WEBVTT

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.240
uh we had a couple of complications before the show but you guys aren't

00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:11.920
gonna concern yourselves with that so let's get uh a rousing chorus of

00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:16.880
ah they're late in the uh twitch chat and we can all get it out of our system

00:00:14.559 --> 00:00:19.199
line is later late Linus or whatever i don't remember they say something

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:24.560
they're probably saying it right now they're probably saying it right now so it would be helpful if we actually

00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:28.240
looked at that you're kind of cut off if i kind of scooched over a little bit

00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:33.120
would that help i didn't really scooch i just want to sit closer to him

00:00:31.119 --> 00:00:37.840
so let's go ahead and have a look at what our topics are for the day

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:41.040
it's actually a surprisingly jam-packed show so it's unfortunate that we weren't

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:45.680
able to get started on time we had to replace the batteries in the microphone

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:48.800
um i realized right before the show normally we leave everything all set up

00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:54.480
so that we can get things going pretty quickly and i was like oh yeah

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:56.079
our last wen show was in vegas we took

00:00:54.480 --> 00:01:01.680
our streaming gear to vegas it's not set up so we had to

00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:06.000
get everything all set back up again but uh other than that we are pretty much

00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:12.320
ready to rock here so some uh some sort of top topics today

00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:16.159
microsoft and google are scrapping over

00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:18.560
patch fixing policies and sort of you

00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:25.119
know airing dirty laundry in public about each other's bug reports

00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:27.600
the new nintendo 3ds to not include a

00:01:25.119 --> 00:01:32.079
power adapter in north america uh are you beautiful i am you might be

i'm i'm done oh that was it do you see it five delayed that's all you're going to say

00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:57.920
about it yeah right because we're going to save it for later on boom intro

00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.439
that's not the music for our intro

00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:09.490
welcome to the word show ramstein intro

00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:14.870
metal edition

00:02:14.959 --> 00:02:23.120
and our sponsors today are squarespace make an awesome website with squarespace

00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:25.760
it doesn't have to be square it could be widescreen

00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:32.400
and lynda.com you don't have to read a book but you could

00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:36.160
but that's not really what lynda.com is about

00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:40.480
all right so it's going to be a good show today guys uh we're going to kick

00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:46.480
off with something that's actually not new at all this article is from like

00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:50.160
fairly old man we were three weeks ago and we even okay like i know it says

00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:56.319
it's old but we never discussed it we did oh we just both were like whatever

00:02:54.640 --> 00:03:00.959
oh all right i just agreed that it was stupid and moved on at any rate boom

00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:07.920
here's the bbc article i'll go ahead and screen share with you guys but uh

00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:11.280
wow wow wow maker says that video games

00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:13.280
should be in the olympics and

00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:17.280
there there are some arguments on either side of this or really that okay video

00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:21.760
game see i i went and i used one of those words that mainstream media uses

00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:26.080
to you know make it seem less legitimate what did

00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:31.480
you say i called them video games oh i should have called them esports

00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:31.480
excuse me very different

00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:38.159
what i'm being a little bit facetious okay just just a touch just a touch okay

00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:42.080
so so there are a couple there are a couple good points that the uh that the

00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:46.720
wow creator brings up i'm just gonna go ahead and switch back to my laptop here so i can look at what they were because

00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:50.959
i don't memorize all these things so number one is that they're well

00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:56.720
positioned to be a spectator sport uh given that you can fill up you know tens

00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:58.959
of thousands of spectator coliseum for a

00:03:56.720 --> 00:04:02.959
live event in some parts of the world and i mean the north american viewers

00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:05.519
out there might kind of go well yeah but just because you can kind of do it there

00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:11.360
doesn't mean that it should be a big deal i mean the reality of it is north america is not the center of the

00:04:09.040 --> 00:04:16.239
universe and i don't know if this is still true and it was either 2008 or

00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:21.359
2012. my facts are a little bit hazy here but i believe it was the badminton

00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:26.240
men's singles gold medal match that was the most watched sporting event of that

00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:30.960
entire of that entire summer games olympics and it's basically non-existent

00:04:29.280 --> 00:04:33.280
in north america so i thought you were going to say like ever and i'm like i'm

00:04:32.400 --> 00:04:40.080
pretty sure that was something to do with soccer but yeah okay no just because just because no one watches it

00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:43.759
here doesn't necessarily or or watch it here and people go to live gaming events

00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:48.479
it's pretty rare i know they did one at the staples center yeah but that's kind

00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:52.160
of it it's like yeah there was that one they did at the staples center that

00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:56.000
doesn't make it an olympic it happens but not on the same scale at all

00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:59.040
same i guess similar to tennis people watch it but not on the same scale so

00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:03.360
and then the other argument is i think the way you look at esports is as a very

00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:06.720
competitive skill set and you're looking at these professional gamers with

00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:10.880
reflexes that are lightning quick and the and quick decision making you know

00:05:08.880 --> 00:05:14.000
upwards of 300 actions per minute although the whole actions per minute

00:05:12.400 --> 00:05:18.800
metric is one of those ones that i think we've pretty much stopped acknowledging

00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:21.759
at this point i hope um

00:05:20.080 --> 00:05:25.120
and so you know the comment is video games would first need to win a cultural

00:05:23.280 --> 00:05:27.919
battle uh over physical sports

00:05:26.960 --> 00:05:33.520
so with all of that said the the ioc the

00:05:31.280 --> 00:05:38.479
international olympic committee has already kind of laid down the law as far

00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:41.199
as you know new events goes they're only going to have a fixed number of events

00:05:39.840 --> 00:05:46.720
so that means that if you want to add something you have to remove something else and as questionable as some of the

00:05:44.960 --> 00:05:49.840
things in the olympics i actually don't follow summer olympics as closely as i

00:05:48.400 --> 00:05:55.039
do winter olympics but i mean come on figure skating and ice dancing like

00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:59.919
really and someone's gonna give me crap over this in fact i hope my new contact

00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:03.520
at sony isn't watching right now because um

00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:08.080
yeah she's uh actually no she's a she's a figure skating judge not an ice dance

00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:13.199
judge my understanding is figure skaters for the most part look at ice dances

00:06:11.280 --> 00:06:17.120
kind of why are you even here figure skating in

00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:21.199
its own regard is pretty freaking intense i don't know

00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:26.000
much about ice dance ice dance is kind of like figure skating but um right more

00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:29.520
dancing no figure skating has partners too like that's exactly right

00:06:28.080 --> 00:06:33.360
i don't know where it's just like why do we need both of them um okay yeah we

00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:39.680
should probably but like it's figure skating is quite physically challenging so okay

00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:44.000
i guess whether or not they win this battle is going to come down to whether

00:06:41.919 --> 00:06:48.880
they can find something less worthy to knock out and whether or not it's

00:06:46.400 --> 00:06:53.759
possible to win the battle of should uh should what is effectively yes there's a

00:06:50.880 --> 00:06:58.080
physical component but uh yeah you can't really even say well

00:06:55.680 --> 00:07:02.319
no like the the a point at the bottom of this where it's a mind sport is a really

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:05.360
good point um chess chess supporters have wanted chess to be in the olympics

00:07:03.919 --> 00:07:09.919
for a long time and i think if you were to look at the olympics as

00:07:07.440 --> 00:07:14.080
sort of you know it's a traditional thing it's all about the legacy of

00:07:12.080 --> 00:07:18.800
whatever it is and esports being very new probably don't necessarily

00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:22.800
follow fall under that chess would i mean

00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:26.160
chess has a long history and if we're not going to include that then should we

00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:31.759
include esports first if we included stuff like chess i think it would make

00:07:28.479 --> 00:07:35.039
more sense because we have added newer

00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:36.720
sports to the tradition of the olympics

00:07:35.039 --> 00:07:40.240
but of course there's the like there's the business aspect as well going back

00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:45.120
to the if you're gonna do esports you should probably do chess argument because compared to esports chess

00:07:43.440 --> 00:07:48.639
doesn't draw nearly the same kind of a crowd no i meant the other way around if

00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:51.599
they were doing chess already it would make more sense for them to do that than

00:07:50.400 --> 00:07:55.919
any sport there was a no brainer during the mind game stuff should we close the door yeah i'll close the door because

00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:59.840
those guys are loud move into our next topic sure i don't

00:07:58.479 --> 00:08:03.759
think there was really much to say on that it's just the mind sport thing it

00:08:01.599 --> 00:08:07.039
comes down to it in in my opinion they don't do the mind sports stuff i mean

00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:12.000
what that says i mean okay something like throwing a javelin

00:08:09.599 --> 00:08:14.639
okay this is not a mind sport but hey i thought you were gonna be like that's a

00:08:12.960 --> 00:08:20.560
mind sport i was like dude no something like hockey on the other hand though

00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:22.400
there is a huge mental component so yes

00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:25.599
it's physical there's there's a mental component to every sport

00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.879
javelin throwing there's a mental component to it okay there's a mental

00:08:27.280 --> 00:08:33.120
okay i shouldn't have said mental i should have said mind because they're

00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:37.279
not they the the connotation is slightly different you don't use your mind to

00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:41.839
throw a javelin but there there's like a mental resilience under pressure

00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:46.240
component to any competition whether it's a physical one or anything else you

00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:49.760
still use your mind to throw a javelin okay you use your mind to throw a

00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:54.480
javelin we're not talking freaking telekinesis here we're talking about you

00:08:51.920 --> 00:08:58.160
use your mind to tell the ARM that it should probably go ahead and do this no

00:08:56.560 --> 00:09:02.880
i know but also if you're in outdoor stadiums you have to judge other things like it's it's anyways there's no point

00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:07.440
in arguing this um but there's you have to use your

00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:11.040
brain in every sport um but it's like anyways whatever uh

00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:15.920
google oh should we just go into the google versus microsoft thing uh yeah

00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:19.440
sure why not oh god okay so there's essentially

00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:24.640
two stories to this so i'm gonna start with the first story um google what the

00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:28.320
okay someone messed with my notes here did you copy the link already i'm doing

00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:31.440
it no i did not okay sorry i will do that from now on

00:09:29.680 --> 00:09:35.440
uh if i make sure i'm logged in google released details on a security

00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:38.399
vulnerability in Windows 8.1 48 hours before microsoft was ready to release a

00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:43.040
patch for it microsoft claims and i believe google is

00:09:40.959 --> 00:09:46.480
not refuting this at all that they were in contact with google and were like

00:09:44.640 --> 00:09:51.839
guys we're releasing a patch for this in two days hatch tuesday please don't

00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:56.399
do this and then google was like nope releasing it uh google's whole idea for

00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:59.040
this um and microsoft is calling for them to be more flexible and work with

00:09:57.839 --> 00:10:02.959
them in the future when it has to do with the vulnerabilities of millions and

00:10:00.959 --> 00:10:08.480
millions of users google's rebuttal is that they have a standard 90-day policy

00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:11.040
when it comes to uh releasing data about

00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:13.920
vulnerabilities and the policy and the reason this exists and all that kind of

00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:18.160
stuff is to pressure companies into fixing vulnerabilities more quickly now

00:10:16.800 --> 00:10:21.360
when it was already fixed and it was coming out in two days

00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:27.360
maybe that shouldn't apply but that is their policy so that's what they're doing story two

00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:31.040
is that um so there's that fight already going on story two is that while google

00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:34.720
is slamming on other companies to fix vulnerabilities they have their own

00:10:32.880 --> 00:10:39.279
problems google has received reports for vulnerability in rep webview which is a

00:10:36.880 --> 00:10:42.560
web renderer for Android and it affects jelly bean users the

00:10:41.040 --> 00:10:48.079
article that we have linked here to neowin is claiming that jellybean is 60 of

00:10:45.839 --> 00:10:52.720
users it's actually more about 46 percent of users of Android users of

00:10:50.160 --> 00:10:57.200
Android users yeah um if it's 60 if you include the things before

00:10:54.560 --> 00:11:00.320
jelly bean but i wasn't entirely certain if this vulnerability affected things

00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:05.120
that were before jelly bean as well right um so it's 46 or 60 i'm not

00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:09.760
entirely either way it's hundreds of millions yes it's a massive percentage

00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:13.360
of people and google is refusing to fix it and will not work on it at all

00:11:11.760 --> 00:11:19.040
because they will not work on anything at all that is pre 4.4 kitkat uh google

00:11:16.560 --> 00:11:23.519
is stating that if someone wants a fix for this they can submit the patch in

00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:26.880
the report and then google will be we'll we'll check it out and if it's

00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:30.720
legitimate they'll send it to oems and see what the oems and then the other

00:11:28.800 --> 00:11:35.440
option is they're saying the oems are more than welcome to patches themselves

00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:38.160
which i mean if anyone here has ever bought

00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:41.279
like i'm going to pick on samsung because they're the biggest ones

00:11:39.680 --> 00:11:48.320
manufacturer that makes software yeah any any any handset manufacturer that makes

00:11:45.040 --> 00:11:49.600
their own skin on top of Android and

00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:53.440
basically supports it until the next flagship is

