keeping the twitch chat primed it is when show time and we have a great show
for you guys today did you roast me at all because that's usually what i do with you when you're when you're late no
i'm a nice person actually instead i was talking about how exciting it is
that this is the last WAN Show
that will be exclusive to twitch tv
i saw that coming yes yeah so uh i don't
know if you saw but we streamed on the youtube channel
we had 25 000 concurrents i was there
when you hit it watching me talk about iomu groups and virtualization
imagine if we were doing something that people cared about
imagine yeah is my imagination facebook well one of the big things one of the
like huge problems um and
uh i i can't say necessarily like what we talked about but when i was down at
twitch a while ago we talked about like a side discussion of discoverability
and search ability and stuff on twitch is horrible yep
finding what you want on twitch is actually terrible in the last
it's got four years in the last four years Linus media group has like tripled
in terms of its youtube viewership oh yeah in terms of just every aspect of
the business pretty much has probably tripled in the last four years
except twitch viewership which is half of what it was then yeah and it's like
either and remember too i'm talking WAN Show
archive as well yeah and like when when
he's talking about how it's gone like almost in the
same magnitude opposite direction when we were hosting the windshield when we
first got in this building yeah and it was in what we called the library yes we
were consistently hitting 10k yeah
so either it's us which it doesn't seem to be because literally every other
platform streaming or vod is going in
the complete opposite direction yeah or it's something about twitch and the type
of content i mean we used to be the only non-gaming content on the site which might have
made us stand out more like there weren't any podcasts and i used to like
that we were on there they used to care because we were pretty much the only
version of that so that would promote us yeah and on twitch to to be relevant you
basically have to be streaming a lot every day because the discoverability is
terrible but there was something else too now i know it's not ready yet don't freak out but
because we're going to be simulcast streaming yeah we might as well stream
on Floatplane and wait hold on i have a cool idea i
have no issue with it i'm going to have to check with my my fp peeps in the chat
here but what if we absolutely
cranked like went absolutely bat crap
crazy on the bit rate i think uh i think uh last new group's gonna have to you
know pony up for that oh yeah oh yeah is that what you think no because we're we're helping you betta test okay yeah
okay that's right but hold on a second because even if our real-time transcode
isn't working yet because we'll be simultaneously streaming Floatplane
pilots so i was thinking the chat that we focus on is the Floatplane chat
so if people want to chat on WAN Show basically you can think of it kind of
like twitch prime except you just actually pay Linus media group instead
of paying twitch a bunch of money also Floatplane media is going to take
some of it too but that's fine they're cool guys i'm expecting aj yell at me
pretty soon but but get this if people if people
can't handle like a 30 megabit stream like something absolutely nuts like we
go crazy on it yeah if they can't handle it they just watch the video on twitch
or youtube yeah whatever and they just use their Floatplane chat
yeah then they still get the benefit of the Floatplane membership
and we can experiment with different kinds of streaming qualities and and
stuff like that i don't know i've done i've done it's pretty cool right i've done a bunch of streams on Floatplane
the quality and the the delay and everything is all really good so like i'm i'm sure it would 4k stream
i haven't done that i have not i have not done that um okay
so one one thing to bring up here a little interesting to bring it up yes
live on the thing but yeah we're not we haven't done it yet yeah we haven't we
haven't had our Floatplane lunch this week actually or last night not even
that yeah no i know so like we've got we've got lots of we got lots of updates
because i got something really good for you as soon as you're done okay so go ahead you go this isn't actually about
Floatplane this is um yeah well sort of if you wanted to
yeah if you wanted to stream on full-time
or or youtube if you want to stream on either of those right now i think you'd
be breaking the contract with twitch because you have a sub button yeah i
know they can kick us out so you have to yeah i would just be aware of that yeah
yeah that's fine i think we get like a couple hundred dollars a month or
something like that like yeah it's not gonna matter it's it's not gonna make or break
our twitch subscribers of course but yeah compared to if you support us on
float please it's really not that helpful so
literally Linus media group will make more money out of that
and then floor plan media gets supported too which is great yeah then luke might
be able to afford a razor yeah
okay get this so it's a rough week um you know how a Floatplane needs like
baller network connections and stuff for some of the things it does yeah i might
be able to give Floatplane access to uh you know vanix
vancouver internet exchange yes yeah yeah yeah so um
Linus media group might be upgrading its connection
what to a dedicated wavelength
whoa directive annex
how did you even wrangle that
okay wouldn't that mean that you basically have to be your own
so we're we're working with it's a small time our isp
although they've grown a lot since we first started working so it's through them
they're pretty cool guys um cause i was like you have to be your
own isp i've got i've got the cto's
phone number a cell phone number like he replies to my emails at like two
in the morning he's a super cool guy yeah yeah yeah freaking awesome um
