all right guys it's oh I don't hear the any audio that could be a bad sign or it
could be oh that's weird I don't hear anything
because my computer is muted yeah dog
does that mean it's muted for them too uh sometimes that's what that means yeah
well I guess we're about to find out aren't we maybe no one heard anything
all right guys it's w show time again yeah no things are working everything is
working everything is fine welcome to the W show where everything is fine and
everything is good except our video capture cards is the Youtube upload muted then
no it's fine I just checked it yes everything is fine everything is
wonderful Everything is Awesome we should just sing that song for an hour
and a half copyrights all over the place well everything is awesome well we could
sing it for an hour and a quarter because we're 15 minutes late sorry guys
we're here so we've got a great show for you guys today steam has introduced
broadcasting in a way that I actually think is much more organic and much
closer to the more traditional like
watching your buddy play video games kind of thing that even services like
twitch TV were kind of modeled after so more on that later also AT&T is
wondering why exactly 6 megabit is you
know not that great and a gigabit is much better I don't know AT&T because
everything's not awesome uh cap impression Capa is dead can we make like
AT&T bird like we should have a shirt that's just like a blue and white bird
with his head like this why is that
better why is 10 higher than five the the ISP bird can you prove that I don't
think you should be able to build fiber here because I don't want you to um
capture is possibly dead meet no capture by Google which again we'll just talk
about that later mouse movements and stuff and then he stole my thing again
and then I for no we're good gangdam style hit an integer cap in terms of
views so things are happening and things are changing and it's crazy and we'll
talk about more views than anyone from YouTube ever thought was
possible lus Tech tips
Edition yeah we've never done that no in fact we have very few videos that are
anywhere near any kind of impressive view Camp whatsoever yes we only have
like half a dozen videos that have over a million views and one's a fire truck
and one's a fire track that one has 3
million should review like an actual fir
truck that would be a great followup unboxing a fir Truck Yeah so we've got a
few great sponsors for you guys today number one is everybody's favorite
sponsor Squarespace or at least your favorite
sponsor if you're into building beautiful websites very easily
squarespace.com offer Cod L also the Intel extreme Masters is
going on in San Jose so visit lusch
tips.com for details about what Intel is going to be up to at this event and
finally whoa is that a new sponsor Wow have we have we done Loot Crate before
let's see how hard I screw up everything and then everyone will sign up for Loot
Crate if 54 is anything to go by seriously like every time I screw up a
54 integration and it's not that I'm doing it on purpose trust me I it's
Nick's fault we need to get like a I blame Nick Nick is going to hate you for
that if we could get like affordable
grocery food style not like pizza but like grocery food style I think we could
basically round out everything that you would need to do other than go to work
so if someone was able to then get a work atome job we with with the sponsor
lineup that we have we might be able to enable it so they would never have to
leave their house is this good or bad I'm not sure don't know yeah me neither
all right so why don't we launch into our first topic for the day uh this one
this one's pretty much a complete stroke of Genius so I'm just going to copy copy
the link here I'm going to see if I'm oh I am not logged into twitch because for
some reason oh don't you guys hate this
you know okay sorry we're not going to do a topic right now we are going to do
a rant and this happens on computers it
happens on phones yes I am going
there why why is text input ever ever slower
than my fingers and I apologize to the headphone users because oh they just got
wrecked I'm pretty sure I just destroyed you all okay I'm going to have to move
back for the rest of this topic because I don't understand why in the time that
I've been using computers okay you probably got close I don't care in the
time that I've been using computers they have increased in power
exponentially and yet somehow my fingers
are still faster you know what Microsoft
Apple Google all of you get your crap
together the keyboard input is the most
important thing everything else that
stupid audio ad running on some website
in a tab that I can't find is not as
important as the keyboard input it
should never be slow so that's what I've got to say about that and it's working
now I just saw him go through that and every single time what okay at the I
hate it and I'm completely on board with you that rant was brilliant all good
everything I'm cool with r was brilliant you're fired for sucking up but what's
actually kind of entertaining is when it lags on your phone and you're like okay
can I do this and you got to try and get like the whole like long sentence out
and then wait wait wait and then see it just go and do all of it and if you see any
errors you're like ah no the reason I'm so mad about that is not just right now
but the mac's been doing it yeah and I know it only has 8 gigs of RAM and and
like I am a tab fiend and I really need to get that 32 gigs of RAM in there like
I I know I have to do these things he's the worst tab I've ever but text is text
input is always more important than anything else if you have to reserve 16
kilobytes of RAM that's needed for that then you deserve it you do what you got
to do I shouldn't have to like the Mac
has been really bad the worst I've ever seen like I'll be typing if you type it
in and then it pauses and then fills out what you typed in later it's technically
sitting in memory right so the Mac
actually will lose the middle of what I typed so if I type like 10 words it'll
go can't keep up oh I'm sorry at the end
and I have to fill back in the middle and I have to wait around to fill back
in the middle that's not good it's driving me bananas yep y that's not okay
that's super bad so now I don't even I
have no idea what I was supposed to be talking we talking about some 30 versus
60 FPS to oh yeah that's stupid crap again all right so digital Foundry tries
to make a case for um for 30 FPS and
it's basically the same old bloody thing I just posted the link in the uh in the
twitch chat this was posted by zidian on the Forum and
now in this case they're making it very
clear 60fps is the better option when
possible and I think in this way they're doing a better job of maybe not putting
PR spin on it quite as much as some other
companies sof um are trying to by
calling it more cinematic but they're just being realistic and trying to
address the issue from from the perspective of like what's actually
going on why are we making these choices and so they basically say things like
you know in lots of scenarios frame rate
limiting can result in marketly smoother
gameplay and they have a point they do have a point because some people find
screen tearing more objectionable than
the than the slight well I shouldn't even call it slight I hate it but the
latency that's associated with vsync or
vers or the advantages associated with having you know 48 FPS versus being
knocked all the way down to 30 some people find tearing very objectionable
and for people with vsync if their computer performance is on the edge and
sometimes they'll dip down to 58 FPS and sometimes they'll be at 65 every time it
dips to 58 it's going to dip all the way to 30 because that's the way vsync works
and those stutters where the display has
to put the same frame up twice are
terrible you really really feel that so
in a case where you were going to run at 42 FPS you're probably better off from a
smoothness standpoint just running at 30
unless you've got something like g-sync which allows the display to refresh only
as often as the graphics card outputs a new frame um in order to have 42 FPS
smoothness versus 30 FPS or like know 60
the only problem I have with this is this is not what anyone was arguing
about at any point in time they didn't actually address
anything no at all nope because like
this is a big part of the reason why people push for certain FPS limits and
why they say 30 FPS is bad if the exact same thing you're just talking about if
you're running at 30 FPS and it dips below that's super not good if you're
running at 45 FPS 40 FPS and you can limit it down
a little bit and you don't have dips then fine or if you don't want to do
that and you can run it 40 or 45 then fine that's better but if we were
running at 56 then I'd rather we turn
down the details a little bit and push for 60 versus
but this isn't even like what they're talking I mean they're saying that's
what I mean it has nothing to do with the conversation that's actually going on they're just talking on the side and
it doesn't matter yeah it's basically a summary as far as I can tell sure so
