Windows 9 Windows 9 Windows no Windows 9
Windows 9 N does that does that mean that like
they're that's the directive internally is that they can't do anything stupid if
someone comes up with a suggestion it's like n
no must be good we want to take out the start
n that' be awesome because it is we want to limit direct X compatibility to just
the that actually kind of
works that was awesome I really liked
that one welcome to the show guys it's the W show time again it's Friday and
it's been it's been a hell of a couple weeks actually I I figured it out last
night I was like why am I so far behind
on all of my work it's like wait cuz we
did a lot of stuff in the last 10
business days I have spent
four of them in the office okay cuz I was at or four and a
half cuz I was at Highlander Monday Tuesday Wednesday last week and I
dragged my tired ass into the office for Wednesday afternoon and like wrote a
script and I was like zombie descripting
and then I had Thursday before it was
Friday where I go to NC and then do W show so it's a total write off and then
I came in this week worked Monday Tuesdays a Canadian holiday it's Canada
day I wish I had a Canadian flag to wave hoay I slept in and read a book um I
gardened we're awesome I know right
seriously I I I came in on Wednesday anyway so then I got to work Wednesday
Thursday this week and that's it I've had four days to do all the things that
I normally do in eight days um yay
anyway so I was talking to Brandon when I came in we're filming something and
he's like I was like he's like what did you do on your day off I'm like oh I did
gardening he's like oh that's stupid why I'm like cuz I'm a homeowner
[ __ ] it's nice that you live with your
parents someone's got to do it I did my I did my charity stream
thing on the weekend because there was that extra day though so that was cool
so you could just be a zombie at work and I probably wouldn't on Mond you were
fine you were fine I was totally fine because what I did was I forced myself
to only sleep for like 4 hours or something and then I went to bed again
at like 11:00 M so then I got a full night sleep right okay that makes sense
I guess I'll let it just don't touch it just don't touch it get out leave no
Brandon Brandon stop he runs away you have the door
open come back and then leave again
should throw something at him when he comes in range boom you just got shave
buttered anyway welcome to the show guys we
haven't actually managed to say or do anything yet there's a little bit of
news this week there's a lot of little things not a whole lot of big exciting
stuff although one big exciting thing is Samsung has released the first SSD on
the market with 3D nand I like that 3D
oh I see okay nand now with 30% more 3D
um anyway so that's more D they they talked about it at their Summit you
can't actually buy one yet but it's coming soon and this is exciting for a
number of reasons also in the news this week 1080p 60 FPS is and I quote a
transformative experience finally a game developer saying the right thing and
it's a console game well yeah the game he's talking about it's we need more
Flags to wave I'll settle for a one wipe Charlie oh actually it's funny cuz
Dollar Save Club isn't even a sponsor of the W show today which is why you're
using a one wipe Charlie as a flag which is white and you're waving it like this
so you're surrendering I'm not no I'm not uh this is what the console people
who think that 30 FPS is enough would
go all right what else we got today Tesla Model E I'm not going to say
anything more than that just Tesla Model E yeah um and krych UK staff not coming
to work which is not a yeah no that that's not good that's not good at all
all
rightward that didn't work nope I have to change the the settings do not
remember playback position and we're back and back again and there we go
yay I love this show oh man we should just we should
just have like named it the new show nothing ever works there you go the the
new show it's like news and nothing ever works it's like it's like a double on
tonra yeah it's like how PHP freaking genius PHP the P stands for
PHP really yeah oh that's terrible all
right so speaking of things that are not terrible Squarespace is one of our
sponsors today get 10% off your Squarespace subscription with offer code
lonus also a sponsor of the show and this is a new sponsor today is 54 Club
they actually have a special Fourth of July deal which we'll tell you more
about later on and actually I completely did the wrong thing that wasn't what I
meant to do well whatever the lower third is there so you guys
I gave away the deal I didn't mean to tell them the deal yet it was supposed
to do the splash thing that we showed at the beginning actually it's going to
slam Oh yay big freaking
cable anyway don't look at the deal listen to me talk about it later the
point is five floor Club is good and we have a special Fourth of July deal for
our American friends and also the Americans that we hate oh well anyone
can have it that's the point do do you hate any specific Americans no I'm just
saying I'm sure sure there's there's got to be one American that I can't stand
yeah I mean Bieber he's basically American now he doesn't live here
anymore he's yours now owned okay so let's move on to our
very first topic of the
day the 850 pro50 Pro I'm used to saying
40 on Tech the site where I still go for
most of my SSD coverage because they still do a Fant fantastic job of SSD
coverage so the Samsung had a global Summit they talked about v-nand they
talked about well mostly they talked about Nan so what's the point of the 850
Pro what's good about it the 840 Pro has been on the market for a long long time
now and as disappointing as it is that Samsung hasn't released a new Enthusiast
professional grade SSD the 840 I was like I lik the 840 why is it
disappointing yeah no no it's disappointing that they haven't released a new one in so long but the cold hard
truth is that the A40 Pro never really
got dethroned nope like it kind of did
There's higher capacity drives now um
there are slightly faster drives now there are drives with better performance
consistency such as the Intel 730 series
but in terms of just like defeating it across the board the 840 Pro has held up
incredibly well not to mention that Samsung software suite um enables it to
perform even better so you can do things like you can cash the drive with RAM and
all that kind of good stuff as they did release the Evo but are you talking
about like in that same Series yeah I'm talk well the Evo is not as fast as the
840 Pro yeah I'm just saying like they they have released another so Samsung
has dropped the 850 Pro on us now and
it's faster it's higher capacity it goes up to 1 tbte it will potentially deliver
higher capacities in the future it actually lasts longer which is the first
time we've seen that in a while one of the big problems with ssds as they've
progressed throughout the generations is that newer manufacturing processes have
actually reduced their lifespans now a
lot of noise gets made about that by hard drive manufacturers or just general
you know Doom profits those kinds of
people but the cold hard truth is I believe it's tech report and I know that
stre systems have got longterm SSD
reliability tests where we've got ssds that are rated for X number of terabytes
that are rating like a petabyte of data
before they actually even here they're talking about it's endurance rated for 150 terabytes but they have one in
internal testing and this is for the 850 Pro not for existing drives yeah
internal testing that has gone through over 8 pedabytes so guys don't read too
much into those rated specs they have been getting lower as time goes on but
that's what's great about the this new Nan that Samsung has Unleashed Samsung's
actually been you know it's funny cuz we always expected it to be you know the
more the more traditional guys like you know an Intel or a micron to be pushing
all this stuff forward but um Samsung
was the first to do TLC so that's three bits per cell in their uh crap I'm
blanking now what Drive was that model names not good with them yeah I think it
was the 840 anyway yeah it was the 840 so they were the first to do their a TLC
n Drive s and they were able to achieve good enough reliability and performance
to make it a an actual product out of it and now they're the First with 3D so I
think I don't know that's pretty much it other than giving you guys some specifics so we have a clicky link to
the exact uh the exact specs here and
it's funny because specs don't really change that much we're still going to be limited by the SATA 3 interface so
you're still not going to see more than 100,000 random read iops you're still
not going to see more than 90,000 random WR iops
but cool things about it are that the lowest capacity Drive doesn't perform
that much worse than any of the others this is a 128 gig drive so it doesn't
perform worse and the 128 gig model is
the one that they have in testing writing over eight pedabytes
so typically whatever the lowest capacity one is performs the least well
because it's not able to take advantage of parallelization in its reads and wrs
and then it also t typically is not going to last as long because just
simple it's actually really simple math it's kind of cool how simple the math is
when you have a higher capacity drive and a lower capacity drive and each nand
cell has X number of Rights of endurance
if you write X number of terabytes to each of them you're going to be filling
this let's say you write up the entire capacity of this drive and it's 10 times the capacity of this you just wrote
every cell here 10 times and every cell here once so a lower capacity Drive is
just inherently not going to last as long usually going to be slower it's not going to last as long so theoretically
if Samsung was running that test on their one tab drive it could have done
80 pedabytes but that's I mean don't quote me on that that's not a rating
it's just in theory in theory totally
not okay just forget I ever said he just said Theory very many times don't forget
in theory there's a lot of overhead involved in wear leveling and the
algorithms that keep the nand working for so long that will make it not not
scale 100% like that let's just be really clear about that in the first
place um one of the other things that Samsung's really stepping up their game
with on the 850 Pro is that they're offering a 10year warranty whoa you
didn't know that did you I didn't know that part yeah that's aggressive 5 years
was already in my mind pretty aggressive for a storage device I mean when you
think about what a warranty is a warranty is within the reasonably usable
lifespan of the product this is going to work dog be confident buying it so for
something like a computer a three-year warranty is pretty good because you're
probably going to want to replace it with something Faster by that point or
you know laptops you'll probably have beaten them up by that point or or or or
whatever um with the storage device
especially a little while ago when capacities were really scaling fast five
years was kind of ridiculous I mean drives that I have that are five years
old are going to be like 320 250 gig drives like even even 120
gigaby SSD in five years like dude it's
like I mean maybe maybe part of it is
that they're just that confident that they're all going to last so whatever
