show we have a special guest here right now with us is John ringer from techno
Buffalo normally we do lower thirds for these guys but um sorry John we did not
get our crap together in time today so do you want to do a brief introduction
to yourself and what you're all about I'm uh sure I'm John ringer I run a site
called TechnoBuffalo you can check us out there or youtube.com slno Buffalo we
play with toys so basically you do what we do except like more professional
I don't know I think you do an awesome job I've been following your uh computer
build you've been doing it looks incredible awesome so of course the
thing that we brought you on for today is not strictly to talk about a computer
build or really computers at all because
Apple had a pretty big event this week and they had some pretty crazy stuff to
show off and now normally when I say Yeah man they had like this event and
like they had like crazy stuff to show off I mean like yeah it was like bananas
and like Flames painted on the freaking side um this time we're talking they
legitimately appear to have completely lost their minds um what is up okay okay
let's let's let's let's start with the watch let's start with the watch we'll
leave the punch line for later um what's up with the pricing and functionality
and battery life of the Apple watch what's your take on this okay so I was
at the event I had a chance to play with uh the watch and what I think you're
probably going to talk about next uh the watch looks great the screen is it's
beautiful the UI is super smooth but it
pretty much does what every other Smartwatch I got the Moto 360 on my
wrist it pretty much does what every other Smartwatch does save for the cool
feature being able to draw little penises to your friends and send them
off um other than that the the features
just aren't there yet there's no compelling reason to go out and buy one
especially at that price point John I got to stop you for a minute I can draw penises on my wrist and send
those to my friends send them right off right off I am so sold right now and and
the the funny part is I saw three people doing that at the
event that's awesome really wow I I was
not one of them sure you yeah whatever
man at least you know I didn't get caught one so there's a total of at
least four then because there's the three you saw and then there's you yeah
Yeah well yeah probably oh that is great
okay so let's talk let's talk pricing there's actually a great there's a great
uh thread on the I'm I'm still getting like my dock together and all that I'm
just completely behind the eightball guys we've only got John for like another 15 minutes cuz he has a family
or some crap like that so uh we wanted
to get on the air and get talking to him about this because it's freaking awesome
but uh let's talk pricing of the Apple watch so the sport version the like the
like kind of Casio competitor you know
the timx you know sort of class product
here $350 to start does that seem crazy to
you for the small one too the 38 millimeter on like a normal dud wrist
looks tiny like tiny
uh yeah it's about $100 higher than I expected in all honesty I mean Apple
always has that sort of price premium um
functionality wise there's no functionality between the sport and like
the $10,000 Edition function no
difference at all um the pricing the
pricing is not where I think they lost their damn mind at least from the announcements that they made um but they
definitely are pushing the envelope for what people are going to be tolerant towards it does really feel that way I
mean I think I think because I mean it's clear what they're trying to do they're
trying to invent a category again or at the very least reinvent a category again
the way that did with the iPad but the problem with that is that the iPad
was um never really done very well and I
think you could make the argument that some of the other SmartWatches that
exist now are done pretty well the Moto 360 is a good watch the gatr is an
excellent Smartwatch and apple in My
Mind Made made basically there was there
was one there there are two fundamental Al flaws or or deadly sins that have
been committed here number one is they're asking a huge premium for something that doesn't blow the doors
off off what's available already and number two is it's not a watch to me a
watch is a thing that goes on your wrists and tells you the time all the
time and something that doesn't have an always on screen to me is just but then
again you probably disagree with me cuz I'm sure you could have a gatr if you
felt like it you wear a Moto 360 argue
argue with me for the validity of a
screen that's not always on that's a tough one oh all right it's
a it's a tough one but you know what I'm play Devil's advy because half time I'm
only looking at my wrist when I look at my wrist soon as I bring it up it's on I
see what I need I don't need to see my wrist when it's down by my side I'd
rather save the battery life is about the only argument I could make if I
disagreed with you ah okay so so are we
on the same page here kind of going like I've been I've been hoping that all the
rumors coming out of apple were [ __ ] that it was just um it was going to have
an OLED screen somehow and it was going to only illuminate the pixels that it
needed and it was going to somehow show me the time all day and this whole like
4H hour 5 hour of screen time battery life nonsense was going to be complete
Hokum um but it it that didn't happen so
are we going to see a quick are we going to see a quick iteration like we did
from iPad to iPad 2 2 where the where the the the the the Apple watch one just
kind of quietly gets forgotten and gets updated for much shorter a period of
time and actually Apple Watch 2 ends up being the the one that's delivers the
experience so this is what makes me really nervous about the watch at that
price point that's right no nobody knows what the upgrade Cycle's gonna be here
yeah I mean I'd like to meet and I'm going to choose my descriptive words
carefully the individual who goes out to spend $10,000
Plus on a watch and like I get going out and buying a Rolex buying something like
that like I can at least wrap my head around that but this is a piece of
technology that is going to be upgraded probably sooner than 18
months okay so here's my issue so
another issue with the watch oh man we are definitely going to run at least a
couple minutes past 5 please tell your wife not to kill me uh because okay okay
so issue with the watch now we've already talked about how the sport edition the 349 one is already
overpriced let's talk about the $10,000
super expensive ones and we'll get into this later on the show you guys how the
Apple Gold is not actually as much gold as other gold we'll talk about that
later but the the the the 10,000 plus
dollar watches now we all know why people buy something like that they buy
it because it makes them feel like a big man with a big penis but the the
justifications the reasons they say alloud are going to be things like um
you know it's it's a timeless fashion
statement I will wear it for 50 years this is something we hear said we hear
in the apocalypse my Rolex will still
keep time when all the satellites or if I'm diving so far underwater or if I'm
wherever the heck in the most extreme conditions this is a piece of
craftsmanship that will perform to its
utmost ability forever basically we hear
these Arguments for the Apple watch they
have to appeal to that customer how by
showing you text messages on your wrist wrong customer that's that's my man who
is going to buy the $10,000 watch do you think it's Am I Wrong are people just
going to do it anyway I gotta tell you that was probably the most eloquent
synopsis of the addition watch that I have absolutely heard it absolutely well
said that's who they're competing with and listen I I can understand going out
and spending a lot of money on a watch if that's your thing people spend their money on whatever they choose to car
clothes whatever about Rolex there's a huge market for used watches there's a
huge Mark those if they don't appre if they don't appreciate in value what some
of them do appreciation is not huge you
try selling that your Apple Edition watch the day after Apple Edition 2
comes out good luck good luck and you
want to sell it for the gold that's in it y i I think it might sell okay but I
don't think it's going to sell okay uh for very long I think it's going to be
very much a like oh look how baller I am but then no one's going to care so it
might be a problem so I actually think maybe if if when it becomes uh iteration
so two three whatnot they might have more of a hard time selling those gold
ones than this first launch cuz John brought up another good point the
investment aspect it's it's like buying a a classic design Rolex is kind of like
buying a classic car you expect it to at the very least hold its value and and
something like a dress watch a jewelry watch you expect to do even better
because it's worth its weight in gold at the very freaking least
do then and then your building your it
beinging people who are impressed by that I don't think the kinds of guys who
you're going to want to rub elbows with at that cocktail party and would be
impressed by your freaking awesome Rolex are going to give two craps about your
like digital Gizmo but I I think people will think that they will and then once
they kind of realize oh that doesn't really matter that's why I said later in
iterations I don't think it'll sell as well I I can't figure out who's going to
buy this perhaps other than a certain unnamed uh boy Genius um I I can't see
who would possibly pick up anything like
this I don't know you know what's funny is back when the the pricing rumors were
circulating I was telling myself you know what just for the sake of drawing
more eyeballs to my Apple Watch review
I'll I'll go ahead and I'll buy whatever the highest end one is and you know what
