WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.480
there you go that looks good again hey okay so uh

00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:10.360
welcome to the WAN Show we have awesome

00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:14.440
topics that we can hopefully talk about on a microphone that is functional this

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:18.800
week yeah uh two companies that start with V have been shut down which will be

00:00:16.279 --> 00:00:24.160
two separate topics one of them was Vine and the other one was vessel so if

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

00:00:27.080 --> 00:00:32.320
see lonus Media Group perfect name for

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:36.040
naming scheme doesn't start with a V perfect name for a company there's

00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:41.360
actually no V in the whole name npe which is probably what like really shows

00:00:38.480 --> 00:00:45.280
your craftsmanship craftmanship of that name after that there was also

00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:49.199
announcements from two different companies that sound like they were

00:00:47.199 --> 00:00:54.879
announcements for products from the other company there was a laptop and an

00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:56.960
all-in-one PC announc from Microsoft and

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

00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:04.160
leave the guessing game to you until later

00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:25.400
intro

00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:31.920
space Gable m

00:01:32.119 --> 00:01:35.520
C cable

00:01:35.880 --> 00:01:44.479
mod cable mod huh I'm actually listening to us

00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:46.520
like yell out the sponsor names Behind

00:01:44.479 --> 00:01:52.399
the Music right now cuz I'm actually I'm actually monitoring the stream which

00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:55.640
with the delay on Twitch is actually got

00:01:52.399 --> 00:01:56.759
be a nightmare incredibly distracting um

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

00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:06.920
listening to it here cuz I really really need to know if this cable was the

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:11.879
problem and if it turns out that this USB cable was the problem I will

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

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

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

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

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

00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:40.280
way I'm going to try it's really difficult this is like hard sleeved and

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

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

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

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

00:02:55.040 --> 00:03:03.280
here cuz I just grabbed another microphone without actually like

00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:07.200
checking any of the settings whatsoever what is isn't this the same mic we you

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

00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:14.000
though yeah the when you were testing you put it over there so that's probably

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

00:03:18.239 --> 00:03:23.280
jump right into our first topic here um

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

00:03:25.519 --> 00:03:32.000
is terrifying it's just yeah okay so the original article here is from The Verge

00:03:30.239 --> 00:03:40.159
oh speaking of terrifying I have not pluged in your my

00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:40.159
screen share yet

00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:48.159
today let's see if it works I'm excited

00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:49.120
oh oh oh okay no no it's fine I I

00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:56.079
thought I thought we I thought it was shutting down oh

00:03:51.720 --> 00:03:58.280
hey first time's a charm when a show

00:03:56.079 --> 00:04:00.840
something works always works all the time

00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:09.400
is nice uh AT&T to buy HBO CNN and the rest

00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:12.680
of Time Warner for more than 80 billion

00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:16.560
so I've got a riddle for you okay what's

00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:18.079
the only thing scarier than a

00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:24.400
ginormous corporation that owns all the media that

00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:24.400
you

00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:32.919
consume an even more ginormous Corporation

00:04:29.840 --> 00:04:36.680
owns that owns the

00:04:32.919 --> 00:04:41.039
delivery media through which you receive

00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:43.360
all the media you consume yeah yeah yeah

00:04:41.039 --> 00:04:51.120
this might be one of the only things on planet Earth

00:04:45.919 --> 00:04:54.080
that I and you and Hillary Clinton and

00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:59.800
Donald Trump all agree all agree on yeah this is terrible yeah this should not

00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:07.400
happen it's the worst I I love the uh I love the sub

00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:07.400
headline that deal includes

00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:17.759
Batman okay thanks deal includes the one

00:05:14.840 --> 00:05:22.840
still somewhat relevant superhero for Warner oh for Warner okay yeah I was

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

00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:33.080
yeah um so h not a ton of we're not going to

00:05:30.960 --> 00:05:38.680
go over a ton of details here but news of the merger first surfaced last Friday

00:05:36.280 --> 00:05:42.840
and um actually there are almost no notes on this whatsoever thank you

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

00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:53.120
actually put into the dock here but

00:05:50.479 --> 00:05:58.240
um yeah there there's one kind of funny thing where uh the US government

00:05:55.800 --> 00:06:04.520
summoned The Wrong Time Warner CEO to like talk about stuff they they

00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:08.039
summoned uh Robert Marcus the former CEO

00:06:04.520 --> 00:06:11.280
of Time Warner instead of uh Jeff bues

00:06:08.039 --> 00:06:13.479
who is the current CEO of Time

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

00:06:16.039 --> 00:06:22.240
surprised that that happened but either way you would think so this comes on the

00:06:20.840 --> 00:06:30.919
heels of of other isps also looking to expand

00:06:26.840 --> 00:06:33.039
their their digital media uh um

00:06:30.919 --> 00:06:38.520
Footprints and I guess that leads us pretty well into what will be one of our

00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:41.680
biggest topics for today um even though

00:06:38.520 --> 00:06:44.240
the list of people on Earth who care is

00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:51.160
definitely less than the number of people who will watch this video um this

00:06:47.440 --> 00:06:55.120
has a significant impact on us and to a

00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:56.960
core group of our viewers yeah that are

00:06:55.120 --> 00:07:01.840
legitimately paying a monthly subscription fee to view our content

00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:07.800
which is uh which is pretty pretty unbelievable to us and there are many

00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:11.400
many more of them than you guys likely

00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:15.919
realize so Verizon is buying Jason

00:07:11.400 --> 00:07:19.879
kill's video startup vessel and promptly

00:07:15.919 --> 00:07:24.440
shutting it down so October 26th which

00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:27.080
was on Wednesday October 26th the news

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

00:07:28.919 --> 00:07:36.919
thank you this is this is why I like having you here cuz like sometimes I

00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:41.720
sense no make so um we found out about

00:07:36.919 --> 00:07:45.400
it on the 26th of October and the deal

00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:49.639
is done not just not just done like

00:07:45.400 --> 00:07:54.240
vessel.com is shutting down on October

00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:55.800
31st that one two three four five days

00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:59.919
three of which are business days it's got to be one of the fastest shutdowns

00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:04.680
after announcement like ever hold on a second hold on no no this is posted

00:08:01.440 --> 00:08:08.159
October 26th at 5:30 p.m. so

00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:09.440
like okay one wait no that's that's

00:08:08.159 --> 00:08:16.120
still right I still I still had the numbers right numbers right still I had

00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:18.879
Mak sense no yes excellent

00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:24.039
um so I you try to do a sponsor spot like

00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:27.319
that that would be terrible for everyone

00:08:24.039 --> 00:08:30.199
yeah yeah us sponsored

00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:34.479
viewers no one would win poor Nick he'd have he'd have like a

00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:40.640
brain tumor by um all right so vessel launched about 18

00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:43.599
months ago um what else we got it it's

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

00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:51.519
talk about pre-shutdown and then you can go through what's going to happen post

00:08:48.680 --> 00:08:59.560
shutdown so uh so pre-shutdown vessel launched with the promise of giving

00:08:54.839 --> 00:09:01.200
creators um kind of like

00:08:59.560 --> 00:09:07.800
how would what would I compare this to okay so giving creators a way to provide

00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:13.760
some kind of benefit to what they called super fans so some kind of benefit that

00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:17.120
would drive super fans to pay a monthly

