WEBVTT

00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:11.040
And we're live. Welcome to the WAN Show, my

00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:15.280
friends. We've actually got a great show for you guys today. It feels like we

00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:19.199
hardly ever host the show together anymore. It's like probably less than

00:00:17.279 --> 00:00:25.720
50% of the time. Like either you're out of the country or I'm out of the country

00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:25.720
or you're in the country, but lazy.

00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:30.960
That's mean. I legitimately, we were talking about this before the show. I

00:00:29.119 --> 00:00:37.040
legitimately don't remember why you weren't here last week. Where were you?

00:00:34.239 --> 00:00:42.719
Uh oh, that's right. You had the personal thing. Yeah. Oh, that's right.

00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:45.600
So, that's the same reason that I

00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:50.320
probably could not be here today if there were anything that I could do.

00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:54.480
Yes. Um Yeah. Oh, that's right. Our lives are going great. Yeah. It's been

00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:58.559
kind of a rough couple weeks. Um, the good news is my rough couple weeks isn't

00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:05.040
quite as bad as like my grandparents rough couple weeks. So, you know, hey,

00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:07.360
um, knock on wood for the that it

00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:10.880
continues to continue to not be more worse than it already is. Minecraft or

00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:17.640
something. Well, no, no, it's it's like it's a joke because your head's made of

00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:17.640
wood if you're an idiot.

00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:28.000
So, it's time for the land show, guys. Lots of great topics for you today.

00:01:24.479 --> 00:01:31.840
Oculus stops blocking Vive owners from

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:34.240
playing exclusive Rift games. Basically,

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:38.640
uh, they needed some good PR, so they went and bought it. Yeah, I think they

00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:42.920
heard my video was coming and they were like, whoa. And then did this. Yeah, I'm

00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:46.880
pretty sure that's what happened. Microsoft pays a woman. So, I'm I'm

00:01:45.360 --> 00:01:51.759
sorry. Did they actually send us a review sample or did they just

00:01:49.119 --> 00:01:56.320
eventually after 2 months prioritize your paid order? I think it was 52 days

00:01:54.159 --> 00:02:00.399
later they prioritized our paid order. And to add to that, it wasn't that they

00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:05.200
like shoved it through the queue when it might have been difficult. They're now

00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:08.399
shipping them at a much faster rate. So got production way higher than it was

00:02:07.119 --> 00:02:13.879
before and then we're like, "Yeah, we can probably give them one of those."

00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:16.879
Microsoft pays a woman

00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:19.879
$10,000 over a forced Windows 10

00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.879
upgrade.

00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:27.120
Which Okay, I guess we'll talk more about it later. Yeah, we'll talk more about it later. Tesla driver dies in the

00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:32.239
first crash while using autopilot mode. First fatal crash specifically. First

00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:36.239
fatal crash. Yes. Did I say dies in? Yeah, you said dies in the first crash,

00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:40.640
but there have been crashes. Oh, that's fair. That is fair. Yeah, I mean we may

00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:47.040
not want to be down. US border control could start asking for your social media

00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:48.959
accounts. Oh no. What? Oh no. Actually

00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:53.760
for Okay, we'll discuss it more later, but I might be in favor of this. So

00:02:51.920 --> 00:02:57.680
let's roll the intro and we'll get to all these topics and more. I can just

00:02:55.920 --> 00:03:02.760
take these off my head. They keep like I keep being like what's on my head? I

00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:02.760
keep touching God.

00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:26.280
Visit squarespace.com.

00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:34.680
Actually, it's squarespace.comwanshow. It's not even

00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:34.680
the right link.

00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:42.959
Oh, and now I hate this show. Um,

00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:49.920
so why don't we jump right into our first topic? Um, Oculus stops blocking

00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:51.440
Vive owners from playing exclusive Rift

00:03:49.920 --> 00:03:57.519
games. You know why this actually happened? Um, you know what? Can I do my

00:03:54.879 --> 00:04:02.640
ignorant version first and then can you tell us why it actually happened? Sure.

00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:07.920
Okay. So, original article here is from the Oops. You might be right. website

00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:12.400
that I Hold on. Hold on. It's from The Verge. Yeah. Yeah. Hold on. Let's just

00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:17.440
see if Oh, please work. Please work completely flawlessly in every Oh, no

00:04:14.640 --> 00:04:21.040
way. It worked. Okay, so original article is from The Verge. And

00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:27.040
basically, if you guys haven't been paying attention, Oculus has their store

00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:30.320
where you can buy games and applications and in theory at some point when it's

00:04:28.479 --> 00:04:37.120
not just games, um, where you can buy games. And in that store, some of the

00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:40.320
games are exclusive to the Rift. And so,

00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:42.720
basically what Oculus was doing was

00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:46.800
someone came out and I forget what the pro the project was called. Libra

00:04:44.400 --> 00:04:52.560
something. Libra VR or Libra Vive or something. Libra. Libra VRvive.

00:04:49.520 --> 00:04:56.720
There we go. Libra VRvive. and found a

00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:58.960
way to bypass um the DRM that existed on

00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:04.639
these games that prevented people who did not own a Rift from playing them.

00:05:02.400 --> 00:05:08.880
And then Oculus reacted by tightening down the DRM and making it so that like

00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:13.520
I actually got as far as to launch Ly's Tail and I could like look around and

00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:16.400
enjoy the platformy go, oh, it's a platformer. I should be playing it on a

00:05:14.880 --> 00:05:21.280
screen with a controller. And then you just decided to I actually really want

00:05:18.479 --> 00:05:25.280
to play it in VR. So, I haven't played it yet, though. You actually have.

00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:29.520
Anyway, so I got as far as to be able to look around in the game, but then they

00:05:27.520 --> 00:05:34.320
made it so the controller wouldn't work. So, that was one of the ways that they

00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:43.039
that they locked it down. So, Oculus, having come under fire lately, seems to

00:05:39.039 --> 00:05:47.600
have bought themselves some positive PR

00:05:43.039 --> 00:05:51.360
by discontinuing the blocking of

00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:53.440
uh their their exclusive and DRM games,

00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:56.320
discontinued the blocking of preventing Vive owners from playing them there.

00:05:54.960 --> 00:06:01.440
Let's call that grammatically correct. Okay, what actually happened? Okay. So,

00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:05.039
uh, Oculus had a check in all of the games downloaded from their store that

00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:08.720
just did a headset check. Is this a rift? Is it check yourself? It It should

00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:13.919
check. Does it prevent you from wrecking yourself? Because they did kind of wreck themselves. Did they? Okay. And well, if

00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:18.840
you think Yeah, the PR is really bad, so they kind of wrecked, right? Yeah. Okay.

00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:25.600
Anyway, so that's that's all that LibraVRive was getting around at first

00:06:21.880 --> 00:06:27.360
was is this thing a rift? Yes or no? I I

00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:31.360
think they just like removed that check or they just told it it was a Rift and

00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:36.160
then moved on or something, but it just basically that part didn't matter. So

00:06:33.919 --> 00:06:40.800
Oculus got a little upset, patched in like straight up DRM to not allow. It

00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:43.720
was it was more intense than just a simple check. And then the way that

00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:49.680
Libra VR/revive had to fix that was with a

00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:52.240
complete DRM breaking patch which

00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:58.560
enabled piracy. Oh, the original Libra VIX Revive patch

00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:03.520
did not enable piracy. It didn't help you pirate games. The the new patch, so

00:07:00.880 --> 00:07:07.560
you had to buy the game around the headset check. Yes, that was the

00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:12.479
original one. The new one didn't. And Libravr/Revive was like, "Yo, we don't

00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:19.360
really want to do this, but this is the only option we have to play Rift games

00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:24.160
on a Vive." So, there you go. So, Oculus

00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:28.120
has now allowed people to use games

00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:31.680
bought on the Oculus store on the Vive

00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:34.680
um while saying we continually revise

00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:38.759
our entitlement and anti-privacy

00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:42.000
systems. Um and where is

00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:43.919
it? We believe uh protecting developer

00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:50.440
content is critical to the long-term success of the VR industry. So, while

00:07:46.400 --> 00:07:53.360
they're also doing stuff like uh where's

00:07:50.440 --> 00:07:59.039
the why is it an Apple News link to the Verge? The doc is broken for some

00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:05.319
reason. Well, there's also stuff going on like saying it's solving a major sore

00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:07.440
point between Oculus and parts of the VR

00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:11.280
community. I don't think that was actually the motivation for this. That

00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:16.960
might be a helpful way for them to paint it so that they also get good PR out of

00:08:13.599 --> 00:08:17.879
the move. But I think the problem is

00:08:16.960 --> 00:08:23.440
their action whether they intended it to or

00:08:20.400 --> 00:08:26.400
not was directly resulting in the

00:08:23.440 --> 00:08:32.080
removal of things that stopped piracy in a very widespread way. So, the way for

00:08:29.599 --> 00:08:37.680
them to try to slow down or stop or whatever the piracy that was going on,

00:08:34.599 --> 00:08:40.000
they made a way to keep antipiracy stuff

00:08:37.680 --> 00:08:44.480
in there, but allow people to use it across

00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:48.399
platforms. You notice how at the bottom of these notes, it says LibraVR/revive

00:08:46.560 --> 00:08:53.000
developers have removed their DRM breaking patch. Good. So, that's gone,

00:08:51.040 --> 00:08:58.640
which is good. That's good. All right. I'm I'm like I'm creating havoc

00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:04.399
in Twitch chat right now. Why? by saying that it is pre-recorded because it's a

00:09:00.560 --> 00:09:06.240
national holiday today. Oh my god. Can

00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:12.399
we just like everything every Okay. Okay. So, everyone and their dog in

00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:18.080
Twitch chat wants us to move on to a bit of a different topic here. Um, so the

00:09:15.040 --> 00:09:21.519
original article here is from 9to5 Mac

00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:25.279
and there is some bad news in the in the

00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:29.200
Apple repair world. So, TechServe, which

00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:32.640
has been in business for 29 years in the

00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:36.160
New York area, has apparently decided to

00:09:32.640 --> 00:09:38.480
shutter their doors. Um, citing

00:09:36.160 --> 00:09:43.680
competition from, I think it's four Apple stores, uh, Best Buy, and, uh,

00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:47.279
let's see what else we got going on here, and online sales. So, they're

00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:50.959
saying they're no longer doing enough business on the sales side to make

00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:56.760
continued operation viable. So, they were a third-party Apple product repair

00:09:54.200 --> 00:10:03.760
shop. And this actually would seem to indicate

00:10:00.880 --> 00:10:08.240
that it's possible um that there's more to this than

00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:13.200
necessarily just the business isn't viable. So, Lewis Rossman, uh, who you

00:10:10.640 --> 00:10:18.000
guys may know from the super angry video where the guy was so mad at me for

00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:21.839
putting a video card in an oven that he was practically foaming at the mouth and

00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:25.760
swearing his head off. I have never actually watched the video because I was

00:10:24.079 --> 00:10:31.839
pretty sure it would just annoy me and make it so that I didn't want to work with him. But I decided that, you know,

00:10:29.760 --> 00:10:36.800
my reaction to that video, because he wasn't

00:10:34.040 --> 00:10:41.680
wrong, my reaction to that video should be to show up at his shop and have him

00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:46.640
show me how to do it properly. Sharp guy, nice guy. He was just upset. I have

00:10:44.800 --> 00:10:50.800
to give you props. That was a pretty pretty gentlemanly move. I get it. I get

00:10:49.040 --> 00:10:55.120
it. I understand why he was mad. I totally get it. And you know what? We

00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:59.040
went out for dinner. We we patched our differences and uh and I've actually

00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:03.200
been in touch since then. We we submerged some phones in saltwater a

00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:06.640
little while ago and I got his help as a consultant to help us figure out if

00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:10.000
could could there be any way to revive them. Turns out the answer was no. Um I

00:11:08.640 --> 00:11:15.440
actually owe him an email back. He's like, "Hey, whatever happened with that?" Cuz I emailed him last night when

00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:18.560
I saw this video. Um no, it didn't work,

00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:20.640
bud. Sorry, man. Um yeah, nothing about

00:11:18.560 --> 00:11:23.839
nothing about it worked. Was terrible. They were under salt water for a while.

