it was when show time about 20 minutes about 20 minutes ago thank you for your patience um those of you who are watching on youtube in a certain way not very meaningful to you we were on time today in some time zone we were on time it's five o'clock somewhere which is irrelevant because we don't start at five yeah wait yes we do oh crap but not in that time zone no not my uh um can we blame uh daylight saving time uh oh yeah that was last week yep so actually no one's gonna be watching this week anyway like i go look at the viewership statistics probably everyone was like um everyone everywhere else in the world probably thinks that it doesn't start for an hour it doesn't start for another hour yeah so no we're for we're 40 minutes early whoa oh my goodness we are early for like most of the world that's fantastic we are so good at this yes like online content creators yeah um all right so we've got a great show for you guys today yeah we specifically went out of our way to avoid talking about it last week and the reason was that honestly i just needed a little bit more time to figure out what the heck was going on here the g-force partner program yeah on the surface this looks like some pretty jank pretty scummy stuff and um below the surface um well we'll talk about it later um but yeah i mean realistically if i was gonna say it's all good i would have said that before yes um there was another big news item this week security flaws found in AMD zen processors uh from cts Labs wow that's been a drama and a half so i think that even technically started last week too but especially this one super muddy waters last week and it's a little bit a little bit more clear now like still kind of confusing did you ever play the game at the beach where you would like you would like stomp and then you'd get like the like the kind of godzilla looking cloud that comes out around your foot and you'd be like oh that was fun stomp and then you would get to the point where you couldn't really see the cloud anymore because it's because you just mucked up everything so that was last week now we've left it for a few hours and like we can go sort of stomp around a bit again but it's not it's not clear either what else we got okay um apparently another NVIDIA thing they're both just slamming it this week apparently they're going to announce rtx or ray tracing technology which is pretty interesting and another company's removing another headphone jack well it's the same headphone jack yeah that's fair well i guess it's a different headphone jack you know what well it's the same kind that's just really interesting yeah this video brought to you by spectra and fresh books can you eat either of those things no that's a real bummer because i'm super hungry i was like i thought i thought you were like spilling into a spot for the other guys no oh no okay no no not really i'm sure you could have these oh i'm not going to eat reaper jerky savage jerky's not sponsoring like they're right there yeah they're right there and i'd feel better well first i'd feel worse then i'd feel better and then i feel much worse all right why don't we jump into the news um this is going to be like not very many topics but a very long time yeah i'm not ready for the GeForce partner program are we jumping to that not yet yeah yeah let's talk about let's talk about something kind of trivial wow you and i are gonna have to play uh what's going on we're gonna have to play share the power adapter over the next little bit here because i've only gotten ten percent but that's okay i'm gonna oh i'm on battery saver already well okay then i'm gonna turn down my screen brightness a bit okay sony removed the headphone jack from the xperia xz2 and xz2 compact uh they outlined the details of why they did this in their blog this was originally posted on the forum by die hard live uh would you what do you mind doing die hard to live die hard to live yeah i can do a straw pool heck yeah do you even consider sony phones when buying a phone that is a fantastic straw poll would you consider a sony phone now yeah here in north america sony's market share is like this is one of the reasons why i want to do this poll though because we don't necessarily have just a north american audience exactly it'll be a little skewed because we're live right now yeah if this was the if we were able to get these results from the youtube audience i think it would be different than what it's going to be now someday when we're streaming on Floatplane and that stream we can then go we could have like perpetual pulling that like sits right under the video and that would be super cool that would totally work um i mean yeah it's all sort of theoretical at this point because Floatplane is not particularly fully featured at the moment um last week i'm not trying to be a jerk or anything last week hit a little deep that that comments fair though yeah uh okay so i've gone ahead and i've dropped the straw poll in there but this was originally posted on the forum by die hard to live and they basically outlined the two reasons for removing the headphone jack that subjectively um are probably about the worst reasons that you could do anything and contribute to um in my opinion oh my god was that actually okay i hadn't read their two reasons before was that actually it or did we just like come up with that contribute to probably why i think probably why the straw poll results will be what i think they will be so it's not good go ahead and pull up the results here would you consider a sony phone remember we didn't say would you buy a sony phone yeah we said would you even consider would you even think about it at all uh we've got 26 percent of you saying yes 74 percent of you saying no and only 500 of you even bothering to vote which is some pretty low numbers for these when show struggles which i'm going to put that category as a wow i really don't care and no one is even no one is even still voting like the results aren't even rolling in anymore oh wait yes that yes they are oh oh and it died off pretty hard at 6 35. it died off pretty hard it's like still kind of going it's not okay so here are the reasons that sony outlined for making this decision and you got to remember the the strong opinion on this would be a yes anyone thinking no like it's