all right guys welcome to the W show the
what now lawsuit show the lawsuit show yeah there's going to be some lawsuit
topics today no one is suing us for being late all the time you know no
false advertising just going to say is how long we're when we're going to go
live is it false advertising if you're just actually a
failure um I don't know uh I mean this
is starting to sound like sort of Kickstarter territory
here so can you get sued for being terrible at
life maybe maybe it depends not a clear
answer there um however you can get sued
for saying a graphics card has four gigs
of memory if it does indeed have four gigs of memory but in fact uh an eighth
of it runs at a lower speed so NVIDIA has settled the graphics card false
advertising class action Microsoft also faces two new lawsuits
over their aggressive Windows 10 upgrade tactics are you going to do two of them
or am I going to do two more I'll do two more Verizon buys Yahoo for
4.83 billion it's too bad they spent so much on it cuz I was going to make a
play for Yahoo with my you know maybe 40
bucks that I got in my wallet that might not be worth it that I it was going to
be a tough call without that 40 bucks how would I go play badminton tonight
that or you you could buy 20 cans of pop and 20 chocolate bars and I could feel
really terrible the next day which is about how I'd feel if I bought Yahoo uh
also using a VPN in the United Arab Emirates could get you fine could make
you feel pretty bad speaking of feeling bad I almost missed that segue there uh
could get you fined up to $545,000 so let's run the intro which is
the only thing that I wasn't 100% sure if it was going to work today
yeah is the audio good I'm not sure
oh
uh okay oh crap oh I forgot to do one
thing I forgot to do one thing there boom now it'll work next time okay nice
good job oh there was an option to reset the
scene every time you left it uh no that that that is oh oh the whole scene so
you could save what the scene was like and then it couldt to it every time it
would be very specifically useful for us for that one scene I don't know that
xplit will Implement that but we've asked for features before and they've done it so all right so guys
with I it is with a a glad a glad heart
that I can reveal that I have finally resolved all the issues that I had with
the streaming setup here um we are using the Razer siren Pro which for whatever
you guys always complained that the audio was too quiet and I think part of
the problem is that we're using microphones with a cardioid pickup pattern as two people and so we we
couldn't turn them up high enough without introducing Distortion siren Pro
works well for sum reason in this application I don't know why the other
thing is that we had a mishmash of capture cards from Elgato a media and
Black Magic including cards from their deck link as well as their intensity
lineup um it seemed like from week to
week one or the other could be responsible for everything being
completely bunged up we are now Consolidated we are using all epiphan
capture cards um a combination of them and we actually have more input devices
now so I can do this with Linus' screen or I can do this
with Luke's screen who so we can both screen share now also
this is a really funny bug that I hey we can prove that we're watching the show
now oh yeah that's true cuz people will see the chat on my screen um H so uh
this is a really funny bug that I was having with the Elgato card was where it
would take like 8 seconds to switch scenes so I would bring up the uh I
would bring up the article that we were talking about and it would be sitting
there and I wouldn't be able to change to my notes on it and I would always
just have to kind of kill 10 seconds after I clicked yeah so uh yeah this is
a pretty interesting article that I'm planning to talk to you about but I
don't have any my exact notes here's some kind of you know thing that I okay
yeah blah blah blah here's what's going on yeah so we're pretty much solved as
far as issues go I'm super thrilled and
yes I got a sunburn thank you for making that observation I also got a spray tan
on the same day that I went out and got a sunburn are you sunburn on your face
oh yeah oh my face is like Wicked burnt like yeah I don't think my face is very
burnt well you yeah yeah I did everything I could
possibly do to not get sunburn including just putting a bucket on my head and
like putting my shirt on every opportunity I had and I don't even know
how much of this is spray tan or burn it's so hard to figure it out or Burn
yeah cuz I actually and this was really hard but I went home had a shower and
like scrubbed cuz I was trying to get spray tan off so I scrubbed a sunburn
when I got home from the shoot yesterday should we I scrubbed a little bit but
I'm not burnt as bad should we tell them what we were shooting and why your beard
is shaved why I have a how long till it's
going to be coming out it's going to be at least two to three weeks but should
we should we tease it anyway maybe we should tease it anyway I kind of think
so can we show the original I think we should tease it anyway I don't want to
show the original and get the monetization pulled off when show cuz
that'll probably happen Okay but we did
as close as we could a shot forsh shot
reenactment of the volleyball scene from Top Gun now mind you none of us are uh
treaded enough for it except for maybe lonus but okay the funny thing about
okay so we're talking body fat percentage when you say sort of shredded
in that cont that what that means in that context cuz I'm I'm not uh like I'm
not bulky enough but you look shredded that's what it's all you could you could
be jacked as [ __ ] but have too high of a body fat percentage and not look
shredded oh I see okay well so okay fine
I might be shredded enough but I'm just not bulky enough like in the picture is
he is Tom Cruz bulkier there he's bulkier there for sure um I kind of want
to I kind of want to twet this right now or something so that I
can um there's a picture of me with okay
I I'll just even Teran okay there's a picture of me with all three of the
other guys that are that are doing the volleyball game and I look tiny I look
like even though even again like even though my body fat percentage is quite
low I look like the pinest dude next to
burkel who I'm pretty sure has forearms bigger than my biceps I think well yeah
cuz I think my forearm might be bigger than your B yeah I think so and so
between the two of bur's like massive so Burl's chest is like huge chest could