00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:28.800
Well, they were under salt water for a while and then they were submerged in alcohol for five weeks because I didn't

00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:32.959
get to them because I was like out of the country for weeks. So, yeah, that

00:11:31.680 --> 00:11:38.640
also doesn't sound great. Everything about it is terrible. Um the the the

00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:41.200
laminated layers of the like screen and

00:11:38.640 --> 00:11:46.079
the glass and the the touch interface just fell apart in my hand. Well,

00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:49.440
because of the alcohol, right? Cuz you just like burned all the glue

00:11:47.760 --> 00:11:56.320
everything. All the adhesive, all the seals, all the O-rings. Anyway, so um

00:11:54.079 --> 00:12:00.839
there may be more to this because Lewis's video from last night

00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:08.639
contained a lot of uh

00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:10.720
unclear sort of wording about things,

00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:14.160
but it was really clear on a few things. Number one is that his business is

00:12:12.560 --> 00:12:17.200
viable. And I could have told you that because I went down I visited him like

00:12:15.680 --> 00:12:22.880
two months ago, three months ago, something like that. And I walked into

00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:26.160
his shop. There was customer in, there

00:12:22.880 --> 00:12:27.920
was customer out. I saw his rate card. I

00:12:26.160 --> 00:12:30.959
saw how many people he has on staff. I've watched his videos. I know how long

00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:34.959
the repairs take. It doesn't take a freaking genius to do the math. He's

00:12:32.880 --> 00:12:40.639
doing just fine. He's built himself a business from nothing and is more than

00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:44.000
surviving. Um, he even offered to pay for dinner, but I didn't let him because

00:12:42.160 --> 00:12:49.360
I knew it was my bad for upsetting him by putting by baking video cards.

00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:51.279
Anyway, so he made it really clear that

00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:56.760
anything that happens to his business, if his business is gone, you know, in a

00:12:53.839 --> 00:13:03.680
month that it is not because it was not viable. Um, he made it really clear that

00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:06.399
there are tools available online that

00:13:03.680 --> 00:13:12.160
will allow you to download the videos of a given channel um to perhaps to archive

00:13:09.680 --> 00:13:16.079
them just in case YouTube was no longer serving those videos. So, what he seems

00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:22.440
to be hinting at very strongly, and you can see for for such a small channel,

00:13:18.160 --> 00:13:24.800
it's got 171,000 subscribers and uh

00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:29.279
372,000 views on this video. So, for such a small channel, I would consider

00:13:26.560 --> 00:13:33.120
that to be kind of semiviral. Um it's about like if we released a video that

00:13:30.959 --> 00:13:35.920
did 5 million views. Yeah. So, that that would be that's a certain amount of

00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:41.079
virality that we've got going on with this video. People are reacting very strongly to this. There's a lot of

00:13:39.160 --> 00:13:49.120
speculation that Apple themselves, who have been

00:13:44.959 --> 00:13:53.639
known to do things as crazy as sick SWAT

00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:56.560
teams on repair shops that are selling

00:13:53.639 --> 00:14:00.959
Apple trademarked merchandise. In the in the case of one of the stories I heard,

00:13:58.160 --> 00:14:04.480
it was actually replacement back plates for iPhones that had Apple logos on

00:14:03.199 --> 00:14:09.199
them. Um, so they've gone as far as to to six

00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:13.920
SWAT teams on these people and closed down their shops. Um, it is being

00:14:11.199 --> 00:14:20.000
speculated that Apple could be behind Lewis potentially losing his YouTube

00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:22.240
videos as well as his livelihood in the

00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:28.720
form of his shop. I have no confirmation from him. I suspect based on that he's a

00:14:25.040 --> 00:14:31.360
pretty outspoken guy. Not real afraid of

00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:37.199
just kind of saying whatever he's thinking, you know.

00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:41.279
firing from the hip a little. Um I I

00:14:37.199 --> 00:14:44.399
suspect that there is um some kind of

00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:46.399
legal imposition on him to keep his

00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:50.399
mouth shut at this time and that it could affect the the proceedings of of

00:14:48.880 --> 00:14:54.800
whatever battle it is that he finds himself in. Um he's not asking for any

00:14:53.040 --> 00:14:59.040
money. He's not asking for really anything. I reached out. I said, "Hey,

00:14:57.199 --> 00:15:03.440
bro, can I do anything to help?" He said, "No, it's just good to know that

00:15:00.560 --> 00:15:08.000
that that you're there." Um, so I guess that's all that's all that I would ask

00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:12.240
guys is uh either check out there's I think there's a thread on Reddit as

00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:15.199
well, but check that out or just uh oh, I guess you guys don't have to watch me

00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:19.279
do this, but leave a comment under the video. Just be like, "Yo, you know,

00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:23.560
whatever's going on, we're there because he's a good guy and there's a bad thing

00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:28.560
happening to him right now." And uh that's pretty much uh pretty much

00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:33.399
where I'm at on the whole Lewis Rossman thing.

00:15:30.959 --> 00:15:39.120
Um, yeah. So, uh, maybe we could move on to

00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:42.480
some good news. One second. How about some good news? One second. Wow. We

00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:48.639
don't have a lot of good news, do we? We have some funny news. What's up?

00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:54.480
Um, no, I don't think I want to get involved in that. Okay. Um, okay. So,

00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:59.920
this the original article here is from Extreme Tech, and this is some pretty

00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:07.519
extreme craziness. A woman wins a $10,000 judgment against

00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:09.040
Microsoft for the forced Windows 10

00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:15.120
upgrade that happened on her computer. Do you want to post this in the Twitch chat? Yep. On it.

00:16:11.959 --> 00:16:17.040
Um, wow. Does this have the potential to

00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:20.959
open the floodgates or is this a one-time thing or uh, hey Microsoft, I

00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:25.279
want my 10 grand. You bricked my computer. Yeah, obviously temporarily.

00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:32.320
So, not really bricked, but like but like it was very inconvenient for me. made it completely unusable until I like

00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:37.759
reformatted everything. So, Terry Goldstein of

00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:43.279
Saucelito, don't quote me on that. Uh, California sued Microsoft after a failed

00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:47.199
Windows 10 upgrade left her system performing poorly, not even in an

00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:50.160
unusable state, which I know you've personally experienced. Yeah, and like I

00:16:48.800 --> 00:16:55.839
know other people have as well. I know people have experienced this, too. So, she's also not the only one. prone to

00:16:53.279 --> 00:17:00.639
crashing and reportedly unusable for multiple days. Goldstein reached out to

00:16:58.880 --> 00:17:04.559
Microsoft customer service to attempt to resolve her issues and filed a suit once

00:17:03.040 --> 00:17:08.480
the company failed to resolve her problems. And you know what? This is

00:17:06.959 --> 00:17:14.360
something that I've always been upset about. Why is it that Microsoft, a

00:17:11.199 --> 00:17:16.520
company that charges

00:17:14.360 --> 00:17:20.480
$110 to $180 depending on the addition that you

00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:24.079
buy, why is it that a company that charges that much for their products

00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:28.079
doesn't have to pick up a phone when you have a problem with it?

00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:32.080
Can anyone else figure that out? Why is it that they just get to have like a a

00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:35.840
support desk? At the tech shops that I've worked at, if someone's like

00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:39.200
operating system is screwed up and we have to reinstall it and use a key and

00:17:37.679 --> 00:17:43.520
the key that's on the side of their box doesn't work because it never freaking

00:17:41.280 --> 00:17:49.840
works and you call them, they're just like, "Not our problem." Every time.

00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:52.880
Like, what the hell? Did you know that

00:17:49.840 --> 00:17:56.000
there are like the the discount for

00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:58.720
system integrators is not as much as

00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:02.880
you'd think? They actually still pay a significant amount of money for for

00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:08.000
Microsoft Windows. So like the fact that they just get to kind of go nope nope

00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:10.480
nope nope nope should be upsetting.

00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:15.200
Yeah. Anyway, super frustrating. And then if you buy it yourself, they just

00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:19.360
do the same thing. That Yep. I mean, I've had conversations

00:18:17.840 --> 00:18:23.200
with Microsoft where I mean, a lot of you have probably noticed that in the

00:18:21.360 --> 00:18:27.120
corner of a lot of our screen capture, all of our benchmarking systems, it

00:18:25.280 --> 00:18:32.160
says, "This copy of Windows is not genuine." How on earth are we supposed

00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:35.280
to be using a genuine copy of Windows on a benchmark machine? Every single time

00:18:33.679 --> 00:18:40.480
hardware changes, it invalidates the key. I have spent literally hours

00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:45.280
because it used to be that I would go to the trouble of calling in and

00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:49.200
revalidating it every time that I changed a motherboard, for example.

