yeah and welcome to the W show we uh
have a great great topic for you guys
today yes and a bunch of crap oh we have
one great topic do we have a lot of great topics I haven't looked at the doc so I have no idea what the topics are
today it's going to be a wonderful show it will be a wonderful show I'm looking
forward news yes leaked specs for an
upcoming AMD graphics card is it Vega
no no it isn't um we have Intel news
yeah we have more AMD news more ryzen news I mean would it be the wo without
weekly risen news I I I made that joke in the fake pre-roll thing that I filmed
being like it's 2017 and it's the W show therefore AMD news and also RGB news yes
my friends behind me on my other side we've got RGB
workstations all of our editors are going they're upgrading for 2017 and you
know having more colors in the computer helps with color correction 10 core
processors double the memory better graphics cards
ddr4 RGB and tempered glass oh jeez
tempered glass my friend uh what else we
got here oh Intel rumors too we have we
have rumors from everybody um but we'll tell you more about that later
first the pre-recorded intro
what wow Colton isn't job anymore does he even
have a job here anymore no well not now you just screwed that up yeah actually
you know what do you want to fire him or should I C you're fired wow that's uh I
mean you were you were so quick on the trigger there you couldn't even you
couldn't even like respond to me that
you wanted to be the one to fire him you were just going straight for the fire
but I still need you to do stuff so if you could like show up on Monday
yeah that would be great thanks that
would be SW that would be really good um
so yeah we actually actually you know what there is legitimately a lot of
interesting news this week so I guess speaking of people who don't have to be
fired James as well um yeah big big
leaks make it in big leaks big leaks oh
big leag leaks Big League leaks big leak
be the most annoying name for I'm going to like start gleeking if I say say that
long enough remember gleeking I remember the kids in my high school that would
like they'd run around and be like and they'd like so weird and I'm
just like wow like I have spit on me but
you're the one you're the one who should feel gross
yeah AMD radon RX 500 series official
presentation allegedly leaked gaming
benchmarks and specs allegedly confirmed
and the source here is uh well the article we have is wccf Tech but I we
should just start calling them Tech don't you get a kick out of like uh
websites that exist based on leaking
confidential information from other websites that are like we better
Watermark these images yeah so that other websites don't don't steal this
content legitimately like and the my favorite
part too fry me a river is when someone will steal like content like like say
this was an accidental launch like what Happ I'm not going to call out the
website name but what like what happened around the 1080 TI sure like where they
screw up the time zones and they accident oh no and then they pull their
own article down but someone else has cashed it so they take the images steal
those images and then Watermark them
themselves that's how you get Jack
that is how you get jacked all right speaking of jacked
according to the rumors Polaris uh is
it's going to be called okay I have to make sure that I am only saying things
that are in the leak so uh they're calling it Polaris refresh and uh
suggesting that it's going to be kind of Polaris but jacked so they're showcasing
specifications gaming performance and it looks like the series will be uh
utilizing a a refreshed sort of cooling system and power configuration all cards
except the radon rx550 will use dual fan
cooling solutions as standard
um AMD the the alleged leak of the
alleged slides alleges that AMD also
will be offering higher stable operation underload higher frequency stable
operation underload with better overclocking and that they will
allegedly be available on April
18th so there you have it now you know
what allegedly may or may not be true so
here are some alleged slides um so this
if true for the RX 580 so this would be
AMD's Flagship until Vega because as
much as I would love to be talking about Vega right now I'm not
so 8 GS of RAM I guess it looks looks
like maybe that would be standard I'm I'm actually not sure oh
no allegedly rx580 will have both eight
and 4 gig variants okay so that's that's same as before then so yeah okay and it
will outperform the R9 38x which is good I
guess where's the zero I don't like when
they don't label graphs cuz like you see you see the like chunk difference this
is zero I think we're good yeah I think we're good we're good cuz 50 versus 69
okay that's fair at 69 always wins yep
uh so here's an RX whatever that's supposed to be wow yeah great slide good
job you know if you're going to leak and steal slides you might as well take a
better photo yeah get on it okay and uh
take responsibility for your photo quality man you know here's the thing
how are you expecting not to get CAU like aren't they going to just like look
back and be like who was sitting there yeah at this time yeah I was even
