1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:08,880
All right, and we're live this time with

2
00:00:05,279 --> 00:00:11,360
my screen sharing working and no blue

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:15,360
screens. And no blue screen. You know what's interesting? This will be a good

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:21,920
uh very early show discussion is someone told me when we ended the show last week

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:23,920
and then like popped right back back in.

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:29,679
Um they don't see the first 30 seconds because of the ad. Oh. So, whenever we

7
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:34,239
do the first 30 seconds of our show, it actually gets cut off because the way

8
00:00:32,239 --> 00:00:38,800
that Twitch integrates ads is they just put it over top of the content, whereas

9
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:43,520
YouTube has a different approach that I'm used to. So, I thought that was

10
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:47,360
interesting. So, that means no one will see this until it's uploaded in the

11
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:50,879
archive. Yeah, it's cool. They'll never know it was there. We could do anything.

12
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:56,559
I mean, except that the other thousands of people will see it. So, yeah, there's

13
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:58,079
that. Someone says no sound. Yes, there

14
00:00:56,559 --> 00:01:04,080
is. Um, yes, there is. I'm monitoring. Well,

15
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,560
yeah. Okay. No, there is sound. Cuz I was going to say, remember in the

16
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:10,880
recording we did, there was no sound. That was the whole problem. True. There

17
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:17,040
wasn't. But the levels are all going and the monitoring is working. So, way to

18
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:19,360
troll us. We love you guys so much. So,

19
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:24,560
very much. All right. So, so let's kick off the

20
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:29,439
show with Oh, right. No. Yes. Wait. What are our topics? Right. Razer has the new

21
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:33,040
Blade 14, which is an allnew version of the original Blade 14 that takes

22
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:37,200
everything that I thought was shite about the original one and improves it

23
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:42,079
to the point where, and this you know what, Min, their their CEO, backed me

24
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:46,399
into a corner on this one because at CES, he made me promise that if they

25
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:51,360
fixed everything I complained about about the original Blade 14 that I would

26
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:54,799
go on camera with a revised model and say that it's the perfect notebook. And

27
00:01:53,200 --> 00:02:00,079
I was like, if you guys can fix everything I complained about, then I

28
00:01:56,399 --> 00:02:02,719
will. And they did. So that's going to

29
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:07,360
be that's going to be awkward. Um, what else we got this week? Awkward,

30
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:09,599
actually. PEL is a new wireless standard

31
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:13,760
that looks to replace those monolithic cell phone towers with something that's

32
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:18,560
smaller, easier to install, but would require many more of them, but could

33
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,480
potentially give us much better speeds.

34
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:25,200
Uh then we have Google is now going to be encrypting your searches and more on

35
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:30,160
that and then the fact that a thing called popcorn time existed for a very

36
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:36,440
short period of time and everything entailing that. All right, so let's uh

37
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:36,440
get this rolling.

38
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:01,200
And our sponsors today, Squarespace, the

39
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:09,200
easy way to have a beautiful website for yourself or for someone else, as well as

40
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:10,280
Hotspot Shield, so you can get 20% off

41
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:15,760
your elite subscription. Slick threw me off

42
00:03:13,519 --> 00:03:18,480
there. He's like touching things on my screen. No, no, it's okay. It's muted.

43
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,840
Um, yeah, because people were saying audio is echoing. So, I thought that

44
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:28,000
might have been it. I tried to pause it, but then I saw that it was No, I think they're trolling us. Um, so the right

45
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:33,760
Hotspot Shield, you can get 20% off elite pricing with offer code Linus, and

46
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:38,080
that is the fast, easy way to get a VPN set up. It's also quite inexpensive,

47
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:42,640
especially when you get that 20% off using our offer code. And yes, it's the

48
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:48,200
old intro. Why is the WAN Show early? That is an excellent question and let me

49
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:53,920
uh go ahead and direct your attention

50
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:56,080
to daylight savings time is stupid. So

51
00:03:53,920 --> 00:04:01,200
if you Google daylight savings time is stupid and uh it'll come up with

52
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:05,760
thoughts from a gamer it's stupid why it should be abolished. How it's stupid. 14

53
00:04:03,519 --> 00:04:10,239
reasons that it needs to end forever. Daylight savings time is a thing in some

54
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:15,599
parts of North America, not even all of them, which I was baffled to discover

55
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:18,639
when I was a kid. Yeah, like I actually recently discovered that. I thought

56
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:23,280
daylight savings time was literally a worldwide thing. No. And then like

57
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:28,000
fairly recently, I was like, what? It's some parts of North America, even within

58
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:32,080
Canada, there are provinces that do not use daylight savings time. So confusing.

59
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:37,919
So every 6 months the clocks jump forward an hour or back an hour in order

60
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,919
to in the spring give us more usable

61
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:45,600
daylight during the day which is a factor when everyone's working outside

62
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:49,120
in the fields and less of an issue in

63
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,639
the modern age. So that is that is why

64
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:56,320
the show is a little bit you could just shift your like sleep cycle. Yeah, you

65
00:04:54,400 --> 00:05:00,720
could do that. Yeah. So companies could have their own thing, but there's no

66
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:03,759
real reason for us to just be not in sync with the rest of the world every

67
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:10,400
six months. Yeah. Yeah. Because if you're farmer in the field, you need more working daylight. Well, that's why

68
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:12,160
farmers get up early. Exactly.

69
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:15,600
You don't need to change the time for that.

70
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:19,360
Doesn't Doesn't the rooster crow at a certain time depending on the sun, no

71
00:05:17,039 --> 00:05:23,440
matter what time the clock says? That's my understanding. Although if there are

72
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:27,360
any farmers watching, we would love to hear your thoughts on rooster crowing.

73
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:31,360
If they all have a watch on and then that's how they crow. I don't know. I

74
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:36,000
don't know. All right. So, our better than Bieber segment today is

75
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:42,080
significantly better than Bieber because anything in outer space is automatically

76
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:45,360
better than Bieber. It is the 80th

77
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,639
birthday of Yuri Gargaren. I'm not 100%

78
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:51,280
sure how to pronounce his last name. I'm very sorry about that. I know Neil Armstrong cuz he's like, you know,

79
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:56,720
because we're so Americanized up here, the only thing we know is like American

80
00:05:53,600 --> 00:06:00,000
heroes and celebrities. But it is his

81
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:04,600
80th birthday and he was the first man

82
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:07,840
in space. So congratulations, Yuri.

83
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:11,840
Congratulations, human race. What a big

84
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:13,919
deal that was. So that was uh March 9th.

85
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:19,240
That was 5 days ago. So he went into space for a

86
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:22,080
108minute flight on April 12th,

87
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:27,919
1961. He was born into a poor family March 9th, 1934. In 1955, he was called

88
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:33,759
up for military service and sent to study aviation in Orinberg. And then on

89
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:36,880
December 9th, 1959, he applied to join a

90
00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:38,880
squad for cosminaut candidates. How cool

91
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:42,080
would that be? Actually really cool. First man in space. I always wanted to

92
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,759
be an astronaut. Then I was like, "Wow, I'm really not intelligent enough for

93
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:49,039
this." After his flight, he was never allowed to fly into space again.

94
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:54,880
Something he dreamt of. And he was actually killed in a MiG 15 UTI crash

95
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:57,840
near the town of Kerach. Sorry, I don't know how to pronounce that either. You

96
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:01,680
weren't even I saw that coming and I was like, "Oh no."

97
00:06:59,919 --> 00:07:05,960
So that was on a routine training flight, but he would have been 80.

98
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:10,319
That's how. Isn't that cool? That's actually

99
00:07:08,479 --> 00:07:12,880
really cool. I I I like I like all the space news. That's part of the reason

100
00:07:11,599 --> 00:07:18,000
why it always gets in the better than Bieber segment because space news is just interesting. People have heard my

101
00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:21,919
rant. And it's better than Bieber in general. Yeah, exactly. I mean, so is

102
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:26,639
anything. So is this t-shirt. So is this t-shirt. Well, oh, I forgot to wear my

103
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:30,800
Linus Tech Tips t-shirt today. You wore it yesterday. I have my holy balls one.

104
00:07:28,479 --> 00:07:34,880
Yeah. Oh, bummer. All right, so let's move into our first real news item of

105
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:43,199
the week. The original poster for this is DM012 onlineus techtips.com and Amazon

106
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:45,599
Prime. It's official. The cost is going

107
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:50,000
up. The good news is that if you already have a subscription, you can lock in for

108
00:07:47,599 --> 00:07:53,440
one more year at your old rates, which I actually think is pretty generous.

109
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:56,960
That's not too bad. I honestly when I first read this, not this one, but when

110
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:00,960
we first reported on it a few weeks back, um I thought they were just going

111
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:05,520
like, "Yep, as of this month, it is now this much more." because that's how like

112
00:08:03,599 --> 00:08:09,199
everyone else on the planet does their rate increases.

113
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:14,639
Yeah. But no, they I think they took a very consumerfriendly approach to it. So here

114
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:19,680
we've got someone posting their letter. This is DM012's post. Um so hey, you

115
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:27,360
know, just to let you know it's going to be increasing. So as of July 31st, 2015,

116
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:30,160
I mean the guy's got like like 15 months

117
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:35,039
to enjoy it at the old rate. uh your membership will renew at $49 a year. Um

118
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:40,399
and so that's the student rate. So the student rate went from 39 to 49 and then

119
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:43,839
the grown-ups rate went from I'm not saying students aren't grown up. I'm

120
00:08:41,839 --> 00:08:47,120
just saying like there could be students that are older than you. Actually there

121
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:51,440
is students. Yeah. 100%. Students of life or students at school. Did you know

122
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:56,880
that in BC actually I don't know. Did you know this um post-secary education

123
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:58,800
is free for seniors? What? No. Yeah. You

124
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:02,560
can just go take classes at university at like UBC. What? Is that like a

125
00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:08,640
government sponsored thing or is that done by the schools? I have no idea. That's so random. Yeah. So, my my mom's

126
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:12,880
talking about like her retirement plan and she's like, "Yeah, you know, well, I

127
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:16,640
went to school, you know, and then I went to high school and then I went to

128
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:21,440
university and then I started teaching in a school and then I'm going to retire

129
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:25,519
and go back to school." Like, mama, I love you, but I would go for

130
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:28,480
certain classes if they were free and I was retired. I definitely go for

131
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:33,040
certain. So there you go. Very few people take advantage of it. Um so

132
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:38,320
anyway, so for for other people it goes from $79 a year to $99 a year. And I

133
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:44,480
don't know. I mean given that the rumor was it could go up anywhere from up to

134
00:09:40,399 --> 00:09:45,600
like $40. $100 a year. I don't know.

135
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:49,920
What do you think? I'm still not going to get Prime because Amazon.ca is

136
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:53,279
terrible. Okay. If you were in the US, would you pay $100 a year for Prime?

137
00:09:51,519 --> 00:09:58,080
Probably. When you consider that you get instant video, um, when you consider

138
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:01,200
that you get free shipping, when you consider there's it's it's free

139
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:04,560
shipping, right? And the Kindle loaning library, lending library, and I would

140
00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:09,680
get it for free shipping. There's something else that they have coming, right? I don't know. I don't pay as much

141
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:13,839
attention as I probably should because I'm not American. So, it does not Well, it's in the docks. So, I was giving you

142
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:19,120
an opportunity to talk because apparently there were complaints you didn't talk enough last week. But since

143
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:22,880
you're not going to take the bait, uh there's a rumor that Amazon will be

144
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:26,399
launching some kind of a music service. They already have that and that would

145
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:31,519
MP3. If you buy MP3s, you can stream it through their website. No, but this would be a streaming service. So like

146
00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:34,560
some kind of like all you can eat style streaming service. So So there's a rumor

147
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:38,480
that they're going to have a streaming service and then that might be bundled

148
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:41,279
with Prime as well. Nobody really knows what's going on. You know why I knew

149
00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:45,760
they had at least what they had so far for that? I was trying to buy because I

150
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:49,600
was like, I should buy my music because I'm getting frustrated on trying to

151
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:53,120
listen to YouTube albums of people's music because ads will play while I'm

152
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:56,160
trying to run and sometimes it's like a half hour ad. Yeah. Yeah. So, I'm just

153
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,760
like, okay, I don't really want to like stop and skip the ad. So, I was like, K,

154
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:04,640
I will buy my music. I'll be a good citizen and I will buy my music. Not

155
00:11:01,839 --> 00:11:08,560
possible to buy digital version of what I wanted to buy because I wanted to buy

156
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:12,320
Arctic Monkeys album AM and I was like, okay. So, I go on Amazon.com, try to buy

157
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:16,079
it. Oh, you're a Canadian citizen. Can't buy. So, I'm like, "Oh, okay. I'll just

158
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:20,240
get it from Amazon.ca for what I'm guessing is like two bucks more or

159
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:23,480
something. Go there. No MP3 version. MP3 downloaded not supported in Canada."

160
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:28,480
It's like, "What?" I have to go buy a music CD from

161
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:32,000
Brick and Mort. Like, when was the last time I've done that? I don't even know

162
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:37,600
where to go. Like, I don't know if Best Buy even has a music section. Do you remember A&B Sound? Yeah, they don't

163
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:42,800
exist anymore. But that was probably the last place I actually bought a CD. And

164
00:11:39,839 --> 00:11:46,640
they don't exist. They're gone. I know. What do I do? It's because their entire

165
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:51,279
business model was selling CDs and it's dead. Oh my goodness. Did you try

166
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:56,800
iTunes? I don't I don't want to do iTunes. I don't want iTunes on my

167
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:59,760
computer. It's a big piece of garbage,

168
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:04,640
but it works. I've bought songs through iTunes. I I had to there. I was looking

169
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:08,079
for some stupid obscure thing like at some Christian band or something and I

170
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:14,920
needed this song cuz I thought it was awesome and I was like okay where can I

171
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:19,519
get this like nope iTunes nope that's

172
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:23,680
it. So, speaking of the difficulties

173
00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:26,720
that exist with legitimately obtaining

174
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:28,000
legitimate content, let's move into what

175
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:34,399
I think is going to be one of our biggest topics this week, and that is

176
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:36,560
Popcorn Time. So, this is a service that

177
00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:43,519
launched. It launched this week, right? This was fast. This was really fast. So,

178
00:12:39,519 --> 00:12:45,680
it launched like days ago. And the idea

179
00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:50,240
was, I think, for it to be used for legitimate things, but let's be honest

180
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:53,600
with ourselves, that was that was not even if they didn't have the intent for

181
00:12:51,839 --> 00:12:57,360
it to be used for piracy, the internet had the intent for it to be used with

182
00:12:55,120 --> 00:13:02,959
piracy immediately. So, the idea was that it was kind of like a Netflix for

183
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:04,800
pirates and it was going to allow the

184
00:13:02,959 --> 00:13:11,519
Bit Torrent protocol. So, that's peer-to-peer sharing to let people

185
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:13,279
stream movies and TV shows and videos.

186
00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:17,839
So, it had you can see what the interface was because it already doesn't

187
00:13:15,839 --> 00:13:22,560
exist anymore, but you can see what the interface was. You could browse by

188
00:13:20,079 --> 00:13:27,519
category with thumbnails. And the idea was that unlike traditional Bit Torrent

189
00:13:25,279 --> 00:13:31,120
clients, which allowed the user Oh, yeah. This article was submitted by Top

190
00:13:28,959 --> 00:13:35,200
War Gamer on the forum. Thank you. Um, the idea was that unlike traditional Bit

191
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:41,040
Torrent clients where you can specify a seed ratio or a maximum seeding speed,

192
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:44,639
the way that this worked was that once you committed you were going to watch

193
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:49,519
that movie, it would store it on your computer and you would automatically

194
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:54,399
seed it until you actually rebooted at which time all the associated files

195
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:57,920
would be wiped from your computer. So, as long as something was reasonably

196
00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:02,000
popular and up to-date and people were watching it, it would be available on

197
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:08,639
the service and it would be streamed quickly and reliably. And actually

198
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:10,959
because it wouldn't rely on Netflix's

199
00:14:08,639 --> 00:14:17,720
constant struggle with the internet service providers to allow their service

200
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:19,519
to be closer to their users because it's

201
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:22,000
peer-to-peer. You could actually be streaming it from your next door

202
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:27,120
neighbor if they happen to be watching that movie. Someone down the street. They don't even have to be watching.

