WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.240
Hey, there it goes. There it goes. All right, guys. We're live. Welcome to the

00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:08.320
Lionus Tech Tips live stream featuring

00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:13.920
the one and only Slick PC. In spite of that one guy who keeps asking me to fire

00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:17.840
him. I haven't done it yet today. Today.

00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:19.680
Are those mine? No. Oh, where'd mine go?

00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:23.920
Oh, there they are. We both have the same earbuds, which causes no small

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:27.359
amount of confusion or would cause no small amount of confusion if we ever put

00:00:25.439 --> 00:00:30.480
them in a pile next to each other, which would be a bit of a problem. So, we're

00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:35.840
both using Flux in Ear Pros. What do you think of them? I like them. Did you ever

00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:38.480
try the nonpros? Yeah, I didn't mind

00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:41.920
those. They were good, but I like how well these will hook around your ear,

00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:46.079
right? And how well they sit in your ear? The only complaint I have about the

00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:48.399
non-pros is like these ones, um, they talked about when we were in their suite

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:52.160
that they're designed after hearing aids, right? Yeah. So, they fit in your

00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:55.199
ear really well and they don't really come out of your ear that much, right?

00:00:53.840 --> 00:01:01.359
And then the cable can go right up and around your ear so there's not a lot of tension. With the nonpros, um, they're

00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:05.439
designed to to kind of stick out of your ear and then go down. So, they stick

00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:10.080
fairly far out and then go straight down. You know what I discovered though

00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:13.680
is that with the nonpros, if you really jam them in there. Yeah. I Well, hold

00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:19.200
on. No, no, really though. That's That's why they're so long. You're supposed to

00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:21.600
I I found if I put a size smaller ear

00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:25.680
tip on it and then I put them right in, not only did they sound great, the noise

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:29.200
isolation was outstanding and they didn't stick out really far anymore. I

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:33.439
was I even able to lie down on them without them being uncomfortable. So

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:37.759
there there's sort of That's pretty cool. I didn't go that far with it. I

00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:42.240
don't like Right. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Fair enough. Cuz they're more like in-

00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:43.600
ear canal almost. Yeah. Which is kind of

00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:50.479
weird. Well, it's not for everyone, that's for sure. And wouldn't that be worse, too, for your ears? I mean, if

00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:54.399
you cranked it, maybe. Sure. Yeah, I would think so. Yeah. All right. So,

00:01:53.040 --> 00:02:00.399
what's our first topic for the week? Sorry if my voice sucks, guys. I'm kind of sick.

00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:05.439
Yeah, I know that's a common topic. Yeah, we sort of talk about that a lot,

00:02:02.399 --> 00:02:07.759
but yeah. Let's move on to a uh a new

00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:16.160
topic. So, our first topic of the week is um Tomb Raider 2013 edition is

00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:17.840
already 50% off on Steam.

00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:21.360
It's not even the summer sale yet. Like I kind of expected stuff like this in

00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:24.400
the summer sale because the summer Steam summer sale is always like just the most

00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:28.239
ridiculous thing ever. It's like please stay inside and play video games,

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:31.680
please. I don't even for a few months I've already I've started doing this

00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:35.120
like a few months back and for until the summer sale comes around. What I do is

00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:39.040
I'll actually for any games that I hear of that I want and any games that go on

00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:43.200
sale that I'm like, "Oh, that looks interesting." I put it in a list in a

00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:46.720
notepad on my computer and I just wait. Even if it goes on like a crazy weekend

00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:51.599
only sale, I'm like, "No, I'll just put that in a list. Wait for the summer

00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:54.959
sale cuz it's so cheap." It's basically

00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:56.879
like like boxing boxing week or I guess

00:02:54.959 --> 00:03:00.879
uh for the American viewers kind of like like a Black Friday type thing. It's

00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:04.560
kind of it's kind of awesome. It's just not worthwhile to buy anything any other

00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:10.239
time. Yeah. But I mean this comes back to our discussion about Crisis 3. So

00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:15.760
that came out and then it was discounted within a couple weeks in spite of being

00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:20.319
evidently a hot selling title. Should you pre-order anything

00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:24.640
ever? See, like at this point, the main reason

00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:27.440
why I would ever see to pre-order anything is if you can find a place

00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:32.080
where you're going to get some amount of benefit from it. Because like sometimes

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:35.280
Steam will do the oh, if enough people pre-order and you always hit the third

00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:39.280
tier, and there's three tiers of pre-order benefits. And sometimes like

00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:44.000
it comes with other games, right? And it'll come with like other games, DLC,

00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:49.200
like all this stuff. So sometimes the pre-order benefits are really big and

00:03:46.440 --> 00:03:54.319
exclusive. So sometimes it's worth it. I have Bill's hat in left in uh Team

00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:55.920
Fortress 2. See, like see like that. But

00:03:54.319 --> 00:04:00.560
that's I think where the benefit of buying early is going to be now because

00:03:57.519 --> 00:04:02.400
it's not price. It's not price anymore.

00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:07.400
Yeah. It's like two, three weeks, four weeks after the uh after it actually

00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:13.280
comes out. It's already like Yeah.

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.480
So, someone says, uh, yeah, people are

00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:20.560
still complaining about the audio levels. I actually don't

00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:25.120
understand. Um, okay, here we can try moving it a little

00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:28.400
closer. That might actually help. So,

00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:30.960
the mic. Yeah,

00:04:28.400 --> 00:04:37.840
we will try. Whether just said audio is great. Well, I adjusted it a little bit.

00:04:35.840 --> 00:04:44.199
Okay. It's easier to turn down than it is for people who are maxed out to turn

00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:46.560
it up. So, I I understand um

00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:50.639
yeah, I understand why that's a problem. Why don't we turn to a little bit of

00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:55.360
Twitter Q&A? So, let's go ahead and do this. Oh. Oh, yeah. Another topic

00:04:52.960 --> 00:05:00.880
actually before we uh before we go any further, is our afterparty this week,

00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:03.840
assuming Slick and I can get it working, we'll probably get it working, right? I

00:05:02.400 --> 00:05:07.840
would think so. Is going to be our Super Mario World live stream.

00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:12.479
At least like the start of it. At least the start of it. We'll probably have to do more than one segment. Yeah. It's not

00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:17.199
going to be in one sitting. I mean, the reality of it is I told my wife about

00:05:15.039 --> 00:05:21.680
the concept of the Super Mario World live stream and she was kind of like I

00:05:20.320 --> 00:05:25.199
mean, you can't expect wives to necessarily always get the whole like

00:05:23.840 --> 00:05:31.919
game stream. Quite frankly, I don't really get the whole game streaming thing, but I mean, it's more for us.

00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:35.360
We're not doing like a let's play. This is more of just we're doing a normal

00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:40.880
we're probably going to be talking about random stuff just like we do in the afterparty. Yeah. But just instead of

00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:45.120
the whole screen being us, it'll probably be a small webcam view and then

00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:48.880
Super Mario World. And like who doesn't like Super Mario World? Can I have a

00:05:46.320 --> 00:05:54.080
webcam view of you? What are you wearing? What? That's true.

00:05:51.680 --> 00:06:00.479
I can see what you're wearing. Your exposed knees are very sensual today.

00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:04.960
Exposed knees. Well, slip shorts to work, which I mean, I'm not the best

00:06:02.479 --> 00:06:08.400
dressed gentleman. You wear sandals. That's true. But sandals are very

00:06:06.880 --> 00:06:12.560
practical. And you only wear nice shirts when you need to. Yes, that is true. If

00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:18.639
you're not going to be in front of camera, you wear like badminton shirts and stuff. Yes, that's true. You

00:06:17.280 --> 00:06:23.440
probably just don't like How many shorts do you own? Uh, a couple. They're all

00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:26.960
the same. And you probably don't like them, do you? I have three pairs of jean

00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:31.360
shorts that I actually don't like cuz they make my butt look big there. So

00:06:28.880 --> 00:06:35.520
that's why you don't wear shorts. I love shorts. Shorts are amazing. Okay, that

00:06:33.840 --> 00:06:40.400
actually could be part of the reason. All right, so moving along to Twitter

00:06:37.520 --> 00:06:45.360
Q&A. Ah, watching from Norway, but not at a land party. Second time tuning in

00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:49.919
from Austria. I think this new time slot really does work well for a lot of uh a

00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:53.120
lot of people. Really, really well. George says, "Apparently there's a

00:06:51.280 --> 00:06:57.919
giveaway of leftover Steam codes on the forum." Cool. That actually happens like

00:06:55.120 --> 00:07:01.440
a lot. Yeah, it's neat. If you're if you don't have many Steam games, like

00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:07.039
honestly, hang around the forum. There's there's one guy that does Steam giveaways all the time for just drawing

00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:10.880
him random things. That's kind of cool. And he'll pick like not the best drawing

00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:13.840
at all. He'll pick like the thing that he just kind of likes the most. And

00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:18.479
usually it has nothing to do with the best drawing at all. It's just what makes him laugh. So that's pretty cool.

00:07:16.960 --> 00:07:22.720
I know one of our mods has done a giveaway. I know. Like there's a lot of

00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:27.599
giveaways on the forum actually. Um, speaking of giveaways on the forum, the

00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:31.919
user Dragon Tale submitted a Mass Effect 2 Steam code or I think Oh crap, I think

00:07:29.919 --> 00:07:35.280
it's an Origin code. Yeah, I think it's an origin code. But one way or another,

00:07:33.520 --> 00:07:39.680
it's a free copy of Mass Effect 2 that he sort of told me I could give away on

00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:43.919
the live stream. So instead, I opted to

00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:45.280
give it away on the forum in the D. I'm

00:07:43.919 --> 00:07:50.160
gonna see if I can remember what my hotkey is for this one. This Whoops.

00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:56.560
Whoops. Whoops. Whoops. Whoops. Whoops. Whoops. Oh. Uh oh. We'll be back in a

00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:56.560
moment. What are you

00:08:00.919 --> 00:08:08.400
doing? What's going on? There we

00:08:05.479 --> 00:08:12.960
go. All right. So, in this thread here called the post Linus memes here thread,

00:08:11.039 --> 00:08:17.199
which actually has some pretty funny stuff. Okay. This one's not that great,

00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:23.199
but basically the winner selected by me and Slick is going to win a copy of Mass

00:08:21.280 --> 00:08:26.199
Effect 2. And I think it's just sort of for fun. Twitter's up and running and

00:08:25.440 --> 00:08:31.280
it's gone. Love it. I have to keep going

00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:34.320
until I find my favorite one, which I don't actually burst out laughing at

00:08:32.880 --> 00:08:39.839
that much stuff I see on the internet, but this thread has got me going a couple times. Yeah, this thread's

00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:42.880
actually just kind of awesome. But where is it? Here we go. Here we go. Oh, no.

00:08:41.680 --> 00:08:48.959
Yeah, that one's not bad. That one's not bad. But there's another slick one that I think is my personal favorite so far.

00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:53.200
I don't remember where it is. I don't remember where it is, too. I think it's pretty early on. I like this. Have you

00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:56.720
seen this? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I saw this one. Oh my goodness. That was so funny.

00:08:55.600 --> 00:09:01.920
Okay, you know what? Hold on. We're going to cut back to back to us for a second. V Bulletin has taken care of us

00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:06.800
at this point. They've issued a full refund. So, we are now square with them.

00:09:04.640 --> 00:09:10.959
It's all good. Yeah. Still funny, though. This one's just terrifying. This

00:09:08.800 --> 00:09:15.480
is weird. I mean, there's like a black Linus

00:09:12.880 --> 00:09:19.839
I' I've never seen that before. Uh, okay. I think it's got to be

00:09:17.839 --> 00:09:23.640
page three because it was pretty early on.

00:09:23.640 --> 00:09:29.040
Um, okay. Hold on. Close cell phone.

00:09:27.040 --> 00:09:36.640
Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Trust me. Trust me. It's worth it. Oh, I thought

00:09:32.640 --> 00:09:39.160
it was on page two pages now.

00:09:36.640 --> 00:09:44.920
Okay. Close cell phone. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Final assembly.

00:09:42.160 --> 00:09:50.560
Okay. Okay. Yeah. No. No. Did someone get rid of it? Maybe.

00:09:48.959 --> 00:09:55.519
That's bizarre. Okay. Well, there's a Slick one that we both saw that we both

00:09:53.040 --> 00:09:59.839
really liked that I thought was quoted in here a few times. A lot of people

00:09:57.680 --> 00:10:06.399
talked about it, but it was basically Slick giving a big thumbs up with the

00:10:01.839 --> 00:10:06.399
caption EA at the

00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:13.920
bottom. And I have no idea what happened here. I haven't seen some of these. So,

00:10:11.920 --> 00:10:17.519
so anyway, must be gone. Guys, feel free to post on the thread. You can win a

00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:21.680
free copy of Mass Effect 2, courtesy of Dragon Tale, one of the members of our

00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:30.399
forum. All right, so back to Twitter, right? That's where we left off. I was

00:10:27.680 --> 00:10:34.800
like, so are you ready for Haswell? Uh, we have

00:10:32.800 --> 00:10:39.920
Haswell chips. We have Haswell boards coming soon. We had a conversation with

00:10:36.560 --> 00:10:41.760
ASUS that involves um a lot of uh a lot

00:10:39.920 --> 00:10:45.440
of really cool stuff heading our way. So, we're going to be hopefully doing

00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:51.279
like some build guides and some benchmarks and talking about Haswell. A

00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:55.920
whole a whole heck of a lot. Um Andy wants to know when we're expecting the

00:10:52.800 --> 00:10:57.519
NVIDIA 700 series. We have no idea. And

00:10:55.920 --> 00:11:02.399
if we did, we wouldn't be able to tell you. So, if we did, I would tell you we

00:11:00.640 --> 00:11:06.000
have no idea. So, there you go. That should tell you all you need to know.

00:11:04.079 --> 00:11:13.120
Uh, Slick, have you tried Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon yet? No. Why not? So, well,

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:15.440
I don't have a code yet. Oh,

00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:18.519
well, you have a Never Settle. Yeah, but they haven't sent out I don't think

00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:22.880
Never Settle has sent out their codes yet. So, I'm waiting for Never Settle to

00:11:21.040 --> 00:11:27.680
send out their codes and then I will play the crap out of Blood Dragon. I'm

00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:31.440
so excited. You saw that gift I showed you, right? Yes. It's a It's a gift

00:11:29.920 --> 00:11:36.399
where two guys are fighting on the road and then some gigantic techno lizard

00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:44.120
just dives by and takes the guy out. I'm just like, "Oh, I'm so excited for this

00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:48.079
game. It's so 80s." Oh my goodness. So

00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:49.839
excited. Uh, so what's up with Haswell?

00:11:48.079 --> 00:11:53.040
What would you expect from online gaming platforms in the future? We've talked

00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:57.680
about that a fair bit, I think, already on previous live streams. 15th top

00:11:55.760 --> 00:12:02.959
poster on the forums today is apparently Dylan Grant. Nice. Awesome. Yes, Super

00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:08.000
Mario finally is coming here. Do you want to scooch forward a little bit? Apparently you're a little out of focus.

00:12:05.760 --> 00:12:13.839
Tuning in from Sweden at 1:00 a.m. Love it, guys. Thank you for tuning in. And

00:12:10.959 --> 00:12:20.240
apparently lots of new interactions. Oh, this is interesting. So, we got our

00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:22.560
hands on a 7990 today. Um, but the only

00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:27.040
hands-on time we had with it was to basically just like video the card

00:12:24.880 --> 00:12:30.600
itself. We didn't actually get a chance to benchmark it at all, which was sort

00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:36.800
of disappointing. Um, so that made me that made me sad,

00:12:34.040 --> 00:12:42.240
but hopefully we'll get a chance to really benchmark it. The problem with

00:12:38.560 --> 00:12:44.079
benchmarking the 7990 is that due to the

00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:47.920
fact that it's running Crossfire and AMD's drivers aren't really optimized

00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:52.720
for um the best frame times, the frame rates

00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:56.800
might be really high, but the actual perceived performance is not necessarily

00:12:54.959 --> 00:13:02.639
that high on a Crossfire solution right now. And unless you have a really

00:12:58.560 --> 00:13:04.560
high-end capture PC with um some special

00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:09.200
software and a lot of time to sit down and and really go through frame by frame

00:13:06.959 --> 00:13:14.880
what was actually being displayed. It's really hard to get performance numbers

00:13:11.040 --> 00:13:16.880
for Crossfire these days until AMD fixes

00:13:14.880 --> 00:13:21.200
the issue. They have a prototype driver that looks a lot better, but it's

00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:25.360
nowhere near available to the public yet. So, supposed to be like 20%

00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:29.680
increase, right? Um Oh, way better. Way better than that. like in terms of the

00:13:27.040 --> 00:13:33.200
perceived performance and the perceived u stutteringness of it, it's supposed to

00:13:31.839 --> 00:13:39.200
be absolutely way better. Can you email that to me so that I can open it up over there? Yeah. All right. So, we found I'm

00:13:37.680 --> 00:13:44.720
trying to get the user's name. We found the meme that was sort of mine and uh

00:13:41.760 --> 00:13:48.800
mine and Slick's favorite so far that we dug through a thread only to find out it

00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:52.639
like isn't there anymore for some reason. I have no idea why. So, we're

00:13:50.959 --> 00:13:55.920
going to bring that up soon. Uh we're going to have a guest next week. I don't

00:13:54.079 --> 00:13:59.680
know if I told you this yet. vaguely mentioned something, but I don't

00:13:57.839 --> 00:14:03.040
actually know what's going on. Okay, so our guest here, I'm just going to open

00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:07.839
up our live stream agenda here, and I'll take you to his website. So, he's a bit

00:14:05.199 --> 00:14:13.680
of a local technology media personality. He goes by the name of Steve Doto. So,

00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:18.240
there you go. He's got a website. He does more radio stuff. he's uh he's a

00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:23.279
little bit more focused on the business side of the technology and how to how to

00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:27.360
enable yourself to sort of save time and make your life a little bit better with

00:14:24.880 --> 00:14:31.360
it. He doesn't focus on graphics cards or stuff like that. So, I asked him to

00:14:28.880 --> 00:14:35.839
come do a 20-minut segment or so. He does a lot of speaking engagements

00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:38.720
locally. So, um so yeah, I had I had a meeting with him and he was he was

00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:44.320
interested in coming in and joining us. So, I think it'll be interesting to just kind of do the whole guest thing again

00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:48.920
and see how it goes. uh very knowledgeable. He's been doing I

00:14:46.880 --> 00:14:54.240
mean he's run um TV broadcast tech shows in the past.