thinking cuz like you don't want to do phone confiscation at these events cuz
that's sketchy you never want to give your phone away yeah so maybe they should give like people little boxes and
they like have to put the phone in the box and it's on like a timed release and
it could be like a cool souvenir box yeah like it could it could like make oh
it could be a music box so no one could open it cuz it'd be
like
that would be so awesome decorative
commemorative music boxes for their events
okay that idea is is W show wow like
like copyright okay which means you can use it we just want how much do we ask
we usually say 10% we say 10% so we want
10 % of the money you'll make on giving away boxes to journalists at
events yeah which isn't to say that we're going to pay you yeah 10% of the
cost yeah we don't we don't do that part that's what that sounds like but that's not what's going on yes um so there's a
so all right so the 570 is apparently much faster than a 370 which is also
fortunate because it's sort of been a while yes um 5 560 is apparently much
faster than a 360 and a 750 Ti like I we
we both do same why are we comparing to the 750 Ti I think the reason why they do this
where they jump back a couple Generations is cuz that's the upgrade
cycle I get it but like that's just step
into radon RX with a 550 how much is
this going to cost uh doesn't say 4K
home theater PC ready you know that it is not a gaming card when they start
talking about the home theater and photo
oh boy and Photoshop and Adobe Premiere with that said like from uh my testing
having just like a graphics card is
legitimately way better and then stepping up to higher end graphics cards
legitimately doesn't make much of a difference my like housemate person does
photo editing stuff and like has to have a GPU y not even super important which
one it is just has to have a GPU got to have a GPU yeah so here they're
comparing to Intel HD 530 graphics and the Radeon
r7250 and I mean that it's it's not much
of a competition so there's that I me you know I'd be wondering if this card
so I don't know pricing uh there's no leaked pricing here but I would be
wondering if this card could Merit a
revisiting of low-end graphics cards do
they suck oh my God that would actually
be kind of cool cuz we've made okay we've made two of these lonus hosted one of them I hosted another one we both
agree by the way yes very much so and they pointless I was just addressing
comments on his video to be completely honest and doing it with an a newer card
I that's probably the closest thing to a mean comments video that we've ever
done yeah pretty close yeah like addressing mean comments except instead
of most people just like reading it and then looking sad at the camera we were
like Get
Wrecked here's why you're wrong and here are four more reasons why you're wrong
also here's me putting them like this so yeah so maybe we do mean
comments videos a little bit differently all right speaking of mean
comments uh yeah that's actually a pretty good idea yeah it's probably it's
probably worth revisiting if it's any good yeah o
aholic has ryzen 5 the 1600 X breaking
lay records at 5.9 GHz on the Crosshair
6 hero motherboard this is the same motherboard
like people are upset at me for using in our video because whatever people oh
people can get upset about anything so there's a CPU at the bottom of a
Frozen doad and you know it's extreme overclocking I I know it's called a pot
um it's extreme overclocking so there's like six people watching who are
interested and for everyone else we'll move on pretty quickly here don't worry
but um German overclocker Roman hardung
I mean I'm sure it's pronounced differently than that in German but uh pushed it to 5.9 using some gskill ddr4
memory set to work at ddr4 3000 cost 12 bus speed of 130 MHz liquid
nitrogen all cores and threads were enabled and he ran cine
bench um GPU Pi GPU pi and geek bench in these
four benchmarks he achieved Global firsts overtaking all Intel hex core
processors none of which matters because you know it's funny I
think everyone has gone through this maybe I mean you might be about to make
me feel stupid which I wouldn't like um but I'm going to put myself out there
anyway cuz I'm all about putting out um
okay didn't we did we all go through a
time when we first heard of liquid nitrogen overclocking where we went I'm
going to have a liquid nitrogen cool computer one day and we start
researching it no I literally looked at
it and was like that's really stupid cuz that's going to be a
consumable how old were you not that
old maybe grade seven at the
max so I thought that there might be some way to
like use it it like phase change it and
like I don't know maybe you would pressurize it back down into a liquid
and then you would something something okay so maybe but then at that point my
brain would have gone way too expensive
and I would never do that yeah so anyway and like super volatile anyway liquid
nitrogen is irrelevant the most you can do for actual 247 operation and even
This is Not Practical is phase change so
we're talking like minus 40 or so real like really loud and
really big noxious and it's bulky and
it's basically like this guy and would
