00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:07.040
Okay guys, welcome to the WAN Show. That

00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:10.320
show every week where me and this guy are all like, "Hey, let's like make

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:15.160
videos and put them on the internet and then maybe people will watch them. Let's

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:22.240
be on time." Nope. And then people watch them and Okay, we're only four minutes

00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:23.920
late today. What is this?

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

00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:32.480
Canada. Poor parties pay.

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

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:42.160
pausing it. All right, so guys, we've got a great show for you today.

00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:45.440
First of all, we have a topic that we covered last week sitting in the call

00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:49.680
outs here. I'm going to go ahead and move that one. Mr. Lefren, I believe,

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

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.

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.

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

00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:12.080
everything, so whatever. Lionus Media Group. Lionus Tech Tips. What did you

00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:15.600
want the shirt thing to be called? I don't remember, but I think that this

00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:19.040
conversation is uh heading down a path. It had your name in it. Really not

00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:23.280
actually that comfortable with He just really likes hearing his name. Everyone

00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:27.840
should just tweet him his name. Thank you for that. Please just tweet him his

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

00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:38.400
on to our topics for the day? Microsoft has committed once again to do more for

00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:40.079
PC gaming. But they actually have You're

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

00:01:41.759 --> 00:01:49.759
awesome. Okay, iOS 8 is on the way. So,

00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:53.600
um, actually, a lot of the features that they're showing off look pretty darn

00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:57.920
cool. Some of them are innovative, some of them are not, but but still good.

00:01:56.240 --> 00:02:02.240
It's about par for the course for any mobile operating system update. I mean,

00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:07.040
take everything that you can and add a few things. Exactly.

00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:09.759
Uh we also have Microsoft Cortana voice control coming along the way, which

00:02:08.239 --> 00:02:16.879
should be really interesting. And the ASUS uh phone desktop table laptop fin.

00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:22.879
It's not a desktop. It's the one thing it's not laptop. ASUS's

00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:26.560
5in1 PC. How do you make a 5in-1 PC?

00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:31.200
Well, ASUS will show us. But in the

00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:31.200
meantime, guys, we'll do the intro.

00:02:31.959 --> 00:02:37.990
Yes. Broken intro.

00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:01.760
All right. So, this is interesting. Our

00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:08.400
first sponsor this week is actually a group of sponsors. We along with Tech

00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:10.040
Syndicate will be participating in the

00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:16.480
world's highest elevation terrestrial land party. So, we

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

00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:25.840
taking some some ASUS gaming notebooks up

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

00:03:28.640 --> 00:03:36.400
have some sweet Corair gaming peripherals, of course, featuring their

00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:40.640
RGB keyboards in order to get a land

00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:42.080
going at 4400 m above sea level. So,

00:03:40.640 --> 00:03:47.760
there will definitely be videos about this whole thing, guys. Be very, very

00:03:45.440 --> 00:03:53.280
excited. It'll be coming sometime in about a month. And a huge shout out to

00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:56.159
ASUS, Corsair, and Intel for making this

00:03:53.280 --> 00:04:01.760
whole thing possible. Also, something that's coming a little bit more

00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:04.159
immediately is E3 coverage here on Linus

00:04:01.760 --> 00:04:08.560
Tech Tips. We bailed on Computex this year, as you probably noticed, but we'll

00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:12.239
be doing E3. Basically, we did Comp Computex last year. It was extremely

00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:15.200
expensive and not a whole lot of people watched the content. So, we're going to

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

00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:26.639
HyperX featuring the Fury line of

00:04:23.440 --> 00:04:29.120
performance to price ratio. I think the

00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:37.880
word is value price toerformance ratio optimized SSDs as well as the Corsair

00:04:32.479 --> 00:04:40.479
RGB keyboard and NCIX. My bros, my my

00:04:37.880 --> 00:04:44.479
homeboys, my dogs. Did you see that? We were being featured on Newegg's product

00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:49.360
site. I have seen that. Do you saw that? Speaking of Speaking of my bros, NCIX,

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

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

00:04:56.320 --> 00:05:03.199
are watching. They were tagged in that Twitter feed, so I know they saw it.

00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:06.880
It's absolutely fant I'm sure NCX thinks it's hilarious, too.

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,

00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:17.630
"So, by we're doing E3, does he mean I'm sending Slick to E3?"

00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:21.080
Yes.

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,

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.

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

00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:41.840
capacity before. So, this is more like a scouting mission. So, if it turns out E3

00:05:39.440 --> 00:05:46.479
is a total disaster and there's no benefit to us being there, then next

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

00:05:48.400 --> 00:05:55.440
where I would have to actually tie him down like harder than usual in order to

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

00:05:58.400 --> 00:06:04.800
when we started Lionus Media Group. So before we actually founded the company,

00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:10.560
so it would have been in December of 2012, you asked for the time off in

00:06:07.280 --> 00:06:12.319
September of 2013.

00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:15.919
No, I think it was like the second day I started working with you before we

00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:20.800
founded the company. People are saying audio is actually normal for once, which

00:06:18.080 --> 00:06:24.880
is hilarious because I actually took out the compressor. We're not using a

00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:29.919
balanced output off the mixer. I'm going into like a crappy RCA input on

00:06:27.280 --> 00:06:34.479
something. I we actually we know what the problem is now. I know what the

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

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

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

00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:53.360
film things on the Blackmagic camera and everyone complains. So I got the levels

00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:56.639
sounding really good on this one. Um and so that that didn't quite work though

00:06:55.120 --> 00:07:00.240
because it just sounds kind of poopy. And then I tried an objective two, but

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

00:07:02.960 --> 00:07:08.319
need balanced inputs and outputs in order for it to to work properly. The

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

00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:19.440
that. So, it just didn't quite work. But guys, it is definitely going to happen.

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

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

00:07:26.520 --> 00:07:33.520
to go with it because welcome to the W

00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:37.199
show where we go live at some time. That's

00:07:35.440 --> 00:07:43.680
somewhere around 4:30 and hopefully things are okay and the color's wrong

00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:45.840
and the audio sucks. Yeah,

00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:49.120
whatever. Screw you guys. No, we love you guys. Please keep watching. Please

00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:52.960
don't leave. Please don't leave. I need you.

00:07:50.400 --> 00:07:56.160
Oh, speaking of the W show, uh, and technical difficulties. All right. How

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.

00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:06.280
Okay. And hit it.

00:08:02.479 --> 00:08:06.280
Oh, that's interesting.

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.

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

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.

00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:28.639
We're all good. We're all good. You're good. All right. Hit it.

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

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

00:08:35.760 --> 00:08:41.440
were they called? Were they ogres? Uh oh, no. Trolls. Trolls. Okay. Okay. No.

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

00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:54.640
wireless standard coming. Oh my gosh. That is theoretically faster than any

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

00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:02.800
here and wonder what is the point of

00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:06.720
these faster and faster wireless standards when they never work right

00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:11.760
anyway. Can you please all focus your I know

00:09:09.760 --> 00:09:17.440
that wireless is exciting and Intel had that whole thing where they're like

00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:18.880
wireless by 20 what was it 2016 or 2018

00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:23.440
would like replace everything or whatever I was 7 Gbit per second thing.

00:09:21.839 --> 00:09:26.560
They want your display and your peripherals to all be wireless. And I'm

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

00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:36.320
wireless everything and out of the other side of your mouth, you're working with

00:09:32.880 --> 00:09:39.920
with Apple on the Mac Pro, which is like

00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:41.680
the octopus of wires." Well, maybe the

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

00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:51.360
octopus of wires. Hold on. Hold that

00:09:46.920 --> 00:09:55.440
thought. Wireless octopus.

00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:56.800
New Think Geek item. me like just like

00:09:55.440 --> 00:10:00.560
randomly crawls around your desk and annoys your cat. You know, I was looking

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

00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:10.240
controls gear. And as much as I am a

00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:12.240
crappy heli pilot, I'm actually I'm no

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

00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:22.079
basically have never really used a decent one. So, I'm I'm definitely not

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,

00:10:23.680 --> 00:10:33.040
I was looking to see if you can get a really sweet RC submarine

00:10:29.839 --> 00:10:35.680
because I actually built one in my grade

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

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

00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:47.839
neutally buoyant once you have your motors and your uh and your wires and

00:10:45.680 --> 00:10:52.160
everything on it. And we actually made fully functional submarines. Like,

00:10:49.920 --> 00:10:57.120
everyone in the class made one. Uh we we made our own watertight motors out of

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.

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

00:11:04.160 --> 00:11:12.959
inside them so they stay dry and they could actually move in every direction.

00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:14.720
So we had XYZ axis movement. And um the

00:11:12.959 --> 00:11:18.480
thing I didn't like about them though was that obviously some kind of a

00:11:16.959 --> 00:11:21.880
wireless transmitter that's going to be able to punch through water is going to

00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:26.880
be either non-existent or very expensive. So we were stuck with a wired

00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:31.200
control. So no matter how perfectly neutally buoyant you made the thing, as

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

00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:38.720
there would be less. So you would never have that that perfect control of it.

00:11:36.959 --> 00:11:42.160
So, I was looking I was I was just like, "Is there a hobbyist grade remote

00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:46.000
control submarine that you could put like a GoPro on?" Because it's the kind

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,

00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:53.680
"Yeah, this is cool. Now, I'll never do it again." But like whatever it would

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

00:11:55.360 --> 00:12:00.320
go see like fish or stuff. You take it with you on vacation or whatever. Maybe

00:11:58.560 --> 00:12:03.839
not once, but not that often. But they don't really have anything. So, speaking

00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:09.000
of Yeah, just wireless basically not working. So anyway, Huawei has tested

00:12:06.160 --> 00:12:15.519
Wi-Fi based on future standard 802.118X that can hit 10.5 gigabit per

00:12:12.800 --> 00:12:19.200
second. So that's about 10 times faster than what you typically get out of 80

00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:24.959
2.11 AC connection today. This was posted by Querty Warrior on the forum.

00:12:22.079 --> 00:12:29.120
The trick, the company says, is making more efficient use of the airwaves.

00:12:27.040 --> 00:12:33.120
Thank you for that highly technical elaborate explanation of the trick,

00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:36.160
Huawei. The new technology is smarter at allocating wireless spectrum, juggling

00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:40.320
data between multiple antennas, and cutting back on interference. They don't

00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:45.279
even have to switch to ultra high frequencies to make the magic happen. It

00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:49.920
works at 5 GHz, which is great because an inherent property of those higher

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

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

00:12:56.560 --> 00:13:04.320
of these up. They figure that they may hit the market sometime in

00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:09.279
2018. I guess it's just frustrating because wireless is getting all these

00:13:06.880 --> 00:13:15.000
developments dumped into it and we're still using gigabit wired.

00:13:12.560 --> 00:13:19.279
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? We're trying to move away from

00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:22.720
that. Yeah, we're trying to move away from it, but it's extremely expensive

00:13:21.040 --> 00:13:28.000
and no one's really putting the effort into making it affordable. The cabling

00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:31.040
is not that bad. No, the wiring is fine.