00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:58.880
out oh what's that hold on new one's out but bye see ya um

00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:03.360
so so pretty much that's it um

00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:06.880
you get you get to buy a new device or you get uh and i mean

00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:09.760
i'm so sick of people saying oh well you should just root and run a different rom

00:12:08.959 --> 00:12:14.000
you nobody does that like someone does it

00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:18.079
yes you do that's fine but when you're looking at the

00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:22.240
46 to 60 percent possible metric of people an extremely small

00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:27.360
percentage of that the people who are still running jelly bean probably don't

00:12:24.800 --> 00:12:31.200
do that because they probably wouldn't still be running jelly bean and when you

00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:36.560
consider that there are new devices being sold today that have jelly now

00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:40.079
running jelly bean like this is a huge problem and like not a small amount of

00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:46.000
them there's a fair amount of devices being sold now that have jelly bean on them and i understand google's issue

00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:50.000
here where they have such diversity in the in the hardware that Android can be

00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:54.639
running on that they they can't individually support every device and

00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:58.720
ultimately it does fall on the handset makers to support the devices that they

00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:05.680
sell but the cold hard truth is the handset makers or device makers aren't doing it

00:13:03.680 --> 00:13:11.360
and if google doesn't support these older devices at least with something

00:13:07.680 --> 00:13:14.000
like uh with a like a a widespread

00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:17.680
fundamental flaw like this if they opt not to support it it ultimately reflects

00:13:15.760 --> 00:13:21.360
poorly on the Android experience and gives more ammunition to people like me

00:13:19.680 --> 00:13:26.560
you know it's amazing how many people uh called me uh an apple fanboy or like

00:13:24.160 --> 00:13:30.639
iphone fanboy in my nexus 6 review you know okay um i haven't even watched it

00:13:28.800 --> 00:13:34.720
i've heard of it and i'm going to watch it i just this last two weeks has been a

00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:39.519
blur um but can i finish that thought first sure it gives more ammunition to

00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:43.519
people like me who praise apple for supporting their older devices much much

00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:48.720
better than handset makers on the Android side i still use my iphone 4

00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:51.839
almost every day as an mp3 player and a video streamer just

00:13:50.880 --> 00:13:56.959
if i you know if i'm in the bath or something and i don't want to risk dropping my

00:13:54.880 --> 00:14:01.120
actual phone i'll grab it and i'll i'll throw it there and it still runs

00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:08.399
everything i need it to do my wife's samsung galaxy s vibrant that was the

00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:11.040
equivalent flagship Android phone

00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:16.000
okay aside from the micro usb connector obviously dying because every single

00:14:13.920 --> 00:14:20.480
micro usb connector with you know i think the one on my moto x is already

00:14:17.920 --> 00:14:24.639
going uh because they will all die eventually it's a terrible terrible

00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:28.880
connector aside from that dying on it that thing was freaking useless by the

00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:34.959
end of its life and that is a pattern that continues and comes right from

00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:38.800
google on the Android side when apple does not do that uh but that said i'm

00:14:37.920 --> 00:14:42.959
not an apple fanboy in fact my daily driver

00:14:41.839 --> 00:14:46.079
right now is an Android phone whoa look at that

00:14:44.959 --> 00:14:50.720
well you can't really tell because that's a twitter app but

00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:53.839
okay sorry what you're gonna say i'm i'm conflicted now because you've probably

00:14:52.720 --> 00:15:01.760
known for a while now i haven't been super stoked with my moto x because it only lasts for half a day but um

00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:05.760
there's this is my problem consistently with phones is there's no real great

00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:09.839
solution i don't want to go to iOS because i don't like iOS but

00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:13.760
things that i do on the phone a lot twitter instagram

00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:18.720
social media stuff email all of that would work totally fine on iOS actually

00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:22.079
instagram would work considerably better and i would know the camera's good um

00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:27.440
now i could just do more research and find an Android phone that has a good camera but iphone cameras are very good

00:15:25.920 --> 00:15:32.320
and it would be totally fine and my instagram would work better now a lot of

00:15:29.839 --> 00:15:36.720
app support on iOS is better which is frustrating because i'm an Android guy

00:15:33.920 --> 00:15:40.320
and i want to stick with Android now i'm interested in a turbo but don't even

00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:44.320
really sell them in canada they don't sell them at all in canada yeah yeah

00:15:42.560 --> 00:15:47.680
like you can you can try and import them you can do all this other crap but it's

00:15:45.680 --> 00:15:52.720
super frustrating like god this sucks there's no good solution

00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:53.839
on the Android side in my opinion at all

00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:58.079
in canada honestly not really well it was cheap

00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:02.880
battery was crap yeah that's a huge problem right like

00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:06.480
god mine the iphone's battery is crap too like i

00:16:05.040 --> 00:16:11.759
know if you actually i'm saying there's no good solution standby is excellent

00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:14.160
but the actual in-use battery life is is

00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:19.199
terrible like at uh at ces i was using the iphone 6 because um phantom glass

00:16:16.959 --> 00:16:24.480
doesn't have a cover for the droid turbo so i wasn't able to use it um but yeah

00:16:22.160 --> 00:16:27.680
so i was using the iphone 6 every day i was down to single digit battery at the

00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:31.519
end of the day and one day it just died while i was out and about i had to charge it i'm kind of sitting here going

00:16:29.839 --> 00:16:36.240
i can't even get through a day with this phone this is ridiculous

00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:40.000
whereas the droid turbo is awesome like every single day no matter what i do to

00:16:37.920 --> 00:16:44.160
it and like people in twitch chat are off referring phones that are

00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:47.759
not good oneplus one and actually the oneplus one is supposed

00:16:46.160 --> 00:16:52.639
to be okay i haven't used it the experience is not great i've used one of

00:16:50.079 --> 00:16:55.600
my friends it's not awesome and there's like stuff you have to go and fix

00:16:53.839 --> 00:16:59.279
yourself because it's just broken it's like something stupid

00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:02.800
yeah or they're too big or like other crap it's just oh

00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:08.480
i do not like phones because i think they're garbage you should get the um

00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:10.799
oh crap the cinco phone

00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:13.120
you know the cinco phone right i've yeah isn't this

00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:18.799
yeah okay we have to we have to play this we have to play this this is an adult swim

00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:22.880
thing who knows i might get a copyright strike or whatever i don't care okay

00:17:21.520 --> 00:17:28.720
what should be like cannot be played in your region oh no you're good hold on hold on evolutionary new device the new

00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:32.320
cinco phone from cinco mobile great thing about the cinco phone that has one

00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:40.000
button and one only let's say i want to call my mom press it on open both the antennas for

00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:42.080
better reception than the number five

00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:46.240
five five

00:17:43.520 --> 00:17:52.160
oh press no times for zero

00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:52.160
have you seen this

00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:03.280
and the receive best with it you should only

00:18:01.360 --> 00:18:07.679
make calls you'll never be bothered again at work your leisure time out in

00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:10.720
the golf course or at the beach so

00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:14.480
is that your phone like is is that the point we're at right now that doesn't

00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:17.919
solve any of my problems at all no no didn't even talk about battery life

00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:23.280
speaking of not solving problems uh nintendo to halt

00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:28.480
console and software distribution in brazil so this article is from

00:18:26.840 --> 00:18:34.960
digitalspy.co.uk i'm going to go ahead and post that in the chat here and what a

00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:37.440
bummer for brazilians yeah really like just

00:18:35.919 --> 00:18:42.480
i i don't blame nintendo for this

00:18:39.600 --> 00:18:45.520
at all yeah and and like it's it's not like they're like oh we're never gonna

00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:49.760
be distributing in brazil they're just talking about how they're having issues with it right now i'm assuming they're

00:18:48.320 --> 00:18:53.039
gonna try and fix those issues and then come back but so basically they they're

00:18:52.080 --> 00:18:56.640
they're they and their brazilian distributor who

00:18:55.280 --> 00:19:02.559
is apparently still handling distribution for that area just not in brazil

00:19:00.320 --> 00:19:06.480
specifically are have both said yeah like we're we're still we still have a

00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:12.400
relationship and we're we're committed to re-evaluating things as time goes on

00:19:09.600 --> 00:19:15.520
but basically um due to the and apparently there are

00:19:14.320 --> 00:19:21.360
other issues as well that they're not really getting into but they're saying the distribution model in the country is

00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:26.320
unsustainable and most of this is thanks to the extremely high import tariffs on

00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:32.960
anything that's manufactured outside of brazil now this is something that the brazilian government did a number of

00:19:29.280 --> 00:19:35.120
years back um to to to i guess

00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:39.760
incentivize incentivize companies to make their own manufacturing facilities

00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:44.799
within brazil because if you make something in brazil whether it's a car

00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:48.320
or a playstation 4 if you make something within the country it's not subject to

00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:53.200
those tariffs and i can understand why they might want to do this from a job

00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:57.919
creation perspective um i'm sorry did you like this yeah and also to encourage

00:19:55.840 --> 00:20:02.240
foreign investment into you know high technology manufacturing facilities

00:19:59.600 --> 00:20:07.760
within brazil but the reality of it is brazil is just brazil

00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:09.280
and setting up new manufacturing in you

00:20:07.760 --> 00:20:12.320
know if every country started doing this and you had to set up manufacturing in

00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:16.320
every single country not only would it drive up the cost of that product within

00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:21.440
that country it would drive it up everywhere because it creates all this overhead for these companies so

00:20:19.520 --> 00:20:25.600
um i mean to put this in perspective like people might be going well you know

00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:30.159
there's import tax in the uk and in canada and everywhere but to put in

00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:34.960
perspective the 400 playstation 4 this is from the digital spy.ca article

00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:40.080
uh was priced at eighteen hundred dollars after import fees when it

00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:42.240
arrived in brazil and that's converted

00:20:40.080 --> 00:20:48.080
that's not in brazilian dollars or anything like that that's just that's a

00:20:44.159 --> 00:20:50.080
straight currency conversion i mean

00:20:48.080 --> 00:20:54.799
it's not like it's not like brazil is dubai where you might expect the average

00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:58.080
resident to be able to afford to pay four plus times more than

00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:04.400
you know anyone else in the world and obviously i'm generalizing i know not everyone in

00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:08.159
dubai is is loaded but the point is it's not like brazil is an extraordinarily

00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:12.000
wealthy country where everyone is going to be walking around with two grand to

00:21:09.840 --> 00:21:15.360
drop on a game console and then you know over a hundred dollars per game i mean

00:21:13.840 --> 00:21:21.200
that's ridiculous um so basically yeah they're again they're

00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:25.120
gonna re-evaluate and i i hope it really sucks for people in brazil it really

00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:28.880
does because now how are they gonna how are they gonna get them the only other

00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:31.520
option is gonna be um i'm like okay how does it work if you

00:21:30.320 --> 00:21:35.760
bought something on like uh amazon.com and got it shipped

00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:40.159
to you yeah same thing the the import tariffs okay yeah absolutely

00:21:39.120 --> 00:21:45.200
rough all right so this is from uh hexis.net

00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:51.440
i'm just going to go ahead and take it again you got it okay ssds yeah yeah

00:21:47.520 --> 00:21:51.440
this is from hexis.net and

00:21:51.520 --> 00:21:58.720
a report on the state of flash memory and disk storage has predicted that

00:21:56.320 --> 00:22:04.480
using ssds will become more economical than hard drives for most purposes from

00:22:01.159 --> 00:22:06.480
2016 onward the prediction applies to

00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:09.760
almost all storage but seems like the highest capacities will remain the forte

00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:15.600
of spinning disks for a little bit longer uh wikibon followed up its 2009 report

00:22:13.600 --> 00:22:19.840
with another recently focusing on evolution of all flash array

00:22:17.120 --> 00:22:25.840
architectures so this one right here shows four year

00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:29.280
cost per terabyte for capacity disks and

00:22:25.840 --> 00:22:32.000
nand flash so they figure in 2016 so

00:22:29.280 --> 00:22:35.520
between 2015 and the beginning of 2016 we're gonna go from flash costing you

00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:42.559
know uh let's see a scale of this here so

00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:44.960
whatever 40 more all the way down to

00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:52.880
only about wow less than less than half massive drop yeah um so for one thing i

00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:55.200
haven't really seen uh this this exact

00:22:52.880 --> 00:23:01.200
ratio at this time so they're they're assuming that'll happen in 2015 so um

00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:06.640
good luck and two talking to a couple SSD makers at ces

00:23:03.520 --> 00:23:07.600
um they kind of went 2016 are you i

00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:11.760
um we're we're a long way away

00:23:10.080 --> 00:23:15.760
um and you look at the difficulty that even Intel has had moving to 14

00:23:13.919 --> 00:23:18.320
nanometer although we haven't seen any indication that 10 nanometers is going

00:23:17.360 --> 00:23:23.200
to slip but um

00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:27.200
yeah it would be great kind of insane like at

00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:32.000
the same time i just had the problem where my SSD completely died

00:23:29.600 --> 00:23:36.080
um and while all right SSD failure rates are actually

00:23:33.760 --> 00:23:40.000
really good the problem is not really recoverable so i'm still going to want

