WEBVTT

00:00:02.720 --> 00:00:07.359
And I think we're live. So, uh,

00:00:05.920 --> 00:00:12.400
maybe, possibly, hopefully. Yeah, maybe, possibly, hopefully. We

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:15.200
certainly, we certainly think so. I will jump into the Twitch chat, so I

00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:23.920
will let us know soon. All right. So, welcome to the WAN Show, guys. The weekly stream that happens

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:26.320
every week, come hell or high water, no

00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:31.359
matter what. even if we have already been streaming for almost a continuous

00:00:29.599 --> 00:00:35.040
24 hours prior to the show,

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:40.320
which is what's been going on. So, I think uh we we'd best open with a brief

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:45.040
introduction or a brief explanation of what the heck is going on and where we

00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:51.600
actually are. For those of you who don't know, we have been live streaming

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:55.440
NVIDIA's Mod 24 event.

00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:58.239
Mod 24, which was a 24hour

00:00:55.440 --> 00:01:04.479
celebration of PC modding and PC gaming. I know for a fact NVIDIA invested a lot

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:08.960
of money into Oh, hold on.

00:01:07.119 --> 00:01:15.840
Oh, you've got to be kidding me. The dashboard should not have ads. All

00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:20.640
right, maybe Amazon will get that fixed. All right, so we've been down here for

00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:23.520
NVIDIA's Mod 24, a 24-hour celebration

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:29.040
of PC gaming and PC modding. They invested a lot of money into the event,

00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:33.040
and they asked us to uh to come down and

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:35.600
host the PC case modding competition. Uh

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:40.159
there were a lot of really famous PC case modders, including Darth Beas,

00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:43.920
someone that I've known for like eight years, talking to him on forums. I think

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:48.640
this is the first time we've ever actually met in person, which was really

00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:51.200
cool. Funnily enough, uh his rig isn't

00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:55.360
behind us, but we do have the winning rig behind us, which was I I think the

00:01:53.759 --> 00:01:59.360
story that went along with it was really cool, was really really special. Had to do

00:01:57.759 --> 00:02:03.759
with their their favorite land, one of their favorite NVIDIA employees who who

00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:06.159
used to come down to that land. And uh people are saying I look exhausted,

00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:14.239
guys. I wonder why. I wonder why. I have hardly slept in the

00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:15.520
last few days here, but uh don't don't

00:02:14.239 --> 00:02:23.040
worry, we are going to make it through the show in spite of the fact that neither Luke nor I has actually really

00:02:20.959 --> 00:02:25.599
looked at the uh the stream document yet. No clue what's going on.

00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:31.680
So, we're going to pick some highlighted topics for this week. First up is of

00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:35.280
course the launch of the GTX 980 and GTX

00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:38.720
970. That is one of the reasons that we

00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:40.959
are down here in California right now.

00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:43.519
And we have a video up for the 980. And I think we're going to be getting a

00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:47.200
video up hopefully next week. Yeah, next week. We're going to hit the 970.

00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:51.360
And I don't know if this is official or not, but I kind of leaked it a little bit during the 24th stream that we might

00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:55.599
be doing some SLI testing. Oh, we will definitely be doing some SLI

00:02:53.200 --> 00:02:59.840
testing. So, uh, next big thing that happened this week, Microsoft officially

00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:05.280
acquires Mojang. So, for those of you who don't know, Mojang is the maker of

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:08.159
the infamous Minecraft.

00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:12.560
So, what Microsoft plans to do with Minecraft, I think people either don't

00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:19.200
know or don't want to know or somewhere in between.

00:03:13.519 --> 00:03:20.720
Yep. And then there is, let's see,

00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:23.440
there was something really interesting somewhere.

00:03:22.640 --> 00:03:30.000
Oh, no. All right. Apple has updated their

00:03:25.920 --> 00:03:33.040
security on the iPhone on iOS to so such

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:35.599
that if your phone is locked even they

00:03:33.040 --> 00:03:40.239
cannot access your data which I guess is their way of absolving themselves of any

00:03:37.440 --> 00:03:44.560
responsibility to report any of their users data to the government in such a

00:03:42.640 --> 00:03:50.560
situation as that would be requested of them. So I got to give them

00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:53.519
massive massive kudos for that. Um, with

00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:58.959
that said, the release of iOS 8 doesn't seem to have created a whole ton of

00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:02.959
fanfare amidst the community. So, it seems to be a lot of under the hood

00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:07.680
improvements without a ton of, you know, huge graphical changes like we saw in

00:04:04.959 --> 00:04:13.120
iOS 7. So, why don't we call that our main topics, roll the intro, and I

00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:18.750
finally found it. That's cool. We'll talk about and get this show on the road.

00:04:14.959 --> 00:04:23.899
Yeah. Click the

00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.040
Beat.

00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:25.120
And you can sign up at squarespace.com/lininus

00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:33.440
So we have only got let's see 75 minutes

00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:38.400
of battery. So, we're going to have to kind of fly through our topics today and

00:05:35.840 --> 00:05:40.720
uh and do our best to to cover them as well as we can, especially given we have

00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:44.080
no idea what we're talking about. So, for GTX 980, which is actually our

00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:49.680
first topic, you can check out our YouTube video so we can fly past this one pretty quick. And also the GTX 970

00:05:48.320 --> 00:05:54.240
launch, we'll be having a video coming next week, so I don't think we need to talk a ton about these individually.

00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:58.639
Well, they are kind of important. They are kind of important. That is true. Should we talk about them?

00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:01.680
Yeah, I I think I think it might not be might not be a terrible idea. So, in our

00:06:00.479 --> 00:06:06.560
performance testing in the YouTube video, we found that uh 980 and 780 Ti

00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:12.080
go pretty toe-to-toe in a lot of different situations, but then 980

00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:14.560
crushes 780 Ti in uh power efficiency.

00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:18.080
Yeah. So, the to be clear, guys, when you look at any other review on the web,

00:06:16.479 --> 00:06:22.080
you're going to find you're going to find 980 pretty much dominating

00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:26.960
everything else, but the key difference is that we overclock all of our cards as

00:06:24.400 --> 00:06:30.319
far as we possibly can before running all of our benchmarks. So, what we found

00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:34.800
is that while 980 is a beast overclocker, I think there was only one

00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:38.960
game that wasn't running over 1500 MHz on the core, which is like

00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:43.199
really, yeah, pretty impressive.

00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:45.440
You serious, bro? Our 780 Ti is also a

00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:51.440
bit of a beast and runs well over 1200 MHz, too. So given uh the number of CUDA

00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:56.639
cores, given the 384-bit memory bus, that 780 Ti has a lot of raw horsepower

00:06:53.919 --> 00:07:01.039
to throw at any kind of a of any kind of a rendering problem. So we ended up with

00:06:59.039 --> 00:07:04.400
them kind of trading blows. The one that I'm actually really interested in, and

00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:10.160
it's a kind of a funny story why we didn't end up with a GTX 970 in time for

00:07:07.440 --> 00:07:15.759
us to do a review for launch. Um I was sitting in the briefing down in uh in

00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:21.360
California, which is where I am now. So, here I was sitting in the briefing very

00:07:19.039 --> 00:07:27.440
close to where I am right now and I got an email from Gigabyte. Yo, dog, here's

00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:29.759
uh graphics card code name something. And I wasn't looking that closely at it

00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:35.840
because I was in the middle of a presentation. Uh, do you want us to send you a sample for a review? And I kind of

00:07:33.280 --> 00:07:40.080
went, yeah, sure. And I figured because NVIDIA was only seating GTX 980s, I

00:07:38.479 --> 00:07:45.919
figured that Gigabyte was sending us a 970. Turns out that the one that arrived

00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:51.680
from Gigabyte is a 980. So, we actually ended up with too many 980s and no 970s

00:07:49.840 --> 00:07:55.520
at all. So, I asked Gigabyte about it. I said, "Hey, um, do you guys have a 970

00:07:54.160 --> 00:08:01.440
that we can get our hands on? We haven't we haven't been able to do a review yet." And they said, "Oh, well, we

00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:05.759
actually prioritized you to get a 980 because you're a key partner for us."

00:08:03.599 --> 00:08:08.639
And I kind of went, "Oh, thank you." That didn't work out very well for

00:08:06.960 --> 00:08:12.319
anyone, but thank you. I appreciate it. Yeah, I appreciate the

00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:18.400
thought. You You guys are awesome. We love working with you and all that stuff. I just really wish we had a 970

00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:20.000
so we could do a review of it.

00:08:18.400 --> 00:08:24.720
So that's why that's not out this week, but that'll be out next week. Yeah, we'll get that up. But I'm really

00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:31.039
interested in that one because the pricing is so aggressive, as low as 330

00:08:28.960 --> 00:08:35.919
bucks in the US for a card that is effectively around 20% slower than the

00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:39.360
GTX 980 because they cut down some of the functional units. And I I don't

00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:42.240
actually know. You were at the event, but I'm assuming it also has autobalancing power rails.

00:08:41.839 --> 00:08:46.959
No, no, no. Sorry. That is still a top tier. I

00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:53.279
know that's still a top tier only feature. So 780 Ti, GTX 980 are the only

00:08:50.880 --> 00:08:56.320
ones that have that autobalancing power feature that makes overclocking on these

00:08:55.279 --> 00:09:00.320
cards um pretty flexible and pretty beastly.

00:08:58.959 --> 00:09:04.080
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We'll see. That'll be interesting because it'll be completely different

00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:08.880
overclocking experience of the new platform. So, the OP here is good bites.

