WEBVTT

00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:12.320
All right, guys. Welcome to the WAN Show. This is going to be the first show

00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:15.320
in quite some time with no technical difficulties.

00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:24.560
Actually, I already know there's going to be one technical difficulty. We accidentally deleted the version of the

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:27.199
WAN Show intro that has audio. So, the

00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:34.360
uh guys are currently working on fixing that baby up. And

00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:38.640
uh uh hopefully it'll be back for next

00:00:34.360 --> 00:00:43.360
week. So uh without much further ado, I

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:45.840
guess uh oh a so many of you. I know for

00:00:43.360 --> 00:00:49.840
a fact due to the Twitch delay that you haven't even gotten far enough in the

00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:53.399
show for me to have admitted there were going to be difficulties. And you guys

00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:59.280
are all like lol. But I I I I I

00:00:56.440 --> 00:01:05.519
I know you're right. Anyway, we've got a lot of great topics today. And by we, I

00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:07.159
guess I mean I Luke is actually um I

00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:15.760
wonder if I'm allowed to say where he is. He's in LA. He was invited there by

00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:18.720
a graphics card maker who isn't AMD. So

00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:24.720
I guess hopefully I haven't revealed too much. the reason for him being there is

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:28.960
under NDA and he's got Brandom with him.

00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:30.640
So, he's definitely making videos. So,

00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:35.360
that's all I'll really say, which is kind of a lot, but Luke couldn't be here

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:39.840
with us today, unfortunately. But, I'll do my best to run the show by myself for

00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:44.640
y'all. And we've got a lot of great topics this week. Actually, the

00:01:41.119 --> 00:01:46.960
Microsoft Surface Pro 4 and more may be

00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:52.560
revealed at an October 6 New York City event. Um, I did know about the event. I

00:01:50.320 --> 00:01:56.960
unfortunately couldn't make it, so I won't be there, but I'll definitely be

00:01:54.640 --> 00:02:00.719
uh checking out what else is is going to be shown off. There's uh there's a few

00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:09.039
things that are rumored. Uh Sharp is looking to introduce 8K displays as

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:11.800
early as October of uh this year. So,

00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:18.480
that is some pretty bananas stuff right there. Um what else we got? Oh, this is

00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:24.480
this is terrible. A 14-year-old student was arrested for bringing a homemade

00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.480
clock to

00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:31.160
school. And before any of you ask, yes,

00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:35.920
his last name was Muhammad, which

00:02:31.160 --> 00:02:38.000
is not an excuse for arresting him.

00:02:35.920 --> 00:02:41.680
Anyway, we'll we'll Yeah, we'll we'll get into that a little bit more later.

00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:44.519
And this is this is more big news. Actually, there really is a lot this

00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:52.400
week. Um, oh boy. Uh, Jim Keller has left the

00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:55.280
building at AMD. He had come back after

00:02:52.400 --> 00:03:02.159
a stint at Apple working as the lead architect on the A4 and A5 and had come

00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:03.920
back to sort of let AMD's CPU division

00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:08.959
rise from the ashes, etc. And yeah, and he's gone. So, uh, and he's gone. So,

00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:12.879
so, uh, we we'll have to we'll we'll talk about what this might mean for AMD

00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:17.280
over the next couple of years and then possibly over the longer term. So,

00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:19.519
without further ado, I'm going to roll the

00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:37.799
intro. I've got people saying to move the mic away. I could just get a pop

00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:43.280
filter. I don't know where it is, though. Um, so yeah, there's that. And

00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:47.440
the show is no longer powered by Razer Coms. That is an

00:03:44.760 --> 00:03:51.040
extraordinarily old old version of the intro. There you go. I'll see if you

00:03:49.519 --> 00:03:54.879
guys are I'll see if you guys are I'll see if you guys are happy now. So, I'll

00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:58.400
do my best over here. Going to be all like, "Hi, Twitch chat. I don't have

00:03:56.799 --> 00:04:02.799
Luke to talk to this week, so I'll have to settle for Twitch chat." No offense

00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:09.360
you guys, but you are a poor substitute for the uh for the the sexy mastadon of

00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:14.480
a man that normally normally sits next to me. I just realized actually too that

00:04:12.239 --> 00:04:19.199
I'm kind of on his side. Like I don't know how many of you share a bed with

00:04:16.400 --> 00:04:26.000
someone, you know, a significant other, you know, your mom or whatever. I don't

00:04:20.799 --> 00:04:27.520
judge. Um but it's weird. Like try try

00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.680
laying down on the wrong side and you're just

00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:36.960
like this is weird. I need to roll. I need to roll now. I need to roll now.

00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:40.400
It's kind of the same thing. Actually, this I highly recommend. If you guys are

00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:44.000
watching the archive of the show, then you can pause the pause the show and do

00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:49.120
this now. If you're live, then you might have to wait till after the show. But if

00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:52.479
you ever drink from like um from the faucet, like just kind of

00:04:51.280 --> 00:04:56.800
you're like, "Oh, I'm thirsty. I'm in the kitchen. and I'll have dirty a glass if I get a glass. So, I'll just put my

00:04:55.440 --> 00:05:01.199
head under the faucet and drink from there. Try doing it the other way. It's

00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:05.120
like the most bizarre thing. I was like, "Oh, my mouth doesn't know how to do

00:05:02.960 --> 00:05:08.720
this. It's super weird stuff." And I will stop. Actually, I'm not even really

00:05:07.440 --> 00:05:12.720
stalling for anything. I I'm legitimately not having any technical

00:05:10.479 --> 00:05:16.479
difficulties so far this week. So, uh I'm feeling pretty good. Why don't we

00:05:13.919 --> 00:05:19.360
jump right into our first topic here? I'm going to grab the grab the link for

00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:24.880
y'all in the chat. And I'm not going to do links the complicated way, so they're going to be kind of ugly and all that,

00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:29.680
but uh that's okay. We can live with that. The original poster for this is

00:05:27.039 --> 00:05:34.560
Dat Speed over on the forum. Thank you very much for posting this in the news

00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:40.639
section. And the article here is from Windows Central. So, it shouldn't be any

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:46.160
huge surprise that with uh both Broadwell and Skylake architecture CPUs

00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:50.400
from Intel having been released since the Surface Pro 3, which is still

00:05:48.080 --> 00:05:56.720
running Haswell, that there was probably going to be a Surface Pro

00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:59.600
4. And no, that thing that Apple

00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:05.400
announced back at their event was not a Surface Pro 4. You can tell because

00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:09.479
there's no kickstand. Ah, that's one key

00:06:05.400 --> 00:06:13.360
difference. And it doesn't run a proper

00:06:09.479 --> 00:06:16.240
OS. It runs a mobile OS. So there you

00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:19.840
go. And by proper OS, I don't mean that iOS is a bad operating system or it's

00:06:18.479 --> 00:06:23.600
not a real operating system. I just mean it's not a full fat operating system.

00:06:21.919 --> 00:06:28.080
You're not going to be able to load like the full Adobe Creative Suite on there

00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:31.440
and take advantage of that fancy stylus and all of that noise. So there's

00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:35.840
actually a few other things that are rumored to show up. Um, the invites

00:06:34.479 --> 00:06:40.400
being sent out to the media for the event are for exciting news about

00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:45.280
Windows 10 devices. And I did read this particular invite and I kind of went,

00:06:43.039 --> 00:06:49.759
well, I wasn't planning to be in New York on October the 6th and sort of I

00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:53.919
got a lot of crap to do in general. So, unfortunately, I can't make it. And I

00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:57.280
don't think they even offered to like pay for my ticket out there. So, it

00:06:55.840 --> 00:07:02.240
really did seem to be kind of an afterthought like, "Hey, what if that Lionus guy wants to show up?" Uh, okay.

00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:05.440
Yeah, let's make sure he doesn't get bounced at the door just in case. So, so

00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:12.080
it was one of those kinds of things and I was just like, "Yeah, I'm I'm I'm busy. I can't really make it." But that

00:07:09.840 --> 00:07:16.560
doesn't mean that I'm not extremely interested to see what they're going to

00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:20.560
be up to at the event over there. Uh some other there there are there haven't

00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:29.400
been a lot of hints, but some other rumors are that um they will be

00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:29.400
announcing the Lumia 950 and 950 XL.

00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:35.199
Um, yeah. Okay. And I guess that's uh

00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:42.880
that's that's really that's really about it. The code names for a couple of the

00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:46.960
devices are Talkman and Cityman, which I

00:07:42.880 --> 00:07:49.800
guess tells us that there's talking.

00:07:46.960 --> 00:07:54.319
We're aiming at like sort of the urban man. And I mean, you know how the rumor

00:07:52.319 --> 00:08:01.120
mill goes. What I've actually learned over the years is that once you get

00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:07.599
pretty close to an event or a device launch, the rumor mill is pretty much

00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:10.800
95% accurate with the exceptions being

00:08:07.599 --> 00:08:13.319
cases like like what NVIDIA pulled on I

00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:21.440
think it was the GTX 580 where literally okay and I'm not

00:08:17.840 --> 00:08:24.960
even exaggerating at all the people

00:08:21.440 --> 00:08:28.479
selling the product. Okay, so your EVGA

00:08:24.960 --> 00:08:30.639
or your your MSI or your ASUS, the

00:08:28.479 --> 00:08:36.399
people selling the product and the people buying the product, which was me.

00:08:32.640 --> 00:08:40.320
I was working at NCIX at the time before

00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:44.080
a few hours before the launch did not

00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:47.279
know the price. So, I had to cut a

00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:51.839
purchase order based on faith. my sales

00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:53.440
rep at MSI had to process that order not

00:08:51.839 --> 00:08:56.560
knowing how much revenue he was generating or what his commission was

00:08:55.360 --> 00:09:01.440
going to be like all these little details right and then NVIDIA dropped a

00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:07.120
bomb and dropped the price like right on the launch so there are a few exceptions

00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:12.480
but in general if you know a couple days or let's say even you know a few weeks

00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:17.839
before an iPhone 6S is announced and you know our buddy Lou over at Unbox Therapy

00:09:15.040 --> 00:09:23.360
shows up with iPhones own six plus cases and starts bending them or doing his

00:09:19.680 --> 00:09:25.519
thing. Um, it's probably real. So, it's

00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:29.920
real unless it's a hoax or or an intentional

00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:35.160
deception. Speaking of things that are real, this next topic is pretty bananas.

00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:39.080
So, this was posted by HK05 and the original article here is

00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:46.880
from the BBC. Let's go ahead and uh pull this

00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:48.480
baby up. the first 8K TV screen to be

00:09:46.880 --> 00:09:55.839
commercially available. Now, to be clear, I and and I do mean

00:09:52.920 --> 00:10:02.800
clear. I miss Luke. I wish he was here to laugh at my terrible jokes. Maybe

00:09:58.640 --> 00:10:02.800
Twitch chat is is loling right

00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:13.120
now. You guys, come on. It's real. Unless it's a hoax. Well, yeah. Um Okay.

00:10:10.959 --> 00:10:19.839
No. Is anyone Is anyone going to laugh at my joke? Haha. Yes. Thank you. The

00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:21.440
the no scope. You win. Oh, okay. Oh, I

00:10:19.839 --> 00:10:25.120
love you guys. Okay, you guys you guys made me feel good about myself and you

00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:30.079
made me feel like I can continue to make those jokes with impunity. Jokes on you.

00:10:28.160 --> 00:10:34.959
Um, so sorry. What am I talking about? Right. So, to be clear, 8K displays have

00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:39.680
been shown before. I've seen them in person. And I've I've been like this

00:10:38.160 --> 00:10:43.760
close to them and I've kind of examined them and I've gone, "Wow, that sure is a

00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:50.720
lot of pixels. That sure is clear." That one video file that exists in the entire

00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:54.560
universe of a of a locomotive at at 8K

00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:56.959
on the show floor at CES. But this is

00:10:54.560 --> 00:11:01.680
different. This is a real commercial product and

00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:08.000
uh is apparently going to be launching on October 30th, which is appropriate

00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:11.640
because that price tag is going to give you quite a scare. It's rumored to be

00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:20.720
somewhere in the 12. Wait, is that even right? Hold on a

00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:25.360
second. That must be a typo in my notes

00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:28.200
for this. That is a typo. So, my notes

00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:34.320
for the show say $12,500 to

00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:37.920
$13,300. Yeah, I think not. We're

00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:42.200
missing a zero here. Yeah. Yeah. So, the

00:11:37.920 --> 00:11:46.519
price is going to be well over

00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:49.839
$100,000. There's about $125 to

00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:52.000
$130,000, which is really not that

00:11:49.839 --> 00:11:59.120
unusual when it comes to these uh cutting edge technologies. Like that

00:11:54.800 --> 00:11:59.120
image is so sharp, it's cutting

00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:06.480
edge. Thanks, guys. Now, I've I've missed where I'm

00:12:04.959 --> 00:12:12.079
going with this. And you know what? It will be incredibly sharp. We're talking

00:12:09.040 --> 00:12:14.880
four times the number of pixels compared

00:12:12.079 --> 00:12:19.760
to 4K. Okay? And you know that comparison that you always see of 4K

00:12:16.800 --> 00:12:25.680
displays with a 1080p resolution display kind of in the corner. So 4K is four

00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:29.360
times the number of pixels of 1080p and

00:12:25.680 --> 00:12:35.160
8K is four times the pixels of 4K. So

00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:35.160
the resolution will be 7680x 4320.

