WEBVTT

00:00:01.520 --> 00:00:08.880
All right, and we're live this time with

00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:11.360
my screen sharing working and no blue

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:15.360
screens. And no blue screen. You know what's interesting? This will be a good

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:21.920
uh very early show discussion is someone told me when we ended the show last week

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:23.920
and then like popped right back back in.

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

00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:34.239
do the first 30 seconds of our show, it actually gets cut off because the way

00:00:32.239 --> 00:00:38.800
that Twitch integrates ads is they just put it over top of the content, whereas

00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:43.520
YouTube has a different approach that I'm used to. So, I thought that was

00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:47.360
interesting. So, that means no one will see this until it's uploaded in the

00:00:44.800 --> 00:00:50.879
archive. Yeah, it's cool. They'll never know it was there. We could do anything.

00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:56.559
I mean, except that the other thousands of people will see it. So, yeah, there's

00:00:53.440 --> 00:00:58.079
that. Someone says no sound. Yes, there

00:00:56.559 --> 00:01:04.080
is. Um, yes, there is. I'm monitoring. Well,

00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:06.560
yeah. Okay. No, there is sound. Cuz I was going to say, remember in the

00:01:04.960 --> 00:01:10.880
recording we did, there was no sound. That was the whole problem. True. There

00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:17.040
wasn't. But the levels are all going and the monitoring is working. So, way to

00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:19.360
troll us. We love you guys so much. So,

00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:24.560
very much. All right. So, so let's kick off the

00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:29.439
show with Oh, right. No. Yes. Wait. What are our topics? Right. Razer has the new

00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:33.040
Blade 14, which is an allnew version of the original Blade 14 that takes

00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:37.200
everything that I thought was shite about the original one and improves it

00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:42.079
to the point where, and this you know what, Min, their their CEO, backed me

00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:46.399
into a corner on this one because at CES, he made me promise that if they

00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:51.360
fixed everything I complained about about the original Blade 14 that I would

00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:54.799
go on camera with a revised model and say that it's the perfect notebook. And

00:01:53.200 --> 00:02:00.079
I was like, if you guys can fix everything I complained about, then I

00:01:56.399 --> 00:02:02.719
will. And they did. So that's going to

00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:07.360
be that's going to be awkward. Um, what else we got this week? Awkward,

00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:09.599
actually. PEL is a new wireless standard

00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:13.760
that looks to replace those monolithic cell phone towers with something that's

00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:18.560
smaller, easier to install, but would require many more of them, but could

00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:20.480
potentially give us much better speeds.

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:25.200
Uh then we have Google is now going to be encrypting your searches and more on

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:30.160
that and then the fact that a thing called popcorn time existed for a very

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:36.440
short period of time and everything entailing that. All right, so let's uh

00:02:32.959 --> 00:02:36.440
get this rolling.

00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:01.200
And our sponsors today, Squarespace, the

00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:09.200
easy way to have a beautiful website for yourself or for someone else, as well as

00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:10.280
Hotspot Shield, so you can get 20% off

00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:15.760
your elite subscription. Slick threw me off

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.

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:21.840
Um, yeah, because people were saying audio is echoing. So, I thought that

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

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:33.760
Hotspot Shield, you can get 20% off elite pricing with offer code Linus, and

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,

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:42.640
especially when you get that 20% off using our offer code. And yes, it's the

00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:48.200
old intro. Why is the WAN Show early? That is an excellent question and let me

00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:53.920
uh go ahead and direct your attention

00:03:48.200 --> 00:03:56.080
to daylight savings time is stupid. So

00:03:53.920 --> 00:04:01.200
if you Google daylight savings time is stupid and uh it'll come up with

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

00:04:03.519 --> 00:04:10.239
reasons that it needs to end forever. Daylight savings time is a thing in some

00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:15.599
parts of North America, not even all of them, which I was baffled to discover

00:04:12.720 --> 00:04:18.639
when I was a kid. Yeah, like I actually recently discovered that. I thought

00:04:16.880 --> 00:04:23.280
daylight savings time was literally a worldwide thing. No. And then like

00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:28.000
fairly recently, I was like, what? It's some parts of North America, even within

00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:32.080
Canada, there are provinces that do not use daylight savings time. So confusing.

00:04:29.840 --> 00:04:37.919
So every 6 months the clocks jump forward an hour or back an hour in order

00:04:34.880 --> 00:04:39.919
to in the spring give us more usable

00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:45.600
daylight during the day which is a factor when everyone's working outside

00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:49.120
in the fields and less of an issue in

00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:50.639
the modern age. So that is that is why

00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:56.320
the show is a little bit you could just shift your like sleep cycle. Yeah, you

00:04:54.400 --> 00:05:00.720
could do that. Yeah. So companies could have their own thing, but there's no

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

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

00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:12.160
farmers get up early. Exactly.

00:05:10.400 --> 00:05:15.600
You don't need to change the time for that.

00:05:13.840 --> 00:05:19.360
Doesn't Doesn't the rooster crow at a certain time depending on the sun, no

00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:23.440
matter what time the clock says? That's my understanding. Although if there are

00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:27.360
any farmers watching, we would love to hear your thoughts on rooster crowing.

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

00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:36.000
don't know. All right. So, our better than Bieber segment today is

00:05:34.080 --> 00:05:42.080
significantly better than Bieber because anything in outer space is automatically

00:05:38.960 --> 00:05:45.360
better than Bieber. It is the 80th

00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:46.639
birthday of Yuri Gargaren. I'm not 100%

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,

00:05:49.520 --> 00:05:56.720
because we're so Americanized up here, the only thing we know is like American

00:05:53.600 --> 00:06:00.000
heroes and celebrities. But it is his

00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:04.600
80th birthday and he was the first man

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:07.840
in space. So congratulations, Yuri.

00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:11.840
Congratulations, human race. What a big

00:06:07.840 --> 00:06:13.919
deal that was. So that was uh March 9th.

00:06:11.840 --> 00:06:19.240
That was 5 days ago. So he went into space for a

00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:22.080
108minute flight on April 12th,

00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:27.919
1961. He was born into a poor family March 9th, 1934. In 1955, he was called

00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:33.759
up for military service and sent to study aviation in Orinberg. And then on

00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:36.880
December 9th, 1959, he applied to join a

00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:38.880
squad for cosminaut candidates. How cool

00:06:36.880 --> 00:06:42.080
would that be? Actually really cool. First man in space. I always wanted to

00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:45.759
be an astronaut. Then I was like, "Wow, I'm really not intelligent enough for

00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:49.039
this." After his flight, he was never allowed to fly into space again.

00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:54.880
Something he dreamt of. And he was actually killed in a MiG 15 UTI crash

00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:57.840
near the town of Kerach. Sorry, I don't know how to pronounce that either. You

00:06:56.080 --> 00:07:01.680
weren't even I saw that coming and I was like, "Oh no."

00:06:59.919 --> 00:07:05.960
So that was on a routine training flight, but he would have been 80.

00:07:04.080 --> 00:07:10.319
That's how. Isn't that cool? That's actually

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

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

00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:21.919
rant. And it's better than Bieber in general. Yeah, exactly. I mean, so is

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

00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:30.800
Linus Tech Tips t-shirt today. You wore it yesterday. I have my holy balls one.

00:07:28.479 --> 00:07:34.880
Yeah. Oh, bummer. All right, so let's move into our first real news item of

00:07:32.880 --> 00:07:43.199
the week. The original poster for this is DM012 onlineus techtips.com and Amazon

00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:45.599
Prime. It's official. The cost is going

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

00:07:47.599 --> 00:07:53.440
one more year at your old rates, which I actually think is pretty generous.

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

00:07:55.360 --> 00:08:00.960
we first reported on it a few weeks back, um I thought they were just going

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

00:08:03.599 --> 00:08:09.199
everyone else on the planet does their rate increases.

00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:14.639
Yeah. But no, they I think they took a very consumerfriendly approach to it. So here

00:08:12.960 --> 00:08:19.680
we've got someone posting their letter. This is DM012's post. Um so hey, you

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,

00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:30.160
I mean the guy's got like like 15 months

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

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

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

00:08:41.839 --> 00:08:47.120
just saying like there could be students that are older than you. Actually there

00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:51.440
is students. Yeah. 100%. Students of life or students at school. Did you know

00:08:49.760 --> 00:08:56.880
that in BC actually I don't know. Did you know this um post-secary education

00:08:53.680 --> 00:08:58.800
is free for seniors? What? No. Yeah. You

00:08:56.880 --> 00:09:02.560
can just go take classes at university at like UBC. What? Is that like a

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

00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:12.880
talking about like her retirement plan and she's like, "Yeah, you know, well, I

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

00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:21.440
university and then I started teaching in a school and then I'm going to retire

00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:25.519
and go back to school." Like, mama, I love you, but I would go for

00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:28.480
certain classes if they were free and I was retired. I definitely go for

00:09:26.880 --> 00:09:33.040
certain. So there you go. Very few people take advantage of it. Um so

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

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

00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:45.600
like $40. $100 a year. I don't know.

00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:49.920
What do you think? I'm still not going to get Prime because Amazon.ca is

00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:53.279
terrible. Okay. If you were in the US, would you pay $100 a year for Prime?

00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:58.080
Probably. When you consider that you get instant video, um, when you consider

00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:01.200
that you get free shipping, when you consider there's it's it's free

00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:04.560
shipping, right? And the Kindle loaning library, lending library, and I would

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

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

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

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

00:10:20.880 --> 00:10:26.399
launching some kind of a music service. They already have that and that would

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

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

00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:38.480
that they're going to have a streaming service and then that might be bundled

00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:41.279
with Prime as well. Nobody really knows what's going on. You know why I knew

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

00:10:43.760 --> 00:10:49.600
was like, I should buy my music because I'm getting frustrated on trying to

00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:53.120
listen to YouTube albums of people's music because ads will play while I'm

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

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,

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

00:11:01.839 --> 00:11:08.560
possible to buy digital version of what I wanted to buy because I wanted to buy

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

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

00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:20.240
get it from Amazon.ca for what I'm guessing is like two bucks more or

00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:23.480
something. Go there. No MP3 version. MP3 downloaded not supported in Canada."

00:11:22.160 --> 00:11:28.480
It's like, "What?" I have to go buy a music CD from

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

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

00:11:36.160 --> 00:11:42.800
exist anymore. But that was probably the last place I actually bought a CD. And

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

00:11:44.640 --> 00:11:51.279
business model was selling CDs and it's dead. Oh my goodness. Did you try

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

00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:59.760
computer. It's a big piece of garbage,

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

00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:08.079
for some stupid obscure thing like at some Christian band or something and I

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

00:12:09.920 --> 00:12:19.519
get this like nope iTunes nope that's

00:12:14.920 --> 00:12:23.680
it. So, speaking of the difficulties

00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:26.720
that exist with legitimately obtaining

00:12:23.680 --> 00:12:28.000
legitimate content, let's move into what

00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:34.399
I think is going to be one of our biggest topics this week, and that is

00:12:30.880 --> 00:12:36.560
Popcorn Time. So, this is a service that

00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:43.519
launched. It launched this week, right? This was fast. This was really fast. So,

00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:45.680
it launched like days ago. And the idea

00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:50.240
was, I think, for it to be used for legitimate things, but let's be honest

00:12:47.760 --> 00:12:53.600
with ourselves, that was that was not even if they didn't have the intent for

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

00:12:55.120 --> 00:13:02.959
piracy immediately. So, the idea was that it was kind of like a Netflix for

00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:04.800
pirates and it was going to allow the

00:13:02.959 --> 00:13:11.519
Bit Torrent protocol. So, that's peer-to-peer sharing to let people

00:13:08.040 --> 00:13:13.279
stream movies and TV shows and videos.