00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:58.160
He's done online tech shows. Like I said, he does radio now. Extremely

00:14:55.839 --> 00:15:05.760
experienced. He's been doing tech talks since I mean I basically knew where to

00:15:01.199 --> 00:15:06.959
find the turbo button on a 386 or 486 or

00:15:05.760 --> 00:15:12.959
whichever one was the one that came with a turbo button on. I can't even remember anymore. So, uh so yeah, that should be

00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:15.920
kind of fun. Um, I don't know how carefully you've gone through some of

00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:22.160
the topics that I submitted for the live stream, but have you seen this yet?

00:15:18.880 --> 00:15:24.240
Yeah, crazy. So, guys, absolutely nuts.

00:15:22.160 --> 00:15:28.199
Check this out. I don't know what ad that is, but uh this is from uh this is

00:15:26.800 --> 00:15:34.480
from nofilmchool.com. Netflix streaming loses

00:15:30.880 --> 00:15:37.600
2,000 titles as Universal and MGM

00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:40.720
licenses expire. So, there's a lot of

00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:43.279
talk right now about what the heck does

00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:47.839
this actually mean? And I'm gonna I'm going to throw this at Slick. And so,

00:15:44.880 --> 00:15:50.959
what's your take on this? I'm kind of worried for

00:15:48.839 --> 00:15:59.120
Netflix. And it's actually pretty brutal. That's so many titles. How 1794

00:15:54.240 --> 00:16:00.959
1794 titles. And I guess the thing that

00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:05.160
sort of got a lot of people scratching their heads right now is that at the

00:16:03.920 --> 00:16:11.040
same time, Warner Brothers is launching their

00:16:07.839 --> 00:16:12.880
archival video service. Yeah. Which is

00:16:11.040 --> 00:16:17.120
more focused on older and obscure titles, but there's some overlap with

00:16:15.199 --> 00:16:25.040
the stuff that the license just expired from Netflix for.

00:16:20.920 --> 00:16:28.240
And it's like, okay, so you got your own

00:16:25.040 --> 00:16:31.120
service now. Netflix is branching out

00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:34.959
into content creation now. Like crazy. Like crazy. They're investing. People

00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:41.279
are apparently really liking it, too. So, I mean, at some point in the

00:16:37.880 --> 00:16:42.720
future, is is ne does Netflix become

00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:47.440
pretty much the same as any other content delivery company, except they

00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:51.600
were the kick in the pants that forces the other guys to figure out this whole

00:16:49.199 --> 00:16:56.880
digital content distribution thing, right? The reason why everyone pirates

00:16:54.079 --> 00:17:00.959
everything. So maybe at some point I mean what I what I've loved about Nve

00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:05.480
I've only used Netflix for I had it for a few weeks because I'm a cheapkate and

00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:10.240
I don't really watch movies like I I just actually don't

00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:15.839
watch movies. I've watched one movie since my son was born and that was over

00:17:12.959 --> 00:17:20.160
a year ago. I went to see The Hobbit. That was it. It's like okay. Um, so I

00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:27.039
don't really watch movies, so I didn't have it for long. But what I liked about it is that you weren't locked into this

00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:31.039
service or that service or that service to the point where all of a sudden if

00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:34.080
you're paying $7 a month for 10 different services, it costs just as

00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:39.360
much as a cable subscription, which is what I'm trying to get rid of. Yeah. At

00:17:36.320 --> 00:17:41.120
that point, um, so are we moving towards

00:17:39.360 --> 00:17:46.480
more fragmentation where each of the studios maintains their own content

00:17:43.320 --> 00:17:48.080
library? Is someone like YouTube gonna

00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:52.640
win to the point where they get all the original programming? Well, it could

00:17:50.320 --> 00:17:55.440
explode and then come back in because they're they're doing the subscriber

00:17:53.840 --> 00:17:59.120
thing on YouTube. Like everyone is trying to you know how YouTube rolled

00:17:57.120 --> 00:18:03.200
out their like you can set up your channels as a subscription base. Yes.

00:18:01.280 --> 00:18:09.440
Um, everyone is kind of rolling out their own big content subscription

00:18:06.080 --> 00:18:11.440
setup. And I'm wondering if everyone all

00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:15.600
the users are going to go, "This is too much

00:18:12.520 --> 00:18:17.120
crap." And like they're going to want to

00:18:15.600 --> 00:18:21.679
go back to just one group that maybe charges more. So maybe it's going to get

00:18:19.520 --> 00:18:24.559
out of Netflix's hands for a while and then someone, whether it's Netflix or

00:18:23.360 --> 00:18:30.799
maybe someone else, might be able to pull it all back together because it's going to be frustrating managing like 10

00:18:28.360 --> 00:18:34.080
different subscriptions for all your stuff. Oh yeah, it's just ridiculous.

00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:38.320
It's annoying. That was nice. Like United States based

00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:41.760
Netflix, Canadian Netflix was never really that strong, but United

00:18:39.840 --> 00:18:45.840
States-based Netflix where you just kind of had everything. Yeah. Almost all the

00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:49.120
movies you could think of, tons of documentaries, all the shows, almost.

00:18:47.760 --> 00:18:53.360
And quite frankly, that's the kind of thing I could see myself subscribing to,

00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:59.440
whereas Canadian Netflix really wasn't that special. Yeah, VPNs. Um, yeah, VPN,

00:18:57.360 --> 00:19:03.039
true enough. But yeah, so there's a lot of uh there's

00:19:01.360 --> 00:19:08.720
a lot of stuff being pulled off. So things like uh so hold on, hold on. Here

00:19:05.679 --> 00:19:09.919
we go. So South Park is is off, but it's

00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:15.360
not that big of a deal because you can watch South Park online legally anyway.

00:19:12.320 --> 00:19:17.440
Um Audrey Rose, James Bond classics like

00:19:15.360 --> 00:19:21.600
Dr. and golding cuz those are still pretty good to watch. Um, so Netflix's

00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:25.919
take on this is you know what our library has always been in flux. We're

00:19:24.080 --> 00:19:30.160
also adding I think they said they were adding several Yeah. 500 titles are

00:19:28.320 --> 00:19:34.720
being added May 1st. So that was 2 days ago. So they're losing almost 1,800 but

00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:37.640
a lot of them are very possibly super old that people possibly aren't watching

00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:42.320
that much. So they're adding Bachelorette, adding Hunger Games,

00:19:39.919 --> 00:19:45.039
adding Mission Impossible 2. I mean, it's one of those things where if you're

00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:48.840
subscribing to Netflix as a service, it's kind of like if I turn it on,

00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:53.760
there'll be something to watch. Mission probably accomplished as

00:19:51.520 --> 00:19:58.000
long as they can maintain. Well, especially the States one. Yeah. Where I

00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:04.799
think this is going on. Yeah. Because they have so much stuff.

00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:10.000
Which actually reminds me um there was huge news the other day that I actually

00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:12.960
didn't have in our live stream um in our live stream document, but I'm going to

00:20:11.280 --> 00:20:20.240
open this up. I just moved it over there now. So, the first major YouTube channel

00:20:17.520 --> 00:20:27.120
acquisition just went down. So, DreamWorks announced the acquisition of

00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:29.640
Awesomeness TV for 33 million, which is

00:20:27.120 --> 00:20:35.960
absolutely incredible. So, Awesomeness TV

00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:38.799
was okay. Mark Turbique and hold on.

00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:42.240
Yeah. So, he's basically been involved in some other uh So, okay. Yeah. Yeah.

00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:45.840
Here we go. The key to this success according to Turbique was Robin's

00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:51.039
experience creating traditional television content aimed at young viewers such as Smallville and One Tree

00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:54.120
Hill. So, they basically took this channel. They got one of YouTube's

00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:59.120
grants. I think they got 3 and a half Yeah, 3.5 million from

00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:03.360
the series A round last summer, which added to a 5 million original content

00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:08.159
grant from YouTube. So, they got a bunch of money to build this channel. They

00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:12.480
built it up to 500,000 subscribers and around 80 million monthly views. So,

00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:18.320
this was on Po Daily, just so that we're citing our source here.

00:21:15.159 --> 00:21:21.760
um they got it up to that level and all

00:21:18.320 --> 00:21:24.480
of a sudden it's worth 33 million which

00:21:21.760 --> 00:21:30.240
is incredible because this could be the beginning of you know guys like I mean

00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:32.880
YouTube hasn't really said okay yeah

00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:35.360
we're going to develop content we're going to hire all the people and do it I

00:21:34.320 --> 00:21:41.840
don't think they're interested in that they want to be a platform but they've started investing in content creators uh

00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:47.600
whether it's Freddy Wong or whether it's Awesomeness TV or whoever else to turn

00:21:44.320 --> 00:21:50.159
their platform into something that major

00:21:47.600 --> 00:21:55.039
studios like DreamWorks are going to walk in and buy and start being content

00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:59.440
producers on YouTube's platform, which makes room for premium channels that

00:21:57.760 --> 00:22:03.919
people will actually legitimately, I think, pay for.

00:22:01.520 --> 00:22:08.240
Interesting. One thing like Freddy Wong and stuff, it almost sucks that it's

00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:10.720
named exactly after him because for him,

00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:14.000
he probably can't sell it, but or if he did sell it, he'd have to stay a part of

00:22:12.080 --> 00:22:18.480
it. But that's what's going on here as well. Oh, he's staying a part of it.

00:22:15.280 --> 00:22:20.960
He's staying on board. So, hold on. Let

00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:27.200
me just uh let me just browse down. I I read this sort of in with great interest

00:22:23.280 --> 00:22:29.120
uh last last night, which was Yeah, it

00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:33.760
just it kind of blew my mind. So, he's going to stay on for I think it

00:22:31.080 --> 00:22:37.840
was can't see how long, but yeah. So, so Robins is staying on and he's going to

00:22:35.679 --> 00:22:41.280
be continuing to to develop it under DreamWorks. Of course, if they're

00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:45.360
acquiring it for 33 million, they probably have some more money earmarked

00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:52.520
to continue to invest in it and make it uh more awesome. But what I figure based

00:22:47.840 --> 00:22:52.520
on this is that I must be a millionaire.

00:22:54.559 --> 00:23:00.799
I'm worth about four million views a month online as tech tips. So, I figure

00:22:58.320 --> 00:23:06.320
it it works out perfectly such that uh you can just extrapolate. And so, no.

00:23:03.919 --> 00:23:09.280
Yeah. Okay. I guess our production values aren't really there. That's never

00:23:07.679 --> 00:23:14.320
really been our strength, has it? No, no, no. I guess it has. And like the

00:23:11.360 --> 00:23:18.400
sale of a tech channel on YouTube, I don't think is quite as much as like an

00:23:15.919 --> 00:23:21.880
original content creator. We create original cont.

00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:28.240
Yeah, fair enough. But not exactly the same platform. Either way, the, you

00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:33.520
know, between looking at sort of Netflix's uh constant eb and flow of

00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:39.039
their content as well as, I mean, this whole thing where YouTube channels might

00:23:35.840 --> 00:23:41.360
turn into TV channels. Yeah. I hope that

00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:45.200
happens as soon as possible, which is just crazy. Yeah. Which is just

00:23:43.360 --> 00:23:48.880
absolutely crazy. I mean, YouTube's been they've been doing all this stuff. I

00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:54.720
mean, they've been they've been one step ahead. Yeah. We need to support live. We

00:23:52.240 --> 00:24:00.480
need to support this. We need to support that. We need to incentivize content

00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:06.400
creators to stay on this platform. It's like they support things unlike EA.

00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:09.520
Wow. Okay. Yeah, I guess we're we're half an hour in. I guess I had to throw

00:24:08.080 --> 00:24:16.240
a shot. It wasn't that it wasn't that early for for a shot at EA.

00:24:12.840 --> 00:24:18.480
Um, speaking of speaking of EA, did you

00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:22.640
did you put that meme in here? No, I can't edit the doc. Did you email it to

00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:26.799
me? Uh, I think so at some point. Yep, there it is.

00:24:23.840 --> 00:24:32.200
Okay, so here we go, guys. So, this was this was the meme that Slick and I were

00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:35.039
looking for before. So, it's basically

00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:38.240
just that's the entire punch line. That's all the punchline we

00:24:38.520 --> 00:24:45.559
need. How every joke on their live stream ended from now on.

00:24:45.760 --> 00:24:51.840
Yeah. And they never sponsored Lionus

00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:55.600
Tech Tips ever. Speaking of which, EA, if you would like

00:24:53.360 --> 00:24:59.279
to sponsorship, uh, if you would like to sponsor us, just getting content, go for

00:24:57.600 --> 00:25:02.720
it. Okay. In Germany, apparently YouTube, uh, created some original

00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:06.880
channels that are paid by YouTube to create high quality content. Um, well, I

00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:10.480
mean, okay, they had by YouTube. Yeah, they if they're paid by YouTube and they

00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:13.279
actually hire people who actually get a paycheck, then that's a little bit

00:25:12.159 --> 00:25:18.320
different from what we've seen over here. So, there you go. Seems I can't

00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:21.760
watch because my sister took the tablet. It's okay. The archive will go up right

00:25:20.159 --> 00:25:26.000
away this week. We'll be back to the usual way of doing it. Uh the problem

00:25:23.919 --> 00:25:29.840
was that we had to wait for Twitch's archive which we could then download and

00:25:28.320 --> 00:25:34.880
chop together in Windows Live Movie Maker and then we had to wait for it to

00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:38.159
upload and then we had to wait to put in all the timestamps. It was just a really

00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:42.240
really cludgy way of doing it before. Hopefully it'll actually stay as one

00:25:39.679 --> 00:25:48.799
this time. Hi Andrew, welcome to watching the live stream. Well, live.

00:25:45.840 --> 00:25:54.320
Um, what's your opinion on the Nexus 4? I don't know. I haven't heard much about

00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:55.840
it. It just seems like it kind of was

00:25:54.320 --> 00:26:01.039
there and people were really excited about it. I I I've heard sales are

00:25:57.919 --> 00:26:04.000
really good. Like like it's not a huge

00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:09.039
talking point. I mean, it's an Android stock Android device, but honestly,

00:26:05.679 --> 00:26:10.799
Nexus S also wasn't a huge talking

00:26:09.039 --> 00:26:14.159
point. Lots of people had them. Yeah. But it wasn't a huge talking point. I

00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:17.360
think quite a few people have Nexus 4s as Well, by comparison, you look at how

00:26:15.840 --> 00:26:21.840
much someone like a Samsung is spending on advertising. Yeah. So, because

00:26:20.080 --> 00:26:25.919
Samsung is pushing all their phones, Google doesn't really they do a little

00:26:23.679 --> 00:26:29.919
bit. I think the login page for Gmail now has something about I I didn't even

00:26:27.919 --> 00:26:33.279
look at it, but I saw a phone. So, maybe they're doing something, but like the

00:26:31.360 --> 00:26:35.919
advertising push behind Samsung is so much bigger, making it a talking point,

00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:41.440
right? And I mean, you have to look at it from Google's perspective is why are they going to push their hardware

00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:45.760
hardware platform so hard when ultimately it was partners like Samsung

00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:50.880
that made Android a success that were willing to build the hardware before

00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:52.480
Google got around to it. Yeah. Um, so

00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:57.279
yeah, I mean, and the other thing too though is with faster, more modern

00:26:54.320 --> 00:27:02.640
devices like the HTC1 and the Samsung Galaxy S4 hitting the market being

00:26:59.919 --> 00:27:06.000
available now, there is a unique experience with Nexus devices though.

00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:09.919
Okay, I brought this up with my Nexus S. I went through three major platform

00:27:07.840 --> 00:27:14.400
changes with that phone. Like that was crazy. And like right when it's

00:27:11.679 --> 00:27:17.039
announced as released, it's on my phone, right? Like that's one thing with the

00:27:15.520 --> 00:27:23.760
Nexus phones. You always get the updates because you're getting pushed from Google, which is kind of fantastic.

