sounds cool. And we should do it at some point. But like back to back sequels that
you can risk fatiguing people or you can build momentum almost never anything in between. And
I feel like this might be a, this might be a fatiguing one. But hear me out if you guys wanted
to just like, you know, build some setups and like play a bunch of games and try a bunch of stuff,
DLSS 4.5. Like, look at a bunch more games, kind of really dial in the settings and see what you
guys prefer. And I think they're, they're going to spend some of this week working on that. So I
think that's really good use of their time. And the audience really loved that format with
Ploof and Pankrats just owning a display and talking about gaming. Did you see this? They
have food trucks. Is this new? I think it's new. I think it's new. This is more interesting than
the CES so far. So much more interesting. They completely redid the traffic flow through here.
They have food trucks. That is like, that is the single most exciting thing that I've seen at CES
in years. Oh God, one of them is AI powered. Forget it. Wait, what? Which one? Wait, what?
This is a good actor. He wouldn't even surprise me that much if there was one. I mean, it is CES.
Don't give me a little bit. I'll buy you a beverage if there is an AI powered one.
And then if there isn't, you owe me one. No, there isn't. There's stuff that's very similar inside.
These look like actual food trucks whereas those are like weird technology. I just wanted a free
drink from you. I like free drinks. Filipino barbecue? Like, God damn, this sounds great.
How is nobody here? What time is it? It's like dinnertime. It's like 4.30.
Crab corn? I kind of want to try to crab. In Las Vegas, the famously coastal city of Las Vegas.
Is it? What? Listen, I'll risk it. Don't do the crab. Listen, go home early. Go home early.
You won't just go home early. I think you will clock out early. Clock out early. A lot of things.
This is like grilled chicken barbecue. That looks sick.
Okay, so we have grilled chicken, we have flat infusion,
custom pizza. Okay, hold on. What time does the show floor close though? Uh, six.
4.30. We really should get out of here before it starts to get busy.
We can get something like a hot dog. What?
People who are on the rush to get out of here.
You can get the pizza tomorrow. Oh, dude, look at those hot dogs.
Okay, maybe they've had these barbecues today. Or do we order? Wait, I don't have cash today.
I have cash. Do you have cash? Yeah, I got you.
Uh, yeah, do you guys want to get something? Yeah. Okay.
I might get that one. You're gonna go for the barbecue beef brisket? I know you get brisket at home as far.
Is the pulled pork almost as good as the brisket? Okay, okay, pulled pork for me.
$10, goddamn. And that's America dollars. That's like $22. That's crazy.
$21.14. $21.14. Did you do the math already? No.
I lied. I'm like only 80% sure. I'm good on the price. Thank you.
Pretty good. You know what? You might have been right. I think the brisket looks slightly more tender.
Yeah. And with my drink, my $7 drink, $7, you paid seven Canadian dollars for that. You're crazy.
I didn't know how much it was and it was too late. I saw it, I'm like, it's too late now.
This guy, this guy, he's like, oh, well, whatever. I have a per diem so I can just like spend it.
Buddy, you get the per diem even if you don't spend it.
I love, I love my drinks. Sean got a hot dog. That looks good.
Bacon wrapped. Bacon wrapped? Bacon wrapped. Mexican chilies, you know.
Is that called like pork, pork? Something. It's tasty. No, it's like pork, something. It's pork.
Pig's a blanket. Pig's a blanket. That's what I'm thinking of. Thank you. Thank you. All right, first bite.
Mmm. That's pretty good. Very good. Is it worth the money?
U.S.? Nice. Solid.
Yeah. Oh man, it's hard to, it's hard to wrap my brain around this.
Like, I mean, it might have your pain for convenience more so. Yeah. That's how I see it.
That's the first bite.
Worth the money? I definitely should have gone for the brisket though.
Where are we going, Sean? You guys are going to Battlebots.
You're not coming with us? I mean, I could. So, I'll be honest with you.
It's a 45-minute walk so I would probably walk. Sure. Okay. Give me a second. I'm just gonna walk then.
I hate it here. What the hell, man. I'll take a photo after you. All right.
Now, can I get another photo with you where you slap the shit at him? All right. No. I'm not going to yuck your yum dip.
Dude, I'm going to show my dad what a father figure looks like man.
That's a fire quote. That's a fire quote. This seems like a thing.
Oh, I'm good. Thank you. Wait, do you guys have water? Oh, I see it.
