savage jerky that's a spoiler alert
so yeah welcome to the lan show this week hosted by riley and james yeah
never before seen unfortunately jesus take the wheel i'm in
i'm in charge of running the intro and everything first time ever in big
trouble it's gonna be a good show we got lots of cool news like discord launching
its own game store trying to be all steamy and new leaks about the google
pixel 3. are you as excited as last year
and not only that but also be careful about what laptop chargers you use
because it could destroy your laptop and also another useless augmented reality
headset don't call it that roll the intro bam
yeah i love this intro i hope it never goes
away is it good
yeah wow little people they represent us
today a little full of himself i'm short with brown hair and you're taller darker
brown savage jerky
yep yeah fresh book fresh books
my favorite i am what fortnite heck what the heck
okay all right we'll get there i guess
download fortnite i mean don't i mean do it
yes do it get out and get out now okay i'm only
here because elias and luke are not available it's not because this is a
permanent thing for everyone who's like ah i get riley out of there i just
wanted to make that clear okay so so
wancho equals james if not Linus or luke hmm
oh you're putting show equals equation
james and riley when when
minus when not you know luke would not equal Linus and luke
that's it yeah or there's an xor we can use all right sure i don't know equation
you talk it's programming i'm an artsy guy
i don't know about numbers i'm a psychologist damn it i i took psychology
i have a psychology i have a psychology degrees
all right well let's start talking about this game stuff then psych man mr
scientist discord they got a big beta coming out part of
that beta is a game store yeah this is
uh this is a huge deal this is actually the um
the thumbnail story on net linked or TechLinked
today represent um steam came out and was like hey we're
gonna copy discord's chat chat services they got like the chat rooms and
everything in steam now so discord was like oh yeah oh yeah you
want to have just one product let's just be
let's just make there just be one product yeah when copycat product no
it's a little different because obviously i think it's a lot
easier for steam to copy chat features than it is for a chat platform to copy
a library because steam is like a it's a giant network that's a library of games
that's way harder to implement yeah i mean so okay to be fair let's like go
through what is actually happening so they're rolling out this beta to 50 000
canadian players uh they'll see let me stop you right
there okay i had to google if these guys are if it is a canadian
company is discord canadian i didn't look it up either i tried i didn't find
anything i think it would jump out if they were i'm just assuming they're
american so why are they releasing it to canadian players i don't is discord canadian does
anyone in the chat i tried that i went to the wikipedia the wikipedia didn't
even say where they were incorporated or anything anyone in the chat know if discord's canadian
i guess yeah this guy says this guy says
disco is american oh they're amer
so no based in california people are saying yeah but that does yeah san francisco
okay so they just like seem really they're just like oh we love canada
something technical they got all the look it's a long time coming all right
we never get anything first and this is we deserve this i think yes
we're so nice all the time for all the times that you watch a keynote and
they're like and we didn't stop there this is rolling out
today today two three states yeah oh the worst is when
it goes to the uk and australia before canada ah we're right here
it's the french that holds us back what what was that dennis is laughing at us
go away dennis yeah jeez so i like us too
dennis i'm so famous so they're doing two things to be fair
so it's like it's it's a discord store where they're going to
uh have curated games uh so not like a curated list of games
yeah yeah it's not gonna be like all the big ea games all the big ubisoft game
it's like kind of more indie stuff like dead cells is on there i think frost
punk some of those like popular games but not huge so they're gonna have
different stores it's supposed to be like really personalized like when you click on it there's a little description
of the game that's written by a a um employee of discord that kind of
gives their own little i like this game right it's like
artisanal yes artisanal games oh yeah that's it
this was hand crafted by tiny children in venezuela when i was
just a boy i spent many hours okay there's that
there's that and then they also are adding um
like a subscription game type thing like a netflix for games type service
uh to nitro nitro which is there already
existing subscription service yeah so nitro is just basically a way for people