00:23:38.080 --> 00:23:44.559
to have most of my mass storage on hard disk anyways that's actually a very good

00:23:41.760 --> 00:23:49.039
point not something that i thought about um when it comes to when it comes to

00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:53.600
mass storage being able to buy like a terabyte SSD for my boot drive

00:23:51.360 --> 00:23:56.720
sweet and have it be like totally affordable like that's awesome i totally

00:23:55.679 --> 00:24:02.159
want to be able to do that you're still not going to archive on it i'm still not going to archive on it right not at all

00:24:00.080 --> 00:24:06.320
there's no way my nas will be running hard disks

00:24:04.080 --> 00:24:10.640
unless something super major changes but i seriously doubt it because that way if

00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:14.000
there is a huge failure i can just be like okay well i can probably scrub data

00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:16.960
off this that's a good point because i hate running hard drives on anything

00:24:15.679 --> 00:24:21.360
portable like i thought ipods were insane yeah when

00:24:19.520 --> 00:24:25.919
they had hard drives are you are you just

00:24:23.360 --> 00:24:30.080
asking for this to die um like i was one of those i was one of those freaks that

00:24:27.679 --> 00:24:34.720
bought an rca lira because i bought a zen uh zen creative

00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:39.039
some other stuff because it wasn't a hard drive yeah

00:24:36.159 --> 00:24:42.960
i paid way too much for my for my lira but and it only had i think uh i think i

00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:47.039
had one and my girlfriend at the time had one one of us had a 64 meg and the

00:24:45.360 --> 00:24:54.000
other one had a 32 meg so we're talking like 10 to 20 mp3 music files on this thing i

00:24:51.520 --> 00:24:59.360
miss those things but i was like okay and but but but and and so that was like

00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:02.559
compared to people with ipods right but there was a justification behind this so

00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:07.600
number one is it wasn't a hard drive based so flash storage yay throw it around and

00:25:05.679 --> 00:25:13.360
all that's good and number two is that at the time i was using a sony discman

00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:18.640
anyway so when you're burning yourself a mix cd that's only going to be about you

00:25:15.760 --> 00:25:22.799
know 16 to 22 songs or because you didn't have mp3 cds at the time where

00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:25.760
you could just burn the files to it so you were only going to have about 20

00:25:24.320 --> 00:25:29.440
songs on a disk anyway so i was like okay well this thing is the equivalent

00:25:27.520 --> 00:25:32.640
of whatever mix cd that i would be burning for myself and yeah it's a

00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:36.640
couple hundred bucks or whatever but at least it's at least it's pretty rugged i

00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:41.200
used to i used to love the days of like all right i have woken up time to change

00:25:39.520 --> 00:25:44.799
what songs are on my mp3 player because i can only hold one album worth at a

00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:49.360
time that was always entertaining um but yeah

00:25:47.360 --> 00:25:53.760
i i don't see myself changing our archival storage mediums for a very long

00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:58.320
time on the subject of archival storage mediums this is really interesting maybe

00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:01.840
i just haven't been paying oh we haven't been saying who's been posting articles

00:26:00.320 --> 00:26:05.520
in the forum we're bad people it was i hammy for the esports thing good bytes

00:26:04.080 --> 00:26:08.720
shout out to you for the google not patching the security whole thing opcode

00:26:07.919 --> 00:26:15.279
for something x tanks layer x for nintendo halt console

00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:17.440
and uh oh no okay that was it okay so

00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:22.880
this one's by aming new service allows you to rent your hard

00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:28.080
disk space uh have you posted the article already okay awesome i'm going

00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:33.120
to go ahead and pull up the myce.com article here but it's called storage and

00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:38.799
it's spelled wrong because that's the hipster web 2.0

00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:42.400
yeah like like the razor sirens like what are you guys doing

00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:45.880
it's it's like you're celebrities and you're naming your children

00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:52.159
so storage s-t-o-r-j dot io is where you can go to

00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:53.919
learn about this and it sounds really

00:26:52.159 --> 00:27:00.720
cool on the surface um last year they raised about 215 000

00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:06.080
in bitcoins apparently according to this article that's um

00:27:03.120 --> 00:27:10.080
using today's bitcoin valuation so at the time if they converted them

00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:14.400
promptly then that was actually a lot yeah a lot

00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:19.520
more money but the way it's going to work is it's a peer-to-peer network that

00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:24.240
allows you to allocate storage on your computer so on your hard drive or SSD

00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:28.640
whatever the case may be and go okay yeah i've got 300 gigs of storage i'm

00:27:25.840 --> 00:27:34.320
not using and then it actually gives you that much storage space elsewhere on the

00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:35.440
network to use as as cloud-based storage

00:27:34.320 --> 00:27:39.039
yeah very very cool and then sorry go ahead

00:27:37.919 --> 00:27:43.760
there's there's other ways you can utilize this too i believe you can request more but then you have to pay

00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:48.640
for it yes and then other people can kind of rent out their space yes yeah so

00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:53.279
that's pretty cool like one quick thing to note about the rent out your space is

00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:57.440
you get paid in i don't remember exactly what it's called but it's like storage i

00:27:55.919 --> 00:28:04.799
o coin storage storage coin x yeah a digital

00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:06.000
uh a digital value atta veluta i haven't

00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:09.520
seen this word before i'm gonna call it currency uh which can be exchanged for

00:28:08.320 --> 00:28:14.080
real money yeah so you don't actually get paid to

00:28:11.840 --> 00:28:17.279
like your paypal in dollars uh

00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:20.240
you get paid in this thing so you can figure that out convert it or whatever

00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:24.240
but i mean think about it like if you planned to use this service in the long

00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:30.159
term you could go ahead and invest in a large raid array or something like that

00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:32.080
you could rent out until you fill it and

00:28:30.159 --> 00:28:36.320
then you could start using your your stored like your your your built-up

00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:40.720
storage currency to rent from other people until you can save up some money

00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:44.320
in order to you know buy a new raider or whatever else like i can i can see this

00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:50.720
being a really really cool way to get the most out of your personality remember is that current cloud-based

00:28:48.399 --> 00:28:56.480
storage is not that expensive to be able to be honest and this is not that

00:28:53.840 --> 00:28:59.840
no this is supposed to be a lot cheaper so you're probably not and then after

00:28:58.399 --> 00:29:03.440
their cuts and stuff you're probably not going to get a ton for renting out your

00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:07.440
space but if you weren't using it anyways yeah then that's still cool and

00:29:05.919 --> 00:29:11.279
you might actually be able to theoretically make more money off of

00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:14.480
renting your hard drive space use a lot less power

00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:18.640
uh compared to running bitcoin binders right which

00:29:16.399 --> 00:29:22.880
would be kind of funny and i mean one way to look at it too is you're you it's

00:29:20.880 --> 00:29:25.919
it's more like storage shifting almost at a certain point because you could

00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:30.159
kind of go yeah i don't need all the space i have on my desktop computer

00:29:28.559 --> 00:29:34.960
which i hardly ever touch anymore because i'm always running around with my notebook or my smartphone or whatever

00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:38.159
else but you're converting that to cloud storage that you can use in your smart

00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:40.559
with your smartphone pretty cool and it's so the way the way it works is it

00:29:39.760 --> 00:29:47.840
actually breaks up blocks and those are either 32

00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:52.399
meg or 8 meg if i recall correctly yeah 8 meg or 32 meg blocks and then it

00:29:50.320 --> 00:29:57.039
actually distributes everything all over the place so aside from encrypting them

00:29:54.799 --> 00:30:00.960
you shouldn't act like one person's hard drive aside from having an encrypted

00:29:58.720 --> 00:30:07.039
version of your data shouldn't even have the entire the entire piece of data in

00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:09.440
many cases so it's in theory secure i'm

00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:12.399
not endorsing its security yeah let's be really clear about that this is

00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:17.279
something i hadn't heard of until now and there is definitely um a gray zone

00:30:16.240 --> 00:30:22.640
here so each block each block of data has a

00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:27.679
unique hash it should be possible to add illegal content to a so-called gray list

00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:33.279
and then it should be possible for users to allow or disallow gray list content

00:30:31.440 --> 00:30:41.600
to be stored on their hard drive because this creates a huge a huge liability

00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:44.080
concern like what if i get raided

00:30:41.600 --> 00:30:47.200
because my hard drive has a bunch of child porn on it like let's go worst

00:30:45.679 --> 00:30:51.679
case scenario it's got a bunch of child porn on it that i didn't even know was

00:30:49.120 --> 00:30:55.360
there and was encrypted so i i didn't even have any way of discovering that it

00:30:53.760 --> 00:30:59.760
was there um and so

00:30:57.919 --> 00:31:03.360
probably and then the other way around and then the other way around you use

00:31:01.279 --> 00:31:05.679
this maliciously to try and take blame off of yourself for doing something like

00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:10.480
that so yeah and it'll use your bandwidth of

00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:14.399
course because the way it works is it's kind of a it's a mesh based network so

00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:18.960
in order to keep speeds high you're actually pulling from multiple sources

00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:22.799
and in this much the same way like just like just like torrenting you

00:31:20.880 --> 00:31:26.559
would be you would have multiple seeds including yourself uploading files to

00:31:24.559 --> 00:31:30.960
other people at the same time so very cool idea i

00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:34.799
might consider you know giving it a try be it's a very interesting thing i'd be

00:31:33.520 --> 00:31:40.480
interested in giving it a try too i'm definitely not going to check off that gray content thing no definitely not um

00:31:39.120 --> 00:31:45.360
even though it might not even help because i don't know how they're flagging grey content but i'm sure it's

00:31:43.519 --> 00:31:48.960
not very effective yeah i'm sure it's not going to capture stuff like child

00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:52.000
porn i'm sure if it captured anything it would be stuff like used read the file

00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:55.440
name it's not very effective

00:31:55.440 --> 00:32:01.360
called jpeg1 didn't work uh

00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:06.320
but yeah yeah i'm sure it's more for like movies

00:32:03.200 --> 00:32:07.120
more nintendo's filed match uh iron man

00:32:06.320 --> 00:32:16.480
four okay well you can't have it more nintendo bs uh nintendo is no longer

00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:17.840
including in the new ds xl excuse me 3ds

00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:22.799
xl this time it's their fault um

00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:26.720
like really guys this time it's like super their fault this was posted by

00:32:24.320 --> 00:32:31.120
rohith kumar sp i'm gonna go ahead and pull this up on uh pull this up on my

00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:36.320
computer here but the the new nintendo 3ds xl does not come with an ac adapter

00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:41.919
nintendo says there's a good reason for that and that's that rather than to

00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:45.519
raise the cost of the 3ds xl by charging consumers for a component they may

00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:50.080
already own we are giving them the option to only buy it if they need an ac

00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:54.320
adapter and that is an interesting argument and you

00:32:52.399 --> 00:32:59.440
could probably make that argument for something like

00:32:55.519 --> 00:33:03.279
a smartphone that uses micro usb

00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:05.360
instead of a proprietary connector that

00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:10.399
they haven't even been using for that long i mean if you're a ds light owner

00:33:07.679 --> 00:33:14.000
that's not gonna work so nintendo

00:33:12.080 --> 00:33:17.679
uh and apparently it's an eight dollar adder although luke was saying that when

00:33:16.320 --> 00:33:21.679
he saw them in the store they were significantly more than yeah well it's

00:33:19.600 --> 00:33:24.640
an eight dollar from nintendo if you buy it from a brick and mortar or something

00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:29.120
it could be more expensive i mean can you imagine getting giving that to someone for

00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:33.200
christmas there's there's stories in the news article about people that bought it

00:33:31.120 --> 00:33:37.519
for christmas for their kid with a game the kid opened both of them and was like

00:33:35.120 --> 00:33:43.679
oh crap because this is already a thing in uh certain asian markets europe and

00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:44.720
uh japan for sure yeah yeah um so like

00:33:43.679 --> 00:33:50.799
it's already a thing in places and people are already upset about it people are going well like you don't do this in

00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:55.440
the states so their decision was to also do it in the states that's not how you

00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:58.399
solve that problem oh my goodness you just stopped doing it everywhere because

00:33:56.640 --> 00:34:04.559
like okay i've owned iterations of uh ds where

00:34:02.399 --> 00:34:09.119
i've got a 2ds now right yeah where if i bought this new one it would be fine but

00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:13.200
if i bought the new one i would give my 2ds to someone with the charger and not

00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:16.960
everyone not everyone is brandon and just buys

00:34:15.359 --> 00:34:20.879
half a dozen charging cables for everything they own and yeah and another

00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:24.320
simple solution here would be for nintendo to stop using a proprietary

00:34:22.560 --> 00:34:30.079
connector it's just a 5 volt power source there is absolutely no reason on

00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:34.240
i thought it was mini-b it looks like mini b when i had uh what was it my ds

00:34:33.119 --> 00:34:37.839
light so admittedly a different connector i thought it was mini b so i

00:34:36.399 --> 00:34:40.960
lost my charger for a while and then just went and found a mini b cable and