203
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:30,240
They have to have watched and not have restarted their computer yet. That's

204
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:33,519
right. Which would be quite common. But the idea is that you could be very close

205
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:40,199
to where the content is being streamed from as a content delivery platform.

206
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,199
It's absolutely brilliant.

207
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:48,800
But if you go over to uh getpopcorn

208
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:54,959
tai.me. So we're going to go ahead and have a look at that website. This was

209
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:56,399
never meant to be. Um it says goodbye.

210
00:14:54,959 --> 00:15:00,880
You know, we started this to challenge ourselves. They thank the community for

211
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:05,760
translating it into 32 languages, some of which they had never even heard of. I

212
00:15:03,839 --> 00:15:09,839
just realized that Oh, no, never mind. That's uh that's up. I thought maybe it

213
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:13,920
wasn't. Um so they they thanked the community for helping them translate it.

214
00:15:11,839 --> 00:15:19,120
They they basically said, "Look, we checked like four times that what we're

215
00:15:16,639 --> 00:15:23,839
doing is legal in much the same way that the Bit Torrent platform and Bit Torrent

216
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:26,800
clients are legal because they're not specifically hosting any pirated

217
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:32,839
content. Um but they basically went look um

218
00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:38,800
there's an industry here that is established and they don't like what

219
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:41,120
we're coming in and doing and whether

220
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:44,639
what we're doing is legal or not. We are going to have to defend ourselves and

221
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:49,519
we're going to be bearing a burden that no one should have to bear um

222
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:55,680
monetarily. And so I mean even even the stress I mean people have ended up in

223
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:57,839
jail over u you know rulings that come

224
00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:02,240
from judges that don't necessarily even understand the issues involved and and

225
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:06,560
that's a big problem. Do you want to be that guy or do you get your cease and

226
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:11,480
desists from absolutely everybody? I mean these guys were getting covered by

227
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:16,079
everyone. It was a huge Techrunch, Time magazine, RS Technica, Washington Post,

228
00:16:13,839 --> 00:16:20,800
Huffington Post, Yahoo Finance, Gizmodo, everyone was covering these guys. Us, we

229
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,360
were covering these guys. I mean, as soon as this popped up on the form, I

230
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:31,279
was like, "Wow, that's amazing. We have to talk about it." And I meant to try it, but it's gone now.

231
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:34,000
Um, but they basically went, "Look, we

232
00:16:31,279 --> 00:16:39,199
created this not because we were trying to do something illegal or pirate

233
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:44,639
content, but because we really feel like the distribution platform for content is

234
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:48,800
fundamentally broken." And one of the most interesting things in their letter,

235
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:55,360
I'm going to try and find it right now, was uh here, right here, where they say,

236
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:58,639
"You know what is the best thing about popcorn time?" I'm going to blow this up

237
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:04,240
so you guys can read along with us if you want. And that tons of people agreed

238
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:08,640
that the movie industry has way too many ridiculous restrictions on way too many

239
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:13,199
markets. And this is word for word. Take Argentina for example, and this blew me

240
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:18,959
away. streaming providers seem to believe that there's something about

241
00:17:15,039 --> 00:17:21,520
Mary is a recent movie. That movie would

242
00:17:18,959 --> 00:17:26,959
be old enough to vote there. And I like that's awesome. The bulk of their users

243
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:32,799
were not in the US. It's everywhere else. Popcorn Time got installed in

244
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:34,720
every single country on Earth, including

245
00:17:32,799 --> 00:17:40,880
two that don't have any official internet access.

246
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:42,720
That blows me away because what they

247
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:48,400
were doing, even if it did enable piracy, which come on guys, we can't

248
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:53,679
have this stupid argument anymore. It's wrong to steal things. And you can argue

249
00:17:51,039 --> 00:17:58,240
the semantics of the word steal all day, but it is wrong to not pay people for

250
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:01,600
their work that they did. And you can argue about whether the publisher

251
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:06,720
deserved the money or the actor deserved the money or whoever deserved the money.

252
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:11,200
Somebody got to get paid for the work that they do. You don't work for free,

253
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:15,200
neither should they have to. And if you do work for free, then you're doing it

254
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:19,120
by choice. And if someone else didn't choose to work for free, you have to

255
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:22,960
respect that. That's their right. I tried to buy the Arctic Monkeys album.

256
00:18:21,039 --> 00:18:27,200
I'm still going to have to try to figure out how to buy the Arctic Monkeys album

257
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:30,240
without paying the ex without paying more than the cost of the album in

258
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:33,200
shipping. Sorry, that's a that's an option I found. Oh, and guys, Twitter

259
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:39,039
Blitz time. I'd love for you guys to just kind of weigh in with your thoughts on this, but but anyway, so even if they

260
00:18:37,039 --> 00:18:43,360
weren't setting out to create a piracy platform, what they were doing was

261
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:47,760
amazing because it was going to level the field. That's the point of the

262
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:53,120
internet is that we should all have access to this stuff. And you know what?

263
00:18:49,919 --> 00:18:57,520
Screw geographical restrictions. Aside

264
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:59,840
from a PAL or NTSC format, why are we

265
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:05,200
country locked? Why can we only use this phone in that country or play this game

266
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:09,760
in that country? It's absurd. And the fact that we have the technology now to

267
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:15,559
enable us to not deal with that crap anymore

268
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:17,160
is frustrating.

269
00:19:15,559 --> 00:19:21,919
Any kind though. We had a debate before the

270
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:25,600
show that which you did not carry a which you did not carry into the show.

271
00:19:23,919 --> 00:19:31,520
Oh, what was our debate again? You were saying that they were obviously creating

272
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,960
a pirating platform. They were, but they

273
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:37,280
did it with all good intentions. During my thing, I said, "Even if they

274
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:41,840
weren't." I mean, do you have any idea how many millions of dollars a site like

275
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:47,840
Pirate Babing brings in a year? You monetize a piracy platform and manage to

276
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:52,160
keep it up. There's a reason that the I don't remember how much it was, but the

277
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:55,760
ISO hunt guy. Um ISO hunt. Especially when you go the direction that Pirate

278
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:59,440
Bay has gone with their ads, which they're just like, "Yeah, we're not

279
00:19:57,120 --> 00:20:04,160
going to filter any of it." Yeah. Just put whatever you It's like here's like

280
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:09,280
boobies on our site or something like that. Um it's like I feel real awkward

281
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:12,320
ever going there to be like, "Yeah, this is what the pirate bay is and like blah

282
00:20:10,799 --> 00:20:15,600
blah blah blah blah blah." than showing anyone and explaining the whole system

283
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:19,440
to anyone because I'm like, "Yeah, there's tits all over the place." Yeah,

284
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:25,840
this is weird. This is sort of the underbelly. Here's another reason why you shouldn't use it, Mom. Um I think

285
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:28,240
the iso hunt guy paid 110 million or

286
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:35,440
something like that. Yeah, 110 million. So, okay, think about this. They had to

287
00:20:31,919 --> 00:20:38,880
think that he had 110 million. Like the

288
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:41,280
am I hunt I think was number four. Not

289
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:45,440
even not even one of the top guns. Like Pirate Bay is bringing in some serious

290
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:50,400
money. So if it wasn't in the back of their minds somewhere that they wanted

291
00:20:47,919 --> 00:20:55,200
to drive massive adoption and we've had this conversation, piracy drives a

292
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:58,799
platform. I personally believe that piracy is a big part of the reason that

293
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:03,919
Android is so strong. I was going to say Windows and Windows for that matter as

294
00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:05,760
well. Piracy drives platform adoption.

295
00:21:03,919 --> 00:21:09,039
And so if they didn't if it didn't occur to them that someone was going to pirate

296
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,679
content. That's true. But you can tell that they didn't even though it occurred

297
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:17,840
to them that it might have driven piracy, you can tell that they didn't expect it to at least get as big as it

298
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:21,280
did because they shut down so fast. There's no way they couldn't have pushed

299
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:24,640
off lawyers for a little while, but we don't know what's going on behind the

300
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:28,640
scenes over there. That's true. For all I know, they could be selling the tech

301
00:21:26,159 --> 00:21:34,480
to the pirate bay. The Wow. So that would be so smart

302
00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:40,480
because then they could back off and not have to touch lawyers and just sell it for so much money or the Pirate Bay

303
00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:44,480
being who they are could just build it themselves or whatever just be like like

304
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:48,640
and that could have even been the point. It could have been a group that was like we're going to make this just to prove

305
00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:52,000
that it can be done and then we're just going to like do it and deal with it and

306
00:21:50,559 --> 00:21:56,960
then we're just going to like dump the source code on some like back door of

307
00:21:54,960 --> 00:22:04,919
the internet somewhere. stage two when we see like Forbes and Yahoo Finance

308
00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:08,320
source code for Popcorn Time leaked.

309
00:22:04,919 --> 00:22:11,600
So, there's a lot of places this can go,

310
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:14,159
but um Popcorn Time obviously doesn't

311
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:18,000
intend to to keep I mean, if that's a legitimate video platform, I would have

312
00:22:16,559 --> 00:22:23,440
loved to see something like this. I mean, I love YouTube and I love Twitch,

313
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:25,760
but they will always have the cost and

314
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:28,720
logistical difficulties associated with centralized hosting. Well, people have

315
00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:34,240
been talking about the torrent version of Twitch for a little while now. Oh, of

316
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:37,440
like torrent streaming. Torrent streaming in general. Uh, it's not a

317
00:22:36,159 --> 00:22:42,320
thing yet, but people have been talking for quite a while about how that would be a lot easier because then you

318
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:47,520
wouldn't necessarily even need certain backbones in place. Tell me this though,

319
00:22:45,039 --> 00:22:51,919
what would you rather do? Would you rather pay a monthly subscription for

320
00:22:49,679 --> 00:22:54,880
the privilege of using twitch.tv, which I'm not saying they're doing. I'm just

321
00:22:53,200 --> 00:23:00,400
saying which would you rather do? Or would you rather use a service like

322
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:02,720
Popcorn Time that mandates that you have

323
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:06,720
to use your uplink to upload videos? Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. That

324
00:23:04,559 --> 00:23:09,760
mandates that you have to utilize your bandwidth to support the rest of the

325
00:23:08,159 --> 00:23:14,960
platform and potentially puts you in a position where you're just paying for a more expensive monthly internet

326
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:18,640
connection anyway. Uh, I don't know. Maybe Twitch, I'm not sure. But the

327
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:23,919
reason why the torrenting streaming thing actually came out was the Venezuel

328
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:27,120
Venezuela riots. Remember, I actually did talk about this very shortly on the

329
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:32,320
show because people are talking if you could get one slow pipe out, right? And

330
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:35,200
just stream it to one person and just barely stream it and then that person

331
00:23:33,679 --> 00:23:38,480
can share it to two or three and then it can escalate, right? That's how you can

332
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:42,000
stream information like that out. So maybe it's not as widely used, right, as

333
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:47,520
something like Twitch where they control the whole platform and they monetize it like crazy and all this kind of stuff

334
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:50,799
goes on. Um, but having it available would be really cool as well. And

335
00:23:49,039 --> 00:23:56,480
another thing that ties into your your increased bandwidth side of that two

336
00:23:53,600 --> 00:24:00,799
option thing is the Time Warner bandwidth thing that's coming out. Yes,

337
00:23:58,799 --> 00:24:04,240
that was interesting. So, okay, you know what? Let's do remember that we're doing

338
00:24:02,559 --> 00:24:07,600
that topic next because I think that's uh that that ties in really well. But

339
00:24:06,159 --> 00:24:12,000
let's uh let's take let's go to the Twitter boards here. Hear what you guys

340
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:15,930
have to say. What's up? What's up? What's up? What? Oh, the source code is

341
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,679
already

342
00:24:18,679 --> 00:24:24,640
available. Uploaded four hours

343
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:29,360
ago, which is right when they closed, isn't it? Oh, man. That's classic. They

344
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:35,039
closed a couple hours ago. That's interesting. It's like close leak. Bye.

345
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:40,880
All right. So, let's go. Let's go to Twitter. Acid Alamo. You know what, man?

346
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:46,320
You can't be more wrong. I think piracy helps artists get their music heard.

347
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:49,440
It's not all bad. If the artist believed

348
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:52,640
in free music and you look and some of

349
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:55,360
them do. Weird Al Yanovic very famously

350
00:24:52,640 --> 00:25:00,880
released for free on a dedicated website for it a song called Don't Download This

351
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:04,159
Song that basically just makes fun of

352
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:07,360
the MPAA and the RAIAA. It's just like

353
00:25:04,159 --> 00:25:10,000
and makes fun and like just parodies the

354
00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:15,760
idea that grandmothers are getting are getting sued for pirating music and some

355
00:25:13,279 --> 00:25:20,640
artists believe in that but the issue is that you don't get to make that call and

356
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:23,760
people like Logan can do it in a even from tech syndicate can do it in even a

357
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:30,880
different way he doesn't have them available for free but publicly says buy

358
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:34,080
it give it to everybody yeah and that's

359
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:36,080
fine too but that's his Right. If you

360
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:39,360
create the content, it is your right to decide how people will use it. And you

361
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:42,960
can think people are stupid for doing whatever they are doing as much as you

362
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:48,400
want, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you're right. What's the point of the O-rings in the G710 Plus? Good

363
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:51,360
question. It softens the uh the presses when you bottom out the keys in theory

364
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,799
and makes it a little bit quieter in theory. Um, as for the ISO hunt guy,

365
00:25:53,279 --> 00:25:58,559
yeah, he was from Vancouver, my hometown. It's not stealing if you don't

366
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:01,760
get caught. Stealing. It's still stealing. You're not a You can argue

367
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:05,760
semantics all day. I'm not going to do that on this show cuz it's stupid. Uh,

368
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:09,559
best example is Game of Thrones, the most pirated series there is no legit

369
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:14,960
way to watch in Europe. And that is a fantastic example of a completely missed

370
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:19,039
opportunity because the content providers, the local governments,

371
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:24,320
whoever it is, can't figure out how to just freaking work together and cash in

372
00:26:22,159 --> 00:26:27,679
all that money because people are willing to pay. I could be totally

373
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:33,919
wrong, but don't they film part of it in Europe? I think so. And it's not

374
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:36,640
available in Europe. Are they high?

375
00:26:33,919 --> 00:26:40,640
Well, it's kind of like um I'm not I'm not sure if I I forget what it is. I I

376
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:43,520
It's not oranges, but there's some fruit that's grown in California

377
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:48,880
predominantly, but it's actually more expensive there than it is here.

378
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:52,080
It's not oranges. You said it's not oranges. I don't think it saddens me to

379
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:55,600
see stuff like this get shut down because what they're doing is wrong, but

380
00:26:54,080 --> 00:27:00,799
because not because what they're doing is wrong, but because they got too big doing it. And but that's a lot of the

381
00:26:58,799 --> 00:27:04,880
time what happens, you know, when you're when what you're doing is with the best

382
00:27:02,679 --> 00:27:09,440
intentions. Like I mean, you know what, a great example is when we do worldwide

383
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:15,679
giveaways. You know what? The way we do it isn't really legitimate. And if we

384
00:27:11,679 --> 00:27:17,120
turn into, you know, um NBC, Linus Media

385
00:27:15,679 --> 00:27:21,440
Group turns into the next like multinational media conglomerate, we

386
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:27,120
won't be able to do worldwide giveaways anymore because you're under more scrutiny. I was I was going to say you

387
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:33,600
might want to explain how it's not like it's it's it's not um you can't there

388
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:37,200
there's local law laws and giveaway laws in many different places which really

389
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:41,360
screw with giveaways. We're able to fly under the radar because we're not big

390
00:27:38,799 --> 00:27:44,960
enough but we're not we're not what we're screwing with is a lot of places

391
00:27:43,279 --> 00:27:49,600
you're not allowed gifting people things. Yeah. or you have to pay 100% of

392
00:27:47,679 --> 00:27:54,080
the cost of the item on top of the actual item, on top of import fees, on

393
00:27:51,919 --> 00:27:57,360
top of taxes to be able to give someone something. We might as well just send

394
00:27:55,279 --> 00:28:00,480
you the cash. Like it would be Yeah. At that point in time, it would be

395
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:06,480
literally half the cost to just send you money. Yeah. So, yeah, there's lots of

396
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:08,320
problems. Georestrictions money. No,

397
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:13,120
sometimes georestrictions just result in no money for anyone. That's the problem.