00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:41.440
So NASA will be delivering 4K space

00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:47.760
footage beginning November 1st. Netflix and Amazon, not to mention YouTube, are

00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:51.839
offering 4K streaming internet video.

00:12:47.760 --> 00:12:54.320
Although with that said, and we've

00:12:51.839 --> 00:12:58.399
talked about this a fair bit. In fact, for those of you who haven't checked it

00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:02.000
out before, I'm just going to go ahead and uh bring up the video. I'll post it

00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:06.639
in the Twitch chat because if you haven't watched this particular video of

00:13:03.839 --> 00:13:15.120
ours, it is definitely worth worth a look. Uh 4K, is it a place? Is it worth

00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:16.639
it? Here we go. Oh, that's weird. Oh,

00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:22.560
that's just a little custom test I run. Okay, so you guys definitely want to check this out because there's a lot

00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:28.079
more at play when it comes to high quality picture than the resolution.

00:13:25.839 --> 00:13:31.519
things like, you know, dynamic range, any color grading that's being done on

00:13:29.760 --> 00:13:37.320
it, things like uh, you know, alterations made to sharpness to enhance

00:13:33.839 --> 00:13:40.560
the or detract from the picture quality.

00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:43.360
Um, things like the bit rate that the

00:13:40.560 --> 00:13:48.240
media you're actually streaming. So, just because you know

00:13:45.880 --> 00:13:53.040
you're you're going to, you know, watch online content in 4K doesn't actually

00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:58.600
necessarily mean it looks better at all than a 1080p Blu-ray. Um, speaking of

00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:04.880
Blu-ray, um, something something something. Can't

00:14:01.800 --> 00:14:06.560
remember. Uh, yeah, I think 4K Blu-rays

00:14:04.880 --> 00:14:10.399
are finally showing up like sometime soon or something like that. So, why am

00:14:08.160 --> 00:14:15.440
I talking about 4K content in the context of an 8K TV? Well, for one

00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:19.279
thing, upscaling is a thing and can help a little bit. And for another thing,

00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:25.519
it's to make the point that back when a 4K display was costing you six figures,

00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:29.040
um, it's not until now that you're finally getting content for it. So, I

00:14:27.199 --> 00:14:32.880
guess what I'm trying to say is as cool a piece of technology as this is, I

00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:37.199
wouldn't recommend that you run out and buy it. Now, that's not to say that

00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:42.959
there will be no content whatsoever. Uh, NHK, Japan Broadcasting Corporation,

00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:46.360
will start to broadcast in its 8K super

00:14:42.959 --> 00:14:48.120
high vision format sometime in

00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:53.440
2018. Um, so yeah, and I mean, you know what?

00:14:51.920 --> 00:14:58.320
This is something that a lot of people are really confused about right now, and

00:14:55.680 --> 00:15:02.959
that is, well, hold on a second. There's 8K cameras now. Like I I I can't I can

00:15:01.199 --> 00:15:07.360
never keep track of what Red calls their stupid cameras, but I I think it's

00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:11.760
weapon is the latest one. We went from the

00:15:09.199 --> 00:15:11.760
uh what just

00:15:16.040 --> 00:15:23.480
happened? Did my feed just cut out? I

00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:23.480
promise no technical diff.

00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:33.600
Uh did you guys ever Uh turned

00:15:42.199 --> 00:15:46.199
off battery.

00:15:55.600 --> 00:16:01.720
Uh okay. Come plug it in when you get a chance.

00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:01.720
Hello.

00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:12.240
Uh, the camera's on, right?

00:16:05.839 --> 00:16:12.240
Uh, the camera. Yeah, it is. Yeah. Uh,

00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:17.440
oh. I'm

00:16:18.199 --> 00:16:26.160
refreshing. It's It's on, right? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Oh, there we go. How many

00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:29.360
times you mentioned no technical difficulty? Yeah, I know, right? All

00:16:28.079 --> 00:16:34.240
right, I don't remember what I was talking about anymore. So, something

00:16:31.199 --> 00:16:36.399
something 8K 4K something, whatever.

00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:41.600
Let's move on to the next topic. So, NVIDIA's Game Stream Co-op has entered

00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:45.800
beta. This was posted on the forum by Shadow Bullet. And our source for this

00:16:44.160 --> 00:16:51.440
is well, the NVIDIA.com website. So, this is some

00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:56.160
pretty cool stuff. And actually for us over here was one of the big highlights

00:16:53.519 --> 00:17:02.639
of the recent NVIDIA graphics card launch, the uh the 950. Not because, you

00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:06.039
know, the 950 isn't a cool card, you know, fair price and all that stuff, but

00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:12.000
because this kind of technology is driving gaming forward in

00:17:09.520 --> 00:17:17.679
a way that a new, you know, bang for the buck mid-range to low-end graphics

00:17:15.199 --> 00:17:23.919
processor isn't. Because quite frankly, when NVIDIA launches a GTX, you know,

00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:27.280
960 or 950 or whatever, they're not

00:17:23.919 --> 00:17:30.240
they're not breaking new ground. This is

00:17:27.280 --> 00:17:34.720
performance that we already had with the previous generation, just at a higher

00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:38.960
price point. So, like that's cool and lower prices and more performance for

00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:41.840
all is great, but the reason that we don't, you know, get all that excited

00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:48.000
about it is because it's not bringing us new gaming experiences. This on the

00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:50.240
other hand is some pretty cool shiz. So

00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:54.240
basically NVIDIA graphics card users can now phone a friend to get through a

00:17:52.400 --> 00:18:01.200
game's tough spots with the latest beta. So, to use GameStream Co-op, the host PC

00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:04.480
needs a GTX 650 or higher desktop GPU or

00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:06.720
a 660M or higher laptop card, a Core

00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:11.120
i32100 or higher CPU with at least 4 gigs of RAM, which probably you have if

00:18:09.280 --> 00:18:15.840
you have a current generation graphics card, and you need at least 7 megabit

00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:22.559
per second of upstream bandwidth along with a decent router. So after receiving

00:18:19.840 --> 00:18:26.559
an invite, the guest can actually launch the stream like a like a live stream of

00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:30.400
the game you're playing using a Google Chrome extension. So it's designed for

00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:35.360
DirectX9 games or higher. So unfortunately those of you who want to

00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:37.120
play, you know, the Matrix or whatever

00:18:35.360 --> 00:18:41.760
on game stream co-op, you might be you might be out of luck. And streams are

00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:46.320
capped at 720p 30fps with co-op sessions limited to 60 minutes at a time before

00:18:44.080 --> 00:18:51.679
the host needs to send another invite. But, uh, yeah, pretty darn cool. There's

00:18:49.440 --> 00:19:00.559
integrated YouTube upload capabilities and a new in-game overlay. So, um, yeah,

00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:02.160
I'm I'm I'm liking it. Oh, I remember

00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:05.679
what I was going to talk about next on the 8K video thing. So, some of you

00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:09.679
might be thinking, "Okay, Lionus, hold on a second. There's 8K cameras out

00:19:07.360 --> 00:19:13.840
there like uh, you know, Red's latest, you know, awesome named product or

00:19:11.760 --> 00:19:18.720
whatever the case may In fact, I think um I think Marcus Brownley actually has

00:19:15.760 --> 00:19:22.720
his camera out for the upgrade right now as we speak if he has hasn't got it back

00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:27.520
already. And you're probably thinking, "So, well, come on. These Hollywood guys

00:19:25.120 --> 00:19:31.360
out there and these, you know, big shot YouTubers with their big, you know,

00:19:29.360 --> 00:19:36.320
studios, why aren't they just all buying 8K cameras and releasing all their

00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:38.679
videos at 8K?" Because there are a lot

00:19:36.320 --> 00:19:43.679
of other problems. So, problem number one is the workflow. Okay, working with

00:19:41.679 --> 00:19:48.039
8K footage, we're talking file sizes that are massively bigger than 1080p and

00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:53.039
even 4K is going to put additional strain on

00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:57.360
your processor, on your storage devices, on your network, if you work over the

00:19:54.720 --> 00:20:04.080
network like we do. Uh, problem number two is on camera and generally storage

00:20:01.600 --> 00:20:10.480
like just storing these massive files all over the place is a significant

00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:13.919
issue. Okay, problem number three is

00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:16.559
who's watching this? And while we did

00:20:13.919 --> 00:20:21.280
discover that playing back 4K video on your 1080p monitor on YouTube, if you

00:20:19.600 --> 00:20:26.240
have the bandwidth, if you have the internet connection for it does offer a

00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:31.799
benefit thanks to the higher uh the higher bit rate of the

00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:34.880
content for 8K. I

00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:36.880
mean, that may be a benefit, but in that

00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:41.679
case, you don't need to shoot on an 8K camera anyway. You might as well shoot

00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:45.120
on a 1080p, even a good 1080p camera or

00:20:41.679 --> 00:20:47.840
a 4K camera and then just export at HK.

00:20:45.120 --> 00:20:52.880
Which leads us to yet another problem, and that is exporting at 8K. Uh, codec

00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:57.840
support really isn't there yet. Um, I exported an 8K file on a fairly powerful

00:20:55.200 --> 00:21:02.400
computer, very powerful 36 core machine, and it just completely crapped the bed.

00:21:00.159 --> 00:21:06.799
And then yet another issue is that display interfaces haven't even caught

00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:12.400
up yet. So even if people did want to go and buy $100,000 TVs, even if like every

00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:16.720
millionaire in the world was like, "We want to push 8K forward. Let's bring us

00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:21.919
8K now. We're going to like we're going to all buy 8K TVs if you guys will start

00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:25.840
broadcasting in 8K." And uh the issue is that I don't think we even have a

00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:30.960
display interface that is gonna like I don't even know how they're planning to

00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:33.520
drive this thing. Maybe HDMI 2.0 30 Hz.

00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:39.679
Maybe that'll work. I don't even know cuz HDMI 2.0 I know can do 40k 60 Hz but

00:21:38.159 --> 00:21:43.360
uh maybe you guys will maybe you guys will have to let me know. And then and

00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:50.000
then the final the final issue with 8K that will I think really like I think 8K

00:21:47.760 --> 00:21:56.880
adoption and you guys can you guys can you guys can quote me on this. 8K

00:21:52.360 --> 00:22:00.760
adoption will be as much slower than 4K

00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:06.600
adoption as 4K was than

00:22:00.760 --> 00:22:12.799
1080p. And 1080p was relatively uh was

00:22:06.600 --> 00:22:14.559
relatively fast. 4K is taking forever

00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:19.840
because you're counting on all these infrastructure upgrades in the back end.

00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:22.480
It's it's almost no content that's being

00:22:19.840 --> 00:22:27.919
broadcast like via traditional broadcast in 4K uh with only like web companies

00:22:25.600 --> 00:22:31.919
doing what I would call cheapo 4K because there hasn't been an

00:22:30.080 --> 00:22:37.200
infrastructure upgrade to make it possible. Not really. we're still

00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:38.960
talking bit rates that are quite low

00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:44.000
compared to, you know, something like a 1080p blue Blu-ray, even though you've

00:22:41.760 --> 00:22:50.320
upped the resolution. So, so all these infrastructure upgrades, I think 8K

00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:53.520
could be, you know, 10 years, 20 years

00:22:50.320 --> 00:22:55.520
before anyone even gives a crap at all.

00:22:53.520 --> 00:22:59.520
And the reason for that is that it all comes down to Apple's retina marketing.