kind of effort for them to be like yeah no so like there's probably a way higher percentage of people that actually wouldn't consider but anyway reason number one it looks more sleek without it so by that logic a human would probably look more sleek without an anus but you probably shouldn't remove it reason number two i thought you were gonna hold it together on that one but you couldn't no not quite reason number two other companies are doing it oh so painful now in fairness is that actually what they said in fairness to sony in fairness to sony hold on a second um here okay look do you want me to read the whole thing this is part of the shift to our new ambient flow design language in order to create the beautiful seamless design our designers needed to remove the headphone jack plus we were aware of the major market trend towards wireless headphones over wired headphones so yes they literally did they literally did say that um so okay in fairness to sony in defense of sony something that i'm not a hundred percent sure if they deserve right now um no one cares about their phones anyways no that is not what i was going to say be clear there i was also kidding in fairness to sony i never oh i never said the announcement video live i was trying to figure out why so few people i used to like their phones until we had so many of them just bend in half yeah uh well two i think three burkles mine yours burkles did too yeah oh i didn't even know that yeah how do you manage to do that it was a compact oh the compacts have the same issue as just less likely it was just burkle he's an action man um probably more action in his pants wow i meant like wow okay actually my defense of sony is actually worse than anything you've said in defensive in sony's defense the last time they tried to do something really innovative that was probably really expensive from an r d perspective because remember sony was the one that made waterproof mainstream that was cool that was very cool that's why i used to really like their phone and then they still didn't manage to sell more phones because of it but that's a whole other issue the last time they tried to do something they were the first to have a 4k display now creating a 4k mobile display you guys got to understand when you have a feature on your phone let's say oneplus uh launches a 2560 by 1080 mobile display oneplus did not go and get that freaking panel created they are a relatively small player and when you're a relatively small player doing relatively small volume you don't get to walk up to samsung's display division or lg or uh auo or phillips or whoever it is you don't get to walk up and be like yo we need a custom sku it needs to have this color gamut uh this uh response time it needs to be this size at this resolution they're gonna laugh you out of their office you get to do that when you're apple when you're samsung believe it or not apple's notch display was custom created just for them because until apple did it of course after apple does it which ties into sony's other reasons yeah of course other people want it but until apple did it nobody else was gonna want that okay um so so sony would have had to actually create a 4k mobile display in that form factor for that phone that quite honestly they probably didn't sell a ton of based on our straw poll results and also you can just google it and just see like the people around you what phones they're using so they didn't yeah when's the last time you saw one so so sony didn't probably get a great roi on that particular you know breaking the mold kind of investment although even then giving them credit for breaking the mold in that way is not entirely fair because they were just following an overall market trend they were just trying to get out ahead of it in a way that was totally meaningless and stupid yes and almost never even worked anyways the phone ran in default 1080p almost all the time and then you'd like view a picture that was in 4k and you'd have to wait a second and then it would just like and then change resolution it was really weird it was very odd almost everything ran at 1080p but anyways so i can see how they don't want to take any risks because you have to move a lot of devices to make up for any kind of r d investment beyond just even the basics um but i'm just i'm disappointed i i was thrilled to see that samsung still had the headphone jack on the s9 and s9 plus um i think that you know what yeah the mainstream is moving to wireless but samsung is going to sell some handsets just for that and i really hope that they do get rewarded for it yeah all right what do we got for our next topic here oh should we get into the invasion these are all big deep ones i just have such this thing if you want to go pretty light and easy no no let's just let's just get this out of the way okay so the g-force partner program this was originally posted on the forum this is actually an 11-page topic over on our forum and it was posted by wm groom ak and this lady or gentleman whichever it is um okay let's go ahead and get screen share going on here uh basically read an article over on hard ocp from kyle bennett and said this found all of this interesting if his reporting checks out because basically and and this is sort of the problem this came to light from AMD bringing some of the details of what's called the g-force partners program or gpp to his attention and you gotta look at that's yeah you gotta look at no matter who it is like i i get that whoever you're a fanboy of whether it's AMD or Intel or NVIDIA i get that there's this like tribalism thing that's that's wired into us as human beings and when someone else does it it's the worst and when we do it it's just us getting back at them for being bad people but you got to understand that any time any any company brings something to your attention oh hey um have you noticed them doing this there's an agenda at play there's room for spin almost every action is selfish whether it's helpful to other people or not there's some amount of element that is usually selfish which is okay in a lot of cases but it's just something to be aware of yes it's you got to live your life sort of thinking about that in everything that you do so the basic summary is that the story began when several sites including heart