00:34:39.839 --> 00:34:47.040
was like why doesn't it work what's wrong

00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:47.040
what is this

00:34:47.359 --> 00:34:52.399
so there's new macbook air rumors um

00:34:50.560 --> 00:34:56.000
and there's there's conflicting reports i was hearing for a while that they were

00:34:54.399 --> 00:35:00.560
going to do away with the magdot connector their magnetic charging cable

00:34:58.160 --> 00:35:04.640
i was hearing um so this is this is the most recent this is the most recent

00:35:02.240 --> 00:35:10.640
version so it's rumored that it will be so thin that it will not have room for a

00:35:07.839 --> 00:35:17.599
3.5 millimeter audio jack which is absolutely ridiculous

00:35:13.040 --> 00:35:19.920
um i i cannot i cannot imagine apple

00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:26.560
being i shouldn't say that i truly hope apple wouldn't be that

00:35:22.560 --> 00:35:28.079
stupid um so stupid as to remove the

00:35:26.560 --> 00:35:32.800
three and a half inch connector maybe the justification is you know we're

00:35:30.160 --> 00:35:37.440
going to have an awesome new bluetooth beats headphone or something like that

00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:40.079
but that is ridiculous um

00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:43.599
so so there's other stuff it will apparently have a retina screen dir

00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:49.760
it's a 12 it's going to be super thin it's uh allegedly going to have a fanless design

00:35:47.839 --> 00:35:54.560
so so far it actually sounds very similar to the zenbook ux305 that we

00:35:52.320 --> 00:36:00.160
checked out at ces which is also extraordinarily thin has a 3200 by 1800

00:35:58.640 --> 00:36:04.160
pixel display is fanless which is cool and features a

00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:08.560
broadwell m processor which is what allows it to be fanless and still

00:36:05.520 --> 00:36:10.400
deliver decent performance um so the new

00:36:08.560 --> 00:36:15.520
macbook air will apparently have a usb 3.1 interface rather than Thunderbolt

00:36:14.160 --> 00:36:20.240
which is fascinating to me because apple's been

00:36:17.680 --> 00:36:24.800
the only one that really has glommed onto the Thunderbolt standard and many

00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:30.320
mac people are already invested into the Thunderbolt ecosystem now bear in mind

00:36:26.480 --> 00:36:33.440
usb 3.1 at 10 gigabit per second is and

00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:35.359
with up to 100 watts of power output is

00:36:33.440 --> 00:36:38.880
a very capable capable connector

00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:42.800
but um it's still a little weird it's still

00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:48.240
pretty bizarre to me because the footprint of a usb 3.1

00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:51.040
a plug is actually quite large they might have been able to get two

00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:54.960
Thunderbolt plugs in that area yeah and this picture shows uh shows looks like a

00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:58.240
Thunderbolt shows an a connector and also shows what appears to be a Thunderbolt connector but this might

00:36:57.200 --> 00:37:03.920
this might be an older one or something like i'm not sure the the rumors are kind of all over the place right now but

00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:09.200
one one challenge right off the bat although usb 3.1 should address this

00:37:06.640 --> 00:37:14.000
with display over usb being much easier is that people are not necessarily going

00:37:11.920 --> 00:37:16.720
to be set up but then again i was going to say set up with all the you know

00:37:15.520 --> 00:37:22.640
cables and everything that you need but then apple's never been ashamed of charging you 60 for a cable with your

00:37:20.560 --> 00:37:25.680
with your macbook anyway so who knows what they're going to do but i

00:37:24.240 --> 00:37:31.040
know for sure that i want to check out the ux uh 305 that zen book from ASUS

00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:36.240
because that one looks outstanding yeah broadwell while not exciting on the

00:37:33.760 --> 00:37:41.280
desktop um looks like it's super cool on the laptop really cool on laptop really

00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:47.760
cool on notebook did you see the 12.5 inch ASUS like super thin

00:37:44.640 --> 00:37:49.599
uh transformer book chi t300 tablet no i

00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:54.079
was checking out all the lenovo stuff they have a lot of really cool yogas

00:37:51.839 --> 00:37:57.040
which are super crazy thing yogas that are basically as thin as tablets when

00:37:55.920 --> 00:38:01.280
you fold them a yoga could could win me over i'm

00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:05.839
really disappointed that dell kind of abandoned

00:38:02.839 --> 00:38:08.160
the the ferris wheel design for their

00:38:05.839 --> 00:38:11.760
convertibles um because i mean the new xps 13 we do have a review unit coming

00:38:10.240 --> 00:38:16.240
and i am going to check it out it does look it does look pretty awesome but i

00:38:14.160 --> 00:38:21.200
really really wish it was a two in one because even though i used the tablet

00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:23.680
functionality of this only very rarely

00:38:21.200 --> 00:38:27.680
it's still nice it's nice to have and the the hinge mechanism has been

00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:31.680
robust enough that it hasn't been a problem for me at all and i don't mind

00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:34.400
the extra the extra thickness in order to have that so i would have i would

00:38:33.119 --> 00:38:40.240
have liked to still just have that opportunity the other thing i'm really disappointed about and i'm already

00:38:37.839 --> 00:38:45.119
planning to rip into dell about for a good minute of the review is that the

00:38:42.640 --> 00:38:50.000
top end sku has only eight gigs of RAM yeah like really

00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:55.040
it's like they it's like they want me to only get a year out of my xps 13. gigs

00:38:52.400 --> 00:39:00.480
of RAM is like when i'm like yeah buy this kit so you can upgrade later yeah

00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:09.040
um all right AMD employee confirms new GPU with hbm

00:39:05.520 --> 00:39:11.200
so hbn or high bandwidth memory is a

00:39:09.040 --> 00:39:15.920
stacked RAM technology co-developed by AMD and sk hynix similar to hybrid

00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:20.720
memory cube which is something that micron was working on and that NVIDIA

00:39:18.240 --> 00:39:25.280
was backing and what had planned to release the GPU with this year but since

00:39:23.040 --> 00:39:31.280
NVIDIA bet wrong it looks like they're going to be stuck with gddr5 until

00:39:28.440 --> 00:39:35.760
2016 when they are going to be apparently jumping on the hbm bandwagon

00:39:34.640 --> 00:39:39.680
as well so why do we need hbm well there's a

00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:44.720
couple of good reasons dramatically better bandwidth we're talking on the

00:39:41.200 --> 00:39:47.119
order of four and a half times insane

00:39:44.720 --> 00:39:52.000
right from the start and higher bandwidth is good not only because it

00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:57.599
allows the GPU to transfer data extremely quickly from its video memory

00:39:54.560 --> 00:39:59.760
and to its video memory but also because

00:39:57.599 --> 00:40:04.800
it simplifies the design of the chips and the pcbs lowering the cost of the of

00:40:02.640 --> 00:40:07.520
the graphics card for the end user in theory probably not probably they'll

00:40:06.160 --> 00:40:11.839
just take more margin on it but you know how it is in the long in the very long

00:40:09.839 --> 00:40:17.599
term it will drive costs down because if you don't have to have these massive

00:40:14.599 --> 00:40:20.079
384-bit 512-bit

00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:24.000
uh designs that's a lot of pins on the bottom of the GPU that's a lot of memory

00:40:21.920 --> 00:40:28.000
modules and that's a lot of traces then it does lower the cost significantly um

00:40:27.200 --> 00:40:33.440
so there's that uh oh the rumored r9 380 x

00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:40.000
will include it that is supposed to be a 20 nanometer GPU and due sometime in the

00:40:35.760 --> 00:40:41.760
next few months here um the r9 390x is

00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:46.000
also rumored and is rumored to come with water cooling from the factory

00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:50.000
just like the uh wow i'm drawing a blank r9 295 x2

00:40:48.320 --> 00:40:53.280
and i think that's pretty much it it should be noted that our source for this

00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:56.319
is wccf tech so i i saying that at the end so

00:40:55.280 --> 00:41:01.200
everyone wouldn't just tune out immediately and most of this stuff looks

00:40:58.880 --> 00:41:05.359
pretty credible and does align with stuff that we've heard already and the

00:41:03.040 --> 00:41:09.839
fact that the source for some of this info at least was the linkedin pages of

00:41:08.240 --> 00:41:13.200
AMD employees one of which seems to have been made at

00:41:11.680 --> 00:41:18.800
least not public because i couldn't see it at this point um looks like it could be

00:41:16.640 --> 00:41:22.560
pretty credible yeah yeah and it's not like it's been it's not like hbm has

00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:27.440
been a secret hynix has been sampling it since uh late last year yeah so it's

00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:32.880
been available um i'm i'm pretty excited to see what that brings uh NVIDIA

00:41:30.160 --> 00:41:38.160
may end up in in a position where for the first time in a while they have

00:41:35.599 --> 00:41:42.079
maybe a performance competitive part but perhaps not a cost competitive part and

00:41:40.640 --> 00:41:45.599
they might have to give up some of those juicy margins they've been making for

00:41:43.680 --> 00:41:49.200
the last couple of years because uh titan x which is what the internet is

00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:55.680
kind of calling it now the fully enabled maxwell that should

00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:58.160
power um you know tesla quadro and then

00:41:55.680 --> 00:42:02.000
very high-end titan-grade gpus on the desktop

00:42:00.240 --> 00:42:05.359
is still out there you know we don't know too much about it other than that

00:42:03.440 --> 00:42:10.160
it'll apparently have around 3 000 cuda cores uh but it's going to be a really large

00:42:08.560 --> 00:42:15.200
die and therefore very expensive to produce since NVIDIA is had planned to

00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:19.680
skip 20 nanometer and instead go straight to 16 nanometer except that

00:42:17.520 --> 00:42:22.880
that's been delayed by tsmc due to difficulties and samsung as well for

00:42:21.520 --> 00:42:27.200
that matter Intel's the only one with working one x-class nanometer manufacturing

00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:33.680
right now and i don't think Intel's gonna run around making gpus for NVIDIA anytime soon

00:42:31.520 --> 00:42:37.839
although maybe that would be a really interesting collab

00:42:35.839 --> 00:42:41.920
i seriously don't think it would happen totally not happening Intel always

00:42:39.839 --> 00:42:47.200
reserves their best for themselves and apparently apple no yeah um so that that

00:42:44.880 --> 00:42:50.400
was rumored a couple weeks ago i think but um

00:42:49.520 --> 00:42:56.079
hmm could be an interesting year AMD might uh might be able to fight back i mean

00:42:53.680 --> 00:43:00.560
freesync is a big one because i've been i've been blowing that g-sync trumpet

00:42:58.079 --> 00:43:04.880
for a long time not because i love NVIDIA so huggy muggy much and i think

00:43:03.119 --> 00:43:08.560
they're just the cuddliest most wonderfulest people ever but because

00:43:06.240 --> 00:43:11.920
it's a legitimately much better gaming experience and if freesync delivers on

00:43:10.720 --> 00:43:16.720
what it promises and we're going to have free sync monitors coming into our our

00:43:14.319 --> 00:43:20.240
office here soon then that'll be a cool showdown i mean

00:43:18.400 --> 00:43:23.200
what else is there NVIDIA still has GeForce experience which i personally

00:43:21.920 --> 00:43:28.800
don't use because i have no problem configuring my in-game settings um their

00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:30.240
3d is much better but stereo 3d is

00:43:28.800 --> 00:43:33.359
basically dead in the water at this point in the multi monitor and then

00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:38.960
multi monitor say AMD is going to have the edge there yeah so

00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:42.400
freezing could be a huge win for them especially if monitor availability is as

00:43:40.800 --> 00:43:46.480
good as they're saying with i think it was 11 monitors

00:43:44.400 --> 00:43:51.280
now and then up to 20 by the end of the year wow

00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:52.640
and uh talking to ASUS um they were it's

00:43:51.280 --> 00:43:57.760
funny talking to them at ces they actually weren't sure if their monitor

00:43:55.200 --> 00:44:02.400
that they know works with freesync was even going to work with it because

00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:06.400
communication was kind of blue all over the place but now it's come out that

00:44:04.720 --> 00:44:11.200
even though that monitor is not freesync certified there is no mandatory

00:44:09.200 --> 00:44:15.920
certification process or anything like that so if ASUS wants to have a freesync

00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:20.400
compatible monitor that's not certified that's fine and it'll work just fine

00:44:18.240 --> 00:44:25.359
interesting very cool as long as the scalar technology and the firmware on

00:44:22.319 --> 00:44:28.400
the monitor both support the tech right

00:44:25.359 --> 00:44:29.280
yeah yeah cool hey that's interesting

00:44:28.400 --> 00:44:33.359
all right i wonder what the certification process is because i i

00:44:31.440 --> 00:44:38.400
still see buyer confidence being a little iffy if it's not actually

00:44:34.560 --> 00:44:41.040
certified i think so too and um AMD i

00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:44.240
believe said that there's okay i can't remember what they said about the fee

00:44:42.319 --> 00:44:49.359
structure so basically don't quote me on this but it was something along the

00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:50.880
lines of they're not charging for like a

