1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:07,040
Okay guys, welcome to the WAN Show. That

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:10,320
show every week where me and this guy are all like, "Hey, let's like make

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:15,160
videos and put them on the internet and then maybe people will watch them. Let's

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:22,240
be on time." Nope. And then people watch them and Okay, we're only four minutes

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:23,920
late today. What is this?

6
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:30,480
You got to pause it. Why am I getting French ads? I don't know. We're in

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:32,480
Canada. Poor parties pay.

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,760
or something. All right, I'm pausing it. I'm pausing it. I'm pausing it. I'm

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:42,160
pausing it. All right, so guys, we've got a great show for you today.

10
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:45,440
First of all, we have a topic that we covered last week sitting in the call

11
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:49,680
outs here. I'm going to go ahead and move that one. Mr. Lefren, I believe,

12
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:55,600
put that there. I don't remember talking about that at all. Well, probably because I did most of the talking

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:58,160
because it's the Lionus show. But I feel like I would have had input on that.

14
00:00:56,879 --> 00:01:03,199
Maybe you had me doing something else. I'm surprised that you didn't call me out on that. It's called the WAN Show.

15
00:01:01,359 --> 00:01:07,200
It's not even called the Lionus show. I don't really care. You put your name on

16
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:12,080
everything, so whatever. Lionus Media Group. Lionus Tech Tips. What did you

17
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:15,600
want the shirt thing to be called? I don't remember, but I think that this

18
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:19,040
conversation is uh heading down a path. It had your name in it. Really not

19
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:23,280
actually that comfortable with He just really likes hearing his name. Everyone

20
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:27,840
should just tweet him his name. Thank you for that. Please just tweet him his

21
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:31,840
name. we will greatly appreciate it. All right, so why don't we why don't we move

22
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:38,400
on to our topics for the day? Microsoft has committed once again to do more for

23
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:40,079
PC gaming. But they actually have You're

24
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:47,520
spoiling me. Yeah, it's going to be awesome. I'm stopping. It's going to be

25
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:49,759
awesome. Okay, iOS 8 is on the way. So,

26
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:53,600
um, actually, a lot of the features that they're showing off look pretty darn

27
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:57,920
cool. Some of them are innovative, some of them are not, but but still good.

28
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:02,240
It's about par for the course for any mobile operating system update. I mean,

29
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:07,040
take everything that you can and add a few things. Exactly.

30
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:09,759
Uh we also have Microsoft Cortana voice control coming along the way, which

31
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:16,879
should be really interesting. And the ASUS uh phone desktop table laptop fin.

32
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:22,879
It's not a desktop. It's the one thing it's not laptop. ASUS's

33
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:26,560
5in1 PC. How do you make a 5in-1 PC?

34
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:31,200
Well, ASUS will show us. But in the

35
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:31,200
meantime, guys, we'll do the intro.

36
00:02:31,959 --> 00:02:37,990
Yes. Broken intro.

37
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:01,760
All right. So, this is interesting. Our

38
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:08,400
first sponsor this week is actually a group of sponsors. We along with Tech

39
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,040
Syndicate will be participating in the

40
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:16,480
world's highest elevation terrestrial land party. So, we

41
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:21,159
are going to be going to the top of the highest peak in Colorado and we will be

42
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:25,840
taking some some ASUS gaming notebooks up

43
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:30,879
there. We're they're going to be powered by Intel Core i7s and we're going to

44
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:36,400
have some sweet Corair gaming peripherals, of course, featuring their

45
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:40,640
RGB keyboards in order to get a land

46
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:42,080
going at 4400 m above sea level. So,

47
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:47,760
there will definitely be videos about this whole thing, guys. Be very, very

48
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:53,280
excited. It'll be coming sometime in about a month. And a huge shout out to

49
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:56,159
ASUS, Corsair, and Intel for making this

50
00:03:53,280 --> 00:04:01,760
whole thing possible. Also, something that's coming a little bit more

51
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:04,159
immediately is E3 coverage here on Linus

52
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:08,560
Tech Tips. We bailed on Computex this year, as you probably noticed, but we'll

53
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:12,239
be doing E3. Basically, we did Comp Computex last year. It was extremely

54
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,200
expensive and not a whole lot of people watched the content. So, we're going to

55
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:23,440
try something a little bit different. We're going to do we're going to do E3 instead. So, our gold sponsor for E3 is

56
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:26,639
HyperX featuring the Fury line of

57
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:29,120
performance to price ratio. I think the

58
00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:37,880
word is value price toerformance ratio optimized SSDs as well as the Corsair

59
00:04:32,479 --> 00:04:40,479
RGB keyboard and NCIX. My bros, my my

60
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:44,479
homeboys, my dogs. Did you see that? We were being featured on Newegg's product

61
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:49,360
site. I have seen that. Do you saw that? Speaking of Speaking of my bros, NCIX,

62
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:54,400
I'm sure Newegg is so super thrilled to have the host of NCIX tech tips all over

63
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:59,280
their uh their site there. So, uh yeah, it's pretty funny. I hope Paul and Kyle

64
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:03,199
are watching. They were tagged in that Twitter feed, so I know they saw it.

65
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:06,880
It's absolutely fant I'm sure NCX thinks it's hilarious, too.

66
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:14,000
Oh, this is you're embedding a YouTube video. So, I don't know. Chip 700 says,

67
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:17,630
"So, by we're doing E3, does he mean I'm sending Slick to E3?"

68
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,080
Yes.

69
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:26,560
Yes. We'll be doing the same kind of thing that we did at PAX East again. So,

70
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:30,800
we'll do a mix of all the hardware stuff that I can find and a few gaming videos.

71
00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:36,960
Sweet. Yeah. No, that sounds like uh that sounds like fun. I mean, part of it is that we've never covered E3 in any

72
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:41,840
capacity before. So, this is more like a scouting mission. So, if it turns out E3

73
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:46,479
is a total disaster and there's no benefit to us being there, then next

74
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:50,240
year we won't. Yeah, exactly. So, let us know. It's not like it's not like PAX

75
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:55,440
where I would have to actually tie him down like harder than usual in order to

76
00:05:53,840 --> 00:06:00,720
keep him from going there. What day did I request time off for PAX Prime? It was

77
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:04,800
when we started Lionus Media Group. So before we actually founded the company,

78
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:10,560
so it would have been in December of 2012, you asked for the time off in

79
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:12,319
September of 2013.

80
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:15,919
No, I think it was like the second day I started working with you before we

81
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:20,800
founded the company. People are saying audio is actually normal for once, which

82
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:24,880
is hilarious because I actually took out the compressor. We're not using a

83
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:29,919
balanced output off the mixer. I'm going into like a crappy RCA input on

84
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:34,479
something. I we actually we know what the problem is now. I know what the

85
00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:38,240
problem is now. We need an amp and then we need a couple more adapter cables and

86
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:44,080
we're going to be able to get the audio like bang on. Uh the issue is that this

87
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:47,840
Juice Link amp kind of sounds like poo. It's the one that we use whenever we

88
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:53,360
film things on the Blackmagic camera and everyone complains. So I got the levels

89
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:56,639
sounding really good on this one. Um and so that that didn't quite work though

90
00:06:55,120 --> 00:07:00,240
because it just sounds kind of poopy. And then I tried an objective two, but

91
00:06:58,639 --> 00:07:04,960
they're not really meant to be used this way. So, uh, it didn't really work. I

92
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:08,319
need balanced inputs and outputs in order for it to to work properly. The

93
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:13,520
whole chain has to be kind of the same thing. And then I didn't have the right XLR to uh quarterinch adapters and all

94
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:19,440
that. So, it just didn't quite work. But guys, it is definitely going to happen.

95
00:07:17,039 --> 00:07:24,120
Also, as for the white balance, I'm actually not sure. I think that is a bit

96
00:07:21,919 --> 00:07:31,759
of a I think that is a bit of a problemmo. But uh we're just gonna have

97
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:33,520
to go with it because welcome to the W

98
00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:37,199
show where we go live at some time. That's

99
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:43,680
somewhere around 4:30 and hopefully things are okay and the color's wrong

100
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:45,840
and the audio sucks. Yeah,

101
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:49,120
whatever. Screw you guys. No, we love you guys. Please keep watching. Please

102
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:52,960
don't leave. Please don't leave. I need you.

103
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:56,160
Oh, speaking of the W show, uh, and technical difficulties. All right. How

104
00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:02,479
much you want to bet? We get a blue screen. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Don't do it yet. Don't do it yet. Hold on.

105
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:06,280
Okay. And hit it.

106
00:08:02,479 --> 00:08:06,280
Oh, that's interesting.

107
00:08:07,039 --> 00:08:14,319
That was so not expected. So, that's probably Yeah. No, I I get it. I get it.

108
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:18,360
I get it. We got to add Boom. There we go. All right. Hold on. Hold on. Hold

109
00:08:15,919 --> 00:08:22,479
on. Hold on. Not yet. Not yet. Oh, I got you. Yeah. No, no, it's fine.

110
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:28,639
We're all good. We're all good. You're good. All right. Hit it.

111
00:08:25,919 --> 00:08:32,839
And then Yes. Look at us in that corner over there. That's adorable. You're like

112
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:37,599
a You're like a cute little ogre. A I didn't have colored hair then. What

113
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:41,440
were they called? Were they ogres? Uh oh, no. Trolls. Trolls. Okay. Okay. No.

114
00:08:39,839 --> 00:08:48,959
If someone here was a troll, it would be me. So, all right. So, we may have a

115
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:54,640
wireless standard coming. Oh my gosh. That is theoretically faster than any

116
00:08:51,839 --> 00:09:00,720
wired standard that we can get at a consumer level. And I got to kind of sit

117
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:02,800
here and wonder what is the point of

118
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:06,720
these faster and faster wireless standards when they never work right

119
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:11,760
anyway. Can you please all focus your I know

120
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:17,440
that wireless is exciting and Intel had that whole thing where they're like

121
00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:18,880
wireless by 20 what was it 2016 or 2018

122
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:23,440
would like replace everything or whatever I was 7 Gbit per second thing.

123
00:09:21,839 --> 00:09:26,560
They want your display and your peripherals to all be wireless. And I'm

124
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:31,040
kind of sitting there looking looking at that going, "Okay, so Intel, out of one side of your mouth, you're going

125
00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:36,320
wireless everything and out of the other side of your mouth, you're working with

126
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:39,920
with Apple on the Mac Pro, which is like

127
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:41,680
the octopus of wires." Well, maybe the

128
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:46,920
idea is that a Mac Pro released around that time wouldn't have to be an Oculus

129
00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:51,360
octopus of wires. Hold on. Hold that

130
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:55,440
thought. Wireless octopus.

131
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:56,800
New Think Geek item. me like just like

132
00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:00,560
randomly crawls around your desk and annoys your cat. You know, I was looking

133
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:07,120
into it because I have a bit of a I have a bit of an infatuation with remote

134
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:10,240
controls gear. And as much as I am a

135
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:12,240
crappy heli pilot, I'm actually I'm no

136
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:18,160
I'm a better plane pilot than a heli pilot, but not by much. And cars, I

137
00:10:15,399 --> 00:10:22,079
basically have never really used a decent one. So, I'm I'm definitely not

138
00:10:19,839 --> 00:10:26,399
good with those. So, but I still I I love that stuff. I geek out over it. So,

139
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:33,040
I was looking to see if you can get a really sweet RC submarine

140
00:10:29,839 --> 00:10:35,680
because I actually built one in my grade

141
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:39,600
11 technology class. Like, we did it as a project. So, we made them out of PVC

142
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,800
and then what you'd do is you'd put as much styrofoam as you need to make it

143
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:47,839
neutally buoyant once you have your motors and your uh and your wires and

144
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:52,160
everything on it. And we actually made fully functional submarines. Like,

145
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:57,120
everyone in the class made one. Uh we we made our own watertight motors out of

146
00:10:54,959 --> 00:11:00,320
film canisters. It's funny cuz my son won't even know what a film canister is.

147
00:10:58,959 --> 00:11:06,160
Yeah, I know. But they're so useful for that kind of stuff. Out of film canisters and then wax seals with motors

148
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:12,959
inside them so they stay dry and they could actually move in every direction.

149
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:14,720
So we had XYZ axis movement. And um the

150
00:11:12,959 --> 00:11:18,480
thing I didn't like about them though was that obviously some kind of a

151
00:11:16,959 --> 00:11:21,880
wireless transmitter that's going to be able to punch through water is going to

152
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:26,880
be either non-existent or very expensive. So we were stuck with a wired

153
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:31,200
control. So no matter how perfectly neutally buoyant you made the thing, as

154
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:34,959
it moved up in the water, there would be more weight on it and as it moved down

155
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:38,720
there would be less. So you would never have that that perfect control of it.

156
00:11:36,959 --> 00:11:42,160
So, I was looking I was I was just like, "Is there a hobbyist grade remote

157
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:46,000
control submarine that you could put like a GoPro on?" Because it's the kind

158
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:50,800
of thing you'd use once. I was gonna say, "But the the GoPro part of that would be really cool." You'd be like,

159
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:53,680
"Yeah, this is cool. Now, I'll never do it again." But like whatever it would

160
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,880
be, but you can kind of go diving with it. Yeah, kind of. Yeah. Yeah. You could

161
00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:00,320
go see like fish or stuff. You take it with you on vacation or whatever. Maybe

162
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:03,839
not once, but not that often. But they don't really have anything. So, speaking

163
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:09,000
of Yeah, just wireless basically not working. So anyway, Huawei has tested

164
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:15,519
Wi-Fi based on future standard 802.118X that can hit 10.5 gigabit per

165
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:19,200
second. So that's about 10 times faster than what you typically get out of 80

166
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:24,959
2.11 AC connection today. This was posted by Querty Warrior on the forum.

