1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,240
we go

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:11,920
we're live it's rancho time luke is at

3
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:13,920
pax in boston thank you for asking

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:17,440
james is here james is here yeah

5
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:21,439
hey new luke discount luke discount luke said

6
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:26,960
everyone uh sorry we're late you guys i

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:32,960
have to confess that it was not entirely my fault

8
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:37,200
james was at least partially to blame

9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:40,320
go on um well james distracted me with

10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:43,520
his marvelous beard i spent

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:46,000
25 minutes just staring at it today

12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:52,079
rather than working which happens to be exactly the amount of time that i'm late

13
00:00:48,239 --> 00:00:52,079
Yvonne looks confused and worried

14
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:58,079
she shouldn't be confused but she can be a little worried if she'd like

15
00:00:57,199 --> 00:01:00,960
so she knows by now

16
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:08,799
um in all seriousness guys we have got

17
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:10,159
uh oh apparently the left ear is um

18
00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:15,680
not getting the right amount of attention oh crap

19
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:18,000
i i legitimately don't know how to fix that

20
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:23,759
um put your headphones in mono um yeah that

21
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:27,119
that may actually be the solution because i don't remember which dial does

22
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:31,439
what uh uh um uh

23
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,720
uh yeah okay

24
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:38,799
so yup nope no i don't actually know how that stuff

25
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:43,439
works so there you go uh apparently left and why do people

26
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:47,759
change these things why would anyone change that

27
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:52,399
once again we didn't touch it all week and once again it's different gremlins i

28
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:57,280
swear there are gremlins living in it so what's actually going on is i have been

29
00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:03,680
in a mad sprint to get a bunch of stuff done because i am going to china

30
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:08,239
i will be gone all next week but there will still be videos because this week

31
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:12,720
instead of being on time for WAN Show i was shooting two videos uh one's

32
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:15,360
actually pretty cool the other one's garbage yeah the other

33
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:20,480
one the other one's kind of lame um yeah no

34
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:26,720
one of them uh Intel released an entire lineup of called xeon w that as far as

35
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:30,480
we can could tell as far as we could tell is basically

36
00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:38,160
their core series high-end desktop processors

37
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:39,200
with a xeon sticker over top of core i9

38
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:45,200
and some ecc support kind of ticked on in

39
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:48,560
the microcode or with a non-lasered connection somewhere in the chip or

40
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:55,120
something along those lines at least that's what we thought

41
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,959
and that turned out to be very true so

42
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:00,720
that that's going to be interesting so you can see what you're paying an extra

43
00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:05,120
uh as much as like five six hundred bucks for depending on what kind of a currency you

44
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:08,720
use and i'm just mad that that was like a spoiler

45
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,840
yeah i guess it's kind of a spoiler i mean

46
00:03:10,239 --> 00:03:18,159
people who watch the wen show we want to spoil them they're nice people they're good people

47
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:20,239
you the best um

48
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:24,560
second one is actually on the lenovo x1 carbon really nice machine yeah

49
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,720
but like everything this year it is not quite

50
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,680
perfect which will drive me to madness at some point

51
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:36,519
because you got either 1080p with touch

52
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:42,319
or 1440p with HDR

53
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:46,400
but no touchy is there any

54
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:51,519
technical reason for that um actually i remember talking to them back at ces and

55
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:55,760
i managed to get not a marketing person which is always awesome

56
00:03:53,760 --> 00:04:01,200
when you manage to find like the engineering guy that's kind of like

57
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:05,280
kind of like back at the back of the booth or like kind of

58
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:09,680
sipping a coffee they don't let me talk to people like yeah i'm just i'm here

59
00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:13,599
but like realistically i'm not really supposed to say anything

60
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:18,720
um you know whatever so you go find that

61
00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:22,560
guy and he'll be like

62
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:24,800
you know yeah i wanted that too but

63
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:29,600
yeah there was there was some issue with this and i don't remember what the

64
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,960
reason was it seemed to be a fairly

65
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:35,280
fairly good one um and anyway we actually had a great

66
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:39,919
chat but you remember a technical reason it wasn't just they were trying to hit a particular price point there was a

67
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:43,919
business reason okay there was there was a compelling enough reason because i

68
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:50,639
remember we had a long chat where we were discussing sort of the stagnation

69
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:54,160
of display technology in the pc space

70
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:55,600
no one does anything until apple does it

71
00:04:54,160 --> 00:05:04,160
because you think about it a pc up till the very high end would be like

72
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:06,400
1366 by 768 you remember that horrible

73
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:11,440
sort of hd resolution that they were pushing for a while

74
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:16,479
freaking awful and that was like the norm until apple came out

75
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:21,600
and was like okay no retina retina is a thing now and then everyone

76
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:23,759
everyone raced to retina but it's all it

77
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:30,000
all feels kind of like like it's driven by just responsiveness

78
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,360
rather than trying to uh trying to

79
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,160
innovate in a way that's meaningful to the consumer so i would look at notebook

80
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:41,280
displays and i would go why are we trying to sell 4k

81
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:46,479
why aren't we just running a sensible resolution like 2560 by 1440 and doing

82
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:52,960
it at a higher refresh rate that's what i'd like to see i don't mind

83
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:55,039
seeing features like HDR for example but

84
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:58,000
i don't necessarily want to compromise on them so

85
00:05:58,479 --> 00:06:05,280
um yeah to be clear we are trying to we are

86
00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:10,080
trying to fix the audio but for now what i would recommend

87
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:14,080
is that you use the i'm watching a podcast but my kids are

88
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:19,199
in the next room and i need to hear if they're crying technique i i can't do

89
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:23,919
one headphone really i can't do it i don't know it's psychology it falls out

90
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:27,360
no no no no it's just the sound of it i think i'm i think

91
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:31,520
i'm like focusing on the fact that one of my your ears is getting worn out

92
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:35,600
faster than the other i need them to be balanced

93
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:41,039
what that's insane

94
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:45,039
i all can see it it could be insane it just bugs me

95
00:06:42,319 --> 00:06:49,759
so and okay let's say that i let's say that i do subscribe to oh wait it's too

96
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:53,039
loud Anthony just scream at him out there

97
00:06:51,919 --> 00:06:58,639
yeah i i'm between a rock and a hard place no no it's fine i'll message him um

98
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:03,360
technology let's see him walk me away um

99
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:07,280
so let's say that i do subscribe to your theory that listening to headphones is

100
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:12,479
going to wear out my ears wouldn't i want

101
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:15,520
to wear them out less

102
00:07:12,479 --> 00:07:17,599
uh okay no it's it's not the fact

103
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:21,120
so i would use just one for a bit right right here here i'll show you i'll show

104
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:25,199
you the technique i came up with i call it the i call it the james is crazy but

105
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:29,440
maybe just crazy enough for it to work technique

106
00:07:26,479 --> 00:07:32,560
i'm gonna listen for a little while here i'm gonna listen for a little while here

107
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:36,560
i actually miss very little of my program

108
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:39,919
but you're saving on 50 your erosion so

109
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:44,720
your erosion okay here's the thing it's not hold on just a second i hate you so

110
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:47,599
much it's not that they're getting used or worn out like your brakes on the

111
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,039
car that's fine it's that they're getting used unequally

112
00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:56,639
okay all right all right but this is all this was just like the

113
00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,160
seed that that resulted in me just hating the

114
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:03,840
feeling of it now right this is like when i was like 12 or something right

115
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,199
uh oh man luke even he knew i wouldn't

116
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:13,599
check so he went out of his way to message me

117
00:08:11,919 --> 00:08:16,639
and tell me make sure that you change the title of the WAN Show because i'm

118
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,199
changing it for the thing that i'm doing at pax

119
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:27,240
fridays uh 17.

