all right guys welcome to the live stream we are exactly four minutes early
I was trying to make that five minutes early but I was a little bit late on that last minute um which makes us
exactly I think 35 or was it 50 minutes
earlier than last stream wow significant
Improvement pretty big Improvement first of all we're before on time so we're
early in general and then we're earlier than being like half an hour to 45
minutes late which is I don't know I think that's pretty good personally
I know that's just me we have some pretty cool topics first two are the BBC
says that ISP should assume that uh any
heavy internet V or VPN users sorry are
pirates so apparently we we we both learned today that we're we're Pirates
yes I wish I had my old pirate shirt from packs five years ago that would
that would work perfectly um the ncta says four megabytes per second should be
enough to be considered broad Broadband which is like Terri un fortunate really
terrible just sad it's September so we have mobile mobile announcements of the
butt we'll talk about that later also we have some pretty serious rumors about
900 series and video graphics cards um
which we we all know when it's like this level of rumors they're probably pretty
close to True EXA so we'll talk about those later on as well
I think we should have a new intro for us where we both actually properly carry
the coach instead of having that would
beun take too long to develop but it would be pretty
cool like up first up we have mod
24 there we go first up we have mod 24
it's on September 18th as you can see there starting at 600 p.m. and it is a
24-hour competition where there will be three teams competing tomorrow sptify
things and it'll like I said it'll last 24 hours and only one team will win Lis
and I will be streaming it the entire time so if we manage to make it through
without dying it should be a pretty interesting stream and if we don't
manage to make it through and we end up dying then it will be an extremely
interesting stream so be sure to tune in and check that out on the 18th which is
pretty soon actually and then next up our next sponsor is linda.com where you
can learn pretty much freaking anything I know Taran here at Works us it uses it
to learn uh Premiere because apparently he didn't know enough when we first
hired him great um and if you especially
if you're a high school student that wants to go to postsecondary education
for programming I would extremely highly suggest linda.com check out linda.com
wow to sign up and I believe if I can
find this um yeah if you go to linda.com
wow you get a 7-Day free trial and plans are about 25 bucks a month
it's a pretty good deal back us that's actually not too bad for what you get
it's pretty cool and like I said it's it's it's good for programmers but to
the news of the show do you want to jump into Samsung Gear VR and Samsung Note 4
immediately or jump into other stuff we we could jump into that I think you you
should probably talk about the VR I can talk about the Note 4 okay so I tried um
gear VR a lot of you guys saw my video on that I was actually pretty impressed
um with how well it looked but I was a
little bit worried with the demos so to go into more detail than the video which
you guys should check out um just Samsung Gear VR Linus techtips on
YouTube you'll find it uh it's it's
actually fairly nicely built although the the built-in navigation controls
while they work are very odd because if you want to use it to fire you're going
to be like tapping the side of your head
like this to Fire and I don't know of any gun personally that you shoot from
your face so uh
and like I know you don't shoot a gun like this either but it feels more
natural so I would highly suggest using like a Bluetooth controller and
Bluetooth headset because the speaker on the back as well like it exists and I
didn't really get to try it while I was there because it was so loud but that's
inherently a problem right it was fairly loud while I was there so I didn't
really get to try it because I couldn't hear it it may be loud where you're
trying to use the device me yeah exactly so I don't know I I was kind of hoping
considering they put that whole speaker pack there they would have just built in
uh retractable headphones and my my idea
when I first saw it I just assumed they did this cuz it would have been pretty cool was retractable like earbud style
headphones or in your style headphones and then have a plug-in that would
override so if you wanted to have your own headphones or just have Bluetooth
overrided if you wanted to have bluetooth headphones but apparently not
they just went with the speaker so this is an industry that's evolving
constantly though yeah like the VR industry is changing incredibly fast
incredibly quick so considering how long ago DK2 came out mhm and had a Note 3
screen and then now this has a note 4 screen and a massive Improvement that
basically now to add on to the Note 4 screen the thing that has me worried
battery life in the industry I work in which I can work 18 hour day sometimes
battery life is a huge problem yeah and obviously this is not something you're
working with in industry but you have to survive off your Note 4's battery do I
have that correct yep I find that to be a flaw that's now there's no wires
attached though so there's a huge benefit on the other side of that yeah
no it is and I I did bring this up in the video you're you're attach
to the note in more ways than you would necessarily want to be one thing is very
cool because no cables like you're talking about you can freely spin around
which is interesting for the demos that they showed at the event right because
like one of the demos that they had was you're you're underwater and there's all these crazy fish and sea animals and
stuff going around you but you're fixed in a spot so you can sit there and spin
and look at all these different things around you and it's really cool and now
that's doable with a DK2 from Oculus but
you're going to be constant L like holding on to the cable and lifting it
like above you and like making sure you can spin and like managing this thing
which completely breaks immersion yeah exactly so it's cool that you can just
sit there and spin but then at the same time there is a limited spinning
duration I guess because the battery on the phone right it's if you're playing a
game it's not going to last forever now there's counterarguments to this in
saying that you're probably not going to want to stay in this not super well
refined yet VR environment forever because Oculus DK to gear VR all this
kind of stuff is still not there yet it's still a little bit jarring so while
I can stay in VR environments for quite a long time because I've been toying
with them for a very long time especially if someone's new to it it's
it's maybe not something you're going to want to do for a massive amount uh of
time in per session so you could charge your phone between that but it's still a
little bit I don't know the other thing is you don't plug it into a computer so
you don't have this massive Powerhouse powering it all you have your
phone so it's a note 4 is Beefy it is
but it's not a desktop it's not a desktop so and uh that's going to limit
what you can actually play and while you could do some like desktop streaming
stuff um it's still not great and that that's why I said in my
video as well hopefully they partner with like steam or NVIDIA or someone to
get a really really good version of streaming like they have for The Shield
or The Shield tablet because those are very good but the current solutions for
streaming to a phone while they're pretty good are not really fully there
and it's going to have to be amazing for it to be VR ready right cuz you can't
manage like if you turn your head and there's a little bit of lag it like
makes you feel sick right I've experienced it before it's not fun I
tried doing a remote streamy thing with some weird ghetto cardboard setup thing
that I did didn't end up making a video about it because it totally failed um it
was no good so yeah you're attached to the processor
but there will be some interesting stuff like they're bringing portal or I think
they already did bring portal to Android right so you be able to play portal uh
you can play halflife I Believe halflife 2 even you can play and it's weird
because it's third person but you can play
GTA interesting the original GTA were third person right yeah um it's it's
weird because it's third person but it's
still kind of cool because it's it's
like simulating this massive monitor I I don't like how they describe it CU
they're like oh yeah it's like you're sitting right in front of like a 180 in
TV and I'm like it's not really the same thing at all sorry um but it is kind of
it is an interesting different cool way to play but that would be more of a I'm
going to sit here and not turn at all
and just like stare straight forward and use my controller to manage all the
actual camera movement and then at that point like why aren't you just using the
DK2 and playing the new new GTA when it comes out in a super long time a super
long best segue ever I wasn't even preparing for that at all okay we we'll
jump back for note four that's fine the segue was so beautiful we have to go
forward with this I had to take advantage it's perfect
so uh they they they announced GTA 5
release dates for NextGen and PC and I
was like oh sweet we're finally going to know when it's coming obviously expecting holiday season surprised it
wasn't announced at P but they're GTA so it probably doesn't really matter mhmh
Xbox One and PS4 are getting them on November 18th pretty much exactly when I
expected it to happen but that does not include the PC version I'm sure twitch
chat is already freaking out about this because I'm sure everybody knows um oh I
didn't launch the thing because I'm super dumb this needs to be public there
we go ah okay that's okay got that done um
the PC version is not releasing until January 27th of next
year yeah that you know that's when everyone's trying to make their money
back from Christmas that's when everyone's kind of you know reeling in
the spending awkward time it it is it is
sales drop incredibly in January 27th there might be a peak because of all the
different PC users I know there's a big modding Community behind GTA a lot of
the older GTA titles you know they get they get modded incredibly while we're
at Pax the mutual friend showed us the uh a video of where someone basically
implemented watch dogs that was so cool into GTA it was incredible incredibly
well done definitely look that up I don't have it in my notes or anything
but uh GTA 4 I believe it was GTA 4
Watchdogs mod it's done really really well mindblowing just incredibly well
done like I might actually go mod it to be able to do that because then it would
probably run better than Watch Dogs anyways uh but yeah he used uh ice
enhance and a few other mods and then his own stuff and made the Watchdog mod
and it's incredibly well done it's if
you weren't paying a ton of attention you might almost think it's Watch Dogs
because of how many different things you can do like the the like what do you
even call them elevating roadblock things perfect description yeah but that
was the one of the first things in the video so you know you're watching The Right video If this happens but yeah
then traffic he can hack everything it's it's really you can you can do camera
hacking which I didn't expect to work at all and you can jump from camera to
camera you can go prone which I don't believe is something that exists in GTA
you can go prone because you can can do that on Watch Dogs yeah and he he shows
going up on top of a train and going prone under one of the the overpass
things which I don't know that's pretty interesting now jumping backwards with a
much worse segue uh Note 4 so the Note 4
um I've been really excited for this phone I've been talking to you about this phone there's been lots of rumors
about this phone it's the flagship and the note series is really it's the
really it's a real big hitter these days you know the Note 2 um kind of wasn't a