00:09:13.760 --> 00:09:18.760
subscription for the content and support

00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:26.079
effectively support the channels that they watch in a way that is much more

00:09:22.760 --> 00:09:28.920
financially beneficial so more money per

00:09:26.079 --> 00:09:33.600
view than ad supported platforms like YouTube remember YouTube Red was not a

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

00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:43.360
window viewers who paid three bucks a

00:09:40.680 --> 00:09:48.079
month for the entire vessel platform would get early access to all the

00:09:44.880 --> 00:09:50.720
content on the platform and some things

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

00:09:52.760 --> 00:10:00.360
you through some of the reasons so number one is being able to monetize

00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:02.760
views more than the fraction of a scent

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

00:10:05.839 --> 00:10:14.839
some of the content and some of the uh some of the audience off YouTube where

00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:18.560
we are riing on the Goodwill of Google

00:10:14.839 --> 00:10:20.640
for our continued existence was a huge

00:10:18.560 --> 00:10:25.200
one for us like actually really sketchy massive because it was I had already

00:10:22.880 --> 00:10:29.200
dismissed joining vessel I was done I wasn't going to look into it and then

00:10:27.560 --> 00:10:34.360
Google pulled a thing where they were like like okay we are going to crack

00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:36.480
down on creators having native

00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:41.920
advertising that they bake into their videos and like it's going to get real

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

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

00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:56.279
different ad units on that video which logistically how does that even like for

00:10:52.680 --> 00:10:58.839
how long like didn't even make any sense

00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:06.399
and so we were like holy crap we need something

00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:07.680
so vessel also offered us that um and

00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:14.639
for the first the other thing they offered was one free year to our viewers

00:11:11.920 --> 00:11:18.120
yeah uh which was which I thought was pretty cool because the way that I

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

00:11:20.160 --> 00:11:26.480
I saw the platform failing coming uh at the started actually like I was like on

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

00:11:28.880 --> 00:11:36.560
startup that signing a oneyear contract

00:11:32.880 --> 00:11:40.040
with us um or sorry it was uh it was an

00:11:36.560 --> 00:11:42.760
18 month contract 18-month contract I

00:11:40.040 --> 00:11:46.920
think with the potential to renew for another 18 months as long as no parties

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

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

00:11:54.440 --> 00:12:02.120
I mean and we were allowed doing simultaneous content when it came to

00:11:58.959 --> 00:12:04.000
like show content or timely content like

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

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

00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:16.480
to make ourselves less reliant on the

00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:19.800
pace at which new technology was being released so that was right around the

00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:26.720
time that we were developing Concepts like scrapyard Wars um Concepts like uh

00:12:23.959 --> 00:12:34.480
moving Vlog Concepts like Concepts that did not rely on razor or apple or

00:12:32.040 --> 00:12:38.079
Microsoft to deliver us some new shiny thing that would drive people's interest

00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:43.760
in our videos trying to make it more personality driven more uh project

00:12:40.680 --> 00:12:45.120
driven you know compensator to is right

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

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

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

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

00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:11.720
so what I don't know can you hint no so

00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:14.320
okay long story short through vessel we

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

00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:24.760
this was the other thing I had just signed the deal on the warehouse that we

00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:28.519
are sitting in today I had just signed

00:13:24.760 --> 00:13:29.839
the deal the mortgage deal on it and

00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:36.040
YouTube came out with their thing that was going to significantly affect our ability to

00:13:34.079 --> 00:13:40.639
monetize our videos this a very scary time and vessel offered us the

00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:48.320
opportunity to better monetize our videos right at that moment so I had

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

00:13:49.920 --> 00:13:55.639
an office inside this building I don't know how much you guys know about like

00:13:53.519 --> 00:14:00.480
leasing renting or buying commercial space but like you're lucky if it's an

00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:03.639
empty box because then you save the money that it would cost to rip out

00:14:02.160 --> 00:14:07.680
whatever stupid thing the previous person put in and get it hauled away to

00:14:06.079 --> 00:14:15.320
the landfill so um so there you go

00:14:12.160 --> 00:14:17.839
and so now in terms of what happens to

00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:21.959
people who are already subscribers uh you will be provided complimentary

00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:28.480
access through the month of October also known as like a few days bucks yeah you

00:14:25.959 --> 00:14:32.279
were given a refund till the beginning of October

00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:37.519
so if you bought an annual sub so you will have hopefully get given money

00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:41.399
thing yeah if if you were subscribed through iTunes which I didn't even know

00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:45.320
was possible but sure yeah if you were subscribed through iTunes you need to

00:14:43.040 --> 00:14:49.399
contact Apple customer support for a refund well that's what you get for

00:14:46.680 --> 00:14:53.240
subscribing through iTunes yeah um and you will apparently be receiving an

00:14:51.079 --> 00:14:58.639
email with instructions and yada y y so if you're a vessel subscriber check your

00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:02.360
email yeah that's basically it got people ask asking what does this mean

00:14:59.959 --> 00:15:11.600
for nerd Sports great question I don't think we

00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:15.120
know yeah so um we have a call with

00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:17.680
go90 next week uh which is a subsidiary

00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:24.759
of Verizon also an online streaming platform not an early access platform

00:15:21.160 --> 00:15:29.759
and my understanding is

00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:33.319
that if Verizon owns vessel

00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:36.759
but did not keep the content creator

00:15:33.319 --> 00:15:40.639
contracts like ours to produce Early

00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:43.399
Access content in place but did keep the

00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:46.959
employee contract presumably to move on to another project because vessel.com is

00:15:45.160 --> 00:15:52.880
going away then content creator contracts that are

00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:56.319
not the standard ones like the exclusive

00:15:52.880 --> 00:15:59.759
content ones seem to be in kind of a

00:15:56.319 --> 00:16:01.560
gray Zone yeah so we will have to find

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

00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:13.480
asking what is going to happen in the future for like viewers that weren't on

00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:16.399
vessel honestly uh probably nothing

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

00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:26.360
days of buffered content and dump it onto YouTube in one day this would be an

00:16:22.560 --> 00:16:27.600
enormous disservice to me Luke and all

00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:31.160
the other people who work on those videos because how however many of you

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

00:16:33.839 --> 00:16:42.759
cold hard truth is that due to the way the YouTube algorithm works if we step

00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:46.519
on our own video releases with Rapidfire

00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:50.160
video releases it significantly

00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:52.880
decreases the um the propagation of

00:16:50.160 --> 00:16:58.360
those videos in people's subboxes suggested videos suggested channels and

00:16:55.279 --> 00:17:00.319
all that stuff so we would basically be

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

00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:09.079
quarter as many views on those videos we would be significantly damaging the

00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:12.199
impact of those videos by just dumping them all on YouTube at a time and having

00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:16.919
a buffer is really helpful for us anyways because that could afford us

00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:21.520
more time to work on really super cool stuff like can I reveal a thing behind

00:17:18.360 --> 00:17:23.280
me yeah yeah like this thing which you

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

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

00:17:29.679 --> 00:17:34.880
being just stand it's fine Ed's like

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

00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:42.840
even go in the frame uh yeah so I don't know that kind

00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:49.400
of stuff can be awesome so um so yeah I guess should we

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

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

00:17:55.880 --> 00:18:04.559
uh if there's any possibility that we would look into to creating our own

00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:07.840
Early Access platform and I won't say