00:22:58.080 --> 00:23:03.919
And I'm not saying Apple's retina marketing in the in the sense that like

00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:06.880
because Apple's full of snake oil and they've convinced someone everyone that

00:23:05.520 --> 00:23:11.880
you know retina is the only thing that's important or or whatever. Um but because

00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:16.880
of the retina concept in which there's actually a fair

00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:21.440
bit of truth to be had, you know, with a with a good quality display with

00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:23.679
accurate color management and with high

00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:28.320
contrast which matters more to image quality than you would think. And I

00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:34.159
don't mean turning up the contrast knob. That's bad. I mean high high a high

00:23:32.159 --> 00:23:37.799
difference between the brightness level of white versus the brightness level of

00:23:36.320 --> 00:23:43.840
black. Um so something something right the

00:23:41.679 --> 00:23:49.760
basically the concept that there's a certain number of pixels needed at the

00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:54.799
optimal or usual viewing distance to make it so that the viewer cannot

00:23:51.760 --> 00:23:57.919
discern any additional improvement in

00:23:54.799 --> 00:24:01.520
image quality from adding more pixels.

00:23:57.919 --> 00:24:04.080
And I would make the argument that 1080

00:24:01.520 --> 00:24:09.080
is already there unless you've got like eagle eye vision. 4K, yeah, you'll

00:24:07.520 --> 00:24:15.600
probably see some improvement, especially once you start seeing content

00:24:12.159 --> 00:24:17.600
that was shot in 4K, which isn't going

00:24:15.600 --> 00:24:22.400
to look quite as clean and quite as crisp on a 1080p display. like it like

00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:26.960
the content improvement is going to be as much probably of what you see in

00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:32.080
terms of wow 4K is so much better as the resolution improvement and going from 4K

00:24:29.679 --> 00:24:36.480
to 8K at what would be the typical like we've gotten to the to the limit of how

00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:40.640
big of a TV people want to put in their living rooms like I don't know about you

00:24:38.320 --> 00:24:46.480
guys but my living room doesn't have room for a 100inch TV so TVs are going

00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:50.799
to be and and there's there shipping logistical like like it's hard to it's

00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:54.159
hard to ship around TVs that are bigger than that. They're very easy to damage.

00:24:52.320 --> 00:24:58.640
They're hard to lift. Like, like we're pretty much at the limit now in terms of

00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:02.799
what people are going to want for a typical living room TV screen. Now, the

00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:06.640
home theater guys, they're a different ball of wax, but they always have been,

00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:11.520
and they're going to keep wanting, you know, projectors or like, you know, roll

00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:17.159
out displays that are, you know, 150 in or whatever the case may be. But but for

00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:20.080
now, 8K is not going to offer a tangible

00:25:17.159 --> 00:25:23.760
benefit for normal users putting normalsiz TVs in normal homes and

00:25:22.320 --> 00:25:29.279
sitting a normal distance away from them. You can mark my words on that. 8K

00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:35.279
already doesn't matter. But hey, if you want to have dem bragging rights or

00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:37.679
whatever, then you can drop $130,000 on

00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:41.840
a Sharp 8K display and you can feel pretty good about yourself because

00:25:39.360 --> 00:25:45.039
that'll be Apparently Twitch Chat wants Dennis.

00:25:43.760 --> 00:25:50.159
I don't know. Hey, Dennis, do you want to come say hi to Twitch chat?

00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:57.320
Well, no, you have to come over here. Also, you have to be Dennis.

00:25:53.679 --> 00:25:59.960
I am Dennis. Hello. You are not Dennis.

00:25:57.320 --> 00:26:04.240
And oh my goodness. Well, okay. Dennis is on his

00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:07.679
way over. Twitch chat is getting what they wanted. Apparently Burkel's on his

00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:12.320
way over, too. I didn't know if you were talking to me or not. I I wasn't talking

00:26:10.080 --> 00:26:18.559
to you. You can No, I am talking to you, Dennis. No, I I was talking to Burkel

00:26:15.760 --> 00:26:23.720
when I said I wasn't talking to you. Okay,

00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:27.360
the microphone's here.

00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:28.880
Hello. What? What's going on?

00:26:27.360 --> 00:26:33.840
Okay. Thank you, Dennis. Is there anything happening? No, no, that's

00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:37.200
that's an image of us. Oh, cool. The

00:26:33.840 --> 00:26:40.799
camera's over there.

00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:43.440
Rolling shooting something.

00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:50.159
Carry on, guys. Are we too loud over there? No, no, no, not at all. Uh,

00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:54.240
Dennis. We actually had someone post on the forum that apparently we all hate

00:26:51.840 --> 00:26:58.159
Dennis or something like that. Do you think I'd hire him if I didn't

00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:02.640
like him? If I didn't think he was a fantastic member of our team? And Dennis

00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:06.080
doesn't have to be here. He's a highly skilled individual. Like, he he probably

00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:10.159
doesn't get enough credit for all the stuff that he's been doing around here.

00:27:07.679 --> 00:27:16.799
Uh Dennis has edited uh personal rig update part one on the LTT channel. He

00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:20.159
also edited the um the uh ah right, that

00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:22.720
is a cool video. the uh the desk PC

00:27:20.159 --> 00:27:26.080
build with like the the components clipped into well not okay I won't spoil

00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:33.360
the surprise but however they're attached to the bottom of the desk he filmed and edited that on a Saturday no

00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:38.080
less totally totally good guy uh he edits almost all of Fast as possible now

00:27:35.840 --> 00:27:41.840
so so yeah he's an extremely valuable member of the team and I'd like to

00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:45.960
dispel any rumors that we don't uh we don't love Dennis around

00:27:43.640 --> 00:27:50.799
here all right let's go ahead and move On to our

00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:55.200
next topic. This is some cool stuff. The original article here is from

00:27:53.000 --> 00:28:02.399
bgr.com and I'm sorry I've been forgetting to post links for you guys. I

00:27:58.200 --> 00:28:06.320
suck. And the OP on the forum was Joss.

00:28:02.399 --> 00:28:09.200
Cool stuff. This transparent solar

00:28:06.320 --> 00:28:14.000
powered battery looks like a futuristic Tony Stark invention is the headline

00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:18.840
over there. And it looks like some pretty cool stuff. So, it's a fully

00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:26.320
transparent solar cell that could in theory turn every window and screen into

00:28:23.600 --> 00:28:30.960
a power source. Like remember on your Game Gear, you know, it would come with

00:28:28.320 --> 00:28:34.919
a warning that says, "Do not leave the screen in direct

00:28:32.760 --> 00:28:40.159
sunlight." That could be a thing of the past. What if it's a requirement that

00:28:38.159 --> 00:28:44.080
you run your devices with the screen in direct sunlight? Yeah. Now, that's a

00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:49.600
future that I'm talking about. So, this was developed by a team of researchers

00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:51.080
at the co Koga Quinn. Yeah. Okay.

00:28:49.600 --> 00:28:55.919
Whatever. Um, co I have actually have not heard of

00:28:54.159 --> 00:28:59.840
that university before. I'm really sorry to everyone from there who's watching.

00:28:57.760 --> 00:29:04.720
Um, and it was influenced by ubiquitous energy. So, it contains a lithium ion

00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:09.600
battery that is not entirely transparent. It becomes slightly tinted

00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:15.880
when exposed to sunlight. When it's fully discharged, the light transmission

00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:18.480
transmittance rises to approximately

00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:23.600
60%. So the team shrunk down the electrodes all the way down to around 80

00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:27.520
to 90 nmters to allow light to pass through. So they've been working on this

00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:31.840
technology for about 4 years since a team of researchers at Stan Stanford

00:29:29.520 --> 00:29:37.039
came up with the concept. Uh the concept was demoed at Innovation Japan earlier

00:29:33.760 --> 00:29:37.039
this month and it's not

00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:46.600
clear how long it will take to be used in commercial products. So the prototype

00:29:43.760 --> 00:29:53.240
uh currently has an efficiency of around 1%. Okay, so you know nothing super you

00:29:50.919 --> 00:29:58.000
know world revolutionary yet but uh they think that

00:29:55.679 --> 00:30:02.240
10% should be possible once production commences. So, it's scalable and

00:30:00.159 --> 00:30:07.840
affordable from smartphones all the way up to industrial size Windows. And let

00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:09.760
me tell you, if we could convert the

00:30:07.840 --> 00:30:15.600
random sunlight coming into our warehouse and our office and heating it

00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:18.840
up in the summer into energy, we would

00:30:15.600 --> 00:30:21.200
be totally down for

00:30:18.840 --> 00:30:25.520
that. I had a feeling there were like some straw pole things that I wanted to

00:30:23.440 --> 00:30:30.480
do today. And I've completely I've completely forgotten what any of the

00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:32.399
ideas I wanted to do were. But uh oh, I

00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:37.200
would like to talk about a little project that I worked on

00:30:34.840 --> 00:30:43.200
today. Just in the meantime, I'm going to request a glass of water from someone

00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:48.399
because I have done a lot of talking today. I shot uh too fast as possible

00:30:46.320 --> 00:30:53.840
some like random bits that someone needed for another video right before

00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:56.559
WAN Show today. And then earlier today,

00:30:53.840 --> 00:31:04.799
I finally did it. I've had a lot of requests for more spots for my son, and

00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:11.600
I finally felt like he was ready to carry his dad's torch and take over

00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:15.360
Lionus Media Group. He is hosting with

00:31:11.600 --> 00:31:18.480
some help from dad, his very first PC

00:31:15.360 --> 00:31:20.399
build log. Yes, my friends. My

00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:24.720
three-year-old came into the office today. In fact, it's it's so funny. It's

00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:30.799
like he comes in, he does a PC build log, and now he is actually in the

00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:34.320
library having a nap. Um, so he built

00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:36.080
his very first PC today. Taran got the

00:31:34.320 --> 00:31:41.679
whole thing on camera and is recording it as we speak right now. And that will

00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:46.159
be uploaded on Vessel uh this weekend, which means it should land on YouTube

00:31:43.840 --> 00:31:50.000
sometime next week. So, that is going to be some good stuff. Look at that. He

00:31:48.320 --> 00:31:53.000
even put ice in it. You are such a suckup.

00:31:58.679 --> 00:32:05.039
That is not going to last long. So,

00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:12.880
let's go ahead and jump into our next topic here. This is really sad. Uh, this

00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:16.080
was posted by Rune on the forum and uh

00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:18.000
it's just like

00:32:16.080 --> 00:32:21.279
I don't know. I don't I don't really know what is there what is there to

00:32:19.760 --> 00:32:24.960
really say about this other than than that it totally sucks. This has been

00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:29.799
making this has been making waves this week. Uh the post that I've got on it

00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:36.480
here is uh from the Verge. So 18-year-old Ahmed Muhammad arrested for

00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:40.440
bringing a homemade clock to school.

00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:44.320
Now, to be clear, he has been released,

00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:45.519
but not until after he'd been Okay.

00:32:44.320 --> 00:32:52.080
Well, here, why don't we start at the beginning? So, he lives in Irving, and has a keen interest in robotics and

00:32:49.159 --> 00:32:56.799
engineering. Cool. All right. Uh, put the device together on Sunday night. was

00:32:54.799 --> 00:33:02.240
pulled out of class the next day, interviewed by police officers, and

00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:08.120
taken in handcuffs to juvenile detention after being told by teachers that his

00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:11.919
creation looked like a bomb.

00:33:08.120 --> 00:33:14.640
Now, I mean, is this is this what

00:33:11.919 --> 00:33:20.799
happens? We have Looney Tunes to thank. This is what happens when an entire

00:33:17.600 --> 00:33:24.960
generation of kids grows up watching,

00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:28.080
you know, wy coyote strap himself to,

00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:30.960
you know, rockets and build bombs out of

00:33:28.080 --> 00:33:38.200
like dynamite sticks with clocks attached to them on Saturday mornings

00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:41.039
and then grows up and becomes the adults

00:33:38.200 --> 00:33:44.480
because a bomb. So, so to be clear, the simple device was created from a circuit

00:33:42.799 --> 00:33:50.760
board and a power supply wired to a digital display all strapped inside a

00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:53.360
case with a tiger hologram on the

00:33:50.760 --> 00:33:57.720
front. So, because everyone thinks that anything with a display on the front

00:33:55.679 --> 00:34:04.080
looks like a bomb, this guy gets taken away from

00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:08.320
school in handcuffs. I mean, what is

00:34:04.080 --> 00:34:11.040
this what is this doing for and I like I

00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:14.560
tend not to get into the whole like, you know, what's the right way to combat

00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:19.040
racism because quite frankly, it's a little outside my wheelhouse. I'm going

00:34:16.560 --> 00:34:24.320
to stick to building PCs, which is what I'm usually good at.