probably bench press like by itself if
you give it he could probably bench with his pecs my entire body weight but like
not using his arms and Taran in the time
I've known him has completely changed like he was like the stereotyp and don't
take this the wrong way but he was he still has no Athletics athletic ability
so he can't use his strength but he's he's quite strong now but he
was like the stereotypical vegetarian
and I don't I don't mean that rudely in any way you know vegetarian diet there
are super jacked vegetarians there are lots of jacked vegetarians but it's like
the vegetarian from like the Dilbert comic like the caricature of a
vegetarian a super like to the tea stereotypical one yeah like the
stereotypical vegetarian the guy was like you know six or seven inches taller
than me and weigh about the same as I did it it was bad been very
intentionally putting on weight and very intentionally working he looks good he
looks good anyway so so I play Tom Cruz
Maverick um some of you have probably seen taran's picture on social media
where he he shaved oh man the pedo stash
is far too real actually I'm I'm going to pull this up just it's gone now and
that's probably a good thing it's gone now yeah he shaved it off oh oh he
shaved the pedo stash oh yeah yeah yeah that's fine no I I thought you meant his
his picture I doubt that's gone no I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure he tweeted a picture
here where's where's the P stash where's the pedo stash no I don't see it I don't
see it down maybe he took on the LT one
maybe he tweeted on the LTT handle I didn't put mine on the LTT one because
it's a CSF thing it's not LTD yeah it's the same reason I didn't tweet anything
yesterday okay oh I can't find oh oh I
feel like terrible right now like I really want to okay whatever you guys
get no no it's okay it's okay it's ridiculous so teran's goose
okay so um what's your character's name
Iceman Iceman IC Burl is is it slider
something I don't know I I don't remember anyway Luke and burkel are like
the like mean Rivals and then Taran and
I play Tom Cruz and and goose and it's
just bad The Twist is that we use an
inflatable volleyball that's like this big um um it
should be good it should be good stay tuned stay tuned I'm not making it sound
very good but maybe okay I think his name is either Stinger Viper Jester or
Merlin I'm not sure which one I am Iceman you're Iceman all right excellent
goose and Maverick were correct all right so let's move on to
some actual news topics here shall we the original article here is from
topclassactions.com NVIDIA settles graphics card false
advertising class action so they've
agreed to a preliminary settlement that will resolve claims in a group of
proposed class action lawsuits that center around allegations that the
company misled consumers about the performance B tweeted it and uh quote
unquote storage capabilities of its product though it should be noted that I
wouldn't call vram Storage I already
posted that I wouldn't call vram Storage in sort of the strict sense of the word
um NVIDIA says then that it will pay
every buyer of a GTX 97
$30 and they will pay $1.3 million in
additional an additional additional attorney fees so there you go we had
talked about this at the time we had said we felt like a class action was
going to be pointless what are you going to get five bucks you know what $30
looks is decent $30 buys you an appy and
an entree but not a drink at a
restaurant and I just order Waters yeah
I drink water too so that's a good like big probably going to take some home
meal yep that's right that's right that's going to be your dinner and your
midnight snack while you're gaming on your gtx970 which is still a very good
card yep so you know I we again I don't want
to beat this dead horse anym than we already have you know like pure ghost
loads out of that horse at this point um
but the 970 is still a good card they
shouldn't have done that no I think they deserved this yep definitely um I didn't
think it was going to work cuz I thought they were going to get away with in the
legal Court like there's technically four there and there are like and there
are that's the funny thing about it is they it is misleading and they do
deserve it I can't imagine they saved a lot of money building the card this way
I don't I don't feel like it would be 30 bucks a card because they did put four
gigs of RAM on it like they they they bought the the memory they they put it
on there so they actually had to pay for the memory and then they had to pay crap
pay out to their customers as though they didn't so now yeah I don't know
lesson learned right don't don't screw with the internet so the overall
settlement amount was not publicly disclosed within the court papers it's
going to be a lot but NVIDIA did say that there would be
no cap on the total amount it would pay and they would pay all consumers who
purchased a 970 graphics card I guess I don't count cuz mine are review samples
that'd be pretty sick though if we could turn in our 970 for 30
bucks go get some dinner some appies pretty sweet I mean with the amount that
we had would you get I don't think we had that many 970s at least two yeah we
had yeah 60 bucks and it's US dollars so
like oh dang yeah $600 what's up you
know um that is pretty sweet though and
I'm happy that it happened this quickly and I know some people are going to be
like what like this happened forever ago
but these things sometimes take like what was it ddr2 or something there was
some like $15 rebate or $20 rebate on ddr2 purchases oh I don't know and it
happened like 10 years later something insane there was an Intel one that was
like six or seven years down the line everyone got 15 bucks or 10 $10 or
something like so 30 bucks is I feel a pretty good amount of money and it
happened relatively recently afterwards yeah it was the right it was the right
thing for NVIDIA to just settle it cuz that's why it got done so quickly was
that they settled it rather than dragging this out into a really long Court battle I mean to be clear I don't
think they'd have settled it if they thought they could win it but yeah um I
uh what was I going to say right there's no form up yet to like
apply to get your $30 just in case anyone's like scrambling trying to get
their money um I think this Top Class
actions website is going to post something about it once it's up um so
they're trying to get you to sign up for their newsletter I would probably just come back to this website instead of
