yeah and i've you can really see this like epic dent i have on my nose right
now because uh i actually don't remember if it's from
james dropping a sound bar on my face or if it was from something else
but like i got hit in the face how does that a couple of times okay so because
don't sound bars usually get mounted low
no no i mean he was holding it
and dropped it on my face
why okay so i will admit that this was
at least partially my fault and i'm not like i'm not victim blaming you know i'm
not explaining yourself well i provoked him
i wore clothes that made it look like i wanted a soundbar i should have known
that when he gets a sound bar in his hands
you know i better steer clear um so i'm not i'm not saying that at all
i'm saying that it was actually a a
coordinated effort to capture a shot
that okay i actually was at least
of a sound bar falling through the air like well the sound bar was supposed to
fall into my hands okay so the idea was because it
was difficult with the framing of the shot for james to just like i mean so
imagine this i'm sitting here hosting a video to you right now and i want a
sound bar to fall in my head he can't just stand right there because then his
butt's taking up the whole frame so he's he's standing like kind of behind me and
like off to the side and it's kind of our story and it's kind of hard to hold this thing and it's also hard for him to
eyeball where exactly is down
now i think it was a team fail um
over killington says your nose is really big huh
yeah so it's funny uh you know i'm gonna tell a different story now because i
remember having this conversation uh
with my mother at one point when i was in high school
and um i said something something
something yeah i uh i i took the picture this way like from
the front because from the side you can tell i have a really big nose and she
goes you don't have a big nose and i go yeah i do and she goes nah no that's not
true and i go all right watch
and she goes wow you've got a really big nose i went yes i know thank you i i
told you i have a big nose i don't need you to inform me i have a big nose
i'm well aware of the situation that's amazing anyway so back to the back to
the sound bar fail so james is holding this sound bar above me and it's kind of
hard for him to line it up in his defense he also didn't do an amazing job
okay so the idea was i'm leaning forward i'm talking about this other sound bar
and then i'm supposed to kind of lean back and another sound bar supposed to fall
into my hands now i also didn't lean back
as far as i could have because i was a little bit concerned about leaning out
of the focus of the camera and it and like when you're
trying to pull off like a like a coordinated shot like you know when you
do the like here um uh uh uh here here here madrina is one
of our sponsors today so here like taking madrinas and then like you know
like hit me with it boom like when you're trying to pull off
the like the no look like uh yeah we got that we didn't even look
um well sometimes you don't look can you get hit in the face with a sound
bar so it hit you like on the nose so yeah
so it came down like this so it was really close so yeah so i did well it
wasn't that close because um as i as i
outlined before the and i had a conversation with my mother once about
this something could hit me in the nose and really not be that close to my face
okay your nose isn't that big dude it's big enough that i remember having it's
not a small note okay i remember having a conversation with my
wife about this once where um i was saying like oh yeah like my my face is
gross right now i've got like these breakouts and she's she's got far worse
breakouts than i do like as a general rule uh
no like she doesn't her skin's not as it's mine which is what it is most
people don't say that about their spouse yeah but you know what it's good
to have okay Linus relationship tips for a moment
here it's good to have a relationship where you can be honest with each other
because yeah see but this isn't being honest with each other it's just being honest with like hundreds of thousands
of people i tell her that to her face no i know yeah but you're also broadcasting
it to the i guess so i mean but they have eyes you know it's not like she's not
like why do we deny reality
reality is important oh man so anyway i was happy so i was so i was complaining
about it and she's basically like you know cut your whining because
your skin's overall pretty good and i'm like well no the thing that's so
frustrating about is that i can see it and she goes what do you mean i go well
it's on my nose because what you can see your nose i'm
like yes my nose takes up a significant portion
of my field of view really yeah like i can like i can i can so okay so i can
see let's let's go with my right uh okay with my right eye i can see all the way
to the very edge of that light okay okay so where my nose sticks out i
can see about to the mic stand
so like you know the effect where you hold your finger in front of you and you can see through both of the two images i
have that too like i think everyone can see their nose if they
no because she's chinese so she has a flatter face
yeah if she tries she can't see and her nose is her nose is small yeah like
maybe a little but not as okay not nearly to the same
degree but with both eyes open if you're not thinking about it you don't
generally see your nose no but if there's a red mark like right here it
makes it a little it's really noticeable okay it's like really noticeable yeah
people are like racist no no physiology
is not racist it just
is what it is i don't i don't make the rules um all right speaking of making
the rules let's go through uh some topics what do we got today yeah yeah uh
Intel 10 nanometer ice lake more delays
delay until 2020. is Intel ever i don't know if this is more delays or a
clarification on it previously i don't know if it's more delays on ice lake
necessarily but Intel has definitely delayed some stuff over the last couple
of years no but yeah yeah that's what i think this delay has already been like
realized and we're being like okay this is the date that it's actually coming we
knew it was delayed their stocks dropped seven percent today i think meanwhile
AMD's picked up i think 17 yesterday speaking of the next topic AMD reports
best quarterly profit in seven years which to be clear
when your best quarterly profit like
really only has to be like profitable you know
it's good though it's good news it's good news uh there's a rumor uh NVIDIA