there's stuff like okay and I disagree
with the point that 30 FPS with motion blur results in a good consist okay okay
no I agree it results in a consistant presentation you don't agree that it's
good I don't agree that it's good at all I think it's terrible artificial motion
blur after the fact is awful because you have to think about how motion blur
Works motion blur is the difference
between one frame and another one being kind of smeared so when you only know
the last frame and you don't know the next frame you can never do it correctly
because these images are coming at your eye so fast they have to be all blurred
together in a way that is that is realistic looking so when there's motion
blur and you quickly pan back and like
say for example you might do an I don't know any game ever maybe not like know
driving games are a exle motion BL can work unless you get uh unless it's like
an arcadey style driving game and someone can fish tail you or T-bone you
and your car oh then it's a mess isn't it it just looks awful uh but in FPS
games where you might be looking around this corner looking around that one mind you I'm I'm going like this as if I'm
holding a mouse and it's not like it's not like with a controller you can look
fast anywhere anyway so um so in in most
cases when you jerk like that the the motion blur effect is going to is going
to um whatever it's going to kind of
bleed the wrong way it's going to predictively try to go that way oh
actually went this way oh crap and then it's going to adjust itself and it doesn't know when you're going to want
to stop and especially if you rapidly go back the other direction like if you're
just checking and then you go back it's pretty pretty bad it does do a good job
as long as the motion on screen is predictable of making 30fps look a lot
smoother but the problem is that it's an interactive medium not television and if
it's television it's fine M um so there was one other thing in here that uh that
I wanted to talk about blah blah blah blah blah blah blah can't remember what
it was all right let's move on to the next thing then shall we sure all right
I just it's it's just a summary and it and it just it doesn't really matter
they didn't really say anything this is super cool this is hardly Tech to be
perfectly I don't see it Tech at all
okay it's not Tech I just thought this was cool I was the one who added this to
the do this week so the world's first underground Park it's definitely cool
could be coming sometime in 2018 I just posted the link in the twitch chat go
ahead and screen share with lonus one of
these days I'm going to remember to wire up this connection because my wireless
reception in this room is terrible um or we could we could install
that router that I was testing or that access point excuse me excuse me oh did
I just call it a router wow did to me yesterday too I know I know it's a bad
it's a consumer habit well it's wireless
is there for a router no it's an access point um so if we installed that access
point yeah that would be a good thing the the badass one the buus yeah I'll
tell you about it after but uh I was
getting 10 megabit from the mailbox there's a house I know aside
from this house isn't there like one and a half no it's about two walls of one
house it kind of cuts it
neighbor's with inss between the mailbox and that access
point and I was using a phone like I didn't have like a fraking dish like
pointed at it unreal so New York City
plans to create the low line the world's first underground Park so it was
inspired by The High Line which reused
uh these the these train tracks and turned them into kind of like an eco
beautiful kind of Park thing so this is a concept concept art thing so the
article here is from the star.com I think it's really cool so there are some
technical challenges they are going to have a lot of work ahead of them um this
is all part of like that Lower East Side
transformation project thing that's going on but basically they're going to
have to figure out how to get natural light 20 ft down and um figure out what
kind of plants they're going to be able to grow there and they're converting what was an old uh an old station into
an underground park now yeah I I think it I think it's cool like when I was say
oh it has nothing to do with tech yeah like I don't see obviously there's Tech
going into this but like I don't see it being like Oh yeah they're running PCS
which manage the Windows for the natural light no no I I haven't seen any of that
yet uh but it is cool regardless that would be kind of funny like oh they're
running Linux people start freaking out that
would be pretty entertaining but no I haven't seen any of that kind of stuff
yet didn't happen nope not even not even
close not even sure what on Earth you're talking about I wonder if they're even
going to end up doing it um the Park
yeah cuz isn't it just like they're raising money right yeah they're raising
money but they've already raised a fair chunk of it and I think okay like there
are some critics of the whole plan so um
on the surface it looks like oh hey we're taking a completely crowded area
and we're creating like a public space in it which is great is underground it's
very efficient but then you know well hold on a second you know what about
when this is rented out for private function this and event that are we
actually creating any public space out of it right the answer
is no well the private money that comes
from events like that will keep it free because right now very little public
money is actually being put into it so the public doesn't really get to
complain too much if it's not being paid for out of the taxpayers pockets I mean
this is the second cool thing we've talked about in New York so the first thing they had was those Wi-Fi hotspots
which some people were talking about about how that was a bad idea and
basically you're wrong why was that a bad idea I don't remember it was some
ridiculous thing but it's it any more public Wi-Fi even if it's not the most
amazing thing ever is better than no public Wi-Fi um after being in the EU
and like Germany especially Germany has like basically no public Wi-Fi and
there's a lot of times where I was just just like I just really need to have
Google Maps load for like a minute and then I'm fine yeah necro says yeah
they're going for it it was just being I think it's been being used for storage
since 1935 yeah like it's been just sitting
there doing nothing apparently the eye beams look like they're in pretty good
shape considering they've been there over a hundred years I was reading up on
a little bit of History this thing was only in use uh like regularly for I
think about 35 or 40 years wow something along those lines I mean a huge
investment building an underground station and uh so at least they're going
to get some use out of it other than other than
uh whatever the thing that I just said storage thank you I am not at my best
today guys I actually had um so this is just lonus Media Group news not really
real news so maybe he's just stalling for time maybe he thinks it's important
we don't know may both uh but I actually sat down with ncx today and so a lot of
people Express confusion about this on a regular basis do I work at NC do I not
work at NC I do not work at NC I am not
an employee of NC I am an independent
entity I have my own company but they do
contract me to shoot videos for NCIX Tech tips the YouTube channel that I
that I started where I uploaded my first YouTube video so obviously there's some
sentimental reasons why I keep going back there but uh we sat down today to
decide if we were going to renew our our deal and uh the original deal was 2
years so I've actually been away from NC for almost 2 years now and it looks like
we are going to renew for another year so you can expect to keep seeing more of
me over on NC Tech tips okay well it's not finalized yet
but that looks like how it's going to go this wow how hard did I call this one
what one where AT&T the next next topic down oh the backs off halting their five
I have very bad memory when it comes to what we do on this show because we rap
it everything so much you don't even listen to me do you um I do you just do
your own I listen to you we should just split this this is a two-way relationship no we should split this
into two shows so the way it's going to work is Luke's going to get his mic I'm
going to get my mic have to dual stream it we're going to we're going to draw a
line down the middle of the couch like like 90 sitcom style draw the line split
the room you don't you don't touch my side of the line and then we'll have two
channels of audio so those of you who want to listen to me can just put in the
one side those of you who want to listen to the other one put on the other side anyone with speakers you're hooped so
let's go ahead and uh switch over to my screen here finally loaded I'm done
stalling we'd have to do like the Acappella kind of thing where we both
talk about the same topic at the same time but say different words how's that
Acappella don't well don't they uh you'll be singing a song but you can
sing different parts of it it's not it's not AC but it's common
