1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,480 there you go that looks good again hey okay so uh 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:10,360 welcome to the WAN Show we have awesome 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:14,440 topics that we can hopefully talk about on a microphone that is functional this 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:18,800 week yeah uh two companies that start with V have been shut down which will be 5 00:00:16,279 --> 00:00:24,160 two separate topics one of them was Vine and the other one was vessel so if 6 00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:30,160 you're starting a company in 2016 maybe do not name it with a V at the beginning 7 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:32,320 see lonus Media Group perfect name for 8 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:36,040 naming scheme doesn't start with a V perfect name for a company there's 9 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:41,360 actually no V in the whole name npe which is probably what like really shows 10 00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:45,280 your craftsmanship craftmanship of that name after that there was also 11 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:49,199 announcements from two different companies that sound like they were 12 00:00:47,199 --> 00:00:54,879 announcements for products from the other company there was a laptop and an 13 00:00:51,399 --> 00:00:56,960 all-in-one PC announc from Microsoft and 14 00:00:54,879 --> 00:01:01,440 Apple and if you don't know like which one was from who yet somehow we'll just 15 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,160 leave the guessing game to you until later 16 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,400 intro 17 00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:31,920 space Gable m 18 00:01:32,119 --> 00:01:35,520 C cable 19 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:44,479 mod cable mod huh I'm actually listening to us 20 00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:46,520 like yell out the sponsor names Behind 21 00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:52,399 the Music right now cuz I'm actually I'm actually monitoring the stream which 22 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:55,640 with the delay on Twitch is actually got 23 00:01:52,399 --> 00:01:56,759 be a nightmare incredibly distracting um 24 00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:01,960 I thought you plugged into the computer I was like why are we delaying so much it makes so much more sense now no I'm 25 00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:06,920 listening to it here cuz I really really need to know if this cable was the 26 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:11,879 problem and if it turns out that this USB cable was the problem I will 27 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:17,160 personally destroy it on stream before the show is over so uh I had a micro USB 28 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:21,440 die in the car once and Emma was sitting beside me and I ripped it in half with 29 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:25,920 my hands cuz I was so mad that's pretty good was I was so pissed off they're 30 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:30,760 like made of metal and stuff I I wrapped one around each hand and then pulled it 31 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:35,400 apart I was very upet I can't remember what it did it like failed me in some 32 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:40,280 way I'm going to try it's really difficult this is like hard sleeved and 33 00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:43,920 stuff yeah I'm going to try anyway I wouldn't mine was like thin and terrible 34 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:48,040 I'm still going to try Okay I I don't mind I don't mind failing on camera it's 35 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:51,239 not a new thing for me is it still working it's oh yeah oh yeah it's still 36 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:57,040 working right now so it's probably the cable then so probably the cable I'm going to turn our mic down a little bit 37 00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:03,280 here cuz I just grabbed another microphone without actually like 38 00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:07,200 checking any of the settings whatsoever what is isn't this the same mic we you 39 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:11,120 just changed the cable not the mic this was a no wait this was a different mic 40 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:14,000 though yeah the when you were testing you put it over there so that's probably 41 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:21,280 why it's turned up a little higher than usual so we'll go we'll go ahead we'll do that yeah all right so why don't we 42 00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:23,280 jump right into our first topic here um 43 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:27,920 oh this is am I am I on the wrong am I on the wrong dock no oh no actually this 44 00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:32,000 is terrifying it's just yeah okay so the original article here is from The Verge 45 00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:40,159 oh speaking of terrifying I have not pluged in your my 46 00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:40,159 screen share yet 47 00:03:40,599 --> 00:03:48,159 today let's see if it works I'm excited 48 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,120 oh oh oh okay no no it's fine I I 49 00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:56,079 thought I thought we I thought it was shutting down oh 50 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:58,280 hey first time's a charm when a show 51 00:03:56,079 --> 00:04:00,840 something works always works all the time 52 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:09,400 is nice uh AT&T to buy HBO CNN and the rest 53 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:12,680 of Time Warner for more than 80 billion 54 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:16,560 so I've got a riddle for you okay what's 55 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:18,079 the only thing scarier than a 56 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:24,400 ginormous corporation that owns all the media that 57 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,400 you 58 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:32,919 consume an even more ginormous Corporation 59 00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:36,680 owns that owns the 60 00:04:32,919 --> 00:04:41,039 delivery media through which you receive 61 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:43,360 all the media you consume yeah yeah yeah 62 00:04:41,039 --> 00:04:51,120 this might be one of the only things on planet Earth 63 00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:54,080 that I and you and Hillary Clinton and 64 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:59,800 Donald Trump all agree all agree on yeah this is terrible yeah this should not 65 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:07,400 happen it's the worst I I love the uh I love the sub 66 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,400 headline that deal includes 67 00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:17,759 Batman okay thanks deal includes the one 68 00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:22,840 still somewhat relevant superhero for Warner oh for Warner okay yeah I was 69 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:26,800 like what no no no no there are many other ones they're just all Marvel yeah 70 00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:33,080 yeah um so h not a ton of we're not going to 71 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:38,680 go over a ton of details here but news of the merger first surfaced last Friday 72 00:05:36,280 --> 00:05:42,840 and um actually there are almost no notes on this whatsoever thank you 73 00:05:40,919 --> 00:05:50,479 Colton everything that I knew off the top of my head was more than what he had 74 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:53,120 actually put into the dock here but 75 00:05:50,479 --> 00:05:58,240 um yeah there there's one kind of funny thing where uh the US government 76 00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:04,520 summoned The Wrong Time Warner CEO to like talk about stuff they they 77 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:08,039 summoned uh Robert Marcus the former CEO 78 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:11,280 of Time Warner instead of uh Jeff bues 79 00:06:08,039 --> 00:06:13,479 who is the current CEO of Time 80 00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:17,880 Warner I can't imagine that that would be hard to figure out so I'm kind of 81 00:06:16,039 --> 00:06:22,240 surprised that that happened but either way you would think so this comes on the 82 00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:30,919 heels of of other isps also looking to expand 83 00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:33,039 their their digital media uh um 84 00:06:30,919 --> 00:06:38,520 Footprints and I guess that leads us pretty well into what will be one of our 85 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:41,680 biggest topics for today um even though 86 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:44,240 the list of people on Earth who care is 87 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:51,160 definitely less than the number of people who will watch this video um this 88 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:55,120 has a significant impact on us and to a 89 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:56,960 core group of our viewers yeah that are 90 00:06:55,120 --> 00:07:01,840 legitimately paying a monthly subscription fee to view our content 91 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:07,800 which is uh which is pretty pretty unbelievable to us and there are many 92 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:11,400 many more of them than you guys likely 93 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:15,919 realize so Verizon is buying Jason 94 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:19,879 kill's video startup vessel and promptly 95 00:07:15,919 --> 00:07:24,440 shutting it down so October 26th which 96 00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:27,080 was on Wednesday October 26th the news 97 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:30,680 broke we found about it at found found about it found out about it we found it 98 00:07:28,919 --> 00:07:36,919 thank you this is this is why I like having you here cuz like sometimes I 99 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:41,720 sense no make so um we found out about 100 00:07:36,919 --> 00:07:45,400 it on the 26th of October and the deal 101 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:49,639 is done not just not just done like 102 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:54,240 vessel.com is shutting down on October 103 00:07:49,639 --> 00:07:55,800 31st that one two three four five days 104 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,919 three of which are business days it's got to be one of the fastest shutdowns 105 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:04,680 after announcement like ever hold on a second hold on no no this is posted 106 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:08,159 October 26th at 5:30 p.m. so 107 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:09,440 like okay one wait no that's that's 108 00:08:08,159 --> 00:08:16,120 still right I still I still had the numbers right numbers right still I had 109 00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:18,879 Mak sense no yes excellent 110 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:24,039 um so I you try to do a sponsor spot like 111 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:27,319 that that would be terrible for everyone 112 00:08:24,039 --> 00:08:30,199 yeah yeah us sponsored 113 00:08:27,319 --> 00:08:34,479 viewers no one would win poor Nick he'd have he'd have like a 114 00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:40,640 brain tumor by um all right so vessel launched about 18 115 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:43,599 months ago um what else we got it it's 116 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:47,279 it's it was helpful for us yeah well here why don't I why don't I kind of 117 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:51,519 talk about pre-shutdown