damn it it looks like I have a hickey but it's actually just me scratching my
neck right before the show
started and on that uh on that note the show has now started welcome to the W
show oh this is awesome I messaged
Brandon about 10 minutes ago hey can I borrow you for a minute I'm at the W
show set and he pokes his head out the door as I'm recording the pre Show
starting bit deal and thinks that I'm live and goes back away and then I
message him right afterwards when I was done I'm like oh hey I'm ready for you
now it takes him like eight minutes to see it now he comes out I'm actually
live uh Brandon I just wanted you to have a look at the uh color temperature
of this light it looks off it's been on for quite some time is it
adjustable it's like there's like voodoo magic that goes on around here
adjustable color temperatures of Lights he's actually kickstarted some legit
timately color changing lights that are going to be like now you can adjust the
white point you can adjust the color point I'm clearly just stalling for time
while I wait for this uh dock to load up on my screen here but that's okay
because it's here now we've got a lot of great topics for you guys today Luke's
going to be joining me on the show very very shortly he's actually just
finishing up a video right behind me there hi yep he's there see that trust
me it is the actual the actual Luke do I look better now I'm like really bright
now but that's
okay that's fine don't worry about it Brandon it's all good so we got a lot of
great stuff for you guys today AMD's
ryen did I say it right this time ryen
has been detailed it's going to be octacore 2.4 GHz Dynamic overclocking we
will talk more about that for sure
Amazon's first Prime air delivery has
taken place Microsoft is bringing Cortana to fridges toasters thermostats
and Space Marine suits near you and
krych is sinking wages unpaid Talent leaving will
there be another crisis I mean yes but not with a Y so
let's go ahead and roll the intro which has no audio long story couldn't get it
working
do I'm going to use this time to post to
Facebook that we are starting the W
show only audio in the Left Channel yeah
how does that work how do these things change get a CRA in the right
channel who changes these
things um like 12 hold on a second wait what
how how how is this even
possible how is anything
that it doesn't even have the there's like a feature there's a feature in
xplit to to mix them together oh here we
go copy left to right let's try that it was on automatic um I don't know go go
try that go let me know why is life hard
just watch speaking of life being hard
um squar space makes it so that your life is not so hard if that is to say if
your life is making a website on Squarespace also I fix it which again
maybe doesn't make your life easier but does make your life
cheaper um which maybe came across wrong
but uh you you save money so there you
go you save money on your repairs so it's it's like it's harder to do it
yourself but you don't have to pay someone else to do it but it's easier
than if you didn't have the necessary to you know what I give up let's just let's
just cancel wo this week sick no I can't
do it no not because I'm sick no I meant
like no we're not canceling wo I'm back
I'm back all
right non-existent human figures his or
her left ear is now more used than his
or her right ear you know what I I take
no responsibility for any of that Brandon I think it looks fine now thank
you very much for your hard work um except for that bounce card that's what
I was getting oh okay thank you very much yes you may retrieve the bounce
card you know
Brandon and I had a deal we had a deal
when we moved into this Warehouse the deal was
that he would get his very own corner
of this 6,000 square foot space that I
acquired and if I allocated him that
corner I wouldn't have to deal with all of his crap all over the place that was
the deal that Covenant that Covenant
Brandon has been broken by you because he doesn't have his spot yet he okay the
only reason he doesn't have his spot is because it has taken him over a year
to get the set built in it he had a
budget from before we moved in I tried
brand to get that done I did what I could he just didn't get it
done um also oh I have some other things
that we just couldn't get done news for you guys this one's really exciting and
closely related to the audio issues that we had uh shortly before the show
started here so Focus right I don't know
if you're familiar with them but they make um we actually have one of their
dads here and the only reason we're not using it is because we've had issues
with our compressor and the microphone that we've had hooked up to it anyway
Focus right reached out to us and this is kind of funny they reached out about
doing a review of some of their gear and
I kind of went you know what I don't think that it is going to
um carry a lot of credibility in if I
come in and start reviewing like professional audio gear and they're like
oh setup is like pretty good yeah you know what so get out of here you're
you're supposed to be not on the show right now so so they're like oh why is that
and I go well you see we've got this live show and we can never get the uh we
can never get the audio working and it's
taken literally years and they kind of go oh well
we could help you with that and I'm like
well heck yeah so the plan right now is for them to come down here next week and
we are going to share with you guys all in one video everything that we've done
to improve W show over the last little
bit here so the new capture cards you've noticed actually for the last couple of
months we haven't had any capture issues um the new lighting setup that we've got
actually the lights themselves didn't change but it's really really quick to set up now which is pretty freaking cool
um we are completely redoing the Wow
Computer um so course A's giving us their new case and we're going to like
do up the wow PC and finally Focus right
is coming in to they are actually sending