we'll just throw a 10 year warranty at it who cares and then maybe part of it
is just the whole the whole RAM manufacturer mentality where you know
how every stick of RAM seemingly has a lifetime warranty on it and maybe it's
just for much the same reason maybe that's exact it 10 years from now no
one's going to give two craps about this like Edo RAM so whatever lifetime
warranty if they really want some SD RAM
or they really want some ddr1 memory 5
years 10 years 25 years down the road who gives a crap we'll just give it to
them um for for the number of customers that are actually going to do that
versus not having a competitive warranty with what your with what the other
companies are offering I'll be interested to see if other guys match
this crucial is such a conservative company Intel is such a conservative
company I mean they blew me away when they offered a 5-year warranty on an
Intel CPU which let's face it is going
to last for 5 years or 10 years I mean in general have you ever seen a dead one
no it just that wasn't like someone
stepped on this or something like that like one that died in use where the
person wasn't either a dangerously
overclocking it or B like physically harmed it probably on purpose they just
don't die and they still only offer a three-year warranty on their processors
so I mean for Intel to be confident enough to offer a 10-year warranty
they'd probably have to be sure it's going to last for like 50 Years anyway
I'll I'll I'll I'll be interested to see what comes of that um most things are
over engineered the the rating on how much data is going to go through that SSD is probably over engineered
considering we're looking at 8 pedabytes in what they're actually doing and 150
terabytes in the estimation and warranties are definitely over
engineered if they're if they're warring it for a certain period of time it's
probably going to last a lot longer than that all right so let's talk a little bit about the changes that they've made
now I talked about how traditionally as we've scaled down the manufacturing
process for nend in order to drive capacity up and prices down um the
reliability and the performance has gotten worse this is just it's just
because things are getting so packed in that there's things can easily leak from
one place to another and it just it just doesn't work that well at such a tiny scale so now instead of building out the
Nan chips two-dimensionally so where they're just spreading things out so
they have to make everything smaller to keep everything close enough together to even work now Samsung is actually
stacking it that's what 3D nand is so instead of using a 10 nanometer Class
Manufacturing process they've actually relaxed to a 40 nanometer Class
Manufacturing process I mean that's that's like old stuff that's like couple
gens ago like CPUs that was Advanced
like this is yeah but that gives them that better
reliability and that better performance and because they're stacking them they
can still scale capacity so we could expect to see as they scale the
manufacturing back down again much much
higher capacities and much lower prices as time goes on right now it's
cuttingedge technology you're only going to find it in a pro class product which
as you can expect the 850 Pro is pretty expensive compared to actually more
value oriented ssds there's some pretty cheap ssds out there I was going to say
it's only $10 more for 120 and 240 gig
capacities compared to an 840 Pro and it is exactly $1 cheaper in the 480 GB
capacity yeah so that puts it actually very competitively priced against other
premium drives from guys like Intel with their 730 but not even close to you know
value stuff like crucial's m550 which comes in at only around just under $300
for a 500 gig class Drive which is crazy
I mean is it finally happening are ssds cheap now I don't necessarily think
we're quite there yet I think I think it's cheap enough that like every single
time I see a build I'm trying to help them balance their build out so that
they can get an SSD in there right because it's it's worth it at this point
but I don't see a ton of people going SSD only systems yet I I see a lot more
and I am seeing it in general but I still see a lot of people throwing in
like at least 2 TB hard drive in most their systems yeah now still really big
and a lot of games coming out like 50 gigs which is insane I feel like I did
miss something on my blade 14 review now that you're mentioning that now that I'm
thinking about it the blade 14 is an amazing machine just a spoiler alert
guys that's actually going to come out sometime next week and for the first
time ever I awarded something an editor's Choice Award I don't want us to
start doing that I don't care it's perfect almost it's almost yeah I I'm
probably never going to award one again in five years I've done it once so so
let's just leave it at that um but it's
absolutely fantastic although now that you mention it the problem is that in
order to make it fit in that amazing form factor they've got one m.2 SSD and
that was all that was going to fit there is no 2 and 1 half in Drive cage um so
you're a little bit Limited in terms of storage the the most you can do is
they've got a 512 gig laptop option and
then you have to basically buy that up front um they don't even actually
another knock that I did mention in the review is that it does not have
upgradeable RAM it has a soldered 8 gigs
of RAM what there is no 16 gig option so
they got called out pretty hard for that this this basically perfect judgment
seems slightly it's have you used it no
okay well it's pretty amazing I mean having an having an 870m in this no but
I don't I don't necessarily care about that I don't use the the tabless of this
very often I mean in my Surface Pro I think I estimated 2% of the time that I
use this notebook I'm using the tablet that was probably aggressive when I had
a laptop that could turn into a tablet I actually used it a lot okay but then
that's it's going to vary so if it doesn't matter to you then it doesn't
matter to you and the and the 870m doesn't throttle that's kind of cool
which is it actually boosts a little bit and that was that was two days ago when
it was super hot yeah yeah that was really so okay we need to I don't like that
repeatedly hitting the cable Brandon huh oh it's not a big deal I'll grab it okay
want to move on to our next topic sure if I can figure out what it is do thank
you for sitting on my headphones you put it there I did not put my headphones
under your butt are you sure yeah I'm sure pretty sure the butt would have had
to get there after the headphones did I don't
know I don't know anyways uh Tesla Tesla
Model E3000 how did I know that that topic was going to be the first one you
brought up it's the next one in the dock I didn't even like maybe that's how I
knew why what do you what do you what did you think I was implying all right
so we're going to head over to our good buddy John Ringer's website
TechnoBuffalo is our source for this one at 30 grand the Tesla Model E will be
the company's most affordable I want to know when they're going to release uh a
Model T they should totally do it like a
retrolook electric car that would be really cool actually be badass you know
those like uh now I'm going to say steampunk but it's not right but when it
like looks old but they just put like the the like nice cool blue LED lighting
in it and stuff and it like makes it look this like this weird mash up that
would be so sweet I would love a wood panel Tesla I'm sure Ford would not have
any of that no but it would be pretty
awesome or if they did like if they did like the model like horizontal and
vertical line the Tesla te I don't think they'd get away with it
but that would be so cool they could just call it the model and then put the
symbol for the Tesla tea on the side of it the Tesla Model the Tesla Model dud
it has like a limited edition run I would love to see that so you can't like
you can't say it's the Model T messaging Nick oh I better make sure there's
nothing incriminating here God
da okay well that's good to know okay so
let's go ahead and uh oh yeah that's fine not really but sure we'll go with
it um what was I going to say there's there's not a ton of information yet it
would be launching in about 2016 yeah so
we're not exactly close uh it's expected to be about 20% smaller than the current
model S yeah and they're going to drop things like they're probably going to be swapping out aluminum for steel and a
few other things like that but like it's a way cheaper car thank you can you like
push the cable down and then close the door so you don't so they don't Jam the
thank you thank you
don't has he done it to your satisfaction yes all right we just
finished uh like terminating a whole bunch of cat 6A and that cable is huge
and it's going under the doors and it keeps getting slammed on by the doors and I don't want to destroy my work
probably slam resistant I mean it's pretty beast in
every other possible way it is um I think this is actually really cool
because I'm not going to go buy a new one but that means if it starts at 30
grand years afterwards it will have to be cheaper
right I'm I'm pretty stoked I mean the big thing turning me off of the model S
is number one that I um don't buy new
cars because I think it's insane and there's like not enough of them because
it's at a weird price braacket yeah and then number two is that um there's not
enough used ones yeah yeah so I guess
those are both really the same thing also it's very very expensive so I used
Model E a few years after it comes out
that's going to be when I go electric especially if they have that very
aggressive battery swapping stuff going on yes that would be pretty sweet I
don't know I'm pretty excited about this actually needed something like that it's
going to be cheaper constructed I'll be surprised if they can achieve the same
range with it uh they're expecting steel construction instead of aluminum
construction um it's going to come out after the model X so that's the SUV
model so no time soon but um word on the
street is it's going to be priced to compete with the Audi A4 and BMW compact
3 Series so and if if they do this and if they keep dropping rumors and stuff
like that that means other people are probably going to do it too and competition in the electric vehicle
space is good yeah I'm super stoked on that I'd love to drive an EV yeah that
would be fantastic because gas prices where we live are dumb yeah not as bad
as Europe mind you but still dumb yes
all right so let's go ahead and this was
originally posted on the Forum by top of War gamer still trouble at CCH this was
actually a few days ago it's not really like news news but there hasn't been
anything else that's come out in the last couple of days so I checked it out
um or at least today and Oh you mean about this yeah about this so basically
um there were rumors that CCH was on the brink of bankruptcy and then they came
out and were like no no that's not happening at all at all we're just not
playing our employees yeah but there are
multiple internal sources coming out saying they haven't been paid properly
since April and apparently um an
estimated what was it something like a hundred staff yeah the studio estimates
that around a hundred people have left after filing grievances a person