00:44:49.359 --> 00:44:54.880
badge on the box the way that NVIDIA has in the past with

00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:59.119
certain technologies or the way that uh you know someone like mlg will charge

00:44:56.800 --> 00:45:04.079
thank you to have like the mlg certified gaming monitor or whatever

00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:05.920
else but i believe there would be a cost

00:45:04.079 --> 00:45:09.839
associated with the certification process right just because those things

00:45:08.240 --> 00:45:12.800
do cost money because they would likely be done by a third party not by AMD at

00:45:12.079 --> 00:45:19.119
all which is better which is life yeah yeah

00:45:16.880 --> 00:45:23.200
okay uh oh should we do our should we do our sponsors for the day that's probably

00:45:20.720 --> 00:45:26.400
not a bad idea i love it when this works out like this i'm wearing my squarespace

00:45:25.280 --> 00:45:30.480
shirt today it's like so comfy and like it's

00:45:28.720 --> 00:45:33.359
american apparel and the printing on it is like excellent it still looks like

00:45:31.760 --> 00:45:38.319
the day i got it i love this shirt i know i'm just squarespace.com they make

00:45:35.520 --> 00:45:42.400
great shirts well it's an american pearl shirt yeah

00:45:40.880 --> 00:45:49.280
they put their logos on they put their logos on great shirts and they put your

00:45:45.839 --> 00:45:51.440
logos on great website squarespace.com

00:45:49.280 --> 00:45:55.280
you put your logos on great websites yes but they help you they provide the

00:45:53.119 --> 00:46:00.079
platform that lets you put your logo on a great looking website squarespace

00:45:57.040 --> 00:46:02.560
makes it easy to design and build and

00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:06.720
host a gorgeous website that works great on a computer works great on a tablet

00:46:04.560 --> 00:46:11.680
works great on a smartphone and scales appropriately and just generally puts

00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:17.040
your best image forward when people visit your site whether it's for a store

00:46:13.680 --> 00:46:18.800
or a blog or just a you know hey it's

00:46:17.040 --> 00:46:22.960
this site is about me and here's a picture of my cat squarespace has got

00:46:20.880 --> 00:46:26.480
you taken care of and they've even they even offer a lot of other services as

00:46:24.640 --> 00:46:31.200
well so little things like the fact that they have their logo creator means that

00:46:28.720 --> 00:46:34.560
you can save your brand new company a couple bucks because that kind of stuff

00:46:32.800 --> 00:46:37.359
isn't cheap if you outsource it by giving you something that might not be

00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:41.839
the most unique thing in the world but it's at least a functional logo right

00:46:39.920 --> 00:46:46.880
off the bat they also allow you to have affordable images that are shoot who was

00:46:44.880 --> 00:46:49.680
the getty images was the image service that they worked with so that you can

00:46:48.160 --> 00:46:55.920
have beautiful images on your website instead of whatever it is that you created in ms paint which by the way uh

00:46:54.000 --> 00:47:00.160
we'll be doing some ms paint artwork on the after party for the custom forum

00:46:58.319 --> 00:47:04.720
badges that we owe some people from the tip starter campaign and basically it's

00:47:02.960 --> 00:47:08.640
uh yeah what else is there that's really left to say right if you buy a whole

00:47:06.079 --> 00:47:13.520
year at a time then they throw in a basic cost domain and they'll cover that

00:47:11.359 --> 00:47:16.960
for the first year and it's got everything from simple tools to ones

00:47:15.200 --> 00:47:20.880
that even guys with some web development experience can really sink their teeth

00:47:18.400 --> 00:47:24.079
into to customize their viewers experience and yeah basically they're

00:47:22.720 --> 00:47:28.560
good guys they've been sponsoring us a long time and if you're looking to build a website i can't think of anything that

00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:33.440
makes a i can't think of anything that makes more sense in squarespace i was going to

00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:37.040
i was going to kind of qualify that statement i was going to say you can't think of anything that makes a lot more

00:47:35.839 --> 00:47:40.960
sense than squarespace but i legitimately i can't think of anything that makes

00:47:39.680 --> 00:47:47.680
more sense than squarespace so visit squarespace.com yeah for a free trial and 10 off yeah

00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:51.920
all right let's go on to our next sponsor today funny story um before we

00:47:50.400 --> 00:47:55.760
before we move on i have a friend that made a website in wordpress and i'm

00:47:53.760 --> 00:47:59.920
probably going to be getting them a squarespace account for them so that i

00:47:58.000 --> 00:48:02.720
can read their website on squarespace because i'm highly frustrated with

00:48:01.200 --> 00:48:08.000
wordpress are they getting your help with it like is that the problem ah yeah

00:48:08.800 --> 00:48:13.920
that's why i've actually it's been avoiding saying that

00:48:12.480 --> 00:48:18.400
throughout the time you've been talking about your friend's website i was like why does he keep bringing up his

00:48:16.240 --> 00:48:21.839
friend's website yes um it's like the same thing where if

00:48:20.800 --> 00:48:27.839
i'm building someone's computer sometimes i'll make them get a better case right so i'm just like i don't want

00:48:25.119 --> 00:48:31.920
to deal with this thing anyways but if you don't want to ask

00:48:30.480 --> 00:48:37.599
luke to help you with the coding for your website boom segway there's

00:48:34.800 --> 00:48:42.559

00:50:08.800 --> 00:50:16.559
internet's freaking out and people are bros be mad and um their

00:50:14.720 --> 00:50:20.559
their butts hurt and they shouldn't be all this kind of stuff

00:50:18.079 --> 00:50:25.520
so it's it's been delayed several times so there's that um delayed again to the

00:50:23.200 --> 00:50:28.079
24th of march and what i have to say about all this is

00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:32.559
a screw you rockstar for not at least

00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:37.200
trying to get the pc version out in a somewhat timely manner like right near

00:50:34.960 --> 00:50:41.520
the ps4 and xbox one versions at the very least and two

00:50:39.520 --> 00:50:46.160
screw you guys who are complaining about them delaying it because they've come

00:50:43.440 --> 00:50:50.960
right out and said it needs a few more weeks of testing and polish to make it

00:50:48.400 --> 00:50:55.680
as good as it can be yes please shut up just shut your mouth god they've said

00:50:54.160 --> 00:50:59.040
we're getting it they're not just going console exclusive

00:50:58.000 --> 00:51:03.599
on it which is something we could legitimately be mad about it and they've

00:51:01.760 --> 00:51:08.359
said the reason we don't have it yet is because they want to port it properly

00:51:10.079 --> 00:51:17.520
i mean again screw you rockstar for opening up your pre-orders

00:51:14.880 --> 00:51:21.440
um and all of you guys please don't pre-order it because we shouldn't be

00:51:19.040 --> 00:51:25.520
giving them money until they deliver it to us but we also shouldn't be upset

00:51:23.760 --> 00:51:28.640
that they haven't delivered it to us yet if it's not ready yet i'd rather have a

00:51:27.280 --> 00:51:32.640
finished game and you know what i've even seen people posting on reddit and

00:51:30.720 --> 00:51:36.640
even in our forum i thought i saw one of these it's like i'd rather have it have

00:51:34.559 --> 00:51:41.760
a few bugs and be playing it now you would be saying the exact opposite

00:51:39.119 --> 00:51:47.040
thing if this was assassin's creed unity or watch dogs we have mine do watch dogs

00:51:45.359 --> 00:51:51.920
a far cry come out we have watch dogs come out ubisoft

00:51:48.839 --> 00:51:53.119
hooray we have h1z1 we have all changes

00:51:51.920 --> 00:51:58.960
on my shirt various problems um we're gonna get such

00:51:56.000 --> 00:52:02.559
a huge viewer account um but uh yeah so like all these launches that just

00:52:00.720 --> 00:52:07.040
cover the nipples with the powered by Linus tech tips i should be okay

00:52:05.440 --> 00:52:10.640
i'm gonna claim that twitch told me that but they definitely didn't

00:52:09.119 --> 00:52:16.160
uh i feel like you're gonna screw up at some point oh no no oh yeah he made it

00:52:13.359 --> 00:52:20.720
okay um nipple management expert we have all these terrible

00:52:18.960 --> 00:52:24.720
all these terrible launches that people freak out about

00:52:22.119 --> 00:52:28.079
justifiably and then we have someone go like okay we don't want to be in that

00:52:26.400 --> 00:52:34.000
boat let's fix this before we launch it and people freak out what are you doing

00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:36.880
god we have to be united and decide what

00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:40.800
we want what we want is games that work work at the beginning yes when we first

00:52:39.200 --> 00:52:46.000
installed them without 20 gigs of patches or whatever else and then like

00:52:43.599 --> 00:52:49.680
oh man what what what was it unity that came up with like you should probably

00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:52.240
have a 680 was that unity security i don't know

00:52:50.640 --> 00:52:56.640
some game i don't know i don't care already but um some game came out

00:52:54.240 --> 00:52:58.960
probably unity that needed way too high performance stuff and everyone freaked

00:52:57.839 --> 00:53:03.839
out because they couldn't run it and then gta comes out and they're like oh i

00:53:01.119 --> 00:53:08.160
expected it to like look better and have higher requirements i'm like god damn it

00:53:06.000 --> 00:53:12.480
pc community anyways sorry

00:53:10.960 --> 00:53:16.079
all right yeah i guess that's all there is to

00:53:14.000 --> 00:53:20.079
really say about that isn't there um more gaming news this is from

00:53:18.400 --> 00:53:26.880
playstation.com sony is uh making 50 million dollars a

00:53:24.079 --> 00:53:30.640
month from playstation plus isn't that incredible do you want to post this uh

00:53:28.960 --> 00:53:34.720
it's okay i can do it i got it yeah you sure because i got it i got it i got it

00:53:32.480 --> 00:53:39.280
no i got it i did it first boom oh you lost um

00:53:36.559 --> 00:53:47.119
so let's go ahead and fire this up no freaking wonder microsoft got all over

00:53:43.200 --> 00:53:49.200
that that xbox live gold nonsense and

00:53:47.119 --> 00:53:53.520
turning multiplayer into a paid service because if you're gonna try and tell me

00:53:51.119 --> 00:53:57.680
that you're spending 50. 50 million dollars a month to make the online

00:53:55.920 --> 00:54:02.319
gaming experience would you pay five bucks a month for steam

00:54:00.240 --> 00:54:07.040
does it include content uh no no of course not well it includes

00:54:04.880 --> 00:54:10.480
free games tf2 stuff like that no

00:54:08.880 --> 00:54:14.160
i don't want to play tf2 yeah absolutely not so you wouldn't you

00:54:12.480 --> 00:54:17.839
wouldn't use the steam service if it costs five bucks a month um no i think

00:54:16.400 --> 00:54:21.920
i'm already paying for the steam service by buying my games through them so

00:54:20.319 --> 00:54:27.680
they're already they're already taking a cut um no like we have to

00:54:25.440 --> 00:54:31.440
like like assume you don't have a steam account yet like we're like this is not

00:54:30.079 --> 00:54:36.000
this realm of reality so your your options are buying

00:54:34.640 --> 00:54:39.520
things on the steam service or buying them directly like they're buying them at a store

00:54:38.480 --> 00:54:45.839
or there's like a download link from the

00:54:42.559 --> 00:54:48.319
company so if they forced me if i wasn't

00:54:45.839 --> 00:54:52.720
allowed to play online unless i paid five dollars a month for

00:54:50.480 --> 00:54:56.079
steam no that's not even that that's an interesting discussion but that's not

00:54:53.920 --> 00:55:00.480
the one i'm trying to oh okay so would i be five dollars a month just for what

00:54:58.000 --> 00:55:05.359
steam is today essentially streaming the steam home streaming free

00:55:02.559 --> 00:55:10.880
games music some free games the the unification of chat uh steam overlay the

00:55:08.960 --> 00:55:14.880
the download service which is a lot better than most um all of that kind of

00:55:13.599 --> 00:55:19.040
stuff would you pay five bucks a month for that

00:55:16.720 --> 00:55:24.400
i feel like straw pulling this wow straw pull it straw pull it

00:55:22.160 --> 00:55:28.960
wow that's tough if my other choice was to not have it

00:55:26.960 --> 00:55:31.839
because a lot of okay you'd still be able to play multiplayer and stuff but

00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:36.640
you know yeah i know deal with all that but a lot of the argument that i make

00:55:34.640 --> 00:55:41.599
for boycotting something like playstation plus or xbox live gold where

00:55:39.359 --> 00:55:47.040
i just kind of went look guys if we all refused to pay for it it would go away

00:55:44.640 --> 00:55:52.880
like that a lot of the argument that i make for that is on the is is based on

00:55:50.960 --> 00:55:57.280
the fact that we have it for free on the pc so you have other options that you

00:55:55.520 --> 00:56:02.079
could take advantage of if you were taking away

00:55:59.040 --> 00:56:04.799
my option of not having any platform

00:56:02.079 --> 00:56:09.119
where i don't have to pay an additional fee for for for the like the overlay

00:56:07.920 --> 00:56:15.200
like even something like steam big picture you could look at as a value add