ocp were alerted to the goings-on by a uh by AMD in a blog post from march 1st NVIDIA outlined their new GeForce partner program which ostensibly helps consumers identify brands that deliver the g-force promise of delivering the best pc gaming platform bar none so let's go ahead and pull up NVIDIA's blog post that NVIDIA is very good at this oops there we go uh let's pull up NVIDIA's blog post that NVIDIA is so good at this um sort of puts it in the shiniest possible terms what they're doing here this is the headline the GeForce partner program helps gamers know what they're buying oh boy i was having trouble figuring out what i was buying before i'm sure glad that i know now like last stream we talked about how confusing Intel skus are yeah graphics card skews are not a huge problem on the NVIDIA side yeah actually and even on the AMD side yeah it's pretty straightforward they're not that bad higher number is more better there was a little bit of confusingness for a section there but it's kind of the first number is the generation and then beyond that higher is more better i think it got a little bit confusing on the AMD side when we had like fury and nano and actually no NVIDIA does have some stupid bs going on right now where the three gig and the six gig version of the 1060 are actually different cards yeah yeah uh okay that's fair so hold on a second well wait a minute is NVIDIA rescuing us from themselves is that what's happening right now we also had that stuff where the titan xp and the titan xp that that was okay that was really annoying that was really so um especially when the whole community nicknamed the first one the xp yeah and then they called their next one the xp okay okay so fine okay fine you know what then let's play let's play NVIDIA advocate uh go wait let's play NVIDIA advocate and say they did need to do something about this confusing industry so let's have a look at what they said the oh man wow this starts off horrible like right within the first two lines the GPU and software of a gaming pc make all the difference in a gamer's experience and together with our add-in card and system partners we're dedicated to building the best pc gaming platform bar none this is the GeForce promise partner program is designed to ensure that gamers have full transparency into the GPU platform and software they're being sold now i'm a i'm a let you finish but do you ever read stuff that just makes you like tired i'm doing it right now because i'm sure where you were going with yeah i'mma let you finish but there was no ambiguity here there there's already marketing incentives and in some cases like basically an ARM twisted behind the back like this where NVIDIA really has a lot of control over the the badges that are put on for example a product box or in the case of add-in cards even the overall design like you could take a picture from the side of an entire shelf of cards made by MSI ASUS Gigabyte evga and all the NVIDIA ones would be basically the same yeah they're really because NVIDIA has mandated and they have lots of levers they can pull to control their partners but NVIDIA has mandated that they need to kind of look like this and the levers that they can pull include pricing um allocation of the hot parts that actually sell um partner support so things like providing engineering support for your custom boards um access early access to the parts so you can begin development ahead of other guys and if all this kind of stuff has existed forever and it's like totally kind of fine kind of kind of there's there's some issues in some realms but most of it is fairly standard practice okay fine is a relative term most of this is fairly standard practice for a lot of different industries yeah depending on how it's done so the thing is that we we get a lot of uh we we get a lot of sort of feedback from our community that the perception is that we're sort of like friends of NVIDIA but the reality of it is we're not friends with anybody um we are a business and we have business partnerships and from a product perspective we like NVIDIA products just fine from a um sort of how we perceive their reputation within the industry we have some misgivings ones that we have brought to light in the past uh particularly actually i think probably the most recent example is the 1066 gig and three gig that's an extremely recent example we didn't like the way they did that well i mean like we mentioned at this show but there's also the recent change to GeForce experience yes we've also mentioned that which was like we put them on blasts for that and i still don't install it and i still don't recommend it and while i am not always at liberty to talk about especially the sources of the the the um the frustration with NVIDIA that takes place behind the scenes there's a lot of it that we're aware of and there's a lot of ARM twisting and uh you know it's you know think about it think NVIDIA is like the partner that stands there posing for a picture with you and has their foot on your toe yeah being like smile properly man that's the perception that i get a lot of the time please come say hi so let's continue reading about the g-force promise here this transparency into what you're buying is only possible when NVIDIA brands and partner brands are consistent so the new program means that we'll be promoting our gpp partner brands across the web on social media events and more so this sounds like oh NVIDIA's is doing great things for their partners gpp partners will also get early access to our latest innovations and work closely with our engineering team to bring the newest technologies to gamers partners are signing up fast they see the benefit of keeping brands and communication consistent and transparent does this not have like a um uh which which harry potter movie is it where uh uh umbridge takes over the school as the the professor the the the the prim and proper yeah you know lady who turns out to be like an absolute monster i don't know the name of it but i think it's the second last one yeah i don't know i don't remember anyway it's like not really important yeah the point is does this not have like yeah kind of a rules for you know proper behavior as students kind of vibe to it the program isn't exclusive partners continue to have the ability to sell and