1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,960
cuz like all the way over I still don't really fit. That's what she said. Yeah,

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:09,760
it's wed show time and we managed to get

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:15,599
a that's what she said before the proper intro. Before the intro right at the

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:17,520
start we are fast like that. You're just

5
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:23,279
like you're you're thinking you're thinking oh it's about to and it's over.

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:25,039
Yep. Yep. Just Okay, we've got a great

7
00:00:23,279 --> 00:00:34,079
show for you guys today. World record speed. Um, first we get to admit that we

8
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:37,680
were not only slightly wrong, but also

9
00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:40,399
slightly ignorant and a little bit dumb.

10
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:46,239
So, that'll be coming later. Uh, which I wasn't able to research at all

11
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:51,160
because I can't look at this. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's that's fine. Don't

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:55,199
worry. I got this. Thanks. Um, HTC's

13
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:56,879
keyboard is showing ads to users of

14
00:00:55,199 --> 00:00:59,680
their phones. Apparently, it might not really be their fault, but it's because

15
00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:06,640
of something or whatever. Whatever. We'll get into it later. So, that's brilliant. This just in an ASUS Thread

16
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:12,560
Ripper motherboard. There are now unboxing pictures. It looks awesome.

17
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:19,520
I've held it. Oh, it feels awesome. I'm sure it does. And the ROG Crosshair 6

18
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,520
Extreme has been

19
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:28,439
announced. So yeah, I guess I guess a drum. Roll a drum.

20
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:34,880
Dang it. I don't have Twitch open yet, nerd. Neither do I. Damn

21
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:46,439
it. I believe that is pretty much the definition of wrecked, son.

22
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:46,439
I got it.

23
00:01:47,759 --> 00:01:54,079
Hold on. I'm sure we had sponsors, but I have to post that the WAN Show is live

24
00:01:52,159 --> 00:02:01,960
on social media. That's what I usually do. Well, thank you to Savage Turkey.

25
00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:01,960
Fresh bugs.

26
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,680
Macelog tech.

27
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:14,640
Jingles are a lost art. We should uh we should make another album.

28
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:17,840
Oh, okay. I've wanted to do a non-Christ

29
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:20,400
themed album for a while. I know, but I

30
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:23,920
didn't we learn our lesson last time. No, it did really well. Okay. Well,

31
00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:29,520
there are different ways to learn your lesson. Okay. So, so for those of you

32
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:31,920
not familiar it must Wow, it was over a

33
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:38,560
year and a half ago. Long time ago. Over a year and a half ago, we had the

34
00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:42,319
hairbrained idea. I don't remember whose

35
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:44,640
idea it was. Was it you? Was it me? It

36
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:47,760
was you. Was it me? I'm not taking full credit for it. I'll take partial credit

37
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:52,560
for it. Other people were complicit in this. Okay. I was more than complicit. I

38
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:56,879
was Yeah. So, this was a thing that we as a team I don't think it was my idea,

39
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:01,200
but I definitely championed. Yeah. Okay. So, we created a Christmas album. We

40
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:09,120
took a bunch of classic Christmas songs and we rewrote the lyrics uh with

41
00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:12,159
technology as as sort of a theme. And it

42
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:14,239
um it was awful. Yeah. Like the lyrics

43
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:20,000
were actually not as bad as you might expect because I took what some other

44
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:25,760
people wrote and made very few alterations because they were quite good

45
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:31,760
or completely redid because they were done by Colton. Yeah. Yeah. John and I

46
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:35,680
sat down like together outside of work hours and wrote a few songs that were

47
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:40,080
like pretty solid. Yeah. I believe Nick's Nick lights were pretty good.

48
00:03:37,519 --> 00:03:45,120
Nick did a few. Yeah, Colton's were terrible. They were really bad. I was

49
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,799
like, "Do you even English, bro?" They

50
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:53,120
were a little rough. So, I redid those ones. But anyway, and then without any

51
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:55,040
rehearsals, Nacho Mist, which like

52
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:59,360
that's a reputable name right there, says that it was actually fantastic.

53
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:04,959
Okay, thanks, Nacho Mist. And we actually sold quite a few of them. So, I

54
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,519
was I was getting to that part. Um, are you checking? Which I'm going to check.

55
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:13,519
You're checking, aren't you? Which might mean that we're going to sell none of them next time cuz people have now seen

56
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,360
what we can do. Yeah. Um, so, so anyway,

57
00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:20,560
so we we did I think it was like nine or 10 songs, something like that. So we

58
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:22,400
without any rehearsals and without any

59
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:26,880
screening, so no matter who they were, if they were on staff at Linus Media

60
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:33,400
Group, they had to sing for the Christmas album. And um, we sold, how

61
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:41,199
many of them did we sell? sold 924 for a grand total of $2,772.

62
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:43,919
So, we not even close to made back the

63
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:49,520
time we spent on it. Nope. There's also ad revenue,

64
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:53,840
which I can look up for you right now. Oh, I don't know if we can say it. Sure.

65
00:04:52,080 --> 00:05:00,240
Yeah, let's let's I don't think anyone's going to care. Okay. You know what? We

66
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:01,759
may have actually turned off um

67
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:06,800
monetization. We may have turned off monetization cuz we wanted as many

68
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:09,039
people as possible to watch the uh the

69
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:14,560
video advertising it. So, we released it as something that almost looked like a

70
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:20,080
joke. No, we did. We monetized it. So, we released this video that almost

71
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:22,160
looked like a joke and um and then we're

72
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:28,320
way too serious about it and then you actually could buy it.

73
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:33,520
Um, like th this is this is real. This

74
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,520
is not a joke at all.

75
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:38,320
Um, look at Ed back

76
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:43,560
there. Nick's like into it.

77
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:52,880
My favorite thing this whole time is looking at Colton's face cuz this if if

78
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:57,280
you see like the behind the scenes, Lannis has just been grilling Colton the whole time. So Colton's just sitting on

79
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:03,600
the couch. I don't even think he's singing like half the time. Just completely dead pan. It's great. Another

80
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:09,800
interesting thing, the reason why I know that this sold fairly well is that I get

81
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:12,800
emailed every single time someone buys

82
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,319
it. Every time. So like every few

83
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,360
months. It's not that common anymore because it's been so long, right? But

84
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:21,600
someone will see this in the download section and just be like, "What and just

85
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:27,680
buy it for fun?" So, we brought in another $400 heck from the 275,000 views

86
00:06:25,919 --> 00:06:33,520
on that video. So, that's over three grand, man. So, that makes you want to

87
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:39,919
do another one. Well, that was back in in 2015. We probably get more views now.

88
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:44,720
Okay. So, tell you what, we've matured as a professional. Uh Oh, shut up. Uh

89
00:06:45,919 --> 00:06:53,919
I'm going I'm going full on bean spiller

90
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:57,840
here. We are not doing another album

91
00:06:53,919 --> 00:06:59,360
like in that form. A you don't want to

92
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:04,120
you don't want to spill it? I'm not going to tell you. No, no, I want to make another album. No, no, we're not

93
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:09,120
doing another album. All right. But there will be sometime in I'm not

94
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:16,000
going to promise a time frame other than like in the next few months because this is a fairly large project and we want to

95
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:19,400
do it right. There will be a tech themed

96
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:23,080
like fairly high production

97
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:26,000
value music video coming from Linus Tech

98
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:29,759
Tips in that time frame which if it does well enough might end up being able to

99
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:35,039
go into an album if we do enough of them. Okay. Have you heard the song? No,

100
00:07:33,199 --> 00:07:39,599
there's a song. It's recorded already. The the the the actual melody. Okay. No,

101
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:45,280
I haven't heard this already. I haven't heard it with some placeholder lyrics.

102
00:07:41,919 --> 00:07:47,199
Very placeholder, but like it's pretty

103
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:54,319
catchy. I haven't heard it. It's pretty catchy. Is this You bet. Okay. Awesome.

104
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:56,080
Yeah. So, it's This is something that um

105
00:07:54,319 --> 00:08:01,120
that that we've been talking about actually for probably about 3 years.

106
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:05,360
Well, before the Christmas holiday, well before we were in this office. Yeah. So,

107
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:09,919
uh that's that's definitely a thing that's happening.

108
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:16,560
Um other things that are happening. So, the 16K gaming

109
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:23,280
setup, I hope I'm not really spoiling anything, but I just came back from

110
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:25,039
filming the final video for that. So, uh

111
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:28,720
that's that's coming very soon as well. That's awesome. And no, it is not a baby

112
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:35,560
parody. As much as I would love to do that a baby parody baby baby.

113
00:08:33,839 --> 00:08:41,919
Yeah. No, it's not that. All

114
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:44,399
right. So, I don't know what just

115
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:48,480
happened there. I don't know. Wow. I don't know what this I don't know what

116
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:52,560
this is, but actually where this conversation took place was on my

117
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:58,959
personal Twitter. So, the only way I'm going to be able to u the only way up.

118
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:02,640
So, let's kick the show off with me kind

119
00:08:58,959 --> 00:09:04,720
of admitting that I may have made a bit

120
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:10,000
of a mistake. So, first of all, there was the news from Tech PowerUp from last

121
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:12,959
week. Intel says AMD Epic processors

122
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:17,920
glued together in official slide deck. And to be clear, that was far from the

123
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:24,200
only thing wrong with this slide deck. We we went kind of ham on Intel slide

124
00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:30,720
deck being unprofessional, childish, uh undignified, you pretty much name it.