167
00:12:22,079 --> 00:12:29,120
The trick, the company says, is making more efficient use of the airwaves.

168
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:33,120
Thank you for that highly technical elaborate explanation of the trick,

169
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:36,160
Huawei. The new technology is smarter at allocating wireless spectrum, juggling

170
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:40,320
data between multiple antennas, and cutting back on interference. They don't

171
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:45,279
even have to switch to ultra high frequencies to make the magic happen. It

172
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:49,920
works at 5 GHz, which is great because an inherent property of those higher

173
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:55,040
frequency signals is that the range will be shorter. So, it's good that we don't

174
00:12:52,959 --> 00:12:58,800
have to go any higher than that. Uh, you're still a long way from picking one

175
00:12:56,560 --> 00:13:04,320
of these up. They figure that they may hit the market sometime in

176
00:13:01,399 --> 00:13:09,279
2018. I guess it's just frustrating because wireless is getting all these

177
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:15,000
developments dumped into it and we're still using gigabit wired.

178
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:19,279
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? We're trying to move away from

179
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,720
that. Yeah, we're trying to move away from it, but it's extremely expensive

180
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:28,000
and no one's really putting the effort into making it affordable. The cabling

181
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:31,040
is not that bad. No, the wiring is fine.

182
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,560
It's the switches and the adapters.

183
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:38,399
Yeah. That you'll spend a ton of money on. And it's frustrating because you heard JJ talking about it. What did he

184
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:41,920
say? It was going to add about $150 to the bomb cost of a motherboard 200. So,

185
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:48,880
if they can integrate it onto a motherboard for $150, where's my $150

186
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:50,959
Nick? Or $165, $170, whatever the case

187
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:54,720
may be. Like, no one's even really making an effort. they're content to

188
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:59,680
just let it sit there as a high-end solution forever. And I really think

189
00:13:57,199 --> 00:14:04,880
that with SSDs increasing in speed the way that they are, looking at how NVMe,

190
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:08,880
so that's the replacement for AHCI, the communication protocol by which the SSD

191
00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:12,480
communicates with your system. So looking at what they can do with NVMe in

192
00:14:10,639 --> 00:14:17,199
terms of improving throughput and reducing latency, there's no reason why

193
00:14:15,199 --> 00:14:21,440
two PCs on the same network with a couple of high-speed PCI Express or M.2

194
00:14:19,279 --> 00:14:26,720
Two SSDs couldn't be transferring files to each other at like two gigabytes per

195
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:28,399
second. Like, let's do this. Let's do

196
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:31,440
it. Did I say two gigabytes per second? Cuz what I meant to say was like 200

197
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:36,000
megabytes per second, you know. Actually, a lot more than that. 500,

198
00:14:33,399 --> 00:14:40,800
600,00 not 200. Yeah. Not Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Yes.

199
00:14:38,199 --> 00:14:43,279
So, that never happened. There's a few numbers in there that you should ignore.

200
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:49,199
The numbers you should be paying attention to are we could easily be doing 500 plus megabyt per second

201
00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:55,199
transfers across a network. um straight from drive to drive which is very very

202
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:57,040
cool. All right. Now this this topic

203
00:14:55,199 --> 00:15:03,360
this is an interesting this is an interesting topic. The thing that can do

204
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:06,720
all the things. Now I really liked what

205
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:09,680
was it the uh the transformer book duo

206
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:14,480
or trio. the one that you could just press a button to switch between and

207
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:18,560
where the where the Android and Windows operating systems were actually running

208
00:15:16,399 --> 00:15:23,760
off of the same drive like it was more like a dual boot. This is a little bit

209
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:29,519
different my friends. So the Transformer Book V or five I'm assuming let's say

210
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:37,519
five. Pretty sure five. Okay, it's a five in one. It's an Android tablet, an

211
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:38,839
Android smartphone, a Windows tablet, a

212
00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:45,199
Windows laptop, and something. A Windows phone,

213
00:15:43,199 --> 00:15:49,759
Android, Windows. What the hell is this thing? So, basically, it's everything.

214
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:53,440
You can you what you do is I'm going to Here, I'm going to blow up this picture

215
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:56,480
off a little bit here. Yeah, you can you can click the phone in the back and you

216
00:15:54,959 --> 00:16:00,720
can click the screen to the keyboard. Yes. So, much like previous

217
00:15:58,279 --> 00:16:04,720
Transformers, there is a hard drive down here in the keyboard because there's

218
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:10,639
only an SSD up here in the tablet piece. You've also got an extended battery in

219
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,680
the tablet, I believe. So, the phone has

220
00:16:10,639 --> 00:16:16,560
You know what? Here, I'm just going to go I'm going to go back to my uh to my

221
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:21,440
cheat sheet for this thing here. So, yeah. So, there's a 2500 millia battery

222
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:27,279
in the phone and then a 4,000 some odd millah battery in the tablet, I believe.

223
00:16:25,199 --> 00:16:31,040
unless that's in the keyboard. This is the most confusing thing ever. The point

224
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:35,360
is the phone has a 1080p screen and actually um a pretty high-end spec as

225
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:40,079
far as phones are concerned. And then the tablet is a 12 1/2 in IPS display

226
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:43,839
and everything kind of slots into everything. The tablet itself doesn't

227
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:49,759
have Android running off of it. That's actually going to run off of the phone

228
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:52,480
hardware. So, it's it's a Windows laptop

229
00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:57,360
and an Android phone essentially that can just like slowly come together.

230
00:16:55,120 --> 00:17:06,240
Yeah, this thing is like freaking bizarro though. It's kind of cool. I am

231
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:08,880
less on board with this one than I am

232
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:13,360
with the uh the last one that we looked at to be perfectly honest. I I just But

233
00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:18,000
didn't they get booted out of that for some reason? Yes. But that was such an

234
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:23,039
elegant solution because you had one set of hardware. So on the same Atom

235
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:25,880
processor, you could run your Android OS or your Windows OS and you could switch

236
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:30,880
between them in like three or four steamboats. Whereas this one, you can

237
00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:35,440
switch between them, but it's more like using one as a display off of which the

238
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:40,640
other one's running. They're not actually running on the same hardware.

239
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:45,840
So, it's an Intel Atom CPU in the tablet and then it's a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800

240
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:51,240
or something like that in the other piece. So, my notes for this one

241
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:53,960
actually aren't that uh aren't that

242
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:58,720
complete. And of course, F doesn't work in Internet

243
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:02,960
Explorer because I'm a genius and I'm using Internet Explorer. Everyone rips

244
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:06,559
on you about that like every single show. I don't think it's listed. Yeah,

245
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:11,039
it's not listed. I was I was looking at a couple of different articles where it has a little bit more information than

246
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:16,640
the Gizmodo one. So, okay, that would explain why I can't find it.

247
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:23,200
So, tell me guys, it's in terms of device

248
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:25,840
convergence, would you want a a a dummy

249
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:30,000
device like this? Something that uh I think I think if it makes sense

250
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:35,200
financially, I could see myself doing it. Like if I wanted all these things

251
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:41,200
and for some reason had to refresh them all at the exact same time, which is

252
00:18:38,919 --> 00:18:44,559
weird and it like made sense financially, then I could see myself

253
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:48,240
spending money on it if it's actually a good device. I think we'd have to use it

254
00:18:47,039 --> 00:18:54,880
first. And this is going to be something that I definitely want to see in the store if I was a random consumer because

255
00:18:52,559 --> 00:18:58,120
I'd want to like actually try clicking it in and make sure that the phone is

256
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:03,760
not just going to like fall out of the back and other things like that that I

257
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:05,360
would want to try. I don't know. Okay,

258
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:12,320
so here we go. We've got a summary from ASUS up now. So it is a Windows

259
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:15,600
notebook, a Windows tablet, an Android

260
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:19,280
phone, an Android tablet, and an Android

261
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:22,679
laptop. So that is how the whole thing

262
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:25,840
works. And the detachable Android

263
00:19:22,679 --> 00:19:29,320
smartphone is detachable. So that's the

264
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:32,559
piece that is not not Windows phone at

265
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,919
all. So this is interesting. Okay. Okay.

266
00:19:32,559 --> 00:19:37,520
Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. So it wasn't a Qualcomm chip on the uh on

267
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:41,520
the phone. That's actually that's actually very interesting. So, it is an

268
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:48,240
Atom quad core on the phone and then it is a nextG core processor on the

269
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:50,480
notebook/t piece itself. So, this gives

270
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:57,200
us a much better rundown of the overall specs. So, 64 up to 64 gigs on the phone

271
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:59,640
up to 128 gigs on the tablet with the 1

272
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:04,320
TBTE one being detachable in the keyboard. There we go. Much more clear.

273
00:20:02,799 --> 00:20:07,600
Maybe next time we should go to the manufacturer site in the first place.

274
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:12,799
So, I really hope we get a unit of this cuz I'd definitely be interested in

275
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:14,400
checking it out and giving it a shot. I

276
00:20:12,799 --> 00:20:18,080
should probably let them know that we'd be interested in checking it out.

277
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaking of things that we're interested in checking out, ASUS has been doing

278
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:25,919
their pad phones, so phones made by

279
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:29,600
ASUS, Android phones, for a while in other markets. Uh, Taiwan in particular,

280
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:35,520
you've been able to get a pad phone for like a couple of years now. Quite a while. Yeah. Um, it gets covered in the

281
00:20:33,039 --> 00:20:39,520
North American media a little bit, but understandably not much because they

282
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:44,000
haven't been available here. But it's finally coming. So, this is probably

283
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:48,159
where I got that Snapdragon thing that was sitting in my head because this one

284
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:53,200
does use a Snapdragon 800 processor. But, basically, it's a high-end phone.

285
00:20:49,919 --> 00:20:55,840
It's going to be $200 with a contract.

286
00:20:53,200 --> 00:21:00,880
And, uh, we are definitely getting a unit for review. So, it's got a 5 in

287
00:20:57,919 --> 00:21:04,159
screen, 1920 x 12. Wait, hold on a second. Right. Sorry. This one, no

288
00:21:02,799 --> 00:21:09,840
wonder I was confused. This one's a phone and it docks to a tablet. But in

289
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:12,000
this one, the tablet is just a dummy.

290
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:15,919
Yeah, it's basically just a screen except that it also has keyboard and

291
00:21:14,159 --> 00:21:21,440
it's probably cheaper. Yeah. So, this one is a 2,300 mAh battery in the phone

292
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:24,240
and a 4990 mAh battery in the tablet. So, you put them together and what do

293
00:21:22,559 --> 00:21:27,720
you got? Bippity bobbity bop. Bigger battery.

294
00:21:26,039 --> 00:21:31,280
Um, fascinating. I I mean, okay, we need to

295
00:21:30,159 --> 00:21:40,640
create a straw poll for this or something. Can you get a straw poll going? So, are you interested in a phone

296
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:42,240
that merges with a tablet? And guys,

297
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:45,280
give us your thoughts on Twitter as well. Just hit me at Linus Techch. We're

298
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:49,679
going to do a Twitter blitz on this. What would you need to see? So, between

299
00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:52,880
the notebook that has an Android operating system and a window Wind

300
00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:56,760
Windows operating system running on two completely separate pieces of hardware

301
00:21:54,640 --> 00:22:01,760
and it's like notebook/tabt/detachable phone versus

302
00:21:58,799 --> 00:22:06,640
the Padphone X, which is a phone with like a tablet dock that the phone goes

303
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:10,240
into. Uh, so anyway, the phone has a 1080p screen. The tablet's got a 9 in

304
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:15,120
screen. The whole thing runs Android. They're claiming up to 10 hours of

305
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:17,120
battery life for video playback. And

306
00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:20,559
what an interesting device. I'm actually really looking forward to checking this

307
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:27,880
out. Results so far are extremely even at 51% and 49%. Wow. I think this is the

308
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:30,000
most even poll we've ever had. Holy

309
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:32,559
balls. Okay. Well, we'll give you guys the results of that. If you can I am

310
00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:37,360
that over to me, then I'll check it out in a moment. But guys, we've got some pictures here that I want to put up on

311
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:42,240
the screen from the end gadget article about the Padphone X. So, here's the way

312
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:45,919
that the phone and as you can see, it'll be on the AT&T network. So, here's the

313
00:22:43,919 --> 00:22:53,320
way that the phone docks into the back of the pad phone station, which is the 9

314
00:22:49,039 --> 00:22:58,400
in 16x10 1920 x 1200

315
00:22:53,320 --> 00:23:01,440
tablet. For 200 bucks on contract, would

316
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:03,919
you accept a little bit of a reduction

317
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:09,600
in terms of like fancy specs and features like what you might get on an

318
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:11,200
HTC 1M8 for a more basic phone, but one

319
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:14,799
that comes with a tablet now that you've actually spent some time using a tablet?

320
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:21,200
Probably not. I know. I know that might sound

321
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:26,320
surprising because I was paying for the tablet, but that tablet was only 200

322
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:30,240
bucks in itself. But this is 200 bucks on contract and the tablety part comes

323
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:34,880
with your phone that you are. And let's assume you already need a phone. Yeah.

324
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:39,120
But then at the same time, uh, independent batteries is kind of nice.

325
00:23:36,799 --> 00:23:43,320
They do have independent batteries. Can the tablet charge the phone?

326
00:23:44,559 --> 00:23:50,480
Like I'm not sure exactly how it works or does it just just run off the battery

327
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:54,559
on the tablet? Hard to say. Hard to say. It can run

328
00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:58,880
independently is kind of nice as well. Yeah. Which it can't. Yeah, because like

329
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:03,120
I don't know. There's Wow, it's exactly 50/50. What the heck? Um I I put it in

330
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:07,280
the dock so you can find it. It's right under this topic. But I being able to

331
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:11,520
run it independently is nice. Uh that way like if someone's over and you have

332
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:14,080
your Chromecast set up to be able to stream things off your tablet, they can

333
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:18,400
be looking at your tablet and you can still have usability of your phone.