so i'm not gonna i'm not gonna like yeah i'm not gonna not gonna say too much but
like our isp dope guys uh local guys um i tell i
don't you've probably never heard of them no but um
they're cool guys and anyway so so it's going to be a dedicated 10 gigabit per
second wavelength straight to vanix no switches
and then we're we're actually i couldn't afford the entire 10 gigabit per second
of like internet access okay uh so it's gonna be 5.5 slum in it
5.5 gig okay what's the i don't want to know the
exact dollar value what's the like differential i'll tell you i'll tell you after hold on but but but what's cool is
that we're going to have because they're bros
and because it doesn't cost them more because they're already in bannix
anyone else in vanix we're going to have 10 gig too
so it's 5 gig 5.5 off thenx but then it's 10 gig to
aws uh google um akamai
uh like basically 10 gig to anyone that matters
you can go check it's got a list of everyone that's on there so anyway uh
you guys could definitely have some rackspace and uh i'm sure we could find a way to
make that that extra you know five gigabit or whatever somewhat beneficial
ovh is on phoenix so so we could that's pretty great
so we could we could try and we could try and offset your you know extra
streaming cost or whatever try and help try and help your brother out there yeah
yeah yeah um so anyway anyway so that's that's my cool news okay so it's it's
costing um 30 more than our one gig
switched fiber connection which was already really expensive but
now the new price that doesn't actually sound that bad it's not that bad yeah
plus over the three years we owe them one video which is fine because like who
cares sounds like they're probably gonna end up getting one anyway and uh and
honestly they would have probably gotten uh hopefully they're not watching uh
they probably would have gotten one anyway because the whole bonded internet thing
that we did that was like a commercial product that they had before um they
have they acquired the company that did the software for the bonding um rewrote
it so it's multi-threaded now so you don't need such an expensive appliance
to do it and they wanna oh i wonder if this is confidential well whatever
they're gonna have they're gonna have better products and
services oh crap i hope i just didn't get in a lot of trouble
uh well whatever they're cool guys uh why don't we just say that and with cool
stuff so we probably already made a video anyway um we got a lot of great topics for you
guys today uh rtx
yeah everybody talked about it we haven't yet really ninth gen Intel chips
yeah this is cool steam compatibility tools so you can play more games on on
Linux and uh 10 series gtx cards are on
sale also this intro you can watch it now
you know how much would people pay to see them
like Linus versus austin cage fighting oh my god
dude and like works out a lot i thought you
know oh i mean i'm so interested right now
the the difference but austin's such a nice person i don't know i don't think
he'd want to do it he's actually just so nice
he's like a really good guy i don't know i'm so interested though because he's
ridiculously fit and works out all the time he's super fit um but i don't i
don't think he's like actually trained for fighting though yeah but and you are
that would be a pretty distinct advantage it would like i actually at
our weight class i really don't think him being more fit is going to be very helpful but
it's an interesting thank you uh it's still an interesting
comparison if you know what i mean um yeah i guess
a benchmark okay yeah yeah yeah yeah pretty much
just to be clear guys
lioness and austin are not boxing
that that well that is not a thing we're doing uh although if he was down
like not like not like mma no
whoops we don't swear on the way not like mma like freaking bare knuckle or
anything like that but like but the box boxing could be interesting especially
because i've never boxed before okay
so but like i know you know pretty much most the basics i know how to punch i
know how to dodge i know how to block like i could probably put two and two
together especially against another amateur but uh
tell you what tell you what if austin's down i'll box austin there you go god i
can't even believe that just happened uh so for the context that people are
wondering logan paul and ksi are fighting tomorrow i think i think it's
tomorrow is that real what really that's like a thing yeah it's
ridiculous yeah i've been training for a while some some
external dude did a video on
uh how hard they're punching so i watched that because it wouldn't give
either them views um and i'll tell you this ksi has way
better form and clearly knows what he's doing a lot better than logan but then
logan is a mountain so we'll see
logan has much longer reached is this actually as much like a pay-per-view
thing or is this a pay-per-view on youtube
yeah yeah it's kind of interesting though people
are going to hate watch it the people are going to watch the
so that they see each of them or one of them individually
get hit in the face that's like absolutely that is the entire show see
that's what i think i think your if oh my goodness i don't think that's going
to be a thing um but if you and austin are a thing no
that's not going to be a thing i don't think that's true there's no way and i'm i am joking but it does it
wouldn't have the allure of the like the hateful no it would be a friendly yeah
it would be clearly a friendly bow and i can't think i'm sure there's some but i
can't think of anyone who actively wants to see you guys hit in the face i don't
think i could punch austin it's too nice
like really i would not want to you know i've actually i've actually uh i
shouldn't say never it's complicated but
i don't really i don't really count the only time that i've ever fought with
someone like i i've never really been in a fight
no no i i'm i'm of i'm a pretty i'm a pretty
passive like turn the other cheek kind of most