it's too crazy I can't even because normally what I would do with something
like like that is I'd flip it when I'm done and i' right I don't even think
I'll be able to flip it I don't think anyone will be what YouTubers do you
think we gonna pick this up I think Marcus might do it just because he can I
think I think Lou might do it Marcus might jump on it but like so there's two
sales right there yeah so so maybe I'll buy their used one that'll be my trick I
mean it works for a lot of people I'm not of like to buy everything's School
of YouTube me neither I just it's just not
we do but I mean there's certainly a market for it and people will do and think I'd watch a video that they did
you know all right we got six minutes left if we're going to try and get you out of here on time so let's move on to
the MacBook can I can I can I can I launch the opening Salvo here I'm not
I'm not going to talk ports I'm not even going to talk ports okay I'm going to leave that for you okay so the MacBook
Apple unleashes the MacBook I'm not going to talk color either now Apple had
a Macbook and Once Upon a Time the
MacBook made sense in the in the in the in the grand scheme of Apple's lineup we
had the MacBook Pro this was for your content creators this was before Apple
completely forgot about content creators and then pretended they remembered
content creators and gave them that little uh you know cylinder PC so when
they had the MacBook Pro for creators and it was large and it was heavy and
you lived with that because damn it it was powerful it was good okay then they
had the MacBook that was the consumer model that was the one that had you know
kind of everything that Katie needs and
Katie could buy that and be confident that she could FaceTime or you know
happy hour or whatever it is that people do on MacBooks okay then they introduced
the MacBook Air and that made sense so air was light and pro was Pro and the
MacBook was like the vanilla one now we've got the MacBook a thinner lighter
air what what is this
naming what are they doing explain the
to me you were there surely you had an opportunity to ask someone so that's my
exact if the MacBook is all about thin and light what the hell is the air about
why did they even refresh the air why is the air still existent now the air looks
so busted with its giant ass bezels and
non Retina Display like it looks so old
and busted and I imagine the air now has giant profit margins with it I can't I
can't see why somebody would buy an Aon out okay but then hold on so let's move
into the next the next wait there's moreit but wait it gets even more
ridiculous okay I I promised I'd let you do this one so what's the gotcha with
the MacBook okay so two Goa and the one's
not even being talked about before I get to the big one yeah M processor yeah
like I I get it fanless no problem I
don't mind the M processor so I okay I'll let you finish but but I'm actually
going to argue this point go ahead though so so argue I'm curious to test
the M processor let me Le say that I've tested it on PCS if it's as capable as
everybody suspecting then that's a no argument I'm not expecting to do heavy
3D rendering or video editing on this computer if it can play
Starcraft if I can edit some photos on it then you know that's probably going
to be good enough and if I can play 4K videos back from YouTube then I I won't complain and
that's a nonissue the big one for me I'm sitting here at my office and at home I
have a similar setup I'm looking at an iMac and to my right I'm looking at a
Thunderbolt display which I'd like to continue to
use well well you just suck at life apparently yeah imagine you you believed
the lie you invested in the Thunderbolt
ecosystem you're a sucker okay so new
Macbook comes out with one port it's USBC first of all USBC is great one port
for everything love the idea of USBC you can charge it batteries all the adapters
great but one port and there are a billion adapters
and obviously going to come out third party but $80 for the Apple s adapter
let you do what your computer should do out of the box and beyond that my
thousand display is useless to me it's a
USB hub it is a big ass USB hub it's a
really beautiful one yeah so I took my
MacBook with me to the Apple event let's say next year I want to take my Mac
MacBook with me to the Apple event here's what I need I need my MacBook
yeah uh I need the charging cable yes I
need a USB adapter can go for an SD card
yep I need another uh USB adapter that I
can plug in a thumb drive yep or I maybe I need another USBC adapter that's or
just or just one USB adapter and a hub like even a nonp powerered hub so now at
the very least I need two dongles or one dongle and a hub like a brick in it or
something if I forget that or lose it or God forbid it
breaks that computer is you I mean that computer's useless it's a beautifully
designed gorgeous useless piece of crap to me at that event you could you could
bring two of all of the above but then let's talk Brandon bring five let's talk
I mean both Lenovo and ASUS have gone
fullon shots fired mode at Apple over this computer uh Lenovo showed the Yoga
3 and ASUS showed the ux305 and they
went what is going on here we're we're I
think it was what Yoga 3 was thinner and ux305 was slightly thicker but actually
has ports and I'm kind of sitting here going okay hold on a second Apple let me
let me comprehend this for a second I'm going try because I probably won't be able to but I'll try anyway because you
deserve it you have billions of dollars or something therefore I should try to
understand you um you are going to save me2 millimet
and then I have to carry like a bunch of
dongles so I have to legitimately buy it's like the it's like it's like my
objection to the iPad at the beginning and I still object to the 10in 10-in
tablet form factor I don't think it makes a ton of sense I called it the
uncaring around a backpack for it so unless you have a purse which I don't
you can't carry it and that to me is what a laptop that requires dongles is
it's an uncarved bag to carry the MacBook and we
haven't even talked about the color yet because I'm gonna want a bag to put that in because it is obscenely ugly so
listen if I think that this MacBook is making the Yoga 3 Pro and the Surface
Pro 3 going to sell even better I mean
those things are gonna fly off the shelf especially with Windows 10 coming the
yoka Pro 3 is awesome and has
ports that shouldn't even be a selling point that's what the world has come to
why is why is actual ports a selling point I mean Apple Apple has done this
to us before I mean are they just so
arrogant that they've gone okay well they've accepted that we outright refuse
to put a Micro SD card reader in our frakin phones for the last eight years
or however long the iPhone has existed people have accepted that so screw them
let's take away all the ports from everything when they were doing the announcement and you heard s Johnny I's
Voice come over the whole unapologetically plastic thing came back
my mind but all I can vision is I'm going like this oh they smell
delicious oh I delicious farts
unapologetically plastic was the best line he has ever spoken ever ever
spoken ever so okay the
colors the space gray looks great I don't get what's up with the colors
they's space gray and silver why are you so mad gold so don't buy it well okay
the problem the problem is okay okay okay let's go back sorry John you can go
at any time I know you have to go that's fine but but I want to talk gold
products for a minute do you remember how the and John I don't know how
closely you follow PC the PC World like motherboards and crap like that you had
an option but do you remember when ASUS launched their Gold Series Z87
motherboards they made all their motherboards gold and you know why they did it they said because we are the gold
standard we are number one in motherboards and as much as that was a
very Taiwanese rationale for It For
Better or For Worse I believe they were actually the first to kick that sort of
that stupid anodized blasted gold finish
and and kind of go yes this is the future and we hat before we hated it
then there was gold iPhones were there before I'm not sure about the timing of
that so don't quote me on that but the point is they did it and we destroyed
them for it we absolutely destroyed them there no option there's silver and space
gray though now Apple's going to do it there's silver and space I know I know
but Apple's going to do it and the whole industry is going to go oh people demand
gold and they're going to make gold products you look at Samsung's doing it
already HTC is doing it
already when did gold not like yellow
gold turn from like a tacky color for old people to hip and fashionable I I
don't like it I just find it hard to be mad at this when you can easily Buy
spacep which looks really good or silver what we I tend to I tend to agree I mean
if that was the only color option I would be enraged but color option was
gold I would be going after this harder than I went after IUS cuz this is ridiculous and you're going to see your
the color of your laptop more than you're going to see the color of your motherboard which is nuts but there's
there's silver and space gray and and apple seems to like their colors I don't
think they're going to narrow it down to just one color either until we get pink
for Next Generation oh yeah yeah yeah let's get let's get a pink he's not
going to attack anyone actually I would like the pink one
the P i' be totally down for the pink can we get that recorded like that to be
noted for iPhone 6s lonus will have the
pink version that is on the internet it is done I would do it I would do it 100%
y I'm playing this back by the way come September I'm just letting you
know so okay I mean those were those
were the highlights this is what I really wanted to get you on to like to