technicians not just gear they were like yeah we can send you all the gear you
want I'm like that's great we have gear
that's really not the problem um so there sending us actual text either one
or two to come and not just set
everything up for us but actually show us how it all works so I'm super duper
excited and it is going to be freaking
awesome and uh with all these
improvements says John d03 why is the show still late well
today the show is late because I had the
brilliant idea of not working on the video I was supposed
to be working on today which is a review of the ASUS G20 which is freaking
awesome so far I mean reviews not out take take this as early Impressions okay
so uh let me let me just bring this um I thought I had the page up already yeah
here it is let's go ahead and screen share here um so this puppy right
here uh so take this as the early Impressions that it is the
g20cb man their name sucks
um but it's really small about 10 L I
think 9 and a half lers um it's got a
core i76700 in it and the model I've got has
a GTX 1080 with 512 gigs of SSD storage
and one terabyte of hard drive based storage and it is
unbelievably quiet for all the performance they have managed to pack in
that tiny little enclosure I'm really really impressed so far anyway so
instead of working on that I was like you know would be cool if I could find a
way to get OS 10 Sierra Running on a
legitimately powerful laptop so I was like I'm going to try and Hackintosh a
laptop today and I ran into a wide
variety of problems everything from Apple's download server uh being so slow
it took me an hour to download s 10
Sierra uh on a gigabit connection so so
there was that yeah there was the um I'm
doing it through unraid I'm actually doing it through a VM yeah because which
might actually be easier for you yes so I found as like step-by-step guide which
is pretty much what I need to do any Hackintosh stuff because I'm not an
experienced Hackintosh the the last time we did a Hackintosh thing I very closely
followed a step-by-step guide and still had problems yeah so um
uh what were some of the other problems I had today I I I oh yes right so the
the the guide was based on creating the Sierra installer on yed I believe or El
Capitan or something like that so the dis utility has changed and then I
wasn't able to create an image doing thing anyway the original image I
created was on a 64 gig USB drive so so
it was a 64 gig image because I'm an
idiot and like it was just it was one of those I'm in a rush so I'm doing things
that are dumb and it's not working very well types of days today those are
always brutal yeah um not that you'd know anything about that
today yep I like if I'm going to be under the
bus I'm pulling you down with me buddy oh that's fair I was trying to do a uh
I'm not going to tell you exactly what it is but I was trying to do a video on a laptop thing that I was doing it
included a laptop and I'm going to go back and keep working on it now but the
brightness was so low that trying to record it with the camera showed like
crazy flickering and then I was like I was the genius who came in and was like
hey why don't we just capture it on a separate device and
then uh yeah it doesn't have an HDMI port so VGA I don't think we have a
single VGA capture device all right so get get back to get back to what you're
doing all right all right all right everybody wants me to talk about AMD
ryzen which is not the same same as the rice in from Breaking Bad in that it
won't kill you um I am going to start with this so
first of all let's go ahead and hk5 was the original poster on the Forum
and the source for the article here was um videoc
cards.com here's a bunch of information
um I'm going to kick off with this that
name is
terrible they might as well have brought back
Duron as far as I'm concerned nobody is going to pronounce
that ryen it's
risen why are you and like why would you
even draw attention to something that
your fans have been in denial of for so
long why would you call the product
risen because let's face it it is not risen it is risen why would you call it
risen that is an admission that you had
fallen somewhere how many people are going to
be disappointed about that anyway from the look of things there's nothing to be
disappointed about spec wise so we've
got um here we go where's the uh
information on this page here we go
so the key info is here eight cores 16
threads 3.4 GHz plus they've done some
comparisons they've done some demos that lead us to believe it is something
similar to Broadwell in terms of the
performance per clock which would make this a very compelling CPU if it comes
in at the right kind of price 20 Megs of
level two level three cache an extended
frequency range so some kind of uh turbo
boost or like GPU boost like technology
that will reward users who are cooling the CPU well um fully automated
apparently with no user intervention required which is pretty cool okay so a
bunch of uh caching
stuff uh temperature speed and voltage monitoring it adaptively controls all of
that stuff in real time for lower power usage so that's cool fine grain
frequency control boost I mean the reality of it is there's not a whole lot
to say about a CPU um other than that like yes it's
fast and it's power efficient so as long as you've got that stuff nailed down
then if the price is right then uh you've got my attention here we go the
am4 platform this on honestly it is more
out ofd than AMD's existing CPUs from a
purely performance standpoint um that that no sorry am4 is not am3 plus was I
mean it was still PCI Express 2.0 for crying out loud
AMD has been building
gpus designed to work best on an Intel
platform for like three four years now
like a long long time so finally AMD is
bringing the platform up to date ddr4 and it looks like we're going to
get four slots there so dual Channel ddr4 by the look of things PCI Express
gen 3 USB 3.1 Gen 2 so 10 GB USB NVMe
SATA Express I guess uh AMD didn't get
the memo when they were working on am4 that SATA Express is completely dead in
the water but that's okay that's okay