00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:28.720
But does this seem like the kind of thing that's going to break down race

00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:33.520
barriers? you know, hauling away the brown kid in handcuffs because he had

00:34:31.520 --> 00:34:40.159
the audacity to bring something to school that someone thought looked like

00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:41.919
a bomb when the adult way, and you know,

00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:45.599
at 14 you should be able to deal with this the adult way. The adult way to

00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:49.679
deal with this would be to be like, "Hey, what is that?" And he'd be like,

00:34:47.359 --> 00:34:54.000
"A clock." And you'd be like, "Oh, cool. Show me how it works. We could just

00:34:51.839 --> 00:34:59.839
communicate with each other. Seems like kind of an okay idea. I know I'm making

00:34:56.879 --> 00:35:03.520
statements and then I'm, you know, my my intonation at the end of my sentences

00:35:01.359 --> 00:35:09.960
sounds like a question, but it's because I'm questioning everything right now.

00:35:06.200 --> 00:35:13.640
So, very frustrating.

00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:18.079
Um, but I mean,

00:35:13.640 --> 00:35:20.000
basically, the good news is that the PR

00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:24.480
train is rolling on this whole thing. Barack Obama has invited him to the

00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:29.920
White House saying that the states needs more kids like him who are taking an

00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:36.320
interest in being makers at a young age. Uh Mark Zuckerberg has reached out and

00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:37.839
invited him to Facebook HQ. Um a JPL

00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:42.720
engineer has invited him to come check out a Mars rover whenever he wants. So

00:35:39.839 --> 00:35:50.079
to be clear, happy ending to the story, but this is just insanity. and and and

00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:52.720
at any stage someone could and should

00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:58.720
have stopped it. So if some kid was like, "Hey, he's got a bomb." All the

00:35:56.079 --> 00:36:02.560
teacher had to do was go and look at it. And you know, it's one thing if he, you

00:36:00.640 --> 00:36:05.920
know, plants it in a kid's locker he doesn't like and phones in a bomb threat

00:36:04.160 --> 00:36:10.480
to the school. Now we're having a serious conversation about, you know,

00:36:07.839 --> 00:36:14.160
young Ahmed needing a stern talking to and, you know, should probably be hauled

00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:17.680
off in handcuffs. But it's another thing if some kid's like, "Oh yeah, you know

00:36:15.839 --> 00:36:21.359
that guy has a bomb." And the teacher looks at it for freaking you're supposed

00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:25.760
to have a degree. You're supposed to be an educator for like two seconds. Talks

00:36:23.680 --> 00:36:30.160
to the kid for two seconds and avoids the call to the cops. And then the cops

00:36:28.240 --> 00:36:35.680
have every opportunity to tell everyone to calm the truck down. It's not a bomb,

00:36:32.720 --> 00:36:41.320
which you were clearly told already, and not haul them off in handcuffs. Just

00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:41.320
absolutely ridiculous.

00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:52.480
I'm sorry you guys have to listen to me sucking back water, but I really, really

00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:56.960
need it. All right, so this is good stuff. This is posted by Aming on the

00:36:54.960 --> 00:37:01.800
forum. Thank you very much, Aming for posting this. I'm going to go ahead and

00:36:58.720 --> 00:37:04.079
copy the link to Android

00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:07.920
Authority. Here we go. And then let's go ahead and screen share with you guys.

00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:13.119
Bubby, where is it? Yep, there it is. All right, Qualcomm introduces

00:37:10.160 --> 00:37:18.160
QuickCharge 3.0, powering up devices four times faster. I always love those

00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:23.520
claims with, you know, the little asterisk next to the number. Four times

00:37:20.640 --> 00:37:27.839
if you compare to when it was a caveman spinning a stick like this with a wire

00:37:26.079 --> 00:37:32.640
attached to the bottom of it, plugged into the bottom of your phone. Um, so

00:37:30.560 --> 00:37:37.280
no, it is not four times faster than Quick Charge 2.0, 0, but it is

00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:42.079
definitely raising the bar for fast charging and not on just Apple devices.

00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:46.400
Like Apple has always been pretty good at this stuff. Now, in the last few

00:37:44.720 --> 00:37:50.880
generations of Quick Charge, Qualcomm has allowed pretty much any Android

00:37:48.880 --> 00:37:55.359
device out there, as long as they're willing to invest in the supported

00:37:52.480 --> 00:38:01.839
products from Qualcomm, haha, uh to have fast intelligent battery charging. So,

00:37:57.760 --> 00:38:03.680
Quick Charge 1.0 was 40% faster than

00:38:01.839 --> 00:38:10.640
conventional charging. With Quick Charge 2.0 being 75% faster than conventional

00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:14.240
charging and Quick Charge 3.0 being 38%

00:38:10.640 --> 00:38:19.119
faster than Quick Charge 2.0. This is

00:38:14.240 --> 00:38:21.119
cool. It's USB typeC ready. So, I mean,

00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:24.160
it seems to me, and I don't have any particular industry insight on this.

00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:27.920
Maybe someone has already covered this somewhere, in which case feel free to

00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:32.839
tell me I'm an idiot or whatever. that it seems to me like what happened with

00:38:29.680 --> 00:38:35.520
the OnePlus 2 was that during product

00:38:32.839 --> 00:38:41.440
development type C the connector was ready but the the the backend quick

00:38:38.560 --> 00:38:46.000
charge circuitry was not ready for that connector and that standard yet. So,

00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:51.760
OnePlus was forced to release the two with the type-C connector, which was a

00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:55.040
good call. Durability, reversability, A+

00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:57.599
for that, but without rapid charging,

00:38:55.040 --> 00:39:02.160
which for some people is a serious drawback. Well, now it's ready. And any

00:39:00.720 --> 00:39:06.000
phones that we see that are developed now that the technology is finished

00:39:04.160 --> 00:39:12.240
should be able to support both of those things at the same time.

00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:13.680
So, aside from achieving insane charging

00:39:12.240 --> 00:39:17.760
speeds, this is the first time that Qualcomm is using intelligent

00:39:15.240 --> 00:39:23.040
negotiation for optimum voltage, which is a new algorithm to determine how much

00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:24.480
voltage that they should request. So,

00:39:23.040 --> 00:39:34.000
this will ship in devices with the Snapdragon 820, 620, 618, and

00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:37.680
430. Good stuff. Now, here is here is a

00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:40.960
thing though. Um, it is common knowledge

00:39:37.680 --> 00:39:43.359
I think amongst the technology savvy

00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:49.200
folks out there that charging your battery faster does a couple of things.

00:39:46.560 --> 00:39:54.560
Number one is it gets you back up and running sooner and number two is it

00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:56.079
causes your battery to heat up more. So

00:39:54.560 --> 00:40:03.280
it causes the battery to heat up more which can in turn cause your battery to

00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:04.640
have a lower lifespan. So, I'm

00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:11.839
personally, well, and you can call it superstition, you can call it whatever you want. I'm personally in the uh

00:40:09.160 --> 00:40:17.760
charging every time for the batteries that I care about at 1 amp or less camp.

00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:24.280
I actually don't even use a 2 amp charger on my Droid Turbo unless I'm

00:40:20.880 --> 00:40:28.079
desperate because I want this

00:40:24.280 --> 00:40:31.200
3900 milliamp battery to keep being

00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:35.680
capable of what a 3900 millia battery

00:40:31.200 --> 00:40:38.000
can be for a very very long time. But,

00:40:35.680 --> 00:40:41.839
um, you know, with that said, having the option to throw your device on the

00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:47.440
charger for 30 minutes and get, you know, enough battery to stay out

00:40:44.000 --> 00:40:49.520
basically all day is definitely nice.

00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:54.640
And I'm not going to say no to future improvements in quick charge

00:40:52.280 --> 00:41:00.240
technology. Oh, this was actually just added this was just added after the fact

00:40:57.520 --> 00:41:08.359
to the WAN Show document. So, uh, for everyone watching right now, we are

00:41:03.119 --> 00:41:10.640
doing a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus

00:41:08.359 --> 00:41:16.720
giveaway. So, let's go ahead and, uh, paste that link into the Twitch chat

00:41:13.599 --> 00:41:19.920
here. So, you guys definitely go and

00:41:16.720 --> 00:41:22.800
check that out. Uh, let me just go

00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:27.960
actually find out what exactly the uh, sorry, what exactly the the terms of

00:41:25.200 --> 00:41:31.680
this are. So, we have uh Nick is actually Oh, look at that. There's a

00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:36.480
special Linus Media Group staff thing for uh for Linus Media Group staff. I

00:41:35.200 --> 00:41:39.920
didn't know that. I don't think I have one of those. Huh. It's pink. Love it.

00:41:38.480 --> 00:41:43.119
All right. So, we've partnered with Samsung to give you lucky people the

00:41:41.680 --> 00:41:49.800
opportunity to be the owner of a new Galaxy S6 Edge Plus as part of their

your best foot forward

00:41:49.800 --> 00:41:56.800
campaign. Is it really fest foot forward? Okay. Uh, they brought

00:41:54.319 --> 00:42:00.960
Snapchatter Shawn Durus and Viner Ray Lea out to a few outdoor music festivals

00:41:59.200 --> 00:42:04.640
this summer and let them demonstrate how you can step your social media game up a

00:42:02.720 --> 00:42:08.880
few notches with the camera features on their new S6 Edge and Edge Plus

00:42:06.079 --> 00:42:13.200
smartphones. And it really is a great great camera you guys which you guys

00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:18.560
will know if you watched out my S6 Edge review. So, how do you enter? You watch

00:42:16.319 --> 00:42:24.800
this video which I'll go ahead and paste in the Twitch chat. Now, I think you

00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:26.240
have to like it as well. Not 100% sure

00:42:24.800 --> 00:42:31.200
how they're tracking that, but I think you're supposed to like it. Uh, yep. Hit

00:42:28.640 --> 00:42:35.040
the like button uh on the videos in the series over on Samsung's channel and

00:42:33.200 --> 00:42:39.760

worldwide giveaway. Good stuff. Way to

00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:52.640
go, Nick. I guess uh so the phone will probably be shipped out by us. So there

00:42:50.160 --> 00:42:56.319
you go, guys. Uh definitely go open that in another tab or whatever or go hit go

00:42:54.880 --> 00:43:03.200
hit like and leave your comment now. It only takes a second and you'll be entered for a chance to win a Galaxy S6

00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:04.720
Edge Plus, which as far as I can tell

00:43:03.200 --> 00:43:09.680
now that I've had my hands on both of them, is basically a Note 5 with the

00:43:07.359 --> 00:43:15.599
curve on the glass instead of the curve on the back. Um so yeah, and so far,

00:43:13.520 --> 00:43:20.160
where is my Note 5? What the heck? Oh, well. Oh, there it

00:43:18.319 --> 00:43:25.920
is. It's under my butt. Um, so I've been working on my Note 5 review for a little

00:43:22.319 --> 00:43:29.119
while now. So far, wow. Really nice

00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:31.200
phone. This is the first phone. This is

00:43:29.119 --> 00:43:35.440
the first Note series phone that has really gotten my attention. There were

00:43:32.960 --> 00:43:40.800
things I liked about previous ones. Um, I'm sure Ed's going to correct me here,

00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:43.760
but I think it was a Note 2 was the last Note he had, and there were some really

00:43:42.240 --> 00:43:47.119
great things about that phone. I mean, the huge screen is obviously nice for

00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:52.720
content consumption. And let me tell you, with the bezels being so small on

00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:56.079
this puppy, it really is outstanding for content consumption. It had really loud

00:43:54.880 --> 00:44:00.400
speakers, which is something that's easier to do in a larger phone body just

00:43:58.640 --> 00:44:05.200
because you can fit bigger speakers in it. And um yeah, anyway, really like

00:44:03.760 --> 00:44:09.680
this phone so far. Stay tuned because my review will be coming at some point in

00:44:06.960 --> 00:44:15.839
the future. I actually don't have an ETA on that yet.