00:56:13.280 --> 00:56:19.359
for for people who want to use steam to even just manage their library of games

00:56:17.280 --> 00:56:23.359
so if i had no choice and the only other option was like

00:56:20.799 --> 00:56:28.880
like Windows explorer c colon slash program file slash you know code master

00:56:26.400 --> 00:56:34.240
slash grid slash like if that's it would i pay five dollars a month it's not a

00:56:30.960 --> 00:56:36.319
lot of money i probably would

00:56:34.240 --> 00:56:39.839
i probably probably just i would probably sign up for it once out of

00:56:37.760 --> 00:56:43.440
frustration and then i'd forget about it and i'd just kind of do it forever

00:56:41.680 --> 00:56:46.480
that's kind of how it was and i think if steam wasn't there a lot of those

00:56:45.040 --> 00:56:50.000
services that you have that kind of bring them all together wouldn't exist

00:56:48.079 --> 00:56:54.799
now to be completely honest if steam wasn't there i bet you the Windows games

00:56:53.119 --> 00:56:58.079
folder kind of idea probably would have actually stuck around and that was

00:56:56.240 --> 00:57:02.000
fantastic and that really should still be a thing um but

00:57:00.720 --> 00:57:08.319
yeah i don't know it's just an interesting idea that popped into my head can you uh hang out with me this uh

00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:12.319
this job yeah the struggle sure so i can go ahead and uh post the positions oh

00:57:10.559 --> 00:57:15.520
crap do you want the results i realized i was still screen sharing uh yeah i

00:57:13.680 --> 00:57:20.000
want the results link okay it doesn't really matter i can navigate to the

00:57:16.960 --> 00:57:20.000
results link on my own

00:57:21.920 --> 00:57:27.280
thank you so far it's looking like about 43

00:57:24.960 --> 00:57:30.799
percent of people are saying no 31 percent of people are saying austin's

00:57:28.880 --> 00:57:34.079
nipple and 26 percent of people are saying yes

00:57:32.559 --> 00:57:37.359
all right here we go i'll get those results uh visually for you guys there

00:57:36.160 --> 00:57:44.400
there we go so yeah a lot of know a lot of i refuse to

00:57:42.400 --> 00:57:48.160
say anything relevant about this and then actually the fact that 26 percent

00:57:46.480 --> 00:57:53.520
of you are saying yes is a strong indicator to me that if valve did decide

00:57:50.880 --> 00:57:56.880
to charge for the service um they might actually generate a lot of subscriptions

00:57:54.799 --> 00:58:00.559
i mean we're probably not a long way off i suspect they'll never make it

00:57:58.160 --> 00:58:03.920
mandatory but an optional subscription that gives you extra features

00:58:02.640 --> 00:58:08.559
a la you know gold or plus yeah yeah um i

00:58:06.640 --> 00:58:11.520
don't think plus i don't think multipla multiplayer will ever be one of those

00:58:10.319 --> 00:58:15.599
additional features for something like steam but if it gave you additional uh

00:58:14.319 --> 00:58:21.200
that's why i took the multiplayer element out of it yeah but if it gave you additional community

00:58:18.960 --> 00:58:24.960
interaction features or some other some other benefits i mean people pay for

00:58:23.040 --> 00:58:29.760
hats like what if what if all it did what if

00:58:27.280 --> 00:58:33.119
all it did was drop you a care package from time to time with a hat in it

00:58:31.280 --> 00:58:38.000
that's exclusive to people who are steam plus members i bet you they'd get way

00:58:35.440 --> 00:58:40.720
more oh my god and that's something that oh my god and that's something that

00:58:39.119 --> 00:58:44.960
steve would totally do oh man if you got like random indie

00:58:43.280 --> 00:58:50.720
items and valve games i hope gabe's not watching right now it's like hey we

00:58:47.119 --> 00:58:52.799
could have this rolled out like tomorrow

00:58:50.720 --> 00:58:57.839
oh my goodness and the thing is okay not not harping on the people that said no

00:58:54.559 --> 00:58:59.359
too much but um i myself kind of sit in

00:58:57.839 --> 00:59:04.960
the no camp right now because i could see myself um using other systems to manage my

00:59:02.960 --> 00:59:09.119
games right although however annoying that would be myself and a lot of people

00:59:07.119 --> 00:59:14.079
in the no camp that might change if you didn't have

00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:18.720
limited of like five minutes to think about this answer if you were then sitting on your

00:59:16.640 --> 00:59:23.040
computer months from now and you couldn't remember what freaking game you

00:59:20.799 --> 00:59:26.160
owned or where the key was that you could download it off the website

00:59:24.400 --> 00:59:29.520
because they have bad account management and you're dealing with all these other

00:59:27.760 --> 00:59:33.200
crap things and you could just be like well

00:59:31.200 --> 00:59:36.960
could just get steam inject all my games there and then be fine

00:59:34.960 --> 00:59:41.359
i don't know i see more of those nodes changing i see myself maybe being a

00:59:38.480 --> 00:59:45.040
little bit more flexible um i don't know it's interesting

00:59:43.680 --> 00:59:48.160
all right well i don't know if that is a thing at all it's just kind of a thought

00:59:46.720 --> 00:59:53.520
experiment yeah this is just us making things up yep okay so

00:59:50.880 --> 00:59:58.000
yes very fortunately we can jump to a few things actually oh uh there's the

00:59:55.599 --> 01:00:02.480
marriott abandoning their quest to block personal wi-fi hot hotspots this is from

01:00:00.200 --> 01:00:06.480
inc.com i'm going to go ahead and fire this up you want to post it in the chat

01:00:03.839 --> 01:00:11.520
yep um so this was ridiculous basically they got they got slammed with i think

01:00:08.319 --> 01:00:14.160
it was a 600 000 fine when it was

01:00:11.520 --> 01:00:19.920
discovered that they were intentionally blocking their users personal Wi-Fi

01:00:17.040 --> 01:00:25.200
hotspots like on their phones um from functioning in the rooms and then they

01:00:22.480 --> 01:00:30.640
apologized and then they turned around and tried to get permission from the fcc

01:00:28.400 --> 01:00:34.480
to implement that technology in places like conference rooms

01:00:32.400 --> 01:00:39.839
are you freaking for real and they claimed this was to prevent people from

01:00:38.079 --> 01:00:44.880
showing up in marriott hotels creating unauthorized hotspots with the intention

01:00:42.319 --> 01:00:47.520
of stealing data and information from the patrons of the hotel and i kind of

01:00:46.559 --> 01:00:53.200
go okay that is a scenario

01:00:50.400 --> 01:00:58.480
that probably happened like once and there are other ways to get around

01:00:55.280 --> 01:01:01.760
something like that and i i think it was

01:00:58.480 --> 01:01:04.799
fairly obvious like at the on the

01:01:01.760 --> 01:01:06.160
surface of this yeah that this was all

01:01:04.799 --> 01:01:10.960
about trying to get people to pay additional for wi-fi in the hotel

01:01:08.640 --> 01:01:16.079
especially business customers who are coming in for conferences and the fcc

01:01:13.520 --> 01:01:20.880
received 39 comment letters this is from the inc.com

01:01:18.319 --> 01:01:26.400
article received 39 comment letters on the issue of which 38 were negative and

01:01:23.760 --> 01:01:30.559
one was either neutral or off topic google and microsoft were among those

01:01:28.319 --> 01:01:34.880
registering their opposition so at least they're on the same side

01:01:31.920 --> 01:01:37.359
about something right now yeah really and i'm glad it's about not really

01:01:36.240 --> 01:01:44.280
getting along everywhere but they're such big companies and i guess parts of them can get along with other parts

01:01:41.920 --> 01:01:46.799
psy all right um

01:01:46.799 --> 01:01:54.160
we've got the tesla thing uh let's do the obama obama thing sure yeah so this

01:01:52.319 --> 01:02:01.760
was originally posted in the forum by lightning i got it and you got it okay

01:01:56.640 --> 01:02:04.640
obama calls for an end to 19 state laws

01:02:01.760 --> 01:02:10.720
that harm community broadband this is this is this is awesome because

01:02:07.359 --> 01:02:13.440
um obama calling for calling for the

01:02:10.720 --> 01:02:18.720
internet to be reclassified as a utility marked a bit of a turning point maybe

01:02:15.200 --> 01:02:20.799
not in the fcc chairman tom wheeler's

01:02:18.720 --> 01:02:25.040
thoughts about whether or not it would be title ii like

01:02:23.520 --> 01:02:30.160
maybe maybe he was already leaning that way but it definitely brought about a

01:02:27.200 --> 01:02:33.040
change in his actions and what he was saying publicly about it and it looks

01:02:32.240 --> 01:02:37.680
like obama's going to kind of go keep moving

01:02:35.440 --> 01:02:42.640
forward with this whole yeah if we want to if we want to be a developed nation

01:02:40.319 --> 01:02:46.880
let's face it we've already got you know sewage we've already got electricity

01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:52.640
mostly other than that it can be extremely expensive we've already got water again mostly actually really

01:02:50.240 --> 01:02:57.040
interesting conversation with uh taran about how how things work with the

01:02:54.559 --> 01:03:01.920
colorado river and allocating the water yeah yeah he was saying that the way

01:02:59.359 --> 01:03:06.559
like any downstream states get an allocation in gallons so if the flow is

01:03:04.400 --> 01:03:10.160
less colorado's actually the first one to not get any water from the colorado

01:03:08.720 --> 01:03:16.240
river anyway i thought that was interesting so anyway they've got most

01:03:12.480 --> 01:03:19.200
stuff mostly figured out and yet they're

01:03:16.240 --> 01:03:24.000
lagging behind on broadband because of either cost or legislative challenges

01:03:21.839 --> 01:03:29.440
that exist that prevent any startup from becoming an internet

01:03:27.200 --> 01:03:33.440
service provider and kind of going you know what hey those margins that

01:03:31.920 --> 01:03:38.240
profitability that's not good enough for at t yeah i'll take it i'll take it i

01:03:35.920 --> 01:03:43.359
mean it stifles competition that's the that's the principle that this entire

01:03:41.760 --> 01:03:48.240
country and i mean by this i mean the usa i don't live there you know but but

01:03:45.839 --> 01:03:53.039
that that entire country was built on was was competition and capitalism and

01:03:50.559 --> 01:03:57.200
if you just legislate the crap out of anyone being able to compete then you

01:03:54.720 --> 01:04:01.920
end up in a situation where it's this monopolistic nonsense and it's not quite

01:03:59.680 --> 01:04:05.119
a monopoly so um this was a really interesting

01:04:03.039 --> 01:04:10.160
uh chunk of the article uh yes here we go at speeds so with the old broadband

01:04:07.680 --> 01:04:15.359
classification of i believe it was three down one up four down four down one up

01:04:13.359 --> 01:04:20.160
75 percent of consumers have a choice between two or more fixed providers and

01:04:18.400 --> 01:04:24.640
15 percent can select among three or more which i would even still say is way

01:04:22.319 --> 01:04:28.160
too low abominable yeah it's terrible however in the market for internet

01:04:26.319 --> 01:04:31.680
service that can deliver 25 megabit downstream i mean we're talking

01:04:30.000 --> 01:04:35.520
the speed at which you that you you could pretty much do

01:04:34.079 --> 01:04:39.440
anything on the internet you know netflix acceptable

01:04:37.280 --> 01:04:44.319
hd youtube stuff like that um

01:04:41.680 --> 01:04:49.359
three out of four americans had no choice between providers

01:04:47.520 --> 01:04:54.640
i mean when was this ever acceptable i mean i i i i hate to be critical when

01:04:52.559 --> 01:04:57.680
they're finally speaking up and doing the right things but why did this take

01:04:56.480 --> 01:05:01.599
so long and when's canada gonna

01:04:59.520 --> 01:05:03.760
figure it out follow suit like we always do

01:05:03.920 --> 01:05:08.720
it'll take us a couple years and then we'll get there and you know i've seen a

01:05:07.119 --> 01:05:12.720
lot of people wearing their cynicism hats um and especially on our forum

01:05:11.520 --> 01:05:17.119
where a lot of our community is international and sort of going well

01:05:15.520 --> 01:05:25.039
this is only because the election's coming i mean okay maybe there's some pressure

01:05:21.200 --> 01:05:26.960
from the democratic party to you know

01:05:25.039 --> 01:05:30.640
improve obama's popularity so whoever their new candidate coming in will have

01:05:29.200 --> 01:05:36.240
a better chance of of winning the upcoming election but

01:05:32.400 --> 01:05:38.400
um guys obama cannot be re-elected this

01:05:36.240 --> 01:05:41.920
is a second term you can only serve two four-year terms in the united states so

01:05:40.079 --> 01:05:46.000
it's not like it's not like obama personally wants to be the president for

01:05:43.760 --> 01:05:51.520
another four years and is therefore trying to trying to win a popularity

01:05:48.480 --> 01:05:52.960
contest by you know making especially a

01:05:51.520 --> 01:05:58.559
lot of this focuses on community broadband initiatives so smaller smaller