they're still not going to have Intel exclusive Technologies like
Thunderbolt but I mean this is um this
is actually almost an entirely separate discussion for
wano does Thunderbolt matter much and you can look
at um you can look at a variety of different
indicators that tell us what industry
leaders think of Thunderbolt so
Apple equipped the latest MacBook Pro
with anywhere from two to on most SKS four Thunderbolt 3
ports but they also did this in a way
that to me indicates that they don't
they were just trying to give their users the the utmost in expandability
and flexibility moving forward in terms of what they can
plug into those ports because they're type-c
ports that support USB 3.1 Gen 2 so
that's 10 gbit Thunderbolt 3 so that's 40 gbit as well as HDMI uh DisplayPort
all that stuff so the idea was just like the ultimate versatility um like
simplifying life for the Mac User just you plug your power you plug your
display you plug anything into this and blah it just works
except for one thing Apple apparently didn't think the
actual Thunder three functionality was
important enough to bother to have their laptop work with any Thunderbolt 3
devices that are on the market I don't know if you guys have
been paying attention to this but go
shop for a Thunderbolt 3 peripheral
that's certified to work on the MacBook Pro you won't find one and the reason
for that and I cover this in my MacBook Pro review which is coming to YouTube I
think sometime next week something like that anyway my MacBook Pro review is
coming but I cover this and all the Thunderbolt 3 devices out there right
now are running a first generation Texas
Instruments chipset for USB power delivery and all that nonsense and apple
specifically locked out any devices
using that first generation chips set from working in OS 10 Sierra on the
MacBook Pro so you can you can boot
Windows you can boot camp into Windows
and you can run a razor core or we've got an aido external drive enclosure
that works just fine you plug it in an OS 10 nothing it doesn't even give you
an error it's not even like oh hey so
we're a bunch of like buttheads and we
decided not to validate for that older controller I suspect there's a reason it
might have to do with the um because it it's a like it's a power management like
it's a power delivery Circuit of some sort like it manage it might have
something to do with the way that the MacBook charges on any of the ports or
something um or it could have something to do with the fact that I believe it
also handles USB connectivity and it only handles uh USB 3.1 gen 1 speeds
like maybe it was like for the most seamless possible experience every
everything that works in this port is is 10 GB USB 3 or I don't know I'm trying
to find a reason for them but maybe Phil Schiller will post somewhere he'll talk
to The Verge and he'll say lonus is an idiot he got it wrong there's a thousand
reasons why this makes perfect sense but it works in Windows and it doesn't even
bother to give you an error message in OS 10 so so what this means what I'm
coming back to is Apple apparently thought it was important enough to put
on their laptop but didn't think it was important enough for there to actually
be any Thunderbolt devices that plug into it for like weeks after the
launch and maybe maybe they weren't wrong
because I was looking I was actually trying to find some Thunderbolt 3 docs
because I wanted to do like a Roundup or something on Amazon and that was when I
realized there was this whole issue because I couldn't find any and what I
realized was 99% of anything I could possibly want to
do on a laptop even highspeed external
storage at 10 gigabit I mean we're talking one Gigabyte per second there's
nothing 8K red footage doesn't require
more than one Gigabyte per second to a nice high performance USB type-c SSD
there's nothing that requires this and why would you want to plug anything into
it that wasn't first party Macintosh anyways really you came on to the show
to contribute that why are you even here
why why even B I'm bringing the hardcore arguments okay so anyway everything else
so there's uh my my dongle that it's not in my bag because I was actually doing
something on the the MacBook just a minute ago but I've got a dongle that
does SD micro SD HDMI three USB 3.0 I
think it's actually sweet and Power in pass through and I'm sitting here going
so that's like all the io that I would have already had on like a laptop that
has IO just like that and I've got and I've got three more yeah plus this
doesn't even have an SD card reader or Ethernet and I've got three oh yeah it
has Ethernet too it's a really cool adapter I'm going to have a video coming anyway and I've got three more that I
can plug in like a type-c to DisplayPort or type-c to another DisplayPort
bam now I've got dual external monitor I've still got one more so what do I
actually need Thunderbolt 3 for
and so I guess Apple kind of had the same thought is like what what is this
actually for what 99 I would even say
five% of users are ever going to plug in
to a MacBook Pro is handled just fine by
USB so bringing it all the way back to
AMD's platform not having support for
Thunderbolt 3 does that matter um
remains to be seen but I would speculate that it will only
affect some very very Niche edge cases
and most people won't care the main one
for me on a laptop is support for an
external GPU because I think that's the future as the price comes down for those
external GPU enclosures I mean alien wees is only a couple hundred bucks and
get less screwed up lot more reasonable and the intercompatibility
gets way better that to me is how people are
going to game in the future um it's just
like we're not there yet so in total yeah you think everyone's going to be on
laptops with external gpus I think to to
make a prediction like everyone will do anything would be shooting myself in the
Foot Right some large percentage someone's going to find this clip yeah
maybe even not a large percent percentage of people for a long time cuz
you got to think about the upgrade cycle right like people aren't going to want