00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:10.240
no I I think there's I think even with a

00:18:07.840 --> 00:18:14.840
fairly rudimentary system maybe through our Forum or something like that I think

00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:20.159
there are tangible benefits that we could offer people um for like a month

00:18:18.760 --> 00:18:23.960
some kind of a monthly fee and we haven't really talked about how much it

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

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

00:18:31.520 --> 00:18:37.360
maybe shortly after wow there's a video where I talk about these things so I

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

00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:43.840
what I was recording when you came upstairs oh yeah so are you just putting

00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:47.919
it on vessel yeah it's only going on vessel that's cool so basically what

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

00:18:50.360 --> 00:18:58.880
don't think patreon's the answer because patreon we've talked to them before

00:18:54.600 --> 00:19:00.840
about building like an API or working

00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:05.679
with the apis that exist for other platforms to more tightly integrate so

00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:11.000
if someone was a patron we could offer them a coupon code on Teespring or

00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:16.240
something and they have expressed zero interest in which seems

00:19:13.919 --> 00:19:20.840
insane developing those kinds of relationships and those kinds of

00:19:18.120 --> 00:19:27.799
benefits um which to me is very frustrating because right

00:19:24.080 --> 00:19:30.600
now patreon is basically a money

00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:37.240
collection platform and not much more yeah in my mind yeah because everything

00:19:34.159 --> 00:19:40.440
that the Creator does as a benefit to

00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:42.559
their patrons has to be manually done

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

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

00:19:49.280 --> 00:19:54.960
fans of exclusive like actually constantly

00:19:53.080 --> 00:19:59.240
exclusive stuff we like share if we're going to make something we generally

00:19:56.440 --> 00:20:02.520
like sharing it with everybody and and and even if you were to do like

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

00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:10.520
tier like a signed thing patreon doesn't

00:20:08.080 --> 00:20:14.360
have like a a fulfillment center partner yeah that we could just fill an entire

00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:20.360
box full of signed shirts with and send it to them like they don't really

00:20:16.320 --> 00:20:23.200
facilitate your ability to uh to to

00:20:20.360 --> 00:20:27.640
actually execute these rewards and it's an inherent problem with the platform

00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:34.799
because most of the creators on it are small Time creators

00:20:29.360 --> 00:20:38.919
For Whom the burden of signing 200 hats

00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:40.919
and then packing them addressing them

00:20:38.919 --> 00:20:46.240
remember international shipping is a [ __ ] okay actually shipping them paying

00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:52.640
for all that like it's it's overwhelming it hurts

00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:54.280
their ability to create content which is

00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:58.280
one of the main reasons that lonus Tech tips does not have a patreon it's

00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:04.120
something that we tried for Channel Super Fun and that in my mind has

00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:06.400
largely Fallen flat um given

00:21:04.120 --> 00:21:10.400
that like if patreon had the infrastructure so that you could more

00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:15.400
easily provide meaningful rewards like something like a free vessel membership

00:21:12.600 --> 00:21:18.720
at a certain Patron level that would have been really cool one thing that I

00:21:17.080 --> 00:21:22.880
really liked was the Teespring discount idea yeah I actually loved that idea it

00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:26.080
made made tons of sense because if if you're going to contribute to a patreon

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

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

00:21:33.360 --> 00:21:40.799
because cgp gray is great and his sweater looks cool and I was like maybe

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

00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:49.159
able to show support I mean all the women in the audience have wet panties

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

00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:59.440
just I own like literally 15 sweaters and I really really don't need any more

00:21:56.679 --> 00:22:02.120
I just love sweaters anyways um I like the one you're wearing right now thank

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

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

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

00:22:13.159 --> 00:22:19.039
and like like we actually genuinely tried really hard to get the whole

00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:22.559
vessel subscription thing going yeah and like doing doing things and the other

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

00:22:25.159 --> 00:22:30.679
an like an exception thing like a signed hat once in a

00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:34.240
but if you have things that are automatic like if I just create my

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

00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:44.039
stuff early things that happen automatically help smalltime creators MH

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

00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:51.480
if vessel had managed to figure out Partnerships like that or if they had

00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:56.200
managed to figure out how to get their creators really on board with what they

00:22:53.960 --> 00:23:01.840
were doing um maybe they would have had success

00:22:58.600 --> 00:23:03.400
they had a lot of big Creator Partners

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

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

00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:16.600
immediate knee-jerk reaction of viewers

00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:19.640
not liking have the idea of having to pay for something that they used to get

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

00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:28.159
when the reality of it is viewers are now paying for something early that

00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:32.679
everyone can still get for free and I think most of our audience eventually

00:23:30.120 --> 00:23:39.360
did understand that like it it didn't didn't change almost anything you still

00:23:36.600 --> 00:23:42.880
got like embargo date reviews exactly when they were supposed to go up you

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

00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:51.360
is due to the vessel exclusivity period like the fact that we tweet about

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

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

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

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

00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:12.559
vessel onee buffer yeah for where we expect to be at for filming videos

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

00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:21.440
while later because they'll just get pushed back if they're not timely if

00:24:19.520 --> 00:24:24.760
they were a review of something like the like I think it was the Nintendo

00:24:22.679 --> 00:24:27.799
controllers yep I did that review that's not timely those have existed for a

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

00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:35.480
those kind of sat around we Shuffle the schedule a lot yeah so we'll prioritize

00:24:34.159 --> 00:24:39.720
new stuff coming in that's more important yeah we do it all the time

00:24:37.600 --> 00:24:47.159
andt and sometimes things just take a long time so the water cooled

00:24:41.840 --> 00:24:50.600
PlayStation 4 my first email to um to uh

00:24:47.159 --> 00:24:54.039
debrand sorry my first email to

00:24:50.600 --> 00:24:57.039
debrand saying yo this is like a dope AF

00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:59.240
idea you want to sponsor it was on

00:24:57.039 --> 00:25:07.039
January 25th of 2015 or 2016 rather yeah 10 months no

00:25:05.080 --> 00:25:12.559
nine months whatever that works out to many months before the release of the

00:25:09.559 --> 00:25:14.360
video so like I'm sorry for that but

00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:17.320
some of the projects we do are larger longer term projects and it just does

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

00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:24.120
of questions about this lately because and like I looked at my last personal

00:25:22.080 --> 00:25:28.559
rig update and looked at the comments and there's a comment on there from like

00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:31.799
two weeks ago being like so where's part

00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:34.919
three it's been like so many months like

00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:36.679
over a year I was like uh yeah it's very

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

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

00:25:44.520 --> 00:25:50.520
good reasons cuz nothing actually like really happened in the video so this

00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:55.039
time many of those theories at this point anyway they're like gone yeah that

00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:59.559
test bench is literally in the garbage can right

00:25:56.360 --> 00:26:02.480
now I'm not kidding it's being taken out

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

00:26:05.360 --> 00:26:10.320
um so but I have all the new computer hardware including the case and

00:26:08.600 --> 00:26:15.039
everything everything's ready to go what I'm waiting on is amethyst points and

00:26:13.240 --> 00:26:21.320
I'm not going to explain why do you know

00:26:17.159 --> 00:26:24.360
why I don't know why but I know I

00:26:21.320 --> 00:26:26.640
should squarespace.com

00:26:24.360 --> 00:26:32.279
Squarespace is the place to go if you want to build yourself a sick dopf Sleek