familiar with the studio yes person sorry sorry sorry person familiar with
the studio uh that about 100 people have left after filing grievances it's
unclear if they leaving permanently if they're just kind of waiting for krych
to get their stuff together apparently it's gone as far as employees at krych
UK are like publicly hoping that deep
silver buys them so like I think this
has kind of been going around for a while it's just been under a cap which
is kind of sketchy cats out of the bag I mean you can't imagine the Xbox One
launch sales were that amazing especially when rise got slammed by like
every reviewer ever yeah it really wasn't reviewed very well and then they
just launched their uh what's this thing what's this game called kex new game War
something yeah they just launched a freeo playay game I can't even remember
nobody cared I hadn't even heard of it
until they just launched it I thought it was Warface but I was like that name
seems so generic it can't be that yeah
so War Warface is out um it's on Steam
yeah yeah no like no no one no one cares
I thought it was a console thing at all so it's a free to play/ pay to win type
game oh that's why I haven't heard of it and didn't care that makes sense oh God
that yeah so so that's that's I mean that's where they're at I mean they
don't charge much to license their engine and that's something that a lot
of gamers are concerned about what happens to games that rely on cry engine
right now I mean is the is the engine going to get ongoing support how's this going to work I mean has krych just
overstretched their bounds they have what nine Studios now nine locations and
you're kind of looking at it going well how many games do you actually make like
what do people do all day krych yeah krych UK closing down isn't going to
close down the whole of cry no but if
they can't pay krych UK then that is
kind of an issue yeah you're right um but I don't know I'm not super worried
about their engine at this point but then again at the same point in time big
people like Star seon are just chopping the crap out of the engine anyways so it
probably won't even matter right because at this point in time I'm sure whatever
they're working with is so far away from the original design that any updates to
it they'd probably have to pretty much do themselves anyways so I don't know
but then smaller Studios that would want to use cryex engine because it is
beautiful and is actually pushing limits on PC Hardware unlike a lot of different
engines might have issues because they would have to rely much more heavily I
mean I think that's the thing that I'll both miss about the most and uh regret
that they didn't stick to is the fact that they were willing to push the PC
Beyond its limits and build something that was truly groundbreaking I mean the
the thing about that though is the last time they did that was a really long
time ago yes so you kind of look at it and you go okay well how bad do I feel
for you because you became a big deal
when you released Far Cry and crisis back to back you were this upstart that
came out of nowhere and released Far Cry the what was L the first at the time
what we were calling nextg FPS so it was Far Cry Doom 3 and halflife 2 and Far
Cry was never even on the list until it came out and people were like what what
where did this come from literally nowhere like what and it looked as good
or better than those other games like it was they were in the same class and then
they released crisis and then crisis 2
was kind of that but like not as much and then prist is whatever anyway um so
they got away from their Roots which was building really demanding open style
games and they got kind of syy about it and then now they did like a super syy
you know Roman game as a console exclusive and you're just kind of
sitting here going okay well I'm sorry you're in trouble but not making the
wrong the Right Moves dog I don't know like they were all they were all butt
hurt about piracy of Crisis and so they were like okay well um you know know
we're not going to do PC exclusives anymore and then except that's what made
your company big so apparently in spite of the piracy you were doing fine and
now you're not so I I'm not I think a lot of people interpret pirate numbers
very incorrectly you can't just be like look at all that potential money that we
didn't get we're going to write that down as a loss that's not how that works
man that is not how that works a lot of those people would have never even
thought of possibly buying that game in the first place and then honestly a not
tiny percentage of those people would have played it thought it was cool and then bought it I know people that do
that I know people that do that too but I also know people that don't do that I
do as well I know both sides I'm just saying that those people do exist
they're not a huge percentage but they do exist I think that the I think that
the number of those people who think they exist versus the number of those
people that actually exist is I know a
lot of people that also claim to be in that group and then finish the game and just go like
oops guess I'm done already like no yeah
that's not how that works people are saying I pired it and then bought it and
I'm like yeah that's fine you did and
like pirating it on day one and then buying it when it's $2 on a steam sale
two years later it's not the
same it's like not the same at all H you
know what funny actually after last week's W show when I said all that
unpopular stuff about how Pirates are wrong the comments were hilarious cuz
people are like well there's no demo so what can we do and I on on Twitter I'm
like well just don't play and they're like well we're Gamers we can't not play
I'm like what are you talking about if
you don't buy if if everyone just stops buying Call of Duty 18 there will be
demos there will be a demo they will need to sell it there will be a free
weekend there will be this there will be that it'll happen if you all just refuse
to buy it and don't play it yeah and
lots of games still do have demos and honestly demo those games and then buy
them demo those games and then buy them steam actually has a pretty aggressive
demo availability which is pretty nice I know when Child of Light came out yeah
really interesting looking game I was like wow it's kind of expensive though
and I don't really know anything about it oh there's a demo it's like full
access to the game or something for three days I was like oh sweet that's
cool awesome and I mean the other thing too is like and the people saying
because I I think I made some analogy I was like well I'm a scuba diver but I
haven't been in a few years and people are like well then you're not a scuba diver you're someone who knows how to
scuba dive you know for me to be a gamer I have to I have to play the games and
I'm just kind of sitting here going well actually I disagree with that because it
makes Gamers sound like pathetic addicts
not like people who are making a conscious decision about how how they want to live their lives and I don't
think that's fair I like to give Gamers a little bit more respect than the
latest AAA battle battle field comes out they have to play it they not a gamer
have to play it or they're not a gamer I know a lot of Gamers that uh like I I
find especially in the blizzard Community especially but then also with
games like uh like Counterstrike there will be guys that like they're like oh
do you want to play a game and I'll be like yeah sure this mainly happens to my
brother not me but they'll be like oh oh do you want to play a game yeah sure oh
okay oh I don't I don't see you on Starcraft it's like yeah yeah do you
want to play something else they're like no I don't have any other games I only play Starcraft there's still a gamer I
see that with Counterstrike I see that with a lot of the competitive style games they like only be into that one
that's fine that doesn't mean they're not a gamer yeah all right so this is
exciting 25 gigabit and 50 gigabit
Ethernet standards uh being worked on so
a Consortium has been formed which um actually has some pretty big names so I
would expect this to go somewhere Microsoft Google uh broadcom kind of a
big deal yeah so this is this is probably going to happen but basically
the objective here is this is this is not going to make its way to your
desktop anytime soon no uh like probably
eventually but not not not not not now yeah not for a long time I mean look how
long we've been stuck with gigabit oh God we haven't even moved to 10 gigabit
so there's that but this is basically
going to be for as a as a tweener cuz
right now we've got 100 GB let me ask you this and why is it that you know you
show someone a photo what the heck FP to
see what's next I don't want any foam flippers flipping through all my
pictures where did business tweak Town
yeah tweak toown yeah I had a tweak Town article open on the computer there yeah
know tweak Town's like the worse for that out of nowhere yeah oh I never have
sound on on my computer it never bothers me twe Town always does that never leave
tweak town at at tabs open it's like the one site where it's like oh God anyway
this is supposed to exist as a tweener between the 100 GB gear that like super
high-end Enterprise stuff and then the 10 GB gear which is that also high-end
but not as completely Balls to the walls uh 10 G what was that ad oh I don't know
what it was oh anyway um I think that's
pretty much all there is to say about that it's not exactly the most complic
if you have some other stuff that you want to talk about then great not really it's it's exciting uh it's it's more
looking for like server backend and linking things together within data
centers and stuff like that so it's not really like home stuff but so your
Dropbox might go faster probably not
probably not though but yeah nothing that you guys will probably actually or
us well we'll probably actually feel the effects of really but it'll improve
efficiency prices will go down in the long term for cloud-based Solutions blah
blah blah blah blah all that stuff but in the in the short term not a whole lot
and we're not expecting any kind of Technology based on these standards to
hit anytime in the next year to a year and a half anyway so it's it's
interesting that uh the the plans to create this
start were stalled at a meeting last March due to perceived lack of support
then Google Microsoft and broadcom were like
nope time to do it yeah we actually need
this yo yeah it's cool that they're doing that I like it a lot okay so this
is this is this is actually pretty crappy have you been to Linux live
Journal lately yeah exactly I have all
right so here's an open letter from the Electronic Frontier Foundation dear NSA
privacy is a fundament Al right and you
know what this is I mean every time every time we talk
about the NSA they're crossing a new line but basically what the NSA has been
found to be doing this time is they're actually adding fingerprints to your
online activities so even though you might be using tour browser so it's
difficult to track exactly what you're looking at and exactly what you're doing
online what they're doing is they're
putting together the puzzle pieces of
the people who are accessing things like tour browser and then they're building
profiles of these people and turning them into sort of I don't want to say