398
00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:17,600
Um, that page is awesome. You were right, Linus. They have to change region

399
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:21,120
locks. Yeah, my first time. I love it. I have no idea what you're talking about,

400
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:25,520
Teddy. Feels like the first time. It's really

401
00:28:23,919 --> 00:28:31,200
hard to sing with your voice in your ear slightly delayed.

402
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:32,880
Uh, just embrace iTunes, man. No, I

403
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,840
don't want to. I might build like, you know, my like secondary computer that I

404
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:41,520
let people use when they come over to land. I might just like put iTunes on that.

405
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:45,919
Screw you guys. We are not doing the bronze gay Ben statue. I'm sure that

406
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:49,039
would creep him out way too much. If big movie companies don't want to be stolen

407
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:52,720
from, they can't charge what they charge and expect to be profitable. Yeah, but

408
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:57,279
this is another thing that isn't really the right of the consumer to decide. Um,

409
00:28:55,039 --> 00:29:00,960
you don't get to decide a car's I mean, and like I know this is the analogy they

410
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:05,919
use, but they're right. You don't get to decide that car is too expensive, I'll

411
00:29:03,279 --> 00:29:11,600
just steal one. If it's too expensive, and I've said this so many times, don't

412
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:15,279
buy it. But you also don't get to watch it or listen to

413
00:29:12,919 --> 00:29:20,960
it. That's just how it works. And if enough people don't buy it, they will

414
00:29:17,919 --> 00:29:23,600
lower prices. But people refuse to just

415
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:27,440
boycott things. You know what? You don't like as a whole, we just can't seem to

416
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:30,720
do that. No, we just can't do it. Like, we've tried so many times. People are

417
00:29:28,799 --> 00:29:34,320
just like, "Nah, because I won't make that big of a dent." But then hundreds

418
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:40,159
of thousands of people are like, "No, my dent's not that big." I feel like that's

419
00:29:36,399 --> 00:29:42,399
the same as ad block. If I don't like um

420
00:29:40,159 --> 00:29:46,559
you know, say for example, an artist, who's that one that was caught with the

421
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:51,120
child porn? I don't know. I can't I can't remember off the top of my head. I

422
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:54,399
thought it was the the guy making the

423
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:57,120
Oh, yeah. Uh oh. Apparently, he was

424
00:29:54,399 --> 00:30:00,480
acquitted. So, allegedly child porn, R. Kelly, whatever. He can be acquitted all

425
00:29:59,039 --> 00:30:07,360
he wants. I won't listen to any of his songs. Comes on the radio, won't listen to it. Pay or not pay, if you don't like

426
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:12,000
something, don't use it. And then it will go away, you know, if you if people

427
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:15,200
don't like that. Uh oh, who's that? It won't go away because no one else is

428
00:30:13,279 --> 00:30:20,080
gonna do what you do. Who's that other stupid guy?

429
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:23,200
Um the uh the South Park fish fish

430
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:24,799
stickicks one. Uh Kanye. Kanye. Yeah. If

431
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:27,279
you don't like Kanye selling a plain white t-shirt for however much he

432
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:31,919
charged for it, do you remember that thing? Wasn't it like $500 or something? I don't remember. I could be totally

433
00:30:30,559 --> 00:30:36,320
wrong. I don't remember. I remember it sucked. $120 plain white t-shirt that

434
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:40,559
had nothing special about it. If you don't like it, don't buy it and it'll go

435
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:45,320
away. But people cannot handle that. All right, so back to this. So $500 was a

436
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:50,000
lot higher than it actually was. Um, YouTubempp3.org. Okay, that's no idea

437
00:30:47,679 --> 00:30:54,000
what that is. Not allowed, I believe. Haven't actually used it. Um, about your

438
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:57,520
new segment, better than he who must not be named. Never show his face or I

439
00:30:55,600 --> 00:31:01,440
mention his name again. Did that end up in the news in our news this week in our

440
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:06,480
doc? I don't want to talk about that. It's awesome. But that is about him.

441
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:10,720
Well, it's Oh, come on. That's completely against the segment. Oh, no.

442
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:15,760
Not as the as the segment. Can we just talk about it very briefly? That's

443
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:18,000
completely against the whole ideal moral

444
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:22,720
of the show and the point of having that segment in the show. We can't talk about

445
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:27,279
news. It has to do with him on the show when we have a segment

446
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:30,399
that's about how much people have to do with him. But that's why everyone's

447
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:33,440
talking about him all the time. All right, fine. We need to stop. I'm from

448
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:38,000
the US, so every time I hear about content restrictions, my jaw drops. Yep.

449
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:42,159
Yeah. I mean, even here in Canada, we're relatively sheltered. Um, I refuse to

450
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:47,760
use iTunes and Google Music isn't available in the UK, but then you just

451
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:52,279
Well, you you can't just refuse to use gas stations and then expect to still be

452
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:55,600
able to drive. Like, if

453
00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:03,440
the h maybe I don't even want to hear from you people about this.

454
00:32:01,679 --> 00:32:08,159
Let's go ahead and move on to our next topic. What was it again? Uh there's the

455
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:12,159
the Time Warner bandwidth cap voluntary thing that no one did because it's dumb.

456
00:32:10,159 --> 00:32:17,600
Yeah, that was ridiculous. So, we were talking about uh would you rather pay

457
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:21,440
for higher bandwidth caps or would you

458
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:23,200
rather pay for um where is it? Like to

459
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:26,640
use services because someone has to pay at some point for something. So, you're

460
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,919
either going to be contributing to a peer-to-peer network or you're going to

461
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:35,120
say, "Okay, no centralized servers are better for me, but I have to pay for this somehow." Whether it's through

462
00:32:32,159 --> 00:32:38,640
watching ads or whether it's through um whether it's through just paying for it

463
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:44,320
outright. So, here I'll let you cover this one. So, they decided that you can

464
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:47,880
save about $60 a year, which is like

465
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:51,840
really not that much. time winner. $5 a

466
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:55,279
month and have bandwidth caps of 30 GB

467
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:58,159
to which less than 1% in the thousands

468
00:32:55,279 --> 00:33:04,720
of their 11 million customers decided to actually opt in for because it's a very

469
00:33:01,039 --> 00:33:04,720
terrible thing and you're

470
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:12,960
dumb. I don't even like know what else to say. Um, he said practically the CEO

471
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:19,120
Rob Marcus said practically no subscribers took the ISP up on its offer

472
00:33:15,919 --> 00:33:21,679
for cheaper service. Cheaper service. $5

473
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:25,279
a month. Shut up. Give us a halfp price service with a very limited bandwidth.

474
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:30,880
Now maybe we're talking. Yeah, exactly. $5 a month. Like you're not winning

475
00:33:27,279 --> 00:33:33,519
battles there, man. Um, for service with

476
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:38,080
a data cap. A data cap. It's 30 gigs for a home internet

477
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:41,559
connection. What? Like I just downloaded Titanfall that would have crushed the

478
00:33:39,679 --> 00:33:45,600
whole cap. What the heck? I don't know. This

479
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:49,440
is This is something that I brought up before though actually when we were talking about Call of Duty Ghosts when

480
00:33:48,559 --> 00:33:55,200
people were talking about how it was like 50 gigs, right? Yeah. And I was saying physical media might come back

481
00:33:53,279 --> 00:33:58,399
for games specifically because if you're downloading these like 50 Gigabyte

482
00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:01,760
games, it took me all freaking night. I I started downloading Titanfall after

483
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:06,480
work. Couldn't play it that night. Had to play it the next day because still at

484
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:11,200
2 in the morning. It wasn't done right. and like I have a pretty good internet

485
00:34:08,879 --> 00:34:16,000
connection. It was not my side. It took way too long. If I just decided to go to

486
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:20,879
the store and drive back, I could have had the game in 15 minutes, 20 minutes.

487
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:28,560
So, I've got a straw pull for you guys. I'm going to go ahead and post that in the chat right now. Would you agree to a

488
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:31,200
30 gig per month cap for half of your

489
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:34,960
current rate that you're paying? And I think I already know the answer, but

490
00:34:32,639 --> 00:34:37,399
whatever. Wow.

491
00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:43,679
Thank you. I wouldn't

492
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:46,879
either. Two people. Two people. Yeah.

493
00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:48,800
You guys rock on. You rock on all two of

494
00:34:46,879 --> 00:34:55,200
you. All right. So, we'll go ahead and leave that for a little bit. But

495
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:59,359
crushed. So, you know what? This actually looks

496
00:34:57,359 --> 00:35:04,960
in line with the number of people who actually did it according to Time Warner

497
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:08,079
Cable. Couple percent. They said less than 1%. Did they say less than 1%?

498
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:11,359
Yeah, but people are probably trolling as well. So, yeah. Well, considering it

499
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:17,119
sat at two for a really long time and then we called it out and then everyone was like, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes."

500
00:35:13,839 --> 00:35:18,880
Yeah. So, it's one of those things where

501
00:35:17,119 --> 00:35:23,440
Yeah, I think we can just all agree on this one except you 16 people. And I'm

502
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:27,359
sorry, but you're but you're you're probably watching this show. Yeah, if

503
00:35:25,119 --> 00:35:33,760
you're watching this show, your like whole bandwidth is going to get taken up

504
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:36,560
from watching Wan's show for a month.

505
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:43,599
Maybe they are so hardcore that this is the only the only thing they do on the

506
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:46,960
internet is watch this show. They get to

507
00:35:43,599 --> 00:35:50,160
watch one twoour segment four times a

508
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:52,000
month of this show. That's it. And we

509
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:57,920
love you guys. You're awesome. Thank you. You like 20 people or whatever it

510
00:35:54,079 --> 00:36:00,240
is. That's great.

511
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:03,760
Oh man. The best part is it's still slow.

512
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:07,760
So you're you're paying half the price, but it's still a lot of money because

513
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:12,240
half the price is still not that cheap. It's still really slow

514
00:36:09,720 --> 00:36:18,720
internet and you have this crappy data cap. Or you can be San Antonio and

515
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:21,040
possibly be getting Google Fiber. Yeah.

516
00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:25,480
Okay. Okay. Let's move on to that. Like actually both of these topics the the

517
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:31,280
upcoming ones are about how infrastructure it just like needs to get

518
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:33,119
better and uh may may just be getting

519
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:38,079
better. Hold on. Where where is it? You can use the headers, but it's right there. I'll use your headers. All right.

520
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:44,880
So, let's go ahead and pop over to this. So, this is from my San

521
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:48,240
Antonio.com. San Antonio city council's

522
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:50,320
Google fiber contract. San Antonio, you

523
00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:54,880
guys are awesome. The people who live there are awesome and Google is awesome.

524
00:36:53,280 --> 00:37:00,000
My favorite thing about reading this article, everyone that's watching right now, I highly suggest checking out this

525
00:36:58,079 --> 00:37:03,520
article. Maybe I'll post it. Post. Okay. Um, read through it and read the quotes

526
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:07,359
from the guy that's on city council who's pushing for it mainly. He is the

527
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:13,160
biggest, and this is awesome. I'm not saying this in a negative way. Usually when I say this word, it's negative, but

528
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:15,359
he is the biggest fanboy ever. And it's

529
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:18,800
hilarious. The whole time he's just like, "Yes, he's saying like, "Win it

530
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:24,640
tier. Win it here. Win it here." And then he goes into like, "A big important part of my job is managing expectations.

531
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:30,720
We don't know when it's coming or if it's coming." Blah blah blah blah blah. All of his other quotes. When it's here,

532
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:32,560
when it's here. It's like, yes. And then

533
00:37:30,720 --> 00:37:36,160
right at the end, he says, "I don't actually see where it is right now. Uh,

534
00:37:34,079 --> 00:37:40,640
when when we get this, remember what I just said. When we get this, and I

535
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:44,920
believe we will. I would I would like to request a San Antonio themed Google

536
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:51,359
homepage. That would be really nice."

537
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:53,880
Awesome. Like that's so cool. Oh wow. I

538
00:37:51,359 --> 00:37:59,200
want this guy on my city council. Me too. Me too. That's fantastic. So good.

539
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:06,880
So what else is there about it? I mean there are some challenges. Um right now

540
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:12,720
the company or the cityowned CPS Energy

541
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:16,480
owns 86% of the telephone polls but AT&T

542
00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:19,119
owns the other 14%.

543
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:23,760
Oh no. Although I do bet you those are in fairly confined areas. And while 14%

544
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:27,200
is still very large when you're talking about this kind of stuff, it's probably

545
00:38:25,359 --> 00:38:29,760
able to be bypassed and probably won't be the biggest deal. It's still going to

546
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:34,400
be a hurdle that they're going to have to jump over. Yeah. What else? What else they got? Something interesting that I

547
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:39,680
noticed was that they haven't pinned down the locations yet, but they're planning to install them in libraries.

548
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:44,079
We haven't said what they are. Oh, for fiber huts. So, they're planning on

549
00:38:41,119 --> 00:38:48,960
installing 4B 40 fiber huts, which are 12 by 26 foot communication. I would

550
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:55,280
live in a fiber hut. Even if it was just a hut, I would just live there. Like 40

551
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:58,880
gigabit in up and down.

552
00:38:55,280 --> 00:39:01,680
You just want anything click. Yes. So

553
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:05,359
good. Sorry. Go ahead. Um, so yeah, 12 x 26 foot communications shelters, which

554
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:09,119
are just going to house all of the fiber communications infrastructure that they

555
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:12,240
need. They're going to install these in most likely, they don't have pinned

556
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:16,000
locations yet, but most likely libraries, fire and police stations and

557
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:20,960
other city properties across San Antonio, which I immediately thought

558
00:39:17,599 --> 00:39:23,040
about. This seems like the setup and

559
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:28,240
like windup part of the next Batman movie.

560
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:31,680
Google Google this big corporation

561
00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:34,320
installs these these fiber huts in big

562
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:38,960
city buildings and then they collect all the data because um have you read and

563
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:41,520
Eric Schmidt is the the Joker or something like that and then Batman has

564
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:45,280
to come in and like shut down all these individual huts that are protected by I

565
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:48,880
hope Warner Brothers is watching because they're stealing because they might

566
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:53,119
actually do this because they're stealing data from because like police

567
00:39:51,119 --> 00:39:55,920
fire libraries and other city properties. So if they install it at

568
00:39:54,240 --> 00:40:00,160
like city hall, all the police stations and all the fire stations, they could know all the foot traffic of all the

569
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:04,240
different things. Oh yeah, totally seems like next Batman movie.

570
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:08,079
Fantastic. This just immediately thought of that. And what made me mainly think

571
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:13,839
of that is if you've read the thing on John McCaffy, his recent thing about how

572
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:15,200
the he was spying on police in Bise or

573
00:40:13,839 --> 00:40:18,880
something like that. I was like because he donated computers. It's like this is

574
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:22,000
like Google Fiber except for instead of donating computers, they're just

575
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:26,480
installing little structures inside the instead of spying on police, they're

576
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:28,400
spying on everyone. Yes, but

577
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:32,240
specifically mainly government. This doesn't even necessarily have to be

578
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:36,160
Batman. This could be almost anything. This could be pretty much whatever.