00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:13.040
What I'm going to do this week is I'm just going to kind of spam Twitch chat

00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:18.880
because I didn't think to bring Oh, you have got to be kidding me. I didn't

00:09:14.800 --> 00:09:20.320
think to bring two Oh, wait. What? Oh,

00:09:18.880 --> 00:09:23.920
here we go. Here we go. I got this. I got this. I didn't think to bring two

00:09:22.160 --> 00:09:28.240
capture devices here. So, we've just got the one for our camera. So, I can't

00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:31.519
actually screen share with you guys. But, uh, what I'm going to do is I'm

00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:34.560
going to spam chat with the links to the articles that we're talking about. So

00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:39.600
the original poster after this let me manage the spam.

00:09:36.640 --> 00:09:44.720
The original poster was good bites and basically Microsoft has revealed a fair

00:09:41.839 --> 00:09:48.480
number of details about directx 11.3 and directx 12. Now we've got a lot of

00:09:46.959 --> 00:09:52.560
information in the doc that hopefully Luke is reading right now so he can talk

00:09:50.959 --> 00:09:58.399
about this a little bit. But in a nutshell, we actually had the DirectX

00:09:55.360 --> 00:10:01.200
project lead presenting at the NVIDIA uh

00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:04.240
press event last week. And in a nutshell, he basically said, "Okay,

00:10:02.640 --> 00:10:09.279
well, well, look here. Here's what it is. DirectX1.3

00:10:06.800 --> 00:10:13.600
is the features. So, it's got the new rendering features that are really

00:10:11.040 --> 00:10:18.480
exciting and are going to potentially free up overhead on the GPUs, make it so

00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:23.360
that they can more efficiently render things like um multiple transparent

00:10:21.760 --> 00:10:26.640
objects. So, they showed off rasterizer ordered views.

00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:31.519
Yeah, rasterizer ordered views. Thank you. ly he showed off a few different

00:10:28.160 --> 00:10:33.760
things that DirectX 11.3 can do and then

00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:38.800
explained that DirectX12 is basically going to have those features except with

00:10:36.160 --> 00:10:43.600
all that CPU performance optimization that we've been hearing about uh ever

00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:48.480
since AMD first started talking about Mantle and how it was going to allow

00:10:45.760 --> 00:10:52.720
your CPU to your multi-core CPU to spread out workloads much more

00:10:49.760 --> 00:10:57.279
effectively. Now, the funny thing about DirectX12

00:10:54.320 --> 00:11:00.959
is that not only have they made it so that they're going to be able to split

00:10:58.560 --> 00:11:05.279
the workload across CPUs, but in the slides that he showed us, uh, something

00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:12.959
really interesting that we noticed is CPU usage overall also plummets. So,

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:17.920
while the theory that uh like the the theory that I've had up until up until

00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:21.279
he gave us that presentation was that all of a sudden we're going to have

00:11:20.079 --> 00:11:26.800
Yeah. We're going to have a justification for for you know GTX 5960X

00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:29.920
just for straight gaming and games are going to be able to leverage that.

00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:36.880
I kind of went, well, hold on a second. GTX 5960X. Did I say that? Core i7 5960X. Thank

00:11:34.560 --> 00:11:39.360
you. So, I it's just running one game. And I was like, "Okay, yeah, maybe we'll

00:11:38.079 --> 00:11:42.640
be able to use all eight of these cores and all 16 of these threads." But then I

00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:48.560
kind of realized, well, hold on a second. If CPU utilization is going down

00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:50.800
this much, we might just not need the

00:11:48.560 --> 00:11:54.399
cores or the clock speed. It'll be really interesting to see what happens

00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:59.120
to what we need in terms of CPU power for gaming. I mean, what I'd really like

00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:03.519
to see happen is I'd like to see game developers use the CPU horsepower that

00:12:01.839 --> 00:12:07.200
we have anyway. AI doing stuff like that,

00:12:04.880 --> 00:12:11.279
AI destructible environments. Um, I don't know how CPU intensive it is, but

00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:16.000
NVIDIA's new global illumination feature. I would love to see some of

00:12:13.839 --> 00:12:22.399
that offloaded to the CPU so that we can get truly much more dynamic visually

00:12:20.160 --> 00:12:25.519
games um in the next couple of years here. It might take us a little bit to

00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:28.639
see some of these implementations because there's a few warnings. It says

00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:32.480
it's very powerful, but it's difficult to master and quote unquote dangerous

00:12:30.959 --> 00:12:35.920
and inexperienced in the hands of inexperienced programmers. They're

00:12:34.079 --> 00:12:40.720
saying that the development model is that a few code gurus will make stuff

00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:43.920
like engines and platforms that other people can build on top of and outside

00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:47.920
of that they don't really expect too many people to touch it because it will

00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:53.920
be a very very complicated thing to work with. All right. So, our next uh our

00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:56.320
next topic is engineers made a radio the

00:12:53.920 --> 00:12:59.680
size of an ant that doesn't require a battery. This was originally posted by

00:12:58.160 --> 00:13:04.800
ETRJ on the lineus techtips forum and the

00:13:02.079 --> 00:13:09.440
original article is from the verge.com. So, engineering professors from Stanford

00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:13.519
and the University of California, Berkeley. I don't know I don't know how

00:13:11.760 --> 00:13:19.120
that sentence was supposed to be structured. So anyway, um created the a

00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:24.160
radio the size of an ant, no battery. It's actually powered by harvesting

00:13:21.760 --> 00:13:29.440
radio signals and doesn't require any external power. So the goal is to use

00:13:27.040 --> 00:13:32.160
these chips to facilitate the internet of things. So for those of you who

00:13:30.800 --> 00:13:39.279
aren't familiar with the term internet of things, it it refers to the concept

00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:41.600
that everything will be connected. So,

00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:47.040
not just your smartwatch, not just your smartphone, but even something as simple

00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:49.600
as your headphones and and high quality

00:13:47.040 --> 00:13:56.079
headphones, not headphones where having connectivity in them is just this janky,

00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:57.519
cludgy uh gimmicky type of feature. Just

00:13:56.079 --> 00:14:04.000
everything will have connectivity because it will be so cheap to implement

00:14:01.040 --> 00:14:08.320
and so easy to implement that even good products will will just have it. So

00:14:06.560 --> 00:14:12.240
something as simple as, you know, your power adapter for your notebook could be

00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:17.120
connected. There's no reason why it couldn't be. And that could feed into

00:14:14.959 --> 00:14:20.560
your house and tell your house how much power it's consuming. And the house

00:14:18.560 --> 00:14:23.920
could, you know, automatically you balance power. Who who knows? Like the

00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:28.000
idea is just that once everything's connected, we're going to unlock a lot

00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:31.839
of possibilities that we didn't have before. Things like door knobs, things

00:14:30.160 --> 00:14:39.040
like your your car door. So just being able to carry your smartphone in your pocket and have everything in your life

00:14:35.199 --> 00:14:40.160
be connected. So, um, obviously we're

00:14:39.040 --> 00:14:44.480
not there yet. No, I mean, you look you just, you can look

00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:46.880
at something like the Moto 360 as a great example of how

00:14:45.760 --> 00:14:53.600
Yeah, this type of technology is not cheap or

00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:54.160
power efficient enough yet for ubiquity.

00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:58.800
Mind you, part of that problem is because they used like a I think it was a processor

00:14:57.120 --> 00:15:02.000
from 2010. And you have to assume that they that they

00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:05.199
did that for cost reasons. There's there's a lot of um there's actually a

00:15:04.079 --> 00:15:09.680
lot of different reviews out there talking about how there there doesn't really seem to be much of a sensible

00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:11.920
reason because there's actually cheaper chips that would have been better.

00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:17.760
Yeah. I don't know. Maybe they got like a massive bulk order for of it for some

00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:21.279
like ridiculously cheap price or something. I don't know. Even that

00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:28.000
doesn't really make any sense cuz I mean the the release cadence for mobile

00:15:23.839 --> 00:15:30.160
products tends to be about a year and so

00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:33.760
I wouldn't expect Motorola to be refreshing the Moto 360 for probably

00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:38.079
about a year. So it's not like you order a year's worth of CPUs ever. That

00:15:36.800 --> 00:15:42.240
doesn't make any sense. I just it's it seems so silly. Like I

00:15:40.959 --> 00:15:47.600
just I don't understand why they did that. And I was so excited to get it 360

00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:49.920
and I'm so happy that I've taken to never pre-ordering things.

00:15:49.199 --> 00:15:55.279
Yeah. Yeah. Because holy crap, don't want one anymore.

00:15:53.040 --> 00:15:59.920
Um, so anyway, these uh these new chips that are powered by by harvesting radio

00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:04.560
signals are only supposed to cost a few cents to produce. So that could make it

00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:08.079
possible to integrate them in these types of commodity items, things like

00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:12.720
things like light bulbs, things that are just all over your house. and uh and and

00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:16.240
the kind of information they could pro provide could be pretty cool. I mean,

00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:19.440
not just being able to tell you, okay, how much power the light bulb is

00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:21.600
consuming, but allow you to turn it on and turn it off. Yeah, they can send and receive

00:16:20.959 --> 00:16:25.120
information. Yeah. So, you could be like kitchen light bulb on. Yep.

00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:31.120
Kind of. I mean, that kind of stuff exists right now, but the problem is that it's really

00:16:28.560 --> 00:16:32.880
expensive. The app ecosystems are not that consistent.

00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:36.560
Yeah. And it's it's just not quite it's not

00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:44.240
quite there yet. Moving on, we have Microsoft acquiring Mojang. So, the guys that make Minecraft

00:16:40.800 --> 00:16:46.800
for $2.5 billion.

00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:52.000
It was officially announced on September 15th. I'm going to spam this in Switch

00:16:48.560 --> 00:16:52.800
chat. Oh my goodness, that is a lot of

00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:58.079
money. So, I mean,

00:16:55.279 --> 00:17:01.040
and sorry, this is again posted on the forum by the same guy that posted the

00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:08.959
last thread. If I can jump over there. ETRJ. ETRJ. There we go. So, a lot of the

00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:11.280
community is is pretty is pretty upset

00:17:08.959 --> 00:17:15.760
about, you know, feeling like they they got abandoned by Notch.