00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:17.839
So, it had you can see what the interface was because it already doesn't

00:13:15.839 --> 00:13:22.560
exist anymore, but you can see what the interface was. You could browse by

00:13:20.079 --> 00:13:27.519
category with thumbnails. And the idea was that unlike traditional Bit Torrent

00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:31.120
clients, which allowed the user Oh, yeah. This article was submitted by Top

00:13:28.959 --> 00:13:35.200
War Gamer on the forum. Thank you. Um, the idea was that unlike traditional Bit

00:13:32.880 --> 00:13:41.040
Torrent clients where you can specify a seed ratio or a maximum seeding speed,

00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:44.639
the way that this worked was that once you committed you were going to watch

00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:49.519
that movie, it would store it on your computer and you would automatically

00:13:46.800 --> 00:13:54.399
seed it until you actually rebooted at which time all the associated files

00:13:52.160 --> 00:13:57.920
would be wiped from your computer. So, as long as something was reasonably

00:13:56.160 --> 00:14:02.000
popular and up to-date and people were watching it, it would be available on

00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:08.639
the service and it would be streamed quickly and reliably. And actually

00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:10.959
because it wouldn't rely on Netflix's

00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:17.720
constant struggle with the internet service providers to allow their service

00:14:13.920 --> 00:14:19.519
to be closer to their users because it's

00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:22.000
peer-to-peer. You could actually be streaming it from your next door

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.

00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:30.240
They have to have watched and not have restarted their computer yet. That's

00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:33.519
right. Which would be quite common. But the idea is that you could be very close

00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:40.199
to where the content is being streamed from as a content delivery platform.

00:14:36.160 --> 00:14:40.199
It's absolutely brilliant.

00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:48.800
But if you go over to uh getpopcorn

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

00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:56.399
never meant to be. Um it says goodbye.

00:14:54.959 --> 00:15:00.880
You know, we started this to challenge ourselves. They thank the community for

00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:05.760
translating it into 32 languages, some of which they had never even heard of. I

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

00:15:07.680 --> 00:15:13.920
wasn't. Um so they they thanked the community for helping them translate it.

00:15:11.839 --> 00:15:19.120
They they basically said, "Look, we checked like four times that what we're

00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:23.839
doing is legal in much the same way that the Bit Torrent platform and Bit Torrent

00:15:21.680 --> 00:15:26.800
clients are legal because they're not specifically hosting any pirated

00:15:25.760 --> 00:15:32.839
content. Um but they basically went look um

00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:38.800
there's an industry here that is established and they don't like what

00:15:35.760 --> 00:15:41.120
we're coming in and doing and whether

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

00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:49.519
we're going to be bearing a burden that no one should have to bear um

00:15:46.680 --> 00:15:55.680
monetarily. And so I mean even even the stress I mean people have ended up in

00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:57.839
jail over u you know rulings that come

00:15:55.680 --> 00:16:02.240
from judges that don't necessarily even understand the issues involved and and

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

00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:11.480
desists from absolutely everybody? I mean these guys were getting covered by

00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:16.079
everyone. It was a huge Techrunch, Time magazine, RS Technica, Washington Post,

00:16:13.839 --> 00:16:20.800
Huffington Post, Yahoo Finance, Gizmodo, everyone was covering these guys. Us, we

00:16:18.880 --> 00:16:23.360
were covering these guys. I mean, as soon as this popped up on the form, I

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.

00:16:27.160 --> 00:16:34.000
Um, but they basically went, "Look, we

00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:39.199
created this not because we were trying to do something illegal or pirate

00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:44.639
content, but because we really feel like the distribution platform for content is

00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:48.800
fundamentally broken." And one of the most interesting things in their letter,

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,

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

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

00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:08.640
that the movie industry has way too many ridiculous restrictions on way too many

00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:13.199
markets. And this is word for word. Take Argentina for example, and this blew me

00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:18.959
away. streaming providers seem to believe that there's something about

00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:21.520
Mary is a recent movie. That movie would

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

00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:32.799
were not in the US. It's everywhere else. Popcorn Time got installed in

00:17:29.600 --> 00:17:34.720
every single country on Earth, including

00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:40.880
two that don't have any official internet access.

00:17:37.760 --> 00:17:42.720
That blows me away because what they

00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:48.400
were doing, even if it did enable piracy, which come on guys, we can't

00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:53.679
have this stupid argument anymore. It's wrong to steal things. And you can argue

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

00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:01.600
their work that they did. And you can argue about whether the publisher

00:17:59.760 --> 00:18:06.720
deserved the money or the actor deserved the money or whoever deserved the money.

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,

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

00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:19.120
by choice. And if someone else didn't choose to work for free, you have to

00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:22.960
respect that. That's their right. I tried to buy the Arctic Monkeys album.

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

00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:30.240
without paying the ex without paying more than the cost of the album in

00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:33.200
shipping. Sorry, that's a that's an option I found. Oh, and guys, Twitter

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

00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:43.360
weren't setting out to create a piracy platform, what they were doing was

00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:47.760
amazing because it was going to level the field. That's the point of the

00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:53.120
internet is that we should all have access to this stuff. And you know what?

00:18:49.919 --> 00:18:57.520
Screw geographical restrictions. Aside

00:18:53.120 --> 00:18:59.840
from a PAL or NTSC format, why are we

00:18:57.520 --> 00:19:05.200
country locked? Why can we only use this phone in that country or play this game

00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:09.760
in that country? It's absurd. And the fact that we have the technology now to

00:19:07.600 --> 00:19:15.559
enable us to not deal with that crap anymore

00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:17.160
is frustrating.

00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:21.919
Any kind though. We had a debate before the

00:19:19.520 --> 00:19:25.600
show that which you did not carry a which you did not carry into the show.

00:19:23.919 --> 00:19:31.520
Oh, what was our debate again? You were saying that they were obviously creating

00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:32.960
a pirating platform. They were, but they

00:19:31.520 --> 00:19:37.280
did it with all good intentions. During my thing, I said, "Even if they

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

00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:47.840
Pirate Babing brings in a year? You monetize a piracy platform and manage to

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

00:19:49.280 --> 00:19:55.760
ISO hunt guy. Um ISO hunt. Especially when you go the direction that Pirate

00:19:54.080 --> 00:19:59.440
Bay has gone with their ads, which they're just like, "Yeah, we're not

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

00:20:01.600 --> 00:20:09.280
boobies on our site or something like that. Um it's like I feel real awkward

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

00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:15.600
blah blah blah blah blah." than showing anyone and explaining the whole system

00:20:13.840 --> 00:20:19.440
to anyone because I'm like, "Yeah, there's tits all over the place." Yeah,

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

00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:28.240
the iso hunt guy paid 110 million or

00:20:25.840 --> 00:20:35.440
something like that. Yeah, 110 million. So, okay, think about this. They had to

00:20:31.919 --> 00:20:38.880
think that he had 110 million. Like the

00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:41.280
am I hunt I think was number four. Not

00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:45.440
even not even one of the top guns. Like Pirate Bay is bringing in some serious

00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:50.400
money. So if it wasn't in the back of their minds somewhere that they wanted

00:20:47.919 --> 00:20:55.200
to drive massive adoption and we've had this conversation, piracy drives a

00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:58.799
platform. I personally believe that piracy is a big part of the reason that

00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:03.919
Android is so strong. I was going to say Windows and Windows for that matter as

00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:05.760
well. Piracy drives platform adoption.

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

00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:11.679
content. That's true. But you can tell that they didn't even though it occurred

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

00:21:15.280 --> 00:21:21.280
did because they shut down so fast. There's no way they couldn't have pushed

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

00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:28.640
scenes over there. That's true. For all I know, they could be selling the tech

00:21:26.159 --> 00:21:34.480
to the pirate bay. The Wow. So that would be so smart

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

00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:44.480
being who they are could just build it themselves or whatever just be like like

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

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

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

00:21:54.960 --> 00:22:04.919
the internet somewhere. stage two when we see like Forbes and Yahoo Finance

00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:08.320
source code for Popcorn Time leaked.

00:22:04.919 --> 00:22:11.600
So, there's a lot of places this can go,

00:22:08.320 --> 00:22:14.159
but um Popcorn Time obviously doesn't

00:22:11.600 --> 00:22:18.000
intend to to keep I mean, if that's a legitimate video platform, I would have

00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:23.440
loved to see something like this. I mean, I love YouTube and I love Twitch,

00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:25.760
but they will always have the cost and

00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:28.720
logistical difficulties associated with centralized hosting. Well, people have

00:22:27.360 --> 00:22:34.240
been talking about the torrent version of Twitch for a little while now. Oh, of

00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:37.440
like torrent streaming. Torrent streaming in general. Uh, it's not a

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

00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:47.520
wouldn't necessarily even need certain backbones in place. Tell me this though,

00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:51.919
what would you rather do? Would you rather pay a monthly subscription for

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

00:22:53.200 --> 00:23:00.400
saying which would you rather do? Or would you rather use a service like

00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:02.720
Popcorn Time that mandates that you have

00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:06.720
to use your uplink to upload videos? Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. That

00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:09.760
mandates that you have to utilize your bandwidth to support the rest of the

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

00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:18.640
connection anyway. Uh, I don't know. Maybe Twitch, I'm not sure. But the

00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:23.919
reason why the torrenting streaming thing actually came out was the Venezuel

00:23:21.600 --> 00:23:27.120
Venezuela riots. Remember, I actually did talk about this very shortly on the

00:23:25.520 --> 00:23:32.320
show because people are talking if you could get one slow pipe out, right? And

00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:35.200
just stream it to one person and just barely stream it and then that person

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

00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:42.000
stream information like that out. So maybe it's not as widely used, right, as

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

00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:50.799
goes on. Um, but having it available would be really cool as well. And

00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:56.480
another thing that ties into your your increased bandwidth side of that two

00:23:53.600 --> 00:24:00.799
option thing is the Time Warner bandwidth thing that's coming out. Yes,

00:23:58.799 --> 00:24:04.240
that was interesting. So, okay, you know what? Let's do remember that we're doing

00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:07.600
that topic next because I think that's uh that that ties in really well. But

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

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

00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:18.679
already

00:24:18.679 --> 00:24:24.640
available. Uploaded four hours

00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:29.360
ago, which is right when they closed, isn't it? Oh, man. That's classic. They

00:24:27.760 --> 00:24:35.039
closed a couple hours ago. That's interesting. It's like close leak. Bye.

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?

00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:46.320
You can't be more wrong. I think piracy helps artists get their music heard.

00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:49.440
It's not all bad. If the artist believed

00:24:46.320 --> 00:24:52.640
in free music and you look and some of

00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:55.360
them do. Weird Al Yanovic very famously

00:24:52.640 --> 00:25:00.880
released for free on a dedicated website for it a song called Don't Download This

00:24:57.600 --> 00:25:04.159
Song that basically just makes fun of

00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:07.360
the MPAA and the RAIAA. It's just like

00:25:04.159 --> 00:25:10.000
and makes fun and like just parodies the

00:25:07.360 --> 00:25:15.760
idea that grandmothers are getting are getting sued for pirating music and some

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

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

00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:30.880
different way he doesn't have them available for free but publicly says buy

00:25:27.840 --> 00:25:34.080
it give it to everybody yeah and that's

00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:36.080
fine too but that's his Right. If you

00:25:34.080 --> 00:25:39.360
create the content, it is your right to decide how people will use it. And you

00:25:37.840 --> 00:25:42.960
can think people are stupid for doing whatever they are doing as much as you

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

00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:51.360
question. It softens the uh the presses when you bottom out the keys in theory

00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:54.799
and makes it a little bit quieter in theory. Um, as for the ISO hunt guy,

00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:58.559
yeah, he was from Vancouver, my hometown. It's not stealing if you don't

00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:01.760
get caught. Stealing. It's still stealing. You're not a You can argue

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,

00:26:03.600 --> 00:26:09.559
best example is Game of Thrones, the most pirated series there is no legit

00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:14.960
way to watch in Europe. And that is a fantastic example of a completely missed

00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:19.039
opportunity because the content providers, the local governments,

00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:24.320
whoever it is, can't figure out how to just freaking work together and cash in

00:26:22.159 --> 00:26:27.679
all that money because people are willing to pay. I could be totally

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

00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:36.640
available in Europe. Are they high?

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

00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:43.520
It's not oranges, but there's some fruit that's grown in California

00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:48.880
predominantly, but it's actually more expensive there than it is here.