real ones don't last very long right when you don't have gloves and
like a helmet thingy i guess that's true they like really
someone gets hit a couple times they're like wow this isn't
nice i usually want to stop you know what's really crazy um the the guy so we
have a video coming soon uh once again i hope i'm not revealing too much well my
hair is just like spectacularly bad good cool no good yeah you know what we're
just we're going to embrace it i'm just going to have like
gamer hair today um so we have a sponsored video coming
up on deepspar have you ever heard of deepspar uh yeah but i don't know a time about it
but i've heard of it so deepspar is a data recovery company that is not like
you send your hard drive there and they recover your data they actually build
tools for data recovery companies um anyway so they sponsored a video
we're gonna have that coming out pretty soon it's on Floatplane already and um
the guy the the the son of the ceo who also
accessed like kind of an operations manager like he's an executive there
okay we're going to lunch and i'm like so like what are your hobbies and he's
like oh like uh bare knuckle mma fighting
and i'm like really okay and he's like oh yeah love
it and i'm like so basically you're in fight club and he's like pretty much and
he starts to like pull back some of his clothes
and he starts showing me like some of the bruises that are on him like right
now meanwhile the guy is like dressed in business casual because he's like at
work and i'm just i'm looking at this going
like i don't think i'm gonna put a toe out of line and i think we better
deliver a really good video for these guys he's like explaining to me how he has no
feeling left in his shins yeah no that well that's a goal you want that yeah
yeah yeah yeah he's like yeah like here here like i just like i don't even feel
anything he starts like hitting it i'm like stop yeah it's fine i believe he
did that on purpose to get to that point right micro fractures and stuff kind of
ridiculous yeah so so that that's a thing that's
not me i i don't have that killer instinct unfortunately
my left hip your left hip yeah same situation really
yeah because in in football and rugby basically my right side was always my
more accurate and stronger side uh-huh so whenever i would hit people i would
lead on left so every single time i would hit someone
i would throw a little bit more to my left it wasn't really supposed to but my
whole idea was like if it gets a little hurt i can stay in
because everything that matters is on my right side um so yeah my left hip is
like mostly numb i don't really feel anything there huh
that's just a random yeah so if i ever actually did have to fight you for some
reason go for the right probably yeah
generally with like everything my right side is just generally less and then die
so when someone laughed rugby in canada yeah it was uh it was definitely the
worst team i was on i'll give you that much we were not good
i don't necessarily particularly remember ever winning
but we might have there was a pretty like there was a
pretty good rugby rugby program at my high school actually my high school no
there was it was the only thing we had there was some yeah there okay so i have
heard of schools that are like that yeah um and there was like one or two schools
that we went against that were pretty good but it was not like uh
it was not super common right and our school was definitely not good
cool at all um all right so why don't we jump right
into Intel 9th gen chips on pre-order
for pre-order on a dutch site so this was originally posted by tweakers.net it
was posted uh our original article is from tweakers.net
and it was posted by robbie on the forum and if uh if the rumors are going the
way they have been so far it will be said on stage that they're not true and
then immediately after said after they said that they'll be 100
accurate yeah exactly um you know also there's not a whole lot
of useful information here i mean the top the top chip the 9900k is listed 833
euros i really don't think that's very likely
i wouldn't be surprised if we saw a slight price hike over the
8700k but i don't i don't see it going even if it is in that euro range the
products are usually more expensive in euros
anyways um the more interesting part of the rumors is that it seems to be a
confirmation that we're going to see Intel's core i3 i5 i7 thing is about to
get even more confusing because we're going to have a core i7 that doesn't
have hyper threading oh boy yeah so it
looks like three models uh 9600k so
that's a six core six thread we're gonna have a 9700 k that's a core
i7 so that's eight cores eight threads
and then we're gonna have a core i oh no it will be an i9 oh my goodness okay and
then we're gonna have a core i9 on the mainstream platform that is eight thread
eight core 16 threads what are they doing
why are they making this did i miss something or what's up with the plus two
so plus means uh with optane support
oh i've actually been meaning to do a video about that like wtf is core i7 plus yeah it
basically it's a core i7 and also you put optane in your computer okay yeah no
that's like that's that's silly
i mean the thing to put on the plus i understand what they're doing because
you can't really differentiate on CPU performance anymore so you might as well
differentiate on the overall benefits of your platform what's the i don't know
why i'm drawing a blank on this because i think it's super cool and talk about it relatively often but the the like uh
GPU compute thing that people use for video encoding
or the CPU yeah sync that if it was plus
and that meant quick sync yeah that would honestly make more sense to me yeah but then that would be bad for them
yeah because then you'd have core i9 plus on the mainstream platform and no
core i9 plus the other one um speaking of Intel and their gpus we
actually screwed something up when we did our larabee video
actually no i'm not going to move on to that yet because i wanted to talk about