579
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:39,680
Yeah, you could call the movie like The Biggest Brother, Die Hard. And it

580
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:44,400
wouldn't be about a large black man. It would be about your idea. I mean, it

581
00:40:41,839 --> 00:40:47,760
could be about both. the large black man is the one that

582
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:53,359
takes down all the Google. To be clear, I know some people don't like black or

583
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:56,480
white or whatever, but I'm just kind of going treat others as you want to be

584
00:40:54,800 --> 00:41:01,520
treated. I'm totally okay if people call me white. I know their skin's not black

585
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:04,960
and my skin isn't white, but it's very convenient. Um, that's all I have to say

586
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:11,280
about that. What was I going to say? And I apologize in advance to anyone that I may have offended cuz I probably did

587
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:15,359
offend someone. disclaimer. You know, I've I think the last like six WAN shows

588
00:41:13,599 --> 00:41:18,400
in a row, I've had someone message me after the show and tell me how upset

589
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:24,319
they are because of something I said. I'm sorry. It's a live show and sometimes I talk without thinking. Um

590
00:41:22,720 --> 00:41:29,680
anyway, was there anything else to say about this? There was, but I don't even

591
00:41:27,119 --> 00:41:33,680
remember. Um right, so despite the excitement of the city council member,

592
00:41:31,839 --> 00:41:36,880
which is fantastic. You have to read through the article. Um he said it's

593
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:43,440
still going to be a really long time coming. They still have legal loopholes to jump through like the AT&T owning a

594
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:44,880
whole bunch of the um polls thing and

595
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:48,160
other legal loopholes that they have to go through. It's been approved. They

596
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:52,400
still have to go through a huge process. They won't even be done doing Google's

597
00:41:50,079 --> 00:41:57,280
required paywork for at least two weeks and then they have to get through

598
00:41:54,119 --> 00:41:59,760
testing and figuring out where all these

599
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:02,319
fiber huts actually even should go. Then they have to build them all and then

600
00:42:01,119 --> 00:42:06,319
they have to run lines to everyone houses and like blah blah blah blah blah. going

601
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:12,880
to be a really long time, but it's going to be like full scale Google Fiber, not

602
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:15,520
in like the middle of nowhere. So freaking awesome. Well, I kind of want

603
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:19,599
it in the middle of nowhere. I want it here. Yeah, I want it here, too. Okay,

604
00:42:18,079 --> 00:42:25,839
so this article is from Business Insider. This is supposedly the

605
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:32,000
technology that is going to make your phone's internet a thousand times faster

606
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:34,400
than 4G. Now, to be clear, guys, a

607
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:40,400
thousand times faster than 4G is probably more like network capacity

608
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:45,200
because we're a long way away from flash chips that are capable of leveraging

609
00:42:43,119 --> 00:42:48,000
that kind of throughput. That's what I thought when I first read that. I was

610
00:42:46,319 --> 00:42:53,200
like, "Oh, this isn't real at all." This is kind of like when we talk about, you

611
00:42:49,599 --> 00:42:55,200
know, 100 gigabit, you know, internet

612
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:59,119
because we're so far away from that even mattering. Um, we're going to need like

613
00:42:57,119 --> 00:43:03,839
light based storage in our computers for that to even be a thing. But, um, okay.

614
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:08,640
So, what's it called? PEL. PEL. And the idea is getting away from giant, very

615
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:12,160
widespread out cell towers so that when you're kind of in between, you're

616
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:16,480
running at like a bar or no bars. And the idea is installing these fairly

617
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:20,560
small boxes kind of all over the place so that you constantly have really good

618
00:43:18,079 --> 00:43:24,240
signal. And then the individual boxes will be very powerful, just not as wide

619
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:27,520
range. So, you'll be able to get a lot faster speed while you're in range, then

620
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:31,680
they're all over the place. Um, which has its own complications because now

621
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:35,520
instead of having a tower that's kind of away from being in the middle of

622
00:43:33,839 --> 00:43:41,200
anything or on the top of things like on the top of buildings or something like that, you now have to have these boxes

623
00:43:39,119 --> 00:43:44,800
freaking everywhere. So, figuring out where they can put it, stuff like that

624
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:48,160
could be an issue. That is one of the biggest uh that is one of the biggest

625
00:43:46,720 --> 00:43:54,640
logistical challenges I see with something like this because at least thing about a cell tower is yes it's a

626
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:59,520
process to get the permits and get it get it built and buy the land and

627
00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:05,520
whatever else you have to do but it's one project whereas I mean if you've

628
00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:09,680
ever tried to do any kind of project management even something as simple as

629
00:44:07,359 --> 00:44:14,000
planning a kid's birthday party if all you had to do was invite like one kid

630
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:16,880
but like it's complicated and you have to like go to their parents house and

631
00:44:15,599 --> 00:44:20,560
you know prove that you're going to be feeding them you know a vegan diet and

632
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:25,960
they're going to have a nap at 3:30 and whatever else you're doing one thing

633
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:31,000
whereas if you have to invite a hundred kids even if it's as simple as emailing

634
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:36,079
them all and then managing the email responses it's still a ton of work so um

635
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:43,119
we have the results for our straw poll by the way there you go 5% said yes so a

636
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:46,000
lot than the not necessarily fairly

637
00:44:43,119 --> 00:44:49,040
hardcores on Time Warner service. So I I don't think our poll is accurate. Yeah,

638
00:44:47,599 --> 00:44:52,400
I don't think so. I wasn't really expecting it to. Um I mean there's a lot

639
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:57,200
of uncertainties with the new technology. Um the idea is you could

640
00:44:55,200 --> 00:45:02,480
combine the signal for many Pwaves to get a full signal at all time. They cost

641
00:44:59,599 --> 00:45:06,440
less. They're smaller. Um of course they're going to cost less. There will

642
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:11,119
be an initial roll out in Q4 2014 in San Francisco. So I guess it just kind of

643
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:15,599
remains to be seen. It it theoretically will use less power. Although if you're

644
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:20,480
running a phone that is natively LTE, you won't see any of the power savings.

645
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:23,119
You need a native PEL phone to see the

646
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:26,720
power. But LTE phones will work on PEL networks in theory, which is actually

647
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:31,680
really cool. So you could take advantage of this. Now, the speed though, not

648
00:45:29,839 --> 00:45:34,880
necessarily the and the coverage. And the coverage, I mean, especially

649
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:39,760
coverage in places where they just can't justify a massive tower project. Yeah.

650
00:45:37,839 --> 00:45:44,240
Makes a ton of sense. Um actually we have one more infrastructure improvement

651
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:52,640
thing here. This is a collaboration between Brazil and the EU that is um

652
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:55,319
basically just a direct response to

653
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:59,520
spying by the NSA on foreign dignitaries. And this is like spying on

654
00:45:57,599 --> 00:46:04,480
their allies. And one of the comments in the article, which I just found

655
00:46:01,119 --> 00:46:08,560
laughable, is that President Obama has

656
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:10,280
since banned spying on the, you know,

657
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:18,400
uh, spying on close allies. I'm just like, or you could

658
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:23,119
like there are so many. One, there's no way that's actually true. He's probably

659
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:28,480
publicly banned it and it's still totally happening.

660
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:31,119
Um, two, I I don't know. That's that's all I really have to say about that. One

661
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:35,960
thing that I noticed with this article is, hasn't Brazil been flamed recently

662
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:41,920
for spying on their residents? Anyways, so this is like, hooray.

663
00:46:40,319 --> 00:46:47,680
We don't want other people spying on you. Only we get to spy on you,

664
00:46:44,240 --> 00:46:49,920
citizens. So, it's $185 million project.

665
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:55,760
Um it's going to be a joint project between some of various ISPs and uh it's

666
00:46:53,839 --> 00:46:59,400
going to basically the only existing line right now. So it'll run from hold

667
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:04,319
on a second I forget whoever whoever wrote

668
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:09,359
this down forgot to say where it actually runs from. Ah there we go.

669
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:11,440
Lisbon to forella. And uh the only

670
00:47:09,359 --> 00:47:16,000
existing line between Brazil and the EU is so slow that it's only used for voice

671
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:21,280
communication. So, you know what I mean? Infrastructure upgrades in general, you

672
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:27,280
know, is never a bad thing. And it's really interesting to see how quickly

673
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:30,400
the US is losing its very tight grip

674
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:33,040
over its position as the hub of the

675
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:38,160
entire internet. Interesting. Um, what is it? Ukraine is dealing with Russia

676
00:47:34,720 --> 00:47:40,000
right now. Um, server hosting has been

677
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:42,640
hopping out really quickly, right? Okay, so like server hosting for different

678
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:47,480
games and stuff has been hopping out and you would expect oh they might go to the

679
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:53,280
states or somewhere like that. None. We've even seen some of them hop

680
00:47:50,079 --> 00:47:57,040
to Canada. Who hops their server hosting

681
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:59,359
to Canada? Yeah, no one. Those people

682
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:03,520
apparently not to the states though. Like

683
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:06,960
I mean it goes to show you, you know, power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts

684
00:48:05,359 --> 00:48:10,560
absolutely. Yeah, I know it's been said over and over and over again, but that

685
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:16,560
doesn't make it any less true. As soon as someone is in a position where they

686
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:19,760
can control something, they'll abuse it

687
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:22,559
every time. Not necessarily every time.

688
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:28,599
At some point, someone will abuse it. It's a high possibility. I'd say I don't

689
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:33,359
think everyone is inherently bad except for Lionus. I'm not

690
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:37,559
inherently bad. See, there you go. We agreed. Now you're agreeing with me. We

691
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:41,280
agreed I was chaotic neutral. Or was I lawful neutral? I

692
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:44,960
don't remember. You were chaotic neutral. I was chaotic neutral. Edel

693
00:48:43,839 --> 00:48:51,599
thought you were lawful neutral. Yeah, Edel figured that I was um Oh, no. I

694
00:48:48,559 --> 00:48:53,760
think you said I was lawful evil and

695
00:48:51,599 --> 00:48:58,800
then we agreed I was No, I said lawful evil and then we agreed I was chaotic.

696
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:04,400
But then I think Edzel figured I was lawful because I operate based on a set

697
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:09,920
of rules even if it's not necessarily everyone else's rules. I'm like uh I'm

698
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:13,760
like that uh the the kid and family guy. I don't play by anyone's rules except my

699
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:18,000
your whole piracy stance is a little weird now. My piracy stance is weird.

700
00:49:15,839 --> 00:49:23,400
Yeah. Yeah. It's probably weird. All right. So Tesla, I still think you're

701
00:49:19,599 --> 00:49:27,520
lawful evil, was banned in New

702
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:29,920
Jersey, not from selling cars, but from

703
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:33,760
selling them directly to customers, which is how they sell cars, which is

704
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:38,319
how they sell cars. So they've been kind of banned from selling cars. Now, you

705
00:49:36,079 --> 00:49:40,800
could you could take either stance on this. Okay. Why don't you give the

706
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:45,599
overview and then I'm going to kind of jump in and make everyone mad.

707
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:50,720
Oh, really? Yeah, I'm going to do that. just just h I don't even have the topic

708
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:53,599
up, but essenti Oh, there it is. Um, essentially cars can be sold by

709
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:57,599
dealerships. So, there has to be a middleman. Uh, you know how dealerships

710
00:49:55,680 --> 00:50:03,359
work. It's usually like the guy's name who opened the dealership and then like

711
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:04,559
Chrysler or Oh, Shay Chevrolet or big

712
00:50:03,359 --> 00:50:08,720
thumbs up to anyone who gets that reference. Go ahead.

713
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:12,160
Or or or whatever else, right? Like that's often how guard car dealerships

714
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:18,160
are done or other ways or whatever, but there's always a car dealership. You don't usually order like mail order a

715
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:22,720
car or order it online, but that's how Tesla does it. And they've banned that

716
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:27,760
in New Jersey. You have to have a dealership, which isn't yours as far as

717
00:50:25,359 --> 00:50:31,680
I know. Yeah. Like someone else has to open a dealership for your cars and then

718
00:50:29,599 --> 00:50:36,559
buy them from you essentially. Yeah. Um, so Texas and Arizona have the same law.

719
00:50:34,079 --> 00:50:40,400
However, New Jersey is been becoming a big hub for luxury cars and Tesla is

720
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:46,480
luxury cars. So Tesla wants to be there because they want to be able to sell their cars, which makes tons of sense.

721
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:49,200
Um Tesla is claiming it's claiming I can

722
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:54,559
talk that it is an affront to the very concept of a free market and I

723
00:50:51,559 --> 00:50:56,960
agree. They also say it isn't just about

724
00:50:54,559 --> 00:51:03,200
cutting out the middleman. It also wants to give buyers an experience to which I

725
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:07,839
would say BS. It is about cutting out the middleman whe like okay well if you

726
00:51:06,559 --> 00:51:15,119
agree with that then we have nothing to argue about because Tesla's concern here

727
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:17,760
is strictly self-interest it has nothing

728
00:51:15,119 --> 00:51:21,520
to do with a better experience for the customer necessarily I'm sure I'm sure

729
00:51:19,599 --> 00:51:24,559
there's some of that because if they can give a better experience and it's more

730
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:30,640
premier and they can control the whole thing they can charge more well there's

731
00:51:28,240 --> 00:51:33,440
there's always profit behind the idea but creating a better experience

732
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:37,119
experience for your customer creates a premier shopping experience which is

733
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:44,040
literally some of the target audience for I mean they have the option okay I

734
00:51:41,359 --> 00:51:50,720
agree with Tesla that they shouldn't be banned but I think a middle ground might

735
00:51:47,599 --> 00:51:52,800
have been that New Jersey could say okay

736
00:51:50,720 --> 00:51:59,520
well then you're going to have to open up um negotiations with x number of

737
00:51:56,160 --> 00:52:02,240
dealerships per square whatever mileage

738
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:05,200
to have the option to sell your cars and you're going to have to offer them a

739
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:10,559
reasonable margin structure and all that stuff. And if you can provide a better

740
00:52:08,559 --> 00:52:14,720
shopping experience your way, then customers will have a free market right

741
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:18,079
to choose. I still don't understand why they're banning that though. That still

742
00:52:16,559 --> 00:52:22,640
doesn't make any sense. That's stupid. Banning makes no sense. Yeah, that's

743
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:26,960
But for them to for to but to protect an industry that is very very

744
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:31,680
important to the local economy. I understand even if I don't necessarily

745
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:35,440
agree with I do understand it and I think he's totally right. It's yeah it's

746
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:38,960
an affront to the concept of a free market. Totally agree. The part that I

747
00:52:37,359 --> 00:52:43,920
was upset about was that Tesla was saying that it wasn't about cutting out the middleman which it absolutely is.

748
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:49,119
Yeah. I mean it's all about cutting out the middleman. Look at he says it's not

749
00:52:45,599 --> 00:52:51,599
it isn't just about

750
00:52:49,119 --> 00:52:55,920
it's very carefully worded. Yes, it is. And yes, it is just about cutting out

751
00:52:53,280 --> 00:53:01,480
the middleman. I mean, look at I like Okay, I'm going to It's not just It's

752
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:01,480
just mostly

753
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:08,319
I'll pull up Apple as an example here. Apple stores deliver a better experience

754
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:12,480
than Best Buy. Have you ever shopped at an Apple store? Uh, I haven't shopped

755
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:16,640
there. I've been inside an Apple store though with someone who was shopping.

756
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:19,200
I've I've bought stuff there. I have gone through service there. I've gone

757
00:53:18,079 --> 00:53:25,920
through their service because my girlfriend at the time had to repair iPhone. Okay. Outstanding experience.

