1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:08,320
Uh, hey, got it. Okay, good. And we are now

2
00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:13,840
live. We We're late, but we're 8 minutes late.

3
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:18,320
Yeah, it's not it's not Yeah, for us that's really not bad. Like 8 minutes is

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,160
pretty damn bad, but like Yeah, for our track record, I feel like that's not the

5
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:26,400
worst thing. It's like going one mile over the speed limit. It's like, who

6
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:30,560
cares? Yeah. compared to last week where we went 50 over the speed limit and had

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:35,120
our car impounded because we were like we were so late that people got the time

8
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:39,120
zone wrong and thought that we were a little bit early cuz we were like 58

9
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:45,200
minutes late so people thought we might have been 2 minutes early. How does that even happen? It's just when when time

10
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:50,320
zones start coming into play. Yeah. So good. Anyways, this week we have lots of

11
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:53,840
topics most of which are AMD based. There is so much AMD news, which is

12
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:57,520
great because their stock needs to come up. Um, so hopefully that goes well, but

13
00:00:56,239 --> 00:01:02,320
we'll get into that in a moment. Other than that, we also have a 200 Hz

14
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:06,479
ultrawide monitor. And North Korea has started manufacturing their own iPad.

15
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:11,920
What does that look like? I don't know. Let's find out. And we're going to start

16
00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:13,200
the intro using the Stream Deck. So

17
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:17,880
hopefully this works. I just tried it like a million times and it did. So we'll see.

18
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:27,439
That was awkward. Oh no. But it's fancy, but it doesn't

19
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:29,040
work. Why? It worked before. It It

20
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:33,200
worked fine. Like literally, literally just when we weren't live, it worked

21
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:38,799
completely. Okay, Taran. It broke. Well, I don't know what

22
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:43,439
to tell you. Hang on. Say hi to Taran, everybody. Hi. Trying to get this here.

23
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:49,200
Just close. Give Give us a second. Close the thing. Oh god, it's gone.

24
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:56,000
So, this this is the stream deck as you guys. It's very fancy. What did that do

25
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:57,439
it? Well, we can't see now cuz No. Well,

26
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:03,040
just click on it. Okay. It worked when we weren't live. Just click on it.

27
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:06,719
Oh, good gracious. That kind of sums things up right now. Is that like So,

28
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:11,360
there's no exploit integration right now. That's the issue. They have OBS,

29
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:16,560
but they don't have exploits. What? So, I told them that that's important and

30
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:21,280
like it is. We don't need Windows anything other than 10 nor or XSplit.

31
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:24,879
Screw it. Anyways, iFixit. You can screw things with their screwdrivers. That

32
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:30,239
would be fantastic. Thank you, iFixit. Also, LTX Tech Carnival 2017. If you

33
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,920
want to go to that, get some tickets. Meet me there. And Squarespace. Thank

34
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:37,280
you very much to Squarespace. Going to shove this back to the top. And then I'm

35
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:41,840
going to try to use the Stream Deck. Nope. Going to click on it. That worked

36
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:45,920
better. Sometimes an easier solution is better. Not always, but sometimes. I

37
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:50,480
feel bad because I was kind of attacking Elgato on Twitter because their stream

38
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:55,440
deck only works with Windows 10 and I don't like Windows 10, but I like the

39
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:57,680
Stream Deck and like I have one now

40
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:01,599
because Catboy boiler bought one for me which was like amazing. Well, but I I

41
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:05,760
can't use it cuz I use Windows 10. Aren't you currently using the version

42
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:09,760
of Windows that has the current least market penetration except for maybe

43
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:14,959
Vista? Probably close to that. Okay. Okay. But

44
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:19,440
like supporting the last two is a fairly general thing. I think that's fair. You

45
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:23,040
think but okay. Anyways, I still think it's a super cool product for a pretty

46
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:26,800
niche crowd, but still a super cool product. So, I'm I'm actually not trying

47
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:30,640
to roast them by having it not work right now. There's something going wrong

48
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:35,920
because it was totally working flawlessly when we were offline and I

49
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,360
will completely admit to that. So, that's how it always happens. It works

50
00:03:37,519 --> 00:03:42,239
perfectly when no one's looking. Taran is the one that's trying to do the

51
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:45,920
review on this thing. So, if you guys are interested in the stream deck um and

52
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:49,040
have any specific questions about it or anything like that, hit Taran up on on

53
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:53,920
Twitter. I don't Do you know what his handle is? I don't know handles off.