uh core i3 versus i5 versus i7 are we
just skipping this Intel well people keep complaining that we
haven't talked about it so naturally my initial reaction to that is to troll
them by keeping avoiding it yeah yeah um
this this is why Intel you shouldn't make this branding any more confusing
9.5 this is the second most watched
video that Linus media group has ever made
what the heck is core i3 i5 or i7 at 9.5
million views melting screen prank isn't there i just want to know i checked i
checked the other day you're not there it's close
melting screen prank is number three i think oh my goodness yeah why does it
keep going up uh it's still doing really well i think every time i check it it's
up like a million views um core i and core i9
isn't generating any less confusion because that was four years ago with
nine and a half million views and this is a year a year ago with two million
views and remember that core i9
is such a a one percenter product anyway
yeah that literally all of them watched it
not even just that a huge amount of people watched it because they were like what what
should i care i bet as many people watch this video as have bought core i9s total
ever and that's a problem when you have to do
that much education for you with your consumers
sorry what was that what was i going to talk about before i don't remember it's
not important we're dodging rtx it seemed important no there was there was another thing that i was that we were
talking about how uh some of them don't have hyper threading
when it seems like they should oh yeah the plus thing is super weird so we're
gonna have to make another video last thing is dumb oh you were gonna make a video about
uh the plus oh yeah yeah that that's basically it we just wanted to do a
video kind of like sharding on it because we think it's pretty dumb yeah
um like we don't think optane is dumb i i actually we've done sponsored stuff
for optane this isn't it optane tech is
cool yeah definitely cool um
oh wow you know what just occurred to me
with that pipe in here we could also experiment with server
configs that we can't necessarily buy
or rent at existing data centers like we could build something totally custom
throw it in and see what happens what do you mean like if we wanted to experiment
with something like options yeah yeah definitely
that would be cool yeah okay anyway sorry i just think aj's would
geek the freaking hell out over that i think so too cause uh i've actually
got a project upcoming six workstations one CPU i was streaming about that today
yeah and um i might be able to get a hookup on some optane drives for that
and then once that's done i could rip them out we could throw them in a server
and just would you want to see what happens LTT videos about that
yeah i think so potentially sure seems interesting yeah i don't see why not i
would be interested and like i don't necessarily care if
people know what like what our experimental server yeah in the LMG
office is like whatever i don't think it matters oh no you can see the videos
you're paying to see good heavens yeah
all right what else what else we got today um actually this is a really big
topic so why don't we do the NVIDIA thing first i guess sure uh so this was
posted by rat and man on the forum we will finally acknowledge it uh the
original source is i don't know everywhere everyone's talking about it
um GeForce rtx yeah NVIDIA has new cards um
they're sold out everywhere the brand did you know that
they're legit sold out everywhere really you can't buy them anymore they're all
out a bunch of people were like oh oh like you can solve the the availability
problems by like cranking the price and video you thought about that
and then boom sold out almost immediately
there's people like angry that they can't buy them like it's really yeah
yeah but they don't even know what the performance is yet no one seems to care
it's a great world isn't it really there's like there's less
performance metrics than there was on the pascal launch there's basically none
even the pascal launch like they had more direct performance metrics they
were like it compares this weird abstracted number better in
this game uh but like snp based and that was the
weirdness with every generation NVIDIA's hubris grows
but the thing about hubris is that it's supposed to like cause some kind of
downfall and i don't foresee that as long as people keep giving them money
for stuff that's completely sighted out of nowhere and like i think i think
the the prediction from last when even if it doesn't end up being
completely true yeah is going to be more true than is kind of comfortable
because i really don't think there's going to be a huge performance increase i think it's a feature thing yeah that's
what it looks like because ray tracing does seem super cool it's going to be
faster gddr6 is faster and i'm sure they haven't been
completely sitting on ass for the last two years so obviously it's going to be
a bit faster but i don't think the FPS increases
are the story here is the story here um
here's the thing that makes me uncomfortable a lot of the ray tracing demos that we've seen so far we're
running at like 45 frames per second for one of them
um and i'm kind of looking at it going
30 to 45 to be cleared to 45 was on the high end for tomb raider
when was the last time you felt like
lighting was the issue for in-game realism
okay so i will answer this in two different ways one is more direct to the
question and one of them is a little bit more abstracted sure
basically never for the first one yeah but
really really really good applications of lighting have definitely helped with
realism and there is examples of like holy cow with the right lighting
that really helps get you out of the valley
the uncanny valley thing is what i'm talking about i can understand the
benefits to it um but it is extremely
a like if we're talking about gaming it's extremely a single-player focused
thing because if you're playing anything multiplayer you're going to want to turn that the heck off yeah