flagged because it's not quite that extreme but they're turning these into
profiles for these individuals that could put you under more scrutiny if you
are attempting to maintain your
privacy it's just like will this arms race never end no probably not
I know what I find interesting is I've seen a whole bunch of like not to slam
America but I'm about to slam America a little bit um to America they're much
bigger than us I'm partially American I know that's gross can I slam myself I'm
just teasing you um okay actually so so
Luke is legitimately half American if you wanted to calculate it that way so
go ahead and do your American your mom's American yeah but I'm technically fully
American I'm just also fully Canadian you can't be fully American and fully
Canadian citzenship in both countries dual citizenship is half citizenship man
what yeah you're half Canadian I'm sorry no that's not how that works you know
what's funny is in Canada you're right that's not how it works you're
completely right in America but no no no in America it's not really actually they
do make you they do make you be fully American when you uh so anyway that that
actually is kind of how it works um in a lot of parts of the world though the way
that people view your your nationality actually has a lot more to do with your
lineage and a l to you're and you're
calling you half Amic to our European viewers where
you're half Irish even if your dad and
mom spent their entire lives in France if they're of Irish descent you're half
Irish even though you've never set foot in Ireland yeah like i' I I've heard
that reference too but only when people are specifically talking about so you're
half American whatever man for for I mean this is good in this case because
you're about to say something I can slam myself a little bit um the 4th of July
what about it I see tons of people celebrating and they're like yeah the
meaning of being American is like you stand up for what you think is right to
no matter what the odds no matter what's against you blah blah blah because because America even if it's like
against your government whatever whatever you do it for yourself you do blah blah blah blah blah and they're all
like yeah we're awesome and I'm like yeah that's cool America you're not cool
America right now you're
not like it's just nope and it's not
it's not any individual's fault I don't think it's just things are kind of
crappy down there okay so the really the really horrible thing about this whole
latest NSA thing is not only are they looking at people who are using tour
browser they are looking apparently Linux Journal is one of the Publications
that is getting you fingerprinted really Linux Journal just
because someone has a passion for open-source
operating system kernels does that
really mean that to like to play completely Devil's Advocate because I
think it's completely bull crap but um they do talk about stuff like tour and
stuff like uh what are they called Tails
a lot sure okay so so tails is an operating system that basically leaves
no trace on the computer that you had you were running it on so you can run it
on an SD card or a USB drive or even a live CD um and you know yes these
Technologies tour and tales do exist for the purpose of hiding your tracks and
yes Linux Journal does talk about these things but that doesn't make them an
extremist Forum no and that's insane
it's completely insane I can't even Devil's Advocate that because that's ridiculous so you know what I want to do
a Twitter Blitz right now it looks like they are now because there's stuff on their front page like are you an
extremist and all the kind of stuff well they're joking about it right I know but
like if if you had no prior knowledge it would look like they might be now but so
here's here's what uh here's what I kind of want to do just for for the laws guys
I want you guys to Twitter Blitz us
examples of no not straw pole okay U I want to Twitter Blitz this so I want you
guys to Twitter Blitz us examples of you
know privacy that you think people should have that they're not allowed to
have like the ability to browse websites without people going through their
internet history and privacy that people
have that you don't think they should have I mean hot button topics like this
include things like uh gun ownership registry for example so I just want to
hear you guys' opinions we're not going to be like okay yeah you're right you're
wrong but the thing about privacy is that there are there are places you have
to draw the line like for example okay so let's say anonymity on the internet
should you be allowed to be on Anonymous in certain
places for example you can walk around on the street with sunglasses you walk
into a bank with sunglasses and your hat pulled down to here that's a
problem just think about it just think
about it for a second are not the same at all which are not the same at all the
bank and the internet it doesn't matter I'm well I'm not talking about just the
internet in the bank I'm they're like wildly different yeah I know that's the
whole point people are supposed to just tweet things okay okay so like for
example you are allowed to draw the shades over your house but if you were
to set up a 25t high wall around your property that would raise eyebrows you
know you got building code or whatever else but basically you're not going to be allowed to do that more a problem for
other reasons but yeah so we have like
at my parents house where I grew up we had these giant freaking trees no one
cared they lot more than 25 ft and I mean things like okay like things that I
don't think should necessarily be allowed um extremely dangerous animals
that aren't correctly contained I mean people would argue well that's my
privacy that's my security I'm protecting my privacy but you know you
see enough stories in the news about these dogs getting out mauling children
that it becomes a problem yeah what dog what do you mean what dogs Bulldogs
Doberman extremely danger
yeah I completely disagree on that so you disagree so having a dangerous
animal I mean when I say dangerous animal I don't mean a breed you said dog
though yeah a dog is an example of an animal that can be dangerous if you
train it to be dangerous okay yeah having a dog isn't the objection here
the objection is fortifying your house so for example where I used to live we
had a drug dealer family living across the road yeah their animals were
freaking dangerous they were dangerous so so
training a dog because they're a dog do dangerous then yeah so the point how do
you measure that that's not the point the point is just guys what do you think
is right what do you think is wrong because there are things that I don't think people should be able to do in
this for the sake of privacy I think putting a motor around your house and
putting like starving dogs between the moat and your front door is dangerous
and wrong even if it's in the for the sake of your own privacy I think you're
allowed to put a motor on your house if you want you're probably not actually I
think it depends where you live call before you dig bc1 call yeah no I know
but like if you can I think if you don't hit something you'd technically be
allowed I don't think you can put a motor around your house really I'm fair
if you had like a giant Farm property and your house was in the middle of the
property you couldn't moat your house why not I just I just don't think you
can you can you okay in Suburbia you definitely can't no I'm I can't even
paint my house a certain color that's so
dumb yeah that that's that's how it works I hate that we wouldn't even like
here we wouldn't even have enough room to cut a motor around well yeah all
right not even possible um spam Jazz says I think the rules of the real world
should be applied to the internet it should be treated as a
place Igor figures if if it affects if it affects someone else then privacy is
not protected if it's a personal preference or something like that then
basically do whatever you want I mean an example of that is the fact that you're
not allowed to tint your windshield here in BC someone could say well for the
sake of my privacy I want my entire car tinted completely black you you can do
the back I think you can do the back very dark but not black there are still
regulations and and the the reason for that is that pedestrians need to be able
to see where the driver's looking so it's one of those things where where is
the line because there are places where I don't think you just plain old have
the right to not be seen or heard by anyone like for example not being able
to tint your windshield I'm sorry you just can't do that because it's dangerous for others but that's like
that's like in public you can you can tint the Windows on your house you can
put blackout on the Windows in your house I wonder if you could in certain
again you can't even paint your house certain colors I wonder if you're but you could black out blind your house you
could up blind your house well not technically the same thing but like close enough but then again and oh this
is interesting if you were to blackout blind your house put a 25t tall fence
around it put video surveillance cameras around it would you then be surprised if
the cops took an interest in your house is the NSA any different for taking an
interest in people who go to Great Lengths to protect their privacy than
the traditional law enfor are allowed to take as much interest as they want they
can't enter your house without without a warrant yes but the NSA is not
necessarily entering your house if they're yes they are because they're intercepting your traffic so hold on a
second so how would they take an interest without intercepting your
traffic without in without infringing on your rights in the first place see
that's why this is also very interesting but screw them who cares put my name on
a list and then do nothing with it because you suck back
off all right so Caleb says I believe that sites don't have the right to mine
data from users to sell for a profit not really the topic we're talking about
yeah not at all and they kind of do yeah
um okay and in fact if you read the terms of service of the sites that you
use it's very likely that they tell you that they use your data for whatever
they want that's like the Facebook thing that happened with the social experiment and then Facebook was like well in the
terms of agreement it literally says you're going to take part in this so so
there you go you should be able to look at whatever sites you want just not what
they want you to look at but to a point I mean I think something that was really
that was something that the article brought up that was yet another facet of
this just the point of this whole conversation is just think about it guys
I'm not nothing I say is necessarily me being like yes the NSA is right or this
is wrong or this is right or whatever else the point is just to think about it
because think about the people who might legitimately need the Privacy that
something like tals affords them people who are not in America even where they
have relative freedom and at least the police mostly can't just shoot them um
you know where where they're trying to fight against a truly oppressive
government and now all of a sudden the NSA is collecting this data sharing it
with who knows who and now that could put them in danger just because they're