125
00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:33,040
And I'm not backpedaling on the bulk of

126
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:36,800
that, but um there's also a post on the forum

127
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:44,800
here. This is this was posted by uh Johnny

128
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:46,959
Johnny Corporal Tech and AMD basically

129
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:50,640
produced a couple slides going like actually okay you know we have some

130
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:53,600
partners their partner list isn't as long but at least it doesn't have any

131
00:09:52,080 --> 00:10:00,959
duplicate entries on it so we got to give them credit for the partners that they do list are pretty big deal.

132
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:03,360
Yep. But there was something that I did

133
00:10:00,959 --> 00:10:12,000
kind of screw up because I was not familiar with this particular technical

134
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:14,000
term. So Dr. Cutras from Anontech made a

135
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:18,399
point. I can't believe he watches the WAN Show. I don't know why he would. Um

136
00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:24,959
I like that. Thank you. Yeah. Thanks, Ian. Hi. Uh made a point of messaging me

137
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:26,720
via DM. FYI, he's so polite. Was it

138
00:10:24,959 --> 00:10:32,320
okay? He's so British. Is it accurate though? Uh, if Ian says so, I'm kind of

139
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:34,959
going for Did he say it's accurate? So, here's what he said. It being a term is

140
00:10:33,839 --> 00:10:41,279
different than it being accurate. Here's what he said word for word. FYI, glued

141
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:45,600
together is a technical term. Okay.

142
00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:48,680
Infinity fabric is a glue logic fabric,

143
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:51,360
okay, and a common semiconductor

144
00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:55,279
microarchchitecture term. and he linked me to a Wikipedia article because while

145
00:10:53,760 --> 00:11:00,240
he is a very polite person, he's British, that doesn't mean he can't get

146
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,920
a little snarky. He's British. You'll

147
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:05,360
see it in a lot of semiconductor research papers to deal with data

148
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:10,240
movement around silicon or between chips. Examples include PCI Express,

149
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:15,720
Envy Link, etc. In case you were unaware, I feel like it and thanks for

150
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:18,560
the shout out. I feel like it was being

151
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:25,360
used. I feel like the way they were using it in the context of all the other

152
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:27,519
slides was still pretty be mode. Yeah.

153
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:31,040
Um, and it can it can be a technical term and that actually makes sense that

154
00:11:29,279 --> 00:11:36,079
it's a I'm not surprised at all. I thought it was incorrect because I

155
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:41,480
thought their form of link I wasn't applicable to that. Yeah. But I think

156
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:49,839
it's still BS the way. But there you go. So, I'm I'm backpedaling on the outrage

157
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:52,000
over saying that Epic is glued together.

158
00:11:49,839 --> 00:11:55,440
You heard it here first, but I'm not backpedaling over the rest of the

159
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:59,360
nonsense that was in that slide deck. I'm I'm I'm I'm still a little bit for

160
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:06,399
the outrage on that comment. It was It was structured in a very angry

161
00:12:02,399 --> 00:12:10,320
aggressive way. I don't know. All right,

162
00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:14,480
speaking of outrage, HTC's keyboard

163
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:18,800
Yeah. is showing ads to its users. I

164
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:21,360
mean, oh, okay. Okay, here we go. HTC is

165
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:26,720
working on a fix is the update. I love it when they use the term fix to

166
00:12:24,079 --> 00:12:32,880
describe something that wasn't broken. Okay, to be fair, for this situation,

167
00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:36,240
TouchPal is the keyboard and HTC uses

168
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:38,399
TouchPal keyboard. So, what HTC thinks

169
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:42,160
is or what people think is going on here is that

170
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:47,360
TouchPal ran an update that started serving ads through the keyboard and HTC

171
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:51,760
was like, "Whoa, what the heck?" and is now trying to stop this from happening.

172
00:12:49,839 --> 00:12:56,240
So, I don't think it was like HTC actively doing anything. I just think it

173
00:12:54,399 --> 00:13:00,959
was HTC losing control of something that they use. Here's what I don't

174
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:07,279
understand. Why are they using TouchPal keyboard? I don't know.

175
00:13:04,639 --> 00:13:12,320
I don't know. I can't That part has continued to be confusing for me.

176
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:16,959
SwiftKey is free. Yeah. Well, Swift Key might be free in

177
00:13:14,959 --> 00:13:23,760
the context of an end user downloading it, but Swift Key might not be free to

178
00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:26,720
uh a skin maker wanting to, right? But

179
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:31,519
but Google keyboard Google keyboard is fine and it's free. Like it's not my

180
00:13:28,959 --> 00:13:38,000
favorite. I don't use it. I don't like it. But I don't not like it any more

181
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:40,320
than any other piece of trash keyboard.

182
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:44,880
Samsung's is Touchpal. Terrible. I've never used Touch Pal. I'm not a fan of

183
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:49,200
Touchp. Okay. Yeah. Um they're they're they're all pretty garbo. Um and the

184
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:53,440
only reason I like Swift Key is because there's a few little customizations that

185
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:56,800
I make to it that make it very very usable. So I shorten the long press so

186
00:13:55,680 --> 00:14:03,279
you can get it all your special characters without switching keyboards. Not all, but the vast majority of them.

187
00:14:00,399 --> 00:14:06,959
So, it makes it faster to use. I don't I don't flow type. So, some people tell me

188
00:14:05,199 --> 00:14:10,760
that Swift Keys flow is not very good. Don't care. Don't flow. I don't do that

189
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:15,199
either. Um, and that's that's pretty much it

190
00:14:13,839 --> 00:14:21,600
actually. That's pretty much all Yeah, I'm at the point where using other keyboards feels weird. But the

191
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:23,600
prediction of Swift Key is fantastic.

192
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:27,440
Like, I can basically look away and kind of like mash at my keyboard and it's

193
00:14:25,519 --> 00:14:32,720
going to be like, "Did you mean?" I'm like, "Yeah, pretty much." If if I'm on

194
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:37,519
a computer that I don't often use, I like can't type anymore. I know because

195
00:14:35,279 --> 00:14:42,320
I know we've all turned like helpless. I I like definitely run typos pretty much

196
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:46,800
all the time and Swift Key is just like I'll do all this, everything will be

197
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:50,800
fine. Another creepy thing in that same vein right now is Google's auto

198
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:56,480
predictions for email. Have you seen that? I've seen it on um I've seen it on

199
00:14:54,160 --> 00:15:02,000
my uh on my mobile app. I only get it on my phone. And then on here, send me an

200
00:14:59,519 --> 00:15:05,040
email. It's going to take a second. Yeah. Well,

201
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:10,800
no. Maybe I can. Hold on. Maybe I got one here. You probably Oh, no. Here. Yeah. Yeah, I got one. So, on here, I

202
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:15,040
get all kinds of stuff. So, I can click reply. So, I can use voice. Or I can

203
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:18,639
say, "Okay, yes, no. Thumbs up. Smiley. Sad heart. Lol. Thanks. Got it done.

204
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:24,000
Nice. I don't know what. Why? What's up?" Okay. Give me a moment. On my way.

205
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:29,199
Sounds good. Big happy face. Very sad face. And a heart.

206
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:32,079
That's just too many options. I know. By the time I scroll through all that, I

207
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:36,880
could take my phone out. In the actual app, there's just three usually.

208
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:42,399
Um uh but like I don't know that I I

209
00:15:39,839 --> 00:15:46,160
actually like it because it start but in because it's so creepy that it's

210
00:15:43,839 --> 00:15:49,360
starting to get really good. Like it started I was even talking to John about

211
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:54,160
it. It has started suggesting responses that sound more like something that I

212
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,600
would actually say. Oh, mine hasn't

213
00:15:54,160 --> 00:16:00,000
really gotten any better. I don't use it. Mine's gotten better. Huh. And I've

214
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:04,480
rarely used it. I think it's just farming the data from my Gmail. That's

215
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:10,639
very interesting. Like I got one that was like, "Okay, great. That's awesome."

216
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:12,720
And I was like, "That's exactly what I

217
00:16:10,639 --> 00:16:15,600
was going to type." Yeah. So, the next step is when it doesn't even bother

218
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,480
asking you to press the button. It just does it. It's just like boop. You can

219
00:16:17,279 --> 00:16:23,759
delete it if you want, but it's already there. Yeah. Yeah. Really pretty epic.

220
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:29,079
All right. I don't know how we got here, but I think we're now on ASUS Threadripper Mobile unboxing. Yeah. So, this

221
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:35,600
is from videocards.com. So, honestly, there's

222
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:37,199
not a whole lot to it. Um, the only

223
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:41,279
thing that was miss So, I've seen the board already. The only thing that was

224
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:45,199
missing was the accessories, but now we're able to have a look at what is

225
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:49,279
included. So, there's some kind of PCI Express riser card. I'm going to guess

226
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:52,560
that's like M.2 or something. What is the point of doing an unboxing like this

227
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:57,279
and leaving all the stuff in the packaging? Did they really do that?

