WEBVTT

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,

00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:09.760
it's wed show time and we managed to get

00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:15.599
a that's what she said before the proper intro. Before the intro right at the

00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:17.520
start we are fast like that. You're just

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.

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:25.039
Yep. Yep. Just Okay, we've got a great

00:00:23.279 --> 00:00:34.079
show for you guys today. World record speed. Um, first we get to admit that we

00:00:28.720 --> 00:00:37.680
were not only slightly wrong, but also

00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:40.399
slightly ignorant and a little bit dumb.

00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:46.239
So, that'll be coming later. Uh, which I wasn't able to research at all

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

00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:55.199
worry. I got this. Thanks. Um, HTC's

00:00:51.160 --> 00:00:56.879
keyboard is showing ads to users of

00:00:55.199 --> 00:00:59.680
their phones. Apparently, it might not really be their fault, but it's because

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

00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:12.560
Ripper motherboard. There are now unboxing pictures. It looks awesome.

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

00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.520
Extreme has been

00:01:21.880 --> 00:01:28.439
announced. So yeah, I guess I guess a drum. Roll a drum.

00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:34.880
Dang it. I don't have Twitch open yet, nerd. Neither do I. Damn

00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:46.439
it. I believe that is pretty much the definition of wrecked, son.

00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:46.439
I got it.

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

00:01:52.159 --> 00:02:01.960
on social media. That's what I usually do. Well, thank you to Savage Turkey.

00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.960
Fresh bugs.

00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:06.680
Macelog tech.

00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:14.640
Jingles are a lost art. We should uh we should make another album.

00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:17.840
Oh, okay. I've wanted to do a non-Christ

00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:20.400
themed album for a while. I know, but I

00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:23.920
didn't we learn our lesson last time. No, it did really well. Okay. Well,

00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:29.520
there are different ways to learn your lesson. Okay. So, so for those of you

00:02:26.160 --> 00:02:31.920
not familiar it must Wow, it was over a

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

00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:42.319
hairbrained idea. I don't remember whose

00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:44.640
idea it was. Was it you? Was it me? It

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

00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:52.560
for it. Other people were complicit in this. Okay. I was more than complicit. I

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,

00:02:54.720 --> 00:03:01.200
but I definitely championed. Yeah. Okay. So, we created a Christmas album. We

00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:09.120
took a bunch of classic Christmas songs and we rewrote the lyrics uh with

00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:12.159
technology as as sort of a theme. And it

00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:14.239
um it was awful. Yeah. Like the lyrics

00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:20.000
were actually not as bad as you might expect because I took what some other

00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:25.760
people wrote and made very few alterations because they were quite good

00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:31.760
or completely redid because they were done by Colton. Yeah. Yeah. John and I

00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:35.680
sat down like together outside of work hours and wrote a few songs that were

00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:40.080
like pretty solid. Yeah. I believe Nick's Nick lights were pretty good.

00:03:37.519 --> 00:03:45.120
Nick did a few. Yeah, Colton's were terrible. They were really bad. I was

00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:46.799
like, "Do you even English, bro?" They

00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:53.120
were a little rough. So, I redid those ones. But anyway, and then without any

00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:55.040
rehearsals, Nacho Mist, which like

00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:59.360
that's a reputable name right there, says that it was actually fantastic.

00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:04.959
Okay, thanks, Nacho Mist. And we actually sold quite a few of them. So, I

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.

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

00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:15.360
what we can do. Yeah. Um, so, so anyway,

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

00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:22.400
without any rehearsals and without any

00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:26.880
screening, so no matter who they were, if they were on staff at Linus Media

00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:33.400
Group, they had to sing for the Christmas album. And um, we sold, how

00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:41.199
many of them did we sell? sold 924 for a grand total of $2,772.

00:04:37.520 --> 00:04:43.919
So, we not even close to made back the

00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:49.520
time we spent on it. Nope. There's also ad revenue,

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.

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

00:04:56.320 --> 00:05:01.759
may have actually turned off um

00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:06.800
monetization. We may have turned off monetization cuz we wanted as many

00:05:03.440 --> 00:05:09.039
people as possible to watch the uh the

00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:14.560
video advertising it. So, we released it as something that almost looked like a

00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:20.080
joke. No, we did. We monetized it. So, we released this video that almost

00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:22.160
looked like a joke and um and then we're

00:05:20.080 --> 00:05:28.320
way too serious about it and then you actually could buy it.

00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:33.520
Um, like th this is this is real. This

00:05:28.320 --> 00:05:33.520
is not a joke at all.

00:05:34.280 --> 00:05:38.320
Um, look at Ed back

00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:43.560
there. Nick's like into it.

00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:52.880
My favorite thing this whole time is looking at Colton's face cuz this if if

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

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

00:06:01.840 --> 00:06:09.800
interesting thing, the reason why I know that this sold fairly well is that I get

00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:12.800
emailed every single time someone buys

00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:14.319
it. Every time. So like every few

00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:17.360
months. It's not that common anymore because it's been so long, right? But

00:06:15.840 --> 00:06:21.600
someone will see this in the download section and just be like, "What and just

00:06:20.080 --> 00:06:27.680
buy it for fun?" So, we brought in another $400 heck from the 275,000 views

00:06:25.919 --> 00:06:33.520
on that video. So, that's over three grand, man. So, that makes you want to

00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:39.919
do another one. Well, that was back in in 2015. We probably get more views now.

00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:44.720
Okay. So, tell you what, we've matured as a professional. Uh Oh, shut up. Uh

00:06:45.919 --> 00:06:53.919
I'm going I'm going full on bean spiller

00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:57.840
here. We are not doing another album

00:06:53.919 --> 00:06:59.360
like in that form. A you don't want to

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

00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:09.120
doing another album. All right. But there will be sometime in I'm not

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

00:07:12.400 --> 00:07:19.400
do it right. There will be a tech themed

00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:23.080
like fairly high production

00:07:19.400 --> 00:07:26.000
value music video coming from Linus Tech

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

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,

00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:39.599
there's a song. It's recorded already. The the the the actual melody. Okay. No,

00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:45.280
I haven't heard this already. I haven't heard it with some placeholder lyrics.

00:07:41.919 --> 00:07:47.199
Very placeholder, but like it's pretty

00:07:45.280 --> 00:07:54.319
catchy. I haven't heard it. It's pretty catchy. Is this You bet. Okay. Awesome.

00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:56.080
Yeah. So, it's This is something that um

00:07:54.319 --> 00:08:01.120
that that we've been talking about actually for probably about 3 years.

00:07:59.280 --> 00:08:05.360
Well, before the Christmas holiday, well before we were in this office. Yeah. So,

00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:09.919
uh that's that's definitely a thing that's happening.

00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:16.560
Um other things that are happening. So, the 16K gaming

00:08:14.280 --> 00:08:23.280
setup, I hope I'm not really spoiling anything, but I just came back from

00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:25.039
filming the final video for that. So, uh

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

00:08:26.960 --> 00:08:35.560
parody. As much as I would love to do that a baby parody baby baby.

00:08:33.839 --> 00:08:41.919
Yeah. No, it's not that. All

00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:44.399
right. So, I don't know what just

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

00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:52.560
this is, but actually where this conversation took place was on my

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.