huge deal um there wasn't really anything super special about it the note
three is really when I feel and I I think you would agree that the note
really came into its own and it really separated itself from the pack the Note
4 is continuing that uh the S Pen has
incredibly upgraded features with how it can detect with the pressure and uh you
can write with different kind of like pens it's supposed to feel much more
intuitive yeah I'd have to go to you and comment on that cuz it's i' I've used it
a small amount they didn't have a lot of text examples there which was kind of
lame when they're like a super awesome pen which is great for selecting text
which we don't have right okay um but it
it did seem better another problem was that they didn't have a note three there
to directly compare right so like I was doing it I was like this feels good I
don't know um so yeah I think it was better well it just shows their
dedication to the S Pen um to their stylist built into their phone cuz the
Note 2 it really wasn't anything special the Note 3 it came with a bunch of cool
little features I know my mom our mom actually uses it quite a bit and then
they're continuing it on with the Note 4 um another thing is the big battery it's
got a 3,220 milliamp battery so again they're keeping the battery up again
processor as well uh quad core Snapdragon uh running at 2.7 GHz that's
the North American launch I believe the European launch is an octacore um to
double check it and actually write that um write that one down the main camera
is a 16 megapixel with the rear cam uh or sorry with the rear camera the main
camera being a 16 megapixel the front-facing camera being a
2.7 uh megapixel got a Super AMOLED display gorilla Gorilla Glass 3 and it's
got a 515 pixel density with uh that makes it
1440 by 2560 now question I want to
throw at you was you and lonus talk a lot about the resolution of phones
that's something I've noticed on a lot of the WAN shows um that I've been
watching and the differences and you know 720 possibly being a little too low
um but some of the ceilings being a little too high where do you think the Note 4 Falls in that uh again problem
being I didn't have a lot of comparison they didn't have a Note 3 there that I could compare against uh my phone is a
Moto X not the greatest to compar in
that field um so I needed to pull it out
of that situation which is why at the end of the review I said I need more hands on time with it but I'm kind of
thinking because it is such a massive phone at that scale Maybe could make a
difference right so I'm thinking at that screen size maybe it matters I'm not
sure I need to get it back here where I can actually compare it against other
phones I do know in your video you were saying it was one of the nicest screens you've looked at it looks really good
but then that isn't necessarily tied to resolution right that could just be tied
to it being a really nice looking Super AMOLED panel that's true uh because it
did look really good it did look very vibrant uh I liked the saturation all
that kind of stuff it was a beautiful screen I just don't know if all of that's actually tied to resolution so I
I'd love to get it back here I know the second you line it up against a G3
you'll be like yep note looks a lot better because G3 sacrificed all the
like nice color saturation all that kind of stuff that they could have had for
the resolution and it seems like uh the Note 4 did not they got that resolution
in there but then they also didn't sacrifice much for it which is great and
one thing that people have brought up is the lower battery life thing there's
pretty simple tricks you can do by downloading apps that I don't even think
you need to root your phone for which can change your resolution down right
and you can even have like uh some triggering apps that will trigger based
on different events launch the app that
um reduces the resolution on your phone once you hit a different battery
threshold level yeah I've heard I haven't used any person but I've heard
of that yeah yeah so there are ways around that of course it's not super
elegant and I think it would be cool if they built that type of functionality
into the phone this is really random but greenify have you heard of greenify have
you used that at all no the same guy who showed us the GTA video showed me
greenify greenify I'm just going to throw this in here for two seconds it's a great little app uh it's a free app
but what it does is it controls the apps on your phone now I use this in my
tablet and my truck um and it's really helped me with battery life um I think
we might actually do a video about that coming up but I'll I'll show you how it
works but it's a great app if you're having battery life problems it controls
your other apps controls Facebook Twitter any of those apps and it won't
allow them um to basically wake up while they're in asleep mode great little app
um little now back to the note the odd thing about
the note compared to the Note 3 and something that I really liked about the Note 3 was that it had USB 3 right it
was an attachment that allowed you to have a USB 3 connector or a USB 2 yeah
it was either or um it was I thought extremely well done apparently Samsung
didn't think so because the Note 4 does not have that feature yeah I I think a
lot of it was public perception uh people found it one ugly they didn't
like it because it was just this giant hole in the bottom
and you had to have the big cable but then you didn't
have but I think there was also a lot of misconception on that I don't think a
lot of people realized that it was backwards compatible and you could use your old USB 2.0 cables that could be
true public perception I think a large amount of it was public perception so
they were like okay if no one wants it anyways then we'll just go back to we'll
just go back despite it being a much faster medium uh and I think another
thing is it's a lot of people are doing file transfer wirelessly anyways that's
true so updates and everything yeah
while you're gaining uh wired speed a
lot of people are just going to transfer files between their computer and whatnot
wirelessly so makes sense yeah I think I
think no one really cared and the people that did care didn't want it so they
just ditched it although I would have liked to still see it there but I don't
really care either because I'm one of those people that does everything
wirelessly so and until they come up with that um I'm I'm going to segue
again right here watch are you ready I'm ready until they come up with that power
USB power to oh yeah the new something higher power yeah then I would be like
okay I can see them moving off the USB 2.0 standard so if we can find this
article in here wherever it is I segue without being perhaps if they had a USB
3.1 type c there we
go um so real pictures have started surfacing of USB 3.1 type-c which is
absolutely fantastic Peak throughput goes through 10 GBS per second from the
5 GB per second of 3.0 uh which is essentially 1.25 GB per
second which is pretty cool and USB power delivery 2.0 which not enough
people care about I don't know why like
I made a video on 100 watt USB cables at pack not packs CES 2014 yeah this year
and like no one cared and should care
and then every time we talk about it everyone's like uh and I'm like this is
such a big deal it it is really a huge deal um USB
continues to be an amazing thing I don't know how
else to say that I'm put that in better vocabulary if you read the article the
article on uh Linus Tech the USB 31 by Good Bites posted by Good Bites is an
excellent article it's got a ton of really good pictures you guys should check it out um but it's continuing USB
is a huge deal again to refer to the tablet in my truck I have it uh attached
through USB it it's basically through a modified cigarette lighter it just
slowly trickles power um to my tablet while it's up so a big thing for me is
making sure it doesn't lose any P power um while my truck's off and that's a big
thing I have to focus on with this kind of connector I could lose so much more
power and make all of that back it's it's really would even be that big of a
deal reversible too which is super reversible we're just going to stare at
the guys like details of his skin on this photo because I think they focused
on the wrong thing but it's cool
no no worries pretty cool I'm excited for that
especially the power thing I don't even ah as long as stuff works because that
that's one of the reasons why people get a little bit confused when I talk about I'm going to scroll down to a better
picture of the connector there um people get confused when I talk about why I
like USB 2.0 points ports on motherboards and then I was trying to
defend myself and people were like oh no it always works then I went to go work on a motherboard and none of the USB 3.0
point worked and then I had to reformat this laptop cuz I put Windows 7 on it
and they're all USB 3.0 ports and the
only way I could get data onto it when I reform it to Windows 7 was through the
the disc tray because it didn't have an Ethernet driver and none of the USB
ports worked and I was like this is why did it feel ancient did it feel like
you're going back in time it was so weird I had to find discs cuz usually
back in the day it was like oh whatever got spindles all over Place spindles for days spind for days now it's like I
don't I haven't even tried to use one of these in a long time my desktop didn't
even have a drive so I had to go find an external optical drive thing so I could
actually I haven't had a drive in my desktop I want to say for six years yeah
I you know maybe not quite six maybe five but you know I remember one time I
had to I had to drive all the way here to borrow your uh cdrom USB I think you
might still have that I probably do yeah cuz I I just had to
I had to I had to go to the office and get that one because I was like I can't
find my old I think it was LG I haven't seen it in years it's definitely LG and
it's definitely in my pile of computer stuff awesome um you can see it in the
old mineral oil computer video that I have not that I used it there but I had
it plugged in because I was like oh it looks cool when you you built
that was that the Vista age or was that
ke Vista so you still you know you still
kind of needed it right so it was still helpful exactly through dayto day so the
next topic which we're going to have a
Twitter Poll for and I'm going to get this one properly on my screen at the
start of the topic while you're doing that I just
want to give a shout out because we're going to be mentioning everyone who posted in the lius tech tips Forum I
obviously have seen the Forum since the beginning and amazing post on this forum
like you guys should really Pat yourselves on the back I'm kind of a
weird line of tech edition kind of free
contractor for graphics card but um so
from A View from the outside like you guys doing amazing job and I mean you guys as the guys posting on there I lurk
I take a bunch of information and uh sorry I digress but really good post
it's it's really good and we have a post this is from Jericho and this is a very
good post but we have a post coming up which I'm going to have to specifically call out for I think our iPhone segment
the iPhone one is was written crazy well by Victoria Secret but we'll get there
in a second this post was by Jericho so AT&T and Verizon which are a part of let
me get the name here the national cable and Telecom telecommunications
Association or ncta which is yeah AT&T
and Verizon have filed documents to the FCC trying to say that Broadband is
already fast enough and claiming that 4 megabits per second or
0.5 megabytes a
second brutal should remain uh should remain the standard for Broadband the
FCC has been considering raising the definition of broadband to 10 megabits
per second which they should um from and
its original definition was 200 kilobits
per second which was up to 4 megabits per second in 2010 that was a lot of
megabits per second that I just said um streaming HD content isn't even really
possible at 4 megabits per second and I
am I'm not surprised that they're doing
this but my heart is sad it's it makes