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

00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:55.600
see stuff like this get shut down because what they're doing is wrong, but

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

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

00:27:02.679 --> 00:27:09.440
intentions. Like I mean, you know what, a great example is when we do worldwide

00:27:07.520 --> 00:27:15.679
giveaways. You know what? The way we do it isn't really legitimate. And if we

00:27:11.679 --> 00:27:17.120
turn into, you know, um NBC, Linus Media

00:27:15.679 --> 00:27:21.440
Group turns into the next like multinational media conglomerate, we

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

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

00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:37.200
there's local law laws and giveaway laws in many different places which really

00:27:35.120 --> 00:27:41.360
screw with giveaways. We're able to fly under the radar because we're not big

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

00:27:43.279 --> 00:27:49.600
you're not allowed gifting people things. Yeah. or you have to pay 100% of

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

00:27:51.919 --> 00:27:57.360
top of taxes to be able to give someone something. We might as well just send

00:27:55.279 --> 00:28:00.480
you the cash. Like it would be Yeah. At that point in time, it would be

00:27:58.640 --> 00:28:06.480
literally half the cost to just send you money. Yeah. So, yeah, there's lots of

00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:08.320
problems. Georestrictions money. No,

00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:13.120
sometimes georestrictions just result in no money for anyone. That's the problem.

00:28:11.360 --> 00:28:17.600
Um, that page is awesome. You were right, Linus. They have to change region

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,

00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:25.520
Teddy. Feels like the first time. It's really

00:28:23.919 --> 00:28:31.200
hard to sing with your voice in your ear slightly delayed.

00:28:27.600 --> 00:28:32.880
Uh, just embrace iTunes, man. No, I

00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:35.840
don't want to. I might build like, you know, my like secondary computer that I

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.

00:28:39.520 --> 00:28:45.919
Screw you guys. We are not doing the bronze gay Ben statue. I'm sure that

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

00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:52.720
from, they can't charge what they charge and expect to be profitable. Yeah, but

00:28:51.120 --> 00:28:57.279
this is another thing that isn't really the right of the consumer to decide. Um,

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

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

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

00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:15.279
buy it. But you also don't get to watch it or listen to

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

00:29:17.919 --> 00:29:23.600
lower prices. But people refuse to just

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

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

00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:34.320
just like, "Nah, because I won't make that big of a dent." But then hundreds

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

00:29:36.399 --> 00:29:42.399
the same as ad block. If I don't like um

00:29:40.159 --> 00:29:46.559
you know, say for example, an artist, who's that one that was caught with the

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

00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:54.399
thought it was the the guy making the

00:29:51.120 --> 00:29:57.120
Oh, yeah. Uh oh. Apparently, he was

00:29:54.399 --> 00:30:00.480
acquitted. So, allegedly child porn, R. Kelly, whatever. He can be acquitted all

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

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

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

00:30:13.279 --> 00:30:20.080
gonna do what you do. Who's that other stupid guy?

00:30:17.080 --> 00:30:23.200
Um the uh the South Park fish fish

00:30:20.080 --> 00:30:24.799
stickicks one. Uh Kanye. Kanye. Yeah. If

00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:27.279
you don't like Kanye selling a plain white t-shirt for however much he

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

00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:36.320
wrong. I don't remember. I remember it sucked. $120 plain white t-shirt that

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

00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:45.320
away. But people cannot handle that. All right, so back to this. So $500 was a

00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:50.000
lot higher than it actually was. Um, YouTubempp3.org. Okay, that's no idea

00:30:47.679 --> 00:30:54.000
what that is. Not allowed, I believe. Haven't actually used it. Um, about your

00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:57.520
new segment, better than he who must not be named. Never show his face or I

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

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.

00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:10.720
Well, it's Oh, come on. That's completely against the segment. Oh, no.

00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:15.760
Not as the as the segment. Can we just talk about it very briefly? That's

00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:18.000
completely against the whole ideal moral

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

00:31:20.080 --> 00:31:27.279
news. It has to do with him on the show when we have a segment

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

00:31:29.120 --> 00:31:33.440
talking about him all the time. All right, fine. We need to stop. I'm from

00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:38.000
the US, so every time I hear about content restrictions, my jaw drops. Yep.

00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:42.159
Yeah. I mean, even here in Canada, we're relatively sheltered. Um, I refuse to

00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:47.760
use iTunes and Google Music isn't available in the UK, but then you just

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

00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:55.600
able to drive. Like, if

00:31:56.200 --> 00:32:03.440
the h maybe I don't even want to hear from you people about this.

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

00:32:05.360 --> 00:32:12.159
the Time Warner bandwidth cap voluntary thing that no one did because it's dumb.

00:32:10.159 --> 00:32:17.600
Yeah, that was ridiculous. So, we were talking about uh would you rather pay

00:32:14.600 --> 00:32:21.440
for higher bandwidth caps or would you

00:32:17.600 --> 00:32:23.200
rather pay for um where is it? Like to

00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:26.640
use services because someone has to pay at some point for something. So, you're

00:32:25.360 --> 00:32:29.919
either going to be contributing to a peer-to-peer network or you're going to

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

00:32:32.159 --> 00:32:38.640
watching ads or whether it's through um whether it's through just paying for it

00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:44.320
outright. So, here I'll let you cover this one. So, they decided that you can

00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:47.880
save about $60 a year, which is like

00:32:44.320 --> 00:32:51.840
really not that much. time winner. $5 a

00:32:47.880 --> 00:32:55.279
month and have bandwidth caps of 30 GB

00:32:51.840 --> 00:32:58.159
to which less than 1% in the thousands

00:32:55.279 --> 00:33:04.720
of their 11 million customers decided to actually opt in for because it's a very

00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:04.720
terrible thing and you're

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

00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:19.120
Rob Marcus said practically no subscribers took the ISP up on its offer

00:33:15.919 --> 00:33:21.679
for cheaper service. Cheaper service. $5

00:33:19.120 --> 00:33:25.279
a month. Shut up. Give us a halfp price service with a very limited bandwidth.

00:33:23.360 --> 00:33:30.880
Now maybe we're talking. Yeah, exactly. $5 a month. Like you're not winning

00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:33.519
battles there, man. Um, for service with

00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:38.080
a data cap. A data cap. It's 30 gigs for a home internet

00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:41.559
connection. What? Like I just downloaded Titanfall that would have crushed the

00:33:39.679 --> 00:33:45.600
whole cap. What the heck? I don't know. This

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

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

00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:58.399
for games specifically because if you're downloading these like 50 Gigabyte

00:33:56.640 --> 00:34:01.760
games, it took me all freaking night. I I started downloading Titanfall after

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

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

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

00:34:13.520 --> 00:34:20.879
the store and drive back, I could have had the game in 15 minutes, 20 minutes.

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

00:34:25.200 --> 00:34:31.200
30 gig per month cap for half of your

00:34:28.560 --> 00:34:34.960
current rate that you're paying? And I think I already know the answer, but

00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:37.399
whatever. Wow.

00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:43.679
Thank you. I wouldn't

00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:46.879
either. Two people. Two people. Yeah.

00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:48.800
You guys rock on. You rock on all two of

00:34:46.879 --> 00:34:55.200
you. All right. So, we'll go ahead and leave that for a little bit. But

00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:59.359
crushed. So, you know what? This actually looks

00:34:57.359 --> 00:35:04.960
in line with the number of people who actually did it according to Time Warner

00:35:02.040 --> 00:35:08.079
Cable. Couple percent. They said less than 1%. Did they say less than 1%?

00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:11.359
Yeah, but people are probably trolling as well. So, yeah. Well, considering it

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."

00:35:13.839 --> 00:35:18.880
Yeah. So, it's one of those things where

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

00:35:21.200 --> 00:35:27.359
sorry, but you're but you're you're probably watching this show. Yeah, if

00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:33.760
you're watching this show, your like whole bandwidth is going to get taken up

00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:36.560
from watching Wan's show for a month.

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

00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:46.960
internet is watch this show. They get to

00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:50.160
watch one twoour segment four times a

00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:52.000
month of this show. That's it. And we

00:35:50.160 --> 00:35:57.920
love you guys. You're awesome. Thank you. You like 20 people or whatever it

00:35:54.079 --> 00:36:00.240
is. That's great.

00:35:57.920 --> 00:36:03.760
Oh man. The best part is it's still slow.

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

00:36:05.680 --> 00:36:12.240
half the price is still not that cheap. It's still really slow

00:36:09.720 --> 00:36:18.720
internet and you have this crappy data cap. Or you can be San Antonio and

00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:21.040
possibly be getting Google Fiber. Yeah.

00:36:18.720 --> 00:36:25.480
Okay. Okay. Let's move on to that. Like actually both of these topics the the

00:36:23.520 --> 00:36:31.280
upcoming ones are about how infrastructure it just like needs to get

00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:33.119
better and uh may may just be getting

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.

00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:44.880
So, let's go ahead and pop over to this. So, this is from my San

00:36:41.000 --> 00:36:48.240
Antonio.com. San Antonio city council's

00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:50.320
Google fiber contract. San Antonio, you

00:36:48.240 --> 00:36:54.880
guys are awesome. The people who live there are awesome and Google is awesome.

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

00:36:58.079 --> 00:37:03.520
article. Maybe I'll post it. Post. Okay. Um, read through it and read the quotes

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

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

00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:15.359
he is the biggest fanboy ever. And it's

00:37:13.160 --> 00:37:18.800
hilarious. The whole time he's just like, "Yes, he's saying like, "Win it

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.

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,

00:37:27.440 --> 00:37:32.560
when it's here. It's like, yes. And then

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,

00:37:34.079 --> 00:37:40.640
when when we get this, remember what I just said. When we get this, and I

00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:44.920
believe we will. I would I would like to request a San Antonio themed Google

00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:51.359
homepage. That would be really nice."

00:37:47.560 --> 00:37:53.880
Awesome. Like that's so cool. Oh wow. I

00:37:51.359 --> 00:37:59.200
want this guy on my city council. Me too. Me too. That's fantastic. So good.

00:37:57.760 --> 00:38:06.880
So what else is there about it? I mean there are some challenges. Um right now

00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:12.720
the company or the cityowned CPS Energy

00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:16.480
owns 86% of the telephone polls but AT&T

00:38:12.720 --> 00:38:19.119
owns the other 14%.

00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:23.760
Oh no. Although I do bet you those are in fairly confined areas. And while 14%

00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:27.200
is still very large when you're talking about this kind of stuff, it's probably

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

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

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.

00:38:37.200 --> 00:38:44.079
We haven't said what they are. Oh, for fiber huts. So, they're planning on

00:38:41.119 --> 00:38:48.960
installing 4B 40 fiber huts, which are 12 by 26 foot communication. I would

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

00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:58.880
gigabit in up and down.

00:38:55.280 --> 00:39:01.680
You just want anything click. Yes. So

00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:05.359
good. Sorry. Go ahead. Um, so yeah, 12 x 26 foot communications shelters, which

00:39:03.520 --> 00:39:09.119
are just going to house all of the fiber communications infrastructure that they

00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:12.240
need. They're going to install these in most likely, they don't have pinned

00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:16.000
locations yet, but most likely libraries, fire and police stations and

00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:20.960
other city properties across San Antonio, which I immediately thought

00:39:17.599 --> 00:39:23.040
about. This seems like the setup and

00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:28.240
like windup part of the next Batman movie.

00:39:24.960 --> 00:39:31.680
Google Google this big corporation

00:39:28.240 --> 00:39:34.320
installs these these fiber huts in big

00:39:31.680 --> 00:39:38.960
city buildings and then they collect all the data because um have you read and

00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:41.520
Eric Schmidt is the the Joker or something like that and then Batman has

00:39:40.160 --> 00:39:45.280
to come in and like shut down all these individual huts that are protected by I

00:39:43.520 --> 00:39:48.880
hope Warner Brothers is watching because they're stealing because they might

00:39:47.520 --> 00:39:53.119
actually do this because they're stealing data from because like police

00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:55.920
fire libraries and other city properties. So if they install it at

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

00:39:58.560 --> 00:40:04.240
different things. Oh yeah, totally seems like next Batman movie.

00:40:02.200 --> 00:40:08.079
Fantastic. This just immediately thought of that. And what made me mainly think

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

00:40:10.560 --> 00:40:15.200
the he was spying on police in Bise or

00:40:13.839 --> 00:40:18.880
something like that. I was like because he donated computers. It's like this is

00:40:17.040 --> 00:40:22.000
like Google Fiber except for instead of donating computers, they're just

00:40:20.160 --> 00:40:26.480
installing little structures inside the instead of spying on police, they're

00:40:23.440 --> 00:40:28.400
spying on everyone. Yes, but

00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:32.240
specifically mainly government. This doesn't even necessarily have to be

00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:36.160
Batman. This could be almost anything. This could be pretty much whatever.

