1
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:07,440
Um, Lionus is setting up a video upload

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:10,240
right now. Hey, that one's good. Hey, we're in pretty good shape here. We got

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:15,920
our screen capture. We got our Twitter feed. We're one minute late. Come on,

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,680
man. Ah, what are you trying to do to us

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:22,240
here? Hold on. Some of the settings are wrong here. I just got to tweak the color. We're using a different camera

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,760
tonight. Hopefully that uh hopefully that works out pretty well for us in

7
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:29,519
general. How's that look? Looks pretty good. Looks better at least. See, it's

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:33,760
that versus that. That's like way better, right? I wonder if half the

9
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:38,399
problem was our settings in XSplit because that looks much more natural

10
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:46,160
probably. All right, so welcome to the show, guys. Um, as you probably know,

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:51,039
Oh, shoot. Oh, crap. This is on. Go

12
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:52,559
away. Go away. There it went away. Okay.

13
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:56,559
Uh, okay. You know what? Did you talk about the end of the world?

14
00:00:54,559 --> 00:00:58,879
Um, we didn't really prepare anything for this topic, but Lisa thought we

15
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:03,359
should talk about the end of world. By the way, my voice is a little bit messed up because I'm pretty sick. I probably

16
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:09,840
won't be talking way too much this stream, but I will try for now.

17
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:12,799
Um, as most of you know, it was supposed

18
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:16,560
to have been said that the world ended uh today, I think. Yeah, midnight

19
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:22,080
tonight or something like that. Midnight tonight. I thought it was just today in general. Uh, I think it's midnight

20
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,720
tonight. I could be wrong. Okay, so it's supposed to be midnight tonight, but

21
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:31,479
then realistically it's happened a while ago because of like other places in the

22
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:38,159
world. Black screen. All right. Oh.

23
00:01:34,759 --> 00:01:40,680
Oh, there we go. All right. Looks like

24
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:45,200
it's going well. Volume is a little low. People are complaining about the

25
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:51,040
volume. It's probably my voice. Oh, okay. Okay. Uh oh. Where's our remote

26
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:57,040
thing? You got it. Okay. So, the end of the

27
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:00,719
world. Stupidest thing I ever heard. Discuss. I agree. So, this is not going

28
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,640
to be that interesting of a discussion. But there's multiple things like other

29
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:09,759
places on the planet being at different time zones and um the fact that leap

30
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:13,920
years exist, which kind of made it bull crap. Anyways, no, but I thought that

31
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:18,400
the leap year compensation I thought this is the one that factors in the leap

32
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,120
year compensation. Mayan calendar. They didn't have leap years then, right? But

33
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:26,160
I thought the world was supposed to end a while ago and then they were like,

34
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:29,920
"Oh, but wait, I don't think so." I mean, the thing is that it's not real

35
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:34,080
scientists that are not at all that are predicting this kind of thing. Yeah. I

36
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:37,440
like um Neil Degrasse Tyson. Have you ever heard of him? Him? I've heard I've

37
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:41,280
heard him. Yeah. Yeah. He sent out a tweet and he was like, "Don't worry guys, if the world was going to end, I

38
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:48,560
would tell you how and I would tell you when." Excellent. I was like, "Yes,

39
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,160
yes. That is terrific. I'm just going to

40
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:54,800
move this so that I can actually see the screen. Sorry guys, we uh we had to tear

41
00:02:52,239 --> 00:02:59,319
apart the studio a little bit last weekend and then we're going to have to

42
00:02:56,879 --> 00:03:04,800
sort of tear it apart again this weekend. And uh yeah, things have gotten

43
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:10,080
pretty real over the last little bit for Linus Tech Tips. I'm actually working on

44
00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:14,080
my computer again, which is pretty nice. I would show you guys the progress, but

45
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,120
one second. Oh, no, no, it's okay. It's okay. Yeah, I see it. No, no, it's okay.

46
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:22,560
I'm not going to move it anymore. We're good. We're good. It's all good.

47
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:28,319
Um, so something something, right? I can't show it to you because I have

48
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:30,480
actually packed it up and I have put it

49
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:36,560
in a box and I'm shipping it out Monday for the powder coating. And uh, so so

50
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:38,799
basically I figure um, if nothing else,

51
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:43,680
I will have at least made progress on my computer before the world ends. So, I'd

52
00:03:40,959 --> 00:03:48,480
love to take some tweets on um you know, what you guys are are doing tonight in

53
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:51,360
preparation for the end of the world. So, here we're gonna we're going to

54
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,840
throw Twitter up here and we're going to have a look at what people what people

55
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:58,560
have to say about this. Wouldn't the end of the world as

56
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:04,239
predicted by the Mayans have to be in their time zone? Um, presumably yes. I

57
00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:08,959
don't know. Did the Mayans have the whole time zone concept down? I really

58
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,879
really don't think so. But they did know things like, you know, Then it would

59
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:17,280
have been like a like the sun coming up. So it would still be time zone. So he

60
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:22,479
does have a point although it's not exactly a time zone. Okay. Presumably

61
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:23,680
yes then. Okay. So so presumably yes. I

62
00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:28,400
mean we're talking about very pseudocience at this point. Whole end of

63
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:33,840
the world nonsense anyway. But Tom says why is shipping to Australia so

64
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:37,040
expensive? Um because fuel costs a lot

65
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:40,040
of money. And the thing about Australia

66
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:42,600
is that um shipping is by

67
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:48,479
air and it's a long flight and fuel is

68
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:52,880
expensive. I mean the exceptions are are places like China and Hong Kong where

69
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,919
they for whatever reason have like the cheapest post. I mean you know that deal

70
00:04:54,320 --> 00:05:00,080
extreme ships everything out of Asia, right? And you can buy stuff for like $2

71
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:04,560
that has free shipping. And I'm just kind of looking at this going what? Well, if you look into a lot of it, like

72
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:10,000
a lot of like someone was recommending that I get an aluminum backing for my S3

73
00:05:07,039 --> 00:05:15,120
and I can get one off eBay and it's like three bucks and then postage is like 50

74
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:19,360
cents or a dollar or something, but they send it to you labeled as a gift. Yeah,

75
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:24,880
but even that doesn't make a difference because the postage still costs the same

76
00:05:22,479 --> 00:05:29,840
for that item regardless. The only thing they're saving you money on is the

77
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:32,080
import and duties, right? So, no, they

78
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:37,759
actually are legit paying 50 cents or a dollar for shipping. So,

79
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:42,800
I don't quite understand how any of that works because the reality of it is the

80
00:05:39,919 --> 00:05:48,240
prices of of like fossil fuels are dictated by forces that go beyond like

81
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:51,919
cheap labor. Yeah. Yeah. So, I Yeah, I don't quite get that. I don't know why

82
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:55,840
it's cheap in some places, but I do understand why it's expensive is what

83
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,639
I'm trying to say. I just built a new computer for my brother. He plays League

84
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:03,360
on the highest settings. It crashes after about 30 minutes. Any tips? You're

85
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:09,840
the League player here. He plays for it about 30 minutes. I have

86
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:11,440
no idea. Okay, then. Is it stressing out

87
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:14,319
his computer? Like, we need way more information. Yeah, we need more. You

88
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:18,720
know what? That's actually that's a good that's a good idea. You know what you should find out is you should be

89
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:22,479
monitoring your temps using real temp as well as MSI Afterburner. Check your CPU

90
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:26,800
and your GPU temps. If something's overheating, that can be a symptom. And

91
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:31,680
prime 95 it. Yeah. Make sure the system's actually stable. Prime it.

92
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:33,360
Memest it because it could be that

93
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,560
something that happens like when you're 30 minutes into a game, there's

94
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:40,560
probably, I don't know, more stuff going on. Like I haven't played League, but

95
00:06:39,039 --> 00:06:44,880
you know, more of the map is open, more team fights, a lot more graphics going on, whatnot, more particle effects. Like

96
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:50,800
it's possible that there's some kind of instability with the system that is being triggered by that. So, or it could

97
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:54,240
even be leaking RAM. Uh, oh, that's true. Memory, but that

98
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,759
would be a software issue. So, probably not a hardware thing, but you never like

99
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:01,199
that's still something to test. So, you should monitor your memory usage as

100
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:05,599
well. Uh, ditching work to watch your live stream. Hello from Indonesia and

101
00:07:02,479 --> 00:07:07,599
hello back Indonesia. Good work. Yes.

102
00:07:05,599 --> 00:07:10,880
All right. Uh, what are you guys going to get on the Steam winter sale? Have

103
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:14,800
you checked it out yet? I I I honestly haven't. I've been way too busy. I will

104
00:07:13,039 --> 00:07:20,080
check it out, but I haven't yet. Guys, I guarantee you that Slick and I will be

105
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:23,840
less busy soon and things will get a lot

106
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:25,520
more a lot more um lax. Nathan says, "I

107
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:31,440
know Slick is a hacker, but do you do any programming, Linus?" The answer

108
00:07:27,039 --> 00:07:35,000
would be no. I can barely put bold tags

109
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:39,319
on HTML input.

110
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,319
So, shut up.

111
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:45,360
I don't even think that showed up because your Twitter box. It's okay.

112
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:49,639
Yeah. Yeah. He he he gave me a reassuring pat on the shoulder, which I

113
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:53,759
of course uh interpreted as being purely platonic. And oh, I mean, the box will

114
00:07:51,919 --> 00:07:58,400
probably hide this, too. Oh. Oh. Whoop. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. I didn't mean for

115
00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:00,000
that to

116
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:05,280
my grandpa's probably watching this live stream. Hi, Grandpa.

117
00:08:03,599 --> 00:08:08,319
Hey, Slick. Is there anything you can recommend for a new Android user? Why

118
00:08:06,879 --> 00:08:12,960
don't you handle that one while I go get a jacket cuz I am freaking freezing.

119
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:16,560
Okay. It's cold in here. Um, first off, if you're a gamer, if you haven't

120
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:20,400
already heard of Humble Bundle, Humble Bundle is kind of amazing. It's a really

121
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:24,000
cheap way to get a lot of games and support charity, which is just awesome

122
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,960
on Android. Humble Bundle for Android. Yeah. Um, they've got Humble Bundle for

123
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:34,399
a bunch of different things. There's Humble Indie Bundle. Recently, there's Humble THQ bundle, but that can't be

124
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:36,240
Android. No, no, no. Um, but then they

125
00:08:34,399 --> 00:08:40,320
have specific Android packages. So every once in a while, like I think the most

126
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:44,959
recent one was Humble Bun Humble Android Bundle 4. So I picked that up. And just

127
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:50,399
give me one second. I'll figure out what games it came with. Um, and it was super

128
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:54,880
cheap because the whole idea is that it's not that expensive, but you can pay

129
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:57,839
however much you want. Uh, so how some people pay tons of money, it supports

130
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:04,000
charity, all that kind of stuff. Some people like students and whatnot maybe won't pay as quite as much money. But

131
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:06,560
then the companies that develop the games and the charities still make a lot

132
00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:11,600
of money because there's so many sales that go through. Sorry for my voice. I'm

133
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:15,200
quite sick right now. So, in Humble Bundle, Humble Android Bundle 4, which

134
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:21,279
is, I believe, the one that I'm talking about, I got Crayon Physics Deluxe,

135
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:23,880
Euphoria HD, Splice, Super Brothers

136
00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:30,240
Sword and Sorcery, Walking Mars, Machinarium, Cannibal, Avdon the Black

137
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:32,560
Fortress, Cogs, Zenbound 2, and Sword

138
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:36,200
and Soldiers HD. That's a lot of games, and I got it for like six bucks, so

139
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:41,360
that's actually pretty epic. Um, another big thing is Swift Key.

140
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:44,399
SwiftKey 3 is what I'm running. I believe there's a new one called Swift

141
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:48,880
Key Flow or something like that. It's just a keyboard app, but it's amazing.

142
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:53,360
It's so so so so good. I recommend that completely. It learns from like your

143
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:56,959
Twitter, your Facebook, uh your email, and all that kind of stuff. And it'll

144
00:09:54,480 --> 00:10:01,120
learn how you type. So, it'll learn um Oh, you're talking about that keyboard

145
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:04,480
Swift key. Yeah. Yeah. Good work. Um, so it'll learn as you type things that you

146
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:08,080
commonly type. So it's auto corrects are more tuned for you, which is kind of

147
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:11,519
cool. And it's hilarious because it has predictive tech text every single time

148
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:15,360
you press spacebar. So if you just open a new message and just spam spacebar,

149
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:18,560
you get to see like what it thinks you would probably say, which can be

150
00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:23,200
hilarious. And you can start it with the different words. You start with like 'the' instead of just nothing. And it'll

151
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:28,480
go off of 'the' and try and figure out what you would say if all you type was the. You can just press it like 30

152
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:33,920
times. I don't know. Means nothing but is hilarious. But that's a great app.

153
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:38,200
Um, Go SMS Pro is an awesome messaging app. It makes it so that if someone

154
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:42,160
messages you and then you unlock your phone instead of going into the

155
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:45,760
messaging app, it's just immediately on the screen and you can just press press

156
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,720
into the text box and type right there and click send. So, you don't have to

157
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:52,240
open the app or anything which is pretty cool. It has a lot of other features as

158
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:55,920
well. Okay, let's do our main big topic for the night or our first big topic for

159
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:00,079
the night. We didn't talk about this last week and we feel really bad about

160
00:10:57,839 --> 00:11:04,000
it. We do, right? This is mainly your fault, but yes. How is it my fault? I

161
00:11:02,399 --> 00:11:09,920
was in finals. I had no topics. You're the only one with topics. Well, yeah, I

162
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:13,600
had topics. Whose fault? Okay. There was

163
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:16,200
a rumor last week that Intel and NVIDIA

164
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:22,800
were potentially looking at, you know, acquiring or merging or somehow

165
00:11:19,839 --> 00:11:28,079
becoming a conglomerated company of the two with Jensen Huang at the head as the

166
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:35,240
CEO. So, um I guess ramifications of that. What's

167
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:40,560
your initial thought besides that's Yeah, but that in like a

168
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:45,920
scared tone, not necessarily just a holy crap tone because

169
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:50,560
um they both seem to be choking back on the whole overclocking idea and the

170
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:53,279
whole do-it-yourself idea. And okay, well, here we should flesh that out a

171
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,399
little bit more. So, start with how what Intel's doing because they've brought

172
00:11:55,120 --> 00:12:01,680
I'm playing devil's advocate a little bit here. I don't necessarily disagree with you, but they've brought K series

173
00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:06,959
CPUs to market in the last little while. So, they've brought back multiplier

174
00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:11,040
unlocks, which have were gone since uh

175
00:12:06,959 --> 00:12:13,760
so since the P4 days, P4s had lock

176
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:17,600
multipliers. So, before that, early P4s didn't have lock multipliers. And then I

177
00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:20,880
think the pro or no, was it P3s even that were locked? I can't even remember

178
00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:25,519
anymore. It was a long time ago. So, they took that away and now they've

179
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:29,680
given it back to us. So, okay. Okay, so they're doing that. Uh, next is they've

180
00:12:27,519 --> 00:12:33,680
got their Intel extended warranty service thing where for I think it's an

181
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:37,200
extra 20 bucks or something, you can get an overclocking friendly warranty on

182
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:40,480
your CPU where they'll replace it, no questions asked.