00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:53.280
Certain components it it it dislikes more than others. Graphics cards are

00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:56.559
pretty good, but not always, too. And not always. I've changed a car a

00:18:55.039 --> 00:19:00.960
graphics card and I've had it get pissed. Boom. So, so basically I used to

00:18:59.280 --> 00:19:05.039
call in all the time and I got to the point where um one of my bench test

00:19:03.120 --> 00:19:07.919
copies of Windows had been reactivated so many times they just refused to keep

00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:10.880
doing it for me. And I'm like, "Well, what am I supposed to do? This is the

00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:16.880
same computer." And they're like, "There's nothing we can do." I'm like, "Well, what am I supposed to do? My job

00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:21.120
is to test hardware and change out the hardware on the machine. So, when I

00:19:19.360 --> 00:19:24.360
change a motherboard, I am not changing the system. I'm just changing a

00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:30.880
motherboard." It's like uh and they're like well there's no

00:19:27.760 --> 00:19:33.440
solution like so I so I just so so what

00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:38.080
I I can't I can't bet you understand there's an entire industry of like

00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:42.320
people who have to test computers and you're basically just telling them all

00:19:39.679 --> 00:19:46.880
to pirate Windows because I have literally no other choice. Actually I do

00:19:43.679 --> 00:19:48.559
have another choice. So the reason that

00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:52.480
that's always down there because if I was pirating Windows it wouldn't be

00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:56.640
there. Yeah. The reason that's down there is because I'm just running within

00:19:54.080 --> 00:20:01.039
the 30-day trial. So, we just have to reformat the machines periodically and

00:19:59.360 --> 00:20:04.600
just not enter a product key. We just skip it. The reality of it is these are

00:20:03.280 --> 00:20:11.360
not production machines and they're just for testing purposes of

00:20:09.280 --> 00:20:15.200
keys. We also have like a shelf of keys just for laws. Just in case, you know

00:20:13.280 --> 00:20:19.600
why? It's in case someone walks in here and is like then we can just be like

00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:22.880
key. It's like Yeah. Like what? And I'm like, "Look, I didn't know what to do. I

00:20:21.360 --> 00:20:29.159
talked to Microsoft support. They couldn't tell me what to do. So, I just bought like a pile of pro keys." Like,

00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:34.240
fine. I don't know what to tell you anymore. Just look here. Here, pro keys.

00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:40.559
Like, I don't know. I don't know the answer. It's not a small pile.

00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:43.600
Um, so the $10,000 figure reflected the

00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:45.360
estimated lost compensation. So, maybe

00:20:43.600 --> 00:20:48.080
she was self-employed or something. Um, maybe as well as the cost of a new

00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:53.120
system. They had to buy her a new computer. Wow. So, uh, they appealed the

00:20:51.120 --> 00:20:57.760
initial judgment but dropped the appeal last month. That is hilarious. The the

00:20:56.080 --> 00:21:02.159
problem I would have here is I didn't contact customer service and I just

00:20:59.840 --> 00:21:05.919
fixed the problem immediately by myself. So, it took me like a couple hours and

00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:10.720
then updates and then I was done. Well, they should have to pay you for the

00:21:08.159 --> 00:21:14.559
training and experience and expertise that goes into having been able to fix

00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:18.320
the problem. That's how life works. That's true. I mean, when you bring in a

00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:23.039
plumber and it takes him 15 minutes to fix the problem, you're not paying him

00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:27.760
for 15 minutes. You're paying him or her for the years of experience that they

00:21:25.840 --> 00:21:31.840
bring into your house in order to fix it in 15 minutes. Speaking of or her, a

00:21:29.919 --> 00:21:36.799
female plumber friend of mine just got engaged. Oh, really? Yeah. So,

00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:40.280
congratulations to them. Not going to say names because I don't know, but

00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:45.840
yeah, I'm not even joking. My dad taught her. Do I know

00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:47.039
this person or uh I doubt it. I went to

00:21:45.840 --> 00:21:51.320
high school with them. I don't think you've ever met them though. But yeah,

00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:58.080
anyways, it was like yesterday or the day before. It was very recently. I

00:21:56.240 --> 00:22:07.559
don't remember. On that positive note, I have more bad news. Um so we're on the

00:22:01.760 --> 00:22:11.039
Tesla blog here, tesla motors.com. And

00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:15.320
yeah, so you know what is the saddest

00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:18.080
thing about this?

00:22:15.320 --> 00:22:24.240
Every additional incident that happens from now on will get less and less

00:22:21.520 --> 00:22:29.679
attention. Yeah. The only reason anyone's paying attention to this is

00:22:26.320 --> 00:22:31.320
because it's the first. But, you know,

00:22:29.679 --> 00:22:38.799
with that said, um Tesla is Tesla is kind of, you know,

00:22:35.919 --> 00:22:43.840
being sympathetic while also protecting their own interests in their statement,

00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:46.720
pointing out that in fact, um this

00:22:43.840 --> 00:22:51.840
shouldn't have happened if the operator of the vehicle was following the

00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:54.080
guidelines that they to be fair, they

00:22:51.840 --> 00:22:57.760
didn't like push on that a ton. No, they didn't. But they did point it out. Yeah,

00:22:55.840 --> 00:23:01.280
I think legally it was a responsible thing to to point that out. But in a

00:22:59.840 --> 00:23:06.240
nutshell, they didn't try to make that the focus or anything, but yeah, the

00:23:03.360 --> 00:23:10.559
autopilot sensors on a Model S failed to distinguish a white tractor trailer

00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:15.840
crossing the highway against a bright sky. So Joshua Brown had put the Model S

00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:20.640
in autopilot mode to control the car during highway driving. The car

00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:23.919
attempted to drive full speed under the tractor trailer. It impacted the

00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:29.520
windshield, veered off the road, crashed through two fences and into a power

00:23:25.760 --> 00:23:32.000
pole. So, um Joshua Brown has passed

00:23:29.520 --> 00:23:37.200
away. Uh the incident was disclosed by Tesla on Thursday night and happened on

00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:41.200
May 7th actually in Willist, Florida. So, it actually took a little while for

00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:44.480
them to start talking about this. They were probably looking into how it

00:23:43.120 --> 00:23:49.280
happened and all that kind of Well, I think they wanted to know what the story is before they start talking about the

00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:52.880
story. Otherwise you end up with you know widespread changing stories and all

00:23:51.679 --> 00:24:00.240
this kind of stuff and you know how the internet loves to speculate. I mean the number of people who think

00:23:56.520 --> 00:24:02.799
uh who was it I think like Google is

00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:06.720
responsible for the uh the Twitter yeah that's not accurate thing that happened

00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:13.360
with us. It is a company but it was not a thing. Yeah. Um just crazy. So, they

00:24:11.600 --> 00:24:19.440
detailed in their statement that this is the first known autopilot death in 130

00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:22.960
million miles driven by their customers. Uh, this isn't in my notes, so don't

00:24:21.120 --> 00:24:27.679
quote me on the exact numbers, but I've got it here actually. Um, so among all

00:24:25.840 --> 00:24:32.799
vehicles in the US, there's a fatality every 94 million miles compared to 130

00:24:31.120 --> 00:24:39.919
that were in autopilot mode. So, they were quick to point out that they're still ahead. Yeah. And worldwide they fa

00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:44.400
fatality approximation is at about 60 million miles. So that's not I don't

00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:48.640
know how apples to apples that is though because I don't think Teslas are all

00:24:45.840 --> 00:24:53.520
over the place in like Cambodia where people drive like they all just make up

00:24:51.520 --> 00:24:58.000
their own rules as they go. Like I think the US but that's why it's lower, right?

00:24:56.080 --> 00:25:02.000
Yeah. Yeah. Because the US comparison is more fair. Yeah. The 60 is not

00:25:00.080 --> 00:25:06.880
specifically not a onetoone. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:25:03.120 --> 00:25:06.880
Um, that's still

00:25:07.320 --> 00:25:15.120
not like we're not trying to be like, "No, they did great." Like, uh, still

00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:19.200
sort of sucks. Yeah, still sucks. Um, you know, there's still supposed to be

00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:24.960
other sensors on the car that should have known that there was a very large

00:25:21.360 --> 00:25:27.120
object actually in front of the car. Um,

00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:31.240
but you know, Tesla is taking this opportunity to remind people, some of

00:25:29.840 --> 00:25:35.840
whom have been posting very irresponsible videos to YouTube, even

00:25:33.760 --> 00:25:42.080
like the guy sleeping. Yep. Of abusing their autopilot mode. Um, yo, it is an

00:25:39.279 --> 00:25:46.000
assist feature that requires you to keep your hands on the steering wheel at all

00:25:43.760 --> 00:25:49.840
times. You need to maintain control and responsibility for your vehicle while

00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:54.320
using it. I'm just glad that it didn't carry them onto, you know, a pile of

00:25:52.640 --> 00:26:00.240
school children or something like this could have been worse. Um, and it's a

00:25:57.120 --> 00:26:03.279
really important opportunity for us to

00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:06.440
remind ourselves that they are a two out

00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:08.720
of four in terms of autonomous driving

00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:14.240
standards. They are four is fully autonomous. They are not that they are

00:26:11.120 --> 00:26:18.159
two. Um, keep your hands on the wheel.

00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:18.159
Be prepared to take over at any time.

00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:21.440
Um,

00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:29.559
yeah. So, that's a drag. Um, you know what? Maybe now's the

00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:33.679
time for a for a Twitter blitz

00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:36.559
here. I want to hear from you guys. U

00:26:33.679 --> 00:26:40.320
So, tweet at Lionus Tech on Twitter. Um, oh, I guess this is also a good

00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:43.679
opportunity to tell you guys that the Linus Tech Twitter handle is actually

00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:47.360
going to become the official Linus TechTips Twitter handle. And I'm gonna

00:26:45.600 --> 00:26:51.200
be switching over to something else. Personally, it's sort of TBD, but it's

00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:55.440
probably gonna be at Linus G. Sebastian. I couldn't get at Linus

00:26:52.919 --> 00:26:59.200
Sebastian. Darn. Did you contact them? Um, I've tried to contact Atlinus

00:26:57.679 --> 00:27:04.000
Sebastian before. I wasn't able to get through. So, the Oh crap. I need to uh

00:27:02.159 --> 00:27:09.760
get in touch with the Atlinus TechTips guy. He's going to hand that over to us

00:27:05.600 --> 00:27:09.760
as well. So, we have

00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:18.720
atteing a bunch of spam. It was like a bot for a while. And then at Linus Tech

00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:24.559
Tips is coming, but we're not going to switch the Linus Tech Tips cuz ideally I

00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:30.080
would have liked at Linus Tech Tips to be the publication and at Linus TechTips

00:27:27.600 --> 00:27:33.760
to be me. And theoretically, you could do that, but you lose your verified

00:27:31.760 --> 00:27:39.200
check mark. So, I don't want to strip the company of its verified check mark.

00:27:35.559 --> 00:27:40.960
Also, all of the Twitter handles in the

00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:44.080
videos and under the videos would have to be replaced with the official one,

00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:47.679
which is a real chore and I don't feel like doing it. So,

00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:56.770
um, this vehicles, sorry, I'm just I'm

00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:58.200
going to create a straw poll here as

00:27:58.200 --> 00:28:02.880
well. Okay, so let's get that posted in

00:28:01.520 --> 00:28:08.960
the Twitch chat. Want to hear from you guys. want to hear from you guys on Twitter. But basically the question is,

00:28:07.120 --> 00:28:17.039
are you still comfortable with autonomous vehicles? And the answers are

00:28:11.679 --> 00:28:18.399
yes, no, I never was. Or I mean, if you

00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:24.880
want to hit us up on Twitter, then I guess you could say something a little bit, you know, more complex than that,

00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:28.320
but still limited to 140 characters or whatever it

00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:30.720
is. Uh, sorry, I just got to get us signed into Twitter. Do you want to jump

00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:36.720
on to the next topic in the meantime? Then we'll come back to this, please. So, US Border Patrol could start asking

00:28:34.399 --> 00:28:42.799
for your social media accounts. Now, to be clear, this is a um like when you're

00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:46.960
filling out your I believe it's like your customs incoming form or whatever

00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:51.679
the questionnaire thing that you fill out when you enter the country. I don't

00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:56.480
think this is US border patrol as in driving over the border. I think this is

00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:58.600
US border control uh control as in

00:28:56.480 --> 00:29:05.120
flying into the country. Um, it would be added to both electronic

00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:07.600
system for travel authorization and the

00:29:05.120 --> 00:29:10.919
you have got to be kidding me. 94W. Oh, I still had my screen share on. Okay,

00:29:09.120 --> 00:29:18.000
I'm going to have to deal with that immediately. Okay. All right. You should

00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:20.300
do that very quickly. Um, anyways, gonna

00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:25.059
keep uh talking.