758
00:53:23,359 --> 00:53:30,160
You feel like you're in like this, you know, zone where you're going to be

759
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:34,400
helped and it's like very futuristic. The one thing that I did really like is

760
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:37,839
that we never got approached by someone in the way that you get approached going

761
00:53:35,839 --> 00:53:40,319
to Future Shop or for people not in Canada, Best Buy or something like that

762
00:53:39,359 --> 00:53:46,079
because I didn't feel like I was beingounded. More than once I had someone come up and ask me how my day

763
00:53:44,319 --> 00:53:49,839
was and I was like, "That's an interesting intro. I've worked in retail

764
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:54,240
before. No one has ever told me to start with that." Um, so I talked to him for a

765
00:53:52,720 --> 00:53:58,400
little bit about like random stuff. Then he's like, "Is there anything I can help

766
00:53:55,920 --> 00:54:01,440
you guys with?" like and she saw that he saw that she was holding her phone. He's

767
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:05,040
like, "Is it broken?" And I was like, "Yeah, we're having problems with it." So he's like, "All right, I'll be back

768
00:54:03,359 --> 00:54:08,640
in a sec." Go grab goes and grabs the tech and has the same intro. They have a

769
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:14,240
service first approach, which I thought was cool. And so if

770
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:17,520
Tesla with a service first approach can

771
00:54:14,240 --> 00:54:19,280
effectively out compete car dealerships,

772
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:24,240
then great. But I don't think they should be forced to allow to sell their

773
00:54:22,079 --> 00:54:27,839
cars through other dealerships. That doesn't that's against the free market

774
00:54:25,839 --> 00:54:31,040
thing. That is when I said I was being very literal. That's very

775
00:54:29,359 --> 00:54:34,240
backwards. That is pulling back. That is I didn't

776
00:54:32,559 --> 00:54:38,400
say that was the right solution though. I said it would be a middle ground. But

777
00:54:36,319 --> 00:54:41,520
it's a bad that's that's a middle ground where there should not be a middle

778
00:54:39,839 --> 00:54:46,640
ground. There should only be the one side. Sometimes the world is about baby

779
00:54:43,599 --> 00:54:48,319
steps. And this is baby steps in the

780
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:55,200
wrong direction. No, no, no. Okay, hold on. Hold on. Okay. Well, let Okay. So

781
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:57,440
right now what exists is a law that you

782
00:54:55,200 --> 00:55:01,680
may not run your own dealership. Yes. Okay. So you're saying okay. I'm saying

783
00:54:59,119 --> 00:55:06,079
it's a baby step. I see towards the right direction. And it's better than

784
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:09,839
just saying no. Yeah. Yeah. Because I'm I'm applying my when I was saying it's

785
00:55:08,079 --> 00:55:13,599
backwards. I was applying my logic to before this law existed. You're talking

786
00:55:12,079 --> 00:55:21,920
about what we have to do now that it's already here. So I Yeah, that makes more

787
00:55:16,359 --> 00:55:25,760
sense. Uh, it's just like why stop them?

788
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:27,680
Because it's it's it's an established

789
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:32,480
it's an established part of the local economy and you can talk about how

790
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:37,400
that's part of the economy and what kinds of kickbacks exist where and what

791
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:41,599
going on, but it's established and it takes baby steps to

792
00:55:40,319 --> 00:55:49,440
change something. You're not going to be able to walk in and replace VHS with

793
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:51,640
digital downloads overnight. It took us

794
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:56,480
what, 15 years? That's laws in place stopping for people

795
00:55:54,319 --> 00:56:01,440
from selling DVDs. No, but there's all kinds of legislative issues associated

796
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:05,200
with streaming videos online. And we're still working our way through that. It

797
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:09,200
we go through this every time there's a shift in technology that means that

798
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:14,079
someone is not making the money that they're used to making. and really like

799
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:18,319
making. That's all. But I also wonder if it's not even just the dealerships

800
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:22,559
though. Like is this another step from big oil to try and stop electrical cars

801
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:26,640
from being sold? I don't know. I mean, everything in the States somehow comes

802
00:56:24,079 --> 00:56:31,599
back to big oil. Ever since the NSA thing broke, I have not been able to

803
00:56:29,839 --> 00:56:38,119
just say, "Ah, that's just a conspiracy theory anymore." Yeah, I

804
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:42,799
know. It's horrible. Everything sucks.

805
00:56:38,119 --> 00:56:44,880
Anyways, yeah. On that note, um Verizon

806
00:56:42,799 --> 00:56:48,240
wants to charge. This was a topic we talked about last week. You know what?

807
00:56:46,319 --> 00:56:51,839
We talked about it briefly. Okay. Yeah. I don't want to uh I don't want to jump

808
00:56:49,599 --> 00:56:57,920
into that. Okay. Let's talk good news. Haswell E and X99 look like the schedule

809
00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:04,319
has been stepped up. This was posted by Milner Fred and the original article is

810
00:57:00,799 --> 00:57:08,000
from Kit Guru. And so we're looking at

811
00:57:04,319 --> 00:57:12,119
potentially a Q2 launch. What's up? Oh

812
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:15,760
yeah, a Q2 launch on the LGA

813
00:57:12,119 --> 00:57:18,240
2011-3 socket. Like really Intel, just

814
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:22,960
call it like socket Blackbeard, isn't it? Like I don't know, something cool.

815
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:28,480
Um, so on a new socket from Intel, we're going to be looking at up to 20 megs of

816
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:31,760
level three cache, quad channel DDR4

817
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:34,640
memory, 40 integrated PCI Express 3.0

818
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:38,960
lanes. Um, and then I believe the rumor on the street, although I haven't seen

819
00:57:36,079 --> 00:57:43,640
any kind of um, confirmation of this is that the extreme edition will be an

820
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:48,799
octoore finally. So, that's extremely exciting

821
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:52,880
and I am uh, very very happy about that. Is it only the extreme edition and not

822
00:57:50,319 --> 00:57:58,319
the highest end K edition? No idea. Okay. Not sure. If they keep with their

823
00:57:56,160 --> 00:58:04,319
what they've done for the last two gens, then it will be the extreme edition and

824
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:07,200
the like $600 piece. But going back to

825
00:58:04,319 --> 00:58:13,599
when they first launched six cores with Gulf Town and the 980X. So if we go to

826
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:18,720
when they first launched a new number of cores and when they first launched quad

827
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:22,960
core, Yep. Yep. Quad core was for an entire generation extreme edition only

828
00:58:21,119 --> 00:58:27,839
and six core was for an entire generation extreme edition only. Yeah.

829
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:32,000
So we'll see. So maybe I will be waiting for the next version. Yeah. Because

830
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:35,680
remember I was like I might Yeah. Anyways, so very flexible tuning and

831
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:39,359
overclocking capabilities are what they're saying. But uh I think that

832
00:58:38,079 --> 00:58:45,359
basically just means they'll all be unlocked. I don't think that's going to mean anything in terms of actual

833
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:50,640
overclocking ability compared to Haswell and LG 1150. Although I'd love to be

834
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:54,400
wrong. Yeah, cuz it's not been fantastic for a little while now. Uh we're going

835
00:58:51,760 --> 00:59:00,880
to get six USB 3.0 ports. We're going to get uh 10 SATA 36 Gbit per second ports.

836
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:04,079
Um no SATA Express, which is an interesting omission. I mean, I would

837
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:09,599
love to see an Intel chips. Is there actually anywhere saying no? No. Okay,

838
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:13,760
so maybe I'm wrong. And maybe I mean I wouldn't be surprised if we see SATA

839
00:59:11,599 --> 00:59:19,040
Express being implemented um with third-party controllers and then

840
00:59:15,599 --> 00:59:20,480
utilizing those 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes, but I

841
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:25,760
don't see any guarantee that it's happening and I would have liked to see a native solution because I think you

842
00:59:24,079 --> 00:59:32,480
and I are very much on the same page as this on this. Um third party chipsets

843
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:38,559
are okay, but if I can use an Intel LAN controller, an Intel USB controller,

844
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:40,240
they just even just the drivers

845
00:59:38,559 --> 00:59:43,280
I've been so big about drivers lately because I'm testing stuff all the time

846
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:48,960
and swapping benches and doing all this kind of stuff. And like when I did that recent platform swap and I was like it

847
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:53,520
was fantastic. It just worked. That's one of the nice thing about having

848
00:59:50,079 --> 00:59:56,960
native stuff. Uh and other good news,

849
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:58,720
Google slashed prices on Google Drive.

850
00:59:56,960 --> 01:00:03,200
So let's go ahead and head over there. So um I did a few comparisons and some

851
01:00:01,599 --> 01:00:06,960
of these comparisons were in the news articles but not all of them. My

852
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:10,799
favorite one was actually a comparison that I didn't see anywhere else, which

853
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:15,920
was comparing to the launch prices for Drive. So, the launch prices for Drive

854
01:00:13,839 --> 01:00:20,559
were Wow, awesome. Yeah, there we go. 5

855
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:24,640
gigabytes for free, 25 gigabytes for 250. So, I see people going for either

856
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:33,040
the free version or the one step up mainly. So now it is four times the data

857
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:35,119
for 50 cents less because it is a $1.99

858
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:40,960
for 100 gigabytes and that's per month per month and it was 250 for or 249

859
01:00:38,079 --> 01:00:47,440
sorry specifically for uh 25 gigs. So you're getting four times the data for

860
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:49,599
50 cents less is actually pretty solid

861
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:52,960
for two years. Like you you expect it to get better. You don't necessarily expect

862
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:57,040
it to get cheaper. Um, but you do expect there to be more hopefully. Um, but

863
01:00:55,599 --> 01:01:01,280
they've done four times the amount in two years for less, which is kind of

864
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:07,319
awesome. And then 10 bucks for one terabyte and starting at a hundred bucks

865
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:10,000
for 10 terabytes or more of Google Drive

866
01:01:07,319 --> 01:01:15,599
storage. I mean, the future is going to be fantastic, eh? if you could pay, you

867
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:18,400
know, um, like let's say, okay, so let's say another 10 years down the road or

868
01:01:17,119 --> 01:01:23,359
another five years down the road or whatever. Let's say we get another 10x

869
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:27,920
increase in the the storage space or whatever that you know it happens to be.

870
01:01:25,359 --> 01:01:33,839
If you have a Google Fiber account at that point, you will actually have a 100

871
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:39,040
megabyte per second connection to terabytes of storage. You will not need

872
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:40,559
local storage anymore. But personally,

873
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:44,000
and I think a lot of other people still will, and there are still a lot of

874
01:01:42,079 --> 01:01:46,960
arguments for personal cloud versus cloud storage. And you know what? I I

875
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:55,119
see a lot of people going the route that we have, which is where you just have both. Yep. You have public cloud storage

876
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:56,880
for stuff that isn't super important and

877
01:01:55,119 --> 01:02:00,720
well, it could still be important if it's on the cloud, but isn't super like

878
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:02,799
personal. Yeah. And then that you can access really easily. You want to be

879
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:08,799
able to access it all the time. Blah blah blah blah. And then very personal stuff uh you store on your own kind of

880
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:12,000
cloud thingy with a NAS. There's free NAS. There's tons of other things out

881
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:16,160
there. And especially with computers lasting for so long these days. If you

882
01:02:14,799 --> 01:02:21,040
upgrade your computer down the line, you can still use your old computer, install

883
01:02:17,839 --> 01:02:23,440
free NAS, and then have like a beast NAS

884
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:28,480
for relatively nothing. That's actually a really great way to set up a NAS. If

885
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:33,040
you're not concerned with getting a really nice prepackaged software suite

886
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:38,720
like Synology's DSM and you're willing to do the work yourself, you can build a

887
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:41,599
NAS on the cheap with like old parts on

888
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:45,359
eBay or whatever and get just beastly performance and you know and it can and

889
01:02:43,839 --> 01:02:51,440
it can have so much more functionality like the ability to I just found out that Emit has a web client. Really?

890
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:56,160
Yeah. So you could stream you can stream video and music to yourself through emit

891
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:59,920
over the web. It's not going to be as like clean and yeah, it won't be as

892
01:02:58,319 --> 01:03:06,480
clean and shiny as a prepackaged solution like DSM or whatever, but you

893
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:10,079
can do it for it's called freess. So, I

894
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:12,000
guess you can figure it out.

895
01:03:10,079 --> 01:03:17,599
I don't know. All right. So, this is neither good nor bad. Uh, Google has

896
01:03:14,319 --> 01:03:19,440
removed underlined links from their

897
01:03:17,599 --> 01:03:24,240
search results. So, if you uh here, I'm just going to just going to blow this

898
01:03:21,119 --> 01:03:26,319
up. So, you can see that the blue one is

899
01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:29,839
underlined. And then if you click the image, you can see what a new search

900
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:32,839
looks like where it is no longer underlined.

901
01:03:34,079 --> 01:03:40,319
I actually think it's more interesting than you do. My favorite part was that

902
01:03:37,119 --> 01:03:41,839
was a legitimate yawn. Okay. Okay. Uh

903
01:03:40,319 --> 01:03:49,680
the original article is from The Verge, by the way. And you know what? I I

904
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:51,799
actually I like underlined links. Me,

905
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:56,480
too. Because it's very obviously a link. But I have noticed over time no one

906
01:03:55,440 --> 01:04:02,160
really does it anymore. That no one really does it anymore. And so much of

907
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:06,960
the internet experience is clickable and the web design has gotten so much better

908
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:11,680
in terms of making things look clicky. Yeah. That I guess it's okay. But if

909
01:04:08,799 --> 01:04:15,200
they do away with blue for hyperlinks, that's Yeah, I don't see that coming

910
01:04:13,599 --> 01:04:19,359
anytime soon, though. Look at our Google Drive right now. Yes, the clickable

911
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:24,240
links are blue. Every every like clickable link everywhere is blue. Um,

912
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:29,079
yeah, I don't see the blue going away anytime soon. I wouldn't be too worried about that. All right, so this article

913
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:33,599
is on time.com and Google will start

914
01:04:31,359 --> 01:04:38,160
encrypting your searches. Now, I'm going to do the I'm going to do the fairy

915
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:43,119
tales and butterflies and sparkles version of this, and then I'll let you

916
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:45,599
do the like the the cane version of

917
01:04:43,119 --> 01:04:49,680
this, the gloom and doom. All right. So, the good news here is

918
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:55,520
that this will make it more difficult for your data to be intercepted by third

919
01:04:52,799 --> 01:05:00,160
parties. And of course, the the Edward Snowden leaks are a big part of why this

920
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:06,319
is happening right now because Google doesn't want their customers information

921
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:08,480
being stolen. Another big awesome happy

922
01:05:06,319 --> 01:05:12,880
time thing about this is that it can potentially allow them to circumvent

923
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:18,559
censorship and make the internet more free because it will not allow ISPs or

924
01:05:16,559 --> 01:05:22,960
other intermediaries to not only not to not only steal the data, but even know

925
01:05:20,319 --> 01:05:26,960
what the heck it is. So, a more encrypted internet is better. And they

926
01:05:25,359 --> 01:05:33,760
say the reason that they're doing this is to encourage other companies to take

927
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:38,680
a more security-minded approach to what they're doing. Now, let's get the sort

928
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:43,039
of what they're doing part. They're saving their profit

929
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:47,280
margins because they can do this to help protect against ISPs replacing ads and

930
01:05:45,599 --> 01:05:52,240
gathering data on their customers, which is talk about what that is.

931
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:57,359
What what is ISPs replacing? ISPs can detect ads. Ad block can detect ads. Ads

932
01:05:55,039 --> 01:06:02,319
are incredibly easy to detect and an ISP could remove that ad and input their own

933
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:06,799
uh therefore taking all of the profit for that and screwing with customers

934
01:06:05,039 --> 01:06:10,480
essentially and potentially making websites a lot worse. Like if an if an

935
01:06:08,559 --> 01:06:13,839
ISP is injecting ads like we were talking about earlier like the pirate

936
01:06:12,079 --> 01:06:16,720
bay does, no one's going to want to go to your website. I don't think they

937
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:20,559
would do that. I don't think they would either. But it's but even if they were

938
01:06:19,119 --> 01:06:26,240
injecting ads that we're not approving like linesttips.com has ads but we

939
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:29,839
refuse to have things like those splash splash screen ads. We don't want any

940
01:06:28,079 --> 01:06:34,400
that have sound. Like we have guidelines. We can blacklist ones that

941
01:06:31,839 --> 01:06:40,240
we don't like. Whereas if our ISP or your ISP was just injecting crap, we

942
01:06:37,599 --> 01:06:44,799
can't control the web experience of our users. And that's not right. And like

943
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:50,799
okay, what if you are a religious website? Yes. Yes. And you get ads for a

944
01:06:47,599 --> 01:06:52,880
religious dating site, which is not the

945
01:06:50,799 --> 01:06:56,559
religion that your website is, which is awkward. So, if you had like a like a

946
01:06:54,559 --> 01:07:00,240
like a Christian site and they didn't and it was like um you know, find Muslim

947
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:05,440
singles or whatever. And none of these are necessarily bad things. It's just

948
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:08,240
not a very good like why is that there?