120
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:33,599
can we talk about news while you do that what you want to talk about news you you

121
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:37,440
want the work that you do on this show to actually

122
00:08:34,959 --> 00:08:42,240
like be for something yeah that's madness um yeah fine okay what do you

123
00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:48,240
want okay well there's a a thread on our forum uh posted by

124
00:08:45,839 --> 00:08:51,200
aluminum tech also known as aluminium tech

125
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:56,720
and this thread is about the facebook messenger app and how zuckerberg the ceo

126
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:59,519
of facebook this week uh confirmed that facebook does indeed

127
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:04,160
scan your messages whether they're pictures or text or whatever

128
00:09:02,399 --> 00:09:08,560
make sure make sure that they conform with community guidelines

129
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:12,399
before actually sending it to the to the recipient so

130
00:09:10,959 --> 00:09:17,360
if you send something that's against their guidelines like hate speech or inciting genocide or something like that

131
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:22,399
they may not actually deliver that message to whoever you're talking to

132
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:24,959
which uh definitely has some benefits

133
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:30,080
but the thread on our forum kind of erroneously implies that the

134
00:09:28,959 --> 00:09:34,160
that we're not just talking about facebook messenger's normal messaging

135
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:37,760
when we're talking about this uh this surveillance it implies that we're

136
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:41,360
talking about facebook's secret function which is more akin to apps like signal

137
00:09:40,399 --> 00:09:46,399
or telegram and that's actually not the case facebook does have a function

138
00:09:44,959 --> 00:09:51,040
facebook messenger has a function where you can make your your chats

139
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,920
encrypted end to end and like the interface turns black and there's a

140
00:09:52,320 --> 00:10:00,640
little lock and you can even make exploding messages like snapchat style

141
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:02,800
facebook is not scanning those messages

142
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:06,880
at all or maybe they are and we have no evidence of it but the the news or the

143
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:11,120
whatever zuckerberg confirmed has nothing to do with the secret messages

144
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:16,160
it has to do with the normal messages and so we really shouldn't be surprised

145
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:20,720
that they're looking at those so tell me then

146
00:10:18,959 --> 00:10:26,640
okay do you use facebook messenger yeah actually it's one of my primary messaging apps okay how do you feel

147
00:10:24,079 --> 00:10:30,839
about them scanning your messages with an automated system

148
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:35,200
for community guidelines standards adherence

149
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:40,720
as opposed to like a human well i guess i wanna i'm asking two questions first

150
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:45,200
so um do you like or dislike it

151
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:48,480
i believe okay first of all i think we should clarify i believe that they're

152
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:53,120
scanned with an automated system and once they're flagged it requires a human

153
00:10:50,959 --> 00:10:56,640
to then say this message is not getting sent through i believe that's how it

154
00:10:54,640 --> 00:11:00,399
works sure i am fine with my messages being scanned

155
00:10:59,279 --> 00:11:05,839
okay and are you surprised by this no no you

156
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:09,519
should also mention that they do not use the data that

157
00:11:06,959 --> 00:11:14,399
any of the information that they scan that information is not used to sell ads

158
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:18,000
which is what gmail used to do prior to last year

159
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,000
right

160
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,800
so i gotta tell you um i

161
00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:30,399
so okay okay story time so

162
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:34,079
the only reason that i use facebook is

163
00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:37,600
that facebook does not permit you

164
00:11:34,079 --> 00:11:40,079
to manage a facebook page

165
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:43,440
um so the first page that i had to manage and the reason that i had to

166
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:48,240
create a facebook account was the one for ncix pc back when i worked there so

167
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:52,160
we were trying to get into this whole newfangled social media thing

168
00:11:50,959 --> 00:11:57,040
and so i needed an account so that the page

169
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,640
could invite me to manage it um and make

170
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:03,360
posts on it and stuff i have probably posted of my own

171
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:06,160
volition a grand total of i don't know between five and ten things on facebook

172
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:12,800
ever um i only use facebook messenger as sort

173
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:15,120
of a um as a digital phone book because

174
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,120
the the good thing about facebook is that

175
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:21,760
whether um you know

176
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:24,800
whether you're happy about it or whether you kind of just do it because you have

177
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:29,440
to pretty much everyone has it and and yes

178
00:12:27,519 --> 00:12:33,680
thank you whoever's in the twitch chat declaring that they do not have facebook

179
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:36,880
because they're taking some stand

180
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:40,880
good for you we're all jealous we all want to be in your shoes but but but the

181
00:12:39,279 --> 00:12:45,680
truth of the matter is that facebook is a great way to get in touch with people

182
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:47,839
and aside from people changing their names

183
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:51,120
um like yeah

184
00:12:51,279 --> 00:12:57,120
i i okay like having your first name and middle name as your facebook name no no

185
00:12:55,200 --> 00:13:01,279
i mean i mean people getting married oh okay so there's a this is kind of

186
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:06,639
embarrassing but i was going through my friends on facebook and i was like who

187
00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:07,839
are these people

188
00:13:06,639 --> 00:13:13,040
and the shut up the people i was confused about

189
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:16,560
were mostly women from my high school class that are

190
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:22,399
now married and i was like that kind of looks oh oh

191
00:13:20,959 --> 00:13:26,399
okay that that makes sense

192
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:30,720
um and then like a kid that i went to elementary school with he changed his

193
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:35,839
name from like his his stepdad's name which was his

194
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:41,200
last name for some reason i'm not quite sure how that worked to his birth

195
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:43,680
father's name oh so i was like oh your

196
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:46,560
whatever your name is barry now um

197
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:50,720
that's cool wouldn't have known that if i had from barry to barry happy e to be

198
00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:54,880
a um that would be tough but anyway so what's

199
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:57,760
good about facebook is that it's it's a digital phone book it's because

200
00:13:56,560 --> 00:14:02,079
the real phone books aren't a thing anymore um but the bad thing about it

201
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:06,160
and the thing that has always made me both a little bit uncomfortable and just

202
00:14:04,639 --> 00:14:14,880
feel like it's a little bit unnecessary is that while i am technically a millennial um i i share

203
00:14:11,199 --> 00:14:17,440
sort of updates about my life as a job i

204
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:21,040
have never done it for leisure not once um when i created a facebook account it

205
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:24,480
was because i needed to for work when i created a twitter account it was because

206
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:28,160
i had to for work and when i created a youtube account it was because i had to

207
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:32,959
for work same with twitch for that matter um

208
00:14:30,639 --> 00:14:37,199
so i just straight up like don't really get it and i've never really felt it's

209
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:44,320
never been because i feel super comfortable with it that i've shared a lot of detail about my life um like some

210
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:46,720
of you have probably noticed that i now

211
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:50,160
that especially now that the Linus tech twitter account is managed by the entire

212
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:55,040
team i post almost nothing really personal on

213
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:58,720
it and i only post to my personal account like once every couple weeks

214
00:14:57,519 --> 00:15:02,800
at most um and i've had a lot of people ask me like why don't you do more videos on

215
00:15:01,199 --> 00:15:05,920
your Linus cat tips channel or why don't you vlog or why don't you do this or do

216
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:10,959
that and the truth of the matter is like i actually i like

217
00:15:08,639 --> 00:15:15,600
not having to talk to anybody yeah no kidding like it's related i

218
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:20,480
found that i watched started watching our videos a lot less once

219
00:15:17,839 --> 00:15:23,440
i worked here for a while and it's like not a surprise like what

220
00:15:22,399 --> 00:15:28,320
do you want to do when you go home do you want to watch Linus tech tips like no you just did Linus tech tips all day

221
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:34,240
i i just had to look at him for the last eight hours

222
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:39,040
the last thing i want to do is to see him again because he's annoying well

223
00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:43,279
it's not you see how i'm almost see i'm only wearing out one here right now

224
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:46,320
it's not you it's me it's weird today someone someone made a

225
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:50,320
thread about uh an item that they thought would be awesome for us to review so i send it to

226
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:54,000
Anthony i was like oh have you seen this yet and he's like yeah alex just made a

227
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:57,839
video about that today like it's done already like oh

228
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,079
so okay so back to back to messenger so for

229
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:06,560
me honestly it doesn't affect me much because even though i do have a facebook

230
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:12,320
account this is actually the okay you know i'm gonna i'm gonna go off on another thing here

231
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:17,040
then use your words if i had a if i had a

232
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:22,720
dollar for every time we've run a giveaway or a promotion or something

233
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:26,480
and it has required you to to tweet something

234
00:16:23,839 --> 00:16:31,759
for every time someone's been like yeah well you've got you guys suck

235
00:16:28,959 --> 00:16:35,680
because i don't have twitter if i had a dollar for every time i saw

236
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:40,560
that i would still be mad

237
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:42,320
because it's phenomenally stupid

238
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:46,959
twitter is free facebook is free

239
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,880
and the only information they have is

240
00:16:46,959 --> 00:16:53,519
what you give them creating a twitter account

241
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:57,759
that's sole purpose is to enter giveaways