334
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:23,840
Other things like that would be nice. Um if it's going to be like $50

335
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:27,120
more compared to buying an equivalent phone and you just get this tablet dock

336
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:30,080
thing as well, I think that's pretty cool and I'd probably go for that, which

337
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:35,279
does kind of make sense and sounds like what it actually is. So I'd probably be

338
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:39,600
I'd probably be down. Wow. But I'm not super into buying phones on contract

339
00:24:36,799 --> 00:24:44,960
anymore anyways. That's exactly 50/50. Well, no is technically winning, but

340
00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:47,760
like yeah, not by much. If anyone hasn't

341
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:51,760
uh Yeah, if anyone hasn't voted yet, we can go ahead and pop that in there

342
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:56,000
again. But that is absolutely amazing. So, it looks like there's definitely

343
00:24:53,840 --> 00:25:01,559
some interest in the whole tablet phone merger thing, but it remains to be seen

344
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:04,799
if anyone other than ASUS has the uh has

345
00:25:01,559 --> 00:25:07,279
the wherewithal or the willingness or

346
00:25:04,799 --> 00:25:10,320
whatever you would call it. Yeah. wants to make one. I mean, it's the kind of

347
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:14,799
thing you could see Samsung kind of going, "Oh, something we didn't think

348
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:19,760
of. Let's make one, too." And then so everything that Samsung does. Yeah,

349
00:25:16,559 --> 00:25:21,440
pretty much. It's like an idea. We're

350
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:25,440
not sure if it's good or not, but let's make sure that we're cover our bases and

351
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:29,679
make really bad commercials to go along with them. Oh, that, you know, they were

352
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:34,480
on a roll for a bit. That whole next best thing was great and then it their

353
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,760
most recent one that they will not stop playing on YouTube is actually pretty

354
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:43,840
okay. Is it okay? I haven't seen that one yet. All right. It's for

355
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:46,960
um their their their watch and their phone at the same time in one

356
00:25:45,039 --> 00:25:50,320
commercial. Okay. But it's like it's not that bad. It's it's fairly upbeat. It

357
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:53,360
doesn't have a terrible story line like the one with the guy picking up the

358
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:56,799
chick with his smartwatch. Yeah. Yeah. None of that kind of stuff. It's just

359
00:25:55,200 --> 00:26:02,080
it's it's just kind of an upbeat commercial in itself. That was really hard to watch. It was It was like

360
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:06,000
painful. All right. So, let's uh So, it looks like No is actually winning now,

361
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:09,919
but only by 2%. Let's hit the Twitters. All right.

362
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:13,840
Okay. All that Twitter interaction that we often forget to do sometimes these

363
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:19,919
days. It's on a crazy angle. Do you want me to turn it? Uh, sorry. Do you want me to turn this? Sure. Yeah, that couldn't

364
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:24,240
hurt. Whoa. That's kind of trippy when someone turns the monitor while you're

365
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:32,039
holding the mouse still. It's like, "Oh, my mouse is moving, man."

366
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:32,039
Oh, wow. Whoa, man.

367
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:37,760
All right. So, the original phone pad distributes the battery power evenly.

368
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:41,760
Not sure if the new one does, though. That's interesting. So, either one could charge off the other, I guess, right?

369
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:46,080
That would be kind of cool, actually. Okay. Craig says, "Not a fan of the

370
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:50,000
combination of the two. If one breaks, then I have half a tablet. I don't see

371
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:54,159
the benefit to having them connect. Okay, that's interesting. But I mean, by

372
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:57,520
that logic, um that's not really why buy a stereo that has both left and right

373
00:26:56,159 --> 00:27:01,440
speakers because then if one of the speakers fails, you only have half a

374
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:04,799
stereo. That's not even right because they disconnect. Yeah. If one of them

375
00:27:03,120 --> 00:27:08,159
breaks, you either have a tablet and not a phone or you have a phone and not a

376
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:11,600
tablet. You will never Well, because the tablet won't work without the phone. So,

377
00:27:09,919 --> 00:27:15,200
you've either got a phone and no tablet or you have nothing. So, if your phone

378
00:27:13,039 --> 00:27:19,919
breaks, you're totally screwed. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know that that's not

379
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:23,520
really I have my Pad phone X pre-ordered. I get an almost

380
00:27:21,679 --> 00:27:26,080
top-of-the-line phone and tablet on one data plan. That That's a good point.

381
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:31,360
That's a very good point. That's a very good point. The data plan point because

382
00:27:28,799 --> 00:27:36,960
for some reason the wireless carriers are still determined to fleece us on the

383
00:27:34,159 --> 00:27:41,960
whole idea that we should be able to use our data across multiple devices. It's

384
00:27:39,919 --> 00:27:47,520
like I I just stuff so annoying stuff battles

385
00:27:45,039 --> 00:27:53,919
that were won you know a hundred years ago like you know

386
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:55,840
I actually now that I think of it it's

387
00:27:53,919 --> 00:28:00,000
not that different from other things. I mean, you look at

388
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:04,320
um you look at the way that your cable TV provider once you switched off of

389
00:28:02,799 --> 00:28:09,039
analog where you could just use splitters and they kind of like were

390
00:28:06,399 --> 00:28:14,559
like, "Oh yeah, you need a digital box. Rent another digital box for every TV.

391
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:16,240
Yeah, it costs extra." Um yeah, I guess

392
00:28:14,559 --> 00:28:20,240
that's just the way everything's going. You have to subscribe per device rather

393
00:28:18,159 --> 00:28:24,399
than per person. It's very annoying. Except Except for Netflix. So, you just

394
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,760
have to subscribe per device that's streaming at that point in time. It's

395
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:30,799
whatever works out better for whoever's providing it to you. So, you look at

396
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:35,279
something like Windows. If I could license Windows per person, I'd be

397
00:28:32,799 --> 00:28:42,080
thrilled. And that's per device. And then you look at actually, what is per

398
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:43,840
person? Oh, boy. Well, isn't uh Adobe

399
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:46,960
Creative Cloud technically per person? Oh, yeah. That's per person, but it's

400
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:50,720
just not infinite amount of devices. It's like three or something. Two. Yeah,

401
00:28:48,559 --> 00:28:54,000
two devices. So, basically, it's like uh but you can bounce around. You just

402
00:28:51,919 --> 00:28:58,159
can't be logged in working on that many at one time. That's all. Okay. If they

403
00:28:56,399 --> 00:29:01,120
can make the phone not protrude so weirdly and the specs are still solid

404
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:05,760
and the battery is good, I'd get a combo dealio. You know, I don't see how they

405
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:09,360
would do that anytime soon though. Unless it was more like the phone kind

406
00:29:07,279 --> 00:29:13,360
of clips on because you're going to want the tablet to be really thin and you're

407
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:18,200
going to want the phone to have support while it's clipped in. Unless it was

408
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:22,159
like unless there was Yeah, I can't think of a good way to do

409
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:26,000
that. Not really. We're also not engineers though.

410
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:31,360
I would be interested in a phone tablet hybrid, but I feel if the tab is 9 in,

411
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:33,360
the phone is a bit too big at 5 in. 5 in

412
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:38,240
is not that big of a phone these days, though, which is funny to me because I

413
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:42,880
still think weird. I still find it big cuz my hands are still small. They

414
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:46,720
didn't change because screen sizes

415
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:49,039
became a fad that got bigger. Um, and I

416
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:52,919
find 9 in is a pretty comfortable size for a tablet. That's only a little bit

417
00:29:50,559 --> 00:29:58,559
smaller than the iPad. So, really, I didn't say anything. 9 in

418
00:29:56,799 --> 00:30:02,320
is a comfortable size for a tablet. I didn't even pause suggesting. I didn't

419
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:07,200
say anything. You can click in whatever you want. Will says, "I would need to

420
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:11,799
see a quad core on everything. Greater than six pounds total weight." What are

421
00:30:10,159 --> 00:30:16,919
you asking for? Why would you want a sixb tablet?

422
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:22,720
All right, Will, you're done. I think he's done his things wrong. Most phones

423
00:30:21,039 --> 00:30:25,440
have the specs to power a tablet anyway. Yeah, it's basically the same hardware.

424
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:30,000
I mean, you look at the Apple side of things. They're just putting the same chips in their phones and their tablets.

425
00:30:28,559 --> 00:30:33,360
Makes sense for them to converge, but only if it's cheaper than two devices.

426
00:30:31,919 --> 00:30:37,919
And if you're saving money on the hardware and on the data plan, and

427
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:42,600
basically you're just buying another screen in a shell, then there's definitely a savings to be had there.

428
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:47,360
Yeah. Yeah. As a mobile game developer, I need

429
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:53,399
top-end hardware. Both of these are clearly lacking high-end CPUs and

430
00:30:51,720 --> 00:31:00,320
GPUs. Um, in what way? Because there's

431
00:30:57,679 --> 00:31:05,520
actually only one CPU and one GPU. The tablet doesn't have one. So, this is

432
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:10,080
running a Hold on. If I can find it. Yes. Does he mean both of these as in

433
00:31:07,679 --> 00:31:14,240
the tablet dock and the phone, or is he talking about this and the Transformer

434
00:31:12,159 --> 00:31:19,200
5? I'm not sure. It's very hard for me to say at this point in time. Um, but

435
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:25,200
yeah, it's a Snapdragon 800, so it's not it's I mean, it doesn't get a whole load

436
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:30,480
faster than that in terms of a mobile CPU. I mean, the 805 is marginally

437
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:34,240
better at certain things, but it's not a quantum lead forward or anything like

438
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:37,360
that, so I don't see that making much of a difference. All right, should we move

439
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:42,960
on to our next topic here? Sure. All right. What do we got? the monitor that

440
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:47,440
you're probably going to be excited about. Actually, believe it or not, I'm

441
00:31:45,679 --> 00:31:51,360
not. Or are we gonna Nope. Nope. We're going to keep doing topics. Uh, why not?

442
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:55,360
Oh, is there a monitor that I will be excited about? No, I I was just saying

443
00:31:53,039 --> 00:32:00,159
like it seemed to be one big call of ASUS topics. Well, it was Computex.

444
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:03,600
Computex is a big show for Taiwanese companies, so it makes a lot of sense

445
00:32:01,919 --> 00:32:11,039
that ASUS would have had a lot going on there. So, why not? This is the PA 328Q.

446
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:17,600
It's a 32 inch 4K. So that's 138 pixels per inch. Factory calibrated just like

447
00:32:13,919 --> 00:32:20,960
ProArts tend to be 10 bit color, 100%

448
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:22,960
sRGB, wide color gamut capable. It's got

449
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:26,399
three HDMI inputs, one of which supports MHL, so you can output off your phone to

450
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:31,440
your monitor, as if anyone's ever done that ever. Um, I was corrected about

451
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:38,039
that today, by the I was telling um the wheels over at NCIX that I think that

452
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:42,039
tablets outputting to TVs doesn't matter

453
00:32:38,039 --> 00:32:44,799
because chcast is sort of a thing.

454
00:32:42,039 --> 00:32:49,279
And yeah, and he's like, "Nope, I do it all the time." Why? I I couldn't quite

455
00:32:47,919 --> 00:32:53,760
understand what he was talking about, but basically I concluded that he's

456
00:32:51,039 --> 00:32:57,519
drunk. Okay. I was like, "So, how are you proved wrong here? I don't

457
00:32:55,440 --> 00:33:01,919
understand." So, what's exciting about this one, even though ASUS doesn't have

458
00:32:59,039 --> 00:33:06,159
a clear idea of when exactly it will be released or what exactly the price will

459
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:12,000
be, it will be considerably cheaper than the $3,000 PQ series. Um, which was

460
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:15,600
launched actually, I believe the first time we saw it was Computex last year. I

461
00:33:13,919 --> 00:33:20,159
think so. It's amazing the way prices are dropping on dim 4Ks, eh, it's

462
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:25,360
exciting. Yeah, it's might actually be reasonable at some point in time. And in

463
00:33:22,799 --> 00:33:28,640
terms of the actual display quality, well, it's not 100% clear what it'll be

464
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:34,080
right now. They're not actually telling us what panel type it'll be, but 10 bit

465
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:37,440
color, factory color calibrated, this could actually be anything. Hard to say.

466
00:33:35,679 --> 00:33:42,159
Anyway, this is the same size as that one. Has a whack ton of inputs, is much

467
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:46,799
much cheaper, and should be landing sometime in the next sort of little

468
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:51,120
while. Uh, but they're ending they're aiming for about half the price of the

469
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:56,720
older PQ. So, we should be looking at like 1500 to 2,000ish, somewhere in that

470
00:33:54,240 --> 00:34:00,399
range. So, why not interested? Uh, because I just don't care about 4K

471
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:07,600
anymore. Oh, because you want your wide format. Yeah, I'm done. 4K is

472
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:10,240
until scaling is fixed.