trying to protect their privacy that they legitimately needed to protect yeah
um so you need to be able look at whatever say okay you need to rephrase
the dog sentence a bit better I think we handled that the point is dangerous dogs
I'm not saying that a particular breed is dangerous I'm saying a particular dog
should be dangerous yeah and that's and that is true and you can usually tell
it's usually fairly obvious which ones have been told that strangers are bad
yeah not always but you're you're right they'll have uh especially if you're
trained in being able to look for those things they'll be like body language
dogs don't really hide body language no they don't anonymity should be everywhere on
the web it's like saying you can't blend into a crowd which is another really
interesting point that the article raises and that's that the best thing
that we can all do if we don't want to
stand out as someone who uses T is we should just all use T because if you by
tracking everyone you track no one or by
singling out everyone you single out no one there you go whatever I was like
wait a second well by tracking everyone I guess what I meant is one of those
individuals is not as easily or as accurately tracked yeah yeah exactly in
Europe the policy about using credit cards for transactions
what okay should be allowed to control what companies can and cannot view your
data yeah we're not talking about companies though we're talking about the NSA they not really a
company why does slick have a phase logo on his shirt we'll cover that later yeah
I talked to that yeah we're we're on this and I told him the exact same thing
you'll find out later I don't want the government taking
my phone without a warrant oh right so people are just giving a couple examples
of of things y yeah that's something that I think that's becoming a thing
isn't it yeah that's that's becoming a bit of a problem and uh like I mean even
even going back uh a number of years ago
people were having laptops seized at the border to check for pirated software so
like that's been a thing for a while and is totally over the line in from my
perspective yeah um it's my laptop man
privacy question up to the property owner says so whoever owns the property
should be able to just do whatever they want there while using the internet
we're totally free but like in real life everyone should set limits for internet
use I think Twitter is not a great uh
medium for this because I just mostly don't understand understand things
actually Christopher Rivera you know what we'll use this as a transition into
our next topic here this is this is
interesting where did that one go I don't know a lot of them got dumped in
Rapid Fire so check there okay what are you looking for the anonymity I'm
looking for the right to be forgotten yeah this is interesting so
in Europe right now let's just go ahead and switch over to my screen
here um so the the eu's right to be
forgotten so there are some Guardian articles that have been hidden by Google
so the guardian is a uk- based publication and basically what you are
allowed to do now over there is you are allowed to have the right to not be
searchable so you can actually request
that Google no longer return search results for a particular
thing so an example of this might be you know someone who had a run in with the
police or whatever else they weren't a minor so their name and their face and
everything was published in articles they can't make the guardian remove
their article but they can request that
Google no longer return search results linking to that article so you have
someone who's like the the newspaper collector you could have that site
stored some you could have that URL stored somewhere and that's not going to
necessarily go away but it's not going to be like easily researchable anymore
so that actually seems to raise a whole
other set of problems because I can see reasons why this should exist you know
you don't want I mean you don't want your employability affected by some
stupid parking ticket you got when you were 19 or if someone makes an
accusation against you which ends up being completely false but all those
articles from before the verdict exist and no one ever updates that stuff I
mean I can see that being the kind of thing that really should be should be
removed that's a huge problem but on the other hand if let's say your U let's say
you're a politician Who's involved in scandal after scandal after Scandal and
your local constituents can't search for information about it because you just go
okay well I don't want to be searchable and that's probably an extreme example
like let's say not a politician let's say not a politician let's say uh you
know an executive within a company instead where the other the board of
directors might want to you know have a look at what kind of guy is this I mean
searching for people on the internet whether whatever you like about it or
dislike about it then again Google's just easy you most of these websites
like uh oh that's a Google custom search not a good example yeah so the Guardians
the Guardians on-site search is actually powered by Google I wonder oh okay we're
we're in the way I wonder how long that's going to last for yeah but yeah
but like a lot of these sites are going to have their own search functionality so if if you try it a little bit harder
you could probably still figure it out and especially in situations where it's a politician yeah someone's probably
going to try and run slander campaigns against them anyway so they'll hire a
investigator or they'll just go to these websites themselves it's not but what
it's doing is it's making the information less accessible to the average person yes definitely but then
the flip side of that is should my employability be affected by you know
here here's an example should my employability be affected by a
DUI I you could dance all day on that
topic yeah I don't know I don't drink so I can
easily just be like yep but then I don't know if that's I don't drink either so I
could easily just be like you know yeah people who get behind the wheel drunk
are bad people but the reality of it is
sometimes good people make bad decisions and and sometimes there's going to be a
flag that was raised that that maybe shouldn't have like I what is it I know
with steroids if you eat too many sesame seeds you can get brought up on a
steroid test yeah I think something nailed down figuring out how drunk
people are but I see your point I have zero experience with getting
breathalyzers or anything Ian if you if you if you eat a lot of poppy seed
muffins you can show up positive for opium as an example um yeah so so yes
there are things that could be problems here but uh you know I mean there's a
lot of debate going on in the twitch chat right now people deserve a second
chance people are basically bad and we should document the bad things they do
forever um I mean it's it's one of those things that never existed before so we
have to find new ways to address it I mean it used to be that you know an old
newspaper clipping or like going and looking at micro fishes in the library
that was how you that was how you like found old news that otherwise basically
didn't exist but the internet that's been around long enough now that you can
find a pretty detailed history on a lot of people there's a paper trail yeah
that exists digitally that will never go away especially if people are bad with
their Facebook privacy even even websites that are gone you know you can
run around on way back machine way back machine internet archives yeah I mean I
found some poem I wrote because someone quoted it in a reply to someone else on
a forum somewhere it was a poem about the EVGA 680i motherboard so I think
I've actually read that it was applicable but like I'm like nothing's
ever gone so I don't know man it's interesting
those are those are I think way deeper topics than like the W show should
necessarily be yeah I know why don't we just do something lighthearted here so
uh this is this is fun uh Z what however
that's pronounced um PC Master race problems man tried running halflife 2 at
8K some games just are not designed for that
the text is so small in the menu cannot
read the menu I was talking to people in team speak about this and they're like
oh my God I can't believe he's so serious about this BL BL I'm pretty sure he's sarcastic I'm pretty sure that
we're just we're just having some fun with this topic it looks pretty cool
though eh like not including the text did you look at the second one where
it's just like the landscape other than the sign in the crappy grass like it
actually looks pretty all right increasing the resolution of a game does
a lot resolution is more than just a number I think we can all agree on that
oh Ubie I'm slamming you so hard in a
video that's coming soon oh I know I
know you were brutal I was listening was pretty that was pretty aggressive all
right so on to more lighthearted uh lighthearted PC Master race news uh
Naughty Dog developer says Last of Us 1080p at 60 FPS is a quote
transformative experience this was posted on the Forum by Tiger Bomb 8 and
it is pretty hilarious just slamming everyone this
was great original articles on kit Guru want to give us the summary you pretty
much already did it there's honestly not a ton more to say uh Last of Us
remastered co-director Bruce Stanley also jumped in by saying I had a dream
in 6fps last night # tlou remastered and
a guy uh Neil dman then replied saying
what if I told you that was no dream hash believe which I think hashtag
believe was already a thing for Halo but either way um that's that's cool and
that's coming and I think that's a really interesting contrast to one that
I think is in Rapid Fire which is where what is it drive Club Drive Club is 30
FPS and they're like yeah it's cool man
other games are doing it too right don't slam us too hard they're like directly
where is it I'm going to try and find the quote got it
um so this was posted by roit kamart
seriously I should just start changing people on the forum's names when I can't
pronounce them so this is from Kaku Drive Club is
30 FPS for the same reason other games are says director so quote unquote I I
suspect a lot of people uh think we may have compromised the gameplay experience
by choosing 30 FPS yeah you think um but
we've spent a huge amount of time minimizing the latency between the pad
and what happens inside the game so you never feel disconnected no well they may have a
point I mean play ARMA 2 and let's talk
about laggy engines like I would rather
play at 30 FPS on Source engine than at
60 FPS on ARMA 2 you know yeah like 100%
but they don't have that many comparisons you can't compare every single game to ARMA 2 you have yes I can
but don't because that game is dumb sorry but it is he is super
broken like super broken I honestly I
wanted to play it because I was like oh yeah it like pushes graphics on the PC
I'm going to play this game and I was like doing the training thing and I was
just like did you make it past training no no I didn't
either I don't remember where I quit but
I got to like some point then I got super frustrated and then I like was
like oh I wonder if I can shoot the guy beside me and I shot him and it worked
and I got put in jail and I was like screw this
game I couldn't figure out how to get out of jail I was like this is so dumb