00:08:55.360 --> 00:09:02.640
So, let's kick the show off with me kind

00:08:58.959 --> 00:09:04.720
of admitting that I may have made a bit

00:09:02.640 --> 00:09:10.000
of a mistake. So, first of all, there was the news from Tech PowerUp from last

00:09:06.800 --> 00:09:12.959
week. Intel says AMD Epic processors

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:17.920
glued together in official slide deck. And to be clear, that was far from the

00:09:16.160 --> 00:09:24.200
only thing wrong with this slide deck. We we went kind of ham on Intel slide

00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:30.720
deck being unprofessional, childish, uh undignified, you pretty much name it.

00:09:27.560 --> 00:09:33.040
And I'm not backpedaling on the bulk of

00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:36.800
that, but um there's also a post on the forum

00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:44.800
here. This is this was posted by uh Johnny

00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:46.959
Johnny Corporal Tech and AMD basically

00:09:44.800 --> 00:09:50.640
produced a couple slides going like actually okay you know we have some

00:09:48.560 --> 00:09:53.600
partners their partner list isn't as long but at least it doesn't have any

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.

00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:03.360
Yep. But there was something that I did

00:10:00.959 --> 00:10:12.000
kind of screw up because I was not familiar with this particular technical

00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:14.000
term. So Dr. Cutras from Anontech made a

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

00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:24.959
I like that. Thank you. Yeah. Thanks, Ian. Hi. Uh made a point of messaging me

00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:26.720
via DM. FYI, he's so polite. Was it

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

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

00:10:33.839 --> 00:10:41.279
different than it being accurate. Here's what he said word for word. FYI, glued

00:10:38.160 --> 00:10:45.600
together is a technical term. Okay.

00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:48.680
Infinity fabric is a glue logic fabric,

00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:51.360
okay, and a common semiconductor

00:10:48.680 --> 00:10:55.279
microarchchitecture term. and he linked me to a Wikipedia article because while

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

00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:01.920
a little snarky. He's British. You'll

00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:05.360
see it in a lot of semiconductor research papers to deal with data

00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:10.240
movement around silicon or between chips. Examples include PCI Express,

00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:15.720
Envy Link, etc. In case you were unaware, I feel like it and thanks for

00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:18.560
the shout out. I feel like it was being

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

00:11:20.880 --> 00:11:27.519
slides was still pretty be mode. Yeah.

00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:31.040
Um, and it can it can be a technical term and that actually makes sense that

00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:36.079
it's a I'm not surprised at all. I thought it was incorrect because I

00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:41.480
thought their form of link I wasn't applicable to that. Yeah. But I think

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

00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:52.000
over saying that Epic is glued together.

00:11:49.839 --> 00:11:55.440
You heard it here first, but I'm not backpedaling over the rest of the

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

00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:06.399
the outrage on that comment. It was It was structured in a very angry

00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:10.320
aggressive way. I don't know. All right,

00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:14.480
speaking of outrage, HTC's keyboard

00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:18.800
Yeah. is showing ads to its users. I

00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:21.360
mean, oh, okay. Okay, here we go. HTC is

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

00:12:24.079 --> 00:12:32.880
describe something that wasn't broken. Okay, to be fair, for this situation,

00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:36.240
TouchPal is the keyboard and HTC uses

00:12:32.880 --> 00:12:38.399
TouchPal keyboard. So, what HTC thinks

00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:42.160
is or what people think is going on here is that

00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:47.360
TouchPal ran an update that started serving ads through the keyboard and HTC

00:12:44.800 --> 00:12:51.760
was like, "Whoa, what the heck?" and is now trying to stop this from happening.

00:12:49.839 --> 00:12:56.240
So, I don't think it was like HTC actively doing anything. I just think it

00:12:54.399 --> 00:13:00.959
was HTC losing control of something that they use. Here's what I don't

00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:07.279
understand. Why are they using TouchPal keyboard? I don't know.

00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:12.320
I don't know. I can't That part has continued to be confusing for me.

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:16.959
SwiftKey is free. Yeah. Well, Swift Key might be free in

00:13:14.959 --> 00:13:23.760
the context of an end user downloading it, but Swift Key might not be free to

00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:26.720
uh a skin maker wanting to, right? But

00:13:23.760 --> 00:13:31.519
but Google keyboard Google keyboard is fine and it's free. Like it's not my

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

00:13:34.880 --> 00:13:40.320
than any other piece of trash keyboard.

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

00:13:41.920 --> 00:13:49.200
Touchp. Okay. Yeah. Um they're they're they're all pretty garbo. Um and the

00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:53.440
only reason I like Swift Key is because there's a few little customizations that

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

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.

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

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

00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:15.199
either. Um, and that's that's pretty much it

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

00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:23.600
prediction of Swift Key is fantastic.

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

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

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

00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:42.320
I know we've all turned like helpless. I I like definitely run typos pretty much

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

00:14:44.800 --> 00:14:50.800
fine. Another creepy thing in that same vein right now is Google's auto

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

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

00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:05.040
email. It's going to take a second. Yeah. Well,

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

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

00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:18.639
say, "Okay, yes, no. Thumbs up. Smiley. Sad heart. Lol. Thanks. Got it done.

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.

00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:29.199
Sounds good. Big happy face. Very sad face. And a heart.

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

00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:36.880
could take my phone out. In the actual app, there's just three usually.

00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:42.399
Um uh but like I don't know that I I

00:15:39.839 --> 00:15:46.160
actually like it because it start but in because it's so creepy that it's

00:15:43.839 --> 00:15:49.360
starting to get really good. Like it started I was even talking to John about

00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:54.160
it. It has started suggesting responses that sound more like something that I

00:15:50.880 --> 00:15:55.600
would actually say. Oh, mine hasn't

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

00:15:58.160 --> 00:16:04.480
rarely used it. I think it's just farming the data from my Gmail. That's

00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:10.639
very interesting. Like I got one that was like, "Okay, great. That's awesome."

00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:12.720
And I was like, "That's exactly what I

00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:15.600
was going to type." Yeah. So, the next step is when it doesn't even bother

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

00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:23.759
delete it if you want, but it's already there. Yeah. Yeah. Really pretty epic.

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

00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:35.600
is from videocards.com. So, honestly, there's

00:16:32.160 --> 00:16:37.199
not a whole lot to it. Um, the only

00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:41.279
thing that was miss So, I've seen the board already. The only thing that was

00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:45.199
missing was the accessories, but now we're able to have a look at what is

00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:49.279
included. So, there's some kind of PCI Express riser card. I'm going to guess

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

00:16:51.040 --> 00:16:57.279
and leaving all the stuff in the packaging? Did they really do that?

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

00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:09.839
guess if this is like um like a a just for benchmarking type

00:17:07.360 --> 00:17:15.439
of product that it's pretty high-end, so might make sense. Um be super surprised.

00:17:13.199 --> 00:17:20.720
We've got like a GPU support bracket. It looks like we've got uh

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

00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:33.760
big page of stickers. There's a PC Ethernet card.

00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:36.440
This is what I don't get. You know, why?

00:17:33.760 --> 00:17:43.679
And this is coming from someone who actually

00:17:38.840 --> 00:17:46.679
made his mark like and and built his

00:17:43.679 --> 00:17:50.400
career on unboxing

00:17:46.679 --> 00:17:52.840
videos. Why did unboxing videos ever

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

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

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

00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:10.919
can still be better than this.

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

00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:20.160
watched a lot Yeah. But it doesn't necessarily m No, not really. Look how

00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:24.000
much light glint is on these freaking packages. I mean, this is a This one

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.