to really like to talk about because I know that mobile device is your freaking
wheelhouse I figured maybe you could shed some light on this yeah I have no
light I have no light to shed on I did a whole video on it being like I don't
know why you would get one but I don't
know I people buy it people buy people
will they'll sell out yeah but like I it
just depends how much they'll sell out like will they sell out and then be hard to get or they sell out and then kind of
sit on shelves after that they will sit on shelves for like a super long time
hopefully I think we'll see
post post Steve Jobs Apple man it's not the same yeah the reports of Apple
demise are obviously exaggerated but man I don't know what I don't know what the
I'm not saying demise I'm just saying it's it's very different now that he's
it is very different I mean can can we go can we go like can we put our
cynicism hats on here for a moment I wish I had mine it's in the closet over
there I have a cynicism hat and can we just kind of go well Apple had to
reinvest their sapphire glass you know
facil they had to they had to repurpose that for a data center so they got to figure
out how to sell you more iCloud storage or something so they were like well how
about no ports brilliant let's do it oh
my God no ports I don't can I can I play devil's advocate for just a minute here
absolutely okay so I'll do it for the watch and the MacBook okay if I were
apple and I was you know running a business such as such as they do and I was Tim Cook say listen we make our
money not in Hardware profit margins certainly they're
there and they're definitely there iPhone business is obviously huge bigger
than Google and Microsoft our bread and butter now is just becoming our app
ecosystem becoming our ecosystem right anything that we can do to get people
inside of that ecosystem to spend another 99 cents on another app that's
probably already on their phone that they want to put on their wrist that's
worth us doing and even if our profit margins on this watch are 10% if we
spread out our release cycle to 18 months because people maybe aren't going
to want to buy a watch every year by the
time month 14 to 18 rolls around those profit margins are 40 to 50% and now we
only need one out of every thousand iPhone owners to buy a watch and we
still make money just as as as an advocate I can
see the business case that just doesn't sound very Apple though no and in the
meantime we'll figure out what the hell people are G to do with it like when we'll come up with some killer feature
for the next one yeah yeah and that that's that's the iPad one argument I
think we'll create this device we'll see what on Earth is going on and then we'll
iterate quickly and make it way better yeah and then for the I totally read
that for the MacBook I think that is like their their halo car let's show the
world what we can do we can do this because we're Apple we can make a
keyboard that supposedly has double click mode that doesn't even click
because we are Apple we'll make the most beautifully designed laptop who gives a
[ __ ] that it only has one port look at this thing it's gorgeous is your Audi R8
practical it only has two seats is your Lamborghini practical it only has two
seats we got one port I got one port because [ __ ] it we don't need
more you're buying this for the design not for the performance if you want more
ports buy one of our busted MacBook
airs yeah I I don't think the cost of
the additional ports is even going to factor into it that much because it's
just going to automatically be bundled every single time if you're buying a Macbook you don't care spending $1,200
on a core you don't care the the thing I don't like is having to kind of haul it
around and having it be this detached experience and I'm going to I will lose
it if I had a Macbook that thing would be gone in three days max that's G
myself a lot I'm in the same man the
lost and found of like every University English class is just going to have like
an entire bucket of these adapters it's be ridiculous dongles everywhere dongles
as far as the eye can see just nuts I I just straight up couldn't do it whenever
I don't have HDMI I spaz on a laptop you
got remember what user users buying it yeah a lot of users that are buying this
will very rarely plug anything into it unless it's like speakers or headphones
because you've got a keyboard you've got a mouse you probably don't need video
out well speaking of plugging let's get John to do another plug for uh for where
you guys can find him and his opinions on Apple and Android and all that good
stuff before he gets back to his family before I do that I just want to say I
love what you guys do I think you guys are absolutely awesome anytime I get a chance to come on here I will do
everything I can to make it work I follow your post on Instagram I I love
what you guys do and I think you are some of the best in the industry at it
um if you want to check us out it's phones tablets and just me getting super
[ __ ] and cranky uh you can check me out at
youtube.com teob Buffalo um or teob
buffalo.com but but pay to this guy this guy's a smart man um and uh you know
hopefully I get a chance to come on again soon maybe we can film a video
together we should totally do that we have never collabed on anything can we
find a reason to collab we can do like I'll build a PC and something let's F
and I'm I'm being honest I'm email you next week and we're gonna find something I've got I've got a couple ideas in that
department but you guys could do like a a like a if you did like a Tag Team
Battle of like destroying the new Apple product
oh you guys did like literally like a tag team match video where you like tag
each other in for different points and like we we have it like all edited and staged so it looks like an arena or
whatever and you guys just smash this thing we will find something I'm sure we
I that's just the first thing I like we can do a great debate and just like yeah
like yeah exactly I'd love to like rrap it or something yeah you know I don't
know where this is going but just YouTube I don't know if you're on the same team it'll have to go somewhere
against each other it'll have to I'm on board man I'm on board you guys have
like a a streamed coin flip like a week before and when you has to go on the
side of defending the watch oh
wow I we flip a coin you got use your
MacBook as your only computer for a week oh I've got a lot of people asking for
us to have you as as like a special celebrity guest on scrapyard Wars or
something like that that'd be super cool okay whatever it is we'll figure it out
and thank you for the kind words it means a lot coming from you cuz of
course man I've been following you forever since before I was like making
YouTube videos pretty much so thank you
thank you have a good rest of the uh the afternoon up there and hopefully I'll
get a chance to talk to you soon man later man bye guys all right so guys
that was uh oh well that's a wow really
bad at this thing I am basically the worst okay so thank you guys uh thank
you to John for joining us here on the WAN Show that was an absolute freaking
blast um I mean I don't know how much
more we have to say but what I will say is we definitely need to roll our intro
because we haven't done it
yet so today's show is brought to you
guys by linda.com also Squarespace and Dollar
Shave Club make your mind good make your
website good and make your face look
good yeah make everything look good yeah
so let's go ahead and we are going to do a little bit more Apple talk but not
much um they are lowering the price of
Apple TV and you know what I'm just going to I we we never did like Victoria
Secret did a great job of the post on the Forum we never gave a shout out to
him really good job of the Apple coverage y so you can basically check
out Victoria Secrets post on it and he's got it all like Tiddly organized with
like little spoiler tags and all that stuff um but there were a couple other
things in there that were really important so first of all we only talked
pricing for the entry level the 38 and 42 mm sport edition um so that's 349 and
399 did you post this in the thing uh no I didn't want to go ahead uh you can get
the stainless ones for between 550 to
1100 um and then starting at $10,000 for
Edition the Edition Edition which we didn't even we didn't even Ripon with
John the addition Edition the editioned
it's such a great Edition that it's called Edition it defines
Edition thank you unapologetically
addition that's a good that those are both pretty good lines
um 18-hour battery life according to 90
time checks 90 notifications 45 minutes of app use and 30 minutes of working out
with uh music playback per day so okay
that's the watch we got through that S1
processor Siri accelerometer blippity bloop okay so we got some MacBook stuff
we definitely talked MacBook it is beautiful I will give it that high
resolution can't remember it's like a 16 by10
something by 1440 2304 by 1440 because
whatever conventional resolutions screw those things uh here's the stupid
adapter so you can actually have a USB port and an HDMI out okay I I to you I
didn't have time to look at any of this stuff where how how do you plug in headphones so what are you an idiot
headphones is there just no I guess
you're actually I don't think it has one I think you're expected to use Bluetooth yeah really yeah um man that sucks yeah
what if I want to use like not Bluetooth no you're an idiot then
you're doing it wrong I don't like that yeah so so like no Thunderbolt is the
kicker to me here yeah that's super weird with with apple being the you know
they might have other versions of this breakout dongle though like they could
have something later on online where you can have normal headphones and Thunderbolt and something well type c is
not going to not going to carry Thunderbolt oh yeah so like
nope wow um so there's that like I