228
00:16:54,720 --> 00:17:04,120
Okay, so yeah, here's an M.2 Riser Doodad uh four-way SLI bridge. Why? I

229
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:09,839
guess if this is like um like a a just for benchmarking type

230
00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:15,439
of product that it's pretty high-end, so might make sense. Um be super surprised.

231
00:17:13,199 --> 00:17:20,720
We've got like a GPU support bracket. It looks like we've got uh

232
00:17:18,120 --> 00:17:26,559
ginormal Wi-Fi antennas. So, this is going to have like ad Wi-Fi, I think. Uh

233
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:33,760
big page of stickers. There's a PC Ethernet card.

234
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:36,440
This is what I don't get. You know, why?

235
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:43,679
And this is coming from someone who actually

236
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:46,679
made his mark like and and built his

237
00:17:43,679 --> 00:17:50,400
career on unboxing

238
00:17:46,679 --> 00:17:52,840
videos. Why did unboxing videos ever

239
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:58,640
need to exist when you could just have this? I mean, yes, this is sort of a

240
00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:04,480
crap job they did of it, but like if you could just have I think it's uh harder

241
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:10,919
to do like you can do a really really crap job with a video unboxing and it

242
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,919
can still be better than this.

243
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:16,240
Do you know what I'm saying? But I I can see like I've watched a lot of I've

244
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:20,160
watched a lot Yeah. But it doesn't necessarily m No, not really. Look how

245
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:24,000
much light glint is on these freaking packages. I mean, this is a This one

246
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:28,799
literally has the anti-atic on it. You can't tell what it is. That's useless.

247
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:33,360
This is literally useless. This is also useless. So is that. Is that a box of

248
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:36,960
something? I can't tell. All these other things have light glint on it. I can't tell what the vast majority of these

249
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:42,480
things are. Okay. All right. Right. Right. Right. Okay. But assuming this picture wasn't taken by like But that's

250
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:47,440
the point. If it's a video, it'll be moving. You'll probably be able to see better what it is. So you'll be able to

251
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:52,160
Okay. So you're Are you really making the argument I think Hold on. Hold on.

252
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:55,919
You're telling me that video is better because you could watch frame by frame

253
00:18:53,919 --> 00:19:01,679
and maybe see the like part where you could I have for like really weird niche

254
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:04,160
products. I have watched terrible like

255
00:19:01,679 --> 00:19:07,919
cell phone in the hand one hand unboxing videos of it to try to figure out what's

256
00:19:05,919 --> 00:19:11,039
actually going on and like kind of scrubbed through it so I could see

257
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:13,000
better because it was that bad and it has answered questions that I've been

258
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:19,440
looking for. I've had it work for me.

259
00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:21,000
Okay. All right. I'll let it slide on

260
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:26,120
this one. Um, also announced is the Crosshair

261
00:19:24,799 --> 00:19:31,520
6 Extreme. So,

262
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:38,080
they're uh they're finally going full high-end on

263
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:40,640
AM4. So, RGB lighting blah blah blah for

264
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:46,160
more than a decade. It really it really does speak to the industry's confidence

265
00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:55,200
in Ryzen. Yeah. that we're finally seeing truly high-end boards because I

266
00:19:49,039 --> 00:19:58,000
would have AMD fans complain that like

267
00:19:55,200 --> 00:20:05,280
all the good boards are for Intel. Yeah. And it's like Yeah.

268
00:20:01,559 --> 00:20:09,840
Because other than like a handful of

269
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:13,440
people who are completely blind to the

270
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:17,679
products that exist, other than them,

271
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:21,200
anybody else with, you know, $200 plus

272
00:20:17,679 --> 00:20:23,799
dollars to spend on a board is buying an

273
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:29,440
Intel chip right now. Sorry.

274
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:35,919
And the motherboard manufacturers, they don't just they don't just know this

275
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:38,559
from like a they have an ounce of sense

276
00:20:35,919 --> 00:20:44,880
and can read a benchmark chart. They know this from a they are seeing actual

277
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:50,400
real sales numbers. Yeah. As AMD's lineup gets more and more and more

278
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:55,600
irrelevant. At this point in time, if I was building a new system, I would be

279
00:20:52,720 --> 00:21:00,000
very heavily looking at AMD, which isn't something that I've been able to say for

280
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:02,480
a very long time. and seeing this kind

281
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:08,000
of variety in the products that are available. Seeing someone like ASUS go,

282
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:15,280
okay, sure. Yeah, we've got the confidence to put the R&D behind what

283
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:18,159
will probably be a $300 to $400 board US

284
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:23,039
to put the R&D behind it because we know that we're going to get enough of even

285
00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:26,720
this kind of high-end product moved off the shelf that we're going to recoup

286
00:21:24,799 --> 00:21:36,760
that cost and maybe even make some money. to see that is really confidence

287
00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:36,760
inspiring. I am I am just stoked. Um

288
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:43,039
yeah, man. I don't really know. I don't really know what else to say about that.

289
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:46,960
I don't necessarily have the same confidence in Vega. Um, you're gonna

290
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:52,880
have to wait for you're gonna have to wait for the video to see the full kind

291
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:55,520
of rant, but Frontier Edition is like

292
00:21:52,880 --> 00:22:02,799
far more of a piece of garbage than other reviews necessarily indicated. So,

293
00:21:59,159 --> 00:22:05,919
our our review of it is basically like

294
00:22:02,799 --> 00:22:11,880
this is this is an early access game.

295
00:22:05,919 --> 00:22:17,360
Like this is this is paying more for

296
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:20,640
like access to the select DLC so that

297
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:23,600
you can have the buggy gaming experience

298
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:27,280
and then not even get the like expansion pack that you then have to go and buy

299
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:35,039
anyway. That's when they actually fix it.

300
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:37,679
Like it's a bad product.

301
00:22:35,039 --> 00:22:40,360
I'm really excited for that video. Yeah, it's it's going to be one of those ones

302
00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:45,919
where like the vast majority of the people who

303
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:50,880
watch it are going to be sensible people who can look at the the comment section

304
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:54,559
in there is going to be horrible. So, so there's going to be So, I'm I'm talking

305
00:22:52,480 --> 00:23:00,640
thumbs up, thumbs down. Okay. So there's going to be the the the vast majority of

306
00:22:57,360 --> 00:23:02,880
like sensible people who can look at at

307
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:08,320
facts objectively and who can look at benchmarks objectively and who don't

308
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:12,960
leave a comment because they just aren't that invested in it. And then there's

309
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:17,360
going to be everybody else who engages with this video and is

310
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:20,240
like and that's exactly what those people sound like. Like even the other

311
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:23,840
side of the pool, cuz you're talking about people that would dislike

312
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,880
something because you dislike something that is from AMD. Even from the other

313
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:30,640
side of the pool, we were just talking about how cool this stuff is. This Oh, I

314
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:36,960
guess they can't see it on screen, but on online is the screen right now. This AMD stuff. Um, and someone in the chat

315
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:42,480
in Twitch chat, I saw just scroll through. All caps everything. AMD.

316
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:52,360
No, no, no further information or

317
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:54,720
contacts. Just my this is my

318
00:23:52,360 --> 00:24:00,880
opinion. I don't think that's cool cuz it's AMD.

319
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:03,200
I didn't ask. Yeah, but thanks, I guess.

320
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:06,320
I don't know. There's there there's people on each side. There there's

321
00:24:04,559 --> 00:24:09,760
there's Intel fanboys, there AMD fanboys, there's NVIDIA fanboys, and

322
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:14,640
everybody hates each other. Yeah, everybody now the whole chat is just AMD

323
00:24:11,919 --> 00:24:19,840
no AMD no. All right. Thank you. Thank you everyone. That's wonderful. I

324
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:21,760
appreciate it. All right. Uh next in the

325
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:26,640
news. So this was originally posted by Johnny Corporal Tech on the forum and

326
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:29,640
our original article here is from CBC.ca.

327
00:24:29,679 --> 00:24:37,360
The dark web's largest illegal marketplace founded by a Canadian Oops.

328
00:24:35,360 --> 00:24:43,600
I didn't know that. shut down by the US.

329
00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:49,120
All right, so let's get into this one a little bit. So the US Justice Department

330
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:55,919
has officially shut down the dark web marketplace Alpha Bay, a site 10 times

331
00:24:52,960 --> 00:25:01,440
as large as Silk Road, accused of allowing hundreds of thousands of people

332
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:04,000
to buy and sell drugs, firearms,

333
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:10,080
computer hacking tools, and other illicit goods. Cuz remember, there's

334
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:14,320
lots of illegal stuff besides like drugs

335
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:16,720
and guns. Like for example, um like a

336
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:20,720
cell phone signal jammer would be the kind of thing that totally definitely

337
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:28,480
exists. Super definitely is everywhere, but is

338
00:25:25,039 --> 00:25:30,240
illegal to own or operate in pretty much

339
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:34,640
any developed nation, I would think. Yeah, definitely Canada. Yeah. Um, so,

340
00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:38,799
so that's the kind of thing that could end up on a site like this. The

341
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:43,960
operation included the arrest of suspected Alphabet founder Alexandre

342
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:48,880
Kazes Kaz, a 25-year-old Canadian citizen

343
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:53,360
arrested on behalf of the United States in Thailand.