to just support discord and like donate to them it's kind of like patreon you're
mostly there to give them money but in exchange you get some perks like being
able to have a video or gif as your avatar and stuff like that and this new
netflix of games is is just another perk really right
it's a pretty ba perk though yeah i think it's not bad it's emba
uh it's in the
do you even play games emba like mba imbalanced
imba i do play games
i play games no i do but i've never i've never encountered that before i mean i'm
not like super maybe it's an rts thing no it's a shooter am i am i full for not
knowing what imba means i know i know op i know nerfing
inbounds like the opposite of nerfing when something's in imba it gets nerfed
so p overpowered you well like okay it's more
or less more yeah you're correct about that it's like kylie is a what girl
what's ligma see what is imba people i think op is
more who's the gamer boy now gamer boys and girls sound off
all right um one thing that they're going to have is
first on discord games so these are going to be indie games that discord
helps develop they have some kind of stake in them and then they're going to
appear on the discord game store first
right for 90 days usually before getting wider release to all the other platforms
everything like that so that's kind of cool they're like kind of incubating some indie games that
maybe wouldn't have as much of a yeah yeah an initial reach
yeah it sounds like they wanna they want to get some of that sweet
steam-esque money that game store money but they also want to differentiate
their service by you know being high touch right right artisanal
artisanal i don't know how to say it artisanal artisanal it's artisanal that
sounds wrong and it feels so good okay so they're
also doing um because discord is kind of
one of the things that like and this is an indicator of this one of the things that discord seems to have been trying
to do is kind of be the
the hub for like pc gamers like hey it
shows what your friends are playing it has all these chat rooms that you might
be interested in you can like play music on there and people know what they're
what you're playing and stuff so they want to be like the one stop shop you
go to your you turn on your pc you're gonna do some gaming you open discord
and this thing is uh leaning towards that they're adding a
universal library so they want you to launch your games through steam now even
that is a crucial feature through discord how annoying is it to have to
open up epic games launcher origin
steam like a different launcher battle net just to launch whatever game you
want to play at that moment so this is discord's gonna have a feature where
you can scan your pc if you let it to detect all the games that you have
installed and then you can launch them from the discord thing what it's gonna do is it'll launch steam and then launch
the game yeah yeah yeah but at least this is one thing to click on at least
you can have your i mean i think uh the Windows tries to do that with like the
xbox app i think you can do that in the xbox app that's built in but no one
wants to use that because it's xbox
so good luck discord power to you be better than microsoft
cheers cheers cheers bud this one's for you yeah thanks johnners
for posting this by the way there's the forum post don't forget all the stuff
comes from the forum love you johnners yes oh also well okay i put as a sub
story for that fallout 76 won't be on steam but maybe that that doesn't really
fit in there okay so maybe fits in with the what's
going on with the pixel 3 leaks
it's been ongoing yeah they've been well it's kind of like the um
man it's kind of like the NVIDIA leaks right now like it's just so irritating
how many they are especially for you and i
who like are going through all of the tech news like we go through every tech
news story basically and trying to find the ones we need to
talk about and there's like google pixel leaks NVIDIA leaks every other story
it's like stop it and the most annoying thing is knowing how they vary week to
week because the nature of publishing online is like well i need to write 15
articles today so any tiny minute change
in the state of things is worth a new article so even if it doesn't give you
new information like let's say this week we learned there's a notch or there's a
leak that there's a notch and then next week
well now it's confirmed that there's a notch but we already knew there was going to be a notch but now it's like
more official man i hate the notch
my first notes that i wrote in here are why why is there a notch it literally
says why is the notch so big that's the only that's the talking why are not just
a thing i really because so we've only seen the
google pixel 3 xl so basically okay so what have we seen it's all glass there's
no headphone jack two front facing cameras because of the notch obviously
one front uh rear-facing back camera not two like every other phone right now oh