haven't looked at this at all I didn't know that was was type c I thought that
assuming knowing them I thought it was actually going to be Thunderbolt why is
it type c because their pants on head ridiculous that's so weird thanks yatsi
for that thing that I use all the time um Apple TV is now 69 bucks HBO is
coming with HBO now and the entire HBO catalog super cool wow how many cord how
many people are going to cut the cord if they don't need their HBO subscription
on cable uh to be able to get HBO I'd probably get that combo although I I'm
not a fan of a lot yeah so it's going to be exclusive to Apple at least for now
but at 69 bucks at 69 bucks the Apple TV
is a bargain I have one it's a good product if I could get HBO I'd if I
could get HBO now I'd get an Apple TV and even if even if you don't have
aren't invested in the Apple ecosystem like even if you're not going to cast
from your phone to your Apple TV or whatever else Apple TV is still a great
product even just for like streaming from like a home server or something
like your media collection netfli it's a little Netflix alth not as
good a Netflix as the upom NVIDIA Shield but then that's $200 so if you don't
need to do 4K Netflix then what about like steam link uh well okay so there's
there's a whole bunch of other reasons why you might want something other than
an Apple TV but for strictly media consumption Apple TV makes a ton of
sense especially at 70 bucks I'd really I would massively prefer steam link to
be completely honest but um at the same time steamlink would take up a computer
and doesn't have HBO now and it doesn't have HBO now but the thing is I can't
even get HBO now because HBO now is only us isn't it and they're like being super
strict about that aren't they yeah I'm not I'm not sure I hav't you Netflix is
like oh yeah well it's region locked but
uh it's pretty easy to get around like I think HBO now is being really
restrictive like uh credit card locations and like PayPal home addresses
and stuff like you can't sign up unless you have a payment option from that
region well I'll have to rely on uh the twitch chat to correct us on that but
yeah I don't know I I I hope it's not apparently there is a 3 and 12 mm port
on the other side there you go so if that if that's its own dedicated thing I
honestly don't think a lot of people are going need that breakout box so headphone jack USB 3 well you can't plug
in like a USB flash drive so period
unless you have a type-c flash drive and you're willing to unplug your power to
plug it in so it's like a lot of people are starting to use stuff like Dropbox
and drive super dumb though I I know I'm just saying I don't think it's going to
be as impactful all right all right everyone we got it we got it the
headphone jack is on the right I I have not done as much okay so I'm going to be
forthright with you guys I have done almost two videos per day this week of
my normal on my normal one video per day schedule so I am not we just filmed I am
not as prepped as I would normally be for w show we just filmed and it's not
even we did like all easy videos we did a Hardline build log over the last
couple days which is like a it looks
pretty sick it's pretty awesome it's really nice so so
whatever whatever what
whatever okay so let's go back to the uh let's go back okay I said that was the
last Apple thing no I actually have one more Apple thing you're just huge Apple
Fanboy also posted by Victoria Secret you want to go ahead and uh I think I
linked that one already in okay well whatever this is the uh this is the the
the amount of actual gold in the Apple watch and this is a great article on
lean crew.com and it talks about how who
should probably get their websites made by Squarespace yeah because it looks awful um we'll do sponsors later but um
okay so basically the way that a carrot works a lot of people don't know this
nope I didn't okay so so carrot for
Diamond refers to the weight the actual
like the weight of diamond now carrot is a measure of weight for gold but
actually refers to the percentage of
mass which colloquially we use weight and mass interchangeably here on Earth
since we're always going to be dealing with the same 9.8 m per second squared
of force from the earth which is going to allow the ma a given Mass to weigh a
given amount on Earth but of course it'll weigh something else somewhere
else so if I if I interchange mass and weight you know what screw off so
basically carrot is a measure of of of
of of weight or mass or whatever the case may be now with gold the 18 or the
24 Karat or the 10 karat or whatever doesn't actually refer to the entire
mass or weight of the item it refers to the percentage of the total
volume volume of the item that is gold
now normally when you make an 18 karat gold something or other whether it's a
watcher ring or whatever else you would mix the gold with another metal in an
alloy such as silver a much less expensive metal because this does two
things number one is it reduces the cost and number two is it actually makes the
gold usable pure gold is so malleable it
would be Kat I think is 100% I'm not sure I think 24 is still an alloy pure
pure I I forget what it for silver it's Troy whatever the equivalent is pure
gold like 99.9% gold would be pretty much unusable for jewelry it would
scratch all over the place it would be heavier it would actually be heavier
than than something that's alloyed with something else and is just totally
impractical on top of being more expensive now normally you would alloy
it with a metal what Apple has done is they have found a way to kind of create
like a ceramic gold mixture instead of a metal
metal alloy so what this has done is a couple of things it actually has some
positive effect so positive effect number one is that it makes it more
scratch resistant positive effect number two is that it makes it lighter um and I
guess well that's prettyy much it positive effect number three for Apple
not necessarily for you is that it makes it cheaper because 1 cubic cm and this
is from the article of regular 18 karat gold so the amount required to make a
watch cubic cm of 18 karat gold contains
11.7 G of actual gold 1 cubic cim of
Apple's 18 karat gold contains 5.43 G of
actual gold less than half the amount
and this is because carrot is the percentage of the material by oh sorry
did I say by volume I think it's by mass okay whatever anyway it's the percentage
of it takes up a bigger volume blah blah same weight ratio yeah so so percentage
by mass is carrot and because the ceramic is so much lighter than silver
the volume is high but the amount of gold in it is low but the carrot is high
because the ceramic is less dense and lighter they should use arog gem
well anyway the point is your Apple watch contains less than half as much
actual gold as a regular 18 karat gold
time piece would be so personally I'm
not going to get all pissed off over this it doesn't make sense to me to be
all mad because apple found you're not going to buy it anyways I'm not going to buy it anyways so that that's a thing
but I'm also I wouldn't be upset anyway because apple is effectively delivering
what they're saying they're delivering and they are making it more scratch
resistant and harder which is which is good if I'm investing in something like
a watch that I expect to you know have for 50 years except that it's an Apple
Watch so I won't whacking it against a door by accident or I'll be carrying
something and it'll grab it or whatever yeah I'll probably be thankful at some
point that it's more durable yeah
but someone's like lonus I came here for Tech talk I don't understand not mineral
talk I don't understand okay well don't don't worry too much about that the
point is the Apple watch doesn't have as much gold as you probably thought it did
not that you cared cuz you weren't going to uh you weren't going to buy it anyway
I certainly wasn't all right so I guess that's that's pretty much it should we
move on to some actual Tech here let's talk AVG working on awesome working on
identity like protection glasses that
like have an invisible like field that
they put in front of your face to make it more difficult for face recognition
to recognize you It's Not Invisible field well it's invisible to the naked
eye but it's not a it's not a field whatever you're not a field it's not
even close to how it works here's a picture oh my goodness you want to talk
about what's going on here so when it when it detects like a flash or a camera
taking a photo it will it'll do the thing on the right they already have
clothes that do this the material is covered in it so when you take a photo
of it it glows like crazy and kind of pulls the light there instead of
everywhere else and makes it look like there there's a darker Zone around it so
it's very hard if you saw the dude on the
right he looks a lot like the dude on the left yeah but with 100% certainty
it's a guy with a beard and especially for software where it's going to be
designed to pick up landmarks on your
face and then compare against something else these are going to be a real bear
for those to deal with for sure now to be clear this is not technology that is
available in a commercial product yet by any stretch of the imagination uh on the
clothes I think it is just not in the glasses yeah so so uh what what are what
are we what are we calling it so infrared lights and retrolective materials on the surface of the glasses
return the flash of the camera and infrared lights obscure your face in a
photo since cameras pick it up but human eyes do not so much like um the night
mode on your you know your camcorder from the 80s or whatever most things
don't have a night mode these days where they have an infrared lamp that
illuminates the scene these will have an infrared lamp that goes right in the
camera Center and basically makes the image a complete mess yeah super cool