to just throw out a perfectly functional computer and the rate at which CPU
performance is increasing there's a lot of very perfectly functional computers
that are 3 four years old at this point
but I think and especially looking at uh Sky Lake versus KB Lake the performance
increase we're seeing even on the laptop side of things I think people are going
to start to think about in the next two to three years gee this laptop I have is
like still pretty darn good I just wish I could game on it and those are going
to get cheaper and they're going to go this makes a ton of sense and people are
going to start to invest in it and Ed's doing a lot of gaming on his laptop
already MH so it's an interesting and like with with blades being able to play
like pretty much kind of everything y it's an interesting
idea all right so um there you guys have
it risen or Rising you know what I am
stubbornly calling it The tight XP forever I think I'm going to stubbornly
call it risen forever I think I think I'm going to
commit to that so uh you guys let me know in twitch chat if you uh if you if
you hate that but uh I don't think any of you will I think you guys are
probably going to be with me on this one all right what other important
topics do we have today the iPhone 6s
reportedly explodes post charging the
original article here is from yahoo.com that is a super big bummer for
Nick light who just bought my old iPhone 6s off me what a
loser and it's
pink oh I hate that guy
um so what what do we got in here Apple announced that it will be releasing an
iOS update next week that will allow them to better diagnose any battery
issues on December 6th reports of exploding iPhone surfaced in China uh
you know we do have to of course you
know take this with a grain of salt because there have been cases of
exploding iPhones in the past that and
again I'm making up statistics on the spot but it seems to me that well over
half of them have been caused by unauthorized thirdparty Chargers that
were doing a bad job of managing Apple's you know proprietary battery management
algorithm nonsense so let's kind of keep
an eye on this but allegedly the Shanghai consumer Council
has received eight separate reports of iPhones exploding adding that it had
seen a big Ryzen the number of complaints against iPhones in the past
two months uh on Friday an iPhone 6s started
spewing immediately after it was unplugged from charging then went up in Flames I'm assuming smoke is missing
from that sentence in my notes um Apple blames the problem on ambient air during
the manufacturing process said the problem is limited to a small number of
iPhone 6s devices manufactured between September and October
2015 up FPS not the pink 128 gig
ones uh moving on to our next topic this was was originally posted by dat speed
on the Forum Facebook is now partnering with
fact Checkers to stop fake news the
original article here is from The
Verge and uh basically they're they're
creating some new tools for report reporting hoaxes and um as much as
they've denied any responsibility for having any kind of effect on the outcome
of the 2016 US election it seems as
though internally at least they are taking very seriously what others are
alleging and that is that they did have an effect so in a nutshell here's what
they're doing they've got tools that are designed to make it easier to report
links shared in the news feed as fake news and they're working with four
independent factchecking organizations to assess the accuracy of viral stories
Snopes PolitiFact ABC News and fact
check.org Facebook users who share a story that's been marked as false will
be warned that independent fact Checkers have disputed its accuracy Facebook will
use a variety of signals to identify stories that are likely to be false so
this includes stories that people post but later delete and also includes lots
of comments about them being fake they will use these and other signals to
populate a dashboard of dubious stories and factchecking partners will get
access to the dashboard they will then investigate the article's claims and
Market as disputed and linked to their their own article debunking it if at
least two factchecking organizations Mark a story is disputed users will
begin seeing a banner under the article if it appears in their Newsfeed and
we've got a picture of what that Banner would look like so here we go let me
just blow that up for you guys disputed by third-party fact
Checkers uh what else is going on here yeah uh so Facebook's product management
lead Adam masseri said they are focusing their efforts on the worst of the worst
uh clear hoaxes spread by spammers for
their own gain uh they also said they're
doing more to eliminate Financial incentives behind fake news so we'll
also prevent Publishers that use spoof domains like BuzzFeed feed.com or ABC
newsom.com
um you know the how do I put this I'm
trying to stay more apolitical on the show so certain people seem to be
impervious to here I'll put it in quotes facts
presented by Outlets that they have been
convinced somehow um are out to lie to them about
everything and you know what depending on which way your political
leanings go you could interpret that from either side so I think I've stayed
fairly safe here but basically it's a
it's it's it's a wellestablished phenomena that's going on right now
phenomenon yeah it's just one um that
there are these Echo Chambers on the right and the left and that no one seems
to even even if sort of a an
untrustworthy news source on one side or the other were to say something that was
factual there's this inherent distrust
that exists so I sincerely doubt that
any kind of warning under a an article
in a Newsfeed would really do much of
anything to cause the reader to not
believe it and if anything I think this is just going to create anger to Awards
Facebook for being part of the leftwing
liberal media dishonest whatever um or
the other side as it were if there are fake stories that uh you know if