you invite this guy into your computer room maybe maybe they would how's it
going I'd like to check out your computer room may I
enter straw pole 99% yes one
troll that sounds very much like the old uh LT intro yeah it's not that far
off the porn intro terrible
um what else do we have today I mean do we do we even have topics oh yeah
actually this is pretty cool so the
rumors that were circulating that Intel
was slashing prices on their CPUs in
advance of AMD's ryzen 7 launch those turned out to be more to do with
Microcenter being Microcenter and selling Intel processors
at a loss for no apparent reason
I nor anyone outside of Microcenter seems to have able been able to crack
the the mystery as to how they're able to sell CPUs at like 50 plus dollars
below cost and still be in business all these years later
um but if you thought for a second that
Intel wasn't going to respond in any way
then you were definitely wrong or at least rumored wrong we actually don't
have confirmation on this one way or the other so I can kind of say whatever I
want right now Intel's Skylake X so this is from techspot.com and kbl Lake X
processors rumored to arrive earlier than initially anticipated so this is a
clear direct response to ryzen 7 because
both Sky Lake X and kbl Lake X are the
legging behind um sort of enter surprise Zeon
version that then gets adapted into this
this Middle Ground so at the entry level you've got
115x 1156 1155 1150 1151 is that all of
them can they just change the socket count the pin count to something other
than 115 something yes it's rather annoying at this point I feel like
they're just toying with me they're just trying to make it hard to
remember so that's at the low end and the and the mid-range and sort of
5556 I think you got it okay yeah awesome so there's that then at the very
high end there's your LGA 20113 or 2011 and the previously 1366
and I think there was a there was actually 25 something can't remember
there there's there's a different one there's like a and there's like nights landing and stuff I forget how many pins
that bloody thing has it's a huge anyway
so that's your server right there then they take those same server
architecture chips those same those same designs and they kind of trickle them
down into the the pro suer workstation
like professional is and also very very
high-end Enthusiast and that's going to be your 20113 based on your x99 chipset
or like your your X something 999
chipset so what's happened is that for
the last I don't know how long's it been 5 years ever since I think lynfield so
lynfield launched after Bloomfield if I
recall correctly I feel like it's been launch so the Enthusiast platform got
the high end back in the 1366 days so
this was um yeah got the high-end first I believe
and then lynfield 1156 came later you
thought it was five years since lynfield yeah when was Linfield eight oh
crap why am I so old okay but lynfield
came after Bloomfield right let's hope
anyway so I'm going to tell the story My Way regardless so then what happened
after that was we went from the Enthusiast platform getting the new
architecture first cuz lynfield was basically Bloomfield but like crappier
um because it was like dual cores and stuff and then we went from well okay
they did have a quad okay look the point is don't stress about it we went from
the Enthusiast getting the update first and then the mainstream getting it to
the main stream getting the new architecture first and then Enthusiast
getting it later because we were waiting for the Enterprise to adopt it and then
we were waiting for that to to trickle down to the the highend and like the the
workstation and the Enthusiast market so was it right did I have it uh yeah okay
also there was 5,000 people sitting on the twitch from that uh little thing we
did but anyways um so sorry to all of
those people who are there and we are um
recording this actually the next day
um so anyway so what it so what happened
then was you would get mainstream
processors that benefited from the even if it's just five or or 10% Improvement
in IPC you'd get mainstream processors that seriously
outperformed much more expensive ones
that were supposedly workstation or that were Enthusiast class and that has
remained true basically since that time
so what this article means finally full
circle back to this article where the rumor is that both Sky Lake X so that's
the bigger Sky lake with more course and KB Lake X the fact that both of these
are apparently on an accelerated timetable means that it looks like Intel
is trying to kind of get caught up so they're not fighting ryzen 7
with not even current generation chips
because the normal Cadence would have Intel launching a a followup to K Lake
in June at computex and then launching
what would finally then be uh Sky Lake e
months later at around the packs time frame no no which is super weird so now
Sky l x is moving mov up from sometime
in Q3 to June so that's around computex
time frame and will apparently include six and 10 core CPUs support for Quad
Channel ddr4 2667 uh memory and
44 PCI E
Lanes um I am a little confused
about the what this particular hold on a
second um so we're going to get an x299