54
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:57,280
TaranVH. That Yeah, that sounds right. So, TaranVH on Twitter. If you have any

55
00:03:56,239 --> 00:04:01,519
specific questions about the Stream Deck, he will vet those, see if they're

56
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:06,879
important enough, and maybe include them in his review. But to start the show,

57
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:14,080
we've got AMD news, not Stream Deck news. Um, the first of the main AMD news

58
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:15,760
topics is AMD announces new Thread

59
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,799
Ripper details. And these are pretty freaking juicy. You want to start firing

60
00:04:17,359 --> 00:04:22,160
through them? I'll get this on screen. Yeah. So, Threadripper is conf

61
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:27,840
confirmed to be half of an Epic processor. That's EPYC. And I had when I

62
00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:31,520
first read this, I had this slide Gary Johnson moment uh where I didn't I

63
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:35,199
thought it was an acronym, but it's not. It's just Epic spelled with a Y because

64
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:40,960
it's supposed to be their super high-end thing. So, um, we're looking at 16 cores

65
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:43,199
and 32 threads on the top end, uh, made

66
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:49,040
of two processor dies. So, that's pretty interesting. Um, all products feature 64

67
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:52,960
lanes of PCI Express with 60 of those, uh, coming off of the chipset. Uh, for

68
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:56,800
reference, uh, the top end of the new Intel i9's on the other side are 44. So,

69
00:04:55,759 --> 00:05:02,800
you're getting quite a bit more with this. um all products featuring DDR4

70
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:07,280
quad channel RAM pre standard 16 megs of

71
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:09,840
level three cache uh an X399 chipset and

72
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:15,120
which is so annoying. Yeah, cuz I saw this I had yet another moment like that

73
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:19,759
where I saw X399. I'm just like is Intel releasing like two families of chipsets

74
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:24,639
back to back because of 299 but they're not. This is an This is an AMD thing.

75
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:27,840
Like, so yeah, I I wonder if they're just trying to zet Sintel with the

76
00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:30,960
naming a little bit there. Ours is 100 better and and Yeah. And like And you're

77
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:36,080
not going to want to name your next platform this one cuz we already had it

78
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:38,320
and blah blah. Yeah, exactly. The naming

79
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:41,440
schemes for the last like few years just I can't even get over it. And I know you

80
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,960
guys are probably even like tired of hearing it at this point because I feel

81
00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:49,759
like every single video that a product has a stupid name. uh like the like the

82
00:05:47,919 --> 00:05:56,080
Surface Pro instead of being the Surface Pro 5 or almost uh any Razer laptop at

83
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,880
this point. Like it's just it's so frustrating that all the reviewers freak

84
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:04,400
out about it. I don't know how interesting it is for the viewers, but

85
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,680
like uh just I don't know. At some point

86
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:10,800
I'm just expecting someone to get sick of it like a new company start model

87
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:16,080
names company name company product name one and just start one two three four.

88
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:20,319
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, perfect. Skew one product one done. Why not? We've made

89
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:25,919
500 products. What is this product's name? 500. It's It's like Intel's first

90
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:28,960
ever processors was what the 404. What

91
00:06:25,919 --> 00:06:30,400
happened to one through 403? Like Like I

92
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:36,000
know there was a reason behind it, but still, you know, anyway. But, okay, so

93
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:42,000
there's a new there's a rumor about the Threadripper, and that rumor is that

94
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:45,840
the Threadripper might be under $1,000,

95
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:48,560
which due to the, you know, more recent

96
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:54,639
news from the Intel camp is a little bit cheaper. The 16 core version of the Core

97
00:06:52,479 --> 00:06:58,800
i9, which is not the top end. The top end is 18 cores and cost two grand. the

98
00:06:57,199 --> 00:07:03,520
16 core. I don't know the pricing off the top of my head, but you have to think it's at least a $1,500 part, you

99
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:08,479
know? So, this is going to this is going to be quite a bit cheaper. Yeah. And

100
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:11,360
like this isn't this is a like a random

101
00:07:08,479 --> 00:07:15,280
tweet leak kind of deal thing, if it even is a leak. This is is a little

102
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:19,120
loose, but yeah, I don't know. A49 is insanely

103
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:24,639
cheap for what you're getting. And the thing is that that sounds like a move AMD would try to pull. So, I'm not even

104
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:28,400
like way too it doesn't seem unrealistic.