and then you can go through what's going to happen post 118 00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:59,560 shutdown so uh so pre-shutdown vessel launched with the promise of giving 119 00:08:54,839 --> 00:09:01,200 creators um kind of like 120 00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:07,800 how would what would I compare this to okay so giving creators a way to provide 121 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:13,760 some kind of benefit to what they called super fans so some kind of benefit that 122 00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:17,120 would drive super fans to pay a monthly 123 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:18,760 subscription for the content and support 124 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:26,079 effectively support the channels that they watch in a way that is much more 125 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:28,920 financially beneficial so more money per 126 00:09:26,079 --> 00:09:33,600 view than ad supported platforms like YouTube remember YouTube Red was not a 127 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:40,680 thing at the time so the idea was that with a three a five or a 7day 128 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:43,360 window viewers who paid three bucks a 129 00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:48,079 month for the entire vessel platform would get early access to all the 130 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:50,720 content on the platform and some things 131 00:09:48,079 --> 00:09:54,480 about this seemed like a pretty good idea to me at the time and I'll I'll run 132 00:09:52,760 --> 00:10:00,360 you through some of the reasons so number one is being able to monetize 133 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:02,760 views more than the fraction of a scent 134 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:08,079 that we get for a YouTube ad that was a big one number two the ability to pull 135 00:10:05,839 --> 00:10:14,839 some of the content and some of the uh some of the audience off YouTube where 136 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:18,560 we are riing on the Goodwill of Google 137 00:10:14,839 --> 00:10:20,640 for our continued existence was a huge 138 00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:25,200 one for us like actually really sketchy massive because it was I had already 139 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:29,200 dismissed joining vessel I was done I wasn't going to look into it and then 140 00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:34,360 Google pulled a thing where they were like like okay we are going to crack 141 00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:36,480 down on creators having native 142 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:41,920 advertising that they bake into their videos and like it's going to get real 143 00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:45,800 and if they want to have native adver if they want to show a brand logo in their 144 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:50,720 video that brand is going to have to go through Google to buy out all of the 145 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:56,279 different ad units on that video which logistically how does that even like for 146 00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:58,839 how long like didn't even make any sense 147 00:10:56,279 --> 00:11:06,399 and so we were like holy crap we need something 148 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:07,680 so vessel also offered us that um and 149 00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:14,639 for the first the other thing they offered was one free year to our viewers 150 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:18,120 yeah uh which was which I thought was pretty cool because the way that I 151 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:23,120 looked at it this was a Silicon Valley startup and I'm not going to say that I 152 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:26,480 I saw the platform failing coming uh at the started actually like I was like on 153 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:32,880 board I was like ready to ready to do this thing um but it's a Silicon Valley 154 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:36,560 startup that signing a oneyear contract 155 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:40,040 with us um or sorry it was uh it was an 156 00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:42,760 18 month contract 18-month contract I 157 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:46,920 think with the potential to renew for another 18 months as long as no parties 158 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:51,279 wanted out so it was like a three-year contract with an 18-month out the first 159 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:55,160 year of which would be free for all of our users yeah so I kind of looked at M 160 00:11:54,440 --> 00:12:02,120 I mean and we were allowed doing simultaneous content when it came to 161 00:11:58,959 --> 00:12:04,000 like show content or timely content like 162 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:07,880 WAN Show and stuff like that so we didn't think it would hurt anyone so we 163 00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:14,399 worked out a deal where you know and we were at that time also looking at ways 164 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:16,480 to make ourselves less reliant on the 165 00:12:14,399 --> 00:12:19,800 pace at which new technology was being released so that was right around the 166 00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:26,720 time that we were developing Concepts like scrapyard Wars um Concepts like uh 167 00:12:23,959 --> 00:12:34,480 moving Vlog Concepts like Concepts that did not rely on razor or apple or 168 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:38,079 Microsoft to deliver us some new shiny thing that would drive people's interest 169 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:43,760 in our videos trying to make it more personality driven more uh project 170 00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:45,120 driven you know compensator to is right 171 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:50,839 over there and it's going to be a great video and did not rely on any single 172 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:55,839 Hardware to be released so that we could like go viral by dunking it in water for 173 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:59,680 an hour or whatever the case may be so all of these things kind of aligned for 174 00:12:57,519 --> 00:13:07,720 us and we went oh yeah not to mentioned that wait am I allowed to say that okay 175 00:13:03,399 --> 00:13:11,720 so what I don't know can you hint no so 176 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:14,320 okay long story short through vessel we 177 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:18,880 were able to make a lot more money per video than we were without it and right 178 00:13:16,519 --> 00:13:24,760 this was the other thing I had just signed the deal on the warehouse that we 179 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:28,519 are sitting in today I had just signed 180 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,839 the deal the mortgage deal on it and 181 00:13:28,519 --> 00:13:36,040 YouTube came out with their thing that was going to significantly affect our ability to 182 00:13:34,079 --> 00:13:40,639 monetize our videos this a very scary time and vessel offered us the 183 00:13:38,279 --> 00:13:48,320 opportunity to better monetize our videos right at that moment so I had 184 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:51,720 like a down payment to make on I had a tenant Improvement to do I had to build 185 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:55,639 an office inside this building I don't know how much you guys know about like 186 00:13:53,519 --> 00:14:00,480 leasing renting or buying commercial space but like you're lucky if it's an 187 00:13:58,399 --> 00:14:03,639 empty box because then you save the money that it would cost to rip out 188 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:07,680 whatever stupid thing the previous person put in and get it hauled away to 189 00:14:06,079 --> 00:14:15,320 the landfill so um so there you go 190 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:17,839 and so now in terms of what happens to 191 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:21,959 people who are already subscribers uh you will be provided complimentary 192 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:28,480 access through the month of October also known as like a few days bucks yeah you 193 00:14:25,959 --> 00:14:32,279 were given a refund till the beginning of October 194 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:37,519 so if you bought an annual sub so you will have hopefully get given money 195 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:41,399 thing yeah if if you were subscribed through iTunes which I didn't even know 196 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:45,320 was possible but sure yeah if you were subscribed through iTunes you need to 197 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:49,399 contact Apple customer support for a refund well that's what you get for 198 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:53,240 subscribing through iTunes yeah um and you will apparently be receiving an 199 00:14:51,079 --> 00:14:58,639 email with instructions and yada y y so if you're a vessel subscriber check your 200 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:02,360 email yeah that's basically it got people ask asking what does this mean 201 00:14:59,959 --> 00:15:11,600 for nerd Sports great question I don't think we 202 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:15,120 know yeah so um we have a call with 203 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:17,680 go90 next week uh which is a subsidiary 204 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:24,759 of Verizon also an online streaming platform not an early access platform 205 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:29,759 and my understanding is 206 00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:33,319 that if Verizon owns vessel 207 00:15:29,759 --> 00:15:36,759 but did not keep the content creator 208 00:15:33,319 --> 00:15:40,639 contracts like ours to produce Early 209 00:15:36,759 --> 00:15:43,399 Access content in place but did keep the 210 00:15:40,639 --> 00:15:46,959 employee contract presumably to move on to another project because vessel.com is 211 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:52,880 going away then content creator contracts that are 212 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:56,319 not the standard ones like the exclusive 213 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:59,759 content ones seem to be in kind of a 214 00:15:56,319 --> 00:16:01,560 gray Zone yeah so we will have to find 215 00:15:59,759 --> 00:16:08,160 out not really sure how that works what is going on with that yeah I some people are 216 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:13,480 asking what is going to happen in the future for like viewers that weren't on 217 00:16:10,279 --> 00:16:16,399 vessel honestly uh probably nothing 218 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:19,959 noticeable no so I'll tell you this much we are not planning to take our seven 219 00:16:18,279 --> 00:16:26,360 days of buffered content and dump it onto YouTube in one day this would be an 220 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:27,600 enormous disservice to me Luke and all 221 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:31,160 the other people who work on those videos because how however many of you 222 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:36,319 go yeah that would be great I'm going to binge watch the crap out of that the 223 00:16:33,839 --> 00:16:42,759 cold hard truth is that due to the way the YouTube algorithm works if we step 224 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:46,519 on our own video releases with Rapidfire 225 00:16:42,759 --> 00:16:50,160 video releases it significantly 226 00:16:46,519 --> 00:16:52,880 decreases the um the propagation of 227 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:58,360 those videos in people's subboxes suggested videos suggested channels and 228 00:16:55,279 --> 00:17:00,319 all that stuff so we would basically be 229 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:04,039 sign ific and like I'm talking like we could get half as many a third as many a 230 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:09,079 quarter