344
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:57,760
He apparently took his own life a week later while in Thai custody and he faced

345
00:25:55,919 --> 00:26:02,080
charges relating to narcotics distribution, identity theft, money

346
00:26:00,159 --> 00:26:06,960
laundering, and related crimes. Basically, he was screwed and he was

347
00:26:05,039 --> 00:26:11,039
sure that he was not getting out, I guess. Yeah. Uh the usernames and

348
00:26:09,039 --> 00:26:15,440
passwords of thousands of buyers and sellers of illicit commodities have been

349
00:26:13,360 --> 00:26:19,600
identified and are subject to follow-up investigation by Europole. It's and

350
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:23,720
partner agencies. It's just usernames and passwords. Like I You know

351
00:26:22,039 --> 00:26:30,600
what? Remember, this is the world where people

352
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:36,080
give televangelists money to buy private

353
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:40,400
jets. You know about this, right? No. Yeah.

354
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:46,279
This has happened. Oh, yes. more than once where they literally got up there

355
00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:49,080
and they're like, "To spread the word of

356
00:26:46,279 --> 00:26:55,600
God, I need a private jet, so send me anything you can spare."

357
00:26:52,960 --> 00:27:00,320
Like, that's a thing. That's a real thing. They ride around in private jets

358
00:26:58,799 --> 00:27:08,120
that they literally said they were going to buy with donation money taxfree. Um,

359
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:10,960
so don't

360
00:27:08,120 --> 00:27:15,320
underestimate people's ability to use the same username and password that they

361
00:27:13,120 --> 00:27:22,880
use on freaking Facebook for a dark web marketplace

362
00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:24,480
where you buy like drugs. Yes. Don't

363
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:29,279
underestimate. Hopefully we get a follow-up article on this with like how

364
00:27:26,159 --> 00:27:32,240
many people got screwed. I super duper

365
00:27:29,279 --> 00:27:37,600
hope so. That would be entertaining. I I need to start the church of Lionus.

366
00:27:34,559 --> 00:27:40,880
Okay. Twi Twitch chats like need church

367
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:43,279
of Lionus. I need a lot of Thread

368
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:48,960
Ripper. I think I would be an excellent spread the word of CPU. I think I would

369
00:27:46,159 --> 00:27:55,559
be an excellent televangelist probably. I I I could I could have so much fun

370
00:27:51,919 --> 00:27:55,559
with that stick.

371
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:05,279
Luckily, you're Woodfall. Wood would follow. Best church. love it. Okay,

372
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:08,399
we've got we've got ourselves at least

373
00:28:05,279 --> 00:28:10,799
at least like 30 followers right now,

374
00:28:08,399 --> 00:28:15,000
which which in some states is probably enough for tax exempt status.

375
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:21,520
So, we are we are doing this.

376
00:28:19,279 --> 00:28:24,720
Awesome. Oh, man. Other people want Church of L. You can have your own

377
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:30,399
church. I'm I'm you know I'm No, we should make a uh I can be one of your

378
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:34,520
things. A denomination. Yeah. Like a Okay. So, it's actually like the Church

379
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:42,720
of Tech. Yes. So, you could be like Lucas or like um like uh uh you know

380
00:28:38,799 --> 00:28:44,960
line ofism. Yes. Or Perfect. Yeah. And

381
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:48,880
then like we can pretend to like fight to make it more interesting just like uh

382
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:53,840
those guys that are really popular on YouTube right now that I can't remember the name of where they like pretend

383
00:28:51,919 --> 00:28:57,840
little quarrels but then behind the scenes we're like just finding ways to

384
00:28:55,440 --> 00:29:02,480
gather more money. Apparently John John Oliver's done it. I've heard of this.

385
00:29:00,399 --> 00:29:06,320
There you go. Okay. All right. What hasn't John Oliver done and they like

386
00:29:04,799 --> 00:29:11,200
had to pull it down cuz it was like working too well and stuff. Yeah. But I

387
00:29:09,039 --> 00:29:14,960
think everyone knew it was a joke but people just wanted to contribute. was

388
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:17,919
ironically working. Yes, I'm pretty sure that's what was going on. But I mean,

389
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:25,320
that's still a that's still a pretty good scam. Was like, haha, let's show

390
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:25,320
all the idiots. Oh, well, give me money.

391
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:32,880
Oh, terrible. Yeah. All right. No, no.

392
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:35,440
The way we make money is uh much much

393
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:39,440
more above board than all of that because we tell you right now, actually,

394
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:45,520
I guess they are just saying, "Send me money so I can have a jet." Okay. So,

395
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:47,360
watch this ad spot so that I can buy.

396
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:52,880
Definitely not a jet something. Not a jet, but so you can hire more people.

397
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:55,000

00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:39,600
going to be freaking dope. I I saw the

409
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:43,200
booth list and I'm actually really stoked. I think I'm going to have a lot

410
00:30:40,799 --> 00:30:48,559
of fun. We went from LTX being something that I was really not sure how hard I

411
00:30:45,919 --> 00:30:54,480
wanted to sell because I wasn't sure how great it was going to be to LTX being

412
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:57,279
like flipping going to be awesome. Um, I

413
00:30:54,480 --> 00:31:00,799
I almost wish I like was hosting a booth is going to be super fun and a new

414
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:05,120
experience for a convention for me, but like as someone who really enjoys

415
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:09,200
conventions and having the conventions that I go to be less and less about

416
00:31:06,799 --> 00:31:12,320
tech, seeing this is really exciting. Well, it's VR, dude. You could just

417
00:31:10,559 --> 00:31:16,640
leave people in VR and like go away. That's fair. I could probably do that.

418
00:31:14,399 --> 00:31:20,960
There's a case toss. Um, there's a Corsair key swapping competition and

419
00:31:18,799 --> 00:31:25,919
there's like leaderboards, prizes. You wouldn't believe how like some companies

420
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:31,600
we reached out. We were like, "Hey, u can we get some prizes?" And they were

421
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:34,240
like, "Sure, here's like boxes of like

422
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:37,600
lanyards and cool crap." Some companies we reached out and we were like, "Hey,

423
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:45,919
could we get some swag?" And they were like, "Boom, here's a Titan XP. Boom.

424
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:50,640
Here's multiple GTX 1070s. Boom. Here's

425
00:31:45,919 --> 00:31:53,919
limited edition uh GeForce USB drives.

426
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:57,039
or boom, here's literally like I think

427
00:31:53,919 --> 00:31:58,720
ASUS sent like 300 or 400 t-shirts.

428
00:31:57,039 --> 00:32:04,799
What? So, there's going to be like an ASUS t-shirt for like almost like every

429
00:32:02,159 --> 00:32:09,679
other person who's there. This thing is going to be swag central. Wow. Giveaway

430
00:32:07,919 --> 00:32:13,840
central. Well, okay, this is the thing. At like packs and stuff, all the really

431
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:18,960
cool giveaways used to be from the PC guys. It was rarely the gaming

432
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:23,600
companies. They might give out a shirt, but the PC hardware groups like MSI used

433
00:32:21,919 --> 00:32:28,399
to have sick giveaways. I remember that. Uh NZXT used to have sick giveaways.

434
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:32,720
NVIDIA used to like giving away like shields like candy that one year. They

435
00:32:30,799 --> 00:32:37,039
would go into BOC. What my one of my favorite experiences that I ever had at

436
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:40,399
a PAX was an NVIDIA giveaway in the BOC section. I didn't get to participate in

437
00:32:38,559 --> 00:32:43,760
it cuz we weren't in BOC yet. We were in like the free play area, but we could

438
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:48,080
hear it cuz it was right beside it. The first thing they did was the first

439
00:32:45,679 --> 00:32:52,880
person to rip an AMD card out of their system and hand it to me gets a brand

440
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:56,320
new top-of-the-line NVIDIA card. I don't remember what card it was. I think it

441
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,640
was like a 580 or something. But any AMD card out of your system, you get a 580.