00:17:13.679 --> 00:17:18.160
Um, at the same time, like,

00:17:17.120 --> 00:17:21.919
but I get it. Yeah, he has his reasons. He said that

00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:25.439
uh he decided he doesn't want the responsibility of owning a company of

00:17:23.600 --> 00:17:30.480
such global significance. And you know what? He's kind of got a

00:17:27.280 --> 00:17:32.799
point because you I think and it's not

00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:36.960
it's not a matter of selling out when you've already made the money. Notch

00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:39.280
doesn't have to work another day in his life, but he will.

00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:44.320
Yeah. Because he's he's passionate. He wants to do something else. But when you're

00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:49.600
when you're when you're running something of such significance that's of

00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:53.120
importance to so many people, you end up trapped.

00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:56.400
He became Minecraft. Yeah. instead of being himself, he was Minecraft at this

00:17:55.679 --> 00:18:02.640
point in time. And so, you know, yes, he sold the money for what he could get. I mean, I don't

00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:07.520
think that that's an unfair thing to do. And I don't I think it's unreasonable to

00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:10.799
expect someone to I don't know what give the company away like like how do you

00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:14.720
how do you get rid of a company without selling out? It's not even you're going

00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:17.919
to run into a ton of legal difficulty trying to give away an asset that's

00:18:16.320 --> 00:18:22.960
worth billions of dollars. Like that that is not okay. You legitimately can't

00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:28.480
do that. So, if he wants out, if he doesn't want to do Minecraft for the

00:18:25.120 --> 00:18:30.160
rest of his life, then

00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:33.840
you know what? I guess it's it might be better to do it now than to wait even

00:18:32.080 --> 00:18:38.400
longer and longer and longer. And I think I think that it's uh I I don't

00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:43.360
know. I I'm excited to see what he's going to do next. Yeah. Yeah. Me, too. because other

00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:47.520
things that I heard like this isn't necessarily in the doc and I haven't done enough research on this at all but

00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:51.840
I've just kind of heard through the rumor mill that a lot of it was um being

00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:54.799
frustrated too because he wants to work on all these other different things but

00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:58.320
the second he does everyone's like why aren't you working on Minecraft

00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:01.280
look how much money it's making you why are you working on Minecraft he's like I

00:19:00.080 --> 00:19:04.880
don't care I want to work on these things that are more entertaining

00:19:03.120 --> 00:19:09.520
when you when when you have that many millions of dollars like I I think some

00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:12.559
people feel like they need more millions of dollars Um,

00:19:11.280 --> 00:19:15.919
doesn't seem like one of those guys, but when you have that much money, a lot

00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:21.760
of people are just going to kind of go, "Yeah, you know what? I'm set for life. This is fine." And and you know, the

00:19:20.080 --> 00:19:25.280
funny thing the funny thing about it is even guys like I I saw I saw an

00:19:23.600 --> 00:19:31.520
interesting um I saw an interesting quote from Donald Trump uh not that long

00:19:27.760 --> 00:19:33.840
ago where he was talking about why why

00:19:31.520 --> 00:19:37.840
he wheels and deals, why he tries to make more money. He's like, "Yeah, I

00:19:35.360 --> 00:19:44.240
don't need money." Basically, I'm I'm driven and I and I I I I you know, I I I

00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:46.960
love to deal, you know, I love to I love

00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:51.200
to buy. I love to sell. I This is This is what I do. This is what gets me up in

00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:54.400
the morning. And I kind of went, "Yeah, you know, I I I kind of I guess I kind

00:19:53.360 --> 00:20:00.480
of get that." And you know, if Notch's passion is

00:19:57.600 --> 00:20:04.320
making great games and ultimately it's not about the money, then that doesn't

00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:08.799
mean he can't make a ton of money doing it. It just means that he's going to be

00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:12.720
driven to do that thing. And if we put him in this box where it's like you have

00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:14.960
to work on Minecraft because money, that's not going to make any sense. No.

00:20:14.320 --> 00:20:20.720
In his head. No. I don't know. Interesting situation.

00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:26.000
I mean, but I also I like I also get it because Minecraft was is so

00:20:23.120 --> 00:20:29.919
communitydriven. It's all about community and, you know, feeling like

00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:34.480
kind of fearless leader for a long time. Yeah. I mean, you've had this you've had

00:20:31.840 --> 00:20:39.039
this advocate. You've had this face to put on Minecraft where unfortunately,

00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:44.320
you know, he doesn't want his face on Minecraft anymore. The graphics ain't

00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:45.520
that good. Maybe he wants a better face.

00:20:44.320 --> 00:20:49.440
It's so boxy. I'm just kidding.

00:20:47.919 --> 00:20:58.080
All right, we've got some pretty good news here. So, OP is Querty Warrior

00:20:53.440 --> 00:21:00.720
released the DisplayPort 1.3 standard.

00:20:58.080 --> 00:21:06.320
So, the maximum link bandwidth has been increased to 32.4 4 GB per second. So,

00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:11.280
the reason we need higher link bandwidth, you guys, is not only higher

00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:15.440
resolution displays, but higher refresh rate displays. Currently, with display

00:21:13.520 --> 00:21:22.880
port 1.2, 4K is limited to 60 Hz. But there's no

00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:26.240
real reason why, particularly a TN panel

00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:28.320
couldn't run higher than 60 Hz. Why not?

00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:33.440
Why not? Why put Why put everyone in a box? No, no, no. We want faster display

00:21:31.280 --> 00:21:38.159
lengths so that we can start getting faster and faster refresh rates on these

00:21:35.280 --> 00:21:43.440
higher resolution displays. So extremely excited to see that it's about a 50%

00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:47.360
increase in maximum refresh rate or in maximum bandwidth versus DisplayPort

00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:52.480
1.2A. It should be noted though that that's not going to translate directly

00:21:49.120 --> 00:21:54.240
into 50% higher resolution or 50% higher

00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:59.120
for frame rate because you're going to have more overhead built into that. Um

00:21:57.760 --> 00:22:06.320
so there we go. Actually, that's the next point in the dock here. So, the combined link rate delivers 25.92 Gbit

00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:08.559
per second of uncompressed video data.

00:22:06.320 --> 00:22:14.960
So, that allows higher resolutions like the recently announced 5K 5120x

00:22:12.320 --> 00:22:19.919
2880 and that's through one cable without compression. Extremely exciting.

00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:22.960
I mean, you know what? As as as much as it's great that we're getting interfaces

00:22:21.840 --> 00:22:28.720
that are going to be able to handle these resolutions without compression, Windows can't.

00:22:25.679 --> 00:22:30.559
It is a m Yeah, Windows can't. And guys,

00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:33.919
compression's not necessarily the scariest thing in the world. A little

00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:38.799
bit of compression isn't going to kill us. And we are reaching the limits of

00:22:36.159 --> 00:22:44.480
what copperbased interfaces are going to be able to do. I mean, that's that's one

00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:48.480
of the reasons why HDMI and DisplayPort

00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:50.240
have been so slow to continue increasing

00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:54.640
the bandwidth because we're getting pretty close to what we're going to be

00:22:51.520 --> 00:22:55.919
able to do without much more expensive

00:22:54.640 --> 00:23:00.640
uh without much more expensive transmitters and receivers on either end

00:22:57.840 --> 00:23:04.159
and or more expensive link materials. So, we're either going to get to the

00:23:01.840 --> 00:23:09.760
point where we're legitimately going to need fancy cables

00:23:07.679 --> 00:23:15.280
again. remake that video. Yeah, I know, right?

00:23:12.320 --> 00:23:20.159
Damn it. Crap. Or we're just going to accept So, so the

00:23:18.320 --> 00:23:23.039
processor is going to get more complex and less expensive, and we're just going

00:23:21.919 --> 00:23:29.520
to accept that we're going to have to do some on-fly compression, on the-fly compression and decompression, and hope

00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:32.240
that that doesn't add to the latency.

00:23:29.520 --> 00:23:36.799
So, this is cool. You can drive two 4K Ultra HD monitors when using Vasa

00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:42.559
coordinated video timing. uh continues to support VGA, DVI, and HDMI via cheapo

00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:47.120
cheapo adapters. That's one of the things that I really like about Display

00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:53.360
Port is that compared to HDMI, even HDMI 2.0, which the new GTX 980 supports and

00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:58.400
can handle 4K at 60 Hz, DisplayPort adapts to other standards much more

00:23:55.360 --> 00:24:00.159
easily, which is huge, huge thumbs up.

00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:04.159
Although, I was pretty pleased to find out that HDMI 2.0 didn't end up

00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:08.320
requiring a connector change. Yeah. Yeah. That was rumored for a long

00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:11.120
time and it ended up not becoming a thing. Extremely pleased.

00:24:09.360 --> 00:24:13.919
I think we had a rant about that on the W show actually quite a while back. But

00:24:13.520 --> 00:24:19.919
yeah, I think we did. I mean, on the one hand, okay, but the flip side of that is I

00:24:17.600 --> 00:24:23.440
sure wish HDMI had a locking connector. Yes.