your game is just way too broken it's
like realism s simulator you're now in jail for 10 years well I don't want to
play your game whatever man it's like realism
simulator I'm going to ask for a refund let's see how real that is and then I'm
not going to get it nope reality of buying
games yeah yeah that sucked oh I was actually
super excited and then I got put in jail and then I never played here's kind of
an amusing article from the inquire apparently Windows 2000 gained more
market share in June than Windows 8 now the inquire is known for hating on
Microsoft and they're known for sensationalist headlines and they're
also known for a lot of things and sort
of the most accurate news reporting isn't one of them but this was just a
pretty amusing article basically looking at operating system market share where
Windows XP continues to hold a quarter of the market with Windows 7 holding
about half of the market overall and then everything else splitting that
remaining 25% with Windows Vista coming in at
something like a rock and couple percent and Windows 8 holding
only this is very odd they article was
written very oddly 6.61% which
is kind of terrible actually it's not a
lot I mean hoping for that Windows 9 that's why I was so excited by the
Windows 9 announcement thing cuz I was like I when when Windows 8 was announced
I was like I'm probably never going to use this and that's okay I use it but I
I intentionally avoid as much of the and you use it because it's like
pre-installed on the stuff that you use it on you use it cuz you're lazy and
that's fine but like I've never seen you go out
of your way to install
it not once ever no not once we're both
running it right now on our laptops
because you know
what yeah that thing that he never uses
yeah because you click the thing that says desktop every time I know two hot
keys on the uh on the computer that like are helpful for managing Windows 8 the
Windows key for opening modern UI and ALT tab for getting back out of
it because because oops you press that button and then wait I got to get back
to my stuff my actually useful the thing that only I mean it's not that bad the
only thing that really drives me crazy about it that just makes me want to put
my fist through the screen is on a new install trying to open an MP3 or like a
video file and then permissions permissions things I I find to be a big
issue H at least it's it's actually easier to disable than it was on Vista
and 7 it just has a prompt that's like Boop do you want to get rid of UAC do no
not even just UAC oh like trying to do any deep rooted stuff is like really
annoying oh okay fair enough like really really annoying I don't know I I've I've
just found everything that I try to do on Windows 8 or 8.1 I just find it's
extremely taxing when it really didn't need yeah actually there there's another
example except for stuff like file transfers which are absolutely freaking
fantastic and have almost brought me to Windows 8 multiple times yeah that's
really good I mean there there are a few things that drive me kind of crazy
fantastic like user okay so user accounts okay if I'm like yeah I got my
user accounts here I want to like um I
want to change something about it I can change my account type I can manage
another account and I can change UAC settings other than that if I'm like oh
no sorry wrong thing if I'm like yeah I want to make change
oh
really why and then the flip side of
that is when you're in modern UI and you try to do certain things it just drops
you out of it for that and I'm just like a really it just can't decide what it is
it's broken and maybe Windows 9 will be better but
honestly it runs games a little bit faster but my computer's kind of Beast
and most games are crappy console ports anyways people are saying after you
learn all the hot Keys it's very usable nope
um okay after you learn all the hot Keys Adobe Premiere is very usable that
doesn't make it intuitive and that doesn't make it a well-designed UI it
just makes it usable when you're an expert I mean you could say that about
anything you know mixing cocktails is easy all the buttons are in a spaceship
it becomes pretty awesome memorize every combination and you know get really good
at doing it and then it's easy it's like yeah okay hooray Daws and Linux yeah
Doss is easy if you it's super easy you can probably do
things faster than Doss than you can't Windows if you know all everything yeah there are certain things that I can do
faster at a command prompt y yep um so
speaking of which Good Bites has uh has a post here about Windows 9 preview
expected for the end of the year so thank you for posting that and uh I
don't know anything to say uh not a ton more than what we've already said
they've said many times that they're going to be trying to cater more to the
um Windows threshold desktop experience kind of thingy Mig going on which is
fantastic that's awesome good to hear who knows if they'll actually do it
hello Microsoft we're going to support PC gaming um so who knows they've also
talked more about stuff like this and the yoga where it should it should
support better transfer between when you flip your screen it'll automatically
switch to something like Metro mhm should support better of doing thatness
whatever that even means I don't know a lot of it seems like they're talking
over to their butt they heard a lot of people complaining that they ditched the Windows 7 user desktop experience thing
and now they're trying to be like yeah we're bringing it back but it's
Microsoft so who freaking knows they better because this is the second one
they they they they jumped once and then it was bad so they have to fix everything and jump again and then the
one Windows 10 or whatever it's called will probably be terrible again I don't
know there claims about you know supporting switching between the Metro
UI and the window style mode based on whether or not a keyboard is connected I
kind of look at that and I go look I don't know on Surface you guys couldn't
even figure out whether to use the onscreen key or the connected keyboard
about 3 to 4% of the time which doesn't
sound like that big of a deal but every single time that happens but every time
it happens you're just like really and you couple that with the
Windows 8's integrated onscreen keyboard is terrible like it's not a tablet
keyboard at all it's basically unusable
and you just all the jokes this is kind of a
ranty discombobulated show isn't it it
is we're just mad about things cuz it's hot and annoying and there was kids
screaming outside and we're old okay so good news Microsoft and Canon have uh
agreed to just kind of use each other's patents and no big deal I would like to
see so much more of intellectual property sharing between companies where
they're cooperating to make the technology better for us as opposed to
just trolling each other and suing each other all day I mean I think that pretty
bitter Rivals have shown that it's possible in the past guys like apple and
HTC for example where there was a lot of
butt hurt there and it was just dragging them both down and they're both just
like yo okay ceasefire like that one was
a a relatively short-term deal but let's just let's just not do this anymore um
and I'm I'm just happy to see it I mean I don't know I don't know necessarily
what's going to come of this better camera on Surface 4 I guess we could
hope for I I thought it was kind of weird um we maybe Canon will improve
their camera software maybe Microsoft's going to make some
printers like I don't know I I'm not I'm
not sure we really want Microsoft helping Canon with software but the
thing about the thing about these companies is that they have a lot of
patents that go far beyond true printers and cameras and operating systems so who
knows what's going to go on I mean Canon owns display technology patents and
stuff like that so who knows but there
you go ah every time I think about Canon
displays I wish s had come out it was better then than anything
that still currently exists and it never
happened I think it was a patent dispute too I think so I think it was an
intellectual property thing yeah oh so
mad um yeah yeah yeah don't worry I hadn't forgotten okay so it's sponsor
time Squarespace woo I know we talk talk
about Squarespace a lot but the cold hard truth is Squarespace is pretty
awesome and for a number of reasons Squarespace is the and this is kind of
funny because we were talking about how Squarespace is what Linus Medi group.com
runs on the other day and then um one of
the one of the sort of Resident buttthe heads on the Forum was all like I
there's something I'm angry blah blah blah you're always talking about how great Squarespace is and the Forum is
slow and I got a capture or something
and I'm just like well the Forum doesn't run on Squarespace
so yeah um yeah uh so Linus Medi group.com
runs on Squarespace because it's the fast easy way to create a beautiful
website that looks great on a phone looks great on a tablet looks great on a
desktop and is extremely versatile you can have something for your blog for
your portfolio for your online store and
the great thing about it is even if you are not yeah people know who it is even
if you are not uh you know web designer
even if you're not a graphic designer they make things relatively easy so that
normal people as long as you got a little bit of computer savvy can figure
it out mostly on their own and even people who can't figure it out on their
own can use their 24/7 Tech Support to get some help and uh oh yeah there's
more Squarespace also is giving away another website so I'm
like yeah running for websites yeah
running for running for you don't actually have to run Squarespace should
have a super long marathon and everyone that finishes it gets a free
website and then they wait what what I
don't know you know it's funny because you rip on me for saying stupid stuff
sometimes when sometimes you just aren't necessarily following what I'm saying
say some interesting stuff for advertising like they had that guy made
the song and they had all this other kind of stuff going on if they
Squarespace Marathon that would get pressed people would talk about it cuz
it's weird how many website designers could
run a marathon I could I mean let's let's talk
let's talk Vin diagrams okay could you run a marathon I run 8K what's the
what's what's the definition of a a lot more than 8K is there like an actual
definition of a marathon yes a marathon is a specific thing just like a half
marathon is half of that specific thing 26 miles I
quit yeah so let's talk Vin diagrams for
a minute here we've got people who can run marathon and we've got website
designers put like fingernail maybe they touch each other
you know what I want to hear from you guys in the twitch chatter on Twitter
are you a website designer who can run a
marathon and if so kudos to you anyway the point is 40 kilometers shy not yeah
and it changes so 42 more recently oh no
oh that's older no that's newer um so 1924 is newer than 1896
19 you were going after me about that privacy topic earlier so I'm taking
every opportunity from now until the rest of the show um so the point is
Right Squarespace they're giving away a website all you have to do is tweet with
# Linus Squarespace sometime in the next
week and we will show off your website on the show and then one of those lucky
winners will get a free site for a year