in AC cappella for different people in the group to be singing different parts
of the song So What the show's about Acappella now all right let's he our demo do you do any Acappella no
Nick actually Nick to my I've never heard him sing but my understanding is
he's actually really good um so AT&T
sees delays on fiber roll outs of two to three years but uh the one thing that
they have completely gone back on is
their CEO came out and said blah blah
Obama blah blah blah support net neutrality blah blah well that whole
plan we had to roll out fiber to 100
metropolitan areas you guys actually paid for and then we just took the money
from we're just going to sit on our butts and not do anything until we know
how the laws are going to be going to blah blah blah we we're not going to
invest in this unless we know what we're getting out of it and so they have since
uh revised that statement because it's ridiculous what you're just going to
completely like whether it's whether it's whether it's managed the same way
as phone lines where you know there's uh
they have to have neutrality you can't prefer one connection over another one
whether it's managed that way or some other way uh it's still very profitable
phone lines are fantastic phone lines are still profitable and that gets managed that way so it's just a matter
of it's a pure money grab so it's not like you're just going to completely
stop investing in the business that made you what you are because you're not
going to get your way about something so
um but they have said that it'll be be a 2 to three year delay I
mean I I I I don't I don't know if this
whole Google Fiber thing is working out the way Google wanted it to cuz they
never wanted to be an ISP my perception
and I could be totally wrong and Google can call me up on my cell phone I'm sure
they know my number they know everything about me um Google can call me up and
tell me look lineus you're wrong about this but my perception of this was that
Google never wanted to be a player as an ISP they just wanted to do it like once
and be like yo world please talk about
this and yo isps it doesn't cost that
freaking much yall need to like get your crap together and start doing this I
don't think they wanted to be rolling it out to city after city after City that
wasn't the point but now it kind of
might be now with AT&T and stuff doing
stuff like this like screw you don't build lines who cares go in the corner
and die let people like Google come in and build actually good stuff and let
everyone move over to them I read something I think I don't remember if it
an imager Reddit something it was one of those kind of websites uh where someone
was talking about um just for the headline and I was like what the hell I
had to click on the picture but it was um it's like when that hot girl moves in
next door and wants to hang out with you and now those girls that used to live
next door are clawing for your attention and then you click on it and it shows
like a Google Fiber building being built I'm like oh my God that's so true and
hopefully they build these buildings everywhere so that that happens because
everyone's going to want to get Google Fiber and then AT&T and all those other
buttheads will have to be better or else they will crawl in a corner and die and
I think everyone would be okay with that this is kind of funny I I have no way of
validating any of this but I kind of I kind of have to acknowledge this I just
got a text yep you're right about Google Fiber foral former Google
employee well I don't think it was even a secret I mean that was what they
pretty much said publicly is like this is the point of this we don't want to be
an ISP this is not our business screw
off go do what you're supposed to be
doing we don't want to do this we want
to make self-driving cars we want to build cool crap that goes on your wrist
and on your glasses we don't want to just like lay down
fiber but they're the best at it because they don't hate everyone including their
customers um speaking of laying down fiber so our original Source here is ARS
Technica I I just love the name of their site I know it's ours but it looks like
ours um where are we going what a great site uh I went down a lot yeah what the
what you talking about okay so this is um oh yeah so Shino Kansas a town of
roughly 9,000 people awesome people yeah
awesome people by the way petitioning the state to allow it to offer greater
access to the high-speed fiber Network that it built to support Town utility
operations AT&T filed to officially
intervene in the case all right so any
decision made by the KCC could impact AT&T's business operations in the area
which is why we asked to intervene in the proceedings an AT&T rep said RS
Technica reports that sheno oh here we go hold on a second let me just uh would
charge it citizens just $40 a month for one gigabit service which is only $5
more than the discounted like six-month entry rate
which you probably have to sign onto a contract for so it'll be way more
expensive after for six uh six megabit
service AT&T also includes a hard data
cap of uh 150 gigs a month and exceeding
that costs you $10 per month um sheno
officials think the state will rule in their favor hopefully they do yeah so
this is guys in Shin yeah I would love
to see more towns do this just you know
what if the isps aren't going to treat
the internet like it's just a a part of like it's a
utility if they're not going to do it then fine the city should just build
their own utilities you know the way it works for every other
utility and since we've finally got to the point where we don't need that
existing infrastructure like that whole deal with these private companies owning
all of the phone lines all over the entire country well we've got an
opportunity right now where those phone lines aren't really need it anymore so
if it's time to invest and they don't want to move into the next Century of
communications then okay okay take it
back City I would happily submit my tax
dollars I would happily if the if the city said look we're going to spend 1%
of all the tax money that we collect on upgrading the internet in this city and
booting out the isps that are just have been crapping on it the entire time I'd
say you know what I love the garbage collection service I have from the city
city seems to be doing a bang up job of the kind of stuff that they spend my
money on build me the internet I'll give you 2% heck I'll give you 5% I will pay
more taxes if the city's doing the kinds of things that really are meaningful to
me like that so that's a good point because like I've always kind of talked
about obviously not on the W show but how like uh phone lines are actually
really impressive infrastructure and then stuff like garbage collection you
don't notice it cuz it's never really going wrong isn't it amazing that's
beautiful if we could have that with the internet that would be fantastic if if
my internet maybe was you know not the fastest thing but if it arrived as
reliably as my garbage truck I want it to be fast ignore that
your garbage truck is pretty quick
though who clocks a garbage truck it's
is it is it regular ours at work is regular
yes U so anyway AT&T I wish I was
wearing a keep on digging shirt today because you guys are just yahoos you
guys are the poop heads this week yeah I don't think we have any Ubisoft topics
actually the crew seems totally fine I was benchmarking it today oh yeah do you
want to talk about that a bit uh I don't really have a ton to talk about I didn't see any um like manual save option which
I think makes sense because I'm pretty sure it's like an MMO so what I did was
just when you first drop into the game I believe it's the start of a tutorial
Mission um you get into what's kind of like a cop chase uh some guy calls you
up and he's like oh what are you doing he's like I'm being chased by cops he's
like you better get out of that because you have a race tonight and then that's all I've seen of the game so far um so I
I I race towards the objective and then I get to the objective my two-minute Benchmark is not done so I U-turn and go
back and then the two-minute Benchmark ends and I close the whole game and then
just do it again a lot of great discussion about uh whether uh whether
internet infrastructure should be handled by the government or not and one person brought up a point of well what
if your government decides to Blacklist certain websites well they're already
buddy buddy anyway if your government wants to Blacklist something or spy on you it's not like they're not already
doing it yes and I'm not I don't mean for that to be like a defeatist we
should just accept that they're going to spy on us we should and censor us uh but
the fact of the matter is if they're not already doing it they're probably not
going to because they already can depending on the legislation and the and
the government in place in Canada it's less of an issue for now but we'll see
spy Palace thing we'll see what Captain H Prett I wish they'd stopped voting
that guy in yeah this the first time I've ever we shouldn't talk about