00:40:34.160 --> 00:40:39.680
Yeah, you could call the movie like The Biggest Brother, Die Hard. And it

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

00:40:41.839 --> 00:40:47.760
could be about both. the large black man is the one that

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

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

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

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

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

00:41:09.200 --> 00:41:15.359
offend someone. disclaimer. You know, I've I think the last like six WAN shows

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

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

00:41:22.720 --> 00:41:29.680
anyway, was there anything else to say about this? There was, but I don't even

00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:33.680
remember. Um right, so despite the excitement of the city council member,

00:41:31.839 --> 00:41:36.880
which is fantastic. You have to read through the article. Um he said it's

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

00:41:40.400 --> 00:41:44.880
whole bunch of the um polls thing and

00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:48.160
other legal loopholes that they have to go through. It's been approved. They

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

00:41:50.079 --> 00:41:57.280
required paywork for at least two weeks and then they have to get through

00:41:54.119 --> 00:41:59.760
testing and figuring out where all these

00:41:57.280 --> 00:42:02.319
fiber huts actually even should go. Then they have to build them all and then

00:42:01.119 --> 00:42:06.319
they have to run lines to everyone houses and like blah blah blah blah blah. going

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

00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:15.520
in like the middle of nowhere. So freaking awesome. Well, I kind of want

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,

00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:25.839
so this article is from Business Insider. This is supposedly the

00:42:23.280 --> 00:42:32.000
technology that is going to make your phone's internet a thousand times faster

00:42:28.560 --> 00:42:34.400
than 4G. Now, to be clear, guys, a

00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:40.400
thousand times faster than 4G is probably more like network capacity

00:42:37.760 --> 00:42:45.200
because we're a long way away from flash chips that are capable of leveraging

00:42:43.119 --> 00:42:48.000
that kind of throughput. That's what I thought when I first read that. I was

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

00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:55.200
know, 100 gigabit, you know, internet

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

00:42:57.119 --> 00:43:03.839
light based storage in our computers for that to even be a thing. But, um, okay.

00:43:01.520 --> 00:43:08.640
So, what's it called? PEL. PEL. And the idea is getting away from giant, very

00:43:06.640 --> 00:43:12.160
widespread out cell towers so that when you're kind of in between, you're

00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:16.480
running at like a bar or no bars. And the idea is installing these fairly

00:43:14.160 --> 00:43:20.560
small boxes kind of all over the place so that you constantly have really good

00:43:18.079 --> 00:43:24.240
signal. And then the individual boxes will be very powerful, just not as wide

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

00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:31.680
they're all over the place. Um, which has its own complications because now

00:43:29.280 --> 00:43:35.520
instead of having a tower that's kind of away from being in the middle of

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

00:43:39.119 --> 00:43:44.800
freaking everywhere. So, figuring out where they can put it, stuff like that

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

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

00:43:52.160 --> 00:43:59.520
process to get the permits and get it get it built and buy the land and

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

00:44:02.720 --> 00:44:09.680
ever tried to do any kind of project management even something as simple as

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

00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:16.880
but like it's complicated and you have to like go to their parents house and

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

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

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

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

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

00:44:39.880 --> 00:44:46.000
lot than the not necessarily fairly

00:44:43.119 --> 00:44:49.040
hardcores on Time Warner service. So I I don't think our poll is accurate. Yeah,

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

00:44:51.200 --> 00:44:57.200
of uncertainties with the new technology. Um the idea is you could

00:44:55.200 --> 00:45:02.480
combine the signal for many Pwaves to get a full signal at all time. They cost

00:44:59.599 --> 00:45:06.440
less. They're smaller. Um of course they're going to cost less. There will

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

00:45:08.960 --> 00:45:15.599
remains to be seen. It it theoretically will use less power. Although if you're

00:45:12.880 --> 00:45:20.480
running a phone that is natively LTE, you won't see any of the power savings.

00:45:17.280 --> 00:45:23.119
You need a native PEL phone to see the

00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:26.720
power. But LTE phones will work on PEL networks in theory, which is actually

00:45:25.200 --> 00:45:31.680
really cool. So you could take advantage of this. Now, the speed though, not

00:45:29.839 --> 00:45:34.880
necessarily the and the coverage. And the coverage, I mean, especially

00:45:32.880 --> 00:45:39.760
coverage in places where they just can't justify a massive tower project. Yeah.

00:45:37.839 --> 00:45:44.240
Makes a ton of sense. Um actually we have one more infrastructure improvement

00:45:41.680 --> 00:45:52.640
thing here. This is a collaboration between Brazil and the EU that is um

00:45:49.440 --> 00:45:55.319
basically just a direct response to

00:45:52.640 --> 00:45:59.520
spying by the NSA on foreign dignitaries. And this is like spying on

00:45:57.599 --> 00:46:04.480
their allies. And one of the comments in the article, which I just found

00:46:01.119 --> 00:46:08.560
laughable, is that President Obama has

00:46:04.480 --> 00:46:10.280
since banned spying on the, you know,

00:46:08.560 --> 00:46:18.400
uh, spying on close allies. I'm just like, or you could

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

00:46:21.520 --> 00:46:28.480
publicly banned it and it's still totally happening.

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

00:46:29.680 --> 00:46:35.960
thing that I noticed with this article is, hasn't Brazil been flamed recently

00:46:33.680 --> 00:46:41.920
for spying on their residents? Anyways, so this is like, hooray.

00:46:40.319 --> 00:46:47.680
We don't want other people spying on you. Only we get to spy on you,

00:46:44.240 --> 00:46:49.920
citizens. So, it's $185 million project.

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

00:46:53.839 --> 00:46:59.400
going to basically the only existing line right now. So it'll run from hold

00:46:57.920 --> 00:47:04.319
on a second I forget whoever whoever wrote

00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:09.359
this down forgot to say where it actually runs from. Ah there we go.

00:47:05.920 --> 00:47:11.440
Lisbon to forella. And uh the only

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

00:47:13.440 --> 00:47:21.280
communication. So, you know what I mean? Infrastructure upgrades in general, you

00:47:18.880 --> 00:47:27.280
know, is never a bad thing. And it's really interesting to see how quickly

00:47:23.520 --> 00:47:30.400
the US is losing its very tight grip

00:47:27.280 --> 00:47:33.040
over its position as the hub of the

00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:38.160
entire internet. Interesting. Um, what is it? Ukraine is dealing with Russia

00:47:34.720 --> 00:47:40.000
right now. Um, server hosting has been

00:47:38.160 --> 00:47:42.640
hopping out really quickly, right? Okay, so like server hosting for different

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

00:47:45.040 --> 00:47:53.280
states or somewhere like that. None. We've even seen some of them hop

00:47:50.079 --> 00:47:57.040
to Canada. Who hops their server hosting

00:47:53.280 --> 00:47:59.359
to Canada? Yeah, no one. Those people

00:47:57.040 --> 00:48:03.520
apparently not to the states though. Like

00:48:01.760 --> 00:48:06.960
I mean it goes to show you, you know, power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts

00:48:05.359 --> 00:48:10.560
absolutely. Yeah, I know it's been said over and over and over again, but that

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

00:48:12.560 --> 00:48:19.760
can control something, they'll abuse it

00:48:16.560 --> 00:48:22.559
every time. Not necessarily every time.

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

00:48:26.160 --> 00:48:33.359
think everyone is inherently bad except for Lionus. I'm not

00:48:31.200 --> 00:48:37.559
inherently bad. See, there you go. We agreed. Now you're agreeing with me. We

00:48:34.960 --> 00:48:41.280
agreed I was chaotic neutral. Or was I lawful neutral? I

00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:44.960
don't remember. You were chaotic neutral. I was chaotic neutral. Edel

00:48:43.839 --> 00:48:51.599
thought you were lawful neutral. Yeah, Edel figured that I was um Oh, no. I

00:48:48.559 --> 00:48:53.760
think you said I was lawful evil and

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.

00:48:56.880 --> 00:49:04.400
But then I think Edzel figured I was lawful because I operate based on a set

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

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

00:49:11.920 --> 00:49:18.000
your whole piracy stance is a little weird now. My piracy stance is weird.

00:49:15.839 --> 00:49:23.400
Yeah. Yeah. It's probably weird. All right. So Tesla, I still think you're

00:49:19.599 --> 00:49:27.520
lawful evil, was banned in New

00:49:23.400 --> 00:49:29.920
Jersey, not from selling cars, but from

00:49:27.520 --> 00:49:33.760
selling them directly to customers, which is how they sell cars, which is

00:49:31.520 --> 00:49:38.319
how they sell cars. So they've been kind of banned from selling cars. Now, you

00:49:36.079 --> 00:49:40.800
could you could take either stance on this. Okay. Why don't you give the

00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:45.599
overview and then I'm going to kind of jump in and make everyone mad.

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

00:49:48.640 --> 00:49:53.599
up, but essenti Oh, there it is. Um, essentially cars can be sold by

00:49:52.160 --> 00:49:57.599
dealerships. So, there has to be a middleman. Uh, you know how dealerships

00:49:55.680 --> 00:50:03.359
work. It's usually like the guy's name who opened the dealership and then like

00:50:00.160 --> 00:50:04.559
Chrysler or Oh, Shay Chevrolet or big

00:50:03.359 --> 00:50:08.720
thumbs up to anyone who gets that reference. Go ahead.

00:50:06.800 --> 00:50:12.160
Or or or whatever else, right? Like that's often how guard car dealerships

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

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

00:50:20.800 --> 00:50:27.760
in New Jersey. You have to have a dealership, which isn't yours as far as

00:50:25.359 --> 00:50:31.680
I know. Yeah. Like someone else has to open a dealership for your cars and then

00:50:29.599 --> 00:50:36.559
buy them from you essentially. Yeah. Um, so Texas and Arizona have the same law.

00:50:34.079 --> 00:50:40.400
However, New Jersey is been becoming a big hub for luxury cars and Tesla is

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.

00:50:42.960 --> 00:50:49.200
Um Tesla is claiming it's claiming I can

00:50:46.480 --> 00:50:54.559
talk that it is an affront to the very concept of a free market and I

00:50:51.559 --> 00:50:56.960
agree. They also say it isn't just about

00:50:54.559 --> 00:51:03.200
cutting out the middleman. It also wants to give buyers an experience to which I

00:51:00.400 --> 00:51:07.839
would say BS. It is about cutting out the middleman whe like okay well if you

00:51:06.559 --> 00:51:15.119
agree with that then we have nothing to argue about because Tesla's concern here

00:51:11.440 --> 00:51:17.760
is strictly self-interest it has nothing

00:51:15.119 --> 00:51:21.520
to do with a better experience for the customer necessarily I'm sure I'm sure

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

00:51:22.880 --> 00:51:30.640
premier and they can control the whole thing they can charge more well there's

00:51:28.240 --> 00:51:33.440
there's always profit behind the idea but creating a better experience

00:51:31.760 --> 00:51:37.119
experience for your customer creates a premier shopping experience which is

00:51:35.040 --> 00:51:44.040
literally some of the target audience for I mean they have the option okay I

00:51:41.359 --> 00:51:50.720
agree with Tesla that they shouldn't be banned but I think a middle ground might

00:51:47.599 --> 00:51:52.800
have been that New Jersey could say okay

00:51:50.720 --> 00:51:59.520
well then you're going to have to open up um negotiations with x number of

00:51:56.160 --> 00:52:02.240
dealerships per square whatever mileage

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

00:52:03.520 --> 00:52:10.559
reasonable margin structure and all that stuff. And if you can provide a better

00:52:08.559 --> 00:52:14.720
shopping experience your way, then customers will have a free market right

00:52:13.040 --> 00:52:18.079
to choose. I still don't understand why they're banning that though. That still

00:52:16.559 --> 00:52:22.640
doesn't make any sense. That's stupid. Banning makes no sense. Yeah, that's

00:52:20.160 --> 00:52:26.960
But for them to for to but to protect an industry that is very very

00:52:24.800 --> 00:52:31.680
important to the local economy. I understand even if I don't necessarily

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

00:52:34.160 --> 00:52:38.960
an affront to the concept of a free market. Totally agree. The part that I

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.