because for me like i i i have always been far more i've
always found poor facial animations
um yeah or definitely or low resolution textures or just
poorly done graphics in general yeah or just uh
us lazy or sloppy uh set deck is what we
call it in production i don't know what they call it in gaming but just like the
the the clutter in a room when you walk into it like seeing that same clock
model reused a lot like that kind of stuff is far more jarring
to me than the bounces of the light rays as
they move around a scene somewhat someone in uh chat said lol
lighting ray tracing isn't just about well it's x47 i'll give you a call isn't
just about lighting for games the most important thing will be reflections that can show objects that are behind a
perspective camera wow that's niche um
he didn't have the wild that's niche part i threw that in there his little flavor text also reflections or lighting
uh
right there bro so
i okay i think the tech is actually really cool and i was talking to
um i had a buddy over here who he i told
you about him i met him in sweden he gave me the tour of the particle
accelerator Labs and the laser Labs and stuff he's really excited about it from
like scientific applications yes because those cores are going to be super
helpful yes and like he's stoked um also they might actually
be willing to do videos at that place now that would be amazing yeah okay
we'll take that offline yeah okay um and
it's still very unsure and stuff but i'll get you more info later sure uh but
like he's really stoked and that's really cool and that lines up with the
story that NVIDIA has been giving us for quite a few years now which is where
like ai stuff is important science is important we're doing the deep learning
stuff we're doing blah blah blah blah they've been trooping for this for a very long time i wish i owned NVIDIA
stock yep it it it yeah exactly
it makes sense in there in their path that they've been taking it's all very
logical the fact that the performance jump probably isn't going to be that
huge but they have this really cool ray tracing stuff and they have the new
cores and all that kind of stuff that's all very cool basically NVIDIA has gone
from making gaming gpus that they adapt to workstations
and professional uses to making professional gpus and then
trickling the features down to gaming somehow and i think that is reflected
in the fact that um the 1080 ti is basically a titan
which has been more or less accepted by most people yes
so anyway the prices that these cards have sold out at yeah say 1080 yeah
twenty-eight i meant twenty-eight yeah so that's gonna take a while the founders edition 2080 ti is 1200 u.s
the founder's edition 2080 is 800 u.s and the founders edition 2070 is 600. so
the best news i think coming out of all of this given that anytime like i've uh
so here's the other problem when NVIDIA launched the 1080
it was all about this voxel based illumination stuff
like snp that was all they wanted to talk about
are there any games that used it
smp simultaneous multi-projection that would
that was actually the biggest thing that they were pushing was that the big thing yes
simultaneous multi-projection and games used that but it was vr the voxel thing
yeah global illumination i'm pretty sure vxgi that's what they
called it yeah voxel global illumination vxgi
um the xgi game
so there's a epic games demo from 2015.
unreal engine 4.19 NVIDIA vxgi flow blast so here's my problem
anytime we get a fundamental shift in the way that games are rendered
the first generation card that supports it
by the time any games launch any demanding aaa grade games launch that use it
is not going to perform well enough for
the way it's meant to be played experience that's my problem every time
we get a card that is sold based on a feature whether that feature is
tessellation or whether it's directx 12
or whether it's vxgi you go back again and again and again and again and
there's a selling feature and then that's when you have hardware
so game developers can actually start working on the bloody thing and then
there's the next card or the one after that that actually does it well enough
that you can get a great gaming experience with it that's my concern
about ray tracing with these new cards is that yes they will support it but
when we actually get games that do a fantastic job once the game developers
fully understand this technology and know how to use it
it's probably not going to be able to keep up but i could be wrong and i mean
frankly for me if we don't see any improvement in anything other than
lighting if ray tracing is the only thing that that the game engine makers
work on over the next couple of years and they they find a way to make me
totally wrong because the games will basically run the same way that they run
now except we'll be fully utilizing this ray tracing additional hardware yeah
then then great um
but i don't know i i don't know if i've yet seen something that has broken that
pattern can you think yeah well okay to again
it's i first card that supported physx by the time anything really implemented
physx properly did it run well no i do fully believe the bigger push for pascal
was snp um and looking up snp game is going to
be confusing because smp is a like a vr thing and it's like a suite of things as
well and you can use it different ways so there's games that weren't really vr
based that used parts of it to right do things uh but really there wasn't a ton
of titles that utilize snp right
as far as i know okay you're thinking short term that is
exactly what we're doing that's exactly what we're doing when you spend your
money you're actually buying a thing to actually use especially when you're
buying like emerging technologies yeah and like here's here's the thing is that
it's kind of funny because it's one of those situations where the more affluent
you are almost the more
likely you are when the next one comes out that can actually run it well the