00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:32.560
It's the switches and the adapters.

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

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,

00:13:40.560 --> 00:13:48.880
if they can integrate it onto a motherboard for $150, where's my $150

00:13:44.800 --> 00:13:50.959
Nick? Or $165, $170, whatever the case

00:13:48.880 --> 00:13:54.720
may be. Like, no one's even really making an effort. they're content to

00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:59.680
just let it sit there as a high-end solution forever. And I really think

00:13:57.199 --> 00:14:04.880
that with SSDs increasing in speed the way that they are, looking at how NVMe,

00:14:02.560 --> 00:14:08.880
so that's the replacement for AHCI, the communication protocol by which the SSD

00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:12.480
communicates with your system. So looking at what they can do with NVMe in

00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:17.199
terms of improving throughput and reducing latency, there's no reason why

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

00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:26.720
Two SSDs couldn't be transferring files to each other at like two gigabytes per

00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:28.399
second. Like, let's do this. Let's do

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

00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:36.000
megabytes per second, you know. Actually, a lot more than that. 500,

00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:40.800
600,00 not 200. Yeah. Not Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Yes.

00:14:38.199 --> 00:14:43.279
So, that never happened. There's a few numbers in there that you should ignore.

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

00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:55.199
transfers across a network. um straight from drive to drive which is very very

00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:57.040
cool. All right. Now this this topic

00:14:55.199 --> 00:15:03.360
this is an interesting this is an interesting topic. The thing that can do

00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:06.720
all the things. Now I really liked what

00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:09.680
was it the uh the transformer book duo

00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:14.480
or trio. the one that you could just press a button to switch between and

00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:18.560
where the where the Android and Windows operating systems were actually running

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

00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:29.519
different my friends. So the Transformer Book V or five I'm assuming let's say

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

00:15:33.760 --> 00:15:38.839
Android smartphone, a Windows tablet, a

00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:45.199
Windows laptop, and something. A Windows phone,

00:15:43.199 --> 00:15:49.759
Android, Windows. What the hell is this thing? So, basically, it's everything.

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

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

00:15:54.959 --> 00:16:00.720
can click the screen to the keyboard. Yes. So, much like previous

00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:04.720
Transformers, there is a hard drive down here in the keyboard because there's

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

00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:11.680
the tablet, I believe. So, the phone has

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

00:16:13.920 --> 00:16:21.440
cheat sheet for this thing here. So, yeah. So, there's a 2500 millia battery

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.

00:16:25.199 --> 00:16:31.040
unless that's in the keyboard. This is the most confusing thing ever. The point

00:16:28.800 --> 00:16:35.360
is the phone has a 1080p screen and actually um a pretty high-end spec as

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

00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:43.839
and everything kind of slots into everything. The tablet itself doesn't

00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:49.759
have Android running off of it. That's actually going to run off of the phone

00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:52.480
hardware. So, it's it's a Windows laptop

00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:57.360
and an Android phone essentially that can just like slowly come together.

00:16:55.120 --> 00:17:06.240
Yeah, this thing is like freaking bizarro though. It's kind of cool. I am

00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:08.880
less on board with this one than I am

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

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

00:17:15.520 --> 00:17:23.039
elegant solution because you had one set of hardware. So on the same Atom

00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:25.880
processor, you could run your Android OS or your Windows OS and you could switch

00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:30.880
between them in like three or four steamboats. Whereas this one, you can

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

00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:40.640
other one's running. They're not actually running on the same hardware.

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

00:17:43.600 --> 00:17:51.240
or something like that in the other piece. So, my notes for this one

00:17:48.080 --> 00:17:53.960
actually aren't that uh aren't that

00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:58.720
complete. And of course, F doesn't work in Internet

00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:02.960
Explorer because I'm a genius and I'm using Internet Explorer. Everyone rips

00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:06.559
on you about that like every single show. I don't think it's listed. Yeah,

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

00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:16.640
the Gizmodo one. So, okay, that would explain why I can't find it.

00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:23.200
So, tell me guys, it's in terms of device

00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:25.840
convergence, would you want a a a dummy

00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:30.000
device like this? Something that uh I think I think if it makes sense

00:18:28.080 --> 00:18:35.200
financially, I could see myself doing it. Like if I wanted all these things

00:18:33.120 --> 00:18:41.200
and for some reason had to refresh them all at the exact same time, which is

00:18:38.919 --> 00:18:44.559
weird and it like made sense financially, then I could see myself

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

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

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

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

00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:05.360
would want to try. I don't know. Okay,

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

00:19:09.280 --> 00:19:15.600
notebook, a Windows tablet, an Android

00:19:12.320 --> 00:19:19.280
phone, an Android tablet, and an Android

00:19:15.600 --> 00:19:22.679
laptop. So that is how the whole thing

00:19:19.280 --> 00:19:25.840
works. And the detachable Android

00:19:22.679 --> 00:19:29.320
smartphone is detachable. So that's the

00:19:25.840 --> 00:19:32.559
piece that is not not Windows phone at

00:19:29.320 --> 00:19:33.919
all. So this is interesting. Okay. Okay.

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

00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:41.520
the phone. That's actually that's actually very interesting. So, it is an

00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:48.240
Atom quad core on the phone and then it is a nextG core processor on the

00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:50.480
notebook/t piece itself. So, this gives

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

00:19:53.760 --> 00:19:59.640
up to 128 gigs on the tablet with the 1

00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:04.320
TBTE one being detachable in the keyboard. There we go. Much more clear.

00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:07.600
Maybe next time we should go to the manufacturer site in the first place.

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

00:20:09.760 --> 00:20:14.400
checking it out and giving it a shot. I

00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:18.080
should probably let them know that we'd be interested in checking it out.

00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:23.200
Speaking of things that we're interested in checking out, ASUS has been doing

00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:25.919
their pad phones, so phones made by

00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:29.600
ASUS, Android phones, for a while in other markets. Uh, Taiwan in particular,

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

00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:39.520
North American media a little bit, but understandably not much because they

00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:44.000
haven't been available here. But it's finally coming. So, this is probably

00:20:41.840 --> 00:20:48.159
where I got that Snapdragon thing that was sitting in my head because this one

00:20:45.600 --> 00:20:53.200
does use a Snapdragon 800 processor. But, basically, it's a high-end phone.

00:20:49.919 --> 00:20:55.840
It's going to be $200 with a contract.

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

00:20:57.919 --> 00:21:04.159
screen, 1920 x 12. Wait, hold on a second. Right. Sorry. This one, no

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

00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:12.000
this one, the tablet is just a dummy.

00:21:09.840 --> 00:21:15.919
Yeah, it's basically just a screen except that it also has keyboard and

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

00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:24.240
and a 4990 mAh battery in the tablet. So, you put them together and what do

00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:27.720
you got? Bippity bobbity bop. Bigger battery.

00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:31.280
Um, fascinating. I I mean, okay, we need to

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

00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:42.240
that merges with a tablet? And guys,

00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:45.280
give us your thoughts on Twitter as well. Just hit me at Linus Techch. We're

00:21:43.760 --> 00:21:49.679
going to do a Twitter blitz on this. What would you need to see? So, between

00:21:47.120 --> 00:21:52.880
the notebook that has an Android operating system and a window Wind

00:21:51.120 --> 00:21:56.760
Windows operating system running on two completely separate pieces of hardware

00:21:54.640 --> 00:22:01.760
and it's like notebook/tabt/detachable phone versus

00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:06.640
the Padphone X, which is a phone with like a tablet dock that the phone goes

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

00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:15.120
screen. The whole thing runs Android. They're claiming up to 10 hours of

00:22:11.840 --> 00:22:17.120
battery life for video playback. And

00:22:15.120 --> 00:22:20.559
what an interesting device. I'm actually really looking forward to checking this

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

00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:30.000
most even poll we've ever had. Holy

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

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

00:22:35.760 --> 00:22:42.240
the screen from the end gadget article about the Padphone X. So, here's the way

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

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

00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:58.400
in 16x10 1920 x 1200

00:22:53.320 --> 00:23:01.440
tablet. For 200 bucks on contract, would

00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:03.919
you accept a little bit of a reduction

00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:09.600
in terms of like fancy specs and features like what you might get on an

00:23:05.840 --> 00:23:11.200
HTC 1M8 for a more basic phone, but one

00:23:09.600 --> 00:23:14.799
that comes with a tablet now that you've actually spent some time using a tablet?

00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:21.200
Probably not. I know. I know that might sound

00:23:19.280 --> 00:23:26.320
surprising because I was paying for the tablet, but that tablet was only 200

00:23:23.520 --> 00:23:30.240
bucks in itself. But this is 200 bucks on contract and the tablety part comes

00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:34.880
with your phone that you are. And let's assume you already need a phone. Yeah.

00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:39.120
But then at the same time, uh, independent batteries is kind of nice.

00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:43.320
They do have independent batteries. Can the tablet charge the phone?

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

00:23:47.600 --> 00:23:54.559
on the tablet? Hard to say. Hard to say. It can run

00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:58.880
independently is kind of nice as well. Yeah. Which it can't. Yeah, because like

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

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

00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:11.520
run it independently is nice. Uh that way like if someone's over and you have

00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:14.080
your Chromecast set up to be able to stream things off your tablet, they can

00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:18.400
be looking at your tablet and you can still have usability of your phone.

00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:23.840
Other things like that would be nice. Um if it's going to be like $50

00:24:21.320 --> 00:24:27.120
more compared to buying an equivalent phone and you just get this tablet dock

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

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

00:24:32.320 --> 00:24:39.600
I'd probably be down. Wow. But I'm not super into buying phones on contract

00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:44.960
anymore anyways. That's exactly 50/50. Well, no is technically winning, but

00:24:41.360 --> 00:24:47.760
like yeah, not by much. If anyone hasn't

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

00:24:49.120 --> 00:24:56.000
again. But that is absolutely amazing. So, it looks like there's definitely

00:24:53.840 --> 00:25:01.559
some interest in the whole tablet phone merger thing, but it remains to be seen

00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:04.799
if anyone other than ASUS has the uh has

00:25:01.559 --> 00:25:07.279
the wherewithal or the willingness or

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

00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:14.799
thing you could see Samsung kind of going, "Oh, something we didn't think

00:25:12.080 --> 00:25:19.760
of. Let's make one, too." And then so everything that Samsung does. Yeah,

00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:21.440
pretty much. It's like an idea. We're

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

00:25:23.840 --> 00:25:29.679
make really bad commercials to go along with them. Oh, that, you know, they were

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

00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:37.760
most recent one that they will not stop playing on YouTube is actually pretty

00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:43.840
okay. Is it okay? I haven't seen that one yet. All right. It's for

00:25:41.320 --> 00:25:46.960
um their their their watch and their phone at the same time in one

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

00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:53.360
doesn't have a terrible story line like the one with the guy picking up the

00:25:51.760 --> 00:25:56.799
chick with his smartwatch. Yeah. Yeah. None of that kind of stuff. It's just

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

00:26:00.080 --> 00:26:06.000
painful. All right. So, let's uh So, it looks like No is actually winning now,

00:26:03.760 --> 00:26:09.919
but only by 2%. Let's hit the Twitters. All right.