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

00:26:35.399 --> 00:26:40.399
big ginormous projector screen I don't

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

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

00:26:48.360 --> 00:26:55.480
much of our audience browses the web on a projector screen how many of them

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

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

00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:11.679
got to you got to hit us you got to hit us in the twitch chat let us know sup so

00:27:09.600 --> 00:27:15.200
we can uh sup you know that should have been the third option

00:27:15.320 --> 00:27:21.799
Su um they've got 247 support via live

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

00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:30.880
if you buy Squarespace for the year and they've got lots of great features that

00:27:27.520 --> 00:27:33.960
take building a website and make it so

00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:36.720
that normal people can do it and this is

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

00:27:39.080 --> 00:27:46.120
this like Construction Company project they're like shareholders or something

00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:51.320
anyway so the guy who runs the company

00:27:46.120 --> 00:27:54.919
is taking advice from a bad it guy okay

00:27:51.320 --> 00:27:57.240
so my dad convinced the guy running it

00:27:54.919 --> 00:28:03.360
that they should be in charge of like the outward marketing okay so the

00:28:00.360 --> 00:28:06.559
website is kind of under my dad which

00:28:03.360 --> 00:28:08.360
like my dad's not not an expert by any

00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:15.559
stretch of the imagination when it comes to like CSS freaking no okay so the

00:28:13.679 --> 00:28:20.279
woodworking looks great so other than your with that said my yeah my my dad

00:28:18.679 --> 00:28:23.960
would have no trouble with it if it was a Squarespace site for sure like he

00:28:21.840 --> 00:28:30.200
could handle that no problem my mom made a beautiful website I was the salty it

00:28:26.840 --> 00:28:33.279
guy that has the ear of the owner is

00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:36.159
like real men have scratch coded

00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:40.880
websites so basically he's one of those it guys that creates work to keep

00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:45.760
himself important you know what I'm talking about oh like okay okay I can

00:28:43.679 --> 00:28:49.559
understand Squarespace is a wonderful platform but they don't claim to be a

00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:52.440
wonderful platform for everything they're a wonderful platform for most

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

00:28:55.240 --> 00:29:02.200
company website who are we what do we do here are some sample floor plans and

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

00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:09.919
either should have been done that website in like an hour or two or should

00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:15.000
probably just use Squarespace just like so so so so yeah

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

00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:24.799
your website for the ever evolving web standards or new browsers or whatever

00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:29.960
else the case may be Squarespace deals with all that crap for you our Linus

00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:33.320
Medi group.com webite has sort of this is sort of embarrassing speaking of

00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:36.880
issues with updating we should be putting some of the new employees on it

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

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

00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:50.279
for Squarespace which my dad should make

00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:54.480
sure to use offer code when to save

00:29:50.279 --> 00:29:58.240
10% mine still says AKA slick PC if

00:29:54.480 --> 00:30:00.720
anyone mine still says CEO

00:29:58.240 --> 00:30:06.600
Wait no that's right sometimes I'm not sure I thought janitor was more accurate

00:30:03.600 --> 00:30:09.480
yeah um we have John we have Dennis we

00:30:06.600 --> 00:30:16.039
do not have we do not have the latest three additions to

00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:17.799
our wait four

00:30:16.039 --> 00:30:21.799
four one two wait is my wife even on there is

00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:24.799
he van on there

00:30:26.159 --> 00:30:32.240
five that was pretty bad that was pretty bad the other four there

00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:40.679
is actually Four more I'm glad she doesn't watch W show there there there

00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:42.480
and there right yeah oh yeah fresh books

00:30:40.679 --> 00:30:48.360
so fresh books is the easy to use invoicing software that helps small

00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:50.320
businesses use the time that they save

00:30:48.360 --> 00:30:56.120
not dinking around in complicated accounting software to update their

00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:57.559
websites and do the actual work that

00:30:56.120 --> 00:31:03.919
they need to be doing it also helps you look more professional when you send like Sleek professional invoices in a

00:31:01.559 --> 00:31:08.039
timely manner and you've got like all your expenses tracked and you've got all

00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:12.840
your hours together and you've got all your like mileage and it's all it all

00:31:10.679 --> 00:31:16.760
like Looks So Pro they've got lots of great functionality including the

00:31:14.360 --> 00:31:20.000
ability to accept payment on your terms so you can take deposits you can accept

00:31:18.679 --> 00:31:25.200
credit card payments through the platform you can even see when your

00:31:23.399 --> 00:31:29.840
customers when your clients receive bills so when you are whether you're

00:31:27.399 --> 00:31:34.159
running a small dent studio uh a Plumbing Service A smalltime it repair

00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:39.519
I'm sure I'm talking right to many of you guys in our audience freshbooks is a

00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:41.639
way to make your accounting life easier

00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:46.360

calls no phone treat no nothing you talk to someone they help you which like

00:32:00.080 --> 00:32:06.039
honestly for someone who doesn't have a background in accounting trying to run a

00:32:03.880 --> 00:32:10.480
small business is probably worth the cost of admission right there just

00:32:08.679 --> 00:32:16.559
having someone to talk to about how to use accounting platforms and software

00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:21.639
yeah so if all that sounds pretty good you can try freshbooks completely for

00:32:18.440 --> 00:32:23.440
free over at freshbooks.com when and

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

00:32:26.320 --> 00:32:32.080
featured spot we've got k C Mod

00:32:29.320 --> 00:32:36.320
apparently cable mod wasn't disappointed in our last featured spot on the W show

00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:41.960
and they have decided to show off some of their dank AF cables again so cable

00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:47.919
mod you may know them as the guys that offer custom individually sleeved uh

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

00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:56.480
cabling for PCs but they also have a bunch of other

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

00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:05.919
lighting strips they've got adhesive backed ones they've got magnetic backed

00:33:02.840 --> 00:33:07.760
ones which are superior by the way as

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

00:33:10.159 --> 00:33:18.960
probably be better off taking little metal stickers and like like permanently

00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:22.679
gluing those cuz the problem with the uh with sticking adhesive to the material

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

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

00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:36.000
know they've got RGB they've got rgbw so

00:33:34.039 --> 00:33:39.880
they have actual white LEDs on the Strip so you don't get that weird rainbow

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

00:33:42.760 --> 00:33:51.000
they've got a new product and that is their sleeved external cables so now you

00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:53.600
can get like sick like razor edition if

00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:57.840
only I could plug this my laptop um like sick power cables Ethernet cables go

00:33:56.320 --> 00:34:01.720
check them out they do custom length SATA cables they do custom lengths of

00:34:00.080 --> 00:34:05.600
all their different sleeve C cables they've got a configurator that lets you

00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:09.639
individually choose what color every individual wire is and they're like

00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:15.399
super nice guys I've known the guy who runs it for a really long time going

00:34:12.560 --> 00:34:19.919
back to my days at NCIX so uh he's just like a super super good salt of thee guy

00:34:18.079 --> 00:34:24.560

substantial discount on like a $100 set was a pretty big deal yeah

00:34:34.040 --> 00:34:41.760
cool all right Vine Vine is gone also

00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:46.520
shut down also shut down Bo so Twitter

00:34:41.760 --> 00:34:48.040
has decided that they now agree with me

00:34:46.520 --> 00:34:53.480
why did we create a video sharing platform for 6

00:34:51.599 --> 00:35:00.440
second videos when we already had Twitter they they they bought it like