signing up for their newsletter so basically um there were a total of 15
consumer class action lawsuits that were Consolidated in Northern California
NVIDIA denied all allegations of wrongdoing
and then entered into the settlement terms uh and agreed to the terms of the
settlement and then U the $30 is not
arbitrary it's calculated to represent a portion of the cost of the storage and
performance capabilities the consumer thought they was the consumers thought
they were obtaining when they purchased the card which what that's like around
like 11% of the cost yeah something like that a pretty pretty more than fair is
what I would call that cool speaking of
there's something to be said for like you think you buy a product and you don't get that and it wasn't even
necessarily as much about the money right so you should probably get more
than the difference which is probably what happened but I don't think that's usually how these things work I have no
idea so no all right let's move on to
our next topic here another lawsuit topic the original article here is from
extreme Tech I'm going to pull this up you want to post it y all right
Microsoft slapped with class action lawsuits over Windows 10 upgrade
practices so they're facing two more lawsuits over company over their
questionable upgrade tactics both suits are seeking class action status the
first one was filed in the US District Court of in Florida and alleges that the
Microsoft Windows 10 upgrade prompts violated laws governing unsolicited
electronic advertisements which is a really
interesting way of tackling it because
you could sort of make the argument that
and this is this is kind of getting into a pretty fuzzy area here you could sort
of make the argument that let's say apple putting in iTunes update
notification in the bottom of your screen all the time is like is like
advertising Impressions because they're showing you the Apple name and the
iTunes name and the and and there or
like if they had like a logo or something in there like you could you could almost take it one step further
and go but then it's like putting a brand name on something is that
advertising then if it's unsolicited because the
Windows 101 was an entire window that
popped up on your scre it wasn't like a notification in the corner it was like
Hey upgrade to Windows 10 and it did it all the time and would do it forcefully
okay but hold on a second so so I so yes
they basically put a billboard on your computer that is different yeah but they
weren't trying to sell you anything however in this day and age so
much software is free to play
that is there really a difference between an ad for installing the Twitter
app for example and an ad for installing
Windows 10 if Microsoft was making the argument that Windows 10 was uh Windows
8.1 Service Pack 4 or something like if
they just kind of said okay uh yes it's a service pack that makes everything
look the same oh by the way we're going to call it Windows 10 now like if they
weren't calling it a different product they might have gotten away with this
not being called advertising but if they are effectively
trying to get you to download and install a a different product from what
you have then I actually I kind of see that holding water yeah and the length
to how aggro they went about it m um all right so the second suit this
is more along the lines of what I expected from Windows 10 class action
lawsuits so this one alleges that Microsoft installed Windows 10 on users
computers without consent and they've already paid out $10,000 in a previous
US suit over similar circumstances and this is a case where because it's a
Windows operating system and not part of
video memory that still functioned but just like wasn't what I thought I was
getting this one I can see people getting significant payouts for being
put out by this situation where their computer doesn't work or their computer
doesn't work the way they expected I mean which I hope that happens because
I'd like to receive some money for the like half a day that I lost because of
that I mean and it could be a lot worse than that it could be you know but it's
only not worse than that because it was me yeah like if it I was I my system is
set up that it's not that big of a deal like if it's your you know I'm not going
to say your mom because your mom's fairly techsavvy if I recall correctly
she's like she wouldn't not be able to find the control panel because you
changed the version of Windows would she or like not be able to find her programs
she would know to look for the control panel okay like would she not be able to
find her programs she could find her like her Internet Explorer find internet
stuff she can all that so let's talk about if it's someone who legitimately
wouldn't be able to use their computer even if the upgrade worked correctly
there's going to be people saying I have like my mom would be fine yeah there's
going to be people out there though that would have not been able to use their
computer for potentially weeks I guarantee my mom would call me and be
like everything looks different I'm scared and on top of that would have had
to take it to a shop to have it restored to its pre- Windows 10
upgrade they could be paying a lot of money per instance in the case of that
$10,000 one they ended up buying her a new computer if I recall correctly like
it was a new laptop which I think is unjustified personally but I think
they're very much just trying to get it to go away but with that said the paperwork involved in having a computer
serviced by some shop somewhere like building a a service network
Countrywide and remember people could have been getting Windows 10 upgrades in
the middle of Tim Buck freaking 2 Kentucky
like it could be easier to just ship them a computer from dell.com yeah yeah
which is kind of Terri
um oh dear all right so I I'm upset
about that kind of stuff and I wish that like ah I don't know it's it's
frustrating and frustrating that it also wasn't
easier cuz like I'm trying to build some land rigs right now but like I don't
have enough cases and I'm trying to like get cases essentially for free so
there's been like delays on it and whatnot um so I haven't built all of
them yet I've built a couple of them but that means there's a few of them that I
haven't done operating system installs on yet so I guess they're just going to
stay on Windows 7 because I have keys for that I don't have keys for Windows
10 and I don't really want to buy more operating system keys for land