next gen card details apparently leaking
so jensen did go up on stage saying there's no new gaming graphics cards
coming but uh usually when the leaks start coming this
hard and this heavy that's an indication that what he said
might have been a big fat um what's the word
that is not no no i don't want to be disparaging uh oh big fat statement that wasn't
entirely based on facts given that he's the ceo and he
knows what's going on presumably yeah and have i allegedly
ah yeah as long as we're throwing an allegedly i actually didn't realize that
stephen colbert has been doing the allegedly thing like years before i
started doing it oh really i thought that was our joke so did i yeah he does
allegedly like all the time i don't have which is fine hbo i'm actually okay with
coming up with the same joke as colbert and his writing staff sort of professionals and they have a
very large writing style yeah uh i think that's all we need to call
out yeah oh let's roll the intro boom oh where is it boom
actually um actually
it's new plus Linux or i've as i've been calling or whatever newsletter
you saw you saw yeah sorry gnu you saw wendell's actually
no i actually haven't yet it's open on my computer i haven't been able
to watch it yet oh no he pulls in so busy we actually like scripted in a well
actually and he like explains the whole gnu plus
Linux blah blah blah thing it's it's it's pretty great and the funny thing is
like there's gonna be Linux fanboys out there that are like yeah you tell them
wendell but those are the same kinds of people that
proudly refer to themselves as pc master race not realizing that that
whole thing was a um
was supposed to be a jab at the people who feel that like that's the whole
origin of it was that it was like a uh oh man the words failing me escape
escape no no not sarcastic not not uh
oh i thought you were trying to say what the source was not facetious no i'm just
i'm just trying to figure out what the satire yeah it was supposed to be a satirical thing like you were being made
fun of um so so anyone who was like yeah you tell him wendell
you were actually the butt of the joke
i mean we actually talked about this while he was down here
just like the biggest problem with Linux in a lot of ways
this is the second time that i have heard about you independently having a
conversation with him that mirrors an exact conversation that i had with him
separately without either so he just
happily went along with that happening twice so funny
like the biggest problem is that
when you love something so much and that's what a lot of the Linux community
does they love Linux so much definitely and to be clear Linux is a good thing
it's good good thing to love but when you love it so much that you can't see
the flaws then that's where you start to make it hard for other people to share
your love like he was installing something and i was like
so no one's gonna put me in charge of Linux because
no one is strictly speaking in charge of Linux um
no one's gonna put me in charge but if i was in charge this whole nonsense where
you go on like a github page copy a string of text and then paste that into
like a terminal prompt to install software
that's got to go that's super gotta go
like how is this it's the year is 2018 the year is 2018 this is a
graphical operating system for a lot of things there are more mainstream
alternatives to that yeah there is like an app store style
thing on many of the distros and you can install
them because it's Linux if you're on a distro that doesn't natively have it i mean even the whole
thing with there being so many different distros so if you're trying to i mean
this is something that i was talking to one of the writers about in my office we
were we were reviewing a script and we were just chatting about how frustrating it
is to have to deal with product names that
are all either very similar or the same so when you're trying to find
information on a on like the macbook
like the 20 i guess it was a 2015
so if you don't oh yeah if you don't know to search for
2015 macbook non-air or like whatever or like as a
search provider don't like if you're google and you're trying
to figure out what macbook someone is looking for they do a
pretty good job they do a pretty good job but if they're trying to find like a
fix for a weird bug or if they're trying to find something like a tear down or an
upgrade guide or or a replacement part or something stupid like that
how difficult that makes life i mean
to the average person and i feel like
that's another thing that a lot of the very techie community loses track of to
the average person there is no awareness whatsoever that
Linux is anything other than Linux they don't know arch devian
cento they don't know any of that stuff it's just Linux so if you were to try to
search how to install program in Linux we should try it let's let's do it right
now how to install program in Linux i'm
going to assume that there's going to be like alternate stuff all right here let's hold on the
screenshot let's have the experience in bracket link bracket
beginning which is pretty good a lot of people will be running this let's get let's give it a shot beginner geek how
to install software on Linux works differently instead of visiting a
website you'll usually need to grab the software from your Linux distribution
software repositories with its package manager i'm already dead
if i am if i no if i'm an average user i'm
already like okay i'm done
because but realistically that is saying like
it's actually quite easy you're going to use the like app story kind of thing yes
it's just like it's called package manager so people are automatically gone
that's where you lose them from install software from your distribution's
repositories ah i mean the the reality of it is is
like we we we live in this sort of this bubble where we just kind of go well people
should just people should just learn the lingo but it's funny because whenever you try
it try stepping outside of your usual comfort zone which might be tech
and go to a hardware store and shop for a tool
or go to a makeup store and shop for makeup there's gonna be the the guys
that know all the hardware stuff and are in this space and there's gonna be the people that know all the i should have
said people for both i'm sorry don't don't be mad uh the the people 2018
honest mistake sorry i
the current year thing oh right oh jeez oh geez
see the problem is that we're just used to old dogs means nothing just uh
bulldogs can't learn new tricks like i try to say like five words and we've