00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:21.440
All right. Uh, what have we got next? Oh, this is interesting. So, this was

00:44:17.839 --> 00:44:25.079
posted by Patrick 3027 on the forum. And

00:44:21.440 --> 00:44:30.079
the original article here is from the

00:44:25.079 --> 00:44:31.920
BBC. Computers do not improve pupil

00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:37.440
results, says the organization for economic cooperations and development.

00:44:35.200 --> 00:44:43.440
So, here's the forum post over there, and let's go ahead and pull this baby

00:44:39.319 --> 00:44:45.920
up. H so investing heavily in school

00:44:43.440 --> 00:44:50.440
computers and classroom technology does not improve pupils performance says a

00:44:48.560 --> 00:44:55.760
global study from the OECD. The think tank says frequent use

00:44:53.440 --> 00:45:03.880
of computers in schools is more likely to be associated with lower

00:44:59.480 --> 00:45:07.240
results. That is very interesting.

00:45:03.880 --> 00:45:09.920
Um so Tom Bennett

00:45:07.240 --> 00:45:15.760
um a government expert on pupil behavior said that teachers have been dazzled by

00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:17.920
school computers. So the the report from

00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:22.319
the OECD examines the impact of school technology on international test results

00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:27.920
such as the Pisa test taken in more than 70 countries and tests measuring digital

00:45:25.280 --> 00:45:31.680
skills. So, an average daily minutes for countries using the internet at school

00:45:29.520 --> 00:45:36.000
graph is available right here. Also on the

00:45:33.480 --> 00:45:42.240
BBC see if we can find it. Yep, here we go. So, your top five average daily

00:45:38.960 --> 00:45:44.640
minutes using internet at school. Okay.

00:45:42.240 --> 00:45:48.720
And then let me see. Number of students per school computer. Top five, bottom

00:45:47.280 --> 00:45:54.640
five, bunch of really good stuff. You guys should definitely check it out. Here's a link directly to the article.

00:45:52.160 --> 00:46:01.200
But I guess I would like to bring up a few things that it feels like we're

00:45:59.079 --> 00:46:04.960
overlooked a little bit here. Okay, so Singapore with only moderate use of

00:46:02.720 --> 00:46:08.640
technology in school is top for digital skills,

00:46:05.960 --> 00:46:13.760
but okay, we're we're I I went to Singapore quite recently and what I'll

00:46:10.480 --> 00:46:17.599
tell you about Singapore is that is one

00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:20.800
wealthy ass country. Okay, straight up.

00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:23.880
That is that is that is a like a a an

00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:27.520
elite of the elite

00:46:23.880 --> 00:46:31.280
haven. And I mean everything from how

00:46:27.520 --> 00:46:32.960
totally unaffordable cars are to, you

00:46:31.280 --> 00:46:38.200
know, if you don't want to live in the government funded housing to how totally

00:46:35.480 --> 00:46:44.160
unaffordable property is like Singapore. What I'm trying to say is

00:46:41.800 --> 00:46:47.119
that they're using their computers at home if they're not using them at school

00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:53.520
and developing digital skills that way. You don't get computer skills by not

00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:56.720
investing in computer technology in the

00:46:53.520 --> 00:46:58.560
education system. Like the fact that I

00:46:56.720 --> 00:47:03.760
know anything about computers. I was introduced to computers at school. Okay,

00:47:02.240 --> 00:47:09.200
you can't just not have it at all. And I'm not saying that everything should be

00:47:05.680 --> 00:47:10.560
on an iPad either. I genuinely don't

00:47:09.200 --> 00:47:15.680
think that that's the right approach. And I think there is a value to working

00:47:12.800 --> 00:47:19.760
with a pen or a pencil and a piece of paper. But, and I guess this is part of

00:47:18.160 --> 00:47:24.240
what the report is saying, you have to strike a happy medium. I guess just the

00:47:21.920 --> 00:47:28.960
part that I feel like was missed here is that it's not necessarily about, you

00:47:26.640 --> 00:47:34.800
know, internet use or computer use. It's about smart computer use. Like, you

00:47:32.240 --> 00:47:39.839
know, that uh that news that broke a little while ago about China investing

00:47:36.720 --> 00:47:42.160
heavily in 3D printers in their schools.

00:47:39.839 --> 00:47:47.280
That makes a ton of sense to me. You could tell me that my kid is going to

00:47:44.400 --> 00:47:53.760
have an, you know, an hour block two times a week every week on, you know,

00:47:50.160 --> 00:47:56.720
uh, digital 3D modeling and 3D printing

00:47:53.760 --> 00:48:02.079
and design. And I would say, is that it like is that enough? because that is the

00:47:59.920 --> 00:48:06.480
future. Whereas, you know, if you're just kind of, you know, giving students

00:48:04.560 --> 00:48:12.720
access to computers and these kind of like hokey educational software programs

00:48:10.319 --> 00:48:17.839
that are like here is an onscreen, you know, keyboard,

00:48:15.160 --> 00:48:21.920
piano. Oh, you learned a thing. Yay. Where it's basically just a game and the

00:48:20.240 --> 00:48:26.319
the the skills that are being introduced are very very rudimentary. Um or you

00:48:24.400 --> 00:48:29.119
know like like when when and I don't know how much it's changed and I'm going

00:48:27.680 --> 00:48:32.880
to learn all these things now that my kids are finally getting to school age

00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:36.640
but like when we had computer lab time we were doing crap like playing Oregon

00:48:34.720 --> 00:48:39.640
Trail and you could make the argument you know oh well there's historical

00:48:38.079 --> 00:48:46.400
value there learning about the settlers or

00:48:42.400 --> 00:48:48.079
some crap or whatever but like come on

00:48:46.400 --> 00:48:53.760
it's not like we couldn't have covered everything that there is to know in that

00:48:50.960 --> 00:48:59.119
game in like a couple of a couple of lessons and then moved on to to

00:48:55.520 --> 00:49:01.680
something else. So, I don't know, man.

00:48:59.119 --> 00:49:06.040
There's uh education is changing cuz I mean, here's another thing that I'll

00:49:03.119 --> 00:49:14.079
kind of throw at you guys. Like, I actually limit um fairly strictly my

00:49:10.559 --> 00:49:15.920
son's access to screens. I don't think

00:49:14.079 --> 00:49:20.319
that a three-year-old needs to spend a ton of time playing video games,

00:49:17.520 --> 00:49:23.760
watching movies, um or otherwise sitting still. I think they need to be running

00:49:21.760 --> 00:49:28.800
around. I think they need to be building towers out of blocks. I think they need

00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:30.559
to be doing hands-on things because, and

00:49:28.800 --> 00:49:34.720
you know, you hear the opposite argument a lot. You know, well, how will they be

00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:39.839
prepared for the digital age and the devices and the blah blah blah? Come on,

00:49:36.960 --> 00:49:44.079
get real. That stuff is so intuitive and so fun that he's going to do that crap

00:49:42.319 --> 00:49:49.280
on his own without any encouragement from me whatsoever. The world we live in

00:49:46.559 --> 00:49:55.440
now is so connected digitally that he's not even ever going to think about, you

00:49:52.960 --> 00:50:02.480
know, physical media. You know, the concept of of a of a file in a folder on

00:49:59.119 --> 00:50:04.800
on a a drive or in the cloud somewhere

00:50:02.480 --> 00:50:07.720
is going to be completely second nature to him. I don't have to teach him that

00:50:06.319 --> 00:50:14.480
crap. Um, so anyway, with all of that said, in

00:50:11.760 --> 00:50:20.480
the limited amount of time that he has spent, you know, on YouTube or um

00:50:18.480 --> 00:50:27.400
actually most mostly YouTube, now that I think about it, the kid is three and can

00:50:24.480 --> 00:50:32.800
already read a fair amount. And I I I will say straight up,

00:50:31.520 --> 00:50:38.760
I'm going to I'm going to give these guys a shout out. I think it's called

00:50:34.880 --> 00:50:41.119
like Kids TV123 or some crap like that.

00:50:38.760 --> 00:50:45.880
Uh, let me see if I can find it. Yep, Kids

00:50:42.359 --> 00:50:48.400
TV123. This YouTube channel,

00:50:45.880 --> 00:50:54.760
man. As far as I can tell, they taught my kid basically everything he knows.

00:50:50.480 --> 00:50:58.079
And I can sing their phonics song off by

00:50:54.760 --> 00:51:00.599
heart. Pretty pretty darn good here. A

00:50:58.079 --> 00:51:07.280
is for apple. Aapp is for ball. BBB. And you know what

00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:12.640
I mean? My my kid is not only It's really funny. We um we did an

00:51:08.880 --> 00:51:15.040
orientation for his prechool a couple

00:51:12.640 --> 00:51:18.480
weeks ago and the the teacher was saying, you know, oh, I had a really

00:51:16.960 --> 00:51:22.079
advanced student once that knew the whole alphabet, but this is more of just

00:51:20.160 --> 00:51:25.280
like a play and get familiar with the concept of a classroom program. It's at

00:51:23.599 --> 00:51:29.200
the local community center. Anyway, I was like, sorry, you had a pupil who

00:51:27.119 --> 00:51:35.079
knows the alphabet. He's known the full alphabet and all the phonetic sounds of

00:51:31.200 --> 00:51:38.599
all the letters since he was two. Um, so

00:51:35.079 --> 00:51:41.200
yeah, thank you YouTube, I guess.

00:51:38.599 --> 00:51:45.280
So, I didn't really lay down a firm opinion on any of that, did I? I guess

00:51:43.200 --> 00:51:50.400
what I was trying to say is it's not clear-cut. and the conclusions that

00:51:47.440 --> 00:51:55.599
especially some readers of the BBC article and other articles about this um

00:51:53.440 --> 00:51:59.839
are drawing that like oh you know there's a negative correlation between

00:51:57.599 --> 00:52:03.680
computer time and results are not necessarily accurate because it's way

00:52:01.760 --> 00:52:08.960
more to do with how the computer time is being used and yeah how the computer

00:52:07.040 --> 00:52:14.079
time is being used like I really don't think that doing addition on an iPad

00:52:11.839 --> 00:52:20.319
brings anything to the table versus doing addition on a piece of paper and a

00:52:16.920 --> 00:52:21.920
pencil. Um, but you know, things like

00:52:20.319 --> 00:52:28.319
like a 3D modeling class or whatever else, like 3D 3D art, sign me and all my

00:52:26.000 --> 00:52:32.640
kids up and I I wouldn't mind, you know, having him come home and show me his

00:52:29.680 --> 00:52:32.640
homework, that kind of stuff,

00:52:33.000 --> 00:52:41.200
too. All right. Oh, cool. Oh, never mind. That's

00:52:39.680 --> 00:52:48.079
embargoed. I was about to tell you guys a thing, and I will not be doing that.

00:52:45.200 --> 00:52:52.480
Oh, fly just hit me in the head. Intel launches and this is uh this is

00:52:50.640 --> 00:52:57.520
definitely something that I'm happy to hear about. Let's go ahead and post this

00:52:54.880 --> 00:53:03.119
in Twitch chat. Man, I am loving my internet connection right now. We just

00:52:59.040 --> 00:53:05.760
upgraded to Gigabit up and down and I'm

00:53:03.119 --> 00:53:10.400
like super stoked on super stoked on my life right now. Uh automotive security

00:53:08.319 --> 00:53:15.119
review board to ensure the cyber security of cars. This is something we

00:53:13.200 --> 00:53:20.880
don't appreciate enough about Intel. Sometimes it's not all about how fast

00:53:18.559 --> 00:53:25.680
can you make the transistor switch and like, you know, how much cash can you

00:53:23.359 --> 00:53:31.040
stick on there. They're involved in a lot of bigger picture stuff that we all

00:53:28.240 --> 00:53:35.920
benefit from whether we buy Intel CPUs or not. So, the reports of hacked cars,

00:53:34.720 --> 00:53:42.119
in fact, we've talked about it on the WAN Show, have been pretty regular lately with about one in five vehicles

00:53:39.680 --> 00:53:48.000
on the road worldwide. um sort of projected to have some kind

00:53:44.880 --> 00:53:50.640
of wireless network connection by 2020.