I like you. It was about to start a tangent and then you just
will never know what he meant. It was a tangent to like the latch.
The magic is ruined for me now. They just have more than one.
Yeah. I actually haven't watched BattleBots since like it was on Comedy Central back when I was in high school.
I just always assumed that people had multiple backups. Back then, my understanding was that it was one and done.
You just had your one robot and if it died, you were cooked.
You were like, because you saw the looks on the faces of the creators of them. Like when they were destroyed, they were like
distraught. Oh. Like it was, maybe it's different now. I don't know.
I haven't seen how the new show works. I always feel bad with this like giant ass water bottle rolling up to like
one-tenth left. Yeah, thanks for all of your remaining water.
Now suffer. And also like Sean here is getting absolutely none of it chilled.
Oh, it's cool. Well, it will be because I just emptied the reservoir.
Like it doesn't cool it as it goes. Sorry, buddy. It's okay. It's carbonated. See, I could have, I could have left some for you.
I could have left some for you, but I didn't. That's what's called Narcissus right there.
I knew that video was correct about him. So I want to get one of those and just put it out in the middle.
That is beyond crazy. Vending machine printer. I need this.
We'll have to add it for Wanshell. Yeah.
Hey, can you get one and then just hand it over to us? I was going to say, man, if you didn't have the space and bust out, what would we do?
I don't know if I could get one, but is it sorry, is the it's the prusa pro just the model that's in there?
Or is it this whole enclosure? It's a whole enclosure. Oh, that's cool. It's their whole thing automated farm system.
I like what they did because they basically took what everybody normally does with single individual printers and been like, okay,
we'll just make one for industrial size and they did that. Yeah, just here. The bed's done. Stack it.
Oh, there the bed's done. Stack it. Yeah. Hey, the bed's done. Stack it. That's super cool.
I need that in my life. How big is it?
It's relatively large. Will they accept kidneys?
Well, because I'm wondering if we put it in the front lobby and then like put half the stuff that we have out there.
Why would you cut leg joints off of children?
Why wouldn't you? I mean, we can do it. Sorry. Sorry. We can do this.
I'm so with it. I only need one kidney to function.
What? Where would you get them? Why do you know this?
What? They don't need them. They can grow another one or something. They still got themselves, you know.
Hey. Yeah, what's this print more? Exactly.
I like that one. I like that one, to be honest. Which one? The one right from us, you know. The one of what? The nice shrine. Oh, yes. Oh my god.
Grow up. Six, seven. Six, seven.
How cool is this place? This is really cool.
This is 10 out of 10. This is nothing of 25 maybe?
I could see this as like a nerd's, a nerd heaven.
I don't know. I have no use for it, but I want it.
This is about 280FPS. Yes, it is.
I can confirm. I was told I'm supposed to wear glasses. Yes.
I feel like the operator is not really the person who needs the glasses so much.
Once you have it in your hand, we're allowed to shoot back. Right, right, right.
It just depends on how many rounds are coming and how quick. Right, right, right, right, right, right. Is there anybody over there? No.
We'll find out. Okay, cool.
So there is the latest authority prime. You want to get fancy with it?
Oh, a little low.
No, I didn't get the shot.
Crazy. Hey, no one said that we were allowed to uppercut. What is this? You're trying to give him an edge?
I tried to get them to let me do a spinning click a month ago.
Can you like see the vibe? It's really hard to see because it's just so foggy. I don't know.
Whenever they tell me to fight. Yeah, I'm not actually sure.
And we're in the whole time until I lose.
Nice work. I guess the guidance for a video tonight is frantically working on it before his call time. This is video?
Hey, yeah. Come on, everybody. What do you got? What do you got?
Thank you. Did this break? No, no, this is right there, right there.
How do you feel champion? The uploader is feeling good. That was awesome. A lot of fun.
It took me a while to kind of get the hang of it, but once I did,
when you start to account for the delay, I think there's at least a bit of skill.
It's still a little random. We saw that knockdown in the first round of my third match where I was like
boom, boom, boom. And then I like biffed it and like died. Yeah.
And that was two points for my opponent who I was like kicking the stuffing out of.
But you know, whatever, that's, you do it for the love of the game.
I think your doomer talking made me think you're going to lose. So you've seen you win was cooler.
Did you bet against me? Well, you kept saying, you kept saying you're going to lose. I was like,
did you bet against me, Sammy? I'm saying it's I'm broke now. The house is gone.
All right. Thanks for watching.