00:27:21.520 --> 00:27:27.320
Just that like awesome support that you expect from directly being attached to

00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:34.080
Google, right? Let's talk about this. So, Razer

00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:38.880
has launched their comm software. It's in beta right now. Um, I tried to

00:27:36.320 --> 00:27:42.640
install it and it basically just kind of closed. So, I I kind of gave up because

00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:46.080
I was going to test it with Slick, but what I discovered is that when I uh

00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:50.720
reinstall it might have been a problem actually with my audio drivers. I

00:27:48.159 --> 00:27:55.120
updated the firmware on my SS1 and the drivers and everything's working 100%

00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:58.480
now. So, it might not have been Comm's problem, but I haven't tried it yet

00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:02.720
personally, but I sent this the link over to Slick. So, what are they trying

00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:08.000
to do here exactly? Um, I think they're trying to replace

00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:10.240
Skype because the interface style, like,

00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:14.240
you know, there's the like Ventrilo TeamSpeak kind of style where there's a

00:28:12.320 --> 00:28:17.200
server and you join and disconnect from the server and there's chat rooms and

00:28:15.840 --> 00:28:21.279
all that kind of stuff. Yeah, it's not set up like that, right? Which is why a

00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:25.760
lot of gamers have started using Skype instead of Yeah. the complicated setup

00:28:23.679 --> 00:28:29.600
that goes into that, which honestly I still kind of like I like I like Mumble.

00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:35.840
I love Mumble. Mobile's the same kind of thing though. Yeah, same kind of thing. Oh,

00:28:34.320 --> 00:28:41.279
right. We have something else to talk about, but I will continue this topic until we're done. Sorry, just uh mod

00:28:39.279 --> 00:28:46.080
chat reminded me about a serious serious thing going on. Um,

00:28:44.159 --> 00:28:50.720
sorry for that segue. I'll come back. So, it has the social pane just like uh

00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:54.960
Skype does where it shows everyone on your friends list. So, on the left side,

00:28:52.720 --> 00:29:00.320
I'm I'm looking on his um everyone on your friends list on the left side. And

00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:02.559
then you can open up chat groups super

00:29:00.320 --> 00:29:06.720
super easily and you can save those chat groups. So you can kind of make channels

00:29:05.120 --> 00:29:11.279
kind of because you can save chat groups. So if you have like your team

00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:16.399
for whatever game you can save them all as a chat group. Are we streaming this

00:29:13.440 --> 00:29:19.360
page? Okay. So let's see. Team Diablo. Yeah. So he's got a chat group going on.

00:29:18.159 --> 00:29:24.799
Apparently there's a channel within there. I haven't used it enough. I'm sorry guys. I guess you can maybe within

00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:30.399
individual chat groups make channels. It's kind of interesting. So, that's a

00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:32.559
cool option to do there. Um, for like

00:29:30.399 --> 00:29:37.399
general feedback on its performance, its autodetected settings I'm finding are

00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:42.480
not quite as good as Skype. With Skype, as far as I can tell, anyone just

00:29:40.080 --> 00:29:46.679
clicks call and it works, right? Like, as long as you have the right device

00:29:43.840 --> 00:29:52.159
pointing at it and stuff, it just works. Um, with uh what is it? Comms. Yeah.

00:29:50.399 --> 00:29:56.880
Used it for a while. I think we had up to six people on it. And all we noticed

00:29:54.640 --> 00:30:01.039
that is that maybe you had to turn one dude up or maybe you had to slightly

00:29:59.120 --> 00:30:05.279
turn your own mic down or up, but it wasn't like

00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:10.960
uh it wasn't crazy hardcore settings. It was up or down. One slider. Like not a

00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:15.200
big deal. Anyone can do this setup. Fairly easy level settings. Like I had a

00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:19.039
fan in my room pointed directly at a desktop mic. So you would expect it to

00:30:17.360 --> 00:30:23.520
pick it up. And it was a little bit but it doesn't in Skype. But then I just

00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:27.360
turned the slider down a little bit and it was totally fine. I see. Okay. So,

00:30:25.600 --> 00:30:32.159
the auto detect isn't quite as awesome as Skype, but is super super easy to uh

00:30:29.919 --> 00:30:36.799
tune in. So, that's awesome. One big problem that a lot of Skype users,

00:30:33.520 --> 00:30:40.320
especially myself, hate is that if we're

00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:42.559
in a game and someone calls you

00:30:40.320 --> 00:30:46.559
like the crazy annoying call, it's so loud. It's insanely loud and it will

00:30:45.120 --> 00:30:50.799
probably put an overlay on your screen or it'll tab you out of your game. And

00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:54.240
like if someone hangs up the call, you might get tabbed out of your game and

00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:58.080
your whole call ends if it's the person who started the call. And like there's

00:30:55.919 --> 00:31:05.039
all these kind of major problems. This one, it will now transfer the host. Oh,

00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:06.880
that's cool. We think um we tried it and

00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:10.000
then a really really loud high-pitched noise came in and then everyone could

00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:14.799
hear each other, but it was kind of crackly. Okay. But it isn't the call. It

00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:18.320
isn't beta. That's one big takeaway people need to understand. It isn't

00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:22.720
beta. Beta. And that's not like the audio codec or anything. So, right.

00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:26.799
Okay. Might just deal with that for now. It'll hopefully be fixed. Um, so I think

00:31:25.520 --> 00:31:32.559
it's supposed to transfer the host in the call. Um, if you get a call, you

00:31:30.159 --> 00:31:35.440
don't really get a call in a game. If you get a call in a game, it'll come up

00:31:33.760 --> 00:31:39.679
in the bottom right hand corner. It will not tab you out. It'll pop up like a

00:31:37.360 --> 00:31:43.120
Steam or Xfire overlay. Okay, if anyone knows about that, it has a key command

00:31:41.360 --> 00:31:48.720
just like Steam or Xfire. So you can bind it to I think whatever you want.

00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:50.240
But it's uh control tab. Okay. Which

00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:54.720
still kind of sucks because crouching and then checking your score, right? But

00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:57.200
you could change it to but I think 99% sure you can change it. I don't know why

00:31:55.919 --> 00:32:02.240
you wouldn't be able to. I haven't changed it yet, but I will. Um so that's

00:31:59.919 --> 00:32:05.519
kind of nice. Very unobtrusive while you're in games, which is Skype's

00:32:03.919 --> 00:32:11.600
problem, right? And then the audio is not quite as good, but after a few seconds you can get there. So Okay. So I

00:32:09.679 --> 00:32:14.880
actually like it a lot so far. I I think I'm going to kind of make the jump

00:32:13.360 --> 00:32:19.200
really. I've been using Skype forever. I'm still going to use Skype for um text

00:32:17.600 --> 00:32:26.799
chat for a lot of people just because I have more people on Skype, right?

00:32:22.840 --> 00:32:28.080
Um but yeah, for comms in games, I hate

00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:32.640
Skype. It pisses me off because it constantly tabs me out and just is a

00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:36.159
massive annoyance. So I So what's the impression? You said you had six people

00:32:33.919 --> 00:32:39.919
on. What are they? Everyone's kind of down with it. We've tried a lot of

00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:43.760
different voice chats. Uh, most of the guys most of the guys that haven't been

00:32:42.080 --> 00:32:48.240
gaming as long as say like my brother and I like the Skype style where it's a

00:32:46.399 --> 00:32:53.360
friends list. Yeah. More than the old channel-based vent kind of style, right?

00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:57.200
Um, so we've been using Skype for a while, but none of us have been totally

00:32:55.600 --> 00:33:00.640
satisfied because of it tabbing it out of games and stuff. So, we've been looking for a different solution, but

00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:05.679
there hasn't really been one quite as good. So, usually we'll all download the

00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:10.080
new thing that comes out, try it for a little bit, and everyone bails and goes back to Skype. Everyone's actually been

00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:15.559
consistently using coms since we downloaded it. So, I wonder what's the

00:33:11.600 --> 00:33:18.159
benefit to Razer to create this

00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:24.240
uh branding, I guess. I think they're doing ads on it. Okay. So, there's that.

00:33:21.600 --> 00:33:30.240
Yeah. Price also branding is apparently their their intention. I mean, you know,

00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:32.559
so but their branding's all over it. So,

00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:36.159
if you're using coms for all your games and you go to a store and you're you're

00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:40.559
if you're just getting into gaming and your buddy who's been into gaming forever is like, "Yeah, download this

00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:42.799
Razer coms thing." And then you get into gaming a little bit more and you want to

00:33:41.600 --> 00:33:46.080
buy some peripherals and you go to the store. If you see Razer on the shelf,

00:33:45.120 --> 00:33:50.640
what are you going to think? You're probably going to want to buy the Razer thing. So, you think that's probably

00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:54.960
their intention then? Yeah. And I think they're doing some ads. Some ads to

00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:58.159
help. I mean, if they run ads for the hot new game or whatever else, I think

00:33:56.559 --> 00:34:01.840
they have enough relationships with developers as it is. is I mean you look

00:33:59.760 --> 00:34:04.799
at even the branded peripherals they do someone will run advertising with them

00:34:03.440 --> 00:34:08.800
if they can get the user. I don't think they'll have a problem with getting ads.

00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:11.960
So I'm not 100% sure about the ads thing but I I think I remember. Very cool. So

00:34:10.560 --> 00:34:18.760
there you go. There you go guys. Razercoms. Uh check it out. I think it's

00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:23.280
razor.com or razorzone. Yeah. Razorzone.com whatever your region

00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:25.839
is or something like that. So there you go. That's what the page looks like. If

00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:29.359
you Google razorcoms then that'll come up for sure. Find it. I I didn't expect

00:34:27.599 --> 00:34:32.720
it to be that good, especially after you said it just completely crashed. Yeah.

00:34:31.200 --> 00:34:38.560
Well, I was like, "Ah, whatever. I'll test this out." And me and a buddy jumped on and then it was a pleasant

00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:44.359
surprise. So, that was cool. Um, okay. So,

00:34:41.359 --> 00:34:47.280
apparently, what's going on?

00:34:44.359 --> 00:34:50.800
Apparently, EA shut down PopCap Vancouver. Oh, really? I don't remember

00:34:49.520 --> 00:34:54.720
when they did this, but they did it during something else. Oh, okay. Um, so

00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:57.440
that it it wasn't like a major news item. I I don't know if they planned

00:34:56.320 --> 00:35:03.200
that. They probably didn't plan that, but it happened during something else big going on. I don't know if it was uh

00:35:01.200 --> 00:35:07.119
the Boston bombing or something, but it was like something really big was going

00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:12.320
on and they shut down Popcat Vancouver and laid off 2,000 employees.

00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:16.320
Wow. And they're planning a complete company restructure. So, their plan to

00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:20.119
win the hearts back of the community was to fire 2,000

00:35:18.280 --> 00:35:24.320
people. It's probably I don't know. Oh, yeah. So,

00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:28.640
here we go. Electronic Arts. Uh, this is on Tech Vibes that I'm on right now.

00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:33.359
Electronic Arts, Shuttering PopCap, and Quick Lime Studios in Vancouver, sources

00:35:31.359 --> 00:35:39.440
say. So, this was Yeah. on the 25th of April. Yeah. Um, Electronic Arts,

00:35:37.200 --> 00:35:43.680
dubbed, Here's a quote from, again, Tech Vibes. Electronic Arts, dubbed the worst

00:35:41.680 --> 00:35:50.560
company in America in both 2012 and 2013, laid off 170 people in Montreal on

00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:53.040
April 11th, followed by this layoff,

00:35:50.560 --> 00:35:59.160
which is uh let's see if I can get an exact number here. Internal memo,

00:35:56.079 --> 00:36:02.480
something about a restructuring.

00:35:59.160 --> 00:36:05.320
Wow. Wow. That's terrible.

00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:10.400
I mean, how much uh how could a comp how could they have

00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:14.000
taken something like PopCap and gotten it to the point where they have to lay

00:36:11.599 --> 00:36:21.560
off a whole team? I mean, PopCap was rolling in money.

00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:21.560
EA's really good at killing things. Wow.

00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:28.119
I mean, I feel terrible for the people who were working for doing something

00:36:26.160 --> 00:36:34.520
that was, you know, successful and awesome and then, you know, in order for

00:36:31.200 --> 00:36:38.720
EA to have a clean start in

00:36:34.520 --> 00:36:41.359
2014. So, in 2011, EA bought Popcap for

00:36:38.720 --> 00:36:41.359
$1.3

00:36:41.800 --> 00:36:50.160
billion. And they've they made Plants Versus Zombies and Bejeweled Blitz.

00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:52.480
Like, those are two huge games. Yeah. I

00:36:50.160 --> 00:36:57.040
mean, merchandising alone, they should be able to keep these people employed.

00:36:54.960 --> 00:37:00.960
Sell some more zombie. Like, the amount of freaking zombie plushes and like

00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:04.800
walnut hats that I saw at packs for a little while there was

00:37:02.520 --> 00:37:08.760
insane. Like, everybody had a little walnut thing. Yeah, this is like

00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:13.599
terrible news, actually. Yeah. It's never good to see like

00:37:11.280 --> 00:37:16.079
buckets of people laid off. And it seems like every single time you hear of

00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:21.400
layoffs in the gaming industry, it's like, "Yeah, EA just laid off like

00:37:18.720 --> 00:37:25.359
quadruple figure." Yeah. EA acquired something and then ran it into the

00:37:23.680 --> 00:37:29.960
ground and just fired everyone and laid off everyone like

00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:36.720
Well, so there's the uplifting story of the week, I guess. Yeah, that's

00:37:36.760 --> 00:37:43.520
terrible. Um I don't know. So that's no good.

00:37:41.839 --> 00:37:47.280
Let's get a new item so we can be happy. Yeah. I have like nothing to say

00:37:45.040 --> 00:37:51.119
anymore. That's just really crappy. Really crappy. And like we're not even

00:37:49.520 --> 00:37:55.119
that fast on the upkeep. Like that was a little while ago. Yeah. It was a couple

00:37:52.640 --> 00:37:58.160
weeks back. Yeah. Just or a week ago. Still totally crappy. Yeah. It's still

00:37:56.560 --> 00:38:02.560
crappy. We just heard about it so it's crappy to us at least. And I'm sure it's

00:37:59.760 --> 00:38:06.720
still crappy to the uh Yeah. Okay. Well, James makes a good

00:38:04.160 --> 00:38:13.200
point. But PopCap made things for tablets and phones and PCs and every

00:38:10.560 --> 00:38:16.599
platform. Yeah, there's actually I can't think of a compelling reason. It's not

00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:21.280
like Android's going somewhere except like this. Yeah. Yeah.

00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:26.800
Yeah. If anything, there should be more opportunities for Yeah. Apparently,

00:38:24.560 --> 00:38:31.520
there's the goal for comms is to have only one ad and it's a banner at the

00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:35.760
bottom. I'm getting this from my moderator chat. So, they'll have one ad

00:38:33.520 --> 00:38:39.119
that'll probably a really high value ad, right? And it's probably just going to

00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:44.320
chill at bottom again. Probably won't be obtrusive. Cool. Probably be fine. Yeah,

00:38:41.599 --> 00:38:49.760
that's outstanding. Um, so would a 16 690 or a 7990 be bottlenecked by an

00:38:46.839 --> 00:38:55.920
i53570K overclocked to 4.2? Um, it doesn't really matter because an

00:38:53.160 --> 00:38:59.760
i53570K right now, I mean, who knows how things are going to change over the next

00:38:57.119 --> 00:39:04.079
month or so. Right now is as fast as you can get anyway. So, sure, maybe it's

00:39:03.040 --> 00:39:09.200
bottlenecked. I don't know. What do you want me to tell you? It's as not

00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:11.119
bottlenecked as it can be. Every system

00:39:09.200 --> 00:39:15.440
everywhere the one the one you're sitting in front of the one that you

00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:19.839
used before that the one that's in your parents' room every system has a

00:39:17.520 --> 00:39:24.560
bottleneck somewhere. It's like people ask me is this system bottlenecked? Yes,

00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:30.920
every system is bottlenecked. It's about reducing bottlenecks and making them not

00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:34.000
as narrow as possible. So for example, a

00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:37.920
system with a sixcore processor and a

00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:39.680
GTX Titan is bottlenecked in every

00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:45.680
situation is bottlenecked by something. Your system can only be as fast as the

00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:48.560
slowest component and some component

00:39:45.680 --> 00:39:54.800
will always be the slowest thing for any given workload. That's just how it

00:39:50.160 --> 00:39:56.240
works. Um so yes, yes, it will not be

00:39:54.800 --> 00:40:00.000
bottlenecked any more than it would otherwise have to be. The only way to

00:39:58.560 --> 00:40:06.560
reduce that bottleneck will be to overclock that 3570K even

00:40:03.160 --> 00:40:08.320
further. So there uh what's in yours and

00:40:06.560 --> 00:40:14.720
Slick's personal rigs? Um well I'm running a 3970X. I'm running a GTX 590.

00:40:12.720 --> 00:40:19.640
I've got 8 gigs of RAM in there right now cuz my memory was has been borrowed

00:40:20.160 --> 00:40:28.160
back soon for a while. I've got eight 120 gig SSDs in a RAID zero array that I

00:40:25.200 --> 00:40:33.760
back up nightly because that's insane. I have an XFX 1000 watt 80 plus platinum

00:40:30.720 --> 00:40:35.800
power supply and custom liquid cooling.