chipset to accompany that apparently and I don't understand um
what part what what these kbl Lake X
notes mean so a KB Lake X apparently
is also going to be on the 2066 socket
but with just four cores dual Channel memory and far fewer PCI elanes well
then why would you put it on that socket instead of just putting it on an
11 um my only guess for that I would be
if you want a box with huge amounts of RAM and don't actually care about
compute speed yeah but if you only have two channels you wouldn't be able to do
that oh is it actually so what does this even what does this even
mean two channels yeah huh this like the old only
benefit of the higher-end platform is more cores more PCI lanes and more
memory channels so if you took all that stuff off then you'd be
dumb um well I don't know it's a rumor
so the fact that it makes no sense
whatsoever um might be fine in might be fine and apparently they'll lack an
integrated GPU so that's one difference but uh stay tuned so there's
that okay so here's another rumor this one I
hadn't even heard of new Intel KB Lake G KB lake g g
Edition uh the original article here is from Tech PowerUp what G you know like
cuz that's what isn't that what rappers do they like hug themselves yeah just
like you know
yo oh jez um so rumored Intel kbl Lake G
Series modular
multi- hbm2 and this is a big question mark
here and you can't see it CU it's cut off AMD Graphics intellectual property
whoa can you imagine that can you
imagine an Intel CPU with AMD graphics
on board okay if this happens we have to make a system with this processor and an
NVIDIA graphics card just for pure laws
yeah so we could have all three married
for the first time ever since I did my Intel CPU SLI and Crossfire system that
thing was epic that thing was stupid epic so stupid hey you should go back to
that and use um
unraid to have an SLI and Crossfire
system properly running both on the same box no SLI or Crossfire in
virtualization yet but if they get it working that would be sick I guarantee
you it will happen cuz then you could be like Optimal situation for whichever
game you want to run I actually have a new unraid plan one that I don't think
you've heard about yet um we'll get back to KB lake g in a minute talking about
it on it's all good yeah actually no I'll tell you about it after KB Lake G
um it it I think you're going to like it I think you're going to be like yeah that's pretty cool so KB Lake G uh the
company has already played with such a design before with its Clarkdale family
of processors uh so this would be like a heterogeneous modular approach to the
CPU that allows them to integrate external graphic Solutions like that
could be produced in other factories and they could just like fit them on the
package so instead of having it on die so uh back to back to Clarkdale if I
recall correctly had the CPU cores and
then like the igpu and they were both on the same package but they didn't share a
die so they didn't have to be actually manufacture at the same time so this
would allow them to put them together on the package and potentially like mix and
match them so they could save die space on their 10 nanometer dies for actual
cores increase yields and
uh potentially you know work with a
potential partner like AMD on putting
very different Graphics technology on the package with the
CPU now one of the things that's been
speculated and I I'm not the only one who has who has brought this up is that
this is part of the Reas that AMD split into AMD and Radeon Technology
Group okay because if Intel had to put
AMD Radeon graphics on their box that
would be a big no no but if they do radon technology if it was Radeon
Technologies Group um then it's probably
fine Graphics I think that might be quite a bit more palatable yeah and then
Ron Technology Group Graphics which is also work with AMD that's right which is
fine which is fine yeah and it could be owned by AMD but like there's there's so
much of that where like the the distinction between um you know Lexus
and Toyota is is purely in name but that
doesn't change that there's a consumer perception and that other brands have to
be aware of a different consumer perception that's towards radon
Technologies Group and AMD right
interesting yeah um so anyway back to that unraid project um um I'm planning
to do the the like the best streaming PC
and you know how every streamer that's worth their salt is running two boxes
right rude uh yes it's it it goes back
and forth a little bit but a lot of the like bigger time ones do yep because
it's just it's more flexible in a lot of ways yes it increases cost but by the
time you've got you know a box and you upgrade your machine you kind of go oh
well that now that's my streaming box I can see how it's a natural upgrade path
that many streamers would go through as they grow their following and are
starting to invest more into what they're doing so I think with
virtualization I could run my two boxes in one
box okay with enough processing course that I could do x264 CPU software
encoding on one of them with a separate monitor keyboard mouse like battle
station command station style and
without giving up gaming performance on the main gaming box that'd be pretty