promote products from anyone partners choose to sign up for the program and they can stop participating at any time there's no commitment to make any monetary payments or product discounts for being part of the program gpp ensures our engineering and marketing efforts support brands consumers associate with g-force that transparency will give gamers the confidence needed to make their purchase whichever products they choose now i don't often feel the need to read out an entire press release from a company because a lot of the time frankly i feel like companies should pay me to read their stupid press release like honestly press releases that's not journalism that's not object that's not objective that's advertising they literally pay someone to write it and then they pay like market wire to distribute it that that's what it is um okay so on the surface this sounds like everything about this is voluntary and terrific but let's look at the state of the GPU market right now if you if you can get gpus you are making bank because of the whole cryptocurrency mining thing and pent up demand from gamers who haven't been able to get gpus because of the cryptocurrency mining thing if you can't get gpus you are basically plum out of luck and NVIDIA without doing anything that could open them up to a lawsuit can plausibly say we just didn't have enough for you you were on the list sorry and if you're let's say someone like evga for example you have other businesses you sell motherboards you sell crazy ridiculously high wattage power supplies yeah you sell power supplies you sell cases even but let's be honest when's the last time you saw an evga motherboard out in the wild so they sell they sell motherboards but do they sell a lot of them compared to someone like an ASUS or a Gigabyte no not really and that isn't to say that they're bad boards that's just to say that they aren't as popular and that evga's business is very reliant on gpus so if evga couldn't get allocation of gpus to say that their business would suffer would be a gross understatement so NVIDIA's blog post outlining how this is all very voluntary it just ensures that they get the benefits of being part of the partner program it comes across a little bit disingenuous because that's not what's going on here what's going on is that if you don't join the partner program you're not going to get allocation and your business is going to suffer and you're going to have to lay off real people with real families who won't have a job anymore and won't be able to support them and that's something that if i'm a company like evga that for the most part my experience with them has actually been very positive i would like to believe that they care about um so you're pretty much joining the GeForce partner program so let's go to the heart ocp article huge shout out to kyle for for doing what he was doing here so hard ocp began interviewing aibs and oems i'm going to re-share this in twitch checks i showed it wow yeah go ahead hit twitch chat with that it's really important um so they began interviewing aibs and oems who communicated a few things one that the GeForce partner program has terms in it that are likely illegal number two that the GeForce partner program is going to likely tremendously hurt consumer choice and number three that the GeForce partner program will disrupt business with companies that are currently doing business with AMD in particular AMD and Intel the other thing that he gleaned and we haven't been able to verify this because here's what you guys got to understand i don't i've never seen the agreement and i know for a fact i will never see the agreement it would shock me if anyone ever saw this agreement out in the public but what i know about agreements like this is that let's say for example that uh uh um a gag order was done in an illegal fashion let's say i made you sign some kind of an agreement that says this is a very spicy agreement yeah spicy agreement okay if you talk about this agreement i will kill you and you will authorize me to kill you oh okay obviously illegal but let's say it wasn't murder let's say it was something slightly less black and white than that like i'll kill your company yeah like that which to a lot of people is kind of close yeah i mean people have committed suicide over their companies yeah so let's say that it was something like that you could you could you could you could break the agreement at some point but until you fight me in court and prove that depending on the way it's wording because expensive lawyers can do expensive lawyer things depending on the way it's worded the onus could be on you to prove that you don't owe me whatever it was so your business could effectively be destroyed in the years and after the money that it costs you to fight me so even though i have an illegal term and i have a potentially illegal punishment for it you don't want to be the one who steps out of line because i can punish you in the meantime in ways that would destroy you to the point where it would never matter if what i did was illegal because you wouldn't even exist to take a payout anymore five years ten years down the road when you would be in a position to finally get your payout now that is a real possibility and i'm not saying that i know that that's what's happening but what i do know is that nobody is coughing up this agreement and i do know that agreements like this do exist okay so with all of that in mind further information that hart ocp is publishing alleges that the GeForce partner program and i think okay to to i'm not disagreeing with anything that you're saying okay but to play a little bit both sides oh i know i know but to play a little bit of both sides yeah alleges is a pretty important word here like there's a lot of as well according to kyle bennett's article on heart ocp and a lot of it makes sense and i'm explaining how it could make sense but it lines up pretty okay but like okay yeah so thank you yeah are you at our legal department i was sort of at one point long time ago um but okay i don't want to talk about this but like yeah i just want to make sure that's clear because while this might make sense and all that kind of stuff it's not technically complete it's it's all alleges okay so kyle's article further alleges that in order