00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:32.679
Uh anyways, uh and it would be an optional field. So

00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:38.720
you would have um the option to put it in or not. Uh I

00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:44.480
don't necessarily think that this is the worst thing ever. One, it's optional.

00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:46.640
Two, this would be what is currently I

00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:50.159
don't know. See, it's kind of weird. This would be what is currently public

00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:54.480
on your social media account. So, if you had things that you didn't want people

00:29:51.679 --> 00:29:58.320
to see, you would theoretically have it uh posted in a private way. So, it's

00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:06.080
probably not the end of the world. And you could have like

00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:08.559
uh say you were a like cam girl or porn

00:30:06.080 --> 00:30:12.960
star or something like that, maybe have your work account and your personal

00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:16.480
account and give them your personal account when going over the border. I do

00:30:15.120 --> 00:30:20.480
think it's a little bit weird for things like stalking. You go over the border,

00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:23.679
someone thinks you're attractive, they give you have to give them all of your

00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:27.760
information, including address and social

00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:31.320
information. I don't know. I'm not entirely sure what the inspiration for

00:30:29.679 --> 00:30:37.440
it is. Um, you could theoretically say like,

00:30:35.039 --> 00:30:43.440
oh, like ISIS members and stuff have social media accounts, um, whatnot and

00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:47.520
so forth, but I seriously doubt any of them would give that one. Like I just

00:30:45.520 --> 00:30:52.320
said about the like if you're an adult star of some form, um, you would have a

00:30:50.159 --> 00:30:55.919
work one and a nonwork one. I have a feeling someone who's as blatant as an

00:30:54.399 --> 00:31:01.279
ISIS member with a Twitter account wouldn't put their ISIS affiliated

00:30:57.840 --> 00:31:04.480
Twitter account on a travel

00:31:01.279 --> 00:31:07.520
authorization form to go into the US

00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:08.679
because that is just ridiculous. And

00:31:07.520 --> 00:31:16.480
it's also an optional area. So yeah. Okay. Well, that

00:31:13.919 --> 00:31:23.240
was potentially the end of the world but isn't. Yay.

00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:26.080
Yay. If I could copy this, that would be

00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:31.799
great. Jeez, I've had a bad enough week with that kind of crap going on. That's

00:31:28.320 --> 00:31:31.799
the last thing.

00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:37.760
Yeah. Yeah. No, I know. I No, no, it was much It was much worse than that,

00:31:35.600 --> 00:31:44.640
actually. It was much much worse than just the password. Um, it was uh it was

00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:47.039
that and a backup code. So it was like

00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:52.240
so it was it was the password and the means to uh circumvent my two-factor

00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:57.679
authentication. The best part is too I saw through my administratory stuff that

00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:59.440
people were storing backup codes in that

00:31:57.679 --> 00:32:03.840
and was literally going to bring it up in the Monday morning meeting next week

00:32:01.360 --> 00:32:10.000
that people should not do that. Yeah. Well, there you go. There you go.

00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:12.720
Um sorry, I'm just going to need a minute actually. Okay. Hey, no, I did

00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:15.919
want to weigh in on that topic and I'm actually like I'm good now. That was uh

00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:20.000
that was the only thing that showed up there and it's all it's all sort squared

00:32:17.919 --> 00:32:25.880
away now. Ant Venom being a bro in chat was like you post pictures, you get

00:32:21.760 --> 00:32:29.120
timed out, talk get

00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:32.240
hit. So, uh when crossing the border,

00:32:29.120 --> 00:32:34.559
like honestly, some of the easiest times

00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:40.640
that I've ever had crossing the border have been when I explain who I am and

00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:44.159
show them a video. Because like if I'm going down to attend uh a conference or

00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:52.320
something like that, I'm like, "Yeah, I'm this guy. I make videos about tech on YouTube." And they're like, "Oh,

00:32:47.679 --> 00:32:53.840
okay. So, you're you." Um

00:32:52.320 --> 00:32:58.480
um you're going to want to figure that out immediately. Okay. Yeah, I'll figure

00:32:55.840 --> 00:33:00.880
that out. Um so I have kind of the same thing. Someone will ask me what I'm

00:32:59.679 --> 00:33:04.880
doing. I'm like, "Oh, I'm going for meetings." And like before they even ask

00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:09.760
me like, "Uh, what kind of meetings?" cuz you know the border control guy is

00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:13.279
just like I've had 10,000 people come through here today and I'm tired of

00:33:11.519 --> 00:33:16.960
asking these questions every single time. So instead of just like vomiting

00:33:15.679 --> 00:33:23.440
information at them because they also don't want that either and that makes you look super suspicious. I just have

00:33:19.919 --> 00:33:25.039
my formulated obvious question ready.

00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:28.240
I'm like I'm a YouTube person. I make YouTube videos. I'm going to visit a

00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:31.960
hardware company because I make YouTube videos on hardware and I'm going down

00:33:29.840 --> 00:33:37.440
there for meetings. Um, yeah, it's actually pretty

00:33:34.760 --> 00:33:40.799
straightforward. So, for me, being able to show like here's my Twitter account,

00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:45.399
which is for work, and here's the YouTube channel that we have. It's for

00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:51.519
work, and here's my Facebook page. It's private.

00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:53.360
So, there's my picture, I guess. Cool.

00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:58.799
Um, actually, I don't have any problems with that at all. And one kind of cool

00:33:56.640 --> 00:34:03.559
side effect of this could be that people are more wary about what they put

00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:08.159
publicly on their social media cuz

00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:13.760
man, some people aren't careful with that at all. Like

00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:16.720
Dennis just posting dickpicks on Twitter

00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:20.879
all the time. Yeah. Yes, he does. That's why his Twitter handle is Dennis is

00:34:18.320 --> 00:34:24.879
hung. Yeah. Thought it was Denny is hung. Is it Denny is hung? Oh, it's

00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:29.480
Denny's, huh? Ever so slightly different than that, as in Denny's,

00:34:27.919 --> 00:34:33.839
the uh restaurant chain. Anyways,

00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:38.159
uh talking about another thing that could be seen in either way, Apple has

00:34:36.560 --> 00:34:43.119
granted a patent that can prevent iPhones from recording at concerts. I'm

00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:49.919
going to post the 9 to5 Mac article in the chat so you guys can see it as well.

00:34:45.040 --> 00:34:51.440
My immediate gut reaction is that uh

00:34:49.919 --> 00:34:55.599
sorry, I should probably take this. It's my sister, which of Yep. Yep. What's

00:34:54.639 --> 00:35:03.200
going on right now? I would also recommend going. Yeah. Um,

00:34:59.800 --> 00:35:05.040
so I my immediate Come on, Dennis. My

00:35:03.200 --> 00:35:08.400
immediate knee-jerk reaction is that I don't care at all because cell phone

00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:11.839
recordings at shows are stupid. What we're talking about right now is Apple

00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:17.920
has been granted a patent that can prevent iPhones from recording concerts.

00:35:15.040 --> 00:35:22.800
Oh, what do you think? How How do they prevent that? I'm not in I actually have

00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:27.599
no idea. One second. An infrared emitter can be located near an object and

00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:33.240
generate infrared signals with encoded data that includes Oh, so up on stage or

00:35:31.040 --> 00:35:39.760
something they would blast out infrared. Yeah, you like that. I I hate

00:35:35.839 --> 00:35:41.920
people Snapchat entire concert. Yeah.

00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:46.160
One thing once the Snapchat gets out you can't hear anyways because it's

00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:49.920
just like Yeah. Yeah. Oh, if you Snapchat two story of this

00:35:48.160 --> 00:35:55.680
concert is fine, but if you snatch an entire story,

00:35:52.640 --> 00:35:57.520
that's not good. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you

00:35:55.680 --> 00:36:02.839
can sit on the show if you want. Go ahead. Okay. Let's finish this topic. Um

00:36:01.839 --> 00:36:07.359
I think I think this they have right they

00:36:05.440 --> 00:36:12.400
have like copyright thing, right? You cannot record a lot of concert that you

00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:16.880
are not allowed to record. Mhm. I don't know in here in Taiwan. That's and like

00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:20.960
even outside of because I agree and that makes sense and if I was hosting a

00:36:19.040 --> 00:36:25.040
concert I would want people to just go instead of just watching recording. So I

00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:29.280
get that but even just like people standing there like this recording with

00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:35.040
their phones being obnoxious and super annoying and like getting videos from

00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:38.480
people that are like okay this is even even you recording when are you going to

00:36:36.640 --> 00:36:42.480
look at it again? You're never going to watch that again. You can't hear the

00:36:40.240 --> 00:36:46.400
music properly. like it's going to be blown out because all the lasers and

00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:51.920
lights and crap. I don't mind they do that taking pictures or anything before

00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:56.079
the concert actually start. I think still pictures are probably fine. Yeah.

00:36:53.760 --> 00:37:02.000
But if you want just like one momento of like this is cool click or like selfie.

00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:05.599
Yeah. Or something. But like no selfie stick though. No selfie stick. That's

00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:12.079
That might be better cuz then your arms aren't way up in there. No, it's too annoying. It's very crowded and takes up

00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:16.320
too much space. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I was thinking if they go like

00:37:13.680 --> 00:37:20.720
straight up. No, even some place some places in Japan they b Yeah, they banned

00:37:19.040 --> 00:37:24.440
Disneyland did too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's too dangerous.

00:37:22.839 --> 00:37:29.000
Yeah. Um apparently there's more positive uses

00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:32.000
for the technology as in museums.

00:37:32.200 --> 00:37:37.440
Um Oh, that could be cool. So, museums

00:37:35.839 --> 00:37:41.760
could use it in a different way. while you're trying to take a photo of something, they could display relevant

00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:48.960
information about it. That's cool. That could be pretty sweet. Is that what's

00:37:45.040 --> 00:37:50.720
Oh, okay. I'm not sure. It sounds like

00:37:48.960 --> 00:37:54.640
there's too much potential for misuse, though. Cuz if they can display things

00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:58.880
on the screen about what you're pointing the camera at in a museum, could someone

00:37:57.040 --> 00:38:02.640
not use it to just put black over your screen so you can't see what you're

00:38:00.160 --> 00:38:09.280
trying to film or record? You mean when they are in the museum?