and AVG figures this is an important step towards um for an important step
due to evolving Technologies like Facebook's deep face technology which is
an improved system for identifying faces I'd buy glasses that had these on it and
and that's that is a very good point because I wouldn't go and buy these
glasses I don't want those glasses no but if Pearl Vision or whatever had you
know oh it's an X doll Adder it's 30 bucks for the face recognition love that
they love that if you can have some little Adder whatever like oh it's only
this much more glasses are a big investment you might as well just do
it they're right A lot of the time exactly that's I don't know glasses
places don't have to be that pushy because they're like yeah this is actually like kind of a really good idea
you're not going to buy another pair for really long time you know how much money
my parents saved getting flexon frames for my little brother when he was like
eight yeah probably tons people have broken those glasses so many times and
it's a it's a little Adder so they make a little bit more money 50 bucks or 75
bucks or whatever anyway yeah um speaking of making another 50 bucks here
another 75 bucks there um AMD Microsoft
and Sony and Nintendo are all going to
be pretty happy as China has finally
lifted its ban on game console sales BR
is going to get wrecked sorry what said COD Bros are going to get wrecked it is
uh I mean all it's not like Chinese people weren't finding ways to buy
consoles it's estimated that I forget who this is from but someone that an
article I was reading so don't don't quote me on it estimated that a million
game consoles are sold in China every year even with the ban but then we're
talking China with like over a billion people a million a year is nothing this
is going to be huge for anyone involved
in in selling game consoles I mean this could be a huge shot of adrenaline for
all of the aforementioned companies and AMD is a big one here because for
absolutely no extra R&D and sure it's at
their contract price which I'm sure is very you know Thrifty for Microsoft Sony
and Nintendo given that AMD won all of the bids against their rival NVIDIA yeah
um but it's a nice little shot in the ARM for AMD because they get to move a
bunch of volume of the chips that are powering all of the current gen consoles
yeah that's awesome it's almost completely untapped opportunity over
there sales bands on stuff like this are just stupid anyways so so it's it's nice
to see China's sort of going oh well I guess there's PC games too I guess we're
doing absolutely nothing to prevent people from playing games if that's the
objective I guess the sort of the goal of getting everyone to make every all
their consoles completely in China and I think it was even restricted to was what
was it like one region they wanted them to put all the fact I remember like
there was we had some discussion about this before um so blah blah blah okay
you know what forget it let's just let that business happen and uh
awesome here's just kind of a this is a very this is a very quick one original
article here is from The Verge I just thought this was uh this was kind of
interesting I have input on this we'll see where this goes all right so uh
Facebook did you post this in the twitch chat I'm working on it awesome it's
almost like we know how to run this show now almost almost Maybe in a couple more
years we're not quite there yet yeah can you believe W Show's been a thing for
like really old years now like three years I know I remember before the
company started didn't it I uh not as W
show but the live stream did yeah yeah so the live stream is almost three years
old I think like two and a half years old now you've been on the live stream
for well over two years now um okay so
Facebook removes the feeling fat emoon
under pressure from on online activist
so you can see there's kind of an online protest going on here uh fat is not a
feeling hasag thumbs down Facebook I
have an easy solution to this do you want to go first though uh but no you do
your solution first why didn't they just change it to feeling bloated cuz
sometimes I'm feeling bloated okay mine ties into this very well we had MTO
burritos yeah I was feeling kind of fat
I guess bloated yeah like whatever we I mean Luke and I each ate burritos it's
amazing this room is not a veritable gas chamber right now I've been holding it
in so okay that's good let's both do
that working on that let's keep doing that we both ate burritos that are like
like the size of a small mammal yeah you
know and like like a fairly Hefty small M full of beans and cheese and meat and
like did we do we get exactly the same burrito yes you just tell Nick to get
whatever I get don't you yeah for the okay cuz he never it's a good burrito
well okay he never told I just told him like get something with chicken and then
I remember hearing him go through every possible ingredient with you and you
like speced it out and I'm like okay well that's probably going to be better
so I was what I'm too lazy can figure my own and then it showed up and I was like
yeah it's better so I just I have that one it's
like we have a mind meld for food because I went to a restaurant with him
where like I actually tried we always ordered the same thing like one of us
orders whoever's familiar orders and then whoever's not familiar just gets
the same thing and I tried I went through the menu and I picked two things
and I was like okay Luke I can't decide on these two which one should I get and
he goes those are the two I always get and I just rotate every time CU I
don't really know which one I like more fantastic terrible anyways yeah I
don't know I I really don't think this was a malicious thing and like okay one thing
that I thought was too is they're going after that but I'm feeling ugly is still
an option and to me okay I'm probably
going to offend someone because # fattis
not a feeling is definitely valid fat is a state of being but not a feeling it
should have been bloated it should have been bloated for one thing feeling ugly
is something that a far greater
percentage of people are going to have a
lesser degree of control over
than their body fat percentage Yeah and
I'm just going to leave it at that feeling ugly to me should be much more
offensive than feeling fat and the fight was over feeling fat not feeling ugly
and feeling ugly is still on there and ugly is definitely not a feeling unless
it's a self-esteem concern and like I I can
kind of get like there's probably better term for it again like I was with
bloated feeling disheveled yes there you go like oh I I just got back from
tough muttered yeah and I and I look dead and there's dirt all over me and
I'm just gross I really need a shower and I need a catnap cuz I'm looking
disgusting yeah and like that's that's what it means and I hope we all
understand that but but if we're going to say okay no the actual definition of
the word from dictionary.com is the only thing that matters then feeling ugly is
a lot more offensive to me makes way more sense or or maybe even something
else I'd be fine with the shovel maybe it's just because like
okay you know what never mind uh Apple's research kit did in 24 hours what would
normally take 50 medical centers a year
this is pretty cool and this is something that we glossed over a little
bit when we had John rer on because this was a really really like like
groundbreakingly cool announcement from the Apple press conference um do you
want to run through this while I scroll through the thing here I don't know enough about it again I didn't have
enough time I'll I'll I'll go over a little bit basically it's really
expensive to run research programs you have to get a whole bunch bunch of institutes onl expensive you have to try
and get people to volunteer or pay them how are you going to get people to volunteer I would never volunteer for a
medical experiment man it's sketchy right even a survey they call me up I'm
like I don't have time for this whatever yeah so they're moving that away from
these giant multi-million dollar projects to oh well you can just kind of
do it on your phone and it'll track things potentially automatically and
like you don't really have to worry about it you just tap these two things it'll it'll track your workout schedules
it'll track whatever it tells you things like the condition the air in the region
you're in right now oh there's a lot of big particles a lot of small particles a
lot of this Dippity bloop it gives you your like your heart age it tracks your
movement I mean that's a big problem uh this is a great this is a great quote
people will people will say things incorrectly they'll lie to their doctors
and the iPhone can be like actually they were physical for this long this week
which is say 3 hours instead of the 16 that they reported yeah and and this so
aside from inaccuracy being a major problem the cost so so uh this is from
the 9to5mac.com article apparently and this blew me away a typical Parkinson's
research study with 800 participants over five years could cost $60 million
keeping track of them all taking care of everybody the Parkinson's app had
5,589 participants as of the morning of March 10th Tuesday I mean the kind of
data is the data perfect no is it better
than asking someone like me who I couldn't even tell you what my last meal
was before the burrito the only reason I remember I ate a burrito was that I can
still taste it in my mouth every time I burp like I I don't remember that stuff
if you're like oh how many hours did you work out this week I'd be
like six is that right is that like what you
want to hear I I don't know um so and I
know not everyone's as bad as me but the point is if it's just on your phone
something people habitually carry anyway that's freaking awesome and and already
like Stanford has piped up saying that this is this is Meaningful and helpful
and they're not exactly a a disreputable