00:40:33.760 --> 00:40:40.480
Go. Oh, I have to do things to mine first.

00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:46.720
No, no, tell them what you have now. I have 2600K and a 660 Ti with an NRE 1200

00:40:44.160 --> 00:40:50.359
watt true power, which is like massively actually beast.

00:40:47.960 --> 00:40:56.880
absurdly overkill and beast and unnecessary. Um, an Octane 256 GB SSD,

00:40:54.480 --> 00:41:01.040
which doesn't back up. Do you really not have it set up to back

00:40:58.720 --> 00:41:04.480
up? It's just programs. Oh, I don't store any documents on there at all. Oh,

00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:10.400
okay. It's just programs. Like, I could reset up that SSD in an hour or two.

00:41:06.720 --> 00:41:13.040
Okay. So, I don't bother. Um, and then a

00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:17.359
like big two TBTE drive, which I do back up, that has all my games, which I don't

00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:22.480
need to back up, so I don't back up that folder. But then like all my documents and videos and music and everything else

00:41:20.319 --> 00:41:27.760
on there. Uh, what am I missing? 12 gigs of kind of mis mix mismatched RAM. Half

00:41:24.319 --> 00:41:29.440
of its dominators, half of it's like uh

00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:34.480
Do you still have that AON stuff? Yep. Half of it's Anon. Nice. Kimo went out

00:41:31.599 --> 00:41:39.599
of business years ago. That was like four, five, four years ago. Yep. It's

00:41:37.040 --> 00:41:44.960
like a neon RAM like a boss. Totally awesome. That was such a good deal. I

00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:48.960
paid 10 bucks a gig for it or something

00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:50.480
like back then for DDR3.

00:41:48.960 --> 00:41:58.319
That's so sweet. Yeah, it's like ridiculous. Um and then um 800D

00:41:54.400 --> 00:41:59.800
800D TJ7. Yeah.

00:41:58.319 --> 00:42:05.040
All right. Um apparently there are rumored GeForce

00:42:02.640 --> 00:42:08.880
GTX 700 launch dates. We can't really comment one way or the other. Good night

00:42:07.040 --> 00:42:13.200
from Portugal. Good night Portugal. Good night. Um, first time watching live.

00:42:11.200 --> 00:42:16.960
Love the new schedule. Thank you. Have you tried raid call? I haven't,

00:42:14.800 --> 00:42:21.760
unfortunately. I have. I don't mind it. Again, the group though wasn't down.

00:42:19.560 --> 00:42:25.200
Right. Apparently, if you put Skype on busy, it won't interrupt your game, but

00:42:23.359 --> 00:42:30.240
it also won't tell you things. Yeah. A lot of the time, so it's like it's like

00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:33.200
I either get completely interrupted or I get no notifications at all. Yeah.

00:42:31.599 --> 00:42:36.640
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Yeah. kind of with that the thing I

00:42:34.640 --> 00:42:41.440
liked about comms is and like another thing with comms just little like ease

00:42:38.480 --> 00:42:48.720
of life situations where if you call someone it's like a deeper quieter tone

00:42:46.319 --> 00:42:53.040
instead of freaking Skype's like I'm going to kill your ears ringtone which

00:42:51.040 --> 00:42:56.400
is nuts like being on the receiving end of a Skype call isn't even as bad as

00:42:54.800 --> 00:43:01.040
calling someone. It's kind of bizarre that you can't change it and it's so

00:42:59.040 --> 00:43:05.760
loud. Like I understand it's a branding element for them. Do you always know

00:43:03.119 --> 00:43:10.000
when a Skype call is coming? But I mean, when you're going out, it doesn't ring

00:43:07.200 --> 00:43:14.319
that way when you're going out. Like, it's the annoying Yeah, super

00:43:12.319 --> 00:43:18.079
common one. And it's insanely loud when you're going out and it's terrible and

00:43:15.839 --> 00:43:22.079
really annoying with comms. It's actually totally fine. I don't know.

00:43:20.240 --> 00:43:24.960
It's like it's I guess it's not the biggest thing, but that's one of the

00:43:23.359 --> 00:43:29.839
first things I noticed, right, was when I first called someone, I was like, "Oh,

00:43:26.640 --> 00:43:31.440
wow. That's pleasant." Uh Kevin Norman

00:43:29.839 --> 00:43:36.280
says he's watching on his Nexus 4. fantastic device. Smoothest he's used.

00:43:33.599 --> 00:43:40.319
However, battery life is apparently not satisfactory. Uh we've talked about

00:43:38.160 --> 00:43:43.839
NVIDIA Grid quite a few times. Uh we don't really click links during the live

00:43:41.839 --> 00:43:48.640
stream just cuz sometimes it's bad. Yeah. Um Frostbite says apparently call

00:43:46.640 --> 00:43:54.800
quality is 10 times better than Skype. I haven't experienced that. Okay. He's com

00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:59.839
saying that about comms, right? Okay. So, let's uh let's sort of move on to

00:43:57.599 --> 00:44:02.560
our next news topic of the day. I kind of wish we had these tabs open already.

00:44:01.359 --> 00:44:07.359
We're going to do some community news items. However, we have a bit of a

00:44:04.480 --> 00:44:14.000
public service announcement uh right now with respect to people posting community

00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:16.480
news items because yeah, it's um we do

00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:21.440
want to encourage people to post news items um on the Linus Tech Tips forum in

00:44:19.440 --> 00:44:25.520
the news section. It's great. We want that to be super active. We want anyone

00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:29.280
visiting the forum to be able to go to the news section and kind of be able to

00:44:27.200 --> 00:44:33.680
catch up on the tech news. Awesome. However, we don't want to run into a

00:44:31.520 --> 00:44:40.240
situation where Linus Tech Tips forum looks like we're plagiarizing in any

00:44:36.160 --> 00:44:42.720
way. So, don't copy paste the body of

00:44:40.240 --> 00:44:48.000
text from someone that you're you're pulling news from unless you're

00:44:45.200 --> 00:44:51.119
surrounding it in a quote. And I think a basic requirement for posting in the

00:44:49.839 --> 00:44:56.000
news section, we should probably add this to the to the guidelines is that

00:44:54.240 --> 00:45:00.480
you should be contributing some of your own take on it. start the discussion up

00:44:58.240 --> 00:45:06.400
yourself rather than just posting the topic and then kind of leaving it there.

00:45:03.839 --> 00:45:09.599
So say something about it, post it, quote it appropriately, and link to the

00:45:08.319 --> 00:45:13.359
source. I mean, everyone's been linking to the source really well as it is, but

00:45:11.680 --> 00:45:19.680
we don't want to run into a situation where we're like bad guys because our

00:45:16.240 --> 00:45:21.200
forum community posts um copypasted news

00:45:19.680 --> 00:45:25.280
articles from other websites. I mean, come on. those those websites where they

00:45:23.520 --> 00:45:30.240
just copy paste everyone else's stuff is like we don't we don't want to do that.

00:45:28.079 --> 00:45:34.079
The idea of the news section is yes it should be nice and fast like is already

00:45:32.319 --> 00:45:39.040
happening but we've had cases where people are just copy and posting things

00:45:36.240 --> 00:45:43.599
from articles and like he said try and start the discussion. Okay, so with all

00:45:41.200 --> 00:45:47.680
of that said, Good Bites contributed this article where The Verge is

00:45:45.200 --> 00:45:52.480
reporting that Intel is claiming the new Iris graphics embedded in the upcoming

00:45:49.520 --> 00:45:57.520
Haswell CPUs can offer double or even triple the performance of Intel HD

00:45:54.880 --> 00:46:00.319
graphics 4000 that comes with current IV processors. There's a couple couple

00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:06.960
things I'd like to comment on to start with. Number one is that not all IBridge

00:46:03.119 --> 00:46:08.880
processors have HD 4000 graphics. The

00:46:06.960 --> 00:46:13.839
lower-end ones don't. In fact, it's only the high-end ones in many cases, which

00:46:11.520 --> 00:46:18.560
is ridiculous, that have higherend integrated graphics. And it's like, it

00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:24.319
makes no sense because anyone buying that CPU probably is running a dedicated

00:46:21.040 --> 00:46:26.960
graphics card, but that's that's the way

00:46:24.319 --> 00:46:31.680
it's been. So, while it may be double or triple in HD4,000, compared to whatever

00:46:29.520 --> 00:46:36.640
you're running already, it may be even more than that. So, let's go back to

00:46:34.160 --> 00:46:42.240
back to the graph. And one thing is that it's 3D Mark 11. Well, okay, I was going

00:46:39.040 --> 00:46:44.079
there. Okay, I wasn't. So, I want to

00:46:42.240 --> 00:46:49.520
point at bars on the graphs. So, the dark blue one on the far left, this is

00:46:46.000 --> 00:46:53.640
3D Mark06, 3D Mark Vantage, and 3D Mark

00:46:49.520 --> 00:46:58.280
11. So, the one on the far left is

00:46:53.640 --> 00:47:00.960
um Hold on. Oh, this color coding seems

00:46:58.280 --> 00:47:04.720
off. Okay, well, whatever. I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be colors other

00:47:02.640 --> 00:47:10.240
than just shades of blue. Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be HD

00:47:06.440 --> 00:47:12.720
4000. And then I'm pretty sure that uh

00:47:10.240 --> 00:47:19.520
one of these is supposed to be Oh crap. No, I looked at this before. Scores

00:47:15.040 --> 00:47:21.200
normalized to the last gen and then I

00:47:19.520 --> 00:47:25.280
think it was uh because there's going to be two different levels of Iris

00:47:23.040 --> 00:47:30.160
integrated graphics as well. So, it's not just going to be HD whatever on

00:47:27.520 --> 00:47:35.839
exactly the same thing. Uh, but apparently I'm getting confused

00:47:33.359 --> 00:47:40.560
now. So anyway, here, let's just look at this. So with the premium Iris

00:47:38.800 --> 00:47:45.839
integrated graphics, you're looking at up to a two times increase over the last

00:47:42.560 --> 00:47:48.400
gen product. However, I I would actually

00:47:45.839 --> 00:47:51.760
look at something like 3D Mark06 as more of an indicator for something like this

00:47:50.160 --> 00:47:56.400
because of a couple things. So number one is 3D Mark 11 and 3D Mark Vantage

00:47:54.640 --> 00:48:01.839
are both going to perform significantly better when you have more features

00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:04.960
enabled on the hardware. So Iris looks

00:48:01.839 --> 00:48:07.440
like it's probably a DirectX11 part,

00:48:04.960 --> 00:48:12.000
which doesn't mean that it's necessarily twice as powerful, but if it has more

00:48:09.839 --> 00:48:16.800
features, it'll inherently score better on 3D Mark 11 than a nondirectx11 part.

00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:22.559
Whereas if you go back to Ivy Bridge, that was a DirectX10 level part. So if

00:48:20.720 --> 00:48:28.240
you go back to a really old benchmark like 3D Mark06 then you are looking at

00:48:25.760 --> 00:48:31.880
it as okay well let's take away any advantage they get from an updated

00:48:29.760 --> 00:48:37.119
feature set let's go based on raw horsepower uh it looks like more of

00:48:34.240 --> 00:48:42.000
maybe a 40 to 50% improvement and then 3D Mark is often very

00:48:39.160 --> 00:48:48.319
theoretical and so we might be looking at a smaller improvement than even that

00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:51.440
but you know leave it to leave it to well Slick I was going to say me and

00:48:49.839 --> 00:48:55.520
Slick to test it and let you guys know what's actually up. But in all

00:48:53.280 --> 00:49:00.319
likelihood, it'll probably be Slick who is uh figuring out how Haswell stacks

00:48:58.160 --> 00:49:04.319
up. We asked Intel this time around. In the past, we'd only asked for K chips

00:49:02.480 --> 00:49:09.440
because we know our audience is mostly interested in that, but actually we have

00:49:07.520 --> 00:49:13.599
uh four Haswell chips. So, I'm going to run and grab them. Um so that we can

00:49:12.160 --> 00:49:17.280
tell you guys not probably can't hear you anymore. Okay, you tell them so that

00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:22.000
why we're doing that. Um I don't actually know why we're doing that.

00:49:18.559 --> 00:49:25.839
because of lower TDPs. No. So we can

00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:28.800
evaluate the lower levels of integrated

00:49:25.839 --> 00:49:34.240
graphics cards. Oh, right. Okay. I hope they heard that. Yeah. Mod's not telling

00:49:31.200 --> 00:49:37.040
me. So that we can take these chips and

00:49:34.240 --> 00:49:41.319
we can compare them to the actual appropriate market competitor. Because

00:49:38.559 --> 00:49:45.760
it's one thing if we take, you know, a 3770K and we compare that to AMD's APU

00:49:44.319 --> 00:49:50.880
and it's like, okay, well, it costs three times as much, almost four times

00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:55.680
as much, and the lower-end Intel chip doesn't have the same onboard graphics

00:49:52.559 --> 00:49:58.319
as a 3770K. So this way we can take

00:49:55.680 --> 00:50:03.440
something like a 4430 which is one of the ones that we asked for and we can

00:50:00.400 --> 00:50:05.680
compare that against the last generation

00:50:03.440 --> 00:50:10.200
products as well as AMD's APUs and let you guys know if you want a low-end

00:50:08.160 --> 00:50:16.160
entrylevel gaming experience on the cheap. How well does does Haswell

00:50:13.000 --> 00:50:18.079
actually stack up for you? So So yeah,

00:50:16.160 --> 00:50:24.160
there you go. The Verge is talking about this Intel. Obviously those slides have

00:50:21.200 --> 00:50:28.800
Intel all over them. There's a nice big Intel logo. So, I wonder where that came

00:50:26.000 --> 00:50:32.720
from. They only used blue. And the whole slide is

00:50:30.119 --> 00:50:34.800
blue. So, that's that's Intel's spin on it. But, we're gonna we're going to

00:50:33.839 --> 00:50:39.200
check it out. We're going to let you guys know. What I've seen already from

00:50:37.119 --> 00:50:42.880
some of the die shots. So, for those of you who don't know, the die is the part

00:50:40.880 --> 00:50:46.720
of the CPU. There's there's a big metal piece on top. The die is the actual

00:50:44.800 --> 00:50:51.200
silicon inside that actually does all the work. And from some of the die shots

00:50:48.640 --> 00:50:57.040
that I've seen, the GPU portion of Haswell is huge. Yeah. Percentage wise

00:50:54.720 --> 00:51:01.440
compared to Ivy Bridge. So, I'm expecting a big performance improvement,

00:50:59.359 --> 00:51:05.040
but I just don't know if it'll be that or if it'll be something else or, you

00:51:03.520 --> 00:51:08.880
know, depend on the game, depend on the drivers, all these things. So, let's

00:51:07.040 --> 00:51:16.559
move on to our next community news topic. This one is

00:51:12.440 --> 00:51:18.720
D was posted by Josie.

00:51:16.559 --> 00:51:26.800
Okay, so there's a picture of what is rumored to be the HTC M4. So the HTC1 is

00:51:23.680 --> 00:51:30.079
a phone that I have been using for over

00:51:26.800 --> 00:51:34.319
a month now. I absolutely love it quite

00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:36.960
honestly. Um I got a Samsung Galaxy S4

00:51:34.319 --> 00:51:42.160
about two weeks ago and I haven't actually brought myself to move my SIM

00:51:38.960 --> 00:51:44.240
into it yet.

00:51:42.160 --> 00:51:50.480
That's actually kind of funny. S4 has some cool features. We did use it for um

00:51:47.760 --> 00:51:53.280
for like a a spot in a video where I'm getting a call from someone and I wave

00:51:51.839 --> 00:51:57.440
at the phone to answer it and it works and it's cool. Smart stays cool where it

00:51:55.599 --> 00:52:03.599
locks onto your eyes and doesn't dim the screen when you're reading things. Um

00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:05.119
it's wicked fast, super fast. the fact

00:52:03.599 --> 00:52:08.800
that they have a built-in like I have power toggles on my phone so I can

00:52:06.720 --> 00:52:13.359
quickly turn off my Wi-Fi and do things like that. But the fact that they have a

00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:17.280
built-in uh power toggles that's like this big and has every setting you could

00:52:15.200 --> 00:52:22.720
possibly need on the S4 is really cool as well. You know, nice and quick. It's

00:52:19.800 --> 00:52:27.440
efficiency-minded. But I just love I'm I'm an

00:52:23.640 --> 00:52:30.240
Apple convert. I came from an iPhone. I

00:52:27.440 --> 00:52:34.000
want something that feels like Yeah, it's like solid. It doesn't bend. I've

00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:37.119
dropped it. It didn't break more than once. I've dropped it a couple times.

00:52:35.200 --> 00:52:42.319
It's got a couple dents on it and like pretty far onto tile. Onto tile. I've

00:52:40.480 --> 00:52:46.720
dropped it. It's happened. These things happen. When I saw it, he dropped it

00:52:43.920 --> 00:52:50.640
from up here and it like hit a chair, like a wooden chair, and then flipped

00:52:48.400 --> 00:52:54.880
like crazy and smacked against tile. So, that was not cool. I was not happy. No.