politics on the show it's the first time I've ever wished that I was in
America because in America you can only serve two terms
Max there is no other reason why I would wish I was let's continue to not talk
about politics and move on with the show
I'm just talking about like steam broadcasting uh
oh speaking of actually speaking of politics was Sony hacked by North Korea
oh yeah so um so Sony Pictures is has a movie
slated for release pretty shortly here I'm just going to go ahead and pop that
link in there where it's called the interview where oh who's playing these
who's playing the characters I don't know I pay so little attention to to
movies these days it's the yeah I don't know Seth Rogan and James frco uh play
two reporters who are granted an audience with Kim Jong Un do they
pineapples go Express trains the CIA then enlists the pair to assassinate him
and North Korea described the film as an act of war and an undisguised sponsoring
of terrorism and called on the US and un to block it um sorry North Korea that's
really not the way at works here blocking a film because it's about and
like can you can you imag imagine if every film about trying to assassinate a
US president was banned there's no more
action films they're all they're all
gone every movie that every action star
ever made I mean and if we censor things the way that North Korea does we would I
mean we'd be removing the IMDb entire entries
for entire action Stars yeah yeah
exactly yeah action as a genre would become like
what was it Scorpion King that's like it it's pretty much the only thing there's
more I'm sure so this Cyber attack uh several films were stolen and released
so unreleased films were released in full quality um it was rumored and I
haven't followed up on this but it was rumored at the time it was happening that the PlayStation 4 I want to say
source code was stolen oh no like a bunch of stuff was stolen I know it was
bad I haven't looked exactly into what happened the unreleased film thing is
pretty intense PlayStation 4 source code that's uh yeah yeah no I I it might have
been Playstation 3 or something can't can't remember all the details but um
Sony needs to wake the hell up yeah this isn't the first time they've been uh
they've been hit and had a major leak like this yeah so uh that's my that's my
point as to why they need to wake this dock is huge I can't find anything right
um but yeah they need to clue in stop holding things and plain text entire
Excel sheets with people's passwords that's not acceptable on any level for
anyone I don't think even I have Excel
sheets of passwords that's just stupid you have a picture do I what passwords
are they a lot of them really yeah what pict do you have this picture cuz I
don't I found it and was like wow that's dumb and then kept on looking for
whatever I was looking for oh all right apparently have a picture at least at
least it's harder it might not exist anymore I found that a long time ago and
a picture would actually be potentially more secure than a plain text document
it's a lot harder to scrub through bot wouldn't well a bot you probably
wouldn't make it look for that cuz that wouldn't make you could make it look for
that but it probably wouldn't look for an Excel sheet in a
picture yeah might look for text in general in a picture yeah but it's much
less likely than like scrubbing Word and Excel documents cuz it's way easier to
just scrub Word and Excel documents all right so let's go ahead
and move on to steam offering game
streaming wow this is very interesting steam is determined valve is just
determined to do all the things I think if if I have this I don't know if I have
this or not because it's a beta client thing right yeah just everyone with the this is open to everyone who uses steam
as long as you opt into the Beta client okay so I guess I do have it I might try
it tonight just to kind of give it a shot yeah just to see how it works it is
not very featur rich yet of course I'm I just yeah yeah so I don't think it even
supports a webcam yet although guys correct me in twitch chat if I'm wrong
yeah yeah for sure and like with all the steam stuff it changes so rapidly that
who knows um but what I might even do is just be streaming on Twitch and
theny start steam streaming while I'm streaming on Twitch and just see what
happens so what's cool is and I was saying in the uh in the intro for the
show today that this feels a little bit more natural a way to start watching
someone game than now they getting to a site like twitch and I don't think that
twitch is going to go away because I think for major events twitch is going
to be the go-to destination for a long
time and I mean long time in the internet sense it could change tomorrow
but assuming nothing changes for the foreseeable future twitch is going to be
the destination for that but for people who don't even know what twitch TV is
like I've never heard of it there's more people than you would think which is a
lot of people a lot of Gamers even something like this is a lot more
natural like hey my buddy's playing Dota
or my buddy's playing Team Fortress and all you do is you click on it and you
spectate the game what a natural way to do that because the thing about twitch
is there's there's a lot of the the way it's structured is it's great for
creators to interact with viewers and it's great for concurrent viewers to
interact with each other but beyond that the the social infrastructure of the
site is not very deep not compared to something like steam where you can
transfer files to each other you can trade in-game items you can chat with
each other in group chats individually
and you can voice chat with each other like it's more it's a very social
platform so for someone who's not interested in watching a stream but is
interested in chatting with Buddy while they play a game what a great way to do
that so I I could see this being pretty cool for a few reasons like uh if if
someone doesn't feel like streaming at the time cuz streaming on
Twitch I think one thing that people don't understand is like stream games on
Twitch isn't isn't just playing the game and happening to have other people
watching you it's Bradas it's broadcasting you your you're live you
have to be it's it's energy draining it's not the easiest thing on the planet
but if like your buddy at home is working on homework but wants to see how
your DOTA matches are going it could be cool for him to be able to just tune in
and then it's just you and him maybe on Skype or vent or team speak or whatever
that's much more relaxing just you and your buddy hanging out instead of you
streaming to unknown amounts of people yeah and it just it feels a lot more
like the old days when you know it was a single player game yeah and even if you
had two controllers you had to take turns and you know just kind of sitting
and watching and and playing a game together like that's I I think it's very
cool I think it's pretty cool I I don't think it's going to do anything in terms
of like trumping twitch because it doesn't seem that doesn't seem like
their goal at all I think this is another cool way to interact with your
buddies on Steam I've got someone asking if I ever never found the list of of
gifs of Team fanatic pixel blocking it was actually a list of um I keep
forgetting his fleshes fl's like just a
panic button Aimbot where he just presses a button and snaps to the head
of the nearest opponent through walls or through whatever through two walls and
four boxes it just magically goes to his head and no I never looked for it again
so I haven't found it yeah all right Smash Bros on Wii U uh this is from game
nesia I don't think I'm going to talk about this a great deal but
watch out um some people's consoles are
actually bricking so I've heard a lot of mixed information about this um some
people are saying it's Smash Bros some people are saying it's just a lot of people are playing Smash Bros right now
which makes a ton of sense um some people are saying it's based off as smro
patch we don't know what's causing it so watch out maybe someone does but
there's so many different people saying so many different things that I don't want to say a confirmation you know I
would love to do a comedy sketch just a
warning so just the most random random
warning and then like people reacting to it so if you just put like a caution
sign like in the middle of nowhere with no obvious danger around it like how
would people react to that you'd be looking for you'd be looking for the
danger right oh my God it would be fun to like if you're walking through a park
and like you find other people that are walking through the park and just like
have you and your buddy in yellow vest like jog at a fairly fast not running
but jog at fairly fast pace run ahead of them and then just right in the middle of the walkway just put it like a pike
sign into oh my God and then just run back and then just just getting getting
people's reactions what a great entertaining all right so next up we've
got our we've got our last topic before the sponsor break but this one is one
that's obviously going to get his panties all wet more Tesla news we