so they want bokeh on the front yeah but not on the back and they'll just use
that yeah they also got the fingerprint reader on the back it's got 2960x4040 display four
gigs of RAM and most likely a snapdragon 845 i would hope so that's not confirmed
yet um and then also in the leaks that we do
you want to bring them up do you bring me to click on that well do you
bring things up yeah we bring stuff up do you bring things up so people can look at it what do you want me to bring
up i've never been on the rs article or you posted these yeah the uh the rs one
man boom yeah just give them give them a little something here it is people
that's yeah screen we saw so for the people talking about case Labs we did
just see that like literally as we sat down
so we don't really have any details of that but we'll we will talk about it uh
in at some point okay click through this little slideshow
um well yeah someone's like no 3.5 millimeter
jack and a notch count me out tell you can say you can say that again big guy
good girl no i'm actually more angry i don't mind the notch
i'm more angry about headphone jack
and uh you see the thing is see this is like
everything that i don't want in a phone i want a headphone jack i don't want a
notch do you want the front firing dual
steering carrier speakers oh so yeah cause that's what a lot of people say
they're like i don't care about thin bezels give me speakers on the front
pointing at me and i don't care about that at all i
don't give a rat's patootie about speakers on the front
guys the best speakers you could ever put in
a phone are still gonna suck i'm using headphones i think it's obnoxious when
people are in public listening to things on their phone i hate it even when my wife's phone
makes noise because she's watching a snapchat or something i'm just like ah i just hate it yeah i'm never using those
speakers that's true i it used to i think that was like
i think one company put it on htc i think with one of their one phones like
the m6 or m7 or something had front-facing speakers and everyone was
like whoa front-facing because they're so cool so then since then people have been like
oh front-facing speakers are a good thing but i've i'm with you man
screw that i think it's like people like it on paper or something like that it makes them feel more techy or something
i don't know i want no bezels i want the full screen now the question see i don't
care about that either it just looks so much cooler i'm i'm
really like i don't care what my phone looks like i'm gonna slap a case on it
either way so see i run nude oh really totally new the first thing i
do every time i get a phone is i buy an otterbox or something
spygen i don't know i used to do that and then i would i
would drop my phone tens of times a day follow my pocket when i'm on motorcycle
route to concrete all the time i'm dropping it yeah that's what i do i i intentionally throw this
around yes because i can exactly if you
get a new phone it's gone good just did it sweet baby jesus if you get easy man
if you get a new phone and you're already gonna treat it nicer because
it's new yeah and you're like okay it's naked
i'm just gonna i'm gonna treat it good i'm gonna make sure every time i reach
down to my pocket that it's in the pocket before i let it go and you're just you just get these new habits i've
dropped this thing like twice and one of those times is because i was in the movie theater and just fell out of my
pocket since then i got a skin on it it's grippier see i'm just
okay this is like a discussion for another time but like
what's you know what's the point of not putting a case on and then
like i might as well put a case on and avoid a future
where you know my phone cracks and i have to get another phone because i was i didn't
want to spend 40 bucks it's not about the money it's the bulk
it's just you don't even have to spend 40 bucks you can go to the night market and get one for like six dollars or
something anyways look okay
stop stop it
don't touch me um so this one comes with
well apparently the leak there's pixel buds a
usb so that's like a appears to be a wired
version usbc version of the pixel like
error the wireless pixel yeah that'll be interesting i wonder if they're going to be capacitive
capacitative capacitive capacitive capacitor touch sensitive i want to be
you know like on the pixel buds you can hold down on it and heal the google system with very low latency that'd be
great if they had that included on these one thing that i thought was interesting
is the there's a there's a d33p on the forums put a
video like a new video of the pixel 3 xl like just up just like just now or a
couple or an hour ago or something and it shows that there's a volume rocker
and a power button on the right side no buttons on the left side so i don't know what
they're wasting that space maybe this is like an engine what do they have before
i don't know get that pixel over here well you i'm sure you can still squeeze