00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:13.840
Okay. All that Twitter interaction that we often forget to do sometimes these

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

00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:24.240
hurt. Whoa. That's kind of trippy when someone turns the monitor while you're

00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:32.039
holding the mouse still. It's like, "Oh, my mouse is moving, man."

00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:32.039
Oh, wow. Whoa, man.

00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:37.760
All right. So, the original phone pad distributes the battery power evenly.

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?

00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:46.080
That would be kind of cool, actually. Okay. Craig says, "Not a fan of the

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

00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:54.159
the benefit to having them connect. Okay, that's interesting. But I mean, by

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

00:26:56.159 --> 00:27:01.440
speakers because then if one of the speakers fails, you only have half a

00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:04.799
stereo. That's not even right because they disconnect. Yeah. If one of them

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

00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:11.600
tablet. You will never Well, because the tablet won't work without the phone. So,

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

00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:19.919
breaks, you're totally screwed. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know that that's not

00:27:17.360 --> 00:27:23.520
really I have my Pad phone X pre-ordered. I get an almost

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.

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

00:27:28.799 --> 00:27:36.960
for some reason the wireless carriers are still determined to fleece us on the

00:27:34.159 --> 00:27:41.960
whole idea that we should be able to use our data across multiple devices. It's

00:27:39.919 --> 00:27:47.520
like I I just stuff so annoying stuff battles

00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:53.919
that were won you know a hundred years ago like you know

00:27:50.760 --> 00:27:55.840
I actually now that I think of it it's

00:27:53.919 --> 00:28:00.000
not that different from other things. I mean, you look at

00:27:57.240 --> 00:28:04.320
um you look at the way that your cable TV provider once you switched off of

00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:09.039
analog where you could just use splitters and they kind of like were

00:28:06.399 --> 00:28:14.559
like, "Oh yeah, you need a digital box. Rent another digital box for every TV.

00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:16.240
Yeah, it costs extra." Um yeah, I guess

00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:20.240
that's just the way everything's going. You have to subscribe per device rather

00:28:18.159 --> 00:28:24.399
than per person. It's very annoying. Except Except for Netflix. So, you just

00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:27.760
have to subscribe per device that's streaming at that point in time. It's

00:28:26.080 --> 00:28:30.799
whatever works out better for whoever's providing it to you. So, you look at

00:28:29.120 --> 00:28:35.279
something like Windows. If I could license Windows per person, I'd be

00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:42.080
thrilled. And that's per device. And then you look at actually, what is per

00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:43.840
person? Oh, boy. Well, isn't uh Adobe

00:28:42.080 --> 00:28:46.960
Creative Cloud technically per person? Oh, yeah. That's per person, but it's

00:28:45.120 --> 00:28:50.720
just not infinite amount of devices. It's like three or something. Two. Yeah,

00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:54.000
two devices. So, basically, it's like uh but you can bounce around. You just

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

00:28:56.399 --> 00:29:01.120
can make the phone not protrude so weirdly and the specs are still solid

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

00:29:04.080 --> 00:29:09.360
would do that anytime soon though. Unless it was more like the phone kind

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

00:29:11.600 --> 00:29:18.200
going to want the phone to have support while it's clipped in. Unless it was

00:29:15.840 --> 00:29:22.159
like unless there was Yeah, I can't think of a good way to do

00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:26.000
that. Not really. We're also not engineers though.

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,

00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:33.360
the phone is a bit too big at 5 in. 5 in

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

00:29:35.520 --> 00:29:42.880
still think weird. I still find it big cuz my hands are still small. They

00:29:39.840 --> 00:29:46.720
didn't change because screen sizes

00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:49.039
became a fad that got bigger. Um, and I

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

00:29:50.559 --> 00:29:58.559
smaller than the iPad. So, really, I didn't say anything. 9 in

00:29:56.799 --> 00:30:02.320
is a comfortable size for a tablet. I didn't even pause suggesting. I didn't

00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:07.200
say anything. You can click in whatever you want. Will says, "I would need to

00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:11.799
see a quad core on everything. Greater than six pounds total weight." What are

00:30:10.159 --> 00:30:16.919
you asking for? Why would you want a sixb tablet?

00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:22.720
All right, Will, you're done. I think he's done his things wrong. Most phones

00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:25.440
have the specs to power a tablet anyway. Yeah, it's basically the same hardware.

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.

00:30:28.559 --> 00:30:33.360
Makes sense for them to converge, but only if it's cheaper than two devices.

00:30:31.919 --> 00:30:37.919
And if you're saving money on the hardware and on the data plan, and

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.

00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:47.360
Yeah. Yeah. As a mobile game developer, I need

00:30:45.600 --> 00:30:53.399
top-end hardware. Both of these are clearly lacking high-end CPUs and

00:30:51.720 --> 00:31:00.320
GPUs. Um, in what way? Because there's

00:30:57.679 --> 00:31:05.520
actually only one CPU and one GPU. The tablet doesn't have one. So, this is

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

00:31:07.679 --> 00:31:14.240
the tablet dock and the phone, or is he talking about this and the Transformer

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

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

00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:30.480
faster than that in terms of a mobile CPU. I mean, the 805 is marginally

00:31:27.600 --> 00:31:34.240
better at certain things, but it's not a quantum lead forward or anything like

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

00:31:35.760 --> 00:31:42.960
on to our next topic here? Sure. All right. What do we got? the monitor that

00:31:41.840 --> 00:31:47.440
you're probably going to be excited about. Actually, believe it or not, I'm

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?

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

00:31:53.039 --> 00:32:00.159
like it seemed to be one big call of ASUS topics. Well, it was Computex.

00:31:58.240 --> 00:32:03.600
Computex is a big show for Taiwanese companies, so it makes a lot of sense

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.

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

00:32:13.919 --> 00:32:20.960
ProArts tend to be 10 bit color, 100%

00:32:17.600 --> 00:32:22.960
sRGB, wide color gamut capable. It's got

00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:26.399
three HDMI inputs, one of which supports MHL, so you can output off your phone to

00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:31.440
your monitor, as if anyone's ever done that ever. Um, I was corrected about

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

00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:42.039
tablets outputting to TVs doesn't matter

00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:44.799
because chcast is sort of a thing.

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

00:32:47.919 --> 00:32:53.760
understand what he was talking about, but basically I concluded that he's

00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:57.519
drunk. Okay. I was like, "So, how are you proved wrong here? I don't

00:32:55.440 --> 00:33:01.919
understand." So, what's exciting about this one, even though ASUS doesn't have

00:32:59.039 --> 00:33:06.159
a clear idea of when exactly it will be released or what exactly the price will

00:33:03.760 --> 00:33:12.000
be, it will be considerably cheaper than the $3,000 PQ series. Um, which was

00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:15.600
launched actually, I believe the first time we saw it was Computex last year. I

00:33:13.919 --> 00:33:20.159
think so. It's amazing the way prices are dropping on dim 4Ks, eh, it's

00:33:18.000 --> 00:33:25.360
exciting. Yeah, it's might actually be reasonable at some point in time. And in

00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:28.640
terms of the actual display quality, well, it's not 100% clear what it'll be

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

00:33:31.360 --> 00:33:37.440
color, factory color calibrated, this could actually be anything. Hard to say.

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

00:33:40.080 --> 00:33:46.799
much cheaper, and should be landing sometime in the next sort of little

00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:51.120
while. Uh, but they're ending they're aiming for about half the price of the

00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:56.720
older PQ. So, we should be looking at like 1500 to 2,000ish, somewhere in that

00:33:54.240 --> 00:34:00.399
range. So, why not interested? Uh, because I just don't care about 4K

00:33:58.080 --> 00:34:07.600
anymore. Oh, because you want your wide format. Yeah, I'm done. 4K is

00:34:04.120 --> 00:34:10.240
until scaling is fixed.

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

00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:18.000
upgrade to a display that makes some

00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:23.280
things look extremely sharp and other things look worse than before and some

00:34:20.560 --> 00:34:27.040
things incredibly hard to read and weird website formatting and all this other

00:34:24.879 --> 00:34:31.119
stuff and all that stuff that that you know Microsoft and application

00:34:29.520 --> 00:34:39.599
developers really needed to be working on over the last few years as opposed to

00:34:35.040 --> 00:34:41.839
oh 4K is here oh I guess we better do

00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:45.280
something. Some of them are reacting, some just aren't. Some just aren't

00:34:43.359 --> 00:34:49.520
reacting at all. And that that kind of attitude is what sets Apple apart. And I

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

00:34:51.200 --> 00:34:57.119
do are really, really good and they're

00:34:54.560 --> 00:35:02.000
good things. the fact that they figured out how to make scaling work properly on

00:34:59.680 --> 00:35:06.000
their oss before rolling out the hardware that supports it or at the same

00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:10.480
like put just putting in the work to make sure that things actually function

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

00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:17.599
able to take for granted but I know that

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

00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:27.839
actually pretty pretty excited to try iOS 8. Um, some of the stuff here

00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:33.920
doesn't look that interesting. I mean, HomeKit is going to be really excit

00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:36.960
Okay, McAfee, just screw off. Um,

00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:38.720
HomeKit is going to be either a massive

00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:43.680
success in the future or there's going to be something else that completely

00:35:41.520 --> 00:35:47.599
destroys it and is way better, but that's Apple's Apple's way of

00:35:45.680 --> 00:35:52.640
integrating their device with home automation stuff like your blinds or

00:35:49.839 --> 00:35:56.480
your thermostat or your door lock. um they're building security into it so

00:35:54.480 --> 00:36:00.800
that the theory is that no one can unlock your door except you. What's I

00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:05.599
mean what's interesting is with that whole thing with people remotely locking

00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:14.280
iPhones and then holding them for ransom. Um, that was that was one thing,

00:36:11.280 --> 00:36:17.760
but oh my god, breaking into people's

00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:20.079
phones and breaking into people

00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:25.920
basically breaking into someone's ecosystem of digital devices is going to

00:36:23.359 --> 00:36:31.839
be a really scary thing. You know what would be interesting would be offline

00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:33.440
phones like having having a phone which

00:36:31.839 --> 00:36:37.280
is like your public phone which you don't store anything super crazy on. Are

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

00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:45.200
in. Do you often cheat on women? What? Why are you Why is two phones your

00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:48.480
solution to every problem? You've been watching too much Breaking Bad. I do

00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:51.359
that a lot, too. I have two phones right now. Anyways,

00:36:51.640 --> 00:36:56.960
um no to both those questions. But seriously, you could have one that's set

00:36:55.680 --> 00:37:00.720
up for all your home automation and everything. Yes. Does not connect to the

00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:04.079
internet. Okay. So, you don't have to worry nearly as much about getting

00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:06.720
hijacked. These could still possibly get hijacked through other devices or

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

00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:17.520
just a random I think this is an incredibly stupid solution to the

00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:19.760
problem. Wow. Why? That's so mean.