00:52:53.280 --> 00:52:57.760
Didn't scratch the screen, fortunately, which is really nice. I think it landed

00:52:56.319 --> 00:53:01.760
on the screen, right? Uh, it landed on the edge on the corner on the corner of

00:52:59.680 --> 00:53:06.880
the edge, which can be a sensitive spot. Oh yeah. Um, so, so anyway, I'm excited

00:53:05.119 --> 00:53:12.160
about the M4 for a couple reasons. Number one is if I had to complain about

00:53:09.680 --> 00:53:16.240
something about the one, it's that it's still a little bit big for me. I can use

00:53:14.559 --> 00:53:22.319
it one-handed. It's extremely awkward for me, though. I have small hands. The

00:53:18.240 --> 00:53:26.480
M4 is rumored to be a 4.3 in smartphone,

00:53:22.319 --> 00:53:28.240
which will make it like Oh. Oh, that I

00:53:26.480 --> 00:53:32.640
like that even more. That'd be perfect for me. Isn't it a little bit spec

00:53:29.680 --> 00:53:37.599
chopped? It is. So, the rumored specs, it's still going to be dual core

00:53:34.079 --> 00:53:40.359
processor, LTE capable, 16 gig storage.

00:53:37.599 --> 00:53:45.119
Um, ultraixel camera, which is nice to see. Um, because it really I actually I

00:53:43.280 --> 00:53:49.359
took some I took a picture of the other night of uh of my baby uh playing with

00:53:48.000 --> 00:53:54.640
an Ethernet cable. And someone on Instagram was like, "Did you take that picture with the one?" Because

00:53:52.800 --> 00:53:58.880
considering how little light was in there and how good it looked, how much

00:53:56.720 --> 00:54:03.440
detail there was, it's awesome. When you compare the HTC1, the Ultraixels to

00:54:01.119 --> 00:54:09.359
something like a Galaxy S4 in broad daylight, the S4 destroys it because

00:54:07.440 --> 00:54:14.000
more pixels, if you can get the light to them, will give you a sharper image that

00:54:11.599 --> 00:54:18.400
you can blow up to all, you know, oblivion. Often can't. That's you just

00:54:16.400 --> 00:54:21.680
often can't do it. Um, you know, it's funny. People ask about the marks on my

00:54:19.920 --> 00:54:24.640
necks neck in some videos. I don't know if you guys saw me. I scratched my neck

00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:28.800
a little while ago. My skin stays really red for a long time. You can see it in

00:54:26.640 --> 00:54:32.319
there. My skin stays really red for a long time whenever I scratch it. So, a

00:54:30.720 --> 00:54:39.200
lot of the time it's just like eh and then I end up with a weird mark on my

00:54:34.599 --> 00:54:41.839
neck. Um, so anyway, 720p screen, uh, 2

00:54:39.200 --> 00:54:46.319
gigs RAM. They're saying similar build quality to the HTC1. Is it going to go

00:54:44.880 --> 00:54:50.240
through the same manufacturing process? Which is very cool. They they have to

00:54:47.920 --> 00:54:53.200
cost it down somewhat, I would expect. Well, how much cheaper is it going to

00:54:51.520 --> 00:54:57.839
be? I don't know because you look at like the one's already what a 199 with

00:54:55.520 --> 00:55:03.599
threeyear term phone. So maybe this will be a 99 with three-year term phone. Wow.

00:55:01.760 --> 00:55:07.920
Making I mean would you consider something like that if you were up for

00:55:04.800 --> 00:55:09.200
renewal or would you go Nexus actually

00:55:07.920 --> 00:55:16.079
there? That's a good question. What would you do? Guys, I want to hear from you on Twitter. Would you go for build

00:55:13.680 --> 00:55:21.119
quality and construction and speed of the device or support or would you go

00:55:18.400 --> 00:55:24.960
for direct Android support and stock Android experience? What's more

00:55:22.720 --> 00:55:28.640
important to you and why? And I'll let Slick answer his question while we uh go

00:55:26.880 --> 00:55:32.400
through that. I don't know actually. I haven't had enough actual hands-on time

00:55:30.319 --> 00:55:35.680
with a one and I haven't had any actual hands-on time with the recent Nexus

00:55:34.160 --> 00:55:41.040
phone. Okay. You've heard me rave about it though. Yes, but again I haven't

00:55:37.839 --> 00:55:43.040
touched any at all with the Nexus phone.

00:55:41.040 --> 00:55:46.319
But you know what your Nexus experience was like compared to the S3? My Nexus S

00:55:44.880 --> 00:55:50.160
was my favorite phone I ever owned. Okay. So, knowing that, would you would

00:55:48.720 --> 00:55:54.480
you just kind of blindly go for it? Next, very possibly. The reason why I

00:55:52.079 --> 00:55:58.720
got an S3, like I like my S3, but the reason why I got one was because Nexus

00:55:56.079 --> 00:56:03.359
was not available, right? It wasn't because I actually chose it over that.

00:56:00.720 --> 00:56:08.720
My carrier did not have anything else, right? I had like four options. Okay.

00:56:07.280 --> 00:56:14.240
Like it was not that many options. And like S2 S2 was one of them. S3. Yeah.

00:56:12.960 --> 00:56:18.160
And then I don't actually remember the other two, but like it was it was an S3

00:56:16.960 --> 00:56:22.559
that I was going to get because it was clearly the best option. Um and at that

00:56:20.720 --> 00:56:26.480
time there was only two that I would really want and it was Nexus or S3 and I

00:56:24.640 --> 00:56:30.000
was going to get the Nexus if I could because of the amazing experience I had

00:56:28.240 --> 00:56:33.200
with Nexus S, right? But I didn't have the option and S3 was a really good

00:56:31.599 --> 00:56:37.520
solution. So Okay. Well, let's take it as a more general thing then. Forget the

00:56:34.880 --> 00:56:41.599
one, forget the current gen Nexus. Would you take the guarantee of software

00:56:39.359 --> 00:56:45.040
support or would you take the beefy hardware and the nice feeling build

00:56:43.359 --> 00:56:51.200
quality? What's more important to you? The device or the software? Uh, with

00:56:48.079 --> 00:56:53.680
mobile right now. Yeah. Almost the

00:56:51.200 --> 00:56:58.559
software. You think so? But what if I mean honestly HTC has been one of the

00:56:56.400 --> 00:57:01.680
more cooperative manufacturers in terms of unlocking bootloaders. And I was just

00:57:00.400 --> 00:57:06.799
going to say with certain bootloaders and stuff, you might just be able to install it yourself. So, there's that if

00:57:04.880 --> 00:57:10.799
it's with HTC, but there's been certain phones that have been problematic with

00:57:08.160 --> 00:57:17.119
that, right? So, it's it's interesting. Um, I'd have to do more research on

00:57:14.079 --> 00:57:20.559
older HTC phones to see how they reacted

00:57:17.119 --> 00:57:22.319
to different things. Okay. Like, like

00:57:20.559 --> 00:57:27.839
their perspective on people messing with their stuff. I suspect that with their

00:57:25.119 --> 00:57:31.280
current attitude, which is, "Holy crap, we're

00:57:28.599 --> 00:57:35.760
desperate. We have to get the community like on board. they got to be on our

00:57:34.079 --> 00:57:38.960
side. We need to make this then it would probably be fine and I would probably

00:57:37.119 --> 00:57:44.160
end up going with a one. I mean looking at okay looking at sort of the fact that

00:57:42.000 --> 00:57:48.720
they're even launching an M4 is extremely encouraging. Like I as you

00:57:46.720 --> 00:57:53.520
guys probably know I have a contact at HTC who provides us with phones. We've

00:57:50.880 --> 00:57:58.240
done some giveaways. Uh we do we've done I switched with two of their phones now.

00:57:55.680 --> 00:58:02.880
Um the overall impression that I get is they're extremely

00:58:00.119 --> 00:58:08.720
pleased with demand and sales for the one which it means they have some cash.

00:58:05.200 --> 00:58:10.640
Yeah. Which is allowing them to produce

00:58:08.720 --> 00:58:14.640
something like an M4. I mean they were so close to the edge or even produce

00:58:12.799 --> 00:58:17.839
more once. Or even produce more once. They were so close to the edge they

00:58:16.000 --> 00:58:21.200
couldn't get cameras for the one because they weren't a tier one supplier

00:58:19.200 --> 00:58:24.160
anymore. Whereas I suspect that's going to change over the next little bit with

00:58:22.799 --> 00:58:30.000
how much excitement. I mean, did you see the Anant review of the S4 and the Anant

00:58:27.599 --> 00:58:34.720
review of the One? Yeah. The entire One review was basically slamming the S4 and

00:58:32.559 --> 00:58:38.960
the entire S4 review was, "Well, but wait, you could also get this other

00:58:36.160 --> 00:58:43.200
thing." Yeah. I was like, "Really? You guys did that?" We got flamed because

00:58:41.520 --> 00:58:46.720
people were like, "Oh, it wasn't that bad." Read between the lines, people. It

00:58:45.040 --> 00:58:52.040
was that bad. Read between the lines. when a major publication says that they

00:58:49.760 --> 00:58:57.359
mean like like that's what they were doing.

00:58:54.720 --> 00:59:00.400
Yeah. Yeah. And I was like, whoa. But I mean, you know, it's not like a major

00:58:58.720 --> 00:59:04.960
publication is going to not is going to get snubbed on a future Galaxy device.

00:59:02.799 --> 00:59:07.760
You know, if anything, Samsung's probably going to come back with

00:59:05.920 --> 00:59:12.640
something to prove. I think they've proven time and time again that they are

00:59:10.359 --> 00:59:17.960
resilient when it comes to being dominant at things. It's like we I mean

00:59:15.440 --> 00:59:23.119
where was Samsung for TVs 10 years

00:59:20.040 --> 00:59:24.319
ago, five years ago. Yeah. Yeah. Now

00:59:23.119 --> 00:59:29.359
they're just like why would you buy anything but a Samsung TV? If you walked

00:59:27.040 --> 00:59:33.760
into a store, what would you buy? Not a Samsung TV. What would you buy? What is

00:59:30.880 --> 00:59:40.000
it? Psyche. Psycho. Oh, okay. We can talk about that. But okay. Okay. A month

00:59:36.480 --> 00:59:42.319
ago 50inch 50-inch 4K LED TV. I'm not

00:59:40.000 --> 00:59:47.680
buying a Samsung TV. I'm buying a psycho 50inch. A key or whatever it is. What

00:59:45.359 --> 00:59:53.839
was it? Was it $1199 or $12.99? It was $1.99. $1199. It's at a new low. $1,200

00:59:51.920 --> 00:59:58.480
gets you a 4K TV. And I think there was a shipping promo on it from Tiger Direct

00:59:55.839 --> 01:00:01.119
at one point. Well, Groupon, it's free shipping. Group the Groupon is free.

01:00:17.520 --> 01:00:24.160

01:00:20.880 --> 01:00:26.880
I'm going to Look, look. Free shipping,

01:00:24.160 --> 01:00:32.400

no skin in the game when it comes to whether you buy one of these. Oh,

there's four hours left. Look at that. Wow. So, the timing is perfect. So, you

01:00:49.280 --> 01:00:55.400
my god. Is that the craziest thing ever? That's pretty freaking crazy. Should I

01:00:52.960 --> 01:01:00.160
just do it? What do you think? No. Okay. No. It's Slick's fault I didn't buy one.

01:00:58.640 --> 01:01:06.200
So, my my wife's going to be super pleased with you. Yay. But you got just

01:01:02.559 --> 01:01:09.920
under five hours to buy a 4K TV for um

01:01:06.200 --> 01:01:13.920
$1,200. Now get this. Uh I feel like the

01:01:09.920 --> 01:01:16.079
I feel like QVC right now

01:01:13.920 --> 01:01:20.160
for a limited time only. You can get this

01:01:17.000 --> 01:01:22.559
4K. Um free shipping, free returns. I

01:01:20.160 --> 01:01:26.960
forget who it was. It wasn't N Gadget. It might not have been Gizmodo, but I

01:01:24.799 --> 01:01:30.559
was reading an article from one of the writers at a fairly major publication

01:01:29.040 --> 01:01:34.559
like that. Like I I don't know if it was wired like it was one of those guys and

01:01:32.480 --> 01:01:38.960
they were saying this thing's actually kind of incredible. Like it's not just a

01:01:37.119 --> 01:01:43.440
piece of crap. And you know what? It's one of those things where people see it and they go, "Oh, it's too good to be

01:01:41.599 --> 01:01:47.520
true because the other traditional manufacturers aren't doing this." But

01:01:45.520 --> 01:01:51.200
you know what? They could. They could. If if either of us had the money, I

01:01:49.760 --> 01:01:56.240
would suggest that either of us bought it. Just to like clear up Twitch chat

01:01:53.920 --> 01:02:00.880
being unhappy with me. Neither of us should actually buy. Uh, I don't really

01:01:58.640 --> 01:02:07.799
have the money right now. No. So, okay, but get this. This is a 1080p screen.

01:02:03.920 --> 01:02:11.040
This notebook entirely costs like 1,200

01:02:07.799 --> 01:02:12.960
bucks. So, if you can't manufacture four

01:02:11.040 --> 01:02:18.960
of the screen for 1,200 bucks, then you suck. Um, so they could do it, they just

01:02:16.079 --> 01:02:24.799
don't. So, so Sei's basically gone, "Yep, we are going to screw the

01:02:22.319 --> 01:02:30.640
traditional market and we are going to drive pricing down. We're going to buy

01:02:26.799 --> 01:02:33.040
market share by doing this. And uh yeah,

01:02:30.640 --> 01:02:38.480
whatever everyone else. Yeah, come at me, bro. Like I honestly I wouldn't be

01:02:35.520 --> 01:02:43.119
surprised if like Seiki's CEO gets like assassinated.

01:02:40.000 --> 01:02:45.680
Like Yeah. The amount of people have

01:02:43.119 --> 01:02:52.079
been killed for less money than Seiki just lost for Sony, Samsung, LG, other

01:02:50.000 --> 01:02:55.119
guys like that. 100%. There's more than one person I've seen go by in the Twitch

01:02:53.599 --> 01:02:58.640
chat. I don't know how honest this is, but more than one person so far, other

01:02:57.040 --> 01:03:04.880
than wanting me fired for telling you not to buy it. Um, but more than one

01:03:01.520 --> 01:03:06.640
person has gone gone by so far, um,

01:03:04.880 --> 01:03:11.040
saying that they've bought it already. Really? Yeah. Wow. So, Groupon should be

01:03:09.920 --> 01:03:17.039
giving us, mind you, I don't think there's much margin left in that to give us a cut. Groupon kind of removes all of

01:03:14.640 --> 01:03:21.520
the margin. Yeah. Reaper is saying, "Did you actually just buy one?" I know one

01:03:19.920 --> 01:03:25.839
of my Twitch mods is saying that he just bought one. Seriously?

01:03:24.160 --> 01:03:29.359
Oh, that's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. Apparently, one of the Twitch mods just

01:03:27.200 --> 01:03:32.559
bought one. So, there you go, guys. Wow. We should start, you know what? We

01:03:30.960 --> 01:03:36.160
should figure out like affiliate programs that are good and we should

01:03:34.400 --> 01:03:40.240
actually tell these people deals that don't suck because if we We could do

01:03:38.480 --> 01:03:42.799
like a a deal of the week or something. Deal of the week or we have to like make

01:03:41.599 --> 01:03:48.640
sure it doesn't suck. You know what, guys? Okay, we're going to go through the Twitter responses that I asked for

01:03:46.319 --> 01:03:53.119
before, but would you guys be down if we found something this crazy and we were

01:03:50.400 --> 01:03:56.720
getting a 3% cut or whatever we were getting on it. Would you guys be down to

01:03:54.720 --> 01:03:59.760
have us tell you that we found a cool a cool deal? So there, let us know what

01:03:58.799 --> 01:04:04.880
you think because we got to figure out if you guys even Wow, Twitch chat is

01:04:02.319 --> 01:04:08.960
Twitch chat is like extremely in support because we don't want to be we don't

01:04:06.559 --> 01:04:12.720
want to be QVC. That's not what we are. We already do unboxings, which as far as

01:04:10.960 --> 01:04:18.079
I'm concerned is not that far away from basically just video merchandising for

01:04:15.039 --> 01:04:21.440
the product. So apparently people are

01:04:18.079 --> 01:04:23.599
Twitch chat is very very into it. Twitch

01:04:21.440 --> 01:04:26.680
chat is apparently pleased. I haven't seen a single person with this deal

01:04:25.760 --> 01:04:31.760
we've presented. Twitch chat is pleased. So uh

01:04:30.079 --> 01:04:34.799
so there you go. Let's um let's go back. What question did I ask on Twitter? I

01:04:33.839 --> 01:04:38.720
actually don't remember. I don't remember anymore. Fire like a 4K TV. Oh,

01:04:37.039 --> 01:04:42.480
okay. There's a lot of there's a lot of Twitter. Okay, so Slick, you're fired

01:04:40.160 --> 01:04:45.280
apparently. Um, what are your thoughts on Google Glass? You know what? This is

01:04:43.920 --> 01:04:49.280
one of the topics I do want to talk about later. I think Google Glass is a

01:04:47.359 --> 01:04:53.039
great idea. What time is it? And I don't really care about it at all right now.

01:04:51.039 --> 01:04:56.880
One thing, we got to do build logs before the end of the stream. Oh, wow.