it right yeah they're probably gonna have that squeezable that's a pretty deep notch
but you know what so is the uh iphone 10s the iphone x is a wider notch
than a lot of the other chinese phones i really hope the pixel because i need a
new phone i'm still rocking a galaxy s6 here guys and gals don't tell people
that why it's been a while you do this to embarrass that's why i can throw it
around also it's because it's got a case and you're hoping it does
justify it
you know i wanted to get the pixel 2 but it's not you know they're releasing the
new one soon so i really hope that it doesn't even have
a notch you see i really want a pixel
3 small version the regular one but it's probably not gonna have a notch
and it's gonna have two front facing speakers instead of sweet bezels like the form
factor of the s9 like the edge display it's a very thin bezel on the top and
bottom that would be great if that was just a pixel though i don't want a
samsung don't even like i don't even like the edges anyways you know what
this is not this is not important is it
we're done we're not even talking about the the story anymore we're just
rambling we're just ranting okay well that was the story ranting's okay right
this is the ranch show on the last the ranch show on the last one i think luke
and lions just like ranted for like 10 minutes didn't they once someone came up to me at ltx and
was like you know what i like about you on the WAN Show is you keep people on
task on top you're doing the opposite right
well we might still be doing better than Linus oh that's the other thing it's got
four gigs of RAM and people are like four gigs isn't enough in 2018 for a
phone yeah five pluses have those it could be enough i have no idea because i have a
super old phone once again so guess what happened in the uk
they changed the law and it turns out people were buying internet
and did you skip one i rolled down yeah i'm not talking about that right now why
not i don't wanna okay fine so there was a law in the uk that if you
were a provider of internet you could advertise
speeds um that
weren't realistic best possible scenario they were like as long as those speeds
were actually deliverable to 10 of your user base you could advertise them so
you might be able to say like 17 megabits a second but only like most
people were getting 10. so the law changed it was uh involved in
like a suite of laws that came into play like in may but it's just i don't know
some research has been done recently to see how that affected all the different
providers there and like 12 of the biggest providers who are all just names
they've never seen before zen and i know sky plus net i know about
sky john lewis broadband
john lewis so british yeah exactly
subscribe now jordan lewis broadbend is that is that bad is that racist yes
no i can do british we're not this isn't our car ride home
we can't talk about this kind of stuff yeah um so the the way that the law changed
was instead of it uh
instead of the advertised speed only applying to at least 10 percent it has
to be at least 50 percent of users during peak times
so yeah a lot of them had to reduce their advertise speeds by like 40 or 50
percent so now if it's if you advertise 17 megabits per second you have to
advertise 10 or 11.
so like the the speeds that they're advertising just like drop ridiculously
yeah like the poster from last year is like
all new super lt four gen blurb
41 percent drop on average like that's
what here bring the bring the thing up
no don't they want to see this well if you guys want it's not like a
chart it's just like embedded in text i saw i saw a screenshot of like the new
is that what it is of the new um
like speeds and they're like ridiculous it's like sign up for our lowest tier and get like
10 megabits per second oh my goodness well hmm
well hold on let me personally answer this
um so this is why you don't bring up the things i can't say no just because it
takes less cognitive load there we go i'm okay i'm really sorry that i said
anything see that's a big mistake this is bad this isn't even the thing at all
i don't want to look at this here's some stock photos she's like huh is that
slower or faster anyway the good thing about this is i hate when there's things
in your life that are like oh yeah that's what it says but day to
day you don't get those speeds like oh you're so naive you haven't you haven't
learned the ropes that right even though it says 17 you're never gonna get that
no one gets that i hate that i hate that stuff see but like
this is what i'm confused about because here in canada i signed up for a 30 well now i have 80
but be when i say well okay so i have 88
megabits per second down okay it's nothing fancy but like when i do a speed
test if i don't get 76 at least
i'm like what the heck is going on so how do these people like advertise hey you can
get 50 and they're really getting like 12.