00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:33.360
This is literally useless. This is also useless. So is that. Is that a box of

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

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

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

00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:52.160
Okay. So you're Are you really making the argument I think Hold on. Hold on.

00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:55.919
You're telling me that video is better because you could watch frame by frame

00:18:53.919 --> 00:19:01.679
and maybe see the like part where you could I have for like really weird niche

00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:04.160
products. I have watched terrible like

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

00:19:05.919 --> 00:19:11.039
actually going on and like kind of scrubbed through it so I could see

00:19:09.280 --> 00:19:13.000
better because it was that bad and it has answered questions that I've been

00:19:12.320 --> 00:19:19.440
looking for. I've had it work for me.

00:19:16.360 --> 00:19:21.000
Okay. All right. I'll let it slide on

00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:26.120
this one. Um, also announced is the Crosshair

00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:31.520
6 Extreme. So,

00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:38.080
they're uh they're finally going full high-end on

00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:40.640
AM4. So, RGB lighting blah blah blah for

00:19:38.080 --> 00:19:46.160
more than a decade. It really it really does speak to the industry's confidence

00:19:43.360 --> 00:19:55.200
in Ryzen. Yeah. that we're finally seeing truly high-end boards because I

00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:58.000
would have AMD fans complain that like

00:19:55.200 --> 00:20:05.280
all the good boards are for Intel. Yeah. And it's like Yeah.

00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:09.840
Because other than like a handful of

00:20:05.280 --> 00:20:13.440
people who are completely blind to the

00:20:09.840 --> 00:20:17.679
products that exist, other than them,

00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:21.200
anybody else with, you know, $200 plus

00:20:17.679 --> 00:20:23.799
dollars to spend on a board is buying an

00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:29.440
Intel chip right now. Sorry.

00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:35.919
And the motherboard manufacturers, they don't just they don't just know this

00:20:32.320 --> 00:20:38.559
from like a they have an ounce of sense

00:20:35.919 --> 00:20:44.880
and can read a benchmark chart. They know this from a they are seeing actual

00:20:42.080 --> 00:20:50.400
real sales numbers. Yeah. As AMD's lineup gets more and more and more

00:20:47.840 --> 00:20:55.600
irrelevant. At this point in time, if I was building a new system, I would be

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

00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:02.480
a very long time. and seeing this kind

00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:08.000
of variety in the products that are available. Seeing someone like ASUS go,

00:21:05.520 --> 00:21:15.280
okay, sure. Yeah, we've got the confidence to put the R&D behind what

00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:18.159
will probably be a $300 to $400 board US

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

00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:26.720
this kind of high-end product moved off the shelf that we're going to recoup

00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:36.760
that cost and maybe even make some money. to see that is really confidence

00:21:30.360 --> 00:21:36.760
inspiring. I am I am just stoked. Um

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.

00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:46.960
I don't necessarily have the same confidence in Vega. Um, you're gonna

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

00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:55.520
of rant, but Frontier Edition is like

00:21:52.880 --> 00:22:02.799
far more of a piece of garbage than other reviews necessarily indicated. So,

00:21:59.159 --> 00:22:05.919
our our review of it is basically like

00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:11.880
this is this is an early access game.

00:22:05.919 --> 00:22:17.360
Like this is this is paying more for

00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:20.640
like access to the select DLC so that

00:22:17.360 --> 00:22:23.600
you can have the buggy gaming experience

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

00:22:25.600 --> 00:22:35.039
anyway. That's when they actually fix it.

00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:37.679
Like it's a bad product.

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

00:22:39.360 --> 00:22:45.919
where like the vast majority of the people who

00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:50.880
watch it are going to be sensible people who can look at the the comment section

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

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

00:22:57.360 --> 00:23:02.880
like sensible people who can look at at

00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:08.320
facts objectively and who can look at benchmarks objectively and who don't

00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:12.960
leave a comment because they just aren't that invested in it. And then there's

00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:17.360
going to be everybody else who engages with this video and is

00:23:14.840 --> 00:23:20.240
like and that's exactly what those people sound like. Like even the other

00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:23.840
side of the pool, cuz you're talking about people that would dislike

00:23:22.080 --> 00:23:26.880
something because you dislike something that is from AMD. Even from the other

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

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

00:23:35.280 --> 00:23:42.480
in Twitch chat, I saw just scroll through. All caps everything. AMD.

00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:52.360
No, no, no further information or

00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:54.720
contacts. Just my this is my

00:23:52.360 --> 00:24:00.880
opinion. I don't think that's cool cuz it's AMD.

00:23:56.400 --> 00:24:03.200
I didn't ask. Yeah, but thanks, I guess.

00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:06.320
I don't know. There's there there's people on each side. There there's

00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:09.760
there's Intel fanboys, there AMD fanboys, there's NVIDIA fanboys, and

00:24:07.760 --> 00:24:14.640
everybody hates each other. Yeah, everybody now the whole chat is just AMD

00:24:11.919 --> 00:24:19.840
no AMD no. All right. Thank you. Thank you everyone. That's wonderful. I

00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:21.760
appreciate it. All right. Uh next in the

00:24:19.840 --> 00:24:26.640
news. So this was originally posted by Johnny Corporal Tech on the forum and

00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:29.640
our original article here is from CBC.ca.

00:24:29.679 --> 00:24:37.360
The dark web's largest illegal marketplace founded by a Canadian Oops.

00:24:35.360 --> 00:24:43.600
I didn't know that. shut down by the US.

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

00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:55.919
has officially shut down the dark web marketplace Alpha Bay, a site 10 times

00:24:52.960 --> 00:25:01.440
as large as Silk Road, accused of allowing hundreds of thousands of people

00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:04.000
to buy and sell drugs, firearms,

00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:10.080
computer hacking tools, and other illicit goods. Cuz remember, there's

00:25:05.840 --> 00:25:14.320
lots of illegal stuff besides like drugs

00:25:10.080 --> 00:25:16.720
and guns. Like for example, um like a

00:25:14.320 --> 00:25:20.720
cell phone signal jammer would be the kind of thing that totally definitely

00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:28.480
exists. Super definitely is everywhere, but is

00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:30.240
illegal to own or operate in pretty much

00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:34.640
any developed nation, I would think. Yeah, definitely Canada. Yeah. Um, so,

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

00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:43.960
operation included the arrest of suspected Alphabet founder Alexandre

00:25:42.360 --> 00:25:48.880
Kazes Kaz, a 25-year-old Canadian citizen

00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:53.360
arrested on behalf of the United States in Thailand.

00:25:50.720 --> 00:25:57.760
He apparently took his own life a week later while in Thai custody and he faced

00:25:55.919 --> 00:26:02.080
charges relating to narcotics distribution, identity theft, money

00:26:00.159 --> 00:26:06.960
laundering, and related crimes. Basically, he was screwed and he was

00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:11.039
sure that he was not getting out, I guess. Yeah. Uh the usernames and

00:26:09.039 --> 00:26:15.440
passwords of thousands of buyers and sellers of illicit commodities have been

00:26:13.360 --> 00:26:19.600
identified and are subject to follow-up investigation by Europole. It's and

00:26:17.760 --> 00:26:23.720
partner agencies. It's just usernames and passwords. Like I You know

00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:30.600
what? Remember, this is the world where people

00:26:29.080 --> 00:26:36.080
give televangelists money to buy private

00:26:33.840 --> 00:26:40.400
jets. You know about this, right? No. Yeah.