473
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:15,280
Yeah. Then I I can't I can't bring myself to use it. I'm not going to

474
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:18,000
upgrade to a display that makes some

475
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:23,280
things look extremely sharp and other things look worse than before and some

476
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:27,040
things incredibly hard to read and weird website formatting and all this other

477
00:34:24,879 --> 00:34:31,119
stuff and all that stuff that that you know Microsoft and application

478
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:39,599
developers really needed to be working on over the last few years as opposed to

479
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:41,839
oh 4K is here oh I guess we better do

480
00:34:39,599 --> 00:34:45,280
something. Some of them are reacting, some just aren't. Some just aren't

481
00:34:43,359 --> 00:34:49,520
reacting at all. And that that kind of attitude is what sets Apple apart. And I

482
00:34:47,839 --> 00:34:54,560
know I come across as a bit of an Apple fanboy, but some of the things that they

483
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:57,119
do are really, really good and they're

484
00:34:54,560 --> 00:35:02,000
good things. the fact that they figured out how to make scaling work properly on

485
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:06,000
their oss before rolling out the hardware that supports it or at the same

486
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:10,480
like put just putting in the work to make sure that things actually function

487
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:14,800
the way that they intend is uh is the kind of thing I feel like I should be

488
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:17,599
able to take for granted but I know that

489
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:23,680
I can't not at all not on our platforms. So speaking of Apple shilling yeah iOS 8

490
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:27,839
actually pretty pretty excited to try iOS 8. Um, some of the stuff here

491
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:33,920
doesn't look that interesting. I mean, HomeKit is going to be really excit

492
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:36,960
Okay, McAfee, just screw off. Um,

493
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:38,720
HomeKit is going to be either a massive

494
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:43,680
success in the future or there's going to be something else that completely

495
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:47,599
destroys it and is way better, but that's Apple's Apple's way of

496
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:52,640
integrating their device with home automation stuff like your blinds or

497
00:35:49,839 --> 00:35:56,480
your thermostat or your door lock. um they're building security into it so

498
00:35:54,480 --> 00:36:00,800
that the theory is that no one can unlock your door except you. What's I

499
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:05,599
mean what's interesting is with that whole thing with people remotely locking

500
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:14,280
iPhones and then holding them for ransom. Um, that was that was one thing,

501
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:17,760
but oh my god, breaking into people's

502
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:20,079
phones and breaking into people

503
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:25,920
basically breaking into someone's ecosystem of digital devices is going to

504
00:36:23,359 --> 00:36:31,839
be a really scary thing. You know what would be interesting would be offline

505
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:33,440
phones like having having a phone which

506
00:36:31,839 --> 00:36:37,280
is like your public phone which you don't store anything super crazy on. Are

507
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:41,440
you a drug dealer? And then having like a phone that you don't put a SIM card

508
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:45,200
in. Do you often cheat on women? What? Why are you Why is two phones your

509
00:36:43,119 --> 00:36:48,480
solution to every problem? You've been watching too much Breaking Bad. I do

510
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:51,359
that a lot, too. I have two phones right now. Anyways,

511
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:56,960
um no to both those questions. But seriously, you could have one that's set

512
00:36:55,680 --> 00:37:00,720
up for all your home automation and everything. Yes. Does not connect to the

513
00:36:59,119 --> 00:37:04,079
internet. Okay. So, you don't have to worry nearly as much about getting

514
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,720
hijacked. These could still possibly get hijacked through other devices or

515
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:11,680
whatever, but it's going to be extremely difficult and it would probably have to be targeted directly at you instead of

516
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:17,520
just a random I think this is an incredibly stupid solution to the

517
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:19,760
problem. Wow. Why? That's so mean.

518
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:24,240
Because it's the same reason no one Okay, basically what mobile phones have

519
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:30,800
huge security holes. So completely removing that security hole is helpful.

520
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:38,160
at basically what you're suggesting is we bring back the PDA

521
00:37:33,359 --> 00:37:39,440
kind of an offline phone. Yeah. No. Why?

522
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:45,839
Because it's stupid. Well, if you're worried about your house getting hijacked, a straw pole. Okay, fine. A

523
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:50,839
straw pole. Offline. Offline phones. Do they need to be a thing or is Slick an

524
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:56,960
idiot? Those can be the only two options. Yes, we need these. Luke is an

525
00:37:54,160 --> 00:38:00,680
idiot. I'm going to get destroyed.

526
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:06,240
Sometimes you don't think before you talk. No, I actually still agree with

527
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:10,720
this though. But it doesn't have to be a phone. It could be just like a a a

528
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:15,920
device that can control these. Okay. But I think the kind of device you're

529
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:18,079
thinking of is just is like is is like

530
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:22,560
way overkill. What I see happening is what that's what I mean. It doesn't have

531
00:38:19,839 --> 00:38:25,839
to be Yeah. But like whatever it is, it should be some device that has no

532
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:29,920
internet connectivity and can go with you. I think I would still want a screen. I just want to see a straw pole

533
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:33,119
where everyone calls you an idiot. That was that was most of it. I still want a

534
00:38:31,599 --> 00:38:36,960
screen. That's why I said phone. Would you need a screen once you're more

535
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:41,839
immersed in a wearable type of ecosystem? So your glass as of right

536
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:44,400
now, I do think so because well glasses can be connected to the internet. If you

537
00:38:43,119 --> 00:38:49,680
connect your glass to that device, then you're just creating a hole. What if you don't? What if you what if you just go

538
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:53,920
like what if you just touch your ring against your glass? It goes into

539
00:38:51,839 --> 00:38:59,680
airplane mode. Hold on. What if it just acts as a display? So the processing's

540
00:38:56,839 --> 00:39:03,040
here. Everything is here except just a display link. There's there's no way to

541
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:08,000
to my knowledge. There's no way to to hack a DVI connection. Like that's a

542
00:39:05,839 --> 00:39:11,359
pretty minor issue. I don't really know. So if you if you use that as a control,

543
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:14,880
so you basically just had your glass and then you could like gesture or do

544
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:19,359
whatever else or type in the air or whatever solutions they end up coming up

545
00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:20,640
with. I think that's feasible. So a

546
00:39:19,359 --> 00:39:26,800
wearable is probably the right answer here. But I would still want to I don't know. I don't I don't I don't think

547
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:31,680
connecting it to because it's not DVI. I'll tell you what. Tell you what, I

548
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:36,000
will I will bring my old HP pocket PC in. But that's not the same and it's not

549
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:41,440
helpful. It has because I want I would want it to be

550
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:42,960
733 MHz. Oh, no. 533 MHz. I was like,

551
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:48,800
that's actually pretty fast. Xcale processor. All right. It's got like uh

552
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:51,599
this is not the point though. 128. I can have it connected to my parents house. I

553
00:39:50,240 --> 00:39:56,480
can have it connected to my house. I could have it connected to say my significant other's house. And then

554
00:39:54,480 --> 00:40:00,240
whenever I go there, it can recognize me and I can change different things on the

555
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:06,000
device, but then it's not connected to the internet. So, I don't have to worry about those things leaking. I have 64

556
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:09,920
megs of compact flash storage. Stupid pocket PC. That's not what I'm trying to

557
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:15,680
describe. Yeah, that's not the thing in my pocket you care about, I guess. No, it's not. All right, let's go ahead and

558
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:19,640
uh Not as many people grilled me as I thought. Okay, where's uh where's our

559
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:26,640
straw pole? It's It's Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, bollocks. There we

560
00:40:23,359 --> 00:40:28,480
go. All right. No, no, no. Where's

561
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:31,280
Where's ours? I just posted it. You just keep looking away whenever I post it.

562
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:34,720
There you go. There we go. All right. So, let's have a

563
00:40:33,119 --> 00:40:37,480
look at the results of the poll here. Wow. Actually, you're doing better than

564
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:43,440
I thought. 42% of people are blindly

565
00:40:41,359 --> 00:40:48,040
following you off of the abyss like the lemmings that they are. You just want

566
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:50,640
everyone's house to get locked. And

567
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:54,800
68% of you are saying that that's basically a stupid idea from a stupid

568
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:58,240
658%. Well, I I might have embellished. So,

569
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:02,079
they're all following the dude that like can't read anything at all. just adds

570
00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:07,839
numbers together. You know what? Not being able to read is a specific learning disability that actually you

571
00:41:05,359 --> 00:41:13,040
have and I don't. That's No, I can still read, right? But slowly. Yes. Yes. But

572
00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:16,640
that's not what Yeah, that's right. We're making That's not right at all.

573
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:20,960
It's getting personal now, And you're just wrong.

574
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:25,520
At least I don't wet my pants during the show. I don't What? You said you were so

575
00:41:24,240 --> 00:41:30,880
sweaty that your pants were wet. Actually, that was me. But that was so

576
00:41:27,839 --> 00:41:34,599
not true at all. You literally said that

577
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:37,119
like last week.

578
00:41:34,599 --> 00:41:42,160
What? Now you're making Oh man, you're just saying things about yourself and

579
00:41:39,720 --> 00:41:46,800
then that doesn't even make any sense. I'm projecting.

580
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:50,880
Oh my goodness. I'm a troubled person. Um, all right. So, back to iOS 8. It's

581
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:55,720
available for developers in beta now and it'll get a full release in the fall. We

582
00:41:53,200 --> 00:42:01,359
are finally getting third-party keyboards, which is something that I was

583
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:05,599
really disappointed about with uh moving from Android back to iOS. Going back to

584
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:10,720
being stuck with just one keyboard was was was grinding my gears. And this is

585
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:16,319
this is one big step towards me being able to use iOS again. um they do their

586
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:20,880
own their own keyboard is also getting some enhanced um functionality in terms

587
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:25,520
of an auto prediction that predicts the next word based on people that you're

588
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:30,319
talking to and whatever else. Uh so basically like Swift Key except with

589
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:31,760
even tighter integration. Um I wonder if

590
00:42:30,319 --> 00:42:34,880
I wonder if the custom keyboard apps would be able to access that as well. I

591
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:40,319
would hope so. I would hope so because that would be nice because I doesn't doesn't iPhone have that thing where it

592
00:42:38,079 --> 00:42:43,920
like doesn't let you swear and stuff? No. Or can you add it? Can you add a

593
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:47,599
dictionary? Okay. I don't I've never extensively used an iPhone, so I don't

594
00:42:45,359 --> 00:42:51,359
know. Um, so you can reply directly from the notification pull down thing. So you

595
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:56,720
got interactive notifications. Um, their mail app, which I never use because the

596
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:59,280
Gmail one is way better, has gestures

597
00:42:56,720 --> 00:43:04,560
for removing, flagging, and such. Their health kit thing is basically Apple

598
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:06,800
jumping on the whole bandwagon of, you

599
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:11,280
know, heart monitors and whatever. What's kind of cool about health kit is

600
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:14,720
you can actually um have your results being automatically sent over to like

601
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:18,400
Mayo Clinic or your doctor or something like that. So someone else can be

602
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:24,240
helping you helping you track your activity. Um HomeKit I guess is where we

603
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:30,000
got sidetracked. Uh photos taken with any iOS 8 device will be available via

604
00:43:26,319 --> 00:43:32,079
iCloud. So it's like okay kind of like

605
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:38,800
Bit Torrent Sync or Dropbox or Dropbox or whatever. Um, 200 gigs of iCloud is

606
00:43:35,720 --> 00:43:40,800
3.99. Siri now has Shazam integration,

607
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:45,599
which is pretty cool because opening up Shazam was a lot of work. And then

608
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:51,280
finally, it's coming to the iPhone 4S or newer. And get this, the iPad 2 is

609
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:54,400
getting iOS 8. That's actually kind of interesting. That is fantastic. They do

610
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:59,200
some pretty crazy stuff in terms of backwards compatibility. I mean, that's

611
00:43:56,160 --> 00:44:02,720
great. I have tablets from that era that

612
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:05,280
are running like 4.0. Yeah.

613
00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:08,480
That's great. It's like kind of brutal. I I I actually I'm I'm more interested

614
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:12,160
in the Shazam integration than I think you are because it would be nice like

615
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:19,520
especially if you're driving, you don't want to touch your phone. You don't want to go open Shazam and you don't want to

616
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:21,440
be like Siri, open Shazam or whatever.

617
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:24,640
Okay, you're probably right because you said they're they're adding hello Siri

618
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:29,680
kind of support, aren't they? Hey Siri. Hey Siri. Yeah. So, if if you can do

619
00:44:26,839 --> 00:44:32,319
completely handsless, like touchless completely without any worrying, that

620
00:44:31,359 --> 00:44:36,160
would be kind of nice to be able to check songs and stuff. Yeah, you're pro you're probably right. It's probably a

621
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:39,599
bigger deal than I'm giving it credit for because it is something that I use a

622
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:43,920
fair bit because I don't really pay attention to celebrities and No, me

623
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:48,880
neither. Releases. I I'll just be like I'll be in the mall and some horrible

624
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:54,560
song will be on the radio and I'll be like, "Wow, that sounds great.

625
00:44:52,319 --> 00:45:01,599
What is it?" Yeah, I hear you. That's funny. I got to

626
00:44:57,599 --> 00:45:03,280
get me some of that some of that top 40.

627
00:45:01,599 --> 00:45:07,839
All right. Should we save uh let's save the Microsoft promises to do more for PC

628
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:12,880
gaming for later. So, first up is Cortana. Oh my god, I'm so excited. I'm

629
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:17,200
actually stoked for this. Do you want to cover this one? Cuz uh sure. the the

630
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:22,240
I've been super super interested in voice controlling devices for quite a

631
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:26,319
while now and I've been waiting for Cortana announcements and being able to

632
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:31,359
listen to it more in depth and see them talk about it and all that kind of stuff. So I was super excited to see

633
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:35,040
this. If you go to this website either I think both of them have it but N Gadget

634
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:39,599
or VG247 um you can you can listen to audio clips

635
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:43,680
of her talking. Uh, it's it's essentially the answer to Google Now and

636
00:45:41,599 --> 00:45:47,839
Siri for Windows phone, and I think they're adding it to Xbox as well. But

637
00:45:46,240 --> 00:45:52,480
she should be able to have casual conversations with you as well, which is

638
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:56,240
fairly interesting and creepy. It's creepy, but not necessarily because if

639
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:59,680
she could I'm old and afraid of technology, so it's kind of creepy. But

640
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:03,440
go ahead. Okay. I don't think it's that creepy, but I guess I'm not not as old

641
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:08,960
as Linus is. I just don't expect it to work very well cuz there they like in

642
00:46:06,319 --> 00:46:12,400
the articles they have examples. of like kind of cheeky things that she'll say

643
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:15,920
like if you ask her if she's better than Siri, she says, "Not to brag, but

644
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:20,160
apparently I'll help save the universe in about 500 years." And I'm just kind

645
00:46:18,079 --> 00:46:26,240
of like, "Yeah, but all those are like anything that relies on a pre-programmed

646
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:28,720
response is always going to not be that

647
00:46:26,240 --> 00:46:33,280
great. It's like it's like bullet holes in the side of a house in a game. Until

648
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:37,920
we get to the point where the wood dynamically breaks upon impact from the

649
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:44,160
bullet, it's going to look like a video game. Yeah. Yeah. True. Sorry. Go ahead.