rigs that don't need it right everyone can run dx11 that's fine because dx12 is
kind of borked at the moment anyways yeah you're working on a video about
that right trying to yes trying to I'm going to leave it at that
there are certain reasons why I am not currently able to complete it that are
making me frustrated but I'll stay away from that I should
um I think I'm getting the rest of the information that I want on August 4th
but then I'm leaving for a while on August 5th so it's probably going to be
a bit Yeah but yes there's a video on
Vulcan the current state of Vulcan and dx12 that is on the way so Microsoft
told the Seattle Times that it believes these suits won't succeed although I
mean they have to say that what else are they going to say at this point one
quick thing that I want to interject someone in the chat said if Vulcan succeeds you won't need Windows 10 or
dx12 it's a good point Vulcan works on like everything Android Linux that's
true assuming that the game works there's only four games that supports
right now yeah one of them is dota so
doesn't matter
nice no but no DOTA is a very important game but it's very easy to run and you
don't need like Oh I thought you meant specifically DOTA is a very important
game I didn't mean DOTA doesn't matter I mean like it being featured in Dota the
cool part of that mean means that it's very like you can play it on whatever
you want that part is cool cuz Vulcan is on everything right
okay context of that got a little weird sorry I was like wow so much hate no so
much salt it did not mean that at all
though is important game they've done really good thing for Esports I like how
they do their tournaments I just realized that the um
or like it only the most loyal of our viewers are watching right now oh you
didn't because it didn't uh it didn't push oh
my that's okay um there's a couple more things on that topic
Microsoft getting wrecked yeah yeah basically them what their statement is
still in there Microsoft stated Microsoft's
marketing scheme falls short of certain uh protections which must be afforded
wait what okay I was doing this maybe
I'll just pick off okay um so basically
they said that upgrades to Windows 10 are a choice not a requirement which is
one way of putting it I guess and that they offer free customer support to
those that run into trouble have you ever tried to contact Microsoft customer
basically the worst um I don't actually think I've had a worse customer
support thing from anyone they say
people who update to Windows 10 can roll back their prior system for 31 days
which doesn't help people who are not techsavvy and whose upgrades don't
complete successfully yeah or if it fails like mine did not completing
successfully yep um yeah so basically
the lawyer that filed the Florida lawsuit said that Microsoft's marketing
scheme he calls it falls short of certain protections which must be
afforded and then claims that the damages owed to Consumers who have
struggled with the new software May total tens of millions of
dollars wrecked and I'm kind of leaning
towards I hate to do this but I might have to agree with a
lawyer um cuz I'm sorry John yeah
because I am leaning towards him being more correct about this totally think
he's right I think it's going to cost them tens of millions of dollars yeah
100% what no no no it's all good John don't
worry everything's fine all right speaking of everything being good you
and I had some more experience than usual yeah with Dollar Shave Club razors
each so I don't think I've clean shaven
since 2012 I think in the first wow I was in I think I'm clean shaven then
yeah it sounds about right I think yeah so it's like weird and I didn't realize
how like spiky it is if you're trying to let it grow
back yeah so like this morning I woke up and was like H oh my hand stuck oh it's
like sandpaper yeah holy crap anyways I
did use Dollar Shave Club razors to do it yep and I used Dollar Shave Club
Razer to shave my chest for the first time I didn't show a nipple so on Twitch
no I've never first time ever yeah I've never shaved my chest I've never really
felt the need I just have kind of like this weird TFT in the middle like I
don't have a lot of chest hair yeah is it enough that like if you wear deep V
it's just like no cuz they grow down oh
yeah like it's just kind of like this weird like thing I got you going on and
then it's kind of weird like all over the rest of like my shoulders and chest
I have like these individual random really long ones random really long
hairs like it's bizarre but I shaved my
chest for the first time I used I believe it was the four
blade I I I actually borrowed luks we were at we were at the spray tan place
and I was like shaving my chest in the bathroom it was the executive very
strange experience was it no no it's not the executive that's the six blade one
oh yeah no no no no you have the one you have the step down yes the one in the
middle um anyway so dollarshaveclub.com why don't we actually talk about their
their offer um has a special offer for new members who join today you get a
free month of the executive Razer that's their top tier when you buy a tube of Dr
Carver shave butter which by the way I also used for my chest shaving
experience because you do not want to
shave blind over a nipple no nope that's
not a thing you would want to do so being able to see what you're doing shave shave butter goes on clear is
definitely a plus um it's trippy because
back when I did use to clean shave I had foam stuff so I'm used to like oh you
can see it when it's ready but no you just you can still see your face
perfectly fine yeah it's actually kind of Handy um so yeah basically that's the
offer right now all you got to do is go to dollarshaveclub.com Linus if you live in
Canada the United States or Australia
and you can be a member of the club enjoying all the great benefits like
razors and other bathroom supplies including the shave butter their After
Shave and their one wipe charlies's delivered directly to your door once a
month so you can use a fresh razor blade all the time and always feel good and
always get a nice clean shave and you can save money compared to going to the
you know Pharmacy or chemist or whatever it is they call it in the various
countries around the world the chemist po the the
yeah Apothecary is that how is that I think that is the right yeah Apothecary
Apothecary anyway uh the point is you save money it gets delivered right to