for those of you who don't win you can visit squarespace.com Linus for a free
trial it's a two-e trial and you can get 10% off of fuse off of code Linus the
great thing about the free trial is that you can completely design your website
decide if you like the service decide if the scalability is going to work for you
and then you have no obligation to use it
whatsoever so we've actually got uh I've got another one I've got one to show you
guys that's from last time we did one of these here we go lineus to screen
sharing last time we did one of these giveaways I'm just going toop put it on
the top so this is Pascal Brunner's website evidently I haven't actually
looked at this one before I just picked out one of them so the idea is that it's
super easy to build something that is as complicated or as simple as you'd like
and it should look great perform well and just generally be pleasing for
people to browse something that you really can't do with WordPress or
similar Services unless you're willing to put a lot more work into it I happen
to be using my touchcreen to navigate it right now so you know the kinds of
compatibility things that you just don't have to really think about and uh look
at this so we can we can browse his travel blog apparently hasn't filled
that in maybe uh maybe he's hoping to win uh the website before fleshing it
out a little bit more but the point is that it works and it really doesn't take
that much work for it to work which leads us to our second sponsor of the
show today FaZe apparently yeah I don't
I don't know is that symbol I haven't
seen that it's actually not that he's going to get naked so no one's anyways
cuz I believe in wearing my w show shirt for the show as much as I
can it's really similar it's not the
same yeah it's not the same all right so 54 Club are you a big fan of shopping in
the mall are you a big fan of clothing
sales people are you a big fan of what
else is horrible about shopping for clothes those were like pretty widely
encompassing are you a fan of you know
keeping up with the latest fashions is the best thing in the store the
boyfriend shair yeah I know right because yes it is because yes it is so
54 Club is basically the way to not have
to worry about your wardrobe anymore the basic premise behind it is they send you
at least $150 worth of clothing every
month and then what you pay is 50 bucks
a month and what's cool about that is that you don't have to think about
anything they assign you a personalized stylist who picks stuff out for you so
you don't do any thinking new clothing arrives once a month you just do a quick
questionnaire it takes less than a minute which is pretty darn cool and
then you basically say okay look I like these shoes I like these shirts I like
these pants and they just completely
deal with the whole thing for you
um Luke do you want to show off your 54 Club shirt it's a little tight I think I
think everyone can think everyone can see it I liked the um more conservative
oh no we both have pretty conservative design shirts Nick has one that's like
54 clothing and I I actually like the
small logo that apparently looks like fa's logo um but yeah I think it's
pretty cool it's speckled I don't know if the camera can see that very well not
really but yeah there you go I like v-neck and it's a v-neck so that's
pretty cool yeah they've got a whole bunch of different stuff you're not really you're
not really stuck with one you go through that like uh what do you like kind of
questionnaire when you sign up right yeah and I thought they weren't necessarily uh I thought they were kind
of pulling my leg when they said it takes less than a minute but it actually took me like 54 seconds or whatever
something along those lines so I love those surveys that are like this will take like 3 minutes half an hour later
you're like oh God why is there so much crap um but yeah they put you through
this little questionnaire survey thing so you don't get stuff you're totally totally not going to want they can
actually profile you a little bit and then send you things that you will hopefully actually like which is pretty
cool what are you looking for I'm looking for the numbers cuz I think I
might have gotten them wrong which is going to be terrible okay for $60 a
month you get $12 worth of clothing there we go wow that's terrible um so
basically the thing that's going on right now though is for the 4th of July
you can use offer code Linus forth for $20 off your first package so you're
getting an MSRP of $120 worth of clothing for 40 bucks you can cancel it
any time it's actually super simple to do we had one person on the Forum that
basically went yeah you know what the quality of the clothing is nice but it's
doesn't quite work for me I don't want to continue it
and boom it was done just like that so it was pretty easy to get taken care of
and I think that is pretty much it so guys we know where they ship to do we
know where they ship to yeah o people are asking that US and Canada for sure
yes not 100% sure outside of that so you're going to want to go to bit. lee/
Linus f C and use offer code lonus forth
4th in order to redeem your extra amount
off normally for 54 Club you guys can get $15 off your first purchase so now
it's just an extra five bucks just so they can give you guys a little incentive to try it out here because if
you hate clothing shopping anywhere near as much as I do then yeah there's that I
feel terrible about getting those numbers wrong I'm not necessarily that
great with numbers and then they went and they changed them around on me today
and I was like oh okay the 20 corresponds to the discount but then the
amount that it normally is corresponds to whatever whatever the heck it is um
the cool thing about it is that aside from I mean if you're into you know
which celebrities wear it the list is actually kind of ridiculous like if you
go on their site I get that though I would probably want a mail order thing
if I was a celebrity person I guess that makes sense yeah I don't know I was just
like M Mark Wahlberg is the sexiest hunk of man on the face of the Earth and I
was like he he wears 54 so I was like that's pretty cool isn't he like wasn't
he convicted or something Mark wellberg really shut up I might be thinking the
wrong person I don't think
so you've got to be kidding me yeah huh
yeah he was like yeah I don't know well he can still
be sexy even if uh even if he has a bit of a checkered past so new slash lus is
into Bad Boys yeah I'm not ashamed of
it all right so that's pretty much it 54 club and let's move on to our next topic
shall we all right uh so next what we got I think we
we jumped all over the place new extreme editions are rumored to be coming very
soon I think calling this a rumor at this point is um it's been rumored to be
coming at like a fairly specific date for a long time every rumor is like yep
just don't forget so it's we thought it was this
time a while ago it's rumored to be uh
priced at $1,000 just like whoa
surprising Every Other Extreme Edition ever um but what's exciting about the
rumors for Haswell e so this is Intel's upcoming Enthusiast slw workstation
grade processors is that the lower end
chips even the lowest end one so the 82
the 5820k allegedly 5820k is going going
to allegedly rumored be a six core up
until now processors like the
4820k have just not made a lot of sense to me like I guess if I only need a quad
core there's a reason why that one's in the thermal Ben I specifically only need
a quad core but I really need 64 gigs of
RAM or more unbuffered memory 64 gigs of un
sure someone can find a use for that like if I if I but but but I don't need
a six core that's that's the one I don't understand I'm going to buy all that RAM
but I don't need the six that baller expensive motherboard mhm and not spend
the like little bit more so those quad cores on LGA 2011 have always been a bit
of a a bit of a black sheep to me whereas now we're going to get an 8 Core
Extreme Edition this is the first time Intel has differentiated an extreme
Edition based on the number of cores since the 980x so we're going to get an
8 Core Extreme Edition and then we are going to get a six core step down and
then a six core hopefully like $350 to $400 range CPU which all of
this is really exciting hopefully maybe but hopefully maybe possibly um I would
love being one of the like rumor writers for the the sites that kind of spread
rumors around especially for Intel stuff like price for the extreme Edition
$9.99 crazy balls right yeah the other ones are a little more difficult yeah
because you have to memorize different numbers but uh oh the other thing is
that theat form will use ddr4 so we could be looking at higher speeds lower
power consumption higher density cost could be looking at yeah but the cost is
expected to be extremely high for ddr4
initially for the adopters I'll be I'll be I mean really the extreme Edition
might end up being the only one that actually makes any sense yep because
you're going to get a qu you're going to get a uh an octacore as opposed to a six
core and you're going to have to pay a premium for it but you're going to get
an octacore and then you're going to have to pay a premium for that RAM but you're going to get an octacore whereas
buying older LGA 2011 ivybridge E CPUs
and DDR3 is probably going to make a lot more sense something like a 4930k where
you get a six core and DDR3 saving money on both of those because the new ones
are out because it'll be ddr4 which will hopefully Drive the price of DDR3 down
because damn what's been happening to that lately uh your factory had problems
a long time ago Bros bring that price back down um originally posted on the
Forum by Ewan Ewan you
in whatever can't see it I give up the
division might have microtransactions remember remember that
talk we had about Ubisoft and how they they didn't like DRM they were like yeah
we're going to remove DRM by not removing DRM this is their
solution more microtransactions because hopefully you
can't pirate those you know what I actually I mean
this was moved into uh rapid fire topics but I I thought it was actually a pretty
interesting we were more just running out of time to be completely honest oh
okay that one was a fairly yeah where's that bloody hell what are you looking
for I'm looking for that EA article where they were basically
justifying microtransactions saying that uh core Gamers uncomfortable with change
yeah there it is yeah Peter Moore from EA comes out saying core gamers are
uncomfortable with change and that's basically the reason that people are are
upset about the changing landscape which would be Mobile gaming
microtransactions and like I I see I see
why people don't like it and he acknowledges why people don't like it and says you know what it's totally fair
to not like it but he just kind of says well look I think that what we have to
understand is that that's the way the industry is going and all you have to
really do is look at companies that are
just trying to maintain that traditional
$60 title mindset we're going to sell you a $60
title and then everything else is just GNA kind of you know we're going to do
it the old way and Gamers aren't necessarily satisfied when that happens
I mean I don't know if that's necessarily the truth because it seems like what gamers are very unsatisfied