00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:11.200
No. Like as a civilian,

00:38:09.280 --> 00:38:16.800
I feel like someone could use this to like Oh, to see your stuff to No, to

00:38:14.640 --> 00:38:19.599
like block people from taking photos of different things when theoretically

00:38:18.160 --> 00:38:24.160
you're allowed filming or taking photos of whatever you want on public property.

00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:28.800
Someone could try to block you from doing so by using this exact same

00:38:26.560 --> 00:38:34.160
technology. Am I being like way too tinfoil hady?

00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:37.839
I don't know what you're talking IR blasting a license plate number. Yeah.

00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:42.960
Like someone's saying if you had like the museum thing, right? Yeah. So, if I

00:38:39.599 --> 00:38:44.880
try to take a photo of my wallet. Yeah.

00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:49.760
I'm at the museum and my wallet is somehow important even though it's

00:38:46.560 --> 00:38:52.320
really not. Um it it says on screen,

00:38:49.760 --> 00:38:57.040
this was so and so's wallet. He he got it here and used it in the great battle

00:38:54.079 --> 00:39:02.480
of buying things at Walmart. Um that's kind of interesting. Was it on Black

00:38:58.560 --> 00:39:06.079
Friday? Probably. Yeah, that's funny and

00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:07.680
relevant. Um, you could theor, if say

00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:10.560
this is someone's license plate, they could have the same technology blasting

00:39:09.359 --> 00:39:18.040
so that when you try to take a picture or video of their license plate, it's just black

00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:18.040
or it covers your screen with something.

00:39:19.680 --> 00:39:25.520
I could be way too tinfoily. That's probably I don't know that

00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:31.280
situation, but I agree with that. Um they that's a

00:39:28.560 --> 00:39:36.160
cool thing if they use that in a concert or

00:39:33.680 --> 00:39:42.160
maybe some meeting submitting is like

00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:46.560
um confidential. Okay. Maybe that would

00:39:42.160 --> 00:39:48.240
be cool if people try to record things.

00:39:46.560 --> 00:39:54.920
So like if we tried to do like a factory tour and if we have that technology in

00:39:50.240 --> 00:39:54.920
our office no prank then no pranks.

00:39:55.359 --> 00:40:02.880
I'm sure you'd appreciate that. Then you can't get Burkel back though. Oh, we can

00:39:59.599 --> 00:40:04.000
do outside the office. Okay. Yeah. At

00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:10.640
your house. Are you saying we can prank you at your house? No, I'm moving.

00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:13.640
Oh, right. Actually, that's not funny. Um

00:40:14.720 --> 00:40:20.880
Oh, do you know those channels uh mainly

00:40:18.240 --> 00:40:25.119
in Asia where you can watch someone eat? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Stream. Twitch is

00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:30.240
allowing that now. They banned that before. They're Yeah, they did. Before

00:40:27.839 --> 00:40:33.680
um they didn't have a section for it. Twitch likes having a section for

00:40:31.839 --> 00:40:39.440
different things. So, they now added a category called social eating. What? It

00:40:36.640 --> 00:40:42.880
sits along other non-gaming categories like Twitch creative. Creative I've

00:40:41.200 --> 00:40:47.760
actually used a fair amount. I don't know if I'm going to use social eating although people have commented that a

00:40:45.680 --> 00:40:53.040
lot of times if I'm and a section called life or life. Yeah. What? Because social

00:40:51.520 --> 00:40:58.640
eating is weird. What? I don't know what that term what does that term mean

00:40:55.440 --> 00:41:00.240
social eating but the the the Asian

00:40:58.640 --> 00:41:04.240
streams where they just eat on camera that's social eating. You're eating and

00:41:02.640 --> 00:41:09.520
you're you're you're talking to the people that watch social media eating

00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:10.880
eating show. Eating show. Yeah. Sure. I

00:41:09.520 --> 00:41:19.440
mean if you can have a cooking show, you should be able to have an eating show, right? Yeah. But if you can eat, you can

00:41:15.160 --> 00:41:21.359
also have a different washroom show. You

00:41:19.440 --> 00:41:27.119
want a washroom show? I'm sure they have that because you this is what that's

00:41:23.920 --> 00:41:28.640
your logic minus.

00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:31.920
So you just you just took it to the next step when you get rid of the food. So

00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:38.000
when you make the food when you consume the food and then you get rid of the food. Okay. But we know the full we know

00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:39.920
that Twitch has um nudity guidelines. So

00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:45.119
So if you were going to have a washroom show, it would have to be what? Like

00:41:42.319 --> 00:41:48.160
neck up and just facial expressions. You can have your shirt on when you're on

00:41:46.640 --> 00:41:55.200
the toilet. You can have your shirt on when you're on the toilet. So like so like like waist like medium just above.

00:41:52.240 --> 00:41:59.359
Yeah. Here like right there. Okay. Oh, I think it

00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:04.400
makes sense. No one's going to watch that. Is there any pretty sure someone

00:42:02.240 --> 00:42:08.400
would watch that? Yeah, someone would. Is there any like obscenity problems? I

00:42:06.640 --> 00:42:14.160
don't I don't think so. I mean, it's a natural thing. You know, going to the

00:42:11.520 --> 00:42:18.480
bathroom is very natural. But okay, but sex is also natural. Sex is Well, it can

00:42:16.560 --> 00:42:20.599
be pretty unnatural.

00:42:20.599 --> 00:42:26.280
Oh, right.

00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:30.960
Okay, fair. Speaking of speaking of Twitch

00:42:29.520 --> 00:42:36.400
streams for going to the washroom, Android N is called Nougat. Um, Android

00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:40.560
7.0 Nougat. Here, I'm going to jump in. Okay. Thank you, Dennis, because I got

00:42:37.760 --> 00:42:44.079
to do our sponsor spots. Yes. Are we doing sponsor spots before

00:42:41.839 --> 00:42:49.480
Nougat? Yes. First sponsors, then Nougat. Okay. All

00:42:46.599 --> 00:42:57.280
right. So, the new site that you might get.

00:42:54.560 --> 00:43:02.800
What? The new site that you might get. New get. Oh,

00:43:00.240 --> 00:43:07.839
that's awful. Yeah. Uh, might be on Squarespace. They've got 24/7 support

00:43:05.040 --> 00:43:11.599
via live chat and email. They feature responsive design in all of their

00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:15.040
templates, which means your website looks great on any device. They've got

00:43:13.040 --> 00:43:18.640
commerce built into every website, so you can create a free online store.

00:43:17.040 --> 00:43:23.680
They've got their cover pages feature, which lets you have like a onepage

00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:28.480
online presence. If you're a web 2.0 company and you think that more pages

00:43:25.280 --> 00:43:30.160
isn't cool, personally not a fan, but if

00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:33.599
you must have that kind of site, then I guess Squarespace can do that for you.

00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:38.960
And they've got lots of other tools, too. everything from their easy inline

00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:40.800
text editing to their just kind of move

00:43:38.960 --> 00:43:45.200
things around, move pictures around interface to the fact that it's all

00:43:42.359 --> 00:43:48.880
cloud-based and finally to their logo creator. And I'm sure there's a million

00:43:47.119 --> 00:43:53.680
things that I'm not thinking of, but basically it makes it easy to make a

00:43:51.040 --> 00:43:58.000
website. Your website will be uh reliable. The only time ours has gone

00:43:56.079 --> 00:44:02.240
down was entirely caused by someone else, not Squarespace, that's for sure.

00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:07.319
And technically, the site didn't go down. you just couldn't find it. That's

00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:11.839
true. If you had gone to the IP directly, then that would have worked

00:44:09.839 --> 00:44:16.560
just fine, actually, now that you bring that up. So, Squarespace did nothing

00:44:14.400 --> 00:44:20.480
wrong. Nope. Um, you can start a trial with no credit card required and start

00:44:18.240 --> 00:44:24.160
building your website today and everyone can now publish content in Apple News

00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:30.160
format directly from their Squarespace blog, making it available to millions of

00:44:26.319 --> 00:44:33.079
potential readers. No, I mean if if if

00:44:30.160 --> 00:44:39.200
you're blogging about like your your washroom streaming show, then actually

00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:46.880
there's probably millions of potential viewers for that. Okay, fine. So, when

00:44:41.359 --> 00:44:46.880
you decide when you Oh, when

00:44:48.680 --> 00:44:54.400
you everything is awful right now. Uh, when you decide to sign up for

00:44:52.560 --> 00:44:58.800
Squarespace, make sure you use offer code WAN so you can save 10% on your

00:44:56.720 --> 00:45:03.599
first purchase. Thanks to Squarespace for supporting the WAN Show. You should

00:45:01.359 --> 00:45:06.599
keep doing it so we can build our show. Beautiful.

00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:17.119
I like it. Nick's not here to yell at me anyway. Yeah. All right. way.

00:45:14.720 --> 00:45:24.880
What have we got for our next uh next topic here?

00:45:19.280 --> 00:45:29.920
Uh well uh Nougat, right? Android N. The

00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:32.160
N word. Nougat. Yeah.

00:45:29.920 --> 00:45:37.200
Uh the original article here is from Android

00:45:33.640 --> 00:45:39.359
Police. Let's go ahead and Oh, you did

00:45:37.200 --> 00:45:42.560
it. You beat me to the punch. I was going to I was going to do it. I was

00:45:40.640 --> 00:45:47.280
just like I was in I'm not here with Luke because he's away last week mode

00:45:44.800 --> 00:45:53.040
and and lots of other weeks. And lots of other weeks. Android N is now officially

00:45:48.960 --> 00:45:55.839
Nougat. Yay. Um I really wanted them to

00:45:53.040 --> 00:46:00.079
make it Namy McName face. Did you see about the one that got like voted the

00:45:57.440 --> 00:46:04.400
most or something? I It just it they put it in like a teaser trailer and I was

00:46:02.640 --> 00:46:10.400
like just do it. I know you do your candy thing, but like it's funny and it

00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:15.200
it's cool. I actually think Nougat has got to be like the worst. It's pretty

00:46:12.800 --> 00:46:19.760
boring. And do people even know what it is? Blocks.

00:46:18.160 --> 00:46:24.319
Like do people even know what Nougat is? Like I know what Nougat is only because

00:46:21.680 --> 00:46:29.119
I love Toblerones. That is the only reason I know what Nougat is. I know

00:46:26.079 --> 00:46:32.240
what Nougat is probably because my mom

00:46:29.119 --> 00:46:34.079
likes it. I believe someone that I know

00:46:32.240 --> 00:46:39.960
has liked it a lot. I think it might have been my mom. It could have been someone else. I don't know. And Tlberons

00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:45.280
are awesome. They're just too expensive. Yeah. So, Naimo Bar, what else? Well,

00:46:43.359 --> 00:46:50.240
Naimo Bar, remember, I think that's sort of more relevant to us because we live

00:46:47.520 --> 00:46:53.760
near like is is that the origin of Nimo Bar or is it a thing? Uh, I don't know

00:46:52.319 --> 00:46:58.240
if that's the origin of Naimo bar or not, but I know it's not just a Canadian

00:46:55.359 --> 00:47:01.839
thing. Like Naimo bars are they're pretty cool. Okay, let's find out the

00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:05.359
origin because if it's like a local thing. Yeah. From Naimo, the name of a

00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:10.079
city in the Canadian province of British Columbia. So, I don't think I think that's probably worse than Nougat. Okay.