242
00:16:54,959 --> 00:17:02,399
really doesn't give them a lot on you and get this it's free you could create

243
00:17:01,279 --> 00:17:08,959
a new one every time hey but you need to have an

244
00:17:05,199 --> 00:17:10,400
email address which is freedom also free

245
00:17:08,959 --> 00:17:16,160
so if you don't if you don't

246
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:20,880
want it that bad to create a free anonymous email and a free anonymous

247
00:17:19,039 --> 00:17:24,319
twitter account people are like uh cookies

248
00:17:22,559 --> 00:17:28,799
walk in once post the thing

249
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,799
log back out

250
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:36,640
um it's pet peeve show next pet peeve topic how about that so so i do so so

251
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:40,240
anyway so i do have a facebook account but they actually probably know very

252
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:45,200
very little about me personally other than that i'm a tech head and i post a

253
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:47,840
lot of techy stuff for work

254
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,840
um

255
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:53,200
so i guess i'm trying to say that i just i'm not bothered that much you know what

256
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:58,000
sucks more about facebook messenger than that feature is them putting

257
00:17:55,679 --> 00:18:01,280
ads in your inbox you probably haven't even seen this but

258
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:05,440
on on mobile like you'll open your messages it'll be like

259
00:18:03,360 --> 00:18:09,280
your partner your best friend your acquaintance

260
00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:12,559
oculus blah blah with a picture and everything really and then another

261
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:15,520
acquaintance straight up like right in there and i

262
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:19,039
don't know if these are in whatsapp yet but i wouldn't be surprised if that

263
00:18:17,039 --> 00:18:22,640
happens soon since they've been wanting to monetize whatsapp for a while and

264
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:28,000
they own it um i would like to show you something

265
00:18:25,039 --> 00:18:35,360
super super cool and funny um i think there's a way to see your page f as

266
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:36,880
though you are like oh man no you might

267
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:40,840
not your personal page yeah view as a page visitor no no no the line of the

268
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:44,960
line is tech tips one right um

269
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:50,080
oh wow is it gone oh that's pretty annoying um well anyway

270
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:54,400
up until sometime hopefully fairly recently

271
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:58,960
the the Linus tech tips page actually had as like like the top

272
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:01,679
post like somewhere near the top um please don't send messages to this

273
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:05,600
account nobody checks them

274
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:10,480
and right now see i don't even know where to find them

275
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:14,640
which is super terrible uh see the feed do you know where you

276
00:19:12,559 --> 00:19:18,240
find messages maybe you disabled it maybe that's why that uh warning isn't

277
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:21,679
even there anymore i don't know we had something horrendous

278
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:26,640
like uh i don't remember how many tens of

279
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:30,240
thousands of messages that people sent and i was just like

280
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:34,799
i don't know i don't know what i can do for you to help make it more clear that

281
00:19:32,559 --> 00:19:38,080
you shouldn't send messages through here um and it just said something like yeah

282
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,960
you need to go on the you need to go on the twitter page if you want to or the

283
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:46,080
twitter account if you need to send a message um

284
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:49,200
and wow i just i have no i should honestly i should be screen

285
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:54,720
sharing right now because you guys would find this pretty funny i have no idea

286
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:56,480
how to use facebook how do i facebook

287
00:19:54,720 --> 00:20:00,080
you maybe you used to then as soon as you had a kid it just left you now

288
00:19:58,799 --> 00:20:04,640
you're old people i just never did i just actually never cared like at all

289
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:08,080
um yeah i don't know but anyway so the

290
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:11,760
point is i do use messenger but it's usually just to be like oh yeah that

291
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:15,600
person that i met at like badminton at the rec center a couple weeks ago

292
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,600
uh what was their name again oh right maybe i'll see if i can get in touch

293
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:22,880
with them yeah one facebook messenger feature i like is

294
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:26,640
that you can make it your default sms app on Android anyway so you could type

295
00:20:25,120 --> 00:20:30,159
in someone's name and then choose to message them via facebook or through

296
00:20:28,799 --> 00:20:35,280
like regular texting which is sweet because then you only have one app for

297
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:38,159
both purposes but it also kind of sucks so i eventually switched back to not

298
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:43,600
doing that all right so why don't we jump into the

299
00:20:40,559 --> 00:20:44,880
next thing that i'm super mad about um

300
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:51,200
the original article here is from anontech and this was posted by aluminium tech on the forum

301
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:53,600
once again all right

302
00:20:54,080 --> 00:21:00,400
this is really dumb and really frustrating and it's not the first time

303
00:20:58,159 --> 00:21:06,320
that this has been done by either AMD or NVIDIA and so right to be clear even

304
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:08,320
though it's NVIDIA doing it this time

305
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:13,679
AMD's done it in the past neither of them is getting a free pass

306
00:21:09,919 --> 00:21:16,799
here and this behavior is absolutely 100

307
00:21:13,679 --> 00:21:20,080
unacceptable it's right in the headline

308
00:21:16,799 --> 00:21:23,679
NVIDIA quietly rolls out slower

309
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:27,600
lower TDP GeForce gt 1030

310
00:21:23,679 --> 00:21:28,640
with ddr4 vram

311
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:33,360
now to be clear the gt 1030 is not some kind

312
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:38,000
of pillar of gaming cards

313
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:42,000
or anything like that and you wouldn't expect to be running the latest games at

314
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:45,520
the highest settings at the highest resolutions with them

315
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:51,120
but you would expect that if you bought a gt

316
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:56,799
1030 that what you got out of the box would

317
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:58,480
be similar to someone else's gt 1030 and

318
00:21:56,799 --> 00:22:03,280
i would make the argument that if you look a little bit closer at these specs

319
00:22:00,159 --> 00:22:06,080
here look at this

320
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:09,919
memory that is running at one third of the speed

321
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:17,679
oh man not to mention

322
00:22:13,919 --> 00:22:19,840
at lower base and boost clocks

323
00:22:17,679 --> 00:22:26,039
with a completely different memory technology so we're talking ddr4 versus

324
00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:26,039
gddr5

325
00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:33,520
i would make the assumption that that is not what you would expect

326
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:37,360
and that that is going to make some difference to the gaming experience and

327
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:42,799
that if you are buying a dedicated graphics card you probably care at least

328
00:22:40,159 --> 00:22:47,679
somewhat about the gaming experience is it true that these systems the systems

329
00:22:44,799 --> 00:22:51,200
that will be running these low end cards discrete as they may be

330
00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:58,159
won't actually be able to really reap the benefits of ddr5 anyway

331
00:22:55,120 --> 00:23:00,880
so it's not a huge loss okay

332
00:22:58,159 --> 00:23:06,720
so you could make the argument that the way that um a review site like us or an

333
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:12,559
on tech or whoever else would typically benchmark a card like this

334
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:14,799
is not necessarily a very real world

335
00:23:12,559 --> 00:23:17,919
because what we'll do and we've taken a lot of flack for this over the years

336
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:21,120
presumably from people who don't understand why we do it this way but

337
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:24,000
what we'll typically do is we'll take the highest end processor in the on the

338
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:29,840
market and we'll throw a gt 1030 on it

339
00:23:28,159 --> 00:23:33,600
and then we'll report our results with the gt 1030 compared to

340
00:23:32,159 --> 00:23:40,080
some other graphics cards you know whatever suite of cards we decide to test and the the fatal flaw that people

341
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:47,039
feel like they're pointing out for us is that no one would install a gt 1030 on a

342
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:49,760
2 000 7980 xc18 car extreme edition

343
00:23:47,039 --> 00:23:56,000
um but the problem is that if we use anything else

344
00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:58,320
we lose track of the difference between

345
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:02,159
these graphics cards because what might happen is the higher end ones might end

346
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:07,039
up bottlenecked so it doesn't give you a clear idea of the value per dollar

347
00:24:05,679 --> 00:24:11,679
prospect of each card you're trying to remove the

348
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:15,600
CPU as a variable altogether yes so it's as fast as possible

349
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:24,320
now with that said it is possible that in the kind of system

350
00:24:21,919 --> 00:24:28,320
someone might install one of these in you might not see

351
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:32,480
as much of a difference but i think you would probably see a difference

352
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:37,440
especially because GPU memory has an impact on the GPU's ability to load in

353
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:41,679
textures for example so it might affect the detail level that you can run at