how is that okay yeah i guess that's what because there's a little asterisk beside it that says
like during the deadest times it's like your miles per gallon on a highway with
the wind at your back it's like if no one else is online
and you've got a pure platinum cable
yeah hard lined in you'll be good to go the straightest cable
does this still cable if it's not flexible no i i don't i don't know how that i
don't know how i don't know technology man
all right so they were oh but the deal is that they were paying for that speed
but now they do they pay less now because no no no
well the thing is it's all relative anyway because it's all just based on the
competition there's also different providers they're all probably providing
the same speeds at the lowest prices they can
yeah what are you laughing now sorry somebody said oh 80 megabytes it's not
88 megabits per second i have 80. and that's only after i got like an upgrade
offer i had 30 before and i said 80 that's nothing fancy and then people
were like ooh nothing fancy i'm sitting here with ten and i'm like that also
sucks i'm really sorry yeah there's someone in korea it's like
yeah e equals mc squared dude
we're flying over here yeah we don't even use numbers i did hear that korea
has like crazy fast internet i get 171. okay what do you want some
money what do you want good for you yeah send some that
internet over here about yeah what about us
i'm sitting with .05 i'm really sorry about that i want to know about this
magic leap let me tell you about magic leap
james what's your name james yeah that's it is it
a little background magic leap has been teasing the sickest technology for years
oh my gosh you've got these videos where you just put on these glasses and
suddenly you have these super high resolution mixed reality objects in
front of you like whales splashing
let us know in the chat if you saw any of those like concept videos uh from
like 2015 and stuff uh because
they were ridiculous like there was the hype for this company was through the
roof the investor commitment the millions of dollars they earned and then
in the recent months they they teased an actual physical implementation of like
what these things look like they have these like steampunk look to them yeah
i'm going to pull that up well they do still they do yeah they do still kind of
look like they're like a steam punky thing they got the really round lenses
and stuff hololens is like a i feel like it lies to you a little bit
less than the hololens in terms of physical design because hololens has the
big visor but really all you can see is like this little rectangular area i mean
that's technically hollow is it
no but uh um but these ones at least are
like okay look this is what you're gonna be able to see but even
yeah they're like that but even with this the the round area is
only a fraction or the it's only a fraction of that round area that you can
actually see the holograms get out of town yeah yeah get out it's still like a
little this isn't you can you can't see all of that it's like this little it's
like a little rectangular area within the the circular area again that's so
lame um so yeah i've been following this
since 2014 that's basically our set
yeah all right they're really copying us i'm getting out of here 2014 was the first i
looked up the old script that i did for the ncix news show to net linked okay i
did in 2014 that was when we reported on it fall 2014 and like google put 500
million dollars of funding into the company
and then over the years they got more and more i think the their most recent
estimate like a year ago or something was 4.5 billion dollars was the
estimated good law value of this company so the hype was like crazy and so
oh and that's the other thing they said they were using this like light field tech
that is not just like putting light onto a screen they said
they were going to shoot light directly into your retinas yeah
yeah you you you saw that i like that
you're into that the sun's deer i love that i love light field tech
it's like field tech but light yeah
but no that's not what it is they come out with it it's basically a hololens
it's basically the same thing as all lens they released the magic leap one
creator edition it's like the developer version
two thousand two hundred ninety five dollars uh which i think is not that far off
from what the hololens was when they released the developer google glass was
1500 right and i think hololens was around there i
did let me know in the chat if you know how much hololens was because i don't remember but i know it was expensive i'm
not googling it you guys tell me we don't i haven't tried it but from the
people who have tried it on the internet it's whack well it's not terrible that's the thing
that's the thing that's disappointing about it like if it was like terrible terrible it'd be like oh look at that
but it's like it's basically like the hololens like
people were saying like it's maybe maybe a little bit better than the hololens
but not much and then add on the fact
that they don't even have any of like the software
uh there for like because you know hololens is they're trying to integrate
it into Windows and stuff microsoft is like software is their thing yeah like
on day one i can take my excel spreadsheet grab it with my hands like
tom cruise and move it over here and the only official
uh experiences available for this right now is