me think and I I I can't even do the quote because I'm gonna get it wrong but
the Bill Gates quote about you know 256
bits or he's he claims that that never actually even happened really I think it
was like what was it 56 kilobytes of RAM will be all you ever need or something
it's something I can't remember the quote Yeah he he claims it never actually happened or it was taken out of
context or something I don't remember what but but I feel like this is going to be the new one do you know what I
mean like this is going to be the extreme underestimate the undere exaggeration of
what we currently need and what we're going to need as everything is going on
online and just to segue a little bit I use Hangouts on my phone for my text
messaging app trying to explain to my mother and grandfather about how you can
have an SMS message and a Hangouts message and they're in the same thing
and one uses data and one like that was very difficult everything but my my
emphasis with that is everything is going online you know what I mean like
when we try to jump a a border we use the internet right everything is going
to the internet you know you can if you're a Seahawks fan you can download
if you're a Canucks fan any of these fans you can download packages to watch
their games online through your computer you can stream them you pay them a
specific fee instead of the cable company it's starting right everything
is going Netflix everything is going to broadband and we'll be talking about
that even more later on but this is just ridiculous this is painful it's stupid I
guess I'm streaming the stream which is fantastic I need to go back
to here here um I I I'm not surprised
they're doing it because I think what they're trying to do is keep the definition low so they can still charge
people a lot for a service that sounds
by its naming better than it is and part
of the problem is with a broad name like
Broadband um let me see here one second
yeah with a broad name like Broadband I had to say that sorry um it needs to
have its definition changed from time to time because the standard of what you're
going to do on the Internet is going to change we no longer look up well we
still do sometimes but like the Space Jam website is an example that I use all
the time uh let's look up Space Jam
here is this it yes the old school Space
Jam website which still runs this is not the kind of Internet that we're using
now these are still clickable images
with like random like this little spinny
thing right here like that's that that was super cool that was like the height
of difficult internet data but like we
don't do that anymore it's a lot harder people are trying to stream Netflix all
the time people are trying to stream high high quality YouTube videos YouTube
is streaming into trying to get up to 4K and stuff now we have 3200 people
streaming this show there exact streaming is very difficult to do on
your internet connection if you have Broadband at 0.5 megabytes per second
it's not going to be that great and especially when stuff like YouTube and
twitch are trying to get into 60fps streams the FPS uh is going to be a lot
more data than like like we we have a
video on this um the 792p WTF video
where I talk about how a GTX 480 a super old I think it's like fivey year old
graphics card it is a top tier graphics card but still a 5-year-old graphics
card is beating out modern consoles um I
I talk about in that video yeah I talk about the next gen consoles makes me
giggle sorry I talk about uh in that
video how it's much harder to ramp up
the FPS than the resolution so when they're running at 30 FPS 792p that's
really depressing that they couldn't just up to 1080p because it's really not
that hard what would have been hard for them to do is stay at 792p and jump to
60 FPS so that's a lot more data that
you're that you're pushing through way more
so you can't you can't just keep this
definition static I don't know how much we actually need to talk about this because I'm sure I'm just preaching to
the choir at this I like what you said though just to add one last thing on I
never thought of it as a money grab
right we we can set the standard to be this low if you want something
acceptable what we would consider what most people what everyone watching would
be consider to be acceptable you're going to have to pay here never really thought of that before that I think
that's the biggest Point yeah I I wouldn't be surprised if that's it um
because you see
uh it it's much easier for a company
that has to do deployments to increase
their infrastructure to try to stay stagnant right because then if they can
just keep pushing out the same service all the time then they can just take
subscription fees you're just stacking money you're just stacking money yeah
essentially so if they have to go around and upgrade all this
stuff that's just money out right it's just directly money out I don't know I
don't know hear you see this this could be an education thing too
if we can just teach people to start interpreting raw speeds instead of terms
that could help but then like Mom is
never going to want to figure out how fast in relation to what she's doing
these different speeds are she's always going to want to know oh broadband
connection I'm good that would be way more helpful for herly if it's not your
hobby you're not going to be as informed you know what I mean for us for a lot of
people watching this is your hobby you're very well informed for those that
you know your hobbies lies elsewhere yeah you know you're you're going to be
getting screwed by these companies um yeah I don't know
it's it's a sad topic that's that's all I really have to say it is depressing
and moving on to more depressing topics but kind of awesome at the same time top
websites have joined the internet slowdown day in symbolic protest of Fast
Lanes so if we can jump here to The Forum yet again
clicking on the scene that says Linus' screen is confusing when lonus is not
here um so a topic posted by Dietrich W
I hope I'm saying your name correct Le is showing how top websites join the
internet slow day we did not I'm sorry I wanted to I was very busy with my trip
down in Vegas um I was kind of hoping
that Mr Wizard was going to jump on that but I also didn't tell him to it was it
was a mess but I think enough of our
members go to enough websites that did
it that it was probably okay I know know that's not a very good excuse Netflix
did it I think Reddit did it which is huge yeah uh I wish I had a list here do
I have a list here of everyone that did uh yeah Reddit Vimeo Four Square
WordPress boing boing were among the major ones and you said Netflix did as
well which is pretty cool I don't actually know for a fact I didn't try it
but uh there was an announcement that I read that netfli said they were they
were joining so right uh where is it
here I wish I had metrics on how many
people emailed out due to that but the
the FCC website got a ton of comments
and emails and calls to different senators and stuff I'm not exactly sure
how American politics work but many things happened which should hopefully
help American politics I don't know basically that's about it join the
fastlane.com is a very I was just showing the doc again derp join the
fast.com this is this is a parody website which I don't know if you saw
this which is talking about um it's essentially pretending we're in
the future where there there is a fast
lane and there's all this bull crap I I didn't actually I wish I clicked this
link I'm I'm very interested it's pretty funny so so they they spoofed some
companies so there's video tube there's movie flicks and there's soundify
obviously instead of YouTube Netflix and Spotify so as you guys can see on here
soundify fast lane exclusive only available for Fast Lane subscribers uh
movie flick available 20 summer of
2018 uh which like you you get fast uh
essentially Netflix that's what they're trying to pretend they are uh titles but
then not everything is even available uh video tube you buy 500 megabytes of
priority streaming uh this is all super depressing stuff and obviously it might
be a little bit exaggerated once you get down to the prices I was
just waiting for you to scroll this is my favorite part yeah best deal extreme
$200 a month for 12 monthsa it's send unlimited emails
unlimited emails oh my God unlimited free download of The Fast laning client
which probably actually means 2,000 cuz every single time I see Unlimited on
anything there's fine print is like actually 2,000 so not unlimited at all
not even close there's definitely a cap which is very reachable
um it happens literally every month to like a lot of our subscribers uh yeah so
it's exaggerated but it's a really good point and I think I think it's it's
helpful to show off to people frag like a pro 15 bucks a month to get faster
Network speeds when you're playing games
like gross this is why we need net
neutrality to like take care of things
and make sure we don't all get completely screwed so again I don't have
a ton to add because American politics I don't really know it is very important
though and I have sent emails to FCC
people and stuff uh this was a while back I don't know if you can do it more
than once I should probably just do it again as maybe a different person or
something I didn't say that though you didn't hear that here um yeah I don't
know bad things we're going to move on to good things because things are
getting depressing what do you want to jump to I
don't know we have 900 series rumors may
not a bad idea it's kind of fun all right so Zotac GTX 970 and 980 prices
were leaked of course this is still kind of rumor mail level stuff um but
previous rumors had them at$ 3.99 for the 970 and $4.99 for the 980 and now
it's looking a little bit more extreme like the 980 being at around 700 to
$770 and the 970 being $430 to $500 um
but again these are rumors and one really big thing that I'm thinking about
which I've seen other people post so this isn't necessarily an original idea
I should bring this up rip I'm not usually the one that controls the screen
so it's very foreign for me to do this this was posted by Tech fanatic on the
Forum um our resident AMD awesome man
and I think a lot of it has to do with being being the first and leaking it and
I've heard somewhere that you can do pre-order so it's definitely going to be more
expensive if you're going to be able to pre-order we see that a lot of times with especially computer hardware where
in some Industries they're like $5 off if you pre-order or one really crappy
low grade skin that you're going to buy the other ones for anyways in a video
game um but in this one it's like no you pay more money so kind of unfortunate
I'm hoping that the price drops uh I know inidia was talking about how it's
supposed to be cheaper I'm hoping they weren't just saying how it would be cheaper for them to manufacture and
honestly I really expect that there's going to be pretty much no difference I
expect it to cost pretty much the exact same amount as this year's did I
wouldn't be surprised if the the tier grades cost the same amount as the
previous tier grades so a 980 will probably cost just as much as a 780 dead
why they skipped 800 oh and 300 I was confused enough
when they skipped 300 I'm like just why just why it's a name my buddy has a 460
I have a 260 is that massively better or
is that just like a normal amount better really kind of annoying I'm I'm
wondering you and I were actually speculating what what NVIDIA is going to
do yeah what are are they their number cap because
AMD not so great on the naming scheme not a fan it should not go 280 285 280X
that should never have been possible should not be a thing and I really hope
NVIDIA doesn't doesn't throw it under the bus we forgot to do a twist TW Blitz
Twitter Blitz Twitter Blitz we wanted to Twitter Blitz about um we're not going
to do it here actually we're going to do it on the desktop where it looks better
Twitter here we go so what we're talking about right now is the net neutrality
thing and um the 4 megabits per section
uh shouldn't be upped for Broadband so this guy says numbers on