should just change the show to not Oculus anymore because there hasn't been
much coming of oculus lately just Tesla
wait for CES though wait for CES there's Oculus and I can't remember the name of
them right now but another VR company that have booths really close to each other he sends me an email or like
Hangouts message in like the middle of the night um call Debs call Debs I'm
like I'm not going to those booths as if you have to call dibs on the Oculus
Booth I I'm going to buy an Oculus and I'm going to play the crap out of V
Valkyrie but like I'm not as into it as
want to make sure we're all on the same page we're on the same page you're on
your own page but I'm aware of the page and that's fine yeah okay yeah all right
so this is uh from gizmodo.com and
there's actually the the model S like if
we couldn't have imagined a way that it could get better yeah musk can so what
what do we got knowing knowing Tesla it's going to cost a bunch more money
but you don't have to go with this option so it's another version of the model S there's an additional front
motor I hate that they're calling it the new Tesla Model S I hope they do
something no I I think um the idea
behind it is when you pick a Model S you pick like the Baseline version and
there's multiple versions so it's probably not the new like how Nintendo
does with the little like sticker symbol thing new new nintend Mario Brothers Wii
U plused Galaxy time I don't think they're
doing that what I'm expecting is happening is when you go to configure your Model S when you're ordering it
it's a different base like start line right cuz there's like the the the like
the more like not as fast not as great battery style but cheaper one and then
like there's all the different versions right so so what improvements do we get
here other than the one that I obviously spoiled on the uh thing on my side here
the dual motors yeah you get an additional front motor which uh has 221
brake horsepower bringing the car's total power up to Super carlik 691 brake
horsepower which is pretty intense the combined torque is even more impressive
at 9 31 Newton m going uh growing from
362 which is actually kind of insane and the car weighs 2239 kg they're comparing
it to well okay I think this Gizmodo
website is comparing it I don't think Tesla is to the new Dodge Challenger
Hellcat which produces 707 brake horsepower and 881 Newton met of torque
and weighs a little bit less actually at 2018 kg um now
obviously one thing that has to be brought up is like they're comparing it
to the Hellcat the Hellcat is like this crazy massive like gasoline petrol based
engine and they're comparing an electric engine to it these things are going to
perform very differently electric motor to be Elric motor yes sorry uh they're
going to perform very differently so you can't just be like look at these numbers
they're exactly referential to this other completely different thing um it's
not necessarily Fair um to the Hellcat because the Tesla
actually has a faster Z to 0 to 100 so
yes actually most definitely um so what is it 3.2 seconds to the hellcat's 3.7
seconds so not an insignificant difference but then the what I was
talking about though is like so you you've got that 0 to 0 to 60 or I think
that's also the Hellcat looks for donkey that's 0 to 100 yeah so it's a 0 to 60
basically um yeah and then but their top
speeds Tesla's Max speed is 250 kmph
Dodge's max speed or the the hellcat's max speed is 328 kmph now Max Speed is
never been something that makes any sense to me I totally agree and I like
the Tesla setup more I just I'm trying to make sure that everyone is on the
same page that these are very different as a as as a as like a an a biker like I
love sport bikes I I my sport bike doesn't have a great top speed I think
it only does around 220 km an hour I I
say I think because I've never tested did that um but off the line I mean you
can't touch it it's a motorbike um and so I would much rather have I mean
especially driving on the streets you can always when you want to there's the
red light that's way too close when you want to have fun driving on the street
your only options really are quick acceleration you can't go fast you're
going to hurt someone so being able to go from you know 0 to 100 in no time
flat when you're merging onto the highway is really the only time you're ever going to
let it out and so you know a top speed of 250 kilm per hour is L more than fine
yeah uh and I completely agree with that whole idea but I'm just again just
trying to make sure that people understand these are two extremely different beasts and should be looked at
in different lights whichever one you like more so we're still 5 to six years
away from a true self driving car thanks musk but the new model S has an
incredible array of sensors that are intended to better inform the driver of
conditions around the car and which can take some limited control to avoid
crashes so some of the things it can do with the what all does it have on it I
can't even can't even remember long range radar image recognition Camera 360
ultrasonic radar and GPS data integration with real-time traffic so if
you signal on the highway it can change lanes for you when it's safe kind of
cool um it can detect oncoming obstacles
like a sudden obstruction say for example I they don't give this example
but I would think something like a deer or a moose running out onto the road and
it can autom Ally apply the Break
um yeah can check blind spots I'm super
into the 360° alter Sonic radar that's super cool I like that a lot love all
this stuff uh you still haven't been in one right I have never yeah okay at
um c yeah there we go we we got it
eventually I got to see one and that was by far the coolest thing about that
entire show but anyways um ah gear VR
was pretty cool anyways uh it's pretty cool and
like the whole how the handles go in the car for aerodynamic reasons right even
if you just ignore the fact that that's for aerodynamic reasons it's pretty
badass you have to have the key in your pocket but like you walk up to the car and put your hand out it's just like oh
that's cool I still see stuff like that as a bit of an over engineering thing
it's another thing to break from my perspective but then I I don't know that
the the typical customer for a Model S
cares if it breaks 10 years down the line they'll probably have a new car by
then yeah and and I wouldn't be surprised if on the like much more
reasonable version which is going to come out in however long which is
supposed to be like 30 whatever thousand the D pry is that the D I thought that
was I think that's the D Maybe I'm Wrong maybe it's I don't think that's the D no
sorry the D is more than that if I recall correctly yeah go ahead um
anyways uh I I seriously doubt that car is going to have the automatically rece
yeah so yeah it's no big deal all right
so Stephen Hawking is getting an upgrade
courtesy of Intel and of all people swift key so he's been using the same
system for oh Lord how long is it can't
remember it's in the article here but it's been uh it's been for over a decade
if I recall correctly and uh Mr Hawking
sorry Professor Hawking is not interested in some of the new
technologies like it tracking but was uh
but did work with them on a new more predictive uh style of input uh some
rearranging of the menus and then now that the whole thing or once the whole
thing is finished being developed what's cool is that Intel is going to make the
whole source code open source so many badass things were just said I I love
that swift key is working on this um I love that Intel is working on this I
love that they're releasing everything publicly um I'm actually super down with
him not being into eye tracking because all of the ey tracking demos that I've
used so far were kind of trash so I
completely understand why he's not into that um I think this is great this is
really cool there's a really cool comment on the swift key blog um from a
17-year-old who's suffering from the same thing as uh as Professor Hawking
and who basically said yeah I mean my computer software is so outdated that I
can't upgrade from XP it has no support for new operating systems and swift key
already already engaged here and talking about you know uh we we'd like to have
someone from our team Reach Out out to chat further about our work in the area I mean this
is think people when I complain about no
swift key on iOS or I complain about the fact that swift key is kind of rubbish
on iOS still um people think that I'm talking about swipe typing I'm not I
hate swipe no I don't use it either I don't use Swipe at all but I do use the swift key keyboard because their
predictive text is really good pretty good performance it's been a little
worse lately for me but pretty good performance and way smarter than most of
the other ones I've used because it actually looks at my history so the
system that they're building here I'm assuming would also be a learning
predictive model that uh that actually gears itself towards the things that you
that you usually say it's it's awesome yeah really cool do you sync it with
like everything like yeah yeah me too I know some people that don't and I'm just