as many views on those videos we would be significantly damaging the 231 00:17:07,079 --> 00:17:12,199 impact of those videos by just dumping them all on YouTube at a time and having 232 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:16,919 a buffer is really helpful for us anyways because that could afford us 233 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:21,520 more time to work on really super cool stuff like can I reveal a thing behind 234 00:17:18,360 --> 00:17:23,280 me yeah yeah like this thing which you 235 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:27,760 can't actually really see that well yeah that is a desk PC part two so that's it 236 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:33,000 that's its current state yeah and that kind of stuff can take a little bit and 237 00:17:29,679 --> 00:17:34,880 being just stand it's fine Ed's like 238 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,440 crawling on the floor and he's not even he didn't even go in frame he didn't 239 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:42,840 even go in the frame uh yeah so I don't know that kind 240 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:49,400 of stuff can be awesome so um so yeah I guess should we 241 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:53,320 take Twitter Blitz questions we've got um we've got no I'm I'm I'm following it 242 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:58,120 in twitch chat yeah we've got uh we've got other people in twitch chat asking 243 00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:04,559 uh if there's any possibility that we would look into to creating our own 244 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:07,840 Early Access platform and I won't say 245 00:18:04,559 --> 00:18:10,240 no I I think there's I think even with a 246 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:14,840 fairly rudimentary system maybe through our Forum or something like that I think 247 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:20,159 there are tangible benefits that we could offer people um for like a month 248 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:23,960 some kind of a monthly fee and we haven't really talked about how much it 249 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:28,960 would be I was wondering if you're going to give examples of the tangible benefits or not I'm not sure if we 250 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:33,400 should I don't I don't I don't know um okay so on vessel right now probably or 251 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:37,360 maybe shortly after wow there's a video where I talk about these things so I 252 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,840 guess I might as well just uh it's it's just like me sitting at my desk that's 253 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:43,840 what I was recording when you came upstairs oh yeah so are you just putting 254 00:18:42,039 --> 00:18:47,919 it on vessel yeah it's only going on vessel that's cool so basically what 255 00:18:45,919 --> 00:18:51,919 we're what we're asking people to do patreon no I don't think that's the no I 256 00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:58,880 don't think patreon's the answer because patreon we've talked to them before 257 00:18:54,600 --> 00:19:00,840 about building like an API or working 258 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:05,679 with the apis that exist for other platforms to more tightly integrate so 259 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:11,000 if someone was a patron we could offer them a coupon code on Teespring or 260 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:16,240 something and they have expressed zero interest in which seems 261 00:19:13,919 --> 00:19:20,840 insane developing those kinds of relationships and those kinds of 262 00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:27,799 benefits um which to me is very frustrating because right 263 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:30,600 now patreon is basically a money 264 00:19:27,799 --> 00:19:37,240 collection platform and not much more yeah in my mind yeah because everything 265 00:19:34,159 --> 00:19:40,440 that the Creator does as a benefit to 266 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:42,559 their patrons has to be manually done 267 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:46,360 like yes you can you can upload a small video or photo or a post but other than 268 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:50,520 that but if you wanted to do like a merch reward or a coupon we're not huge 269 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:54,960 fans of exclusive like actually constantly 270 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:59,240 exclusive stuff we like share if we're going to make something we generally 271 00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:02,520 like sharing it with everybody and and and even if you were to do like 272 00:20:00,919 --> 00:20:08,080 stuff that you can't do for everyone like if you wanted to do at a certain 273 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:10,520 tier like a signed thing patreon doesn't 274 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:14,360 have like a a fulfillment center partner yeah that we could just fill an entire 275 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:20,360 box full of signed shirts with and send it to them like they don't really 276 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:23,200 facilitate your ability to uh to to 277 00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:27,640 actually execute these rewards and it's an inherent problem with the platform 278 00:20:25,039 --> 00:20:34,799 because most of the creators on it are small Time creators 279 00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:38,919 For Whom the burden of signing 200 hats 280 00:20:34,799 --> 00:20:40,919 and then packing them addressing them 281 00:20:38,919 --> 00:20:46,240 remember international shipping is a [ __ ] okay actually shipping them paying 282 00:20:44,799 --> 00:20:52,640 for all that like it's it's overwhelming it hurts 283 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:54,280 their ability to create content which is 284 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:58,280 one of the main reasons that lonus Tech tips does not have a patreon it's 285 00:20:57,039 --> 00:21:04,120 something that we tried for Channel Super Fun and that in my mind has 286 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:06,400 largely Fallen flat um given 287 00:21:04,120 --> 00:21:10,400 that like if patreon had the infrastructure so that you could more 288 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:15,400 easily provide meaningful rewards like something like a free vessel membership 289 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:18,720 at a certain Patron level that would have been really cool one thing that I 290 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:22,880 really liked was the Teespring discount idea yeah I actually loved that idea it 291 00:21:21,279 --> 00:21:26,080 made made tons of sense because if if you're going to contribute to a patreon 292 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:30,039 y in my opinion one of my favorite things to buy is like a shirt yep or 293 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:35,120 like one thing that I've been interested in is like the cgp G gray sweater true 294 00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:40,799 because cgp gray is great and his sweater looks cool and I was like maybe 295 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:44,919 and I might I'm not sure but like that I like that kind of stuff CU I like being 296 00:21:42,039 --> 00:21:49,159 able to show support I mean all the women in the audience have wet panties 297 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:54,279 over your commitment level right now yeah my bad I'm I'm thinking about it I 298 00:21:51,799 --> 00:21:59,440 just I own like literally 15 sweaters and I really really don't need any more 299 00:21:56,679 --> 00:22:02,120 I just love sweaters anyways um I like the one you're wearing right now thank 300 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:06,039 you yeah I actually do like this one I've been wearing in videos more U CU 301 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:09,000 it's becoming winter time slowly anyways but I'm also wearing shorts so I don't 302 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:15,679 know what's up with that I don't know what who you are but yeah being able to give something like that would be cool 303 00:22:13,159 --> 00:22:19,039 and like like we actually genuinely tried really hard to get the whole 304 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:22,559 vessel subscription thing going yeah and like doing doing things and the other 305 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:27,520 thing too is doing things that are part of a workflow yeah um where you could do 306 00:22:25,159 --> 00:22:30,679 an like an exception thing like a signed hat once in a 307 00:22:29,279 --> 00:22:34,240 but if you have things that are automatic like if I just create my 308 00:22:32,919 --> 00:22:38,520 videos and I upload them here and then a few days later I upload them there and just automatically my patrons get this 309 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:44,039 stuff early things that happen automatically help smalltime creators MH 310 00:22:41,919 --> 00:22:47,760 um so they they didn't really get any of that done and I think you know I think 311 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:51,480 if vessel had managed to figure out Partnerships like that or if they had 312 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:56,200 managed to figure out how to get their creators really on board with what they 313 00:22:53,960 --> 00:23:01,840 were doing um maybe they would have had success 314 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:03,400 they had a lot of big Creator Partners 315 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:08,480 yeah but it didn't seem like they had a lot of big Creator follow through and 316 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:14,640 yeah there I think that's perfect I think a lot of the big creators saw the 317 00:23:11,039 --> 00:23:16,600 immediate knee-jerk reaction of viewers 318 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,640 not liking have the idea of having to pay for something that they used to get 319 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:23,840 for free and went whoa whoa I'm not touching that with a 10-ft pole yeah 320 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:28,159 when the reality of it is viewers are now paying for something early that 321 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:32,679 everyone can still get for free and I think most of our audience eventually 322 00:23:30,120 --> 00:23:39,360 did understand that like it it didn't didn't change almost anything you still 323 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:42,880 got like embargo date reviews exactly when they were supposed to go up you 324 00:23:41,159 --> 00:23:48,320 still got a video a day like nothing ever actually changed on YouTube platform there's stuff that people think 325 00:23:46,279 --> 00:23:51,360 is due to the vessel exclusivity period like the fact that we tweet about 326 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:56,240 projects that don't get released for a month but the reality of it was is that 327 00:23:54,039 --> 00:23:59,320 you were going to complain if I tweeted about it and then it didn't come out for 328 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:03,720 three weeks the same as you were going to complain as if it's four weeks like 329 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:08,840 we just we do work a fair bit ahead we have a onewe buffer in addition to the 330 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:12,559 vessel onee buffer yeah for where we expect to be at for filming videos 331 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:17,640 there's projects that I will finish and I don't see go up on vessel for like a 332 00:24:16,039 --> 00:24:21,440 while later because they'll just get pushed back if they're not timely if 333 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:24,760 they were a review of something like the like I think it was the Nintendo 334 00:24:22,679 --> 00:24:27,799 controllers yep I did that review that's not timely those have existed for a 335 00:24:26,559 --> 00:24:31,880 while that doesn't need to come out at any specific point in time y so I think 336 00:24:30,279 --> 00:24:35,480 those kind of sat around we Shuffle the schedule a lot yeah so we'll prioritize 337 