been here for a minute it's just getting i'm so sorry
okay the the people that know both of those camps are gonna jump into chat and
be like but i know both right but my point was to pick one that you don't
that you don't know yeah you know walk into a textiles store
like uh i don't know fabricana or something
and and what you'll find is that quickly it
becomes like 17 different words for plaid because they're technically
a little bit different and that kind of stuff is actually not that simple
or necessarily good use of your time to
learn when all you need that piece of
fabric for is to make a makeshift tablecloth yeah
you know so you don't really care in that so if if all you really care about
doing on your computer is reading your email you actually will never care what
a distribution repository is and you will never care that you don't care and
you know what that's actually fine because everybody has different
interests you know there are actually i'm not going to get into like you know
all the different words to describe wine because i could
that would probably become a different conversation but look up look up uh two
buck chuck winning the blind wine taste test competition because that is a
hilarious thing that happened have you heard about this whole story i
think you've told me about it in fact i think you've told me on WAN Show but
we can we can we can let people we can let people tell us whether they want to
hear it again or not yeah yeah um it's great you can you know what do the tldr
do the tld so the tldr was there was a blind taste testing thing i don't
remember if the people doing it were were people who were trying to become
like wine reviewer people or if they were already wine reviewer people and
they had a whole bunch of different values of wines and two buck chuck is
you guessed it a two dollar bottle of wine and it won the competition because
because wine is bs basically
oh man in my in my opinion and apparently the blind taste test seems to
agree with me but i have heard from some wine people that there's also examples
of the other way so i don't know who knows um
oh someone wants to know where to get my water bottle
because it's huge amazon it's actually not that big but it's one of the vacuum
what you need to do is just write Linus tech tips on it in black in all black
and then just sell them we totally should except that by the time we marked
these up even like enough to cover receiving them
labeling them and then shipping them back out the door they'd be like 60
water bottles i don't remember how much this one was
it's like it's like 25 bucks or something like that 25 or 30 because
it's vacuum sealed it's big it's got a nice wide mouth it's uh
stainless um yeah i actually i'm very satisfied with this water bottle would
happily endorse 10 out of 10. imagine this type of like print in black like
all around the box that actually look pretty cool with like one little bit
that just has like a safe zone around it it says oh we're working on some stuff have you
seen the new uh the new concept for a new hoodie
no but that's exciting yeah um it's
okay once we matter like a lot more i want to get Floatplane hoodies so okay it's not
um it's not like it's not like the wan
hoodie like it's not necessarily a tech
hoodie that's fine but it's way more modern in terms of
like the design what
well who cares if it's not final oh wow
okay so a why are you whining about this nick i'm
talking to nick up there he can hear me because he's streaming and b why are you
watching the lan show at work okay do we watch podcasts while we're supposed to
be working nick yeah that's what i thought
um all right so let's i will i will respect his wishes
at least until such time as he has provided me with a very compelling
reason why uh why why i should why i
should listen to him d s d s r
d s r t f x geez man your name uh says
then instead of calling it a package manager literally just call it the app
store or the Windows store it's the same thing that's the point yeah but you can't do that yeah because like if you
start calling your app store the app store apple is going to be down your
throat and up your butt at the same time with their entire legal team but like
you could call it something that would make sense and would be fine but they
won't yeah and the other thing too is that it takes
and it will probably hurt the Linux culture like people won't like it and it
actually takes a lot of uh it takes a lot of branding it takes a lot of actual
marketing to get people to to
get comfortable with something like the number of times that people have to hear
app store to suddenly have that be like that's the friendly sounding version
instead of you know application marketplace or whatever yeah yeah but
you could shorten that you go app marketplace like when google change or app market when google changed to play
store yeah uh what was it called Android market before something like that that
was a big deal yeah and and the stupid thing about it the
stupid thing about it is here i am giving the tech community a hard time
about not being accepting of friendlier ways of naming
things and doing things but i had the exact same reaction when google called
it the play store i was like mad
i was like okay what was wrong with the way they did it before i don't i don't
play an app if it's not a game
that was seriously like pretty almost word for word that was what i said okay
to be fair i literally remember this because we were both really angry about
it and i think at that point in time what we were angry about was that i
think we thought it was like just for games basically
because it was actually kind of confusing when it first came out right
so it had but it had apps at the time yeah the things that they didn't have
yet was the the deep collection of movie
music and music and tv show content that
now in hindsight
almost makes it look like google knew what they were doing with a branding
thing but i'm afraid to i'm afraid to be too sure
i'm afraid yeah because i don't i don't know
um appstorant oh geez oh people are giving
us suggestions the app store with a zero
yeah i know right um the hack store no no no no
the get app and go okay this is the problem with letting
like when you let software engineers name things
git stores that's that doesn't help that doesn't help at all
get store no oh man apt store the apt
store is not going to make it better the sudo store that no yeah well it would be
sudo so okay actually okay you're more you're more in tune with the Linux
community than me it's super user due but is it sudo or sudo do you pronounce