Source on uh on that kind of on that kind of stuff so I'm super excited I
wish I had an option to do this on so cool and I don't um I mean I'm sure
Android's going to clone it so there's that will they though probably
eventually it might take a while yeah yeah I mean is there anything the iPhone
had at launch that an Android phone doesn't do now let's look at it that way
that's been a long time what would Google give to have all this data but
Google seems to be going a different direction okay
yes winner you just got Trump carded fool
Google wants the data fool Google wants the data I can't say anything against
Google wanting more data just instantly lose that argument yep that was that was
never an argument you know what sometimes we have arguments on this show
where I'm like he's going to win this one or he might win this one but we were
going we were going I was holding that trump card I was holding that trump card
yeah I was ready to play that Trump C someone asked me when when I was doing
the like TR okay one thing that people don't seem to understand there's a few
things that like blow my mind that people don't understand one all the
people that I was trolling at PAX East definitely knew who I was every single
person in that video that one was awesome the the guy that trolled me yeah
that was fantastic um every single one of those guys in that video or ores uh
approached me and like said hi and wanted
that was the idea that was the whole idea is I was like when Luke and I were
planning this we were like okay how do we pick people to troll and it was
anyone who walks up to Luke is going to get trolled that's how it worked I would
preface it I would be like I'm going to be a dick this is going to suck it's not
going to be great I I I told them honestly I want you to attack me I want
you to throw back everyone was way too nice they went for it cuz you were like
you were like because you get to be an Alli detected video and they're like
yeah man and I'm like you don't understand and then you were just like a
jerk I didn't think you had it in you I it took a little bit I didn't think you
had it in there there's a few interviews in there that didn't actually make it better are in the very beginning cuz I
was being too nice and I had to be like okay and the thing is what you don't see
is after every one of those interviews where I'm like we get to not a proper
end but I'm just like okay I have to stop I'm like I can't do this anymore
and I'd like apologize and shake their hands and I'd hang out with everybody
afterwards and just talk and talk about the like actual conversation instead of
this just trolly rant and then like it was it was actually a lot more friendly
than it appeared um I don't remember where I was going with this right but
the reason why I was so good at that was because of this oh sitting and talking
to me all day 100% because I'll have to Devil's Advocate something and I'll
believe in it not at all but like to make the conversation interesting I'll
have to just start throwing things in the air so that you can defend them or
I'll have to defend something cuz you'll be throwing things in the air and like
it it made it so that I could more on the spot come with things oh man which
is hilarious but yeah the whole time I've seing there I'm like this is very
wowy all right speaking of wow the wow wouldn't be possible without sponsors
like linda.com linda.com wow you know
what normally we get kind of goofy about the sponsor spot so I'm going to do like
I'm going to do serious reads today okay I'm going to see how that goes why is
linda.com important linda.com is important because it's a great way to
improve your skills whether it's at a hobby or whether it's at making more
money and getting a more like respectable career like a better career
off the ground linda.com is absolutely awesome whether it's photography video
editing business I cannot I cannot
overstate I cannot yes I cannot overstate the importance of business
Acumen in life so much of what I do here
at lus Media Group as a video creator
actually stems from what I learned about business working at NC for all those
years being involved in in business decisions and interacting with people uh
linda.com has professional instructors they have experts they have new courses
added every week you learn completely at your own pace and basically it's good
vibes all around it's reasonably priced and you can get a 10-day free trial by
visiting linda.com wow to find out if you're into it or not next up we've got
Squarespace Squarespace is straight up awesome dudes as well and I've been
promising that like awesome Squarespace uh testimonial for the longest time I
finally found it okay this is the best
Squarespace endorsement I have ever seen
and aside from that Squarespace is a
site that you know lets you make a a website and stuff like that is good um
you know I'm not going to say too much about it other than this I'm going to
read this I really enjoyed using Squarespace and understand how they
lonus and Luke recommend it time and time again I'm not sponsored and I will
be recommending it to friends and as well but the real point of this post is
I want you all to look at my site and tell me what you think tell me what I could change wording Design Services I'm
doing this on the side while I'm in college right now for a CIS degree I
still want to make this the best I can I don't know if anyone in LMG will see
this we did yeah yo man but you guys are always talking about showing a viewer
Squarespace site on the W show and I would honestly be honored it would help me a lot because I know there's a lot of
viewers in Portland and whatnot the point of this was not to be an ad but if
you're reading this and in Portland Oregon feel free to inquire about Services okay well I hadn't I hadn't
remembered that he wrote that so we'll just leave that open we'll ignore that
part I guess whatever we to go signode
conduct something yeah code of conduct on the form
whatever all right so here's Simon pdx.com and there you go tech
support nice little site all functional you just go ahead
you click it it's responsive design so it's going to work on a phone it's going
to work on whatever else you he didn't use the Getty Images thing where you can
like get better images but other than the images not being like necessarily
the best images overall functional site
responsive site easy to do squarespace.com highly recommended and
then the last sponsor today Dollar Shave Club we don't have any High Jinks yeah
okay I didn't I even get you don't have
to use the shav for your whole face okay well whatever the point is I look all
right so Dollar Shave Club is all about looking good I don't think that's that
looks fine all right you look you look fine and I he okay okay he shaves part
of his face so if I didn't shave at all
it would be like down to here no joke
and it would be like up to here everywhere which is like Mountain Man
kind of look yeah okay okay so what's good about Dollar Shave Club is
basically you pay a few bucks a month and they deliver razors or other
bathroom supplies directly to your door they're reasonably priced the only
things they've changed about their rates in the last little while are outside of
the US um according to the currency exchange rate shift they have changed
the rates in countries like Canada but what I love about Dollar Shave Club is
that they operate on a principle of okay here's the amount of money we think we
deserve to make for our service and we're not just going to give Canadians
the old you know this just because we can or which happens a lot where things
will have an MSRP that's like 50 books are a big one 50% higher MSRP just
because Canada even when the exchange rate is near par Dollar Shave Club is
all about fair treatment and a good quality product to your door so they got
razors they've got sh their shaving butter they've got their After Shave
they've got their one wipe Charlie's butt wipes for men which are peppermint scented just in case you want your you
know o-ring to someone at smell nice
like was going to like give me one of his spares no joke I saw him in the
Oculus lineup he's like hey so I like ran over hi no he was like just do you
want one like I have a extra one I'm
like I'm good it's it's it's sealed but
I still wouldn't share right butt wipes
with someone I've never met before it is sealed though they're individually
sealed thank you I I appreciate that
okay we said we were going to say stay serious I wrecked it oh the butt wipes
always brings out the anyway dollar sh cl.com
Linus that was like that was like 85%
through the total I don't think I've ever made it through a Dollar Shave Club
Spot while maintaining my profm they're commercial I know they bring it on
themselves I mean Linda doesn't bring it on themselves no but we do it anyway
Squarespace doesn't he but I I did them all nicely today so squ might put
everyone to sleep if you're the kinds of people well okay Jeff Bridges thing was
hilarious okay three or four of those tracks are actually pretty interesting
the rest are kind of just CRA the rest are ridiculous some of them you could sleep
to some of them are cre creepy like so
creepy like
bizarre all right oh man let's move on
we've done all of our all of our sponsor stuff they're all they're all good folks
all of those guys are some of the longest term sponsors we've had MH and
like wow guys yeah they've all supported the W show for a really long time which
is Prett cool that's awesome cuz like w show is a cool program people should
support it and watch it all right speaking of uh people support speaking
of support valve was given an F in customer service by the Better Business
Bureau and is this surprising all
is awesome the awesome thing about this is
not that valve got an F that's not the
awesome part that is the completely expected part yes um so this is the