i well the only ones that i found there might be more but the only ones that i
found were like a cigarose music experience type thing all right we'd
play cigarose music play that a couple times the icelandic band oh yeah
i'm not gonna pretend to be icelandic but i've heard icelandic people say it siguros
you're turning into an all the time i'm doing it no no it's dude
no i'm trying to do like a little bit like uh you know like uh bjork is bjork
icelandic yeah she kind of has the voice like this it's like a little elf that's
kind of dutch she gross all right anyways they have a cigarettes
experience where it's like a music equalizer thing not equalizer visualizer
and then they have like a project create which is like
it's like a it's like minecraft or like these other
you know those games that are like let you make games in the game
dreams was one of them i think
you can play god yeah yeah basically so they have that so you can like play
around with things you can bake castles there's little nights that are run around you can like make like circuits
and stuff but like other than that what's the point what's the point
you know well and you also have to wear a little computer
oh it's got the googles and the googles the googles and the noodles you've got
the googles of poodles and the schnoodles and then you're set yeah that's a hard reveal too
when they're like oh yeah it's not just these giant goggles you also have to
wear this super like it's basically a pg maker a discman
a disc a walk mask that's a joke i made on twitter when they first revealed it i
made a difference so ahead of me yeah why don't you eat this
delicious jerky how no you can actually open that and

give us more money and we love you
what fortnite this ain't your mom's video game
i mean it might be back if your mom plays that's fine
can i eat the jerky again now yes yes you may there's some a lot spicier than
i thought was now it wouldn't be a week of tech news without something
from elon musk just right this week he may or may not
have manipulated stock markets yeah
uh if he goes to jail soon and the stock price totally tanks you'll know why
so i i didn't understand this really so it's so he tweeted that he might take
tesla private might take tesla private funding
security is what he wrote right so wait do we need to tell people what private
and public companies mean i i don't really understand that okay when you
start a company i mean i understand that you go on the stock exchange basically
it's like anytime anyone starts a company it's a private company it's owned by the people who start the
company yeah and that's it when they get really big it's usually
because they want a fundraise they make the company public which means that
anyone can buy ownership of that company and that's
what a share is so instead of me and you owning james riley
corp suddenly thousands of people can own it and because they all i don't want
to buy pieces of it we get a lot of money no i don't want other people to
share in the special relationship you and i have that's right because if they
do then you're beholden to them so a public company that has shareholders
they have to serve the shareholders the shareholders are represented by the
board and every week the board board's trying to make you hit target so you can
make more money for the shareholders and all these annoying things that are really bothering elon musk so he would
like to take tesla back from being public i think it's
called a leveraged buyout when you you were public and then you're like no
we're just gonna buy all the shares back from everybody and we'll be private again just like spacex is yay so what he
claimed in this tweet was that hey guys i found someone with enough money to buy
all the shares back from you at a pr stock like a share price of 420
and at that moment for 20. am i right
the stock price at that time was only 340 bucks
so if that news was true then that means that the share i hold that's worth 340
dollars is soon going to be worth 420 nice so
a lot of people were like whoa i need to buy shares before that transaction
happens because i as long as i buy those shares while they're worth less than 420
bucks i'm gonna profit but then once he tweets it
the shares go up and then it's too late so
if he makes a tweet like that he has to
there's the uh the sec which is the what do they call it the securities financial
the the the federal communications what what fcc no the sec this is securities
exchange commission commission council
try them for it so you're allowed to say that you're
going to do that as long as it's true if he if he actually does have a backer
that was actually gonna follow through they've they've been in talks there's
someone who has the money to do this he's allowed to share that information
with shareholders he's even allowed to tweet about it as long as he tells the
shareholders beforehand right as long as that's all true because if
it's not true then obviously every other week elon could be like uh yeah
someone's gonna buy it for about uh six million dollars a share and then the
share goes and then the stock price and at that point he's just manipulating the
markets yeah so after you tweeted that now there's an investigation
into whether or not it's true and you can tell from the stock price
right now that there's not a lot of confidence
that it is true because when you first made the tweet we went with 340
up to about 380 at which point my accounting friends were like dude you