183
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:47,440
um all great and a lot of its marketing,

184
00:12:44,959 --> 00:12:53,360
but at the same time they're like, if any of you have seen the leaked specs

185
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:54,959
for their next launch, like it's

186
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:58,880
they're they're not tuning it towards gamers. They're not tuning it towards enthusiasts. They're not producing for

187
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:04,720
the enthusiasts anymore. Yeah, they have these side things like unlocked multipliers and a little bit of extra

188
00:13:02,399 --> 00:13:09,920
warranty, but there's no like But that's speculation, too. the IPC could be

189
00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:14,399
through the roof, but Ivy's was pretty much like I know a lot of people that

190
00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:20,160
2600 case did not care when Ivy Bridge came up. Okay, that's true. But bearing

191
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:23,360
in mind Ivy was a a talk or whichever one is just it was just a process

192
00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:29,440
shrink. Tick tock tick tock. The fact that we got any IPC improvements at all

193
00:13:27,279 --> 00:13:34,399
should have been great, right? And we did get some. We got 10 to

194
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:37,519
15%. So, it's not that Intel is is necessarily pulling back on the

195
00:13:35,839 --> 00:13:44,000
innovation. We haven't seen anything like Conro in a while, though. Yeah. And

196
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:50,079
like there's pretty solid speculation on the next release. Yeah. Okay. It's like

197
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:54,639
it's from pretty reasonable, consistently accurate sources. I mean, I

198
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:58,480
would go as far as to say that that that Haswell looks really good for something

199
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:01,680
like a steam box, though. Yeah. Like a big picture steam box. It's not for

200
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:06,320
really high-end enthusiasts, which is what I care about. Okay. Okay. So, what

201
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:12,000
has NVIDIA done to run you in the last little while? Um, more than Intel, to be

202
00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:16,560
completely honest, uh, just completely dropping all their warranty support for

203
00:14:14,639 --> 00:14:20,959
partners that want to include overclocking features like MSI's uh,

204
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:26,639
triple overvoltage. Okay. They cut it back though. They didn't drop it. You're

205
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:31,199
still allowed to overvolt, but not but not as much. Yeah. And remember AMD

206
00:14:29,199 --> 00:14:34,079
actually I talked to AMD about this. I don't know if I told you this but I

207
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,480
talked to AMD about Greenlight and I was just like have you guys heard of this?

208
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:40,240
You know what are the what are the what are the board partners saying? And they

209
00:14:38,399 --> 00:14:43,600
were like uh no we haven't heard of this. The particular guy I was talking

210
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:50,959
to and he was like well we have restrictions too. Yeah. So they both do

211
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:53,120
it but Greenlight has just become a

212
00:14:50,959 --> 00:14:57,760
little bit more restrictive. Yeah. Okay. But that's I'm like that's an avenue

213
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,880
that they're going down. Okay. They continue going down that avenue. In my

214
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:04,959
opinion, that's bad. And when they come together, things like that would

215
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:09,199
probably happen faster. Okay. Okay. What else has NVIDIA done to make you all

216
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:13,920
butt hurt? Well, that's mainly it. That's mainly it. Okay. Um, and then

217
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:17,760
like uh I find separation in companies is usually just a better thing in

218
00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:21,519
general for consumer. Maybe not for them, but for us. What about the

219
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:28,480
technology they could deliver though? Like what if Intel and NVIDIA between

220
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:32,079
NVIDIA's strength in ARM development and

221
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:34,000
GPU on the mobile side on the notebook

222
00:15:32,079 --> 00:15:39,240
side and I don't I mean notebook is technically mobile but like smartphones

223
00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:43,680
and tablets mobile and desktops what could that expertise bring

224
00:15:41,839 --> 00:15:48,440
us because you look at sort of everyone was really excited about the AMD ATI

225
00:15:46,079 --> 00:15:54,560
acquisition. Yeah. And the problem was that nothing

226
00:15:52,160 --> 00:16:00,800
enthusiast grade really emerged from it. But I think we can agree APU is cool for

227
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:02,560
a budget enthusiast. If you were if you

228
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:05,920
were actually on the kind of budget that would that would dictate an APU

229
00:16:04,639 --> 00:16:10,880
purchase, would you be pretty excited that you can get graphics performance that's literally double what you can get

230
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:14,720
from Intel? Yeah, for sure. That's that's a thing. But then like with Intel

231
00:16:13,279 --> 00:16:18,959
and NVIDIA, yeah, they could release good things like that. Um, which would

232
00:16:17,279 --> 00:16:24,320
be great for big picture. It would it would be great for stuff like big picture. It could resurrect PC gaming as

233
00:16:21,839 --> 00:16:28,320
we maybe not as we know it, but compared to console, these are all good possible

234
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:32,240
things, but then a bad possible thing is that they could just outright kill AMD

235
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:36,240
ATI. Again, I don't think they would want to.

236
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:39,920
No, but they're already doing it without really necessarily wanting to without

237
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:44,160
teaming up, which is scary because you want that AMD

238
00:16:42,399 --> 00:16:50,000
ATI, you want that competitor. Hopefully they get bigger, but you want a competitor of

239
00:16:47,519 --> 00:16:54,000
some sort, right? We want a competitor of some sort. Okay. So, and like Adam,

240
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:58,720
yeah, whatever. So, they're not going to become a monopoly, but you want a like

241
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:01,839
market competitor. Okay. Well, I'm done playing devil's

242
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:05,360
advocate now, so I guess I'll express what would be my biggest concern. Um,

243
00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:11,679
like I don't really see the direction they're headed in terms of development as a problem because I

244
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:17,039
am, and this isn't going to be popular, but I am I'm kind of on the side of of

245
00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:20,480
these companies in some ways where where I'm saying, you know what, we actually

246
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:24,880
have enough computing power right now on a CPU um for a mainstream user. I think

247
00:17:23,439 --> 00:17:30,000
it's enough. I think it's enough for the next five years at least. Um whereas

248
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:37,440
what I want to see is I want to see the PC mature as a platform.

249
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:39,600
as a as a as a consistent experience,

250
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:43,039
right? But you can develop stuff for both ends of the spectrum. Like it's

251
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:47,120
they they seem to be narrowing their product scopes at the same time. And

252
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:52,000
like you can say that, but then there's always going to be the people like me

253
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:54,000
and I think like you um that are you

254
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:57,520
know what my PC spec is? No. Yeah, exactly. But like look at the car

255
00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:00,799
aspect. People build cars that are incredibly fast. People buy cars that

256
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:06,480
are incredibly fast and they will never be able to use because it's flatout

257
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:09,360
illegal. Okay. Okay. Either way, I I

258
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:13,200
agree that I don't have a problem with um because I don't think they're making

259
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:17,360
a yugo here. Like I think that Ivy Bridge, Sandy Bridge, Haswell, I think

260
00:18:15,039 --> 00:18:22,400
all of these architectures are very compelling. Um and I mean Intel also has

261
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:26,559
to adapt to the slower upgrade cycle of the desktop computer. So while they

262
00:18:25,039 --> 00:18:30,000
could if everyone was upgrading their computer every two to three years, they

263
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:34,799
could develop a new CPU every two to three years because all those people are going to come buy it. Whereas if people

264
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:39,520
have slid into a five six year upgrade cycle before they make a dramatic before

265
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:43,440
they even need a dramatic change in performance, we're talking 5 years into

266
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:47,840
the last one they made and people are still kind of just getting to upgrade to

267
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:50,320
that. Like you're obviously not why do you even need to develop anything new

268
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:55,600
because you still have plenty of customers who are going to buy what you developed. So, I mean, I think it's a

269
00:18:53,520 --> 00:19:00,480
response to that. I think again, it's not a Yugo. It's more like a Civic where

270
00:18:58,559 --> 00:19:03,440
it's a perfectly functional vehicle that's perfectly good for, you know,

271
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:09,840
even if you want to go fast once in a while. You know, you got the SI model, a

272
00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:14,160
K series SI. My problem with all of this

273
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:15,520
is the is that longer development cycle.

274
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:21,039
And I don't know if it's anything that either Intel or NVIDIA can control, but

275
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:23,840
it seems like they're the ones that are most

276
00:19:22,039 --> 00:19:28,080
complacent if you look back historically. So Jensen, who would be

277
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:32,960
the the the visionary leader, and he's a visionary leader, there's no doubt. Um

278
00:19:29,919 --> 00:19:36,320
having met him only once, um I got I got

279
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:39,360
the the honor of sitting at his table

280
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:42,559
when um when I was at an NVIDIA thing

281
00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:43,840
for about 45 minutes. Um just kind of

282
00:19:42,559 --> 00:19:48,960
chatting with him a little bit. listening to him talk about the industry and and all that kind of stuff sort of

283
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:54,240
in a more intimate setting, not on a stage. It was very it was awesome

284
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:57,880
because he's a pioneer in so many ways. But um you know, Jensen, if you're

285
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:04,000
watching, you know, you're cool. Yeah.

286
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:05,440
Um so, so him at the helm, but you look

287
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:12,160
at what they did with something like 8800. 8800 is a great example of when

288
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:15,000
NVIDIA like came out of the door just

289
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:22,720
kicking ass and taking names. 8800 destroyed 2900 XD. Just was like, "Yeah,

290
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:25,360
whatever." It was so good that it was

291
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:33,200
still good enough like one and a half generations later. So NVIDIA released

292
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:37,440
the same thing as 9800 GTX. Then the

293
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:40,400
same thing as a talk as a 9800 GTX plus

294
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:45,919
just as a die shrink. Then they released a flagship GPU that was just two of them

295
00:20:42,559 --> 00:20:48,400
together. 9800 GX2. Yeah. And that was

296
00:20:45,919 --> 00:20:53,679
over a course of a very long period of time. They didn't replace 8800 GTX with

297
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:59,120
ultra until I think 9 or 10 months into the cycle. Um because AMD had nothing to

298
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:03,679
respond with. So, what I don't like about an AM and you look at uh Intel's

299
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:07,440
complacency with P4, they were so far ahead of Barton that they were just like

300
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:11,600
they were just releasing like, you know, new Northwood cores. They were they were

301
00:21:09,679 --> 00:21:14,240
calling these architecturals shifts when all they were doing was bumping the

302
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:21,679
front side bus. There wasn't even a performance difference. Northwood B and

303
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:23,280
C is like nothing.

304
00:21:21,679 --> 00:21:27,280
Actually, Northwood A for that matter isn't that far off. We're talking clock

305
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:32,080
speed bumps and like, you know, cash tweaks here. Um, so, so looking back

306
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:36,000
historically, both of these guys are very complacent when nothing happens.

307
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:39,679
So, we'd be taking the two most complacent guys who are already in

308
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:44,559
positions of power, putting them in a position of undisputable power over

309
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:48,000
almost everything. Oh, yeah. I mean, we discussed Tegra 4 a little bit today,

310
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:53,200
which is going to be 6x the performance of Tegra 3. Bearing in mind that, you

311
00:21:51,039 --> 00:21:58,880
know, the only real competitor for Tegra right now is going to be um what is it?

312
00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:00,640
Crate, which is who is that? I can't

313
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:04,799
remember. I know that's the code name, but yeah, code name Crate. Um so, so the

314
00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:09,600
only real they only have a couple real competitors left. TI's already backed

315
00:22:06,559 --> 00:22:10,880
off. Um and then Apple's the only other

316
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:16,919
one that's really relevant, but they're always going to be that closed platform anyway, who, you know, hippies like you

317
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:21,919
will never be interested in. Um, so they're going to have that.

318
00:22:19,679 --> 00:22:24,480
They're going to have on the on the on the notebook. I mean, you look at what

319
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:34,159
Intel does with something like an Ultrabook branding where they lock it down to a CPU, a chipset, a wireless

320
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:36,880
chipset, and a form factor. Yeah. And a

321
00:22:34,159 --> 00:22:40,559
GPU. They're going to add that. However, the experience will be better because

322
00:22:38,799 --> 00:22:45,120
something like NVIDIA Optimus, which allows is the switchable graphics, is

323
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:49,679
going to be that much cleaner. In fact, you'll probably have an NVIDIA GeForce

324
00:22:47,039 --> 00:22:53,760
chip. Yeah. In sort of two, three years from now on the CPU itself, which would

325
00:22:51,919 --> 00:22:57,919
actually be kind of freaking awesome. Yeah. Like there's a lot of cool stuff

326
00:22:54,960 --> 00:23:01,039
that they could do. I just I just worry about market dominance and complacency

327
00:23:00,159 --> 00:23:07,919
and all that kind of stuff that you said. There's like no desire to push the enthusiast side, which worries me a lot.

328
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:13,039
I mean, you look at even something like you look at how quickly NVIDIA rolled

329
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:15,039
out 580 versus 480 because 480 wasn't

330
00:23:13,039 --> 00:23:18,480
competitive. They can turn it on when they want to. However, it was very

331
00:23:16,159 --> 00:23:23,360
expensive. It cost them a fortune to do it. So, they're capable of like

332
00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:26,600
executing, but without the proddding. Um, we've been sitting on 680 for a

333
00:23:25,919 --> 00:23:33,440
while now. And 780 is going to come kind of

334
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:35,039
sort of whenever. And, uh, you know,

335
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:39,440
they had a chip they could have released as as a 680 or a 685. They've been

336
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:42,960
sitting on it. It's a Tesla right now. that could just as easily be a GeForce

337
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:47,200
GPU if they put it on PCB with some display outputs. So,

338
00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:51,200
but it's much more expensive to produce. Oh, yeah. Um, on the other hand, I mean,

339
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:54,640
and that's a thing that I I guess is is frustrating for me is that it's not like

340
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:58,000
an enthusiast isn't willing to pay $1,000 for a GPU. That That's okay. This

341
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:03,840
is another thing that I meant to bring up, but just totally forgot. What happened to like computers used to be

342
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:09,280
really expensive and people would go out and buy them if they had like like why

343
00:24:06,559 --> 00:24:14,000
not just bring out the extreme branding but like actually make it extreme

344
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:17,760
branding again instead of the like ever so slightly better that it is right now

345
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,400
like actually make it crush stuff and like have stuff there for NVIDIA, have

346
00:24:19,279 --> 00:24:25,039
stuff there for everyone where it's just like this crazy premier tier of just

347
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:31,840
awesome economies of scale. I mean, you look at what it costs for something like

348
00:24:28,559 --> 00:24:34,600
um an 8 core Zeon, which really is the

349
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:39,679
pinnacle of what Intel can manufacture? You know, would an

350
00:24:36,559 --> 00:24:42,880
enthusiast pay two or three grand for a

351
00:24:39,679 --> 00:24:44,400
CPU? If the volumes were low enough that

352
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:47,240
for Intel to look at it and go, "Okay, we can justify the development on this.

353
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:53,120
We have to charge three grand per CPU." Would you

354
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:56,720
today? because I'm sure Intel, not me, but I know people that would, and I

355
00:24:55,120 --> 00:25:02,320
wonder how many they would need. Hypothetically, let's say they release a

356
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:05,440
CPU with a 210 or 250 watt TDP because

357
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:08,320
no cares were given. And it's 12 cores

358
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:11,840
and it's clocked at 4.5 GHz and it really is like the state-of-the-art

359
00:25:09,919 --> 00:25:15,760
modern technology. They're throwing out 3/4 of the dies they produce for this

360
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:20,400
thing. It costs three to four grand. How many of those could you sell? you you

361
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:26,320
consult people on a lot of systems if they really could have that kind of

362
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:28,240
power. H personally I only know one guy

363
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:31,360
that would move for that, right? But then that's my circle of people and I

364
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:36,559
know one guy that But then I can tell you how many hundreds of 20 35 70ks you

365
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:39,600
can sell. Oh, exactly. Yeah. But I'm just I'm just surprised that they don't

366
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:43,360
have like like a lot of brands like having that one line that doesn't

367
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:46,960
necessarily make a lot of money but just is their like claim to fame of just

368
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:51,120
ultimate badassery. But you're already Intel. You're already the ultimate

369
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:54,400
badasser. Do you care? I want that to exist. You're already NVIDIA. You

370
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:58,320
already have the GeForce experience. You already have the 690, the cream of the

371
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:04,080
cream. You can already engineer a dual GPU for this current generation that AMD

372
00:26:01,120 --> 00:26:08,080
couldn't do. They handed off 7990 development like half finished to Power

373
00:26:06,559 --> 00:26:13,279
Cololor. They were just like, "We can't do this. We we give up." That's why

374
00:26:10,799 --> 00:26:16,279
Powerol is the only 7990 manufacturer. So

375
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:21,600
yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Okay, we really have no idea until it's

376
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:25,360
released. Do a couple and and yeah, we'll talk about this more maybe, you

377
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:28,640
know, if that rumor becomes more concrete because right now I'm kind of

378
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:33,760
looking at it. Go. I'm very skeptical. But here, do you want to do a couple tweets while I find our next topic?