00:24:34,159 --> 00:24:39,720 new stuff coming in that's more important yeah we do it all the time 338 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:47,159 andt and sometimes things just take a long time so the water cooled 339 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:50,600 PlayStation 4 my first email to um to uh 340 00:24:47,159 --> 00:24:54,039 debrand sorry my first email to 341 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:57,039 debrand saying yo this is like a dope AF 342 00:24:54,039 --> 00:24:59,240 idea you want to sponsor it was on 343 00:24:57,039 --> 00:25:07,039 January 25th of 2015 or 2016 rather yeah 10 months no 344 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:12,559 nine months whatever that works out to many months before the release of the 345 00:25:09,559 --> 00:25:14,360 video so like I'm sorry for that but 346 00:25:12,559 --> 00:25:17,320 some of the projects we do are larger longer term projects and it just does 347 00:25:15,679 --> 00:25:20,600 take some time and some of them like like I I'm I'm currently I've had a lot 348 00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:24,120 of questions about this lately because and like I looked at my last personal 349 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:28,559 rig update and looked at the comments and there's a comment on there from like 350 00:25:25,559 --> 00:25:31,799 two weeks ago being like so where's part 351 00:25:28,559 --> 00:25:34,919 three it's been like so many months like 352 00:25:31,799 --> 00:25:36,679 over a year I was like uh yeah it's very 353 00:25:34,919 --> 00:25:41,320 close I have all the computer hardware parts but in part two I just did like a 354 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:46,200 theory crafting thing where I like showed people what I was thinking of doing and everyone hated that for very 355 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:50,520 good reasons cuz nothing actually like really happened in the video so this 356 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:55,039 time many of those theories at this point anyway they're like gone yeah that 357 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:59,559 test bench is literally in the garbage can right 358 00:25:56,360 --> 00:26:02,480 now I'm not kidding it's being taken out 359 00:25:59,559 --> 00:26:07,120 like next week I don't want it anymore it's gone it's going to be gone I guess 360 00:26:05,360 --> 00:26:10,320 um so but I have all the new computer hardware including the case and 361 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:15,039 everything everything's ready to go what I'm waiting on

should squarespace.com 365 00:26:24,360 --> 00:26:32,279 Squarespace is the place to go if you want to build yourself a sick dopf Sleek 366 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:38,880 website that looks great on any device whether it's a laptop a cell phone or a 367 00:26:35,399 --> 00:26:40,399 big ginormous projector screen I don't 368 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:46,159 know that too many people I don't know that there are too many people who browse the web on a projector screen but 369 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:50,919 I feel like I wouldn't be doing my due diligence if I didn't find out just how 370 00:26:48,360 --> 00:26:55,480 much of our audience browses the web on a projector screen how many of them 371 00:26:52,760 --> 00:27:02,760 browse it on a turnip browse web on projector yes no and uh oh what do I do 372 00:27:01,279 --> 00:27:06,440 uh you can just do crate poll it's actually fine okay cool so you guys you 373 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:11,679 got to you got to hit us you got to hit

via live 376 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:25,760 chat and email it's only 12 bucks a month to start and you get a free domain 377 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:30,880 if you buy Squarespace for the year and they've got lots of great features that 378 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:33,960 take building a website and make it so 379 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:36,720 that normal people can do it and this is 380 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:41,600 awesome so my dad has been here helping me with desk PC and they're involved in 381 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:46,120 this like Construction Company project they're like shareholders or something 382 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:51,320 anyway so the guy who runs the company 383 00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:54,919 is taking advice from a bad it guy okay 384 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:57,240 so my dad convinced the guy running it 385 00:27:54,919 --> 00:28:03,360 that they should be in charge of like the outward marketing okay so the 386 00:28:00,360 --> 00:28:06,559 website is kind of under my dad which 387 00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:08,360 like my dad's not not an expert by any 388 00:28:06,559 --> 00:28:15,559 stretch of the imagination when it comes to like CSS freaking no okay so the 389 00:28:13,679 --> 00:28:20,279 woodworking looks great so other than your with that said my yeah my my dad 390 00:28:18,679 --> 00:28:23,960 would have no trouble with it if it was a Squarespace site for sure like he 391 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:30,200 could handle that no problem my mom made a beautiful website I was the salty it 392 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:33,279 guy that has the ear of the owner is 393 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:36,159 like real men have scratch coded 394 00:28:33,279 --> 00:28:40,880 websites so basically he's one of those it guys that creates work to keep 395 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:45,760 himself important you know what I'm talking about oh like okay okay I can 396 00:28:43,679 --> 00:28:49,559 understand Squarespace is a wonderful platform but they don't claim to be a 397 00:28:47,519 --> 00:28:52,440 wonderful platform for everything they're a wonderful platform for most 398 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:58,200 things why don't I explain what the website needs to do okay it's a simple 399 00:28:55,240 --> 00:29:02,200 company website who are we what do we do here are some sample floor plans and 400 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:05,279 some pictures of some homes and here's how you get in touch with us okay so he 401 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:09,919 either should have been done that website in like an hour or two or should 402 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:15,000 probably just use Squarespace just like so so so so yeah 403 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:20,960 one of the great things about Squarespace is that if you don't have a dedicated it guy to go in and update 404 00:29:18,799 --> 00:29:24,799 your website for the ever evolving web standards or new browsers or whatever 405 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:29,960 else the case may be Squarespace deals with all that crap for you our Linus 406 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:33,320 Medi group.com webite has sort of this is sort of embarrassing speaking of 407 00:29:31,799 --> 00:29:36,880 issues with updating we should be putting some of the new employees on it 408 00:29:34,799 --> 00:29:40,559 and stuff but like basically hasn't been touched since we put it up and it still 409 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:46,200 works exactly the way it did when we first did so when you decide to sign up 410 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:50,279 for Squarespace which my dad should make 411 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:54,480 sure to use offer code when to save 412 00:29:50,279 --> 00:29:58,240 10% mine still says AKA slick PC if 413 00:29:54,480 --> 00:30:00,720 anyone mine still says CEO 414 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:06,600 Wait no that's right sometimes I'm not sure I thought janitor was more accurate 415 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:09,480 yeah um we have John we have Dennis we 416 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:16,039 do not have we do not have the latest three additions to 417 00:30:11,279 --> 00:30:17,799 our wait four 418 00:30:16,039 --> 00:30:21,799 four one two wait is my wife even on there is 419 00:30:20,559 --> 00:30:24,799 he van

there there there 422 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:42,480 and there right yeah oh yeah fresh books 423 00:30:40,679 --> 00:30:48,360 so fresh books is the easy to use invoicing software that helps small 424 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:50,320 businesses use the time that they save 425 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:56,120 not dinking around in complicated accounting software to update their 426 00:30:53,000 -->

00:32:21,639 --> 00:32:29,320 make sure you type when in the how did You Hear About Us section for our last 448 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:32,080 featured spot we've got k C Mod 449 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:36,320 apparently cable mod wasn't disappointed in our last featured spot on the W show 450 00:32:34,519 --> 00:32:41,960 and they have decided to show off some of their dank AF cables again so cable 451 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:47,919 mod you may know them as the guys that offer custom individually sleeved uh 452 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:51,960 like like cloth style so you can't even see the colors of the wires at all 453 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:56,480 cabling for PCs but they also have a bunch of other 454 00:32:54,320 --> 00:33:00,880 stuff these days so they are one of the leading guys when it com comes to RGB 455 00:32:58,799 --> 00:33:05,919 lighting strips they've got adhesive backed ones they've got magnetic backed 456 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:07,760 ones which are superior by the way as 457 00:33:05,919 --> 00:33:11,840 long as you have a case with any Steel in it even if you don't I think you'd 458 00:33:10,159 --> 00:33:18,960 probably be better off taking little metal stickers and like like permanently 459 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:22,679 gluing those cuz the problem with the uh with sticking adhesive to the material 460 00:33:21,279 --> 00:33:28,559 that lighting strips are made out of is that it it doesn't stick very well yes in heat so if you just like put metal on 461 00:33:27,159 --> 00:33:34,039 and stuck them the magnetic ones are awesome it's nice they're just I don't 462 00:33:30,279 --> 00:33:36,000 know they've got RGB they've got rgbw so 463 00:33:34,039 --> 00:33:39,880 they have actual white LEDs on the Strip so you don't get that weird rainbow 464 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:44,440 effect they've got RGB UV so you can have UV as well as RGB lighting um but 465 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:51,000 they've got a new product and that is their