your door you don't have to leave the house to look like you leave the house
and yeah don't think we've ever gotten a
complaint from our viewers about Dollar Shave Club which is about the strongest endorsement that I can get for anyone I
always get comments of people being like oh you have a beard how can you
advertise Dollar Shave Club One I shave down here all the time two otherwise
you'd have a neck beer yeah it goes down to like here it's really bad so I shave
it and then it goes back up
hooray all right so more more Windows 10
crap the original article here is from pcgamer.com Tim Sweeny thinks Microsoft
will make Steam progressively worse with
Windows 10 patches this is my screen and then sorry go share my screen and then
go to your thing oh share your screen and then it oh I could do that did you
post it in twitch chat right I did so for those of you who don't know Tim
Sweeney is the co-founder of epic games um and created the Unreal Engine and
stuff you know and stuff so like sort of a big freaking deal like he's right up
there with your CarMax and your new definitely an important guy uh
believes that Microsoft will work to make Steam progressively worse in order
to force develop Vel opers onto the universal Windows platform with the
endgame goal of essentially closing the open PC gaming ecosystem a funny thing
about this kind of I'd love to call it tinfoil hattis but he's a really smart
guy and a Savvy guy and they are not the same thing he's a smart guy he's a
well-connected guy he's a Savvy guy and
he's saying that he thinks that's the direction it's going so you know how we
were giving Microsoft high fives for
bringing PC uh Xbox games to the PC platform for car seeming like they cared
about PC Gamers we might have gotten
ahead of ourselves because they might might want them to not care they might be trying to turn PC Gamers into Xbox
Gamers we we might have the exact right amount of carrying a few months ago yeah
uh one of one of the things that is directly directly worries me in this is
one of the last lines in the actual article if my laptop stops freezing I
will get there um it says it it risks W
turning Windows into a closed platform risks neutering new breakthroughs such
as VR and that is uh before they had a chance to flourish and that is actually
a pretty good point Steam for all the shortfalls of things like green light
steam is not perfect we know no there's tons of problems in the VR section on
Steam there's so many entire Pages worth
of just terrible useless pieces of trash
and it's kind of a problem for VR right now but at the same time someone who
creates something can get on Steam surprisingly without that much
difficulty and that can also be relatively important for VR right now
because the second someone tries something that's purely Innovative and
is amazing and works really well for the platform it can push out quickly and
they don't have to jump through hoops and it's not a closed
ecosystem this is great uh Big T 1971 asks if the W show is
sponsored by fake tan this week kind of
no but the tan is definitely fake or the fake T is real look at this side of my
ARM yeah compared to Linus's
face there you go this part didn't get that much spray T like can you imagine
trying to play VR games without valve
and Oculus just basically stepping up
and creating their own entire ecosystem yeah for them
yeah and like I'm going to take a very
quick aside I promise we won't talk about it for too long for all the flak people gave me in the Oculus Rift review
from the Vive Community even though it was a negative Oculus Rift review which
still confuses me about um Oculus supporting developers and how I should
have talked about it more even though I did say that they were only supporting
timed exclusives without a time they just wanted them to release on Rift
first anyways Oculus has deeply funded
like 70 games or something at this point and that's actually pretty cool so so I
mean we're giving Microsoft kudos for
basically removing horrible things that
they had before but they've actually
done very little to help VR compared to
what companies like valve and Oculus are
expected to do completely on their own I mean not completely on their own and
valve has their own just be clear as well valve has their own VR funding
stuff that they are doing so like both of those companies are doing awesome
things in terms of helping VR stuff so anyway um it's to summarize sort of this
was actually in an interview with Edge magazine so to so to summarize sween's
comments he basically goes okay look every PC game for the last few decades
has used win32 and it's been responsible for the vibrant software Market we have
now but also for malware any program can
be a virus and universal Windows platform is as an anti as an antidote to
that it's sandbox it's much more locked down but the risk is that if if
Microsoft convinces everybody to use it then they phase out win32 apps and if
they can succeed in doing that then it's a small leap to forcing all apps and
games to be distributed Through the Windows store which as we've seen
already has it just ter doesn't work
with higher frame rate doesn't work with anything like just crappy it's like
oh yeah every game runs full screen Window mode now why how about not how
about not that I mean how are we supposed to do things like oh I don't
know uh Benchmark a game using an
application like fraps that jumps in in
between the program and the driver and the output and overlays things like this
sounds like the kind of stuff that is not going to work very well if you lock
it down and you go look okay every game runs at 60 FPS 1080P and 4K like I it
wouldn't even Sur surpris me and I've seen games that don't support certain
resolutions just because I don't know um
we just didn't think of it uh like like it wouldn't surprise me if you had a
4096 X 2160 monitor which is 4K by the
way 3860 by 21 or 3860 by 3840 X 2160 is
UHD they're not the same thing if you had a 4k monitor like it wouldn't
surprise me if it didn't work properly because that standard kind of took a
couple flaps of its gigantic wings and then face planted into the sand cuz no
one cared um and I've seen stuff like
that before where weirdo resolutions like uh 1440 by 900 just aren't
supported for some reason I don't know I hate it I hate the
idea steam's been around forever I think if they try to do this though they're
going to run into crazy anti-competitive problems let's hope in
terms of legality especially because steam has already been established for