someone's feet is just full of a bunch of stuff that Facebook's flagging as news as or as fake and they trust all
these news sources I think it's going to create distrust towards Facebook as
opposed to um the other way around but I
would love to be wrong about
this so
yeah yeah got a lot twitch chat twitch
chat is um wow twitch chat is not encouraging me
they are basically um they're basically going yep
sounds about right people are going to believe what they want to believe so
there's that um yeah we've got people saying hey
if it's if it's worthy of being flagged as clearly fake it should be removed but
then you're going to have you know the the the free spe the people who don't
quite understand
um the difference between the right to
free speech and the right to say whatever you want in a private Forum
you're going to have those people raising heck and and all that stuff so
uh this is a great question what about the onion
um you know W it's a great question like
I personally probably wouldn't click on
a satirical news story like something
that the onion would produce if it was flagged as fake news do they classify
satire separately could fake news outlets hide
behind satire these are all great questions and this is a very um this is
a very this is very challenging water that Facebook is heading into I'm glad
they're doing something but um I really think they're
going to have a hard time finding a middle ground that doesn't irk many many
of their users I mean the good news for Facebook is they're in a position of
power to do something like this where what else is there they're basically a
social network Monopoly it's like out of a hundred
friends you know 10 of them might have WhatsApp three of them might have Google
Hangouts 15 of them might have Twitter and I'm making up these numbers don't
quote me on these numbers but like 95 of
them probably have Facebook even if they
don't use it super regularly so there you go it's like it's like the modern
White Pages it's like you probably are
listed on Facebook unless you like specifically went out of your way to
contact the white pages and you know get
your number removed basically like
that people are like we want
Luke they want you Luke so that's one
thing I have in common with our viewers you're just GNA step in and
contribute something completely worthless to my topic once again yeah
what are you talking about right now is that what you're up to no I'm not talking about anything I'm not talking
about anything forget it I'm talking Facebook Facebook is best website can
you not bump the table and everything over other than linest Tech tips.com
that has ever been created the best the
they have the best B also I heard that Colonel mortis made
Facebook he's the CEO of Facebook that's why lonus Tech tips is the only website
that's better because he also basically
runs L all right get okay so speaking of
the lonus tech tips website being awesome
um oh well there's a post that I had meant to make on Linus Tech tips.com
last night and never did um so speaking
of Linus techtips being awesome this is
a um is a uh what's it called Shameless
yes entirely Shameless plug for the
Forum uh actually Luke I do need your help for a minute I'm logged into my
admin account is there anything that I'm looking at right now that is
incriminating not right now okay cool I won't change the page I will do that
yeah I'm good I'll be good
um at some point Luke is just going to take away my admin account on the Forum
I'm sure that it will happen and I'm sure that I will deserve it to have
happened but basically uh right
now exclusively for Floatplane club
members nerd Sports in its entirety we
bought back the rights when vessel went kaput is up episodes 1 to five
volleyball lacrosse dodgeball hockey and curling watch the lonus Media Group crew
take on hi guys thank you for that actual
athletes in all of those Sports on the
Floatplane Club so if you guys are wondering how to join the Floatplane
Club it is pretty straightforward all you do is head over to the lonus tech
tips Forum we've got an item on there in the store ah my nose is itchy item on
there in the store float play Club there you go so you go ahead you buy that item
it's a subscription and you get early access to LTT videos we're building our
own streaming platform which Luke has been very hard at work on and we've got
it working up to 1080p streaming that
users are reporting looks better than YouTube's 1080p we've even had people telling us
it looks better than their 4K right yeah and we're not done yet by the way shout
out to Eric and Catman and mortise and everyone else shout out to Eric cat
boiler Mor y that's fine I got it TR to take away
the boiler yeah we're trying to get him to change his name like maybe we should
get like a change.org thing going yeah maybe everyone in chat suggest a new
name for cat boiler yeah new names for cat boiler that would be amazing I'm not
to Jake even though he hasn't been on the slack in like a few weeks yeah
um grass all right thank you thank you everybody else and all the
pilots anyway good news for everyone who
doesn't want to join Floatplane club though so while they're all up there so you can binge watch you can also check
them out on YouTube on the Channel Super Fun Channel starting this weekend so
we're going to be releasing them uh one per weekend for the next five weeks and
everyone will have access to nerd Sports
so we're we're really excited to uh we're really excited to get that going
wow most of these suggestions from twitch chat are
terrible like Beyond
terrible way I need to cat griller Kitty
boiler dog roaster cat vagina dog
freezer cow wanker none of those are better yeah none of those are cat
diddler Grabber uh yeah cat Broiler we got
slightly different um oh okay oh okay hold on hold on we
got to take we got to take a short break here while Luke records part of his
video and what I want you guys doing now because all of your suggestions for cat
boiler's name are awful they're bad you should feel bad is I want you guys to
try and figure out what video Luke is filming so I'm just going to be quiet!