should sell right now if you have tesla because there's no way this is real and
it's just gonna crash and that's exactly what happened it went up to 380 and now
it's back down to 350 because people think he's just bs'ing and you didn't
sell well if i do have tesla stock oh you
can't tell people that you stole that you that you sold it hmm you can't tell
people i think i can tell people it's not gonna come i don't know you're giving me this look like you can't tell
people no you can tell people do you guys want to know i have some tesla stock not a lot it's just because i like
tesla fancy boy oh this is a stock
market guy over here okay here's the thing i hated reading all the tech news
about all the my favorite companies and they're doing cool things and the
stock price is going up and you're just not a part of it right so it makes everything's more fun
when you're kind of just a part of it and then you're just you just do stocks
because you feel like you're closer to mr musk
you're kind of you're a role model maybe role model how do you think grimes feels
about that i like grimes i've seen her live i support
partner what i see her life her name is she
changed her name to c like the letter like the light speed of
light constant oh yeah so always a capital
okay um
so do you think well i hope that uh i hope that he that he did let the
shareholders know because if he did isn't that is it how
big of a deal if it if is it going to be if they find out that he did
like screw up it's bad like if he just
did it just willy-nilly yeah it's pretty bad not only is the sharer prize the
stock price will tank to pro to sub 300 for sure
i think you can like it's fraud or something like that like
he might even go to jail elon musk in jail wow
he'd find a way he'd find a way out yeah the boring company just digs him out
okay that's what the boring company is for you're gonna dig me out he started
it he started the boring company because he knew he would pull something like the
tunnel's gonna go from my cell underwater to a floating autonomous
barge well i i'll launch on a falcon heavy to mars
they'll never catch me he'll go from the real life iron man to like the real life
super villain i don't know what's what's the super villain version of iron man
lex luthor yeah there you go he'll be losing his hair that picture
all right so do you think he's he's not a dummy he knows finance and
stuff we may be witnessing the birth of the first real life super villain that
would be so fitting because everyone thought he's kind of like a superhero so
he'd be like this fallen angel type oh my gosh
oh buy stock now before well he does
seem pretty unstable on twitter sometimes this is not what this podcast
is about he called that guy a pervy guy a pedo dude that guy in thailand that
that was the first time that like keep your comments to yourself pedo dude i
was like elon what are you doing yeah i felt like
like a padme he was breaking my heart
elon what stop you're breaking my heart
from my point of view the sec is evil
i killed them bezos
yeah amazon's involved now uh i really wish i think in the future we can use
blockchain technology to invest not only in companies but in people sorry
somebody just put in the chat you were the chosen one yeah nice one okay sorry
what if you can invest in people that'd be so dope like if everyone had their own crypto
like coins invest in people yeah like so okay so elon
elon gets with grimes right he starts dating grimes yeah people are like whoa
grimes value is about to go up like she's trending i buy grimes coin
and then like grimes is super popular because she's now by proxy's soup like
more famous than she was she gets like record deals and tv deals so she's worth
more money so their coin goes up and i own that gram coin
i don't want to live in that world you're saying you wouldn't buy james coin
no i'd buy james coin because i laser coin i believe in you thank you yeah all
right but i don't want to what would you call your coin
putting you on the spot here compute compute
riley bucks good one
i'm not good with the with the puns as i've just uh discovered after being here
for some time what's this rom thing ooh roms ooh
i know about those yeah pull it up i'm gonna put up the forum thing oh didn't
they do something like this and brought black mirror they did with the the do
you watch blackmail i've seen every episode i love the one where um it's
bryce dallas howard and she's that's the
uh where you rate your friends on social media oh episode one of season three
yeah that's big well is that season four are there four scenes i think that's the
first one that was on netflix season three three that's a pretty good episode
there's no investing in people in that but you do like kind of you have ratings
and you go up and down and stuff yeah thank you to technicolor for posting
this to the forum oh what the roms yeah i don't where is it i'm seeing roms
are rom's over is it a rom apocalypse
hmm she's
i was a pun i don't know what you're talking about yet uh so do you guys know
what roms are
uh do you uh so roms are basically like the game file for uh games when you run
in an emulator so if you're running like a gamecube or a wii emulator on your pc
the rom is what you need to load in there so you can play the game there are
all sorts of rom sites on the web
and they're in kind of like a
oh that was a bad analogy to make but they're under fire okay all right so