like ah I want my texting to slowly I'm slowly getting more getting away from
like the shorthand texting stuff cuz with full keyboards it's faster so like
what ever and if it's predicting so well
if I need to type something long usually within the first three or four letters it figures it out anyways right so I I
sync it with my email which I try to write in more full sentences and I'm
trying to move everything to better better grammar and better formatting so
I like that swift key actually works for that all right so it's sponsor time our

home for example to stand out from the pack so make sure you check out all the
pro competition at the event all weekend
all right our last sponsor spot for today is actually a new one and this
one's going to be kind of fun so we'll just leave this here I'm so excited now
I have to disclose that Loot Crate sent this to us free of charge because we're
talking about Loot Crate and it's like a sponsor spot so we didn't actually like
we didn't actually buy it I'm sorry but if you guys aren't familiar with here do
you want to do the do you want to do the unboxing sure all right so if you guys
aren't familiar with Loot Crate basically you sign up and every month
they deliver epic geek and game gear for
just and even the price is geeky 1337
really yeah I didn't even know that one thing I want to point out is how tightly
packed it is I noticed this like immediately like this is a shirt they
definitely the Box uh actually pretty good yeah I'm talking about the Green
Bay Packers you played football I did but not not for the Green Bay Packers
all right um so what are we talking
about right so this is uh this is I believe this is November's crate so it
includes all the stuff that he's holding up right now so what do we got is a
shirt yeah Pirates versus ninjas shirt
okay and I'm assuming that you they find out your T-shirt size or something ahead
of time this is a large so this one's for you I guess they found out my t-shirt you just you just earned a shirt
yay another shirt that I don't have to
buy uh this one includes the yeah so that's a Mega Man helmet and collectible
stand so you're going to have to open that up for sure um the December crate
is going to be the biggest one they've ever delivered sizewise so now is a
great time to sign up with offer code Linus and save 10% so you save what a
do 34 I guess which makes the Price Less
exciting well more exciting but less geeky less geeky less geeky so they're
going to have exclusives from DC Comics and Batman and Marvel SLG Guardians of
the Galaxy they're going to have an exclusive Ghostbusters collectible
Tetris and Simpsons Collectibles and a brand new Funko Pop vinyl figure created
exclusively for loot crates so December's crate is going to have a bunch of like crazy exclusive stuff what
else we got in here well here's the helmet okay there's your Mega Man helmet
oh it's a Halo like grenade drop pod I
think it's a is it a grenade I think it's a drop pod yeah it's a drop pod so
it includes it includes a super posable micro action figure I feel like I feel
like I feel like the old unboxing days oh my goodness just like opening up like
some random thing just being like
what is this I don't know how does it work look there's ports on it these are
all the fan headers on the motherboard this is what it says on the box so it's
a metallic series figure uh 19 pieces
eight plus so you're not going to want to give this metallic series figure to
your seven-year-old unless your seven-year-old is really clever what do
you got what else we got in here oh oh okay oh that's a little tiny it's a
little tiny Master Chief
I need my knife what do you got what is that it's a street fighter
headband you can this is
amazing anytime I suck at fighting games anytime I fight a play a fighting game
in the future I will be wearing my Street Fighter headband this is is this
like a oh it's a Mega Bloks Halo guy so
it comes with a little Mega Blocks like
block like a 2 by a 2x4 block and then
he stands on it or doesn't oh oh does he
stand on it maybe he has to stand on the front he has to stand yeah there we go I
just had to fix this posture and it comes with a little tiny gun and of
course it's a pistol because uh because this is so so Halo one but what else you
got here this appears to oh oh he's got a backpack there we go I'm liking my
master chief what else you got there's an Assassin's Creed coin so it's from
Unity so like if you if the game is lagging out so so much that you can't
spend coins in game you can like pretend to spend coins in real life yeah I mean
in in loot crate's defense this coin was probably arranged before they knew the
game was going to suck donkey crap and uh and like if if if if this was
Assassin's Creed 4 and they and this had showed up before Assassin's Creed 4 and
this was a coin from Assassin's Creed 4 you would probably be super stoked you
know what and it's it's actually a really nice coin too if we do this just
right it kind of looks like a four on the back there you go yeah so you could
pretend it's Assassin's Creed 4 Black FL
and then you could just yeah okay well it does say Unity on the front of it so
you could just never look at it on that yeah put it down on the table turn this
into your Tru coin so you cross out the unity side and then it's
like yeah oh it doesn't die because
it's cuz it's the more generic Assassin's Creed logo instead of the
okay okay well funny that's not bad for 13 bucks yeah it's actually pretty cool
and you also get a little pin Loot Crate November 2014 Battle Theme so they have
different different themes and stuff I was talking to Nick about it and I was like in I like when whenever it happens
just in case my brother's watching this like I'm not asking you to have one
obviously but it whenever it happens if my brother has a baby what I would do is
just get Loot Crate and then like every time that once it's older uh every time
that it like comes to hang out with me I can be that cool uncle that like has all
that cool nerd swag stuff and I'll just be like here you get these things and
and they'll be like wow how did you find such cool nerd swag and they'll be like
I tirelessly I pretty much hunt for this stuff all around the world I eBay yeah
every day for my entire life y to have
all this cool swag hunt down these little things yeah all right speaking of
things that I'm just going to keep wearing the you you may do that if you
would if you would desire to do that all right let's move on to our next topic
here which is I remember making fun of this thing and basically my conclusion
being uh yeah that seems like a great idea in Theory oh sorry The Loot Crate
link is loot crate.com Linus Nick's all like yo dog you might not have actually
uh called that out loot crate.com Linus all right so uh this this oh man this
thing was so stupid I was like yeah I guess it seems like a good idea in
theory except that motion control is going to be completely impossible and it
looks way too big and the battery life is probably going to be rubbish and it
looks like I was 100% right the whole thing just looks garbage here we
so this this stupid thing this this ad
epic okay worst product ever made ring by log bar 1.2 million views from snazzy
Labs so here's their original crowdfunding campaign these guys raised
almost a million do to make this ring
that in theory yeah look at look at this thing look how big it is you can tap you
can gesture you can draw things in the air I think they even said that you
would be able to type so I'm not going we're not going to run this this the
same company that was like yeah you can play Halo with it I believe so I think
it was yes yes I believe it was and they showed someone like typing on a on an
onscreen keyboard on their TV so it has
shipped to the original backers and it is apparently complete garbage
um it was so they promised the features
gesture control text transmission payment information transmission receive
and alert receive alert functions compatible greater than iOS 7 and
Android 4.4 and uh the video the video that I
just showed you know what I should post this video in basically it's like the
worst thing ever and does nothing and doesn't work with anything and wasn't
that cheap and is a complete disaster and this this is the cautionary tale
that goes along with anyone who thinks they should that we should tell to
anyone who wants to fund something on a crowdfunding site there is actually one
two there are two crowdfunding campaigns that I backed just so that I could do
reviews of how crap it is when it arrives one is the jibbo robot because
it they're claiming so much I find I find hardware and like when there's when
there's physical rewards on things I actually shy away from it more like
stuff that I've backed that's worked out pretty well okay star isn't obviously is
not out yet I've had fun with it though the the dog fighting module stuff is
pretty good and it looks like it is actually going to happen so that's that's cool Shovel Knight I backed that
it came out it's awesome super happy with that but then I also have stories
like the dude who was supposed to make a cookbook and then just ran away with everyone's money um cuz he was like