net neutrality thing I'm not going to be clicking on very many links but this is fairly interesting you guys can't see
this very well here we go you guys can see it a little bit so 2, 39,500 people
took action 33,099 calls were made let try and
scroll down very small amounts uh there we go
2,679 to emails sent to Congress that's pretty intense
72236 4 comments filed to the FCC and
4.7 million comments filed since March 1st wow that's awesome good work
everyone but now we can't click on any more links because now the troll links
are just going to start exactly links are
done over no Rick asle uh at control alt
delete you know he got his Link in and it's it's over now good work at control
delete Ashley says four megabits per second is way too slow I think that's a
very accurate kind of General consensus someone else tweeted uh I want to get
his name here shoot I can't see it someone tweeted that his phone gets gets
better speeds it probably does it
probably does Cory Barnwell there we go Tommy Boy 5025 says there should not be
a set standard for Broadband as bandwidth is always increasing and
Broadband standards should move with the trend I completely agree um that's aces
in my book boy 5025 I think you already called them out fluid yeah fluid terms
should not be fixed they're fluid terms
it's literally in the name yep uh I don't know if that's actually the
official name for what they are but like it's it's not a static definition so it
shouldn't be a static definition that's what I'm trying to say uh another guy
confirming that 2 million people sent emails to Congress because the internet's slow day like how do they not
get this by now I it's money it's got to be America go
back to being land of the people claim what is rightfully
yours uh now if you buy out a Samsung
phone it's obviously more expensive no one should pay for a Samsung phone NEX
phone but when you get a plan like I do all the the time cuz I don't buy out my
phones cuz I'm not that balling we we've talked on the show before it it really
depends what's happening because if you're if you're jumping on a contract
that completely breaks the game if you're buying out of course I I don't
see anyone buying yeah I don't see anyone buy anything outside of like
Nexus OnePlus and maybe a motor maker phone so like a Moto X that's that's
pretty much maybe I'm wrong maybe there's something else in there I might be missing something I don't know anyone
who buys out a Samsung device yeah the
way I have mine the way my mom and dad have theirs the way my buddies had
theirs when they were grabbing S3s people are kind of splitting off now we had a big S3 rush in our group of
friends when it came out but uh yeah everyone seemed to grab one up but
they're all through contract and the contracts don't really change maybe
minorly you know maybe $50 or or nothing and that's on your startup for your
three years yeah so it kind of it's all different but uh yeah and I don't think
I can knock a mode anyways so moving on um
you know what just slow down the entire internet actually let's just kill it
it's the best option for them all I would prefer not I like my job yeah I
like the internets here here's the uh comment from Corey Barnwell that I
believe you read earlier my phone gets better speed than broadband that's just
like come on guys for most people four megabits per
second is fine Average Joe doesn't care about HD but improvements is always better especially for the future I don't
actually necessarily agree with you by the way you're awesome I met you at packs and that was actually really cool
but Average Joe is now watching Netflix
and Average Joe watching Netflix is going to tell when his screen goes and
looks more Pixy because Netflix jumps down a section because his internet
takes a tiny dip and he has crappy 4 megabit per second and probably isn't on
high def anyways and I know a lot of
Average Joe that are going to be watching Netflix on their TV are really
into the fact that they have a nice 1080p TV exactly and they're going to
notice with when their Netflix content looks way crappier than their other
content and they're going to want something more so I I don't actually
agree with you in this stance um because because of Average Joe watching so much
Netflix now if you go back a couple years see I can see where he's going
like I can see the idea behind um but
especially now with phones like you know you see all these Average Joe guys and I
know when I work with a lot of truckers who are just totally not in Tech at all
their phones are getting bigger and crazier and they like them you know what
I mean like when my my dad just picked up an S4 got it real cheap yeah would he
did not care about his phone he was telling me he wasn't going to go through with the deal if it wasn't you know if
it was too expensive he won't put it down he will not get off the phone cand
Crush Candy Crush that's not the only but he's playing a bunch of different
games and he's always like he's talking to it you know using Google now he's I
just bought him a CH cast yesterday you know what I mean he's using the Chromecast like he's all over it and uh
I think more and more people with the technology sitting in their hand you
know like got a background that when you swipe it changes blew her mind right
which is cool like she's happy I'm happy right everybody's happy but I think the
average Joe because of phones especially and because of Netflix like two things
basically television and the phone in their hands is becoming uh bigger
stronger devices which consume more inherently um I think the average Joe
staron talked about it we turned this blitz into a into a long discussion yeah
yeah we drove down camped out for the long battle um but yeah no it's the the
average Joe is starting to consume more and I think that ties back into a
comment that was said by someone else and by me earlier which is where it's a
fluid definition that's changing because what the average Joe is doing is fluid
and changing
uh I'm gon to go uh go the top I don't know how to
pronounce this name that's why I was kind of hovering above it
super cool but I don't know how to say that oh I'm going to say suin suin suin
d fuk fugang fugl he yeah too bad we get
a sound clip of him saying it yeah I have no sorry if I just butchered the
crap out of your name he says and that's why we don't like AT&T as a sponsor for
the show please jump on the Forum I think you'll be able to find the post
specifically through Linus's Twitter and he has a post talking about the
sponsorship thing way in there um because because lus will be reading
everything in that topic and we'll see where to go from there other than that
that's about all I have to say going up very slowly in the comments uh way more
notification no I shifted to the side here I'll move my laptop that you got a
room we're good uh I got 100 megabit
down and 5 megabit up I think IP should
really only stop should really stop only make a
synchron internet connection
avilable scroll down to the next one I
get way faster on my 4G than pile of crap 4 megabit per second that's
actually pretty Beast now I got a question for you and something that I
hope some of our viewers are wondering about because I've always wondered this cuz I've never done it have you ever
uploaded from your LTE phone we
did I don't remember what the results were because the stats it gives you are
insane and I just want to see if the stats actually measure up to real real
life experience but I guess that's one for another time but it's
it's I hear you again those are that'll
be Mega bit and a lot of times when you're doing file transfers the file
transfer is red in megabyte right so it doesn't feel like you're getting the
same you feel like you're getting jipped out but it's because there's that like 8X ratio between them because of like a
bit being a single I still pronounce it wrong and and mess them up I still I I
really got to tighten that down I noticed it in the it's a pet peeve for
me just because I've taken so many networking courses but I noticed it in
the intro I think oh did I do right bit
did um not a big deal poke plun uh says
I don't know what you get there in Vancouver but here in Edmonton 4 megabit
per se is considered value and um I hear
you the internet connections AR out here aren't fantastic either we have to pay a pretty hefty amount to get above that
but that doesn't mean that the definition should necessarily change just because the internet in Canada and
places like Australia I always have to call you guys out whenever we talk about
internet because it's horrible over there the next comment is actually
perfectly about Australia is it there we I'm I'm going to move down not to leave
you but keep talking about previous one um just because we are lagging behind
doesn't mean that the definition shouldn't change what people are trying
to do in our areas is still increasing
at the same rate we are getting these options that are available around the
world that's not necessarily true I was just going to say Netflix Netflix isn't
actually available everywhere no I think so is available around the world with
certain things like vpns which apparently makes you a pirate despite
paying for the service but whatever
um and and we the definition shouldn't
be held back by us just because our isps
are jerks and push people like Verizon out over the country when while I might
not necessarily be a huge fan of Verizon competition competition would have
helped and I was stoked for them coming in not because I would have switched to
their service but because hopefully our services would have either improved in
um their deployment so I would have been able to get a faster internet connection
or would have gone down in price I was hoping for honestly either one of those
um this is scary America is making Australian internet look good I don't
know if it's at that point yet I don't know because their internet connections
are still much faster in most places uh they're just not changing the
definition Australian internet's pretty bad man I know you're probably trying to
like give yourself a plus one but it's pretty bad
um a lot of people are just talking about using a VPN is not ation for badp
problems it may avoid IP filtering but doesn't solve the underlying problem I
completely agree with you that's not what I was trying to say I was just trying to say VPN so you could get
Netflix which is getting out of filtering um or allowing yourself to
actually buy the service or allowing yourself to get the American one which
usually has way more stuff on it I wasn't trying to say that you like yeah
that's that's not what I was trying to say I think we're done with Twitter Blitz for now that was like you said we
carved some trenches we did uh we dug deep we built fortresses we didn't
really Blitz we we we built a defensive line andow forward one we specifically
blitzed yes yeah yeah um but anyways
moving on I just I had forgotten that we had said we were going to do that
Twitter Blitz I'm going to jump down and do sponsor spots now because our
sponsors are awesome this week and
linda.com so if you go to linda.com wow
you get a free 7-Day trial I believe it was $25 a month if you want to jump on
it I know one of our editors Taran who's unfortunately out right now because
linda.com um couldn't teach them how to not have tendonitis because that they
don't even try that's makes no sense at all but it could teach him how to be a
better editor so he's been learning Premier tricks on there for a long time
and you can actually see that in a lot of our fastest Possible episodes because
he's done a lot of the editing for that and they're really just jump in again
complimenting you guys on the Forum I like it when you jump in because you
just make us look cool fast as possible is fantastic I love that stuff this is
not it isn't unfortunately my full-time job I don't get to delve into it
constantly it's an excellent Channel I've learned a bunch yeah part-time job
but I I have learned a bunch from that channel if you're unfamiliar with that
channel check it out it's a exactly as they say it is it's very quick it's very
efficient they get to the topic sometimes it's a little funny like you