00:26:38.320 --> 00:26:46.279
This has happened. Oh, yes. more than once where they literally got up there

00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:49.080
and they're like, "To spread the word of

00:26:46.279 --> 00:26:55.600
God, I need a private jet, so send me anything you can spare."

00:26:52.960 --> 00:27:00.320
Like, that's a thing. That's a real thing. They ride around in private jets

00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:08.120
that they literally said they were going to buy with donation money taxfree. Um,

00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:10.960
so don't

00:27:08.120 --> 00:27:15.320
underestimate people's ability to use the same username and password that they

00:27:13.120 --> 00:27:22.880
use on freaking Facebook for a dark web marketplace

00:27:19.120 --> 00:27:24.480
where you buy like drugs. Yes. Don't

00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:29.279
underestimate. Hopefully we get a follow-up article on this with like how

00:27:26.159 --> 00:27:32.240
many people got screwed. I super duper

00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:37.600
hope so. That would be entertaining. I I need to start the church of Lionus.

00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:40.880
Okay. Twi Twitch chats like need church

00:27:37.600 --> 00:27:43.279
of Lionus. I need a lot of Thread

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

00:27:46.159 --> 00:27:55.559
be an excellent televangelist probably. I I I could I could have so much fun

00:27:51.919 --> 00:27:55.559
with that stick.

00:27:56.000 --> 00:28:05.279
Luckily, you're Woodfall. Wood would follow. Best church. love it. Okay,

00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:08.399
we've got we've got ourselves at least

00:28:05.279 --> 00:28:10.799
at least like 30 followers right now,

00:28:08.399 --> 00:28:15.000
which which in some states is probably enough for tax exempt status.

00:28:15.520 --> 00:28:21.520
So, we are we are doing this.

00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:24.720
Awesome. Oh, man. Other people want Church of L. You can have your own

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

00:28:27.840 --> 00:28:34.520
things. A denomination. Yeah. Like a Okay. So, it's actually like the Church

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

00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:44.960
line ofism. Yes. Or Perfect. Yeah. And

00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:48.880
then like we can pretend to like fight to make it more interesting just like uh

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

00:28:51.919 --> 00:28:57.840
little quarrels but then behind the scenes we're like just finding ways to

00:28:55.440 --> 00:29:02.480
gather more money. Apparently John John Oliver's done it. I've heard of this.

00:29:00.399 --> 00:29:06.320
There you go. Okay. All right. What hasn't John Oliver done and they like

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

00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:14.960
think everyone knew it was a joke but people just wanted to contribute. was

00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:17.919
ironically working. Yes, I'm pretty sure that's what was going on. But I mean,

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

00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:25.320
all the idiots. Oh, well, give me money.

00:29:25.840 --> 00:29:32.880
Oh, terrible. Yeah. All right. No, no.

00:29:29.760 --> 00:29:35.440
The way we make money is uh much much

00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:39.440
more above board than all of that because we tell you right now, actually,

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,

00:29:42.320 --> 00:29:47.360
watch this ad spot so that I can buy.

00:29:45.520 --> 00:29:52.880
Definitely not a jet something. Not a jet, but so you can hire more people.

00:29:49.760 --> 00:29:55.000

going to be freaking dope. I I saw the

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

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

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

00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:57.279
like flipping going to be awesome. Um, I

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

00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:05.120
experience for a convention for me, but like as someone who really enjoys

00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:09.200
conventions and having the conventions that I go to be less and less about

00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:12.320
tech, seeing this is really exciting. Well, it's VR, dude. You could just

00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:16.640
leave people in VR and like go away. That's fair. I could probably do that.

00:31:14.399 --> 00:31:20.960
There's a case toss. Um, there's a Corsair key swapping competition and

00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:25.919
there's like leaderboards, prizes. You wouldn't believe how like some companies

00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:31.600
we reached out. We were like, "Hey, u can we get some prizes?" And they were

00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:34.240
like, "Sure, here's like boxes of like

00:31:31.600 --> 00:31:37.600
lanyards and cool crap." Some companies we reached out and we were like, "Hey,

00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:45.919
could we get some swag?" And they were like, "Boom, here's a Titan XP. Boom.

00:31:41.840 --> 00:31:50.640
Here's multiple GTX 1070s. Boom. Here's

00:31:45.919 --> 00:31:53.919
limited edition uh GeForce USB drives.

00:31:50.640 --> 00:31:57.039
or boom, here's literally like I think

00:31:53.919 --> 00:31:58.720
ASUS sent like 300 or 400 t-shirts.

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

00:32:02.159 --> 00:32:09.679
other person who's there. This thing is going to be swag central. Wow. Giveaway

00:32:07.919 --> 00:32:13.840
central. Well, okay, this is the thing. At like packs and stuff, all the really

00:32:11.760 --> 00:32:18.960
cool giveaways used to be from the PC guys. It was rarely the gaming

00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:23.600
companies. They might give out a shirt, but the PC hardware groups like MSI used

00:32:21.919 --> 00:32:28.399
to have sick giveaways. I remember that. Uh NZXT used to have sick giveaways.

00:32:25.600 --> 00:32:32.720
NVIDIA used to like giving away like shields like candy that one year. They

00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:37.039
would go into BOC. What my one of my favorite experiences that I ever had at

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

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

00:32:42.080 --> 00:32:48.080
hear it cuz it was right beside it. The first thing they did was the first

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

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

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.

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

00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:07.919
be upstaged by NVIDIA, let me tell you,

00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:12.399
AMD is going to have some stuff there. Some stuff that I actually can't even

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

00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:19.600
getting given away. Yeah. So, like this

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

00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:29.200
before seen Linus Media Group videos that will never be seen. Uh, whether

00:33:26.399 --> 00:33:32.960
they were rejected by the brand or that we couldn't get music licensing figured

00:33:31.120 --> 00:33:37.760
out for them. There's going to be a Channel Super Fun that will probably

00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:40.399
never see the light that will that might

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

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

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

00:33:52.559 --> 00:34:01.279
only. And we're doing a silent auction for BC Children's Hospital where I went

00:33:56.880 --> 00:34:03.840
around and I found a bunch of relics of

00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:07.679
Lionus Tech Tips. So there's a reverb drive from the original Wik server. Oh,

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

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

00:34:13.919 --> 00:34:20.800
Fallout bomb. Oh, for sick kids. I might

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

00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:28.720
technically That's why I want That's why I told them

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

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

00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:39.679
Scrapyard Wars PC. That would probably hurt me a little bit. that I I I told

00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:44.399
them that was the limit, but they were like they wanted like a build of some

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

00:34:46.240 --> 00:34:50.800
dip PC. Okay. So, there will be a build

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

00:34:54.159 --> 00:35:00.240
featured on still all the uh wiring. So,

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

00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:08.240
case. So, you could build a system in there. uh recreating the thermal setup

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.

00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:18.480
But yeah, that actually took like a long

00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:21.359
time. So anyway, LTX is going to be sick

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

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,

00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:32.960
uh bungee runs in real life toss, Rocket League in real life. There's an insane

00:35:31.839 --> 00:35:36.800
amount. We're going to have onstage unboxings. Two exclusive onstage

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

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

00:35:44.160 --> 00:35:50.000
really careful with it. Like ample amounts. Well, you know what? What we'll

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

00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:57.119
friends and we have like, you know, thousands of people there next year,

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.