it the way it's said a lot of people say pseudo but i think
but isn't that short for sudafed like isn't that a problem but it's it doesn't
matter what the like a lot of people it it is sudo but a lot of people say sudo
like i say sudo but it's sudo okay so this is this is similar to the jif
argument i think a little bit less so because
that's just completely bs
and this one is like it actually makes sense i don't say
i don't know i mean this uh this show right now has pretty good graphics right
now that's what i mean like you don't say it that way that's so dumb that
makes no sense at all but it is actually super user due so that makes sense it's
just kind of nicer to say pseudo we've got people
who's who says uh oh i'm adam i can't read that
it's pronounced hef
sure yeah we should just go with if it's got a
silent g i mean we'll follow the same rules that like modern graphics store
that's what they should yeah modern parents right because it's just like no
my son's name is steve and it's spelled it's got like a silent j in it or
whatever and you're just like you know steve already had a perfect i'm
sure i'm offending someone right now but this is like a delta steve already had a
perfectly good spelling that everyone fully understood
and was familiar with like you did not have to reinvent the wheel it's not one
of those names like uh like Linus where no one knows how to spell it in spite of
the fact that it is 100 perfect phonetically
it's just people spell that wrong i have literally had my name spelled
in front of me while i'm watching and i don't correct it because i don't care
l-i-o-n-e-s-s
and i'm just like is that a thing that makes any sense a
lot of slot oh wait an eye like a lion a lioness i
didn't hear the eye i thought it was lana in their defense i like lawness
i've had l-i-n-i-s which could somewhat be
justified i've had l-i-n-a-s line-ass
okay yeah line ass wow but um
nice
i i forget where i was going jeez i so
some people i worry with my first name sometimes when i was younger it happened
a lot more often it doesn't happen very often now but if i was in quebec or something would happen all the time
you see yeah because your last name is french i might get it
if anyone spells it luc it's not their fault even remotely
like i would expect more people to do it that way because of my last name it just
doesn't happen that often line ass tech tips
like the dirty tech tips um
all right so oh yeah tech should we do a topic i guess i mean we're kind of at
the sponsor spots are we you know what should we just go full
c zero copyright kt's here and uh
do you see do you like that you like that sponsor friendly uh
monetization enabled
way of doing that um yeah you know what yeah let's just go
full tease and uh and not do a topic yet so we've got a lot of sponsors for you

oh boy it's genie dot us slash small i small h big j small a big
b so that was elegant or luke is going to play
in a minute i'm like that's not going to work at all
wait wait wait wait what did he say no crap there you go there you go it's
linked there we go fantastic all right do you want to do another
topic four points we haven't done one yet no no let's do it let's do a topic
oh wait no scrap yard wars is on Floatplane yeah
um so if you're a fan of scrapyard wars
you're going to want to go over to Floatplane.com sign up for a subscription uh it's gone it's got
episode two already and then it's gonna get episode three on
saturday yep so that's gonna be good stuff you're
gonna want to check that out um have you been watching
i actually i'm not caught up right now
i know neither am i i know i'm halfway through the second episode so i've been
traveling and the waifu and i like want to get the popcorn and watch it together
so between between
the craziness that has been going on in terms of like work stuff at Floatplane
lately because there's fun things happening and wedding this weekend it's
been like wow oh yeah i will watch it aren't you like
the best man and stuff i am and i have a giant sword it's awesome
like actual though like it's made out of steel and stuff for what um is it like a
spoiler if you tell me or it's a little bit but i doubt anyone
that's gonna there's there's like okay so my parents
already understand it and the only other person that i know of that's gonna be there that's going to watch this already
knows the whole thing so best man is a bit of a truncation
it used to be best swordsman really and the idea was that the best
swordsman wasn't it wasn't your best friend it was the best person in your
circle of people at utilizing a sword
and it was for very practical reasons because back then you used to more or
less steal your wife
or someone might object to you marrying
that person because it might be in a form of trade i object and then schwing
let's go and it would be your best man as your
champion basically your best swordsman would be championing wow yeah
and back in the day you know how there's the
ceremony then there's a reception there's there's actually quite a bit to it but you know how there's a ceremony
and then the reception this is just kind of a funny part during the reception the
bride and the groom would go off to consummate the marriage and they would come back and everyone would have dinner
it's not really how that works anymore i mean you could probably pull it off
like technically a lot of people go off to do a photo shoot that photo shoot
could be very naked it could it could it definitely could yeah it's just not
generally done anymore yeah yeah but at that time the best man
doesn't hang out with the other people the best man goes with the bride and
groom but not into the room he stands guard
outside the door he has to do that theoretically no
that's good the whole thing is more there as like a joe yes it would be um
but yeah you stand guard outside the door because until they've
completed the the consummation the the marriage isn't final so someone might
try to come and steal the bride before that happens
so you have to stand outside the door and guard them
there's a lot there's a lot more to it if you want to go down a really weird
path a very funny path of history you can look it up
but i'm bringing a sword kind of as a joke it's not like a super serious thing
yeah got it thank you for that that was
both disturbing and enlightening i appreciate it
all right so let's do a tech topic then uh cj09
beera posted this on the forum the original article is from
overclock3d.net but it looks like Intel may
have delayed 10 nanometer ice lake