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

00:52:45.599 --> 00:52:51.599
it isn't just about

00:52:49.119 --> 00:52:55.920
it's very carefully worded. Yes, it is. And yes, it is just about cutting out

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

00:52:58.160 --> 00:53:01.480
just mostly

00:53:02.000 --> 00:53:08.319
I'll pull up Apple as an example here. Apple stores deliver a better experience

00:53:06.960 --> 00:53:12.480
than Best Buy. Have you ever shopped at an Apple store? Uh, I haven't shopped

00:53:11.200 --> 00:53:16.640
there. I've been inside an Apple store though with someone who was shopping.

00:53:14.400 --> 00:53:19.200
I've I've bought stuff there. I have gone through service there. I've gone

00:53:18.079 --> 00:53:25.920
through their service because my girlfriend at the time had to repair iPhone. Okay. Outstanding experience.

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

00:53:27.920 --> 00:53:34.400
helped and it's like very futuristic. The one thing that I did really like is

00:53:32.400 --> 00:53:37.839
that we never got approached by someone in the way that you get approached going

00:53:35.839 --> 00:53:40.319
to Future Shop or for people not in Canada, Best Buy or something like that

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

00:53:44.319 --> 00:53:49.839
was and I was like, "That's an interesting intro. I've worked in retail

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

00:53:52.720 --> 00:53:58.400
little bit about like random stuff. Then he's like, "Is there anything I can help

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

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

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

00:54:07.040 --> 00:54:14.240
service first approach, which I thought was cool. And so if

00:54:10.520 --> 00:54:17.520
Tesla with a service first approach can

00:54:14.240 --> 00:54:19.280
effectively out compete car dealerships,

00:54:17.520 --> 00:54:24.240
then great. But I don't think they should be forced to allow to sell their

00:54:22.079 --> 00:54:27.839
cars through other dealerships. That doesn't that's against the free market

00:54:25.839 --> 00:54:31.040
thing. That is when I said I was being very literal. That's very

00:54:29.359 --> 00:54:34.240
backwards. That is pulling back. That is I didn't

00:54:32.559 --> 00:54:38.400
say that was the right solution though. I said it would be a middle ground. But

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

00:54:39.839 --> 00:54:46.640
ground. There should only be the one side. Sometimes the world is about baby

00:54:43.599 --> 00:54:48.319
steps. And this is baby steps in the

00:54:46.640 --> 00:54:55.200
wrong direction. No, no, no. Okay, hold on. Hold on. Okay. Well, let Okay. So

00:54:51.760 --> 00:54:57.440
right now what exists is a law that you

00:54:55.200 --> 00:55:01.680
may not run your own dealership. Yes. Okay. So you're saying okay. I'm saying

00:54:59.119 --> 00:55:06.079
it's a baby step. I see towards the right direction. And it's better than

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

00:55:08.079 --> 00:55:13.599
backwards. I was applying my logic to before this law existed. You're talking

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

00:55:16.359 --> 00:55:25.760
sense. Uh, it's just like why stop them?

00:55:21.920 --> 00:55:27.680
Because it's it's it's an established

00:55:25.760 --> 00:55:32.480
it's an established part of the local economy and you can talk about how

00:55:30.880 --> 00:55:37.400
that's part of the economy and what kinds of kickbacks exist where and what

00:55:35.200 --> 00:55:41.599
going on, but it's established and it takes baby steps to

00:55:40.319 --> 00:55:49.440
change something. You're not going to be able to walk in and replace VHS with

00:55:46.400 --> 00:55:51.640
digital downloads overnight. It took us

00:55:49.440 --> 00:55:56.480
what, 15 years? That's laws in place stopping for people

00:55:54.319 --> 00:56:01.440
from selling DVDs. No, but there's all kinds of legislative issues associated

00:55:59.200 --> 00:56:05.200
with streaming videos online. And we're still working our way through that. It

00:56:03.200 --> 00:56:09.200
we go through this every time there's a shift in technology that means that

00:56:07.280 --> 00:56:14.079
someone is not making the money that they're used to making. and really like

00:56:11.200 --> 00:56:18.319
making. That's all. But I also wonder if it's not even just the dealerships

00:56:15.680 --> 00:56:22.559
though. Like is this another step from big oil to try and stop electrical cars

00:56:20.400 --> 00:56:26.640
from being sold? I don't know. I mean, everything in the States somehow comes

00:56:24.079 --> 00:56:31.599
back to big oil. Ever since the NSA thing broke, I have not been able to

00:56:29.839 --> 00:56:38.119
just say, "Ah, that's just a conspiracy theory anymore." Yeah, I

00:56:34.680 --> 00:56:42.799
know. It's horrible. Everything sucks.

00:56:38.119 --> 00:56:44.880
Anyways, yeah. On that note, um Verizon

00:56:42.799 --> 00:56:48.240
wants to charge. This was a topic we talked about last week. You know what?

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

00:56:49.599 --> 00:56:57.920
into that. Okay. Let's talk good news. Haswell E and X99 look like the schedule

00:56:56.000 --> 00:57:04.319
has been stepped up. This was posted by Milner Fred and the original article is

00:57:00.799 --> 00:57:08.000
from Kit Guru. And so we're looking at

00:57:04.319 --> 00:57:12.119
potentially a Q2 launch. What's up? Oh

00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:15.760
yeah, a Q2 launch on the LGA

00:57:12.119 --> 00:57:18.240
2011-3 socket. Like really Intel, just

00:57:15.760 --> 00:57:22.960
call it like socket Blackbeard, isn't it? Like I don't know, something cool.

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

00:57:25.040 --> 00:57:31.760
level three cache, quad channel DDR4

00:57:28.480 --> 00:57:34.640
memory, 40 integrated PCI Express 3.0

00:57:31.760 --> 00:57:38.960
lanes. Um, and then I believe the rumor on the street, although I haven't seen

00:57:36.079 --> 00:57:43.640
any kind of um, confirmation of this is that the extreme edition will be an

00:57:41.960 --> 00:57:48.799
octoore finally. So, that's extremely exciting

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

00:57:50.319 --> 00:57:58.319
the highest end K edition? No idea. Okay. Not sure. If they keep with their

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

00:58:00.480 --> 00:58:07.200
the like $600 piece. But going back to

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

00:58:11.280 --> 00:58:18.720
when they first launched a new number of cores and when they first launched quad

00:58:15.760 --> 00:58:22.960
core, Yep. Yep. Quad core was for an entire generation extreme edition only

00:58:21.119 --> 00:58:27.839
and six core was for an entire generation extreme edition only. Yeah.

00:58:25.520 --> 00:58:32.000
So we'll see. So maybe I will be waiting for the next version. Yeah. Because

00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:35.680
remember I was like I might Yeah. Anyways, so very flexible tuning and

00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:39.359
overclocking capabilities are what they're saying. But uh I think that

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

00:58:42.760 --> 00:58:50.640
overclocking ability compared to Haswell and LG 1150. Although I'd love to be

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

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.

00:58:58.240 --> 00:59:04.079
Um no SATA Express, which is an interesting omission. I mean, I would

00:59:02.480 --> 00:59:09.599
love to see an Intel chips. Is there actually anywhere saying no? No. Okay,

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

00:59:11.599 --> 00:59:19.040
Express being implemented um with third-party controllers and then

00:59:15.599 --> 00:59:20.480
utilizing those 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes, but I

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

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

00:59:29.520 --> 00:59:38.559
are okay, but if I can use an Intel LAN controller, an Intel USB controller,

00:59:35.520 --> 00:59:40.240
they just even just the drivers

00:59:38.559 --> 00:59:43.280
I've been so big about drivers lately because I'm testing stuff all the time

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

00:59:46.400 --> 00:59:53.520
was fantastic. It just worked. That's one of the nice thing about having

00:59:50.079 --> 00:59:56.960
native stuff. Uh and other good news,

00:59:53.520 --> 00:59:58.720
Google slashed prices on Google Drive.

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

01:00:01.599 --> 01:00:06.960
of these comparisons were in the news articles but not all of them. My

01:00:04.960 --> 01:00:10.799
favorite one was actually a comparison that I didn't see anywhere else, which

01:00:08.240 --> 01:00:15.920
was comparing to the launch prices for Drive. So, the launch prices for Drive

01:00:13.839 --> 01:00:20.559
were Wow, awesome. Yeah, there we go. 5

01:00:18.160 --> 01:00:24.640
gigabytes for free, 25 gigabytes for 250. So, I see people going for either

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

01:00:28.960 --> 01:00:35.119
for 50 cents less because it is a $1.99

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

01:00:38.079 --> 01:00:47.440
sorry specifically for uh 25 gigs. So you're getting four times the data for

01:00:43.200 --> 01:00:49.599
50 cents less is actually pretty solid

01:00:47.440 --> 01:00:52.960
for two years. Like you you expect it to get better. You don't necessarily expect

01:00:50.720 --> 01:00:57.040
it to get cheaper. Um, but you do expect there to be more hopefully. Um, but

01:00:55.599 --> 01:01:01.280
they've done four times the amount in two years for less, which is kind of

01:00:58.880 --> 01:01:07.319
awesome. And then 10 bucks for one terabyte and starting at a hundred bucks

01:01:03.440 --> 01:01:10.000
for 10 terabytes or more of Google Drive

01:01:07.319 --> 01:01:15.599
storage. I mean, the future is going to be fantastic, eh? if you could pay, you

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

01:01:17.119 --> 01:01:23.359
another five years down the road or whatever. Let's say we get another 10x

01:01:21.440 --> 01:01:27.920
increase in the the storage space or whatever that you know it happens to be.

01:01:25.359 --> 01:01:33.839
If you have a Google Fiber account at that point, you will actually have a 100

01:01:30.960 --> 01:01:39.040
megabyte per second connection to terabytes of storage. You will not need

01:01:35.920 --> 01:01:40.559
local storage anymore. But personally,

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

01:01:42.079 --> 01:01:46.960
arguments for personal cloud versus cloud storage. And you know what? I I

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

01:01:50.960 --> 01:01:56.880
for stuff that isn't super important and

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

01:01:58.480 --> 01:02:02.799
personal. Yeah. And then that you can access really easily. You want to be

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

01:02:06.720 --> 01:02:12.000
cloud thingy with a NAS. There's free NAS. There's tons of other things out

01:02:10.160 --> 01:02:16.160
there. And especially with computers lasting for so long these days. If you

01:02:14.799 --> 01:02:21.040
upgrade your computer down the line, you can still use your old computer, install

01:02:17.839 --> 01:02:23.440
free NAS, and then have like a beast NAS

01:02:21.040 --> 01:02:28.480
for relatively nothing. That's actually a really great way to set up a NAS. If

01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:33.040
you're not concerned with getting a really nice prepackaged software suite

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

01:02:34.960 --> 01:02:41.599
NAS on the cheap with like old parts on

01:02:38.720 --> 01:02:45.359
eBay or whatever and get just beastly performance and you know and it can and

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?

01:02:49.920 --> 01:02:56.160
Yeah. So you could stream you can stream video and music to yourself through emit

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

01:02:58.319 --> 01:03:06.480
clean and shiny as a prepackaged solution like DSM or whatever, but you

01:03:02.240 --> 01:03:10.079
can do it for it's called freess. So, I

01:03:06.480 --> 01:03:12.000
guess you can figure it out.

01:03:10.079 --> 01:03:17.599
I don't know. All right. So, this is neither good nor bad. Uh, Google has

01:03:14.319 --> 01:03:19.440
removed underlined links from their

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

01:03:21.119 --> 01:03:26.319
up. So, you can see that the blue one is

01:03:24.240 --> 01:03:29.839
underlined. And then if you click the image, you can see what a new search

01:03:28.000 --> 01:03:32.839
looks like where it is no longer underlined.