original article here is from Kotaku and it's actually a pretty it's a pretty fun
read but the best part is this response
from valve Business Development Eric
Johnson valve doesn't really consider
the Better Business Bureau a priority
the BBB is far less useful proxy for
customer issues than Reddit we don't use them for much they don't provide us as
use uh something as useful of data as customers emailing us posting on Reddit
posting on Twitter and so
on what your crap BBB rating is for the
717 complaints that were filed against the business and the failure to respond
to 52 of them talking about how you know
oh Twitter and Reddit are better all that means is you're not paying
attention unless it's posted in public that is [ __ ] yeah that is nonsense
valve support is terrible crap that is
basically valve saying we don't care because it wasn't posted in public that
was why we didn't bother to respond shame on you valve we love valve as much
as anyone but that response was awful
that was the worst thing valve could have said steam is fantastic but if
you've ever had a problem with anything to do with your Steam account you know
the like odd kind of gross taste in the back of your mouth every time that you
worry anything is going wrong with your Steam account because you're screwed the
chance of getting a response even through steam's it comes eventually I
always get one like a month later but it's slow like I've actually had them
weeks later and I'm like dude I'm a paying customer I have hundreds of games
I am very much a paying customer I've used your service a lot and the fact
that I can't get help at all for weeks is insane yep and the fact that you have
enough money to invest in customer service I mean it's one thing you know
we can talk about like we we we griped about one plus but when we griped about
oneplus's customer service we griped about their business model and there
that their business model that we should have all seen this coming because
they're selling a phone at no margin how were they possibly going to support it
with valve they they can use some of their hat money to support their
customers I don't think that that should be an issue so that's the problem we we
love steam steam is fantastic valve is
great their customer support is absolute garbage but they're great um we ha EA
and they're garbage but their support is
fantastic yeah if you to be clear their policies are garbage
like the fact that we had to contact their support to get more activations
for a game that is DRM through their
client the fact that we had to get more activations in order to change Hardware
configs on it is rubbish but the fact that they dealt with it really quickly
and were super nice about it and the guy was like oh sorry we're going to upgrade
the I could talk to someone you have yeah it was on the phone the
deluxe edition or whatever y said sorry for the trouble here's the digital
deluxe version they did write by us yeah
whereas Val after the phone call I was like all right that was actually kind it took a little while but a little while
was like an hour instead of like two or three weeks that's right which is a huge
difference because I was able to just put my phone on speaker and just do
whatever on my computer and wait until they like I'm okay waiting on hold as
long as someone's going to deal with it at some point here yeah and they were all super nice I there's two different
people that talked to on the phone they're both super the the first lady was like uh this is way above me I've
never even heard of activation issues before yeah I'm just going to move you
on immediately and then the dude after that was like oh yeah we don't usually
run into this but I don't know I can okay done so basically shame on you
valve for not caring and I've got people in twitch chat saying oh the BBB is crap
because they can't get companies to do stuff while companies like valve not
giving a crap about their BBB rating is
the only reason the BBB wouldn't be able to do something through them because
like basically that's what a BBB rating means it means that that company did
crap when the BBB contacted them because I worked at NC and NC has a good Better
Business Bureau rating because when a BBB complaint comes in it was like it
got escalated immediately that is how a
BBB complaint should be treated it shouldn't have to be public yeah in
order for it's something to get escalated and dealt with that's wrong
that's a completely wrong wrong Outlook
so yeah um all right let's move on to this uh this tech report article Scott
Lawson and those tech report mad
scientists those guys they were
determined for science to kill half a
dozen ssds so they had a Corsair Neutron
GTX an Intel 335 series a Samsung 840
series an 840 Pro and two Kingston hyperx 3K 240 gigs actually they're all
240 to 256 class drives and what they
did was they set them up on a test bench
to run uh over and over and over again
Anvil's just random data right 10 tbte
right thing so basically the idea was um
they were going to kind of go okay well you know hey these drives are rated at X
number of X number of terabytes according to the resiliency of The Flash
and well let's see how far they go so
let's um let's drop in on the on the finished graph here this is a really
cool article the coolest thing about this is that it
took um 18 months to wear out the ssds
literally writing to them constantly so
let's go ahead and uh I'm not sure if I'm actually looking at the right one
casualties on the way oh here we go I was looking at the original the original
article there so that showed all the ssds this one has a really great summary
they did such a good job of this and the point of this wasn't which one of these
SSD e to buy in fact many of these are
not even that great options by today's standards because they're it's from 18
months ago can you even buy all of them no no um the point of this and you guys
should definitely check it out on the tech report podcast uh later on if you
want to hear them really talk about all the analytics but the point of this was
are ssds reliable can we can we count on
them or should we treat them like uh some hard drive makers particularly at
the beginning when they were feeling very threatened by SSD we're treating
them like oh they have this like countdown timer it's like um crap what's
that status in Final Fantasy 6 where you have a timer on you and when it counts
down Doom gets cast condemned yeah condemned like the that was how we were
expected to look at ssds and in reality um maybe not so these are the
ones that failed first you can see the Intel
335 had no reallocated sectors up to
700 terabytes and the only reason that one failed was actually because Intel
Builds an countdown timer that says okay
we don't trust this flash anymore this is such an Intel thing to do like you're
Way Beyond what this drive was supposed to do we don't trust that like you're
beyond what we said it would do into what we think feasibly it can't do any
more than this or like at least not reliably like we think they can all get
here it's such an Intel thing to do it turns off it goes into readon mode so
you can pull all the data off it then it breaks itself so like that's cool I'm actually
okay with that to be honest I'm mostly okay with that because a lot of users
wouldn't know how to deal with reallocated sectors or or dis rers okay
so reallocated sectors and the failure of a like hard drivve spitting out for
the last time and SSD frying off are
very different so the first one uh was I
think what was it 100 yeah 100 at 100
terabytes started having to reallocate
sectors and this is a TLC TLC nand drive so that's the 840 but
didn't actually start to Output to Output errors until around 900 terabytes
okay the I think the first one did I was the int all right and the second one was
one of the hyperx 3ks it looks like uh
and that one made it to 800 tabt yeah um
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah at least the data was still if the
hyperx didn't respond after a reboot and Kingston said the drive won't boot if
its nand Reserve has been exhausted all right the next one was for the 840
series um the neutron GTX didn't
actually reallocate any sectors until Suddenly at 1.1 pte
it finally was like it spat out a bunch of errors and died and then there were
the two that lasted and these ones both
went past two pedabytes so the hyperx um
right here yeah Kingston hyperx 3K 240 gig so
they were able to compress a lot of the rights which actually helps with nand uh
I'm going to pause for one second a lot of people in the twitch chat don't
understand what the Intel thing did I recommend going actually reading the
website a lot of you are saying misinformation yeah a huge amount of
people in the twitch chat don't get it so yeah you guys do need to you do need
to understand that um check out the reports article so anyway the point is ssds are not as
fragile as we thought they were even TLC ssds are able to handle way more than we
thought they were able to and it's six is still a small sample size but every
single one of those six was able to last well beyond beond its expected life and
well beyond what any normal consumer would possibly be able to do to this
drive within its reasonable lifespan so I thought that was just a super cool
article from the tech report and I'm amazed I think it's so cool that they
stuck with it for 18 months yeah that's actually really cool I think that's just
awesome I'm happy there wasn't any like catastrophic issues that I actually have
an idea for a similar long-term test that I want to do had I talked to you
about this I don't think so I want to do um push uh or or um positive pressure
versus negative pressure versus even air flow in and out and dust filters and
then see after like a year or two years which one's actually the
dustiest real world man interesting
which I think would be pretty cool we could definitely do that in new office there would be space we need to sponsor