00:37:17.520 --> 00:37:24.240
Because it's the same reason no one Okay, basically what mobile phones have

00:37:22.160 --> 00:37:30.800
huge security holes. So completely removing that security hole is helpful.

00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:38.160
at basically what you're suggesting is we bring back the PDA

00:37:33.359 --> 00:37:39.440
kind of an offline phone. Yeah. No. Why?

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

00:37:43.040 --> 00:37:50.839
straw pole. Offline. Offline phones. Do they need to be a thing or is Slick an

00:37:48.880 --> 00:37:56.960
idiot? Those can be the only two options. Yes, we need these. Luke is an

00:37:54.160 --> 00:38:00.680
idiot. I'm going to get destroyed.

00:38:01.680 --> 00:38:06.240
Sometimes you don't think before you talk. No, I actually still agree with

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

00:38:08.560 --> 00:38:15.920
device that can control these. Okay. But I think the kind of device you're

00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:18.079
thinking of is just is like is is like

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

00:38:19.839 --> 00:38:25.839
to be Yeah. But like whatever it is, it should be some device that has no

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

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

00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:36.960
screen. That's why I said phone. Would you need a screen once you're more

00:38:34.640 --> 00:38:41.839
immersed in a wearable type of ecosystem? So your glass as of right

00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:44.400
now, I do think so because well glasses can be connected to the internet. If you

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

00:38:48.160 --> 00:38:53.920
like what if you just touch your ring against your glass? It goes into

00:38:51.839 --> 00:38:59.680
airplane mode. Hold on. What if it just acts as a display? So the processing's

00:38:56.839 --> 00:39:03.040
here. Everything is here except just a display link. There's there's no way to

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

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,

00:39:09.680 --> 00:39:14.880
so you basically just had your glass and then you could like gesture or do

00:39:13.200 --> 00:39:19.359
whatever else or type in the air or whatever solutions they end up coming up

00:39:16.240 --> 00:39:20.640
with. I think that's feasible. So a

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

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

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

00:39:33.520 --> 00:39:41.440
helpful. It has because I want I would want it to be

00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:42.960
733 MHz. Oh, no. 533 MHz. I was like,

00:39:41.440 --> 00:39:48.800
that's actually pretty fast. Xcale processor. All right. It's got like uh

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

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

00:39:54.480 --> 00:40:00.240
whenever I go there, it can recognize me and I can change different things on the

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

00:40:03.440 --> 00:40:09.920
megs of compact flash storage. Stupid pocket PC. That's not what I'm trying to

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

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

00:40:17.520 --> 00:40:26.640
straw pole? It's It's Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, bollocks. There we

00:40:23.359 --> 00:40:28.480
go. All right. No, no, no. Where's

00:40:26.640 --> 00:40:31.280
Where's ours? I just posted it. You just keep looking away whenever I post it.

00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:34.720
There you go. There we go. All right. So, let's have a

00:40:33.119 --> 00:40:37.480
look at the results of the poll here. Wow. Actually, you're doing better than

00:40:36.560 --> 00:40:43.440
I thought. 42% of people are blindly

00:40:41.359 --> 00:40:48.040
following you off of the abyss like the lemmings that they are. You just want

00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:50.640
everyone's house to get locked. And

00:40:48.040 --> 00:40:54.800
68% of you are saying that that's basically a stupid idea from a stupid

00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:58.240
658%. Well, I I might have embellished. So,

00:40:56.800 --> 00:41:02.079
they're all following the dude that like can't read anything at all. just adds

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

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

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.

00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:20.960
It's getting personal now, And you're just wrong.

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

00:41:24.240 --> 00:41:30.880
sweaty that your pants were wet. Actually, that was me. But that was so

00:41:27.839 --> 00:41:34.599
not true at all. You literally said that

00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:37.119
like last week.

00:41:34.599 --> 00:41:42.160
What? Now you're making Oh man, you're just saying things about yourself and

00:41:39.720 --> 00:41:46.800
then that doesn't even make any sense. I'm projecting.

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

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

00:41:53.200 --> 00:42:01.359
are finally getting third-party keyboards, which is something that I was

00:41:58.400 --> 00:42:05.599
really disappointed about with uh moving from Android back to iOS. Going back to

00:42:03.440 --> 00:42:10.720
being stuck with just one keyboard was was was grinding my gears. And this is

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

00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:20.880
own their own keyboard is also getting some enhanced um functionality in terms

00:42:18.880 --> 00:42:25.520
of an auto prediction that predicts the next word based on people that you're

00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:30.319
talking to and whatever else. Uh so basically like Swift Key except with

00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:31.760
even tighter integration. Um I wonder if

00:42:30.319 --> 00:42:34.880
I wonder if the custom keyboard apps would be able to access that as well. I

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

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

00:42:42.160 --> 00:42:47.599
dictionary? Okay. I don't I've never extensively used an iPhone, so I don't

00:42:45.359 --> 00:42:51.359
know. Um, so you can reply directly from the notification pull down thing. So you

00:42:49.280 --> 00:42:56.720
got interactive notifications. Um, their mail app, which I never use because the

00:42:53.200 --> 00:42:59.280
Gmail one is way better, has gestures

00:42:56.720 --> 00:43:04.560
for removing, flagging, and such. Their health kit thing is basically Apple

00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:06.800
jumping on the whole bandwagon of, you

00:43:04.560 --> 00:43:11.280
know, heart monitors and whatever. What's kind of cool about health kit is

00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:14.720
you can actually um have your results being automatically sent over to like

00:43:12.960 --> 00:43:18.400
Mayo Clinic or your doctor or something like that. So someone else can be

00:43:16.800 --> 00:43:24.240
helping you helping you track your activity. Um HomeKit I guess is where we

00:43:21.520 --> 00:43:30.000
got sidetracked. Uh photos taken with any iOS 8 device will be available via

00:43:26.319 --> 00:43:32.079
iCloud. So it's like okay kind of like

00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:38.800
Bit Torrent Sync or Dropbox or Dropbox or whatever. Um, 200 gigs of iCloud is

00:43:35.720 --> 00:43:40.800
3.99. Siri now has Shazam integration,

00:43:38.800 --> 00:43:45.599
which is pretty cool because opening up Shazam was a lot of work. And then

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

00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:54.400
getting iOS 8. That's actually kind of interesting. That is fantastic. They do

00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:59.200
some pretty crazy stuff in terms of backwards compatibility. I mean, that's

00:43:56.160 --> 00:44:02.720
great. I have tablets from that era that

00:43:59.200 --> 00:44:05.280
are running like 4.0. Yeah.

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

00:44:07.040 --> 00:44:12.160
in the Shazam integration than I think you are because it would be nice like

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

00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:21.440
be like Siri, open Shazam or whatever.

00:44:19.520 --> 00:44:24.640
Okay, you're probably right because you said they're they're adding hello Siri

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

00:44:26.839 --> 00:44:32.319
completely handsless, like touchless completely without any worrying, that

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

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

00:44:38.160 --> 00:44:43.920
fair bit because I don't really pay attention to celebrities and No, me

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

00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:54.560
song will be on the radio and I'll be like, "Wow, that sounds great.

00:44:52.319 --> 00:45:01.599
What is it?" Yeah, I hear you. That's funny. I got to

00:44:57.599 --> 00:45:03.280
get me some of that some of that top 40.

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

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

00:45:10.640 --> 00:45:17.200
actually stoked for this. Do you want to cover this one? Cuz uh sure. the the

00:45:15.520 --> 00:45:22.240
I've been super super interested in voice controlling devices for quite a

00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:26.319
while now and I've been waiting for Cortana announcements and being able to

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

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

00:45:33.040 --> 00:45:39.599
or VG247 um you can you can listen to audio clips

00:45:37.200 --> 00:45:43.680
of her talking. Uh, it's it's essentially the answer to Google Now and

00:45:41.599 --> 00:45:47.839
Siri for Windows phone, and I think they're adding it to Xbox as well. But

00:45:46.240 --> 00:45:52.480
she should be able to have casual conversations with you as well, which is

00:45:49.520 --> 00:45:56.240
fairly interesting and creepy. It's creepy, but not necessarily because if

00:45:54.800 --> 00:45:59.680
she could I'm old and afraid of technology, so it's kind of creepy. But

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

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

00:46:06.319 --> 00:46:12.400
the articles they have examples. of like kind of cheeky things that she'll say

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

00:46:14.640 --> 00:46:20.160
apparently I'll help save the universe in about 500 years." And I'm just kind

00:46:18.079 --> 00:46:26.240
of like, "Yeah, but all those are like anything that relies on a pre-programmed

00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:28.720
response is always going to not be that

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

00:46:31.440 --> 00:46:37.920
we get to the point where the wood dynamically breaks upon impact from the

00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:44.160
bullet, it's going to look like a video game. Yeah. Yeah. True. Sorry. Go ahead.

00:46:41.520 --> 00:46:47.760
But uh because it's all in server, they're planning on adding things like

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

00:46:51.040 --> 00:46:56.880
it can go along with current events. So if you ask it about current events, it

00:46:54.800 --> 00:47:00.560
can have topical things to say about all that kind of stuff. So, while you're

00:46:58.079 --> 00:47:04.000
completely right and it's going to add this weird thing where like you could

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

00:47:06.560 --> 00:47:11.280
going to sound a little weird weird like same thing down to the letter. Yeah. So,

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

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

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

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

00:47:25.359 --> 00:47:33.599
just don't really have any desire to converse with my phone. Not really.

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

00:47:36.319 --> 00:47:44.000
what's up? Yeah, but it's horrible. It

00:47:39.839 --> 00:47:46.079
is so terrible and it is not useful and

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

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

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

00:47:57.280 --> 00:48:02.880
like, "Hello, Luke. The time is 6:47

00:48:00.400 --> 00:48:05.760
p.m. You have two emails. Subject line blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

00:48:04.400 --> 00:48:09.520
blah. Okay, done. You have text messages from done. Okay, bye." It's like, what?

00:48:08.319 --> 00:48:13.440
That was what? Where's the interactivity? How do I say, "Oh, hey,

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

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

00:48:19.680 --> 00:48:26.480
her making sure that she takes time in between words saying, "Hello, Luke. The

00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:30.079
time is blah blah blah." Then once she gets to her email, she blurts email and

00:48:28.640 --> 00:48:35.119
text messages. She blurts out things super fast. Doesn't always read them

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

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

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

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

00:48:51.359 --> 00:48:57.640
could be a dozen different people.

00:48:54.800 --> 00:49:02.319
Such a player. What? Oh my god. Okay. Anyways, but like

00:49:00.640 --> 00:49:05.920
there there are a lot of messages that aren't like that that could be from

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

00:49:07.440 --> 00:49:12.480
message that's like, "Hey, are you on the way?" This is the time where it

00:49:11.200 --> 00:49:16.720
would be amazingly helpful. My phone goes off and says I have a text message.