00:24:21.600 --> 00:24:27.120
So, I'm glad that we're retaining forwards and backwards compatibility for

00:24:25.840 --> 00:24:32.960
so long. I mean, that really is admirable. But they could have even done like a a

00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:34.640
sidemounted screw mount thing, though. There is

00:24:33.520 --> 00:24:40.159
it could have been the same. There is a company that does kind of this ghetto locking HDMI connector. I

00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:45.039
think they patented it though. Okay. And what it does is it is it clips into

00:24:43.520 --> 00:24:48.559
just part of the housing that's not meant to be a lock, but it kind of cheats and clips in

00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:55.600
there. Yeah. So, um, so there you go. Vasa

00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:57.840
releases Displayport 1.3. Awesome. Moving down, we have Comcast telling

00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:04.159
customers to Hold on, hold on. Display 1.3 enable support for future 8K displays. So,

00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:12.159
that's something that we should probably mention. And uh that's Oh, oh, this is cool. Also

00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:16.000
supports a single 4K monitor, 60 Hz, 24-bit color over two lanes while

00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:18.960
offering another two lanes for alternative data types like super speed

00:25:17.919 --> 00:25:26.159
USB data. Oh. So, so that's pretty cool. The DisplayPort is really coming into its own and

00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:28.400
is going to I I think is just going to be the dominant display.

00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:33.520
That's really interesting. I mean, look look at again back to GTX

00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:37.039
980. How hard is NVIDIA banking on DisplayPort? Three DisplayPort

00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:41.520
connectors on the back of the card. Pretty heavy duty, actually. Pretty heavy duty. I mean, G-Sync only

00:25:40.080 --> 00:25:46.000
works over DisplayPort. This is an NVIDIA technology that they kind of went, "Okay, where's the industry

00:25:44.080 --> 00:25:48.640
heading? We're going to bet on DisplayPort." And you know what? For that

00:25:47.120 --> 00:25:52.720
matter, AMD has done the same thing. Yeah. Yeah. Uh earlier, I think.

00:25:50.720 --> 00:25:56.080
Mhm. AMD was shipping cards with two DisplayPort connectors much earlier on

00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:59.919
than NVIDIA was. So, yeah. I mean, when those two agree on

00:25:58.159 --> 00:26:02.960
something, probably a good thing. Just putting that

00:26:02.159 --> 00:26:08.960
out there. Yeah. So, Comcast has started telling customers to stop using uh tour

00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:11.840
and they denied this. They've denied this to be clear. Uh did you post the

00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:17.440
link in the chat? I have not yet, but I have it copy pasted. So, I got it. All right. So, this was posted in the

00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:22.000
forum by and then there was one and there are a couple of of articles that

00:26:20.159 --> 00:26:27.600
were used as references for this. So, so inquisitor.com and deep.web.com.

00:26:25.600 --> 00:26:31.279
But there is there is a lot of information here and I'll let I'll let

00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:35.360
you run through it. An agent named uh Jeremy I almost said

00:26:33.760 --> 00:26:40.320
Jenny because I'm pretty tired, but an agent named Jeremy has allegedly called

00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:42.720
tour to an illegal service and said that

00:26:40.320 --> 00:26:46.880
uh tour is against their usage policies and apparently they've repeatedly asked

00:26:44.320 --> 00:26:50.400
customers to tell the agent what sites the users were accessing through the

00:26:48.320 --> 00:26:54.640
tour browser. One customer spoke to Jeremy then called back the next day and

00:26:52.159 --> 00:26:58.559
spoke with an agent named Kelly. She reiterated that Comcast does not want

00:26:56.559 --> 00:27:02.320
its customers using tour and she allegedly said that users who try to use

00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:06.320
anonymity to cover themselves on the internet are usually doing things they

00:27:03.840 --> 00:27:10.159
aren't so to speak that that aren't so to speak legal. Um we have the right to

00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:13.440
terminate fine and or suspend your account at any time due to violating the

00:27:12.080 --> 00:27:20.640
rules. You know to me fine should have to come

00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:23.039
from some kind of legal entity.

00:27:20.640 --> 00:27:27.679
I mean if you what what what's next? the grocery store is going to find me.

00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:31.520
Like, are you kidding? Like, if they if if I uh actually I

00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:35.760
guess a grocery store is a bad example because if I was walking around the grocery store putting things into my

00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:40.320
coat so that people wouldn't know what I was buying, I I probably would get I I

00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:43.760
probably would get fined. You wouldn't get fined, but you could get prosecuted.

00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:47.279
I think they'd have to wait for you to leave the store with it, but they they

00:27:45.919 --> 00:27:49.440
could have a plane close following you around. Totally different. That's legitimately

00:27:49.120 --> 00:27:53.840
steal. Hold on. No, because what if I intended to pay for it? I just didn't want people

00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:57.279
knowing what I was buying. But you left the store with it. No, no. Let's say I didn't leave the

00:27:56.320 --> 00:28:02.159
store. Okay. Okay. So, let's say I Okay. So, hold on

00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:05.600
a second. Okay. So, Okay. Maybe I wouldn't Okay. So, I wouldn't get fined. But let's let's

00:28:04.399 --> 00:28:09.760
They could ask you about it. They could request you to leave the store

00:28:08.080 --> 00:28:12.880
premises, but they can't arrest you. You haven't left the store yet.

00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:16.799
What can they do? They can follow you around, but then that's their private

00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:20.000
property, so that's allowed. Yeah. I I don't think there's an

00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:23.200
equivalent to this. No. I love to hear from the Twitch chat, guys. Let us know.

00:28:21.919 --> 00:28:27.520
Especially if there's like a loss prevention agent. This is great. Dion 7. Lol. Grocery

00:28:26.159 --> 00:28:31.360
police. LOL. If there's a loss prevention agent

00:28:29.760 --> 00:28:35.600
out there that actually knows the like shoving stuff. Yeah.

00:28:33.679 --> 00:28:39.520
We We'd love to hear about that because I don't What's up like Okay, so what's the

00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:42.399
equivalent? Like my mom does this. I know a lot of people that do this kind

00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:45.760
of stuff where they're like go grab a drink from the fridge in a store and

00:28:44.399 --> 00:28:49.919
just drink the whole thing before they're done leaving the store and then just buy it.

00:28:48.080 --> 00:28:54.799
Yeah. I you know the funny thing about that is it's always made me really

00:28:52.080 --> 00:28:58.880
uncomfortable. Even when I was a kid, I would I hate it.

00:28:55.840 --> 00:29:00.960
I my no my aunt my aunt would often say

00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:05.120
you know hey are you thirsty? You know here here get this and start drinking it

00:29:03.760 --> 00:29:09.039
and I'd be like no I don't want to drink it till we leave. And she'd be like well

00:29:07.679 --> 00:29:13.360
like what if my card doesn't work? We're shopping. We're not leaving. Such an awkward

00:29:11.679 --> 00:29:17.440
I'm not even worried about that. Although I did have a really awkward

00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:23.679
situation at Tim Hortons where I I forgot my wallet and my wife forgot her

00:29:19.919 --> 00:29:26.240
wallet and we were in Vancouver and I

00:29:23.679 --> 00:29:29.039
had already placed my order and I was like, "Oh crap, I forgot my wallet. Can

00:29:27.840 --> 00:29:35.840
I run out to the car and grab my wife's?" So when I come back, she's got my order ready for me and I'm like, "Yo,

00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:40.159
dog, I'm sorry. My wife doesn't have her wallet either. I have to go." I think I

00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:44.159
made it up to them. I went and I borrowed some money from a relative who

00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:46.799
lives in Vancouver. And then I went all the way back to that Tim Hortons even

00:29:45.360 --> 00:29:50.880
though it was out of my way. I was like, I have cash now, you know, but I still

00:29:49.520 --> 00:29:56.159
they probably had to throw at least some of it away. Sure they did. Like I feel terrible. Um anyway, sorry.

00:29:55.120 --> 00:29:59.520
What were we talking about? Uh stealing stuff from stores, drinking

00:29:58.640 --> 00:30:03.279
things before you leave, right? I just feel weird about it. I remember that.

00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:07.840
I just Yeah, I I I don't do it. I know my I I

00:30:06.320 --> 00:30:12.320
think my mom does a little bit. I know other people that I go shopping with have done it. And even with when I'm

00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:16.880
with someone who's doing it, I feel super uncomfortable. I don't know why.

00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:19.200
It's just I'm not really into that at all.

00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:24.320
Um, they have to have you on video. Someone has to watch you put it in your pocket.

00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:27.200
They can follow you and watch you, but you have not broken the law until you

00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:30.159
attempt to leave the store without paying. Okay, so there you go. Perfectly

00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:35.039
reasonable because you should be able to go around a shopping center without a basket or

00:30:34.159 --> 00:30:38.640
shopping cart, right? I mean, they can ask you to leave

00:30:37.600 --> 00:30:43.760
your bag at the front. Yeah. So, I usually And they can ask you to leave the store.

00:30:41.679 --> 00:30:50.000
Yep. Yeah. It is their It is their right to do that. Yeah.

00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:51.840
We have 5,000 live viewers right now who

00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:54.240
are tuned into our stream, which is like super late, like two and a

00:30:53.760 --> 00:31:00.640
half hours. Two hours late. Like janky janky quality.

00:30:59.120 --> 00:31:04.159
Don't know anything about the topics in the middle. We have no we have no

00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:09.520
lighting other than like the terrible fluorescent lighting in this boardroom.

00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:12.480
And uh and you know what guys, thanks for showing up.

00:31:10.320 --> 00:31:16.399
We love your support. We appreciate you guys. You guys are cool.

00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:21.679
Speaking of things that aren't cool is Comcast has um has a past of being

00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:24.880
against tour and is listed on tour's bad ISP project list thing.