01:03:34.079 --> 01:03:40.319
I actually think it's more interesting than you do. My favorite part was that

01:03:37.119 --> 01:03:41.839
was a legitimate yawn. Okay. Okay. Uh

01:03:40.319 --> 01:03:49.680
the original article is from The Verge, by the way. And you know what? I I

01:03:46.440 --> 01:03:51.799
actually I like underlined links. Me,

01:03:49.680 --> 01:03:56.480
too. Because it's very obviously a link. But I have noticed over time no one

01:03:55.440 --> 01:04:02.160
really does it anymore. That no one really does it anymore. And so much of

01:03:59.200 --> 01:04:06.960
the internet experience is clickable and the web design has gotten so much better

01:04:04.480 --> 01:04:11.680
in terms of making things look clicky. Yeah. That I guess it's okay. But if

01:04:08.799 --> 01:04:15.200
they do away with blue for hyperlinks, that's Yeah, I don't see that coming

01:04:13.599 --> 01:04:19.359
anytime soon, though. Look at our Google Drive right now. Yes, the clickable

01:04:17.520 --> 01:04:24.240
links are blue. Every every like clickable link everywhere is blue. Um,

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

01:04:27.440 --> 01:04:33.599
is on time.com and Google will start

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

01:04:35.680 --> 01:04:43.119
tales and butterflies and sparkles version of this, and then I'll let you

01:04:39.920 --> 01:04:45.599
do the like the the cane version of

01:04:43.119 --> 01:04:49.680
this, the gloom and doom. All right. So, the good news here is

01:04:47.520 --> 01:04:55.520
that this will make it more difficult for your data to be intercepted by third

01:04:52.799 --> 01:05:00.160
parties. And of course, the the Edward Snowden leaks are a big part of why this

01:04:57.920 --> 01:05:06.319
is happening right now because Google doesn't want their customers information

01:05:03.280 --> 01:05:08.480
being stolen. Another big awesome happy

01:05:06.319 --> 01:05:12.880
time thing about this is that it can potentially allow them to circumvent

01:05:10.640 --> 01:05:18.559
censorship and make the internet more free because it will not allow ISPs or

01:05:16.559 --> 01:05:22.960
other intermediaries to not only not to not only steal the data, but even know

01:05:20.319 --> 01:05:26.960
what the heck it is. So, a more encrypted internet is better. And they

01:05:25.359 --> 01:05:33.760
say the reason that they're doing this is to encourage other companies to take

01:05:30.960 --> 01:05:38.680
a more security-minded approach to what they're doing. Now, let's get the sort

01:05:36.160 --> 01:05:43.039
of what they're doing part. They're saving their profit

01:05:40.960 --> 01:05:47.280
margins because they can do this to help protect against ISPs replacing ads and

01:05:45.599 --> 01:05:52.240
gathering data on their customers, which is talk about what that is.

01:05:49.760 --> 01:05:57.359
What what is ISPs replacing? ISPs can detect ads. Ad block can detect ads. Ads

01:05:55.039 --> 01:06:02.319
are incredibly easy to detect and an ISP could remove that ad and input their own

01:06:00.480 --> 01:06:06.799
uh therefore taking all of the profit for that and screwing with customers

01:06:05.039 --> 01:06:10.480
essentially and potentially making websites a lot worse. Like if an if an

01:06:08.559 --> 01:06:13.839
ISP is injecting ads like we were talking about earlier like the pirate

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

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

01:06:19.119 --> 01:06:26.240
injecting ads that we're not approving like linesttips.com has ads but we

01:06:23.520 --> 01:06:29.839
refuse to have things like those splash splash screen ads. We don't want any

01:06:28.079 --> 01:06:34.400
that have sound. Like we have guidelines. We can blacklist ones that

01:06:31.839 --> 01:06:40.240
we don't like. Whereas if our ISP or your ISP was just injecting crap, we

01:06:37.599 --> 01:06:44.799
can't control the web experience of our users. And that's not right. And like

01:06:42.160 --> 01:06:50.799
okay, what if you are a religious website? Yes. Yes. And you get ads for a

01:06:47.599 --> 01:06:52.880
religious dating site, which is not the

01:06:50.799 --> 01:06:56.559
religion that your website is, which is awkward. So, if you had like a like a

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

01:06:58.640 --> 01:07:05.440
singles or whatever. And none of these are necessarily bad things. It's just

01:07:02.240 --> 01:07:08.240
not a very good like why is that there?

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

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

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

01:07:19.760 --> 01:07:27.440
aligns with what they said about Google Fiber where they don't want to be an

01:07:23.559 --> 01:07:29.440
ISP. They just want the ISPs to sit in

01:07:27.440 --> 01:07:33.119
the corner like little children and do what they're told and collect no data

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

01:07:36.079 --> 01:07:41.440
in being an ISP because there's absolutely no value in it whatsoever and

01:07:39.680 --> 01:07:45.200
they are determined to take all of the value out of it.

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

01:07:46.640 --> 01:07:55.839
have Google Fiber. Anyways, yeah. So, there's that.

01:07:52.400 --> 01:07:58.240
Uh, another thing is Whoa, my thing just

01:07:55.839 --> 01:08:04.720
went totally away from that article. Yes. Oh, I don't remember where it went.

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

01:08:05.839 --> 01:08:11.039
just going to wing this. Uh, it's not 100% security either, which is something

01:08:09.440 --> 01:08:16.239
fairly important. They've been talking about uh they started doing this in China. I

01:08:14.960 --> 01:08:19.199
believe they moved their offices in China to Hong Kong in I believe 2010.

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,

01:08:22.239 --> 01:08:28.159
which is Hong Kong is now a part of China again, but it's still

01:08:25.560 --> 01:08:32.400
semi-autonomous. Um, so they dodged that and they started encrypting searches in

01:08:29.759 --> 01:08:36.560
China already. Um, but they're scared that people are going to think that it's

01:08:33.520 --> 01:08:39.920
100% security because it's not 100%

01:08:36.560 --> 01:08:42.480
security. It's nothing is. It helps you.

01:08:39.920 --> 01:08:46.000
It's not if if you start searching very incriminating things, whether or not

01:08:44.400 --> 01:08:49.040
that incriminating thing should be incriminating or not doesn't matter. If

01:08:47.679 --> 01:08:53.440
you start searching those incriminating things, people could still potentially

01:08:51.040 --> 01:08:57.440
find it. So, don't don't just be like, "Yeah, Google searches are encrypted

01:08:55.120 --> 01:09:03.040
now," which they're not yet. Probably where you are. Um, but once that

01:09:00.319 --> 01:09:07.040
happens, don't just think you're behind the iron wall because you're not

01:09:04.880 --> 01:09:12.159
necessarily. which actually leads into our first sponsor integration pretty uh

01:09:10.080 --> 01:09:17.839
handily because if you're looking for something that goes that okay encryption

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

01:09:19.759 --> 01:09:28.319
both steps that you can take to deliver a more secure online experience for

01:09:25.640 --> 01:09:33.679
yourself. So Hotspot Shield thanks to them for sponsoring the show today and

01:09:30.960 --> 01:09:37.440
our message from them is that it's all about access. So, what a VPN does,

01:09:35.759 --> 01:09:42.239
Hotspot Shield included, and we recommend their elite service because

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

01:09:44.239 --> 01:09:51.120
find with their free version as well as any other adup supported VPN. Um, from

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

01:09:54.719 --> 01:10:00.640
is kind of like there isn't really one. They all kind of suck. So, Hotspot

01:09:58.960 --> 01:10:05.120
Shield is very reasonable, especially if you use our 20% off code. uh offer code

01:10:03.440 --> 01:10:08.640
line is right there. You basically set it up and what it does. And I've

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

01:10:10.320 --> 01:10:16.159
and uh I'm gonna go ahead and explain

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

01:10:18.239 --> 01:10:23.600
is yes, because that's inherently how it

01:10:21.360 --> 01:10:27.760
works. It takes Okay, so let's say this is me

01:10:25.159 --> 01:10:31.679
and this is a website I'm trying to visit. The way that you would normally

01:10:29.600 --> 01:10:36.400
connect to it is directly. So they would have your IP. They would have any

01:10:33.679 --> 01:10:40.880
information that you send or receive directly. The way a VPN works is it goes

01:10:39.199 --> 01:10:45.520
ahead and takes your information and sends it somewhere else entirely like to

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

01:10:47.120 --> 01:10:52.239
in the eye and then back to you. So

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

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

01:10:58.880 --> 01:11:04.960
running speed test might just deliver the weirdest results ever like just be

01:11:02.640 --> 01:11:08.480
fundamentally broken but what it does is it's redirecting the traffic so all the

01:11:06.960 --> 01:11:13.679
traffic looks like it's coming from that other place. This has the benefit of so

01:11:11.760 --> 01:11:18.000
let's go ahead of allowing you to pretend you're from somewhere you're not

01:11:15.600 --> 01:11:23.040
and to somewhat although nothing is bulletproof again be from somewhere that

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

01:11:26.480 --> 01:11:32.159
in Portugal or whatever else. So, it's a

01:11:29.600 --> 01:11:38.880
great way to if you are determined enough to get access to content

01:11:34.920 --> 01:11:38.880
legitimately, at least

01:11:39.560 --> 01:11:46.880
circumvent the the blocks that are in place so that you can pay for the

01:11:44.320 --> 01:11:51.520
content like for example, US Netflix even if you're not in the US and give

01:11:49.040 --> 01:11:55.280
the content creator something even if you are according to the terms of

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

01:11:58.040 --> 01:12:06.320
/hsshare for 20% off elite prices. Use offer code Linus. And I've actually got

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

01:12:07.520 --> 01:12:15.920
Twitch chat. This is something I always forget to do. There we go. Boom. That

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

01:12:17.360 --> 01:12:25.120
we go. All right, so let's move into our second sponsor. Huge thanks to

01:12:22.600 --> 01:12:30.760
squarespace.com. I believe today is the last day of their hunt for new software

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,

01:12:33.000 --> 01:12:39.120
squarespace.com is the super easy way to

01:12:36.480 --> 01:12:42.560
build a beautiful website for yourself. And I always use my own site as an

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.

01:12:45.880 --> 01:12:52.320
linusmediagarroup.com. We have tried flooding it during the stream. It is

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

01:12:54.320 --> 01:13:02.239
a tablet. It works on whatever you want. And it is very, very inexpensive.

01:12:59.360 --> 01:13:06.159
Squarespace takes care of the software. So, the cloud-based management software

01:13:04.159 --> 01:13:10.880
that you use to build your own website, and they take care of the hosting for

01:13:08.000 --> 01:13:15.840
you. And if you go ahead and activate your account for an entire year, whether

01:13:12.880 --> 01:13:20.400
it's a blog or a photography portfolio or a store, they have a fully

01:13:17.440 --> 01:13:24.239
functioning e-commerce module. Now you for an entire year they will actually

01:13:22.239 --> 01:13:29.440
throw in your domain hosting for you for the first year for nothing. So you can

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

01:13:31.679 --> 01:13:37.360
past where uh we've had people submit

01:13:34.719 --> 01:13:41.120
their own Squarespace trial sites and we've given away accounts for it before.

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

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

01:13:46.480 --> 01:13:52.320
website. It is a great way to differentiate. I know Unbox Therapy uses

01:13:50.560 --> 01:13:56.400
Squarespace for his site now. His old one was kind of terror bad and our old

01:13:54.719 --> 01:14:01.040
one on WordPress was kind of terrible too. And this one we created. Did we

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

01:14:04.239 --> 01:14:09.760
was rebranding, right? Not like like art

01:14:07.440 --> 01:14:13.679
assets, not building the site. Yeah. And it was like ideas and oh, we don't

01:14:12.080 --> 01:14:17.600
necessarily like how that looks. Let's go a different direction with it. Yeah,

01:14:15.199 --> 01:14:21.520
like stuff that wasn't complications. It was more furthering of the Well, what

01:14:20.080 --> 01:14:25.199
happened was when you create your account, you select a template based on

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

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

01:14:30.800 --> 01:14:35.360
because the way the templates work is they're very tightly integrated. That's

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

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

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

01:14:46.560 --> 01:14:55.159
click click click then it probably would have been fine just like you did with

01:14:51.199 --> 01:14:55.159
our original forum software.

01:14:58.480 --> 01:15:08.000
I love you man. That sucked. Anyways, continuing time.