650
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:47,760
But uh because it's all in server, they're planning on adding things like

651
00:46:46,319 --> 00:46:52,800
uh jokes and all this kind of stuff as time goes on. Every two weeks, I think they were saying. Yeah. So things like

652
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:56,880
it can go along with current events. So if you ask it about current events, it

653
00:46:54,800 --> 00:47:00,560
can have topical things to say about all that kind of stuff. So, while you're

654
00:46:58,079 --> 00:47:04,000
completely right and it's going to add this weird thing where like you could

655
00:47:02,720 --> 00:47:07,920
ask her the same question a billion times and she's probably going to say the same thing every time and that's

656
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:11,280
going to sound a little weird weird like same thing down to the letter. Yeah. So,

657
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:15,440
and that might be a little bit weird and a little bit disconnecting. They're they're they're going to be adding to it

658
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:18,880
all the time which should help that a lot and and you're kind of right at the

659
00:47:17,839 --> 00:47:23,040
same time. There's going to be this disconnect. The conversations aren't going to feel supernatural. That kind of

660
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:26,720
stuff. I'm I'm sure that's going to happen but this is the start. I also

661
00:47:25,359 --> 00:47:33,599
just don't really have any desire to converse with my phone. Not really.

662
00:47:31,119 --> 00:47:39,839
If it could like I don't know because I really really like um Okay, Google. Now

663
00:47:36,319 --> 00:47:44,000
what's up? Yeah, but it's horrible. It

664
00:47:39,839 --> 00:47:46,079
is so terrible and it is not useful and

665
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:49,839
Okay, you you might have to you might have to sort of I don't have my phone

666
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:54,240
on. I wish I could do I would do a live demo, but I don't. Um, it's I'll go like

667
00:47:52,960 --> 00:48:00,400
I'll have some emails and some text messages and whatever and I'm like, "Okay, Google Now, what's up?" And it's

668
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:02,880
like, "Hello, Luke. The time is 6:47

669
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:05,760
p.m. You have two emails. Subject line blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

670
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:09,520
blah. Okay, done. You have text messages from done. Okay, bye." It's like, what?

671
00:48:08,319 --> 00:48:13,440
That was what? Where's the interactivity? How do I say, "Oh, hey,

672
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:17,520
reply to that message." I can't respond to anything. I don't I don't need to

673
00:48:15,119 --> 00:48:21,599
know the time every single time. Uh the the longest part of her talking to me is

674
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:26,480
her making sure that she takes time in between words saying, "Hello, Luke. The

675
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:30,079
time is blah blah blah." Then once she gets to her email, she blurts email and

676
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:35,119
text messages. She blurts out things super fast. Doesn't always read them

677
00:48:32,359 --> 00:48:38,680
correctly. Um like rifles through it. Doesn't say who it's from. Like I'll get

678
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:44,880
text, it'll be like, "You have a text message. Body of the message doesn't say

679
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:49,680
who it's from. Can't reply to it." I'm just like, "What?" I what I was like

680
00:48:47,599 --> 00:48:54,800
subject line I want you so bad right now and it's like who is this from? There

681
00:48:51,359 --> 00:48:57,640
could be a dozen different people.

682
00:48:54,800 --> 00:49:02,319
Such a player. What? Oh my god. Okay. Anyways, but like

683
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:05,920
there there are a lot of messages that aren't like that that could be from

684
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:09,440
anyone. Um so I don't it's it's annoying and like if someone sends me a text

685
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:12,480
message that's like, "Hey, are you on the way?" This is the time where it

686
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:16,720
would be amazingly helpful. My phone goes off and says I have a text message.

687
00:49:14,559 --> 00:49:21,520
Okay, Google. Now, what's up? Blah blah blah blah blah says, "Hey, are you on

688
00:49:18,720 --> 00:49:25,359
the way?" Oh, respond. Yeah, I'm just driving.

689
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:29,839
That would be amazing. Well, one of the problems that I have with with that I've

690
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:32,960
had with Google's voice activation in general, and they fixed one of them

691
00:49:31,119 --> 00:49:36,960
recently, to their credit, like I got to I got to give them props for this, was

692
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:43,040
the way their voice dialing used to work is you'd say, "Call whoever work or

693
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:48,119
mobile," and it would say, "Do you want to call blah blah blah?" Yes. Or I think

694
00:49:45,839 --> 00:49:51,839
No, no, I think it was um calling whoever. Uh would you like to call blah

695
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:56,319
blah blah work? Would you like to call blah blah blah mobile? Call this one.

696
00:49:54,720 --> 00:50:00,160
Like it didn't just let you do it in one go. And then it say and then then I

697
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:05,280
think it would ask you to confirm or something like that. I'm like

698
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:06,960
no just when I say it just do it. And I

699
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:12,800
think I think part of and they fix that now. Right. Oh, and I think with uh like

700
00:50:10,319 --> 00:50:16,960
Moto X, I think you can have it detect if you're driving. And if you're

701
00:50:14,240 --> 00:50:21,680
driving, I think it will do a little bit better than Okay, Google Now does,

702
00:50:19,119 --> 00:50:25,079
right? But then and then like Okay, Google Now isn't even on a massive

703
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:29,520
amount of devices. So what? Yeah, it's just on

704
00:50:27,839 --> 00:50:33,440
Moto X right now. Yeah, to my knowledge. So like what? And it's just Okay,

705
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:36,960
Google. You don't have to say Google now anymore. I don't think I've tried that.

706
00:50:35,599 --> 00:50:41,520
Oh, it's not working for you. Maybe it just doesn't like my voice for when I say that. Could be because you and I

707
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:46,000
have had apparently lots of problems with Google Now that no one else in the

708
00:50:43,359 --> 00:50:49,839
entire universe has had. So anyway, I'm gonna give I'll give Windows Phone 8

709
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:53,440
another crack uh once Cortana rolls out. It's been over a year since I've tried

710
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:57,520
it. Um that was back when Windows Phone 8 was first kind of rolling out. And uh

711
00:50:55,920 --> 00:51:01,040
I'm I'm pretty excited about it. I I'd like to see what what it's like and I

712
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:05,200
don't know that it's going to convince me to switch back to Windows Phone. In

713
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:08,559
fact, I sincerely doubt it. But with some of the great devices available on

714
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:11,680
Windows Phone, like Nokia's latest flagship, which I can't remember what

715
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:17,359
it's called, but it's really good. It's got a great camera. Um,

716
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:21,400
and Nokia's latest. Okay, so there's only one, but that's okay. I'm I'm still

717
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:26,240
I still really want to try it out. Uh, what else we got here? All

718
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:29,359
right. Should we get into Microsoft is going to do more for PC gaming? Really,

719
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:33,000
this time it's different. They're like an abusive spouse at this point. All

720
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:41,040
right. So, this was originally posted on the

721
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:44,160
forum by some sort of action here. I I

722
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:47,119
whatever you go be a Microsoft fanboy

723
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:50,800
until I see some kind of action. I'm on your side. Are you on my side? Because

724
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:56,119
it didn't seem like it before when you were suggesting that we all start carrying PDAs around again.

725
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:03,200
And that was why I had to abuse you.

726
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:10,559
I hope you realize this is your fault. This is not a good way to go. Oh my god.

727
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:17,359
This is why I have to hit you. This hurts me more than you.

728
00:52:14,559 --> 00:52:22,559
Horrible. Okay, that was awful. Not all right. Okay, so Microsoft's recent

729
00:52:20,319 --> 00:52:26,640
acquisition of the PC ccentric Rise of Nations franchise is just the first step

730
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:32,160
in Microsoft's efforts to do more in the PC game, also known as only. According

731
00:52:29,359 --> 00:52:35,359
to Xbox boss Phil Spencer, a fan asked Spencer on Twitter why Microsoft had

732
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:40,960
acquired Rise of Nations and announced a re-release for Steam to which the veteran Xbox boss said, "Steam is a

733
00:52:38,720 --> 00:52:45,200
great place to sell Win32 games. We acquired the IP for future work. I'm a

734
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:49,200
big fan of the franchise." Uh, the fan is apparently a Yahoo

735
00:52:47,359 --> 00:52:52,640
because this fan responded by saying they aren't interested in installing

736
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:58,119
Steam. Praise be to Gaban. Um, but would

737
00:52:56,079 --> 00:53:04,000
rather enjoy a games for Windows Live replacement. Praise be to Gab. Um,

738
00:53:02,079 --> 00:53:08,079
wait, wait, what? What? Did you read that part of this? Yeah. The fan is

739
00:53:06,319 --> 00:53:12,800
basically off his rocker. So, it's not a fan. This is a planted person. No, I

740
00:53:10,319 --> 00:53:16,319
have no idea. I have never met or talked to a single person ever that has thought

741
00:53:15,119 --> 00:53:22,000
Games for Windows Live was anything other than No, Microsoft has already said they're they're not expecting to

742
00:53:19,839 --> 00:53:26,000
create a direct competitor for Steam and they shouldn't. I'd like to see more

743
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:31,839
collaboration between Yeah, we've brought up about how Ubisoft needs to

744
00:53:28,559 --> 00:53:34,400
give up and reskin Steam. Okay, so at

745
00:53:31,839 --> 00:53:38,800
any rate, just having you play this article blah blah blah, etc., etc.

746
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:43,440
Microsoft whatever has committed more DirectX12 blah blah blah. So this is

747
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:48,559
great. Um someone point brought this to Joner's attention and it was added to

748
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:53,680
the original post. It's a post from 2013 that chronicles all the times that

749
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:55,760
Microsoft has said this in 2005. We care

750
00:53:53,680 --> 00:54:00,559
about PC gaming. Longhorn that's the code name for Vista. Um blah blah blah

751
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:05,760
to usher in modern PC gaming with Trey and Play. Do you guys remember that

752
00:54:02,240 --> 00:54:07,599
games folder for Vista that is gone now?

753
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:12,640
Okay. Well, Vista launched with none of the stuff they promised. Vista was not

754
00:54:10,079 --> 00:54:16,720
popular. 2006, I think actually the what the article says is Vista itself sucks

755
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:22,079
the ass of a thousand camels. But I decided to make that not point as but

756
00:54:19,839 --> 00:54:26,839
then you just said it. That's true. I did, but I was a it was a direct quote.

757
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:33,760
All right. So saying it in the first place. 2006, Microsoft says, "Don't

758
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:37,599
count PC games out." And they announced games for Windows Live. Talk about how

759
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:41,440
amazing it will be. In 2007, they continue the PC push. They launched

760
00:54:39,119 --> 00:54:47,839
games for Windows Live with a $50 a year fee. Genius. Thanks for saving. They

761
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:52,720
also They also announced a whole slew of games to include uh uh Shadow Run with

762
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:55,839
crossplatform play and Gears of War and blah blah blah. Crossplatform play.

763
00:54:54,240 --> 00:54:58,760
Where? What happened to cross-platform play? They realize that PC gamers were

764
00:54:57,839 --> 00:55:05,240
going to destroy I'm sorry if you're a console gamer in the audience, but I'm so much

765
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:10,960
faster with a keyboard and mouse. like it's it's not gonna happen. 2008. Um,

766
00:55:08,720 --> 00:55:14,800
yay. We got rid of the $50 a year fee. See, we're serious about PC gaming.

767
00:55:12,559 --> 00:55:19,880
2008, PC gaming's not dead. Look at this event we're throwing. 2008, uh, all new

768
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:24,319
games for Windows Live. It's got a new skin. 2009, PC gaming is still a

769
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:29,359
priority for us. It's really vital for us. We're still serious, guys. 2010,

770
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:33,839
we're doubling down, which means Games for Windows Live is still here, and

771
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:38,880
we'll update some stuff. Um, to fix the problem of game saves being deleted. Uh,

772
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:42,800
2010, Games for Windows Live Marketplace.

773
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:48,480
These are all things we 2010, Windows 8 is going to relaunch gaming. Um, just

774
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:52,400
like we promised back in 2006. 2012, we won't ditch games for Windows Live.

775
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:59,359
2013, we're discontinuing Windows Live. Thank you. Um, 2013, Microsoft promises

776
00:55:56,079 --> 00:56:03,839
core firstparty games coming to PC. So,

777
00:55:59,359 --> 00:56:06,559
forgive me if I give exactly zero craps

778
00:56:03,839 --> 00:56:11,920
about Microsoft's recommitment to the PC because it really just I mean, you look

779
00:56:08,720 --> 00:56:14,160
at the rumors circulating about how, you

780
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:18,880
know, there's at least some discussion about canning the Xbox division

781
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:23,280
altogether. Never mind PC gaming, which was the red-headed stepchild eight years

782
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:28,240
ago. I mean, okay, with all of that said,

783
00:56:26,079 --> 00:56:31,440
with all of that said, anyway, blah blah blah. Spencer says, "Part of my Xbox

784
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:37,359
role is to bring back our Windows gaming focus." I mean, there is

785
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:40,000
there the opportunity has been missed

786
00:56:37,359 --> 00:56:45,359
time upon time with the original Xbox. There was an opportunity to get Xboxes

787
00:56:42,559 --> 00:56:50,240
rolled out as media streamers, which actually there are still some deployed

788
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:54,240
today. Yeah. As media streaming boxes to to get rolled out as an inexpensive

789
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:59,280
media streaming box that happens to also be a cheapo gaming console. And then to

790
00:56:56,880 --> 00:57:03,760
bring that library of games to PC gamers and Xbox gamers alike, throw mouse and

791
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:08,559
keyboard compatibility at the Xbox so that there isn't that inherent

792
00:57:05,319 --> 00:57:09,920
disadvantage and and make it all one big

793
00:57:08,559 --> 00:57:13,920
ecosystem, which would have been amazing. Then go and add Windows phone

794
00:57:11,599 --> 00:57:18,480
and tablet and all this stuff to it to keep things segregated the way they do.