cool so that's the goal uh have you thought about a Hackintosh and Windows
PC in one PC built um yes but it's uh it's a
sensitive topic you know working with
unraid around Hackintosh where they're like oh we don't want to touch that with
a 10-ft pole so they're not going to support me on it and
um yeah it's it's a it's such a gray area I mean it's not even gray it's
illegal is it yeah cuz you have not paid
for the software because the software is provided with the purchase of a
Macintosh but you used to be able to buy the software you I don't believe you can
anymore okay but you used to be able to then I think it was more gray okay yeah
that makes sense um actually speaking of Apple news we've got something that we
missed last week and we will get to that as soon as we are done with our sponsor
Spa I fix it I fix it you fix it I'm making
a new jingle for I fix it no one knows
what's going on we're going to do a
shanty song and maybe we'll go a little
faster now talking about I fix them I'm sorry for subjecting everyone to that
I'm gonna go get a k but thank you that was fun so I fix it is your One-Stop
shop for DIY electronics repair they've
got over 19,000 free step-by-step repair guides
and a huge inventory of replacement parts and tools with lifetime warranty
and they've got many many different products this one is our personal
favorite this is the Protech toolkit it's got 64 different bits it's got an
electrostat electrostatic um it's got an
ESD strap it's got um you know spudgers
and pokers and prying tools and guitar picks and ESD safe tweezers and the
butter knife and it's got all this great stuff and I'm not I'm not going to say
that that you can do this I'm not going to say it's approved to do this or any
of that kind of stuff but now twice this
exact kit well okay this exact type of Kit one with pella's name on it one with
my name on it don't do it I know no no
we can't advertise that as a feature it's pretty cool because all the tools
are under the restricted length
which is the thing took this through the airport yep I mean here give give me
this I didn't even get through the airport with my screwdriver once yeah
was it too long though look at this thing yeah I
mean they really didn't like this one
even though it's not sharp even though it's not sharp you guys can see that U
because it looks like a little teeny knife so what I did was I was like what
could I see it for a second asked Polly stuff the guy handed it to me and I was
like it's fine and like started stabbing
myself with it and I was like it's not a knife it's for getting between
components and then started like just talking way too much about like computer
repair and like what all the different things do and stuff and then they just
like shut up go away a little bit and like they didn't like these either cuz
they're basically little Spears those are that that's dangerous yeah um so
they took them away and they brought them to like a measuring device and
stuff and they were under a certain length and if they're under certain
length it then becomes instead of it being a hard and fast rule it becomes
discretion of the agents and they were like okay I think
you're good just like don't do anything with it and don't
like pull it out on the plane and I was like 100% yeah unless United's trying to
drag you off the plane then maybe you could defend yourself a little bit with
it get away from me um oh jeez so
meanwhile they've they've confiscated like four of my Spyderco ladybugs which
are like this big yeah yeah of course
brilliant freaking brilliant um anyway that that was a very
long not an official thing but it's it's happened at all it's happened twice not
even a thing no no uh but basically um
yeah you can go buy an iix IT kit today
and not travel on the plane with it put it in your checked and if you use offer
code wow at ifixit.com SL Linus then you can save five bucks on
a purchase of $10 or
more terrible speaking of things that are not
terrible fresh books fresh books is super easy to use it's the invoicing and
accounting tool that lets Freelancers and small business owners stay organized
manage their time better and well ultimately make more money because when
you spend your time working on a client's job whether it's a computer or
painting a house or or Plumbing or electrical work or whatever whatever
building bird feeders who cares whatever it is that you do when you spend your
time on that instead of mucking around with accounting software you're going to
be happier your clients are going to be happier your business is going to grow
and that is what life is all about because capitalism and you can possibly
even get more clients because they'll spend less time around on computer software exactly you can scale
better and your life gets to be less stressful because when you don't have
people breathing down your neck about why something isn't done or you know
where your where your bill is or whatever not that anyone breathes down
your neck about where the bill is where your bill is but you don't have to spend
time breathing down their necks because they have a system built in where you
can check and see if they've opened it or not yeah you can send your invoice in