00:31:23.919 --> 00:31:29.760
All right. So, well, as if uh as if Comcast was not

00:31:28.399 --> 00:31:34.240
listed on a good one. So, good ISP list. Come on. Anyways, I I

00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:38.559
still had to point that out, but all right. Um, so this next topic is

00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:43.600
from And Then There Was One as well. Original article is from Venturebe. So

00:31:41.120 --> 00:31:49.279
the NSA is mapping the internet. I'm not sure if this is news, but uh

00:31:46.320 --> 00:31:53.200
NSA stuff just like assume anything you could ever dream of that's

00:31:50.880 --> 00:31:55.440
like bad and on the internet just be like, "Yeah, the NSA probably has

00:31:54.399 --> 00:32:01.600
something to do with that." So the program is trying to create an interactive map of the global internet

00:31:58.799 --> 00:32:05.519
in close to real time that would try to identify the devices through which data

00:32:03.360 --> 00:32:10.000
flows such as routers. The program is supposed to help in computer attack and

00:32:07.919 --> 00:32:12.960
exploit planning offering a battlefield map for cyber warfare. Targeted

00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:18.640
companies that sounds good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So targeted companies

00:32:16.320 --> 00:32:25.200
include Deutsch Telecom, the owner of T-Mobile and uh the German ISP Net

00:32:21.919 --> 00:32:27.600
Cologne. So pretty cool. going to say,

00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:30.640
"You guys are just staying cool." This is interesting because Germany was

00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:38.320
already pissed off. Yeah, I know, right? About tapping into uh what's her name's

00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:40.480
phone. So, be pretty interesting. This

00:32:38.320 --> 00:32:44.000
next one, literally know nothing about it. Are we going to do this one or are

00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:49.120
we going to jump over it? Yeah. No. Uh yeah, let's let's let's go

00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:54.159
ahead. So, Apple's Warrant Canary disappears uh suggesting new Patriot Act

00:32:52.399 --> 00:32:57.760
demands. So this was originally posted by LOLS on the forum.

00:32:56.080 --> 00:33:01.279
We don't have an actual link though. Yeah, it's okay. Okay. The original

00:32:59.120 --> 00:33:05.840
article is from Gigome. So if you want to just maybe post that link in the in

00:33:02.960 --> 00:33:10.399
the chat. So Apple's first transparency report on government activity in late

00:33:07.840 --> 00:33:15.279
2013 included a footnote that stated, "Apple has never received an order under

00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:19.760
section 215 of the USA Patriot Act. We would expect to challenge such an order

00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:24.559
if served on us." Um, so writer and cyber activist Corey Doctoro uh

00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:29.600
recognized that language as a warrant canary or a way of thwarting the secrecy

00:33:27.360 --> 00:33:32.880
imposed by the Patriot Act. Companies and publishers have included these

00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:38.080
canaries to signal to their users that so far they have not been subjected to a

00:33:35.760 --> 00:33:41.600
given type of secret subpoena by law enforcement. When this language is

00:33:39.919 --> 00:33:45.840
removed, it is likely that the situation has changed and the company has been

00:33:43.120 --> 00:33:49.679
subject to such a request, but of course is being told that they can't say

00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:54.240
anything about it. So having that canary in place protects them and their users

00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:58.960
um as long as people are paying attention. So section 215 of the Patriot

00:33:56.880 --> 00:34:03.440
Act permits the NSA to demand companies to hand over their business records in

00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:08.639
secret. It is believed that it is the legal foundation of the Prism program.

00:34:06.320 --> 00:34:11.280
So yeah,

00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:16.240
not good. Not good. Mind you, this uh this comes

00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:20.560
uh this comes at around the same time as Apple's um recent change to the way they

00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:26.240
handle user data, which is awesome. Which is pretty awesome that basically

00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:33.359
in a nutshell means that if your phone is locked, even Apple cannot get to it.

00:34:30.399 --> 00:34:38.000
Um, so that is is pretty much their way of throwing up their hands and going,

00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:40.079
"Well, okay, you served us a warrant for

00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:44.320
something we legitimately can't access. So, peace, bro."

00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:47.679
I really like that. That's really cool. And I actually know a lot of people that

00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:50.879
are pretty heavy Android users that might legitimately switch just because

00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:53.520
of that reason. It's It's a reason to switch.

00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:59.359
Kind of a big deal. I'd like to see how Google responds to this. Yeah. Because I, you know, the way that

00:34:57.200 --> 00:35:01.680
the way that Google is about data farming, they want all your data.

00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:07.040
They want all your data. They want it all the time. And they want it all the time. I got to

00:35:04.240 --> 00:35:11.520
feel like if if Google were to decide that they were going to leave your data

00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:13.280
alone when your phone is locked would be

00:35:11.520 --> 00:35:17.359
that would be very out of character for them. So,

00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:20.720
I don't know. It might put them in a bit of an awkward position.

00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:25.920
All right. So, this was originally posted on the forum by Ion Basa, the

00:35:23.520 --> 00:35:28.560
world's first fully functional 3D printed car. This was bound to happen.

00:35:28.160 --> 00:35:33.200
Yeah, you got to bet that there were any

00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:38.880
number of people working on making this happen. Oh my god, you can download a car.

00:35:35.680 --> 00:35:42.400
So, it was designed, printed, and driven

00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:45.280
by Arizona based Local Motors. Printing

00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:49.359
and assembly took just 44 hours. Hey, Local Motors. These are the guys

00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:50.800
that make that uh trike thing that I'm hoping to get.

00:35:50.160 --> 00:35:55.440
All right, that for the for review. Don't worry about it. Probably won't even happen.

00:35:54.880 --> 00:36:00.480
But yeah, after 44 hours hours, the car was

00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:05.359
drivable. It's named the Strat Eye, so Italian for layers, electric powered.

00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:09.359
It's a two seat compact roadster. It there has a battery, a motor, wiring,

00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:14.880
and suspension. These all came from a variety of sources, including Renaol's

00:36:11.920 --> 00:36:19.680
Tweezy City Care. I don't know. Yeah, I'm clearly tired

00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:24.320
and I apologize for any words that I'm slurring or or pronouncing incorrectly

00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:30.800
because I'm just not processors. Yeah, GTX processors. Um, chassis and

00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:36.079
body are printed from a carbon fiber reinforced plastic compound. It has only

00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:40.000
40 parts to it in comparison to a normal car with 20,000 or more parts. This is

00:36:38.320 --> 00:36:44.640
actually this ties into a conversation we had earlier today where we were

00:36:43.040 --> 00:36:50.480
talking about how electric cars right now are very expensive, but once they

00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:52.640
become more of a commodity item and and

00:36:50.480 --> 00:36:56.079
less of a less of a curiosity, less high tech, I expect them to actually be much

00:36:55.440 --> 00:37:02.400
cheaper. Not even necessarily that, but once battery production goes up because that

00:36:59.200 --> 00:37:04.160
Gigafactory that Telus uh Telus Oh no,

00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:08.000
I know, right? Uh, you have sullied the good name of Tesla

00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:11.599
by calling them Telus. I feel like a horrible person. Okay,

00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:17.119
you are a horrible person. A factory that Tesla is intending to uh

00:37:14.720 --> 00:37:21.760
build in Nevada will actually produce more of that type of battery than all of

00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:23.520
the other factories in the entire world combined right now.

00:37:23.200 --> 00:37:30.079
Yeah. Yeah. Which is like ridiculous. So with battery production going up to

00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:35.520
that extent, I'm expecting and and based just based on how simple

00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:38.320
Yeah. an electric car is compared to an

00:37:35.520 --> 00:37:43.680
internal combustion car. I mean, I I think I think gas powered vehicles are

00:37:40.560 --> 00:37:45.280
going to look stupid to my kids by the

00:37:43.680 --> 00:37:50.320
time they're old enough to be adults buying a car. It's it's going to be this

00:37:47.359 --> 00:37:54.640
it's going to be this weird, you know, eccentric thing to do to own a fossil

00:37:52.720 --> 00:37:58.960
fuel powered vehicle. I really do think so. I think that we're still going to

00:37:56.720 --> 00:38:03.920
continue to see fossil fuels augment battery power. So, having a small, you

00:38:01.520 --> 00:38:07.359
know, lawn mower, like rider mower class, uh, internal combustion engine in

00:38:06.240 --> 00:38:14.079
there to charge the battery in an emergency or whatever else. I think we're going to continue to see that, but

00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:15.760
expecting cars to just run on gas, I I I

00:38:14.079 --> 00:38:20.800
don't know. Industrial vehicles potentially still, especially being down here actually is

00:38:18.720 --> 00:38:26.400
pretty amazing. While we were coming to NVIDIA headquarters, I saw on the road

00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:30.880
at least uh 10 different electric cars and like

00:38:29.040 --> 00:38:34.160
not just Teslas because this area is known for Teslas, a whole wide range of

00:38:33.200 --> 00:38:39.200
them. So that was actually really interesting to see. Um the 3D printed

00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:46.240
car will cost anywhere between 18 and $30,000 though. So

00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:51.480
right now the materials alone are probably what's driving up the cost.

00:38:48.160 --> 00:38:51.480
just plain

00:38:51.839 --> 00:38:57.040
incredibly expensive. You buy enough of that stuff to build a car, you're going

00:38:55.520 --> 00:39:01.200
to be spending a lot of money. Now, you talk about carbon fiber reinforced

00:38:58.720 --> 00:39:04.880
filament. Yeah. Um

00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:07.680
and also, it's it's going to be such low volume at the beginning that you're not

00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:12.480
going to be able to take advantage of. Local Motors is kind of a specialty kind

00:39:10.240 --> 00:39:16.560
of shop, so it's not surprising at all. If they were producing a thousand times

00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:19.200
as many of them, I think we would see prices drop pretty considerably.

00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:22.960
And I'm sure if you work with them, it's going to be a very personalized experience as well.

00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:27.359
This is kind of cool, too. Uh the cost might seem high at first, but many of

00:39:25.359 --> 00:39:31.040
the parts can be reused when you decide to tra change cars or upgrade. So, uh

00:39:30.640 --> 00:39:36.720
good point. Yeah, I'm guessing things like the motor could potentially be reused if you

00:39:34.240 --> 00:39:40.560
decide to, you know, uh oh, okay, I want a single seater type vehicle. I don't

00:39:39.040 --> 00:39:44.320
see any reason why you couldn't put it inside a different 3D printed vehicle.