get a little laugh in there you get a bunch of information and you're done it's it's beautiful sorry we're
constantly hunting for more definitions the way I like describing it we're we're
off the linda.com thing but the way I like describing it is if this is how I
describe it to non- techies because I'm trying to like make them understand what
the point of the channel is because there's stuff on there for techies too because there's some pretty highend
terms but there's also like very simple things as well so how I
try to describe it is if you walk into a store and you're reading a label and you don't understand one of the terms on the
label you should be able to go to Techquickie type in that term and there
should be a fastest Possible episode on it a great way to describe it and if there isn't yet suggest it to us and
we'll try to get one done anyways linda.com can teach you a whole wack ton
of stuff uh they I think they have over like thousands of courses and they add
new ones all the time so it's great uh and I especially suggested I do this
every single time I talk about linda.com but I especially suggest it for people
that are say in high school and want to even if you're not but say this is my
use case specifically if you're in high school and you're into programming and
you want to go to postsecondary for programming you can get a huge massive
very uh like noticeable leg up on people
by jumping on linda.com and learning things like Java and Python and your
your more introductory languages because you'll probably be learning that for if
not your first term your first two terms
like there a lot of different places are they start you off with Java and stuff
so if you can learn the fundamentals before you go to school to learn the
fundamentals you'll you'll get really good grades in those classes and be
rolling more easily and then when they when they hit you with new stuff it'll
be easier for you to transition because you'll hopefully be still carrying along with linda.com it'll be just less
stressful that's that's exactly my point
and you can manage uh you can you can deal with other stuff which could be
stressful like living in a new area and have not having your friends there and
having to figure out how to buy food and dealing with having no money and other
stuff you have a lot of stuff to deal with I think we both went through it yeah kind of different experiences but
kind of the same and again he wasn't joking they're going to hit you with
Java if you were going down this path they're going to hit Java not every
school hits you with Java immediately but I I can pretty much guarantee you
that you'll be learning Java at some point tryy and Escape it there there's your challenge yeah despite what I may
think of java not a huge fan personally
um you you'll you'll learn it at some point the next sponsor is kind of a show
actually it's mod 24 it's happening on September mber 18th at 6 p.m. lus and I
have to somehow figure out how to survive for 20 hours on stream I was
going to add that Nick was going over the schedule and I was kind of listening
while I was I was prepping for the for the show we're doing
here I know you're pretty tough I know you're pretty tough you know and someone
was asking I am the older brother I brought you up a little tough I think yeah good
luck it's going to be rough you were in for it ah yeah my intro thing was if we
don't die it'll be an interesting stream and if we fantastic stream I thought
that you know they're assuming there's much more exaggeration than what is actually going on your guys' schedule is
nuts we're going to be working a full day the day before and then we're going
to have to plan and pack and everything that night and then take off at a pretty
early flight land have two or three
hours before we have to be at meetings for the pre-show then stream for 24
hours and then do the W show right right
afterwards so we're going to get
like six seven hours of sleep and then
be awake for like 40 hours yep and be on
camera for like almost the whole duration no it'll be probably 25 and a
half hours on camera yeah cool uh don't know how we're going
to survive that I know we have a few plans kind of that we're bouncing back and forth like kind of shift work kind
of thing one thing I really want to do which I don't know if going to be able
to get working is if you've watched the the old Iron Chef not the American Iron
shf I don't remember where it was actually technically from but the old Iron Chef uh when when the guy goes out
amongst the cooks he like squeeze on this is happening super cool I want
to be that guy I want to be out amongst the builders uh squeeze on or sorry
lonus this this cool guy is cooking up an amazing computer uh I don't know I
think that could be awesome so tune in 600 p.m. September 18th watch L and I
die while a whole bunch of modders try to actually make really cool systems
there's three teams there will be one Champion come watch to figure out who it
will be come check it out I'll be watching it on my my second monitor
there I'll be in chat so I'm I'm G to try and pay attention to the chat as
much as I possibly can and see if someone can make it through the entire
time oh wow see yeah there the one name
and like I'm going to track you too I want you to show up to W show as well O
So 25 and a half hours I want to see if anyone can make it cuz I don't know it's
going be pretty intense we will see and that's it for sponsor segmenty stuff and
types and things I feel like Philip Franco uh types some things type some
things yeah Destiny makes two uh almost just said $250 million the real number
sounded too ridiculous Destiny makes $500 million in the first 24 hours of
sales which is insane it is the biggest
new IP launch in gaming history the previous record was held by watchdogs
although the totals are not readily
available probably because after their immediate launch the sales went like
that because it was not what it was said to be and I know the PC guys at least
were totally not stoked and I know the console guys were like it's not really
as cool as you thought it was going to be
th a pretty interesting word yeah everyone got it said it was going to be
um it is the highest selling one day
digital console release in history which that's not nearly as surprising because
as time goes on we're doing a lot more digital
stuff now with all that said are you excited for the PC
version like if I said that wrong if
there is a PC version yeah if that world
exists as far as I know it's kind of a no at this point but at the same time as
far as I know they haven't actually said no which as far as we've seen
is actually pretty indicative that it will happen just months later yeah
exactly probably after the seon yeah exactly G when no one has any money left
in January I think 27th GTA 5 uh it'll
come out at the worst possible time I'm I'm pretty stoked it looks cool to be
honest I just it doesn't look by a console cool no I haven't seen anything
that looks by console possible yeah yeah
well buy a nextg console cool I know many things that are by a console cool
because they're on Wii U I was just going to say Wii U Wii U is pretty awesome and I still
think it has more high def games than
next gen I wonder how long that'll last that's pretty great hopefully forever um
yeah with the new like Smash Bros coming out and stuff and those new DLC for
Mario Kart I'm pretty stoked on Wii U lately I don't know it's it's
interesting that they made a whole butt ton of money but I I don't really care that much because it's not on PC at
least yet are you are you interested for it
coming to PC is that I am and I think it's completely because of all the
history with Halo yeah like I I fell off kind of at 3 but one and two were huge
like two that was when I was going um very small school in the states and the
school was very Tech focused and so we all had land Connections in our room
which was kind of a bigger deal because it was 2006 yeah and we all plugged in a
lot of guys had Xboxes and we would play Halo against each other and it landed
incredibly well it worked incredibly well and we had t
are legit Halo lands are Halo 2 was huge you know when we'd be in our dorm rooms
and you know you'd kill somebody and then you'd hear them running down the hall and they'd hit you with something
you know like nothing ever like you know a pillow or something you know what I
mean like or they'd yell at you and then they run back to their room and maybe
you could kill them before they got there you know but there was just it was
a lot of good warm fuzzy feelings you know that came from playing that game um
so yeah it kind of has me a little bit excited I'm also kind of excitable but
uh hopefully you know if comes out it could be pretty cool cuz the other thing
is just to keep rambling on about it there's not a lot of PC shooters that
have me really excited right now you know there's go um but counter- strike
will always be a thing yeah hopefully and it's continuing to grow
Counterstrike goes great check that out but there's not a lot of like lately the
games I've been playing there's really no shooters that I can really maybe I'm
missing something maybe you guys let me know in the twitch chat or maybe you can let me know but I'm not aware of any big
shooters that I'm really interested in right now because Cod just like drained
the whole killed the industry yeah I'm wondering if someone's going to pipe up
in twitch chat and bring up a name of a shooter that I haven't really been
thinking of Tribes Ascend yeah but also
no Tri that's something I could look into see CS TF2 I did play TF2 when it
originally came out but it's not I I think you're talking more about new
games a lot of people are saying toxic that's a good point um toxic I don't
know much about out yet though I knew somebody would let us know
why is it not doing the scrolling thing but toxic is supposed to be a PC only
thing right I can't even select the chat to Google search it right now it's uh
it's not spelled right though I talked to it on a previous stream I know I have
it's yeah it's it's spelled weird it's
someone will say it right Warframe not into Warframe played that wasn't super
stoked I haven't heard of toxo that's definitely something I have to look it's
so hard to read it's going so quickly and it's not
doing the scroll lock thing for some reason
tox I I think I saw that tox I
KK you got that you got that backwards a little bit
TX ik KK there we go there we go okay now I
think this is like a PC only I'm actually pretty stoked for this I can't
believe I didn't think about this I talked about it on a on a stream earlier
it's my favorite thing about their trailers they talk about all the things it's not there's no like leveling system
there's no none of that crap and then they're like free to play and I'm like
oh God and then not and I'm like yeah I
was so happy man it was so good I
remember that stream now because I was watching the trailer uh yeah you you'll be able to
you don't even really need the music to be completely honest so you can check that out and maybe I'll move on but this
is actually a super cool trailer Yeah by
reactor they like spelling things all craziness back to its roots it's
actually pretty cool so it's it it looks kind of unre no yeah no classes no
leveling system like all this kind of stuff and it's nice because it's a trailer for a game where they're like we
don't have all this junk instead of look we have all this junk it's like it kind
of looks like Halo 1 and two the feel like you were saying unreal it's kind of
yeah I see the Halo one and two stuff not exactly obviously but yeah no reload
I actually think that's super cool Rel I know we're not showing this on stream
I'm sorry guys it's on the wrong thank you to those who threw that in the chat
because again this is something I just wasn't aware of yeah I told forgot yeah
frag leg this 1999 I thought that was cool double jumps Dodge and double jumps
super cool yet again I'm okay with the vehicle stuff I'm sure they'll have uh
levels without vehicle stuff like this one probably yeah which again you guys