about is being hit with both at the same time that's a good point because like
look at CD project red I don't see anyone complaining about Witcher I don't
see Witcher having any problems that's true that's a good point and they're
like the only ones that are actually doing just one attack everyone else is
like $60 title here's a butt ton of DLC
also by the way microtransactions on the side it's not fair to say everyone else
I mean you know there are MMOs that just have a subscription there are which one
actually a lot of them have microtransactions now okay forget it Eve has microtransactions wow has a
microtransaction where you can make your character max level um like I actually
that's quite serious when I said which one the only one I can guess the issue
with the traditional way with no microtransactions with just paying for
it up front is that gamers are going to be ultimately unsatisfied when that
company can't afford to support the multiplayer anymore for example and the
servers end up getting shut down now the obvious solution to this is they should
let us run our own servers in the first place
but I don't know maybe if they just give
something back my my favorite thing posted on this
thread was okay this topic is just making me sad my favorite thing posted
on this thread was that uh what What's the principal in The Simpsons Skinner
yeah yeah yeah yeah am I out of touch no
just the people that are wrong it's the children that are wrong it's the children that are wrong it's like
actually no you're just wrong attacking people on every possible front DLC full
price game microtransactions and possibly even a subscription is not the
way to make a happy customer okay he does make a good point about customers
being willing to give money in this way and therefore as a business if you want
to survive you have to leverage that that also doesn't need to be all your
games and that's true it doesn't need to be all your games but you have to look
at the success of something like Candy Crush Saga and go if lineus media but
that's one thing like I don't see anyone complaining that mobile games exist I've
never heard of that complaint I would complain about Candy Crush saga's
implementation of microtransactions I no I mean mobile games in general oh yeah
I'm not complaining that they exist I'm just it's it's more of an like his his
his quotes here are actually pretty good it's more of an observation that this is
really successful and as much as that
that old you know that Old Guard core audience of the more hardcore Gamers
doesn't like it new gamers are being
brought in onto the gaming scene used to that but you can do it in good ways I
don't know that many people that complain about the microtransactions in League of Legends that's I never have
I've found them to be completely fine and I personally know someone who spent like two grand leg Legends and Team
Fortress 2 is another great example foress 2 fine totally fine Counter
Strike I've spent an okay amount of money on counter- strike just opening
freaking cases cuz I'm an idiot it's not like okay amount of money
is not that much I haven't spent that much usually it's I'll spend what I get
off of selling the cards okay you know you know how you get the cards you can
sell the cards no uh I have never I I actually believe I own Team Fortress 2
items I have never once looked at them I haven't for Team Fortress well I've
looked at them but I'm just saying I I have I the one time I have while you
play while you play a lot of games now on Steam you gain these trading card
things you can sell them for steam bucks and then you can spend that steam money
buying a key which will open a box which you can then probably sell the item from
because it's probably not even good it has been proven that it is more
much more cost effective to just buy the item than to buy the key to open the box
because the chance of something coming out of that box that is worth anything is so low
like insanely low people have even made websites that are that are dedicated to
like capturing the experience of opening the box so you get infinite keys in a
box and it's a random number generator that'll be like you got this item so it can prove how much you've lost it's like
yeah it's not worth it even if you wanted to buy like a $60 rifle skin it's
better to just buy it than open that many
boxes so basically it's Pokemon cards all over again yeah okay don't don't buy
the booster pack just buy the damn card but then actually just don't buy either
and then there you go the best part the coolest sorry the the coolest part I've
seen is when me and my friends will be playing and someone will accidentally take one of the skins off of one of
their rifles and they're like whoa it looks cool it's it's like blackout cuz it's
all black everyone has so many skins that
once the Skins come off and you just see the blacked out gun it actually looks
pretty cool I'm like wow you are giving
me such a headache right
now doesn't help that it's like insanely hot in this room all right you wanted to
move on I think this has been our worst show in a long time and yet there are
4,800 people watching I don't think it's been the worst show you're just sad that
doesn't mean it's the worst show I guess if they just want to watch
me be sad and angry and your shirt came off and my
shirt did come off are you like my shirt
came off during probably the worst sponsor integration that I've ever done
it's like you spent the whole time looking for the okay guys here I don't
do this often but please if you want a
subscription clothing service please go check out 54 Club because otherwise they
are going to drop me so hard because that was
terrible I said some numbers that are wrong so I'm going to buy time and look
through emails and EV find it I couldn't find
the email I'm not going to send them this part of the video so they're just
going to have to be amazed at like how many people signed up for a trial of 54
Club it really is a good deal with the $20 off deal right now so check it out
okay it's uh $120 MSRP worth of clothing
for 40 bucks and if you sign up for 120 MSRP you get the $20 off so it's 40
bucks so it's 40 bucks you should just try it for one month because otherwise
I'm going to look terrible whereas if like I do the worst integration ever and
the results are amazing they're going to be like wow we should probably do more
of those yeah we should we should like we should like do we should have him screw it up all the time we'll purposely
give him the wrong numbers now won matter he probably won't remember it's
okay oh I'm just a bad person I guess okay so this is posted on the Forum by
symbolizer 21 and the original article from geek.com it's going to be
approximately 70 bucks and as much as
this is like kind of cool um I don't
think it's necessarily very smart this is like it's like a a cooler it's it's
got 62 fet of heat pipes in it apparently which is just expensive for
no reason like heat pipes are good for
carrying heat somewhere they're actually not very good for dissipating it to the
air a a cylinder is actually very
efficient from an internal volume to external surface surface area
perspective not because it has a lot of surface area and very little internal
volume it's the other way around so it it it has very little surface area but
it has a lot of heat pipes and it's just like okay so the company recommends it
for core i3s and core i5s only but not core i7s and the thing that people need
to remember about passive coolers is that they're just basically all a bad
idea because a passive cooler you would
only use if you want to have like an extremely silent PC and if you have an
extremely silent PC then you probably
have a mostly passive rest of your system and passive coolers are not
designed to work correctly without system cooling around them so it's like
a catch 22 you can't win so just focus
on getting very quiet things everywhere
extremely Quiet Things very low RPM
spinning like noct noise blocker fans Yeah by all the Noctua
I refuse to acknowledge noise blocker because they're not noct TOA no but
seriously noise blocker stuff's really good I'm like what I just don't Fanboy
over it cuz you've never even tried them actually I haven't they've never
contacted me I've never contacted them it's not it's not because we hate each
other it's I know I know I know I'm just saying just is what it
is I don't know it's hard to beat the new industrial looking noct to fans they
look kind of amazing yeah they do look kind of amazing but I fixed that problem
might be able to beat it at some point um speaking speaking of beating it I think that's pretty much it we're going
to beat it see you later guys thanks for
watching uh we'll be back same bat Time same bat Channel apparently you guys
mostly enjoyed the show this week even though I thought it was like the worst
show ever so I am just immensely grateful to all almost 5,000 of you for
tuning in and uh and watching us thanks
guys see you next week bye
everyone no not that one where's my thing no I'm
starting it over it's it's fix I don't care put it
fix there I want the thing to play had
enough of this show being a
failure oh oh Highlander Highlander
videos oh the music is loud hold on
uh guys Highlander content is coming
very soon first we have to beat it Sunday
night really really you're going to say that you know we're like on TV
basically what we're probably on someone's TV oh I hope oh this is
actually I have something to point out for you guys if you haven't entered
already speaking of Highlander this is like kind of a big deal um o yeah so one
of the laptops that came with us to the top of the mountain that we actually
gamed on we play we know who it was it's mine okay yeah I played doom on this
laptop on the top of a mountain against Logan and Kane and Luke and Paul and
Kyle and all those guys and then I had them all sign it so it's signed by me
Logan Kane I killed him once Paul and
Kyle okay this laptop you can win it in
our review of the G550 JK I'm just going
to post the link in the twitch chat all you guys have to do is go watch the
review go watch the review pick your favorite thing about the G550 JK post it
in that Forum thread and then you will have a chance to win this piece of
record-breaking gaming history and uh just a heads up guys Logan's giving away
his too so stay tuned for that sometime in the next however long I think he
pretty busy right now so there you go people are asking is 5,000 viewers a lot
uh I I think so I think so if 5,000
people listen to me saying something how twitch Works be able to get a ton of
viewers usually need to go for quite a while because it takes so long for the subscription email to go out so because
we have a scheduled show that's very short it doesn't offer itself very and
you know what's funny is I didn't even tweet in the middle of the show to be
like hey please come watch that usually helps a lot because the email doesn't
freaking go out right now I got people on my 24-hour stream that were messaging
me when it was over being like where are
you this is kind of Afterparty material right now isn't it yeah it is you know
what I I actually I don't think I I don't what the hell what are they doing
they're throwing freaking candy it's Taran throwing candy at the
window hey can you cut that out that actually
sounds like it's like not good for the window it's
gumballs go home go home I've had enough