442
00:32:57,679 --> 00:33:05,440
The next one was like some weird competition. You got another 580. And there's more. By the way, because not to

443
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:07,919
be upstaged by NVIDIA, let me tell you,

444
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:12,399
AMD is going to have some stuff there. Some stuff that I actually can't even

445
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:17,840
talk about. Yeah. And some of the stuff that I can't even talk about might be

446
00:33:14,799 --> 00:33:19,600
getting given away. Yeah. So, like this

447
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:24,320
is gonna be a thing. This is gonna be crazy. Um, we're going to have never

448
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:29,200
before seen Linus Media Group videos that will never be seen. Uh, whether

449
00:33:26,399 --> 00:33:32,960
they were rejected by the brand or that we couldn't get music licensing figured

450
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:37,760
out for them. There's going to be a Channel Super Fun that will probably

451
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:40,399
never see the light that will that might

452
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:44,880
never otherwise see the light of day. Uh there's gonna be um let's see what else

453
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:50,159
we got. I don't know a lot of this stuff. 16K Gaming's gonna be there. Uh

454
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:54,399
the arcade machine's gonna be there. The oil PC is going to be there. The one and

455
00:33:52,559 --> 00:34:01,279
only. And we're doing a silent auction for BC Children's Hospital where I went

456
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:03,840
around and I found a bunch of relics of

457
00:34:01,279 --> 00:34:07,679
Lionus Tech Tips. So there's a reverb drive from the original Wik server. Oh,

458
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:11,359
that's pretty cool. So there it's like that kind of stuff weird. I was going to

459
00:34:09,919 --> 00:34:17,919
have uh I was going to have Colt and Steph check with you, but I actually wanted to see if you want to do the

460
00:34:13,919 --> 00:34:20,800
Fallout bomb. Oh, for sick kids. I might

461
00:34:17,919 --> 00:34:25,760
end up just winning it. You would just buy it. It's even mine. Like that's

462
00:34:24,159 --> 00:34:28,720
technically That's why I want That's why I told them

463
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:32,720
they had to ask you about it. You want to do it? We can do it. Yeah. I'll

464
00:34:30,240 --> 00:34:36,480
probably just end up sick. I told them I told them that they couldn't do the

465
00:34:34,159 --> 00:34:39,679
Scrapyard Wars PC. That would probably hurt me a little bit. that I I I told

466
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:44,399
them that was the limit, but they were like they wanted like a build of some

467
00:34:41,839 --> 00:34:49,359
sort. They can do the bomb. So, okay. If not the bomb, then we'll have the plasti

468
00:34:46,240 --> 00:34:50,800
dip PC. Okay. So, there will be a build

469
00:34:49,359 --> 00:34:58,240
there that you'll be able to And the bomb is just an empty case, by the way, but there will be like a case that was

470
00:34:54,159 --> 00:35:00,240
featured on still all the uh wiring. So,

471
00:34:58,240 --> 00:35:04,079
like you could it's it it has all the like front IO that would be in a normal

472
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:08,240
case. So, you could build a system in there. uh recreating the thermal setup

473
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:14,880
that I had so that it wouldn't crash at like any load is going to be difficult.

474
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:18,480
But yeah, that actually took like a long

475
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:21,359
time. So anyway, LTX is going to be sick

476
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:24,480
and it's uh next next weekend, the 29th. And if you somehow are like I'm teched

477
00:35:23,359 --> 00:35:30,320
out right now or I don't want to see video games or something for a while, there's like jousting, sumo wrestling,

478
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:32,960
uh bungee runs in real life toss, Rocket League in real life. There's an insane

479
00:35:31,839 --> 00:35:36,800
amount. We're going to have onstage unboxings. Two exclusive onstage

480
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:40,640
unboxings. I think our biggest issue is going to be that it's uh not like 2 days

481
00:35:39,359 --> 00:35:46,560
cuz there's so much stuff to do. Well, we were worried there wasn't going to be like anything to do. I know. So, we were

482
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:50,000
really careful with it. Like ample amounts. Well, you know what? What we'll

483
00:35:48,079 --> 00:35:54,240
probably do is if it's if everyone who comes has a blast and like tells three

484
00:35:52,079 --> 00:35:57,119
friends and we have like, you know, thousands of people there next year,

485
00:35:55,680 --> 00:36:02,560
then we'll we'll probably have to run it over a couple days. We'll just have to see how it goes. Ticket sales sucked.

486
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:07,040
Like we could have expanded it to a second day. We checked with the convention center, but like ticket sales

487
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:12,480
were kind of lame. So we were like not lame enough that we're like, "Yeah, we have to cancel this." But like one issue

488
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:16,880
is that it's in Canada. I know. I received a lot of messages about that

489
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:22,880
being a problem. I know. I know. But like what are we supposed to do? Like

490
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:26,079
cart 16K gaming to like LA?

491
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:27,400
Well, Seattle. Still. Yeah, I know.

492
00:36:26,079 --> 00:36:32,400
Still. I know. like all right, other sponsors for the

493

fabrics, and simple shopping. Um, yeah,

495
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:43,079
I mean, it really is simple online clothes shopping. I wish they had

496
00:36:41,359 --> 00:36:47,599
figured this out at the beginning of the internet. Uh, they've got everything

497
00:36:45,599 --> 00:36:52,400
from super comfortable underwear and socks to shirts, undershirts, hoodies,

498
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:55,680
and even super comfy sweatpants. And if you're going to call sweatpants super

499
00:36:53,680 --> 00:37:00,320
comfy, like you are up against you're up against other sweatpants. So like that

500
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:05,280
should give you guys some idea how comfy they are. The best part though is their

501
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:09,839
line of silver underwear and shirts that are naturally antimicrobial, which means

502
00:37:07,359 --> 00:37:13,920
that they don't smell so bad. That's sick. So they want you to be

506
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:29,520
last sponsor of the day. I am not going

507
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:35,760
to eat as much of this as I did last time. Did you get like Did it hurt? I

508
00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:37,839
was. What is this?

509
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:43,920
Traditional jerky. Oh, that's a new flavor. Mojo. Oh, wow. We've got new

510
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:48,720
flavors. Sweet Sriracha barbecue. Oh, sick. And there are a lot of like level

511
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:52,720
one flavors. Oh, sick. Okay. So, you maybe don't have to die. I want more of

512
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:56,880
the damn maple bacon. You get owned. What's mojo? No more. No,

513
00:37:54,720 --> 00:37:59,839
I want mojo. No, you just got You just got owned right there. Rough. I'm going

514
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:04,640
to go with traditional. All right. Savage Jerky. Their jerky is made with

515
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:08,240
the best ingredients without nitrates or preservatives. And the goal was to

516
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:13,040
create a snack that was full of flavor and spice, but that wasn't bad for you.

517
00:38:11,359 --> 00:38:18,560
The inspiration comes from the flavors of garlic, lime, and cilantro, which is

518
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:21,440
Mojo. Garlic, lime, and cilantro. Yeah.

519
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:26,480
Yeah. So, I'm like super stoked on this guy right here. And because it brings

520
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:32,760
out the natural flavor of premium beef, I love this stuff. Use offer code LTT to

time. And it depends on your like your tolerance level, right? That's why I

Yeah. Oh, okay. Give a little knife thing. I'll try it a little later.

536
00:39:34,720 --> 00:39:41,520
Uh, all right. Let's move on to uh let's move on to another topic here.

537
00:39:39,839 --> 00:39:46,000
We could move on to the topic of hiring flow plane people.

538
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:52,000
Um, or we can move on to the topic of the Noctua fans. Interesting. Have you

539
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:55,480
not seen that? No. I kind of Okay. Yeah.

540
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:59,040
I was This was posted by Ventus on the

541
00:39:55,480 --> 00:40:01,560
forum and apparently

542
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:08,480
uh so this is from r/build a PC posted by Kendalf. visible

543
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:14,960
manufacturing differences between Noctua fans made in Taiwan versus China.

544
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:20,560
Yeah, I'm really wondering what your opinion is on this actually.

545
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:22,720
I think the Twitch chat probably is too.

546
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:27,440
Wow. Yeah. So, the fan blades on the Taiwan fans are noticeably smoother and

547
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:31,359
more rounded. The flow acceleration channels on the

548
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:35,680
blades of the Taiwan fans are more defined.

549
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:42,079
The inner surface micro structures of the made in Taiwan's one have a distinct

550
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:46,000
water drop shape whereas the made in China are just a shallow triangular

551
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:53,839
cutout. I communicate I was going to say these sound like counterfeits even I

552
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:57,359
communicated these differences with Noctua and they claim that the

553
00:40:56,160 --> 00:41:03,119
differences are within their manufacturing tolerances and do not

554
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:05,680
affect performance. But Noctua is known

555
00:41:03,119 --> 00:41:11,680
for its reputation of the highest attention to detail. And I'm sure that's

556
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:15,599
al also really good. That the Noctua engineers designed these tiny details to

557
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:20,040
exacting specifications for some reason is basically what the the Reddit post

558
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:24,480
continues to say. You should try this one.

559
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:30,400
apparently. Now, I haven't heard them, but the made in China fans apparently

560
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:35,839
have a noticeably louder drone when spinning at the same RPM RPM as the

561
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:40,400
other fans. Now, Gamers Nexus is going to be

562
00:41:37,599 --> 00:41:44,240
apparently um doing tests and going to be making a video on it, which is cool.

563
00:41:42,079 --> 00:41:47,920
Or they're back. Uh check them out over at gamers nexus.com or uh they've got a

564
00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:51,440
YouTube channel as well, so they'll probably make a video on this one. Good

565
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:55,119
guys over there. Yeah, they've been they've actually done a lot of good

566
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:57,839
content around this type of stuff. So, I enjoy that. This is more their

567
00:41:56,160 --> 00:42:01,200
wheelhouse than ours anyway, but I'll definitely be paying close attention and

568
00:41:59,599 --> 00:42:07,359
we can talk about it on W show in the future to how this works out. And I'm

569
00:42:04,359 --> 00:42:10,480
definitely firing up an email over to my

570
00:42:07,359 --> 00:42:14,319
contacts over there like what the heck

571
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:14,319
is going on because

572
00:42:14,359 --> 00:42:21,760
like I I'll tell you guys something. So this this is sort of this is sort of uh

573
00:42:19,599 --> 00:42:26,960
very sort of behind the scenes sort of in my brain how things work. Um one of

574
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:32,400
the business ideas that I would love to explore in the future as much as I love

575
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:37,359
selling digital influence which is a great business by the way because you

576
00:42:34,720 --> 00:42:42,319
don't have any manufacturing costs you don't have to carry any inventory. Well,

577
00:42:40,240 --> 00:42:46,480
I mean, okay, yes, you have to, you know, people like that, you know, and

578
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:50,160
equipment and all that kind of thing, but but but these are one-time costs.