354
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:47,120
now this is a complete this might be completely not even ignorant but

355
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:50,080
does the type of memory impact the TDP

356
00:24:47,120 --> 00:24:55,679
of the graphics card so it depends it depends on the clock speed it's running

357
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:57,039
at it depends on the um

358
00:24:55,679 --> 00:25:02,080
i think it yeah it depends how many chips you're running it depends on um

359
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:05,919
yeah mainly that depends on the yeah it depends on the tech that's being used

360
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:10,960
so you could also make an argument that it's better to have a lower TDP

361
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:14,400
GPU like and if you're looking to get a 1030 and the kind of system that's going

362
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:18,320
to run it you might actually want that lower TDP more than you want the extra

363
00:25:17,039 --> 00:25:21,840
memory so that is possible

364
00:25:21,919 --> 00:25:31,279
but in that case what i'd like to see is a separate sku i ended up arguing with

365
00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:33,279
sapphire um on the phone about

366
00:25:31,279 --> 00:25:37,039
how old was i supposed to be about 16 years ago but i'm still mad

367
00:25:35,039 --> 00:25:41,559
i ended up arguing with sapphire on the phone and AMD for that matter about a

368
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:46,000
Radeon 9600 that i bought

369
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:48,799
so that should give you guys some idea well i told you how long ago it was

370
00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:54,480
anyway the point is it was a radio 9600 and

371
00:25:51,760 --> 00:26:01,200
it came with a 64 bit i still remember to this day it came with a 64-bit memory

372
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:02,480
bus instead of a 128-bit bus and back

373
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:10,240
then that was a big deal and compared to a 1030 um

374
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:12,240
a 960 was still sort of a somewhat

375
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:17,120
respectable card like if you wanted to play i don't remember if this is sort of era

376
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:21,840
appropriate but i think like sims would have been the kind of thing that my sister might have wanted to run on it

377
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:27,039
that would have made a significant difference and the reason i was mad was

378
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:31,039
that not only was it not marked clearly anywhere on the box

379
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:35,440
what the difference in spec was between this card and the other one the only

380
00:26:33,279 --> 00:26:40,080
place anywhere that i could find this information was on sapphire's website

381
00:26:38,159 --> 00:26:44,640
but not their north american one it was on their european one

382
00:26:41,919 --> 00:26:49,600
wow so i had to go all the way out of my own territory online

383
00:26:47,279 --> 00:26:53,760
in order to find out that this card was not the same thing and it was like

384
00:26:51,279 --> 00:27:00,159
hidden like way down somewhere and this was at a time when manufacturers were

385
00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:02,559
often doing like sc editions of cards

386
00:27:00,159 --> 00:27:05,360
special edition or second edition but what the community nicknamed these

387
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:09,279
things was slow edition because a lot of the time they were cut down because of

388
00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:11,760
yields so like they had a bunch of scrap chips that they had to do something with

389
00:27:10,559 --> 00:27:16,640
so they'd like you know cut down the memory bus or they'd just do something else like that

390
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:21,760
um and that's the point that people are bringing up this this time you know what's the difference between this and

391
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:26,880
like 1080 ti it's just but the thing is they don't put the

392
00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:30,640
these other letters these qualifiers front and center on the box in this case

393
00:27:29,039 --> 00:27:34,559
this is way down the line in the product description it's a it's a description of

394
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:40,480
the memory it's not up front right beside the 1030. yeah they do put d4 in

395
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:45,120
the description but it's not a 1030 d4 it's way way way way down there

396
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:50,400
so i find it really frustrating but NVIDIA seems to be

397
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:55,039
rather than having taken our feedback and a lot of other members of the press

398
00:27:51,919 --> 00:27:56,000
feedback to heart about the 1063 gig

399
00:27:55,039 --> 00:28:00,720
which is more than just a 1060 with three gigs of

400
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:06,399
RAM or i should say less it's actually slower as well they seem to have taken

401
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:08,000
all the feedback that we gave them and

402
00:28:06,399 --> 00:28:11,679
crumpled it up and thrown it in a fire because here they are doing it again and

403
00:28:09,679 --> 00:28:15,520
it's only been a few months so what i worry about is that if we don't call

404
00:28:14,159 --> 00:28:20,960
them out on this it's going to be something that we're going to continue to see happen

405
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:24,240
and that's not what we need you don't want to have to walk like

406
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:30,720
remember guys this is the same company that brought you green light

407
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:34,480
that brought you a program that restricted their partner's abilities to

408
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:38,799
pre-overclock their cards to differentiate them

409
00:28:37,039 --> 00:28:44,000
supposedly to reduce confusion like that's why they have all these branding initiatives and stuff like that

410
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:48,399
oh oh not to mention GeForce partner program we want to reduce confusion do

411
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:52,240
you want to reduce confusion or do you just want the right type of control

412
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:55,600
right so it's good for their business interests so it doesn't matter

413
00:28:54,080 --> 00:29:00,399
a lot of people won't notice anyway i won't know so just let it kind of slip

414
00:28:58,399 --> 00:29:04,880
by uh this is great sparky sparkle man 55

415
00:29:03,039 --> 00:29:08,559
says rip i got the notification a half hour late no no we were just a half hour

416
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:13,440
late unless you just got it now

417
00:29:11,279 --> 00:29:17,600
yeah where the ones ripped so i guess i don't really have

418
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:20,480
a ton more to add i mean this this is really frustrating

419
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:27,120
you've got you've got a note in here some of the listed documentation does show two different core names gp 108 300

420
00:29:24,799 --> 00:29:30,159
versus gp 108 310 um

421
00:29:28,159 --> 00:29:36,159
but the whole thing is very confusing and the oh this oh this was what i ended

422
00:29:32,559 --> 00:29:38,640
up yelling at AMD about 16 years ago AMD

423
00:29:36,159 --> 00:29:43,520
on their website because remember this was not an AMD card technically it was a

424
00:29:40,799 --> 00:29:47,120
sapphire card as if AMD didn't send them the friggin chips

425
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:51,440
AMD's own website had no mention whatsoever of a 64-bit memory bus

426
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:55,840
variant of this card so in this case once again just washing

427
00:29:53,679 --> 00:30:02,159
their hands of it the official NVIDIA GeForce gt 1030 product page mentions

428
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,159
nothing about this change

429
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:09,120
so how can you how can you how can you advocate for less consumer

430
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:13,760
confusion when you're running around enabling your

431
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:16,799
partners to release products even if you technically not your product or whatever

432
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:20,399
the defense would be how can you be running around enabling partners to

433
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:23,520
create products based on your products that you don't even list on your website

434
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:28,640
especially going forward when those partners are part of the

435
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,640
GeForce partner program

436
00:30:31,279 --> 00:30:37,840
very very frustrating all right do you also feel passionately

437
00:30:35,679 --> 00:30:40,159
about this spectre business um

438
00:30:38,799 --> 00:30:42,880
i can't imagine that you feel as passionate about it

439
00:30:43,279 --> 00:30:51,840
what i really feel passionate about is

440
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,840
eating savage jerky i know

441
00:30:52,159 --> 00:30:56,720
in my head i was like he wouldn't

442
00:30:55,360 --> 00:31:01,919
he couldn't god damn it she did

443
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:06,080
savage jerky is a tasty snack that's not bad for you

444
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:10,880
it's made with the best ingredients without nitrates or preservatives and

445
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:14,559
their goal was to well create a snack that's full of flavor and not bad for

446
00:31:12,399 --> 00:31:18,720
you which i think i already said i got my talking points mixed up here they've

447
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:23,039
got 13 different flavors of jerky uh some of the fan favorites are the

448
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:26,720
sriracha bacon um my personal favorite is the maple buffalo bacon i gave it to

449
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:30,320
someone else to try like two weeks ago and they were like eh but whatever i

450
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:34,000
like it i don't care more for you man more for me there's probably john he's

451
00:31:32,159 --> 00:31:38,480
not canadian not that i don't understand maple not that i was gonna share it with

452
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:40,320
anybody anyway so so whatever uh these

453
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:46,399
uh cracked pepper and sea salt is really good the traditional is really good the

454
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:48,000
uh anything moho is really good

455
00:31:46,399 --> 00:31:52,000
you're a vegetarian i want to check out the label and stuff oh okay

456
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:55,200
and why not show off a different flavor fine you can show off whatever flavor