00:53:48.000 --> 00:53:55.440
Meaning more than 250 million connected vehicles could potentially be affected

00:53:52.880 --> 00:53:59.920
by these issues that have been showing up in the news like really more often

00:53:58.240 --> 00:54:04.640
than we'd like in the last little bit. This is all according to Gartner. uh

00:54:02.160 --> 00:54:09.520
Intel so then announced the formation of the automotive security review board the

00:54:06.559 --> 00:54:14.160
ASRB which aims to lessen and address autocyber security risks. So their

00:54:12.000 --> 00:54:18.640
research ARM is tasked with performing continuous security tests and

00:54:15.760 --> 00:54:23.280
inspections and will pick from top security industry talent and Intel has

00:54:21.520 --> 00:54:28.400
also published the first white paper version of the automotive security best

00:54:26.000 --> 00:54:32.800
practices. They will provide incentives by awarding a new car to the researcher

00:54:31.359 --> 00:54:37.319
that makes the most significant contributions in advancing automobile

00:54:34.880 --> 00:54:42.079
cyber security. Well, dang, man. I wish I had

00:54:40.559 --> 00:54:48.000
that kind of capability. I could use a new car, as many of you probably know.

00:54:46.000 --> 00:54:51.760
On the subject of a new car for Linus, let's talk about the sponsors for

00:54:49.440 --> 00:54:57.359
today's show. That's actually pretty funny. Uh

00:54:54.720 --> 00:55:03.119
Squarespace. So, okay. Do you guys know what Squarespace is? Let's see. Twitch

00:55:00.680 --> 00:55:07.359
chat. Okay, whatever. There's a delay, so I'm sure they're all going to tell me

00:55:04.800 --> 00:55:11.200
they do. Uh, Squarespace is the place to go if you want to build yourself a

00:55:08.880 --> 00:55:15.440
beautiful looking website that is also extremely functional and not to mention

00:55:13.760 --> 00:55:20.160
easy to use. They've got state-of-the-art technology. It's all

00:55:17.920 --> 00:55:24.559
cloud-based. So, all of your website management is just as simple as signing

00:55:22.559 --> 00:55:28.960
into a portal with your credentials and then you can just kind of like add

00:55:26.640 --> 00:55:33.119
modules or remove them. You can edit text, change out pictures. Um, you can

00:55:31.520 --> 00:55:38.559
add items if you So, they've got a lot of different templates. So, if it's just a companyformational website like ours,

00:55:37.040 --> 00:55:43.119
you know, we can update our address when we move, we can add new employees, do

00:55:40.960 --> 00:55:46.000
simple stuff like that. or depending on what you're trying to build. If you have

00:55:44.319 --> 00:55:50.000
like a portfolio, you can add all your latest work really easily, keep it

00:55:48.079 --> 00:55:53.440
organized. If you're building a store, you can add new items, take away ones

00:55:51.920 --> 00:56:00.160
that are sold, all that kind of cool stuff. And it starts at only $8 a month

00:55:57.680 --> 00:56:05.119
with a free domain thrown in if you sign up for a year. Um, I yeah, I guess what

00:56:03.839 --> 00:56:12.000
is there to really say about it other than that? linusmedia.com to my knowledge has never

00:56:08.559 --> 00:56:13.920
gone down in the like two years that

00:56:12.000 --> 00:56:19.599
we've been working with Squarespace and had our site powered by them. So, highly

00:56:16.720 --> 00:56:22.720
recommended Squarespace. Uh you can and you don't have to commit right away with

00:56:21.119 --> 00:56:26.960
no credit card required. You can sign up for a free trial and start building your

00:56:24.880 --> 00:56:31.599
website. They have 24/7 tech support and you can find out if it works for you.

00:56:28.640 --> 00:56:36.720
So, use offer code Linus to save 10% on your first order.

00:56:34.559 --> 00:56:41.680
Sponsor number two, it's Tunnel Bear, the easytouse privacy app for mobile and

00:56:39.599 --> 00:56:47.119
desktop. So, it's available on iOS, Android, Mac, PC, Chrome. You can tunnel

00:56:45.280 --> 00:56:51.760
to 14 different countries, allowing you to browse the internet as if you were in

00:56:49.359 --> 00:56:57.480
that country. So, a lot of people use this for things like avoiding geo

00:56:54.359 --> 00:57:00.640
restrictions on certain content.

00:56:57.480 --> 00:57:02.000
Um it'sah. So basically you just pick

00:57:00.640 --> 00:57:06.240
your country within the app. You turn Tunnel Bear on and your internet

00:57:03.680 --> 00:57:10.720
connection gets fully encrypted. You don't have to be technical to use or

00:57:07.920 --> 00:57:15.680
install Tunnel Bear. In fact, their uh all their communication is very

00:57:13.520 --> 00:57:19.520
friendly, you know, very mainstream friendly. They have a plain English

00:57:17.440 --> 00:57:24.160
privacy policy which is really important when you're selecting a VPN because your

00:57:21.200 --> 00:57:29.200
data straight up goes through them like okay they are they are actually an

00:57:26.520 --> 00:57:33.760
intermediary between you and whatever else you're communicating with. They've

00:57:31.119 --> 00:57:38.480
got 5 million users and you can try it out for free. Tunnel Bear gives you 500

00:57:35.839 --> 00:57:42.319
megabytes of data for free every month and you get an extra Gigabyte if you

00:57:40.640 --> 00:57:47.880
tweet at them. So, if you need more data, prices for unlimited plans start

00:57:44.000 --> 00:57:50.799
at $6.99 per month. Download it

00:57:47.880 --> 00:57:55.280
today. This side, I think. There we go. Uh, blah blah blah blah.

00:57:53.720 --> 00:57:59.040
Tunnelbearer.com/LTT. I don't know if some of you have noticed, but we've

00:57:56.720 --> 00:58:04.040
actually started upgrading the set here on uh here on the WAN Show, which I

00:58:02.079 --> 00:58:09.359
think is pretty cool. Um Esther is actually here in the warehouse working

00:58:06.720 --> 00:58:12.480
on the Linus Tech Tip set, but we've got a number of other things including like

00:58:10.960 --> 00:58:16.000
an old sewing machine and all kinds of junk that we're planning to add to the

00:58:14.079 --> 00:58:19.440
back to make the W show uh to make the W show look better. So I had a few people

00:58:17.839 --> 00:58:22.880
say, "Hey, the new set looks great, except that like it's really plain

00:58:21.200 --> 00:58:26.559
looking." Don't worry, we're working on it. And speaking of working on

00:58:27.240 --> 00:58:32.720
it, if you find yourself working on things and you don't have the right

00:58:31.119 --> 00:58:38.880
tool, you might just want to get yourself one of these puppies. This is

00:58:36.000 --> 00:58:44.400
the repair business tool kit. It contains pretty much every iix it thing

00:58:41.599 --> 00:58:48.880
that we have ever shown off before. So, the magnetic mat with the uh correctable

00:58:46.799 --> 00:58:52.960
pen so you can label all the screws and junk that you're using as you put

00:58:50.960 --> 00:58:58.880
together or take apart a device. They've got the the ProTek tool kit, which I use

00:58:56.640 --> 00:59:03.280
I would say at least four days out of seven a week. Like seriously, I use this

00:59:01.119 --> 00:59:07.040
thing all the time, whether it's just like I need, you know, some ESD safe

00:59:05.119 --> 00:59:11.599
tweezers or an unusual screwdriver bit or whatever. They're whatever this one's

00:59:09.599 --> 00:59:15.280
called, something something tech tools tool kit. So, this is basically just a

00:59:13.680 --> 00:59:20.559
screwdriver set with a lot of the stuff that you're likely to find when you're

00:59:18.000 --> 00:59:24.480
uh disassembling or assembling uh electronics. Um, the difference between

00:59:22.799 --> 00:59:28.160
these ones and the ProTek tool kit is this is all the really tiny bits and

00:59:26.559 --> 00:59:32.240
these ones have nice rubber grips on them so you can really crank them. Uh,

00:59:30.720 --> 00:59:35.920
what is this? Yeah, this is just a box for another Protek to Tool Kit. Way to

00:59:33.760 --> 00:59:39.760
go, guys. Doesn't come with two ProTek tool kits. Bunch of other stuff in here.

00:59:38.079 --> 00:59:44.960
There's like a screen cleaner. There's like a little a little blower for

00:59:42.640 --> 00:59:50.640
cleaning dust out of junk. They got their suction cups for pulling screens

00:59:47.520 --> 00:59:53.359
off things. An ESD safe work mat. All

00:59:50.640 --> 00:59:58.400
kinds of great stuff in there. And uh basically you can use offer code WAN

00:59:56.040 --> 01:00:01.319
show. That's funny. I put it behind the screen. I was trying to point at Wan

00:59:59.440 --> 01:00:06.720
Show. I'm like my finger is disappearing. Where's it going? That was

01:00:04.160 --> 01:00:14.319
so funny. There we go. Uh so use offer code Wow and you can save $10 off a

01:00:09.520 --> 01:00:17.119
purchase of $50 or more. Um you can buy

01:00:14.319 --> 01:00:21.839
it for yourself or this is actually this is a suggestion from iFixit. you can go

01:00:19.599 --> 01:00:26.240
ahead and give it to someone as a gift. And that's actually an extremely good

01:00:23.599 --> 01:00:30.799
idea. So, it's September, so I know it's a little early for Christmas, but how

01:00:28.960 --> 01:00:34.960
thrilled would the geek in your family be? That is assuming that you're not the

01:00:33.200 --> 01:00:39.440
geek in your family, or you know, one of them at least. How thrilled would the

01:00:36.640 --> 01:00:45.040
geek in your family be if they got uh a toolkit like that for Christmas? Pretty

01:00:42.720 --> 01:00:49.839
cool stuff. Everyone's giving me crap about the Where's My Finger thing. Come

01:00:46.680 --> 01:00:51.680
on. I can't be an expert on everything,

01:00:49.839 --> 01:00:56.000
you know, and things being in front of other things. That's some complicated

01:00:53.200 --> 01:01:01.880
stuff right there. Uh, what else we got for Oh, this is great. So, the OP here

01:00:58.559 --> 01:01:05.160
is Prof over on the forum. Fan

01:01:01.880 --> 01:01:07.599
freakingtastic friends. Uh,

01:01:05.160 --> 01:01:12.040
so I actually, okay, I haven't looked too much into this one yet, but the

01:01:09.200 --> 01:01:18.559
original article here is from CBC. Robot ethicist calls for ban on sex

01:01:16.559 --> 01:01:25.839
robots. Now, we've talked about this on the show before. There are some pretty

01:01:23.160 --> 01:01:30.640
like I don't know what to say. I don't want to be offensive, but for me

01:01:28.240 --> 01:01:36.599
personally, so take it as, you know, my personal, you know, ignorant hate speech

01:01:33.119 --> 01:01:39.440
or whatever, some pretty

01:01:36.599 --> 01:01:45.599
creepy sex toys out there, like some pretty weird stuff where, you know, they

01:01:43.040 --> 01:01:51.200
want to use AI to make the interaction seem like the toy is enjoying it. And,

01:01:48.640 --> 01:01:55.119
you know, super realistic heads and super realistic bodies. And I'll tell

01:01:53.040 --> 01:01:58.960
you, when I was over in Japan just kind of walking around in stores, I found

01:01:57.359 --> 01:02:02.720
some stuff that I was just like, "Wow, really?" Um, so maybe I just live under

01:02:00.880 --> 01:02:08.319
a rock and this is all like totally totally normal stuff. But, uh, Dr. Dr.

01:02:05.839 --> 01:02:14.960
Richardson, Dr. Kathleen Richardson is a robot ethicist at Deontford University

01:02:10.799 --> 01:02:18.079
in Lychester and she believes that these

01:02:14.960 --> 01:02:21.040
robot sex dolls reinforce traditional

01:02:18.079 --> 01:02:24.920
stereotypes of women and view that it is a

01:02:22.119 --> 01:02:29.680
relationship that oh right so this this like sort of

01:02:27.280 --> 01:02:34.720
traditional stereotype of women and and a view that a relationship doesn't need

01:02:31.599 --> 01:02:36.480
to be anything more than physical. Um,

01:02:34.720 --> 01:02:41.520
so sex dolls on the market are becoming more sophisticated. Um, so company,

01:02:39.359 --> 01:02:46.240
there's a company called True Companion that boasts that it's developing the

01:02:43.119 --> 01:02:49.359
world's first sex robot and promises to

01:02:46.240 --> 01:02:52.079
launch its first doll, Roxy with 3X's,

01:02:49.359 --> 01:02:56.119
of course, later this year. There are apparently thousands of pre-orders at a

01:02:54.240 --> 01:03:02.079
retail price of $7,000. With the CEO of True Companion

01:02:59.520 --> 01:03:06.799
commenting, "We are not supplanting the wife or trying to replace a girlfriend.