00:49:14.559 --> 00:49:21.520
Okay, Google. Now, what's up? Blah blah blah blah blah says, "Hey, are you on

00:49:18.720 --> 00:49:25.359
the way?" Oh, respond. Yeah, I'm just driving.

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

00:49:27.440 --> 00:49:32.960
had with Google's voice activation in general, and they fixed one of them

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

00:49:35.040 --> 00:49:43.040
the way their voice dialing used to work is you'd say, "Call whoever work or

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

00:49:45.839 --> 00:49:51.839
No, no, I think it was um calling whoever. Uh would you like to call blah

00:49:50.400 --> 00:49:56.319
blah blah work? Would you like to call blah blah blah mobile? Call this one.

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

00:49:58.800 --> 00:50:05.280
think it would ask you to confirm or something like that. I'm like

00:50:01.800 --> 00:50:06.960
no just when I say it just do it. And I

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

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

00:50:14.240 --> 00:50:21.680
driving, I think it will do a little bit better than Okay, Google Now does,

00:50:19.119 --> 00:50:25.079
right? But then and then like Okay, Google Now isn't even on a massive

00:50:23.680 --> 00:50:29.520
amount of devices. So what? Yeah, it's just on

00:50:27.839 --> 00:50:33.440
Moto X right now. Yeah, to my knowledge. So like what? And it's just Okay,

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.

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

00:50:39.520 --> 00:50:46.000
have had apparently lots of problems with Google Now that no one else in the

00:50:43.359 --> 00:50:49.839
entire universe has had. So anyway, I'm gonna give I'll give Windows Phone 8

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

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

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

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

00:51:02.960 --> 00:51:08.559
fact, I sincerely doubt it. But with some of the great devices available on

00:51:06.800 --> 00:51:11.680
Windows Phone, like Nokia's latest flagship, which I can't remember what

00:51:09.920 --> 00:51:17.359
it's called, but it's really good. It's got a great camera. Um,

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

00:51:19.680 --> 00:51:26.240
I still really want to try it out. Uh, what else we got here? All

00:51:24.400 --> 00:51:29.359
right. Should we get into Microsoft is going to do more for PC gaming? Really,

00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:33.000
this time it's different. They're like an abusive spouse at this point. All

00:51:31.920 --> 00:51:41.040
right. So, this was originally posted on the

00:51:35.520 --> 00:51:44.160
forum by some sort of action here. I I

00:51:41.040 --> 00:51:47.119
whatever you go be a Microsoft fanboy

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

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.

00:51:56.880 --> 00:52:03.200
And that was why I had to abuse you.

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.

00:52:08.400 --> 00:52:17.359
This is why I have to hit you. This hurts me more than you.

00:52:14.559 --> 00:52:22.559
Horrible. Okay, that was awful. Not all right. Okay, so Microsoft's recent

00:52:20.319 --> 00:52:26.640
acquisition of the PC ccentric Rise of Nations franchise is just the first step

00:52:24.480 --> 00:52:32.160
in Microsoft's efforts to do more in the PC game, also known as only. According

00:52:29.359 --> 00:52:35.359
to Xbox boss Phil Spencer, a fan asked Spencer on Twitter why Microsoft had

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

00:52:38.720 --> 00:52:45.200
great place to sell Win32 games. We acquired the IP for future work. I'm a

00:52:42.800 --> 00:52:49.200
big fan of the franchise." Uh, the fan is apparently a Yahoo

00:52:47.359 --> 00:52:52.640
because this fan responded by saying they aren't interested in installing

00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:58.119
Steam. Praise be to Gaban. Um, but would

00:52:56.079 --> 00:53:04.000
rather enjoy a games for Windows Live replacement. Praise be to Gab. Um,

00:53:02.079 --> 00:53:08.079
wait, wait, what? What? Did you read that part of this? Yeah. The fan is

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

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

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

00:53:19.839 --> 00:53:26.000
create a direct competitor for Steam and they shouldn't. I'd like to see more

00:53:24.040 --> 00:53:31.839
collaboration between Yeah, we've brought up about how Ubisoft needs to

00:53:28.559 --> 00:53:34.400
give up and reskin Steam. Okay, so at

00:53:31.839 --> 00:53:38.800
any rate, just having you play this article blah blah blah, etc., etc.

00:53:36.800 --> 00:53:43.440
Microsoft whatever has committed more DirectX12 blah blah blah. So this is

00:53:41.440 --> 00:53:48.559
great. Um someone point brought this to Joner's attention and it was added to

00:53:45.680 --> 00:53:53.680
the original post. It's a post from 2013 that chronicles all the times that

00:53:50.480 --> 00:53:55.760
Microsoft has said this in 2005. We care

00:53:53.680 --> 00:54:00.559
about PC gaming. Longhorn that's the code name for Vista. Um blah blah blah

00:53:58.400 --> 00:54:05.760
to usher in modern PC gaming with Trey and Play. Do you guys remember that

00:54:02.240 --> 00:54:07.599
games folder for Vista that is gone now?

00:54:05.760 --> 00:54:12.640
Okay. Well, Vista launched with none of the stuff they promised. Vista was not

00:54:10.079 --> 00:54:16.720
popular. 2006, I think actually the what the article says is Vista itself sucks

00:54:14.640 --> 00:54:22.079
the ass of a thousand camels. But I decided to make that not point as but

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.

00:54:27.040 --> 00:54:33.760
All right. So saying it in the first place. 2006, Microsoft says, "Don't

00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:37.599
count PC games out." And they announced games for Windows Live. Talk about how

00:54:35.280 --> 00:54:41.440
amazing it will be. In 2007, they continue the PC push. They launched

00:54:39.119 --> 00:54:47.839
games for Windows Live with a $50 a year fee. Genius. Thanks for saving. They

00:54:45.520 --> 00:54:52.720
also They also announced a whole slew of games to include uh uh Shadow Run with

00:54:50.640 --> 00:54:55.839
crossplatform play and Gears of War and blah blah blah. Crossplatform play.

00:54:54.240 --> 00:54:58.760
Where? What happened to cross-platform play? They realize that PC gamers were

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

00:55:02.400 --> 00:55:10.960
faster with a keyboard and mouse. like it's it's not gonna happen. 2008. Um,

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.

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

00:55:17.920 --> 00:55:24.319
games for Windows Live. It's got a new skin. 2009, PC gaming is still a

00:55:22.640 --> 00:55:29.359
priority for us. It's really vital for us. We're still serious, guys. 2010,

00:55:26.960 --> 00:55:33.839
we're doubling down, which means Games for Windows Live is still here, and

00:55:31.040 --> 00:55:38.880
we'll update some stuff. Um, to fix the problem of game saves being deleted. Uh,

00:55:36.920 --> 00:55:42.800
2010, Games for Windows Live Marketplace.

00:55:40.480 --> 00:55:48.480
These are all things we 2010, Windows 8 is going to relaunch gaming. Um, just

00:55:45.520 --> 00:55:52.400
like we promised back in 2006. 2012, we won't ditch games for Windows Live.

00:55:49.920 --> 00:55:59.359
2013, we're discontinuing Windows Live. Thank you. Um, 2013, Microsoft promises

00:55:56.079 --> 00:56:03.839
core firstparty games coming to PC. So,

00:55:59.359 --> 00:56:06.559
forgive me if I give exactly zero craps

00:56:03.839 --> 00:56:11.920
about Microsoft's recommitment to the PC because it really just I mean, you look

00:56:08.720 --> 00:56:14.160
at the rumors circulating about how, you

00:56:11.920 --> 00:56:18.880
know, there's at least some discussion about canning the Xbox division

00:56:16.280 --> 00:56:23.280
altogether. Never mind PC gaming, which was the red-headed stepchild eight years

00:56:21.040 --> 00:56:28.240
ago. I mean, okay, with all of that said,

00:56:26.079 --> 00:56:31.440
with all of that said, anyway, blah blah blah. Spencer says, "Part of my Xbox

00:56:29.760 --> 00:56:37.359
role is to bring back our Windows gaming focus." I mean, there is

00:56:33.480 --> 00:56:40.000
there the opportunity has been missed

00:56:37.359 --> 00:56:45.359
time upon time with the original Xbox. There was an opportunity to get Xboxes

00:56:42.559 --> 00:56:50.240
rolled out as media streamers, which actually there are still some deployed

00:56:47.680 --> 00:56:54.240
today. Yeah. As media streaming boxes to to get rolled out as an inexpensive

00:56:52.160 --> 00:56:59.280
media streaming box that happens to also be a cheapo gaming console. And then to

00:56:56.880 --> 00:57:03.760
bring that library of games to PC gamers and Xbox gamers alike, throw mouse and

00:57:01.760 --> 00:57:08.559
keyboard compatibility at the Xbox so that there isn't that inherent

00:57:05.319 --> 00:57:09.920
disadvantage and and make it all one big

00:57:08.559 --> 00:57:13.920
ecosystem, which would have been amazing. Then go and add Windows phone

00:57:11.599 --> 00:57:18.480
and tablet and all this stuff to it to keep things segregated the way they do.

00:57:16.160 --> 00:57:23.359
Never made any sense to me. What could they have possibly been thinking?

00:57:20.240 --> 00:57:25.760
Developing games for just one platform

00:57:23.359 --> 00:57:32.000
instead of all the platforms. I mean you look at what Microsoft has invested in

00:57:29.040 --> 00:57:36.000
the typical in a typical PC. Okay. So let's say they develop a piece of

00:57:33.440 --> 00:57:40.960
software. Let's say for example Halo. Okay. Halo 2 or whatever. Doesn't

00:57:38.880 --> 00:57:47.440
matter. The point is if they could sell that to any PC user or any Xbox

00:57:44.599 --> 00:57:50.400
user, why do they care? I even would have even if they had it separate, I

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

00:57:54.079 --> 00:58:00.799
would kind of go, okay, that's a benefit. But I don't think particularly

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

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

00:58:08.880 --> 00:58:15.200
you're really even making that much on the hardware. And then if they if if

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?

00:58:17.920 --> 00:58:24.559
You should just want a bigger installer base and a bigger community for your

00:58:22.079 --> 00:58:29.680
fans and not alienate all of the people that Trump for your platform so hard.

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

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

00:58:38.480 --> 00:58:44.880
it's like this is why your installer base is really large. Like come on. One

00:58:42.960 --> 00:58:48.400
of the reasons. One yeah one of the reasons. All right, so more bad

00:58:46.720 --> 00:58:52.960
Microsoft news before we have good Microsoft stuff. Uh, Microsoft confirms

00:58:50.880 --> 00:58:58.240
the Xbox One is more powerful without the connect hookup. So, this is posted

00:58:55.680 --> 00:59:02.079
on the forum by Miss Thro. This ties into a video that we have

00:58:59.760 --> 00:59:08.079
coming shortly. Yeah. So, they figure it's about 10%. 10% additional GPU

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

00:59:10.559 --> 00:59:16.720
a big deal. um

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

00:59:19.200 --> 00:59:25.280
and 60 FPS. And we have a really great video coming probably in a couple weeks

00:59:23.200 --> 00:59:29.520
that's going to be about that. But it might be the difference between running

00:59:26.400 --> 00:59:32.599
at like what is it? 882p.