579
00:42:48,720 --> 00:42:56,240
Yeah. Not not per item. Yeah. You don't have to R&D a new freaking, you know,

580
00:42:54,160 --> 00:43:00,160
nut and screw or whatever every time you get like it's brand just has to change

581
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:04,960
the lighting setup. It's somewhat more finite.

582
00:43:02,359 --> 00:43:08,880
Um, so I like the business of selling digital influence, but one of the

583
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:14,319
companies that I would want to found when I have some more time and when I am

584
00:43:11,119 --> 00:43:17,000
able to do it would be a manufacturer of

585
00:43:14,319 --> 00:43:22,480
a physical product. And a lot of the philosophy that I'm

586
00:43:20,079 --> 00:43:26,920
developing for this company is actually borrowed from my perception of Noctua.

587
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:34,319
Yeah, because I thought of Noctua that they were like

588
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:38,480
the founders were somehow deeply involved in aerodynamics research or

589
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:42,160
something at some university over there. I don't remember where I heard it, but

590
00:43:40,319 --> 00:43:47,119
like someone told me that someone told them that like that was the background,

591
00:43:44,319 --> 00:43:53,599
but that wasn't what happened at all. Rascom, the parent company of Noctua,

592
00:43:50,319 --> 00:43:56,800
was just like a smalltime European

593
00:43:53,599 --> 00:43:58,640
computer hardware distributor, like um

594
00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:04,160
you know, like a like a like a you know, Frozen CPU before they went down. So, so

595
00:44:01,839 --> 00:44:07,200
they were just a distributor of other people's parts. And then Frozen is

596
00:44:05,599 --> 00:44:10,960
actually a perfect example of a company that also developed their own products

597
00:44:09,359 --> 00:44:15,599
at one point and then completely went off the deep end.

598
00:44:13,079 --> 00:44:21,520
Um, so when I found that out, I kind of went, well, how is it that your fans are

599
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:23,440
the best? And they kind of went, well, I

600
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:26,800
I went, "Do you have like brilliant amazing engineers?" And they were like,

601
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:31,599
"Well, yeah, we have like, you know, good engineers, but but they're not, you

602
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:36,319
know, leading researchers in the field of, you know, fluid dynamics or

603
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:39,040
anything. They're they're engineers." And I was like, "Well, then why are

604
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:43,839
yours better than someone else's?" And they're like, "Because we don't release

605
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:48,000
it until it's right." Because of attention to detail. Because we care.

606
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:53,079
And this doesn't sound like caring or attention to detail. No, it doesn't. So,

607
00:44:50,720 --> 00:44:57,520
this is kind of like this is kind of shaking because this is kind of shaking

608
00:44:55,520 --> 00:45:01,280
the foundation of a business that I, you know, haven't invested a dollar into

609
00:44:59,359 --> 00:45:05,280
yet. Like, I'm I'm not even close to starting it. But one that I that I do

610
00:45:03,599 --> 00:45:10,359
want to start at some point and that I that I had planned to build around

611
00:45:07,599 --> 00:45:16,960
basically the knock to a philosophy. Charge as much as it takes to make a

612
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:21,920
profit on the best product you could build. So it's going to be expensive,

613
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:27,520
but make sure that what you build is the best. That was that was the idea. And

614
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:31,599
I'm I'm sort of, you know, I don't want to get ahead of myself because if

615
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:36,720
there's anything that I'm a fanboy of, it's Noctua fans. Yes. So, I'm not going

616
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:41,200
to freak out yet. I also want to point out that the link that I posted in the

617
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:45,839
chat for the uh Reddit conversation does have a video doing the sound comparison.

618
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:49,200
It does have a lot of uh frame color difference pictures. It has a lot of

619
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:55,680
comparison images for a ton of different things. This guy has done a lot of work.

620
00:45:52,960 --> 00:46:00,040
He's obviously affected. He might be as much of a Noctua fanboy as you are.

621
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:10,640
Wow. Huh. Well, let's um so see how that

622
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:14,920
goes. I'm interested. Yeah. If this is if this

623
00:46:13,839 --> 00:46:19,319
is true, what is what is the name of that

624
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:24,560
other brand? Um they're black and white fans. Oh,

625
00:46:22,240 --> 00:46:28,800
noise blocker. Noise blocker. If this is true, will you actually try a noise

626
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:32,319
blocker fan? Wow.

627
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:35,599
Cuz this is Okay, this has been a like I don't bring it up much cuz we talked

628
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:39,599
about it a lot a long time ago and this conversation has

629
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:46,400
just concluded like there's nothing else to really talk about. It was just like

630
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:49,040
no, I found a fan. I really like it. This is this is perfect and I'm going to

631
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:53,520
use it forever and I'm going to use it forever and that's fine. It's a fan. you

632
00:46:51,599 --> 00:46:57,440
you found one that fit your specifications. And it's not so much

633
00:46:55,440 --> 00:47:02,920
that I refused to use Noise Blocker or something like that. It's just like if

634
00:46:59,599 --> 00:47:05,680
Noise Blocker was better than an

635
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:10,280
NFF12, then it it like it really wasn't by much. And a big part of what I

636
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:14,720
trusted about Noctua and trust about Noctua trusted. I don't know. It's like

637
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:19,040
I don't know what I don't know what anything is anymore. A big part of what

638
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:25,040
a big part of what I have trusted about Noctua is inside information that I have

639
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:30,720
from being the product manager on their line and seeing real world RMA rates.

640
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:36,720
They don't die or like anything can die, but they generally don't. Very uncommon.

641
00:47:33,839 --> 00:47:39,359
Very reliable. I'm I'm just saying right now, but if

642
00:47:38,319 --> 00:47:47,720
all these other things could be different, maybe that could be different, too. Noise Blocker Black

643
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:50,480
Silent Pro fans look really

644
00:47:47,720 --> 00:47:54,800
slick. I'm just saying. All right. Well, speaking of companies that um are

645
00:47:52,720 --> 00:48:00,319
capable of both delighting and disappointing me, our next bit of news

646
00:47:57,119 --> 00:48:03,040
posted by HK05 on the forum is

647
00:48:00,319 --> 00:48:07,760
originally from videocards.com and is a rumor about

648
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:11,599
Intel. So, Intel is allegedly working on

649
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:14,119
multiple hex core coffee lake CPUs. So,

650
00:48:11,599 --> 00:48:19,880
Coffee Lake for those of you not familiar will be the replacement to KB

651
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:25,280
Lake and that will be a mainstream processor. So, this tells us

652
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:31,280
a couple things. This tells us either that Intel of its own accord had been

653
00:48:28,559 --> 00:48:38,119
finally intending to deliver a sixcore mainstream processor

654
00:48:33,319 --> 00:48:42,480
anyway before AMD dropped Ryzen. Yeah.

655
00:48:38,119 --> 00:48:44,640
or that Intel became aware that Ryzen

656
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:48,160
was going to be pretty good through corporate

657
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:53,200
espionage far before the rest of the industry knew about it and started

658
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:55,920
working on this um or just already had

659
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:59,119
it and just decided not to do anything with it. I don't think so because if

660
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:03,920
they'd already had it, they could have done it with KB Lake, right? Whereas

661
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:09,040
Coffee Lake is going to be a new platform. So, it's going to be a new

662
00:49:05,599 --> 00:49:11,760
chipset. I think if they had been if

663
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:15,599
they had known about it two years ago, we'd have it in KB Lake. Yeah. Whereas

664
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:22,880
if they knew about it like a year and a half ago, then either they decided on

665
00:49:19,119 --> 00:49:25,359
their own, it's time or or they weren't

666
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:30,480
willing to throw a fast one at motherboard manufacturers again so hard

667
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:33,599
with mainstream processors. Okay, that's it might be easier to throw a fast one

668
00:49:32,240 --> 00:49:41,079
at them with motherboards that they won't have to make nearly as many of.

669
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:41,079
This could be very disruptive to Ryzen.

670
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:47,839
Yeah, but I think Ryzen has AMD as a

671
00:49:45,599 --> 00:49:50,800
whole probably at this point gotten a lot more customers just because people

672
00:49:49,599 --> 00:49:56,480
are more interested in them because they're tired of some of the crap from the other side. I can see that. Um, and

673
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:59,920
I feel like a lot of the communication that's currently going around AMD isn't

674
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:03,200
going to go away even if Intel releases a good processor because there are

675
00:50:01,599 --> 00:50:06,480
certain like business practice things that people didn't like. That's true.

676
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:10,520
Yep. You can. So, I think those communication lines might keep them

677
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:15,839
going. And I mean, a lot of people will buy based on a particular

678
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:20,480
brand loyalty. Yeah. Or you'll see a post on PCMR that's like, "Oh, these are

679
00:50:17,839 --> 00:50:26,079
great." And just go buy them. And if either product is like good, yeah, then

680
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:30,800
there's really nothing wrong with that. And people aren't going to fight super hard if they're both good products.