can't see I'm sorry apparently the toxic site went down good work
everyone well done fantastic you got to
go you got to go back a little B see the freeto playay not thing okay it's at the
very end but either way I was pretty stoked for that
actually Luke are you going to Iraq
nope I don't think they're going to have any Tech conventions there for a while I
saw that in the twitch chat I was I was clicking back to the dock and I was just
like I feel like I need to address this one I don't know if there's maybe a
rumor going around or something but no um Windows 9 screenshots have leaked and
they look pretty much exactly like we kind of thought they looked now are you
excited for Windows 9 I am because it's not Windows 8 uh um which I know that's
super basic but it's also the second like XP was good right yeah should we
even the one after that was not good
lonus likes it cuz he's crazy balls u lonus liked it cuz he had like 24 gigs
of RAM and the fact that it was super inefficient didn't matter because he's
like I have a lot of RAM so it should be okay for everyone I'm like that's not
how that works if he went down to four could he notice the difference um he might uh seven I like
seven seven was great and then I'm not a huge fan of eight at all not a huge fan
of eight either I think there's definitely some improvements there's stuff like every once in a while I'm
like oh man that file transfer is so cool it is the file transfer is cool and
like task managers task manager fantastic if you could take Windows 7
give me that transfer and give me the task manager and the performance Windows 8.1 actually performs better in games
than Windows 7 does true which isy take
those three attach those to Windows 7
super stoked I'm happy for a decade like I and then the next thing is I just
don't like how it looks which brings us to Windows 9 I don't really like the
blocky style the squares the rectangles I don't Windows 7 looks really good look
at this start button down in the corner oo yeah it's nice it's a circle it's
like they made a square image and put a circle in the middle and then had a
transparent background whoa groundbreaking instead of putting a big
color on the screen and then putting a white block for whatever your icon is
for everything why are you doing that stop
it doesn't no go away I don't know this might not be shed for everyone it's an
aesthetic thing so there's definitely people out there that are going to like it um and that's just me but there's
some cool stuff I don't actually mind the new start menu I'm hoping that it
has a few different things I'm hoping one that there is an option to get rid
of the metro styly stuff on the right even though I will leave it on if you're
able to custom configure everything that's there which I'm sure you're able to because it would be cool to be able
to put different games and stuff especially if games mainly mainly games
um and not like their games app but individual games would have these
different size block icons that you could utilize because that could be
pretty cool especially if like the main game that you play if you wanted the wide landscape mode button for it and it
had like a really cool looking Metro button or if you could pick what is the
image for that button right you upload your own or screenshot your own and crop
it and then put it on which that might even be a thing I think that could be
pretty cool it could be pretty cool so I don't necessarily mind that something I
stole from you which I'm not even sure if you do still but is no icons on your
deskop yeah I do that I still do that it's sweet it looks so cool I can't even
it was so long ago that I was like your icons are gone and I was a little
confused but it was beautiful at the same time and then I completely adopted
that and I still do that today so like you were saying if you could have that
as you can see on well you can't see my hand here but if you could change those
icons out you could have your beautiful desktop background with your beautiful
monitor that you paid a bunch of money for and everything just looks great and
then when you open your start menu you can have all the icons you want with the
pictures you want really cool because if you if you do all the pictures you want
for the for the again I'm going to say games but I just the reason why I'm
saying games isn't necessarily just because we're Gamers but it's because I
feel like you get a lot of really cool artwork yeah so I think it makes sense
um I'm I'm excited I I think it'll do pretty well I'm just looking at the chat
there seems to be a lot of people who do like Windows 8 and I don't hate Windows
8 but there's some things I I don't really appreciate for me it's like the deeply rooted
permission stuff um and I know you can get
around a lot of the start menu problems which is why I haven't brought that up
by installing your own start menus and stuff which you should not have to do
for one but I find whenever I use Windows 8 for an extended period of time
no matter what I do something always creeps
through something will always creep through and mess with me I know I know
taran's system has serious issues because he's running dual monitors which
should not be a thing I don't like that yeah the the the the the like highlight
popup stuff which you can make go away but then sometimes it's frustrating
again the search is just craptastic I
don't know I'm not I felt like the Windows 7 search was completely Superior
yeah I for at least how I use it uh the Windows 7 search I I felt was a lot
better yeah native arrow is good as was
happy to see I mean I'm happy to see that
um yeah I don't know not a ton of
information just some random like screenshot leaks I know Microsoft has
not commented yet
um let me see here I pretty excited for it though I yeah they're still not uh
finalized The Verge says that the screenshots are genuine so honestly they
probably are um that new search button thing just just to the right of start
there's a like a magnifying glass search button thing despite there being a
search thing on the start so I'm not sure what that's there for
um I guess we'll see you later and Microsoft has not commented sorry what
were you saying I was just saying I'm I'm pretty excited for Windows 9 yeah I
think a lot of things could come together to make a a really great operating system again again uh just
like we did with Windows 8 probably not immediately at launch but a little bit
afterwards we'll do performance benchmarks because that's one really big
thing with Windows 8 is you get better system performance uh especially when
playing games it's like a huge awesome benefit yep definitely uh uh um here's
an interesting article that I'm not really sure what I feel about uh
including with the guy who posted its name
because this was posted by anal
powder I was just going to call him uh butt powder but butt powder AP when I
was casting some Starcraft there was an individual named um poo to Great
Starcraft player I remember that intelligent person
why would he name himself that I don't know but we would refuse uh the guy I
was casting with him myself we would absolutely refuse to call him that so
we'd come up with an absolute abundance
of of ways to refer to him um but yeah
we just refused so we can you can do that with for members too you know you
could change it up as much as you want I'm going to call him baby powder access
point access point because AP I like it
I like it you are now named access point so access point on the for anyways the
gtx980 will not beat gForce GTX 780 Ti
this was on kit Guru and that's actually all I'm really going to show of that
screen because it's not helpful to you guys see that because it's all text um
and apparently what's going on here is the GM 204 chip is not supposed to
replace or outperform gk10 necessarily
so cards like 780ti and Titan black
should apparently not outperform a 980
because it's not supposed to replace those ones it's more there to replace GK
104 which
is I guess maybe but all this really
means is that when they launch with their Flagship of 980 and then tear down
a little bit we're just going to have to wait even longer for them to release
like 980 TI and then that one will be faster than
the 780 Ti I guess it's a little bit weird again we're getting swamped in not
very good graphics card naming schemes
why is that a thing could that just not be a thing we just write a letter with a
pen and like paper and an envelope you know those letter things that we used to
have can we write a letter and be like please stop I wonder if
thatp stop stop just I wonder if that
would work for net neutrality if we wrote physical letters we like hey can
you read this maybe you can't read emails cuz your internet's so bad you
think Broadband at 04.5 megabits per sec
or megabytes per second is a thing I don't know of course reading emails on
that is fine I just feel like naming shouldn't be hard no like I just I don't
know if if I don't know also the cards
are said to have uh 4 gigabytes of gdr 5
which is not necessarily higher than certain other cards but other later
versions like custom cooler featured cards should have 8 GB maybe we're
expecting that would be option so it's not super surprising rumors just kind of
disappointing because we're all hoping for that Flagship card to just Crush everything in its path and move on so
it's it's possible that it will not again though nothing's released and we
have no official benchmarking numbers so let's all just kind of hold tight and
wait because that makes the most sense in my opinion and then we will see what
happens next up I keep on going to reach to change what screen I'm on before I've
opened the correct uh screen next up is
a cursed entity talking about how the uh GTX 770 will be have a reduced price
lots of NVIDIA news this week but this is actually kind of AMD news at the same
time because they're reducing this price for it to compete with the 285 because
the 760 uh kind of lost and that was its
thre competition so I think they're dropping the 770 to try and make it look
more attractive for people looking at that price point I believe it is still
uh like $25 more roughly the same price as Factory
overclock 285 so not reference ones uh
it's it's about $25 American more
expensive than the cheapest 285 uh interesting I don't know I'm not
surprised at all NVIDIA seems to be doing this and this actually ties into
the talk earlier where we were saying even if we didn't want to switch to
Verizon it still would have been better that they came into Canada because
competition Nidia would not have dropped this price if it wasn't for the 285
coming in and actually doing quite well the 285 didn't come in and look very
attractive for people wanting to buy graphics cards NVIDIA wouldn't have
dropped the price of the 770 because all they're trying to do is they saw the
possibility of a surge of people no longer buying their graphics cards and
they were like hey you should probably buy our graphics cards because look oh
my God they're cheaper now and they wouldn't have done that if it wasn't for
285 coming in and stomping them no of course not yeah um yeah that's again
that's about it there's not a ton of in-depth stuff for the graphics card news this week but I don't know still
still interesting it's another as if we needed more of them reference as to why
competition is good the next article that we have we're looking at the dock
again which is fantastic the next article that we have is uh by Victoria
Secret and this is the article that we were talking about this is an amazing
Forum post yes what kind of started me on that launch of you know you guys are
doing a fantastic job um this one
started so if you scroll with me yeah we're going to look at the sizes here iPhone 5S sporting a 4 in screen uh I
know my grandfather was up visiting for a little bit he's got a 5S um it really
felt tiny it felt small minuscule maybe I guess you could say apple realized
this and kind of I'm kind of a hater um
the iPhone 6 will now have a 4.7 in screen and the plus will come out with a
5.5 in screen um so they're going big I
I found it quite interesting that they didn't even have an option at all for a