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

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

00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:16.880
is that it's in Canada. I know. I received a lot of messages about that

00:36:14.160 --> 00:36:22.880
being a problem. I know. I know. But like what are we supposed to do? Like

00:36:18.880 --> 00:36:26.079
cart 16K gaming to like LA?

00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:27.400
Well, Seattle. Still. Yeah, I know.

00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:32.400

00:36:53.680 --> 00:37:00.320
comfy, like you are up against you're up against other sweatpants. So like that

00:36:58.640 --> 00:37:05.280

last sponsor of the day. I am not going

to eat as much of this as I did last time. Did you get like Did it hurt? I

00:37:32.240 --> 00:37:37.839
was. What is this?

00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:43.920
Traditional jerky. Oh, that's a new flavor. Mojo. Oh, wow. We've got new

00:37:41.280 --> 00:37:48.720
flavors. Sweet Sriracha barbecue. Oh, sick. And there are a lot of like level

I want mojo. No, you just got You just got owned right there. Rough. I'm going

00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:04.640
to go with traditional. All right. Savage Jerky. Their jerky is made with

00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:08.240
the best ingredients without nitrates or preservatives. And the goal was to

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.

00:38:11.359 --> 00:38:18.560
The inspiration comes from the flavors of garlic, lime, and cilantro, which is

00:38:15.200 --> 00:38:21.440
Mojo. Garlic, lime, and cilantro. Yeah.

00:38:18.560 --> 00:38:26.480
Yeah. So, I'm like super stoked on this guy right here. And because it brings

00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:32.760
out the natural flavor of premium beef, I love this stuff. Use offer code LTT to

stuff is really delicious. You just

00:38:40.720 --> 00:38:47.040
based on my experience last week should probably enjoy it a little bit at a

00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:50.000
time. And it depends on your like your tolerance level, right? That's why I

00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:57.440
want them to do the challenge pack, which I think we still haven't told them about, but here we go. No, only hosts.

00:38:55.119 --> 00:39:01.119
Host only. You can have us some spicy. You can have

00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:05.040
the really spicy one. Oh, that's good. This one's really good. This one's like

00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:12.119
actually not getting shared anymore. Okay. Oh, sick. All right. So, uh Oh,

snag the Oh, this is Mojo, by the way. Mojo. Freaking awesome. Savage Jerky.

00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:27.720
Next time we do a spot, send as much mojo. More Mojo and Maple Bacon. And

00:39:25.680 --> 00:39:32.240
how's the original? Uh, that's here. Oh, it's not open yet.

00:39:30.640 --> 00:39:37.200
Yeah. Oh, okay. Give a little knife thing. I'll try it a little later.

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.

00:39:39.839 --> 00:39:46.000
We could move on to the topic of hiring flow plane people.

00:39:43.920 --> 00:39:52.000
Um, or we can move on to the topic of the Noctua fans. Interesting. Have you

00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:55.480
not seen that? No. I kind of Okay. Yeah.

00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:59.040
I was This was posted by Ventus on the

00:39:55.480 --> 00:40:01.560
forum and apparently

00:39:59.040 --> 00:40:08.480
uh so this is from r/build a PC posted by Kendalf. visible

00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:14.960
manufacturing differences between Noctua fans made in Taiwan versus China.

00:40:12.680 --> 00:40:20.560
Yeah, I'm really wondering what your opinion is on this actually.

00:40:17.440 --> 00:40:22.720
I think the Twitch chat probably is too.

00:40:20.560 --> 00:40:27.440
Wow. Yeah. So, the fan blades on the Taiwan fans are noticeably smoother and

00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:31.359
more rounded. The flow acceleration channels on the

00:40:29.520 --> 00:40:35.680
blades of the Taiwan fans are more defined.

00:40:35.680 --> 00:40:42.079
The inner surface micro structures of the made in Taiwan's one have a distinct

00:40:40.560 --> 00:40:46.000
water drop shape whereas the made in China are just a shallow triangular

00:40:46.440 --> 00:40:53.839
cutout. I communicate I was going to say these sound like counterfeits even I

00:40:52.160 --> 00:40:57.359
communicated these differences with Noctua and they claim that the

00:40:56.160 --> 00:41:03.119
differences are within their manufacturing tolerances and do not

00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:05.680
affect performance. But Noctua is known

00:41:03.119 --> 00:41:11.680
for its reputation of the highest attention to detail. And I'm sure that's

00:41:09.280 --> 00:41:15.599
al also really good. That the Noctua engineers designed these tiny details to

00:41:13.680 --> 00:41:20.040
exacting specifications for some reason is basically what the the Reddit post

00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:24.480
continues to say. You should try this one.

00:41:21.800 --> 00:41:30.400
apparently. Now, I haven't heard them, but the made in China fans apparently

00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:35.839
have a noticeably louder drone when spinning at the same RPM RPM as the

00:41:33.760 --> 00:41:40.400
other fans. Now, Gamers Nexus is going to be

00:41:37.599 --> 00:41:44.240
apparently um doing tests and going to be making a video on it, which is cool.

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

00:41:46.720 --> 00:41:51.440
YouTube channel as well, so they'll probably make a video on this one. Good

00:41:49.760 --> 00:41:55.119
guys over there. Yeah, they've been they've actually done a lot of good

00:41:52.800 --> 00:41:57.839
content around this type of stuff. So, I enjoy that. This is more their

00:41:56.160 --> 00:42:01.200
wheelhouse than ours anyway, but I'll definitely be paying close attention and

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

00:42:04.359 --> 00:42:10.480
definitely firing up an email over to my

00:42:07.359 --> 00:42:14.319
contacts over there like what the heck

00:42:10.480 --> 00:42:14.319
is going on because

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

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

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

00:42:29.920 --> 00:42:37.359
selling digital influence which is a great business by the way because you

00:42:34.720 --> 00:42:42.319
don't have any manufacturing costs you don't have to carry any inventory. Well,

00:42:40.240 --> 00:42:46.480
I mean, okay, yes, you have to, you know, people like that, you know, and

00:42:45.040 --> 00:42:50.160
equipment and all that kind of thing, but but but these are one-time costs.

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,

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

00:42:58.640 --> 00:43:04.960
the lighting setup. It's somewhat more finite.

00:43:02.359 --> 00:43:08.880
Um, so I like the business of selling digital influence, but one of the

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

00:43:11.119 --> 00:43:17.000
able to do it would be a manufacturer of

00:43:14.319 --> 00:43:22.480
a physical product. And a lot of the philosophy that I'm

00:43:20.079 --> 00:43:26.920
developing for this company is actually borrowed from my perception of Noctua.

00:43:25.040 --> 00:43:34.319
Yeah, because I thought of Noctua that they were like

00:43:32.160 --> 00:43:38.480
the founders were somehow deeply involved in aerodynamics research or

00:43:37.040 --> 00:43:42.160
something at some university over there. I don't remember where I heard it, but

00:43:40.319 --> 00:43:47.119
like someone told me that someone told them that like that was the background,

00:43:44.319 --> 00:43:53.599
but that wasn't what happened at all. Rascom, the parent company of Noctua,

00:43:50.319 --> 00:43:56.800
was just like a smalltime European

00:43:53.599 --> 00:43:58.640
computer hardware distributor, like um

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

00:44:01.839 --> 00:44:07.200
they were just a distributor of other people's parts. And then Frozen is

00:44:05.599 --> 00:44:10.960
actually a perfect example of a company that also developed their own products

00:44:09.359 --> 00:44:15.599
at one point and then completely went off the deep end.