379
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:40,279
Sure. Because I do have a few topics. I don't have any way to scroll. Uh it's

380
00:26:35,679 --> 00:26:40,279
right here. Just uh arrow keys.

381
00:26:41,679 --> 00:26:48,360
Oh, right. Wait. maybe go up to the top and just see if we've got any. Yeah, 170

382
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:53,960
new tweets. So, yeah, people apparently do want to

383
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,960
discuss this.

384
00:26:54,279 --> 00:26:59,840
Um, I don't know how to say your name. I'm very sorry. It is technically

385
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:05,600
possible to recover raw data from an SSD, but it's very unlikely and much

386
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:09,520
much much much harder. And many times I've had data recovery guys tell me for

387
00:27:07,679 --> 00:27:13,919
all intents and purposes is impossible. Yeah. Like I wouldn't bother like

388
00:27:12,159 --> 00:27:17,279
technically yes but I wouldn't bother even trying like something that sorry

389
00:27:15,919 --> 00:27:23,120
okay I'll go check a topic after something that they could do is they could resolder like if the controller

390
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:27,840
dies they could resolder the controller and maybe but understand that the way

391
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:34,400
SSDs store data even that actually might not work because SSDs inherently write

392
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:39,120
to the flash as randomly as possible. So, it's not like an SD card where you

393
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:42,799
could take that flash chip, put it into a reader, and pull the data off. And

394
00:27:41,039 --> 00:27:47,600
even then, that's really hard because of the because of the style of data. Hard

395
00:27:45,279 --> 00:27:55,640
discs are not that bad to recover stuff from. Any other type of it's just not

396
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:55,640
back up your data. Sorry, I'll be back.

397
00:27:57,360 --> 00:28:02,880
Uh, are you excited for CES? Yes. I'm ridiculously excited for CES. My voice

398
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:06,520
might not show it right now because I'm ridiculously sick as well, but CES is

399
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:12,720
going to be amazing. Um, what new or revolutionary tech is in

400
00:28:11,039 --> 00:28:16,240
the works? I think we will figure that out at CES.

401
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:22,559
Okay, I'm going to start an argument with you.

402
00:28:19,159 --> 00:28:25,520
Um, I would postulate that the optimal

403
00:28:22,559 --> 00:28:30,159
RPM for a fan for a modern gaming system is anywhere from 700 to 800 RPM.

404
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:34,480
Is that because there's not a huge difference between that and much higher RPMs? Or is that because you don't like

405
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:40,039
the sound? I don't like the sound. It's annoying.

406
00:28:36,120 --> 00:28:43,200
Okay. I don't care. I like my

407
00:28:40,039 --> 00:28:45,520
SC. For reference, I have Scythe AR-15s,

408
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:50,960
which are the 1850 RPM. Just call them GTs like every normal person. Whatever,

409
00:28:47,679 --> 00:28:53,039
man. Um GT 1850 RPM. The only sound that

410
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:57,600
really comes off them is the like worring sound of the wind. So, it's very

411
00:28:55,039 --> 00:29:00,640
smooth. There's some motor noise. Not really. What do you mean not really? I

412
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:04,799
heard them, too. There's some motor noise. And you hear it when you put it up to your ear, not when it's in a

413
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,919
computer. You put enough of them together, you're going to hear it. And I

414
00:29:06,399 --> 00:29:12,559
And why do you have to hear the whooing noise? I'm not saying you have to. I'm

415
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:16,240
saying it's technically there. The second I put headphones on, which I wear

416
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:19,120
headphones 100% of the time that I'm gaming. If there's any amount of noise

417
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:24,000
coming through them, I don't hear my system. Okay. Well, here's this. I would argue that it doesn't matter how loud

418
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:29,600
the computer is when you're gaming because when you're gaming, you're focused on something else. The time when

419
00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:33,360
the noise matters to me is more like at idle or when I'm working on a document

420
00:29:31,679 --> 00:29:38,080
or if I'm working on something where I don't have sound constantly like if I'm

421
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:40,320
video editing. Why would I want to hear

422
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:44,399
the word of fans? I don't hear it. It's totally unnecessary though. Tell me a

423
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:48,960
modern component that will actually benefit from you putting higher than 800

424
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:52,880
RPM fans in your case. That's not the point,

425
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:55,320
though. I I like playing around with overclock. I like playing with the

426
00:29:54,000 --> 00:30:01,120
cooling with those AR-15s, whatever GTS. I can get really,

427
00:29:59,279 --> 00:30:05,600
really good temperatures. I like those fans. They're really good fans. I The

428
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:08,799
sound does not bother me at all. Why not turn them down? I don't mind white

429
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:16,080
noise. If it could be silent, why not have it be silent? Because I don't care.

430
00:30:13,039 --> 00:30:18,960
I just do not care. It's It's a It's a

431
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:21,919
worring like not annoying sound that's in the background. It's just white

432
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:25,440
noise. We're used to white noise. If you're in absolute silence, you go

433
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:29,200
crazy. Okay? And I always listen to music. Or

434
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:32,480
if I'm video editing, I'm listening to the the audio track that's in the

435
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:36,799
background. Or if I'm playing games, I'm listening to the audio in the game or music. Or I'm sitting there talking to

436
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:43,760
people on Skype. Or like there's always sound coming through. What about people around you then? I don't care.

437
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:46,960
Okay. So basically, the only reason you could possibly disagree with me about

438
00:30:45,039 --> 00:30:51,600
this is because you're inconsiderate. No, it's because I don't care. And

439
00:30:48,799 --> 00:30:55,919
literally no one else does either. Okay, fine. I challenge all the silence

440
00:30:53,840 --> 00:31:00,240
freaks who are watching to tweet that people do care about computer noise.

441
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:06,240
Okay, then why don't you try and silence your fridge or anything else in your

442
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:07,520
house only makes noise. So, isn't it

443
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:13,120
more annoying that it's not consistent? I don't hang out in my kitchen.

444
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:17,600
I mean, I silenced my media PC. I wouldn't That makes more sense. I

445
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:22,320
wouldn't buy a TV or an AV receiver with a fan, right? Would you buy a TV with a

446
00:31:20,399 --> 00:31:26,000
fan? Who's watching TV where they're desktop computers? Okay. Who's watching

447
00:31:24,159 --> 00:31:29,840
TV without the sound on? By your argument. What? Because if you have the

448
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:35,720
sound on No, because in movies there's silent points. Okay. In a game there

449
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:38,480
would be a silent point. Not that

450
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:41,799
often on video editing sequence it doesn't really matter.

451
00:31:41,919 --> 00:31:49,120
Totally disagree. It's unnecessary. Why do you need Why do you need the noise?

452
00:31:46,559 --> 00:31:54,000
It's not much noise. It's not absolutely loud. Oh, actually I have another random

453
00:31:51,919 --> 00:32:01,519
topic before we jump into a bigger one. So, um, sorry. Mark Mark Hammer uh,

454
00:31:58,399 --> 00:32:04,080
tweeted to me that his wife is 30 months

455
00:32:01,519 --> 00:32:08,200
pregnant and 30 months 30 weeks pregnant. Yeah, she's like she's like

456
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:14,960
this big and she's like huge and an alien. And

457
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:20,559
no, Mark, your wife's not huge. Unless she is huge, in which case like, sorry,

458
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:23,760
man, but he might like it. Yeah, he might be into that. I can't judge, dude.

459
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:28,679
All right, you're right. You know what? You're right. I don't judge you for

460
00:32:25,279 --> 00:32:28,679
being into that.

461
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:36,320
I judge him. Whatever. I'm too sick to care right

462
00:32:34,399 --> 00:32:40,360
now. His wife is 30 weeks pregnant and she wants to name the baby Lionus.

463
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:48,159
Discuss. Okay. It's has nothing to do with you,

464
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:53,760
I'm guessing. No, I probably it does, but you know. Oh, yeah. Whatever. Yeah,

465
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:57,200
I don't think so. He He wants me to Hold

466
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:59,440
on. His tweet says, "Lion, the wife is

467
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:05,799
30 weeks prego and clearly not thinking straight. Wants to call the baby Lionus

468
00:33:01,919 --> 00:33:08,399
on the live cast. Can you unconvince

469
00:33:05,799 --> 00:33:11,679
her?" I'd like your thoughts first. And remember, whether or not you get fired

470
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:16,320
tonight could hinge on your response here. I usually get fired three times

471
00:33:14,399 --> 00:33:19,039
tonight. That's true. You fired me yet today. No, you've been fired once today.

472
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:22,080
When was that? You got fired earlier when when you said you were going to do

473
00:33:20,799 --> 00:33:28,600
something that I didn't like and I was like, "Well, I could just fire you." You're fired. Oh, I don't remember.

474
00:33:24,799 --> 00:33:31,399
Whatever. That's how much I cared.

475
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:35,279
Um I don't know. Whatever. Linus is fine. At least there's one good person.

476
00:33:33,679 --> 00:33:39,200
You can look up to Linus Torvoltz. That's a cool person that has that name.

477
00:33:42,799 --> 00:33:49,600
Really? You know what? This is this is sort of this is sort of off that topic,

478
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:53,840
but I would say Lionus Torvalds is far from the most important person to ever

479
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:57,600
bear the name Lionus. Come on. I'm sure there's more, but Come

480
00:33:55,279 --> 00:34:01,440
on. Come on. Come on. Take take a not thinking of it. Basically basically like

481
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:07,120
the father of everything we know about vitamin C. Oh, I'm not going to remember

482
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:09,040
his last name. Two Nobel prizes. Yeah.

483
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:13,760
Yeah. Yeah. One of only, I think, two people to ever win two Nobel prizes.

484
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:18,480
Yeah. I know. I don't remember. Okay. Lionus Pauling, who is actually the

485
00:34:16,079 --> 00:34:23,599
Lionus for whom I'm named. Oh, really? Yes.

486
00:34:20,240 --> 00:34:25,280
Everyone assumes because I'm a dork that

487
00:34:23,599 --> 00:34:29,040
it's because of Torvalds. Yeah, it's because of So that that it's because of

488
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:32,720
Torvalds, but I'm like I'm Yeah, that would have been odd timing. The timing

489
00:34:31,119 --> 00:34:37,599
is not quite right. He's like first developing. I would even go as far as to

490
00:34:34,240 --> 00:34:40,480
say his Torvald is number three.

491
00:34:37,599 --> 00:34:46,720
Who's after that guy? Lionus Vanpel, who basically taught us the meaning of

492
00:34:41,679 --> 00:34:48,079
Christmas. Oh, I didn't know. Okay.

493
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:52,560
Okay. Well, you know what? We're going to have to uh we're going to have to find the uh we're going to have to find

494
00:34:50,879 --> 00:34:57,520
the YouTube clip for Slick here because he clearly he clearly needs uh needs a

495
00:34:55,520 --> 00:35:01,599
little lesson on sort of the importance of of Christmas. And since we're coming

496
00:34:59,599 --> 00:35:06,079
up on Christmas and yeah, I'm calling it Christmas because holiday is stupid. Uh,

497
00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:10,440
whatever holiday you're currently celebrating. Yeah, whatever holiday. I'm

498
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:14,960
celebrating Christmas. So, yeah. Uh, Lionus Christmas.

499
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:20,480
So, I would go as far as to say this is the second most important Lionus.

500
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:26,079
Okay. Yeah. Okay. I didn't recognize the name right away. There we go. Oh, wrong

501
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:28,400
one. There we go. There we go. Make it

502
00:35:26,079 --> 00:35:31,599
full screen. I muted it. Oh, no. It's It's low. It's low. It should be okay.

503
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:35,560
Still, it's There we go, guys. So, this is this is the meaning of Christmas.

504
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:41,320
We're just going to let them watch. Yeah. Yeah. I see.

505
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:52,680
I sure hope there's audio. Yeah.

506
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:59,480
This would be a very stale point of the episode.

507
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:02,480
great joy to all

508
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,880
you

509
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:16,640
Christy in the manger.

510
00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:19,040
There was the angel a multitude of the heavenly

511
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,880
host in the

512
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:37,359
highest. So, there you go, guys. If

513
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:41,760
you're not familiar already with with Lionus from Charlie Brown, who is also

514
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:45,920
not the Lionus I'm named for, although I've had a lot of people assume that,

515
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:51,760
uh, that's the Lionus Christmas monologue, which is probably not as

516
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,760
important as Linux,

517
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:57,160
but whatever, man.

518
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:03,760
I hope there was audio.

519
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:08,040
Uh, no one's saying anything about it, so I guess it was probably okay.

520
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:12,200
Christmas tips. Yeah. Okay. So, why don't we do some

521
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:17,040
tweets for a bit here, guys? Okay. Bit Phoenix Recon Lionus.

522
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:20,480
Lionus tips indeed. Oh, yeah. Okay. Speaking of other awesome Lionuses,

523
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:24,720
there's some soccer player football European football um over in Europe

524
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:30,240
somewhere. And then there's Lionus Omar who plays for the Edmonton Oilers. Do

525
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:33,200
you like have a catalog of um Linuses?

526
00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:38,480
No, but I'm sort of I I I noticed them. There's Lionus Chan who goes to like SFU

527
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:42,240
or something. What? Yeah. How do you Why would you possibly know that? Facebook.

528
00:37:40,720 --> 00:37:46,079
I was like, "How many Lionuses are there?" Oh, yeah. One of my favorite

529
00:37:44,240 --> 00:37:50,160
things to say when I call in to like Shaw or something is like they're like,

530
00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:54,160
"Can I get your name and phone number?" I'm like, "Yeah, you can probably search

531
00:37:51,839 --> 00:37:57,560
for me by name. It's okay." I I'm pretty sure I'm the only line of Sebastian,

532
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:05,520
which is kind of neat. Uh, okay. So, someone says,

533
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:10,320
"You're 26. I thought you were 30 plus."

534
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:13,040
Do I look that old? No. Like,

535
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:17,599
it's probably just cuz your job. Oh, because people knew you were product

536
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:19,440
manager at NCX. Oh, okay. Quiet fan

537
00:38:17,599 --> 00:38:24,079
solution. Quiet fan solution. Noctua F-S series. In fact, we got some for the uh

538
00:38:21,599 --> 00:38:29,040
for the behind me here is going to be our heat sink and water cooler test

539
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,640
bench. We are going to switch from using

540
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:37,040
random fans that are included with things to only using Noctua pressure

541
00:38:34,240 --> 00:38:41,839
optimized fans at a fixed RPM that I find acceptable to where I would say

542
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:45,839
this is a quiet computer if you configure it like this. And that's going

543
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:49,200
to be in ter his his terms like silent. So that's going to be awesome and those

544
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:54,720
are great fans. Yeah. So basically what you guys can assume is that if you want

545
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:58,480
a quiet computer and you get good quality fans and you buy the heat sink

546
00:38:56,560 --> 00:39:01,839
that I say gets these temperatures, you will be able to reproduce our results.

547
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:06,800
So that's the objective there. So instead of just it being like random

548
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:11,040
then and and because so often like you end up every heat sink review ends up

549
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:14,640
being the same thing. Yeah. It's like here's the temperature reading and

550
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:17,520
here's the noise reading and you have to decide what's the trade-off and it's

551
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:21,920
like in decb and you're sitting there going well a decibb are completely

552
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:25,280
meaningless to most people because they don't really understand the scale.