to have access to the GeForce partner program partners must have their own gaming brand aligned exclusively with g-force now think about that for a minute because that's been a huge trend over the last 10 years or so i think rog just celebrated its 10-year anniversary with the rampage five extreme they had a 10-year anniversary edition of that port and rog was one of the to ASUS credit this was ASUS doesn't always get marketing right but to ASUS's credit they built the rog brand when i called it a stupid idea way back in the day so kudos to them and uh the rest of the industry basically was playing follow the leader and that's yeah i would also say they they have nailed it a few times ASUS's rog um gigabytes aorus um lenovo's legion uh who else do we have dell's xps or alienware to a greater extent xps is less gaming these days it used to be different engine has been having more of an issue getting its well they just launched that's fair like ces 15 months ago or something like that so give them some time but it also alleges that all of these brands will have to be exclusively aligned with g-force so even though NVIDIA's blog post says partners continue to have the ability to sell and promote products from anyone the gpp documentation allegedly says that those who do not participate will lose benefits like high effort engineering engagements early tech engagement launch partner status game bundling sales rebate programs i'll get back to that one social media and pr support marketing reports and marketing development funds so let's get back to sales rebate programs and marketing development funds for a minute here the way the tech industry works and there's a reason for it because if you gave every mom and pop computer shop a one dollar discount they would take it straight to price and sell the product for cheaper which as a consumer you might go wow that's great but it isn't necessarily because we talked about this previously when Intel wasn't providing the support that we feel like they should on their previous generation chipsets um in terms of patching for spectre and meltdown but the problem with just charging the bear amount is that it doesn't give you the the business um war chest that you need to well to go to war in the event that you have to and it's one of those things where it kind of relies on a business to behave in a manner that is in good faith acting in the consumer's best interest but a business that is making a healthy profit is in a better position to as an extreme example still exist a year later when you come back for warranty support you actually need the companies that you buy things from to make a profit yeah does that make sense okay so anyway the problem with the it industry is that it tends to be and it's kind of a cultural thing i'm not going to get any deeper into it than that but it tends to be a race to zero industry volume volume volume take down as much margin as you can so you can take the volume that your competitor would have been doing force them under and then someday we'll raise the prices yeah and you do eventually see that like the hard drive industry enjoyed a short period of great margins when basically everyone was gone and then they were supplanted by the SSD industry in the mainstream and to be clear hard drives are still doing fine in the cloud they're not going away or anything but that business is a b2b business which tends to be lower margins so there was like a there was like a golden hour there for the hard drive industry uh here do you need this yeah go for it um right so the way that the tech industry works is that the pricing is fixed you just say okay look a core i5 8600k that's 200 u.s and then the way that you actually provide promotions or the way that you make someone like formerly so when i worked at ncix the way that ncix was able to differentiate from mom and pop shops was not the sticker price it was the back end support because every CPU we sold we got a couple percentage kickback at the end of a quarter and every CPU we sold well you know during black friday we might get five bucks or 10 bucks off now all of a sudden mom and pop in order to compete with us have to sell below cost giving us an advantage that's the way that you actually stay competitive and to be clear this isn't some kind of like subversive cloak and dagger nonsense because within sort of the the mainstream stores that you shop at best buy new egg i mean okay some of these are kind of dated references tiger direct memory express canada computers um uh micro center uh amazon the programs are basically across the board pretty similar and whenever someone finds out that they get a god approach that someone else got a program that they didn't there's outrage and usually the brand ends up kind of doing something to make it up to you and then the other guy complains about that it's all negotiations it's business as usual now the problem here is that with gpus in particular NVIDIA maintains a lot of control over the pricing at every level to the partners and to the end users through tools like these kinds of rebates so they sell the chipset to the vendor at some price x but then NVIDIA could decide a week later to go well you know what here's a sell-through rebate effectively lowering the price without actually lowering the sticker price meaning that someone who has a multi-week in some cases lead time between acquiring chips and then turning them into boards delivering them to retailers and eventually selling through them might effectively have a bunch of stock that's overpriced now and no real recourse for getting rid of it and so it's at NVIDIA's discretion to support you to get rid of it which is a fairly direct way a fairly strong but indirect way to sort of choke out a company that's right so game bundling mdf and sales rebate programs are basically like saying you'll never make money on graphics cards again if you were to remove all that stuff yeah okay um i forget where we were going with this but partner brand aligned exclusively with NVIDIA partners have the ability to sell and promote products from anyone but the allegedly this behind-the-scenes documentation says they'll get all of this support cut and to be clear the public documentation doesn't say any of that okay heart ocp has been told that if a company