right Vine Vine is gone also 478 00:34:38,079 --> 00:34:46,520 shut down also shut down Bo so Twitter 479 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:48,040 has decided that they now agree with me 480 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:53,480 why did we create a video sharing platform for 6 481 00:34:51,599 --> 00:35:00,440 second videos when we already had Twitter they they they bought it like 482 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:03,839 just before it was launched so more or 483 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:06,079 less yes but I I don't I've never I've 484 00:35:03,839 --> 00:35:09,280 never understood or liked Vine I've always had tons of problems because for 485 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:13,240 some reason the videos just wouldn't play most of the time I never wanted to 486 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:16,119 have the app because like I don't care so I'd try to load the videos in like a 487 00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:21,240 browser which was supported and then they'd air out and they just I just why 488 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:25,560 why does it need to be 6 seconds I don't understand and I'm I'm just happy it's 489 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:28,839 gone screw it I don't care so you'll still be able to access and download 490 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:33,000 your Vines the website will continue to be online uh creators will be notified 491 00:35:31,359 --> 00:35:38,320 before the company makes any additional changes to the website or app but um yep 492 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:44,119 that is that is pretty much it you know what on the subject of you saying that 493 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:50,720 you didn't want to install the app do you think that part of this is due to 494 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:55,760 and okay I I am going to I'm going to make something up because it's 495 00:35:53,359 --> 00:35:58,960 possible that someone out there has talked about this or even used the same 496 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:02,599 terminology that I'm about to use but I I haven't looked into it at all but do 497 00:36:01,119 --> 00:36:06,800 you think that it's due to something that I'm going to call app 498 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:12,599 fatigue okay like it used to be in the early 499 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:17,480 days of the iPhone you get excited to just like download everything yes yeah 500 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:21,839 it was like it was like holy crap there's an accelerometer I want like a 501 00:36:19,119 --> 00:36:27,760 compass app or like oh now I can use my phone as like a level like like there 502 00:36:24,319 --> 00:36:29,319 was there was an app for for every 503 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:36,560 stupid thing and your phone was just like like I remember my first iPhone my 504 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:38,680 iPhone 4 I had like pages and pages of 505 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:43,760 apps that sounds like a product what does my first iPhone my first iPhone I 506 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:50,880 don't know why it just does whereas now every phone gets exactly the same 507 00:36:47,839 --> 00:36:52,960 load up load out of one home screen 508 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:59,160 worth of stuff so that everything is close together and organized I've always 509 00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:03,720 been very stream on that I can only have one page of icons thing and I usually 510 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:09,760 don't even like it being my home screen cuz I like my home screen just being clean I just have it off to the side and 511 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:12,839 it's only one page so for me a big part 512 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:15,520 of it comes from especially on Android 513 00:37:12,839 --> 00:37:20,680 especially on Android random apps crushing your B battery life yeah and 514 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,880 not even like due to the all the amazing 515 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:27,640 cool stuff they're doing in the background just due to shoddy coding 516 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:33,000 practices and Google's complete in ability to prevent developers from 517 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:37,720 sucking up all the power of your device and especially prevent them from 518 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:40,680 reporting that they are or not prevent them but not require them to report that 519 00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:47,359 they're sucking the power do you know how many times I've like had my an 520 00:37:43,240 --> 00:37:50,280 Android phone just like be hot in my 521 00:37:47,359 --> 00:37:54,119 pocket hot in my pocket pull it out I've lost 30% battery in the last few hours 522 00:37:52,839 --> 00:38:00,560 I'm looking at it going I go into battery and it's like Android system 523 00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:03,000 Android OS having consumed everything 524 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:07,720 and like the screen's like 2% like I've hardly touched my phone that day drives 525 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:15,119 me freaking crazy so do you think that part of the motivation for this is 526 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:16,599 Twitter's question of do we need what is 527 00:38:15,119 --> 00:38:26,400 already a weaker brand to distribute social media crap do 528 00:38:21,599 --> 00:38:29,160 we need to try to get past the friction 529 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:34,079 that users have with installing more app more freaking apps on their 530 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:36,560 phones and finally there was another 531 00:38:34,079 --> 00:38:41,680 reason one interesting thing is that almost no one even downloads any 532 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:47,280 apps if you look at like overall actual statistics in terms of smartphone usage 533 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:50,400 yeah the the majority of people don't download any apps I've got a straw poll 534 00:38:49,359 --> 00:38:55,800 for you guys though in the meantime while he keeps talking um it's going to 535 00:38:52,720 --> 00:38:57,520 be are you app fatigued I want to hear 536 00:38:55,800 --> 00:39:00,440 from you guys and then getting up to I've been doing I've been doing way too 537 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:03,880 much research cuz I'm currently working on my review for the pixel I know the 538 00:39:02,599 --> 00:39:08,920 back doesn't look normal it's cuz I have a skin on it um and yeah the majority of 539 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:12,119 people that have smartphones don't download any apps you have to realize 540 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:18,240 that this is the majority of people and now the majority of people have smartphones right so like this is this 541 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:23,839 is everyone this isn't just you guys I'm sure the majority of people watching the 542 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:25,560 show download plenty apps um but like we 543 00:39:23,839 --> 00:39:30,359 are probably not even necessarily getting fatigued but we're probably 544 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:34,200 getting to a a point where we don't want anym we're down to download apps we just 545 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:37,920 want to download the ones that we know that's a type of fatigue I would argue I 546 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:42,319 would argue that's new experience fatigue kind of deal cuz I don't want 547 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:45,520 any new apps I no I just want the apps that I have to work the way that I 548 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:49,880 expect them to and I'm down for them to gain functionality yep and every once in 549 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:53,200 a while I'll throw something unusual on like oh I need to do a screen recording 550 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:57,680 or something I'll grab as screen recorder but I'll I'll like delete yeah 551 00:39:55,720 --> 00:40:01,800 I'll clean it up afterwards exactly like like when Periscope came out I loved the 552 00:39:59,920 --> 00:40:06,440 idea so I downloaded the app but I didn't really want to and I never really 553 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:10,560 used it cuz I was like eh I'd love to see Periscope go next well it's it's 554 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:14,720 integrated now yeah if you Periscope stream it like does it through Twitter 555 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:19,079 anyways I know but I'd love to see the Periscope app just go away no completely 556 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:21,880 because it's unnecessary that's what I'm talking about I'm down with Twitter 557 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:25,359 gaining functionality I don't want to download a new app for the same freaking 558 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:29,640 thing so this is something this is another thing that drives me crazy and this was the other point that I made 559 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:36,200 when I was wondering about the motivation and why dilute a brand yeah 560 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:44,040 you see this over and over and over again do I I I I think with cars I kind 561 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:45,319 of get it because an automobile purchase 562 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:51,400 you're trying to section things out a little bit is is such a a large purchase 563 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:57,000 and the the emotion the way you appeal emotionally to a car buyer is very 564 00:40:54,920 --> 00:41:03,400 different from the way that you appeal to oh I don't know someone who's buying 565 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:06,040 in my mind like a wireless access point 566 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:10,599 um that's a very specific reference and the thing about and the thing about car 567 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:16,960 brands is that whether we're talking Toyota or Lexus they don't they don't 568 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:20,920 seem to okay so so for the most part For Better or For Worse going back to your 569 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:28,640 Acura with that horrible airbag recall yeah the actual quality of a Honda 570 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:30,160 engine is pretty much regard Ed as equal 571 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:35,560 whether you're buying an Acura or a Honda and the same goes for a Toyota 572 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:39,000 like they don't differentiate based on 573 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:41,319 the the the core functionality a Tob 574 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:43,839 don't break down they seem to be trying to deliver a pretty consistent 575 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:49,640 experience regardless of whether we're talking about one of they more premium or a sub brand the one that drives me 576 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:55,599 crazy is the brands that try to differentiate on quality by having like 577 00:41:52,720 --> 00:42:00,200 a main brand like a known brand and then like a sub brand so perfect example of 578 00:41:58,079 --> 00:42:08,599 this back to wireless access points is Ruckus if you know Enterprise Wi-Fi you 579 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:10,480 know Ruckus Ruckus is like bomb it's 580 00:42:08,599 --> 00:42:14,880 probably what you're using if you have good Wi-Fi reception in an airport or 581 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:19,319 something and then they introduced like a lower-end brand aimed at small 582 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:25,720 businesses called xclaim I opened up the access point and 583 00:42:22,319 --> 00:42:28,040 it is a Ruckus access point with like 584 00:42:25,720 --> 00:42:31,400 one small difference like PCB is the same most of the internal components are 585 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:35,040 the same it's basically a firmware difference and I'm kind of looking at it 586 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:39,280 going why not just have a lower Why Try to build a brand from scratch from 587 00:42:37,079 --> 00:42:43,359 nothing why not just have a lower line like a 100 588 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:46,319 series and still use the same brand because you're clearly not 589 00:42:44,240 --> 00:42:51,000 differentiating on quality even if you're trying to have like a perceived 590 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:54,240 difference because it's the same product why do 591 00:42:52,119 --> 00:42:58,559 this any other examples I I I know you're going to be able to answer this 592 00:42:55,480 --> 00:43:00,240 but flute 16 says why I Brands LOL but 593 00:42:58,559 --> 00:43:06,359 you have three YouTube channels clearly different that is that 594 00:43:03,720 --> 00:43:11,880 is more to do with YouTube than it is to do with us if I could have one channel 595 00:43:09,839 --> 00:43:18,000 called lonus Media Group that people could subscribe to in one click or I 596 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:21,200 could have three shows called Linus Tech 597 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:22,839 tips Techquickie and Channel Super Fun 598 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:26,760 that people could individually subscribe to that would be perfect yeah but 599 