4in screen which would have parred their previous phone especially with how jobs
always used to talk about offering the like the the I don't remember what he
called that size but like what he kind of thought was the best size the optimal
they're going completely away from what he said they were going to do they would
never release a budget iPhone iPhone 5c came out very quickly they would never
release a tablet I believe he stated what size the iPad Mini is smaller than
that so they're actually going away from a lot of things that he said they would do well we'll see how it plays out for
them in the long run um because if you look at the history of Apple basically I'm going to guess not well yeah it it
could it could get worse for them like there's silly things like um I think you
can see it on the screen right now we're seeing that the iPhone is Getting
Thinner oh God which I don't believe even I'll find the camera at
my at my fire hall there's a guy who has every Mac device on the planet his whole
ecosystem is is Mac he had the 3Gs the
four the 4S the 5 the 5S will now have the 6 Plus um he's confirmed with me no
one cares about the thinness of this phone no one does what they do care
about is the battery which they instead
of you know keeping the phone at that 7.6 millimeter which I can't tell you
what half a millimeter is I I can't do that Canadian school I can't do that
with my fingers it's too small um
where's the really the battery should have been improved is what is what I'm trying to say yeah there's what there
this is the picture that I liked no it wasn't where is it he has one in here
one his post is so good that there's too much
information uh it's not in the watch stuff so I'll jump back up to here you
can see a big bump on the camera I'm going to circle with my mouse right now
big old bump and what a ton of people have been saying this is we're not the
first people to say this at all is they should have just left the phone a little
bit thicker and not had a freaking bump on the camera and had a bigger
battery how did you not think of these things I know why because you don't have
jobs anymore what are you doing my this
is going to be a little odd comment but if it's laying down flat how is that
bump going to awkwardly affect how it sits also if it moves across like a
table if there's something to catch where it would be sliding you know flat
will it catch will that become a problem will become possibly be good for it a
fragile point will it I'm assuming now I don't know and I probably should have
looked into this that they're going to have like a bumper style cases which
will I'm sure the camera I'm I'm sure
the cases will have to coordinate for it but a big thing is I know you've said
that you don't like cases on your phone no like one of your big problems with and we forgot to actually talk about the
actual how this the Note 4 is constructed yeah you're a really big fan
of How It's Made very solid you really hated the backs on the old Samsung
phones right personally I don't really care that much because if I grab my
phone I'm pretty much always going to have one of these guys on it yeah I don't have my phone on me but I pretty
much never have a case on it but it's just it's an excellent and we don't
actually differ on that much but that's just one of the random things that we differ on but it makes a difference how
your phone is going to fit especially with a premium device yeah it matters
how your phone is going to fit without a case without that extra you know
protection it needs to function on its own so people like Luke and and people
like yourself can can have that experience how I know because and I was
really excited when I saw this video because I was like Yay he agrees with me
uh but Marcus brownley released a video on why he doesn't use a case on his
phone so so if he's releasing that video that automatically means that a whole
bunch of people aren't going to be doing it because yeah a lot of people follow him which is fantastic cuz he's really
good that he does um but you can't just
I don't know it seems like such a crap
compromise and not something that would have been done if Steve Jobs was still
there to leave the ship I I I just make
it that what was it 0 five I could be wrong got to scroll back up here to see
the numb I believe .5 mm like you know take it up to that slightly slightly
larger thickness that no one cares about
and insert a better battery you know just grab grab some more milliamps that
like your the biggest conversation that goes around right now with smartphones and even smart watches is battery
batteries and smart watches is huge we're going to talk about the 360 in a
minute or two here first we'll talk about the Apple watch I almost said I
watch batteries are a huge deal batteries are what's holding back the
entire industry you could put an i7 in your phone you can't power it you know
batter batteries I'll stop my rant right there but batteries are the issue one of
my favorite things I'm trying to find it right now here it is yeah uh I like his
commentary Victoria's Secret commentary through this amazing post uh oh [ __ ]
it's about to go down sorry for swearing um I think and then it's like one more
thing which you're at an Apple conference so just so you know we're not
done yet because they say one more thing every single time then he's like watch I
mean con no I mean watch uh awesome I
love his commentary through this it's fantastic I I really like what U brown
ninja and Victoria Secret have been doing making their posts very much their
own um their watch looks super boring
except for the band which is awesome but then again the actual watch is like not
interesting at all um I've heard tell
that the 18 karat gold version is going to be like $1600 or ,700 or something if
you're buying an 18 karat gold version Apple watch you're probably not watching
this let's just be serious yeah and you probably don't care that it's that expensive but still um they they they do
other than the ridiculous things that are potentially on your screen with the
icons they do look pretty cool um
because of the band again and all the different customizable options you can
have with the band they're nailing the band which I believe other SmartWatches
aren't yes necessarily but they're nailing the
band especially the qualcom talk they didn't nail the band on that one but the
not necessarily the actual watch this like weird astral storm of icon bubbles
that you have to like zoom in on with your side dial what the heck excuse me
what the heck is that it it moved him to hiccups it that's how amazing that was
what the heck is that what is going on they're saying they're saying that it's
it's not it's not big enough of a screen to propably do like pinch and whatever
unpinch is what is this the moving your fingers naming it
unpinch okay uh fing spre they say it's
not big enough to do that properly with then don't don't don't the other eyew
watches actually get or eye watches don't the other smart watches get around
that you sound like those I'm going to segue a little bit you sound like those uh the the the the NFL guys that called
they're calling all the surface they put what is it like $440 million NFL got a
$400 million contract to to show off the
Microsoft Surface and then the announcers called them iPads then they
keep calling them iPads oh and imagine
you were the Microsoft rep I would be so
cheesed how can you not be cheesed they're they're literally advertising
for their opponents after they put in a ton of money and if you look um I
actually saw a picture on that same article when they go see the replay like
the side of it says Microsoft Surface HD and all this kind of stuff they have the
naming in the appropriate spots but and they even have these these coaches where
if you don't follow football you won't you won't know any of the names but that's totally fine they have these
older School coaches using them and S and actually using them on the site not
just product play like they're actually using them it's kind of a big deal and it's
especially bringing advertisement um to a market that might not be extremely
educated on things like the surface yeah and yeah wow screwed by the announcers
it's just ridiculous not even in the dock I just I thought about it no it's
not said the the I your dog is up
again there we go I'm in the right one God I'm never the one that controls the
screen so it's so weird for me to do it now um again the bands look really cool
but I'm just super not stoked and speaking of super not stoked let's move
on to the Moto 360 because I was like I
am going to buy this and then now that people have actually been talking about
it you guys were talking about on your last stream I believe you were saying
you might be yeah cuz I was pretty sold on a Moto 360 and a Moto X and now I'm
not entirely not entirely sure if I'm sold on either awkward it's been one
week that's Tech that's why we need fluid definitions oh yes things change
in a week exactly in a week yeah um
speaking of you Broadband jumping down here a little bit this is geekbench this
is not what we're looking for battery life Android Wear notification
test what's up Moto 360 verle nothing's
up they're dead they're recharging right now I am interested in like I'm hoping
we get one for review not even necessarily to keep it because I want to
actually it and see how long it actually
lasts um because and how useful you find
it that's the thing I'm really cuz a watch is a fashion statement now can you
combine that fashion statement with you know some interesting notifications and
interacting with your phone well and staying alive that's a big thing it's
just dead on your wrist what's the point but right sorry I'm going to interject
you for when you said Staying Alive the first thing that clicked in my head was like survivability like it it maybe has
a detachable knife or something I don't know sorry keep going
um I don't know I'm just I'm I know you guys were talking about it last week and
this is completely your guys's industry and it makes sense I know lonus is all
about it and that's awesome we need people like that I'm not sold on SmartWatches yet yeah they have not sold
me and the 360 sold me on the look yeah
and I I believe we have a comment here I'm not even going to try a shot at that
calls the 360 beautiful outside ugly inside it is beautiful on the outside
it's the first one that I've even thought that the Apple watch you know usually the band is nice they're well
known the band is nice they're well known for making visually appealing to
most people um products I'm not sold you
know I'm I'm just really not sold on the whole Market there's my lius uses it and
like honestly if I didn't know lonus so well and if I didn't work with him I
probably wouldn't be sold on them either but seeing him use it through his
day-to-day and seeing his use case for it makes way more sense and has me
interested in it because he's not trying to see that's awesome to he he just
reads it so if he receives a text he can go like this go okay not necessarily
important don't have to deal with it right now and goes back to what he's doing another thing I read online um
that was interesting was it's because we have the whole kind of push I forget
what it's called but you remember when you know you put your phones in the middle of the table when you're out to
eat you can't pick up your phone and phone stack yeah things like that it
kind of helps enable things like that because you're looking at your wrist and
you're reading something you're and you're putting it away without the whole I'm bringing my phone the problem with
phone stack is emergency calls yeah so
if if you get a call from like your mom maybe you can break the phone stack game
but if you get a call from your buddy then you can be like H I can't pick it
up because it's just my buddy and that makes more sense um but just the idea of
keeping your phone in your pocket a little bit more and trying to get away
from us that's exactly because I feel like I get a lot of messages like emails
and whatnot all the time and I I'm constantly checking my phone but a lot
of the time it's like oh I went to another convention and I had to sign up