105
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:32,639
This seems like something they would do. I mean, there's also the whole IPC

106
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:36,639
argument and what single threaded like. Yeah, there's more to it for sure. But,

107
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:40,800
you know, at the same time, Ryzen's been mostly good as far as single threaded so

108
00:07:38,479 --> 00:07:45,520
far. So, you have to think, okay, then then we've got even I'm just going to

109
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:49,440
try to power through some AMD news here. Hopefully, everyone wants to hear about

110
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:56,560
AMD stuff. I do. It's kind of what's interesting right now. Um, so AMD trims

111
00:07:53,360 --> 00:08:00,160
prices of the Ryzen 7700

112
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,840
and the Ryzen 1700X.

113
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:10,080
Uh, so I showed that to you guys on stream. The current price of the 1700 is

114
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,919
$319. That's going down by 10 or sorry,

115
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:16,960
the current price is $329. That's going down by 10 to 319. Not a major

116
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:24,479
difference, but the 3 uh 17 hundred X, which was 399, is going down by 50 bucks

117
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,759
to $3.49. And the eight hundred X has a

118
00:08:24,479 --> 00:08:31,759
little bit of a smaller change. It's going from $499 to $469 with a savings

119
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:33,279
of $30. That that 1700X discount is

120
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:36,080
pretty sick, actually. It's pretty substantial. It's just like booking a

121
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:40,240
hotel at Disney World. The more expensive thing gets the bigger discount when it goes on sale. And that's kind of

122
00:08:38,959 --> 00:08:43,919
what's happening here. Well, not entirely. Not entirely, but the most

123
00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:47,839
expensive You're not going to you're not going to um save as much on the very low

124
00:08:45,839 --> 00:08:52,399
end, though. But that's, you know, I I think, you know, $50, you know, get

125
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:55,839
yourself get yourself a AAA title, get yourself a few 12-packs of Mountain Dew,

126
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:59,519
get yourself whatever else you're into. Yeah. Fill the mini fridge. There you

127
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:03,440
go. There you go. Uh but yeah, I know. I think that's pretty cool. My nightstand

128
00:09:01,839 --> 00:09:06,399
with a mini fridge. I'm thirsty middle of the night. Just reach over. But my

129
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:10,720
fridge is all the way downstairs now. It's like, get some nucaca. Yeah,

130
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:15,680
perfect. Um Yeah. But like I I think that's pretty substantial. 400 to 350.

131
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:19,120
There's that like golden number that's like around. It was 300 for a long time,

132
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:23,200
but then I think there's been some inflation and now it might be like 350,

133
00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:27,440
right? Um, but for a long time, like consoles were right around 300. Like a

134
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:34,399
lot of like nicer things that you could get for like your house, like different tabletop things and whatnot. Tried to

135
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:36,480
aim at like 300 cuz it was a digestible

136
00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:39,519
but relatively expensive item that you could buy. But like a digestible, like

137
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:44,080
you could save up for this over a little bit and get it and it would probably be fine. Yes, that that's the trick in this

138
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:47,360
industry, right? You you want to price things high but not too high. And

139
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:53,519
there's there's always a spot to hit there. So, so I think that might help them actually getting to that 350

140
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:59,680
number. That's pretty cool. And on top of that, AMD Vega release dates. This is

141
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:04,080
cool. The Vega Frontier Edition card will be available on June 27th. Can we

142
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:08,240
bring up a picture of that cuz it looks pretty ball. Hopefully they've got it in

143
00:10:05,839 --> 00:10:12,480
here because it Yeah, that's pretty cool. Mhm. the I like it.