00:59:29.520 --> 00:59:35.680
Yeah. And a real resolution like

00:59:32.599 --> 00:59:37.520
1080p. Um there was a couple Yeah. So

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.

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

00:59:44.319 --> 00:59:50.400
that was Xbox 360 or something. Okay. And then we can't just disable connect.

00:59:48.400 --> 00:59:56.240
We won't sell Xbox One without connect does all of those things.

00:59:53.760 --> 01:00:00.960
But you know what? I I am proud of consumers right now for speaking with

00:59:58.240 --> 01:00:05.280
their wallets because um what they're not really buying Xboxes. Yeah. Dead

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

01:00:09.359 --> 01:00:15.359
an inferior experience, we are forcing

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

01:00:17.280 --> 01:00:24.200
just like, you guys keep on thinking we're going away, but no, we're just

01:00:21.440 --> 01:00:29.040
like massive now. So, screw you guys, which is awesome. They're

01:00:27.359 --> 01:00:32.319
ridiculously huge. I was talking to someone who was fairly close to me that

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

01:00:36.319 --> 01:00:42.000
long time ago about whether League of Legends is mainstream. Yeah. Yeah. It's

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

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

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

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

01:00:58.400 --> 01:01:05.359
trick. No, I can't give you all three.

01:01:01.920 --> 01:01:07.040
Make the audience put him down. Have him

01:01:05.359 --> 01:01:10.480
put himself down and then have him congratulate me for it. Well, no, it's

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

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

01:01:18.000 --> 01:01:24.160
battle. This Yeah, this was your decision. Yeah. Okay. And then my wife

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

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

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

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

01:01:38.640 --> 01:01:45.280
you don't think about how isolated or

01:01:42.640 --> 01:01:50.559
like how how inside of a box how segmented group is people are and the

01:01:48.000 --> 01:01:54.000
way that social circles work. Like it it's funny because I've had a few

01:01:52.240 --> 01:01:58.240
experiences like this lately where um Rampage Dev, the guy that helped us with

01:01:55.680 --> 01:02:02.160
the Hackintosh was like, "Yeah, to create the bootable USB." Um yeah, just

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,

01:02:05.200 --> 01:02:11.960
"I don't know a single person who owns a Mac." And he's like, "What?

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

01:02:17.040 --> 01:02:21.839
not someone I could just be like, "Hey, can I borrow your computer?" I do know

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

01:02:24.240 --> 01:02:30.720
was that and then there was going to high school reunion a little while ago

01:02:28.480 --> 01:02:35.040
where the tweets that I got from people were hilarious because they were like,

01:02:32.720 --> 01:02:38.559
"Yeah, was everyone like and even my mom was like, "Yeah, is everyone going to be

01:02:36.960 --> 01:02:42.480
like really impressed that you're like an internet celebrity?" And I'm like,

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

01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:51.640
explained what I do, nobody had any idea. Even people in my grade. People

01:02:50.720 --> 01:02:57.520
are like, "You that's a

01:02:54.280 --> 01:02:59.040
job." I'm just like, "Yes, yes it is.

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

01:03:02.079 --> 01:03:07.839
technology, like computers and motherboards and stuff." And I could

01:03:05.440 --> 01:03:15.200
just I could I could actually hear I could hear the switch in their brains

01:03:11.160 --> 01:03:16.160
going as they turned off. Whenever I do

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

01:03:19.039 --> 01:03:23.839
kind of stuff." And then I'm like, "Oh, right. Uh, consumer electronics."

01:03:22.640 --> 01:03:30.400
They're always like, "Oh, yeah." I'm like, "Yeah, there we go."

01:03:26.880 --> 01:03:34.720
Oh, you mean like iPhones? Yeah. Well,

01:03:30.400 --> 01:03:36.960
sometimes it beats. No. No. No. No, not

01:03:34.720 --> 01:03:40.240
that second part. Not beats. Unless we're talking about how Apple bought

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

01:03:42.960 --> 01:03:50.480
right after we do our sponsor segments here. So, actually like the most

01:03:47.680 --> 01:03:53.960
exciting sponsor spots ever on the first time that we've talked about this. This

01:03:51.680 --> 01:04:00.079
is the first time we have talked about Highlander, the collaborative project

01:03:56.960 --> 01:04:02.480
powered by ROG Notebooks. There's going

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

01:04:04.240 --> 01:04:10.640
there because he can't handle this mountain. Watch Jay-Z show up at the top

01:04:09.039 --> 01:04:15.520
of the mountain. I was just gonna say he probably could be like be like, "Yo,

01:04:12.400 --> 01:04:17.119
I beat you to the top."

01:04:15.520 --> 01:04:21.839
And I'll be like, "Wow, can I have an autograph, please? Can you sell my

01:04:18.640 --> 01:04:24.000
laptop? Can you sell my laptop,

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

01:04:27.440 --> 01:04:34.640
meter above sea level mountain top, and we are going to be having the world's

01:04:31.920 --> 01:04:38.880
highest elevation terrestrial land party. It is a collaborative effort with

01:04:36.559 --> 01:04:43.200
Tech Syndicate. Austin Evans is confirmed to be attending, something

01:04:40.480 --> 01:04:46.880
that we had never revealed before. Um, unfortunately, Lou from Unbox Therapy

01:04:45.359 --> 01:04:52.079
can't make it. I was super disappointed. I really wanted him to come. Um although

01:04:49.200 --> 01:04:56.079
but Logan, Luke, I will be there. I believe Kane is coming. Uh it's a

01:04:54.319 --> 01:05:00.160
possibility that we'll have some other pretty cool guys there as well, but it

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

01:05:02.559 --> 01:05:11.680
have a high altitude land party because we can. The whole endeavor couldn't

01:05:07.680 --> 01:05:14.160
happen without ASUS, Corsair, and Intel.

01:05:11.680 --> 01:05:20.000
So, a huge thanks to ASUS, Corsair, and Intel for making that possible. Speaking

01:05:18.000 --> 01:05:24.720
of things that are made possible by our generous sponsors, our coverage of E3 is

01:05:22.319 --> 01:05:31.039
going to be brought to you by the HyperX Fury SSD lineup. So, these are value

01:05:27.920 --> 01:05:33.359
SSDs. And as SSDs go up in performance

01:05:31.039 --> 01:05:37.039
and down in price, um the high performance ones are making less and

01:05:34.880 --> 01:05:40.960
less sense every day, and the good bang for the buck ones are making more and

01:05:38.559 --> 01:05:45.440
more sense every day. So, huge shout out to Kingston, HyperX, HyperX, HyperX

01:05:43.520 --> 01:05:49.599
specifically. That's very important. Huge shout out to HyperX for making this

01:05:47.440 --> 01:05:54.799
possible. Also powering our trip there is going to be Corsair's allnew RGB

01:05:52.240 --> 01:05:58.799
mechanical keyboard which we are extremely excited about checking out.

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

01:06:00.000 --> 01:06:05.680
when you go on the trip unfortunately yet. I would have death just put it on

01:06:03.599 --> 01:06:11.200
top and you know that. I know you would. And then finally, our last sponsor is

01:06:08.440 --> 01:06:15.839
NCIX, your source for great technology selection and service, also known as

01:06:14.000 --> 01:06:19.920
They're My Bros. You should buy your computer stuff there because they're my

01:06:17.520 --> 01:06:24.000
bros. I worked there for 5 years. I still work with them very, very closely.

01:06:21.839 --> 01:06:28.880
I love those guys. They're great guys. You know, the thing about NCIX is they

01:06:26.319 --> 01:06:33.440
don't always do everything perfect, but it's great technology selection and

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

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

01:06:40.000 --> 01:06:45.839
matter what it is. And that's something that you can't say about every company.

01:06:43.359 --> 01:06:49.760
So, having been on the inside there, I know how things work and I know that

01:06:47.520 --> 01:06:53.520
they really do care. So, there you go. That's my endorsement of NCIX. Someone

01:06:52.079 --> 01:06:57.079
suggested that we get Lauren to go on the climb with us.

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

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

01:07:06.480 --> 01:07:14.480
have a feeling our videos would get many more views. I have a feeling that that

01:07:12.000 --> 01:07:18.880
is a stereotype. Okay. That gamers think women are

01:07:17.039 --> 01:07:23.359
attractive and watch videos with them in. This is This is actually This is

01:07:21.440 --> 01:07:26.799
unrelated to Tasty PC. This is related to what you just said about watching

01:07:24.640 --> 01:07:30.880
videos with women in them. Have you not seen the like browser streamers on

01:07:28.559 --> 01:07:35.680
Twitch? Like, are you are you kidding me right

01:07:32.640 --> 01:07:38.880
now? You can't even make that argument.

01:07:35.680 --> 01:07:43.760
I didn't say that it was invalid. What I

01:07:38.880 --> 01:07:47.400
said was a stereotype. I didn't say no.

01:07:43.760 --> 01:07:47.400
You never say no.

01:07:49.680 --> 01:07:59.240
Oh my god. Speaking of saying no, all the no in the world to this. Apple

01:07:55.520 --> 01:08:03.680
defines a spec for lightning connector

01:07:59.240 --> 01:08:08.160
headphones with 48 kohertz output. Apple

01:08:03.680 --> 01:08:11.599
piss off. We do not need we do not need

01:08:08.160 --> 01:08:13.760
headphones with proprietary connectors.

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

01:08:15.839 --> 01:08:21.880
devices with analog outputs, I will

01:08:19.040 --> 01:08:27.600
well, I don't buy any anyway, but I will definitely continue not buying them

01:08:24.960 --> 01:08:34.400
because that's absolutely horrible. And to and to get caught up in some kind of

01:08:31.040 --> 01:08:37.040
a in some kind of a like race to who can

01:08:34.400 --> 01:08:42.799
have the highest sample rate on their files is a journey to nowhere because it

01:08:40.640 --> 01:08:48.480
doesn't actually matter past a certain point. Also, there is there is no

01:08:45.440 --> 01:08:51.199
there's no reason why you can't have an

01:08:48.480 --> 01:08:55.520
excellent DAC and an analog connection to the speakers that sit inside your

01:08:53.120 --> 01:09:00.880
ears because effectively that's all that you're doing anyway. A digital headphone

01:08:58.560 --> 01:09:05.520
is just one that has the DAC on the other side of the cable instead of

01:09:02.480 --> 01:09:07.199
having the DAC here and then over there.