553
00:39:23,839 --> 00:39:31,280
Remember every three decimals is a doubling of volume. Number two is that

554
00:39:28,079 --> 00:39:32,720
the the quality of the sound is way more

555
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:38,800
important than how loud it is. Definitely like a a a light rattle will

556
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:45,119
drive me crazy. Oh yeah, 100%. But a low drone, which could actually be like

557
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:47,440
louder, it's fine. Well, not fine, but

558
00:39:45,119 --> 00:39:51,040
fine to me. Rattling pisses me off, too. There's a difference between in like we

559
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:55,359
were talking earlier about really quiet computers and then what I was describing. There's a huge difference

560
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:59,520
between what I was describing and like one that rattles. If it rattles at all,

561
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:03,520
it'll piss me off. But a very consistent droning sound, I find perfectly

562
00:40:01,599 --> 00:40:07,280
acceptable. And I mean, lots of little fans are actually not that loud. Like

563
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:11,599
the 40 mil fan on the saber-tooth actually does pretty okay. Not loud. Oh,

564
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:19,119
I I think it's annoying. Well, pretty okay for total audio, but then like you

565
00:40:14,079 --> 00:40:21,040
just very high pitched, so it it uh okay

566
00:40:19,119 --> 00:40:24,720
like the the decibb will probably not be that loud.

567
00:40:22,720 --> 00:40:28,000
I really don't care about fan noise. I used to run my GTX 480 with the stock

568
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:32,160
cooler. Well, yeah, but the stock cooler on the 480 doesn't get that loud. It's not really loud. It gets really hot, but

569
00:40:31,119 --> 00:40:39,680
it's really loud. That's okay. I mean, it's not like uh, you know, a 4870 X2.

570
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:41,200
Like, that's a loud card. Uh, what are

571
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:46,800
your favorite 120 mil fans? Knocked to a F-S series. Cooler for i5 3570K. I don't

572
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:50,079
know. Like Hyper212. That's the most common. Yeah. Hyper 212.

573
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:56,880
Or if you want something really nice, knock to a D14. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Knock

574
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:59,520
to a D14. Side with slick. As an audio engineer, I would silence my studio rig,

575
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:04,000
but you just won't hear a fan when editing anyway. Uh what is the PNY

576
00:41:01,839 --> 00:41:07,680
Quadro 6000? It's a workstation graphics card for accelerating things like um

577
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:12,160
particle effects when you're doing a after post-processing on video editing

578
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:16,079
and stuff like that. What does Linus mean? It means golden or flax

579
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:24,000
inherently to do with the effect of naming your children

580
00:41:20,359 --> 00:41:25,760
Linus. Oh, okay. People agree with you.

581
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:30,240
Oh yeah, you were fired today for calling a hockey period halftime. So

582
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:34,960
that's three so far today. He called the hockey break halftime. Okay. What kind

583
00:41:33,359 --> 00:41:38,560
of Canadian are you? Not only am I horribly sick and not fully at it today,

584
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:42,920
usually the second intermission is referred to as a halftime. You did you

585
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:48,240
just call it an intermission? Oh, okay. Okay. Here, let

586
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:53,680
me explain to you something. Okay. Hockey has three periods. Yeah. No

587
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:59,680
intermission is half. Okay. None of them are called halftime.

588
00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:01,760
No, I said referenced as No. Yeah, the

589
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:05,200
second one is often references. No, it is. It's only called halftime. Okay,

590
00:42:03,599 --> 00:42:09,839
they're going to rip you apart cuz it's only called halftime in NBA and NFL

591
00:42:08,079 --> 00:42:13,280
because they have four quarters. I know. I played sports. I played hockey. Okay.

592
00:42:11,839 --> 00:42:16,880
Anyone you know who ever called the second period of a hockey game halftime

593
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:20,160
is a It's just so you can discern between them easily. No, it

594
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:26,839
isn't. It's called the first and second intermission.

595
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:26,839
Okay, settle down, big man.

596
00:42:27,359 --> 00:42:33,880
I'll play you in hockey. Do it. I will win. Actually, I don't want to do that.

597
00:42:31,599 --> 00:42:39,280
I will destroy you. No, I'm planning on getting a 3570K. Is

598
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:42,400
the H100i worth on a different cooler will be just fine if you're only

599
00:42:40,240 --> 00:42:46,000
planning to go to 4.2? However, I would go as far as to say that if you're going

600
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:52,480
to 4.2, the overclocking bug will probably bite you. So, get something

601
00:42:48,720 --> 00:42:55,839
better and push it. Why stop at 4.2? Low

602
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:58,400
RPM fans rule. Bam. Noise blockers. 700

603
00:42:55,839 --> 00:43:04,319
RPM inaudible. Yes. And he makes a good point. I would say you're way better off

604
00:43:01,119 --> 00:43:07,200
with 10 low RPM fans than one high RPM

605
00:43:04,319 --> 00:43:10,800
fan. Yeah. But the same argument as before. I don't mind the droning noise.

606
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:16,880
So it doesn't really I mean that's why for you for those of you who are following my personal rig, even though

607
00:43:13,839 --> 00:43:18,960
I'm a silence freak, I have two 120s in

608
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:24,960
the top, two 92s in the back. So that's four so far. I have another four on my

609
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:28,680
radiator at the bottom, another two on

610
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:31,040
my radiator at the top.

611
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:35,480
And did I cover the radiator at the front already? Yeah, I think I did. So 6

612
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:39,760
+ 4 I don't know, like 10. Why did I say

613
00:43:38,079 --> 00:43:44,319
11? I don't know. Whatever. A lot of fans, but I have them controlled with my

614
00:43:42,079 --> 00:43:48,079
MQTT balancer. So most of them are off a lot of the time and then the ones that

615
00:43:46,079 --> 00:43:53,440
are on are running at an extremely low RPM. So, I can honestly barely hear my

616
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:56,480
system. Line is pimp tips. I have eight fans in my case and three graphics

617
00:43:55,119 --> 00:44:00,800
cards, but I don't care because Battlefield 3 drowns them out. All

618
00:43:58,720 --> 00:44:06,480
right, play your precious Battlefield 3. I like the sound of fans. I can't stand

619
00:44:03,319 --> 00:44:08,480
it. Uh, yeah, Slick. Maybe if you put on

620
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:11,839
a jacket, you wouldn't get sick. I'll let you feel that one. That has

621
00:44:10,079 --> 00:44:14,839
literally nothing to do with me being sick.

622
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:21,480
Oh my goodness. I'm just going to skim over that anyways, but look it up. It

623
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:27,280
doesn't No. New big topic. Instagram owns your photos.

624
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:31,760
Didn't they? No, they revoked that when like a couple days ago. Yesterday? No, I

625
00:44:30,079 --> 00:44:36,079
think it was a few days ago. Oh, all right. I don't I don't know the whole story, but they they they announced the

626
00:44:34,720 --> 00:44:40,079
big thing. Everyone freaked out and they bounced back and forth for a little bit. I don't know exactly where they are now.

627
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:43,920
Okay. I don't know. Let me see. When did I send that to myself? That's from three

628
00:44:42,319 --> 00:44:47,440
days ago. So, it must have been Okay, you know what? Maybe you guys tweet at

629
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:50,160
us and let us know if it's been I could be wrong, but I know I know they bounced

630
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:54,720
around a little bit after it was originally announced. Let's pretend for now that it hasn't happened that they or

631
00:44:53,440 --> 00:45:00,880
that it has happened and they haven't retracted it. That is the craziest thing

632
00:44:57,119 --> 00:45:02,720
ever because basically their assumption

633
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:07,760
like they're operating like almost like a like it's almost a piracy issue at

634
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:14,720
that point because they're operating like a torrent site that was

635
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:18,319
monetizing like the the movies that they're that they're uh letting people

636
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:22,079
download like like that's what they're doing. They're acting as like like a con

637
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:25,440
except that they're hosting the content too. So it's like even worse. But in the

638
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:31,599
agreement, you're giving it to them, aren't you? You're giving it to them, but it might not be yours,

639
00:45:29,599 --> 00:45:36,720
right? Because you could upload whatever there, right? So, they would be

640
00:45:34,079 --> 00:45:42,560
monetizing and and asking for the right to sell something that

641
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:47,280
potentially you don't even own to give them, which would either be a liability

642
00:45:44,720 --> 00:45:50,960
for them or would actually be a personal liability for whoever uploaded it. I'm

643
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:54,880
sure they'd find some way to make it a personal liability for the uploader. and

644
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:57,599
like photos taken of people within houses and stuff. Yeah. You're not

645
00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:02,720
allowed to just public. Not allowed to do that. You can do it if you're in a public area, but not if you're just

646
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:06,000
randomly in a house or in a some type of private area. And so whose liability is

647
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:12,560
that now? If you take a picture of someone and and it's not even just private area like a house, like private

648
00:46:09,359 --> 00:46:14,839
area like a library. Oh yeah. Like not

649
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:20,720
public land like a like like holy crap. I was just I was like I

650
00:46:18,319 --> 00:46:26,400
was looking at I was like really that's just insane. And it's generated so much

651
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:29,280
bad publicity for Facebook. Yeah, of course. Because it just gets people

652
00:46:27,839 --> 00:46:34,240
talking about, well, here's all the other, you know, bull crap things that

653
00:46:31,119 --> 00:46:36,079
Facebook's done and just gets that like

654
00:46:34,240 --> 00:46:40,160
negative buzz. I mean, will Facebook ex here's a discussion topic. Will Facebook

655
00:46:37,839 --> 00:46:45,680
exist in five years? I I find this very interesting and I have no idea. I see it

656
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:51,359
like Facebook in everyone's lives as far as I knew used to be so much

657
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:52,720
bigger like a year, two years agoish.

658
00:46:51,359 --> 00:46:56,800
like year and a half, two years ago, it used to be huge. And now I see a lot

659
00:46:55,040 --> 00:47:03,319
more people going away from it. What are they going to though? Plus sucks. Just

660
00:46:59,839 --> 00:47:05,280
nothing. Back to calling and text

661
00:47:03,319 --> 00:47:08,720
messages because I think a lot of people are getting on there getting like a

662
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:12,560
thousand friends and then going, "Holy crap, I don't know most of these people

663
00:47:10,240 --> 00:47:16,560
or care about them." It's offensive when you delete them. It's offensive. It just

664
00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:20,160
gets kind of like this awkward kind of space and then you start creeping other

665
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:25,040
people's profiles. other people start creeping your profile and you're just like, I don't want this to be the way

666
00:47:22,720 --> 00:47:28,000
that I figure out who people are and I don't want this be the way that people

667
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:32,079
figure out who I am. On the other hand, it can be extremely convenient for certain things at the same time. Yeah.

668
00:47:30,720 --> 00:47:35,839
So, it's it's got a lot of pluses and minuses, but I think it's not just like

669
00:47:33,839 --> 00:47:38,800
the golden holy grail that it used to be. I think a lot of people are seeing

670
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:43,280
that they don't necessarily need or want it all the time. My mom's a teacher and

671
00:47:41,119 --> 00:47:49,839
her whole thing is that the perception of Facebook is changing to like that's

672
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:53,119
something my mom and dad and grandma and grandpa use to get in touch with me. See

673
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:58,400
that's more interesting because she's more in tuned with the kids.

674
00:47:56,319 --> 00:48:02,640
So that is to me I'm looking at that going okay well that's sort of where

675
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:08,720
it's trending. On the other hand, if older people are using it, then Facebook

676
00:48:05,119 --> 00:48:12,400
has managed to be that magical like

677
00:48:08,720 --> 00:48:14,640
accessible to everyone pervasive thing.

678
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:19,200
So that's like yay. But then the young people moving away from it is like boo.

679
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:23,240
And then what are they using? Just like I said, text messages to phone. They te

680
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:27,280
they text incessantly. Yeah. Um, I mean, but I mean, Facebook's great

681
00:48:25,839 --> 00:48:31,119
for that, too, because you can you can message on Facebook, and I like the

682
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:37,319
integration between private messages and chat. Uh, personally, I I I do

683
00:48:33,599 --> 00:48:40,240
appreciate it. Um, but I don't

684
00:48:37,319 --> 00:48:48,319
know if it exists in five years. I don't know in what form. Mhm.

685
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:49,760
Because I just have no use for it. I

686
00:48:48,319 --> 00:48:53,319
think it'll be there. I don't think it'll do the MySpace dump because

687
00:48:52,079 --> 00:48:57,280
they'll have those consistent people like the like the

688
00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:02,880
groups that they have their whole family on there and that's how their family communicates. Like there's a lot of

689
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:05,599
people that are like that. So they'll I don't think they'll necessarily

690
00:49:04,079 --> 00:49:09,160
disappear. I think it'll just be a completely different form.

691
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:15,520
It could be the same thing. I don't know. I don't

692
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:19,520
remember. Okay, so we're at the top. You tweeted about a gaming giveaway a few

693
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:24,000
days ago. Later. Ah, it'll come later. Tuning in at 5:00 am in Wales. Yes.

694
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:26,920
Yeah. Oh, he's in a hospital bed, though. Boo. That's no good. Sorry to

695
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:30,640
hear that, man. I only use Facebook to communicate

696
00:49:29,359 --> 00:49:36,480
with extended family. For other purposes, I hate it. Yeah. And then anyone who Oh, sorry. We're not showing

697
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:41,359
the tweets. Uh, for anyone who is doesn't want to communicate with their

698
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:43,040
extended family, then it's like, yeah,

699
00:49:41,359 --> 00:49:47,040
whatevers. I mean, I've I've always been actually I mean, like I'm I'm techsavvy

700
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:51,359
in some ways, but in other ways I'm very resistant. Like I never had a MySpace

701
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:58,079
account. Never had like a Zenga account or or um you know, I was on the Palace,

702
00:49:56,160 --> 00:50:02,000
so that was a long time ago. I'd love it if anyone who also used the Palace

703
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:06,800
tweets because I've never even heard of this. This is this is before your time,

704
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:08,559
son. Um so I was on the palace. I it's

705
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:13,280
it was basically like a chat room and like every chat room was just like a

706
00:50:10,240 --> 00:50:14,880
like like it was just an image and then

707
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:19,280
um people's avatars you could just kind of move around the room and then there was this little speech bubbles. The

708
00:50:17,599 --> 00:50:24,319
palace is the only reason I learned to touch type because there was no log of

709
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:28,000
messages. You had to just be looking at the screen and reading. So if you wanted

710
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:30,960
to say anything Yeah. you had to be quick. You had to be a touch typist. You

711
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:34,880
had to be fast. It's the only reason I know how to type. That's funny. Um, so I

712
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:39,839
was on that and then I didn't do any I was I used MSN Messenger a lot and then

713
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:46,480
I didn't get anything until I finally gave in and got Facebook. I went I went

714
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:48,240
from Nixopia which I very rarely used.

715
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:52,559
No, I know. You're fired for having a Nexopia account at some point. I never

716
00:50:50,319 --> 00:50:57,440
had MySpace and then I didn't get Facebook until I was in like

717
00:50:54,599 --> 00:51:01,520
grade nine and then I didn't even make my Facebook. One of my friends made my

718
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:05,839
Facebook and attached it to my email and it was like log in. But I think that's

719
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:09,440
how a lot of people got sucked into it. Yeah, to be honest. And then I used it

720
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:12,960
for a while and then Yeah, whatever. I mean, the only reason I ever use it is

721
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:16,720
if I get a private like I I only accept real life acquaintances and then if I

722
00:51:15,119 --> 00:51:21,599
get a private message then I'll look at that. But I don't look at my wall. I mean I use Facebook for the fan page,

723
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:26,559
right? Like I I monitor that. But then you use that. Yeah. Like my personal

724
00:51:24,079 --> 00:51:32,079
Facebook I only use for like my little group of gaming friends and then school.

725
00:51:29,359 --> 00:51:36,800
That's it. So I don't know. There are some white incinerating lights crawling

726
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:40,480
over Earth. What do run away from the light? Don't move towards the light.