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

00:44:18.480 --> 00:44:23.440
the best? And they kind of went, well, I

00:44:21.520 --> 00:44:26.800
I went, "Do you have like brilliant amazing engineers?" And they were like,

00:44:25.200 --> 00:44:31.599
"Well, yeah, we have like, you know, good engineers, but but they're not, you

00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:36.319
know, leading researchers in the field of, you know, fluid dynamics or

00:44:33.920 --> 00:44:39.040
anything. They're they're engineers." And I was like, "Well, then why are

00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:43.839
yours better than someone else's?" And they're like, "Because we don't release

00:44:40.880 --> 00:44:48.000
it until it's right." Because of attention to detail. Because we care.

00:44:46.400 --> 00:44:53.079
And this doesn't sound like caring or attention to detail. No, it doesn't. So,

00:44:50.720 --> 00:44:57.520
this is kind of like this is kind of shaking because this is kind of shaking

00:44:55.520 --> 00:45:01.280
the foundation of a business that I, you know, haven't invested a dollar into

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

00:45:03.599 --> 00:45:10.359
want to start at some point and that I that I had planned to build around

00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:16.960
basically the knock to a philosophy. Charge as much as it takes to make a

00:45:14.480 --> 00:45:21.920
profit on the best product you could build. So it's going to be expensive,

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

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

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

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

00:45:38.400 --> 00:45:45.839
chat for the uh Reddit conversation does have a video doing the sound comparison.

00:45:43.200 --> 00:45:49.200
It does have a lot of uh frame color difference pictures. It has a lot of

00:45:47.440 --> 00:45:55.680
comparison images for a ton of different things. This guy has done a lot of work.

00:45:52.960 --> 00:46:00.040
He's obviously affected. He might be as much of a Noctua fanboy as you are.

00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:10.640
Wow. Huh. Well, let's um so see how that

00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:14.920
goes. I'm interested. Yeah. If this is if this

00:46:13.839 --> 00:46:19.319
is true, what is what is the name of that

00:46:17.520 --> 00:46:24.560
other brand? Um they're black and white fans. Oh,

00:46:22.240 --> 00:46:28.800
noise blocker. Noise blocker. If this is true, will you actually try a noise

00:46:26.560 --> 00:46:32.319
blocker fan? Wow.

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

00:46:33.920 --> 00:46:39.599
about it a lot a long time ago and this conversation has

00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:46.400
just concluded like there's nothing else to really talk about. It was just like

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

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

00:46:51.599 --> 00:46:57.440
you found one that fit your specifications. And it's not so much

00:46:55.440 --> 00:47:02.920
that I refused to use Noise Blocker or something like that. It's just like if

00:46:59.599 --> 00:47:05.680
Noise Blocker was better than an

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

00:47:08.480 --> 00:47:14.720
trusted about Noctua and trust about Noctua trusted. I don't know. It's like

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

00:47:17.200 --> 00:47:25.040
a big part of what I have trusted about Noctua is inside information that I have

00:47:23.040 --> 00:47:30.720
from being the product manager on their line and seeing real world RMA rates.

00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:36.720
They don't die or like anything can die, but they generally don't. Very uncommon.

00:47:33.839 --> 00:47:39.359
Very reliable. I'm I'm just saying right now, but if

00:47:38.319 --> 00:47:47.720
all these other things could be different, maybe that could be different, too. Noise Blocker Black

00:47:43.440 --> 00:47:50.480
Silent Pro fans look really

00:47:47.720 --> 00:47:54.800
slick. I'm just saying. All right. Well, speaking of companies that um are

00:47:52.720 --> 00:48:00.319
capable of both delighting and disappointing me, our next bit of news

00:47:57.119 --> 00:48:03.040
posted by HK05 on the forum is

00:48:00.319 --> 00:48:07.760
originally from videocards.com and is a rumor about

00:48:04.440 --> 00:48:11.599
Intel. So, Intel is allegedly working on

00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:14.119
multiple hex core coffee lake CPUs. So,

00:48:11.599 --> 00:48:19.880
Coffee Lake for those of you not familiar will be the replacement to KB

00:48:17.520 --> 00:48:25.280
Lake and that will be a mainstream processor. So, this tells us

00:48:22.640 --> 00:48:31.280
a couple things. This tells us either that Intel of its own accord had been

00:48:28.559 --> 00:48:38.119
finally intending to deliver a sixcore mainstream processor

00:48:33.319 --> 00:48:42.480
anyway before AMD dropped Ryzen. Yeah.

00:48:38.119 --> 00:48:44.640
or that Intel became aware that Ryzen

00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:48.160
was going to be pretty good through corporate

00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:53.200
espionage far before the rest of the industry knew about it and started

00:48:50.160 --> 00:48:55.920
working on this um or just already had

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

00:48:57.440 --> 00:49:03.920
they'd already had it, they could have done it with KB Lake, right? Whereas

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

00:49:05.599 --> 00:49:11.760
chipset. I think if they had been if

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

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

00:49:19.119 --> 00:49:25.359
their own, it's time or or they weren't

00:49:22.880 --> 00:49:30.480
willing to throw a fast one at motherboard manufacturers again so hard

00:49:27.680 --> 00:49:33.599
with mainstream processors. Okay, that's it might be easier to throw a fast one

00:49:32.240 --> 00:49:41.079
at them with motherboards that they won't have to make nearly as many of.

00:49:36.640 --> 00:49:41.079
This could be very disruptive to Ryzen.

00:49:41.480 --> 00:49:47.839
Yeah, but I think Ryzen has AMD as a

00:49:45.599 --> 00:49:50.800
whole probably at this point gotten a lot more customers just because people

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

00:49:54.800 --> 00:49:59.920
I feel like a lot of the communication that's currently going around AMD isn't

00:49:58.160 --> 00:50:03.200
going to go away even if Intel releases a good processor because there are

00:50:01.599 --> 00:50:06.480
certain like business practice things that people didn't like. That's true.

00:50:05.200 --> 00:50:10.520
Yep. You can. So, I think those communication lines might keep them

00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:15.839
going. And I mean, a lot of people will buy based on a particular

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

00:50:17.839 --> 00:50:26.079
great." And just go buy them. And if either product is like good, yeah, then

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.

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

00:50:33.119 --> 00:50:38.800
NVIDIA were pretty comparable. So, like,

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.