144
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:19,440
You might not be able to tell from the screen cap there, but the that little yellow thing on the upper right is it's

145
00:10:16,079 --> 00:10:21,279
actually a um it's a cube. It lights up.

146
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:25,440
It's illuminated. The R, of course, for radon. So, um and it also comes in a

147
00:10:24,079 --> 00:10:32,079
kind of a reverse color scheme. I think they have a gold one with like a blue cube on it, too. So, stupid clickbait

148
00:10:28,959 --> 00:10:34,000
stuff. Come on, Anantech.

149
00:10:32,079 --> 00:10:37,279
I've always hated like not not to rag on an Nantech while we're here, but I've

150
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:42,160
always hated when there's article clickbait ads on a site that is based

151
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:45,920
around articles cuz like it makes you think that like

152
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:52,160
reverse hair loss with this brilliantly simple home remedy. An Nantech is now

153
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:57,040
talking about like uh this secret that

154
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:59,360
will cure your diabetes and this ear

155
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:05,760
tonitis ending trick thing and like weird other stuff. #fake news. Except it

156
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:07,279
literally is. Yeah. But yeah. Yeah. But

157
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:11,920
yeah, that's a pretty sick looking card. I'm also stoked that it's coming soon

158
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:16,000
because I feel like Vega has been this like cherry that's been dangled in front

159
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:19,440
of everyone for so freaking long. And it's been actually really annoying

160
00:11:17,839 --> 00:11:23,279
because people have been asking me forever on my stream, on this stream, on

161
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:26,880
all the comments, on all the videos, on the forums, everywhere like, "Oh, should

162
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:30,800
I buy this card or should I wait for Vega?" And it's been like, "I have no

163
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:34,160
idea." Yeah, because I don't know when Vega is coming. Information's been a

164
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:39,920
little bit hard to come by. I actually wonder if they're going to have that sick looking shroud for the consumer

165
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:44,000
line because the Frontier edition is is is more of a professionals card, you

166
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:48,880
know, so it's not really for gaming. Yeah. Yeah. Sounds like the Founders

167
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:52,880
Edition there. There's a lot of originality

168
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:56,560
going on over there right now. X399, the Founders Edition. Now they need to

169
00:11:54,240 --> 00:12:00,160
combine the two. The X399 Founders Edition. Oh, good. Or sorry, Frontier.

170
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:04,959
Frontier edition. Frontier Edition. I'll I'll get it right. Sorry about that.

171
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:09,040
Frontier edition. Come on, guys. Anyways, that's actually super cool. I'm

172
00:12:06,639 --> 00:12:12,880
really stoked on that release date. And I'm assuming that mean cuz like as far

173
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:16,079
as I know, we don't have one yet. So, I'm assuming that means that we're

174
00:12:14,079 --> 00:12:22,240
getting one fairly soon and we'll be able to like screw around with it, which

175
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:24,800
will be cool. Um, I look forward to it.

176
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:29,839
Yeah. The the Frontier edition of AMD's is is AMD's first batch of Vega based

177
00:12:26,959 --> 00:12:35,040
cards marketed towards early adopters. Completely unlike the founders edition.

178
00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:41,920
Yeah. Okay. A price has not been announced. Um

179
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:45,279
so that sort of sucks. It's going to I mean if it's a prolevel card, it's going

180
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:48,560
to be it's going to be like quadrole probably. So it's going to be pretty

181
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:54,480
high. It will Yeah, it will be many. Expecting it's not going to be cheap.

182
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:57,040
Um, some Intel news. Finally, Intel

183
00:12:54,480 --> 00:13:03,440
getting on the board. So much AMD news. Intel announces Skylake X bringing 18

184
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:05,360
core HCC silicon to consumers for

185
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:11,440
$2,000. They've also simultaneously announced

186
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:14,959
KBLEX, which is very confusing. Yes. So,

187
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:17,519
so Skylake X is like the super high-end

188
00:13:14,959 --> 00:13:22,560
and then KB Lake X at least for now is going to be I think mainly four core

189
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:28,480
8thread i7s, right? Which going through puberty there

190
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:31,120
apparently. Yeah. But uh that was wild.