795
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:23,359
Never made any sense to me. What could they have possibly been thinking?

796
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:25,760
Developing games for just one platform

797
00:57:23,359 --> 00:57:32,000
instead of all the platforms. I mean you look at what Microsoft has invested in

798
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:36,000
the typical in a typical PC. Okay. So let's say they develop a piece of

799
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:40,960
software. Let's say for example Halo. Okay. Halo 2 or whatever. Doesn't

800
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:47,440
matter. The point is if they could sell that to any PC user or any Xbox

801
00:57:44,599 --> 00:57:50,400
user, why do they care? I even would have even if they had it separate, I

802
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:56,480
even would have bought two copies. So, there's the benefit. There's the benefit of selling someone an Xbox to which I

803
00:57:54,079 --> 00:58:00,799
would kind of go, okay, that's a benefit. But I don't think particularly

804
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:06,880
near the launch, you're making anywhere near $70 or I think it's about 60 $50 to

805
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:10,400
$60 is what they is what a tier one pays for a Windows license. So, I don't think

806
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:15,200
you're really even making that much on the hardware. And then if they if if

807
00:58:13,359 --> 00:58:19,599
it's a PC, well, then you made that much on it. So, what do you what do you care?

808
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:24,559
You should just want a bigger installer base and a bigger community for your

809
00:58:22,079 --> 00:58:29,680
fans and not alienate all of the people that Trump for your platform so hard.

810
00:58:27,599 --> 00:58:32,880
Like there's I know so many families where the mom and dad are just like yeah

811
00:58:31,359 --> 00:58:40,480
we should just get an iMac and the kids like no please no. And then they get a PC and

812
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:44,880
it's like this is why your installer base is really large. Like come on. One

813
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:48,400
of the reasons. One yeah one of the reasons. All right, so more bad

814
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:52,960
Microsoft news before we have good Microsoft stuff. Uh, Microsoft confirms

815
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:58,240
the Xbox One is more powerful without the connect hookup. So, this is posted

816
00:58:55,680 --> 00:59:02,079
on the forum by Miss Thro. This ties into a video that we have

817
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:08,079
coming shortly. Yeah. So, they figure it's about 10%. 10% additional GPU

818
00:59:05,599 --> 00:59:13,920
performance can be can be gained by which is like kind of huge. It's sort of

819
00:59:10,559 --> 00:59:16,720
a big deal. um

820
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:21,520
like wow. I mean, it's not going to be the difference between running at 30 FPS

821
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:25,280
and 60 FPS. And we have a really great video coming probably in a couple weeks

822
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:29,520
that's going to be about that. But it might be the difference between running

823
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:32,599
at like what is it? 882p.

824
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:35,680
Yeah. And a real resolution like

825
00:59:32,599 --> 00:59:37,520
1080p. Um there was a couple Yeah. So

826
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:41,599
this there's a great post from DF on the forum. We can't just turn off the DRM.

827
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:46,400
And I don't believe that was actually Xbox One. I think that was uh that was a

828
00:59:44,319 --> 00:59:50,400
that was Xbox 360 or something. Okay. And then we can't just disable connect.

829
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:56,240
We won't sell Xbox One without connect does all of those things.

830
00:59:53,760 --> 01:00:00,960
But you know what? I I am proud of consumers right now for speaking with

831
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:05,280
their wallets because um what they're not really buying Xboxes. Yeah. Dead

832
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:12,880
Rising 3 is coming to PC now. Is it? Yeah. So, by just refusing to settle for

833
01:00:09,359 --> 01:00:15,359
an inferior experience, we are forcing

834
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:19,280
them to be friendlier to us and to win back our favor. Well, and PC gaming is

835
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:24,200
just like, you guys keep on thinking we're going away, but no, we're just

836
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:29,040
like massive now. So, screw you guys, which is awesome. They're

837
01:00:27,359 --> 01:00:32,319
ridiculously huge. I was talking to someone who was fairly close to me that

838
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:37,599
didn't know what League of Legends was. And it reminded me of the discussion that we had in the garage way back a

839
01:00:36,319 --> 01:00:42,000
long time ago about whether League of Legends is mainstream. Yeah. Yeah. It's

840
01:00:39,359 --> 01:00:47,599
not. No, it's not. No, it's not. That's so weird. Yeah. Wait, did I get did I

841
01:00:45,359 --> 01:00:51,520
get a straw poll to determine that that you're an idiot? And did I get an

842
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:56,400
admission that I'm right on the same W show? This is fantastic. Can Can I have

843
01:00:54,640 --> 01:01:01,920
a fist bump for it, too? No. You're not going to complete the like the the hat

844
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:05,359
trick. No, I can't give you all three.

845
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:07,040
Make the audience put him down. Have him

846
01:01:05,359 --> 01:01:10,480
put himself down and then have him congratulate me for it. Well, no, it's

847
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:13,200
just it's how amazed that I was because at that point in time, I had proved you

848
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:19,680
wrong because you said the last person that would know about it would be proved. Oh, that's this was your won the

849
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:24,160
battle. This Yeah, this was your decision. Yeah. Okay. And then my wife

850
01:01:22,319 --> 01:01:27,440
knew what it was and then I won. But then this was Yeah. This is the first

851
01:01:26,079 --> 01:01:31,119
person that I've ever met that didn't know what it was. Right. But it's like

852
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:35,680
the first person I've ever met that is like outside of Yeah. And Okay. Ever as

853
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:42,640
in like the last few years. I know. You know, it's funny because I uh we it's

854
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:45,280
you don't think about how isolated or

855
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:50,559
like how how inside of a box how segmented group is people are and the

856
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:54,000
way that social circles work. Like it it's funny because I've had a few

857
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:58,240
experiences like this lately where um Rampage Dev, the guy that helped us with

858
01:01:55,680 --> 01:02:02,160
the Hackintosh was like, "Yeah, to create the bootable USB." Um yeah, just

859
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:07,760
plug it into a Mac and do this. I'm like, "I don't have a Mac." And he's like, "Oh, we'll borrow one." I'm like,

860
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:11,960
"I don't know a single person who owns a Mac." And he's like, "What?

861
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:18,319
I don't I don't either." Or at least not someone who would lend me a Mac. like

862
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:21,839
not someone I could just be like, "Hey, can I borrow your computer?" I do know

863
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:26,319
someone with it, but they're like very far away. I'm like, "Yeah." So, so there

864
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:30,720
was that and then there was going to high school reunion a little while ago

865
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:35,040
where the tweets that I got from people were hilarious because they were like,

866
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:38,559
"Yeah, was everyone like and even my mom was like, "Yeah, is everyone going to be

867
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:42,480
like really impressed that you're like an internet celebrity?" And I'm like,

868
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:48,160
"No, they're really not. No one's going to know what I do. Nobody, even once I

869
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:51,640
explained what I do, nobody had any idea. Even people in my grade. People

870
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:57,520
are like, "You that's a

871
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:59,040
job." I'm just like, "Yes, yes it is.

872
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:03,760
Yes, making YouTube videos is a job." And then when they ask what I make them about, I would say, "It's about

873
01:03:02,079 --> 01:03:07,839
technology, like computers and motherboards and stuff." And I could

874
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:15,200
just I could I could actually hear I could hear the switch in their brains

875
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:16,160
going as they turned off. Whenever I do

876
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:20,400
it, they're like, "Oh, what do you do?" I was like, "Oh, I make videos about like computer components and all this

877
01:03:19,039 --> 01:03:23,839
kind of stuff." And then I'm like, "Oh, right. Uh, consumer electronics."

878
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:30,400
They're always like, "Oh, yeah." I'm like, "Yeah, there we go."

879
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:34,720
Oh, you mean like iPhones? Yeah. Well,

880
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:36,960
sometimes it beats. No. No. No. No, not

881
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:40,240
that second part. Not beats. Unless we're talking about how Apple bought

882
01:03:38,079 --> 01:03:45,039
them. Uh yeah, let's move on to uh let's move on to that epic fail of a topic

883
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:50,480
right after we do our sponsor segments here. So, actually like the most

884
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:53,960
exciting sponsor spots ever on the first time that we've talked about this. This

885
01:03:51,680 --> 01:04:00,079
is the first time we have talked about Highlander, the collaborative project

886
01:03:56,960 --> 01:04:02,480
powered by ROG Notebooks. There's going

887
01:04:00,079 --> 01:04:06,880
to be some exciting stuff. Jay-Z is not coming on the Yeah, Jay-Z will not be

888
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:10,640
there because he can't handle this mountain. Watch Jay-Z show up at the top

889
01:04:09,039 --> 01:04:15,520
of the mountain. I was just gonna say he probably could be like be like, "Yo,

890
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:17,119
I beat you to the top."

891
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:21,839
And I'll be like, "Wow, can I have an autograph, please? Can you sell my

892
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:24,000
laptop? Can you sell my laptop,

893
01:04:21,839 --> 01:04:29,599
please?" So, we are going to be going to the summit of Mount Elbert, a 4,400

894
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:34,640
meter above sea level mountain top, and we are going to be having the world's

895
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:38,880
highest elevation terrestrial land party. It is a collaborative effort with

896
01:04:36,559 --> 01:04:43,200
Tech Syndicate. Austin Evans is confirmed to be attending, something

897
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:46,880
that we had never revealed before. Um, unfortunately, Lou from Unbox Therapy

898
01:04:45,359 --> 01:04:52,079
can't make it. I was super disappointed. I really wanted him to come. Um although

899
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:56,079
but Logan, Luke, I will be there. I believe Kane is coming. Uh it's a

900
01:04:54,319 --> 01:05:00,160
possibility that we'll have some other pretty cool guys there as well, but it

901
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:05,200
should be about 10 of us total making our way to the top of the mountain to

902
01:05:02,559 --> 01:05:11,680
have a high altitude land party because we can. The whole endeavor couldn't

903
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:14,160
happen without ASUS, Corsair, and Intel.

904
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:20,000
So, a huge thanks to ASUS, Corsair, and Intel for making that possible. Speaking

905
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:24,720
of things that are made possible by our generous sponsors, our coverage of E3 is

906
01:05:22,319 --> 01:05:31,039
going to be brought to you by the HyperX Fury SSD lineup. So, these are value

907
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:33,359
SSDs. And as SSDs go up in performance

908
01:05:31,039 --> 01:05:37,039
and down in price, um the high performance ones are making less and

909
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:40,960
less sense every day, and the good bang for the buck ones are making more and

910
01:05:38,559 --> 01:05:45,440
more sense every day. So, huge shout out to Kingston, HyperX, HyperX, HyperX

911
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:49,599
specifically. That's very important. Huge shout out to HyperX for making this

912
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:54,799
possible. Also powering our trip there is going to be Corsair's allnew RGB

913
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:58,799
mechanical keyboard which we are extremely excited about checking out.

914
01:05:56,799 --> 01:06:01,520
You didn't know that? No. That's cool. You're not going to actually have one

915
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:05,680
when you go on the trip unfortunately yet. I would have death just put it on

916
01:06:03,599 --> 01:06:11,200
top and you know that. I know you would. And then finally, our last sponsor is

917
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:15,839
NCIX, your source for great technology selection and service, also known as

918
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:19,920
They're My Bros. You should buy your computer stuff there because they're my

919
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:24,000
bros. I worked there for 5 years. I still work with them very, very closely.

920
01:06:21,839 --> 01:06:28,880
I love those guys. They're great guys. You know, the thing about NCIX is they

921
01:06:26,319 --> 01:06:33,440
don't always do everything perfect, but it's great technology selection and

922
01:06:30,799 --> 01:06:38,160
service. If you reach out to them and if you are are fair, they'll be fair to

923
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:41,760
you. They'll do their best. They always they always do their best to fix it no

924
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:45,839
matter what it is. And that's something that you can't say about every company.

925
01:06:43,359 --> 01:06:49,760
So, having been on the inside there, I know how things work and I know that

926
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:53,520
they really do care. So, there you go. That's my endorsement of NCIX. Someone

927
01:06:52,079 --> 01:06:57,079
suggested that we get Lauren to go on the climb with us.

928
01:06:57,119 --> 01:07:03,839
She didn't want to come on the WAN Show, did she? No. So, I don't know. I don't

929
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:08,079
know. Tell you what, we'll ask her. Okay, we'll see. We'll see. We'll see. I

930
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:14,480
have a feeling our videos would get many more views. I have a feeling that that

931
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:18,880
is a stereotype. Okay. That gamers think women are

932
01:07:17,039 --> 01:07:23,359
attractive and watch videos with them in. This is This is actually This is

933
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:26,799
unrelated to Tasty PC. This is related to what you just said about watching

934
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:30,880
videos with women in them. Have you not seen the like browser streamers on

935
01:07:28,559 --> 01:07:35,680
Twitch? Like, are you are you kidding me right

936
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:38,880
now? You can't even make that argument.

937
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:43,760
I didn't say that it was invalid. What I

938
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:47,400
said was a stereotype. I didn't say no.