01:15:04.480 --> 01:15:09.440
Uh smart cover. Yeah. Ah I don't really

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

01:15:14.640 --> 01:15:21.239
All right. Oh, something that doesn't suck. Razer Blade

01:15:19.080 --> 01:15:27.920
14 new edition.

01:15:23.159 --> 01:15:30.400
Wow. This is the notebook that I want.

01:15:27.920 --> 01:15:35.360
Like are they sending you one? I don't know

01:15:31.560 --> 01:15:38.239
yet. For for Blade 14 original, I think

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

01:15:41.600 --> 01:15:46.880
call out and everything, yeah, might not might not be number four. You know what

01:15:44.880 --> 01:15:52.159
I mean? This is something I hope that viewers understand is my relationship

01:15:49.280 --> 01:15:58.159
with Razer is not always peachy keen. They they

01:15:55.600 --> 01:16:02.239
they sponsored the WAN Show for like months. So, yeah, we've taken money from

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

01:16:04.640 --> 01:16:09.760
hardcore on that screen. and we don't have them as sponsors on the way

01:16:07.679 --> 01:16:13.199
anymore. And yeah, but that's not why that just ran out. They're still willing

01:16:11.360 --> 01:16:18.320
to sponsor it. It's just that their internal targets for how many new comms

01:16:15.840 --> 01:16:21.600
users per dollar doesn't align with how much a W show sponsorship costs. So

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

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

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

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,

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

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

01:16:48.159 --> 01:16:54.000
this thing that, you know, I don't personally like. So, like, it's not

01:16:51.520 --> 01:16:57.760
always 100% Peachy Keen. And then, you know, I had a meeting with them that was

01:16:55.360 --> 01:17:01.280
about an hour long at CES where they're awardwinning, what's it called? The

01:16:59.280 --> 01:17:04.800
Naboo, their smart wrist thing. Oh, yeah. I was just like, I don't think it

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

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

01:17:09.280 --> 01:17:15.280
make up my mind at that point in time. But like, we had a pretty strong

01:17:12.480 --> 01:17:19.120
disagreement about that, too. So, this one

01:17:16.120 --> 01:17:21.679
though, if this arrives and it's what

01:17:19.120 --> 01:17:29.199
I'm expecting it to be, then I personally told Minlang Tan, their

01:17:25.400 --> 01:17:31.760
CEO, when I did my original review, I he

01:17:29.199 --> 01:17:36.960
he made me promise. He's like, "Look, if we fix the things you complained about,

01:17:34.400 --> 01:17:42.000
will you say that the Blade 14 is your ideal perfect notebook?" And I said,

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

01:17:44.159 --> 01:17:52.679
one is the world's thinnest gaming laptop now

01:17:49.400 --> 01:17:54.840
with a what is it?

01:17:52.679 --> 01:18:00.320
2800 by 1800

01:17:56.520 --> 01:18:04.679
display. Holy crap.

01:18:00.320 --> 01:18:07.440
And the way or no sorry 3200 by 18800

01:18:04.679 --> 01:18:13.120
display. And the amazing thing about this is that while they did upgrade the

01:18:10.640 --> 01:18:20.400
graphics card. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Not TN anymore. Exo. So that's a Sharp IPS

01:18:17.120 --> 01:18:23.040
panel. So, they've put an Exo and it's a

01:18:20.400 --> 01:18:27.600
touchscreen, which was my that was my off thereord complaint about the Blade

01:18:24.960 --> 01:18:31.199
14 because I felt like most gamers wouldn't really care about touchscreen

01:18:29.360 --> 01:18:35.120
as a feature, but when I talked to them, I said I personally like the touchcreen

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,

01:18:38.000 --> 01:18:43.440
it's got an 870M in there. Solid, which

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

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

01:18:49.920 --> 01:18:57.199
be Maxwell based. Yeah. So, I'm hoping

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

01:18:59.760 --> 01:19:04.560
efficient. And they're both about the same speed. Um, but it depends how many

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

01:19:08.719 --> 01:19:16.320
Maxwell version in it, this thing is going to blow your mind. Now, I've had

01:19:13.679 --> 01:19:21.520
people say that even though they amped up the graphics card in it, they amped

01:19:19.520 --> 01:19:25.760
up the resolution to the point where it's just stupid and nothing can drive

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

01:19:29.120 --> 01:19:35.360
something to remember. The reason that I

01:19:32.480 --> 01:19:39.840
ponyied up like $750 when I was a student, which was a lot of money for

01:19:36.640 --> 01:19:45.480
me, I like I bet the rent or like I paid

01:19:39.840 --> 01:19:48.760
spent the rent on Adele 2405 FPW was

01:19:45.480 --> 01:19:51.920
because even though LCDs have a native

01:19:48.760 --> 01:19:54.719
resolution, you can work around it if

01:19:51.920 --> 01:20:00.320
you can get um if your resolution is an even multiple of the resolution you're

01:19:57.040 --> 01:20:04.480
trying to run. So, what's cool about

01:20:00.320 --> 01:20:08.640
3200 by,800 is that it divides evenly

01:20:04.480 --> 01:20:11.760
into 1,600 by 900, which on a 14-in

01:20:08.640 --> 01:20:13.679
display higher than 720p is going to

01:20:11.760 --> 01:20:20.400
look really good, and you're not going to get any BS interpolation because it

01:20:16.719 --> 01:20:22.719
will be a 1:4 pixel mapping ratio. So,

01:20:20.400 --> 01:20:28.239
everything's going to look crisp. So you can have beautiful, super crisp text and

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

01:20:30.960 --> 01:20:38.280
throw a joke in here before you keep going. Um I just want this notebook. So

01:20:35.120 --> 01:20:40.640
it's uh Intel chipset

01:20:38.280 --> 01:20:44.080
HM87. And when I read that, I actually read it wrong. I read as TM87 because

01:20:42.800 --> 01:20:49.199
I've been playing too much Pokemon lately. So, for Pokemon fans and anyone

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

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

01:20:54.800 --> 01:21:00.560
explain. Okay, it's got a quadcore processor, Haswell, etc., etc., etc.

01:20:59.040 --> 01:21:06.800
Anyway, I'm really excited about this notebook and I'm trying to convince

01:21:03.120 --> 01:21:10.000
Razer that they should send one without

01:21:06.800 --> 01:21:10.000
like a proper loaner

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

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

01:21:17.360 --> 01:21:23.800
like, "Yeah, you know what guys, we go way back. Just send it. Don't worry

01:21:20.640 --> 01:21:26.960
about it." cuz I would trade in my

01:21:23.800 --> 01:21:28.960
XPS12 like that even though it's a

01:21:26.960 --> 01:21:34.960
convertible and I actually do use tablet mode once in a while. Oh,

01:21:32.960 --> 01:21:42.120
I am Everyone in the Twitch chat figured it out. I am le

01:21:37.080 --> 01:21:45.040
stoked. Oh my goodness. TM87 is Swagger.

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.

01:21:47.760 --> 01:21:55.520
There's actually a song about TM87 and it's actually pretty I haven't played

01:21:51.679 --> 01:21:57.120
Pokemon since like Pokemon Blue on I

01:21:55.520 --> 01:22:01.040
played Pokemon Blue and then on Game Boy Color. Yeah, I played Pokemon Blue on

01:21:59.360 --> 01:22:06.000
Game Boy Color and then I skipped everything and then Well, TM87 wasn't in

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

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

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

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

01:22:22.320 --> 01:22:27.520
really good improvement. Okay. I didn't see the other ones as like major

01:22:26.000 --> 01:22:30.320
improvements and changes, but I like the new one. Are you still using your DS all

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

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

01:22:38.320 --> 01:22:44.560
you own the Bravely Default cartridge or something. I was going to see if I could

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

01:22:47.760 --> 01:22:53.920
it." Yeah. When people suggested it to me, I was like, "Oh, cool." Uh, I've

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.

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

01:23:00.400 --> 01:23:08.400
DS. My DS Lite is broken. Oh, it's not available for DS Lite

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

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

01:23:15.199 --> 01:23:20.159
and like remakes of like older Final Fantasy games and that's the only thing

01:23:18.480 --> 01:23:23.920
I could possibly care about that came out of Square Enix in the last like 5

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.

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

01:23:30.400 --> 01:23:36.639
it's like an 85% plus rating on Metacritic, which is like that's a

01:23:34.719 --> 01:23:42.320
pretty strong indicator that it probably basically kicks ass. Yeah. So, okay.

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

01:23:44.480 --> 01:23:50.880
so mad about this. So Microsoft and

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

01:23:53.280 --> 01:23:58.320
stuff that won awards at CES like

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

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

01:24:04.480 --> 01:24:10.800
about with Tesla. Anyways, keep going. Okay. Okay. I'm just gonna I'm you know

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.

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

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

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

01:24:28.480 --> 01:24:33.920
the Transformer book duet. I'm going to go ahead and maximize it. Didn't even

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

01:24:36.159 --> 01:24:43.679
amazing CES Innovation Awards, but this was one of the coolest products at the

01:24:40.560 --> 01:24:45.679
show because what it is is it's a

01:24:43.679 --> 01:24:51.040
transformer. So, you can actually pop the top off here and turn it into a

01:24:47.440 --> 01:24:53.040
tablet or it's a notebook. That's fine.

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

01:24:55.280 --> 01:25:02.880
Intel processor, which means that the Windows experience is your normal full

01:25:00.320 --> 01:25:09.120
Windows experience, not some ARM Windows RT BS. Full Windows experience. It runs

01:25:06.400 --> 01:25:14.800
that same Intel processor on Android. They had games running like butter

01:25:11.840 --> 01:25:19.679
smooth, man. It was amazing. outstanding Android experience. And what was cool

01:25:17.440 --> 01:25:25.280
about it is you could actually switch. So all the hardware was actually in the

01:25:22.560 --> 01:25:28.719
top half and the bottom half was just IO and keyboard and maybe an extended

01:25:26.880 --> 01:25:32.239
battery. I can't remember. But what was cool about it was check this out. You

01:25:30.400 --> 01:25:35.120
just hit the button and it takes literally this long. We didn't speed up

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

01:25:38.719 --> 01:25:45.920
cool about that is not necessarily that I think everyone, you know, needs to

01:25:44.080 --> 01:25:49.120
have an Android tablet in the same way that I don't think everyone needs to

01:25:47.440 --> 01:25:54.639
have a notebook, but if you were to offer me a device that is a hybrid

01:25:51.600 --> 01:25:57.679
between the two so that I can enjoy,

01:25:54.639 --> 01:25:59.440
maybe I actually really like Hangouts on

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

01:26:02.480 --> 01:26:09.280
chat with someone. That's fantastic. and I'm having like that Google native

01:26:07.280 --> 01:26:14.080
experience, but maybe I want to get some real work done, which you cannot do on

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

01:26:16.880 --> 01:26:23.679
what you can achieve with a Windows notebook that is properly integrated and

01:26:21.679 --> 01:26:26.960
this one was really wellb built. So, what if I want to have that experience

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

01:26:28.880 --> 01:26:36.000
like this made a ton of sense. Switching back to Windows took like five seconds

01:26:32.960 --> 01:26:38.480
as well. So I could have my cake and I

01:26:36.000 --> 01:26:45.120
could eat it too and it was amazing. And Microsoft and Google have collectively

01:26:41.360 --> 01:26:49.440
screwed us by saying no, we don't want

01:26:45.120 --> 01:26:51.760
hybrids between Android and Windows now.