727
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:43,520
Should Nope. You should not demagnetize your screwdriver before mounting a

728
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:47,839
motherboard. Thoughts on Alienware laptops? They're

729
00:51:45,319 --> 00:51:51,119
bulky and they're not powerful compared to a desktop, but they're portable,

730
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:53,559
which it sounds like you already knew. They heat up a lot usually. Yeah, they

731
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:59,599
run hot. Ah, they went back to their previous policy agreement and added an

732
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:03,359
extra filter to say, "Sorry for making you

733
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:07,599
mad." Okay. Okay, there you go. Apparently, it was yesterday. Yeah, they

734
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:10,599
won't sell your photos. You're using your photos for advertising. You still

735
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:16,800
own them. Okay, good. Uh, from Facebook to potentially

736
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:21,119
Plus or whatever that is. D Daspora. What's Daspora? No idea. Okay, cool. Or

737
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:24,559
just texting. Facebook sucks. I hope it dies. Stab. Stab, what do you think of

738
00:52:22,720 --> 00:52:28,319
the new Twitch layout beta? Haven't seen it. It's good. Is it? We were supposed

739
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:32,960
to use it for this stream. I forgot to tell you.

740
00:52:30,079 --> 00:52:38,240
Um, I think it's just Twitch uh slash new. Okay. But I don't know if that's if

741
00:52:36,079 --> 00:52:41,280
they have to set it to that or if we set it to that. Let's look at it. Let's see

742
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:45,040
how much we like it. So, we just go to our URL and then slash new. I'm pretty

743
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:49,440
sure is what it is. Let's make this uh full screen here for a

744
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:53,359
sec. All right. So there's uh you got the chat on the side which looks pretty

745
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:57,200
len normal and then you've got like a bunch of other cool stuff on the left.

746
00:52:55,280 --> 00:53:00,319
It's just it looks cleaner. Better usage of space. Yeah, it's cleaner. Yeah, it

747
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:04,559
looks a lot cleaner. Yeah, it's it's nice. Is the size of the player was it

748
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:08,000
adjustable before? I don't know. But I think the default size is also larger

749
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:11,520
now. Cool. Well, that's great. I mean, if we're going to stream in 1080p, you

750
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:15,200
might as well be able to uh you might as well be able to actually like see it,

751
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:18,079
right? But I don't know if we set it to that on our end. I don't think we set it

752
00:53:16,559 --> 00:53:21,760
to that. Well, he's watching us right now. Yeah. So, the viewer sets it to

753
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:25,520
that. So, if you guys go to your URL bar and type slashnew at the end, you'll get

754
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:29,920
the much better link. How many viewers do we have tonight? Oh, wow. 2100.

755
00:53:28,240 --> 00:53:35,280
Apparently, we don't suck as bad as last week. Actually, I think last week just people were in finals. Finals. Yeah. And

756
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:42,800
we forgive you you guys. We We know school is like awesome. Yeah.

757
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:46,640
I don't think they even saw our fist bump. Okay. Recreate the fist bump

758
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:50,760
moment. That hurts. Your knuckles are so big. Sorry. I swear your knuckles are

759
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:55,280
like twice the size of mine. Doesn't correlate to anything

760
00:53:52,800 --> 00:54:00,240
else. Greetings from Costa Rica. Are you still

761
00:53:57,119 --> 00:54:02,000
at the office? Absolutely not. Uh we are

762
00:54:00,240 --> 00:54:05,760
in my garage. There's an axe on the wall. Yeah.

763
00:54:03,839 --> 00:54:12,079
The Russian has had a paintball gun at work for like two months. What?

764
00:54:10,079 --> 00:54:16,000
How is that allowed? I No, I gave him hell for it earlier this week. I was

765
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:19,200
like, why is this still here? Cuz I think he brought it in as like a

766
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:23,280
Halloween costume or something, but like early in October and we're or like

767
00:54:21,599 --> 00:54:27,839
midocctober and we're at like the end of December. I'm just like, you didn't even

768
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:31,920
end up dressing up in this as a costume. Take this thing home. It's bad enough he

769
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:35,839
has a sword in his office. Yeah, I saw that, too. But that was that's NZXT

770
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:40,640
swag, though. Yeah, that was uh that went with the uh here. The sword was

771
00:54:38,319 --> 00:54:45,119
part of the same thing that I allowed me to acquire that helmet right there. So,

772
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:49,119
I mean, the sword I kind of understand cuz at least it's Tech Swag, but like

773
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:53,040
this paintball gun and it's like it's like a replica style paintball gun.

774
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:56,880
Like, it doesn't just look like it's not like a spider or something like a goofy

775
00:54:54,800 --> 00:55:03,359
little marker. Like, it's got a stock on it and like just like, dude, don't do

776
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:05,200
that. It's like a an office. Like, you

777
00:55:03,359 --> 00:55:09,760
know, with all the things that go on in like offices and schools, it's like

778
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:13,119
people don't want to see that, man. Oh, speaking of the Russian, did he ever

779
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:19,280
text me tonight? He was going to tell me. They're doing some kind of like game until the world ends event or something

780
00:55:17,240 --> 00:55:24,880
tonight. I don't know when it runs until, but you I don't know. Go to the I

781
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:28,960
don't even know where to go. There might be a post on the forum or something.

782
00:55:26,720 --> 00:55:33,359
That would be my guess. I don't know. He was like, "Can you join?" And I'm like,

783
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:35,760
"I got my live stream." And yeah, and I

784
00:55:33,359 --> 00:55:39,920
don't have a gaming rig yet, but soon. Shut up, noob.

785
00:55:38,079 --> 00:55:44,440
Uh, did I miss the talk about the Intel NVIDIA thing? Yes, you did. But it's

786
00:55:42,559 --> 00:55:50,640
okay. Live stream archive. Archive. Archive. Um, what do you the new 7

787
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:55,440
series cards going to be like? I am expecting I'm expecting like a 480 to

788
00:55:53,359 --> 00:55:58,640
580 bump. I'm expecting them to be more efficient and a little bit more

789
00:55:56,480 --> 00:56:03,920
powerful. Yeah, I no guarantees though. I mean,

790
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:08,720
they might pull, you know, GK 110 out of their butts and be like, "Yeah,

791
00:56:06,079 --> 00:56:12,000
whatever. I so I don't know. I doubt it. Yeah, I don't see that happening, but

792
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:15,760
you never know because if they can sell enough of them to for supercomputing,

793
00:56:13,599 --> 00:56:18,799
then I'm sure they're fine. Uh, what do you think of OCZ in the new Vector SSD?

794
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:23,599
Actually, Slick, you benchmarked it today. How'd it go? I didn't go way too

795
00:56:21,119 --> 00:56:27,440
into data to own it. Oh, I wasn't done benchmarking. Oh, okay. I got like

796
00:56:25,839 --> 00:56:31,280
halfway through. I can tell you from what I've read and from what I've seen

797
00:56:29,119 --> 00:56:37,359
so far, it looks reliable and the performance is beast. So I think I

798
00:56:35,119 --> 00:56:40,240
understand a lot of what OCZ was doing with the branding of the Vector and with

799
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:44,960
the way they did the release. So number one is they moved away from any of their

800
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:49,280
previous branding conventions. So Vert.Ex the reason they stuck with

801
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:55,440
Vert.ex for four generations was that Vert.Ex had such a strong brand like

802
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:59,680
back in the agility one Vert.Ex one days the performance difference between those

803
00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:05,079
drives was very small. I mean, we were limited by things that went beyond using

804
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:09,119
sync or async flash controllers,

805
00:57:05,079 --> 00:57:11,040
interface, all that stuff. And uh but

806
00:57:09,119 --> 00:57:14,319
because the Vertex branding was so strong and there were so many reviews

807
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:18,640
and the customer perception was so good of a Vertex, it outsold agility, at

808
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:24,319
least I'm just speaking from my experience as the OCZ product manager at

809
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:27,280
NCX. It outsold agility like 10 20 to1

810
00:57:24,319 --> 00:57:31,200
like huge. And Vertex 2, I had the same experience. Vert.ex 3, same experience.

811
00:57:29,599 --> 00:57:36,880
Agility started to catch up a lot because async flash got really cheaper

812
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:38,480
around that time at times. Uh Vert.Ex 4,

813
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:43,040
same thing, but Agility 4 was a legitimately much worse drive than

814
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:47,839
Vert.Ex 4. So they went and they changed like how often do companies do stuff

815
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:52,640
like that? Like when did it like Intel is still using the Pentium name? Yeah. I

816
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:57,359
would say AMD should still be using the Athlon name. Yeah. Like Yeah. Why not?

817
00:57:55,680 --> 00:58:00,559
Like you have a good branding asset. you use it, why not? Um, as long as you have

818
00:57:59,119 --> 00:58:03,760
a good product to go with it. So, Vector, they're saying, "Look, we're a

819
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:06,799
new company. We're doing things differently, you know?" So, they're

820
00:58:05,359 --> 00:58:11,119
doing long warranty, which they did on Vert.ex 4, but they're So, they're

821
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:14,400
continuing that. They did a much more uh rigorous testing of the drive. They

822
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:17,440
validated it in a way that they haven't done in the past. Well, how how long did

823
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:22,480
it take them to bring this one to market? 18 months compared to Vertex.

824
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:27,040
Less than 12 months. Yeah. For previous drives, which means they spent at least

825
00:58:25,119 --> 00:58:30,960
six months. Yeah. just validating at least half a year

826
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:35,760
more on just the development validating it. So I think that they were trying to

827
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:42,000
say look we're a new OCZ and they really are like they're I people that I've

828
00:58:38,559 --> 00:58:45,440
known there um like the CEO um the chief

829
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:47,680
sales officer um or director of sales or

830
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:53,520
I forget VP of sales I think VP of sales was his actual title. Um but like these

831
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:55,040
guys they're gone. Um and it's it's a

832
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:59,599
very very different crew over there. I can tell you guys that much. So, uh,

833
00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:02,480
yeah, very, very positive. I have a really good feeling about where they're

834
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:06,640
going. I mean, they still got some stuff to get figured out on the financial

835
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:09,520
side, on the legal side. Um, you know, they're a public company, so there's a

836
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:15,839
lot of paperwork that goes along with that, and they got to figure that out. But, you know, I I I hope they land on

837
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:18,640
their feet. Yeah, me too. They're been around for a while, so it' be nice to

838
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:23,040
keep around. I'm like I said, I'm like halfway done the benchmarks, so next

839
00:59:21,119 --> 00:59:26,000
whenever we'll film it and then we'll release it as soon as possible. I mean,

840
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:30,240
they've done some things wrong over the years, but quite frankly, so has

841
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:35,520
everyone. Yeah. Um, you know, you look at uh

842
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:37,119
uh Intel screwed up the firmware on X25

843
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:42,799
twice. Do you know about this? It wasn't into SSDs then because they were Okay. Uh,

844
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:46,559
Crucial screwed up the M4, so it just turned off after a certain number of

845
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:51,200
hours. You know, you look at things like uh things like RAM. Crucial had a

846
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:56,240
disastrous batch of ballistics back in the DDR2 days. We were talking like 40%

847
00:59:53,440 --> 01:00:01,680
RMA rates. I remember bad batches happen to everyone. Stuff happens. And OCZ gets

848
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:05,040
a really bad rap sometimes. Well, because they sell a lot. They sell a

849
01:00:03,839 --> 01:00:08,960
lot. But I'm talking even other categories. OCZ power supplies for

850
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:12,480
whatever reason have this terrible reputation. Like on forums, you look at

851
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:15,839
experienced guys going, "Oh, I wouldn't touch that." Let me tell you something,

852
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:23,280
and I don't normally talk about this kind of stuff because it's kind of confidential information, but the RMA

853
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:27,440
rate back to NCIX on OCZ power supplies was around

854
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:34,440
2%. Which I can tell you guys right now was number two in terms of RMA rates at

855
01:00:30,599 --> 01:00:37,280
NCIX. And we're talking Anttech, CIC,

856
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:40,880
Corsair. Two of those three were worse than

857
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:47,680
OCZ for the period of time that I was managing it, right? which was like three

858
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:49,720
years. So, bam. Like, people sort of

859
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:54,880
talk about it, but it's like where are they getting this data?

860
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:59,839
Like, maybe they got bitten by something. I still have a Game Extreme

861
01:00:56,480 --> 01:01:02,319
600 watt and like that's a launch unit.

862
01:00:59,839 --> 01:01:07,440
Yeah. That's running in my work machine at at NCIX. So, this is like what, five,

863
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:10,559
six years down the road. It's not like every one of them dies. And it seems to

864
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:15,440
be the perception. I don't understand. And you look at recent products like ZX

865
01:01:12,319 --> 01:01:18,400
series built by a very reputable OEM,

866
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:22,960
very high quality power supply. I don't get

867
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:22,960
it. Anyway,

868
01:01:23,079 --> 01:01:32,400
OCZ. Um, were you ever on Geio Cities?

869
01:01:29,559 --> 01:01:37,200
Nope. Watching from Ecuador? Yes. Streaming in 360p like a

870
01:01:34,839 --> 01:01:40,599
boss. Thank you for tolerating our terrible 360pness.

871
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:49,280
No. Come on. No. Ness is a perfectly

872
01:01:46,359 --> 01:01:57,359
legitimate suffix. 360p is a real thing.

873
01:01:52,920 --> 01:02:00,680
Okay. No. No. No. Not for that.

874
01:01:57,359 --> 01:02:00,680
Whatever, man.

875
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:06,880
Okay. I don't expect Intel and Apple to

876
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:11,280
team up at any point in time. I think Apple's busy alienating absolutely

877
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:14,640
everyone between the lawsuits against Samsung and they're losing a lot of that

878
01:02:13,359 --> 01:02:19,200
right now. Have you heard about that? I have. They're losing like crazy left and right. They're losing everywhere. And

879
01:02:17,839 --> 01:02:23,040
the fact that it's it's almost like they're kind of going like this at Intel. You hear the latest thing where

880
01:02:21,839 --> 01:02:28,079
Apple says they want to develop their own CPU and move away from Intel on their notebooks. It's like what's the

881
01:02:26,559 --> 01:02:33,839
point of even saying something like that?

882
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:36,559
I think they're literally just like ever since Steve Jobs pass like you look at

883
01:02:35,359 --> 01:02:43,200
the history of the company like Steve Jobs starts the company. Yeah. Steve Jobs gets fired. Steve Jobs comes back.

884
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:47,599
Yeah. Steve Jobs passes away. It's like come on. They they just like the second

885
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:51,440
he is gone, they just try and fight everyone. Like how does that seem like a

886
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:54,640
good strategy? Let's just like go fisticuffs with every single company we

887
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:58,400
can possibly. Whereas I mean Steve Jobs was never afraid to go toe-to-toe. No,

888
01:02:56,720 --> 01:03:03,599
he'll go toe-to-toe with Google, but did it intelligently and had a plan. It's

889
01:03:01,599 --> 01:03:07,280
not just like throwing punches in every possible direction you can think of. I

890
01:03:05,119 --> 01:03:13,520
mean, why go against Samsung? That was stupid. Like Samsung. And like, why

891
01:03:10,599 --> 01:03:17,359
why push out Apple Maps when it just doesn't work?

892
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:20,559
I still haven't upgraded to iOS 6. I've been lazy. I tried last night, but I

893
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:24,079
needed a 50. I know there's a Google Google. Yeah, that's the only reason I

894
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:27,119
was considering it. Okay, I'm going to go get another topic. Maybe do a couple

895
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:31,680
tweets. Apparently, it costs a dollar to send a private message on uh to a

896
01:03:29,119 --> 01:03:35,119
non-friend on Facebook. Really? I've never heard of that before. I've never

897
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:39,839
tried. Never tried. Yeah, that's interesting. I wonder how they even work

898
01:03:37,839 --> 01:03:42,480
that in. How do you even send a message to

899
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:47,359
someone who's you're not a friend with on Facebook? I have no idea. I've never

900
01:03:45,359 --> 01:03:53,839
even Oh, you're going to love this. Oh, okay. Yeah, really cool. Uh really cool

901
01:03:49,839 --> 01:03:55,440
news. So, um, I'll be the first one to

902
01:03:53,839 --> 01:03:59,119
say Linux totally doesn't matter because I don't care about it. Has zero

903
01:03:57,359 --> 01:04:03,280
application to my life, but I know you're a bit of a Linux guy. You use it

904
01:04:00,559 --> 01:04:09,680
every day whether you OCZ directly or not. Speaking of OCZ has has launched a

905
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:13,599
beta um a beta application that enables

906
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:15,680
SSD caching on Linux. So, wait, on

907
01:04:13,599 --> 01:04:20,400
regular SSDs. But I thought you didn't care about it. Well, I said you should

908
01:04:18,079 --> 01:04:23,039
care about this news. Oh, okay. You were all excited. So, I thought you were

909
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:28,000
like, I don't care about Linux, but I care about this. No, no, the implications of this are huge. Yeah,

910
01:04:25,839 --> 01:04:31,920
that's awesome. Um, blah blah blah blah blah something something something. Aha.