00:47:08.480 --> 00:47:14.880
Can we do a poll to see if people know what Naimo bars are? Sure. Because I

00:47:12.720 --> 00:47:19.599
feel like they're Let's not say if they know what they are. Let's hit a poll if

00:47:17.359 --> 00:47:27.599
they've tried one. Okay. Yeah, cool. I like that. Okay, that makes sense. Let's

00:47:21.440 --> 00:47:29.200
do it. So, have you tried uh Nimo bar?

00:47:27.599 --> 00:47:33.599
See, look. Spell check didn't even recognize it. That's not a good sign.

00:47:31.599 --> 00:47:37.839
No. And don't worry, we are going to get back to that Twitter blitz. Uh hopefully

00:47:35.680 --> 00:47:41.880
if we can find all of the I feel like it's a bigger It might not be. I could

00:47:40.319 --> 00:47:46.240
definitely be wrong. Kind of lived here forever and

00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:49.880
stuff. So, yeah. So, it's hard for us to really say, but let's go ahead and and

00:47:47.839 --> 00:47:55.920
try and think of what some of the other uh I mean, there's not a lot of Wow.

00:47:54.240 --> 00:48:00.720
Yeah. There you go. Get wrecked, son. All right. Cool. They're not very good,

00:47:58.640 --> 00:48:05.680
quite frankly. I think they're gross. So, you're not really missing. They're

00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:08.880
very strong. Yeah. My mom loves them.

00:48:05.680 --> 00:48:11.760
Yeah. Absolutely loves them. Yeah. I I

00:48:08.880 --> 00:48:14.960
think we just got told here that that the results are clear. All right. Thank

00:48:13.440 --> 00:48:21.839
you, everyone. That's enough results. At the same time, how many like little pastry cake style thingyamajigs have

00:48:19.200 --> 00:48:29.200
different people tried? Probably some, you know. Yeah.

00:48:25.880 --> 00:48:30.960
Um, okay. So, let's go ahead. Like, what

00:48:29.200 --> 00:48:35.280
what what were the other options here even? Because I I remember hearing

00:48:32.720 --> 00:48:40.640
Nougat and I remember also hearing some ones that were better. Nerds. Oh, yeah.

00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:47.839
That that's a that's a company thing. That's terrible. Uh, Nutroll. Ooh,

00:48:45.160 --> 00:48:51.599
Nutella. Okay, I gotten behind Nutella. Isn't Nutella Is that a brand thing?

00:48:49.760 --> 00:48:54.400
It's a brand thing, isn't it? It is, but Oh, they also did Kit Kat. Yeah, but

00:48:53.040 --> 00:48:58.880
they did Kit Kat and they reached a deal with Nestle. This was one of the

00:48:56.400 --> 00:49:03.359
suggestions. Android Nestle Crunch. Uh, this list is coming from Fandroid over

00:49:00.720 --> 00:49:10.680
here. That's cheating. That's like saying that's like if it was H and it's

00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:13.480
like Android Honda Civic.

00:49:10.680 --> 00:49:21.359
No. Android Napoleon. Android Noodle

00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:23.280
Pudding. GH Nish Tart. Android Nimo.

00:49:21.359 --> 00:49:30.079
Yeah, they're all awful. They're just all terrible. Yeah. Android.

00:49:27.040 --> 00:49:31.440
I'm on Wikipedia under list of desserts

00:49:30.079 --> 00:49:38.880
and I'm going through all the different categories and looking what they have for N and there's not much. Oh, what's

00:49:36.079 --> 00:49:45.119
that? Nonivot. I've never It sounds like another Canadian thing to be honest.

00:49:41.880 --> 00:49:49.880
Nam Kangai. Yeah, that doesn't sound

00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:49.880
Canadian unless it's like in Richmond.

00:49:50.079 --> 00:49:58.640
Nuns Puffs. Wow. Nuns Puffs.

00:49:54.440 --> 00:50:02.000
That nun nut roll. Yeah, nut roll. That

00:49:58.640 --> 00:50:04.480
that one was there. Wow. Is N just not

00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:09.079
like uh not very not a delicious sounding first letter or something? I

00:50:06.800 --> 00:50:15.920
don't don't get it. Well, there you

00:50:11.319 --> 00:50:17.839
go. Huh. Go figure. All right. Yeah,

00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:21.280
there's like really not much. Let's go have a look at that uh let's go have a

00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:25.470
look at that Twitter blitz that we were uh Oh, they probably should have came to

00:50:24.079 --> 00:50:27.160
a

00:50:27.160 --> 00:50:31.800
um agreement with Nutella.

00:50:32.240 --> 00:50:42.559
Oh crap. Did you just do that again? No, no, no, no, no, no. There we go. Okay.

00:50:39.359 --> 00:50:44.079
No, no, no, no. Sorry. I'm not I'm not

00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:46.960
operating at It's all good. I just wanted to make sure you didn't do that

00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:55.200
cuz if you did, I was going to be like, "All right, you need to blitz and fix it again

00:50:51.040 --> 00:50:57.760
and I'll keep doing whatever." Um,

00:50:55.200 --> 00:51:03.359
hold on. I need a minute. All good. Florida man, um, who at this point has

00:51:01.280 --> 00:51:08.160
probably been in jail for an obscenely long time and owes a lot of money. Um,

00:51:05.440 --> 00:51:12.000
has Florida Man. Florida Man. Yeah. You don't know that thing? No. There's a

00:51:09.839 --> 00:51:16.640
subreddit called Florida Man. Okay. Well, whenever you hear like crazy

00:51:14.319 --> 00:51:21.280
complete idiots, whenever you hear crazy news, it seems to be like Florida man

00:51:18.960 --> 00:51:24.800
dies after threatening an alligator with a chocolate bar, like just like crazy

00:51:23.040 --> 00:51:28.960
stuff. It seems to end with like or start with like Florida man. Oh, cuz

00:51:26.880 --> 00:51:33.680
it's just like so it's not a specific from Florida, not Florida man. But how

00:51:31.040 --> 00:51:39.839
the news does it Florida man blah blah blah. Anyways, Florida man sues Apple

00:51:36.319 --> 00:51:43.119
for10 billion US. What? Says he invented

00:51:39.839 --> 00:51:43.119
the iPhone in

00:51:43.240 --> 00:51:49.760
1992. Uh yeah, there's a Gizmodo Gizmodo

00:51:47.720 --> 00:51:55.280
article. There's also a comparison picture which is

00:51:51.480 --> 00:51:56.960
fantastic. Um that is his drawing. Oh,

00:51:55.280 --> 00:52:04.440
hold on. I gota I got to bring this up. Hold on. Hold on. Okay. Okay.

00:51:59.480 --> 00:52:07.440
Sorry. Florida man. Florida man for 10

00:52:04.440 --> 00:52:09.680
billion US dollars he wants. Okay, so

00:52:07.440 --> 00:52:18.800
here's the comparison picture. Here we go. The iPhone according to Florida man.

00:52:14.720 --> 00:52:23.240
The iPhone according to Apple.

00:52:18.800 --> 00:52:25.920
So, I mean, at what point does Gene

00:52:23.240 --> 00:52:32.400
Rodenberry start selling people or start suing people for inventing things

00:52:29.200 --> 00:52:34.599
and like or George Lucas, I mean, when

00:52:32.400 --> 00:52:39.680
someone releases a lightsaber, actually, you know what's

00:52:36.640 --> 00:52:42.960
you know what's kind of crazy is Disney

00:52:39.680 --> 00:52:45.839
probably would be on that.

00:52:42.960 --> 00:52:49.920
What if someone created a lightsaber? Do you think Disney would try to claim that

00:52:47.920 --> 00:52:53.839
they own all the applicable rights? Like a real life lightsaber? Yes. I feel like

00:52:52.000 --> 00:52:59.520
if they tried to call it a lightsaber, then they'd have a problem. But creating

00:52:56.000 --> 00:53:01.280
a a theoretical fantasy depiction of

00:52:59.520 --> 00:53:05.680
something, I don't think gives you the rights to its actuality.

00:53:03.680 --> 00:53:10.640
I think if that was a problem, but could they make the argument that it is so

00:53:08.559 --> 00:53:17.599
culturally pervasive that the inspiration would have had to come from

00:53:14.480 --> 00:53:20.160
Star Wars? I think once we got to the

00:53:17.599 --> 00:53:24.480
point where we could make something that was like that powerful based on mostly

00:53:23.280 --> 00:53:31.359
like light. I don't remember how it works in the Star Wars universe. What is it exactly? It's an crystals emitting

00:53:28.800 --> 00:53:35.200
energy, right? Um, so it's a basically a laser, a crystalline thing that is

00:53:33.280 --> 00:53:39.760
emitting energy which is somewhat like a laser, but only goes out a little bit

00:53:37.920 --> 00:53:43.280
and has obscene amounts of power, but only goes to like a point that looks

00:53:41.839 --> 00:53:48.480
like a sword. Once we get to the point that we can do that, I don't even know

00:53:45.839 --> 00:53:53.280
if Star Wars will still be relevant. Or maybe it's all going to be like

00:53:50.960 --> 00:53:59.520
galaxy quest all over again and we'll think that they're historical documents.

00:53:57.200 --> 00:54:03.680
Yeah. rewatched that recently. Still very

00:54:01.760 --> 00:54:11.680
good. I love Alan Rickman. I've actually heard that. Yeah. Oh man, that sucks.

00:54:07.680 --> 00:54:13.440
Sorry. Um, anyways, I haven't rewatched

00:54:11.680 --> 00:54:16.480
it in a long time, but I've heard from a lot of people that whenever they rewatch

00:54:15.040 --> 00:54:21.960
Galaxy Quest, they're like, "Holy crap, this movie is awesome. It's still just

00:54:18.720 --> 00:54:24.640
as good. It is equally relevant."