for a moment
here restarting the computer took forever 2 minutes and 13 seconds to be
exact to go from clicking the restart button to having Firefox up on the line
of tech tips page and it didn't really get much better from there lo loading
foxit took a very long time to the point where I was worried that it wasn't going
to function at all steam I was actually 100% convinced
I'm failing on the way
that's restarting the computer took forever from pressing the restart button
to having Firefox loaded with the lus Tex homepage on it took 2 minutes and 1
I could also go all ASMR on this maybe
we'll do the whole next topic like
this kch is sinking wages unpaid Talent
leaving so the original poster for this was Patrick JP 93 on the Forum now there
have been rumors rling around cry Tech
makers of Far Cry Crisis crisis 2 Crisis
3 and cry engine I'm pretty sure they
did other things too but there's at least that going for them about there
being all kinds of instability wages unpaid but they've denied it and denied
it and denied it and uh things had
actually returned to stability until I'm
talking about something else get out of here what so things had been financially
stable at krych until until June of this year around that time krych Frankfurt
office discovered that they weren't going to be paid on time the upper
management ensured employees that all financial problems would be worked out
by August 2016 and that there would be enough money to remain stable for at
least 18 months payroll was two weeks
late for July and August September came and payroll was five weeks late wages
for October and November have yet to be paid December's pay is due in about 3
weeks time kit Guru reports that their Source says there has been no indication
of financial issues until June of this
year uh but those still at the Frankfurt office have submitted a legal letter to
management informing them that if wages for October November in December aren't
paid in full by the end of next week they will stop working those at The
Budapest Studio have apparently already stopped turning up to work the company
has about 700 employees though it's hard
to say if they actually have those employees if they aren't
paying them if I stopped paying you guys would I still have

favorite way to do logo designer no it's actually not my point is that you canet
not that you should at lus G Sebastian so his personal account you should flood
his personal account why are you doing this to me with onepage websites that
you think are just the best it'll basically be like his great the greatest
yeah the best websites you have actually
contributed like in a below zero
manner to the quality of today's show speaking of which and this is a show
that had no audio in the intro and Audio
Only in the Left Channel for the first four minutes speaking of which that is
where you're at today I think you should do the rest of the sponsor spots ASMR no

up in there hey I found a guitar pick here's a present thank you no problem
I'm here for you Western Digital is
announcing high capacity 12 tbte and 14
tbte helium filled hard drives the original article here is
extreme.com and oh I am not in the corner of that anymore but don't worry
about it this ad's going to go away pretty freaking fantastic so the 12 tbte
is an eight freaking platter design
eight platters in there and the 14 tbte
is a shingled magnetic recording design
so the 12 TB is going to actually perform significantly
better but like holy crap I have spent
some time with seates archive drives which are also shingled magnetic
recording drives and they're like
actually not that bad for archival use
and 14 terab per disc would mean that in
something like um a storinator 60 I mean
what does that freaking Math Workout to you'd be able to put so 60 drives 60
drives you'd be able to put 60 terabytes plus another 40% of that so oh that
would be another 12 so you'd be able to put 72 freaking terabytes in a single
storinator
xl60 unreal I mean never mind it being
absolutely terrifying that if one of your driv dies like if you are actually
using these in a desktop that you could lose anywhere from 12 to 14 terabytes of
data but uh of course that's just the usual very strong argument for not just
redundancy but backups so there you
go um yeah I guess that's pretty much all
there is to say about that Amazon's
first Prime air can I talk louder Amazon's first Prime air delivery
has happened it's official it was posted
by Pig hammer on the Forum the original article here is from kit guru.net and
here it is it happened December 7th
2016 fully autonomous hold on let me mute that volume there it's a two-minute
video so we're not going to watch the whole thing but like blah blah blah
there's some footage blah blah blah something something Fire TV of course
they ordered a Fire TV because they wanted one of those and there's a drone
and there's presumably another drone taking videos of the drones drone while
you drone so you can drone while you drone fulfilled there it is in the yard
wow freaking future man freaking future
I am like super excited about
this like super excited anyone outside of a fairly dense urban center I'd
imagine this isn't going to benefit them for quite some time but uh man the idea
of not just from like a consumer standpoint of it would sure be cool if I
could order crap under 2 kg crap under 2
kilog and uh so there's two customers
taking place in the trial right now due to the fact that they live close enough to the Fulfillment center so as long as
you live close enough to a fulfillment center and your order is under 2 kilograms I'm super excited to be able
to receive stuff within like potentially
hours or even minutes of ordering it because that's like super amazing as a
consumer but I am also excited from just
a like an efficiency standpoint I mean
compared to sending a truck to your
house to deliver like a pack of
batteries like think about the
efficiency of being able to use a little
electrically powered device to to do the
last the last mile because there's a huge variety of ways that they could
deploy this like Amazon could just have a truck kind of drive out to some you
know intelligently you know determined
optimized point and you know kind of like in Phantom Menace sorry I shouldn't
be talking about Phantom Menace we all agreed not to talk about
that movie I'm sorry anyway like in that
movie uh where the the droids like slide out of the back of the tank thing and
they like deploy and then they don't deploy in the air because they're