939
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:47,400
You never say no.

940
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:59,240
Oh my god. Speaking of saying no, all the no in the world to this. Apple

941
01:07:55,520 --> 01:08:03,680
defines a spec for lightning connector

942
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:08,160
headphones with 48 kohertz output. Apple

943
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:11,599
piss off. We do not need we do not need

944
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:13,760
headphones with proprietary connectors.

945
01:08:11,599 --> 01:08:19,040
That is not a thing we need. Please don't make it. If you stop making eye

946
01:08:15,839 --> 01:08:21,880
devices with analog outputs, I will

947
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:27,600
well, I don't buy any anyway, but I will definitely continue not buying them

948
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:34,400
because that's absolutely horrible. And to and to get caught up in some kind of

949
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:37,040
a in some kind of a like race to who can

950
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:42,799
have the highest sample rate on their files is a journey to nowhere because it

951
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:48,480
doesn't actually matter past a certain point. Also, there is there is no

952
01:08:45,440 --> 01:08:51,199
there's no reason why you can't have an

953
01:08:48,480 --> 01:08:55,520
excellent DAC and an analog connection to the speakers that sit inside your

954
01:08:53,120 --> 01:09:00,880
ears because effectively that's all that you're doing anyway. A digital headphone

955
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:05,520
is just one that has the DAC on the other side of the cable instead of

956
01:09:02,480 --> 01:09:07,199
having the DAC here and then over there.

957
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:12,239
The amp and DAC actually, both of them, I suppose. It doesn't matter. It's still

958
01:09:09,839 --> 01:09:17,359
a a speaker is an inherently analog thing. There is no benefit to this other

959
01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:22,799
than that we are going to be stuck with headphones that only work with iPhones

960
01:09:20,480 --> 01:09:27,279
and iPhones that I mean if they were to actually take the 3 and 12 in connector

961
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:31,920
off then we'd be stuck with iPhones that only work with stupid lightning

962
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:36,319
headphones most of which will be fashion trash I'm sure. Well Beats there'll be

963
01:09:33,759 --> 01:09:39,759
Beats. Well I'm sure someone else they bought them will participate in the made

964
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:43,839
for iPhone. I think they're making sure that there will be a range of products

965
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:47,679
on launch for this. Picture this future and I'm about to make your brain melt.

966
01:09:45,679 --> 01:09:52,279
Okay. Well, this already did. You look at the kinds of like real companies like

967
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:57,040
serious companies that really care like Sennheiser that participate in the made

968
01:09:54,800 --> 01:10:00,880
for iPhone program like the Momentum headphones for example. Why is

969
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:05,760
Sennheiser targeting iPhone users with these? Because iPhone users will pay

970
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:09,520
more. Yeah. Okay. Sennheiser happened to make legitimately good headphones that

971
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:12,880
are made for iPhone, but it means that the inline controls don't work on

972
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:17,440
Android because they're made for iPhone. Now, imagine this. Imagine Sennheiser is

973
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:21,920
put in a position where they have to decide, are they making their next pair

974
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:25,120
of great sounding but still fashionable headphones with a lightning connector or

975
01:10:23,679 --> 01:10:30,239
a three and a halfm connector? Could this become a breakaway?

976
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:34,320
I don't know. Maybe cuz that would make sense. But that's totally inelegant and

977
01:10:32,239 --> 01:10:37,440
that's not that's not true. the Apple way like that's not going to but it

978
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:41,600
could be breakaway and it doesn't have to be breakaway like okay well Apple's

979
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:45,679
already said there will be adapters so yes you can adapt your lightning to make

980
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:49,760
a three and a half but that's stupid oh it is yeah like adapters are horrible it

981
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:54,960
could be breakaway like it is on that though

982
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:56,640
but again these I mean these are $300 IM

983
01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:59,840
not everything has that feature that's an uncommon feature no I know but I'm

984
01:10:58,239 --> 01:11:06,400
I'm just saying like for the Sennheiser headphones that you're talking about but these are solutions we shouldn't have to

985
01:11:02,719 --> 01:11:08,239
resort to completely agree. Okay. Well,

986
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:12,800
I'm just saying it might it might it might not be as bad. I think instead of

987
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:16,159
us playing devil's advocate, because I'm obviously very upset right now, we

988
01:11:14,719 --> 01:11:20,280
should we should have a moment of silence instead. Okay.

989
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:35,199
Okay. Okay. Because I what I was really hoping for with this Beats acquisition

990
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:37,120
was Beats headphones that looked good

991
01:11:35,199 --> 01:11:41,679
and sounded good and were built better. Yeah, that's what I wanted out of this.

992
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:45,440
This is my worst nightmare. Yeah, this is the worst thing that could have

993
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:49,440
possibly come out of that acquisition. Well,

994
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:54,560
maybe not the worst. Maybe not the worst thing, but it's it's very very very bad.

995
01:11:52,239 --> 01:12:02,280
It's very terrible and stupid. Yeah. And I need that to not happen. Yeah. All

996
01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:04,960
right. The specification could

997
01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:07,840
h anyway, none of that's confirmed like Apple doing away with three and a half

998
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:11,840
millimeter connectors entirely. Like none of those are all conclusions that

999
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:16,560
were made up. I mean, there are ways that the tech could be cool. For

1000
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:20,400
example, if you had headphones, some something that is easier to have a large

1001
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:23,840
battery in and every time you plugged your headphones into your iPhone, it

1002
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:28,000
could charge them or something like that. like there is room for this to be

1003
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:33,520
kind of cool as long as it doesn't get forced on us. Yeah. So, I'll leave that

1004
01:12:31,679 --> 01:12:40,080
positive possibility as the last thing that we say on the

1005
01:12:35,239 --> 01:12:42,560
subject. All right. No Microsoft start

1006
01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:49,280
menu on Windows 8 until 2015. This was posted by NSF NS NFS undergrounded

1007
01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:52,960
underground and the original article is from Bit.

1008
01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:56,640
Maybe he's trying to recreate the sound of when your your engine is kind of

1009
01:12:54,960 --> 01:13:03,080
tripping out when you're just revving when you're at the start of the

1010
01:12:58,199 --> 01:13:03,080
line. So it's Ne for Speed Underground.

1011
01:13:04,719 --> 01:13:12,640
Okay. So it's not coming in update 2 to Windows 8 point to to Windows 8. It will

1012
01:13:10,159 --> 01:13:17,440
be coming instead possibly with a next update to Windows 8 or Windows 9

1013
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:23,920
depending on how Microsoft decides to roll things out. So, this is their new

1014
01:13:19,679 --> 01:13:25,920
mini modern UI start menu. Personally, I

1015
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:30,560
don't really care because it'll likely be 2015 by the time I roll a new

1016
01:13:28,239 --> 01:13:37,600
operating system onto my system anyway. Yeah. Um, but great. So, I guess there's

1017
01:13:34,480 --> 01:13:40,480
that. Our next topic is the ASUS

1018
01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:47,480
Sabbranco. Sabbranco. Anyway, whatever. It's a it's a top series motherboard

1019
01:13:42,719 --> 01:13:50,640
with a white PCB. Now, this is an

1020
01:13:47,480 --> 01:13:52,719
opportunity for me. Oh, they already got

1021
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:58,440
it. Oh, that's a shame cuz I was looking forward to just going on an ego trip

1022
01:13:54,880 --> 01:14:01,600
here. This was originally posted by uh

1023
01:13:58,440 --> 01:14:03,280
Tit. So, I wanted to uh cuz ASUS

1024
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:08,480
basically said, "Look, if you want to see more white PCB motherboards to match

1025
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:12,719
your sexy white PCB hardware, we need 500 retweets of this tweet." And they

1026
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:16,800
were stuck at like 250. And I was like, "Oh, on the W show, we should just like

1027
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:20,320
we should just double it. We should just like crush it so that uh they'll be

1028
01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:24,159
like, "Whoa, where did that come from?" And we'll be like flexing our internet

1029
01:14:22,480 --> 01:14:29,679
muscles. Stop making golden motherboards. It's cuz they're

1030
01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:31,360
dumb. Like, yeah, we don't even care

1031
01:14:29,679 --> 01:14:35,360
about white motherboards. No, not at all. We just don't want gold

1032
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:40,800
motherboards. Yeah. So, screw you in your stupid retweets. So, guys, there

1033
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:45,760
are 4300 of you watching the show right now. I am counting on you. I want to

1034
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:48,320
double the number of retweets they have on there right now. Do that retweet

1035
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:52,960
thing where you retweet and say something at the same time and just say

1036
01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:57,280
any color other than gold. Yeah, if you if you can. So guys, you go find that

1037
01:14:55,199 --> 01:15:01,840
post. Come on. Come on. Come on, brothers. You got to help me out

1038
01:14:59,480 --> 01:15:05,600
here. I'm posting this. I'm posting this. Guys, you gota you got to get on

1039
01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:09,679
this. Help me out. We got to make this thing

1040
01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:14,640
happen. All right. Someone says it's already at 609. I know, but I still I

1041
01:15:12,239 --> 01:15:18,880
still want to I still want to utilize our internet mightiness to And we're

1042
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:26,640
trying to Yeah, we're trying to move a We're trying to prove a point. Yeah, we're trying to prove a point. The point

1043
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:29,159
is white is not necessarily Supreme, but

1044
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:34,719
it's a damn sight better than gold. Yeah. I'd just like not gold. Yeah. I

1045
01:15:32,719 --> 01:15:40,000
can I can I can do something with it if it's not gold. Yes. Yeah. See, see, I

1046
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:44,960
got people saying silver is okay. Yes. Silver's totally cool. Silver's totally

1047
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:49,199
cool. You know, black's cool. Blue's cool. Red's

1048
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:53,199
cool. Yellow I'm okay with as long as it's like UV. The Empire did it pretty

1049
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:57,760
well. Yes. And the Empire did it really well. Yellow. Yellow's cool. You just

1050
01:15:55,280 --> 01:16:01,199
got to do it right. Yep. So, we need you guys to to just help us crush it.

1051
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:05,280
Apparently, it's over a hundred. It's over a thousand already. I love you

1052
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:09,360
guys. You guys are awesome. Yes, it totally is. You guys are awesome. and

1053
01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:15,440
you made my eene grow at least 3 in today. So, I appreciate that. We have

1054
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:18,080
some good Microsoft news. Actually, I have a prop for this one. Do you want to

1055
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:22,880
do you want to cover this in the meantime? Sure. There's not much to say.

1056
01:16:20,239 --> 01:16:27,320
Um, Microsoft announced that they were going to be Whoa, some cables got

1057
01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:31,600
unplugged. Uh, Microsoft announced we're failing.

1058
01:16:30,159 --> 01:16:37,280
Fail so hard. Fail so hard. They announced that you should be able to use the Xbox One controller on your PC back

1059
01:16:34,480 --> 01:16:41,040
in November and it's finally coming or is here already. They're now available

1060
01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:44,400
for download. So yeah, and you can connect it to your computer simply with

1061
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:49,760
a micro USB cable. So this was posted on the forum by Demakiller 37, although I

1062
01:16:48,159 --> 01:16:53,600
do have to beat them up a little bit. Anyway, the links are in the are in the

1063
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:59,440
thread there to where you can get the drivers for both x86 and x64 versions of

1064
01:16:56,400 --> 01:17:00,960
Windows. But get this, Microsoft is

1065
01:16:59,440 --> 01:17:04,239
releasing the drivers today at its download site, but the company is also

1066
01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:08,280
planning to distribute them through Windows Update in the near

1067
01:17:06,440 --> 01:17:13,120
future. Microsoft, what are you doing? What do

1068
01:17:11,679 --> 01:17:16,719
you mean? Why aren't they in Windows Update already? Oh, yeah. Okay. I

1069
01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:25,120
thought you were against it being in Windows Update. I was like, why not? Why is any piece of Microsoft hardware not

1070
01:17:23,440 --> 01:17:28,400
in Windows update? Yeah. No, I completely agree. I thought I thought I

1071
01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:35,280
I thought you were against it and that's why I was like, why is anything not in

1072
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:37,840
Windows update? Yeah, if it's Wickle

1073
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:44,320
certified, why is it not in Windows update? Why isn't that part of the

1074
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:46,159
procedure? Why do I have to dank around

1075
01:17:44,320 --> 01:17:50,480
drivers still? I totally thought you were on the other side of this and

1076
01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:55,520
you're not at all. And that's fantastic. Like Timmy, if you're watching, maybe

1077
01:17:53,360 --> 01:18:02,159
you can give me an explanation that makes sense, but I doubt it. Why are

1078
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:05,520
drivers not in Windows update? Why do I have to think about this? Why is it

1079
01:18:03,679 --> 01:18:08,480
easier to plug and play a Linux installation and have it automatically

1080
01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:13,440
work with network drivers than it is a Windows one? That should never be a

1081
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:17,600
thing. Ever. Never be a thing. Fail. Every laptop that I've ever tried to

1082
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:20,159
install Linux on, perfect. and network drive. That's all I need is network

1083
01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:23,360
drivers because then I can move from there. That's fine. And then every

1084
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:27,760
single time that I've tried to install, not every single time, but a lot of times I try to install Windows on a

1085
01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:32,000
laptop, especially if it's not the Windows that it came with. Horrible.

1086
01:18:30,480 --> 01:18:35,520
Almost never get network drivers, have to go hunt them down. It's annoying. And

1087
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:39,520
a lot of the time it's not even a matter of like, oh derp, it's not on Windows

1088
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:44,239
update. A lot of the time it's like, "Oh, okay. I better go into device

1089
01:18:41,679 --> 01:18:49,440
manager and like find the vendor ID and like PCI ID string and go Google that

1090
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:54,480
and find some post on like driverh helper full of viruses.com."