so long yeah you don't think they're going to fight it that's uh but his
thing is like if over the years they force patch Windows 10 to make Steam
buggier then people will welcome the Windows store with open arms because
they'll blame valve I mean blaming valve is a very popular thing to do they'll
blame valve for steam being crap when ultimately it had nothing to do with
them blame valve but worship new yeah
that's kind of how works all right maybe I'm more sunburnt
than I thought I just scratched my ARM and it's like really burning now mhm
okay Verizon the original article here is from CBC News Verizon confirms 4.83
billion takeover of Yahoo's Core
Business this does not
include Yahoo's shares in Alibaba which
are worth a lot by the way or Yahoo Japan which counterintuitively is a
separate company and actually has very little to do with normal yah
so it includes their advertising content
search and mobile activities apparently Yahoo owned 34% of Yahoo Japan that's
weird yeah go figure
right um like did did Yahoo have content
in search like does anyone search on Yahoo I guess Verizon must think so I
think they also owned a lot of other things even though it wasn't Alibaba or
they just bought yeah which they acquired just over a
year ago this is a great sorry sorry Verizon owns AOL so Verizon seems to be
collecting like this these defunct web
companies like web 1.0 companies yeah uh
so just a year ago we acquired AOL to enhance our strategy of providing a
cross screen connection for consumers creators and advertisers what whatever
that means what does that mean um and
this is great this is the rest of the statement from Verizon the acquisition of Yahoo will put Verizon in a highly
competitive position as a top Global Mobile Media company and help accelerate
our Revenue stream in digital advertising so Yahoo will be integrated
with AOL I guess maybe I'm missing something
here but but every time we talk about Yahoo we we we don't understand it yeah
maybe we just kind of have because okay like even the farmet people I don't know
anyone that's on Yahoo specifically or
sorry AOL yeah no I mean as an ISP I
think aol's pretty much gone aren't they yeah I think I I mean maybe twitch chat
I mean I don't think anyone watching videos on Twitch is is going to be on
AOL but um maybe people watching the archive at 240p or 144p are going to let
us know that they're on uh that they're on a yeah Yahoo answers okay okay sure I
encounter Yahoo answers from time to time although not as much as I used to
yeah not as much as I used to these days.com comes up a lot it's like a pay
site how are they getting submissions like do they pay the people who answer
the questions I don't get it maybe that could be a good answer if so that's kind
of brilliant cuz the answers on there are really good but if you want to click
anything else from an answer page it prompts you to buy a membership but if
you look at the name of that question page that you want to read and you go
back and Google it then you can go read that one for free so it's actually just
the right amount of being accessible to everyone but putting a barricade in your
way if you don't pay I don't know I think I think it's a really interesting
Yahoo m is apparently very popular according to uh brim brimal who um whose
parents probably use yaho so they bought in
gadget yeah that's part of it
okay sure yaho Sports
okay okay so there's some content
there okay all right moving on this is
pretty scary understand I guess they like bought all the people that are
technically out of
touch right cuz I I don't even know who gets their sports news from Yahoo sports
or like people that use Yahoo mail but it still exists and people do use it I
just yeah I only know like I'm pretty sure yvon's parents use Yahoo mail okay
but like so they bought everyone who over 50 technically out of touch yeah
yeah okay all right this is some scary
business right here if you get caught using a VPN in the UAE you could facee
fines up to$ 545,000
us wow so they introduced a federal law
Banning the use of vpns to try to avoid paying for expensive Voiceover IP
Services which is a very interesting reason to care about people using vpns
it's a royal edict from the president uh making it illegal for
anyone in the country to use a VPN or secure proxy server that's such a weird
reason you could face jail time by the
way and fines of between 500,000 to 2
million UAE Duram it was announced this week by the UAE
president and because this is just like an edict like I think this basically got
sprung on people I had not heard any Rumblings of this I had no idea maybe
I'm Maybe I'm Wrong uh the wording is apparently ambiguous and technologically
illiterate but it basically seems like you're not allowed to use systems that
hide the fact that you're committing a crime or covering one up and if you are
routing Network traffic you could be evading the eyes of the state while
breaking the law wow so there's a tweak law taken
from the site Emirates 247 that says whoever uses a fraudulent computer
network protocol address or IP address
by using a false address or a third-party address by any other names
for the purpose of committing a crime or preventing its Discovery shall be
punished by temporary imprisonment and a fine of no less than 500,000 Durham and
either of these two penalties wow that's awesome
understand even through reading the article um I don't
understand like like this section right here VoIP uh over-the-top apps have been
a thorn in the side of Telecom operators around the world because customers no
longer need to pay international calling rates to speak to their beloved ones
they can just speak to them on Skype WhatsApp Facebook Messenger Viber or
SnapChat or whatever the hell else and so on and so on yeah but UAE is one of
the first governments in the world to actually regulate on behalf of so can you not use those because you don't need
a VPN to use Skype WhatsApp Facebook Messenger fber or SnapChat no but the
problem is that in the UAE they have um
pretty crappy filtering systems in
place okay yeah so they're like they're filtering the internet there people are
using VPN to get around their already restricted internet access so this is a
really interesting fact from our notes Here uh less than 15% of the Kingdom's
inhabitants are locals with the rest of the population made up of expatriates so
many of those people probably want access to private corporate networks and
the internet without being limited by that filtering system and it looks like