911
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:36,400
Beta test program for its Linux acceleration software development and

912
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:41,200
invites its enterprise SSD customers to participate. So, it's a fast caching

913
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:44,000
storage solution for their SSDs designed specifically for Linux based physical

914
01:04:42,799 --> 01:04:47,799
and virtual environments. That's awesome. So basically this is kind of

915
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:52,400
like um this is kind of shoot what's their

916
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:57,119
what's their accelerator drive called the desktop one synapse uh yeah synapse

917
01:04:55,200 --> 01:05:01,920
cache so it's kind of like synapse except you can use any OCZ enterprise

918
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:10,000
SSD you can cache a magnetic storage solution and unlike you know what uh you

919
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:13,359
know adapt or you know LSI or whatever

920
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:14,640
wants you to believe unlike that they

921
01:05:13,359 --> 01:05:17,960
are not locking ing it down to a hardware platform.

922
01:05:19,119 --> 01:05:25,760
If it works out, that's awesome. That's gamechanging. Yeah, that's like this is

923
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:31,760
like this is like the end of the end of expensive hardware solutions for this

924
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:37,200
potentially because it doesn't only work with SATA and SAS, it also works with

925
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:42,000
PCI Express SSDs. Oh, nice. That's kind of cool. So their entire enterprise

926
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:46,079
thing is going to be so basically okay so imagine this server was it you where

927
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:49,680
you were talking about that sort of uber density for you thing okay so what was

928
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:56,079
the density they were able to achieve I can't remember but it was insane it's called red red something it's this

929
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:58,559
gigantic red server that just holds a

930
01:05:56,079 --> 01:06:02,559
billion hard drives okay so picture this something like that where maybe you

931
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:08,880
build like you have like a 50 or 100 terabyte storage server then you go okay

932
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:13,359
seven PCI Express slots with 1 TBTE of SSD each. A softwarebased solution. So

933
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:21,039
you don't even have to have like you don't even have to have any cards in your system other than SSDs running off

934
01:06:18,079 --> 01:06:24,319
of wicked fast PCI Express and these storage. Oh no. I guess you'd need

935
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:28,000
something to plug storage drives into. Oh crap. Okay. Well, fine. So you have a

936
01:06:26,559 --> 01:06:31,599
couple Okay, fine. You have a couple SSDs then. And you get them to do I know

937
01:06:30,079 --> 01:06:36,400
they do custom solutions. So you go to OC. You say, "Look, we need 4 TB SSDs

938
01:06:34,319 --> 01:06:39,200
and we need so you have like four running here to connect all your hard

939
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:44,160
drives. You have like three running here to be like so like 12 terabytes of like

940
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:49,039
Uber cache for the thing." I mean, that's that's a whole new generation of

941
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:52,720
performance really. Yeah. Where instead of FA like I I remember hearing a really

942
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:57,599
cool stat that Facebook was buying something like like some however many

943
01:06:55,119 --> 01:07:02,160
dozen servers every day just to add to their racks. And I think it's everyone's

944
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:07,839
Facebook front page has to be stored on SSD. Yep. So if they roll out something,

945
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:11,520
so if OCZ basically goes, look, here's our solution. Buy our SSDs, which are

946
01:07:10,319 --> 01:07:15,599
competitively priced as far as enterprise SSDs go because it's flash in

947
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:22,160
a controller. It's not rocket science. Buy our SSDs. We have this Linux SSD

948
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:26,640
caching system that's ready to go. You just deploy it and it'll cache your

949
01:07:24,799 --> 01:07:31,039
magnetic storage. All of a sudden, you don't have to have dedicated SSDs for

950
01:07:28,319 --> 01:07:35,200
anything. It'll automatically cache the most frequently used data. The first

951
01:07:32,799 --> 01:07:38,640
load will be slow. Facebook would still need it. Okay. Facebook would still need

952
01:07:36,559 --> 01:07:44,880
it. Stuff that needs the entire thing on a dedicated SSD. Yeah. Okay. Yes. But

953
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:48,160
yeah, but would they Okay. Okay. Front page would have to be on SSD, but

954
01:07:46,559 --> 01:07:52,960
everyone's front pages after a little while would eventually end up in the SSD

955
01:07:50,079 --> 01:07:56,079
cache anyway. everyone's well if they keep adding blades the way

956
01:07:54,640 --> 01:08:00,119
they're adding them and every single one of them had like let's say 10% of the

957
01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:04,319
storage in every blade was SSD then all the all the I think well

958
01:08:03,039 --> 01:08:10,240
like this would come into tune with the thing that you're saying where you can contact OC and get a custom yes things

959
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:14,400
up so Facebook would need their own kind of design for everything so they'd have

960
01:08:12,079 --> 01:08:19,279
a completely custom thing I'm sure and then they basically decide what is the

961
01:08:16,159 --> 01:08:21,520
appropriate ratio of SSD to hard drive

962
01:08:19,279 --> 01:08:25,120
and as long as the caching solutions enough and we've already seen I mean

963
01:08:23,359 --> 01:08:31,040
almost every well not everyone but you know you look like guys like uh uh

964
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:32,960
datlex guys like LSI adapt all these

965
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:36,239
guys have caching solutions that's actually something I didn't think about

966
01:08:34,239 --> 01:08:40,080
the LSI acquisition of sandforce probably has huge implications for SSD

967
01:08:38,199 --> 01:08:45,679
caching sorry I didn't think of that before but anyway um so it's not rocket

968
01:08:43,440 --> 01:08:49,120
science at this point I don't think so if they work it out so that as long as

969
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:53,440
they've got the right ratio of magnetic to solid state storage. They wouldn't

970
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:58,560
have to have dedicated SSD machines anymore. Pretty much they could just go,

971
01:08:56,319 --> 01:09:03,199
"Okay, put it in autopilot. Don't touch it anymore because it's all handled by

972
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:05,759
the software." I think I think you're still going to

973
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:11,920
want if you're doing something like that, I think you're still going to want someone managing everything. But I mean,

974
01:09:09,759 --> 01:09:14,960
okay, you look at stuff like a photo that people look at once in a while and

975
01:09:13,759 --> 01:09:20,560
if the loading time's a little bit slower, that could sit on magnetic. And

976
01:09:17,679 --> 01:09:20,560
if it could all be

977
01:09:20,759 --> 01:09:26,560
dynamically monitored, then great. Anyway, I thought that was cool. I

978
01:09:25,279 --> 01:09:33,239
thought you'd think it's cooler than you seem to think it is, but whatever. Sick.

979
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:33,239
You're a constant disappointment.

980
01:09:33,440 --> 01:09:40,159
You're a jerk. Um, I'm trying to find the name of that

981
01:09:37,359 --> 01:09:46,000
thing. It's just gigantic for you and it's painted red and it just has all the

982
01:09:42,319 --> 01:09:49,400
hard drives. It's ridiculous. Got any

983
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:52,159
more topics or should I go to Twitter?

984
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:57,280
Um, oh, Intel Ivy Bridge chips may dip below 13 watts. So, that's cool. So,

985
01:09:55,280 --> 01:10:01,280
we're talking like desktop processors that uh so step down further depending

986
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:04,640
on the situation to as little as seven watts, which would be amazing for

987
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:09,520
tablets because I'm super stoked on Windows 8, like proper Windows 8 tablets

988
01:10:06,719 --> 01:10:14,920
100%. So, that's cool, but I don't think I want to talk about that for that long.

989
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:14,920
Um,

990
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:24,159
I don't know. You got anything? Uh, not really.

991
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:26,320
Topic suggestion for blah blah blah. Um,

992
01:10:24,159 --> 01:10:31,199
Brendick H asks, "Do you think it's possible for Valve to push the main PC

993
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:33,840
gaming market to Linux?" No. No, I don't

994
01:10:31,199 --> 01:10:37,040
think so either. No, but they are. How do I bring up I love you, Gabe, but it's

995
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:42,320
not going to happen. There we go. Um, but I don't think I think he's wanting

996
01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:44,040
to make it viable for his Steam box.

997
01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:48,640
Yeah, but even then like

998
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:53,040
I think it'll be viable, but people are going to use what they're used to and people are going to you are going to use

999
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:56,480
what they currently like and that's in the most part Windows. And you could,

1000
01:10:54,960 --> 01:11:02,320
okay, even if you were to make the argument that Windows has peaked and is

1001
01:10:59,920 --> 01:11:05,280
on the downtrend in terms of its, you know, market dominance or whatever else,

1002
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:10,719
whatever other argument you're going to make, I would say that the tale on that

1003
01:11:08,239 --> 01:11:15,120
is so long that Gabe Newell may not even live to see the end of L of Windows as

1004
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:21,120
the dominant gaming platform for the PC. Yeah. Like even if this is the

1005
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:26,480
apex, the li the library and the tool

1006
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:26,480
sets and all of this stuff is so deeply

1007
01:11:26,679 --> 01:11:33,600
entrenched for anything but casual. I don't see it happening anytime soon.

1008
01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:40,080
Yeah. But then at the same time, you see like it's not it's not just Gabe, it's

1009
01:11:36,159 --> 01:11:42,960
not just Steam because um you see like

1010
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:46,560
any Kickstarter game, any Kickstarter game, they they push the game and then

1011
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:52,000
there's a billion comments of people asking like make a stretch goal for Linux and their first stretch goal is

1012
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:56,239
like always Linux. Like people care and it's becoming a bigger thing and like

1013
01:11:53,760 --> 01:12:00,880
it's a really local minority. Yes. But then not necessarily just North America.

1014
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:05,440
You got to think about that too. A huge amount of the rest of the world uses a

1015
01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:10,400
lot of Linux. Fair enough. North America not so much like at all.

1016
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:16,080
But Right. And bearing in mind that North America for markets like games

1017
01:12:13,440 --> 01:12:21,280
just dwarfs almost everything else. No, that's true. I know. But it's like it's

1018
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:25,280
happening. It's I agree with you. I agree with you. Very long tailed, but it

1019
01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:28,159
is happening. And I know a ton of people that will get rid of their Windows

1020
01:12:26,480 --> 01:12:32,800
partition now. But it's more people that are already dual booting with Linux.

1021
01:12:29,679 --> 01:12:35,040
Yes. and which is like a sl a sliver of

1022
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:38,239
a sliver of computer users. I'm just saying it will it will convert some

1023
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:41,760
people. Here's the other thing that will be devastating for something like Linux

1024
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:46,480
adoption and it comes down to our same conversation about the longer the longer

1025
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:51,840
um upgrade cycles that people have these days and that is the fact that so many

1026
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:56,640
people are still running Windows XP machines that are fast enough for every

1027
01:12:54,400 --> 01:13:03,280
casual game that comes out in the next 5 to 10 years. So, not only does Linux

1028
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:07,520
have to go up against the dominance of Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows, well,

1029
01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:12,520
Vista to a lesser extent, but they're they're out there. There are Vista machines out there. Um, but they have to

1030
01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:19,040
go up against that every game for however long from now is going

1031
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:22,080
to run on Windows XP. Like, like it's

1032
01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:23,600
it's still a requirement. Yeah. So, it's

1033
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:29,040
like how many platforms do you want to build for? Yeah, for sure.

1034
01:13:27,440 --> 01:13:34,320
Yeah, like that's that's part of the reason the tail. So I think that upgrade

1035
01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:36,560
cycle is going to continue to extend

1036
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:40,719
especially as NVIDIA and Intel slow down their development and release products

1037
01:13:38,480 --> 01:13:44,400
less frequently. Your computer will be good enough for longer. And with the

1038
01:13:42,480 --> 01:13:47,920
quality of the components that especially on the custom side these

1039
01:13:46,159 --> 01:13:52,159
motherboard manufacturers and VGA manufacturers are using, it's like when

1040
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:56,719
would I ever have to replace a Maximus 5 formula? I think every component on that

1041
01:13:54,719 --> 01:14:00,800
board is rated for something like 15 years of continuous operation. It's like

1042
01:13:58,719 --> 01:14:04,960
it's just ridiculous. And like those new the AX power supplies from Corsair.

1043
01:14:02,719 --> 01:14:08,000
Yeah. And like the some of the new SSDs that are coming out, they're all just

1044
01:14:06,159 --> 01:14:12,280
absolutely ridiculous. I mean, it used to be that when you bought like high-end

1045
01:14:11,440 --> 01:14:17,360
power supply, you were paying for the fact

1046
01:14:14,719 --> 01:14:22,080
that it wouldn't die after 3 years. Yeah. Whereas now, you take for granted

1047
01:14:20,159 --> 01:14:25,520
that it's going to last 5 to 10 years. Oh, seriously. And you've even got like

1048
01:14:23,679 --> 01:14:30,320
sevenyear warranties on stuff. I mean, guys, a manufacturer gives you a

1049
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:34,640
warranty that is like a fraction of how long they actually expect it to last.

1050
01:14:32,480 --> 01:14:38,400
Like your appliances have a 1 to twoyear warranty. They expect that thing to last

1051
01:14:36,719 --> 01:14:44,480
10 plus years. Think about that in terms of your computer. If they're giving you a 5year warranty, they it's not going to

1052
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:51,239
die. Basically, the only thing I can think of that is going the other

1053
01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:54,080
direction is like TVs and monitors

1054
01:14:51,239 --> 01:14:59,600
cuz Yeah, I totally agree. But like old school TVs like CRT style stuff just

1055
01:14:57,280 --> 01:15:06,560
like still works. Let me put it this way. NCX has a 39 in LED back lit 120 Hz

1056
01:15:04,239 --> 01:15:10,840
TV that's going to be in the Boxing Week sale and you guys didn't hear this from

1057
01:15:08,159 --> 01:15:18,480
me at $2.99. What? Wow. So, this is a 39 in TV which

1058
01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:22,880
is 1080p which basically costs as much

1059
01:15:18,480 --> 01:15:27,440
as even like 6 months to a year ago. Oh

1060
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:30,159
yeah. Like a 22 23 in monitor. Yeah. TVs

1061
01:15:27,440 --> 01:15:33,760
don't use TN panels. So that's something to bear in mind too. Oh yeah. So it's

1062
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:38,920
not like they get to use a TN panel to cheap out unless they are like super

1063
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:44,480
cheap TVs. And the material costs are obviously

1064
01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:49,600
higher because it's just larger. Yeah. In like every possible way of defining

1065
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:51,600
that. Like like just the plastic mold to

1066
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:55,840
create the bezel is larger. Like everything is just everything costs

1067
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:59,280
more. Yeah. Yeah. How could they afford to make it last for 10 years? No, I

1068
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:05,120
know. But I'm just saying like that's that's the only thing I can possibly think of that's going the other way.

1069
01:16:03,440 --> 01:16:08,880
Yeah. Even things like light bulbs last longer now. Everything just seems to

1070
01:16:06,960 --> 01:16:13,440
last longer. But just the only thing I can possibly think of is TVs and screens

1071
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:16,480
and phones. Yeah, phones used to be built like

1072
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:19,440
tanks. Oh my goodness, that old Nokia one that you could like literally drive

1073
01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:24,640
over with the tank and it just wouldn't care. I think I had that one. Was it the blue one? Yeah, it was very iconic.