457
00:31:53,360 --> 00:32:00,159
you want you can have the whole box so they not only make beer jerky they've

458
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:03,360
got hot sauces barbecue sauce as a spice rub

459
00:32:01,039 --> 00:32:08,240
jacked i never get anything you're not supposed to get any

460
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:11,600
well this bag is fine take it this bag's been open for over a week but you don't

461
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:16,080
get to complain when i take your m ms anymore i don't well it's just that you

462
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:19,279
do it all the time okay actually i don't eat eminence anymore i eat trail mix you

463
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:22,559
take that all the time yeah but you don't get to complain when i pick the m

464
00:32:20,799 --> 00:32:26,799
m's out of your trail mix i think he's pretty generous he's giving

465
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:32,720
me m m's without me even asking before so use offer code LTT to save 10

466
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,720
on savage jerky products

467
00:32:34,399 --> 00:32:39,840
next up we've got honey

468
00:32:38,399 --> 00:32:43,360
so when you shop online are you the kind of

469
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:49,200
person who suddenly turns into a tab hoarder yeah it turns into sure um

470
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:53,600
loading dozens and dozens of new tabs middle click really is like the bomb

471
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:57,440
what is that you middle click to open in a new tab you mean like click the mouse

472
00:32:55,279 --> 00:33:02,240
wheel yeah doesn't that just make it like the continuous scrolling thing no

473
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:05,519
what not when you click a link oh you middle click the link yeah you

474
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:09,840
don't know this no i don't know that it's the best that's how i end up with like a hundred

475
00:33:08,159 --> 00:33:14,480
tabs oh i really like that you know what i use a lot ctrl shift t you know what

476
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:19,519
that is reopen close tab oh no i just never

477
00:33:17,279 --> 00:33:22,799
closed them it's far better so anyway

478
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:26,880
one of the reasons you might end up with a bunch of tabs is searching for promo

479
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:30,159
codes hopefully at least one that actually

480
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:36,080
works and you don't want to close any of them because you might have to go back and

481
00:33:34,159 --> 00:33:40,080
you know try them again or try them on a different product or whatever the case may be well honey

482
00:33:38,399 --> 00:33:43,679
gets rid of all that honey is the free browser add-on that over nine million

483
00:33:42,159 --> 00:33:47,440
people are using every day to save money while they shop online

484
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:51,919
in two clicks you can add honey to any browser for free then shop like you

485
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:55,760
normally do honey scans and tests millions of coupons in the background

486
00:33:53,840 --> 00:34:00,320
then at checkout honey automatically applies the best coupon i said 9 million

487
00:33:58,159 --> 00:34:03,279
i felt like a sucker time magazine calls honey basically free money what am i

488
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:08,960

498
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:44,720
can put an end to that whole hey did you get that invoice i sent

499
00:34:44,879 --> 00:34:51,919
wow you're really not going to help me out here this is what they do they stare blankly i see what invoice Linus i

00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:26,800
all right what topic do you want to do next

508
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:29,520
oh my oh can we do this one

509
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:34,720
okay i'm sorry okay but the thing is only part of this is news

510
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:38,640
all right fine we'll do your stupid ps5 thing no this is good i didn't want to talk about this no i'm already i'm

511
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:42,720
already screen sharing the original article here from express.co.uk ps5

512
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:48,079
rumors are it might come out this christmas a lot of people think those rumors are dumb so this started on a

513
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:52,640
website uh called what is it called the

514
00:35:50,720 --> 00:35:56,800
situation or we're gonna have to stop calling you lazy semi accurate we're gonna have to

515
00:35:55,359 --> 00:36:00,800
go with we're gonna have to go with savage james

516
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:05,839
here have some savage jerky that was savage uh okay so i actually

517
00:36:03,359 --> 00:36:10,480
this this website has a great name in this context semiaccurate.com

518
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:15,839
behind a one thousand dollar per year paywall or 100 a year for students this

519
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:19,680
website published an article with allegedly legit information claiming

520
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:23,440
that the playstation 5 was going to come out this holiday season which is a lot

521
00:36:21,359 --> 00:36:27,599
sooner than people would think considering that the ps4 pro came out

522
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:31,200
only two years ago and the ps4 itself only came out five years ago and when

523
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:34,880
traditionally the launch cycles of these things have been

524
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:37,680
about seven years between the three and four

525
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:40,880
uh so people think that you can

526
00:36:39,359 --> 00:36:45,119
sony can make a lot more money off the ps4 pro still

527
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,920
the like that can become the de facto like normal default playstation for

528
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:52,560
people and they can start to push the price down to like 250 bucks they don't

529
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:57,839
need to release the new playstation just yet

530
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:59,359
ps4 pro was two years ago

531
00:36:57,839 --> 00:37:03,520
yeah bro see the older you get the faster time

532
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:07,040
goes what because each year of your life is a

533
00:37:05,119 --> 00:37:12,079
smaller proportion of your life no it was a year and a half

534
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:16,720
huh okay oh okay i should have written the months in

535
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:20,720
oh okay no no but by the time this launched in the at christmas it would be

536
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:24,000
two years oh i see your point okay okay okay

537
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:27,920
so here's okay do you want to go through the

538
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:31,680
rumored specs first sure it's gonna be AMD again the

539
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:34,560
platform like the architecture is navi it's gonna be eight cores and i actually

540
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:40,880
have a question about that if we get to it yeah it's gonna have a strong emphasis on vr support

541
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:43,760
that some discussion there you know they have to make certain considerations and

542
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:48,320
decisions uh to include that and maybe no one

543
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:52,320
cares but maybe no one cares if there's no good vr yet and this is a chicken and

544
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:57,040
egg thing they did recently drop the price of the psvr

545
00:37:54,240 --> 00:38:02,720
but i i don't know what my understanding is that the psvr is the best-selling

546
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:04,240
gaming uh vr headset but i also don't

547
00:38:02,720 --> 00:38:09,440
know if that's meeting sony's expectations in terms of how many they

548
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:12,720
have to sell in order to support it it's uh i think at this point it's a

549
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:16,880
rising tide lifts all boats thing with vr

550
00:38:14,240 --> 00:38:20,079
it's a setup for future profits uh what else do we know about this thing we know

551
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:23,119
that the CPU would be rumored to be zen based although

552
00:38:21,599 --> 00:38:28,560
we could pretty much take for granted that any future custom soc that AMD would

553
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:32,960
produce for whether it's microsoft or sony would hopefully be zen based at

554
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:39,520
this point so here's my question and again noob question maybe

555
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:42,240
on the pc in the realm of pc gaming

556
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:46,640
prior to ryzen and coffee lake for sure single threaded all the games and

557
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:50,880
engines and all that apis are optimized for single threaded right

558
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:56,240
so depends mostly

559
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:59,119
strongly it strongly depends so some of them

560
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:04,560
basically since we started getting dual cores which

561
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:09,440
was actually uh a really long time ago now

562
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:14,400
which is sort of terrible at least 10 years more than that yeah you're in

563
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:17,119
laptops 10 years ago q6600 i remember buying

564
00:39:15,359 --> 00:39:21,040
our q 6600 engineering sample

565
00:39:19,839 --> 00:39:23,839
which technically you're neither supposed to buy nor sell

566
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:29,359
um from my old boss at ncix

567
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:32,560
back in 2007. so yes

568
00:39:29,359 --> 00:39:34,560
quad core and that was a like 600 700

569
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:40,560
CPU so that was like the first non-extreme edition quad core

570
00:39:38,240 --> 00:39:44,960
but certainly not mainstream yet dennis just walked by with an eggplant so we've

571
00:39:42,720 --> 00:39:44,960
got

572
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:53,839
that so we've had quad cores on the desktop

573
00:39:51,119 --> 00:39:58,880
for 10 years and that chip later dropped in price i think probably about

574
00:39:56,720 --> 00:40:05,520
eight months to eight to 12 months later and became far more accessible

575
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:07,359
so ever since then we have seen an

576
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:11,520
onward march towards supporting more cores now in the early days the support

577
00:40:09,359 --> 00:40:16,960
was fairly rudimentary like you would have one core dedicated to like

578
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:22,079
mostly the entire game and then you'd have another one that handled

579
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:24,960
like maybe enemy ai like like like one

580
00:40:22,079 --> 00:40:28,079
thing okay it'd be offloaded but over time they got