walking droids because you know for some reason they thought that would be a good
idea anyway um there there's there's a
hundred different ways that they could make it so that delivery to people's
homes could be less environmentally impactful and just generally more
efficient than it is today using this
kind of technology so that is super
duper exciting um I mean yeah you look at the more
traditional way of getting goods and it is inherently more efficient than having
a Distribution Hub and then vehicles
driving out like a like a a spoken wheel type system out from there to drop off
to individual customers because you would carry you know pallets at a time
of stuff like milk for example so while
yes the consumer is effectively doing the same thing where they are driving
their individual car to and from like some kind of a of a hub they are picking
up more than one thing at a time and they're usually like if they're if
they're clever consumers they're consolidating their trips so the grocery
store gets a Consolidated large shipment of eggs or milk or whatever the case may
be and then the consumer comes and buys eggs and milk and you know this weird
little container in the shape of a Goldfish cracker that fits Goldfish
crackers in it because his kids wouldn't shut up about it and they wanted it so
badly and it was only like
$3 not that I'm speaking about from personal experience on that last
one all right um twitch introduces
automod a self-learning moderation tool
so this was posted on the Forum by novas
ball in the original article is from kit guru.com and they are going to be using
machine learning to help police chat
this has got to be one of the best things that I've seen come out of the
Amazon acquisition of twitch so far we
have actually put a fair bit of work into our own moderation bot and it is
baffling to me that twitch had not invested in this kind of thing before so
automod will be a chatbot that uses machine learning and natural language
processing to police chat rooms it is not entirely intended to replace human
moderators and twitch Line's tagline for the announcement is moderators are the
sword automod is The Shield which is
super lame I think that's pretty cool it
is you know how it
works you automod works so twitch notes
that streamers can configure automod by selecting one of four different levels
so these levels affect how aggressively automod holds back messages under four
categories identity sexual language
aggressive speech and profanity when
automod Flags a message it lets the original sender know that moderators
will review the message's contents before it sent to chat meanwhile the
message is shown to mods for approval so
yes their slogan makes sense it's just
lame that's all and we can agree to
disagree on this if you want
okay speaking of twitch and streaming
this is kind of a big deal I mean League of Legends is getting reported on in the
Wall Street Journal League of Legends Esports contests lure newest fan Major
League Baseball 10 cents Riot games in a $300
million deal with MLB unit to stream
competitive video gaming so now Major
League Baseball and the NBA are getting
involved in Big League Gaming so bam
Tech was spun into its own company from Major League Baseball and Disney as well
as the National Hockey League oh sorry from Major League Baseball Disney as
well as the National Hockey League own a part of it according to Wall Street
Journal the agreement calls for bam Tech to pay a minimum 300 million through
2023 to Riot games in return they'll get exclusive
rights to stream and monetize the company's popular multiplayer online
battle arena game bam Tech plans to
launch a League of Legends streaming service with apps for smartphones PCS
and other devices they will also handle Distribution on existing streaming
portals like twitch and YouTube gaming
wow unreal holy actual freaking
crap speaking of unreal holy actual freaking crap Microsoft is bring Cortana
to fridges toasters and thermostats so
just in case you were thinking that um
you needed to be able to talk to your
toaster you will be able to do that soon
assuming you get some kind of supported
device though to be perfectly honest and
I would I would love to hear from you guys in the twitch chat on
this I have never been compelled to
replace an appliance for any reason
other than my old one broke are you guys on the same page with
me here like is anyone going like yeah I
like super duper need the what what
could I possibly want my oven to do
other than what it does already like 5 years from now what what if you could
leave a bag of popcorn in your microwave
before you go to work and then you walk into your door and just say hey
microwave make that popcorn and it's just ready in in two
minutes preheating your oven before home
why would you want to preheat your oven before you're home because when you get
home and you want to make something your oven's already you still preheat it by
the time you get home it's already preheated by the time you finished preparing the thing that goes in the
oven it's already preheated not not if it's a frozen
pizza yeah boom kind of example that I was you guys
are giving me so much cancer right now
um so so okay thermostat fine
intelligent thermostat sure um but honestly it's
going to be the same problem as it always is when where like you've got
your nest thermostat already because you're the kind of tech junkie that buys
Internet of Things devices you've got your Linus lock which is a thing by the
way you've got your you know uh
Samsung Smart fridge that you can bet
your bottom dollar they're not going to care about putting Cortana on and then
you've got your Cortana toaster and none of it is going to work together at all
so it's just stupid and pointless so 5 10
years from now when everyone gets over their egos and there's actually some
kind of cohesive ecosystem I'm still calling it The iHome okay where Apple
just does the whole thing themselves then you'll have my attention but for
now and like Okay and like when a smart fridge comes out that actually has like
cameras all over the inside that keeps track of like like not not just cameras
like it needs to be able to like scan my milk my Milk Carton and know how full it
is and stuff like when that fridge exists I'm down but until then I super
don't care and neither do a lot of
people um all
right this is great uh so this was originally posted by oh no one on the
Forum the original article here is from Mac Rumors Apple will apparently charge