more likely you are to just be able to buy that too so if you can afford a 2080 ti now
then you could probably afford to just run your 1080 ti that you probably have
until a ti comes out that'll actually run like
by the time some games come out that can actually utilize it you can probably just buy that that's my point it's
almost like the more money you have the less it makes sense to waste it
whereas if you were someone who had to scrimp and save in order to get a 2080
ti well then you're probably getting a big upgrade because you're probably
running something that's a lot slower so you're probably also getting additional
performance you're on like six or 700 series i guess that's that's kind of the
point like if you're someone who upgrades every three or four years by
all means go out and buy a 2000 series have fun because you're going to be
getting a great upgrade across the board it's just until i see it i'm going to
have a hard time believing that based on this feature this upgrade makes a ton of
sense for someone that has a modern card unless again uh i've been wrong before
buddy we don't have performance benchmarks yet yeah i don't have a card yeah
so i'm just talking out of my butt yeah who knows
the the fact that everyone pre-ordered this already is freaking insane
yeah and every generation of cards NVIDIA just kind of takes even more
control over the the messaging like
they've they've announced the cards they've put them on sale
and we still the the independent media knows
absolutely nothing other than what we've had leaked by NVIDIA's partners or what
they said on a stage
yeah dang yeah and like obviously
and i'm sure some people are thinking this no one's really said it but
you're thinking of this uh there is benefit to us to say wait for
performance benchmarks yeah sure sure of course yeah but there's also a huge
benefit to you yeah so like just throwing that up we're both
benefiting here this is this is great for both no no
fake news fake news media and not even just us you should like
watch our video when it comes out check out our performance benchmarks and then
look at like a lot of other people's yeah yeah go check out go check out shroud go
check out a non-tech i'm sure ryan will do some stuff like
by all means like it's like doing a little mix of like the video people and
the written people that's good um aiden games 1250 thank you very much for the
reminder adam games 1250 says sponsors
don't forget your sponsors thanks thank you uh why don't we start with uh a
relatively new sponsor they're sort of new they're new in the sense that
they're new right now we haven't worked with them in a while shade tree sunglasses are handmade from premium
wood materials this is the hazelnut helpfully labeled by janna no nice yeah
i know right this is the ponderosa rosa ponderosa so this is
i saw these on the shelf i thought it was tea no these are sunglasses so they're hand
made from premium wood materials they use a polarized lens that blocks a
hundred percent of the uv rays from the sun they've got two new styles that
even smells like wood i mean i guess shut up
uh anyway uh the two new styles called ponderosa and hazelnut
those are dark i
um uh this one ponderosa is made from a
black walnut with titanium hinges and the hazelnut is made from solid ebony
wood and sized for people with smaller faces
that's your problem this one was for me it actually fits a
lot better all right uh so grab yourself a pair today and use offer code Linus to
get 10 off through the link below oh polarized lenses that's right i was like
wow these are so dark i can barely see that
yeah but uh so if you were wondering why we're doing this yeah if you if you look
at it like straight on it's basically black yeah if there was any doubt that
the polarization was working yeah let let me put that to restaurant it's very
clearly working that's very very working interesting so this monitor is polarized
the other way yeah compared to my laptop oh and yours too and mine how very
interesting uh we also have a couple other sponsors today first up is

always helpful savage jerky
i have never tried their hot sauce holy crap this is a reaper hot sauce i
was just gonna say it is now actually the time how many
reapers would it take to make a jar of our bottle of hot sauce
this big how terrifying is that yeah it's pretty
terrifying are you gonna do it ingredients
tomatoes carolina reaper peppers it's the second
one habanero peppers
apple cider vinegar honey lime juice garlic onions kosher
salt light brown sugar and ground mustard that actually sounds delicious
that does sound delicious it also sounds like carolina reaper's second ingredient
it also sounds savage yeah yeah yeah savage jerky
oh boy made from the best ingredients without nitrates or preservatives with
the goal of creating a snack that is full of flavor and spice
but that isn't bad for you he's taking the seeds they've got 13 different
flavors of jerky like the sriracha bacon and maple buffalo bacon maple buffalo
bacon is my personal favorite they also make barbecue sauce hot sauce and a
spice rub one of their hot sauces is made
from carolina reaper peppers one of the hottest peppers in the world and you can
use offer code LTT to save 10 percent
on all their products i
i'm just going to try a little bit because i i
you want a little bit you're going i'm going all right
i think i think
why would you move right then
there's there's hot sauce all over my laptop
oops oh man that's a lot i'm gonna die
well hold on how much do you have oh i wasn't looking i'm pretty sure that's
more what happened i don't actually no no i was looking when i was pouring the
other one where's the lid did that get on you
yeah it's all over my pants ooh
hot pants that's spicy i'm wearing hot pants yeah
what just happened oh did someone just turn off all the filming lights
that's only one of them thank you i think they're working on it okay okay
who has more do we have the same amount that's pretty similar i might have