what 20 20 wow dang i think it's 20 20 for server
and i thought it was 2019 for consumer something along those lines
here yeah we can have we can have a look at this here so someone in the chat said
swords are heavy luke yeah it's also um
if it's on the ground it goes up to here on me really it's it's anderil
it's the reforged sword it's aragon's blade from what are the
rings of course it is heck yeah and it's like full steel tang throughout
the entire thing it's not like you could sharpen it and it would be very very
real it's not sharp though okay
it's freaking sweet anyways
so um we're not getting ice lake and okay
whatever we're not getting until sometime
in 2020 i guess is the point so
Intel has already acknowledged oops Intel has already acknowledged that
they're going to lose some server market share to AMD and their epic architecture
are their epic processors based on their zen architecture
but this is looking pretty
pretty bad this gives AMD like a full looks like over two years to steal
market share from Intel and in the server space if AMD had a performance or
a cost advantage or even a significant technological advantage
for let's say six months or even 18 months
Intel probably wouldn't care because what a
lot of consumers don't realize is that the lead times on this kind of
technology these kinds of products and the development process is very long so
if Intel had a product that they were shipping let's say today right now mid
2018 that was serving the needs of their
customers reasonably well and AMD launched some kind of disruptive
technology today Intel is already working on like they
wouldn't have a roadmap for these processors if they weren't doing work on
them so they're already working on the tech that they're planning to launch in
2020. yeah now if AMD's compelling performance advantage
um got you know i.t departments or sysadmins or uh supercomputer architects
got them looking at it and Intel could say
hold on you know we're we're working on something by 2020 we'll be ready um here
we'll get you some stuff early so that you can make sure that you know you're
not delaying your project too much um inspect so you know how much the heat
you're gonna have to do so you can you can build out all that other stuff buy the cpus at the last minute will have
volume ramped up by that time something like 18 months for a project
like that wouldn't be an unreasonable amount of time to ask someone to wait
the problem is that AMD launched zen
what a year ago it's been a while it's been a while AMD launched then i think
it was about a year ago so now
AMD is in a position where they have a compelling offering
not just for a short period of time but for a long enough period of time that
the managers or the procurement officers or whoever's working on sourcing
slightly over a year ago for their server hardware has had a while to look
at it see some smaller deployments go out in
the field and start to build out a new large
project around it and then now that Intel's announcing remember we're a year
into this that there are going to be delays well now they're starting to look
you know unreliable whereas AMD has been
hitting their targets now to be clear epic's not perfect uh it
does have some issues virtualization on AMD's and architecture was a big problem
especially right at the beginning but Intel has its issues too and those are
the kinds of things that on a project by project basis depending on what you're doing with the systems might make you
lean towards one or the other the big thing here is that AMD looks
like a legitimate option
and looks like they've got an enough of a road map that
you might want to start planning long term around them so that is
really bad news because while Intel might be
pretty happy to collect you know 329.99 us from consumers for our core i7
they would much rather take 3299.99
from businesses for large orders of many xeons shipped on
pallets for uh you know large deployments that's
that's better business so even though it's smaller in terms of per unit sales
it is much larger in terms of the profitability because the difference in
cost between consumer silicon and
commercial silicon is not as high as you might think
interesting
um in other news this is posted by sc2 mitch on the forum and the original
article here is actually from AMD themselves
bam Intel news release
AMD reports second quarter 2018 financial results revenue increased 53
year-over-year and gross margin expanded to 37 that means AMD is actually selling
products profitably uh we we actually i don't know if we
know how much of this um was buoyed up by the the mining craze
uh that has really slowed down significantly now yeah so uh
their net income for this reported quarter was 116 million dollars the
prior quarter was 81 million dollars that's both of those are really really
really great compared to where they're at a year ago which is where they had a
net loss of 42 million dollars so if you
consider the fact that they were negative 42 before
they're like 116. they're almost
yeah they're they're almost at over 150 million
more than they would have been yeah i mean like it's it's actually quite quite
impressive so dr sue released a statement um we had an outstanding
second quarter strong revenue growth margin expansion and our highest quarterly net income in seven years
that's uh that's like ceo speak for
we made something people wanted to buy oh yes we didn't have to slash pricing
to get people to buy it this is great
um most importantly we believe our long-term technology bets position us
very well in the future we are confident that with the continued execution of our
product roadmaps we are on an excellent trajectory to drive market share gains
and profitable growth so if AMD manages to make their fabless strategy
successful um Intel
samsung i'm trying to think of who else will
actually be left who does both chip intellectual property and actual
manufacturing you're just trying to list uh fabs and i was like there's quite a
few no versus focusing on fabs like a global foundries or a tsmc
or focusing entirely on ip like someone like ARM ARM doesn't build their own
processors but of course they are doing
super duper well in the mobile age of of low power devices thanks to licensing
their their designs to other brands like qualcomm for example to produce
processors at an actual fab so qualcomm doesn't actually fabricate anything
either NVIDIA doesn't fabricate anything you've got some of the world's most
successful semiconductor companies that don't