00:39:42.240 --> 00:39:48.160
Yeah. Or a very different angle. Whereas like if your battery is running kind of

00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:51.200
crap, you can swap the battery out, keep using the chassis and the motor and all

00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:56.480
that stuff. Or if the motor dies for some reason, you can keep using the battery and the chassis.

00:39:53.680 --> 00:40:00.880
Mhm. And that's another thing to to that's that's really cool about the

00:39:58.160 --> 00:40:06.400
simplicity of an electric vehicle is I think the scariness of of car mechanic

00:40:03.920 --> 00:40:09.440
work is is going to go away to a great extent. I mean, Tesla showed off what?

00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:12.800
They swap a battery in 90 seconds. 90 seconds. Like, and that's that like huge battery on the

00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:16.640
bottom. Yeah. So, if they can do it in 90 seconds, I'm sure I can do it in an

00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:22.320
hour. Yeah. You know. Yeah. Yeah. I think I can probably handle this.

00:40:19.680 --> 00:40:25.280
I think you'd have to uh I think you could do it if you had a torque driver.

00:40:24.640 --> 00:40:30.320
That's it. I think that's the only thing you really need. Wow. Because you have to be able to torque in

00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:33.119
the screws to a very specific amount. And then I think

00:40:31.200 --> 00:40:37.200
Yeah. But you can you can you can buy one of those for what, like 40 bucks at

00:40:35.200 --> 00:40:41.200
Canadian Tire? Maybe it's not even that bad. I think that's all you actually need. You need to be able to jack up the

00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:46.320
car and then a torque driver. I think that's all you need. Wow, that's outstanding.

00:40:43.359 --> 00:40:50.000
Obviously not entirely sure, but as I don't think anyone has tried doing it

00:40:47.599 --> 00:40:53.359
themselves, but anyways, as far as I know, that's all

00:40:52.160 --> 00:41:00.319
you'll need. All right, so this was originally posted by Tech Fanatic on the forum. And uh

00:40:58.319 --> 00:41:02.640
this this this is actually pretty funny. I haven't found out if this ever

00:41:02.240 --> 00:41:10.240
happened. Yeah, cuz we weren't at a public event. Yeah, we weren't at the public event

00:41:06.240 --> 00:41:12.640
down in uh down in LA, but um there was

00:41:10.240 --> 00:41:19.520
an email sent out by AMD to their team red members ready to infiltrate game 24.

00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:24.800
Um mentions the warm reception from enthusiasts about their recent AMD30

00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:29.119
live webcast. Um mentioned that we're intrigued that another graphics product

00:41:26.560 --> 00:41:32.640
company uh jumped on the bandwagon by announcing a similar event. They warmly

00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:37.200
encouraged their fans to attend the event, proudly wearing their favorite

00:41:34.560 --> 00:41:42.319
red t-shirt and uh encouraged their viewers to tweet pictures of themselves

00:41:39.040 --> 00:41:44.240
wearing their colors at the events and

00:41:42.319 --> 00:41:50.400
promised to send some love the way of their users. Um I haven't I haven't

00:41:48.240 --> 00:41:54.160
actually been tuned into the internet enough to know if anything happened. So

00:41:52.160 --> 00:41:58.240
honestly, anytime I was I was dual streaming our own stream to talk to the

00:41:56.480 --> 00:42:02.960
chat. So, I haven't really seen the actual Game 24 stream in its entirety.

00:42:00.640 --> 00:42:08.079
I know. I haven't even seen the intro videos for the modders whose builds we

00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:12.720
were covering the creation of for the last 24 hours. So, um you know what

00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:15.680
we've got to do? Uh before we end the show here, guys, we're going to do our

00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:18.880
sponsors next, I think. Then we've got a few more topics. But before we end the

00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:22.720
show, we're going to we're going to pick up the camera off the tripod because uh

00:42:20.960 --> 00:42:25.680
I think we have the flexibility to do that here. There should be no reason we

00:42:24.240 --> 00:42:30.560
can't move it. And we're gonna we're gonna come and we're gonna take a close look at these rigs because they are

00:42:28.640 --> 00:42:34.400
absolutely beautiful. You guys are gonna you guys

00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:37.359
are gonna love them. I am amazed at what these teams did in 24 hours.

00:42:35.920 --> 00:42:41.119
How much uh battery life are we running at right now? Uh we are sitting at around 45 minutes.

00:42:40.720 --> 00:42:45.920
Okay, cool. Yeah, we're we're we're cool. We're we're running we're running good. Just want to make sure.

00:42:44.400 --> 00:42:49.359
Yeah, I don't have uh I don't have another I don't have an AC adapter for

00:42:47.680 --> 00:42:51.839
the camera, so we we can we're very limited by battery life right

00:42:51.359 --> 00:42:57.599
now. Yeah. Yeah. So, sponsor spots, you said.

00:42:55.200 --> 00:43:00.800
Yeah. Yeah. Let's go ahead and uh do do you want to do you want to change over

00:42:58.640 --> 00:43:04.319
to our to our sponsor spots? Actually, I've got a I've got a site for you to

00:43:02.480 --> 00:43:08.440
head to. I want to do Squarespace first. So, guys, Squarespace

00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:42.160
Hope we're back. Yeah. All right. Woo. We are back thankfully.

00:43:40.640 --> 00:43:47.040
Are we still streaming? We're still streaming. Okay.

00:43:44.400 --> 00:43:49.839
Oh, Squarespace. It's the fast, easy way to create your own beautiful website

00:43:49.040 --> 00:43:55.839
that works. Where are we going? Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no. I've got a I've

00:43:53.359 --> 00:44:02.880
got a URL for you. You're freaking stressing me out here, man. Um, it's,

00:43:59.520 --> 00:44:07.839
uh, forever.com.

00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:09.520
F R A C H E. That spelling of fresh. So,

00:44:07.839 --> 00:44:14.960
uh, Squarespace, guys, do we do I have the lower third up? You do. So squarespace.comlininus

00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:19.040
is where to go if you want to give us credit for, you know, referring you to

00:44:17.520 --> 00:44:25.599
Squarespace. Basically, if you've ever wanted to make your own website, Squarespace is a fantastic way to do it.

00:44:23.280 --> 00:44:29.920
They've got great tools, including their logo creator, their website creator.

00:44:27.920 --> 00:44:34.000
They make it easy to use. They also give you the ability to dig a little bit

00:44:31.520 --> 00:44:37.920
deeper if you are more experienced or if you want to get something off the ground

00:44:35.599 --> 00:44:43.760
now and then learn as you go and continue to develop your mobile site,

00:44:39.839 --> 00:44:46.640
whether it's a blog or a store or just

00:44:43.760 --> 00:44:50.160
uh a portfolio or really anything just anformational website that you want to

00:44:48.319 --> 00:44:54.880
run. And what's really cool about Squarespace is uh what are we are we

00:44:53.520 --> 00:44:57.440
still are we still working? That looks frozen. Yes, it's frozen because I'm screen

00:44:56.560 --> 00:45:03.040
regioning. Whenever you're ready. Oh, you're screen regioning. Oh, cool. Okay, that's good. So, uh, one really

00:45:01.440 --> 00:45:09.760
cool thing about what Squarespace does for the Linus Tech Tips WAN Show podcast

00:45:06.560 --> 00:45:11.680
is every single month they sponsor us

00:45:09.760 --> 00:45:15.440
without fail. They sponsor two episodes a month. They give us a lot of support.

00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:18.880
So, guys, if you're if you know anyone who's looking for a website, they want

00:45:17.119 --> 00:45:21.839
to make their own website, refer them to Squarespace. You won't regret it. They

00:45:20.640 --> 00:45:25.599
won't regret it. So, there's all that good stuff. And what's even cooler than

00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:30.000
that is if you decide to give Squarespace a try, they have a two-eek

00:45:27.520 --> 00:45:34.560
trial. No commitment required. Twoe trial. You create your own website. If

00:45:32.160 --> 00:45:40.319
you decide to do that, create your own website and tweet it to me with line of

00:45:37.280 --> 00:45:43.839
Squarespace. We give away an entire year

00:45:40.319 --> 00:45:47.680
of Squarespace hosted website for uh

00:45:43.839 --> 00:45:51.520
once every single month. So, Forever

00:45:47.680 --> 00:45:53.680
Fresh Fresh is our winner for this

00:45:51.520 --> 00:45:56.400
month. So, let's go ahead and get that up on the screen. If Luke could go ahead

00:45:55.920 --> 00:46:00.480
and uh I think we're having some trouble because the resolution of the desktop

00:45:58.960 --> 00:46:02.640
was so crazy high. Oh, that makes sense.

00:46:02.000 --> 00:46:08.880
Freaked out. We are streaming on a 3K notebook right

00:46:05.680 --> 00:46:11.680
now. It's an Aoris X3.

00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:16.079
So, um, yeah, we're not really sure how to

00:46:13.520 --> 00:46:20.000
handle the screen region capturing right now at this moment. So, can you just

00:46:18.319 --> 00:46:25.440
make the browser small and make a smaller screen? It I tried that. It doesn't seem to want

00:46:24.160 --> 00:46:29.040
it. Um, this is what happens when we change all

00:46:27.200 --> 00:46:35.920
the streaming gear. So, the point is, guys, go Squarespace, thank you forever

00:46:33.280 --> 00:46:39.440
for uh for tweeting that to me with Linus Squarespace. you are the big

00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:44.560
winner for this month. Cool thing and other cool thing about Squarespace is they have highly dynamic hosting plans.