00:34:57.040 --> 00:35:03.839
just before it was launched so more or

00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:06.079
less yes but I I don't I've never I've

00:35:03.839 --> 00:35:09.280
never understood or liked Vine I've always had tons of problems because for

00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:13.240
some reason the videos just wouldn't play most of the time I never wanted to

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

00:35:14.720 --> 00:35:21.240
browser which was supported and then they'd air out and they just I just why

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

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

00:35:27.040 --> 00:35:33.000
your Vines the website will continue to be online uh creators will be notified

00:35:31.359 --> 00:35:38.320
before the company makes any additional changes to the website or app but um yep

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

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

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

00:35:53.359 --> 00:35:58.960
possible that someone out there has talked about this or even used the same

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

00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:06.800
you think that it's due to something that I'm going to call app

00:36:05.200 --> 00:36:12.599
fatigue okay like it used to be in the early

00:36:09.760 --> 00:36:17.480
days of the iPhone you get excited to just like download everything yes yeah

00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:21.839
it was like it was like holy crap there's an accelerometer I want like a

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

00:36:24.319 --> 00:36:29.319
was there was an app for for every

00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:36.560
stupid thing and your phone was just like like I remember my first iPhone my

00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:38.680
iPhone 4 I had like pages and pages of

00:36:36.560 --> 00:36:43.760
apps that sounds like a product what does my first iPhone my first iPhone I

00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:50.880
don't know why it just does whereas now every phone gets exactly the same

00:36:47.839 --> 00:36:52.960
load up load out of one home screen

00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:59.160
worth of stuff so that everything is close together and organized I've always

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

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

00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:12.839
it's only one page so for me a big part

00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:15.520
of it comes from especially on Android

00:37:12.839 --> 00:37:20.680
especially on Android random apps crushing your B battery life yeah and

00:37:17.680 --> 00:37:21.880
not even like due to the all the amazing

00:37:20.680 --> 00:37:27.640
cool stuff they're doing in the background just due to shoddy coding

00:37:24.920 --> 00:37:33.000
practices and Google's complete in ability to prevent developers from

00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:37.720
sucking up all the power of your device and especially prevent them from

00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:40.680
reporting that they are or not prevent them but not require them to report that

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

00:37:43.240 --> 00:37:50.280
Android phone just like be hot in my

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

00:37:52.839 --> 00:38:00.560
I'm looking at it going I go into battery and it's like Android system

00:37:57.480 --> 00:38:03.000
Android OS having consumed everything

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

00:38:05.200 --> 00:38:15.119
me freaking crazy so do you think that part of the motivation for this is

00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:16.599
Twitter's question of do we need what is

00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:26.400
already a weaker brand to distribute social media crap do

00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:29.160
we need to try to get past the friction

00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:34.079
that users have with installing more app more freaking apps on their

00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:36.560
phones and finally there was another

00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:41.680
reason one interesting thing is that almost no one even downloads any

00:38:39.040 --> 00:38:47.280
apps if you look at like overall actual statistics in terms of smartphone usage

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

00:38:49.359 --> 00:38:55.800
for you guys though in the meantime while he keeps talking um it's going to

00:38:52.720 --> 00:38:57.520
be are you app fatigued I want to hear

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

00:38:58.920 --> 00:39:03.880
much research cuz I'm currently working on my review for the pixel I know the

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

00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:12.119
people that have smartphones don't download any apps you have to realize

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

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

00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:25.560
show download plenty apps um but like we

00:39:23.839 --> 00:39:30.359
are probably not even necessarily getting fatigued but we're probably

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

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

00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:42.319
would argue that's new experience fatigue kind of deal cuz I don't want

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

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

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

00:39:51.560 --> 00:39:57.680
or something I'll grab as screen recorder but I'll I'll like delete yeah

00:39:55.720 --> 00:40:01.800
I'll clean it up afterwards exactly like like when Periscope came out I loved the

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

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

00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:14.720
integrated now yeah if you Periscope stream it like does it through Twitter

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

00:40:16.680 --> 00:40:21.880
because it's unnecessary that's what I'm talking about I'm down with Twitter

00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:25.359
gaining functionality I don't want to download a new app for the same freaking

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

00:40:28.640 --> 00:40:36.200
when I was wondering about the motivation and why dilute a brand yeah

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

00:40:40.680 --> 00:40:45.319
of get it because an automobile purchase

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

00:40:48.640 --> 00:40:57.000
and the the emotion the way you appeal emotionally to a car buyer is very

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

00:40:58.920 --> 00:41:06.040
in my mind like a wireless access point

00:41:03.400 --> 00:41:10.599
um that's a very specific reference and the thing about and the thing about car

00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:16.960
brands is that whether we're talking Toyota or Lexus they don't they don't

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

00:41:18.680 --> 00:41:28.640
Acura with that horrible airbag recall yeah the actual quality of a Honda

00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:30.160
engine is pretty much regard Ed as equal

00:41:28.640 --> 00:41:35.560
whether you're buying an Acura or a Honda and the same goes for a Toyota

00:41:32.560 --> 00:41:39.000
like they don't differentiate based on

00:41:35.560 --> 00:41:41.319
the the the core functionality a Tob

00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:43.839
don't break down they seem to be trying to deliver a pretty consistent

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

00:41:47.040 --> 00:41:55.599
crazy is the brands that try to differentiate on quality by having like

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

00:41:58.079 --> 00:42:08.599
this back to wireless access points is Ruckus if you know Enterprise Wi-Fi you

00:42:04.200 --> 00:42:10.480
know Ruckus Ruckus is like bomb it's

00:42:08.599 --> 00:42:14.880
probably what you're using if you have good Wi-Fi reception in an airport or

00:42:12.560 --> 00:42:19.319
something and then they introduced like a lower-end brand aimed at small

00:42:17.680 --> 00:42:25.720
businesses called xclaim I opened up the access point and

00:42:22.319 --> 00:42:28.040
it is a Ruckus access point with like

00:42:25.720 --> 00:42:31.400
one small difference like PCB is the same most of the internal components are

00:42:29.960 --> 00:42:35.040
the same it's basically a firmware difference and I'm kind of looking at it

00:42:33.160 --> 00:42:39.280
going why not just have a lower Why Try to build a brand from scratch from

00:42:37.079 --> 00:42:43.359
nothing why not just have a lower line like a 100

00:42:41.200 --> 00:42:46.319
series and still use the same brand because you're clearly not

00:42:44.240 --> 00:42:51.000
differentiating on quality even if you're trying to have like a perceived

00:42:48.280 --> 00:42:54.240
difference because it's the same product why do

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

00:42:55.480 --> 00:43:00.240
but flute 16 says why I Brands LOL but

00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:06.359
you have three YouTube channels clearly different that is that

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

00:43:09.839 --> 00:43:18.000
called lonus Media Group that people could subscribe to in one click or I

00:43:14.640 --> 00:43:21.200
could have three shows called Linus Tech

00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:22.839
tips Techquickie and Channel Super Fun

00:43:21.200 --> 00:43:26.760
that people could individually subscribe to that would be perfect yeah but

00:43:25.200 --> 00:43:32.440
YouTube wasn't designed for that we don't own the distribution yes of the