191
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:36,240
So, so, so we're not used to seeing four core 8thread SKs being considered an

192
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:39,760
enthusiast product, but apparently now at least some of them are. So, that's

193
00:13:38,079 --> 00:13:45,440
happening as well. Yeah, I it's it's very speaking of

194
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:51,120
confusing naming schemes, but yeah, top end i9 um 18 cores, 36 threads, uh

195
00:13:49,279 --> 00:13:54,800
$2,000. It's cool. But I think this is going to

196
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:59,920
be an interesting fight. And I think at least um as far as our our viewers are

197
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:06,399
concerned, AMD is probably going to win this fight because just the value

198
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:11,600
proposition of those dollar amounts is pretty intense. I feel bad for anyone

199
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:19,199
who bought a 6T950X with it with its puny 10 cores because they're selling a

200
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:22,880
10 they're selling a 10 core i9 as the

201
00:14:19,199 --> 00:14:26,160
lowest end i9. They have score excuse

202
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:28,399
going from 10 to 18 cores. So if you

203
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:35,040
spent that much money on a 6950X, I feel bad for you, son.

204
00:14:30,639 --> 00:14:37,440
I I got 18 problems. I guess I got Yeah,

205
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:41,199
but only having 10 isn't one of them. I failed that pretty hard. Let's revisit

206
00:14:39,199 --> 00:14:44,160
this joke later. I feel like this is one that's worth like processing in the

207
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:47,839
background for a few minutes. Yeah. Okay, cool. Uh, speaking about

208
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:53,120
processing in the background possibly not happening anymore. Elon Musk to

209
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:55,600
Trump, you quit Paris, so I quit you.

210
00:14:53,120 --> 00:15:00,560
Um, this is some political jargon, so we're probably not going to spend too

211
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:02,320
much time on this. Um, but Elon Musk and

212
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:07,120
Disney boss, didn't know about that part, quit Trump's business panel over

213
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,760
the Paris pollute. Basically what happened, uh, there was this thing

214
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:14,160
called the Paris Accord. It was agreed to last year. It was a ton of countries

215
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:18,079
came together saying, "Hey, let's do something about global warming." Then

216
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:21,920
Trump got elected and he said, "No, I I ain't about that." He He's going to try

217
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:27,360
to pull the US out of it and Elon Musk is not very happy about it. So Elon is

218
00:15:24,639 --> 00:15:32,000
no longer sitting on I think President Trump had like some sort of technology

219
00:15:28,959 --> 00:15:33,600
council advisory group thing. Um Elon's

220
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:38,480
not too happy with the Paris decision, so he's pulling out. And that's pretty

221
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:44,240
much that. Yeah. So Elon's tweet said, "Am departing presidential councils.

222
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:48,240
Climate change is real. Leaving Paris is

223
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:51,120
not good for America or the world." And

224
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:55,120
there you go. Although in counter news, because I'm trying to explain the whole

225
00:15:53,279 --> 00:15:59,440
playing field, I believe there was like a surge in the stock market or

226
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:02,320
something. I have no idea. Stock market did well or something. If you're

227
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:07,600
interested in that, go check it out somewhere else. We're not very good at covering political topics. That's not

228
00:16:05,199 --> 00:16:11,839
our mo. Correlation is not causation. Or is it? Decide for yourself. Also, it

229
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:17,279
should be noted, however you feel about this issue, the Paris Accord actually,

230
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:21,839
to my knowledge, it doesn't mandate that the signatorries actually do anything.

231
00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:26,800
So, it's not like, oh, you must reduce carbon emissions by X percentage by year

232
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:31,759
or there will be consequences. It I don't think it does anything like that.

233
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:33,440
Um, but uh there which whichever way you

234
00:16:31,759 --> 00:16:39,040
feel about this, uh there you go. So, this is another like uh kind of

235
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:40,320
political topic kind of deal where we're

236
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:44,959
probably not going to dive into it too far, but you guys might be interested. So, we're at least going to give you

237
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:48,320
like the kernel so that if you are interested in it, you can go try to find

238
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:51,040
the whole popped corn. I don't know where I was going with that, but the

239
00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:54,480
whole piece of popcorn. Yeah, there we go. Well, one is a precursor, the

240
00:16:53,199 --> 00:16:59,360
others. Yeah, I guess I guess that works. Yeah. Okay. I don't know. Um, so

241
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:02,560
this is US approved social media background checks for visa applicants.