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

01:09:09.839 --> 01:09:17.359
a a speaker is an inherently analog thing. There is no benefit to this other

01:09:14.880 --> 01:09:22.799
than that we are going to be stuck with headphones that only work with iPhones

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

01:09:24.880 --> 01:09:31.920
off then we'd be stuck with iPhones that only work with stupid lightning

01:09:29.600 --> 01:09:36.319
headphones most of which will be fashion trash I'm sure. Well Beats there'll be

01:09:33.759 --> 01:09:39.759
Beats. Well I'm sure someone else they bought them will participate in the made

01:09:37.920 --> 01:09:43.839
for iPhone. I think they're making sure that there will be a range of products

01:09:42.080 --> 01:09:47.679
on launch for this. Picture this future and I'm about to make your brain melt.

01:09:45.679 --> 01:09:52.279
Okay. Well, this already did. You look at the kinds of like real companies like

01:09:50.080 --> 01:09:57.040
serious companies that really care like Sennheiser that participate in the made

01:09:54.800 --> 01:10:00.880
for iPhone program like the Momentum headphones for example. Why is

01:09:59.040 --> 01:10:05.760
Sennheiser targeting iPhone users with these? Because iPhone users will pay

01:10:03.199 --> 01:10:09.520
more. Yeah. Okay. Sennheiser happened to make legitimately good headphones that

01:10:07.920 --> 01:10:12.880
are made for iPhone, but it means that the inline controls don't work on

01:10:11.120 --> 01:10:17.440
Android because they're made for iPhone. Now, imagine this. Imagine Sennheiser is

01:10:15.120 --> 01:10:21.920
put in a position where they have to decide, are they making their next pair

01:10:19.760 --> 01:10:25.120
of great sounding but still fashionable headphones with a lightning connector or

01:10:23.679 --> 01:10:30.239
a three and a halfm connector? Could this become a breakaway?

01:10:28.400 --> 01:10:34.320
I don't know. Maybe cuz that would make sense. But that's totally inelegant and

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

01:10:36.080 --> 01:10:41.600
could be breakaway and it doesn't have to be breakaway like okay well Apple's

01:10:40.000 --> 01:10:45.679
already said there will be adapters so yes you can adapt your lightning to make

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

01:10:48.400 --> 01:10:54.960
could be breakaway like it is on that though

01:10:51.920 --> 01:10:56.640
but again these I mean these are $300 IM

01:10:54.960 --> 01:10:59.840
not everything has that feature that's an uncommon feature no I know but I'm

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

01:11:02.719 --> 01:11:08.239
resort to completely agree. Okay. Well,

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

01:11:10.880 --> 01:11:16.159
us playing devil's advocate, because I'm obviously very upset right now, we

01:11:14.719 --> 01:11:20.280
should we should have a moment of silence instead. Okay.

01:11:26.880 --> 01:11:35.199
Okay. Okay. Because I what I was really hoping for with this Beats acquisition

01:11:31.960 --> 01:11:37.120
was Beats headphones that looked good

01:11:35.199 --> 01:11:41.679
and sounded good and were built better. Yeah, that's what I wanted out of this.

01:11:39.040 --> 01:11:45.440
This is my worst nightmare. Yeah, this is the worst thing that could have

01:11:42.960 --> 01:11:49.440
possibly come out of that acquisition. Well,

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.

01:11:52.239 --> 01:12:02.280
It's very terrible and stupid. Yeah. And I need that to not happen. Yeah. All

01:11:58.360 --> 01:12:04.960
right. The specification could

01:12:02.280 --> 01:12:07.840
h anyway, none of that's confirmed like Apple doing away with three and a half

01:12:06.400 --> 01:12:11.840
millimeter connectors entirely. Like none of those are all conclusions that

01:12:09.520 --> 01:12:16.560
were made up. I mean, there are ways that the tech could be cool. For

01:12:14.000 --> 01:12:20.400
example, if you had headphones, some something that is easier to have a large

01:12:18.320 --> 01:12:23.840
battery in and every time you plugged your headphones into your iPhone, it

01:12:22.000 --> 01:12:28.000
could charge them or something like that. like there is room for this to be

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

01:12:31.679 --> 01:12:40.080
positive possibility as the last thing that we say on the

01:12:35.239 --> 01:12:42.560
subject. All right. No Microsoft start

01:12:40.080 --> 01:12:49.280
menu on Windows 8 until 2015. This was posted by NSF NS NFS undergrounded

01:12:47.360 --> 01:12:52.960
underground and the original article is from Bit.

01:12:51.040 --> 01:12:56.640
Maybe he's trying to recreate the sound of when your your engine is kind of

01:12:54.960 --> 01:13:03.080
tripping out when you're just revving when you're at the start of the

01:12:58.199 --> 01:13:03.080
line. So it's Ne for Speed Underground.

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

01:13:10.159 --> 01:13:17.440
be coming instead possibly with a next update to Windows 8 or Windows 9

01:13:15.600 --> 01:13:23.920
depending on how Microsoft decides to roll things out. So, this is their new

01:13:19.679 --> 01:13:25.920
mini modern UI start menu. Personally, I

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

01:13:28.239 --> 01:13:37.600
operating system onto my system anyway. Yeah. Um, but great. So, I guess there's

01:13:34.480 --> 01:13:40.480
that. Our next topic is the ASUS

01:13:37.600 --> 01:13:47.480
Sabbranco. Sabbranco. Anyway, whatever. It's a it's a top series motherboard

01:13:42.719 --> 01:13:50.640
with a white PCB. Now, this is an

01:13:47.480 --> 01:13:52.719
opportunity for me. Oh, they already got

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

01:13:54.880 --> 01:14:01.600
here. This was originally posted by uh

01:13:58.440 --> 01:14:03.280
Tit. So, I wanted to uh cuz ASUS

01:14:01.600 --> 01:14:08.480
basically said, "Look, if you want to see more white PCB motherboards to match

01:14:05.840 --> 01:14:12.719
your sexy white PCB hardware, we need 500 retweets of this tweet." And they

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

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

01:14:18.800 --> 01:14:24.159
like, "Whoa, where did that come from?" And we'll be like flexing our internet

01:14:22.480 --> 01:14:29.679
muscles. Stop making golden motherboards. It's cuz they're

01:14:26.360 --> 01:14:31.360
dumb. Like, yeah, we don't even care

01:14:29.679 --> 01:14:35.360
about white motherboards. No, not at all. We just don't want gold

01:14:32.880 --> 01:14:40.800
motherboards. Yeah. So, screw you in your stupid retweets. So, guys, there

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

01:14:43.920 --> 01:14:48.320
double the number of retweets they have on there right now. Do that retweet

01:14:46.960 --> 01:14:52.960
thing where you retweet and say something at the same time and just say

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

01:14:55.199 --> 01:15:01.840
post. Come on. Come on. Come on, brothers. You got to help me out

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

01:15:03.360 --> 01:15:09.679
this. Help me out. We got to make this thing

01:15:06.760 --> 01:15:14.640
happen. All right. Someone says it's already at 609. I know, but I still I

01:15:12.239 --> 01:15:18.880
still want to I still want to utilize our internet mightiness to And we're

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

01:15:22.760 --> 01:15:29.159
is white is not necessarily Supreme, but

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

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

01:15:37.840 --> 01:15:44.960
got people saying silver is okay. Yes. Silver's totally cool. Silver's totally

01:15:42.040 --> 01:15:49.199
cool. You know, black's cool. Blue's cool. Red's

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

01:15:51.040 --> 01:15:57.760
well. Yes. And the Empire did it really well. Yellow. Yellow's cool. You just

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.

01:15:59.600 --> 01:16:05.280
Apparently, it's over a hundred. It's over a thousand already. I love you

01:16:02.880 --> 01:16:09.360
guys. You guys are awesome. Yes, it totally is. You guys are awesome. and

01:16:07.040 --> 01:16:15.440
you made my eene grow at least 3 in today. So, I appreciate that. We have

01:16:12.560 --> 01:16:18.080
some good Microsoft news. Actually, I have a prop for this one. Do you want to

01:16:17.040 --> 01:16:22.880
do you want to cover this in the meantime? Sure. There's not much to say.

01:16:20.239 --> 01:16:27.320
Um, Microsoft announced that they were going to be Whoa, some cables got

01:16:25.120 --> 01:16:31.600
unplugged. Uh, Microsoft announced we're failing.

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

01:16:34.480 --> 01:16:41.040
in November and it's finally coming or is here already. They're now available

01:16:39.280 --> 01:16:44.400
for download. So yeah, and you can connect it to your computer simply with

01:16:42.320 --> 01:16:49.760
a micro USB cable. So this was posted on the forum by Demakiller 37, although I

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

01:16:51.520 --> 01:16:59.440
thread there to where you can get the drivers for both x86 and x64 versions of

01:16:56.400 --> 01:17:00.960
Windows. But get this, Microsoft is

01:16:59.440 --> 01:17:04.239
releasing the drivers today at its download site, but the company is also

01:17:03.120 --> 01:17:08.280
planning to distribute them through Windows Update in the near

01:17:06.440 --> 01:17:13.120
future. Microsoft, what are you doing? What do

01:17:11.679 --> 01:17:16.719
you mean? Why aren't they in Windows Update already? Oh, yeah. Okay. I

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

01:17:23.440 --> 01:17:28.400
in Windows update? Yeah. No, I completely agree. I thought I thought I

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

01:17:31.920 --> 01:17:37.840
Windows update? Yeah, if it's Wickle

01:17:35.280 --> 01:17:44.320
certified, why is it not in Windows update? Why isn't that part of the

01:17:40.000 --> 01:17:46.159
procedure? Why do I have to dank around

01:17:44.320 --> 01:17:50.480
drivers still? I totally thought you were on the other side of this and

01:17:48.320 --> 01:17:55.520
you're not at all. And that's fantastic. Like Timmy, if you're watching, maybe

01:17:53.360 --> 01:18:02.159
you can give me an explanation that makes sense, but I doubt it. Why are

01:17:59.520 --> 01:18:05.520
drivers not in Windows update? Why do I have to think about this? Why is it

01:18:03.679 --> 01:18:08.480
easier to plug and play a Linux installation and have it automatically

01:18:07.040 --> 01:18:13.440
work with network drivers than it is a Windows one? That should never be a

01:18:10.560 --> 01:18:17.600
thing. Ever. Never be a thing. Fail. Every laptop that I've ever tried to

01:18:14.880 --> 01:18:20.159
install Linux on, perfect. and network drive. That's all I need is network

01:18:18.880 --> 01:18:23.360
drivers because then I can move from there. That's fine. And then every

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

01:18:26.320 --> 01:18:32.000
laptop, especially if it's not the Windows that it came with. Horrible.

01:18:30.480 --> 01:18:35.520
Almost never get network drivers, have to go hunt them down. It's annoying. And

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

01:18:38.000 --> 01:18:44.239
update. A lot of the time it's like, "Oh, okay. I better go into device

01:18:41.679 --> 01:18:49.440
manager and like find the vendor ID and like PCI ID string and go Google that

01:18:46.880 --> 01:18:54.480
and find some post on like driverh helper full of viruses.com."