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:32,440 YouTube wasn't designed for that we don't own the distribution yes of the 600 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:34,800 videos therefore we need to we got to 601 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:38,960 play the game try to control how we can distribute them as much as we possibly 602 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:42,240 can and the best way for us to do that is to co-integrate as much as we can if 603 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:45,839 we if you go to the Linus techtips Channel and you scroll down a little bit 604 00:43:44,079 --> 00:43:50,720 Techquickie is right there right there you can watch the videos right there 605 00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:53,680 yeah but the the reality is that the way 606 00:43:50,720 --> 00:44:01,240 that YouTube distributes video to your subscribers is heavily Al algorithm 607 00:43:56,839 --> 00:44:03,119 based B such that if you know half of 608 00:44:01,240 --> 00:44:07,960 our viewers weren't interested in Channel Super Fun let's say every time 609 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:13,400 this this Linus Media Group Channel dumped a Channel Super Fun video out it 610 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:16,760 would increase viewer fatigue and YouTube would stop Distributing our 611 00:44:15,119 --> 00:44:21,480 videos and recommending them to people across the platform as much yeah the 612 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:26,200 more focused your channel is the more likely you are to be picked up by the 613 00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:30,599 algorithm and shared and Skyrocket perfect examples of this that we've seen 614 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:36,119 in the last year um are guys like what's inside every video is the same formula 615 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:42,400 or the pneumatic thing yes you crushing thing 616 00:44:39,720 --> 00:44:46,480 or someone like techrax okay you watch a techrax video you watch a what's inside 617 00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:53,880 video you know what you're going to get a guy destroying an iPhone in some kind 618 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:55,760 of creative Manner and a guy and his kid 619 00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:59,800 cutting something open and looking at what's inside it and that allows 620 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:04,760 channels like that to experience the kind of explosive growth that we For 621 00:45:02,720 --> 00:45:11,000 Better or For Worse never will because we try to tackle a broad broad variety 622 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:18,400 but even then we're limited if we tried to start doing like pet videos on lineus 623 00:45:14,720 --> 00:45:21,160 Tech tips it would hurt us in a huge way 624 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:25,839 I mean we experienced recently a a big drop in per video viewership that turned 625 00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:30,839 out to be due to us just having kind of a run of about five days of videos that 626 00:45:28,119 --> 00:45:34,400 were below viewer expectations in terms of the interest level and all of a 627 00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:40,280 sudden our new videos as far as we could tell we're getting delivered to maybe 628 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:42,240 60% as many people and uh that's why 629 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:47,960 that's why we do what we do because we have to so the game we're 630 00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:50,720 playing what else um okay lots of 631 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:59,640 questions lots of people asking about Dennis so um I got you I I don't know 632 00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:04,280 I don't know how much to say or not say I guess now that it's over should I just 633 00:46:01,319 --> 00:46:11,079 like be UPF front like what happened with Dennis yeah okay so uh Dennis 634 00:46:07,599 --> 00:46:12,559 wasn't working here um for a long period 635 00:46:11,079 --> 00:46:20,119 of time actually um basically what happened and 636 00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:21,359 it comes back to uh my first 637 00:46:20,119 --> 00:46:29,240 conversation with Dennis where I interviewed him and I asked him if he had a Canadian work permit and he said 638 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:32,319 yes um and didn't clarify exactly how 639 00:46:29,240 --> 00:46:35,319 long his Canadian work permit was valid 640 00:46:32,319 --> 00:46:35,319 for 641 00:46:36,079 --> 00:46:41,880 um and uh anyway so his Canadian work 642 00:46:40,359 --> 00:46:48,599 permit expired so he had fortunately he still 643 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:53,920 had visitor Visa status so he didn't actually have to like leave permanently 644 00:46:51,319 --> 00:47:02,079 leave the country and go back to Taiwan but um Dennis has been gone uh while 645 00:46:58,720 --> 00:47:06,480 we've been going through a very very 646 00:47:02,079 --> 00:47:09,440 long tedious process that uh anyone who 647 00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:14,800 wants to hire a foreign National who doesn't have um a work a work visa um 648 00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:19,960 has to go through and it's called an lmia it's a labor market impact 649 00:47:17,240 --> 00:47:25,040 assessment and so what we have to do is we have to demonstrate that the POS that 650 00:47:22,599 --> 00:47:30,160 for the position that we want to hire in this case we want to hire Dennis 651 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:36,240 that it will not affect Canadians who are equally qualified who are also 652 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:39,920 looking for that job or that those 653 00:47:36,240 --> 00:47:44,280 applicants would not be suitable for us 654 00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:47,280 um so that whole process took about six 655 00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:50,599 months because we actually began it long 656 00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:56,240 before uh Dennis's work permit expired 657 00:47:50,599 --> 00:48:02,119 and um as of I believe it was uh as of 658 00:47:56,240 --> 00:48:05,240 Friday last week um I had was it Friday 659 00:48:02,119 --> 00:48:08,359 last week last week I had an interview 660 00:48:05,240 --> 00:48:10,480 with um with an agent who was reviewing 661 00:48:08,359 --> 00:48:14,200 finally like it took months after it was submitted for anyone to even look at it 662 00:48:12,319 --> 00:48:22,040 but I had an interview with the agent and it really did not look very good um 663 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:24,040 but thanks to ivonne's diligence because 664 00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:30,559 she documented freaking everything like the agent was like why didn't you hire 665 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:34,760 this guy who applied and Ivon was 666 00:48:30,559 --> 00:48:37,119 like okay we emailed him on this date he 667 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:41,920 emailed back on this date he got a job somewhere else and the agent's like okay 668 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:49,440 moving on to the next one like they dug deep yeah and um thanks to yvon's 669 00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:53,079 diligence effective November 1st I 670 00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:55,799 believe yeah Dennis is back at lus Media 671 00:48:53,079 --> 00:49:01,160 Group so there you have it it has been extraordinarily stressful for us because 672 00:48:58,359 --> 00:49:06,559 Dennis is as you guys know and I'm sure can appreciate an extremely valuable 673 00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:11,440 member of our team here um we take a very you know no man Left Behind sort of 674 00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:16,640 approach to things I'm not going to I'm not going to like I'm not bragging or 675 00:49:13,319 --> 00:49:18,640 anything but like to me this kind of 676 00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:24,079 thing is very important it cost us many thousands of dollars um to go through 677 00:49:20,839 --> 00:49:27,400 this process um in order to make sure 678 00:49:24,079 --> 00:49:30,480 that Dennis could not only get get his 679 00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:33,319 work permit to work here but um it's 680 00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:37,640 also probably the last one of the last steps um for him to get his permanent 681 00:49:35,839 --> 00:49:43,359 residence and officially become a Canadian so um that's that's been that's 682 00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:49,640 been really exciting for for me taian number one and for him so yeah there you 683 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:51,799 go that is what we have been the Journey 684 00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:55,920 of Dennis has been very interesting very quiet about and uh it's actually it 685 00:49:54,280 --> 00:50:02,359 feels good to get it out there because like 686 00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:03,839 oh I've addressed on like my thing but 687 00:50:02,359 --> 00:50:07,839 the only thing I've said the whole time is that he's not working here right now 688 00:50:05,839 --> 00:50:14,240 yeah that's all we're allowed to really say so there you go it it was really 689 00:50:10,559 --> 00:50:17,040 close oh man was it close um what else 690 00:50:14,240 --> 00:50:21,079 we got for topics today uh sure there's something 691 00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:24,839 wow Microsoft and Apple oh yeah we haven't even talked about the Microsoft 692 00:50:22,240 --> 00:50:29,880 and Apple things and it's six and six uh PornHub offers to buy Vine six seconds 693 00:50:27,720 --> 00:50:35,400 is more than enough and you know what considering Vine's Auto 694 00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:38,160 Loop that might be true yeah there could 695 00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:45,160 be some pretty creative uh pretty creative x-rated Vines I'm sure yeah I 696 00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:48,160 mean many banner ads for pornographic 697 00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,160 sites are basically 698 00:50:48,559 --> 00:50:57,280 Vines you really think about it PornHub has promised to restore Vine to its not 699 00:50:53,559 --> 00:50:57,280 safe for work Glory 700 00:50:58,119 --> 00:51:02,640 was there like Nazi for work stuff on Vines yeah okay yeah yeah and then they 701 00:51:01,599 --> 00:51:09,799 tried to clean it up and make it Advertiser friendly and then now they're closing it so that's that's the history 702 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:11,160 of Vine in 10 seconds or less um oh man 703 00:51:09,799 --> 00:51:15,799 that's funny all right let's talk about the MacBook Pro so the uh original 704 00:51:13,799 --> 00:51:20,280 Source here is oh hold on no I want to do those straw poles before I totally 705 00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:25,440 forget yeah so browse web on projector you guys are full of crap yeah 22% of 706 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:30,440 you 22% of you projector sails go through the roof everyone starts making 707 00:51:27,799 --> 00:51:33,119 them gigantic load of garbage everyone watches my dorm room Tech video and 708 00:51:31,720 --> 00:51:38,000 they're like wow yeah everything in this video makes sense now okay are you app 709 00:51:35,079 --> 00:51:40,599 fatigued 78% of you saying yes although I have to take these results with a 710 00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:45,920 grain of salt because you guys are a bunch of freaking Liars no dude 22% are 711 00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:50,240 not app fatigued and are watching this on a projector well projectors you can't 712 00:51:47,799 --> 00:51:54,640 install apps on projectors bogus unless you had an LG Smart projector oh 713 00:51:54,640 --> 00:52:06,040 dang all right so moving on on to the new Macbook Pro with uh and uh with a 714 00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:08,880 touch strip along the top that replaces 715 00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:13,160 the function bar I got to say good move I mean it's not the first time this idea 716 00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:18,040 has ever come up the art lebedev Optimus