I mean I I I I'd like to say that I can't
imagine them actually enforcing this because it seems insane but if they were
insane enough to implement this law in the first place maybe they're insane
enough to enforce it I personally wouldn't install a VPN because I
wouldn't be the one to take that bullet just to find out right that's kind of
ridiculous unless some VPN steps up and goes like we're untrackable we'll pay
your fine yeah but they could they can imprison you oh yeah good call I don't
want to go to prison y freaking ridiculous all right 711 this article is
from the verge.com just made the first commercial delivery by
drone I mean can you the the the the
marketing for this just writes itself look up to the heavens for
7-Eleven a you know what would be kind of great
if you're like out playing soccer or
something you just had like a slurpie delivered to you I know right so it took
place on July 11th actually and uh they
partnered with drone startup flirty to make the delivery to a private residence
in Reno Nevada they delivered a chicken sandwich Donuts coffee candy and
Slurpees Slurpees the goods were packaged into
two containers each separately flown to the home and the Drone flew autonomously
from the store to the household using GPS to
navigate wow so they've selected a store from which to deliver and surveyed
customers within a one M radius to see if they'd be willing to take part this
is not the first delivery that flirty has made but it appears to be the first
that a customer had placed as an order with the store and then had it delivered
like the first sort of proper transaction yeah um 7-Eleven said it
plans to continue working with the drone company but uh didn't lay out a timeline
for rolling out the service to a wider region right pretty cool hey yeah I mean
we in our in in my like still functional
somewhat you know aware adult lifetime I could live to see a world
where a self-driving car picks me up in
the morning I'm like hungry or whatever
and I go okay yeah I want like a sandwich here's my specs uh deliver it
to my work I arrive at work in my self-driving car having been on my phone
the whole time cuz by then I guess that law won't be in place anymore unless
you're driving it in which case it's still better not to be on your so that
law wouldn't has never been in place but I could step out of my car have a drone
basically drop a freaking sandwich in my hand I could walk in sit at my desk eat
my sandwich my car could be running around cting other people around making
me money very possibly in your lifetime you might not have to go to
work te T commuting is like a huge
research section yeah I don't know about it for this cuz I was kind of still
planning to do this okay you're wanting
to be hosting when your career's ending
when my career's ending no I was thinking this could happen in like the next 5 to 10 years uh yeah but you were
just talking like survivable life span
oh no I mean before I reached the point where I'm like all decre and I have no
idea what's going on yeah like while I'm still about as functional as I am today give
or take okay yeah yeah it's pretty crazy
loving it um all right I don't know how
interesting that is sponsor spot I'm sorry sponsor spot we already did it did
we Dollar Shave oh yeah yeah we did it early yeah no we didn't no we did it on
start drastically late yeah okay the XI
me notebook air is Now official and according to the Windows central.com
headline anyway you will want to buy one
so they're going after the 13.3 in MacBook Air and they it's apparently 13%
thinner I haven't actually looked at this yet 133% thinner and 11% smaller
while managing to offer a similar sized screen their laptop is called The
Notebook air they couldn't
like be even slightly creative are they
going to get sued for that they should call it the notebook oxygen nitrogen
carbon dioxide mix mixure yeah I kind of
feel like they should get sued for that um so features a brushed aluminum body
laminated 13.3 in full HD display edgo Edge glass sixth generation core i5 and
an NVIDIA 940 MX card so it actually has
a dedicated GPU which by the way you won't be using to game on but you could
be using it to accelerate things like Adobe Premiere with a you know cineform
codec video content um something that we have shown off in an ASUS Zen book in
the past though that Zenbook is not thinner than a MacBook Air so that's
pretty cool it's got two usb3 ports an HDMI one 3 and half mm Jack and a USBC
port and there's no xiaomi branding at the front but you can customize the
front of the notebook with stickers yeah very cool so here's uh kind of a cool
look at like Star KN as like a a skin on it today the race to that uh I don't
there's a lot of in this article there's a lot of like you might need to be sued
for that like you it's China it's so like wild
wild Orient yeah but are they going to sell this in other places yeah so yeah
they can get sued for that I don't know it's not my problem no but like so this
is no mentions as of now regarding availability outside of China there you
go okay so Vio acquired by Chinese tech company
Leo for 2 billion this is one of the
sketchiest sponsor deals that we have
ever turned down by the way you don't know about this um but I actually I I'm
at the point now where I don't even want to know who they were or why they cared
but someone approached us about doing a sponsored tweet um speculating that Vio
might be acquired like by a large tech
company and then putting like Google question mark Apple question
mark and we were like well which one is
it and they're like we can't tell you and we're like that's stupid we're not
doing that yeah we don't know what your agenda is but we don't like it don't
talk to us anymore good call um and
basically it was and like to be clear guys actually this is something we
almost never talk about we almost never talk about sponsor deals that we turn
down yeah um but it happens a lot cuz
there's a lot of sketchy crap out there um and it's really it's really
interesting for us because we have that Insider perspective seeing who took the
deals after cuz yeah you know like we'll
see a tweet that doesn't have a sponsored hashtag on it or like and it's
the exact copy from whoever yeah yeah so
it's it's really interesting for us seeing who's on the take and being
upfront about it and who's not unfortunately I'm not getting involved
in that kind of stuff publicly I'm sorry I'm sure the twitch chat is already full
of people saying why don't you guys say
no not going to happen um just not