00:54:21.960 --> 00:54:31.559
Um, yeah, it's it's not that often that you get a movie that that ages that well

00:54:27.200 --> 00:54:35.359
because nerds are still exactly the

00:54:31.559 --> 00:54:36.640
same as in 1994 or whenever that movie

00:54:35.359 --> 00:54:41.760
came out. I think it was actually a little later than that. Quest

00:54:38.839 --> 00:54:49.200
uh 2000. No, what couldn't have been 2008? That doesn't make any sense. Maybe

00:54:45.119 --> 00:54:52.480
it came on DVD then. 1999. 1990. Wow, it

00:54:49.200 --> 00:54:55.359
is pretty old. Holy crap. So, in 17

00:54:52.480 --> 00:54:58.640
years, nerds have not progressed at all. Not to mention the movie was probably

00:54:56.800 --> 00:55:02.319
being written a couple years before it was actually, you know, and then it went

00:55:00.559 --> 00:55:07.319
through filming and editing. So, like in 20 years. Yeah. Yeah. Not not a thing. I

00:55:05.119 --> 00:55:11.040
think you could say that. Um,

00:55:08.839 --> 00:55:15.520
okay. Let's see. Wow. We've actually covered a lot of the a lot of the best

00:55:12.720 --> 00:55:20.079
topics for today already. Um, oh yeah, the AMD RX 480 is a thing, but like we

00:55:17.920 --> 00:55:24.720
have a video on that. So, so another thing to add to the Florida man thing,

00:55:22.480 --> 00:55:29.839
um, yes, the US Patent and Trademark Office declared the application

00:55:26.480 --> 00:55:32.000
abandoned in 1995. Oh, I've been screen

00:55:29.839 --> 00:55:35.599
sharing for a while again. Great. I'm just really like not on my Did you do

00:55:33.760 --> 00:55:41.520
anything crazy? I don't think so. Okay, cool. Um, so yeah, there was that. Um,

00:55:39.760 --> 00:55:47.200
it also like if you scroll down a little bit, he had one where it's like

00:55:43.040 --> 00:55:49.920
basically a book and it like closes.

00:55:47.200 --> 00:55:55.000
Yeah. Okay. So, I think there's like writer and reader mode.

00:55:52.319 --> 00:56:01.280
Okay. So, it looks more like microphone antenna speaker optional solar cells.

00:55:59.440 --> 00:56:06.720
So, basically this is just like the scribblings of a of a dreamer. Yeah.

00:56:04.160 --> 00:56:13.040
He's like, "What's a cool thing? I'm going to put it in here." Awesome. Three

00:56:09.520 --> 00:56:15.599
and a half inch discat drive. How big is

00:56:13.040 --> 00:56:20.640
it supposed to be? It's 5 in by 3 and How is he planning to put a 3 and what?

00:56:18.720 --> 00:56:27.200
How's he planning to put a 3 and 1/2 in discet drive in a 5 and 1/2 in? And how

00:56:24.640 --> 00:56:31.520
big is this? So that's three and 3/4 in. Rechargeable battery is here. That's

00:56:28.960 --> 00:56:35.760
where the rechargeable battery is. Page forward is here. Uh numeric. So the

00:56:34.559 --> 00:56:40.960
whole typewriter keyboard with a spacebar that big is in half an inch because it's 5 and a half inches, right?

00:56:38.640 --> 00:56:45.119
No. Five and five inches to here by three and Oh yeah. No. Well, it looks

00:56:42.480 --> 00:56:50.200
maybe an inch. Let's let's say an inch. Wow, it's really small. Okay. Features

00:57:27.319 --> 00:57:31.599
Okay. Well, good luck with that,

00:57:32.599 --> 00:57:38.000
buddy. Good old Florida, man. You know,

00:57:35.839 --> 00:57:42.280
it would be kind of fun if the iPhone had an 80 megabyte hard drive and 2

00:57:40.480 --> 00:57:48.799
megabytes of RAM and a 16 megahertz processor. That

00:57:46.240 --> 00:57:54.720
sounds like the iPhone. Uh, what's the next topic? I

00:57:53.200 --> 00:58:01.920
don't know. I don't really know if I see much much else here. Oh, uh, this is

00:57:57.760 --> 00:58:06.040
just a quick one. Samsung has a 1 terbte

00:58:01.920 --> 00:58:10.400
M.2 NVMe SSD. the

00:58:06.040 --> 00:58:12.960
SM961. So, right now it's an SM961. So,

00:58:10.400 --> 00:58:18.160
that's an OEM OEM product. Tom's Hardware has a review up, but it is

00:58:15.920 --> 00:58:24.480
speculated that this would be uh this will be rebadged as some kind of a of a

00:58:20.960 --> 00:58:27.119
some 9 something Pro at some point here.

00:58:24.480 --> 00:58:33.280
So, maybe a 960 Pro or something along those lines. Very very

00:58:30.440 --> 00:58:41.280
interesting. It's like wicked fast. like what what one one terabyte at 512 bucks

00:58:37.040 --> 00:58:44.200
and 512 gigs at 280 bucks is pretty

00:58:41.280 --> 00:58:50.480
cool. That's pretty cool. I mean one honestly 480 gigs to 512 gigs is the SSD

00:58:48.880 --> 00:58:56.480
size where I really don't feel limited by it anymore. Yeah. Um I'm pretty

00:58:53.440 --> 00:58:58.720
comfortable with 256 still unless it's a

00:58:56.480 --> 00:59:03.760
gaming machine. Um, but if it's a gaming machine, I want my 500. I want my 500

00:59:01.520 --> 00:59:06.720
gigs, but one terabyte is at the point where I feel like I can be like a data

00:59:05.520 --> 00:59:12.079
packrat and I don't really have to clean up any after myself anymore. Yep. Not qu

00:59:09.280 --> 00:59:17.359
with the amount of I have a NAS. Yeah. My only thing is you said gaming

00:59:14.240 --> 00:59:21.520
machine and game load times can still be

00:59:17.359 --> 00:59:24.000
nicer. Yeah, but I don't mind putting a

00:59:21.520 --> 00:59:28.000
games that aren't important like Lego Batman is on a hard drive. Yeah. Yeah.

00:59:26.559 --> 00:59:31.760
just have a couple Steam libraries. There's no real reason not to do that.

00:59:29.680 --> 00:59:36.000
It's very easy. Actually, I made a video on it. I think it just came out. It's

00:59:33.359 --> 00:59:40.240
SSD hard drive optimization thing. It's really easy to have Steam have different

00:59:38.240 --> 00:59:44.920
save locations and it'll ask you every time. And it's it's actually really

00:59:42.680 --> 00:59:50.400
nice. Um there's where is it? Uh Activision

00:59:47.839 --> 00:59:54.960
issues DMCA takedown against developers of Orion Prelude. And then there's

00:59:53.200 --> 00:59:58.319
comparison images in there that you got to check out. I'll post the Steam

00:59:56.400 --> 01:00:03.400
article, but check out the comparison images here. I think the bottom one

01:00:01.839 --> 01:00:09.880
might be the best. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

01:00:06.920 --> 01:00:15.040
yeah. Um, yeah. Wait, sorry. So, this is

01:00:12.400 --> 01:00:19.559
supposed to prove Yeah, that Orion ripped off Black Ops. Yeah.

01:00:20.520 --> 01:00:25.839
So, uh, apparently it was taken down

01:00:23.599 --> 01:00:31.040
from the Steam stores due to the DMCA request. It is now back in the Steam

01:00:28.040 --> 01:00:33.280
stores. Um, the official quote says, "On

01:00:31.040 --> 01:00:38.079
behalf of Activision, who alleges that the game Orion used weapon art content

01:00:35.920 --> 01:00:43.599
from Call of Duty Black Ops 3 and Call of Duty Advanced Warfare. The weapon art

01:00:40.400 --> 01:00:46.640
in question includes the M8 A7 rifle,

01:00:43.599 --> 01:00:49.640
the Haymaker rifle, and the BAL 27

01:00:46.640 --> 01:00:49.640
rifle.

01:00:54.119 --> 01:01:00.400
What? Uh, the developers of Orion Prelude were not contacted or notified

01:00:58.640 --> 01:01:09.119
before their game was removed from Steam at all. Wow, that's pretty

01:01:05.480 --> 01:01:11.760
brutal. Um, a Reddit post on RPC Master

01:01:09.119 --> 01:01:16.720
Race goes into how the DMCA claim may be legitimate. And apparently some of the

01:01:13.599 --> 01:01:18.960
main uh points address that parts of the

01:01:16.720 --> 01:01:25.280
3D models are apparently exactly the same. So if you click on that one um

01:01:23.359 --> 01:01:29.160
yeah, let me bring up the uh the thingaboo here.

01:01:32.480 --> 01:01:37.760
That is actually a more interesting look at it because that's actually how you

01:01:35.920 --> 01:01:41.760
hold the gun in the game. So the images that were given up were of side isolated

01:01:40.319 --> 01:01:48.760
models that you don't really see in the game. Mhm. This is more when you're holding the firearm.

01:01:46.480 --> 01:01:54.480
At the same time, the red dot site is more telling

01:01:51.599 --> 01:02:03.280
to me than the iron sight because like the little area with the lights on it uh

01:01:59.000 --> 01:02:06.640
here and here. Yeah. Are actually just

01:02:03.280 --> 01:02:08.559
like a button panel. Mhm. And that could

01:02:06.640 --> 01:02:14.079
be taken from some other gun. I'm not sure. Um, and iron sights are pretty

01:02:11.200 --> 01:02:18.520
generic. And the side of that gun looks pretty generic. Um, the red dot site on

01:02:17.040 --> 01:02:23.880
the right, which they can't see. I'm sorry

01:02:20.799 --> 01:02:26.960
about that. Oh, sorry. Um, also

01:02:23.880 --> 01:02:30.040
looks a little generic, but I kind of

01:02:26.960 --> 01:02:32.720
see where they're probably coming from.

01:02:30.040 --> 01:02:36.720
Mhm. Okay. All right. Well, we'll see how this plays

01:02:33.960 --> 01:02:39.839
out. I'm not going to be the uh I'm not going to be the judge on this one. Yeah.

01:02:38.160 --> 01:02:43.040
I don't really know. I don't know how that legally plays in. I think we'd both

01:02:41.760 --> 01:02:47.960
need to know a lot more about different rifles. Like if that red dot site was

01:02:45.040 --> 01:02:54.240
taken from like something in real life, then who cares, right? Uh there's more

01:02:52.160 --> 01:02:59.319
rumors. So, original article here is Nintendo Inquirer.com. More rumors that

01:02:56.960 --> 01:03:05.119
the NX will be cartridgebased. Wow. Blast from the

01:03:02.440 --> 01:03:08.480
past. Possibly a good move to be perfectly honest. I think that's kind of

01:03:06.319 --> 01:03:14.400
cool. I might be the weird one there. I mean, I I don't see I've been wondering

01:03:10.839 --> 01:03:17.039
why media doesn't come on SD cards for a

01:03:14.400 --> 01:03:19.880
long time. Like a really long time. Well, not I've been wondering. I

01:03:18.319 --> 01:03:23.839
understand why. It's because they're cheap. It's because the companies that

01:03:22.240 --> 01:03:29.359
sell this stuff to us don't want to spend another, you know, 82 cents on uh

01:03:27.760 --> 01:03:35.760
on the media that they're giving us. They'd rather have something that costs

01:03:31.200 --> 01:03:37.440
82 cents less, a disc. Um, but basically

01:03:35.760 --> 01:03:41.920
in the final months before it's formally unveiled, blah blah blah blah blah blah.