00:43:29.440 --> 00:43:34.800
videos therefore we need to we got to

00:43:32.440 --> 00:43:38.960
play the game try to control how we can distribute them as much as we possibly

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

00:43:40.800 --> 00:43:45.839
we if you go to the Linus techtips Channel and you scroll down a little bit

00:43:44.079 --> 00:43:50.720
Techquickie is right there right there you can watch the videos right there

00:43:47.440 --> 00:43:53.680
yeah but the the reality is that the way

00:43:50.720 --> 00:44:01.240
that YouTube distributes video to your subscribers is heavily Al algorithm

00:43:56.839 --> 00:44:03.119
based B such that if you know half of

00:44:01.240 --> 00:44:07.960
our viewers weren't interested in Channel Super Fun let's say every time

00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:13.400
this this Linus Media Group Channel dumped a Channel Super Fun video out it

00:44:11.040 --> 00:44:16.760
would increase viewer fatigue and YouTube would stop Distributing our

00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:21.480
videos and recommending them to people across the platform as much yeah the

00:44:18.680 --> 00:44:26.200
more focused your channel is the more likely you are to be picked up by the

00:44:23.480 --> 00:44:30.599
algorithm and shared and Skyrocket perfect examples of this that we've seen

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

00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:42.400
or the pneumatic thing yes you crushing thing

00:44:39.720 --> 00:44:46.480
or someone like techrax okay you watch a techrax video you watch a what's inside

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

00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:55.760
of creative Manner and a guy and his kid

00:44:53.880 --> 00:44:59.800
cutting something open and looking at what's inside it and that allows

00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:04.760
channels like that to experience the kind of explosive growth that we For

00:45:02.720 --> 00:45:11.000
Better or For Worse never will because we try to tackle a broad broad variety

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

00:45:14.720 --> 00:45:21.160
Tech tips it would hurt us in a huge way

00:45:18.400 --> 00:45:25.839
I mean we experienced recently a a big drop in per video viewership that turned

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

00:45:28.119 --> 00:45:34.400
were below viewer expectations in terms of the interest level and all of a

00:45:32.680 --> 00:45:40.280
sudden our new videos as far as we could tell we're getting delivered to maybe

00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:42.240
60% as many people and uh that's why

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

00:45:43.960 --> 00:45:50.720
playing what else um okay lots of

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

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

00:46:01.319 --> 00:46:11.079
like be UPF front like what happened with Dennis yeah okay so uh Dennis

00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:12.559
wasn't working here um for a long period

00:46:11.079 --> 00:46:20.119
of time actually um basically what happened and

00:46:16.800 --> 00:46:21.359
it comes back to uh my first

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

00:46:25.680 --> 00:46:32.319
yes um and didn't clarify exactly how

00:46:29.240 --> 00:46:35.319
long his Canadian work permit was valid

00:46:32.319 --> 00:46:35.319
for

00:46:36.079 --> 00:46:41.880
um and uh anyway so his Canadian work

00:46:40.359 --> 00:46:48.599
permit expired so he had fortunately he still

00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:53.920
had visitor Visa status so he didn't actually have to like leave permanently

00:46:51.319 --> 00:47:02.079
leave the country and go back to Taiwan but um Dennis has been gone uh while

00:46:58.720 --> 00:47:06.480
we've been going through a very very

00:47:02.079 --> 00:47:09.440
long tedious process that uh anyone who

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

00:47:13.160 --> 00:47:19.960
has to go through and it's called an lmia it's a labor market impact

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

00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:30.160
for the position that we want to hire in this case we want to hire Dennis

00:47:27.520 --> 00:47:36.240
that it will not affect Canadians who are equally qualified who are also

00:47:33.040 --> 00:47:39.920
looking for that job or that those

00:47:36.240 --> 00:47:44.280
applicants would not be suitable for us

00:47:39.920 --> 00:47:47.280
um so that whole process took about six

00:47:44.280 --> 00:47:50.599
months because we actually began it long

00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:56.240
before uh Dennis's work permit expired

00:47:50.599 --> 00:48:02.119
and um as of I believe it was uh as of

00:47:56.240 --> 00:48:05.240
Friday last week um I had was it Friday

00:48:02.119 --> 00:48:08.359
last week last week I had an interview

00:48:05.240 --> 00:48:10.480
with um with an agent who was reviewing

00:48:08.359 --> 00:48:14.200
finally like it took months after it was submitted for anyone to even look at it

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

00:48:18.520 --> 00:48:24.040
but thanks to ivonne's diligence because

00:48:22.040 --> 00:48:30.559
she documented freaking everything like the agent was like why didn't you hire

00:48:26.400 --> 00:48:34.760
this guy who applied and Ivon was

00:48:30.559 --> 00:48:37.119
like okay we emailed him on this date he

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

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

00:48:46.160 --> 00:48:53.079
diligence effective November 1st I

00:48:49.440 --> 00:48:55.799
believe yeah Dennis is back at lus Media

00:48:53.079 --> 00:49:01.160
Group so there you have it it has been extraordinarily stressful for us because

00:48:58.359 --> 00:49:06.559
Dennis is as you guys know and I'm sure can appreciate an extremely valuable

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

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

00:49:13.319 --> 00:49:18.640
anything but like to me this kind of

00:49:16.640 --> 00:49:24.079
thing is very important it cost us many thousands of dollars um to go through

00:49:20.839 --> 00:49:27.400
this process um in order to make sure

00:49:24.079 --> 00:49:30.480
that Dennis could not only get get his

00:49:27.400 --> 00:49:33.319
work permit to work here but um it's

00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:37.640
also probably the last one of the last steps um for him to get his permanent

00:49:35.839 --> 00:49:43.359
residence and officially become a Canadian so um that's that's been that's

00:49:40.920 --> 00:49:49.640
been really exciting for for me taian number one and for him so yeah there you

00:49:46.160 --> 00:49:51.799
go that is what we have been the Journey

00:49:49.640 --> 00:49:55.920
of Dennis has been very interesting very quiet about and uh it's actually it

00:49:54.280 --> 00:50:02.359
feels good to get it out there because like

00:49:57.760 --> 00:50:03.839
oh I've addressed on like my thing but

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

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

00:50:10.559 --> 00:50:17.040
close oh man was it close um what else

00:50:14.240 --> 00:50:21.079
we got for topics today uh sure there's something

00:50:18.440 --> 00:50:24.839
wow Microsoft and Apple oh yeah we haven't even talked about the Microsoft

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

00:50:27.720 --> 00:50:35.400
is more than enough and you know what considering Vine's Auto

00:50:31.960 --> 00:50:38.160
Loop that might be true yeah there could

00:50:35.400 --> 00:50:45.160
be some pretty creative uh pretty creative x-rated Vines I'm sure yeah I

00:50:42.160 --> 00:50:48.160
mean many banner ads for pornographic

00:50:45.160 --> 00:50:48.160
sites are basically

00:50:48.559 --> 00:50:57.280
Vines you really think about it PornHub has promised to restore Vine to its not

00:50:53.559 --> 00:50:57.280
safe for work Glory

00:50:58.119 --> 00:51:02.640
was there like Nazi for work stuff on Vines yeah okay yeah yeah and then they

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

00:51:06.480 --> 00:51:11.160
of Vine in 10 seconds or less um oh man

00:51:09.799 --> 00:51:15.799
that's funny all right let's talk about the MacBook Pro so the uh original