like 30 seconds and then you actually can know if they looked at it yeah and
they'll be like oh yeah so sorry I know I haven't paid for little Sally's dance
classes but uh I didn't see it can you send me another copy no I will not send
you another copy you got it you saw it
pay up and that's the freshbooks way
yeah Sally's mom so visit freshbooks.com when and get a free trial today for so
where you can where you can try it and then uh enter W show in the how you
heard about s section they also have a Mobile card reader so you can even take
payment directly through fresh books nice uh um what else do we got here
oh this is like I read the future read
the future read the past I participated in the past and influenced the
future um apparently Microsoft seems to
think that variable refresh rate is
coming to a TV near
you so this would be uh technology like
gsync and freesync so the idea being that well okay you
guys probably know what variable refresh rate is but basically project Scorpio apparently
supports freesync with Microsoft working with TV manufacturers to try and push
them to support it as well the latest HDMI 2.1 specification also supports
variable refresh rate so there you have it Apple
announces a completely rethought Mac Pro
uh there are some great quotes in here uh I don't actually have that in uh in
my notes here but man there's like some great quotes it so it didn't work out
the the expansion didn't work out as well as we thought it would didn't they
never expand well no you could expand using
Thunderbolt too Oh I thought you meant like expansion of the yeah okay never
mind and I was just like really you thought it would work out
like immediately like nobody had Apple clued into this but like immediately
remember that picture that someone posted of 36 Thunderbolt devices plugged
into a Mac Pro was like really you
thought this was a good idea why how and they're like yeah it
was hard to upgrade it was hard to keep it honestly I don't think it was that
hard to keep it current I think what was
hard was justifying the expense of
re-engineering the motherboard for newer standards re-engineering the uh gpus for
newer products and justifying that cost
based on how few of the things you were selling that's what happened especially
when you could just make a tower which is what everyone wants anyways Apple's complaining about thermal constraints no
they mean refreshing that product no I know but like like if you someone posted
a picture comparing the Old Tower systems to the trash can systems and
there's the objectively better trash can systems selling for the same amount as
the old Tower systems oh like on eBay and stuff yeah because people just want
the old Power Systems anyway but Apple's complaining they couldn't refresh it
because of thermal constraints and I'm looking at that going gpus have gotten
way more efficient so there's that so CPUs and CPUs well at that class Zeon
class okay they're the same yeah cuz you could go up to whatever was the highest
end like I think it was 8 core back then that was a big deal um yeah there no no
no no this had every everything to do with not wanting to reinvest back into
it um but either way basically Phil
Schiller said Apple wants to architect it so we can keep it fresh with regular
improvements creating a Mac Pro modular system they're also apparently making a
high-end dis I think it's called PCI
Express they're also making a high-end display to go with it I will be happy to
see a return to Apple displays cuz they've done a great job of that
um although there's way more competition now that's true like way more and
honestly this is like apple pulling down their pants and taking a big dump on
Partners like LG who have worked on exclusive like mac only products like
the 5K ultra fine which by the way is fixed now I don't know if you were on
the W show where we heard about putting a router too close to it glitching it
out yeah yeah they're fixed now I don't if I was I don't know if I was on that W
show but I heard about yeah our unit is fixed that's that's good um oh yeah
video to come very soon uh you see anything this year but in the meantime
they're actually releasing a slightly upgraded Mac Pro so the
$3,000 quad core with dual firepro d300s
has morphed into a six core with dual d500s still $3,000 uh both models have
16 gigs of RAM neither has USB type-c or Thunderbolt 3 16 gigs of RAM so this was
basically a price drop on like some preexisting some existing
Tech flow plane right do you want to cover a topic while I get while I get it
fired up so we can show you guys some of the crazy stuff on Flo plane right now
it's crazy W should I should I cover the video that's coming out tomorrow um or
just wait for that video to happen let's wait for that video to happen there's
going to be a big Floatplane related video um
tomorrow or not or not tomorrow we're
getting a look from Ed it's filmed oh okay yeah yeah I don't
I don't know um it doesn't happen it's cool do you want to do something else
then while I uh uh yeah so scrapyard
Wars prison Edition not really an actual thing don't worry about that what are
you talking um inmates in Ohio were in
this system where they were disassembling it it was like a a a work