does not participate in gpp they feel not by NVIDIA yeah as if NVIDIA would hold back allocation of gpus from their inventories this has not been spelled out contractually but the feeling is that it's done on a wink and a nod to be fair they said that the stuff we just mentioned losing all these different things was in the documentation this is a feeling yeah the allocation bit is a feeling and then the next part that we're going to talk about is also a like feeling yeah so it was expressed to heart ocp that publishing that article could damage heart ocps relationship with NVIDIA which well we've gotten to the end of it now i guess i guess we're in the same boat look at that but knowing uh and like okay to jump all the way back to the beginning of this conversation in terms of uh like there's always there's very extremely massively often i'm not going to say always because someone's going to call me on that in some weird way but there there's basically always a selfish reason for everything whether it's all this region is tiny or huge whatever um saying hey if you release this NVIDIA is going to be mad well saying that to heart ocp was probably pushing them to release it um because then again maybe not kyle's been in the industry a long time and he's deeply connected they may have actually had his best interest at heart possibly but from articles that i've read from him before too no issue but pushing that kind of stuff but let's go let's go let's let's take the helicopter up another thousand feet and let's go why were they talking to him at all yeah yeah seriously so so the particular warning might have been in kyle's best interest but the fact that they're talking to him at all is probably in their own best interest and i'm sure they know that he likes juicy articles and also for the consumer's best interest potentially like because remember there there could be a selfish kernel but that doesn't mean that it doesn't benefit a whole bunch of people and that you couldn't don't know how much rationalize the benefit you're providing to yourself by saying well it also helps out all these other guys which is great in a lot of situations that's honestly mostly how charity works but yeah like you just don't know how much how much of this is helping other people how much of this is selling and for kyle to talk about how this article could damage the relationship with NVIDIA you can find a selfish colonel there too by saying that he's adding credibility to his own publication by saying you know what i'm willing to risk damaging my relationship with NVIDIA in order to bring you guys the facts and in this case this actually does look to me and i do i haven't seen the partner agreement and i won't admit to having talked to anyone about this behind the scenes but this looks to me like it actually does have the potential to damage a relationship with NVIDIA NVIDIA is um well it comes back to the portrait NVIDIA smiles a lot and they they talk about partnership a lot and what they mean is they have expectations of their partners and if their partners don't meet them well hmm that's my perception and a lot of people think that we're like super super chummy with NVIDIA but i've said before in the past and i'll say it again now we have done a grand total of three sponsored engagements with NVIDIA we did some uh pre-rolls way back when we first started and those were actually that was a complicated thing because probably none of you even remember them it was 10 spots and they were all for a particular evga graphics card but the funding was being passed through via mdf from NVIDIA so that one hardly even registers number two we went down to california and hosted mod 24 their modding event we were paid what i consider to be a very modest fee for that kind of an engagement yeah and the number three this was the first time they had actually done flat out a sponsored video with us ever they did something with us in q4 talking about how to game at 4k they were actually pretty easy to work with which was kind of refreshing um because we were able to talk about game consoles as well we kept it very objective and we told them up front we were like look we never actually work with you guys on sponsored stuff but there's this perception that we're in your pocket so you gotta understand we're gonna have to approach this very carefully yeah um and they were actually pretty cool about it but that's the extent of it we have worked far more extensively with AMD Intel ASUS uh i think we've done more stuff with MSI i mean certainly more stuff with the regular partners like um like uh squarespace uh zotac we haven't really done much big stuff with more than but we've done but we've done actually yeah we've done a fair bit with zotek yeah okay yeah yeah like most people so there you go so are we putting ourselves at risk given that the relationship was finally starting to warm up and we were really getting some stuff done like us a dedicated sponsored video with us is one of the one of the biggest things that a partner can do with us um and we finally did one with them given things we're starting to warm up yes we're putting ourselves at risk but given that our business survived just fine for the five years prior to that no it's not a ton so we're not going to act like white knights here or anything like that but i also said allegedly a lot we said allegedly a lot because perception and that i'm not going to admit to having talked to anyone i'm just i'm going to say this i haven't talked to anyone and i'm also going to say this i'm not always a hundred percent honest with you guys so you can read into that whatever you feel like speaking of honor there's a few there's a i want to add one thing before we jump into sponsor spots um but uh one thing i want to add to is some of this stuff is future traceable so you'll be able to tell yep just keep that in mind like one of the smart things you can do um if you're trying to keep uh an agreement under wraps is you could give everyone slightly different terms that's fair yeah and that way if it came to light you could kind of go okay it was one of them them or them and then something else came to light you could go it was them so even if i knew anything and i am being honest this is honest answers episode whatever this is haslin has seen the