1091
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:58,400
Yeah. Why do I have to resort to that? You know what? While I'm bitching about

1092
01:18:55,920 --> 01:19:02,800
this, if anyone from Adapt is watching, you guys turn your download servers on

1093
01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:06,640
after business hours from now on. That's super stupid. That's like the stupidest

1094
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:11,880
thing I've ever seen. They turn their download servers for their drivers off

1095
01:19:09,280 --> 01:19:17,360
outside of like business hours. Leg legit. Legitimately, guys, go

1096
01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:20,880
check. Like I've been diagnosing like a RAID card in the middle of the night

1097
01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:25,840
because that's the only time when you diagnose RA, you can take down your

1098
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:28,719
server. Yeah. Yeah. And like their download server is just off. Honestly

1099
01:19:27,520 --> 01:19:34,800
though, a lot of server maintenance happens overnight. So like it should they should be they should Oh, I'm so

1100
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:38,000
mad. Like so mad. Ridiculous. People are like, "Why is he mad today?" Because

1101
01:19:36,719 --> 01:19:44,880
things make me mad. A lot of things to be mad about today. Speaking of things to be mad about, this is actually both

1102
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:47,520
cool and terrifying. Yeah. Um, so gun company figures out how to shoot around

1103
01:19:46,159 --> 01:19:54,320
corners using Google Glass. So, basically, they've got a super advanced scope on this gun that allows you to use

1104
01:19:52,159 --> 01:19:59,360
Google Glass as a site. It also compensates for human error, compensates

1105
01:19:57,040 --> 01:20:03,920
for conditions. It does all kinds of neat neo keen stuff. There's a short

1106
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:08,679
video. It's about a minute long. uh tracking point Labs. You know, part of

1107
01:20:06,080 --> 01:20:15,280
me is kind of like, do we really really need more

1108
01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:18,560
efficient ways to like put bullets in each other? One thing that scares me is

1109
01:20:17,440 --> 01:20:25,280
like all the stuff that's going on with NSA and stuff right now. This is going to very possibly create a big divide in

1110
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:27,440
between um civilian uprising potential

1111
01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:31,040
and government. Oh, absolutely. I mean, it's already there. You can already

1112
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:35,040
night vision goggles are already the end of gorilla. You know, that's actually

1113
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:41,280
something that I can't quite figure out why they weren't using thermal imaging to find that Monton

1114
01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:46,159
uh police killer. Yeah. Were they not? It took them took them

1115
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:50,000
over a full day to find him and he was just kind of hiding in the woods. Like I

1116
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:52,960
don't know. May maybe it's possible that they're just not that sensitive yet, but

1117
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:56,640
I just wouldn't Did they have military deployed on that? They did have military

1118
01:20:54,719 --> 01:20:59,600
deployed. Uh I mean they eventually did find him in the woods unarmed. They've

1119
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:02,960
apprehended him now. Okay. Uh do you know much about what happened? I have not been following. I know I know he

1120
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:07,040
killed like I know that kind of stuff, but I don't He killed three officers and

1121
01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:11,199
uh and wounded two others. One of them very seriously wounded. Yeah. Um I just

1122
01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:15,679
didn't know about them capturing this. I'm not going to link to any news stories. I'm not going to name him

1123
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:20,239
because these people don't deserve any attention. So, we're going to Yes. Uh

1124
01:21:18,239 --> 01:21:24,640
Dragon V2. Speaking of people who do deserve attention. Super cool. And

1125
01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:29,280
freaking Elon Musk is just the coolest person on the planet. So guys, oh my

1126
01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:33,679
god, you should check this out. There's not there's not really too much for for

1127
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:38,080
us to say about it. I'm supposed to I put the main points of the video in here

1128
01:21:35,679 --> 01:21:42,320
is the the new capsule can hold seven astronauts. Uh it has propulsion based

1129
01:21:40,159 --> 01:21:45,040
landing, so it can land on a landing pad. It can land pretty much anywhere,

1130
01:21:43,679 --> 01:21:50,080
but someone says you can't thermal through trees. So there you go. That's

1131
01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:51,360
interesting. Um you can land pretty much

1132
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:56,960
anywhere, but more specifically on a landing pad. You don't have to land in the ocean anymore. And the heat

1133
01:21:54,880 --> 01:22:01,760
shielding and stuff on the bottom is much more resistant and can be easily

1134
01:21:59,280 --> 01:22:06,639
reused. So if it can land on a landing pad and just have all the propellant

1135
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:12,719
refilled be used very quickly. Ice Fox says Elon greater than Gabe N.

1136
01:22:10,480 --> 01:22:16,719
Uh let's just let's just calm down. Okay. Everyone just needs to relax. Go

1137
01:22:15,199 --> 01:22:21,600
ahead about Elon being greater than Gabe.

1138
01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:23,280
Everyone just needs to relax.

1139
01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:29,760
They're in They're in completely It's like Can you all Can we all just relax

1140
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:30,880
and stop being tense? Thank you.

1141
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:35,280
We're Look, we're looking at different castles here. Different castles. I like

1142
01:22:33,199 --> 01:22:38,080
that. They're not They're both the king of their own castles. All right. Sorry.

1143
01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:44,719
Go ahead. Go ahead. The rest of the points about um that was actually pretty much it is it can carry seven

1144
01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:49,040
astronauts. Um it's very reusable. Definitely reusable and it can land

1145
01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:51,920
pretty much anywhere very easily. It it uses propulsion based landing like I

1146
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:57,520
said. So instead of having this crazy parachute like they did before where they just parachute out and then drift

1147
01:22:54,800 --> 01:23:02,400
down into the water, it it slows itself down as it's falling through I think

1148
01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:05,840
it's I think it's four jets and then evens itself out and then lands with

1149
01:23:04,239 --> 01:23:10,639
like these kind of spring-loaded not really spring-loaded but these feet that

1150
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:12,760
can compress. Not spring-loaded at all um but feet that can compress. So it

1151
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:17,840
just kind very very cool. All right, we got a

1152
01:23:15,199 --> 01:23:25,520
straw pole. And the inside of this space shuttle is amazing. Have you seen it?

1153
01:23:21,719 --> 01:23:27,280
Uh, no. Okay, you can talk about it

1154
01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:30,639
though. It's It's kind of hard to describe. Once you're done spamming

1155
01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:34,960
there, I can try to jump you forward in the video, but essentially you you walk

1156
01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:38,159
in, it looks like super super clean and super futuristic, unlike a lot of space

1157
01:23:36,719 --> 01:23:42,800
shuttles that you see that look like mega ghetto and kind of disgusting. And

1158
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:48,880
then he sits down in this baller looking chair and swings down this super badass

1159
01:23:45,440 --> 01:23:50,320
monitor setup. It's so cool. Um yeah,

1160
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:57,280
he's walking in. So he's gonna get in. He's gonna get in very soon. Here you go, guys.

1161
01:23:53,679 --> 01:23:59,120
So once he gets in there, sweet. So very

1162
01:23:57,280 --> 01:24:01,920
nice seats. I can't like he doesn't talk about them at all, but like they

1163
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:05,360
actually look comfortable instead of the terrible things I before. And then Yeah.

1164
01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:08,960
Okay. Go a little bit back because you got to see him swing down the monitor

1165
01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:12,760
setup. You can see it's up right now. He'll pull it down.

1166
01:24:11,679 --> 01:24:20,159
So badass. Swoop. And then if you can actually see

1167
01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:22,080
the control panels, like it actually

1168
01:24:20,159 --> 01:24:27,440
looks like futuristic and badass. I know that doesn't really matter, but like it

1169
01:24:24,080 --> 01:24:29,679
looks really cool. There you can see all

1170
01:24:27,440 --> 01:24:33,120
their monitoring panels and like all the stuff in the middle. He's got uh

1171
01:24:31,199 --> 01:24:36,239
spaceship control is that like joysticky thing kind of in the middle. And then

1172
01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:39,760
most of those manual buttons are all emergency things, so you don't have to

1173
01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:43,520
use the other displays and stuff. They're all emergency stuff. And yeah, I

1174
01:24:42,239 --> 01:24:46,520
don't know. I thought this was super cool.

1175
01:24:48,159 --> 01:24:53,920
Yeah, I was watching it and then I ran out of time. I actually didn't make it to the end. I didn't know he went

1176
01:24:51,679 --> 01:24:57,280
inside. Yeah, that is awesome. That's pretty freaking cool. How's that straw

1177
01:24:55,600 --> 01:25:02,040
pole doing? All right, let's check out that straw pole. Castles.

1178
01:25:00,880 --> 01:25:05,040
Okay, castles.

1179
01:25:06,280 --> 01:25:12,239
castles. So, we've got 42% of the votes

1180
01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:17,199
going to Gabe N, 41% of the votes going to castles, and 17% going to Elon Musk.

1181
01:25:15,760 --> 01:25:22,880
Although, I don't think there's really any denying that Elon's or Mr. Musk's

1182
01:25:20,639 --> 01:25:28,080
contributions to humanity as a whole are probably more more impactful than Gabe

1183
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:33,199
Ben's. But then how is that that's very difficult to quantify because if but g

1184
01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:38,239
because gayen could inspire more people if it's not in the same way it's it's

1185
01:25:36,159 --> 01:25:43,120
not necessarily lower and gayen did more than just gaming digital digital content

1186
01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:47,920
distribution he was a pioneer yeah and he's pushed forward for those like

1187
01:25:44,480 --> 01:25:51,360
racing that racing thing I don't know

1188
01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:53,440
anyway it's not really uh I I I vote for

1189
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:58,560
castles you vote for castles you go vote for castles then one vote doesn't matter

1190
01:25:56,320 --> 01:26:03,280
loser. It does. Actually, every vote counts. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to go find

1191
01:26:01,199 --> 01:26:10,000
it and vote just cuz you said that. So, that's fine. Took me a sec to find it. I

1192
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:11,920
don't know where it is. I give up. You

1193
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:17,280
can find things to vote for on your own time. Yeah, pretty much. More

1194
01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:22,880
thingyamajiggers. Um, yeah. I fired up the Star Citizen. Uh, what's up? Oh,

1195
01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:28,679
yeah. Right. We actually have something really cool for you guys. So, I need you

1196
01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:35,199
to use # Linusmassdrop, all one word, #

1197
01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:36,719
Linusmastdrop, and send in your requests

1198
01:26:35,199 --> 01:26:42,080
for what you would like to see a Massdrop deal on. We are working with

1199
01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:48,239
Massdrop to basically find one thing that our community really wants to see

1200
01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:50,719
and bring it to you guys. That's it.

1201
01:26:48,239 --> 01:26:53,440
It's simple. So, everyone, take just a minute of your time, think of something

1202
01:26:52,239 --> 01:26:57,679
that you think is really cool. hopefully, you know, electronics or

1203
01:26:55,760 --> 01:27:03,440
computer stuff or something. Um, and then just use #

1204
01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:05,920
Linusmassdrop and uh tweet that out and

1205
01:27:03,440 --> 01:27:10,080
we will have someone, preferably a lackey and not me, go through them all

1206
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:13,199
and compile a list of the most popular ones and then we're going to pick one

1207
01:27:11,679 --> 01:27:16,719
from there that we think is really cool and we think would be a great Massdrop

1208
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:20,719
item and we are going to be bringing that to you guys through the Massdrop

1209
01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:23,600
team. So, be excited about that because it's going to be really, really sweet.

1210
01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:28,960
Awesome. Now, what were you saying about Star Citizen? Oh, I was saying I tried it and the mouse controls are balls, so

1211
01:27:27,120 --> 01:27:33,679
I need to get a joystick. I'm actually going to order a USB to game controller

1212
01:27:31,520 --> 01:27:37,600
adapter so I can use my old Top Gun joystick, but I also have a Scitec

1213
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:41,600
Aviator that I can use in the meantime. It just doesn't have that same No, it

1214
01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:46,960
doesn't quality feel to it, though. I don't really like it. So, there you go.

1215
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:50,960
Oh, well. Solar freaking roadways. We're not doing a mass drop for solar

1216
01:27:48,480 --> 01:27:53,679
roadways, especially because they don't work.

1217
01:27:55,040 --> 01:28:02,480
Sorry to spoil that one. Very cool concept though. Yeah,

1218
01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:06,239
give it give it a little while longer. A lot of while longer and we'll find a way

1219
01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:12,880
to leverage Mike the sun a little better. Someone says butt plugs. I don't

1220
01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:18,360
think we should ask for butt plugs. You can get Windows for 50 cents on Oh, PC.

1221
01:28:16,480 --> 01:28:22,639
It's ludicrous. Rog Jay-Z. We're never going to be free of

1222
01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:26,400
that, are we? No, no, we're just stuck with it forever. Okay, speaking of

1223
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:30,239
things we're stuck with forever, we'll be back next week. Thank you guys very

1224
01:28:28,239 --> 01:28:34,000
much for tuning in to the WAN Show. We will see you next week. I guess normally

1225
01:28:32,480 --> 01:28:39,199
I say thank you and then I say we'll see you next week, but without this getting

1226
01:28:35,520 --> 01:28:39,199
any more awkward than it already is.

1227
01:28:40,120 --> 01:28:49,840
Boom. Oh, that's awkward. I didn't leave this in all the right spots. So, I need

1228
01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:51,199
to something to do with this here. Yeah,

1229
01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:56,340
that thing. Good work, Luke. Wait, that wasn't my

1230
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:59,439
fault at all. Yeah, whatever.

1231
01:29:00,560 --> 01:29:03,679
Highlander, it's going to be

1232
01:29:03,960 --> 01:29:09,760
awesome. E3 also going to be awesome.

1233
01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:14,040
Yeah. Or terrible. We're not sure. Yeah. We've never done it before. Nope.