1074
01:16:23,440 --> 01:16:28,480
Black and white screen, right? For some reason, I can't remember. Yeah, it's

1075
01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:32,400
yellowy kind of or like like orange back lit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um I can't

1076
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:35,679
remember the name of it, but it's like Okay. I don't know. I I had one though.

1077
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:39,199
such a well-known Nokia phone, but like that thing was a beast. And a lot of old

1078
01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:43,679
school phones were just absolute beast. Oh yeah, I used to drop it all the time.

1079
01:16:40,719 --> 01:16:46,800
And now like I kind of worry about this one and if I had an iPhone, I would just

1080
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:52,080
constantly worry about Now they do a drop test on like YouTube just to prove

1081
01:16:49,679 --> 01:16:57,080
that it won't break after one drop, which is brutal.

1082
01:16:54,719 --> 01:17:01,760
And they're slipperier than ever. Yeah, you can see like I obviously

1083
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:06,159
worry. I have an Otter box, which is my case, and that's like armor for your

1084
01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:10,000
phone because I'm just like seriously worried that it'll just break if I ever

1085
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:14,960
do anything bad to it. Oh, you know what we should talk about? Uh, how much time

1086
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:16,320
do we have left? Uh, uh, it's 10

1087
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:19,760
minutes. We got We got like 11 minutes. Okay. Um, so I want to talk about a new

1088
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:24,239
idea. I'm thinking I'm going to start this in January. We'll use the forum as

1089
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:28,400
part of a as part of a launch thing. So, for all of you guys watching here, I I'm

1090
01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:32,360
assuming if you're tuning in live that you're probably someone who, you know,

1091
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:37,920
watches my videos.

1092
01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:39,880
Um, YouTubers need likes. They need

1093
01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:44,640
likes. They need comments, and they need shares. One of the biggest things that

1094
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:50,080
I've noticed about my videos is a lot of people watch them, but apparently nobody

1095
01:17:46,480 --> 01:17:53,199
actually likes them. Um, which is I mean

1096
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:55,920
I I hope that's not actually the case,

1097
01:17:53,199 --> 01:18:01,600
but if the uh 3310, okay, I don't know if that's the one I had or not, but let

1098
01:17:59,679 --> 01:18:06,080
how do how do I address this? I don't want to plead for likes. I think it's

1099
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:09,800
lame. If you look back at my older videos, I didn't even ask people to

1100
01:18:07,760 --> 01:18:14,239
subscribe because I always took kind of the, hey, if people want to watch my

1101
01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:18,239
videos, then they want to subscribe. That's cool. Sorry for my voice. wanted

1102
01:18:16,480 --> 01:18:22,080
it to be the most organic as possible. Wanted it to be people that really

1103
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:26,080
actually really desired to see more instead of just felt incentive to see

1104
01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:30,320
more. Legit wanted to subscribe or wanted to like the video or or or

1105
01:18:28,159 --> 01:18:35,120
whatever else. But what I'm looking at now is more and more and more YouTube is

1106
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:38,719
tweaking their algorithms to focus on engagement. So they're looking for how

1107
01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:43,280
many people like the video, how many people comment on it, how related the

1108
01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:46,640
comments are to the keywords in the title in the description, and how many

1109
01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:52,080
people are sharing it, whether it's on Facebook or Twitter or on or on YouTube

1110
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:53,760
itself. And um for those of you who are

1111
01:18:52,080 --> 01:18:58,400
watching right now, consider this sort of my appeal to you. It's not that much

1112
01:18:56,480 --> 01:19:02,560
work. In fact, you can download scripts that autoike the video, every video you

1113
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:06,000
watch, and then you can manually dislike it if you don't like it or unlike it if

1114
01:19:04,159 --> 01:19:10,719
you if it turns out that you don't actually like it. Um, I would hope you

1115
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:16,080
guys will do that. And so, what I'm thinking is I'm actually going to create

1116
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:17,760
a program where every month we're going

1117
01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:22,239
to contribute because as you guys know, there's ad revenue that goes along with

1118
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:25,440
having better search rankings. So, you know, if you guys are able to help me

1119
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:30,800
get better search rankings, get more views, build build this this community,

1120
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:33,920
build this viewership base, then I figure I should probably give something

1121
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:38,199
back. So, what I'm thinking is we do either monthly or quarterly targets

1122
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:45,600
where I basically go, look, for every like on a Linus Tech Tips video this

1123
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:47,520
month, I'm going to contribute X number

1124
01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:51,280
of cents and it'll probably be like a fraction of a cent because the last

1125
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:54,960
thing every single like that's just insane. Yeah. The last thing I need to

1126
01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:59,199
do is go broke immediately because you guys are so gung-ho. And I mean, like I

1127
01:19:56,719 --> 01:20:03,520
appreciate the support, but I also, you know, have a baby to feed. Um, so I'm

1128
01:20:02,239 --> 01:20:09,600
thinking we basically go, okay, for every like this month, we're going to contribute this much. And then with the

1129
01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:15,440
forum that we're starting up, we can let the viewers decide what we do with the

1130
01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:17,360
money. So we can basically go, okay, um,

1131
01:20:15,440 --> 01:20:22,000
you know, uh, we can we can create a vote every month. We can go, okay, this,

1132
01:20:20,239 --> 01:20:27,600
you know, moderator needs a new computer. Should we contribute to that?

1133
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:30,320
or there's this charity that uh you know

1134
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:34,880
uh like I know particularly Slick MS is really important to him for for some

1135
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:38,560
personal reasons. Um you know for me um Alzheimer's and dementia is pretty

1136
01:20:36,480 --> 01:20:41,679
important for some personal reasons. Um so there's a lot of different different

1137
01:20:40,159 --> 01:20:46,560
things like that. So we could basically create a list and let the community

1138
01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:49,520
decide what we do with the money. So, we can go, okay, look, this month we're

1139
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:53,520
going to do this up to a maximum of $1,000, and then at the end of the

1140
01:20:51,440 --> 01:20:56,880
month, you guys get to vote on what you want us to do with that $1,000. BC

1141
01:20:55,440 --> 01:21:02,000
Children's Hospital is one I'd also really like to contribute to. We write a

1142
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:06,800
check, we film it, we mail it, and uh that way instead of me having to sort of

1143
01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:10,960
gravel for please like my video, which I think is just ridiculous, and I've held

1144
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:16,320
out as long as I can before even making any kind of appeal about it. Um, I think

1145
01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:21,080
it's a way for you guys to really contribute something by liking the video

1146
01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:26,320
and a way for me to give back to the general world for you guys helping sort

1147
01:21:24,480 --> 01:21:30,239
of push the popularity of what we're doing up. So, if you guys think that

1148
01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:34,239
makes sense, I' let's take your tweets on that for the rest of the uh for the

1149
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:39,560
rest of the segment here. And like a lot of that interaction would come from a

1150
01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:39,560
lot of

1151
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:44,000
I like it. I like it. I like it. Um,

1152
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:53,040
Um, a lot of those interactions would be done through the forum. So, I like it

1153
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:54,320
like that. I like it like that. Um, so

1154
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:58,080
you guys could vote through the forum like we were saying and like say you

1155
01:21:56,400 --> 01:22:01,320
guys did a Keval loan or some type of recurring thing that would happen. You

1156
01:21:59,679 --> 01:22:05,280
guys could orchestrate that whole process. So, it would be a lot of

1157
01:22:03,679 --> 01:22:10,480
interaction from you guys and a lot driven through the forum. And that's the thing, we need your help. That's a

1158
01:22:08,159 --> 01:22:16,360
really good point because my whole thing is I don't want every video to be like,

1159
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:19,760
"Please like my videos. My baby needs to

1160
01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:22,320
eat." Like I It can't be like that.

1161
01:22:19,760 --> 01:22:25,840
That's stupid. It's stupid. I think it's pathetic. And for all the other

1162
01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:30,880
YouTubers who are watching me right now, I think it's pathetic. I really do.

1163
01:22:27,679 --> 01:22:33,120
Pleading for likes is lame. Um but what

1164
01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:37,040
I would rely on you guys to do is to advocate. Like I don't want to say in

1165
01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:41,280
the video, guys, like the video and I'll donate to a charity. I want you guys to

1166
01:22:38,639 --> 01:22:46,880
drive that. I want the top I want the top rated comment under every video to

1167
01:22:43,679 --> 01:22:48,480
be about what this month's thing is.

1168
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:52,000
Like like if you guys come up with a personal goal through the forum or

1169
01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:55,440
something that you guys want to hit like oh something happened like say there's a

1170
01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:58,960
natural disaster and you guys want to push something towards that natural

1171
01:22:56,880 --> 01:23:01,840
disaster. Exactly. We could you guys could push for that and our donations

1172
01:23:00,639 --> 01:23:06,159
would go towards that if it's the highest voted thing which if it was a natural disaster probably would be and

1173
01:23:04,639 --> 01:23:10,080
if you guys are all contributing together and supporting each other's

1174
01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:14,639
ideas in the forum which Slick will actually start working on tomorrow.

1175
01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:18,159
Tomorrow is the beginning date the day. Uh well second day but you haven't

1176
01:23:16,880 --> 01:23:24,159
gotten much done on it yet. First day wasn't really Yeah. Yeah. First day finals are over basically. So, uh, so

1177
01:23:22,239 --> 01:23:28,159
yeah, we're I think we're pretty excited about this idea. And we need you guys to

1178
01:23:26,159 --> 01:23:31,880
advocate. And honestly, like, think about it this way. It really does help

1179
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:35,520
me a lot. The sooner you guys get started, the better, the better it will

1180
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:39,199
be. Even though I know we're not doing a target for December, and I'm not 100%

1181
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:43,920
sure if I'll be able to launch in time for January. But tell you what, I'll

1182
01:23:41,199 --> 01:23:49,120
commit now. February for sure, I'll commit at least 500 bucks as like a as a

1183
01:23:47,440 --> 01:23:55,600
ceiling for this for this new program. And then what I'd like is for

1184
01:23:52,440 --> 01:23:58,080
as what I'd like what I'd like is for as

1185
01:23:55,600 --> 01:24:01,760
we keep going, you know, if I'm pushing you guys to hit a bigger and bigger

1186
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:05,600
target, then I want to contribute bigger and bigger amounts of money. I think

1187
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:11,520
that's how this should work. Okay. So, yeah, let's let's do some tweets about

1188
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:13,120
this. So, swag. Okay. C uh do it. Can

1189
01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:18,639
you buy front panel cables that are sleeved so they don't know, but you can sleeve them? Yeah, you can sleeve

1190
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:22,560
yourself. Seems legit. When will the AMD never settle promotion end? Um, it's

1191
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:28,719
gonna end when they run out of codes, so you should still be okay on Boxing Day.

1192
01:24:25,440 --> 01:24:30,639
Oh my god, Blaze.

1193
01:24:28,719 --> 01:24:34,400
I don't know. Okay. Can you tell me which components are needed for computer

1194
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:37,600
graphics? Blaze? What? I wonder if that's the name of that server that I'm

1195
01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:40,639
thinking of. I don't know. Whatever. The big red thing that holds up. Okay, sure.

1196
01:24:39,679 --> 01:24:45,600
That might be something to do with hardware and software needed for computer graphics. Uh, it depends what

1197
01:24:44,159 --> 01:24:51,600
kind of computer graphics. We talked about Tegra 4 a little bit. Looks ballin. Yeah, it looks awesome. I gave

1198
01:24:49,679 --> 01:24:55,040
away my Gunner glasses to Slick. Should I read between the lines on your opinion

1199
01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:59,040
on them? No, my opinion is that they do reduce eye fatigue. 100%. If you sit at

1200
01:24:57,440 --> 01:25:03,520
your computer for a long time, they work. What I didn't like about them is

1201
01:25:01,440 --> 01:25:07,760
my eyes are sort of going a little bit right now as it is. They have a bit of

1202
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:13,199
magnification on them. So, it's not a prescription, it is a magnification. And

1203
01:25:10,639 --> 01:25:16,960
what I found is that for my eyes, even though they were much less fatigued, I

1204
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:20,960
was having more trouble focusing on things when I'm not at my computer. So,

1205
01:25:19,199 --> 01:25:27,040
that was what I didn't like about them. Um, when I sit at my computer, 100% they

1206
01:25:23,679 --> 01:25:29,600
help. Yeah, I've actually used them and

1207
01:25:27,040 --> 01:25:35,360
have the exact same use case. Want to settle a debate? What memory is

1208
01:25:31,440 --> 01:25:37,600
better? 2x4 at 1333 or 1x8 at 1600? 2x4

1209
01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:42,560
at 1333. However, I would probably go 1x8 at 1600 because it gives you more

1210
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:45,679
upgrade options and it's not going to make that much of a difference in terms

1211
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:50,000
of performance anyway. What's your favorite apps with your Galaxy?

1212
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:53,280
I covered that actually earlier in the episode. There's a few more. Watch the

1213
01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:58,000
archive. Yeah, maybe I'll jump on Twitter later. Favorite mechanical keyboards? I know we cover this a lot.

1214
01:25:56,000 --> 01:26:03,120
Zyel 60 big red for you. Back blaze storage pod.

1215
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:05,120
That's it 100%. Okay. Uh we were going

1216
01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:09,920
to get to that. There you go. Oh crap, we almost forgot that. Right. Oh yes, I

1217
01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:13,679
put it here so I wouldn't forget. Okay, sorry. Sorry, sorry. We'll go back to

1218
01:26:11,440 --> 01:26:21,280
Guys, keep sending in your comments on the uh on the money likes thing.

1219
01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:23,840
Um, okay. So, did I tell you about this?

1220
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:29,920
You I These are Twinkies, right? Yes. Okay. So, I This is the first time I

1221
01:26:27,120 --> 01:26:34,480
have ever actually received mail from a viewer. Dear Lionus Sebastian, I heard

1222
01:26:32,960 --> 01:26:38,560
on one of your live streams that you have never had a Twinkie. I figured that

1223
01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:42,080
because it is the Christmas season, I would give a gift on behalf of all the

1224
01:26:40,480 --> 01:26:47,199
hard work you do to bring us Linus Tech Tips, your live stream, and all the other channels you're associated with. I

1225
01:26:45,199 --> 01:26:51,639
hope you enjoy your first Twinkie, and have a very merry Christmas. Sincerely,

1226
01:26:50,480 --> 01:26:58,000
Ryan 9298B2 on Twitter. Postcript RIP

1227
01:26:55,800 --> 01:27:03,760
Hostess. So, I don't know if you remember this, Ryan, but neither Slick

1228
01:27:01,199 --> 01:27:08,719
nor I have ever eaten a Twinkie before. So, this is a sealed Twinkie box. Okay.

1229
01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:12,800
And guys, I'm not encouraging everyone to send me mail because I I don't need I

1230
01:27:11,199 --> 01:27:17,840
don't need more mail to be perfectly honest, but I was really touched because

1231
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:22,080
this is the first time I've ever gotten mail from a from a viewer and it's the

1232
01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:26,560
Christmas season and all that. So, okay, Twinky on live Twinkie unboxing. So,

1233
01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:31,040
let's see what Hostess has to say for themselves about the Twinkie. The

1234
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:33,040
product is enlarged to show detail of

1235
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:37,679
the texture. There are 10 individually wrapped cakes with a best before date of

1236
01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:41,120
uh December Oh, December 14th. I should have probably eaten it right away. What

1237
01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:43,520
year, though? Oh, I don't know. This year. That's okay. I'm going to eat it

1238
01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:48,239
anyway. Don't worry about it. It's probably fine. Golden sponge cake with

1239
01:27:45,440 --> 01:27:51,360
creamy filling. Follow us on Facebook. Don't miss out on all the great new

1240
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:54,400
recipes, sweet exclusive offers. The ingredients include nutritional facts

1241
01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:59,880
that are Okay, I'm sort of skipping through here. So, here we go. When we

1242
01:27:57,199 --> 01:28:07,760
open up the box, we discover that inside there are 10 golden

1243
01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:10,760
treats. One for you. Oh god. And one for

1244
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:10,760
me.