581
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:33,839
to supporting more and more and more threads natively and i believe crisis

582
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:36,160
three supports something like four

583
00:40:33,839 --> 00:40:40,800
well the why is it then when ryzen came out and it had all these cores

584
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:44,640
everyone was stoked on it and in theory the performance should

585
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:48,320
be a lot of these Intel skus it didn't and it was because we had to

586
00:40:46,079 --> 00:40:52,320
wait for the game developers to optimize their games and the apis for quality

587
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:56,160
core okay so there were a couple of things that happened um first of all

588
00:40:54,720 --> 00:40:59,760
a lot of the things that people were excited about with ryzen and about

589
00:40:57,839 --> 00:41:04,560
multi-core on ryzen well actually i think it's mainly two things one is that

590
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:10,240
AMD depending on how you look at it

591
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:13,200
and it's complicated but AMD wasn't that

592
00:41:10,240 --> 00:41:18,960
far behind Intel for gaming in a from a certain point of view as

593
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:20,880
obi-wan might put it um because at the

594
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:24,960
resolutions that you would be likely to run games at so higher resolution with

595
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:30,960
higher details you'd be more likely to hit a GPU bottleneck than a CPU one

596
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:32,319
so in that sense AMD cpus weren't that

597
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:35,920
far off unless you did want to turn down your

598
00:41:34,319 --> 00:41:40,400
details to get higher frame rates because you were a competitive player

599
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:43,599
or unless you were um

600
00:41:41,599 --> 00:41:47,520
you cared about your power consumption because they did consume a lot more

601
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:51,359
power before zen or if you wanted more up-to-date

602
00:41:49,359 --> 00:41:55,440
features on the platform because by the end of it like those boards were looking

603
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:58,560
pretty dated in terms of their feature sets so there were lots of other things

604
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:01,760
let me fully actually finish the question the final clause of

605
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:06,880
the question is given that in the pc side

606
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:11,520
it's so weird that in the comp console side you've got these

607
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:15,040
multi-core AMD chips like ruling the roost on like all

608
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:20,800
the consoles so are game developers taking different

609
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:24,160
approaches on console and pc so okay

610
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,160
so

611
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:30,880
back to your question the things people were excited about AMD having better

612
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:34,720
single threaded performance for gaming and AMD having multi-threaded

613
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:38,160
performance for other workloads and also to put pressure

614
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:42,319
on Intel because that's what Intel did right they

615
00:42:40,079 --> 00:42:46,720
launched quad core on the desktop back in like 2006

616
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:51,119
and it was quad core on the desktop up until

617
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:52,240
2000 and in one six

618
00:42:51,119 --> 00:42:57,839
that was pretty much it unless you wanted to sprint there were six there were six core AMD

619
00:42:56,079 --> 00:43:01,920
cpus and like two no but i mean on the Intel side yeah yeah okay the thing about those six core AMD processors

620
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:06,000
though is that they didn't threaten Intel even with six cores they weren't

621
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:08,480
competitive with Intel's own quad cores that they could turn out so it didn't so

622
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:14,800
it wasn't really relevant and they sucked more power they didn't overclock there was there was a bunch of things so

623
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:19,760
people were excited because zen would bring more competition to the

624
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:24,880
market now getting back to AMD's previous course not necessarily being

625
00:43:22,720 --> 00:43:29,440
that underpowered for gaming well that's what you're seeing on the game consoles

626
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:33,040
so because the game developers know exactly what hardware they're optimizing

627
00:43:31,119 --> 00:43:36,800
for they can go okay we're gonna have exactly this oh right

628
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:40,720
the other issue with zen performance on the desktop in games was actually more

629
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:46,000
software and firmware related there were scheduler issues with Windows um and

630
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:52,000
there were i mean any new CPU it's kind of like why i put um

631
00:43:49,599 --> 00:43:55,520
uh what was the what was the not set of the

632
00:43:52,839 --> 00:43:59,839
6950xs in the editing machines like three weeks before the new 18 core

633
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:02,640
flagship came out the reason is that anytime you have a new CPU launch

634
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:07,119
whether it's AMD or Intel and particularly on this last round where

635
00:44:04,720 --> 00:44:10,960
both amt and Intel were guilty of pulling up their launches

636
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:15,119
just to like just to have something out there and them being not quite 100

637
00:44:13,359 --> 00:44:18,480
polished anytime you have a new CPU you're gonna

638
00:44:16,720 --> 00:44:23,280
have some some issues and um that was a big part of what affected

639
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:28,160
gaming performance on the desktop and sometimes game developers did have to

640
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:31,839
optimize because even though it's x86

641
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:33,760
it's it's not like a new CPU is just

642
00:44:31,839 --> 00:44:36,720
the old CPU but like with a trogdor

643
00:44:38,319 --> 00:44:43,839
like it's actually different

644
00:44:41,839 --> 00:44:47,119
and so if you gave even a let's say you gave a professional driver

645
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:50,560
um and i don't i don't know cars but so

646
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:56,880
you'll have to forgive me but let's say you gave them a bugatti and a

647
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:59,599
lamborghini a some model x and y and you

648
00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:03,040
were like okay get the best track time on this track

649
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:06,319
it would take them a little while if they switched from this one to that one

650
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:11,520
to learn the best way to do it even if this one was more powerful like they are

651
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:13,839
they're div they're different machines so

652
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:17,599
coming back to consoles this has been a very sort of winding topic here um

653
00:45:16,720 --> 00:45:22,960
they know exactly what they're optimizing for they don't have to make any guesses

654
00:45:20,720 --> 00:45:26,079
and they are going to run the game in such a way and they're

655
00:45:24,720 --> 00:45:31,599
going to optimize the game in such a way that you aren't going to run out of CPU resources also by the end of AMD's

656
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:35,760
non-zen course while the performance wasn't great their power efficiency was

657
00:45:34,079 --> 00:45:39,359
getting a lot better so they take this good power efficiency

658
00:45:37,599 --> 00:45:43,520
and they've got four kind of like good enough cores and they've got developers

659
00:45:41,839 --> 00:45:46,880
who know that they can split it up exactly in this way because it's going

660
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:50,880
to run on four course there's not going to be some yahoo out there running a

661
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:55,119
dual core because Intel still has dual cores for some reason

662
00:45:54,240 --> 00:46:00,480
um and they can and they can split it up that way to make the best possible use

663
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:03,520
of the quad core and then the GPU well they can push the game's visual effects

664
00:46:02,319 --> 00:46:08,720
to the max so that they can run into a GPU bottleneck rather than a CPU one also

665
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:13,119
it's a console it's gonna run on a tv it doesn't have to run higher than 60fps

666
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:16,880
anyway cool i get it there's the long the very very long answer hopefully that

667
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:22,319
was finished you're bacon you've been well so good talking with your hands way

668
00:46:19,119 --> 00:46:24,640
too much to still be holding that

669
00:46:22,319 --> 00:46:28,880
bacon so please and now to circle all the way back to the beginning

670
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:34,960
in your opinion is the ps5 coming out in 2018

671
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:36,720
even if it's december 31st

672
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:41,599
okay consider that when the ps4 i think was it pro

673
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:47,599
came out which it was it was either the pro or the ps4 it came out in november and we

674
00:46:45,119 --> 00:46:50,640
knew about it february of that year if this is going to come out on the

675
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:53,920
holiday april yep yeah we're two months beyond that this now it probably would

676
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:58,720
be launching in november if they're trying to make the holiday yeah

677
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:02,640
so that's a short media window to get the media hype running so do you think

678
00:47:00,720 --> 00:47:06,400
it's coming out this year so normally i would say absolutely not and the reason

679
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:11,440
is that up until now every playstation

680
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:17,040
whether it was emotion or whether it was cell or whether it was a move to jaguar

681
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:22,960
every playstation has been architecturally dramatically different

682
00:47:20,240 --> 00:47:27,200
totally different so if you told me in april there's a

683
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:30,720
playstation coming in november i'd tell you to go take a long walk off a short

684
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:35,920
pier because you're an idiot because there's no way that in what what does

685
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:39,760
that work out to seven months there's no way that in seven months

686
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:44,800
anyone is going to have launch titles ready because they're going to have to

687
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:46,079
completely re like recode aspects of

688
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:49,200
these games in order to run on this new machine the developer things are already

689
00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:54,400
out there okay that is known okay so that we know but