system within the prison I don't know what they're properly called but the the
idea was that they would disassemble PCS as like a job and inmates in the Ohio
prison built computers from the PCS that they were supposed to be dismantling for
recycling the unsupervised inmates later hid these PCS in the ceiling of a
training room and it's I don't think it's actually uh in here but they
networked them together investigators found software
pornography and articles about making drugs and explosives on the machines
they were caught when it staff flagged unusual levels of internet activity on a
contractor's account which
like that's sort of epic
they built computers into the ceiling a rogue PC on the network was connected to
port 16
wow um
wow okay so they don't they don't do
white listing they don't do any that kind of stuff he just he just plugged it
in one of the inmates who set it up described how he had used components
from other people PCS he plugged the machine into an internet connection
device in the prison and Bam I'm on the network he told
investigators bam indeed that that it
guys just like oh bam where was this
that's one thing I'm interested in where was this switch I don't know that he just plugged
into I don't know man here here's all
the components for some computers and apparently like cables and stuff we're
going to supervise you and leave exposed switches brilliant freaking brilliant um
so I'm ready to talk about what's on float playing this week uh Channel super
fun go cing Burl with drunk goggles oh
jeez versus Dennis with not drunk goggles wow I sort of still think Burl
might win Burl's ridiculously good at go-karts and like specifically that
track he's done a lot so like the fact that he has drunk goggles still up but
did you win they're gonna have to wait no no yeah yeah no spoilers but I did
almost throw up like had the dry he he almost threw up and he was dry heing
that's worth watching it right there but it's but it's all in the name of your
craft right yeah it's all in the name of fun all in the name of fun uh we've got
a Techquickie on laser projectors how
the math those work we've got the much
anticipated red weapon unboxing that has already generated um
167 replies wow which on Floatplane is
like actually a lot check out that speed
did you see how fast that started playing I did I oh okay good oh God I
get so much anxiety every single time
you do anything with flow plane on the stream it looks good and it's working
though yeah looks looks crisp AF man see
see these buffer chunks coming in y that is how it works uh do you have the load
balance stuff going on right now or no no I don't think so okay cool well
anyway look at that look at that look at that scrubbing working use a saw isn't
that beautiful is that a saw well that's
awesome I don't know man I'm just I'm just I got I got to be me
man um do it for the memes yeah it's all
for the memes so you opened up a red weapon with a weapon oh my God that's
right I get it so red weapon uh the ryzen 5 review was simultaneous release
because of the Embargo uh um MSI gt83 VR
Titan laptop uh we've got uh warranty
sticker removal guide just went up oh yeah oh oh this honest answer is what's
up with the thumbnails that is a really how many replies are on that one uh lot
251 yeah this one actually I think is getting pushed another week due to the
ryzen 5 embargo so that's going to be on floow plane for that'll be on FL that's
a really good video um and then the last one that I'm super stoked on our
smallest most compact desk PC yet so
that's actually really really small we need like a pop can for scale or
something like banana banana for scale Absol
B um so yeah Floatplane Floatplane Club is going great in case you guys
were wondering and there's going to be a huge update on the LTT Channel and I
guess we'll also upload it to Floatplane soon T um soon TM yeah all right
hoping tomorrow but it might not happen I don't know the original article
appears from n Gadget this is terrible Uber Uber's hell program
tracked and targeted lift drivers
apparently it ran for two years two
years they called it hell so they placed
fake LIF Rider accounts around cities in order to map the distribution of lift
drivers as each Rider can see up to
eight nearby drivers monitor monitoring the lift driver habits Uber noticed that
some drivers were double apping driving for lift and Uber so I actually got
picked up by an Uber driver that had a lift sticker on the back of his car Uber
then sent more rides and offered incentives to those drivers to keep them
too busy to drive for Lift wow uh the
program was discontinued after Uber paid tens of millions per week in bonuses
oh my goodness so basically the idea was
if you signed up for a Lyft account you
just made more money from Uber that's ridiculous unbelievable and they're kind
of uh Nintendo this is um the
original article is from RS Technica and I love their headline Nintendo hates
money discontinues The Nest classic did we ever get one no so that's it
ridiculously difficult to buy it's officially limited edition now yeah
ignoring continued demand Nintendo will stop producing the system this month