01:04:54.400 --> 01:05:00.000
Okay. And I want to do a call out for the forum and something on the forum

01:04:58.720 --> 01:05:04.960
before the end of the stream. Okay. I'm put I'm putting this down. Forum call

01:05:02.640 --> 01:05:07.599
out build logs. So, I'm adding that to make sure we don't forget this stuff

01:05:06.160 --> 01:05:11.359
cuz, you know, I felt like we started out a little slow today, but we have

01:05:09.280 --> 01:05:15.839
picked up some steam here. So, we'll talk about Google Glass. Okay. Right. I

01:05:13.520 --> 01:05:18.880
asked about uh phone software versus hardware. So, let's go back and let's

01:05:17.520 --> 01:05:25.920
take some of these uh take some of these callers. Caller, you're on the you're online as tech tips.

01:05:22.920 --> 01:05:28.240
Um I like the BBZ10 because I can

01:05:25.920 --> 01:05:31.680
install apps from Android. I've heard about that. Try that. Uh Slick's done

01:05:30.240 --> 01:05:35.280
his day one video. We're going to upload it soon. I've heard that the support for

01:05:33.359 --> 01:05:39.119
it is kind of funky. Okay, so let's um but I haven't tried it yet. Um so I'm

01:05:37.359 --> 01:05:42.799
going to try that and hopefully in a review soon I will be talking. We'll get

01:05:40.960 --> 01:05:48.319
into that in Slick's I Switched. He's doing a 30-day BlackBerry 10 trial. So

01:05:46.079 --> 01:05:51.920
um no, you can't over you can't RMA a card because it doesn't overclock.

01:05:49.520 --> 01:05:56.079
Sorry. Sorry, man. How's the AMO LED on the S4 at night? The AMO LED on the S4

01:05:54.559 --> 01:06:02.880
is actually outstanding compared to the S3. It doesn't have that same blurriness. It's still not quite like

01:06:00.640 --> 01:06:07.280
LCD in terms of if you look at it under a microscope, but it looks pretty darn

01:06:04.640 --> 01:06:12.680
good. Which socket should I get for an Intel gaming rig? I'd still go 1155, but

01:06:09.839 --> 01:06:16.720
if you can hold off for about 30 days. Uh, should you get one of those special

01:06:14.640 --> 01:06:20.880
agent wired earpieces for when you're sitting on the live stream? I almost do

01:06:19.119 --> 01:06:26.559
cuz I wear I don't wear it the whole time, but I have my inear pro. First day

01:06:23.039 --> 01:06:28.240
forum member. Very nice. Everyone should

01:06:26.559 --> 01:06:32.559
join the forum if you haven't already. Linus techtips.com. I can transition

01:06:30.640 --> 01:06:38.000
from that into my forum call. We are serious business. Uh, okay. Okay, hold

01:06:36.079 --> 01:06:44.319
that thought cuz Okay, so this guy says, "I'd go HTC1." HTC1 more more batter. He

01:06:42.720 --> 01:06:49.920
either means better or baller. I'm not quite sure which. Um, Samsung Galaxy S3

01:06:47.359 --> 01:06:54.480
user so far hate interacting with Sense UI from HTC. I'm with TouchWiz on this

01:06:52.480 --> 01:07:00.240
until they improve. So he's saying software is a huge factor for him or

01:06:57.599 --> 01:07:03.760
she. Jamie Jamie could software is very easily as a Nexus 4 owner. I'd go for

01:07:02.160 --> 01:07:07.760
the phone that gets updated first. Get all the jelly beans. Okay. Build

01:07:05.920 --> 01:07:11.280
quality. I'm a skater and I've broken lots of phones. There's an interesting

01:07:09.520 --> 01:07:14.720
perspective. That's a very good point. Build quality with custom firmware. If

01:07:13.280 --> 01:07:19.839
it doesn't fit my needs stock, all right, I have a Nexus 4. Isn't as

01:07:17.119 --> 01:07:23.839
amazing as the HTC1. Both both sides glass still feels good. I prefer Nexus

01:07:21.760 --> 01:07:28.400
device. Hardware quality is way more important to Eric. So, it looks like

01:07:25.200 --> 01:07:30.160
people are very divided on this issue.

01:07:28.400 --> 01:07:33.280
Very interesting. It really depends on what you do. Like the skater, that was

01:07:31.920 --> 01:07:36.319
actually one of my favorite comments. Great point. I'm a skater. I break

01:07:34.960 --> 01:07:39.440
phones. Okay. He's going to want to wait more durable phones. Fantastic point.

01:07:38.000 --> 01:07:43.280
Makes sense. Conversation. What do you guys think about bitcoins? We're actually going to be starting a Bitcoin

01:07:41.839 --> 01:07:47.039
mining pool on the forum at some point. So, check it out.

01:07:44.839 --> 01:07:50.799
Maybe more and more complicated, but Okay. Okay. Maybe not. Andrew says, "Of

01:07:49.119 --> 01:07:55.200
course, build quality. wants the device to last. At least if you don't get a

01:07:52.799 --> 01:07:58.799
software update, the device might still work. Yes, but like if you But you

01:07:56.880 --> 01:08:04.000
dropped your Nexus S all over the place tons. Like it wasn't bad build quality.

01:08:01.839 --> 01:08:07.760
It just wasn't like solid piece aluminum. Dion says, "I'd go with

01:08:05.920 --> 01:08:11.440
software because better software means a better experience." Did Slick's S3

01:08:09.839 --> 01:08:17.679
battery life drop significantly after he updated to Jellybean? You should talk about that. Yep, definitely. Um, and

01:08:15.760 --> 01:08:23.839
then your forum thing. And then my forum thing. Yeah, it dropped massively, but

01:08:19.920 --> 01:08:25.359
it kind of came back. So, tell for for

01:08:23.839 --> 01:08:30.880
about a week or two, my brother and I both had a problem where the battery life on our S3 just completely tanked. I

01:08:29.520 --> 01:08:36.960
have a screenshot of my battery app telling me I was at 20% battery life and I had 5 minutes left and I was not super

01:08:35.359 --> 01:08:42.880
actively using my phone. So, that was kind of nuts. Um, but then it's just

01:08:40.640 --> 01:08:46.640
kind of fixed. So, I'm not actually entirely sure what even happened. Well,

01:08:44.640 --> 01:08:50.000
you were telling me the other day that it seems like when you charge it from

01:08:48.560 --> 01:08:56.159
the wall, when I charge it from the wall, it actually seems to last at 100%

01:08:53.279 --> 01:09:00.000
charge on battery reading at 100%. If I charge it from USB to my computer

01:08:57.600 --> 01:09:04.719
compared to USB to my wall, USB from my computer, it will last drastically less

01:09:02.080 --> 01:09:09.759
time than USB from the wall. So guys, S3 users, let us know if you observe the

01:09:08.239 --> 01:09:13.120
same thing. Someone make a someone make a post on the forum. Yeah. Under uh

01:09:11.759 --> 01:09:19.120
mobile devices. Let's talk about this. Let's figure out what's going on. Yeah, very very bizarre. Um, so let's speaking

01:09:17.199 --> 01:09:23.600
of the forum forum call out. Go. Okay, so first off, I want to thank all my

01:09:21.120 --> 01:09:28.239
people again. Mr. Wizard for again making just everything happen. He's kind

01:09:25.600 --> 01:09:33.359
of a wizard. So Mr. Wizard, if if he doesn't already know, is going to be

01:09:30.640 --> 01:09:37.440
getting some kind of a beast gaming rig sometime in the next couple months here

01:09:35.520 --> 01:09:41.440
for all the contribution he's made. He's we're gonna hook him up with a Naz

01:09:39.359 --> 01:09:44.319
that's going to have RAID five backup. I don't think you've told him this yet,

01:09:42.880 --> 01:09:51.120
have you? Nope. Okay. We're going to be hooking him up with a Naz that's going to have RAID five backup because right

01:09:47.440 --> 01:09:53.279
now he's using like 10 ghetto like

01:09:51.120 --> 01:09:57.840
couple hundred gig hard drives. He cut a hole in part of his case and then bent

01:09:56.159 --> 01:10:02.239
the metal back so that he could shove a hard drive in there. And then right now

01:10:00.320 --> 01:10:04.960
he has the hard drive cases cages outside of his case cuz they don't

01:10:03.600 --> 01:10:10.480
properly fit with some of his hardware. So he's like running long SATA cables into his case. Totally unacceptable for

01:10:08.560 --> 01:10:14.000
for someone who's contributed that much to the Linus tech tips for him. I mean,

01:10:12.000 --> 01:10:16.400
the hours he's put in are countless, like days and days and days, days and

01:10:15.360 --> 01:10:22.080
days and days and days and days. We haven't paid him a penny. And he dealt with not to hate on Vivolton now that

01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:26.960
they've given us a refund, but he dealt with VBolton, which was nuts. Y So, we

01:10:25.199 --> 01:10:30.880
already hooked him up with a 590, but we're going to be following that up with

01:10:28.320 --> 01:10:35.199
a full gaming rig at some point here in the near future. So, uh, so thank you,

01:10:32.880 --> 01:10:39.120
Mr. Wizard, because we're doing amazing things now. Um, IPS is awesome.

01:10:37.760 --> 01:10:42.960
Everything's awesome. Thank you, mod team, for sticking with us. Um, thank

01:10:41.120 --> 01:10:46.480
you to all the members of the forum and the mod team and Mr. Wizard again for

01:10:45.120 --> 01:10:50.640
sticking with us through these crazy downtimes we've been having the last little while. We're rolling out a

01:10:49.040 --> 01:10:54.400
solution that will hopefully fix it, but we'll talk about that more maybe next

01:10:52.640 --> 01:11:00.719
live stream. Yeah, next live stream. Not yet. Um, and I want to do boink and

01:10:57.360 --> 01:11:02.880
folding call outs real quick. Sure. So,

01:11:00.719 --> 01:11:08.640
boink Oh, there it goes. Boink. Our world rating is uh 176 out of almost

01:11:06.239 --> 01:11:13.280
100,000 teams and we climb about 10 places a day. So, we're doing great

01:11:10.080 --> 01:11:16.320
there. Um, our Canadian ranking is 42

01:11:13.280 --> 01:11:19.120
out of almost 2200 teams. Wow. So, we're

01:11:16.320 --> 01:11:24.400
doing pretty great there as well. Um, a big thanks to Ryan L. Booth from the

01:11:22.560 --> 01:11:27.840
Boink Team Captain because he's been doing awesome and contributing a ton at

01:11:26.400 --> 01:11:31.840
this pace. In about three and a half months, we should be 13th place in

01:11:29.600 --> 01:11:36.880
Canada and 550th in the world. So, Boink's doing just awesome. I had a

01:11:35.120 --> 01:11:40.560
folding update somewhere, but I don't remember where it is. By the way,

01:11:39.199 --> 01:11:45.280
there's a shout out from the Boink team to the folding team as a like thank you

01:11:43.040 --> 01:11:51.360
for being awesome and contributing your gigahertz to a good cause. Um, more

01:11:48.320 --> 01:11:52.719
gigahertz. Hopefully Wher can throw me a

01:11:51.360 --> 01:11:59.040
folding update here because I don't remember what it Okay, well I can move on. I have lots of topics to to move on

01:11:56.000 --> 01:12:01.600
to. So, uh, AMD has slashed prices on

01:11:59.040 --> 01:12:08.159
CPUs and APUs. They also launched a couple products. So, check this out. You

01:12:04.560 --> 01:12:10.320
can get an A6 3600 which is a quad core

01:12:08.159 --> 01:12:14.360
APU if I were that's a quad core isn't it? I think so. I think so. Which is

01:12:12.800 --> 01:12:21.040
basically a Okay, let's look at the A83800 because that is a decent CPU for

01:12:18.480 --> 01:12:27.760
under a hundred bucks with a decent onboard GPU. Even the A85600 K, check

01:12:24.560 --> 01:12:29.520
that out. Under $100. That's probably

01:12:27.760 --> 01:12:34.320
the one that I should have talked about first because that is crazy. That's an

01:12:31.920 --> 01:12:39.520
unlocked chip so you can overclock it. It comes with the best onboard graphics

01:12:37.360 --> 01:12:44.880
that you can get other than I think the A10 is clocked a little bit higher but

01:12:41.440 --> 01:12:47.520
it's basically there and I mean quite

01:12:44.880 --> 01:12:52.880
frankly I mean in our testing where we went 8350 versus

01:12:49.800 --> 01:12:54.800
3570K. Did you ever feel like the 8350

01:12:52.880 --> 01:13:00.000
was holding back your gaming experience in some tangible way? Not really. So

01:12:57.360 --> 01:13:03.760
yes, the 3570K benchmark's better. It's faster. And you know what? Quite

01:13:01.760 --> 01:13:08.159
frankly, I prefer Intel platforms because I find I have fewer sort of

01:13:05.960 --> 01:13:14.320
random driver issues, whether it's with a SATA driver when I swap out a bunch of

01:13:10.159 --> 01:13:17.679
stuff. I love rapid storage tech. Um,

01:13:14.320 --> 01:13:19.840
Intel's uh the Intel's like SATA AHCI

01:13:17.679 --> 01:13:25.360
manager. It's amazing. Makes my life better. Um, I use Intel platforms. I

01:13:22.560 --> 01:13:31.760
prefer them. With that said, when we're talking about $100 for a chip and a

01:13:28.960 --> 01:13:37.280
cheap FM2 board, that will basically get you a platform upgrade for probably 200

01:13:34.880 --> 01:13:43.760
bucks if you buy yourself like 4 to 8 gigs of RAM, a cheap board, and an A8.

01:13:41.120 --> 01:13:49.040
And honestly, why buy a console? The driver thing, which you and I have both

01:13:45.360 --> 01:13:50.320
brought up offcreen before, but AMD's

01:13:49.040 --> 01:13:55.520
been making leaps and bounds in the driver field. True. that and the the

01:13:53.440 --> 01:13:59.560
better driver assumption for Intel. I'm not talking graphics. No. So, if you're

01:13:58.320 --> 01:14:03.920
using onboard graphics, AMD gets the nod there for

01:14:02.320 --> 01:14:07.520
sure. I mean, how much experience do they have compared to Intel when it

01:14:05.360 --> 01:14:11.600
comes to gaming? And to jump in line with the comment right below this post

01:14:09.440 --> 01:14:14.800
actually. Yeah. Um, he's talking about how especially like I don't know if he

01:14:13.199 --> 01:14:18.480
actually brings this up exactly, but especially with nextG consoles coming

01:14:16.320 --> 01:14:24.239
out, instead of rebying your whole setup, uh, it might be might be time to

01:14:21.840 --> 01:14:28.560
get a gaming PC to move to gaming PCs. I mean, they've got the FX8320, which is

01:14:26.560 --> 01:14:32.080
an unlocked chip. There's pretty much once you overclock them, pretty much no

01:14:30.400 --> 01:14:37.440
performance disadvantage compared to an 8350. That's an 8 core, and the

01:14:34.719 --> 01:14:42.480
wholesaler bulk pricing is that 153 bucks. I mean, this is like just

01:14:39.600 --> 01:14:47.120
earthshattering stuff. It's awesome. Um, so, so go AMD. I I don't know if you

01:14:44.880 --> 01:14:50.960
guys saw this, but AMD's stock price has gone like this. So, between some of the

01:14:49.199 --> 01:14:54.080
new people they've been acquiring, between them beating their projections,

01:14:52.800 --> 01:14:58.719
between them being the technology powering both major upcoming consoles.

01:14:57.040 --> 01:15:02.080
Well, all three. They're the GPU and the Wii U for that matter. I mean, I said

01:15:00.640 --> 01:15:05.840
major consoles. Whether was that a slight at Nintendo? I love Nintendo. I'm

01:15:04.640 --> 01:15:12.040
not going to I'm not going to beat up on them. But if EA developed a game for a Nintendo platform, then I'd still go

01:15:09.360 --> 01:15:18.480
after that. So that's the line for me. But um but AMD is powering all that.

01:15:15.120 --> 01:15:21.760
So AMD stock has just exploded, which

01:15:18.480 --> 01:15:23.440
means hopefully a little bit more uh

01:15:21.760 --> 01:15:28.000
well, a little a little bit more room to breathe for they've been struggling.

01:15:25.840 --> 01:15:34.320
They for a little while there. It was it was looking like it might be game over.

01:15:30.719 --> 01:15:35.760
Yeah. Which like pretty bad. Like I

01:15:34.320 --> 01:15:40.159
don't know what a game over AMD would look like. Whether it's selling all the

01:15:37.840 --> 01:15:44.719
patents or whether it's acquisition or like who knows something terrible, but

01:15:42.640 --> 01:15:49.199
it was looking like just terrible, terrible things were going to happen. So

01:15:46.880 --> 01:15:52.480
that's really exciting. Um I'm going to jump back a little bit just to do the

01:15:50.719 --> 01:15:57.760
folding team call out. So our current rank worldwide is uh 212, which is

01:15:55.760 --> 01:16:02.239
insane. We have fist bump to everyone who's a member of the folding team. You

01:15:59.280 --> 01:16:09.440
guys, we have 499 users, which is insane. And for for all time uh or okay

01:16:07.120 --> 01:16:16.159
for all folding teams currently. Yeah. We have we're placed 15th for active

01:16:11.920 --> 01:16:17.920
folders. Wow. Which is nuts.