00:46:43.359 --> 00:46:50.160
They take care of all the hosting for you and as your business or your blog continues to grow. It can scale with you

00:46:48.800 --> 00:46:54.000
and grow with you. You never have to worry about things not working and

00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:59.119
people having a bad experience when they come to your website. So, uh are you

00:46:57.119 --> 00:47:01.920
just doing a snipping tool of it? All right. Well, I'm going to move on to our

00:47:00.480 --> 00:47:07.200
next sponsor spot in the meantime. Unless you're unless you're ready to

00:47:03.599 --> 00:47:09.599
just kind of kind of go for gold here.

00:47:07.200 --> 00:47:12.079
There we go. Phantom Glass is another sponsor that we actually we love these

00:47:11.599 --> 00:47:16.240
guys. Oh yeah. These guys are one of those companies

00:47:14.640 --> 00:47:20.400
where most of the time when someone reaches out to me out of the blue and

00:47:17.839 --> 00:47:24.880
they go, "Hey, we have this like mobile accessory. It's like a screen protector

00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:27.520
and we want you to review it." Did Did the lights just turn off? Oh, do you

00:47:26.000 --> 00:47:30.000
want It's motion sensitive. Oh yeah. Uh

00:47:29.040 --> 00:47:34.400
awesome. So we have this screen protector that we want you guys to review. I kind of look

00:47:33.040 --> 00:47:38.000
at it and I go, "Oh, are you guys kidding? We we're not going to we're not

00:47:36.079 --> 00:47:43.760
going to do an entire review video of a screen protector because one, it's a

00:47:41.200 --> 00:47:48.319
screen protector and two, they're mostly garbage. But these guys reached out and

00:47:45.920 --> 00:47:52.079
I kind of went, "Okay, you're Canadian, so

00:47:50.160 --> 00:47:55.920
I'll give my Canadian bros a chance here. I'm going to I'm going to at least

00:47:54.000 --> 00:48:00.640
read the email." And then I kind of made my way through the email. I went,

00:47:57.920 --> 00:48:06.720
"That's actually smart." Because the whole idea behind Phantom Glass is that

00:48:03.040 --> 00:48:09.359
you're using the same Gorilla Glass 3

00:48:06.720 --> 00:48:13.760
glass that's already on your phone as a protective layer over top of your phone.

00:48:11.520 --> 00:48:17.440
And so I kind of went, "Okay, send it to me and I may or may not review it. It's

00:48:15.520 --> 00:48:23.119
going to depend on how much I like it." So they sent it to me and their claim

00:48:20.400 --> 00:48:28.720
was that their nano coating, whatever nonsense that they call it, would allow

00:48:25.599 --> 00:48:30.800
the screen to be applied bubble-free

00:48:28.720 --> 00:48:35.359
every time. and allow it to be taken off and reapplied should the need arise. And

00:48:33.280 --> 00:48:37.359
I kind of went BS. Okay.

00:48:36.319 --> 00:48:41.599
Okay. Sure. And so the first time I was applying it

00:48:39.839 --> 00:48:45.359
when I was doing my review video, I was like super careful and like, you know,

00:48:43.680 --> 00:48:48.640
making my way down the screen, pressing across it, and I was like, "Okay, I got

00:48:46.800 --> 00:48:51.440
this on. I got this on. Perfect. Cool." And then for the second one, they

00:48:49.839 --> 00:48:55.440
actually sent me two of them. I just put it on. All the bubbles made their way

00:48:53.760 --> 00:48:59.839
out. It actually made for a pretty compelling video. and uh Phantom Glass

00:48:57.599 --> 00:49:04.800
reached out to us because of our review and you know how how well we were able

00:49:03.040 --> 00:49:10.800
to we were able to capture on video how well the product worked and they were like hey we want to sponsor you guys we

00:49:07.680 --> 00:49:12.960
want to work with you guys. So sometimes

00:49:10.800 --> 00:49:16.960
these these random things start up like that. Anyway, the point is Phantom Glass

00:49:14.640 --> 00:49:21.119
is a great product and all of a sudden we've went we've gone from they sent us

00:49:19.200 --> 00:49:25.280
a random email and I kind of turned my nose up at them to now we consider them

00:49:23.520 --> 00:49:29.200
a partner. We think it's a great product. Absolutely great product and

00:49:27.839 --> 00:49:31.920
highly recommended. So visit store.fantom.glass

00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:35.839
to learn more. We got to we got to jump back to the

00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:39.119
Squarespace one. I want to give Forever Fras.

00:49:37.680 --> 00:49:43.760
Yeah, we want to we want to give this website some props. I mean, the thing about Squarespace is that it's pretty

00:49:41.920 --> 00:49:47.599
easy to make your site look great, but it still is a matter of, you know,

00:49:45.520 --> 00:49:50.559
picking a good template and, you know, picking photos that look really nice.

00:49:49.040 --> 00:49:55.040
You know, I wish we could navigate on it because some of the people who submit

00:49:52.720 --> 00:49:58.160
these uh these these trial sites to us, they don't really put much work into it.

00:49:56.400 --> 00:50:02.640
And this one actually you can navigate a fair bit. Sorry, man. So guys on the stream, you know, please

00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:05.440
do please do check out the site and if you like it, then then maybe give

00:50:04.400 --> 00:50:08.640
Squarespace a try. All I could really do was get that. So

00:50:07.839 --> 00:50:16.000
yeah, I know, man. There we go. Okay. All right. SanDisk.

00:50:12.640 --> 00:50:21.280
This is this is crazy. SanDisk announced

00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:23.200
the world's biggest SD card at 512

00:50:21.280 --> 00:50:29.359
gigabytes. Literally half the size of the largest

00:50:26.559 --> 00:50:34.480
consumer grade full-size SSDs. And we're talking an SD card. It can write at

00:50:31.599 --> 00:50:40.319
speeds of up to 90 megabytes per second and should be able to hold about 4 hours

00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:42.559
of 4K footage or 24 hours of 1080p

00:50:40.319 --> 00:50:48.400
footage depending on settings. This is according to geek.com. has an MSRP of

00:50:45.520 --> 00:50:51.760
$800. Actually, not that unreasonable.

00:50:49.839 --> 00:50:55.520
I know, but it's for an SD card. How many we have that die?

00:50:53.520 --> 00:50:58.559
Okay. Okay. You know what though? Funny that you should mention that. We've

00:50:56.720 --> 00:51:04.960
never had a SanDisk die. It's true. We've never had a SanDisk die. Uh we've

00:51:02.079 --> 00:51:09.280
never had an A data die. So, you know, if I was and it's it's it's so funny

00:51:07.040 --> 00:51:14.319
because SD cards are one of those very simple devices where brand loyalty, much

00:51:12.480 --> 00:51:17.200
like hard drives, gets built just based on someone's personal experience. And

00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:22.319
based on that, pretty extensive experience. We we do have a fair bit of experience.

00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:25.440
Obviously, the overall pool is still very small. Still very small and not statistically

00:51:24.480 --> 00:51:31.200
significant. Oh, but that doesn't change the fact that when you when you go through enough a

00:51:28.800 --> 00:51:36.000
data or SanDisk SD cards and none of them die, you kind of go, "Okay, well,

00:51:33.599 --> 00:51:38.720
maybe we'll use some more then." And it's working out. Yeah, it's doing

00:51:37.839 --> 00:51:44.079
really well, actually. Ah, the Logitech G910.

00:51:41.760 --> 00:51:47.440
I keep on getting me message messages about this and I have no idea what's

00:51:45.599 --> 00:51:55.040
going on. This was posted by X-Tank Slayer and basically Logitech is working

00:51:51.760 --> 00:51:58.800
on or well has announced um an RGP

00:51:55.040 --> 00:52:02.319
mechanical gaming keyboard based on RORG

00:51:58.800 --> 00:52:05.359
mechanical switches. So it is it is

00:52:02.319 --> 00:52:08.079
funny to see the way the industry went

00:52:05.359 --> 00:52:12.559
from consolidating to everyone just shipping clones of Cherry MX Switch

00:52:10.640 --> 00:52:17.359
keyboards to everyone trying to differentiate again all of a sudden. So

00:52:14.800 --> 00:52:23.119
Razer's going to their uh their Razer branded switches that are being

00:52:18.960 --> 00:52:26.640
manufactured in China. Um Corsair is

00:52:23.119 --> 00:52:29.359
still is still playing the uh the Cherry

00:52:26.640 --> 00:52:33.040
MX trumpet pretty hardcore. In fact, they've started putting Cherry branding

00:52:31.280 --> 00:52:38.240
right on their packaging. That partnership is alive and well. Logitech,

00:52:36.400 --> 00:52:40.400
who to my knowledge has only done one mechanical gaming keyboard,

00:52:39.680 --> 00:52:45.680
the G710 Plus. The G710 Plus has gone and released what

00:52:43.920 --> 00:52:50.960
looks to be positioned as a higherend product with ROR G switches. Now,

00:52:48.800 --> 00:52:54.720
so do you know where those are coming from? No, I know nothing.

00:52:53.119 --> 00:53:00.079
I know absolutely nothing about ROR G switches. Obviously, I haven't been able to really spend a lot of time trying to

00:52:57.760 --> 00:53:02.960
figure it out. Um because the most amount of information I've seen about

00:53:01.200 --> 00:53:08.720
this is in this doc right now. Yeah. I've uh I've been a little busy

00:53:05.040 --> 00:53:11.520
with my K70RGB, which has a 130 plus

00:53:08.720 --> 00:53:15.920
page user manual, by the way. This this is like the not for noobs keyboard as

00:53:14.160 --> 00:53:19.680
far as I can tell so far. Although I made my way through about the first 40

00:53:17.440 --> 00:53:22.480
pages on the flight here, and most of it is pretty self-explanatory. So,

00:53:21.040 --> 00:53:26.880
well, there's that once once you get to it, there's that like full light control panel thing

00:53:25.839 --> 00:53:33.280
that's going to be complicated. Badass. Yeah. And that'll probably be complicated. So, uh, Logitech's going to

00:53:31.200 --> 00:53:39.480
have their ARCs control SDK that's going to allow you to control your peripherals

00:53:34.800 --> 00:53:39.480
from your phone screen, DPI, etc.