00:50:42.160 --> 00:50:50.720
like an X800 Pro was like pretty

00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:52.160
freaking similar to a 7800 GT or

00:50:50.720 --> 00:50:59.760
whatever the contemporary one was. I can't I can't remember exactly. Um was

00:50:56.240 --> 00:51:01.200
it 60 6800 6800 GT? I don't I don't

00:50:59.760 --> 00:51:05.119
remember. Anyway, they were pretty darn close. It came down to whether you liked

00:51:02.800 --> 00:51:07.920
Catalyst Control Center or was it still called Detonator at the time? I don't

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

00:51:10.640 --> 00:51:15.520
Intel. No, I love that that meme is still

00:51:15.880 --> 00:51:23.680
going. All right. Anyway, here's kind of

00:51:19.520 --> 00:51:26.319
the summary of these rumors. K version

00:51:23.680 --> 00:51:31.920
will have a 3.7 GHz base with hyperthreading enabled. So that's 12

00:51:28.079 --> 00:51:33.680
threads and the nonK running at 3.2 TDP

00:51:31.920 --> 00:51:37.440
of 95 watts which should be quite doable. And then there will apparently

00:51:35.599 --> 00:51:42.720
and that'll be the flagship. So that'll be the

00:51:38.680 --> 00:51:46.240
8700, the 8700 series. Then the uh there

00:51:42.720 --> 00:51:49.359
will be a six core i5 as well. Wow. Oh,

00:51:46.240 --> 00:51:53.119
that's interesting. With that being the

00:51:49.359 --> 00:51:56.920
slowest six core desktop, the 8600 K 3.6

00:51:53.119 --> 00:51:58.960
GHz and then 95 watt TDP, no

00:51:56.920 --> 00:52:03.920
hyperthreading. Wait, no. The slowest six core will be a Core

00:52:00.920 --> 00:52:09.559
i58400. Wow. So that could be like that

00:52:03.920 --> 00:52:12.319
could be like $170. $175 price point.

00:52:09.559 --> 00:52:17.040
Oo, that one that the article is saying looks like a direct response to AMD's

00:52:14.240 --> 00:52:23.599
Ryzen 5. Intel will also apparently introduce an actual mobile CPU with six

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

00:52:25.680 --> 00:52:34.319
that in something like an Acer Predator 21X refresh or something along those

00:52:31.079 --> 00:52:36.240
lines. Wow.

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

00:52:38.720 --> 00:52:43.280
chat. One more thing. It's apparently unclear at this time whether these will

00:52:41.920 --> 00:52:47.040
require new motherboards, though I would have thought they would. Yeah. So, don't

00:52:45.200 --> 00:52:51.839
quote me on that one. I suspect they will. Um, it it has divulged it. It

00:52:49.359 --> 00:52:55.839
started with AMD no and then it it transferred into Intel no with this

00:52:53.920 --> 00:53:02.160
article, which was funny, and now it's just turned into like anything no.

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

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

00:53:09.040 --> 00:53:12.520
to fight to survive.

00:53:13.040 --> 00:53:21.440
All right. So, we can probably skim Yeah, there really isn't much going on

00:53:17.040 --> 00:53:24.880
here. Oh, okay. Um, so Nintendo applied

00:53:21.440 --> 00:53:26.800
for a patent for its uh Nintendo 64

00:53:24.880 --> 00:53:31.599
controller. They reapplied for Nintendo 64 controller patents. Um, so there's

00:53:29.520 --> 00:53:37.200
probably a Nintendo 64 classic coming after the SNES Classic. Um, but who

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

00:53:39.359 --> 00:53:45.280
would happen anyways. So, yeah. Cool.

00:53:42.480 --> 00:53:50.079
Yeah. Can you like how much are NAS Classics at this point? Very expensive.

00:53:47.680 --> 00:53:54.640
Um, apparently people have found some that got restocked. Hm. So, there's a

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

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

00:54:02.559 --> 00:54:11.119
people that want to have the set like Nintendo. Why do you hate money? Yeah. I

00:54:07.040 --> 00:54:12.319
just I don't even They have so much. I I

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

00:54:15.680 --> 00:54:22.880
company." I'm like, "No, they're not. Nintendo can survive for like ever while

00:54:20.960 --> 00:54:26.640
making terrible decisions because they have so much money. It doesn't even

00:54:25.119 --> 00:54:30.559
matter. They they'll like fail repeatedly and then just release another

00:54:28.400 --> 00:54:34.559
like Wii or Switch. The Switch is doing incredibly well. It's like, oh, the Wii

00:54:33.119 --> 00:54:38.559
U didn't matter and no one knew it existed. That's fine. Nintendo will just

00:54:36.880 --> 00:54:42.880
survive and then just smash the gaming world again with some other new console.

00:54:40.720 --> 00:54:49.520
Doesn't matter. They have like a way more intense version of the Microsoft

00:54:45.119 --> 00:54:49.520
like every second OS thing. Mhm.

00:54:49.960 --> 00:54:56.319
Yeah. Um H this is kind of funny. Yeah.

00:54:54.640 --> 00:54:59.520
Posted by Dasin on the forum. The original article here is from the

00:54:59.559 --> 00:55:05.920
BBC. A Chinese mall introduces husband

00:55:03.200 --> 00:55:11.280
storage pods for shopping wives. Husbands can play old school games like

00:55:08.079 --> 00:55:12.880
Tekken 3 in the pods.

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,

00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:21.760
not necessarily. Uh, apparently there's no ventilation or air conditioning. Some

00:55:19.839 --> 00:55:26.559
guy sat in and played for 5 minutes and was just drenched in sweat. Okay, so

00:55:24.880 --> 00:55:30.400
maybe better ones. Yeah, maybe better ones. So, these are glass pods where

00:55:28.880 --> 00:55:34.960
women can leave their partners while they shop. Inside each individual pod is

00:55:33.119 --> 00:55:40.640
a chair, monitor, computer, and game pad, and men can sit and play retro

00:55:37.280 --> 00:55:42.720
1990s games. Service is currently free.

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

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

00:55:49.920 --> 00:55:56.440
like pair up with the person that you're shopping with and as they make

00:55:53.480 --> 00:55:59.359
purchases, it like gives you more time. You know what I mean? So, you

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

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

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

00:56:11.359 --> 00:56:19.040
bring up that the the nos in chat switched to uh money no, Nintendo no,

00:56:16.559 --> 00:56:24.000
and profit no. So, excellent. Good job. Thank you for the update. Keep going.

00:56:21.359 --> 00:56:29.440
Um, love to see it. The original article here is from Tech Crunch. YouTube

00:56:26.799 --> 00:56:36.400
launches its counterterrorism experiment for wouldbe ISIS recruits. And uh

00:56:32.880 --> 00:56:38.640
basically what's going on here is that

00:56:36.400 --> 00:56:42.720
now when a potential ISIS recruit searches for known extremist content on

00:56:41.040 --> 00:56:47.040
YouTube using a predefined set of keywords, they will instead be

00:56:44.880 --> 00:56:56.400
redirected to videos that deconstruct and confront the terrorist group. So uh

00:56:51.280 --> 00:56:58.400
no. ISIS no. ISIS no. I get way too much

00:56:56.400 --> 00:57:03.839
entertainment from this. I I am completely okay with this. So these are

00:57:00.720 --> 00:57:06.799
curated YouTube videos debunking ISIS

00:57:03.839 --> 00:57:11.359
recruiting themes. This open methodology was developed from interviews with ISIS

00:57:09.000 --> 00:57:15.359
defectors, respects users privacy, and can be deployed to tackle other types of

00:57:13.200 --> 00:57:18.240
violent recruiting discourses online. So that's where this gets kind of dicey.

00:57:16.799 --> 00:57:24.119
That does get a little where is the line? Yeah. So the recruit the redirect

00:57:21.680 --> 00:57:28.799
method began with an 8week pilot program enlisting 320,000 viewers that explored

00:57:27.280 --> 00:57:32.559
some key insights around the kind of things that potential ISIS recruits

00:57:30.319 --> 00:57:36.720
search for. To be fair though, this YouTube is not a government website.