690
00:47:52,240 --> 00:47:57,359
even then like i'm saying there's still no way that seven months would be even

691
00:47:55,920 --> 00:48:00,319
close like a modern triple a game remember you can't launch a console

692
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:03,760
without uh unless you're nintendo

693
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:10,319
at least a couple triple a tier games

694
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:14,560
and those take literally years to develop and it's not going to be

695
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:19,359
it's not going to be good enough to just take some existing titles and go now at

696
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:23,839
you know 4k with better details or whatever else if if people were really

697
00:48:21,359 --> 00:48:28,800
into that they'd go buy a pc however because a playstation 5 would be

698
00:48:27,839 --> 00:48:34,079
just playstation 4 on steroids

699
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:39,359
with zen course which is going to make a big difference that's going to be like

700
00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:42,000
really nice and then presumably and it

701
00:48:39,359 --> 00:48:46,079
says navi based graphics which would be again very nice remember this is not

702
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:48,480
vega this is a new architecture past vega

703
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:54,800
um because it would be just like that on steroids new architectures but much more

704
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:58,880
powerful ones but still fundamentally x86 and uh

705
00:48:57,599 --> 00:49:05,359
crap what does AMD call their thing again so what you're saying is a gcn it's kind

706
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:07,359
of like psccn anymore

707
00:49:05,359 --> 00:49:11,599
anyway you're saying it's kind of like ps4 pro pro

708
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:15,040
yeah like but way more pro because the ps4 pro relied on crossfire which was a

709
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:18,880
bad approach um i think actually your theory we might

710
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:24,000
have some credence given that one of the other leaked bullet points here is that

711
00:49:21,839 --> 00:49:29,040
the ps5 would be backwards compatible with ps4 pro titles why not

712
00:49:27,119 --> 00:49:32,880
yeah it might as well be right because it's

713
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:35,440
fundamentally pretty similar in terms of the hardware

714
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:40,800
and so you've got you go you go

715
00:49:38,240 --> 00:49:44,960
this site semi-accurate um you haven't heard of it apparently but

716
00:49:42,559 --> 00:49:49,040
i've been following charlie i don't remember how to pronounce dimerajin jim

717
00:49:46,720 --> 00:49:54,640
murray jane whatever charlie i've been following charlie since about

718
00:49:52,240 --> 00:49:58,480
2002 back when he used to work at the inquirer

719
00:49:55,760 --> 00:50:06,160
um not the national enquirer the enquirer and back then the inquirer was

720
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:10,839
the bomb for industry leaks they they do have a track record of of being

721
00:50:08,079 --> 00:50:15,760
prescient and accurately leaking specifically console related

722
00:50:14,319 --> 00:50:21,359
leaks in the past now i've been wrong a couple times with something i can suggest why that might be

723
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:24,559
um see okay

724
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:28,800
and it makes me a little uncomfortable because i've never really talked to

725
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:32,960
charlie much so i don't want to like talk about him when i don't actually

726
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:38,480
know him that well but what i can say is that i do know that i've never seen him

727
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:41,599
at an industry event that isn't an AMD one

728
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:46,880
okay so what i can

729
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:50,240
extrapolate from that particular data point

730
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:57,440
is that if AMD talks to him and no one else does

731
00:50:53,839 --> 00:50:58,960
and he gets industry information somehow

732
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:02,720
okay that maybe he's getting his information from

733
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:10,000
that's pretty interesting contacts at AMD and if he would be if he has a track

734
00:51:06,079 --> 00:51:10,960
record of leaking console news

735
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:17,440
which AMD has their hardware in up until the

736
00:51:14,240 --> 00:51:18,480
switch had their hardware in all three

737
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:23,280
um that would align with my guesses as to

738
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:26,880
where his sources might be from

739
00:51:24,720 --> 00:51:31,119
so that to me adds some credibility because over the

740
00:51:28,720 --> 00:51:34,839
years charlie has taken a lot of flack for saying a lot of stuff that didn't

741
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:40,400
turn out to be true but

742
00:51:36,720 --> 00:51:42,480
as a reader of his over the years who

743
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:48,079
you know takes rumors with the grain of salt you pay the thousand dollars a year

744
00:51:44,079 --> 00:51:50,480
no okay no i i i i read before

745
00:51:48,079 --> 00:51:54,079
i read before he put up the paywall so but as someone who's kind of paid

746
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:58,160
attention to his career he's been right enough that if you read with the

747
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:02,079
grain of salt that you should take rumors with in the first place and he

748
00:52:00,559 --> 00:52:06,800
called the site semi accurate i mean what more do you want um

749
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:09,760
he's offered a lot of insight over the years

750
00:52:08,079 --> 00:52:14,960
that's what all that's what i'll say so all right i'm not saying yeah there's

751
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:19,040
gonna be a ps5 but i would suggest that

752
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:21,440
this might be why um sony hasn't had a

753
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:24,319
response to the xbox one x yet and

754
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:30,000
this might have been a good move for them to let microsoft launch the one x a few

755
00:52:27,839 --> 00:52:34,480
months ago and then say okay you know what we're gonna miss out on having the

756
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:39,359
crown for like a year but realistically microsoft can't run out

757
00:52:36,720 --> 00:52:41,599
and release a new xbox again

758
00:52:40,720 --> 00:52:47,280
so we're giving up this year now of console

759
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:51,440
you know thrown them but we should have a year or maybe more than that afterward

760
00:52:49,359 --> 00:52:56,000
while microsoft responds yeah they want to wait until the ps4 pro sales have

761
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:59,920
peaked and are starting to taper off but also enough time

762
00:52:58,079 --> 00:53:05,440
so people through some people who bought a ps4 pro

763
00:53:01,839 --> 00:53:06,880
will also buy a ps5 at launch

764
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:10,960
obviously not everyone's gonna do that another major factor is that they're

765
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:14,720
they're at AMD's mercy here they can't release a faster console until AMD

766
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:17,520
releases a faster freaking piece of hardware

767
00:53:16,079 --> 00:53:22,559
so that custom soc design process takes

768
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:26,319
time and you can't start that process until

769
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:31,839
the individual components of it so both the CPU and GPU are at least somewhat

770
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:36,800
finalized so this that looks i mean that timeline sounds not that you know what

771
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:39,760
the more we talk about this i'm going with it

772
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:44,800
ps5 this q4 it's on put your balls on the

773
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:48,960
table there you go bet something um so the bet would be either it's coming

774
00:53:46,720 --> 00:53:52,480
out holiday season or it's being announced at e3

775
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:57,359
next june um or i guess this june yeah i don't

776
00:53:55,680 --> 00:54:01,280
know i'm gonna say i'm gonna say it's coming holiday season i don't know exactly how

777
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:04,640
they're gonna handle the hype leading up to the release but you know what i'm in

778
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:08,160
when are they gonna announce it they can't wait till e3 at june that's could

779
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:12,960
they yeah they could yeah that gives them like a few months do they need to announce it at a conference or or an

780
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:16,559
event or can they just launch it more and more companies excuse

781
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:19,760
me i mean announce it microsoft did this for the xbox one

782
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:23,119
more and more companies are just doing an apple style

783
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:25,760
uh like conference they're just doing you know what

784
00:54:24,720 --> 00:54:28,880
forget it we're not going to announce things at ces or computex or e3 or

785
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:34,240
whatever we'll do our world of our own party but they do it apple does it at their own conference every year exactly

786
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:37,119
but does sony have one of those um i don't know if sony's done that but more

787
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:40,160
and more companies are trying to do this so yeah let's find out

788
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:45,599
maybe they maybe they'll just do their own thing

789
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:48,000
i'm seeing ces 73

790
00:54:45,599 --> 00:54:52,559
you never know wc speaking of things you never know you never know when big

791
00:54:50,319 --> 00:54:56,000
brother is watching the original article here is from cnet sorry for the abrupt

792
00:54:54,720 --> 00:54:59,440
change in topics but i really want to cover this and it's like 20 after six

793
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:02,640
already and i really want to talk about this

794
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:08,559
i am going to shenzhen on monday

795
00:55:06,559 --> 00:55:14,960
so an ai company that works with shenzhen police is creating a system

796
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:17,440
that will use cctv cameras to identify

797
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:20,720
jaywalkers and send them a fine via a messaging app

798
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:27,680
okay so full disclosure here that's cnet articles from july 2017