$69 to replace um hold on a second blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah here we go so battery service will be $49 each on
airpods out of warranty $69 each and if you lose an airpod they will charge $69
which is only slightly less than half of
the price of airpods in the first place if I recall correctly though I haven't
actually gone and bought them yet and I don't remember because I am an idiot so
let's go ahead no I don't want apple.ca no one knows Canadian dollars
so if I talk about things in terms of Canadian dollars I'm just shooting
myself in the foot I thought they were no they're 159 okay so it's still only a
little less than half of one
um yeah what is there to say about it other than that I guess I will be
reviewing the airpods so they went on
sale Tuesday Morning uh the earliest I'm able to get them is Sunday Apple stores
in Canada are going to get them so I'm actually I'm coming in on Sunday
burkel's coming in on Sunday Tyler's going to be helping us out and we are
going to be slamming together so I've already got all of my other wireless
headphones like charged up firmware updated ready to rock I've got the
braggy dash I've got the uh jbird
freedoms and then I've got some regular ear pods with the lightning connector
and I'm going to be whipping together a video for you guys that's going to be
coming out on Sunday um I can already I've never heard them before but I'm
pretty sure I can already tell you how it goes um they're expensive they sound
like okay I guess uh they don't stay in your ears as well as some other
Solutions and I don't personally feel like the the absence of a cable in
between them contributes much to the experience but if you want to watch that
again but longer with Glam footage then Sunday will be the time
yes sir spefic video on installing Windows a video on installing Windows
specific one like is there a tech or is there like how install there's an NCIX
Tech tips so you could do that
okay all right oh this is exciting posted on the Forum by dat speed LG is
taking a 4K HDR monitor with USBC to CES
HDR is is coming finally so AMD has got
support for HDR I actually don't know
about NVIDIA's HDR status ASMR time
again no content you want to ASMR about HD yeah yeah I'm doing it all right
there's there's like no content um actually my 4K Blu-ray is it worth it
video is coming to YouTube very soon as well uh should be a really good video if
you're interested in HDR but um in a
nutshell um 4K Blu-ray does not run on a PC so there's there's really other than
content creation I guess there's really not much reason to care about HDR on the
PC but damn it it's coming and I'm going
to be trying to get one of these from LG like ASAP because I think it would be
flipping bananas to have like float
planing club now with better streaming quality than
YouTube and with HDR which nobody will be using
also actually oh this is another very
important announcement for you guys it's
official as of today we are going
red we were looking at our uh looking at
our accounting books it's almost year end so uh this is the time for us to
make any kinds of you know key Investments but um we had an internal
meeting and we kind of went okay we've got some equipment budget
left over for this year let's talk about some stuff we need to do so we're going
to be changing up the LTD set and we are
uh it came up that a big mission for us
is to have float playing Club streaming quality be better than any other
streaming video quality on the web and we kind of went
okay how are we going to achieve that shooting on a Sony
fs5 so sometime in mid January our order
will arrive we will be getting two red
cameras a red weapon with 8K sensor and
a Red Epic w we are going to be getting new lenses and we are going to be going
fullon sharpest possible image quality
so uh get excited guys we've got um we
used to kind of keep up with the rat race that is the whole like you know
let's be the first ones to 4K and let's get an external recorder and let's do
this and let's do that but we'd allowed oursel to fall behind a little bit and
we are not going to let that happen anymore we are moving
into a red ecosystem so uh stay tuned
for that guys it is going to be a bit of a learning curve for us but it is going
to result in some seriously sharp looking
videos all right
is there much else that's important here saw F
theow oh he's still
going so the Microsoft Surface Hub was originally posted by Al 2000 on the
Forum the original article here is from RS Technica let's go ahead and pop that
up but the surprise Hardware hit the
surface Hub apparently the conference
room computer is now a billion dooll business business
are you freaking kidding me I saw this thing and I went wow that's a really
cool proof of concept that's pretty neat
I didn't think they'd actually sell that many of them it went on sale earlier
this year so the conference Grom computer uh it's so the surface range of
touchscreen computers is getting a whole lot bigger the surface Hub is it's like
an all-in-one system so it has one note Skype for business office and Universal
Windows apps and it puts it in the conference room it's a single integrated device
they first showed it off in January um it includes dual 1080p
cameras for video conferencing they run a special version of Windows 10 uh the
big one supports an 84 in 120 HZ 3840 X
2160 screen packs a fourth generation Intel Core i7 paired with an NVIDIA
Quadro k2200 graphics card and the smaller one is 55 in 120 HZ 1080p uses a
core I 5 they've both got 128 gig SSD
it's eight gigs of RAM they don't just replace a whiteboard but a projector as
well and both of them work as mircast receivers and have HDMI and VGA inputs
as well so tell me something do you guys
want to see a review of a surface Hub
like we looked at it we went oh sure that's kind of neat but like we never
even thought to request one and we've
actually got a surface Studio One of only what is it four in the country two
I think two in the country and Luke's working on a review of that right now
and uh he well not like right now right
now he's doing it right now I'm on I'm on W show but soon and maybe a great
followup to that would be the surface Hub yes so thanks for tuning in to the W

with chip cards and the idea that someone might put a cover on the card
reader that skims your card when it goes
through I pretty sure I hosted that one
who the hell installed that and in this
situation they went even more hardcore
and installed like essentially an entire ATM on top of
the one that was there how would anybody not