keyboard was the first one to have this 717 00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:19,839 idea OLED displays behind every key and 718 00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:24,960 you could Pro I mean did did anyone ever get one I don't think I ever saw it 719 00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:28,880 outside of concept art but uh that's like what got me interested in keyboard 720 00:52:27,240 --> 00:52:32,799 yeah so I think that's what got a lot of people interested in keyboards so so 721 00:52:30,319 --> 00:52:38,000 they they officially give a crap about laptops again but they don't seem to 722 00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:45,480 know who they're making them for because it says right here MacBook Pro and it's 723 00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:51,640 not for professionals as far as I can tell but this this raises a lot of 724 00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:54,599 questions for me this here because the 725 00:52:51,640 --> 00:53:00,000 13-in model unless you dock it the 13-inch model I'm I'm docking marks from 726 00:52:58,119 --> 00:53:06,000 Apple that's what's getting docked right now son dang dang uh my D my scroll 727 00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:10,720 isn't working a laptop dock why is my scroll considering the USB-C ports of 728 00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:20,720 this thing has woo those are expensive oh man every 13in MacBook Pro has no 729 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:28,640 dedicated GPU I'm sorry are you kidding me 20 2550 730 00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:34,680 for no ddy GPU no I'm I'm down I get it so you got I mean this is the thing 731 00:53:31,839 --> 00:53:39,880 apple is the company pre that whips out the GPU performance slide pure four them 732 00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:48,440 every time they release a new iPad or an iPhone and talks about the importance of 733 00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:50,599 GPU heterogeneous compute for for for 734 00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:56,920 the performance of future Computing devices I mean this can produce graphics 735 00:53:53,559 --> 00:53:59,880 and then Intel Iris Graphics 550 and 736 00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:06,640 then builds a professional product that goes all the way up to 737 00:54:03,559 --> 00:54:09,680 $2500 Us doll hold on no we're onca 738 00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:11,640 we're onca so let's be cognizant of that 739 00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:16,880 let's try to go to us and see if that works okay so let's bring it up with 740 00:54:13,079 --> 00:54:22,520 with the US prices all the way up to 741 00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:26,520 $2,000 with eight gigs of RAM and no 742 00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:28,359 graphics card and not a single typ a USB 743 00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:33,000 Port I'm sold no one will ever need more than 8 gigs of 744 00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:36,119 RAM I mean to be clear you can configure it with more memory oh but you would 745 00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:41,799 need to so let's look at the 15inch which you 746 00:54:39,319 --> 00:54:45,200 could make the argument is more of a is more of a professional great do they 747 00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:48,559 even have quad cores holy crap no I missed that they don't even have dual 748 00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:53,000 they don't even have quad core processors no one needs more than two 749 00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:55,799 cores two cores 8 gigs of RAM like anything above that is you're just 750 00:54:54,559 --> 00:54:59,280 compensating I don't even understand what this product is compensator call it 751 00:54:57,720 --> 00:55:03,520 watch the video it's coming out at this is like this is like MacBook Pro for 752 00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:09,200 students and I understand that it's like lots of students go buy a MacBook Pro so 753 00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:13,240 so basically Apple's given up on because my whole thing with apple is that so 754 00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:17,920 much of their marketing in the past has been around selling what people want to 755 00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:21,920 be and selling what people want to do versus what they are and what they can 756 00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:27,119 do so like an apple commercial is full of like all the amazing like videos that 757 00:55:25,039 --> 00:55:31,400 you create when the the reality of it is is it's a very small subset of the 758 00:55:29,319 --> 00:55:35,960 population that creates any kind of video that anyone anywhere would want to 759 00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:37,640 watch Austin Evans I'm sorry Austin 760 00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:42,440 Evans yeah sure I'm actually like looking for I guess are you doing a 761 00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:44,160 review of yes I am you are okay yeah 762 00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:47,160 I'll look forward to your video too 763 00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:54,440 wow I'm interested to see what you guys say about it because the USB type-c 764 00:55:52,039 --> 00:56:01,000 stuff it's actually kind of interesting losing type A is going to suck but I I 765 00:55:57,799 --> 00:56:02,280 like seeing how many type C's they had 766 00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:07,640 disappointed with the fact that there's no type A's what I'll tell you right now 767 00:56:05,079 --> 00:56:11,359 is that I Without Really realizing what I had done because I didn't watch the 768 00:56:09,559 --> 00:56:16,240 event and I didn't look that closely at the specs did you order a dual core I 769 00:56:13,240 --> 00:56:18,200 ordered a dual core 13inch MacBook Pro 770 00:56:16,240 --> 00:56:26,880 so I can tell you right now my review will contain a a concise but uh spirited 771 00:56:23,839 --> 00:56:30,799 rant about how Apple could possibly 772 00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:33,680 believe that dual core is pro for 773 00:56:30,799 --> 00:56:36,960 anything um yeah so there's that I I forget where I was going with whatever I 774 00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:39,960 was talking about before but four Thunderbolt 3 ports four Thunderbolt 775 00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:45,000 what could I possibly need four Thunderbolt 3 ports for that I can run 776 00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:51,000 with a dual C you you could charge four pixels at a time not an iPhone you can't 777 00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:55,799 plug that in don't buy one of those 778 00:56:56,559 --> 00:57:02,920 that's my favorite thing oh man they don't have a first-party cable I I don't 779 00:57:01,599 --> 00:57:07,680 think well okay there's probably an adapter or something like that but you'd have to buy it after the fact I do not 780 00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:13,079 believe the iPhone comes with a lightning to USBC connector no it 781 00:57:09,799 --> 00:57:16,039 doesn't so you you could literally walk 782 00:57:13,079 --> 00:57:20,559 out of an Apple store without being able to plug your iPhone into your but 783 00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:27,119 remember Apple's Vision Apple has the courage to do away with wires but not 784 00:57:24,799 --> 00:57:30,599 but not the courage to have wir charging or the ability to plug their own 785 00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:36,119 products into each other what happened to like the insanely cohesive hard to 786 00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:40,359 get out of Mac ecosystem I've heard it's still hard to get out of but like they 787 00:57:38,559 --> 00:57:44,559 don't even work well properly you have to get an adapter to plug your phone 788 00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:50,599 into your own Mac laptop it's wireless wireless is the future but but it's not 789 00:57:48,119 --> 00:57:55,799 airport why do they call it airport I don't know are there planes do you uh I 790 00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:59,400 don't no I don't know I going to say do you do and then I was like wait nope 791 00:57:57,359 --> 00:58:04,880 that's that's Star Citizen or Eve nope nope nope um what are we even talking 792 00:58:02,119 --> 00:58:08,720 about right now okay so right right I wanted to talk I wanted to talk about 793 00:58:06,319 --> 00:58:14,400 the specs of the 15in I I'm like I'm screwed I can't believe I just ordered a 794 00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:16,520 dual core laptop for like $3,000 can 795 00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:20,280 dbrand ordered it CU they're sending it skinned like I I might have to I might 796 00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:27,160 have to get in touch with dbrand be like yo whoa hold on hold on hold on um hold 797 00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:30,359 on okay so dude you could get 16 gigs of memory that's two times the amount that 798 00:58:28,559 --> 00:58:43,200 you need it gets even worse okay so the 15 in has whopping radon Pro 450 799 00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:47,760 Graphics oh dang for 2400 to 2800 800 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:48,880 us dang two gigs of vram hell yeah I 801 00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:53,720 mean this is one of those you don't even get any more ports I thought they'd give 802 00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:58,920 you you know five at least Thunderbolt Thunderbolt three ports you need that 803 00:58:55,160 --> 00:59:01,559 fifth one dude you got to have it I uh I 804 00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:05,520 wonder if you could okay nah I'm not even going to bring that up could you 805 00:59:03,039 --> 00:59:07,760 like okay no I'm interested now the it I doubt it because the power there's no 806 00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:12,319 way the power supply would be able to take this but could you like plug it in 807 00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:16,000 through all of those ports to charge this has got to be the stupidest 808 00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:19,039 thing I've ever said but like does it dynamically know if one of them is 809 00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:24,640 receiving power and it'll turn receiving power off on all the other ports I'll be perfectly honest with you like I said I 810 00:59:22,359 --> 00:59:28,640 did not watch the keynote okay so it's possible that there's actually a 811 00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:32,559 dedicated charging port I'm not sure okay I'll have to look again like I 812 00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:35,839 don't I I was wondering if you if you plug in a bunch of type-c devices and 813 00:59:34,359 --> 00:59:40,200 put them all to like charge the other device is that going to like screw the MacBook up or how does that even work I 814 00:59:38,559 --> 00:59:45,240 I don't think so I've never tried it should be correctly should be correctly 815 00:59:42,119 --> 00:59:47,559 managed um so yeah I color me not 816 00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:53,880 impressed I do not agree that it's a touch of Genius I love the huge trackpad 817 00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:56,680 I love the idea of the dynamically 818 00:59:53,880 --> 01:00:02,520 reconfigurable function row I think that is a step forward and 819 01:00:00,319 --> 01:00:10,599 um is a great move um I am not a fan of the io but hey 820 01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:13,440 oh yeah no they do charge via the USB type-c port so there you go oh I knew it 821 01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:17,440 charged through that I was wondering how they deal with the multiple ports yep um 822 01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:22,119 so it does have a headphone jack at least it has that going for it yeah it 823 01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:27,839 looks great it's really thin but I don't I can't think of a reason why it should 824 01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:31,480 be this thin and give up having a decent 825 01:00:27,839 --> 01:00:33,880 GPU and in the case of the 13inch uh a 826 01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:37,319 GPU at all and a proper CPU you want know what's kind of funny 827 01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:46,400 can I help you you were talking about Dennis and he said that the MacBook doesn't have a single tie pay USB a typ 828 01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:48,559 a oh type oh type A I know oh thanks 829 01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:54,599 that's the joke thanks thank 830 01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:56,760 you single Ty have you seen his hair 831 01:00:54,599 --> 01:01:00,240 who's have you seen his hair his hair hair I don't think he even noticed after 832 01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:04,280 he told me to cut my yeah no I don't I don't I don't notice I don't notice if 833 01:01:02,599 --> 01:01:07,400 you get a haircut I notice if you haven't had one in like four months yeah 834 01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:13,319 I get my money's worth when I get haircuts yeah oh is it are you bald no 835 01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:17,599 oh but it's like mostly yeah that's good that's looks 836 01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:21,640 good Taiwan number one Taiwan number one Taiwan number one so uh well by the way 837 01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:25,400 you guys were right we haven't even made it through the four topics yet I told 838 01:01:23,359 --> 01:01:30,839 you it would be a four topic W four topic w okay let's talk let's talk 839 01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:35,400 surface studio all right so we didn't get to see 840 01:01:32,079 --> 01:01:37,960 this so we wanted to go to the launch 841 01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:42,119 for this but we had what like 3 days notice no no no no no no no to be fair 842 01:01:40,599 --> 01:01:47,440 to them they they gave us way more notice than that okay but we were just 843 01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:49,920 in a situation where you were like you 844 01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:55,119 were out I had pneumonia we didn't know what was happening so like we didn't 845 01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:59,559 have someone to send and we didn't know what it was going to be about we didn't 846 01:01:56,319 --> 01:02:02,720 know that it was going to be like a ball 847 01:01:59,559 --> 01:02:04,039 like super NDA I'm sure wer allowed to 848 01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:08,000 say anything they were like you should really go it's like right up your alley 849 01:02:05,839 --> 01:02:13,520 but then the only picture that I had about it said like an update for Windows 850 01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:16,480 or something or like the future of Windows I think it was the future of 851 01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:20,119 Windows the rumor was that it was going to be about Windows and then yeah and 852 01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:23,960 then there was a rumor at the exact same time that was about another just 853 01:02:21,799 --> 01:02:30,920 software update to Windows so I was like uh okay so evidence that Microsoft 854 01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:35,240 understands what the word professional means yeah uh even though they didn't 855 01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:42,359 even use it but they they are they they have Pro in creative 856 01:02:37,599 --> 01:02:45,039 process so there's that okay um this is 857 01:02:42,359 --> 01:02:49,440 a Ballin machine this thing is super cool it's expensive but to be clear I 858 01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:54,599 wasn't complaining about the price more expensive than the MacBook Pro of the MacBook Pro yeah I wasn't complaining 859 01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:58,480 about the price of the MacBook Pro what I was complaining about was was that it 860 01:02:56,200 --> 01:03:03,160 has the word Pro in the name if you just called it 861 01:03:00,119 --> 01:03:04,720 MacBook and you just made it like a 862 01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:08,760 Macbook for like people who like MacBooks then sure great MacBook light 863 01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:14,160 charge as much as you want for it what I don't like is calling it pro when it 864 01:03:11,599 --> 01:03:20,200 doesn't even have a discrete GPU in it and it has 8 gigs of RAM and a dual core 865 01:03:16,799 --> 01:03:23,079 that is not pro that is consumer that is 866 01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:31,480 very consumer grade um so anyway the surface Studio 28 in high resolution 867 01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:34,039 display quad core core i7 processor 868 01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:43,680 comes with a pen so you can draw which is freaking cool um you can have up to a 869 01:03:38,279 --> 01:03:46,160 4 gig GTX 980m GPU which I'm guessing is 870 01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:50,799 only because of the long development cycle for a product like this I would 871 01:03:48,559 --> 01:03:56,760 expect a refresh at some point with some kind of Pascal based GPU they could get 872 01:03:52,880 --> 01:04:01,559 a 1060 in there TDP wise no problem up 873 01:03:56,760 --> 01:04:04,440 to 32 gigs of RAM thank you 980m I think 874 01:04:01,559 --> 01:04:10,319 they could fit a TDP wise 1070 couldn't they no not quite I'm I'm pretty sure 875 01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:16,599 we'd be looking at 1060 okay cuz that's what we got on uh blade 14 which had a 876 01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:19,200 970m but I think 1070 is too much more 877 01:04:16,599 --> 01:04:21,960 kind of thing like it's okay cuz I what the understanding I had was that it was 878 01:04:20,799 --> 01:04:26,119 one down you might be right maybe I'm not 879 01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:30,160 sure though but then like you also said that the configurability of the tdps on 880 01:04:28,279 --> 01:04:39,559 those things is insane so like who knows y so um 4500 by 3,000 resolution display 881 01:04:35,839 --> 01:04:41,119 uh it can handle uh srgb DC3 and Vivid 882 01:04:39,559 --> 01:04:48,000 color profiles it's a 10-point multitouch it's a 3x2 aspect ratio like 883 01:04:44,599 --> 01:04:51,599 again people who understand 884 01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:54,640 Pro know that the square display is 885 01:04:51,599 --> 01:04:56,640 actually pretty badass I would like to 886 01:04:54,640 --> 01:05:00,520 see them have an accompany display so that I could have a dual a dual display 887 01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:05,319 set up that that you could use in the same way yeah so I could have two 3x2 888 01:05:03,039 --> 01:05:09,799 displays not that you can't expand the displays with something else but you 889 01:05:07,839 --> 01:05:13,119 can't do the same format you can't get the same there's some special 890 01:05:11,359 --> 01:05:17,359 functionality that comes with it one thing that is missing that I would have 891 01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:22,760 liked to see and I know that it's like not the hugest thing on for PC is I 892 01:05:20,319 --> 01:05:29,799 would have liked to see Thunderbolt um because it is becoming more of a thing 893 01:05:26,079 --> 01:05:32,799 on especially mobile PCS 894 01:05:29,799 --> 01:05:35,520 um but I still feel pretty darn good 895 01:05:32,799 --> 01:05:41,319 about this and I love that at least if they're thing man at least if they're 896 01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:45,079 going to charge a bunch of money for 897 01:05:41,319 --> 01:05:48,319 a they've got this really cool like full 898 01:05:45,079 --> 01:05:52,559 down fantastic beautiful display 899 01:05:48,319 --> 01:05:55,440 powerful thing that uh kind of excites 900 01:05:52,559 --> 01:06:00,920 me Xbox wireless built in the fact that it doesn't include office it's kind of 901 01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:07,480 frustrating I think that that's an opportunity that Microsoft has to offer 902 01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:09,599 value on their Hardware products that um 903 01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:14,839 in my mind shouldn't cannibalize um shouldn't cannibalize 904 01:06:12,039 --> 01:06:19,039 Standalone office sales really that much they did it with the Surface RT for 905 01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:24,279 example where they're like this is an awful product what could we possibly do 906 01:06:21,839 --> 01:06:30,640 to move a few units you get office get office the one the one app that was ever 907 01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:34,920 made for like ARM Windows that matters 908 01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:36,839 yeah yay yeah um so yeah I'm really 909 01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:40,240 looking forward to checking this out have we like thing are we getting one 910 01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:43,799 we're getting one we haven't ordered one but we are getting one okay good yeah 911 01:06:42,079 --> 01:06:46,720 all right just making sure wow I had a like Panic moment there for a minute the 912 01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:50,279 dial thing oh sorry Does it show the dial thing anywhere here the dial thing 913 01:06:48,359 --> 01:06:54,880 how does it not show the dial thing the yay this thing is so cool have you seen 914 01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:58,440 it in the video so like they put it on the screen straight up on the screen I 915 01:06:56,680 --> 01:07:02,400 don't know how it fixes itself there I'm assuming there's a type of like rubbery 916 01:07:00,079 --> 01:07:06,240 something on the bottom cuz I'm sure it's not magnets through the screen I 917 01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:10,279 don't know how it works I mean magnets don't affect LCDs the way that they did 918 01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:14,760 affect CRTs like it I don't know might yeah but I just I just I doubt it yeah I 919 01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:18,720 don't think so any anyways it and it can be used for different things so in one 920 01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:22,559 situation they turn the dial and it rotates the image another situation it's 921 01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:25,799 a color wheel and you're able to turn and change the color wheel with one hand 922 01:07:24,359 --> 01:07:29,240 while you like stroke paint with the other hand so they had gradient paint 923 01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:33,760 going through as the person's changing it that's really cool very cool I don't 924 01:07:31,799 --> 01:07:37,200 do the art stuff but I like physical control of things so being able to turn 925 01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:42,119 that to select your color would actually be pretty awesome I don't do the art 926 01:07:38,839 --> 01:07:43,279 stuff Luke lafrenier 2016 yeah it's 927 01:07:42,119 --> 01:07:47,720 probably pretty accurate have you seen me try to do anything that's artistic 928 01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:53,359 yes it's pretty bad I know I can manage cables pretty well that's good yeah all 929 01:07:51,119 --> 01:07:58,240 right so speaking of things that we do well ending the show 930 01:07:56,640 --> 01:08:01,440 by Rolling the intro okay we don't do that well but 931 01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:04,760 we've had a pretty good track record lately yeah watch it not work this time 932 01:08:03,319 --> 01:08:18,799 thanks for watching guys see you again next week bye 933 01:08:18,799 --> 01:08:27,440 hey oh we have to destroy the cable we 934 01:08:23,239 --> 01:08:27,440 come back after the out yeah 935 01:08:27,679 --> 01:08:33,080 uh no no no no no I just want this 936 01:08:33,279 --> 01:08:43,480 cable I'm going to make this cable my bch is it stuck on something hold onug 937 01:08:40,199 --> 01:08:46,159 hold on uh no no I think I unplugged it 938 01:08:43,480 --> 01:08:52,839 unless I didn't in which case I would not have oh no I I did not unplug it 939 01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:57,679 okay okay so it appears as though the 940 01:08:52,839 --> 01:09:01,759 cable was indeed the problem so here we 941 01:08:57,679 --> 01:09:01,759 go Hulk Edition line of 942 01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:09,799 Sebastian hold on