01:03:39.200 --> 01:03:48.319
Admitted hoaxes, etc., etc., etc., but there's been, it looks like a trademark

01:03:44.319 --> 01:03:50.400
app. Um, hold on. So, NeoAF user

01:03:48.319 --> 01:03:54.559
Athereos noticed something in Nintendo US's trademark for The Legend of Zelda:

01:03:52.400 --> 01:03:59.440
Breath of the Wild. User goods and services section. Both video game discs

01:03:56.400 --> 01:04:01.920
and video game cartridges are listed.

01:03:59.440 --> 01:04:07.119
This contrasts with other Wii U software trademarks. So, it could be Nintendo's

01:04:05.039 --> 01:04:10.240
just updating their verbiage so that they can use the same thing for our

01:04:08.720 --> 01:04:16.480
portable games, which already use cartridges and um full-size console

01:04:13.520 --> 01:04:19.680
games. But I choose to believe that we're going to have a cartridge-based

01:04:17.839 --> 01:04:25.520
console again. That would be cool. Which would mean Nintendo only ever had three

01:04:22.160 --> 01:04:27.920
disc based consoles then.

01:04:25.520 --> 01:04:32.640
Yeah. Uh then again, so has Sony for that matter. So has

01:04:30.119 --> 01:04:35.520
Microsoft. So there you go. Right. the GameCube. I always forget about the

01:04:34.240 --> 01:04:39.119
GameCube. Yeah, the Gamecube was a thing. Just because no one cared.

01:04:37.760 --> 01:04:43.680
Doesn't mean that it wasn't a thing. It's the I didn't have an NES when I was

01:04:41.119 --> 01:04:48.319
a kid. Um I had friends that had them. We just didn't have one. So, I had a SNS

01:04:45.599 --> 01:04:53.760
and N64. Then I never had a GameCube. And then I like very luckily got a Wii

01:04:51.359 --> 01:04:58.079
pretty early on. And then I have my Wii U. So, I just completely skipped that

01:04:55.280 --> 01:05:02.319
whole segment. All right, let's go ahead and uh fire up Twitter over there. I

01:05:00.880 --> 01:05:06.240
don't even know if it Yeah, it's not really set up anymore. We don't really

01:05:04.400 --> 01:05:12.640
use it that often. Let's just go ahead and boopity. Right about there.

01:05:08.720 --> 01:05:16.880
Ohippity. Oh, that did not work. Oh,

01:05:12.640 --> 01:05:18.839
that was supposed to work. Uh, add

01:05:16.880 --> 01:05:21.839
screen capture.

01:05:22.119 --> 01:05:28.720
Um, okay. Let's see if that works this.

01:05:26.160 --> 01:05:35.520
No. Okay. Okay. Well, then I will just I will just read tweets. Um oh, uh I've

01:05:32.720 --> 01:05:40.640
had this problem before. I I think it might be that browser. Um but what you

01:05:38.559 --> 01:05:45.039
do is minimize the browser, highlight the area where it is, bring the browser

01:05:42.319 --> 01:05:50.079
back up, and it works. What a chore. I know. It's super

01:05:47.920 --> 01:05:55.480
annoying. I don't know if it's exploit or if it's the browser or what. Kind of

01:05:51.920 --> 01:05:55.480
guess it's like thereish.

01:05:57.960 --> 01:06:04.799
Oh yeah, this is my pain. I had to do it

01:06:02.000 --> 01:06:08.359
during the charity stream that I did. Was super annoying.

01:06:10.480 --> 01:06:18.000
Good enough. All right, there you go. Uh, bring back Dennis. Cheer up you two.

01:06:16.000 --> 01:06:22.000
You're both so down today. Well, we both had kind of rough weeks. Uh, Twitchbot

01:06:20.240 --> 01:06:26.839
is timing everyone out for using the uptime command. Is this intentional? I

01:06:24.319 --> 01:06:32.319
don't know. I wanted Nutella. Hail poodles. Uh, I'm just glad

01:06:30.880 --> 01:06:37.760
the media didn't make as big of a deal as it as they usually

01:06:34.359 --> 01:06:40.240
do. Um, I think there's still time for

01:06:37.760 --> 01:06:40.240
them to do

01:06:41.640 --> 01:06:48.119
that. You need some tech tips. JK just

01:06:45.520 --> 01:06:54.400
did a little love W show. Oh, we've got people commenting on

01:06:50.960 --> 01:06:56.079
my uh on my leak there. That's okay. All

01:06:54.400 --> 01:07:01.200
that information is completely out of date now, which is really good. Yep. Yay

01:06:58.720 --> 01:07:05.599
for doing things quickly. Whoa. You get over the border easily.

01:07:03.119 --> 01:07:11.200
What? Um, still safer

01:07:07.799 --> 01:07:14.079
than 100% people on the road. Yep. So,

01:07:11.200 --> 01:07:21.039
that's a good point. Oh, yeah. So, a lot of Oh, I don't like autopilot. I like to

01:07:17.039 --> 01:07:23.039
drive by myself. All right. Yeah.

01:07:21.039 --> 01:07:26.240
Yeah. See, James says, "My uncle's Model S tells you to constantly keep your

01:07:24.240 --> 01:07:30.720
hands on the wheel." Yeah, that's what it's supposed to do. Time magnets. How

01:07:28.880 --> 01:07:35.039
do they work? Would you consider buying an autonomous

01:07:32.480 --> 01:07:40.160
car and Yeah. No, I would. Too expensive. Well, okay. Right. Other than

01:07:37.039 --> 01:07:42.880
that, I would consider it.

01:07:40.160 --> 01:07:45.839
Fair. I Yes. Okay. I would as well. And then I would go, it is too expensive.

01:07:44.400 --> 01:07:52.319
And then I would stop considering it. Okay. Let's bring up the uh let's bring up the straw poll results since it seems

01:07:49.359 --> 01:07:56.400
like that pretty much tells us the answer

01:07:53.240 --> 01:07:58.799
here. 74% of you are still comfortable

01:07:56.400 --> 01:08:04.000
with autonomous vehicles in spite of the death. Well, you're talking to nerds. Um

01:08:01.839 --> 01:08:08.880
nerds are probably done with math. I prefer to call them a techsavvy

01:08:06.079 --> 01:08:13.599
audience. Nerd. I know. I think it's okay when you call

01:08:11.359 --> 01:08:17.199
yourself the thing. Anyways, um they're probably more down with numbers and

01:08:15.280 --> 01:08:21.520
statistics and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and they're seeing

01:08:19.279 --> 01:08:26.239
mathematically it is better. So they're going okay mathematically it's better

01:08:24.080 --> 01:08:29.120
until we have a bigger sample size and maybe it's not better anymore. That's

01:08:27.679 --> 01:08:36.640
also true. I mean we could have another death tomorrow and all of a sudden that

01:08:31.440 --> 01:08:38.799
would make it uh sign as much worse than

01:08:36.640 --> 01:08:42.719
people operating vehicles as now it is better. And there's also the thing that

01:08:41.040 --> 01:08:50.400
I've been seeing from the start. Yeah. Um, which is what I'm afraid of is

01:08:47.080 --> 01:08:52.159
uh it potentially going haywire instead

01:08:50.400 --> 01:08:55.240
of just not detecting something, driving through it and crashing, right? It going

01:08:54.080 --> 01:09:03.640
nuts. Um, that's scary because a human driver

01:09:04.120 --> 01:09:11.000
unless can Yeah, they can they can go haywire. Unless malicious isn't going to

01:09:08.319 --> 01:09:16.080
like if they crash into something I don't know like cuz that's

01:09:14.319 --> 01:09:22.400
going to cause the big the big media problem. Oh, like if one just spazzes

01:09:20.000 --> 01:09:28.159
out on one decides between the driver's life and the pedestrian's life

01:09:25.239 --> 01:09:33.440
when there's a valid problem there which is if someone goes nuts and drives over

01:09:31.040 --> 01:09:37.759
a bunch of people Yeah. you put them in jail. Yeah. If an AI goes nuts and

01:09:36.480 --> 01:09:41.920
drives over a bunch of people, you go, "Oh my god, this thing is installed in

01:09:39.679 --> 01:09:45.719
everything." Yeah. What do we do? Yeah. And that's a valid question.

01:09:45.839 --> 01:09:51.120
All right. So, thank you guys for tuning in to the WAN Show. We hope you enjoyed

01:09:49.199 --> 01:09:57.040
the show as much as we did this week. Actually, it was kind of a nice distraction today. Um although actually

01:09:55.199 --> 01:10:03.360
for a lot of today, I was working on a really cool project. Uh, I am calling

01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:07.760
this project the most comfortable gaming

01:10:03.360 --> 01:10:09.679
setup ever. And Luke thought I was like,

01:10:07.760 --> 01:10:15.440
what what did you think I was doing with this? Uh, I thought he was trolling. I I

01:10:11.880 --> 01:10:18.880
I thought that you were uh How much can

01:10:15.440 --> 01:10:21.920
I describe it? Um, I haven't disclosed

01:10:18.880 --> 01:10:24.960
what makes it comfortable yet. I have So

01:10:21.920 --> 01:10:27.040
here, so I have tweeted uh pictures of

01:10:24.960 --> 01:10:31.440
the room. Okay. So I've tweeted like this. So that room is really small. I've

01:10:29.520 --> 01:10:37.920
been in there. I've tried to stand in there, etc., etc. It's small and like

01:10:34.239 --> 01:10:40.080
kind of cramped. Yeah, exactly. So I've

01:10:37.920 --> 01:10:45.040
I've experienced the room. So when he says the most comfortable gaming room

01:10:42.000 --> 01:10:46.640
ever, and I know the the back cramping

01:10:45.040 --> 01:10:49.760
that I had to do in order to get in there, my mind is going he's going to

01:10:48.480 --> 01:10:54.239
shove a whole bunch of tech in there because he's told me what he's shoving in there and it's going to be way too

01:10:52.880 --> 01:10:58.159
much. He's going to be cramped and he's going to make like a funny video about

01:10:55.920 --> 01:11:00.800
how he just had to have all these things so he made it work. That's what I

01:10:59.520 --> 01:11:06.000
thought the plan was. I thought it was going to be a funny video. No, it's

01:11:03.360 --> 01:11:09.679
going to be a badass video. Yeah. All right. So, we will see you guys again

01:11:07.760 --> 01:11:13.760
next week. Same bad time, same bad channel. Thank you very much for

01:11:11.600 --> 01:11:18.120
watching. I don't know what that means. Oh, the

01:11:14.880 --> 01:11:22.640
intro. The intro. Oh,

01:11:18.120 --> 01:11:26.000
Canada, our true north's native stream.

01:11:22.640 --> 01:11:26.000
Can you find out what he's talking

01:11:35.880 --> 01:11:38.880
about?