949
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:12,240
Um so yeah, and then and then collecting data on you, which is what they do, and

950
01:07:10,319 --> 01:07:16,880
then they sell that. So the ISP won't be able to do that. And then they have more

951
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:22,000
market share in that area as well. Mind you, if if they're so okay, I guess that

952
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:27,440
aligns with what they said about Google Fiber where they don't want to be an

953
01:07:23,559 --> 01:07:29,440
ISP. They just want the ISPs to sit in

954
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:33,119
the corner like little children and do what they're told and collect no data

955
01:07:31,599 --> 01:07:37,520
and just plug the thing into the thing and then transfer the thing to the thing. That's why Google has no interest

956
01:07:36,079 --> 01:07:41,440
in being an ISP because there's absolutely no value in it whatsoever and

957
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:45,200
they are determined to take all of the value out of it.

958
01:07:43,079 --> 01:07:49,280
Yep. So, I hope that they have to be coming at high speed because I'd rather

959
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:55,839
have Google Fiber. Anyways, yeah. So, there's that.

960
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:58,240
Uh, another thing is Whoa, my thing just

961
01:07:55,839 --> 01:08:04,720
went totally away from that article. Yes. Oh, I don't remember where it went.

962
01:08:02,079 --> 01:08:07,280
But it's not 100% security either. I don't know where the article is, but I'm

963
01:08:05,839 --> 01:08:11,039
just going to wing this. Uh, it's not 100% security either, which is something

964
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:16,239
fairly important. They've been talking about uh they started doing this in China. I

965
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:19,199
believe they moved their offices in China to Hong Kong in I believe 2010.

966
01:08:18,319 --> 01:08:24,480
That's actually what I was looking for in the doc, but I believe that's how it's done. From Beijing to Hong Kong,

967
01:08:22,239 --> 01:08:28,159
which is Hong Kong is now a part of China again, but it's still

968
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:32,400
semi-autonomous. Um, so they dodged that and they started encrypting searches in

969
01:08:29,759 --> 01:08:36,560
China already. Um, but they're scared that people are going to think that it's

970
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:39,920
100% security because it's not 100%

971
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:42,480
security. It's nothing is. It helps you.

972
01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:46,000
It's not if if you start searching very incriminating things, whether or not

973
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:49,040
that incriminating thing should be incriminating or not doesn't matter. If

974
01:08:47,679 --> 01:08:53,440
you start searching those incriminating things, people could still potentially

975
01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:57,440
find it. So, don't don't just be like, "Yeah, Google searches are encrypted

976
01:08:55,120 --> 01:09:03,040
now," which they're not yet. Probably where you are. Um, but once that

977
01:09:00,319 --> 01:09:07,040
happens, don't just think you're behind the iron wall because you're not

978
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:12,159
necessarily. which actually leads into our first sponsor integration pretty uh

979
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:17,839
handily because if you're looking for something that goes that okay encryption

980
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:22,319
is not the answer by itself and a VPN is not the answer by itself but these are

981
01:09:19,759 --> 01:09:28,319
both steps that you can take to deliver a more secure online experience for

982
01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:33,679
yourself. So Hotspot Shield thanks to them for sponsoring the show today and

983
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:37,440
our message from them is that it's all about access. So, what a VPN does,

984
01:09:35,759 --> 01:09:42,239
Hotspot Shield included, and we recommend their elite service because

985
01:09:39,679 --> 01:09:46,719
even though it's paid for, it has a lot less of the obnoxious stuff that you'll

986
01:09:44,239 --> 01:09:51,120
find with their free version as well as any other adup supported VPN. Um, from

987
01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:57,440
what we've seen, I've actually seen a lot of threads on the forum about this. What's the best free VPN? And the answer

988
01:09:54,719 --> 01:10:00,640
is kind of like there isn't really one. They all kind of suck. So, Hotspot

989
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:05,120
Shield is very reasonable, especially if you use our 20% off code. uh offer code

990
01:10:03,440 --> 01:10:08,640
line is right there. You basically set it up and what it does. And I've

991
01:10:07,040 --> 01:10:13,760
actually had quite a few people ask me about this. So, I'm going to go ahead

992
01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:16,159
and uh I'm gonna go ahead and explain

993
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:21,360
it. So, I've had people say, "Will a VPN make my internet slower?" And the answer

994
01:10:18,239 --> 01:10:23,600
is yes, because that's inherently how it

995
01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:27,760
works. It takes Okay, so let's say this is me

996
01:10:25,159 --> 01:10:31,679
and this is a website I'm trying to visit. The way that you would normally

997
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:36,400
connect to it is directly. So they would have your IP. They would have any

998
01:10:33,679 --> 01:10:40,880
information that you send or receive directly. The way a VPN works is it goes

999
01:10:39,199 --> 01:10:45,520
ahead and takes your information and sends it somewhere else entirely like to

1000
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:50,400
Luke's hair and then sends it to the site and then I'm sorry I just poked you

1001
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:52,239
in the eye and then back to you. So

1002
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:56,560
there is going to be a delay in terms of latency. I wouldn't expect to be able to

1003
01:10:54,080 --> 01:11:00,640
game smoothly on a VPN and there's going to be a change in your speed and in fact

1004
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:04,960
running speed test might just deliver the weirdest results ever like just be

1005
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:08,480
fundamentally broken but what it does is it's redirecting the traffic so all the

1006
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:13,679
traffic looks like it's coming from that other place. This has the benefit of so

1007
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:18,000
let's go ahead of allowing you to pretend you're from somewhere you're not

1008
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:23,040
and to somewhat although nothing is bulletproof again be from somewhere that

1009
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:29,600
you're not. So you can get access to UK sites or US sites even if you're located

1010
01:11:26,480 --> 01:11:32,159
in Portugal or whatever else. So, it's a

1011
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:38,880
great way to if you are determined enough to get access to content

1012
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:38,880
legitimately, at least

1013
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:46,880
circumvent the the blocks that are in place so that you can pay for the

1014
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:51,520
content like for example, US Netflix even if you're not in the US and give

1015
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:55,280
the content creator something even if you are according to the terms of

1016
01:11:53,120 --> 01:12:00,880
service not really allowed to do it. So, one more time guys, that's bit.ly/hs

1017
01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:06,320
/hsshare for 20% off elite prices. Use offer code Linus. And I've actually got

1018
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:09,440
a link to give you guys. So here, go ahead. I'm going to post this in the

1019
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:15,920
Twitch chat. This is something I always forget to do. There we go. Boom. That

1020
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:18,199
didn't work at all. Am I not allowed to post links in my own Twitch chat? There

1021
01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:25,120
we go. All right, so let's move into our second sponsor. Huge thanks to

1022
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:30,760
squarespace.com. I believe today is the last day of their hunt for new software

1023
01:12:28,239 --> 01:12:36,480
engineers and all that. So, be a part of it. If you want to go check that out,

1024
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:39,120
squarespace.com is the super easy way to

1025
01:12:36,480 --> 01:12:42,560
build a beautiful website for yourself. And I always use my own site as an

1026
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:47,920
example, but I really do think it's a great example. So, we're going to go ahead and screen share with me.

1027
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:52,320
linusmediagarroup.com. We have tried flooding it during the stream. It is

1028
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:56,880
super easy to set up. It works with touch. It works on a phone. It works on

1029
01:12:54,320 --> 01:13:02,239
a tablet. It works on whatever you want. And it is very, very inexpensive.

1030
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:06,159
Squarespace takes care of the software. So, the cloud-based management software

1031
01:13:04,159 --> 01:13:10,880
that you use to build your own website, and they take care of the hosting for

1032
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:15,840
you. And if you go ahead and activate your account for an entire year, whether

1033
01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:20,400
it's a blog or a photography portfolio or a store, they have a fully

1034
01:13:17,440 --> 01:13:24,239
functioning e-commerce module. Now you for an entire year they will actually

1035
01:13:22,239 --> 01:13:29,440
throw in your domain hosting for you for the first year for nothing. So you can

1036
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:34,719
save 10% and the free trial lasts for 2 weeks. We've actually done stuff in the

1037
01:13:31,679 --> 01:13:37,360
past where uh we've had people submit

1038
01:13:34,719 --> 01:13:41,120
their own Squarespace trial sites and we've given away accounts for it before.

1039
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:43,840
So guys uh let me know in Twitter actually if you'd like for us to do that

1040
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:48,719
again and I'll reach out to Squarespace and I'll ask them if you've been thinking about starting your own

1041
01:13:46,480 --> 01:13:52,320
website. It is a great way to differentiate. I know Unbox Therapy uses

1042
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:56,400
Squarespace for his site now. His old one was kind of terror bad and our old

1043
01:13:54,719 --> 01:14:01,040
one on WordPress was kind of terrible too. And this one we created. Did we

1044
01:13:58,239 --> 01:14:07,440
spend more than two days on this? Total total man. I think so. But I think it

1045
01:14:04,239 --> 01:14:09,760
was rebranding, right? Not like like art

1046
01:14:07,440 --> 01:14:13,679
assets, not building the site. Yeah. And it was like ideas and oh, we don't

1047
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:17,600
necessarily like how that looks. Let's go a different direction with it. Yeah,

1048
01:14:15,199 --> 01:14:21,520
like stuff that wasn't complications. It was more furthering of the Well, what

1049
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:25,199
happened was when you create your account, you select a template based on

1050
01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:28,880
the kind of site you want to create and I just picked a random one because I

1051
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:32,320
wasn't sure. And what I didn't realize is you can't go back and just change it

1052
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:35,360
because the way the templates work is they're very tightly integrated. That's

1053
01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:41,280
how they get it to work well on the desktop, well on a phone, on a tablet, or whatever else. Um, so I think we had

1054
01:14:39,440 --> 01:14:44,880
to we were trying to use the wrong template and then we had to undo it and

1055
01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:48,880
then start over. And if we hadn't wasted time because I just was like click click

1056
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:55,159
click click click then it probably would have been fine just like you did with

1057
01:14:51,199 --> 01:14:55,159
our original forum software.

1058
01:14:58,480 --> 01:15:08,000
I love you man. That sucked. Anyways, continuing time.

1059
01:15:04,480 --> 01:15:09,440
Uh smart cover. Yeah. Ah I don't really

1060
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:16,800
care about that. Let's just we'll talk about that when they actually send us a phone and a smart cover. Um

1061
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:21,239
All right. Oh, something that doesn't suck. Razer Blade

1062
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:27,920
14 new edition.

1063
01:15:23,159 --> 01:15:30,400
Wow. This is the notebook that I want.

1064
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:35,360
Like are they sending you one? I don't know

1065
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:38,239
yet. For for Blade 14 original, I think

1066
01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:43,520
I was like number four on the list. So, and then just despite despite the uh the

1067
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:46,880
call out and everything, yeah, might not might not be number four. You know what

1068
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:52,159
I mean? This is something I hope that viewers understand is my relationship

1069
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:58,159
with Razer is not always peachy keen. They they

1070
01:15:55,600 --> 01:16:02,239
they sponsored the WAN Show for like months. So, yeah, we've taken money from

1071
01:16:00,159 --> 01:16:06,239
them, but if you look at our my Razer Blade 14 video, I call them out pretty

1072
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:09,760
hardcore on that screen. and we don't have them as sponsors on the way

1073
01:16:07,679 --> 01:16:13,199
anymore. And yeah, but that's not why that just ran out. They're still willing

1074
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:18,320
to sponsor it. It's just that their internal targets for how many new comms

1075
01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:21,600
users per dollar doesn't align with how much a W show sponsorship costs. So

1076
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:24,719
that's that's the only reason we're we're asking for too much money. And so

1077
01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:31,040
they're just like, well, whatever. Then we just won't advertise with you. And so so that like that's fine. So I called

1078
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:34,080
them out on that. I called them out on like they weren't even talking about who

1079
01:16:32,719 --> 01:16:39,679
was manufacturing their switches in my video. I'm like, "Yeah, they're, you know, kale switches." You know, like,

1080
01:16:38,239 --> 01:16:45,600
uh, what was what was the other one that I was pretty brutal on? The Kraken Forged Heads

1081
01:16:42,679 --> 01:16:49,760
headphones in my video. I'm just like, I don't like it, but you might if you like

1082
01:16:48,159 --> 01:16:54,000
this thing that, you know, I don't personally like. So, like, it's not

1083
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:57,760
always 100% Peachy Keen. And then, you know, I had a meeting with them that was

1084
01:16:55,360 --> 01:17:01,280
about an hour long at CES where they're awardwinning, what's it called? The

1085
01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:04,800
Naboo, their smart wrist thing. Oh, yeah. I was just like, I don't think it

1086
01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:07,760
makes a ton of sense. And they're just like, well, we think it's great. I'm

1087
01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:10,880
like, okay, well, when I see the final one and you guys send one, then I'll

1088
01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:15,280
make up my mind at that point in time. But like, we had a pretty strong

1089
01:17:12,480 --> 01:17:19,120
disagreement about that, too. So, this one

1090
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:21,679
though, if this arrives and it's what

1091
01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:29,199
I'm expecting it to be, then I personally told Minlang Tan, their

1092
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:31,760
CEO, when I did my original review, I he

1093
01:17:29,199 --> 01:17:36,960
he made me promise. He's like, "Look, if we fix the things you complained about,

1094
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:42,000
will you say that the Blade 14 is your ideal perfect notebook?" And I said,

1095
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:46,840
"Yeah." Cuz I couldn't think of anything else that was wrong with it. So, the new

1096
01:17:44,159 --> 01:17:52,679
one is the world's thinnest gaming laptop now

1097
01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:54,840
with a what is it?

1098
01:17:52,679 --> 01:18:00,320
2800 by 1800

1099
01:17:56,520 --> 01:18:04,679
display. Holy crap.