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

01:26:54.719 --> 01:26:59.360
work into this. It started at CES 2013

01:26:58.159 --> 01:27:04.239
when they first showed off the Transformer AIO and that was an

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

01:27:06.480 --> 01:27:13.440
all the Android hardware. I think it was a Tegra 3 processor was actually inside

01:27:10.800 --> 01:27:17.120
the tablet itself. They have refined that technology over the course of a

01:27:15.199 --> 01:27:21.199
year to have it all running on the same hardware seamlessly, letting you switch

01:27:19.520 --> 01:27:26.239
between it. And Microsoft and Google have basically spat all over that

01:27:23.520 --> 01:27:31.120
innovation and that R&D work and taken an extremely important product away from

01:27:28.800 --> 01:27:35.360
customers. We should have the right to choose between the platforms that are

01:27:33.280 --> 01:27:40.000
available on the hardware that we can get. And even if we can't necessarily

01:27:38.000 --> 01:27:44.000
install it and dual boot it ourselves, someone like ASUS or MSI or Gigabyte or

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

01:27:46.080 --> 01:27:52.480
ones who did the work in the first place to allow us to have

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

01:27:55.679 --> 01:28:03.280
this went. And I don't always defend ASUS because they're not always right,

01:27:59.920 --> 01:28:04.400
but in this case they got screwed. Uh I

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

01:28:09.360 --> 01:28:15.040
interesting is that they didn't care. I know it's a different platform entirely,

01:28:12.480 --> 01:28:21.040
but Android did not care about the Ubuntu Android mixture,

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

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

01:28:27.520 --> 01:28:34.000
a problem for the comparison, but still, they didn't really care. But now that

01:28:31.040 --> 01:28:37.040
it's Windows and now that it makes more sense. And Microsoft has never cared

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

01:28:40.000 --> 01:28:45.760
dual boot. You just switched. And like I

01:28:43.679 --> 01:28:49.120
I actually really wanted this because there's a lot of really interesting

01:28:47.120 --> 01:28:52.719
Android games coming out where you play it and you go, "Wow, this is a really

01:28:50.960 --> 01:28:56.239
good game. It would be a lot better if I had a different interface." And with

01:28:54.159 --> 01:28:59.800
Intel's improved onboard graphics, we were going to be able to get a decent

01:28:58.080 --> 01:29:04.960
notebook grade gaming experience and with I mean now I'm even

01:29:02.800 --> 01:29:09.360
more mad. Steam in home streaming would have run perfectly on this notebook. You

01:29:07.040 --> 01:29:14.880
could play every Android game and every Windows game under the sun with one

01:29:12.960 --> 01:29:19.360
device in your home and they just took it away from us. It was a fantastic

01:29:16.639 --> 01:29:21.960
laptop. Absolutely fantastic laptop. Had actually already talked to people about

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

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

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

01:29:31.840 --> 01:29:38.239
frustrating for those type of people is having to have some type of platform

01:29:35.199 --> 01:29:39.920
with iOS on it, which is frustrating

01:29:38.239 --> 01:29:43.920
when you don't want to buy an iOS platform designed device. I had to buy

01:29:42.000 --> 01:29:46.639
an iPad mini because we couldn't test something that was only available with

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

01:29:49.600 --> 01:29:56.880
and annoying, but Android is usually easier to get. But if you this made it

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

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

01:30:03.199 --> 01:30:07.600
of samples and there's you know if I really need something get a lot of

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

01:30:10.960 --> 01:30:17.120
one. This is my old one. Um, but I mean if I really really need something,

01:30:14.800 --> 01:30:21.040
there's usually some way that I can figure out, you know, like, hey, we'll,

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

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

01:30:28.000 --> 01:30:33.600
that it's your RAM in the test bench. Like simple stuff like nothing that

01:30:31.440 --> 01:30:37.280
compromises integrity, but I it's not hard for us to get hardware if we really

01:30:35.360 --> 01:30:42.159
need it. But this was the kind of thing where ASUS doesn't sample notebooks, but

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

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

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

01:30:53.199 --> 01:31:00.960
something interesting coming up. I've been trying to figure out for quite some

01:30:57.040 --> 01:31:04.639
time how we can how we can get rid of

01:31:00.960 --> 01:31:06.639
some of the like buildup of tech stuff

01:31:04.639 --> 01:31:12.000
that we have lying around here. And the Linus TechTips store, which you have to

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.

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

01:31:18.239 --> 01:31:23.520
right here, you can actually see that there's a bunch of stuff in there. But

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

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,

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,

01:31:35.920 --> 01:31:42.639
coordinating this many giveaways, you guys have no idea how much work

01:31:40.080 --> 01:31:47.600
giveaways are. This stuff can help contribute to our daily operating costs.

01:31:44.960 --> 01:31:52.560
So, we'd love to get some kind of um some kind of monetary compensation for

01:31:50.880 --> 01:31:57.120
it so that we can reinvest that money into new equipment. And of course,

01:31:55.600 --> 01:32:01.679
something that we've started doing more lately, reinvested into buying samples

01:31:59.920 --> 01:32:05.199
of stuff that we otherwise wouldn't have access to, which lead us into the topic

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

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

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

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

01:32:21.280 --> 01:32:28.159
going to do like live like garage sale after the WAN Show today. So, once we

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

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

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

01:32:40.960 --> 01:32:48.719
leak thing about the video that's coming this weekend. Oh yeah. So, we are going

01:32:46.239 --> 01:32:53.760
to be doing a couple pilots for you guys. Luke's wanted to do a gaming

01:32:50.960 --> 01:33:00.159
centric show forever, basically since he started. Um, and then I have wanted to

01:32:56.880 --> 01:33:03.840
do a toy centric channel ever since I

01:33:00.159 --> 01:33:06.639
never grew up and like toys. So, we are

01:33:03.840 --> 01:33:09.440
have each produced a pilot episode and we're going to create a thread on the

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.

01:33:12.560 --> 01:33:19.360
Saturday, Saturday or Sunday night our time. And uh we'd love for you guys to

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

01:33:21.600 --> 01:33:28.800
should pursue, what you guys would like to see changed because it is a ton of

01:33:25.840 --> 01:33:33.440
work to build up a new channel. Techquy is one that I was really certain about.

01:33:30.639 --> 01:33:37.360
Like I I knew that we needed that format that was really concise and well edited,

01:33:35.679 --> 01:33:41.600
but this is going to be completely new territory for us. gaming or toys.

01:33:39.280 --> 01:33:46.080
They're both like they're both geeky just like the tech that we already do,

01:33:43.440 --> 01:33:50.560
but they're they're different. The the voting options, there will be four of

01:33:47.679 --> 01:33:54.400
them. There's uh games only, toys only, mixture, or none. Personally, I think we

01:33:52.800 --> 01:33:57.520
should go with mixture because I actually want to see you're coloring the

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

01:34:01.040 --> 01:34:06.560
votes for. So, if you're if you're a slick fanboy,

01:34:05.280 --> 01:34:12.159
then I guess you could vote for his option. Well, what's yours? Probably a mixture

01:34:09.679 --> 01:34:16.239
of the two. But I want to know what they think. I

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.

01:34:19.199 --> 01:34:23.000
I'm voting for mixture.

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

01:34:27.360 --> 01:34:34.239
mainly going to be announcing the new system, but I'll also brush over those.

01:34:31.199 --> 01:34:36.800
I'm going to go find some stuff. Okay.

01:34:34.239 --> 01:34:40.880
Garage sale after the show. So, bill logs of the week have been a thing that

01:34:38.960 --> 01:34:43.840
haven't existed for a long time. Luckily, that unplugged your headphones

01:34:42.320 --> 01:34:48.719
and not this cable because it's screwed in. Good

01:34:45.880 --> 01:34:51.520
job. Okay. Um, build logs of the week are something that existed for a long

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.

01:34:53.440 --> 01:34:59.440
Uh, the reason why was when the forum first started, there honestly wasn't a

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

01:35:03.199 --> 01:35:11.280
fairly easy for me to manage going through every single build blog posted

01:35:08.080 --> 01:35:13.600
in a week and literally rank them

01:35:11.280 --> 01:35:18.000
internally in an Excel sheet, giving them like letter grades and then going

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

01:35:20.239 --> 01:35:26.800
all of that footwork. That was possible at the beginning. It's not really

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

01:35:28.960 --> 01:35:34.960
the end there when we were still doing build blogs of the week, every single

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

01:35:36.800 --> 01:35:42.880
better." Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. And I'm like, "Okay, well, it

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

01:35:44.960 --> 01:35:52.400
many that were awesome before or something like that." And it's just like

01:35:48.560 --> 01:35:54.400
I didn't see it. it it came up on Friday

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

01:35:55.760 --> 01:36:00.960
bounced around while I was looking and I missed it or something and that was

01:35:59.040 --> 01:36:04.719
happening way too much and it just became way too ridiculous. So, I dropped

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

01:36:07.199 --> 01:36:13.600
the we need a better option for this stance. Now, we do have a better option

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

01:36:15.280 --> 01:36:22.000
actually waiting for the next version of Envision Power Services software suite,

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

01:36:23.760 --> 01:36:28.560
two before we adopt it because we're done with forum software betas. Oh my

01:36:27.199 --> 01:36:32.080
god, we're done with forum software betas. Um, so we're waiting waiting for

01:36:30.719 --> 01:36:35.040
that to happen because tons of things are going to change then and then once

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

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

01:36:42.480 --> 01:36:47.920
so that your submission, so your completed build log, not your build log

01:36:46.159 --> 01:36:53.360
in progress, your completed build log has to be completed and submitted in the

01:36:51.040 --> 01:36:58.080
week before voting, not the week during voting. Um, and your submission has to

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

01:36:59.760 --> 01:37:06.960
picture, and a link to your thread. Um, after submitting all of these things,

01:37:05.199 --> 01:37:09.760
uh, that will be in one pinned thread. There will be another pinned thread of

01:37:08.239 --> 01:37:13.679
voting. So after submitting all these things, I'll g gather up everyone's

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

01:37:16.080 --> 01:37:21.360
picture, their 200word maximum description, and a link to their thread.

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

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.

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

01:37:32.560 --> 01:37:38.080
uh unless it's like a off by one situation where I might include three or

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

01:37:40.639 --> 01:37:48.080
going to work. Um if I go through here but that being

01:37:46.239 --> 01:37:52.800
said, you know how many people used to complain when I would stall for time in

01:37:50.080 --> 01:37:56.320
the middle of an unboxing by saying and say it was unprofessional. Really? Yeah.

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

01:37:58.880 --> 01:38:04.159
something you picked up. I don't know. I

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.

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

01:38:11.040 --> 01:38:21.360
not showing. Um that's weird. Can you log in as the other person? Yeah, sure.

01:38:17.040 --> 01:38:23.119
Lionus when? Is there anything the talk?

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

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

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

01:38:35.520 --> 01:38:42.480
all going to be super underpriced. Yeah. The Sentinel. The idea here is that I

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

01:38:44.159 --> 01:38:49.119
can buy stuff that we otherwise couldn't review. Like stuff for the toys channel

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

01:38:50.719 --> 01:38:58.600
funding whatsoever out of the gate. So, that'll help a lot for that. Um, but

01:38:56.080 --> 01:39:04.400
like I I right I had to buy um the Pebble Steel

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

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

01:39:11.040 --> 01:39:15.280
had to buy that that one toy thing. Um

01:39:14.080 --> 01:39:19.080
Kickstarter things that are still coming. It's it's so My dad will call me

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

01:39:21.840 --> 01:39:24.480
just like

01:39:25.000 --> 01:39:32.239
what what is it? I haven't ordered anything. And he's like, uh, it says

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

01:39:34.560 --> 01:39:40.239
it's usually from like some random fulfillment center. Yeah. It's like, uh,

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

01:39:41.840 --> 01:39:47.719
bought this on Kickstarter like over a year ago.

01:39:45.679 --> 01:39:51.760
There you go. Okay then. Oh, man. It's kind of fun

01:39:50.159 --> 01:39:57.280
receiving like random presents that I've forgotten about though. Oh, Kickstarter.

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

01:40:00.000 --> 01:40:05.679
what we can do about that. Okay. Either way, everyone knows the new process

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

01:40:07.199 --> 01:40:12.239
afterparty next time. This time, I guess. Um because last week I was like,

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,

01:40:15.760 --> 01:40:21.840
everyone knows the new system that's coming. So, I will be putting up that

01:40:19.600 --> 01:40:26.880
thread for people to put their suggest or submissions in. I want the person

01:40:23.760 --> 01:40:28.080
that actually made the build to actually

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

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

01:40:36.000 --> 01:40:40.639
start voting for next week. So, this is disappointing because it looks like I've

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

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

01:40:49.600 --> 01:40:56.159
QVC stuff. I've decided that I'm just going to like lower prices until someone

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

01:40:57.840 --> 01:41:03.840
of room. Okay, I'm not leaving then. Oh, all

01:41:01.600 --> 01:41:07.080
right. Okay, guys. So, stay tuned. We'll be right back.

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

01:41:35.760 --> 01:41:39.080
can hear you.