agreement the answer is no i have not seen it and i have been told by the people that i would never admit that i have talked to that i will never see it and that they will never tell me any details about it okay that actually did happen as well okay anyone that i won't admit that i talked to told me they would never show it to me and they would never tell me the details of it so that happened okay so there you go um yeah let's talk about let's talk about something like not horrible here's spectrum glasses hey like my my life is far less complicated right now talking about spectrum glasses instead of like stuff because this is just it's simple okay if you stare at a monitor all day the blue light a lot of blue light can be bad for your eyes yeah this filters it without having a huge impact on the color accuracy of the world around you um and compared to a software solution like flux or twilight um it's more effective there it's also kind of weird like i i've got a flux equivalent on my phone i don't know what it's called yeah um and it's kind of jarring yeah no it doesn't it doesn't work that way um they're stylish they've got tons of different styles to choose from including ones for kids um they're high quality like they feel good they feel good in the hand they got a one year warranty not just in the hand on your face too it's like spectrum it works great in your hand and on your face spectrum you'll want them in your hand you'll want it on your face that would actually be an interesting commercial for them to run it's just they like hand people glasses and they're like wow these feel these feel great and then they just like they won't put them on now try putting it on your face and the person's like you know you should you should try it on and they're like no it just it feels amazing so they're primarily focused on the canadian and u.s markets but they're expanding to europe and they offer shipping internationally check them out at spectrumglasses.com collections slash prospect or at the link right there i still think it's prospect prospects yeah yeah yeah i'm an idiot uh use offer code Linus to save 10 if i have a spectrum i would change our offer code to use offer code idiot i would read it i would read anything for money that's what people think of me so i might as well just do it just embrace it speaking of anything for money if you're a freelancer or a small business owner doing

with the allegedly thing everything's allegedly i love it um and then the other thing is people are saying that the offer code should just be id20 oh yeah that could work it's not a bad offer code you're pretty good i'm hungry enough to eat reaper jerky that's and i'm not being paid by savage that's pretty epic okay ask them for a sweater i don't think i've ever done that from a company before i liked their shirt i like the logo on their shirts i was like you guys should make a sweater and they replied they're like what kind because a high quality one maybe some of the freshest ingredients it tastes great and isn't bad for you turkey sweater oh my god that would be really gross actually but like your girlfriend be like i can't wait to get that off of you and she's just like that's probably not a good idea he well he asked if i wanted a hockey sweater or like a more american-style sweater i was like that was a good point it'd be kind of interesting to have a like oh hockey style savage jerky sweater that doesn't help the hiccups yeah water doesn't make it better oh no oh full plane under your Floatplane while you're all screwed up no do the AMD don't do do Floatplane do full play no do flip okay fine i hate you so much that was a big bite i haven't eaten in a while like you have to build up a you have to build up a tolerance i'm like straight up crying right now okay i thought i did bad last week videos on videos on Floatplane what are oems original equipment manufacturers i think everyone's heard this term yeah what is it we explain cool scraping thermal paste oh by the way you're looking at the new layout of the Floatplane site yeah in order scraping thermal paste is Intel's thermal paste actually that bad we get a bag full of processors delid them harvest the thermal paste and then use it on a liquid metal CPU against normal thermal paste cool all right ah NVIDIA's first sli gaming setup reconstructed okay 6 800 gts on an enforce board we've been working on that for a long time yep two thousand thousand two million dollar clean room drive savers data recovery tour you should watch this you like want to yeah i haven't seen it yet but i'm really excited Techquickie how does eye tracking work i saw that thumbnail i was like whoa testing the 56 core system holy sh we don't have bleeping on the lan lanchow this was a simultaneous or no this was a short window the laptop to buy right now the lg gram 2018 the added Thunderbolt great laptop um Intel CPU letters explained i don't think that's actually on youtube yet and then we do do some exclusive content not a ton but i tested the NVIDIA shield from the ncix auction so no spoilers but that's over there as well and i think that's pretty much it for us yeah i think that's all we got on there right now you're doing pretty good yeah you recovered quite a bit no i i have i have recovered okay so let's talk about the next completely aids topic posted by coaxial gamer on the forum security flaws discovered in AMD zen processors so this sounds on the surface like oh um either yeah you know what depending on what kind of a tinfoil hat you wear this could sound like a lot of things this could sound like Intel trying to make AMD look bad this could sound like um AMD actually having security flaws and like them being all like being up on their high horse when Intel was dealing with their flaws wow they're a bunch of jerks or it looks like it may even be possible that this was an independent group looking to make AMD stock perform poorly so they could short it so cts a security company based in israel announced tuesday that its researchers had found 13 critical security vulnerabilities that would let attackers access data stored on AMD's zen family processors including ryzen and even their epic server processors as well as install malware on them the vulnerabilities have been put into four groups called master key rise and fall