01:05:55.760 --> 01:06:02.960
community isps or even municipalities themselves enabling them to utilize

01:06:01.119 --> 01:06:06.960
their existing infrastructure so whether it's power or sewage or whatever else to

01:06:04.400 --> 01:06:11.839
run lines and create their own broadband providers um don't remember where i was

01:06:09.520 --> 01:06:16.000
going with that the the sentence kind of it's not hugely benefit beneficial for

01:06:14.079 --> 01:06:18.960
himself necessarily yeah because you were talking about uh elections coming

01:06:17.520 --> 01:06:23.839
up and it's not just pop it's not a popularity contest i mean it's it's it's

01:06:21.440 --> 01:06:28.799
a fact that access to high-speed internet breeds creativity and and gives

01:06:27.039 --> 01:06:32.400
people more options to better themselves i mean let's go back to one of our

01:06:30.160 --> 01:06:37.119
sponsors for a minute here lynda.com what are you gonna are you

01:06:34.559 --> 01:06:40.480
gonna use lynda.com video tutorials on dial-up no

01:06:38.880 --> 01:06:44.000
that's ridiculous i mean what if you have what if you have

01:06:42.079 --> 01:06:49.599
okay what if your lynda.com membership is really reasonably priced but your

01:06:46.480 --> 01:06:50.960
internet connection has such a small cap

01:06:49.599 --> 01:06:56.880
that by the time you watch the instructional videos you're actually paying a ton more just to educate

01:06:55.200 --> 01:07:01.920
yourself and potentially improve your prospects in terms of your career path i

01:06:59.520 --> 01:07:06.880
mean it's it's absurd inexpensive broadband has become something we need

01:07:04.720 --> 01:07:11.359
not something that should be a privilege for the wealthy so

01:07:08.720 --> 01:07:14.640
just right there that's it kudos yeah very happy about that whole situation

01:07:12.720 --> 01:07:18.400
the fcc is already examining these state laws and considering whether it can

01:07:16.000 --> 01:07:22.799
invalidate them by using its authority to promote competition and

01:07:19.839 --> 01:07:26.400
telecommunications already so good

01:07:23.599 --> 01:07:30.480
all the progress let's make it happen jumping to a not necessarily happier

01:07:28.880 --> 01:07:33.839
note but a funnier note we can do the beautiful thing yeah oh my goodness this

01:07:32.640 --> 01:07:41.039
is ridiculous you just want to have some entertainment i mean speaking of things that should be

01:07:37.599 --> 01:07:44.480
illegal um

01:07:41.039 --> 01:07:44.480
let's uh dang it

01:07:44.559 --> 01:07:49.280
all right here we go okay i'll i'll post it uh our original source for this was

01:07:48.160 --> 01:07:53.760
cnet um but their article is down so the

01:07:51.760 --> 01:07:57.599
telegraph article is still live this is a restaurant there's actually a

01:07:55.520 --> 01:08:00.400
different cnet article now but don't worry about it i i was trying to i

01:07:59.200 --> 01:08:04.880
should have fixed the link i was trying to figure out earlier okay so this is

01:08:02.240 --> 01:08:09.680
there's a restaurant that promises free meal for good looking

01:08:08.160 --> 01:08:12.799
now they've been forced to take down that sign yeah the local government

01:08:11.760 --> 01:08:17.839
forced them to take down the stuff yeah like showed up with a wrecking crew it

01:08:14.880 --> 01:08:21.839
was like we are taking down that sign because that's embarrassing but they

01:08:19.920 --> 01:08:27.520
have vowed to continue the promotion regardless the the the the how this

01:08:25.120 --> 01:08:32.080
works is there's a scanner and there's a panel of surgeons which are

01:08:29.600 --> 01:08:36.239
uh plastic surgeons which are in cahoots with the restaurant first sponsorship

01:08:33.759 --> 01:08:39.120
paying a sponsorship oh sorry dashboard now i always

01:08:37.199 --> 01:08:42.640
for essentially advertisement so you can go there get told you're not good

01:08:40.560 --> 01:08:48.400
looking and then be referred to those people to become better looking

01:08:45.520 --> 01:08:53.440
oh ridiculous and so apparently it's not flat out like you're good looking uh you

01:08:51.600 --> 01:08:58.319
get a free meal you're not good looking you get a full price meal it's like

01:08:56.000 --> 01:09:02.239
there's a sliding scale so you could be pretty good looking and you could get

01:09:00.080 --> 01:09:08.080
like 30 off or something like i'm making up the exact numbers but

01:09:05.120 --> 01:09:10.880
really like that's just that's just gross

01:09:09.520 --> 01:09:18.239
and i'm not just saying this because i don't think i'd be getting a discount i just think that is absolutely one thing

01:09:14.000 --> 01:09:20.719
i noticed is that op mr amp 12345 states

01:09:18.239 --> 01:09:25.520
in his second paragraph as someone who has uh had things given to me or gotten

01:09:23.520 --> 01:09:28.799
discounts because of the clerk thought i was good looking i was unsure how i felt

01:09:27.600 --> 01:09:34.719
about this so my new idea is that we as a lion

01:09:32.000 --> 01:09:38.560
detectives community need to find amp one two three four five take him bring

01:09:36.880 --> 01:09:41.920
him to the restaurant and then just all eat there until they're bankrupt

01:09:42.239 --> 01:09:47.359
so we're gonna force feed amp no no he

01:09:45.440 --> 01:09:49.839
can get all the food when he just eat it oh

01:09:48.719 --> 01:09:55.280
i see i think they probably would catch on tonight it's a very smart idea though

01:09:53.600 --> 01:09:59.520
you did very well thank you you did very well i'm very proud of you

01:09:57.280 --> 01:10:04.000
i just want to utilize amp's obviously tried and true amazingly good looks this

01:10:01.920 --> 01:10:08.400
was posted by um this was posted by tedster and uh since we're on the topic

01:10:06.560 --> 01:10:14.880
of just completely stupid things right now um this kickstarter

01:10:11.840 --> 01:10:18.000
okay paul boyle i i it

01:10:14.880 --> 01:10:20.719
is 30 euros he probably did it himself

01:10:18.000 --> 01:10:24.960
so well he has seven backers seven backers totaling 30 euros that

01:10:22.640 --> 01:10:29.360
doesn't even divide evenly made seven kickstarter accounts and then it got

01:10:27.040 --> 01:10:34.000
bored and when ate a burger so i mean you can see that this is

01:10:31.199 --> 01:10:37.360
clearly not intended to be serious but the plan is to reconstruct the player

01:10:35.920 --> 01:10:43.840
michael's house from the game grand theft auto 5 to scale and the rewards

01:10:40.080 --> 01:10:45.199
are ridiculous i mean um for okay so for

01:10:43.840 --> 01:10:48.880
five thousand dollars you can stay there for three nights for four euros you get

01:10:46.880 --> 01:10:52.000
pictures and a video of it

01:10:50.080 --> 01:10:55.520
for 400 euros you get a personalized title with image and info of your choice

01:10:54.239 --> 01:11:00.480
added to the bottom of michael's swimming pool for 900 euros you get to visit the house

01:10:58.880 --> 01:11:05.760
and have a tour around it at your leisure and for 5 000 euros you get to

01:11:02.960 --> 01:11:10.400
visit and stay in it for three nights i just thought it was kind of funny he

01:11:07.840 --> 01:11:14.880
figures he needs uh oh the faq this is pretty good who will

01:11:12.640 --> 01:11:18.400
the house belong to will the donators get a share in the final build are you

01:11:16.480 --> 01:11:22.000
giving it to charity no shares i'm afraid given the small chance that it's

01:11:20.320 --> 01:11:25.600
funded the final build will be sold and donated to the choice of charity voted

01:11:24.159 --> 01:11:29.600
by the backers which i mean the last time anyone

01:11:27.600 --> 01:11:34.560
believed that a kickstarter for charity was actually going to a charity was uh

01:11:32.400 --> 01:11:38.640
i don't know 2013. yeah not that long ago yeah oh story

01:11:36.719 --> 01:11:42.640
hasn't been around that long no but yeah in internet years it's been

01:11:40.560 --> 01:11:45.440
quite a while yep um

01:11:44.159 --> 01:11:51.360
i don't know is there anything else interesting there's the not super amazingly interesting uh tesla news but

01:11:49.840 --> 01:11:55.440
i can talk about it regardless sure yeah let's talk about the three um so there's

01:11:53.440 --> 01:11:59.280
there's honestly not a ton to say this article exploded posted by victoria's

01:11:57.520 --> 01:12:05.040
secret by the way yep this article exploded i can get this into the chat um

01:12:03.360 --> 01:12:08.880
and it's kind of an interesting conversation but people were like oh my

01:12:06.960 --> 01:12:12.640
god the tesla 3 is so amazing there's not actually that much information here

01:12:10.320 --> 01:12:16.719
about the tesla 3. this is the the model x delays model x yeah um so

01:12:15.679 --> 01:12:20.880
and once again we shouldn't be complaining about the delay even though it kind of sucks because they're saying

01:12:19.920 --> 01:12:26.960
that they're just trying to do it right anyway they sold out like the first manufacturing year of this thing anyways

01:12:24.560 --> 01:12:31.600
so whatever um anyways the feds give about 7 500 for

01:12:29.920 --> 01:12:36.000
electric cars apparently this is in the states i don't really know so when chevy

01:12:34.560 --> 01:12:41.440
came out and was talking about their bolt which is supposed to be a tesla competitor they were toting it as a 30

01:12:40.320 --> 01:12:46.800
000 price tag vehicle

01:12:44.400 --> 01:12:53.199
this is a response elon musk in an interview was like well

01:12:48.960 --> 01:12:56.400
ours is what is 35 35 000 so using their

01:12:53.199 --> 01:12:58.320
logic it's actually 27 500 right that

01:12:56.400 --> 01:13:03.840
was the whole actual point of this article now this thing exploded this got

01:13:01.120 --> 01:13:07.679
everywhere like automotive subreddit it was like massive at front page all this

01:13:05.520 --> 01:13:11.360
kind of stuff it's all he's talking about is that it he didn't include

01:13:09.840 --> 01:13:14.800
incentives in the price of thirty five thousand dollars that's all it really

01:13:13.040 --> 01:13:19.040
was um uh as we already knew

01:13:17.440 --> 01:13:22.800
going to be able to customize it add options a lot of things that are actually on the model s if you like

01:13:21.520 --> 01:13:28.159
something very specifically it's on the model s you might be able to include it on your on your three but that will

01:13:26.320 --> 01:13:32.719
obviously increase the cost so it could be more expensive in the end so your

01:13:30.239 --> 01:13:38.560
version of the model 3 might end up being the same cost as a bolt

01:13:35.920 --> 01:13:42.880
who knows because you can configure them yeah one cool quote that came from it

01:13:40.560 --> 01:13:47.840
though which is interesting is that musk said the model 3 in brackets will be way

01:13:46.159 --> 01:13:52.400
different from any other car on the road but in a way that's really useful and

01:13:49.679 --> 01:13:58.960
doesn't just make it a weird mobile weird deal so i don't know what that

01:13:54.719 --> 01:14:03.199
means um but yeah this i love tesla news

01:13:58.960 --> 01:14:04.800
uh this exploded but it wasn't actually

01:14:03.199 --> 01:14:11.760
yeah i don't know all right so this is this is interesting to me because i'm canadian sony is shutting all of their

01:14:08.560 --> 01:14:12.960
canadian stores um i've got the article

01:14:11.760 --> 01:14:18.880
here where's the last time you went to a sony store uh um

01:14:15.600 --> 01:14:18.880
wow i posted it already

01:14:19.040 --> 01:14:25.040
i totally get it because i don't think sony stores really have any reason to

01:14:24.080 --> 01:14:32.000
exist especially when a lot of the time they were just a place where

01:14:28.719 --> 01:14:34.960
you couldn't shop for any other brand of

01:14:32.000 --> 01:14:38.400
product and the pricing wasn't better often worse because it wouldn't have the

01:14:36.480 --> 01:14:42.239
same promotions because it's really awkward for most manufacturers apple

01:14:40.239 --> 01:14:46.000
doesn't seem to give a rat sass but most manufacturers to have their own branded

01:14:44.159 --> 01:14:49.760
store that competes head to head against their customers so they have to prove to

01:14:48.159 --> 01:14:53.199
their customers whether it's a best buy or whoever else that they're not trying

01:14:51.600 --> 01:14:58.080
to undercut them and steal customers from them and at the same time they have

01:14:54.880 --> 01:15:00.159
to sustain their employees and the

01:14:58.080 --> 01:15:04.239
retail spaces the one sony store i've ever been to the one time i went to it

01:15:02.400 --> 01:15:09.600
was just terrible anyways they had a really bad selection of sony products

01:15:06.960 --> 01:15:13.360
yeah so anyway so sony store closing stores oh apparently mex and jacob are

01:15:11.440 --> 01:15:18.800
closing a whack of stores but for me the big one right now is actually target so