actually manufacture semiconductors yeah does micron still make ssds um so micron
is in a partnership with Intel and they
do nand flash but i don't believe micron would actually
produce the cpus so that's
sort of different i i would say dram and nand flash
manufacturing are kind of separate from ic manufacturing yeah um
just because and i'm i'm just basing that on that i don't think there's
anyone other than Intel that actually does both no samsung samsung as well so Intel and
samsung are in both games but as far as
i know they're the only ones that are left in both crazy it's actually quite different
compared to like 10 years ago NVIDIA's next-gen card details so this
was posted by atlas wraith on the forum and sources of course wccf tax so yes
it's a rumor but they're saying it's an exclusive rumor oh man they've got one
of the star wars edition cards that looks like is that the yeah yeah one of
the star wars edition cards they're just using that as a placeholder that is not
probably what the card will look like is that why you're questioning if it was star wars or not oh i just uh no i was
looking at um i was looking at this here and i
couldn't remember if that was what it looked like but then i saw the
is the the kind of looks like rebel alliance but technically it's the
whatever the jedi order or something that was so
stupid that whole thing galactic empire and then jedi order
even though they never i i did like a whole i did like a whole thing i pulled
people into the boardroom and i got like a slide up and i was i was yelling about
it it was it was kind of a bit for a video
uh but it was something that like the inspiration for it came from so so i get
up and i'm like okay so here's the timeline all right here's where the jedi
order exists here's where the galactic empire exists and we've got about a
sliver of overlap where you could arguably say that they both existed but
they're never in direct conflict with each other none of this makes any sense
why are these the two teams who even knows what the jedi order is
from a mainstream standpoint who knows what this is so i kind of go off about
it and the inspiration was that um i was
i was working on the script with someone about something okay and i went off into
a tangent about this and they're like this is hilarious we should just work
this into the video i'll tell you now Linus so a month ago
uh the writer here usman prasada and oh
there's another co-writer co-writer hassan
mujtaba i did my best i talked about how aibs would be seated
with NVIDIA's next generation graphics cards probably based on the touring
architecture sometime in late august
let's not try and read the article let's look at our notes provided by james instead
the name also one random uh sorry star wars thing they're uh relaunching the
clone wars animated series we talked about it last week and i i said on the
show i was like luke's gonna be so disappointed that he's not here and so disappointed that they're just like
wrapping it up as a fan service thing yep right
not only are they just wrapping it up but i am both excited and scared as
freaking heck because i have not enjoyed the new star
wars stuff under disney so like oh geez
and then none of that was disney they asked clone wars immediately when they
bought it they axed it part way through a season like you can actually find you
can you can get the lost episodes i'm not gonna talk about this for too long i
swear you get the lost episodes which is like a few of the completed ones
from that season and then you can also find the art and some of the scripts
for the episodes that they like didn't really properly do at all you can find
like unanimated scenes and stuff and like if i was the the clone wars team
and disney came to me and was like yeah so we want to like close it out but like
here's how we're doing it what are the odds that assuming that you
have found work elsewhere because it's been a while now
what a couple of years now so assuming you've found work elsewhere what are the
odds that you just drop what you're doing and you come back
yes disney i will come in and i will i will do it your way like i i gotta i
gotta imagine that it's gonna be a slightly different team working on this
i okay so i don't know this this is an
assumption that i'm based i have no source for this i'm extremely unsure
this is beyond rumor but i think the clone wars team moved on to rebels
okay and then rebel the reason why rebels feel so different is because
rebels has a lower target audience not because it's necessarily a different
team but i could be completely wrong about that
so aggressively don't quote me on that but
i think they might have at least the core people still around
all right so here's what's going on with NVIDIA's new lineup
wow this could actually be very bad news so
they are apparently they haven't decided on the naming which might not seem like
it matters that much because ultimately who cares is about FPS
but as a general rule it's not a terrible idea
when you create a product to have the name kind of make sense yeah um
um and with a graphics card really the main thing that we expect a name to tell
us is where does its performance fall in relation to other cards
so apparently they are actively considering suffixes like xxx five
for example uh gtx 1175
yeah um or gtx 2070 or 2075. now
that alone doesn't sound like that big of a deal unless the kinds of suffixes
they're considering are like 10 something five
where it's possible that we might get gpus that don't actually perform that
dramatically different from this gen now i don't think they would
like they've done that sort of thing before like the 275 launched way after
the 260 and the 280. yeah but that was similar architecturally i don't see them
launching a new architecture without giving it a clear new series but if they
used numbers that kind of seemed like it positioned them between older cards
i don't know if it would uh i don't know if it would surprise me
that much either because you got to remember if NVIDIA holds true to the
pattern that has been true since the gtx 680 we are not getting big touring
at the initial launch we are getting mid-sized turing so
a gtx uh 1080 ti is a very different card from a
1080. they they are they are they're more different than a 1080 and a 1070
are that's the way it works now 1080 ti is a big chip and 1080 and 1070 are both
step down mid-sized chips so we are getting the new generation mid-chip
which i don't know may or may not actually perform any better than last gen big
chip we're going to actually make a uh compensator