it'll be a manly cookbook and like it he had like one example page and it was
hilarious it was so funny and I was like this is awesome cuz if it can make like
cooking entertaining and funny then that's cool um and then it just never
made more than one page oh who was it with that card game where they like
spent all the money on a new office and then they and like one company's debts
or their one their one employees debts or something yeah I don't I don't remember who that was and wasn't there
one not that long AG oh this was this was news this week this isn't in the
dock but um some some uh crap what were
they they were a game developer or something like that and they donated all the money to Anita
sarkeesian and uh and and they can't pay
they can't pay anyone back and it's like a big gigantic Fiasco and they're like
yeah I owe a lot of taxes so I can't afford to pay anyone back it's like yeah
your taxes are really not the problem of your backers who gave you money um wow
okay so let's go ahead and uh yeah so the ring total disaster oh Gundam Styles
view count right so yeah you want to go ahead and yeah where is
this okay so it has the counter has passed the I'm going to screw this up 2
b147 M48 3,647 view number which is when you're
Pro someone's going to scream at me cuz I'm probably going to say something ever so slightly wrong but when you're
programming you put things into what are essentially little containers so a uh
32-bit integer supports that number that
I just said and that integer supports a
number that is above zero I believe um
and up to that number so if they get above that number things go wrong
because it can no longer fit within that container the container is too small so
they upgraded to a 64-bit integer container which can hold the number that
I can't even say it's 9223372036854775807
actually kind of totally makes sense and that's pretty much all we actually have to say they have increased the possible
amount and gagum style will continue to go on as it always has being gnum style
yeah yeah being what Charlie bit my finger never could be
y all right oh this is really exciting
so ASUS is talking I I reached out to them about this already because we so
need to cover this but ASUS has a 20 um
a 27 7 in PB 279 QC coming so it's a PB
which means that it's not going to necessarily have the the same
pre-calibration as a PA but this is a 4K
27 in 10bit monitor with 100% srgb
coverage this thing looks freaking awesome and it's coming in at an
estimated $7.99 so under $800 sort of uh exactly
$800 27 in right yep for 27in 4k monitor
now 4K is still a bit of a mix bag on
the PC in particular due to the text and
UI element scaling issues that exist there but more affordable displays and
this will be 60 HZ over DisplayPort 30 HZ over HDMI so more affordable displays
being available will I think Drive adoption which will drive developers to
go ahead and make their stuff compatible so window very very exciting and for
gamers particular I would imagine at 27 in 4k anti-aliasing is a thing of the
past maybe 2x but I can't imagine needing any more than that 2x at 32in 4K
already looks pretty darn good to
me until Windows support is a billion times
better I'm still not super
interested okay Capa is dead say hello
to the new and improved Capa so for
those of you who aren't familiar with with Capa Capa is those horrible things
that a lot of the time you don't get right and you have to reenter a 100
times and then you have to re-enter your password and the capture but those little things with the images that are
like obscured and you're not really sure if you're typing the right thing to
validate that you are indeed a human and not a robot signing into the website so
this is the no capture recapture which
doesn't rely on just that technology
anymore so over to you it's going to
pre-screen your behavior and how you use the website to try and identify you as a
human or a robot if you take 0 five of a
second to go through the entire form and then try to click that you're a human
and not a robot it's probably going to be like nope you're pretty much a robot
not going to let you in so instead of just having you read all this crazy
annoying crap and entering it wrong four or five times in a row before you figure
out that it's case sensitive because some of them aren't uh it'll it'll just
pre-screen your behavior it'll also have other potential things
so it could have uh like two things going on so there's the pre-screening
thing and it could show you a picture of a cat and be like select a picture
that's similar not that they haven't already been doing this they just might
continue to use that style instead of the really hardto read text there's
actually I didn't even see this at the bottom of the page before but this is cool so brief history of captas so while
all of this may sound simple there's a high degree of sophistication behind
that modest checkbox so captas have relied on the inability of robots to
solve distorted text however they're saying that their research shows that
today's artificial intelligence can solve even the most difficult variant of
distorted text at 99.8% accuracy so not
only are these things annoying they're not even a deterrent for art for for AI
That's trying to get through it so the distorted text on its own is no longer a Dependable test so last year they
developed an advanced risk analysis backend for recapture that's actively
considers a user's entire engagement before during and after after to
determine whether the user is human very
very cool I've also seen other variants um I don't think these are necessarily
recapture but but other um validation
things like pick the one that corresponds to the other pictures and
they'll have pictures of like animals and you have to pick the cat you know
the so so so cool stuff like that but this should be until you it's always an
arms race so figures out how to beat it until you figure out how to make a robot
that perfectly can act like a human
being which I don't know robots have serious problems being random so we'll
see the cool thing about it though is that even if the robot finds a way to
behave in a way that fools the capture um it won't be fast you yeah that's true
I know it will be actually kind of entertaining though mhm trying to get
captas to think that you're a
robot um oh do you think you could do
that I I think you could um if you took like a mouse and were able to bind
things on your keyboard to change your DPI if you could change your X and Y DPI
so much that you moved in exact perfect lines I wonder if it would think you're
a robot if you only moved left and right
at a very specific time and if if you like messed with your mouse so it could only move at one speed ever no matter
how fast you moved it like if you used keyboard input yeah sure perfect
keyboard input and then like moved your mouse with your arrow keys don't think
it would think you're a robot you'd be too slow you'd be way too slow you
wouldn't click on like the precise spot where the want I want I kind of want to
see if I can make it a robot but there is I'll probably be too lazy but it
would be pretty entertaining there's no way you're going to be able to do that
if someone can make it think that they're a robot uh post it on the form
or something that would be entertaining all right copy link URL let's go ahead
and throw this in so Kmart joins Target in Australia pulling Grand Theft Auto 5
off its shelves in other news Big Box retailers
and the people who apparently petition
them to do things um probably need a
reality check on gaming yeah and
like and like the them thinking it's actually going to stop people from
getting it maybe they don't well okay I
do agree with voting with your wallet or
like vote putting your money where your mouth is and if you if you want to take
a stand on something you can't just not take a stand because no one else will
take a stand you know you kind of have to do things um they're not voting with
their wallet they were already voting with
their wallet by not buying the game I'm sure I'm sure like like they're voting with their
wallet by losing out on sales because
they take a they have a moral objection or whatever kind of what kind of
rejection so spokeswoman for the company announced on Thursday that the highly
popular series would be removed from shelves immediately following a significant review of their content this
misogynistic GTA 5 literally makes a game of bashing killing and horrific
violence against women the petition which has been signed by more than 40,000 people said you know what the
thing about GTA is is that it's bashing killing and horrific violence against
literally everyone yeah it's kind of how
it works I didn't play the whole game but up until the point that I had played
the the only like there was one thing
that actually made me pretty uncomfortable and it was directed at a
dude not a girl yeah and it was like a pretty
messed up scene actually was that a dud you know that any the promoting violence
against sex workers I mean this is not something that I'm advocating for and