01:15:16.000 --> 01:15:21.920
target opened up the canadian territory in

01:15:19.560 --> 01:15:25.360
2012 i want to say i

01:15:22.880 --> 01:15:28.560
thought it was thirteen i could be wrong was it thirteen have it hasn't i believe

01:15:27.040 --> 01:15:32.400
it's been that short i think it's been two years i could be wrong though let me

01:15:30.320 --> 01:15:37.360
well it's only barely 2015 right now anyway the point is uh target actually

01:15:34.960 --> 01:15:42.560
purchased at least here in the at least here in bc all of these zeller's

01:15:39.840 --> 01:15:48.719
locations when zellers went bankrupt and and disappeared um so they had a total

01:15:44.800 --> 01:15:50.800
of 133 big box stores and they will be

01:15:48.719 --> 01:15:56.159
exiting okay apparently they launched in canada in march 2013 so they didn't even

01:15:53.760 --> 01:16:02.239
last two years and they will be shutting all of the stores putting 17 000

01:15:58.800 --> 01:16:05.040
employees out of work and taking a 5.4

01:16:02.239 --> 01:16:08.239
billion dollar loss in that period of time um

01:16:08.239 --> 01:16:14.480
there's a lot of problems um one of the huge one was distribution

01:16:12.960 --> 01:16:19.600
they came in and got 133 stores going but didn't have a

01:16:17.280 --> 01:16:22.320
proper distribution chain for them so you'd have a lot of issues where you'd

01:16:20.960 --> 01:16:25.120
go to target and there's just nothing on the shelves yeah so how are you supposed

01:16:24.000 --> 01:16:31.199
to buy it how are they supposed to make any money so they just were hemorrhaging money didn't have distribution going

01:16:28.400 --> 01:16:34.880
went in way too fast and way too hard totally screwed up and then their

01:16:32.800 --> 01:16:38.880
solution was to just close everything and bail

01:16:36.320 --> 01:16:43.679
so in under two years they got 133 stores going filled them with 17 600

01:16:41.360 --> 01:16:49.120
employees fired all those employees closed all of those stores and took off

01:16:46.719 --> 01:16:52.560
so uh target said exiting canada would allow to focus resources on the u.s

01:16:51.280 --> 01:16:59.199
market um i i really i i mean it just it

01:16:57.199 --> 01:17:04.880
so misguided i don't know and i've read one article that suggested

01:17:01.920 --> 01:17:09.600
that you know the lack of um of of staples that that canadian

01:17:07.520 --> 01:17:12.880
consumers are used to going down to target us and buying and bringing back

01:17:11.440 --> 01:17:17.679
up here things that just don't exist in canada i can't remember what the example

01:17:15.120 --> 01:17:22.080
of it was but um no i'm not actually it was it wasn't this article it was one

01:17:19.199 --> 01:17:25.520
that suggested that you know the lack of the lack of some some chocolate

01:17:24.320 --> 01:17:29.360
something or other might have been the reason for target's failure because maybe people walked in thinking they

01:17:28.159 --> 01:17:33.040
were going to buy cool stuff that they're used to buying at target and they weren't able to

01:17:31.679 --> 01:17:38.800
but honestly i don't think that has anything to do with it i think it was just too much too fast i mean we were

01:17:36.800 --> 01:17:42.159
talking to uh to berkel about this before the show started and he's like

01:17:40.239 --> 01:17:45.760
yeah they opened one in what did he say vernon vernon the open one in vernon

01:17:44.080 --> 01:17:48.880
it's like there's not even that many people in vernon i mean did they even

01:17:47.520 --> 01:17:53.920
check and they already have a walmart they like barely need a walmart and they already have one

01:17:52.000 --> 01:17:58.480
and i think i think vernon has a costco too so it's like you're gonna go up

01:17:56.320 --> 01:18:01.600
against costco and walmart which have been there for years already and you're

01:18:00.480 --> 01:18:05.199
gonna just hope that what people magically sprout

01:18:03.840 --> 01:18:10.239
from the earth and come shop in your store like try to build a sustainable business

01:18:08.400 --> 01:18:14.239
model first and obviously i'm not an expert i've never run a big box store

01:18:12.000 --> 01:18:17.520
but it just seems like there's a lot of mistakes in the past that we could have

01:18:15.760 --> 01:18:21.840
learned from and this is actually just the target shutting down reminded me of

01:18:19.440 --> 01:18:27.840
this i um my housing development that i live in was built about 30 years ago and

01:18:25.199 --> 01:18:31.360
we still have from the previous owners the brochure

01:18:29.280 --> 01:18:34.640
that like was like the sales brochure for people shopping for houses in that

01:18:33.440 --> 01:18:40.320
neighborhood and it's really cool it's like an accessible place to live easily

01:18:38.480 --> 01:18:44.719
accessible from virtually any direction the property is bounded by a bunch of

01:18:42.000 --> 01:18:49.120
places the first project of its kind in this area blah blah provides quick

01:18:46.719 --> 01:18:53.360
access to the interior of british columbia and to the rest of the lower

01:18:50.800 --> 01:18:58.560
mainland on the other hand it's only two or three minutes away from um

01:18:56.080 --> 01:19:02.159
okay so there's a shopping center home to woodward's

01:19:00.640 --> 01:19:09.199
eaton's woolco marx and spencer and over 200 other fine

01:19:06.640 --> 01:19:13.440
stores have you heard of any of them no

01:19:11.199 --> 01:19:19.679
no a few minutes further you'll find simpson sears so okay sears okay simpson

01:19:17.679 --> 01:19:22.800
sears and the bay okay the bag and

01:19:22.880 --> 01:19:26.880
neither of them exists anymore

01:19:26.880 --> 01:19:31.280
oh my goodness that is so hilarious

01:19:29.920 --> 01:19:36.320
canada has proven to be an interesting market because of how we're laid out and

01:19:33.360 --> 01:19:39.679
one of the huge important super crazy obvious things about opening a very

01:19:38.239 --> 01:19:43.360
large amount of stores especially in somewhere super huge like canada is

01:19:41.760 --> 01:19:48.640
freaking distribution what are you thinking like i like yes we're maybe not

01:19:46.320 --> 01:19:52.880
the most educated people on opening a massive amount of stores but like do any

01:19:51.199 --> 01:19:56.640
amount of research at all look at how best buy came into canada which was

01:19:54.560 --> 01:20:01.040
actually a very effective takeover they bought future shop which was kind of our

01:19:58.640 --> 01:20:05.840
version of best buy um and then just took over all their warehouses they

01:20:02.560 --> 01:20:07.760
bought feature shop for their warehouses

01:20:05.840 --> 01:20:12.719
that was the reason because they're like oh distribution will be a problem let's

01:20:09.840 --> 01:20:12.719
solve that problem

01:20:12.880 --> 01:20:19.360
god that's so dumb like there could have been so many problems but their whole

01:20:16.960 --> 01:20:23.679
thing like well it was hard to make money when we couldn't keep things on

01:20:20.800 --> 01:20:26.159
the shelves because not not necessarily that too many people were buying them

01:20:24.800 --> 01:20:32.320
but we couldn't put things on the shelves because we didn't have them that's so bad we're getting a bunch of

01:20:30.320 --> 01:20:36.880
people talking about how apparently a couple of those are big over in over in

01:20:34.800 --> 01:20:41.199
europe and like that but that's exactly it like it's been tried and failed so

01:20:38.960 --> 01:20:44.880
many times that you would think um they would have done at least a

01:20:42.880 --> 01:20:48.800
couple sort of case studies and tried to make sure that they were going to have a

01:20:46.000 --> 01:20:52.480
chance of success in canada yeah or even open like five stores

01:20:50.640 --> 01:20:56.480
yeah and just slowly figure it out so you could lose uh let's let's see let's

01:20:54.320 --> 01:21:00.480
do let's do the rough napkin math so that's about

01:20:57.719 --> 01:21:06.159
150th as many stores as they opened so it would be 150th as much loss so like

01:21:03.920 --> 01:21:09.600
okay so a loss in the order of what tens or hundreds of millions as opposed to

01:21:07.600 --> 01:21:13.920
billions which is still a lot which is still a lot but less but and for a

01:21:11.760 --> 01:21:18.159
company of that size more growing pain size instead of oh my god complete

01:21:15.520 --> 01:21:18.159
failure size

01:21:19.120 --> 01:21:25.120
um there was a whole thing this week where

01:21:22.640 --> 01:21:29.360
apparently microsoft appeared to be not allowing

01:21:26.239 --> 01:21:30.800
youtubers to put the title of a game in

01:21:29.360 --> 01:21:34.480
the name of their youtube video but they've clarified uh it's apparently not

01:21:33.040 --> 01:21:38.640
that big of a deal you are apparently supposed to add a disclaimer in your description saying something along the

01:21:37.120 --> 01:21:42.239
lines of that the game was made by microsoft and the video is not endorsed

01:21:40.159 --> 01:21:45.440
by them there's official text for it this was posted by cobbs 360 on the

01:21:43.920 --> 01:21:50.640
forum and you're not allowed to mislead people into thinking it's a microsoft video but um i think that was just

01:21:48.800 --> 01:21:54.159
people freaking out over a wording issue i'm glad microsoft got it rectified

01:21:52.639 --> 01:21:58.800
pretty quick to be honest the main concern was that you couldn't call

01:21:56.480 --> 01:22:01.520
something like red versus blue the halo show

01:22:00.239 --> 01:22:06.480
or something along those lines like using the trademark incorrectly you had to come up with your own name if you

01:22:05.120 --> 01:22:10.080
were going to do something that was more along the lines of a show and less along

01:22:08.639 --> 01:22:15.760
the lines of strict gameplay or multiplayer footage but you could do like halo gameplay and it would be fine

01:22:13.440 --> 01:22:20.400
yeah as long as you have your disclaimer yep um

01:22:18.080 --> 01:22:25.440
lg had a nitrogen leak in their factory this was uh the original article is from

01:22:22.960 --> 01:22:30.480
independent dot co dot uk let's go ahead and pull that up very very unfortunate

01:22:27.679 --> 01:22:35.280
uh two were killed uh four have taken ill since the since the incident um

01:22:33.120 --> 01:22:40.239
basically not not a whole lot is known uh one of them died on the scene one of

01:22:37.360 --> 01:22:43.600
them died on the way to uh on the way to the hospital uh i mean does that

01:22:42.159 --> 01:22:47.440
something that we often don't consider about these electronic doodads that we

01:22:45.920 --> 01:22:52.880
enjoy so much is there's a lot of harmful and dangerous stuff that goes on

01:22:50.080 --> 01:22:57.040
uh in order to manufacture them um the nzxc doco this was posted by brown ninja

01:22:55.440 --> 01:23:02.560
on the forum original article here is from tech powerup promises 50 to 80

01:22:59.679 --> 01:23:06.400
milliseconds of latency and promises basically your your computer experience

01:23:05.440 --> 01:23:11.679
on well basically anywhere you want on your tv um luke has a review unit and i know

01:23:10.320 --> 01:23:16.719
he's planning to work on it maybe once you've got the motherboard roundup done there i've gotta do the motherboard

01:23:14.880 --> 01:23:21.199
roundup and maybe one other thing and then i'll probably be on doco yeah looks

01:23:18.800 --> 01:23:25.280
cool the only disadvantage right now so it's got usb ports and it uses usb over

01:23:23.679 --> 01:23:29.040
ip in order to make it so if you plug in a keyboard it's basically like having

01:23:26.960 --> 01:23:32.239
that keyboard plugged into the computer you're using i've been able to use it to

01:23:30.719 --> 01:23:36.800
a certain degree have you used it already i i'm not not uh my own unit but

01:23:35.120 --> 01:23:41.920
i was able to use it while it was still under engineering yes and the usb over

01:23:39.440 --> 01:23:45.440
ip is actually pretty freaking good cool i was able to use a keyboard and mouse

01:23:43.520 --> 01:23:50.000
and i was able to use a flash drive and i was able to use a um

01:23:48.000 --> 01:23:53.280
they plugged in the microsoft wireless dongle and then had me using a wireless

01:23:51.600 --> 01:23:57.920
controller which i was actually more worried about than just plugging in a controller directly but it worked

01:23:56.159 --> 01:24:02.400
totally fine that's awesome pretty cool um it's only 1080p 30fps but i'm hoping

01:24:00.960 --> 01:24:06.239
that we'll see a doku extreme or goku plus or something along

01:24:04.159 --> 01:24:11.199
those lines one thing that kicks the nps speak a little bit uh because it's not

01:24:08.000 --> 01:24:13.120
under nda anymore is that um

01:24:11.199 --> 01:24:18.719
the processing power and stuff in that unit is not exactly amazing right um

01:24:16.639 --> 01:24:22.719
and if there is a lot of interest shown they could release a higher end version

01:24:21.280 --> 01:24:26.480
right could do more FPS or whatever so

01:24:25.440 --> 01:24:30.080
yeah tell them that you want one okay well i

01:24:28.800 --> 01:24:34.880
think that's pretty much it for the show today guys thank you so much for tuning

01:24:31.920 --> 01:24:34.880
in we are planning to