fallout and camara thankfully nearly all of these vulnerabilities require root access in order to be exploited but it does get sketchy the researchers gave AMD less than 24 hours to look at the vulnerabilities and respond before publishing the report now that's not illegal but that is not considered to be industry not being a douche practices yeah um what else we got here standard vulnerability disclosure calls for at least 90 days so that the companies have time to address flaws properly google gave Intel six months to fix issues related to spectre and meltdown so if it's less than 90 days that could be like rivals like google and facebook being like i've got your thing yeah oh well you know we gave you enough time to fix it we're going public with this because it makes them look bad right it doesn't make you look that bad when a vulnerability goes public because everyone has issues when a vulnerability goes public but it's like already fixed so if you're trying to cause pr damage to someone you might go live in 30 days so that you could be like well they had a whole month to fix this yeah and kind of plausibly say that 24 hours that's not even enough time to check your email in some cases uh the researchers pre-briefed media and a company that makes money by shorting the stock market before going live with it viceroy research published an obituary for AMD just 30 minutes after cts Labs publicized the vulnerabilities so this is some sketchy stuff now i'm not saying that these researchers aren't qualified to do CPU research i don't know there's been a lot of weird stuff too like people tried to deep dive this and one of the ones that i saw was like someone figured out that the backgrounds and all the videos were stock photos so they're like they don't have real one on reddit they might not even have a real office or they may have a real office but it doesn't look like super pro like that yeah but at the same time if you pay attention to the backgrounds throughout the videos at one point in time they're like middle frame on a photo that was taken mostly at the floor so like the person would have to be standing on like a 70 degree angle off the ground this way yeah for it to be realistic like i don't think they're actually trying to fool people yeah it was also like a super over produced kind of video too like it had kind of a sleazy vibe to me but that's actually not surprising from a company that's probably not released a video like a kickstarter yeah except that the production values were pretty good so for some reason they spent money to make a good looking video but um here i think this is this is it there's a great article from uh reborn.com i'm gonna go ahead i'll post this for you guys banner but check this out like this is actually done well so they put money into looking like they had an office okay sort of but hold on but then look at this one like that's that's the floor those servers are reflecting on this photo is taken from the floor it's a reflective floor i think no no no oh i got that wrong yeah it's halfway down the server rack yeah never mind so all right um i thought that was the floor right here oh wait hold on are you great but no i i i don't know i'm not sure i don't i thought it was really reflective polished floor but now i i kind of think that's just halfway through this yeah so um does it does it look really really janky yes i guess that's basically all we have to say about that yeah so there may actually be security issues but um yeah there also might not be or they also might just be like giant jerks all right um NVIDIA's ray tracing thing we're like out of time is there anything else that's like absolutely critical that we have to talk about this week i feel so bad james spent all day on this dock and we ended up talking about the NVIDIA thing the whole time uh famous people play video games that's a thing that happens uh that's probably all we really need to say about that uh yeah ea is turning star wars battlefront 2 into a real game apparently i'm a real game no no one cares the progression is now linear um star cards or any other item impacting gameplay can only be earned through gameplay will not be available for purchase so basically they made their money i guess or people stopped playing i guess one of the two starting in april you'll be able to get appearances directly through in-game credits or crystals all they need to do is make it star wars battlefront 2 battlegrounds or battle royale or battle extravaganza and then they'll make all their money back yeah they're going to be rolling out a bunch of new mods over the coming months cool so there you go make it that and you'll do great um twitch prime now offers free games every month amazon just like spending that money hey pretty nuts apparently um games for march 6 to april 3rd will be super hot which is actually amazing if you haven't played it yet great game oxen free shadow tactics mr shifty and tales from candle keep tomb of annihilation next month will be tales from the borderlands steam world dig 2 kingsway tokyo 42 and dub wars much like humble bundles i would be surprised if these stay awesome and it will okay it also looks kind of like they've got one more headliner game in each one and then some other ones which may or may not be cool but i'm not super familiar with them twitch prime is included with amazon prime by the way so i mean i already would have recommended an amazon prime membership so i guess i recommend it a little tiny bit more yeah um at the same time if you don't want the entire world to be taken over maybe consider not buying from broadcom is not buying qualcomm anymore because the us government blocked it it's official and spacex is trying to reach mars in 2019 go spacex cool thanks for watching the lan show see you again next week same bad time same bad channel bye the WAN Show like 40 minutes of one thing and then like oh by the way some other stuff like the the time stamps this week are going to be like four things giant gap yeah wow we had a lot of viewership this week we should like do more expose on NVIDIA i mean i can't really think of anything at the moment but are you guys super all the twitch viewers are you guys super excited for the super clickbaity thumbnail and title on youtube go to ltx yeah oh we didn't do that"}