interested in in being like the next
sort of whatever drama Channel but um
yeah I'm really glad we didn't we didn't take we didn't take this one cuz I just
I had a bad feeling about it and I I'm glad that I trusted myself yeah and who
the hell even is l um they're they're they're huge they're
like a big deal but they're are they Google or Apple no they're not Google
they're not Apple but they're they're Chinese and they're that's a pretty misleading tweet then yeah
so Vio founder and CEO William Wang will
continue to all own 51% and Leo will own
49% of inscape uh blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah so VI be operated as an independent subsidiary is Vio still really like a
thing uh and that's VI's Data Business by the way oh yeah Vio is a thing as far as I
know last time I checked they were the number one TV maker in the
US okay yeah they're not they're not really as much of a thing in Canada okay
um I don't know that they're still number one but they were at one point
maybe that's my problem it's I don't shop for TVs yeah the last TV I got I
traded a friend an h100 and some
Dominator RAM for it
and the TV before that doesn't exist so
that's my shopping for TVs experience all
right um yeah I don't really have much
else to say about that are we are we is that it is that
the show is that everything interesting that happened this week I don't know Apple sold its billionth iPhone so like
good for them I guess good job Dota 2
released full VR spectators terrifying
actually like one iPhone for every seven people on Earth well
not it's a weird way to look at it because huh a lot of people would have
just been replacing iPhones I don't mean one out of every seven people on Earth
ph's an iPhone I just mean yeah like if you walk if you were to like walk down
the street one out of every seven of like like as you just like walk and look
at people like every time you walk by seven people like an iPhone rolls off of
a factory line like that's kind of the visual that I had in my
head that makes sense oh this is interesting so the
original article here is from overclock 3d. net NVIDIA's Pascal Titan X will not
feature faster fp64 or fp16 performance
so this was one of the marks of the original Titan was that it could handle
double Precision um I think not quite as
well as a Quadro but better than a GeForce if I recall correctly um and so
it was popular for Cuda programmers it was it was for more than just
gaming but the new Titan X will be much
like its Maxwell predecessor and it will not have that feature it is just an
ultra powerful gaming GPU and nothing
more um yeah I don't know I guess that's
pretty much all I have to say at this point it's been kind of a tiring week I
have finished like nothing this week but
I have a lot of stuff on the go I've got my USB type c versus micro head toad
real world how many plugs comparison
I've got a really cool idea for reducing the size and weight of the tether on the
HTC Vive um so I've got that rolling
right now I've got the Predator G1 desktop from Acer I've got the Gigabyte
Aro 14 laptop I've got um I'm sure
there's other stuff that I've got on the go right now but like this week has just
been frustrating cuz I've worked on so
much but finished nothing I've got what
CPU should I buy I'm I'm finally I can't
believe I never did it before but I'm finally doing what CPU should I buy so
I've compiled this ginormous like comparative database that I can use to
kind of go this one if you're this person this one and like have that be
like a really good Final Answer um
I I got mostly scripted on three videos
and then reached out for a comment from a particular company and they pushed it
back and then I pushed for that meeting and then they pushed it back again um
so I just like wasn't able to do those
three videos which were like two reviews and
then one like what the hell is going on with this thing video um so I lost like
my videos for this week so that's
cool although that means there will be easy videos later yeah the work isn't
wasted yeah which is nice I guess there's another really there's another
really frustrating one for me the
um uh pimp my Wi-Fi episode 2 basically
that call that I had just before we started the show that was actually one of one of the reasons the show was a
little late today uh that call that I had confirmed that the problem is
tus really once again in my life tus has
managed to screw me yep so the the
wiring what is it sorry what is it basically the problems that he was
having with the system were not related
to my system that I put in with help from ubiquity that's running great but
his internet keeps bugging out because
and they've even replaced his modem at this point but because the like wiring
is bad and there's a technician coming tomorrow which is a Saturday which means
that whatever's wrong with it must be super wrong with it because Tellis
normally does not come out on a Saturday that I'm aware of
yeah all right oh also someone in the
chat speculated that what I was talking about was a Titan XP it is not um I also
got completely dodged on that and at this point I think they're just not
giving us one oh really yeah I asked
three times I think no response oh okay
so it's like available in like three days or something isn't it August 2nd
yeah okay so I don't
know well thanks for tuning in guys we'll see you again next week same bat
Time same bat Channel I got to say it was pretty refreshing not having any
technical issues on the show um huge
shout out to epan and you guys can get used to hearing this over the next
little bit because they didn't do like a formal sponsorship but they did provide
us with the capture equipment and I did say that I would definitely be giving
them a shout out we're actually planning still to rebuild the W streaming PC so
that's still going to be a thing that happens and I'm going to give you guys more details once we've been through a
number of seamless shows on the new capture cards that are just working
properly I'll give you guys all the full details about what we're using for the
setup here so yeah there you go guys apparently the audio is messed up
now well people are asking for Afterparty I will be doing mine like I
normally do and I will be going home cuz I'm tired it's really hot yeah it's like
super hot sunburns make you really tired I wonder what the science is
behind that sorry I wonder what the like science is or biology is behind sunburn
making really I don't
know yeah yeah but why do why do you get like
shaving sub