slightly less but my finger is bigger okay you've got some wrapped around
be aware of that okay all right uh yeah i think we're good ed okay
i actually really don't want to do this okay
oh i can already feel loud
oh
ed could i get a paper towel
i spilled hot sauce on my laptop
i need something to wipe it off with oh
anyways uh if you want you want a huge variety of great beef
jerky i'm crying so much right now
thank you
my eyes are fine i'll try to prove that oh no i i got
them tears you know crying a little bit yeah but i uh so my
my chest has already not felt very good today i'm man enough to cry
i can feel it oh maybe this will clear me up you know
oh once you get like if i wasn't just drinking it
um like i i actually i love hot sauce on my
like marinara pasta yeah yeah yeah like putting that in like a pasta or
something that's it's really nice the flavors are
really good it's got some lime to it like it's
that is actually a really delicious hot sauce got a nice acidity i wouldn't
recommend just drinking it yeah
nice okay well there you go i've i'm actually i'm gonna take that home one
thing i noticed about that was the immediacy of it
some of them there's like a bit of a delay yeah that hits you right away
oh okay straight to the vein all right all right uh anyway
do we have any more like tech news topics we wanted to talk about here uh
there okay there's wow oh yeah
steam compatibility tool yeah oh do you want to do the kalashnikov electric car
first that's amazing but we want to do that first no let's do it first let's do
it first okay so kalashnikov
yes that kalashnikov i always thought it was
kalishnikov but it's like it's not it's like clearly not spelled that way so did
i um
it actually looks really cool it actually looks really cool and like that
i really like the style kind of like like
hipstery like like modern but with classic inspiration
yeah like i'm not really a car guy like it's clearly old school but then the the
rims and the lights and the grooves real like that would turn my head down the
street oh yeah yeah yeah it looks great for sure in most styles most cool modern
cars yeah it's hard to see them ever being classic
yep whereas this has a really iconic looking design it's really different
really different from anything else so russian weapons manufacturer
kalashnikov best known for making the ak-47 has unveiled a fleet of electric
and hybrid cars buggies and motorcycles these guys went all out i guess them
falling weapons uh rifle sales in the us
might be prompting this you know about that right no i didn't yeah so it's
interesting for the gun companies
um democratic leadership has actually been better for
their sales because people run out oh that makes
sense buy a bunch of guns wow just in
case so they'll get grandfathered in in case a bunch of anti-gun protection yep
um anyway so this includes an electric
vehicle that the company claims will rival tesla
well when tesla makes all their stuff open source it kind of makes sense it's a concept car dubbed the cv-1 and bears
a close resemblance to the soviet era trebant see i'm not actually like i'm
not a car guy so i'm not that let's have a let's have a look at that
we can i don't know how to pronounce it but i've seen it before for sure
i watched a mini documentary on it okay yeah it does kind of there's
clearly a lot of faulty towers
wait what hold on a second is this the car that
what is this from i thought he drove a british car no it
can't be there's no way he's driving like a soviet car that can't be right anyway um
it just it looks like the parking lot of the faulty towers hotel from the show
it's not is it anyway whatever so that's
the car it's based on looks really cool um
let's have a look here so the cv one is based on the trabant was the way east
german car okay east german car
starch plastic there you go uh so it's based on the retro izh
22 21 252 and that's known as the combi and
it's a test bed for kalashnikov's electric drivetrain um so the company
said they developed it in-house it's got a cruising range of 350 clicks zero to
100 kilometers so that's zero to 60 for our american friends in roughly six
seconds and 90 kilowatt hours
our battery capacity of 90 kilowatts per hour i think that means 90 kilowatt
hours i think that's just a typo in our notes yeah
would you buy a kalashnikov car okay so with what i know about
their most famous rifle not necessarily their other productions but their famous
rifle yeah because the idea is that it just always
works so it does that i don't know if that
goes into their other forms of engineering in a lot of ways electric
vehicles are less complex than an internal combustion engine even though
they're actually it's funny i was about to say they're newer tech they're not um
electric cars actually came first if you go back far enough they're really old
but um the the modern electric cars are definitely newer tech than the very
refined internal combustion engines that we have today but in a lot of ways
they're a lot simpler so it shouldn't be that big of a surprise that we're seeing like almost
an like a land grab like gold rush style
um i don't know what would you call it like
a renaissance like a yeah well like you're seeing a lot of brands pop out of
the woodwork with electric cars electric motorcycles just complete nobodies
mostly most of the traditional car companies are stepping in as well but there is a lot of random new companies
stepping up and making electric cars yep i mean even that bike that i want to go
down and test drive which i will be doing
i have a trip to san fran confirmed so i will be doing that did i talk about that
on my show last week igor cameron cozyrev says
bsbs fully spelt out you naive canadians
don't understand anything in russia is proposed for corruption not for making
final product
that sounds a little aggressive so
nothing in russia will be produced i'm also starting to question his username
because he's like it sounds like he's trashing russia but he sounds like he