this is probably more to do with Nintendo making far more manufacturing
switches like they might actually maybe they're off the same line like maybe
they're converting the line to produce more switches maybe there is a reason um
but that is kind of a bummer they sold
1.5 million units from its November 11th
launch until New Year's so to put that in perspective Wii U sold 14 million in
its lifetime our representative said that the nest classic wasn't intended to be an ongoing
long-term product however due to high demand we did add extra shipments to our
original plans The Nest Classic Controller will also be
discontinued I feel like it's a wrong move I feel like Nintendo CU like if if
they can sell like I feel like it doesn't matter because it's Nintendo but
I feel like if they can sell another 1.5 million units maybe it's worth like
extending that building a little bit adding another line just DED it to
Classics you know it's not like Nintendo has a lot of products yeah exactly I
mean unless you count like amiibos and like trash like that I mean like actual
Entertainment Systems yeah and the accessories for the entertainment
systems are often built by Third parties ex are officially licensed by Nintendo
exactly so
like um it's Nintendo and they will always succeed it's just it just seems
like a very silly thing to do all right what else we got
here American colleges to offer scholarships to play video games so the
original article here is from Bloomberg hooray and it's making its way
onto my screen slowly but surely um at least it was trying to it's
not trying anymore the growth of Esports has colleges and universities developing
teams to compete as prizes are growing and sponsors are taking notice and I you
know it's uh far be it from universities
and colleges to uh to not notice money
to be made off of students that they don't have to
pay yeah um coaches say that Esports
requires the same discipline and decision-making as other activities and
all those same life skills go into gaming this is a developmental tool some
of the teams practice 20 hours a week on top of studying game film and team
building projects and about 20 to 30 matches or tournaments are played
annually University of Utah is the first school in the power five the five
richest athletic conferences in college sports to offer scholarships for video
gaming the team will start off playing League of Legends University of
California Irving Irvine Irving Irvine
recently built an orts specific Arena on its campus and the Big 10 conference's
television network earlier this year began broadcasting competitions between
Club teams and its member schools interesting W it's really
happening it is really
happening phone accelerometers this was originally uh posted by Tech
crunch oh man researchers demonstrate how pins and other info can be gathered
through phone movement holy so researchers were able to successfully
guess your PIN based on movement of the
phone you know what that's really impressive that's crazy even just the
thought that like hey you notice how people's hands move in similar ways when
they go to type but like that's so they analyzed the data from rotation sensors
gyroscopes and accelerometers and they were able to crack four-digit pins with
70% accuracy on the first try and 100%
accuracy by the fifth try I wonder I
would love to like make a video about this meet these
guys and then find how they're doing it cuz like if if you try to do it
one-handed like yeah that's actually probably pretty easy but if you lay it
down and then use one of those like with the tips on it and lightly press the
buttons is that enough of an impact you know I mean like find where
the line they are sensitive yeah they are like if you ever just like fired it
up so you can see the raw data from the sensors and like moved like they're
they're very sensitive they're really sensitive it' be that would I would find
that very interesting unlike your camera and GPS mobile apps and websites don't
need to ask permission to access information from these sensors so a site
accessed with malicious code via your mobile browser could activate
sensor-based monitoring in the background when browser Tabs are left
open Crazy hey and if you're like me with 50 browser tabs open at any given
moment then on your mobile device this is a yeah seriously I I just don't close
them the unfortunate thing about that is that means that will be me
eventually cuz I held out I do you
remember do you remember desktop browser tabs when we first started working together I couldn't even handle it it
maxed out at like five now who I think I have like before I I just reformatted
but like before that I think I had like eight or nine Windows of Chrome open all
with lots of tabs it's the only way to be man it's
the only way to be yeah and you know what the other only way to be is done
the W show yeah so I think that's pretty much it you guys we'll see you again
next week same bat Time same bat
Channel that's really not song a copywritten thing
no I'm
dead I forgot I I was mentioning you know how we like bring the coach in yeah
it would be way to with the outro us
taking the
co bring the I'll ask if he want to extra
animation that was clear