for like case and like fans and then we could just put some like old
motherboards in it or whatever like it wouldn't have to yeah be like even
working Hardware yeah want to see how dusty it gets y all right um what else
we got on the show today we don't have much time cuz we got to take off out of
here to uh to go film Channel Super Fun we're going to do drone racing in the
new Warehouse which is going to be awesome it's be interesting drones won't
last that long hopefully it uh hopefully it works well oh yeah I just saw that
too oh you guys need to see this we
finally have a new T-shirt design and I
think this might be the best one yet this was made by Jack sack the guy who
does a lot of the fan art based on the W show um and I I I really I I love this
design I absolutely love it so it what
what just happened responsive design man yes Teespring needs to use squar space
or something all right so this is the
like oh man how okay well there you can that works kind of see it better over
there there's there's the design are you hardcore do you stay up late this is the
shirt for you I should get this shirt and then do another 24-hour charity
stream absolutely absolutely uh so this
is over on uh teespring.com
SFP for uh apparently it's iie not the
site people are like people are like is
are we vulgar what do you mean vulgar how we there's a cat we're talking about
the cat on his head sleep sleeping cat why what were you thinking the cat is
asleep therefore and he's drinking he's drinking LT do y and uh yeah so I I love
this design I'm definitely getting a hoodie for this one I that's my that's
my thing is I just buy hoodies for all of them now really so yeah I'm going to have the hoodie collection I've got the
Highlander hoodie I've got the keep on digging hoodie and wish the high I'm
pretty cheesed that I didn't that was like yeah you fa we still have the art
asset for that right yeah might like ghetto make you could still you could still ghetto make one but mine will be
original so yeah I'll always be a little better my favorite when I wear it uh
t-shirt of ours it looks really good it does it looks really good I don't know
why I don't know why it is that wearing like Corsair Intel and ASUS logos feel
so good and like that shirt the design Highlander and the mountain and stuff it
looks sick we still got to figure out what we're going to do yeah we got to do
like some kind of like new world record attempt or something like that for this
year no idea what that's going to look like but U I still want to do
like like Link cable Pokemon battle
while sky
diving or something I don't know are you
high I don't know Lander oh you were at
one point this is potentially very cool news uh Media Tech to license AMD
Graphics
what it's almost like they want to be a snap dragon competitor AMD knows a thing
or two although you wouldn't know it from their Flagship desktop parts about
power efficiency and Graphics although you would know that they know a thing or
two about Graphics it's the power efficiency that I was kind of ribbing them about um AMD knows a thing or two
about Graphics mediat Tech's CPUs are getting a lot better than they used to
be interesting so it could be Qualcomm
plus Qualcomm CPU GPU Intel plus Intel
mediatech plus AMD that could make for
like think about this because remember mediat Tech's high-end is not
necessarily going to go Toe to Toe with int or qualcomm's highend we don't have
to but this could be a mid-range part that kicks butt and is a great value
that could be really cool I am super stoked to see uh what new developments
come out of this story right here yeah um also this apparently the original
that was posted by op code on the form oh I'm really sorry if there's people
who have been forgetting you want to go back do you want to go back and just
just do a round of that all right that'll take me a sec this one was
posted by CM 2546 and I'm going to run
through this while Luke compiles the names there um so originally Tom's
Hardware posted an article claiming to have an inside source at Microsoft saying that NVIDIA Nam the multi-GPU
configurations would be possible so um
blah blah blah was talking to a Microsoft rep will blah blah blah Etc
between NVIDIA and Intel I mean AMD sorry hello upon checking it will
support multi-GPU configurations between NVIDIA and AMD directx12 now since then
there have actually been articles written with this post from cm25 46 as
the source but I don't I don't know if
maybe that rep was just confirming that NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards would work
in the same system in much the same way that they already do today or if they
would actually be able to render part of
a frame and render another part of a frame and actually work together because I can assure you guys that if NVIDIA has
any say in it that will not work yeah
yeah yeah like to to actually use both
of them you can't even install NVIDIA drivers while you have uh CCC running
yeah I mean you can install it and then restart and CCC can run yeah you can
kill CCC and then install the NVIDIA driver and then yeah launch it again or
whatever but like but if a if NVIDIA can do anything to make that not work they
will that's and I'm pretty freaking sure they could I'm pretty sure that they can
there's that where is my twitch chat why am I in what is going on here I thought
I had uh learned a computer yeah there it is okay so um wait did I not I I
never posted the uh the Teespring campaign okay well I'll do that after in
the meantime there's a YouTube video uh that we did this was this was awesome I
like barely slept that week speaking of the sleep is for [ __ ] t-shirt um
YouTube video that um I did where I had
SLI and Crossfire running
at at the and is rumed to aure of direct
X2 but uh you could have them both in the same PC and you could switch between
them no problem I will be very surprised
if um if that's ever if that's ever could
easily do uh essentially always on DRM
where it checks for CCC more often than just on the installer yep yeah and I
mean you look at how hard NVIDIA has worked to block fizx from being used on
like even if you're willing to buy both and put them in the system they're like
nope jpeg yeah forget it bro so uh quick
like shout out round we've got Victoria Secret exilair op Code Zero mind red
round two joners aing big stuns Zer best
Zer you tried bro Zer is best XR YZ best
and CM 2546 okay um I guess oh the FC oh
this is cool uh end Gadget article I'm not going to talk about this for long
but um uh FCC released their 400 page
document so the whole Republican it's a
document nobody can see so I wish I could tell you about how horrible it is
but I can't well they released it after it was voted in or whatever didn't they
so it's still but it's not like we're not able to see it and it's not like
we're not able to get all mad yes if it's bad now yeah I mean yeah yeah so so
there's that did you post this already uh the FCC thing no all right I'm just
I'm blasting my way through the last few um no we don't the whole idea of rapid
fire is that we don't technically have to do all of them that was why we created oh no I'm just seeing if there's
any that I think are interesting there's a new Chromebook Pixel whatever the Star
Citizen client is rumored to be around 100 gigs cool which hopefully H is more
than just uncompressed Titanfall textures yeah um and I think that's
pretty much it thank for tuning into the W show no after party today cuz we have
to go race drones around in an empty Warehouse um and uh last week will be my
last week on W show for last yeah next
week will be my last week on W show for three weeks I and going to
Malaysia Singapore Thailand brunai and
Japan I'm gone for three weeks two weeks
of which is a family trip um we're going to see my wife's relatives who are are
scattered all over southeast Asia and then the last sort of 5 days of which is
going to be a trip to Japan to check out the Omron Factory so we're going to be
doing another factory tour which is extremely exciting we might have a w
show it might be two two only because
the third one would be when we're in Japan right we might try to do W I might
only I might only be gone two weeks then I really want to do W from Japan W from
Japan I really want to get that done okay it just sounds awesome we'll
try I heard they have good internet there so be from Japan all right just
thank you for tuning in all 7,000 of you we had an unbelievable show today it's
awesome especially because the time zone changes and everything people showed up I think it was that awesome guest I
think did you see the audience figures while John was on I did yes yeah he we
should have him more often I said this last time I was like we should bring him
on I was like we should bring him on right away it's been over a year wow that's actually pretty crazy
yeah we should get we should get him hooked up for the video collaboration we
got we got to do something although someone else I'm not going to say who
but someone else has already called dibs on the first celebrity guest so we are
already planning scrapyard Wars round two and we already have a celebrity
guest lined up who is going to be familiar to a lot of you guys and is
going to be a lot of fun so uh thanks for watching R show guys we will see you
again next week same bat Time same bat Channel see you oh right I never posted
the uh the shirt the sleepers for [ __ ] shirt oh my God the shirt you guys
should definitely go check out the shirt it's a Teespring campaign so it's only
available for a limited amount of time etc etc by now while quantities last
this a limited edition design it's fantastic or you'll never have it and
your friends will rub it in your face all day like the Highlander
hoodie oh I'm sad maybe I heart
got I've got people speculating that it'll be Jennifer
Lawrence Luke clone Tim