i don't know if we get a new big chip because we we kind of skipped three
sort of didn't we sort of i think so there wasn't a usually there's like a
very opportune moment well there's no four-way sli anymore yeah so that
doesn't help yeah well like isn't there for specifically
benchmarking reasons i always hate it when people do that though maybe but
it's really dumb stupid so that is cool
apparently it will initially have three power brackets 120 watt 150 watt 180 watt what's
interesting about that is NVIDIA has over the last
several years anyway gone with a staggered rollout for their
new lineup oh that piece was a little spicier oh
i'm fine one time the sweet sriracha yeah that
piece was a little bit on the spicier side it's good though actually
um so they've gone with a very staggered rollout so they've gone like okay here's
the high end then they're like wait a couple months okay here's the next one wait a couple minutes here's the next
one uh that allows them to kind of stretch out their pr coverage um yeah
keeps people from kind of getting bored of like this wave of gps news gives us
more stuff to talk about and then nothing for two years you know yeah um
but what this sounds like is that at 120
150 180 watt they might be doing a broader refresh and the reason for doing
that might be that AMD is actually relatively competitive at the 120 watt
TDP range so they might want to just go you know what forget it let's just go
bump and make life very very difficult for
our one competitor in the space all in one go
very interesting it is rumored that 1080 tim msrp will
drop by 100 and 1080 msrp will drop by 50 bucks this is also a solid indication
that the upcoming 1180 and 1170 i'm just using those as
placeholders um don't really perform that amazingly
differently than the ones that they are replacing yeah
we'll see
but potential price drops on 1080 ti and 1080. yeah that's never a bad thing
which happens pretty much every time it is never a bad thing we actually filmed
our macbook pro 2018 video today um so
there's gonna be more detail about this and that but
it looks like the throttling for the macbook pro has been fixed in macOS so
it came as an update to high sierra 10.13.6
and they have issued an apology to consumers who experience less than
optimal performance on their new 2018 machines
now they said that this was a firmware patch i'm missing the digital key issued
with this update but Anthony's testing shows no performance change in Windows
after downloading and installing this so it seems like it didn't actually make any changes to firmware and we'll talk
in a little bit more detail about that in our macbook pro video
oh facebook facebook stock crashed harder than any
stock has ever crashed before
this is posted by sc2 mitch on the forum
they were apparently sued today over a disappointing earnings announcement okay
i didn't know about that wow but it resulted in the loss of 120 billion
dollars of shareholder wealth making it the biggest one-day loss in u.s market
history apparently zuckerberg went down like two spots on the world's richest
list or something really yeah um have you heard of okay this is
i do not recommend going there
i would never recommend going there and it takes a bit of uh
willingness to read terrible horrible things
uh to be able to go there but there is a subreddit called wall street bets
and it's it's based around like all all stock investments is
essentially betting right but this is based around like hardcore
betting and their idea isn't like i'm going to invest so i can have a good a
good life leading forward their idea is like i'm gonna yolo so that hopefully i
either get a yacht or nothing and like some dude is 20 and made like
500 000 off shorting facebook
and he posted about it there there's also a dude who
had a 50 i think it was a 55 000 portfolio and it went down to 1.2 grand
because of this it's a really interesting read right now
just fair warning it gets pretty brutal
in in the comments and stuff so just if you have a weak stomach for people being
being vicious don't go there but it's really interesting seeing people who
bet super hard on stocks and then something like this happens and just
seeing what happens people losing their entire savings
people being completely set up for the entire rest of their life just like
it's every single threat is like whoa so
it's like a live stream of the high roller you know uh roulette table yeah pretty
much it's crazy it's a very crazy uh yeah
here's a rumor this was posted by aluminium tech on the forum and the
original source is nine to five google fortnite is coming to Android but it is
rumored that it will be a samsung galaxy note 9 exclusive what at first
they must have paid so much for that so
apparently it's going to be uh so the uh
note 9 which is set to be announced on the 9th of august with pre-orders on
august 14th and public availability on august 24th
looks like it's gonna have fortnite exclusively for a month and there's a
thread about this on the forum where people are like oh
what are they you know are they stupid they think people are gonna buy a phone just over a game uh
yeah oh yeah absolutely it's like people are
criticizing samsung okay you can criticize samsung all you want but
they're saying that samsung is stupid for doing this no and depending how much
they paid which i don't know depending how much they paid this might
be actually brilliant it's not inherently stupid it
could be stupid it could be stupid yeah like if they paid way too much money
maybe it's stupid but and remember this is a company that buys super bowl ads so
you know if they paid a hundred million dollars this is a far better promotion
than a super bowl ad if you want my honest opinion and one you were just talking about like it might actually
influence their decisions think about if you're on a contract how subsidized your
phone is it's just a bit of money right so it's it's probably like 150 decision
but they're all gonna be about 150 bucks or zero dollars you pick this phone
you get uh you get fortnite and you get
the decision between wireless akg
headphones which is sweet yeah you should probably go with that unless
you're a crazy fortnite fan the other option is a hundred to a hundred dollars
worth of v bucks 100 250 yeah sorry um and the thing the
other thing you got to remember is that fortnite has an enormous fan base so you
you've got friends that work at like mobile gaming companies right yes what
do you remember talking i know you've talked to them about it but do you remember what they said was the