681
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:36,160
Like, you know, you go back, you go back far enough to when, you know, uh AMD and

682
00:50:33,119 --> 00:50:38,800
NVIDIA were pretty comparable. So, like,

683
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:46,559
you know, we could look at the um like the X X800 era or something like that.

684
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:50,720
like an X800 Pro was like pretty

685
00:50:46,559 --> 00:50:52,160
freaking similar to a 7800 GT or

686
00:50:50,720 --> 00:50:59,760
whatever the contemporary one was. I can't I can't remember exactly. Um was

687
00:50:56,240 --> 00:51:01,200
it 60 6800 6800 GT? I don't I don't

688
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:05,119
remember. Anyway, they were pretty darn close. It came down to whether you liked

689
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:07,920
Catalyst Control Center or was it still called Detonator at the time? I don't

690
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:13,359
remember. Whatever NVIDIA's driver was called. Thank you to everyone in the Twitch chat that is currently going

691
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:15,520
Intel. No, I love that that meme is still

692
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:23,680
going. All right. Anyway, here's kind of

693
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:26,319
the summary of these rumors. K version

694
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:31,920
will have a 3.7 GHz base with hyperthreading enabled. So that's 12

695
00:51:28,079 --> 00:51:33,680
threads and the nonK running at 3.2 TDP

696
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:37,440
of 95 watts which should be quite doable. And then there will apparently

697
00:51:35,599 --> 00:51:42,720
and that'll be the flagship. So that'll be the

698
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:46,240
8700, the 8700 series. Then the uh there

699
00:51:42,720 --> 00:51:49,359
will be a six core i5 as well. Wow. Oh,

700
00:51:46,240 --> 00:51:53,119
that's interesting. With that being the

701
00:51:49,359 --> 00:51:56,920
slowest six core desktop, the 8600 K 3.6

702
00:51:53,119 --> 00:51:58,960
GHz and then 95 watt TDP, no

703
00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:03,920
hyperthreading. Wait, no. The slowest six core will be a Core

704
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:09,559
i58400. Wow. So that could be like that

705
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:12,319
could be like $170. $175 price point.

706
00:52:09,559 --> 00:52:17,040
Oo, that one that the article is saying looks like a direct response to AMD's

707
00:52:14,240 --> 00:52:23,599
Ryzen 5. Intel will also apparently introduce an actual mobile CPU with six

708
00:52:21,119 --> 00:52:28,559
cores with much lower clock speeds and a 45 watt TDP. So, you'd expect to find

709
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:34,319
that in something like an Acer Predator 21X refresh or something along those

710
00:52:31,079 --> 00:52:36,240
lines. Wow.

711
00:52:34,319 --> 00:52:40,319
It's apparently Okay, so sorry. I I just got to give an update on the the nose in

712
00:52:38,720 --> 00:52:43,280
chat. One more thing. It's apparently unclear at this time whether these will

713
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:47,040
require new motherboards, though I would have thought they would. Yeah. So, don't

714
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:51,839
quote me on that one. I suspect they will. Um, it it has divulged it. It

715
00:52:49,359 --> 00:52:55,839
started with AMD no and then it it transferred into Intel no with this

716
00:52:53,920 --> 00:53:02,160
article, which was funny, and now it's just turned into like anything no.

717
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:06,480
Perfect. It's just it's it's chaos. It's chaos in Twitch chat. The the bots's

718
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:12,520
banning everybody. It's just it's it's hell out there, man. You got to you got

719
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:12,520
to fight to survive.

720
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:21,440
All right. So, we can probably skim Yeah, there really isn't much going on

721
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:24,880
here. Oh, okay. Um, so Nintendo applied

722
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:26,800
for a patent for its uh Nintendo 64

723
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:31,599
controller. They reapplied for Nintendo 64 controller patents. Um, so there's

724
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:37,200
probably a Nintendo 64 classic coming after the SNES Classic. Um, but who

725
00:53:35,359 --> 00:53:42,480
knows and it's not coming for a long time and it's pretty expected that that

726
00:53:39,359 --> 00:53:45,280
would happen anyways. So, yeah. Cool.

727
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:50,079
Yeah. Can you like how much are NAS Classics at this point? Very expensive.

728
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:54,640
Um, apparently people have found some that got restocked. Hm. So, there's a

729
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:59,760
little bit of rumor going around that they might start actually manufacturing all them instead of just having them as

730
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:04,400
one year because it's so stupid. Yeah. Like it's just money. There's a lot of

731
00:54:02,559 --> 00:54:11,119
people that want to have the set like Nintendo. Why do you hate money? Yeah. I

732
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:12,319
just I don't even They have so much. I I

733
00:54:11,119 --> 00:54:18,559
really love it when people are like, "Man, that was a stupid decision from Nintendo. They're going to die as a

734
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:22,880
company." I'm like, "No, they're not. Nintendo can survive for like ever while

735
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:26,640
making terrible decisions because they have so much money. It doesn't even

736
00:54:25,119 --> 00:54:30,559
matter. They they'll like fail repeatedly and then just release another

737
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:34,559
like Wii or Switch. The Switch is doing incredibly well. It's like, oh, the Wii

738
00:54:33,119 --> 00:54:38,559
U didn't matter and no one knew it existed. That's fine. Nintendo will just

739
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:42,880
survive and then just smash the gaming world again with some other new console.

740
00:54:40,720 --> 00:54:49,520
Doesn't matter. They have like a way more intense version of the Microsoft

741
00:54:45,119 --> 00:54:49,520
like every second OS thing. Mhm.

742
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:56,319
Yeah. Um H this is kind of funny. Yeah.

743
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:59,520
Posted by Dasin on the forum. The original article here is from the

744
00:54:59,559 --> 00:55:05,920
BBC. A Chinese mall introduces husband

745
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:11,280
storage pods for shopping wives. Husbands can play old school games like

746
00:55:08,079 --> 00:55:12,880
Tekken 3 in the pods.

747
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:17,599
I'm I'm also going to chime in. I want this in North American malls. Okay. No,

748
00:55:16,079 --> 00:55:21,760
not necessarily. Uh, apparently there's no ventilation or air conditioning. Some

749
00:55:19,839 --> 00:55:26,559
guy sat in and played for 5 minutes and was just drenched in sweat. Okay, so

750
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:30,400
maybe better ones. Yeah, maybe better ones. So, these are glass pods where

751
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:34,960
women can leave their partners while they shop. Inside each individual pod is

752
00:55:33,119 --> 00:55:40,640
a chair, monitor, computer, and game pad, and men can sit and play retro

753
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:42,720
1990s games. Service is currently free.

754
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:48,400
Yeah, but in the future, users will have to pay to scan a QR code. All right. Pay

755
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:51,599
and scan a QR code to use the service. They should just make it so that you

756
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:56,440
like pair up with the person that you're shopping with and as they make

757
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:59,359
purchases, it like gives you more time. You know what I mean? So, you

758
00:55:58,319 --> 00:56:04,559
don't actually have to pay for it. It's just tied in with like some someone in your group is spending money at the

759
00:56:02,319 --> 00:56:08,880
mall. So, you get to stay in your little pod. And they should make it so you can

760
00:56:06,079 --> 00:56:13,599
like order food to it and everything. It'd be awesome. Uh, I just also want to

761
00:56:11,359 --> 00:56:19,040
bring up that the the nos in chat switched to uh money no, Nintendo no,

762
00:56:16,559 --> 00:56:24,000
and profit no. So, excellent. Good job. Thank you for the update. Keep going.

763
00:56:21,359 --> 00:56:29,440
Um, love to see it. The original article here is from Tech Crunch. YouTube

764
00:56:26,799 --> 00:56:36,400
launches its counterterrorism experiment for wouldbe ISIS recruits. And uh

765
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:38,640
basically what's going on here is that

766
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:42,720
now when a potential ISIS recruit searches for known extremist content on

767
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:47,040
YouTube using a predefined set of keywords, they will instead be

768
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:56,400
redirected to videos that deconstruct and confront the terrorist group. So uh

769
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:58,400
no. ISIS no. ISIS no. I get way too much

770
00:56:56,400 --> 00:57:03,839
entertainment from this. I I am completely okay with this. So these are

771
00:57:00,720 --> 00:57:06,799
curated YouTube videos debunking ISIS

772
00:57:03,839 --> 00:57:11,359
recruiting themes. This open methodology was developed from interviews with ISIS

773
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:15,359
defectors, respects users privacy, and can be deployed to tackle other types of

774
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:18,240
violent recruiting discourses online. So that's where this gets kind of dicey.

775
00:57:16,799 --> 00:57:24,119
That does get a little where is the line? Yeah. So the recruit the redirect

776
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:28,799
method began with an 8week pilot program enlisting 320,000 viewers that explored

777
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:32,559
some key insights around the kind of things that potential ISIS recruits

778
00:57:30,319 --> 00:57:36,720
search for. To be fair though, this YouTube is not a government website.

779
00:57:34,799 --> 00:57:40,880
Mhm. They can suggest and they have a suggestion algorithm. They can suggest

780
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:45,280
whatever they want to you. This is why stuff like Floatplane makes sense.