00:57:34.799 --> 00:57:40.880
Mhm. They can suggest and they have a suggestion algorithm. They can suggest

00:57:38.160 --> 00:57:45.280
whatever they want to you. This is why stuff like Floatplane makes sense.

00:57:43.920 --> 00:57:49.119
Except maybe not for that type of content. out. But like if you if you

00:57:47.520 --> 00:57:52.720
want to specifically see one thing that you're searching for, going to one

00:57:50.799 --> 00:57:56.240
website that has like a crazy machine learning algorithm that's trying to just

00:57:54.319 --> 00:58:00.319
give you what it wants to give you is not necessarily the greatest way to go.

00:57:58.480 --> 00:58:05.680
So effective deterrence apparently include documentary videos is a good

00:58:03.280 --> 00:58:10.319
idea. Citizen journalism. That one's interesting. Videos that feature

00:58:07.119 --> 00:58:11.520
religious debates and videos from ISIS

00:58:10.319 --> 00:58:15.280
defectors. I wouldn't have thought necessarily the third one. The religious

00:58:13.520 --> 00:58:20.240
debate one is weird because I could just see that fueling someone even more.

00:58:17.440 --> 00:58:26.920
Well, maybe not. I mean, maybe these people are obviously Okay. Okay. I'm

00:58:23.280 --> 00:58:29.839
going to be careful here. But I would

00:58:26.920 --> 00:58:37.520
think that someone who manages to be converted to an

00:58:32.680 --> 00:58:41.359
extremist is probably pretty um how you

00:58:37.520 --> 00:58:43.040
say uh the the force would work on them.

00:58:41.359 --> 00:58:47.680
They're probably pretty simple, suggestable. Yes. Right. Okay, there we

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

00:58:49.280 --> 00:58:57.520
basically anyone. Basically anyone. So, if you just throw a debate in front of

00:58:54.599 --> 00:59:01.040
them, maybe that even Qui-Gon, who never successfully does it in the movies,

00:58:58.799 --> 00:59:06.599
would be able to manage it. Too too many Star Wars memes. Sorry. Um, yeah, I

00:59:04.799 --> 00:59:12.079
that's interesting. I like I I can't be upset

00:59:09.359 --> 00:59:12.079
about it.

00:59:12.799 --> 00:59:20.400
this particular instance I have no issue with at all. Um, seeing where this goes

00:59:17.839 --> 00:59:24.000
could be a big problem. Uh, again, I personally think it's private company.

00:59:22.480 --> 00:59:27.359
It's not a government agency. They can kind of do whatever they want. Uh, I

00:59:25.920 --> 00:59:30.960
might not like it, but that would just incite people to use other platforms

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.

00:59:32.640 --> 00:59:40.079
You have the freedom to use other things if you would like to. Um, hopefully they

00:59:38.079 --> 00:59:44.960
don't take it much further than this. Trying to stop people from becoming

00:59:42.520 --> 00:59:50.050
terrorists. Heck yeah. Super down with that. Trying to stop people from using

00:59:47.040 --> 00:59:50.920
Edge browser.

00:59:53.280 --> 01:00:00.559
And that's the WAN Show for today. Thank you guys for tuning in. We

00:59:58.160 --> 01:00:03.680
will see you again next week. Same. Let's not actually leave yet. Oh,

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

01:00:06.079 --> 01:00:12.000
recruiting for Floatplane. If you want to be a developer and you want to come

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

01:00:13.680 --> 01:00:22.000
now and on Floatplane if you want to see it. Uh unfortunately, I am looking

01:00:18.880 --> 01:00:24.000
specifically for Canadians or Americans

01:00:22.000 --> 01:00:29.200
who have a degree in a highly related field like computer science or like

01:00:27.040 --> 01:00:32.960
software engineering. It has to be very directly related. Um that is because of

01:00:31.599 --> 01:00:38.160
like immigration law and all this kind of stuff. We we have already picked up

01:00:35.119 --> 01:00:40.799
two guys uh that don't fit within that

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

01:00:42.160 --> 01:00:47.760
them employed because Canada doesn't want you to have people who are employed

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

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

01:00:52.400 --> 01:00:58.319
easier and we're just going for Canadians or Americans with a full

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

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

01:01:03.599 --> 01:01:08.400
are interested, you want to apply back and front end. Um, check out those

01:01:07.040 --> 01:01:12.319
videos. It goes into more specifics there about even what the heck float

01:01:10.079 --> 01:01:17.440
plane is. Employment, no. What you'd be doing. Is that what people are doing

01:01:13.839 --> 01:01:20.480
now? Employees, no. Canada, no. Edge,

01:01:17.440 --> 01:01:22.640
no. Oh god, I love that. I don't know

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

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.

01:01:30.000 --> 01:01:36.559
Dang it. I'm not signed in. What a nerd. I know.

01:01:34.960 --> 01:01:42.079
What a nerd. Whatever. These guys have been watching for like I'm talking about

01:01:39.040 --> 01:01:43.760
the uh the archive. If anyone actually

01:01:42.079 --> 01:01:49.520
made it this far into the video, what's another like 30 seconds

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

01:01:51.839 --> 01:01:54.799
busy enjoying this

01:01:55.799 --> 01:02:04.000
jerky. Hey, someone said Floatplane. Yes.

01:02:01.040 --> 01:02:04.000
I'll take that meme

01:02:07.160 --> 01:02:11.440
break. Sorry, I have to sign into

01:02:12.680 --> 01:02:21.720
uh I have to sign into my password manager in order to sign in.

01:02:18.200 --> 01:02:24.000
Oh. Oh, everything is

01:02:21.720 --> 01:02:31.119
awful. All in the name of security though, right?

01:02:25.920 --> 01:02:31.119
Pretty much. Yep. Yep. That's a

01:02:35.640 --> 01:02:43.839
security. I'm just tired of having

01:02:40.280 --> 01:02:45.920
accounts compromised. Yeah,

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

01:02:49.760 --> 01:02:55.839
you 200k a year.

01:02:53.520 --> 01:03:01.880
And in response in response to your answer, no, I will not be doing it

01:02:58.000 --> 01:03:01.880
either. Yeah.

01:03:02.880 --> 01:03:12.559
All right. Let's see if that works. Boom. We're in. All right. Someone's

01:03:08.960 --> 01:03:15.119
like 200k. Yes.

01:03:12.559 --> 01:03:17.920
So, what do we got? Casino technology is f. That's actually a pretty good

01:03:16.160 --> 01:03:22.480
episode. It's been a little The comments on that have been interesting cuz there

01:03:19.520 --> 01:03:25.920
some people feel quite strongly about casinos. I didn't really expect that was

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

01:03:28.720 --> 01:03:34.480
though? I don't know. It's just been an interesting comment section.

01:03:31.880 --> 01:03:38.280
Interesting. Um necessarily been pointed at us. It's

01:03:35.920 --> 01:03:46.559
just been interesting. Mezzanine update 11 is now here. Yay. Woo. Look at that.

D. See, I I I think you could have had an even clickier title for that. Um, I

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

01:04:21.119 --> 01:04:27.280
think the thumb Well, that that's the subject of this one is actually building

01:04:25.200 --> 01:04:32.640
the desk PC and getting everything mounted. So, there's this is part one of

01:04:29.280 --> 01:04:34.400
two. Ah, so the other one focuses more

01:04:32.640 --> 01:04:40.720
on the monitors. Part two might even do better. Part two is the one that I

01:04:37.280 --> 01:04:45.200