for my badge and you have to put your email in and it's another tech conven so
they give it to every single vendor and host there so I'm just getting spammed
like crap and it's another email that I don't need to check but it has me
constantly doing this and it would be nice if I could just look at my watch
and go oh it's spam and then just be like whatever I'll deal with it later
and then once I get down to a desktop just select a whole bunch of things and
Report spam and then move on yeah well another thing um that just kind of
popped into my mind because I'm always worried about battery life is would that
not inherently the battery life on your phone using
your watch but you are constantly
pushing through with Bluetooth that's
true yeah interesting unfortunate good
point I wonder how much Bluetooth pushes compared to turning your screen on every
like it's actually right when you said that like I know it drains because of
the Bluetooth but I'm really interested now in a benchmark comparing that H
because screen kills especially like we're looking at this iPhone with a 5
point five 5.5 I think it is screen yeah I
think 5.7 is the Note 4 and Note 3 um I
don't have it up anymore but that screen that's what kills your battery you know
is having that screen on like people would complain like I use mine a ton at
work for GPS it's not the GPS that's killing the battery it's that the fact
that your screen is constantly on you know constantly being lit that's what
kills your battery so yeah that that would be an interesting little test I would like to try that because
especially with like my Moto X and stuff I can pull it out without fully turning the screen on because it just has the
quick notification
Ito low power or whatever anyways a lot
of this is due to it using a 1 gz single core Texas Instruments omap 3 so which
so that's straight out of the old calculators from grade eight or is that
that's pretty ghetto that's a 2010 era processor when you're like oh 2010
wasn't that long ago when you're talking about mobile game 2010 is ancient um mom
has a a tablet that I looked it up is
from 2011 it feels like a dinosaur yeah yeah exactly you know in this in this
technology it is that's a dinosaur it it's in the same league as the iPhone 4
not even 4S or the Nexus one uh it's
it's I don't even know what they were thinking it's what is it 48 nanometer
process I don't see it in the notes 45 nanometer process which like dudes how
did you think that was possibly going to be super great on battery life um it
it's it's slow it's battery up to par is not up to par scrolling performance is
not great and like I know people talk about how performance benchmarks on
watches are kind of dumb and honestly I kind of think they are too but if it
lags when you're trying to scroll through that's a problem it's going to
look bad it's going to feel uncomfortable that's not going to be good at all I just totally lost internet
which is not good um I lost it earlier
actually but uh it came back but yeah
it's I think you were saying you don't really like benchmarks on on watches on
wearable things like that but I think the most notable one to pay attention to
is the battery life yeah battery life Benchmark is huge because these these
thing they're not going to last for multiple days you know I think it was the pebble that has the ink push I'm
saying that wrong and I'm sure I'll be corrected about a hundred times in twitch chat but um with how it uses the
ink you know the battery life is obviously incredible um but with with
you know using full screens battery life is a big deal you know another device to
charge every single night on your bed stand right mhm otherwise it's not
useful wait someone just said the stream's down I don't think it is though
I think they're lying so I think we're fine anyways don't worry about that I
got it um yeah he's the only one that said it so I think we're totally
fine should be
good someone said next topic time though they are right about that yeah okay so
let's move on
to we've been jumping around so much I know that's actually kind of a problem
we could talk about NVIDIA starts a legal battle with Samsung and Qualcomm
over patent infringment see I really
think we talked about this last week did we it says last week never covered but
I'm like pretty freaking sure we did you
know I might have missed it because because I remember I remember lonus and
I were talking about how NVIDIA seems
really big in our industry but compared to Samsung and Qualcomm they are a very
small man um they're definitely and
reading through the posts on the uh we won't we won't beat this one up just in
case you did do it last week and I always watch the time stamps because I'm
usually working at this time so I always go back watch the Youtube time stamps
but someone was saying you know oh NVIDIA's going to crush but really
Samsung Samsung is the Giant in that Arena Samsung's kind of a big deal and I
I got to say again brown ninja good work um that
screenshot it's beautiful I'll show
everyone oh absolutely fantastic um and
dro the mic thing too it's just pretty funny uh yeah I don't know that's going
to be an interesting battle for them because it is not going to be an easy
battle for them at all uh those are two
really big players but they do seem to be in the
right but then again it's a kind of a
messed up system so sometimes it doesn't matter if you're in the right it matters
that you have a super awesome lawyer so I don't know we'll see money and your
lawyer matter more than anything yeah although again to refer to the amazing
post on your forum for way too many times which will win the Titan or the
dragon just it's just it's just really
funny right makes it personal makes it uh makes it cool to watch so thanks a
lot I believe we had something interesting I can't find it in Rapid
Fire ah I feel like we're missing something
right the Samsung uh gear blink which is
uh it's supposed to be a rival for Google Glass because we totally need
those right now yeah is Google Glass dead or what as far as I know yeah I I
did I tell you I tried it and just was not impressed I I remember saying that
lonus grabbed it and was like oh yeah I'm going to do like one of our I switched episode things and tried out
for like a month and see how well it goes and then I think he lasted two days
and just ditched it entirely because it's just not good I saw one guy at PA
with one yeah 74 are just kind of standing there I remember cuz I saw him
as well him that one person the individual out of what 75,000 or yeah
and you know he's wearing it just because people are like oh cool yeah um
again I didn't click on it and then I went to go switch screens now I got to
go back click on this so yeah if they're
filing for patents with these good luck bro they look like safety glasses yeah
yeah and I like the interest what this is the the weirdest thing to pull out of
this but did you prepare what I said last time it just it's so like I don't
know I never read that yeah it it just seems so direct and
forceful I guess they like did you prepare the chicken salad
sandwich like they could have gone with something else maybe that's what he
means by what I said last time maybe they're trying to make sure that they didn't offend anyone ever but it's just
weird and like the typing with a hand thing is is cool I
I'm not sure same time I have to see how it's implemented obviously that's something you're going to have to use
before you can really yeah you know this one of a rapid fire topic so we don't
have a ton of research on this one um what I'm super stoked for though is the
what is it the Microsoft headset or is was the Intel
headset I think it was the Intel headset let me let me look it up real quick I'm
going to turn my screen onto not looking at what's on my screen because that's
cool and stuff and then go to Intel
Jarvis headset yeah the Intel Jarvis
headset looks so cool but then there
hasn't been kind of anything about it at all this one is not there we go you can
see in that picture so I'll share my screen again thanks for the pivot thing
going on so you can see in this picture it's not really it's not like a heads up
display on his glasses it just kind of wraps around his ear and it's much more
focused around being Jarvis instead of
which is freaking cool could that be
yeah and it's uh part of the idea is local local recording and local uh
analytics of what you said instead of like the horrible like it's cool but
still horrible Okay Google Now blink
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah yeah that's it's sits waiting waiting waiting
because it sent out to a server then it has to figure out what you said then I have to send commands back like that
being said it's incredible that whole process happens yes but we need to step
forward it needs to be local on the phone it needs there therefore being way
quicker way more efficient not using your data plan you know we're talking
about you know cell phones and our plans and how we pay for them and all that
kind of stuff it's still using your data might be you know a micro amount of data
but there's those guys out there with a 250 megabyte monthly plan I have 500
megabyte you have 500 megabyte it's horrible if I forget to turn on Wi-Fi
and I go home one night and I accidentally watch like a YouTube video
I'm screwed you're in a lot of trouble yeah so those little micro
we could call them transactions microtransactions of data matter right
it it matters so it's it's it's a big
deal if you could have that local on your phone it would be so much quicker so much more efficient and also if
you're not in you know if you're out in a forest like we were shooting you know
way out in the middle of a forest shooting this new movie and the data
your data didn't work you can't do any of that stuff without data period right
so it's just over and if you've got Jarvis in your ear it's not over could
still work unless he has to Google things and then it won't work yeah which
would be unfortunate either way guys I believe that is it for the show this
week I'm going to play our intro which is exactly the same as our outro and
it's going to be awkward because I forgot to take the one overlay off and
there's actually two overlays on there so it's going to start playing and then I'm going to like drag these things off
but we'll we'll be okay everyone will
survive awkward there we
go nope I'm dead
I'll carry my part
cou we should just no what it should be is lineus drops the couch and then you
just run in and pick it up I got
this award long pause I forgot her name that was awkward
um mod 24 mod 24 is going to be
fantastic if we don't die um and if we
do die it'll be fantastic for you but severely not fantastic for us there will
be three teams competing to build a super awesome mod they will have 24
hours and there will only be one champion whose Cuisine will reign
supreme sque we have a really interesting mod going on on the floor
right now I really want to do that anyways uh hopefully you guys will tune
in it's on September 18th at 6m I'll be tuning in come watch it should be really
cool I hope it's really cool and I really want to see people in the chat I
want to see if someone lasts through the whole 24 hours of mod 24 and then
watches the full duration of the WAN Show right afterwards because we're
apparently doing the W show right afterwards because we will not miss a WAN Show and then moving on we have the
wonderful the beautiful linda.com with her very good Educational
Tools which is not necessarily what you expect after that intro if you go to linda.com wow you can get a 7-Day free
trial and if you think that 7-Day free trial is super duper awesome you can
subscribe for I believe 25 bucks a month yep and you get to learn a whole bunch
of stuff I know Taran here at Works learns video editing that way none of
our other editors do because they're slacking off and um if you are in high
school and you want to learn programming because you're going to take it in postsecondary I would highly suggest
taking Java little courses things on
l.com because that would be very very helpful thank you guys for watching and