nintendo just recently filed lawsuits against two huge emulator sites love
retro and love roms we reported on this in TechLinked
um they sued them for 150
per game 150 000 per game per game oh and two million
dollars per trademark oh so like every
so you like two million dollars for zelda no smash bros counts as one covers
all of them yeah no it doesn't that's the thing so
like just a massive amount of money we're talking here to like independently
run websites by people who are just trying to like keep these games alive right
like you download them for free i they get ad probably revenue from like
hosting them and stuff but they're making money for sure yeah they're making money on this site but like
you know they're not making money on the games per se but anyways so you please
tell me that like it's one thing to smash these people into oblivion
and offer an alternative yeah but if you don't it's like when they're yelling at
people for torrenting game of thrones but then there's no nice way to watch
game of thrones hbo yeah there wasn't exactly for a while so you're about to
tell me that nintendo has an awesome store of classics or something like that
well that's the thing they haven't launched the virtual for so for a lot of
their consoles in the past they launch a virtual console and you can just go on
there like for the wii u or the gamecuber one
they didn't have it for the gamecube but for the wii u you go or the wii you go
on there and then you go to the virtual console and you can download all of
these old games and play old retro games on your current console but they haven't
launched that for the switch yet and there's a ton of things that aren't on the virtual console so
that's what these rom sites uh that's the that's the service they provide so
the big news here is that another site emu paradise
paradise for emulators not for emu's the bird okay that would be silly yeah they
just uh stopped they said they're gonna stop hosting roms so i guess maybe
they'll still have stuff about ambulation i don't know i don't know whether they're still like continuing to
go with just without realms or not but they're stopping hosting robs because i
mean they didn't say specifically that they're doing it because of these lawsuits but the implications shoot into
oblivion the implication is that they want to avoid a similar fate so
um and apparently they were one of the few places on the internet that were not
plagued by pop-ups and glitches and all this stuff because you can go and get roms on the
internet but you know we can't have nice things there's no guarantee that the the site
that you're gonna go to isn't just like a trap and it's just like loading malware and stuff nothing gold can stay
didn't i read that the virtual console on the switch is gonna
cost money you read that i think i read that i
haven't seen that i scrolled past that headline oh i think it's gonna cost money
well i mean you buy the games okay i don't i didn't have a wii or wii u my
parents had a wii i actually would rather it was a subscription than buying
the games i think hey put us in put in the chat do you know if do you have to
pay in previous consoles to access the virtual console i'm pretty sure you can
you have to buy the games on the virtual console okay in order to play them so
that's because with old games i'd rather just try them all i'd rather a
subscription option because like some of them might suck and
want to play for like 20 minutes like the old games on the virtual like just
old super nintendo games and stuff yeah see for me i'm not like
i didn't the first the first console i had was an n64 so i played very little
of uh the nes and snes
sns snazz yeah see now this is the thing
they don't have the virtual console but they have the nes mini and the nes classic edition
or whatever snes classic edition so are
they going to release like the n64
classic edition probably and so on and so on i want a tiny tiny gamecube
the miniest of discs would that be okay though you know because i don't want to
buy that
why okay if they released an n64 uh mini
and it was like a little and i wanted to play n64 games yeah i
would buy it but like most of the time
i feel like a lot of people are running things you know they want to have it up there for as like a backup
or because it's not available on other
services so like what about old like what about wii games that you can't play
on switch right now you know like
i don't know i think nintendo should have
before they do this kind of stuff they should have some sort of service
yeah yeah well
i think if they if they crush these sites before the product launch then
their product launch is more compelling so oh this is a good this is a good uh
what's his name zr gaming just said in the chat i forgot to mention this the
nes mini the classic editions that they launched uh actually
like they took some of them apart and one of them was actually running like
hacked roms whatever it takes like it was like the
nintendo model and it was like running an emulator and roms
just like so it's a little hypocritical nintendo huh
okay so get your get your stuff straight
let's go home what is that it yeah
one more thing i wanted to say is is RAM emulation morally good
morally is is objective morality a physical truth
a physical truth well i found the morality here there bam
well got it what what and that's it there's no many more
there's no more topics that's it that's all thanks for tuning