799
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:30,480
because this is the fact that people's uh are getting

800
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:34,720
in trouble like their faces are being projected onto a giant billboard in real

801
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:39,200
time because these facial recognition equipped cameras are watching them

802
00:55:36,720 --> 00:55:44,559
jaywalk that's old news that that's been since last summer the new

803
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:46,640
update now is that if that happens to

804
00:55:44,559 --> 00:55:50,880
you you might just get an sms that's like here's your fine bud click through

805
00:55:48,319 --> 00:55:55,040
and pay it could be sms could be in wechat which is

806
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:58,880
i guess guess compared to chinese whatsapp

807
00:55:56,640 --> 00:56:03,599
so over 10 months ending in february of this year these boards that they created

808
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:08,720
displayed thirteen thousand nine hundred and thirty jaywalker faces

809
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:12,400
it's like a like a public shaming thing yeah well apparently jaywalking is a

810
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:16,240
bigger deal in china than it is over here i can kind of see that there's more

811
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:21,359
people they have a different attitude both the pedestrians have a different

812
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:23,359
attitude to the law according to chinese

813
00:56:21,359 --> 00:56:28,720
political party opinion anyway and drivers have a different standpoint to

814
00:56:25,599 --> 00:56:30,880
pedestrian right of way apparently

815
00:56:28,720 --> 00:56:34,799
i saw there's studies where in germany you might only wait 60 seconds to cross

816
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:37,440
the road but in china it might be 90 seconds and that's longer than people

817
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:42,160
who need to wait and even when it's their turn the drivers might still just

818
00:56:39,839 --> 00:56:46,960
drop like not respect their right-of-way anyway so there's a lot of jaywalking

819
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:50,960
and presumably because of the number of people there there's it causes a lot of

820
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:54,480
traffic and bottlenecks so there's a high incentive for for the government to

821
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:58,480
try to work this out so one of the ways they'll de-incentivize people to jaywalk

822
00:56:56,799 --> 00:57:02,400
is by socially shaming them putting their face and their family name by the

823
00:57:00,240 --> 00:57:08,960
way up on a giant billboard that you can see um and now i guess they're attaching

824
00:57:05,839 --> 00:57:10,480
a monetary incentive or de-incentive on

825
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:14,480
that as well i mean this is just so apparently only about 10 of the

826
00:57:12,240 --> 00:57:18,960
population can be identified by the city or by the system in the city of shenzhen

827
00:57:18,079 --> 00:57:24,880
but if you consider that they're already working with

828
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:29,839
third parties like these chat applications to deliver fines presumably

829
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:35,119
they could work with third parties like um

830
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:38,720
crap what's their uh what's their amazon alibaba like they could work with

831
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:43,760
alibaba aliexpress is is part is like yeah but

832
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:46,319
alibaba is like to contact manufacturers not to just buy stuff right you're right

833
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:54,440
um so they could work with um wait hold on a second

834
00:57:50,799 --> 00:57:54,440
oh where's he going

835
00:57:55,440 --> 00:58:01,359
alibaba group chinese multinational yeah no alibaba

836
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:06,559
group not like alibaba.com necessarily okay um anyway so the point is that they

837
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:10,960
could work with companies like that that have or they could work with um

838
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:14,640
chinese phone manufacturers for example that

839
00:58:12,559 --> 00:58:19,520
i'm not going to say who or what they're doing now but have been known in the

840
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:23,440
past to put you know back doors on phones and or share information with the

841
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:27,119
chinese government so they could work with these groups

842
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:32,160
to make the facial recognition just one part of how they identify you so they

843
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:36,880
could monitor where you go what you buy uh who you spend your time with and they

844
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:40,960
could use all of these things to augment their facial recognition technology so

845
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:44,880
that they could actually make a very very good guess

846
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:48,880
as to who you are even if they don't get a

847
00:58:47,359 --> 00:58:54,559
perfect look at your face and where you are they can track you while you're driving your car exactly there are

848
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:56,880
apparently 600 million cctv cameras in china

849
00:58:55,599 --> 00:59:00,960
it's like it's getting to full-on surveillance state

850
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:05,680
and some of these things are positive like there's there's benefits from it um

851
00:59:03,599 --> 00:59:09,359
you can go to certain airports in china and be and not have a boarding pass it's

852
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:14,000
all facial recognition your hands are full of your bags you just walk by the

853
00:59:12,559 --> 00:59:19,200
fl the attendant as you go into the plane like that's pretty sweet wow

854
00:59:17,599 --> 00:59:23,280
maybe they'll get to do that if you're in an airport that has that you should make a video

855
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:29,040
there's no way i would be able to do it because oh yeah yeah that doesn't make any sense in fact the reason why only 10

856
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:34,559
of the population of shenzhen uh gets their faces recognized is because

857
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:37,599
i presumably it's like the database of all the different provinces isn't

858
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:42,799
integrated so if you live in shenzhen but you're from a different province then they just don't have your record

859
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:45,520
available so that's why they think that the number

860
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:50,240
of people who will be susceptible to this tech should

861
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:54,000
go up dramatically once they do get a more broadly based system

862
00:59:52,319 --> 00:59:58,880
in the future all right last topic for the day because

863
00:59:56,400 --> 01:00:02,640
we are not going to stop harping on this at least until you guys get bored of it

864
01:00:03,359 --> 01:00:08,720
more GeForce partner program news

865
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:12,079
ASUS to ares

866
01:00:10,799 --> 01:00:15,440
is it just me or does that sound like kind of like a spanish i'm actually

867
01:00:14,079 --> 01:00:19,280
trying to figure out if it's supposed to be like aries

868
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:24,400
well aries used to be they had aries before with an s on the end what they

869
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:26,240
called their rog AMD based cards so it

870
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:29,040
was at the at the very high end they had mars on the NVIDIA well maybe that's

871
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:36,000
intentional because they're not allowed to say rog anymore they're still saying strix

872
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:40,480
so maybe people will remember that aries was rog because

873
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:44,319
losing rog hurts man like people consumers know what rog is and they want

874
01:00:42,559 --> 01:00:49,520
to buy it which is still bizarre to me because i still remember being just like

875
01:00:46,319 --> 01:00:51,359
baffled and angered by the original

876
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:54,720
implementation of that branding i was just like this is so stupid what does

877
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:59,280
republic of gamers even mean what is this like a place where all the gamers

878
01:00:56,480 --> 01:01:01,040
live you've never been it smells weird but it's pretty dope

879
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:04,799
there

880
01:01:04,799 --> 01:01:10,720
that's what we need as a new sponsor like a deodorant product people's

881
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:15,280
republic the sales pitch writes itself it's like too busy gaming to shower

882
01:01:13,359 --> 01:01:18,160
just use this spray no problem

883
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:25,119
at least for a little while eventually you'll have a problem um

884
01:01:21,359 --> 01:01:28,000
so heuristics ASUS rog strix turns into

885
01:01:25,119 --> 01:01:32,640
ares or ares strix ASUS dual tunes into

886
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:36,720
rs dual ASUS expedition which i've never even

887
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:41,200
heard of before turns into rs expedition it's way out there so not only

888
01:01:39,119 --> 01:01:46,240
do we appear to be losing

889
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:50,799
rog branding it looks like they aren't even putting a seuss branding on the

890
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:56,400
cards that that weirds me out a little bit

891
01:01:54,079 --> 01:02:00,160
isn't that a maybe like at what point is somebody going to leak this freaking

892
01:01:58,559 --> 01:02:05,119
agreement so that we can have a look at it because i'll tell you usually 99 of the time

893
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:10,559
when like you know some controversial document gets leaked or

894
01:02:08,559 --> 01:02:14,240
whatever i'll like read a bunch of articles kind of figure out what the

895
01:02:11,599 --> 01:02:17,760
consensus is and go okay yeah or i might i might read a couple of paragraphs of

896
01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:21,920
the thing if if the GeForce partner program leaked i would read the whole

897
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:25,599
thing like multiple times i i want i want to understand i don't just want to

898
01:02:23,599 --> 01:02:29,839
see what's in there i want to understand what's in there because this sounds like

899
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:33,680
a scary freaking document well in the original uh

900
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:38,000
what's the site that leaked it hard ocp right in that original blog post

901
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:44,000
or article he uh

902
01:02:40,079 --> 01:02:44,000
wondered if it was actually legal

903
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:50,079