01:03:04.880 --> 01:03:12.559
This is a solution for people who are between relationships or someone who has

01:03:09.520 --> 01:03:16.799
lost a spouse and wants the doll to be a

01:03:12.559 --> 01:03:16.799
self-learning engine for the

01:03:17.880 --> 01:03:23.359
user." Wow. I think we've actually run

01:03:20.960 --> 01:03:27.760
this straw poll before, but I don't remember the results. And I always love

01:03:25.119 --> 01:03:33.359
to hear from you guys. So, sex doll. And this is going to be a bit of a different

01:03:29.119 --> 01:03:35.039
phrasing of the question. So, is it And

01:03:33.359 --> 01:03:42.160
I want to be really careful with the use of this word because the word wrong

01:03:38.839 --> 01:03:43.520
has a lot of negative connotation, you

01:03:42.160 --> 01:03:50.039
know. Yeah. Let's not go with the word wrong. Let's go with sex

01:03:46.839 --> 01:03:54.640
dolls. agree or

01:03:50.039 --> 01:03:54.640
disagree. Okay, so I'm keeping it very

01:03:55.160 --> 01:04:00.319
general. So basically, do you think and

01:03:58.240 --> 01:04:04.319
and you can interpret this? I leave it open for interpretation a little bit. Do

01:04:01.760 --> 01:04:07.599
you think people should should buy them? Do you think people should make them? Do

01:04:06.240 --> 01:04:13.119
you think people should be allowed to buy them? Should be allowed to make

01:04:09.359 --> 01:04:15.599
them? like do you think do you agree or

01:04:13.119 --> 01:04:20.319
do you not agree? They they should or they should not at all. And I and I know

01:04:18.720 --> 01:04:24.240
that I hope most of you kind of get what I mean. So here we go. Let's have a look

01:04:22.480 --> 01:04:29.119
at the results for that straw poll in a little bit and I'll go ahead and move on

01:04:25.760 --> 01:04:29.119
to my next

01:04:29.640 --> 01:04:38.640
topic. This is this is so awesome. So the original poster here is Al

01:04:35.960 --> 01:04:43.520
Jolina. I straight up have no idea how to pronounce that. I'm going to go ahead

01:04:39.920 --> 01:04:43.520
and throw that link in

01:04:44.200 --> 01:04:52.119
there. I'm losing track of my links here. There we go. So, the original

01:04:49.520 --> 01:05:01.280
article here is from Phone Arena. The Sony Z5 Premium apparently only renders

01:04:56.319 --> 01:05:02.720
media in 4K and the rest in 1080p for a

01:05:01.280 --> 01:05:08.680
two-day battery. And I can tell you right now, I'm not getting two days out of that battery. And I'm sure a lot of

01:05:05.599 --> 01:05:11.440
people aren't. but you know maybe maybe

01:05:08.680 --> 01:05:17.599
someone does or whatever. So there was a lot of concern about the absolutely

01:05:14.640 --> 01:05:21.200
unbelievable like a lot of people I talked to didn't even believe the rumors

01:05:19.280 --> 01:05:29.119
that it was going to have a 4K display. So the astounding 800 plus pixel per

01:05:24.799 --> 01:05:31.359
inch density that is a huge first like

01:05:29.119 --> 01:05:36.720
way far and away from others. The Galaxy S6 for example has 577 pixels per inch.

01:05:35.200 --> 01:05:40.960
A lot of people are saying there's no way that's true because a it would be

01:05:39.280 --> 01:05:46.000
impossible to manufacture in any reasonable volume with reasonable yields

01:05:43.440 --> 01:05:51.839
so at a reasonable price and b because no one is asking for this. Nobody wants

01:05:48.640 --> 01:05:55.280
this. There's no benefit to the end user

01:05:51.839 --> 01:05:58.480
to having a high resolution display that

01:05:55.280 --> 01:06:01.200
just sucks more power not only itself

01:05:58.480 --> 01:06:06.880
but also from the components that are trying to drive it. Like if you're going

01:06:03.039 --> 01:06:09.559
to try and game on mobile in 4K, even

01:06:06.880 --> 01:06:13.119
though the graphics are not that detailed, you're going to you're just

01:06:11.359 --> 01:06:18.520
going to run out of frame buffer. Like you're just going to run out of memory.

01:06:14.640 --> 01:06:23.559
It's just not a good idea. So there you

01:06:18.520 --> 01:06:26.720
go. Um they showed 10 so they show 1080p

01:06:23.559 --> 01:06:28.799
resolution for for the for the like the

01:06:26.720 --> 01:06:33.200
actual so so what it'll show to an application is 1080p resolution. So

01:06:30.480 --> 01:06:41.839
it'll render at 1080p rather than the display's actual 2160x 3840 pixel

01:06:37.720 --> 01:06:44.240
count. So this does raise some concerns

01:06:41.839 --> 01:06:47.280
about whether the display will look good running at a non-native resolution,

01:06:45.839 --> 01:06:53.119
something that is definitely an advantage for any pixelbased display,

01:06:49.520 --> 01:06:57.119
whether it's LCD or uh OLED or whatever

01:06:53.119 --> 01:06:58.880
else the case may be. But um as long as

01:06:57.119 --> 01:07:02.599
they handle it correctly, I really don't think that's a huge issue. I guess for

01:07:01.200 --> 01:07:07.920
me, I'm just sort of scratching my head. So, as

01:07:05.359 --> 01:07:13.680
someone who already doesn't believe we need 1440p at 5 1/2 in, I'm I'm I'm

01:07:12.160 --> 01:07:19.280
really scratching my head as to why we're even bothered with this. So, it's

01:07:15.680 --> 01:07:22.240
got a 3430 mAh battery, which I call

01:07:19.280 --> 01:07:27.039
total BS on the 2A battery life with, by the way. and we're throwing a 4K display

01:07:24.880 --> 01:07:30.079
at it, which straight up, I mean, I've talked about Retina already on this

01:07:28.720 --> 01:07:35.039
show. Sort of the Retina display concept, which already we won't be able

01:07:32.400 --> 01:07:39.760
to tell, especially because where are you guys getting 4K like good quality 4K

01:07:37.760 --> 01:07:42.799
content on your phones? And like, I don't know. There there's a hund there's

01:07:41.039 --> 01:07:47.760
a hundred reasons I can think of why this is why this is totally stupid. But

01:07:45.680 --> 01:07:52.880
if you wanted to be a baller and have the first 4K phone display, then I guess

01:07:50.000 --> 01:07:57.119
you can pick up a Z5 Premium. And I'm I I haven't uh I haven't really managed to

01:07:55.760 --> 01:08:00.200
make a point here, but I guess there just isn't really one. Let's go back to

01:07:58.960 --> 01:08:08.240
the sex dolls. Here we go. Sex dolls. Agree or

01:08:04.359 --> 01:08:11.119
disagree? So, uh a significant 54% of

01:08:08.240 --> 01:08:19.040
you figure what the hey, bring it on. Sex dolls. um with 20% of you

01:08:15.719 --> 01:08:21.520
um maybe having concerns about whether

01:08:19.040 --> 01:08:27.120
people will bother to maintain traditional relationships if they have

01:08:23.520 --> 01:08:28.719
the option of just having a sex doll and

01:08:27.120 --> 01:08:33.040
fulfilling those particular needs. I mean, let's let's let's let's be honest

01:08:30.719 --> 01:08:36.480
with ourselves. you know, a fair amount of the effort that we put into, you

01:08:34.960 --> 01:08:44.080
know, combing our hair in the morning and not smelling bad is about trying to

01:08:40.880 --> 01:08:46.400
attract a mate. Um, so if we feel like

01:08:44.080 --> 01:08:51.679
we don't have to bother, then you know, are we Well, apparently only 20% of you

01:08:48.480 --> 01:08:54.799
care about that with 26% of you figuring

01:08:51.679 --> 01:08:56.359
turnip is the only response there with

01:08:54.799 --> 01:09:05.640
any merit. All right.

01:08:59.440 --> 01:09:08.400
Oh, this is just such a bummer for

01:09:05.640 --> 01:09:14.279
AMD. Here we go. I went ahead and posted that there. Uh, the original article

01:09:10.560 --> 01:09:20.080
here is from WCCF

01:09:14.279 --> 01:09:22.159
Tech. Jim Keller has left AMD. Oh, can

01:09:20.080 --> 01:09:28.319
you not, please? Thank you. Jim Keller has left AMD. So, uh, he was well known

01:09:25.120 --> 01:09:30.239
for having a a a heavy hand. Well, no,

01:09:28.319 --> 01:09:37.839
heavy hand has a particular meaning. So, having his hands directly on AMD's K7

01:09:33.839 --> 01:09:40.319
and K8 series microprocessors. So, that

01:09:37.839 --> 01:09:47.600
was really the heyday of AMD, you guys. Like, AMD rode K8. I mean, a lot of what

01:09:44.400 --> 01:09:50.799
they did with K8, um, you know, after

01:09:47.600 --> 01:09:53.040
Jim Keller left was just like adding

01:09:50.799 --> 01:09:57.040
glue to the design that was already there. like you know it's like oh well

01:09:55.280 --> 01:10:01.120
we've got like uh we got like one of these K8 cores why don't we like do two

01:09:59.120 --> 01:10:06.239
now because we have a you know smaller manufacturing process. Um so he actually

01:10:04.000 --> 01:10:13.679
left uh in 1998 and was involved in Apple's

01:10:09.760 --> 01:10:16.960
A4 and A5 SOC's after joining Apple in

01:10:13.679 --> 01:10:20.960
2008. So yeah he has worked on some

01:10:16.960 --> 01:10:24.840
pretty bigname stuff. So he came back to

01:10:20.960 --> 01:10:27.520
AMD in 2012 to work on their to work on

01:10:24.840 --> 01:10:34.080
basically digging them out of the hole that they were in for desktop CPU

01:10:30.320 --> 01:10:38.320
performance. So, um, code name Zen,

01:10:34.080 --> 01:10:42.560
AMD's upcoming x86 cores are targeting a

01:10:38.320 --> 01:10:45.440
40% improvement in per clock performance

01:10:42.560 --> 01:10:49.159
over AMD's previous generation processors, which, let's just face it,

01:10:48.080 --> 01:10:55.840
have absolutely stunk. Like AMD managed to

01:10:52.719 --> 01:10:57.520
take the uh, what was like the last like

01:10:55.840 --> 01:11:02.080
sort of compelling one? I guess you could say the 1100T was their last six

01:11:00.320 --> 01:11:08.480
core. They managed to introduce 8 core processors that legitimately had lower

01:11:05.520 --> 01:11:12.320
IPC than their previous six core and like it hasn't really gotten any better

01:11:10.159 --> 01:11:16.400
from there. I mean we keep getting you know better on board graphics which you

01:11:14.560 --> 01:11:21.040
know AMD was really banging that drum like yeah we got APUs we got APUs we got

01:11:18.719 --> 01:11:25.600
APUs and by the time anyone cares and by the time any applications leverage this

01:11:23.280 --> 01:11:29.360
Intel's going to have onboard graphics that are like as good or better. Oh

01:11:27.520 --> 01:11:35.280
crap. What are we going to do now? So, um, it looks like the plan, you know, in

01:11:32.239 --> 01:11:38.159
2012 was to bring back the CPU on the

01:11:35.280 --> 01:11:43.600
AMD side and and and hit it hard. And so, he's been there for a few years now

01:11:40.080 --> 01:11:46.560
working on that. And, uh, now he's gone.