1100
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:07,440
And the way or no sorry 3200 by 18800

1101
01:18:04,679 --> 01:18:13,120
display. And the amazing thing about this is that while they did upgrade the

1102
01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:20,400
graphics card. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Not TN anymore. Exo. So that's a Sharp IPS

1103
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:23,040
panel. So, they've put an Exo and it's a

1104
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:27,600
touchscreen, which was my that was my off thereord complaint about the Blade

1105
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:31,199
14 because I felt like most gamers wouldn't really care about touchscreen

1106
01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:35,120
as a feature, but when I talked to them, I said I personally like the touchcreen

1107
01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:41,440
and I'd love to see it implemented. Um, it's got new uh NVIDIA graphics. So,

1108
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:43,440
it's got an 870M in there. Solid, which

1109
01:18:41,440 --> 01:18:48,320
is solid. That was like the only thing I cared about. And I don't I don't know if

1110
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:54,960
you know this, but some 870M are going to be Kepler based and some are going to

1111
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:57,199
be Maxwell based. Yeah. So, I'm hoping

1112
01:18:54,960 --> 01:19:01,520
that it's a Maxwell one. And if it's a Maxwell, this is going to be one power

1113
01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:04,560
efficient. And they're both about the same speed. Um, but it depends how many

1114
01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:11,520
functional cores they have versus what clock speed they're running at. But anyway, anyway, so if this one has the

1115
01:19:08,719 --> 01:19:16,320
Maxwell version in it, this thing is going to blow your mind. Now, I've had

1116
01:19:13,679 --> 01:19:21,520
people say that even though they amped up the graphics card in it, they amped

1117
01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:25,760
up the resolution to the point where it's just stupid and nothing can drive

1118
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:32,480
it anyway. And you'd be right. This is pretty much a 3K resolution. But this is

1119
01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:35,360
something to remember. The reason that I

1120
01:19:32,480 --> 01:19:39,840
ponyied up like $750 when I was a student, which was a lot of money for

1121
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:45,480
me, I like I bet the rent or like I paid

1122
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:48,760
spent the rent on Adele 2405 FPW was

1123
01:19:45,480 --> 01:19:51,920
because even though LCDs have a native

1124
01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:54,719
resolution, you can work around it if

1125
01:19:51,920 --> 01:20:00,320
you can get um if your resolution is an even multiple of the resolution you're

1126
01:19:57,040 --> 01:20:04,480
trying to run. So, what's cool about

1127
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:08,640
3200 by,800 is that it divides evenly

1128
01:20:04,480 --> 01:20:11,760
into 1,600 by 900, which on a 14-in

1129
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:13,679
display higher than 720p is going to

1130
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:20,400
look really good, and you're not going to get any BS interpolation because it

1131
01:20:16,719 --> 01:20:22,719
will be a 1:4 pixel mapping ratio. So,

1132
01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:28,239
everything's going to look crisp. So you can have beautiful, super crisp text and

1133
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:32,960
you can have your gaming look fine and not be too demanding to run. I I have to

1134
01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:38,280
throw a joke in here before you keep going. Um I just want this notebook. So

1135
01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:40,640
it's uh Intel chipset

1136
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:44,080
HM87. And when I read that, I actually read it wrong. I read as TM87 because

1137
01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:49,199
I've been playing too much Pokemon lately. So, for Pokemon fans and anyone

1138
01:20:46,480 --> 01:20:53,280
who wants to see a joke, Google TM87 and look at the first link and it plays into

1139
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:56,960
how excited he is about this and then just keep going. I'm not even going to

1140
01:20:54,800 --> 01:21:00,560
explain. Okay, it's got a quadcore processor, Haswell, etc., etc., etc.

1141
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:06,800
Anyway, I'm really excited about this notebook and I'm trying to convince

1142
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:10,000
Razer that they should send one without

1143
01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:10,000
like a proper loaner

1144
01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:15,600
agreement cuz like a lot of the time I have to sign a contract that says that

1145
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:19,040
they'll just bill my credit card if I don't return it. So, I'm going to be

1146
01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:23,800
like, "Yeah, you know what guys, we go way back. Just send it. Don't worry

1147
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:26,960
about it." cuz I would trade in my

1148
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:28,960
XPS12 like that even though it's a

1149
01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:34,960
convertible and I actually do use tablet mode once in a while. Oh,

1150
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:42,120
I am Everyone in the Twitch chat figured it out. I am le

1151
01:21:37,080 --> 01:21:45,040
stoked. Oh my goodness. TM87 is Swagger.

1152
01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:50,080
Okay, I'm not even going to look at it. It's Swagger. It's TM87 is Swagger.

1153
01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:55,520
There's actually a song about TM87 and it's actually pretty I haven't played

1154
01:21:51,679 --> 01:21:57,120
Pokemon since like Pokemon Blue on I

1155
01:21:55,520 --> 01:22:01,040
played Pokemon Blue and then on Game Boy Color. Yeah, I played Pokemon Blue on

1156
01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:06,000
Game Boy Color and then I skipped everything and then Well, TM87 wasn't in

1157
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:11,120
Pokemon Blue, so that's why you don't know it yet. And I never watched the show, so I got nothing. Yeah. Well, I

1158
01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:15,199
watched the first season and so and then I started playing X and Y because I've

1159
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:19,840
played I'd play like 10 or 20 minutes of all the Pokemons between here and then

1160
01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:24,239
where we are now with X and Y and Blue and Red and I actually see X and Y as a

1161
01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:27,520
really good improvement. Okay. I didn't see the other ones as like major

1162
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:30,320
improvements and changes, but I like the new one. Are you still using your DS all

1163
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:34,639
the time? I really want to play Bravely Default. I'm at the Elite 4, okay, of X

1164
01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:40,000
and Y. So, when I'm done, you can play. Maybe we can work out a deal where I borrow your DS for like a month and then

1165
01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:44,560
you own the Bravely Default cartridge or something. I was going to see if I could

1166
01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:50,639
make that deal cuz I looked it up after you told me about it and I was like, "Wow, I want to play it. I want to play

1167
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:53,920
it." Yeah. When people suggested it to me, I was like, "Oh, cool." Uh, I've

1168
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:58,000
seen ads for it and I went on Steam cuz I didn't even I had no idea what it was.

1169
01:22:56,080 --> 01:23:03,280
You went on Steam, so I was like, "Oh, cool. I have a game." Oh, it's on the

1170
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:08,400
DS. My DS Lite is broken. Oh, it's not available for DS Lite

1171
01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:13,120
anyway. And I really don't want to buy one because I'm not going to play any

1172
01:23:10,639 --> 01:23:16,960
games on it other than I just I want to play that. It's like I could play that

1173
01:23:15,199 --> 01:23:20,159
and like remakes of like older Final Fantasy games and that's the only thing

1174
01:23:18,480 --> 01:23:23,920
I could possibly care about that came out of Square Enix in the last like 5

1175
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:28,080
years. I've been having a great time with Pokemon X. That's the one I have.

1176
01:23:25,679 --> 01:23:32,320
But I'm so stoked on Bravely Default. Like it's a JRPG that has like I think

1177
01:23:30,400 --> 01:23:36,639
it's like an 85% plus rating on Metacritic, which is like that's a

1178
01:23:34,719 --> 01:23:42,320
pretty strong indicator that it probably basically kicks ass. Yeah. So, okay.

1179
01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:48,239
Things that don't kick ass. No, expect not to talk for 5 minutes because I am

1180
01:23:44,480 --> 01:23:50,880
so mad about this. So Microsoft and

1181
01:23:48,239 --> 01:23:56,400
Google like okay this was one of the cool this was you know what some of the

1182
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:58,320
stuff that won awards at CES like

1183
01:23:56,400 --> 01:24:00,480
honestly like I'm like shaking with rage right now. I'm going to jot in before

1184
01:23:59,520 --> 01:24:07,120
you keep going while you search for that. This brings in the brings up the trade agreement thing that we debated

1185
01:24:04,480 --> 01:24:10,800
about with Tesla. Anyways, keep going. Okay. Okay. I'm just gonna I'm you know

1186
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:16,880
what? I'm gonna make you guys sit through this. I'm gonna make you I'm gonna make you watch my video from CES.

1187
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:20,400
Let me just see if uh I don't know. Make sure your levels aren't broken. You guys

1188
01:24:19,199 --> 01:24:25,199
will have to let me know if you have audio here. I'm sorry. Okay, you know

1189
01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:30,400
what? Maybe I'll just maybe I'll just like go along there. This So, this is

1190
01:24:28,480 --> 01:24:33,920
the Transformer book duet. I'm going to go ahead and maximize it. Didn't even

1191
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:38,639
get that many views. It didn't get that much attention at CES. It didn't win any

1192
01:24:36,159 --> 01:24:43,679
amazing CES Innovation Awards, but this was one of the coolest products at the

1193
01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:45,679
show because what it is is it's a

1194
01:24:43,679 --> 01:24:51,040
transformer. So, you can actually pop the top off here and turn it into a

1195
01:24:47,440 --> 01:24:53,040
tablet or it's a notebook. That's fine.

1196
01:24:51,040 --> 01:24:57,520
It runs uh Yeah, that's fine, guys. I'll walk you through it. So, it runs an

1197
01:24:55,280 --> 01:25:02,880
Intel processor, which means that the Windows experience is your normal full

1198
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:09,120
Windows experience, not some ARM Windows RT BS. Full Windows experience. It runs

1199
01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:14,800
that same Intel processor on Android. They had games running like butter

1200
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:19,679
smooth, man. It was amazing. outstanding Android experience. And what was cool

1201
01:25:17,440 --> 01:25:25,280
about it is you could actually switch. So all the hardware was actually in the

1202
01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:28,719
top half and the bottom half was just IO and keyboard and maybe an extended

1203
01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:32,239
battery. I can't remember. But what was cool about it was check this out. You

1204
01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:35,120
just hit the button and it takes literally this long. We didn't speed up

1205
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:41,360
the footage. We didn't play around with it. You can see me. I'm just sitting there. Boom. Windows Android. And what's

1206
01:25:38,719 --> 01:25:45,920
cool about that is not necessarily that I think everyone, you know, needs to

1207
01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:49,120
have an Android tablet in the same way that I don't think everyone needs to

1208
01:25:47,440 --> 01:25:54,639
have a notebook, but if you were to offer me a device that is a hybrid

1209
01:25:51,600 --> 01:25:57,679
between the two so that I can enjoy,

1210
01:25:54,639 --> 01:25:59,440
maybe I actually really like Hangouts on

1211
01:25:57,679 --> 01:26:05,040
Android and I just want to sit with my tablet on the couch and, you know, video

1212
01:26:02,480 --> 01:26:09,280
chat with someone. That's fantastic. and I'm having like that Google native

1213
01:26:07,280 --> 01:26:14,080
experience, but maybe I want to get some real work done, which you cannot do on

1214
01:26:11,679 --> 01:26:19,600
Android. I'm sorry, but it just Android tablets are not up to the same level as

1215
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:23,679
what you can achieve with a Windows notebook that is properly integrated and

1216
01:26:21,679 --> 01:26:26,960
this one was really wellb built. So, what if I want to have that experience

1217
01:26:25,199 --> 01:26:31,120
and the other one and I'm willing to pay a premium for it? That's where a product

1218
01:26:28,880 --> 01:26:36,000
like this made a ton of sense. Switching back to Windows took like five seconds

1219
01:26:32,960 --> 01:26:38,480
as well. So I could have my cake and I

1220
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:45,120
could eat it too and it was amazing. And Microsoft and Google have collectively

1221
01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:49,440
screwed us by saying no, we don't want

1222
01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:51,760
hybrids between Android and Windows now.

1223
01:26:49,440 --> 01:26:58,159
ASUS has been doing this for a while and they have, I guarantee you, put a ton of

1224
01:26:54,719 --> 01:26:59,360
work into this. It started at CES 2013

1225
01:26:58,159 --> 01:27:04,239
when they first showed off the Transformer AIO and that was an

1226
01:27:01,520 --> 01:27:08,000
all-in-one PC that docked to a Windows machine and then you pulled it away and

1227
01:27:06,480 --> 01:27:13,440
all the Android hardware. I think it was a Tegra 3 processor was actually inside

1228
01:27:10,800 --> 01:27:17,120
the tablet itself. They have refined that technology over the course of a

1229
01:27:15,199 --> 01:27:21,199
year to have it all running on the same hardware seamlessly, letting you switch

1230
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:26,239
between it. And Microsoft and Google have basically spat all over that

1231
01:27:23,520 --> 01:27:31,120
innovation and that R&D work and taken an extremely important product away from

1232
01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:35,360
customers. We should have the right to choose between the platforms that are

1233
01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:40,000
available on the hardware that we can get. And even if we can't necessarily

1234
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:44,000
install it and dual boot it ourselves, someone like ASUS or MSI or Gigabyte or

1235
01:27:42,159 --> 01:27:48,000
I don't care who should have the right to deliver that to us if they're the

1236
01:27:46,080 --> 01:27:52,480
ones who did the work in the first place to allow us to have

1237
01:27:50,199 --> 01:27:57,360
it. So that's all I have to say about that. Um I don't know where my notes on

1238
01:27:55,679 --> 01:28:03,280
this went. And I don't always defend ASUS because they're not always right,

1239
01:27:59,920 --> 01:28:04,400
but in this case they got screwed. Uh I

1240
01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:10,880
don't know where my notes on this went. they seemingly have been deleted, which is weird. But um one thing that I find

1241
01:28:09,360 --> 01:28:15,040
interesting is that they didn't care. I know it's a different platform entirely,

1242
01:28:12,480 --> 01:28:21,040
but Android did not care about the Ubuntu Android mixture,

1243
01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:24,960
which is interesting because it's an OS. You could plug it into a hub of sorts

1244
01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:29,520
and then have a desktop experience and all that kind of stuff. It's a completely different platform, which is

1245
01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:34,000
a problem for the comparison, but still, they didn't really care. But now that

1246
01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:37,040
it's Windows and now that it makes more sense. And Microsoft has never cared

1247
01:28:35,679 --> 01:28:43,679
about dual boot. Microsoft has never cared about that. And this was so much more elegant. You didn't even have to

1248
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:45,760
dual boot. You just switched. And like I

1249
01:28:43,679 --> 01:28:49,120
I actually really wanted this because there's a lot of really interesting

1250
01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:52,719
Android games coming out where you play it and you go, "Wow, this is a really

1251
01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:56,239
good game. It would be a lot better if I had a different interface." And with

1252
01:28:54,159 --> 01:28:59,800
Intel's improved onboard graphics, we were going to be able to get a decent

1253
01:28:58,080 --> 01:29:04,960
notebook grade gaming experience and with I mean now I'm even

1254
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:09,360
more mad. Steam in home streaming would have run perfectly on this notebook. You

1255
01:29:07,040 --> 01:29:14,880
could play every Android game and every Windows game under the sun with one

1256
01:29:12,960 --> 01:29:19,360
device in your home and they just took it away from us. It was a fantastic

1257
01:29:16,639 --> 01:29:21,960
laptop. Absolutely fantastic laptop. Had actually already talked to people about

1258
01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:26,000
recommending. I know it wasn't a huge video. Um, but I liked it. I didn't even

1259
01:29:24,320 --> 01:29:29,360
get to go see it, but I liked it a lot. Um, and I've talked to multiple people

1260
01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:33,600
about it. I have people that like developing things for different platforms. One thing that's really

1261
01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:38,239
frustrating for those type of people is having to have some type of platform

1262
01:29:35,199 --> 01:29:39,920
with iOS on it, which is frustrating

1263
01:29:38,239 --> 01:29:43,920
when you don't want to buy an iOS platform designed device. I had to buy

1264
01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:46,639
an iPad mini because we couldn't test something that was only available with

1265
01:29:45,360 --> 01:29:51,120
that and we got a sample of it and committed to do a review. Yeah, it's like crappy. So, that that's frustrating

1266
01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:56,880
and annoying, but Android is usually easier to get. But if you this made it

1267
01:29:54,560 --> 01:30:01,040
so elegant it was ridiculous. I would have bought one of these and I I mean to

1268
01:29:58,800 --> 01:30:05,360
to be clear about that like I don't buy a ton of hardware because we get a lot

1269
01:30:03,199 --> 01:30:07,600
of samples and there's you know if I really need something get a lot of

1270
01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:12,800
laptop samples. We don't get a lot of laptop samples. This one was a sample though. This one wasn't. That's your old

1271
01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:17,120
one. This is my old one. Um, but I mean if I really really need something,

1272
01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:21,040
there's usually some way that I can figure out, you know, like, hey, we'll,

1273
01:30:19,280 --> 01:30:26,239
you know, we'll run an ad for you there or or like, hey, we we really need some

1274
01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:29,440
RAM for our test bench, so when we do testing, we'll like make sure we say

1275
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:33,600
that it's your RAM in the test bench. Like simple stuff like nothing that

1276
01:30:31,440 --> 01:30:37,280
compromises integrity, but I it's not hard for us to get hardware if we really

1277
01:30:35,360 --> 01:30:42,159
need it. But this was the kind of thing where ASUS doesn't sample notebooks, but

1278
01:30:40,480 --> 01:30:46,880
I would have just bought it because it's an amazing product and it's a great user

1279
01:30:44,480 --> 01:30:50,480
experience and I'm I don't want to talk about this anymore. Why don't you do

1280
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:55,120
builds of the week here? I'm going to leave this with you because um we have

1281
01:30:53,199 --> 01:31:00,960
something interesting coming up. I've been trying to figure out for quite some

1282
01:30:57,040 --> 01:31:04,639
time how we can how we can get rid of

1283
01:31:00,960 --> 01:31:06,639
some of the like buildup of tech stuff

1284
01:31:04,639 --> 01:31:12,000
that we have lying around here. And the Linus TechTips store, which you have to

1285
01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:16,400
log in on linesttips.com. Don't worry, it's easy to log in on linesttips.com.