01:16:16.159 --> 01:16:21.120
That's crazy. There's a lot actually insane. There's a lot of folding teams

01:16:19.600 --> 01:16:26.800
that have been around a lot longer than us. So to so to be ranked 15th for

01:16:23.760 --> 01:16:29.120
active folders is just actually insane.

01:16:26.800 --> 01:16:33.600
So that's very cool. Good job everyone. I think I had left another uh I think I

01:16:32.080 --> 01:16:38.719
had left another question for the Twitter folks. Do you remember what it was? Okay. Console players apparently

01:16:37.199 --> 01:16:43.280
don't want to build PCs. Well, we should educate them. 4 p.m. time slot sucks for

01:16:41.199 --> 01:16:47.120
guys in our time zone, ironically. But sorry, guys. We got to do what we got to

01:16:45.360 --> 01:16:52.800
do. Apparently, we're number 41 in Canada. I think you said 42. Well, that

01:16:49.280 --> 01:16:55.120
Yeah, that was from uh a while ago. A

01:16:52.800 --> 01:16:58.880
quarterly pimp my rig for forum members. Um, you know what I would like to do is

01:16:56.719 --> 01:17:02.000
I'd like to do more like uh more giveaways at some point, but we got to

01:17:00.640 --> 01:17:07.280
figure out the logistics because there's a lot of laws involved that we've just kind of ignored. But Lionus Media

01:17:05.520 --> 01:17:12.800
Groups, an actual company now, not just some dude with a YouTube channel. So, we

01:17:10.800 --> 01:17:16.719
have to be we have to be careful. The last thing I want is to run across

01:17:14.800 --> 01:17:21.280
Canadian gaming laws, which would shut down my company like that. If they're

01:17:19.120 --> 01:17:25.040
like, "Oh, you're running a lottery, therefore you are this, this, this,

01:17:23.840 --> 01:17:28.960
this, and this." that could take everything. Yeah. Um, so I got to be

01:17:27.040 --> 01:17:33.199
careful, guys. There's And there's more to it than just Lionus doesn't want to

01:17:30.640 --> 01:17:37.440
give things away. Just to be clear. Yeah. Uh, okay. So, according to what

01:17:36.080 --> 01:17:41.120
was the something I'd watch the live stream, but I'm out skiing. Try and get

01:17:39.199 --> 01:17:45.120
them to send you a free 4K TV. Oh, yeah. I asked them if they wanted us to do

01:17:42.679 --> 01:17:49.760
deals. Uh, I joined the forums just because you said so. Yes. Thank you.

01:17:48.080 --> 01:17:54.080
Just because we said so. He joined the forums and joined Twitter just to say

01:17:51.600 --> 01:17:57.760
this. Thank you guys. I mean, it drives me crazy when people are like, "I know

01:17:55.840 --> 01:18:02.480
it says on your Facebook not to send you messages here, but I don't have Twitter,

01:17:59.760 --> 01:18:06.480
so I sent you this message." It's like, "Twitter's free. You don't have to do

01:18:05.199 --> 01:18:13.040
anything other than just send me a message on it. Like, I'm not asking you to marry it. It's just that I can't

01:18:10.320 --> 01:18:16.640
handle monitoring my private messages and my emails and my Facebook and my

01:18:14.960 --> 01:18:23.159
Twitter and actually making videos, which is priority number one is actually

01:18:19.600 --> 01:18:25.679
making videos, not talking about videos.

01:18:23.159 --> 01:18:29.840
Um, look in the meme topic. More EA stuff on the N page. Okay, there we go.

01:18:27.840 --> 01:18:34.000
Okay. Apparently, apparently Twitter really didn't have much to say about

01:18:31.400 --> 01:18:37.600
that. So, there you go. It's going to be hard to offer deals that satisfy all

01:18:35.600 --> 01:18:40.800
territories. That's true. Although sites like Amazon might be an exception where

01:18:39.360 --> 01:18:45.520
a lot of territories will be able to get a benefit. Um, Slick's Blackberry Z10

01:18:44.159 --> 01:18:50.800
thing will be coming up either tonight or tomorrow. So, guys, stay tuned. And

01:18:49.360 --> 01:18:54.560
apparently Logan's been doing something similar with games on deals. Cool. Um,

01:18:53.199 --> 01:18:59.600
do you want to handle our rigs of the week? Uh, I actually haven't looked at

01:18:56.880 --> 01:19:03.120
these enough, but this will be kind of I was working with this curious. Then I'm

01:19:00.880 --> 01:19:05.840
I'm I'm up then. I'll do uh I'll do this. Well, we should do rigs of the

01:19:04.480 --> 01:19:12.640
week. Yeah. Yeah. But I can do this to solve for some time for you. Oh, okay. Okay. So, check this out, guys.

01:19:09.480 --> 01:19:15.360
Apparently, and this was posted by Mr. X

01:19:12.640 --> 01:19:21.280
on the forums. Thank you, Mr. X. Uh, there's a big Intel logo at the top. PC

01:19:17.840 --> 01:19:22.800
enthusiast, top PC, top PC, I guess, but

01:19:21.280 --> 01:19:27.040
the capitalization's a little funny. With koulaler.com, these guys leak

01:19:25.040 --> 01:19:33.679
everything because they get access to all the good stuff. Has apparently

01:19:29.440 --> 01:19:36.800
leaked um a Core i7 Ivy Bridge E. So,

01:19:33.679 --> 01:19:38.719
this is a multicore, more than four core

01:19:36.800 --> 01:19:43.760
ivy bridgebased chip that'll be coming around coming at some point based on

01:19:41.199 --> 01:19:48.040
that. There's already benchmarks. Um couldn't be that far off. And so this is

01:19:46.719 --> 01:19:55.199
a 4960X and this will be replacing the

01:19:51.960 --> 01:19:58.159
3970X I guess at that $1,000 price point

01:19:55.199 --> 01:20:02.480
on the enthusiast X79 platform. So remember guys, X79 is not going away.

01:20:00.960 --> 01:20:09.040
It's still going to be the enthusiast grade platform with support for dual 16x

01:20:05.360 --> 01:20:12.320
PCI Express lanes, uh more RAM, uh more

01:20:09.040 --> 01:20:16.239
cores, all that stuff is not going away.

01:20:12.320 --> 01:20:18.920
So pretty much the summary is it's 10%

01:20:16.239 --> 01:20:27.679
faster than the Sandy Bridge ebased chips which is if we sort

01:20:22.840 --> 01:20:30.760
of know anything about CPUs and sort of

01:20:27.679 --> 01:20:33.920
anything then we probably saw this one

01:20:30.760 --> 01:20:36.400
coming. So there you have it. Ivy Bridge

01:20:33.920 --> 01:20:40.560
E just like Ivy Bridge was compared to Sandy Bridge is about 10% better. You

01:20:38.719 --> 01:20:45.679
can see the overclock that they've got going on. So, it's a 3.5 gigahertz

01:20:42.840 --> 01:20:50.560
overclock on what appears to be Let's see how many physical cores we got

01:20:48.120 --> 01:20:56.320
here. I don't even Yeah. So, there you go. Six cores, 12 threads, 3.3 GHz stock

01:20:53.840 --> 01:20:59.360
frequency. Uh, Linus Tech Tips takes no responsibility. You got their watermark

01:20:57.920 --> 01:21:04.159
all over it. We did not run these numbers. We don't have an IV bridge e.

01:21:02.239 --> 01:21:10.719
Apparently, there's going to be an X79A GD45 plus board that'll support uh looks

01:21:07.600 --> 01:21:13.679
like the chipset is picking up as Sandy

01:21:10.719 --> 01:21:18.000
Bridge E South Bridge X79. So, a lot of this data may not be correct, but there

01:21:15.520 --> 01:21:22.400
you have it. Um it's coming at some point, guys. So, that was pretty cool

01:21:20.400 --> 01:21:25.840
that I picked up on the on the forum. Big thanks for posting that on the

01:21:23.840 --> 01:21:32.640
forum. Here's another Linus Tech Tips forum news topic. This one was posted by

01:21:28.640 --> 01:21:36.640
Josie. Josie Josie as well. So LG is

01:21:32.640 --> 01:21:41.000
launching the world's first 55 in curved

01:21:36.640 --> 01:21:46.239
OLED HD TV. So this isn't going to be

01:21:41.000 --> 01:21:50.159
4K. This is an HD TV. It is 4.3 mm

01:21:46.239 --> 01:21:51.760
thick. So guys, if you look at uh Yeah,

01:21:50.159 --> 01:21:59.639
here I'm just going to zoom in on this so you guys can get a better look at it.

01:21:53.679 --> 01:21:59.639
But that thinness, holy crap.

01:21:59.679 --> 01:22:05.840
OLED emits its own light. So what you guys got to remember is you don't have

01:22:03.760 --> 01:22:10.000
to build a backlight array that goes behind the panel anymore. So the light

01:22:08.080 --> 01:22:14.080
emitting is done by the by the panel itself. In fact, we did a demo at CES

01:22:12.320 --> 01:22:18.400
where I was standing in front of a TV that was sideways and then we shifted

01:22:16.560 --> 01:22:22.560
the angle so you could actually see see the TV because you could hardly even see

01:22:20.159 --> 01:22:29.040
it in the shot. So this isn't going to be cheap. I think the initial quote is

01:22:25.199 --> 01:22:32.280
something like 13 grand, 13,500 and

01:22:29.040 --> 01:22:35.120
it'll be available at 1,400 retail

01:22:32.280 --> 01:22:40.239
locations. Um, pre-orders are apparently started already. So, the curvature gives

01:22:37.520 --> 01:22:44.800
you more of that IMAX experience and the fact that all of the screen is equal

01:22:42.480 --> 01:22:49.199
distance away from your eyes in theory should make for a more natural viewing

01:22:46.960 --> 01:22:52.880
experience. However, it remains to be seen if content that was developed with

01:22:51.120 --> 01:22:57.600
the intention of being watched on a flat screen is actually going to even benefit

01:22:55.199 --> 01:23:02.400
from a curved screen. Hey, B-roll, what's your take on the whole curved

01:22:59.199 --> 01:23:04.880
screen thing? I think it's really

01:23:02.400 --> 01:23:08.960
stupid. Well, I understand like it can help viewing angle. Okay, so better for

01:23:07.199 --> 01:23:13.120
viewing angle. Mind you, OLED doesn't really have that problem. Yeah, it doesn't have that problem. B-roll the

01:23:11.679 --> 01:23:18.320
intern's actually over there. He's been editing videos the whole time we've been doing this. I don't know. Oh, it seems

01:23:16.880 --> 01:23:22.840
like a gimmick to me. I don't I haven't I don't know. I don't know enough about it to see the full benefit, but it's a

01:23:21.440 --> 01:23:28.960
wait until you see it at least. So, it's a wait and see from B-roll. He's kind of

01:23:25.520 --> 01:23:31.199
our when it comes to camera gear and h

01:23:28.960 --> 01:23:35.480
high definition content gear and all that stuff. He's he's our resident

01:23:32.719 --> 01:23:41.600
expert, whereas Diesel the Intern is our post-processing wizard. Um, not to take

01:23:38.320 --> 01:23:43.679
anything away from Mr. Wizard, but uh uh

01:23:41.600 --> 01:23:47.440
yeah, Diesel the Intern is kind of Dr. wizard when it comes to kind of some of

01:23:45.280 --> 01:23:51.600
the stuff he does with video is amazing. So, they can they can both be just

01:23:49.199 --> 01:23:54.320
wizards as far as I'm concerned. Uh there's one more thing I wanted to talk

01:23:52.960 --> 01:23:58.800
about very briefly just because I think it's hilarious. This was also posted by

01:23:56.239 --> 01:24:02.400
Josie. However, once again, Josie, this is kind of directed at you, man. Make

01:24:01.120 --> 01:24:06.239
sure you're posting some of your own original stuff in these threads because

01:24:04.480 --> 01:24:13.520
otherwise we become one of those one of those buttthead sites. So, um

01:24:10.880 --> 01:24:19.520
this is kind of weird. This is the buddy cup, which allows you to add friends to

01:24:16.880 --> 01:24:23.840
Facebook by bumping glass with them. Glasses with them. So, this isn't the

01:24:21.679 --> 01:24:28.719
kind of thing that anyone really expects you to buy, I don't think. Uh, the

01:24:26.719 --> 01:24:32.159
original link was from N Gadget, just so you guys know. So, we're quoting a

01:24:30.320 --> 01:24:36.480
source. Uh, oh yeah, and the original link for the LG Curve TVs was also

01:24:34.159 --> 01:24:42.159
gadget. Um, so this is the kind of thing that they'd expect to be more like at an

01:24:39.560 --> 01:24:46.320
event where you meet people, whether it's at a concert or whether it's at, I

01:24:44.639 --> 01:24:49.360
don't know, a hockey game or something like that where you meet someone and you

01:24:48.159 --> 01:24:53.920
kind of go, "Yeah, let's friend each other on Facebook." Boom. I mean, does

01:24:52.080 --> 01:24:59.199
this just make the Facebook friend process that much more meaningless? Yep.

01:24:56.800 --> 01:25:02.480
I don't like it at all. I don't know. But you don't use Facebook. No. So,

01:25:01.040 --> 01:25:06.840
you're all you already don't like it before I even talk about a glass. I

01:25:04.320 --> 01:25:10.960
guess that makes it not fair. Um I don't know. I kind of see its use

01:25:09.360 --> 01:25:16.239
in some situations, but I also see it being abused by like that guy that you

01:25:13.360 --> 01:25:19.679
don't actually even like buddy me. Yeah. Yeah. Or like walk up to your glass and

01:25:18.000 --> 01:25:23.440
they're like just like hit it. And it's like, well, okay. I don't want that to

01:25:21.360 --> 01:25:26.480
happen. I don't want to like put my cup down while I'm talking to someone and

01:25:24.719 --> 01:25:31.440
have 10 people come by and like rub their cups against you.

01:25:29.440 --> 01:25:34.719
I don't know. But then I could also see the application where if you're just out

01:25:32.960 --> 01:25:38.880
hanging out and you genuinely meet someone that's pretty cool, it's really

01:25:36.800 --> 01:25:45.280
easy to just be like, "Gabon." But then if you have smartphones with NFC,

01:25:42.920 --> 01:25:49.440
go. I don't know. I don't I don't really see the awesome appeal. It's kind of

01:25:47.280 --> 01:25:52.239
cool. I mean, it's it's like it's kind of it's interesting. It's one of those

01:25:50.880 --> 01:25:58.239
like, oh, cool application of technology. I didn't think of it. And like if you went to a some event and

01:25:56.639 --> 01:26:02.080
they had it there, it would probably be really cool as a novelty as a novelty

01:26:00.400 --> 01:26:06.000
thing or whatever. So like I'm not actually against it. I just I personally

01:26:04.000 --> 01:26:10.400
wouldn't be too into it. But then again, okay, don't have Facebook. So um so back

01:26:07.840 --> 01:26:13.440
to Google Glass, I personally based on the battery life, I think they were

01:26:11.679 --> 01:26:17.280
saying something like what was it 30 minutes uh when you're recording video

01:26:15.440 --> 01:26:21.280
or something ludicrous like that. I don't remember the exact number, but the

01:26:18.800 --> 01:26:27.280
battery life's not there. Um, I'm personally not even remotely excited

01:26:23.199 --> 01:26:29.920
about it yet, but Gen 3 or Gen 5 or Gen

01:26:27.280 --> 01:26:34.960
10 of this technology is going to be just incredible. And I'll jump on the

01:26:32.719 --> 01:26:38.800
bandwagon when instead of $1,500, I can buy it for 150 bucks and I don't have to

01:26:36.800 --> 01:26:43.120
be some special dude with an invite and the functionality will be dramatically

01:26:40.400 --> 01:26:47.360
better by then. Um, I also had a one news item was that Google's saying

01:26:45.120 --> 01:26:50.000
people are apparently hackering the uh the Google Glass and they want to do

01:26:49.120 --> 01:26:56.400
whatever they want, but they're saying, "No, no, no. We meant to do that." Which like I don't know how credible that is,

01:26:53.760 --> 01:26:59.600
but yes, but from some people I could see them being like, "Oh, no, no, we

01:26:58.000 --> 01:27:03.840
meant to do that." From Google though, Google usually leaves things unlocked.

01:27:02.000 --> 01:27:07.920
Okay, true. That's that's my view of that is they often do. Um, now people

01:27:06.400 --> 01:27:12.560
are also talking about how apparently there might be like remote shut off and

01:27:10.000 --> 01:27:16.880
a whole bunch of other weird stuff. I don't know how true this is, so don't

01:27:14.239 --> 01:27:21.440
take this um directly, but apparently Google has like quite a bit of control

01:27:18.400 --> 01:27:23.360
over it still. So removing that might be

01:27:21.440 --> 01:27:27.719
interesting if that's even real. I don't know. I read that on the comments of a

01:27:26.000 --> 01:27:33.440
thread. This is an article from SourceFed, which is um Oh. Oh, hold on.