01:11:43.600 --> 01:11:51.920
Now, with that said, something a lot of people don't really understand is that a

01:11:49.520 --> 01:11:58.159
CPU or a graphics processor, you know, any of these types of products is being

01:11:54.320 --> 01:12:00.800
worked on literally for years. So, if

01:11:58.159 --> 01:12:06.560
Zen is going to launch in 2016, I think Q4 is the current rumor. If Zen is going

01:12:03.360 --> 01:12:08.920
to launch in quarter 4 of 2016,

01:12:06.560 --> 01:12:14.679
um, and he's been working on it since 2012, probably so much of the groundwork

01:12:12.320 --> 01:12:20.960
has been laid at this point that him leaving could have little to no impact

01:12:17.440 --> 01:12:22.320
on Zen. So, I've seen a lot of people,

01:12:20.960 --> 01:12:28.480
you know, knee-jerk reactions to this going, "Oh, no, AMD is doomed. They're not going to have Zen. They're not going

01:12:25.120 --> 01:12:32.800
to have a processor. Um, that's that's

01:12:28.480 --> 01:12:34.560
totally not not going to be the case. I

01:12:32.800 --> 01:12:38.800
I hope I mean I can't say Zen's not doomed, but what I'll say is that Jim

01:12:36.560 --> 01:12:43.320
Keller leaving now is probably not going to be the reason for Zen to be doomed if

01:12:40.880 --> 01:12:47.800
it does end up being doomed. Um, however, we look at what happened

01:12:46.880 --> 01:12:52.719
last time he worked on a project over there

01:12:50.560 --> 01:12:58.239
and then we left and then it was like kind of super bad after that. Um, I'm

01:12:55.840 --> 01:13:02.640
not saying that won't happen again, but I mean, it's not like he also hasn't

01:12:59.760 --> 01:13:06.560
been there working with his team for a few years, you know, hopefully training

01:13:04.560 --> 01:13:11.040
people. I'm not saying obviously that he's the only person who worked on Zen.

01:13:08.800 --> 01:13:16.159
We've got an extraordinarily skilled team of engineers over at AMD. So, you

01:13:13.520 --> 01:13:21.600
know, it's not it is not a one-man job designing a CPU. So, there you go. Read

01:13:19.440 --> 01:13:28.280
into it however much or however little you want, but he's gone. And uh that's a

01:13:25.679 --> 01:13:35.560
bummer. Speaking of things that are a bummer, this is like, do you not charge

01:13:33.440 --> 01:13:40.000
us enough already? You know, our original article

01:13:38.320 --> 01:13:46.560
here is from RS Technica. Let's go ahead and pull this up. Are you not already

01:13:43.040 --> 01:13:49.760
sucking us dry? Empty Epson ink

01:13:46.560 --> 01:13:51.320
cartridges have been discovered to be

01:13:49.760 --> 01:13:54.960
still 20% full.

01:13:55.640 --> 01:14:04.159
20%. So high-end. And this is this is not like your cheapo consumer like we

01:14:01.199 --> 01:14:10.880
need to bill you for for a couple more dollars, you know, nonsense here. This

01:14:06.640 --> 01:14:13.040
is like this is like high-end printers

01:14:10.880 --> 01:14:19.520
where they're basically just scamming the customer out of 15th of what they

01:14:16.080 --> 01:14:21.520
paid an awful lot of money to have. So,

01:14:19.520 --> 01:14:27.040
this uh so a printing company cut open some cartridges to see how empty they

01:14:24.880 --> 01:14:32.520
really were. So, this is a high-end printer that retails for about

01:14:29.080 --> 01:14:35.840
$3,000 or about

01:14:32.520 --> 01:14:37.600
$5,000. And basically, their comments to

01:14:35.840 --> 01:14:41.520
Epson, which they have made multiple times asking about this, like, hey,

01:14:39.840 --> 01:14:47.120
what's the deal? These are like 15 to 20% full still, um have just gone

01:14:44.880 --> 01:14:53.600
unanswered. So, they still have 60 to 80 mills of ink. When you consider that

01:14:49.600 --> 01:14:56.560
inkjet printer ink is as expensive or

01:14:53.600 --> 01:15:03.120
more than high-end perfume, you better have a freaking good excuse for wasting

01:15:00.080 --> 01:15:06.640
60 to 80 ms of this stuff. And on top of

01:15:03.120 --> 01:15:09.760
that, this is this is hilarious. Um, so

01:15:06.640 --> 01:15:13.040
this printer has something along the

01:15:09.760 --> 01:15:16.560
Yeah, there you go. The Stylus Pro 9900

01:15:13.040 --> 01:15:20.000
has 11 cartridges. So, if you're

01:15:16.560 --> 01:15:21.760
throwing away $50 of ink per cartridge,

01:15:20.000 --> 01:15:24.320
changing out your 11 cartridges, we're talking

01:15:24.440 --> 01:15:30.760
$550. That is so

01:15:28.280 --> 01:15:35.600
rubbish. Like, holy crap. So, uh they're hoping that their

01:15:33.920 --> 01:15:40.960
YouTube video will get them more exposure so that Epson will actually

01:15:38.159 --> 01:15:43.120
have to answer for what they're doing. And I'm going to go ahead. I'm going to

01:15:42.080 --> 01:15:47.199
link that here. You guys should definitely check that out. do share it

01:15:45.520 --> 01:15:50.960
because the more pressure that we can put not just on Epson, the more pressure

01:15:49.440 --> 01:15:55.679
that we can put on ink cartridge companies to accurately report the ink

01:15:53.040 --> 01:15:59.679
in them, the better. And it's not just about reporting. Like, it's one thing to

01:15:58.000 --> 01:16:04.080
have electronic reporting for how much ink is left. That's great. I love that.

01:16:02.400 --> 01:16:08.080
And I even understand if they're going to buffer the reporting and it's going

01:16:05.679 --> 01:16:12.400
to go down to zero when there's actually, you know, 15 to 20% left

01:16:10.239 --> 01:16:17.760
because you can't account for, you know, cleaning cycles or or or whatever. Okay?

01:16:14.880 --> 01:16:20.719
So, there's there's stuff that you might not be able to account for. You're not

01:16:19.120 --> 01:16:25.400
going to get every last drop out of anything. It might cling to the side.

01:16:22.320 --> 01:16:28.800
So, fine. Fine. I understand that.

01:16:25.400 --> 01:16:31.840
But what I don't understand is that you

01:16:28.800 --> 01:16:34.000
don't keep printing until you're done.

01:16:31.840 --> 01:16:40.239
It's like it's like if your car has a fuel gauge that goes to E, you know,

01:16:37.280 --> 01:16:44.880
when it's, you know, pretty empty, which a lot of them do. In fact, consumers

01:16:42.320 --> 01:16:50.199
have said that they prefer that that and and you watch your car. Okay. So, it

01:16:47.120 --> 01:16:55.280
stays on full for a bit and then it kind

01:16:50.199 --> 01:16:57.520
of, you know, blitzes its way for a bit

01:16:55.280 --> 01:17:03.520
and then it kind of hangs around half and then it goes down faster to kind of

01:17:01.679 --> 01:17:07.600
the bottom and then it like hangs out there for a bit and the needle on some

01:17:05.520 --> 01:17:12.159
cars will actually go past the E. Like, it's hilarious. Um, but that doesn't

01:17:10.400 --> 01:17:17.360
mean you stop driving when it hits the E if there's still gas in the tank. Come

01:17:14.159 --> 01:17:18.719
on, man. If I want to like ride my ink

01:17:17.360 --> 01:17:24.239
cartridges to the end, then I should have the right to do

01:17:21.239 --> 01:17:27.040
that. All right, what else we got here?

01:17:24.239 --> 01:17:34.320
Wow, this show has flown by. It's after 6 already. Holy cow. Um, this is cool.

01:17:32.159 --> 01:17:38.679
So, this was posted by Alex goes high on the forum. Let's go ahead and copy that

01:17:36.719 --> 01:17:44.000
link there. Boop. And the original article here is

01:17:41.120 --> 01:17:49.000
from The Verge. Here's our best look yet at BlackBerry's upcoming Android slider.

01:17:47.679 --> 01:17:55.199
This is a phone that could get my attention

01:17:52.080 --> 01:17:58.560
because as much as this marks me as a

01:17:55.199 --> 01:18:02.480
bit of an old guy, I am from the

01:17:58.560 --> 01:18:05.679
physical phone keyboard era. Okay? And I

01:18:02.480 --> 01:18:07.360
still touch type better on a physical

01:18:05.679 --> 01:18:10.640
phone than I do on a touchcreen. I've seen people who can touch type on a

01:18:08.880 --> 01:18:16.080
touchcreen faster than I ever was on a physical phone. And kudos to them. I'm

01:18:13.199 --> 01:18:18.960
not one of them. Maybe partly uh due to the fact that I'm switching phones all

01:18:17.600 --> 01:18:24.000
the time, so the spacing is always changing around on me. But I'm not going to make excuses. I'm better touch typing

01:18:22.400 --> 01:18:29.679
on a physical keyboard than I am on a not physical keyboard. And that looks

01:18:26.880 --> 01:18:33.840
absolutely fantabulous, doesn't it? If you're into the Blackberry Blackberry

01:18:31.520 --> 01:18:37.840
keyboard, see, it's not actually inordinately thick. You might be into

01:18:36.400 --> 01:18:44.480
this particular device. And this hands-on from the Verge is looking pretty good. If other things about it

01:18:40.800 --> 01:18:47.120
are good, this could be this could be a

01:18:44.480 --> 01:18:51.040
winner. So, other specs, it has a 5.4 in quad HD display, a Snapdragon 808

01:18:48.960 --> 01:18:55.840
processor, 3 gigs of RAM, and an 18 megapixel rear camera. To be clear, the

01:18:52.800 --> 01:18:57.719
18 megapixels means nothing. So, let's

01:18:55.840 --> 01:19:01.640
wait until we see some test images from it. Uh, what else we got for rapid fire

01:19:00.480 --> 01:19:06.239
topics today? Uh, Google accidentally launched

01:19:04.400 --> 01:19:11.719
climate change. Uh, this was originally posted by Jaws on the forum. Now, to be

01:19:09.280 --> 01:19:15.520
clear, they didn't change the climate, which is what the headline

01:19:13.920 --> 01:19:19.159
there actually kind of sounds like. And the original article here is from

01:19:17.199 --> 01:19:24.640
Android Headlines. It's great. Our internet is

01:19:21.600 --> 01:19:26.360
so fast now that I always know that it's

01:19:24.640 --> 01:19:32.400
someone else's site that's slow. Awesome. Um, so it's Google Maps

01:19:30.159 --> 01:19:38.480
is testing a climate change feature. And what it basically did, Can I help you?

01:19:34.880 --> 01:19:39.920
Just want to say hi. Oh, okay. Hi. Hi.

01:19:38.480 --> 01:19:46.080
It's not after party. It's still the show. Okay. Well, it's after six.

01:19:43.920 --> 01:19:52.000
Uh, so last Friday, a worst case scenario report was released to the news

01:19:48.320 --> 01:19:54.719
media about the effects of sea levels if

01:19:52.000 --> 01:19:57.840
we burn all of our fossil fuels. On the same day, Google turned on a new feature

01:19:56.480 --> 01:20:04.320
in Google Maps that showed the California coastline underwater with

01:20:00.640 --> 01:20:06.320
just a 2in Ryzen sea levels. So this

01:20:04.320 --> 01:20:11.040
was their attempt to raise awareness about the effects of fossil fuels. The

01:20:09.199 --> 01:20:16.080
Los Angeles area was the only part of the country where this feature was

01:20:13.040 --> 01:20:17.679
turned on and uh Google states that it

01:20:16.080 --> 01:20:21.679
was a coincidence to time it with the worst case scenario report and also

01:20:19.760 --> 01:20:25.880
blames their many map partners for the issue. It's been back to normal since

01:20:23.760 --> 01:20:31.920
last Friday. Um I guess that's pretty much

01:20:28.960 --> 01:20:36.480
it. I I want to thank all of you guys for tuning in to the WAN Show and I will

01:20:34.320 --> 01:20:41.960
see you again next week. Same bat time, same bat channel. This time with no

01:20:39.679 --> 01:20:46.320
technical difficulties. Okay, come on. It was

01:20:43.920 --> 01:20:50.640
pretty minor this week, you guys. Was just a black screen for like a minute.

01:20:48.640 --> 01:20:56.960
It's not that bad, right? I mean, also I guess the intro, which I'm rolling now,

01:20:53.440 --> 01:20:59.679
which I'm trying to roll now, which

01:20:56.960 --> 01:21:06.480
okay, didn't didn't restart on time. Okay, so dang it. Don't remember

01:21:03.360 --> 01:21:08.840
playback position. And then when

01:21:06.480 --> 01:21:14.159
finished, do nothing. And I think we're done here.

01:21:12.400 --> 01:21:17.159
Thanks for watching, guys. See you next week.

01:21:18.199 --> 01:21:24.320
Um, there's the train. Yeah. The one

01:21:22.239 --> 01:21:30.159
drawback of the new studio compared to the old one, the train that goes by

01:21:27.840 --> 01:21:33.880
periodically, like all the time.

01:21:35.120 --> 01:21:42.640
Actually, it's not that bad. Yeah. Yeah.

01:21:38.400 --> 01:21:42.640
A couple times a day. All right.