1286
01:31:14,159 --> 01:31:20,159
You can use Facebook, Steam, or Twitter. Um, but if you go to the store, which is

1287
01:31:18,239 --> 01:31:23,520
right here, you can actually see that there's a bunch of stuff in there. But

1288
01:31:21,679 --> 01:31:27,679
it's hard for me to really publicize it because, you know, I don't want to I

1289
01:31:25,760 --> 01:31:32,400
don't want to turn it into like a mad rush of people heading over there. Um,

1290
01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:38,560
because a lot of this stuff won't have any warranty because it's a sample or whatever else. And honestly,

1291
01:31:35,920 --> 01:31:42,639
coordinating this many giveaways, you guys have no idea how much work

1292
01:31:40,080 --> 01:31:47,600
giveaways are. This stuff can help contribute to our daily operating costs.

1293
01:31:44,960 --> 01:31:52,560
So, we'd love to get some kind of um some kind of monetary compensation for

1294
01:31:50,880 --> 01:31:57,120
it so that we can reinvest that money into new equipment. And of course,

1295
01:31:55,600 --> 01:32:01,679
something that we've started doing more lately, reinvested into buying samples

1296
01:31:59,920 --> 01:32:05,199
of stuff that we otherwise wouldn't have access to, which lead us into the topic

1297
01:32:04,080 --> 01:32:10,320
about the things that are going to be released this video, this week. The video really the video that is going to

1298
01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:13,679
be released. Yeah. So, so there's lots of new stuff that we that we want to

1299
01:32:12,000 --> 01:32:19,360
reinvest in and this will actually help us. So, I am going to go and I'm going

1300
01:32:16,800 --> 01:32:24,000
to just go get some stuff that I'm just going to add to the store and we're

1301
01:32:21,280 --> 01:32:28,159
going to do like live like garage sale after the WAN Show today. So, once we

1302
01:32:26,239 --> 01:32:32,719
end the show, stick around for like a couple minutes if you guys are interested in the garage sale. Shouldn't

1303
01:32:31,360 --> 01:32:38,080
Yeah. So, we're still doing the show. You're not going right now, right? No. Yeah. Okay. I thought you were going

1304
01:32:35,920 --> 01:32:42,480
right now. Oh, I was going to. Yeah. No. Oh, you need me here? Well, there's the

1305
01:32:40,960 --> 01:32:48,719
leak thing about the video that's coming this weekend. Oh yeah. So, we are going

1306
01:32:46,239 --> 01:32:53,760
to be doing a couple pilots for you guys. Luke's wanted to do a gaming

1307
01:32:50,960 --> 01:33:00,159
centric show forever, basically since he started. Um, and then I have wanted to

1308
01:32:56,880 --> 01:33:03,840
do a toy centric channel ever since I

1309
01:33:00,159 --> 01:33:06,639
never grew up and like toys. So, we are

1310
01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:09,440
have each produced a pilot episode and we're going to create a thread on the

1311
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:14,239
line of tech tips forum. So, stay tuned for this. I think the video is going to launch Saturday or something. Saturday.

1312
01:33:12,560 --> 01:33:19,360
Saturday, Saturday or Sunday night our time. And uh we'd love for you guys to

1313
01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:23,679
vote and let us know what you think of the concepts, uh which ones you think we

1314
01:33:21,600 --> 01:33:28,800
should pursue, what you guys would like to see changed because it is a ton of

1315
01:33:25,840 --> 01:33:33,440
work to build up a new channel. Techquy is one that I was really certain about.

1316
01:33:30,639 --> 01:33:37,360
Like I I knew that we needed that format that was really concise and well edited,

1317
01:33:35,679 --> 01:33:41,600
but this is going to be completely new territory for us. gaming or toys.

1318
01:33:39,280 --> 01:33:46,080
They're both like they're both geeky just like the tech that we already do,

1319
01:33:43,440 --> 01:33:50,560
but they're they're different. The the voting options, there will be four of

1320
01:33:47,679 --> 01:33:54,400
them. There's uh games only, toys only, mixture, or none. Personally, I think we

1321
01:33:52,800 --> 01:33:57,520
should go with mixture because I actually want to see you're coloring the

1322
01:33:56,400 --> 01:34:02,880
results when you tell them what we think. But I that's the one I hope everyone

1323
01:34:01,040 --> 01:34:06,560
votes for. So, if you're if you're a slick fanboy,

1324
01:34:05,280 --> 01:34:12,159
then I guess you could vote for his option. Well, what's yours? Probably a mixture

1325
01:34:09,679 --> 01:34:16,239
of the two. But I want to know what they think. I

1326
01:34:14,159 --> 01:34:23,000
do, too. Okay. But I'm just saying what one I We can vote. It's a public poll.

1327
01:34:19,199 --> 01:34:23,000
I'm voting for mixture.

1328
01:34:23,120 --> 01:34:28,880
It's only one vote. It's not really going to do things very much. Uh I'm

1329
01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:34,239
mainly going to be announcing the new system, but I'll also brush over those.

1330
01:34:31,199 --> 01:34:36,800
I'm going to go find some stuff. Okay.

1331
01:34:34,239 --> 01:34:40,880
Garage sale after the show. So, bill logs of the week have been a thing that

1332
01:34:38,960 --> 01:34:43,840
haven't existed for a long time. Luckily, that unplugged your headphones

1333
01:34:42,320 --> 01:34:48,719
and not this cable because it's screwed in. Good

1334
01:34:45,880 --> 01:34:51,520
job. Okay. Um, build logs of the week are something that existed for a long

1335
01:34:50,239 --> 01:34:55,440
time and then kind of disappeared. I've had a lot of people ask me about that.

1336
01:34:53,440 --> 01:34:59,440
Uh, the reason why was when the forum first started, there honestly wasn't a

1337
01:34:58,080 --> 01:35:05,920
ton of people around. There was a lot of people, but not nearly the amount of numbers that there is now. And it was

1338
01:35:03,199 --> 01:35:11,280
fairly easy for me to manage going through every single build blog posted

1339
01:35:08,080 --> 01:35:13,600
in a week and literally rank them

1340
01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:18,000
internally in an Excel sheet, giving them like letter grades and then going

1341
01:35:15,840 --> 01:35:22,880
through the ones that got A's at the end and then shuffling down to two and doing

1342
01:35:20,239 --> 01:35:26,800
all of that footwork. That was possible at the beginning. It's not really

1343
01:35:24,560 --> 01:35:30,239
possible now. I don't have the time to do it. It's way too difficult. And near

1344
01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:34,960
the end there when we were still doing build blogs of the week, every single

1345
01:35:32,880 --> 01:35:38,159
week I got tons of messages saying, "How did this one not make it? It's so much

1346
01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:42,880
better." Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. And I'm like, "Okay, well, it

1347
01:35:41,280 --> 01:35:46,880
maybe should have made it in as a third one. I've done three because there's too

1348
01:35:44,960 --> 01:35:52,400
many that were awesome before or something like that." And it's just like

1349
01:35:48,560 --> 01:35:54,400
I didn't see it. it it came up on Friday

1350
01:35:52,400 --> 01:35:57,280
or it was on the second page when I was looking and I didn't make it there or it

1351
01:35:55,760 --> 01:36:00,960
bounced around while I was looking and I missed it or something and that was

1352
01:35:59,040 --> 01:36:04,719
happening way too much and it just became way too ridiculous. So, I dropped

1353
01:36:02,960 --> 01:36:10,000
support for it because it was not able to do it anymore and left it pending on

1354
01:36:07,199 --> 01:36:13,600
the we need a better option for this stance. Now, we do have a better option

1355
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:18,159
for it, but it's going to take a lot of editing to the website. And we're

1356
01:36:15,280 --> 01:36:22,000
actually waiting for the next version of Envision Power Services software suite,

1357
01:36:20,320 --> 01:36:25,199
which is what we're using, to come out of beta and then maybe get an update or

1358
01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:28,560
two before we adopt it because we're done with forum software betas. Oh my

1359
01:36:27,199 --> 01:36:32,080
god, we're done with forum software betas. Um, so we're waiting waiting for

1360
01:36:30,719 --> 01:36:35,040
that to happen because tons of things are going to change then and then once

1361
01:36:33,760 --> 01:36:40,000
that happens, we're going to release the new system which will be very nice and elegant and all that kind of stuff. But

1362
01:36:38,159 --> 01:36:44,239
as a standin for now, what we're going to do is we're going to have it set up

1363
01:36:42,480 --> 01:36:47,920
so that your submission, so your completed build log, not your build log

1364
01:36:46,159 --> 01:36:53,360
in progress, your completed build log has to be completed and submitted in the

1365
01:36:51,040 --> 01:36:58,080
week before voting, not the week during voting. Um, and your submission has to

1366
01:36:56,159 --> 01:37:02,159
be up to a maximum of 200 words. You can have a little description right up, one

1367
01:36:59,760 --> 01:37:06,960
picture, and a link to your thread. Um, after submitting all of these things,

1368
01:37:05,199 --> 01:37:09,760
uh, that will be in one pinned thread. There will be another pinned thread of

1369
01:37:08,239 --> 01:37:13,679
voting. So after submitting all these things, I'll g gather up everyone's

1370
01:37:11,840 --> 01:37:17,920
submissions and put them in a voting thread. So everyone will get their little blurb, which will be their one

1371
01:37:16,080 --> 01:37:21,360
picture, their 200word maximum description, and a link to their thread.

1372
01:37:19,840 --> 01:37:25,280
Um, so you can kind of see a picture of the idea of it. Go to their thread to see more information, to see their

1373
01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:29,920
description of their computer, which is very likely just going to be components, but we'll see what people do with that.

1374
01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:34,560
And then there will be a poll and you can vote and the top two voted systems

1375
01:37:32,560 --> 01:37:38,080
uh unless it's like a off by one situation where I might include three or

1376
01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:42,760
something like that will get through and then we'll talk about those on the way show. So that's how that's actually

1377
01:37:40,639 --> 01:37:48,080
going to work. Um if I go through here but that being

1378
01:37:46,239 --> 01:37:52,800
said, you know how many people used to complain when I would stall for time in

1379
01:37:50,080 --> 01:37:56,320
the middle of an unboxing by saying and say it was unprofessional. Really? Yeah.

1380
01:37:54,960 --> 01:38:02,639
I never cared. I just I noticed you doing it and I'm just wondering if it's something you've always done or if it's

1381
01:37:58,880 --> 01:38:04,159
something you picked up. I don't know. I

1382
01:38:02,639 --> 01:38:08,159
think I've always done that. I'm sorry I interrupted. Go ahead. No, no, it's fine. I I think I've always done that.

1383
01:38:06,719 --> 01:38:14,000
I'm not really sure though. You're logged in as Lionus Tech. Oh, yay. It's

1384
01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:21,360
not showing. Um that's weird. Can you log in as the other person? Yeah, sure.

1385
01:38:17,040 --> 01:38:23,119
Lionus when? Is there anything the talk?

1386
01:38:21,360 --> 01:38:27,920
Yeah, I think I'm just gonna I'm think I'm going to ditch the talk. It just

1387
01:38:25,600 --> 01:38:32,639
didn't impress me that much. It's not gonna help you sell it. That's fine. I

1388
01:38:31,199 --> 01:38:37,360
don't want people I don't want people like paying an unfair amount for anything. That's true. Well, yeah. It's

1389
01:38:35,520 --> 01:38:42,480
all going to be super underpriced. Yeah. The Sentinel. The idea here is that I

1390
01:38:40,480 --> 01:38:45,520
want people to be getting a deal and I want us to have a slush fund so that we

1391
01:38:44,159 --> 01:38:49,119
can buy stuff that we otherwise couldn't review. Like stuff for the toys channel

1392
01:38:47,199 --> 01:38:53,360
cuz we've done some of that already and the toys channel is going to have no

1393
01:38:50,719 --> 01:38:58,600
funding whatsoever out of the gate. So, that'll help a lot for that. Um, but

1394
01:38:56,080 --> 01:39:04,400
like I I right I had to buy um the Pebble Steel

1395
01:39:02,400 --> 01:39:08,560
that I have coming. I wasn't I wasn't seated a review unit. Yeah. Um I had to

1396
01:39:06,960 --> 01:39:14,080
I have a couple Kickstarter things that are still coming that I had to buy. Um I

1397
01:39:11,040 --> 01:39:15,280
had to buy that that one toy thing. Um

1398
01:39:14,080 --> 01:39:19,080
Kickstarter things that are still coming. It's it's so My dad will call me

1399
01:39:17,199 --> 01:39:24,480
every once in a while and just be like, "There's a package here for you." I'm

1400
01:39:21,840 --> 01:39:24,480
just like

1401
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:32,239
what what is it? I haven't ordered anything. And he's like, uh, it says

1402
01:39:30,400 --> 01:39:36,080
whatever the heck on it. And I'm just like, I have no idea what that is. Cuz

1403
01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:40,239
it's usually from like some random fulfillment center. Yeah. It's like, uh,

1404
01:39:38,639 --> 01:39:43,840
okay. I'll be over in a little bit. Go over and pick it up. I'm like, oh, I

1405
01:39:41,840 --> 01:39:47,719
bought this on Kickstarter like over a year ago.

1406
01:39:45,679 --> 01:39:51,760
There you go. Okay then. Oh, man. It's kind of fun

1407
01:39:50,159 --> 01:39:57,280
receiving like random presents that I've forgotten about though. Oh, Kickstarter.

1408
01:39:55,520 --> 01:40:01,920
Or there's the guy that made the What? No, that's me again. Okay. I don't know

1409
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:05,679
what we can do about that. Okay. Either way, everyone knows the new process

1410
01:40:03,280 --> 01:40:09,280
that's going to come out. Okay. Um I guess I'll actually go over these in the

1411
01:40:07,199 --> 01:40:12,239
afterparty next time. This time, I guess. Um because last week I was like,

1412
01:40:10,960 --> 01:40:16,880
"Oh, they should be in the actual show." But if we can't do it for whatever reason, then oh well. Okay. But yeah,

1413
01:40:15,760 --> 01:40:21,840
everyone knows the new system that's coming. So, I will be putting up that

1414
01:40:19,600 --> 01:40:26,880
thread for people to put their suggest or submissions in. I want the person

1415
01:40:23,760 --> 01:40:28,080
that actually made the build to actually

1416
01:40:26,880 --> 01:40:34,639
submit their own thing. If you're submitting for someone else, please don't. No, I'm just going to not take

1417
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:37,440
it. Um, so yeah, we'll I'll put that thread up later tonight and then we can

1418
01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:40,639
start voting for next week. So, this is disappointing because it looks like I've

1419
01:40:39,119 --> 01:40:46,239
I forgot to bring my charger today and it looks like I've only got 11 minutes left on my notebook. Um, but I think

1420
01:40:44,880 --> 01:40:51,520
that's pretty much it for the official show. So guys, uh, I'll be back with a

1421
01:40:49,600 --> 01:40:56,159
QVC stuff. I've decided that I'm just going to like lower prices until someone

1422
01:40:53,920 --> 01:40:59,600
buys it because I have to get rid of this stuff. We have no space. We're out

1423
01:40:57,840 --> 01:41:03,840
of room. Okay, I'm not leaving then. Oh, all

1424
01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:07,080
right. Okay, guys. So, stay tuned. We'll be right back.

1425
01:41:31,199 --> 01:41:39,080
I don't know where it is. I'll try to find it. Don't do that one first. They

1426
01:41:35,760 --> 01:41:39,080
can hear you.