personally not a huge fan of the whole GTA thing for me personally but I I I
don't think that pulling it out of a couple stores in Australia is really
going to stop the Juggernaut that is Grand Theft Auto and I also don't
subscribe to the theory that violent video games make people violent I think
crazy people are crazy people and those crazy people might tend to you know act
out their fantasies NVIDIA games but those people were going to be crazy and
now anyway I'm going a route that I completely disagree with here so keep
that in mind but with the whole like oh there's tons of studies that say this and there's one that say this but uh
there has I believe there's been a recent study saying that violence in
video games May reduce violence in real life cuz they're able to yeah I remember
reading that one a little while back but I I I don't know if I necessarily buy
that either yeah no that's that's why I put that disclaimer on it you could
probably run the same study does playing an instrument reduce violence in real
life like people who have hobbies I think in general are less likely to yeah
that's that's actually probably a much better way to go about it people who
have a life are going to be less likely to want to ruin their own yeah yeah so
uh this is interesting now there's been a a severe shortage oh sorry I haven't
posted the link yet but there has been a serious shortage of good mechanical
wireless keyboards up till now and it looks like filco is seeking to address
this so this is an article from over on tech report and there it is filo's new
cherrymx keyboard has Bluetooth connectivity loving it kind of like that
as Bluetooth connectivity because it be could be kind of fun CU I believe you
change which Bluetooth connection it's trying to connect to uh through a
function key on the keyboard so which Bluetooth connection yeah I think it has
up to four oh I did not know that okay
the keyboard features both Bluetooth and a detachable USB cord with what looks
like a mini USB connector and when unplugged it runs off two AA batteries
that provide about 6 months of usage at about 5 hours per day yeah not half bad
try find this I was having while I was benchmarking today I tried to get Nick
to go in there and just like read topics off to me and I I know he said there was
I think he said there was more than one um one of four Bluetooth sources
function and number key shortcuts that's really cool so if you could just be like on your computer then be like ah I have
to send this big thing on my phone but like I don't want to set up Air Droid or
whatever that is the smartest thing ever you just have your phone on a little
stand yeah just function key off type whatever you need to do function key
back on it's like it's like Apple's continuity except not Apple's continuity
at all because you're still using it on your phone but you just pair it over and
Bluetooth pairing is so fast these days that is freaking awesome now one
obstacle for this keyboard is this really is a niche product because
Bluetooth is something that's really not
included with most desktop computers and fullsize 104 key Magis touch mechanical
keyboards are not the kind of thing most people use on their laptops but if you
had an office say for example that you took a laptop to every day and you just
had this Wireless keyboard and then you had a little stand for your phone next to it being able to switch between them
and then close everything up and book it at the end of the day that's freaking
awesome I love this product and jumping over to your recent handy Tech episode
which people should watch CU it's awesome if you get one of those like internal USB header to USB plug adapter
things and then just plug a Bluetooth dongle onto there there you're good
problem solved all right so this is um this is
actually pretty cool Finland today cursive handwriting for typing and
texting skills so let's go ahead and copy the link
hereo all right let's fire this up um
honestly makes a ton of sense every time I hear about some completely Legacy
nonsense being ditched for you know some
actually useful skill so cursive writing
I don't imagine either of my kids will read or write incursive unless they get
into calligraphy as a hobby I don't even know how well I could do it anymore I I
think you would discover you pick it up again extr I just thought in my head how I would write like and like it took me a
second yeah I got it but like if I just had to sit there and write a whole paragraph out it would take me a while
okay well whatever we're not sharing tweak Town site anymore the entire
purpose uh I think this is cool I wish it was happening sooner I'm sure that's
probably because they have to write out like the curriculum and how they're going to run these classes and St
already gone in Canada so yeah yeah yeah yay Canada was ahead of Finland on
something uh are we replacing it with typing and texting skills or did we just
ditch the class not texting typing yeah we've had typing forever though and I'm
sure they have typing as well yeah um anyways so it's not happening until
Autumn 2016 so it's still not happening for a while but plans are in motion
which is cool um this is from The Verge Obama to provide funding for police body
cameras so this is all in the wake of the uh the recent uh the recent
conclusion of the whole Michael Brown thing where the police officer was let
off off and you know whether that was the correct decision or not the correct
decision is not something that we're going toach on this show but the point
is um Obama has pushed through I think
it was 300 million or so in funding 236
263 million in funding for body cameras
on Law Enforcement Officers so that'll be about 50,000 body cameras and then
the rest of it is of evidently storage
uh training and Outreach programs meant to renew the level of trust between cops
and the communities that they serve I think this is cool regardless of what
side you stand on because I think it could help potentially protect officers
and I think it could help potentially protect the people I mean it's the same
reason that people use dash cams the dash cam is not always necessarily to
cover your own but if it's in the hands of a law enforcement officer it could
potentially be used to cover the butt of of someone someone else from the law
enforcement officer so I mean I have having more raw data of what happened at
the scene how is that a bad thing cuz like even if something happens in the
background maybe you see someone run off to the corner that the police officer didn't see cuz he was talking to someone
if you could see that off off of off officer cam then cool sweet who knows I
don't think it's a bad idea um I think
that's pretty much it for anything that uh I thought was particularly
interesting in the do maybe we should shuken the this stream and have an after
party shukin really shukin sh how do you
say it again uh well without doing like the voice it's kind of hard toin
yeah it's it's more like shoro yukin and it's probably our it's probably yeah
we're going to be I don't really play fighting games whoever's going to correct us just screwed off sure good
work uh okay actually we have build logs
of the week so I'm just going to go s thank you for not forgetting that do we
have that dude's thing which one the C thing the what manave

possibly even on the inside here we got those those are so those are so
throwback I love this those those
biohazard fan girls like I remember
shopping on like ads mods.com for that
kind of crap like way back in the day those used to be so common at lands and

week if the presentation has finished loading yes I want to allow can you
remember this please all right so this
one project white camel also known as
see-through yoga pants Lululemon Edition
we've got the core i75820k two Samsung
850 Pros 256 and raid zero we've got a
couple of GTX 980s and S so one BA rig
it's got some painting of The RAM got some ooh are we changing the color of
the uh the GeForce logos all right got some white sleeving going on here that
is that an aiio liquid cooler all right we're going to have to see how might not
stay there we'll see how it redeems itself all right and everything is white
I do like pretty sick I do like that
color change on the GTX logos like that white RAM that x99 Deluxe looks
fantastic in this build everything goes
together incredibly well sweet I would have like to see him
at least have the my my my OCD on the text on the AI cooler not being right
you know it kills me the thing about that is it's usually the manufacturer's
fault for not having the the right Notch The Notches well not having the length
the tubing to be able to yeah so you
have to choose clean tubing run or correctly
oriented and both will drive people crazy and both of them will drive people
crazy all right so guys thank you so much for tuning in to the WAN Show we

the internet has moved on yeah there were so few
comments about the uh the greatest of all time second edition or whatever I
said in the uh it was in an NC Tech tips
like the fractal Define R5 yeah that's why I saw cuz I wanted to see to find r
five stuff yeah yeah I thought that was I thought it was so obvious yeah I know
I