has a super russian username so he might actually be like playing that angle he
says you won't get one yeah i don't actually expect kalashnikov to
necessarily make a push into the u.s yeah but that doesn't mean that no one
will ever own one we'll see if they make them
uh all right this is huge news this week
this was posted by pip nina on the forum and it is the steam compatibility tool
so the original article here is actually steam the steam community
boop steam for Linux introducing a new version of steam play so it looks like
they have not given up on gaming for Linux even though steamos kind of
died on the vine right they've released a beta that's probably fine of a new and improved
version of steam play to all Linux users it includes a modified distribution of
wine called proton so wine is wine is not an emulator it's way to play Windows
games on steam called proton to provide compatibility
with Windows game titles here are some of the improvements it brings to the
table Windows games with no Linux version currently available can now be installed
and run directly from the Linux steam client complete with native steamworks
and open vr support wow directx 11 and 12 implementations are
now based on vulkan resulting in improved game compatibility and reduced
performance impact full screen support has been improved full springs full
screen games will be seamlessly stretched to the desired display without
interfering with the native monitor resolution or requiring the use of a virtual desktop improved game controller
support they will automatically recognize all controllers supported by
steam that's very cool and expect more out of the box controller compatibility
than even the original version of the game performance from multi-threaded
games has been greatly improved compared to vanilla wine wow good so the initial
set of supported games with the beta release is the second one is the most
important beat saber bedual two deluxe doki doki literature club doom doom 2
hell on earth doom vfr fallout shelter fate final fantasy vi
really oh wow i am gonna go get that and play it on
Linux just for lulls geometry dash google earth vr into the
breach magic the gathering a bunch of other magic the gathering mountain blade mountain blade with fire and sword near
payday quake soccer shadow chernobyl star wars battlefront 2 tekken 7 the
last remnant tropico 4 ultimate doom warhammer 4000 dawn of war dark crusade
some other warhammer thing and users are also able to try playing
non-white listed games using an override switch in the steam client and
apparently a ton of stuff is working going forward users can vote on their
favorite games to be considered for steam play using platform wish listing
and presumably they will like work on that
wow very cool very very very cool proton contains a custom version of wine as
well as additional libraries developed alongside it is fully open source and
available right now on github this
could change everything especially if they keep progressing
especially if they like actually stick with it mind you valve has shown
considerable resilience when it comes to
decoupling themselves from microsoft and Windows even if the particular projects
that they've worked on have not necessarily developed much like i don't think
they've done anything with um steam link since the original one yeah
not that i'm aware of anyway but i think like when you look at steam link steam
controller and the
steam os steam box kind of deal that situation none of that really was enough
to pull people away i guess um
so maybe this will be i definitely know some people i i don't know anyone who's
going to switch to Linux because of this uh but i definitely know some people
that were already using Linux and already trying to game on Linux that are
super excited because of it if that makes sense
what's going on this was an actual topic in the dock
yeah i had no idea this was a topic yeah
who should Linus fight on p i thought we were just like
around no
the biggest event in internet history i have focus pads
if this becomes a thing we can train oh wow uh i know i know like the basics
of boxing training now because i've i've started i'm not
fighting austin that's no i don't think you should fight awesome but if you do fight someone
i just think austin's too nice you don't think i'm too nice wow
wow wow dick you don't think i'm too nice to
punch someone have you ever seen me look like i was close to punching someone
no but i think you could
actually yes i think i have when
on the couch at my parents house
what happened there scrapyard wars season four
what happened in scotland what was season four remember okay the power went out that
day we had to move the entire operation for the end of season four scrapyard wars
was my parents house because they still had power yeah um and then we had to film skype wars
and a channel super fund there and
uh because of we had a room arrangement
planned here and because we couldn't do it here we had to sit in the family room
of my parents house while everyone else was in the garage and they had to film
it on their cell phones and hangouts to us
and basically everyone was like doing oh i was mad but i couldn't have punched
anyone no one though but i think you could have punched
someone i could have punched something but not someone i was mad enough to
punch something but you definitely wouldn't have hit
anyone that was there no no no no those are my friends i would i would never
punch a friend like that couldn't be a thing it's also like illegal but so i
don't think you'd be stupid enough to just hit random people yeah but if you're in like a ring and it's measured
i think you could hit someone
all right well on that note my battery is dead on my laptop so uh luanne show's
over thanks for watching guys uh see you again next week same bat time same bat
to channel bye oh what the crowd
yeah the file says i imagine Linus and austin fighting like
mandark and dexter in dexter's lab where they like kind of slap each other with
their gloved hands