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

01:18:55.920 --> 01:19:02.800
this, if anyone from Adapt is watching, you guys turn your download servers on

01:19:00.880 --> 01:19:06.640
after business hours from now on. That's super stupid. That's like the stupidest

01:19:04.640 --> 01:19:11.880
thing I've ever seen. They turn their download servers for their drivers off

01:19:09.280 --> 01:19:17.360
outside of like business hours. Leg legit. Legitimately, guys, go

01:19:14.560 --> 01:19:20.880
check. Like I've been diagnosing like a RAID card in the middle of the night

01:19:19.120 --> 01:19:25.840
because that's the only time when you diagnose RA, you can take down your

01:19:22.960 --> 01:19:28.719
server. Yeah. Yeah. And like their download server is just off. Honestly

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

01:19:32.080 --> 01:19:38.000
mad. Like so mad. Ridiculous. People are like, "Why is he mad today?" Because

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

01:19:42.080 --> 01:19:47.520
cool and terrifying. Yeah. Um, so gun company figures out how to shoot around

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

01:19:52.159 --> 01:19:59.360
Google Glass as a site. It also compensates for human error, compensates

01:19:57.040 --> 01:20:03.920
for conditions. It does all kinds of neat neo keen stuff. There's a short

01:20:02.000 --> 01:20:08.679
video. It's about a minute long. uh tracking point Labs. You know, part of

01:20:06.080 --> 01:20:15.280
me is kind of like, do we really really need more

01:20:12.640 --> 01:20:18.560
efficient ways to like put bullets in each other? One thing that scares me is

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

01:20:21.840 --> 01:20:27.440
between um civilian uprising potential

01:20:25.280 --> 01:20:31.040
and government. Oh, absolutely. I mean, it's already there. You can already

01:20:28.880 --> 01:20:35.040
night vision goggles are already the end of gorilla. You know, that's actually

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

01:20:38.560 --> 01:20:46.159
uh police killer. Yeah. Were they not? It took them took them

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

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

01:20:51.520 --> 01:20:56.640
I just wouldn't Did they have military deployed on that? They did have military

01:20:54.719 --> 01:20:59.600
deployed. Uh I mean they eventually did find him in the woods unarmed. They've

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

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

01:21:05.040 --> 01:21:11.199
uh and wounded two others. One of them very seriously wounded. Yeah. Um I just

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

01:21:14.080 --> 01:21:20.239
because these people don't deserve any attention. So, we're going to Yes. Uh

01:21:18.239 --> 01:21:24.640
Dragon V2. Speaking of people who do deserve attention. Super cool. And

01:21:22.640 --> 01:21:29.280
freaking Elon Musk is just the coolest person on the planet. So guys, oh my

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

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

01:21:35.679 --> 01:21:42.320
is the the new capsule can hold seven astronauts. Uh it has propulsion based

01:21:40.159 --> 01:21:45.040
landing, so it can land on a landing pad. It can land pretty much anywhere,

01:21:43.679 --> 01:21:50.080
but someone says you can't thermal through trees. So there you go. That's

01:21:47.040 --> 01:21:51.360
interesting. Um you can land pretty much

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

01:21:54.880 --> 01:22:01.760
shielding and stuff on the bottom is much more resistant and can be easily

01:21:59.280 --> 01:22:06.639
reused. So if it can land on a landing pad and just have all the propellant

01:22:03.760 --> 01:22:12.719
refilled be used very quickly. Ice Fox says Elon greater than Gabe N.

01:22:10.480 --> 01:22:16.719
Uh let's just let's just calm down. Okay. Everyone just needs to relax. Go

01:22:15.199 --> 01:22:21.600
ahead about Elon being greater than Gabe.

01:22:18.400 --> 01:22:23.280
Everyone just needs to relax.

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

01:22:25.520 --> 01:22:30.880
and stop being tense? Thank you.

01:22:29.760 --> 01:22:35.280
We're Look, we're looking at different castles here. Different castles. I like

01:22:33.199 --> 01:22:38.080
that. They're not They're both the king of their own castles. All right. Sorry.

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

01:22:41.840 --> 01:22:49.040
astronauts. Um it's very reusable. Definitely reusable and it can land

01:22:47.280 --> 01:22:51.920
pretty much anywhere very easily. It it uses propulsion based landing like I

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

01:22:54.800 --> 01:23:02.400
down into the water, it it slows itself down as it's falling through I think

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

01:23:04.239 --> 01:23:10.639
like these kind of spring-loaded not really spring-loaded but these feet that

01:23:07.920 --> 01:23:12.760
can compress. Not spring-loaded at all um but feet that can compress. So it

01:23:12.000 --> 01:23:17.840
just kind very very cool. All right, we got a

01:23:15.199 --> 01:23:25.520
straw pole. And the inside of this space shuttle is amazing. Have you seen it?

01:23:21.719 --> 01:23:27.280
Uh, no. Okay, you can talk about it

01:23:25.520 --> 01:23:30.639
though. It's It's kind of hard to describe. Once you're done spamming

01:23:28.880 --> 01:23:34.960
there, I can try to jump you forward in the video, but essentially you you walk

01:23:32.960 --> 01:23:38.159
in, it looks like super super clean and super futuristic, unlike a lot of space

01:23:36.719 --> 01:23:42.800
shuttles that you see that look like mega ghetto and kind of disgusting. And

01:23:40.800 --> 01:23:48.880
then he sits down in this baller looking chair and swings down this super badass

01:23:45.440 --> 01:23:50.320
monitor setup. It's so cool. Um yeah,

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.

01:23:53.679 --> 01:23:59.120
So once he gets in there, sweet. So very

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

01:24:00.400 --> 01:24:05.360
actually look comfortable instead of the terrible things I before. And then Yeah.

01:24:03.520 --> 01:24:08.960
Okay. Go a little bit back because you got to see him swing down the monitor

01:24:06.800 --> 01:24:12.760
setup. You can see it's up right now. He'll pull it down.

01:24:11.679 --> 01:24:20.159
So badass. Swoop. And then if you can actually see

01:24:17.040 --> 01:24:22.080
the control panels, like it actually

01:24:20.159 --> 01:24:27.440
looks like futuristic and badass. I know that doesn't really matter, but like it

01:24:24.080 --> 01:24:29.679
looks really cool. There you can see all

01:24:27.440 --> 01:24:33.120
their monitoring panels and like all the stuff in the middle. He's got uh

01:24:31.199 --> 01:24:36.239
spaceship control is that like joysticky thing kind of in the middle. And then

01:24:34.400 --> 01:24:39.760
most of those manual buttons are all emergency things, so you don't have to

01:24:38.320 --> 01:24:43.520
use the other displays and stuff. They're all emergency stuff. And yeah, I

01:24:42.239 --> 01:24:46.520
don't know. I thought this was super cool.

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

01:24:51.679 --> 01:24:57.280
inside. Yeah, that is awesome. That's pretty freaking cool. How's that straw

01:24:55.600 --> 01:25:02.040
pole doing? All right, let's check out that straw pole. Castles.

01:25:00.880 --> 01:25:05.040
Okay, castles.

01:25:06.280 --> 01:25:12.239
castles. So, we've got 42% of the votes

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.

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

01:25:20.639 --> 01:25:28.080
contributions to humanity as a whole are probably more more impactful than Gabe

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

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

01:25:36.159 --> 01:25:43.120
not necessarily lower and gayen did more than just gaming digital digital content

01:25:40.760 --> 01:25:47.920
distribution he was a pioneer yeah and he's pushed forward for those like

01:25:44.480 --> 01:25:51.360
racing that racing thing I don't know

01:25:47.920 --> 01:25:53.440
anyway it's not really uh I I I vote for

01:25:51.360 --> 01:25:58.560
castles you vote for castles you go vote for castles then one vote doesn't matter

01:25:56.320 --> 01:26:03.280
loser. It does. Actually, every vote counts. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to go find

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

01:26:06.880 --> 01:26:11.920
don't know where it is. I give up. You

01:26:10.000 --> 01:26:17.280
can find things to vote for on your own time. Yeah, pretty much. More

01:26:14.560 --> 01:26:22.880
thingyamajiggers. Um, yeah. I fired up the Star Citizen. Uh, what's up? Oh,

01:26:20.880 --> 01:26:28.679
yeah. Right. We actually have something really cool for you guys. So, I need you

01:26:25.760 --> 01:26:35.199
to use # Linusmassdrop, all one word, #

01:26:31.800 --> 01:26:36.719
Linusmastdrop, and send in your requests

01:26:35.199 --> 01:26:42.080
for what you would like to see a Massdrop deal on. We are working with

01:26:39.120 --> 01:26:48.239
Massdrop to basically find one thing that our community really wants to see

01:26:44.560 --> 01:26:50.719
and bring it to you guys. That's it.

01:26:48.239 --> 01:26:53.440
It's simple. So, everyone, take just a minute of your time, think of something

01:26:52.239 --> 01:26:57.679
that you think is really cool. hopefully, you know, electronics or

01:26:55.760 --> 01:27:03.440
computer stuff or something. Um, and then just use #

01:27:00.360 --> 01:27:05.920
Linusmassdrop and uh tweet that out and

01:27:03.440 --> 01:27:10.080
we will have someone, preferably a lackey and not me, go through them all

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

01:27:11.679 --> 01:27:16.719
from there that we think is really cool and we think would be a great Massdrop

01:27:14.800 --> 01:27:20.719
item and we are going to be bringing that to you guys through the Massdrop

01:27:18.320 --> 01:27:23.600
team. So, be excited about that because it's going to be really, really sweet.

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

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

01:27:31.520 --> 01:27:37.600
adapter so I can use my old Top Gun joystick, but I also have a Scitec

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

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.

01:27:44.560 --> 01:27:50.960
Oh, well. Solar freaking roadways. We're not doing a mass drop for solar

01:27:48.480 --> 01:27:53.679
roadways, especially because they don't work.

01:27:55.040 --> 01:28:02.480
Sorry to spoil that one. Very cool concept though. Yeah,

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

01:28:04.000 --> 01:28:12.880
to leverage Mike the sun a little better. Someone says butt plugs. I don't

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.

01:28:16.480 --> 01:28:22.639
It's ludicrous. Rog Jay-Z. We're never going to be free of

01:28:20.400 --> 01:28:26.400
that, are we? No, no, we're just stuck with it forever. Okay, speaking of

01:28:24.960 --> 01:28:30.239
things we're stuck with forever, we'll be back next week. Thank you guys very

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

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

01:28:35.520 --> 01:28:39.199
any more awkward than it already is.

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

01:28:45.120 --> 01:28:51.199
to something to do with this here. Yeah,

01:28:49.840 --> 01:28:56.340
that thing. Good work, Luke. Wait, that wasn't my

01:28:53.040 --> 01:28:59.439
fault at all. Yeah, whatever.

01:29:00.560 --> 01:29:03.679
Highlander, it's going to be

01:29:03.960 --> 01:29:09.760
awesome. E3 also going to be awesome.

01:29:07.280 --> 01:29:14.040
Yeah. Or terrible. We're not sure. Yeah. We've never done it before. Nope.