781
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:49,119
Except maybe not for that type of content. out. But like if you if you

782
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:52,720
want to specifically see one thing that you're searching for, going to one

783
00:57:50,799 --> 00:57:56,240
website that has like a crazy machine learning algorithm that's trying to just

784
00:57:54,319 --> 00:58:00,319
give you what it wants to give you is not necessarily the greatest way to go.

785
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:05,680
So effective deterrence apparently include documentary videos is a good

786
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:10,319
idea. Citizen journalism. That one's interesting. Videos that feature

787
00:58:07,119 --> 00:58:11,520
religious debates and videos from ISIS

788
00:58:10,319 --> 00:58:15,280
defectors. I wouldn't have thought necessarily the third one. The religious

789
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:20,240
debate one is weird because I could just see that fueling someone even more.

790
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:26,920
Well, maybe not. I mean, maybe these people are obviously Okay. Okay. I'm

791
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:29,839
going to be careful here. But I would

792
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:37,520
think that someone who manages to be converted to an

793
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:41,359
extremist is probably pretty um how you

794
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:43,040
say uh the the force would work on them.

795
00:58:41,359 --> 00:58:47,680
They're probably pretty simple, suggestable. Yes. Right. Okay, there we

796
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:51,920
go. Yeah, it wouldn't take an Obi-Wan cuz he has a special gift for it. Just

797
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:57,520
basically anyone. Basically anyone. So, if you just throw a debate in front of

798
00:58:54,599 --> 00:59:01,040
them, maybe that even Qui-Gon, who never successfully does it in the movies,

799
00:58:58,799 --> 00:59:06,599
would be able to manage it. Too too many Star Wars memes. Sorry. Um, yeah, I

800
00:59:04,799 --> 00:59:12,079
that's interesting. I like I I can't be upset

801
00:59:09,359 --> 00:59:12,079
about it.

802
00:59:12,799 --> 00:59:20,400
this particular instance I have no issue with at all. Um, seeing where this goes

803
00:59:17,839 --> 00:59:24,000
could be a big problem. Uh, again, I personally think it's private company.

804
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:27,359
It's not a government agency. They can kind of do whatever they want. Uh, I

805
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:30,960
might not like it, but that would just incite people to use other platforms

806
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:34,640
more if they abuse it. So, just do that. Again, it's a it's a private company.

807
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:40,079
You have the freedom to use other things if you would like to. Um, hopefully they

808
00:59:38,079 --> 00:59:44,960
don't take it much further than this. Trying to stop people from becoming

809
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:50,050
terrorists. Heck yeah. Super down with that. Trying to stop people from using

810
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:50,920
Edge browser.

811
00:59:53,280 --> 01:00:00,559
And that's the WAN Show for today. Thank you guys for tuning in. We

812
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:03,680
will see you again next week. Same. Let's not actually leave yet. Oh,

813
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:07,520
there's two things that we still have to do. What do we have to do? One, uh, I'm

814
01:00:06,079 --> 01:00:12,000
recruiting for Floatplane. If you want to be a developer and you want to come

815
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:15,760
join us, there's there's a video on our Facebook page and on our Twitter right

816
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:22,000
now and on Floatplane if you want to see it. Uh unfortunately, I am looking

817
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:24,000
specifically for Canadians or Americans

818
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:29,200
who have a degree in a highly related field like computer science or like

819
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:32,960
software engineering. It has to be very directly related. Um that is because of

820
01:00:31,599 --> 01:00:38,160
like immigration law and all this kind of stuff. We we have already picked up

821
01:00:35,119 --> 01:00:40,799
two guys uh that don't fit within that

822
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:43,599
realm and it's been a problem trying to get them into Canada and trying to keep

823
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:47,760
them employed because Canada doesn't want you to have people who are employed

824
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:50,880
who don't live in Canada when you don't have an office outside of Canada blah

825
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:53,839
blah blah blah blah blah blah. So, we're trying to make this process a little bit

826
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:58,319
easier and we're just going for Canadians or Americans with a full

827
01:00:55,839 --> 01:01:00,799
bachelor's degree. That one's nice, too. I was Yeah, I was telling you earlier to

828
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:05,119
try it out. It's good. They're new flavors. Very good. Um, so yeah, if you

829
01:01:03,599 --> 01:01:08,400
are interested, you want to apply back and front end. Um, check out those

830
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:12,319
videos. It goes into more specifics there about even what the heck float

831
01:01:10,079 --> 01:01:17,440
plane is. Employment, no. What you'd be doing. Is that what people are doing

832
01:01:13,839 --> 01:01:20,480
now? Employees, no. Canada, no. Edge,

833
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:22,640
no. Oh god, I love that. I don't know

834
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:26,880
why I love that so much, but I do. Also, we should go over what's on flow plan

835
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:32,720
right now. Right. But you can't miss two weeks in a row. That would be rough.

836
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:36,559
Dang it. I'm not signed in. What a nerd. I know.

837
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:42,079
What a nerd. Whatever. These guys have been watching for like I'm talking about

838
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:43,760
the uh the archive. If anyone actually

839
01:01:42,079 --> 01:01:49,520
made it this far into the video, what's another like 30 seconds

840
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:54,799
fair? Shoot. That's not the That's the wrong one. What am I even doing? I'm

841
01:01:51,839 --> 01:01:54,799
busy enjoying this

842
01:01:55,799 --> 01:02:04,000
jerky. Hey, someone said Floatplane. Yes.

843
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:04,000
I'll take that meme

844
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:11,440
break. Sorry, I have to sign into

845
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:21,720
uh I have to sign into my password manager in order to sign in.

846
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:24,000
Oh. Oh, everything is

847
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:31,119
awful. All in the name of security though, right?

848
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:31,119
Pretty much. Yep. Yep. That's a

849
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:43,839
security. I'm just tired of having

850
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:45,920
accounts compromised. Yeah,

851
01:02:43,839 --> 01:02:53,520
that was no fun. No, that wasn't a lot of fun. 200k. No, I will not be paying

852
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:55,839
you 200k a year.

853
01:02:53,520 --> 01:03:01,880
And in response in response to your answer, no, I will not be doing it

854
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:01,880
either. Yeah.

855
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:12,559
All right. Let's see if that works. Boom. We're in. All right. Someone's

856
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:15,119
like 200k. Yes.

857
01:03:12,559 --> 01:03:17,920
So, what do we got? Casino technology is f. That's actually a pretty good

858
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:22,480
episode. It's been a little The comments on that have been interesting cuz there

859
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:25,920
some people feel quite strongly about casinos. I didn't really expect that was

860
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:30,000
going to be a thing of like gambling addiction and all this kind of stuff. Yeah. What does that have to do with us

861
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:34,480
though? I don't know. It's just been an interesting comment section.

862
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:38,280
Interesting. Um necessarily been pointed at us. It's

863
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:46,559
just been interesting. Mezzanine update 11 is now here. Yay. Woo. Look at that.

864
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:50,000
It's actually coming along. Yeah.

865
01:03:46,559 --> 01:03:52,559
Five truly unusual graphics cards. They

866
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:59,520
truly are unusual. I I got to give us credit for titling this one very

867
01:03:54,319 --> 01:04:01,960
correctly. That's a fan. Oh. Yeah.

868
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:11,559
That's unusual. That's a thing. Yeah. Yep. The world's most amazing desk PC.

869
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:11,559
16K gaming build log.

870
01:04:11,599 --> 01:04:18,960
D. See, I I I think you could have had an even clickier title for that. Um, I

871
01:04:17,839 --> 01:04:23,039
don't think the interesting part there is the desk PC. It's all the monitors. I

872
01:04:21,119 --> 01:04:27,280
think the thumb Well, that that's the subject of this one is actually building

873
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:32,640
the desk PC and getting everything mounted. So, there's this is part one of

874
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:34,400
two. Ah, so the other one focuses more

875
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:40,720
on the monitors. Part two might even do better. Part two is the one that I

876
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:45,200
expect to like beat 8K gaming. Yeah.

877
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:47,680
Okay. Okay. Cool. Um, yeah. Another 16K.

878
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:52,079
Yes. Another rant about Red Digital Cinema is coming. There you go. To

879
01:04:50,559 --> 01:04:57,599
YouTube or you can watch it on Floatplane now.

880
01:04:54,640 --> 01:05:02,640
There you go. $7,000 card. That's actually a pretty cool video. I watched

881
01:04:59,039 --> 01:05:04,400
that. Um, DJI Spark videos up. Uh, what

882
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:09,920
else we got? I think uh I think that might be it. Oh, this project or that

883
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:13,039
thing is insane. The This is like actually insane. So, this was half of

884
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:18,280
the joke when I did that stupid thing with SLI red. Yes. Red. No.

885
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:27,039
You've started a monster now. I love it. It's so It's like 80% of the Twitch chat

886
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:32,000
right now. So, this was part of the joke when I said world's smallest SLI with

887
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:35,920
those stupid USB drives is that we actually will have the world's smallest

888
01:05:33,599 --> 01:05:39,720
SLI coming up on the channel very soon. That's awesome. with 1080 Ti this time.

889
01:05:38,319 --> 01:05:43,039
Like for real. All right, so thank you for tuning

893
01:05:56,720 --> 01:06:02,400
PC thing is pretty insane. It's like super dope. It's insane. Everybody stop