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

00:51:17.400 --> 00:51:25.440
forget yeah so browse web on projector you guys are full of crap yeah 22% of

00:51:23.280 --> 00:51:30.440
you 22% of you projector sails go through the roof everyone starts making

00:51:27.799 --> 00:51:33.119
them gigantic load of garbage everyone watches my dorm room Tech video and

00:51:31.720 --> 00:51:38.000
they're like wow yeah everything in this video makes sense now okay are you app

00:51:35.079 --> 00:51:40.599
fatigued 78% of you saying yes although I have to take these results with a

00:51:39.160 --> 00:51:45.920
grain of salt because you guys are a bunch of freaking Liars no dude 22% are

00:51:43.280 --> 00:51:50.240
not app fatigued and are watching this on a projector well projectors you can't

00:51:47.799 --> 00:51:54.640
install apps on projectors bogus unless you had an LG Smart projector oh

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

00:52:02.920 --> 00:52:08.880
touch strip along the top that replaces

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

00:52:10.440 --> 00:52:18.040
has ever come up the art lebedev Optimus keyboard was the first one to have this

00:52:14.960 --> 00:52:19.839
idea OLED displays behind every key and

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

00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:28.880
outside of concept art but uh that's like what got me interested in keyboard

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

00:52:30.319 --> 00:52:38.000
they they officially give a crap about laptops again but they don't seem to

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

00:52:43.040 --> 00:52:51.640
not for professionals as far as I can tell but this this raises a lot of

00:52:47.520 --> 00:52:54.599
questions for me this here because the

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

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

00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:10.720
isn't working a laptop dock why is my scroll considering the USB-C ports of

00:53:08.280 --> 00:53:20.720
this thing has woo those are expensive oh man every 13in MacBook Pro has no

00:53:17.760 --> 00:53:28.640
dedicated GPU I'm sorry are you kidding me 20 2550

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

00:53:31.839 --> 00:53:39.880
apple is the company pre that whips out the GPU performance slide pure four them

00:53:37.920 --> 00:53:48.440
every time they release a new iPad or an iPhone and talks about the importance of

00:53:43.880 --> 00:53:50.599
GPU heterogeneous compute for for for

00:53:48.440 --> 00:53:56.920
the performance of future Computing devices I mean this can produce graphics

00:53:53.559 --> 00:53:59.880
and then Intel Iris Graphics 550 and

00:53:56.920 --> 00:54:06.640
then builds a professional product that goes all the way up to

00:54:03.559 --> 00:54:09.680
$2500 Us doll hold on no we're onca

00:54:06.640 --> 00:54:11.640
we're onca so let's be cognizant of that

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

00:54:13.079 --> 00:54:22.520
with the US prices all the way up to

00:54:16.880 --> 00:54:26.520
$2,000 with eight gigs of RAM and no

00:54:22.520 --> 00:54:28.359
graphics card and not a single typ a USB

00:54:26.520 --> 00:54:33.000
Port I'm sold no one will ever need more than 8 gigs of

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

00:54:35.280 --> 00:54:41.799
need to so let's look at the 15inch which you

00:54:39.319 --> 00:54:45.200
could make the argument is more of a is more of a professional great do they

00:54:43.440 --> 00:54:48.559
even have quad cores holy crap no I missed that they don't even have dual

00:54:47.440 --> 00:54:53.000
they don't even have quad core processors no one needs more than two

00:54:50.520 --> 00:54:55.799
cores two cores 8 gigs of RAM like anything above that is you're just

00:54:54.559 --> 00:54:59.280
compensating I don't even understand what this product is compensator call it

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

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

00:55:06.480 --> 00:55:13.240
so basically Apple's given up on because my whole thing with apple is that so

00:55:10.880 --> 00:55:17.920
much of their marketing in the past has been around selling what people want to

00:55:15.200 --> 00:55:21.920
be and selling what people want to do versus what they are and what they can

00:55:19.440 --> 00:55:27.119
do so like an apple commercial is full of like all the amazing like videos that

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

00:55:29.319 --> 00:55:35.960
population that creates any kind of video that anyone anywhere would want to

00:55:32.920 --> 00:55:37.640
watch Austin Evans I'm sorry Austin

00:55:35.960 --> 00:55:42.440
Evans yeah sure I'm actually like looking for I guess are you doing a

00:55:39.160 --> 00:55:44.160
review of yes I am you are okay yeah

00:55:42.440 --> 00:55:47.160
I'll look forward to your video too

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

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

00:55:57.799 --> 00:56:02.280
like seeing how many type C's they had

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

00:56:05.079 --> 00:56:11.359
is that I Without Really realizing what I had done because I didn't watch the

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

00:56:13.240 --> 00:56:18.200
ordered a dual core 13inch MacBook Pro

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

00:56:23.839 --> 00:56:30.799
rant about how Apple could possibly

00:56:26.880 --> 00:56:33.680
believe that dual core is pro for

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

00:56:35.280 --> 00:56:39.960
was talking about before but four Thunderbolt 3 ports four Thunderbolt

00:56:38.760 --> 00:56:45.000
what could I possibly need four Thunderbolt 3 ports for that I can run

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

00:56:49.400 --> 00:56:55.799
plug that in don't buy one of those

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

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

00:57:05.760 --> 00:57:13.079
believe the iPhone comes with a lightning to USBC connector no it

00:57:09.799 --> 00:57:16.039
doesn't so you you could literally walk

00:57:13.079 --> 00:57:20.559
out of an Apple store without being able to plug your iPhone into your but

00:57:18.200 --> 00:57:27.119
remember Apple's Vision Apple has the courage to do away with wires but not

00:57:24.799 --> 00:57:30.599
but not the courage to have wir charging or the ability to plug their own

00:57:29.240 --> 00:57:36.119
products into each other what happened to like the insanely cohesive hard to

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

00:57:38.559 --> 00:57:44.559
don't even work well properly you have to get an adapter to plug your phone

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

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

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

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

00:58:02.119 --> 00:58:08.720
about right now okay so right right I wanted to talk I wanted to talk about

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

00:58:11.400 --> 00:58:16.520
dual core laptop for like $3,000 can

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

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

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

00:58:28.559 --> 00:58:43.200
you need it gets even worse okay so the 15 in has whopping radon Pro 450

00:58:35.280 --> 00:58:47.760
Graphics oh dang for 2400 to 2800

00:58:43.200 --> 00:58:48.880
us dang two gigs of vram hell yeah I

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

00:58:50.960 --> 00:58:58.920
you you know five at least Thunderbolt Thunderbolt three ports you need that

00:58:55.160 --> 00:59:01.559
fifth one dude you got to have it I uh I

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

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

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

00:59:10.280 --> 00:59:16.000
through all of those ports to charge this has got to be the stupidest

00:59:14.280 --> 00:59:19.039
thing I've ever said but like does it dynamically know if one of them is

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

00:59:22.359 --> 00:59:28.640
did not watch the keynote okay so it's possible that there's actually a

00:59:26.760 --> 00:59:32.559
dedicated charging port I'm not sure okay I'll have to look again like I

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

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

00:59:38.559 --> 00:59:45.240
I don't think so I've never tried it should be correctly should be correctly