percentage of the users that are your whales oh i don't remember the exact
number but it is very very small so
like less than one percent so when you've got hundreds of millions of users
though and you've got these whales that might
spend hundreds of dollars a month on the game to imagine that they might run out
and buy a phone so that they can play the game that month oh it's no question
remember they get a phone yeah i mean usually when they spend a couple hundred
bucks on this game they don't even get a phone yo i got a phone
cool like that is a no-brainer for the kind
of people that are spending lots and lots of money on digital
content for games like fortnite so oh yeah they're gonna sell some phones
don't kid yourself uh okay last topic for today apple will
fix devices damaged by japanese floods for free apple is buying themselves some
free positive publicity and uh hey that's a good thing one quick thing i'm
going to step in here with you just mentioned the like tiny percentage of
your users uh are the whales there's a there's a
really amazing story uh kevin lee co a
45 year old man from rockland california pled guilty to charges of wire fraud and
money laundering having been caught stealing 4.8 million dollars from his
employer between 2008 and 2015 uh
one million dollars of which
he spent on game of war the mobile game
one thing that blows my mind about this is imagine literally how many times he
would have had to click to buy something to spend a million dollars
like it literally would have been tiresome to like
spend that much money on in-game currency i'm surprised he didn't manage
to lose his job given how much time he was clearly spending playing game of war
yeah i mean okay no no i'm sorry i mean i'm sure he lost his job ignoring the
money laundering all that kind of stuff yeah it's like what was this guy even
getting done all day clearly nothing
a million dollars on game of war oh my goodness so crazy all right so um this
was posted by red round two on the forum and apple has announced that it will repair any iphones macs ipods or ipads
hey the ipod owners are getting some love that's nice that were directly damaged by the
devastating heavy floods that swept through japan this month well that's cool the flooding has caused hundreds of
deaths and the support goes against apple's standard repair policies which
strictly exclude water damage um so almost all of apple's main product
lines are eligible but accessories are not included and proof of ownership may
be required that's fantastic way to go apple that's very cool that's probably
gonna cost them a lot of money yeah love to hear that though speaking of things i
love to hear i'd love to hear that uh
that's it for this week i'm gonna go home oh you're gonna enjoy my weekend
we've got a place in badminton yeah yeah not this weekend but yeah very soon not
fine also i need to fix my back first and my ARM what'd you do with your back
and your ARM when are you not broken my knees are basically fixed no that's
not my point it was great my knees are almost fake so my lower back i think
it's my chair i've ordered a new chair okay the vlog we're still using that
horrible like i don't like spending money you told me
you were gonna order a new chair
it has been ordered literally shut up you told me you were gonna order a new
chair literally before Floatplane was founded
yeah before that project was even started so that probably was like
mid-2016 yeah yeah a little bit yeah
i ordered it now though it's showing up on august 6. i'm excited
what'd you get it's i don't want to talk about it is it expensive it's very
expensive is it herman miller yes
i talked to a whole bunch of ergonomic experts i talked to because my like oh
there's a history of back problems in my family too so i want to like solve it
and that's part of the reason why it took me two and a half years to order it
because i've kind of known the one that i should order for a long time
it's not the it's not the main one it's not the one most people buy but this is
the what the chair you'll use for the rest of your life right it has like a 25
year warranty or something like it's supposed to i mean i'm a firm believer
in buying one nice thing once yeah so the number of times that i have not
upgraded my wireless router since i spent a thousand dollars on a
ruckus access point has probably
gotten me about a third of the way there so far yeah
and i plan to continue to use that ruckus access point for many years
because even though there are new wireless standards coming that will be
faster the devices that i'll be able to afford
will if i were to buy something enterprise tier
will be consumer grade and they're going to have other issues and quite frankly i get so
on my blade stealth i was transferring files to my nas at 46 megabytes a second
yeah on my access point at home uh two nights ago
that is good enough for me on wi-fi if i need faster than that i will plug into a
network connection and i will get 10 gig because
you know yolo or whatever um so i'm a firm believer if you're going
to use something for long enough that you would have replaced it multiple
times with commodity garbage in the time that you use it then i consider that a
solid investment because you also have to pay yourself for the time that it
takes to go and buy a new chair several times assemble it go
shop for it figure out that you're missing a stupid bracket go back to the
store and go to the bracket wall and find the right stupid bracket then take
it home like there's there's overhead associated with
dealing with buying stuff even uh the biggest one i would even say is shopping
down time oh yeah down time's up because if your
router goes down especially for someone like you yeah like you just did the you did the angry
jaw movement and the eye roll like that's it's a problem it could be very very
impactful like i might not be able to get work done or i might be live
streaming at my house or something back in those days anyway if my router went
down i would live here until i got a new one which would be the next morning
because i would need one immediately like it's
so that's it for winchell thank you guys for tuning in
we will see you again next week we are actually going to be discussing
moving wind show to youtube whoa yeah
maybe we should talk about it on the lan show next week we'll maybe do some pros
and cons we'll talk to the twitch audience let's see what they think what about mirrored um so is that like
against everyone's policies i think so kind of it depends it depends all right
all right see you guys bye