00:53:39.920 --> 00:53:46.079
Uh, okay. And show system information. Going to have media controls for tablets

00:53:44.480 --> 00:53:47.839
or smartphones. Uh, Logitech is sending us a G910.

00:53:47.520 --> 00:53:52.880
Okay. So, I've already been in touch and we are we are going to definitely try it

00:53:51.040 --> 00:53:56.240
out. And, uh, really interested to learn more about

00:53:54.319 --> 00:54:00.880
the switches. See, I mean, they they're rating them for more clicks, which for

00:53:59.119 --> 00:54:05.119
me, you know, going, "Okay, well, ours is 70 million keystrokes versus your 50

00:54:03.200 --> 00:54:09.119
million keystrokes." It's all kind of especially when

00:54:07.119 --> 00:54:12.480
mechanical switches, it's like, yeah, these

00:54:10.640 --> 00:54:16.640
don't really break. Yeah. I mean, I think Cher's rating of

00:54:14.559 --> 00:54:19.599
50 million is probably pretty conservative. Conservative. Yeah.

00:54:18.319 --> 00:54:24.960
Yeah. I don't know. This sounds really cool. I

00:54:23.440 --> 00:54:28.960
think you just skipped over it with your cursor, but bleep Bit Torrent,

00:54:27.200 --> 00:54:33.359
I'm on that. Originally posted by Ray Fee on the forum, original articles from

00:54:30.720 --> 00:54:38.079
theverge.com and Bit Torrent is determined to get rid of the stigma and

00:54:36.400 --> 00:54:40.960
that's good because they don't deserve it. No. So, so tell us about tell us about

00:54:40.480 --> 00:54:45.280
Bleep. I honestly know nothing about it. This

00:54:43.599 --> 00:54:48.960
is the first time I've seen anything about it, but the second I read any

00:54:47.760 --> 00:54:54.720
information about it. So, it's it's it's it's basically a chat client where it's

00:54:52.319 --> 00:54:58.800
practically impossible quote unquote to gather metadata on who's talking. And it

00:54:56.880 --> 00:55:03.680
will be available for Windows 7, 8, Mac, Android, iOS clients, basically

00:55:01.599 --> 00:55:07.280
everything. The second I read that, which is basically all I really needed

00:55:05.200 --> 00:55:11.760
to know, it's also in uh public alpha, by the way. I I'm pretty stoked. And I

00:55:10.240 --> 00:55:15.440
might move a lot of things to this platform if it actually works really

00:55:13.359 --> 00:55:20.079
well because not a fan of Skype.

00:55:17.760 --> 00:55:24.960
Yeah, hate it. But it's the only thing that I could seem to be able to get

00:55:22.240 --> 00:55:29.040
everyone on at the same time. And everyone has the same complaints about

00:55:26.720 --> 00:55:32.400
it, which this might be able to solve, right? Which would be great. So, I hope they

00:55:30.880 --> 00:55:37.280
have stuff like group chats, which would be very important for stuff that I do.

00:55:34.559 --> 00:55:41.359
Um, and I I don't know. It would be really easy, really interesting to see

00:55:38.800 --> 00:55:43.440
maybe if they have um voice chat as well. I know pretty much.

00:55:42.240 --> 00:55:47.440
Let's keep an eye on it. I mean, we've seen how quickly Bit Torrent Sync is moving.

00:55:45.520 --> 00:55:50.799
Oh my goodness. Holy cow. Bit Torrent Sync is changing really

00:55:48.880 --> 00:55:54.799
fast. So, that's their that's their kind of I I don't want to call it a Dropbox

00:55:52.720 --> 00:55:58.880
competitor cuz it's not, but it has some similar functionality to

00:55:57.440 --> 00:56:02.559
cloud-based storage solutions like Dropbox except you control your own

00:56:00.720 --> 00:56:06.319
cloud. And that's what that's what Bit Torrent is all about. Maintaining your

00:56:04.319 --> 00:56:10.160
anonymity and your privacy and controlling your own data. And you got

00:56:08.240 --> 00:56:15.119
to respect that as a as a company mission statement. Apparently from Comcast, you are illegal

00:56:13.440 --> 00:56:17.440
and should get off their service. Damn. Well,

00:56:17.040 --> 00:56:23.440
but speaking of illegal, uh, the Pirate Bay founder told he can expect to carry his

00:56:21.359 --> 00:56:28.480
father's coffin while wearing handcuffs. This is this is pretty gross. Um there's

00:56:26.400 --> 00:56:32.640
only 50 days left on his sentence and his brother Mattz has spoken out for uh

00:56:31.359 --> 00:56:37.280
for apparently the first time the original article is from torrentfreak.com has spoken out for the

00:56:35.599 --> 00:56:40.960
first time in his brother's favor saying you know I've deliberately said very

00:56:38.720 --> 00:56:48.160
little partly because he can speak for himself. Um, but I feel like the the

00:56:46.079 --> 00:56:53.599
justice system has forgotten about its job to support prisoners to ensure that

00:56:50.960 --> 00:56:56.799
they don't return to prison. And even though uh their father has been

00:56:55.280 --> 00:57:00.319
seriously ill for some time and was admitted to the hospital in the summer,

00:56:58.480 --> 00:57:03.520
Peter has only been able to visit his father once and has been told he's

00:57:02.079 --> 00:57:08.400
allowed to attend his father's funeral, but two guards will accompany him and he

00:57:05.200 --> 00:57:10.160
will have to wear handcuffs. And um his

00:57:08.400 --> 00:57:13.440
his brother basically is speaking out against this. Sorry, give us one moment.

00:57:12.079 --> 00:57:17.520
Is speaking out against us, saying, "Well, the problem with this is that it

00:57:15.119 --> 00:57:19.760
punishes not only him, but also me and my mother and my dead father and and our

00:57:19.440 --> 00:57:25.599
family." Everyone that's going to be at the funeral and everyone who's going to be at the funeral. It doesn't feel fair.

00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:29.760
The optics on that are going to be horrible. Yep.

00:57:27.839 --> 00:57:33.119
Google sees his Nexus 5 production. This was posted by Top War Gamer on the

00:57:31.359 --> 00:57:36.880
forum. Original article is from Slash Gear. This came from Canadian wireless

00:57:34.960 --> 00:57:40.799
carrier Wind Mobile's customer support via Twitter. A customer asked why they

00:57:39.359 --> 00:57:43.920
don't list the Nexus 5 on their device page and win said, "Well, because it's

00:57:42.799 --> 00:57:51.839
no longer being made and we don't have any stock." Um, Samsung to build its own mobile GPU.

00:57:49.040 --> 00:57:55.200
Uh, this is posted on fudzilla.com. I wonder if that'll be more more uh

00:57:53.680 --> 00:57:59.040
suing from NVIDIA. Interesting. Samsung has managed to hire

00:57:56.720 --> 00:58:02.000
ex NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel employees. Nothing has been announced yet. The

00:58:00.559 --> 00:58:07.520
development has apparently been going on for at least two years.

00:58:05.760 --> 00:58:11.440
All right, I think we're pretty much gonna have to call that in. One quick thing before we go, actually,

00:58:10.160 --> 00:58:17.839
because I know quite a few of my friends are really excited about this, is that Twitch announces its Google Chcast.

00:58:15.119 --> 00:58:21.280
Yes. Posted by Rafa on the forum, uh, the original sources blog. Twitch.tv.

00:58:20.160 --> 00:58:25.200
This is exciting. Yeah. So, there's there's honestly not a

00:58:23.359 --> 00:58:28.720
ton else to say, but it's sweet. Yeah. So, now you can you can you can

00:58:27.119 --> 00:58:32.880
watch the WAN Show on your TV with your chcast. Yeah. Hey,

00:58:31.440 --> 00:58:38.720
next week because this one's basically over. Um, so I do want to I do want to

00:58:35.440 --> 00:58:40.079
pick up the camera there. I think uh I

00:58:38.720 --> 00:58:43.200
think we're being kicked out because it's time for everyone to go to dinner and I'm pretty sure everyone's just kind

00:58:42.880 --> 00:58:52.240
of somehow manipulate the tired in general. Uh yeah, sure. So, um you know what? Oh,

00:58:50.079 --> 00:58:56.960
I don't have I don't have my lav mic, unfortunately. So, you know what? Here's

00:58:54.319 --> 00:59:02.359
what I'm going to do. I'm just gonna Oh, I don't know if I can pop You know what?

00:58:58.559 --> 00:59:02.359
I'm just going to carry this.

00:59:10.319 --> 00:59:15.000
Okay. So,

00:59:16.079 --> 00:59:23.520
this is the ghettoest ghettoest setup ever. But I'm going to I'm going to hold

00:59:20.799 --> 00:59:27.520
this like this. And uh we want to show you guys we want to show you guys these

00:59:25.359 --> 00:59:30.960
modded out rigs. I think the most Be careful not to press that middle button.

00:59:29.359 --> 00:59:33.760
Yeah. All right. I think I'm still wrapped up somewhere.

00:59:32.960 --> 00:59:38.799
Uh, what is this cable? I got no idea, man.

00:59:36.880 --> 00:59:42.640
XLR. That's important. Uh oh, the XLR cable. Well, you don't

00:59:40.720 --> 00:59:46.640
need to get that far, right? If you here if you put the laptop on the table, I

00:59:45.280 --> 00:59:53.400
think you should be you should be long enough to uh to reach the rigs here.

00:59:49.680 --> 00:59:53.400
So, uh,