00:59:42.119 --> 00:59:47.559
managed um so yeah I color me not

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

00:59:50.720 --> 00:59:56.680
I love the idea of the dynamically

00:59:53.880 --> 01:00:02.520
reconfigurable function row I think that is a step forward and

01:00:00.319 --> 01:00:10.599
um is a great move um I am not a fan of the io but hey

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

01:00:12.160 --> 01:00:17.440
charged through that I was wondering how they deal with the multiple ports yep um

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

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

01:00:24.400 --> 01:00:31.480
be this thin and give up having a decent

01:00:27.839 --> 01:00:33.880
GPU and in the case of the 13inch uh a

01:00:31.480 --> 01:00:37.319
GPU at all and a proper CPU you want know what's kind of funny

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

01:00:42.720 --> 01:00:48.559
a oh type oh type A I know oh thanks

01:00:46.400 --> 01:00:54.599
that's the joke thanks thank

01:00:50.240 --> 01:00:56.760
you single Ty have you seen his hair

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

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

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

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

01:01:10.480 --> 01:01:17.599
oh but it's like mostly yeah that's good that's looks

01:01:14.760 --> 01:01:21.640
good Taiwan number one Taiwan number one Taiwan number one so uh well by the way

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

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

01:01:28.400 --> 01:01:35.400
surface studio all right so we didn't get to see

01:01:32.079 --> 01:01:37.960
this so we wanted to go to the launch

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

01:01:40.599 --> 01:01:47.440
to them they they gave us way more notice than that okay but we were just

01:01:44.280 --> 01:01:49.920
in a situation where you were like you

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

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

01:01:56.319 --> 01:02:02.720
know that it was going to be like a ball

01:01:59.559 --> 01:02:04.039
like super NDA I'm sure wer allowed to

01:02:02.720 --> 01:02:08.000
say anything they were like you should really go it's like right up your alley

01:02:05.839 --> 01:02:13.520
but then the only picture that I had about it said like an update for Windows

01:02:10.920 --> 01:02:16.480
or something or like the future of Windows I think it was the future of

01:02:14.880 --> 01:02:20.119
Windows the rumor was that it was going to be about Windows and then yeah and

01:02:18.160 --> 01:02:23.960
then there was a rumor at the exact same time that was about another just

01:02:21.799 --> 01:02:30.920
software update to Windows so I was like uh okay so evidence that Microsoft

01:02:29.000 --> 01:02:35.240
understands what the word professional means yeah uh even though they didn't

01:02:32.960 --> 01:02:42.359
even use it but they they are they they have Pro in creative

01:02:37.599 --> 01:02:45.039
process so there's that okay um this is

01:02:42.359 --> 01:02:49.440
a Ballin machine this thing is super cool it's expensive but to be clear I

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

01:02:52.520 --> 01:02:58.480
about the price of the MacBook Pro what I was complaining about was was that it

01:02:56.200 --> 01:03:03.160
has the word Pro in the name if you just called it

01:03:00.119 --> 01:03:04.720
MacBook and you just made it like a

01:03:03.160 --> 01:03:08.760
Macbook for like people who like MacBooks then sure great MacBook light

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

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

01:03:16.799 --> 01:03:23.079
that is not pro that is consumer that is

01:03:20.200 --> 01:03:31.480
very consumer grade um so anyway the surface Studio 28 in high resolution

01:03:27.440 --> 01:03:34.039
display quad core core i7 processor

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

01:03:38.279 --> 01:03:46.160
4 gig GTX 980m GPU which I'm guessing is

01:03:43.680 --> 01:03:50.799
only because of the long development cycle for a product like this I would

01:03:48.559 --> 01:03:56.760
expect a refresh at some point with some kind of Pascal based GPU they could get

01:03:52.880 --> 01:04:01.559
a 1060 in there TDP wise no problem up

01:03:56.760 --> 01:04:04.440
to 32 gigs of RAM thank you 980m I think

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

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

01:04:13.160 --> 01:04:19.200
970m but I think 1070 is too much more

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

01:04:20.799 --> 01:04:26.119
one down you might be right maybe I'm not

01:04:24.240 --> 01:04:30.160
sure though but then like you also said that the configurability of the tdps on

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

01:04:35.839 --> 01:04:41.119
uh it can handle uh srgb DC3 and Vivid

01:04:39.559 --> 01:04:48.000
color profiles it's a 10-point multitouch it's a 3x2 aspect ratio like

01:04:44.599 --> 01:04:51.599
again people who understand

01:04:48.000 --> 01:04:54.640
Pro know that the square display is

01:04:51.599 --> 01:04:56.640
actually pretty badass I would like to

01:04:54.640 --> 01:05:00.520
see them have an accompany display so that I could have a dual a dual display

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

01:05:03.039 --> 01:05:09.799
displays not that you can't expand the displays with something else but you

01:05:07.839 --> 01:05:13.119
can't do the same format you can't get the same there's some special

01:05:11.359 --> 01:05:17.359
functionality that comes with it one thing that is missing that I would have

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

01:05:20.319 --> 01:05:29.799
would have liked to see Thunderbolt um because it is becoming more of a thing

01:05:26.079 --> 01:05:32.799
on especially mobile PCS

01:05:29.799 --> 01:05:35.520
um but I still feel pretty darn good

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

01:05:37.160 --> 01:05:45.079
going to charge a bunch of money for

01:05:41.319 --> 01:05:48.319
a they've got this really cool like full

01:05:45.079 --> 01:05:52.559
down fantastic beautiful display

01:05:48.319 --> 01:05:55.440
powerful thing that uh kind of excites

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

01:05:59.240 --> 01:06:07.480
frustrating I think that that's an opportunity that Microsoft has to offer

01:06:04.000 --> 01:06:09.599
value on their Hardware products that um

01:06:07.480 --> 01:06:14.839
in my mind shouldn't cannibalize um shouldn't cannibalize

01:06:12.039 --> 01:06:19.039
Standalone office sales really that much they did it with the Surface RT for

01:06:16.520 --> 01:06:24.279
example where they're like this is an awful product what could we possibly do

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

01:06:27.240 --> 01:06:34.920
made for like ARM Windows that matters

01:06:30.640 --> 01:06:36.839
yeah yay yeah um so yeah I'm really

01:06:34.920 --> 01:06:40.240
looking forward to checking this out have we like thing are we getting one

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

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

01:06:45.160 --> 01:06:50.279
dial thing oh sorry Does it show the dial thing anywhere here the dial thing

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

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

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

01:07:00.079 --> 01:07:06.240
something on the bottom cuz I'm sure it's not magnets through the screen I

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

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

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

01:07:16.640 --> 01:07:22.559
situation they turn the dial and it rotates the image another situation it's

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

01:07:24.359 --> 01:07:29.240
while you like stroke paint with the other hand so they had gradient paint

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

01:07:31.799 --> 01:07:37.200
do the art stuff but I like physical control of things so being able to turn

01:07:35.760 --> 01:07:42.119
that to select your color would actually be pretty awesome I don't do the art

01:07:38.839 --> 01:07:43.279
stuff Luke lafrenier 2016 yeah it's

01:07:42.119 --> 01:07:47.720
probably pretty accurate have you seen me try to do anything that's artistic

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

01:07:51.119 --> 01:07:58.240
right so speaking of things that we do well ending the show

01:07:56.640 --> 01:08:01.440

01:08:00.240 --> 01:08:04.760