01:27:31.920 --> 01:27:38.800
I opened it on the wrong thing. I know. I know. We're going to we're going to go a little bit over time today. Uh so

01:27:37.199 --> 01:27:42.880
we'll we'll do this and then we'll be doing our uh our rigs of the week. Oh

01:27:41.440 --> 01:27:47.120
yeah, this was cool. So this was interesting. Speaking of Google and sort

01:27:44.800 --> 01:27:54.560
of all that stuff, this was on source fed. It's who has your back with respect

01:27:49.920 --> 01:27:56.400
to your privacy. So let's scroll down to

01:27:54.560 --> 01:28:02.560
basically just the chart. Yep. Who has your back? Um so the requirements are

01:27:59.840 --> 01:28:06.280
requires a warrant for content to share. tells users about government data

01:28:04.080 --> 01:28:10.719
requests, publishes transparency reports, publishes law enforcement

01:28:08.639 --> 01:28:15.040
guidelines, fights for users privacy in courts, and fights for users privacy in

01:28:12.800 --> 01:28:18.719
Congress. So there you go. Amazon only got two stars out of six. And you guys,

01:28:16.800 --> 01:28:22.480
okay, I'm not saying that this chart is the be all and end all by any stretch of

01:28:20.800 --> 01:28:27.440
the imagination. This is SourceFed's chart and there you go. But as a general

01:28:25.760 --> 01:28:31.840
guideline, it's kind of cool to look at and it makes you really think about the

01:28:29.040 --> 01:28:36.960
the topic if nothing else. Apple fights for users privacy rights in Congress.

01:28:33.840 --> 01:28:40.000
That's it. AT&T, very low rating.

01:28:36.960 --> 01:28:42.480
Comcast, very low rating. Dropbox, look

01:28:40.000 --> 01:28:46.000
at that. Huge. So other than fighting for users privacy rights in courts,

01:28:44.320 --> 01:28:52.080
they're requiring warrants. They're doing all the things by the book. Facebook only got three stars. So no

01:28:50.320 --> 01:28:56.400
transparency reports. They don't tell you about a government data request. Uh

01:28:54.320 --> 01:29:00.639
Forsquare is a touch better than that. Google scores very well. So, this is

01:28:59.040 --> 01:29:04.480
where where I was going with that. LinkedIn, very well. The only thing they

01:29:02.800 --> 01:29:09.280
don't do is fight for it in court, much like Dropbox. Microsoft, not bad.

01:29:07.520 --> 01:29:13.280
Somewhere in the middle ground here. So, the things that they don't do is fight

01:29:11.040 --> 01:29:18.239
in court and tell users about government data requests. MySpace. It's like if you

01:29:16.400 --> 01:29:22.719
needed a reason to not be on MySpace anymore. There you go. So, there's the

01:29:20.080 --> 01:29:29.120
rest of them. Twitter is across the board. Sonic.net across the board. Um,

01:29:27.040 --> 01:29:32.639
Verizon. Yeah, not looking too good. Yahoo not looking too good. So, I just

01:29:31.199 --> 01:29:38.159
thought this was a really cool article. I wanted to make sure you guys see it. Head over to SourceFed, check it out.

01:29:36.239 --> 01:29:42.239
And let's do rigs of the week, shall we? All right. Okay. First one. Again, not

01:29:40.639 --> 01:29:46.000
super wellversed because these are kind of huge, but jump into the first one

01:29:44.000 --> 01:29:52.320
real quick. Now, this one has So, this is from PZT, who's a junior member on

01:29:48.719 --> 01:29:53.920
the forum. This guy has 10 billion

01:29:52.320 --> 01:29:57.840
pictures. Okay. So, we're probably going to have to rip through a little bit, but

01:29:55.760 --> 01:30:01.440
as we kind of fly through here, you can just see lots of cool stuff. The

01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:08.320
magnitude of awesome stuff that he has, which is everything. What are those? Monsoon compressions. Very nice. Yeah.

01:30:05.840 --> 01:30:13.920
Beautiful. Yeah, they're awesome. On an Apple GHD white. Very nice. Very nice.

01:30:10.880 --> 01:30:15.440
Swiftech dual DDC block or pump top.

01:30:13.920 --> 01:30:21.199
Yeah. NZXT switch again. Uh, yeah, I think

01:30:18.840 --> 01:30:26.239
so. I just saw the bottom of it there. Yeah.

01:30:22.880 --> 01:30:28.080
GED wings. Nice choice.

01:30:26.239 --> 01:30:32.400
Coolance quick connects. You'll see what those are for soon. Okay, we're gonna

01:30:30.960 --> 01:30:35.800
have to just blow through. There is actually a ton of pictures like fly

01:30:34.480 --> 01:30:39.360
through it quite a bit. And then when you start seeing

01:30:37.840 --> 01:30:42.880
certain things Gigabyte board. Here we go. As he's just starting. There's a

01:30:41.199 --> 01:30:45.840
test fit. Ah, very nice. He's putting quick

01:30:44.400 --> 01:30:51.199
connects on all the components so that you can easily upgrade

01:30:48.120 --> 01:30:53.920
things. Very nice. Very nice. makes

01:30:51.199 --> 01:30:58.400
maintenance a lot less work. Wait for it. It gets super awesome all

01:30:56.639 --> 01:31:01.920
of a sudden. There we go. So that's It changes quite a bit from there. So just

01:30:59.920 --> 01:31:06.239
keep going. Okay. Crazy finger at the front. Okay. Okay.

01:31:04.239 --> 01:31:11.120
It changes like we're like not even that far through it. Um Dominator Platinums.

01:31:09.040 --> 01:31:16.239
Oh, here. Here. Go up a little bit. Whoa. Here we go. Yeah. So what's going

01:31:14.159 --> 01:31:19.920
on now? Okay. There you go. So he's making his own basement. Okay. And

01:31:18.400 --> 01:31:24.639
running quick connects through there. So go down a little bit. So he that shows

01:31:22.080 --> 01:31:30.159
him making his basement. Yep. So that's awesome. He does a very very good job.

01:31:27.360 --> 01:31:34.800
Very clean. Yep. And it looks fantastic. Like it looks so good. He takes that

01:31:32.719 --> 01:31:39.199
theme and he carries it forward. Look at that keyboard. Yeah. What key caps are

01:31:36.880 --> 01:31:43.120
those? Uh that's actually just uh light coming. Oh, that's light. Okay. Okay.

01:31:41.120 --> 01:31:49.840
Yeah. Nice blank keyboard though. Very beautiful. Yeah. Ooh. Tons of sleeving

01:31:47.199 --> 01:31:54.320
schmexy is awesome. Going with the white and green theme. Pathogen the name going

01:31:52.080 --> 01:32:01.199
with white and green, right? So pretty freaking sweet. IKEA desk.

01:31:57.920 --> 01:32:03.360
So like look at that. Absolutely

01:32:01.199 --> 01:32:07.520
beautiful. Look at the back plate on the video card. I was waiting to see when

01:32:05.280 --> 01:32:14.880
you're going to notice it. Nice touch. Like just beautiful build. Gorgeous

01:32:10.880 --> 01:32:16.880
gaming rig. White LEDs down there. And

01:32:14.880 --> 01:32:20.560
he picked like the perfect fans for it. Yep. The gelled wings look fantastic in

01:32:19.040 --> 01:32:25.360
there. Great motherboard for it. It even has the skull

01:32:23.040 --> 01:32:32.080
because it's called Pathogen. Like it just amazing build. Great coolant. Sorry

01:32:28.880 --> 01:32:35.280
about my voice, guys. All right. So,

01:32:32.080 --> 01:32:36.800
yeah, just awesome. Very, very, very

01:32:35.280 --> 01:32:41.280
cool. All right. So, we got our second one here before we wrap up and move to

01:32:38.639 --> 01:32:46.719
the afterparty, which is going to be a Super Mario live stream if possible.

01:32:44.320 --> 01:32:49.280
Okay, we can get it working. So, jump down on this one, too. I think you might

01:32:48.239 --> 01:32:53.920
have to be logged in to see these pictures. Yeah, if you log in, it will show them actively or you can click on

01:32:51.920 --> 01:32:58.280
them eventually. All right, so let's log in as myself.

01:32:58.560 --> 01:33:04.480
Thanks to everyone who tuned into the live stream this week, by the way, guys,

01:33:01.920 --> 01:33:11.719
if we don't get stick, I hate this keyboard.

01:33:06.880 --> 01:33:11.719
It's very handy, but it's also like

01:33:13.400 --> 01:33:18.800
um hold on. I don't remember how far I

01:33:16.639 --> 01:33:23.120
was into my password. Guess we'll find out. Nope, that wasn't it. Um just in

01:33:21.600 --> 01:33:28.960
case you guys don't know, he's trying to log in. That's why we're not showing the

01:33:24.639 --> 01:33:31.679
screen right now. Are we not? Oh.

01:33:28.960 --> 01:33:35.239
Oh, are you typing numbers? Yeah, it's okay though. It doesn't do that anymore.

01:33:33.040 --> 01:33:41.120
There we go. Okay. I think I think my mod they didn't see the first log of

01:33:38.600 --> 01:33:49.760
what? What? They didn't see the first build that wasn't over there. Really? At

01:33:44.080 --> 01:33:51.360
all. Oh, no. Oh, oops. No. My bad. No.

01:33:49.760 --> 01:33:55.880
Okay. Well, let's go really quickly then. We got to show his build. Oh,

01:33:54.000 --> 01:34:01.760
that's so good. Okay. So, sorry. PZT. I can't believe we did that.

01:34:00.080 --> 01:34:06.480
I wonder how many tweets we have about that. Anyways, a few at least. Oh, come

01:34:04.080 --> 01:34:09.679
on. It's not staying on there for me. Okay, so here's where we get Where do we

01:34:08.400 --> 01:34:15.280
get outside where he's cutting the mid plate? Okay, we missed that part. Don't worry about it.

01:34:13.040 --> 01:34:18.800
Did we? Yeah. Anyway, you can go check it out on the forum, guys. That's always

01:34:16.960 --> 01:34:24.000
an option if we screw things up. I'll tweet out a link for it. Yeah, Dominator

01:34:22.120 --> 01:34:30.159
Platinums. Here we go. Yeah, there we go. There's the mid plate cutting holes.

01:34:27.440 --> 01:34:33.760
Okay, let's keep on going. Very clean. Beautiful peripherals. That explains why

01:34:32.400 --> 01:34:39.239
like a hundred people tuned out of the live stream while we were doing this because I thought it was a cool build.

01:34:36.600 --> 01:34:44.639
Uh sleing. Great looking great looking IKEA

01:34:42.080 --> 01:34:49.679
desk there. Nice themed build. There we go. Beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. The

01:34:48.000 --> 01:34:53.440
back plate's amazing. Back plate on the video card. Mentioned this before. I

01:34:51.840 --> 01:34:58.639
apologize for the part where I mentioned it and you couldn't actually look at it.

01:34:55.440 --> 01:35:00.320
Uh just oh just sexy sleeving matching

01:34:58.639 --> 01:35:04.960
motherboard matching the gelled wing fans look fantastic in there. Uh all

01:35:03.040 --> 01:35:08.880
these little shots of the inside just look outstanding. I mean look at the

01:35:06.719 --> 01:35:13.040
shininess of this. That's so awesome. White LEDs using the built-in uh

01:35:11.120 --> 01:35:20.159
lighting the Switch 810 which is a really nice thing to have. And there we

01:35:16.159 --> 01:35:22.320
go. Now on to the second build bog.

01:35:20.159 --> 01:35:26.159
There we are. All right. So, start scrolling down. I'm

01:35:24.560 --> 01:35:32.080
going to tweet out that link for the build log. Another switch. Yeah, there

01:35:29.600 --> 01:35:36.000
you go. But very different builds. Like very different build. Why hello there.

01:35:34.400 --> 01:35:39.440
T- virus in the back which is just absolutely awesome. T- virus is amazing.

01:35:37.679 --> 01:35:43.920
Everyone should have a T- virus. And like the position is very cool. And when

01:35:41.440 --> 01:35:47.520
you see his desk set up, it even makes a lot more sense as to why he put it where

01:35:45.679 --> 01:35:51.199
it is. So this build is very attainable. I mean, this is something where no

01:35:49.040 --> 01:35:55.679
custom fabrication's been done, you know, MCP655 pump, you know, nice nice

01:35:54.239 --> 01:36:01.440
water cooling and all that, but this is doable. Yeah, nice pictures. Yeah, they

01:35:59.040 --> 01:36:05.120
got better here. Yeah, they they get better pretty quick. Kingston HyperX

01:36:02.960 --> 01:36:08.880
memory looks good. Looking good. Saber-tooth boards make for such a clean

01:36:07.360 --> 01:36:12.560
looking build. They just look so awesome.

01:36:10.600 --> 01:36:17.199
Yeah, I've seen the upcoming Saber-Tooth. Yeah. Yeah. Can't say

01:36:14.560 --> 01:36:19.960
anything about it, though. All right, some more night shots.

01:36:18.800 --> 01:36:24.080
Looking good. Okay, I'm letting you do

01:36:22.239 --> 01:36:27.600
commentary on these. So, I'm sorry. I was tweeting out that thing. Yeah, here.

01:36:26.000 --> 01:36:31.600
Here you can see his desk there. You're at his desk. You can see the T- virus.

01:36:29.920 --> 01:36:35.199
Yeah. Instead of it being covered up by the side panel because the window is

01:36:33.040 --> 01:36:39.600
honestly not that big. No, it's not small on the Switch 810. Yeah. So, by

01:36:37.040 --> 01:36:43.120
putting it in the back, he can actually see his T- virus all the time. So,

01:36:41.600 --> 01:36:46.080
that's very cool because most people will go, "Oh, just to the right of the

01:36:44.639 --> 01:36:52.080
motherboard. Bam. There's my reservoir. That's where mine is. That's That's where mine is. But I can see mine. Yeah.

01:36:50.400 --> 01:36:55.360
And I can see mine, too. A big window. But just because of how he has his desk

01:36:53.760 --> 01:37:01.040
set up with his computer kind of hanging off the edge, which is kind of sketchy, but um where he's sitting, he can

01:36:59.440 --> 01:37:06.480
actually see his T- virus, which is which is very cool and very understandable. So, that's a like

01:37:04.400 --> 01:37:10.880
awesome obtainable level build. The one before that was more like the ridiculous

01:37:08.560 --> 01:37:15.520
the ridiculously awesome level. Not quite as obtainable. Okay, guys. Thank

01:37:13.440 --> 01:37:20.639
you for tuning in to the Linus Tech Tips live stream, which we're gonna rename at

01:37:17.360 --> 01:37:22.000
some point. Um, to something else, to

01:37:20.639 --> 01:37:26.560
something that makes sense. Yeah, something that like maybe we should ask for suggestions on the forum. We can ask

01:37:25.040 --> 01:37:30.159
for suggestions, but odds are we probably won't take any of them cuz, you

01:37:28.880 --> 01:37:34.320
know, it's just a matter of, you know, you want to come up with a brand identity that's really you. That's true.

01:37:32.960 --> 01:37:38.639
But, I mean, you guys are welcome to send uh suggestions via uh via Twitter

01:37:36.880 --> 01:37:43.600
or whatever else. I'll probably see them if nothing else. Yeah. So, um,

01:37:41.760 --> 01:37:47.280
apparently I'm officially fired by the viewers.

01:37:45.280 --> 01:37:52.800
All right, then. We both got fired today. Yeah. Okay.

01:37:50.320 --> 01:37:57.840
Yeah, we we both got hardcore fired. All right, guys. So, don't forget, join the

01:37:55.520 --> 01:38:00.800
Linus Tech Tips forum. It's kind of awesome. We're actually going to be

01:37:59.199 --> 01:38:06.960
doing something soon where we're going to release a video on the YouTube channel where we challenge you to make

01:38:04.480 --> 01:38:10.960
the Linus Tech Tips forum your homepage. Whether it's the news uh the news

01:38:09.119 --> 01:38:16.159
section or whether it's just the home screen or the latest latest topic

01:38:13.520 --> 01:38:20.159
section, we are going to be working hard to make this an absolutely awesome

01:38:18.639 --> 01:38:23.920
community. We have some plans to make the transition transition to home screen

01:38:22.239 --> 01:38:27.040
seamless. Yeah. So, we're working on that. Yep. So, we're working on that. I

01:38:25.440 --> 01:38:31.280
I mean, honestly, if you have anything you want to talk about techwise, it's

01:38:29.280 --> 01:38:35.840
one of the most active forums I have ever seen. Everyone gets a reply. And a

01:38:34.320 --> 01:38:40.159
comment we consistently get and something we try to consistently uphold

01:38:37.840 --> 01:38:43.520
is that people are friendly. Yeah. So even if you're worried that it might be

01:38:41.840 --> 01:38:48.400
a stupid question, just ask. You'll probably get a good answer. I had someone PM me. I This was a stupid

01:38:46.880 --> 01:38:53.280
question. I didn't want to ask it. So I I sent it to you in PM and then he asked

01:38:50.880 --> 01:38:56.960
it and it was fine. Yeah. Yep. No one worry about it. No one will pile on you

01:38:54.880 --> 01:39:00.400
and if they do, report it. We'll get it taken care of. The moderation team is

01:38:58.639 --> 01:39:03.119
absolutely amazing. Good night everyone and we'll be back. You know, it'll

01:39:01.840 --> 01:39:08.840
probably take us a little while to get this set up, but we'll be back with some Super Mario World. Thanks for watching.