1245
01:28:11,040 --> 01:28:16,960
I have to say part of the reason I've never had a Twinkie is it's never really

1246
01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:20,239
held much appeal for me. All I remember growing up as a kid is

1247
01:28:19,199 --> 01:28:25,360
the only thing that lives through a nuclear holocaust is cockroaches and

1248
01:28:22,280 --> 01:28:27,440
Twinkies. I was always just like, uh,

1249
01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:31,199
okay. Yeah, I always sort of took that approach to it, too. So, here we go.

1250
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:35,440
We're having our first Twinkie experience. And there's, of course, nothing erotic about

1251
01:28:40,520 --> 01:28:45,080
it. It's a little dry.

1252
01:28:45,840 --> 01:28:54,719
A little cold. It's cold. Okay.

1253
01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:57,679
It tastes good, but it also tastes like

1254
01:28:54,719 --> 01:29:01,840
just fat. Yeah, it's like a bread with like, you

1255
01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:05,920
know, fake whipped cream in it. If I had real whipped

1256
01:29:03,080 --> 01:29:09,719
cream. I'm going to finish it though, just for Ryan's sake.

1257
01:29:12,639 --> 01:29:21,880
So, thank you, Ryan. I got a chance to eat a

1258
01:29:18,600 --> 01:29:25,280
Twinkie before they were gone forever.

1259
01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:28,159
And just for that, we are going to take

1260
01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:33,600
one of these Twinkies or the box and we are putting it on the wall of legend

1261
01:29:30,360 --> 01:29:35,280
because this is the first viewer mail

1262
01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:41,120
that we have ever received. It was very thoughtful and uh thank you very much.

1263
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:42,480
Merry Christmas as well.

1264
01:29:41,120 --> 01:29:46,760
Yeah, I guess this is the last stream before Christmas. Sure is.

1265
01:29:47,239 --> 01:29:54,239
Okay, speaking of Christmas spirit and giving all that, let's go back to our

1266
01:29:50,880 --> 01:29:56,239
Twitter thing. Okay. Oh, wow. Yeah, it's

1267
01:29:54,239 --> 01:30:01,800
it's I'm actually pleasantly surprised, which is it's unfortunate that it's kind

1268
01:29:57,760 --> 01:30:01,800
of growing on me as I go.

1269
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:09,639
Soon it will definitely not be a Twinkie up on the wall. It's going to be the empty box after Lionus eats the whole

1270
01:30:06,880 --> 01:30:16,440
thing. Jeez, man. You're giving me away. Okay, so go back up to the

1271
01:30:13,080 --> 01:30:19,040
top. 122 new interactions. Here we

1272
01:30:16,440 --> 01:30:22,400
go. Info on treating Alzheimer's. Very knowledgeable men. Okay, I'm not I'm not

1273
01:30:20,880 --> 01:30:29,840
a doctor. I'm not trying to treat it. It's just helpful. Okay, Jose, great suggestion.

1274
01:30:28,560 --> 01:30:34,080
Um, but we'll leave it up to the community at large to decide. I mean,

1275
01:30:32,080 --> 01:30:36,679
Slick and I might have some influence like some months we might just say,

1276
01:30:35,360 --> 01:30:40,400
"Look, we're doing this, you know, get on board." Whereas

1277
01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:43,840
most of the time, I'd really like the communicate to the uh the community to

1278
01:30:42,320 --> 01:30:47,280
decide. I think a large part of the whole point is to have it all

1279
01:30:45,760 --> 01:30:51,679
communitydriven and a lot of interaction from the fans and whatnot. Ps points out

1280
01:30:50,159 --> 01:30:57,679
points out that the cockroach thing is a myth, which sort of assumed, but yeah, I

1281
01:30:54,719 --> 01:31:00,560
take that Twinkie hard. What about the upcoming gaming bundle? Uh, no, no, I

1282
01:30:59,440 --> 01:31:06,280
didn't say I'll talk about it before the end of the stream. I said it's coming later. No, no, that's later.

1283
01:31:04,360 --> 01:31:11,600
Later. Um, best show ever. Linus Twinkie

1285
01:31:13,199 --> 01:31:18,639
Yeah, as if Twinkies last forever. What form software are you going to use?

1286
01:31:16,960 --> 01:31:23,440
We're going to use Vulletin. And moderators will be selected will be

1287
01:31:20,320 --> 01:31:25,199
handpicked by me and Slick based on how

1288
01:31:23,440 --> 01:31:30,080
helpful people are, how positive they are, as um how regularly they're

1289
01:31:27,440 --> 01:31:34,880
contributing to the community. And uh yeah, we're not taking applications. We

1290
01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:39,120
are going to look for the people that are really proactive about helping

1291
01:31:36,679 --> 01:31:43,040
people. Higher memory on video cards. Yes, it matters, but it doesn't help at

1292
01:31:40,880 --> 01:31:46,560
all for higher refresh rates or higher resolutions. You need more memory for

1293
01:31:44,800 --> 01:31:51,760
higher resolutions. Yeah. And like multimonitors and stuff. I will download

1294
01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:55,040
an auto script. Excellent. I don't know if we're allowed saying

1295
01:31:53,199 --> 01:31:58,320
that for liking videos. Yeah, we can say

1296
01:31:56,880 --> 01:32:05,040
there's a script. I don't know. We're not providing it to them, but you're encouraging. I don't know. Whatever.

1297
01:32:03,120 --> 01:32:08,000
Um, Lionus Twinkie tips just changed my fan speed. I think donating money for

1298
01:32:06,800 --> 01:32:12,320
likes and shares on your videos is a brilliant idea. Okay. Yeah. See, that's

1299
01:32:10,080 --> 01:32:16,560
that's the attitude. Helping people for the click of a mouse. You guys should

1300
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:20,159
have to do nothing. Ultimately, yes, I will obtain more advertising revenue and

1301
01:32:18,639 --> 01:32:24,000
then a portion of that gets to go to help people. So, I think we all kind of

1302
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:27,679
win. Yeah, I think it's actually pretty awesome. Um, money idea seems good. just

1303
01:32:26,560 --> 01:32:33,199
feels like a lot of people have already done it. That's okay. We're going to do it regularly and I don't think I

1304
01:32:30,800 --> 01:32:37,199
actually know of no one who does based on likes and does it consistently every

1305
01:32:35,520 --> 01:32:41,679
month or quarter. The idea is we'll be doing it all the time. So, it's supposed

1306
01:32:39,280 --> 01:32:46,000
to be like a fairly big part of the more the forum I think. Yeah. And big part of

1307
01:32:44,320 --> 01:32:51,280
the community driven aspect instead of like this random thing. Thoughts on

1308
01:32:49,120 --> 01:32:55,280
Gangdom Style reaching 1 billion views? Incredible. That's just outstanding.

1309
01:32:53,840 --> 01:33:00,400
Within like six months, it's the most viewed video on YouTube ever. That's insane. I don't even know. That's so

1310
01:32:58,480 --> 01:33:05,520
much time spent watching a video. I mean, I would have thought something like Charlie bit my finger was like kind

1311
01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:09,560
of untouchable just cuz it's like so legendary. It's like the first

1312
01:33:06,880 --> 01:33:15,440
ultraviral video on YouTube, but I was wrong. I've only watched it

1313
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:19,440
once. The first donation should go for some razors for Slick. Very good. Honey

1314
01:33:17,840 --> 01:33:23,600
Light's been good. Okay. Have you tried the program Flux? Yeah, Flux is awesome.

1315
01:33:22,239 --> 01:33:26,719
Uh, I haven't tried it, but I've heard it's like outstanding. Awesome. Unless

1316
01:33:25,360 --> 01:33:32,159
you're someone who's good at like edit photos or video, but best red switch

1317
01:33:29,320 --> 01:33:35,280
keyboard. That's like asking us like which semi-truck has the best mileage.

1318
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:39,760
It's like you could answer the question, but Oh, well, no, that's valid. Hold on.

1319
01:33:37,440 --> 01:33:45,920
It's like asking us which motorcycle has the greatest towing capacity.

1320
01:33:43,040 --> 01:33:49,120
It's like, yeah, neither Slick nor I are really cherry MX red. Yeah, that's I was

1321
01:33:47,679 --> 01:33:54,880
just going to preface that neither of us are fans of red. Um I I I actually don't

1322
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:57,360
know anyone who is, but like you're Why are you going to be like that? I'm sure

1323
01:33:56,320 --> 01:34:02,480
there are people that are fans of them and I would probably ask them. Um yeah,

1324
01:33:59,440 --> 01:34:03,920
I'm more of a brown black guy

1325
01:34:02,480 --> 01:34:09,480
and I'm more of a blue. Although based on, you know, my choice of wife, you'd think I'd like Cherry MX yellow.

1326
01:34:09,760 --> 01:34:17,040
Okay, moving along. ITX versus MATX versus ATX. Size

1327
01:34:14,880 --> 01:34:20,480
versus expansion. Uh you know what? That's not a bad one for maybe next

1328
01:34:18,400 --> 01:34:25,440
week. That's a topic in Yeah, that's like a whole topic. Yeah. Live stream on

1329
01:34:23,040 --> 01:34:29,840
Twitch TV. Oh, now what? Oh, okay. He's just tweeting that he's Oh, thank you.

1330
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:34,000
He's calling us out or calling out that he does stuff that involves watching us.

1331
01:34:32,560 --> 01:34:38,080
Think this is super creative way to not gravel for likes. Yes, cuz gravels are

1332
01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:41,360
stupid. I have no idea what the scripts do or don't do. I can't encourage you to

1333
01:34:39,760 --> 01:34:48,440
use them apparently and I've never used them myself, so sorry. Oh, well, there

1334
01:34:44,239 --> 01:34:51,040
there you go. I didn't give you this.

1335
01:34:48,440 --> 01:34:56,080
Um, add a donation button. You know what? I'm actually not going to add a

1336
01:34:53,600 --> 01:35:03,840
donation button. Um, I think that that gets very complicated. I would like for

1337
01:34:58,560 --> 01:35:06,320
you guys to find ways to donate that are

1338
01:35:03,840 --> 01:35:09,760
just liking the videos and like honestly if you guys want to donate, we don't

1339
01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:13,520
want it to be through us. Yeah. You can donate to whatever. We want to have our

1340
01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:16,880
own pool of money and like the accounting gets very complicated I

1341
01:35:15,440 --> 01:35:22,000
think. Yeah. Yeah. And like if you guys want to set up like I've heard of donation teams like there's a there's an

1342
01:35:20,239 --> 01:35:25,440
OCN group like if you guys want to make your own little thing on the form like

1343
01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:29,199
that's awesome like that's cool but just run it like we we don't want to have the

1344
01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:32,719
accounting stuff on our end and we don't want to have the liability on our so

1345
01:35:31,040 --> 01:35:37,120
encourage other people to like our videos and you'll be

1346
01:35:34,440 --> 01:35:41,040
inherently donating to us and it won't even cost you anything which is great.

1347
01:35:38,480 --> 01:35:44,639
Yeah. Um, and we I mean we may take donations for the forum in the form of

1348
01:35:43,199 --> 01:35:49,360
like a paid account that gives you a special avatar or something, but for

1349
01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:53,840
that we'd be looking at sort of how much we need to keep the forum running, not

1350
01:35:51,920 --> 01:35:57,120
as a profit center and not as a charity thing like just that would be more like

1351
01:35:55,760 --> 01:36:03,040
donating to the forum. Yeah, that wouldn't be to the charity at all. Yeah.

1352
01:35:59,920 --> 01:36:04,960
Okay. THQ gone and bought by Ubisoft.

1353
01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:07,760
Have you heard about this? Yes. I didn't know it was Ubisoft, but I knew they

1354
01:36:06,239 --> 01:36:11,280
filed for bankruptcy and I knew there's a very highprofile name that was buying

1355
01:36:09,520 --> 01:36:16,719
them. I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah, like the

1356
01:36:13,440 --> 01:36:18,719
donations idea. Cool. Yes, please do

1357
01:36:16,719 --> 01:36:23,199
spam the likes. Thank you, Brian. I mean, if everyone who's watching this

1358
01:36:20,080 --> 01:36:25,360
live stream right now, which is 2,200 of

1359
01:36:23,199 --> 01:36:28,560
you, if every one of you guys just take two seconds and like every video, that

1360
01:36:27,280 --> 01:36:32,480
will make a huge difference for me personally. Like, it re it actually

1361
01:36:30,719 --> 01:36:37,440
does. It shouldn't. And I kind of hate it. Like, I really do. Like I think

1362
01:36:35,040 --> 01:36:41,360
about this guys, I've gone five years without soliciting likes. I hate it. I

1363
01:36:39,840 --> 01:36:44,159
think it's stupid. It's actually a big deal. Ever since I joined on, he's

1364
01:36:42,880 --> 01:36:49,520
commented about how he doesn't like asking for likes. So this Yeah. Yeah.

1365
01:36:47,440 --> 01:36:54,639
Enjoying the stream. Lionus will be using VBulletin downloading an auto like

1366
01:36:52,159 --> 01:36:57,440
plugin as we speak. Thanks, bro. The idea is great. And sooner you guys

1367
01:36:56,239 --> 01:37:02,400
start, the sooner we'll support you in every way. Cool. And we'll get it going as soon as we like get our stuff

1368
01:37:00,639 --> 01:37:08,480
together. We've got CES coming up. We both got family stuff for Christmas.

1369
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:09,760
So, yeah, good suggestion. Okay,

1370
01:37:08,480 --> 01:37:14,080
community involvement is always great. So, it sounds like you guys are totally

1371
01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:17,920
supportive. Oh, going home. And this Alex, great point. I think it's a good

1372
01:37:16,480 --> 01:37:22,880
idea, but I don't know how many people will hear about it, but I like the idea.

1373
01:37:20,040 --> 01:37:26,560
Alex, I'm putting you personally in charge of being every single person

1374
01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:31,199
watching. You guys are all personally responsible for helping us with this.

1375
01:37:28,800 --> 01:37:36,239
Like I said, I want the top comment on every video to be about this program,

1376
01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:40,080
about how liking Linus Tech Tips videos is going to help support this cause with

1377
01:37:38,480 --> 01:37:42,960
some kind of, you know, a link to the forum thread where we're discussing the

1378
01:37:41,679 --> 01:37:46,719
one for this month. Like, I want you guys to get involved in a way that

1379
01:37:45,119 --> 01:37:51,040
doesn't cost anything, but really helps us helps out everybody. So, that means

1380
01:37:49,360 --> 01:37:54,800
if one person comments about it, you guys all need to glom on and like that

1381
01:37:52,800 --> 01:37:58,880
comment, help boost it up to the top, help get this ball going so that I don't

1382
01:37:57,119 --> 01:38:03,760
have to plead for likes. I'm pleading with you now once and other than

1383
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:06,719
announcing the program on a video on YouTube, which I'll probably do, this

1384
01:38:05,280 --> 01:38:11,880
will be the one time I'm going to do it. I want you guys to spearhead

1385
01:38:09,880 --> 01:38:18,960
this. Okay. Uh Okay. I think that's pretty

1386
01:38:15,119 --> 01:38:21,679
much it for this week. Yeah.

1387
01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:25,600
Thank you for for joining us even though I know you're like super sick. I'm going

1388
01:38:23,760 --> 01:38:31,679
to go home and go to sleep. Yeah, that's sort of Do you want another Twinkie? No.

1389
01:38:30,159 --> 01:38:34,800
All right, guys. Thank you for watching and yeah, I super thank you for watching

1390
01:38:33,600 --> 01:38:40,159
because I think this is one of our highest uh viewer numbers that we've ever had on the live show. So, yeah,

1391
01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:44,480
thank you so much, guys, for tuning in and good night. Merry Christmas. Merry

1394
01:38:50,440 --> 01:38:56,970
time. I have to turn this off somehow. It's way over there. It's hard to see.

1395
01:38:54,960 --> 01:38:58,400
See if I can do it from here.

1396
01:38:58,400 --> 01:39:02,080
Wait for it. Wait for it.