242
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:08,559
The so the reason why we thought this might be interesting to you guys is social media I guess tech things social

243
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:13,919
media stuff I don't know if you're this is definitely tech is it I mean like

244
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:17,520
it's social media sure but I mean how like like do you call someone who's on

245
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:23,520
Twitter a lot a techie go on our forums go on ours technica go on any of the

246
00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:28,640
major sites that cover tech news there's always about either privacy or net

247
00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:33,520
neutrality which affects social media and is is discussed as a tech topic So,

248
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:37,840
I think it's completely appropriate. Yeah, I've always just thought it's been

249
00:17:35,039 --> 00:17:40,559
a little weird, but I do agree with saying it at all. There's a

250
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:45,280
questionnaire which we can check out here in a second um because it was

251
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:52,320
linked by the glorious person who made this doc. So, here we go.

252
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:54,240
Here's the Wow. Okay. Um, yeah, we're

253
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:58,320
not going to look that closely at that. Social media identifier, nameandle,

254
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:02,640
social media platforms. So, you can see that right there.

255
00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:07,120
So I guess you'd have to declare I wonder how like what is defined by

256
00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:11,200
social media. Please provide your unique username for any websites or

257
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:16,640
applications you have used to create or share content, photos, videos, status

258
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:21,600
updates, etc. as part of a public profile within the last 5 years. So like

259
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:25,200
what qualifies? If someone is not from the states and they use Linus

260
00:18:23,039 --> 00:18:30,000
techtips.com, I think they would have to declare their

261
00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:31,360
username and the site.

262
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:35,600
Let's just get right down to brass tax. Well, if you have a Pornhub account, you're leaving comments on that. Does

263
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:40,080
that I mean seriously, does that like I think it would if you want to embarrass

264
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:46,080
yourself to that like point like because that is in a for it says status updates

265
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:48,880
which is just text and then etc.

266
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:53,039
There's also the thing where I think I also wonder how they would find out like

267
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:56,160
let's say you just put let's let's say you just put Twitter. All I use is

268
00:18:54,559 --> 00:19:01,760
Twitter. I have a public Twitter handle. You put that down. You you declare it.

269
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:04,720
If you had five other things, would they necessarily know we're finding? Maybe

270
00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:10,559
they're going to like cross search your handle. They could potentially do that.

271
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:12,320
Boy 52 and find you on Pornhub as well.

272
00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:16,880
I don't know if you're maybe if you're a known person of interest to Customs and

273
00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:21,120
Border Protection and you only declare one handle and be like, "Oh yeah, we

274
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:24,720
need to like look at this guy." So there's this huge like veil of secrecy

275
00:19:23,039 --> 00:19:28,720
around it, you know? Um cuz you don't know exactly what that information.

276
00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:35,120
Yeah. And it's really vague to the point where like I feel like if you signed up

277
00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:38,080
for some random site 4.45

278
00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:41,679
years ago and completely forgot about it and tons of people have Yeah. accounts

279
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:46,799
just around the internet they've forgotten about because they don't need, oh, I want to access an article when I

280
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:53,600
have to sign up for a stupid free account. I'm never going to use it again. But, um, it does say though that,

281
00:19:50,559 --> 00:19:54,880
uh, this isn't like an auto request. It

282
00:19:53,600 --> 00:20:00,000
says that additional information would only be requested when the department determines that quote unquote such

283
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:04,080
information is required to confirm identity or conduct more rigorous

284
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:08,080
national security vetting. So, this sounds like they're going to ask you if

285
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:12,160
you're already like flagged, if you're already some kind of person of interest

286
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:15,520
to them. It also says, "If you're unsure of the answer to a question, please

287
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:19,120
provide a response to the best of your knowledge." Mhm. So, I don't feel like

288
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:22,720
you're going to get crushed too long. The vast majority of dealings with the

289
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:26,400
federal government is you're not going to get in ridiculous trouble as long as

290
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,520
you're trying to tell the truth. Like, that's kind of how the IRS operates, you

291
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:33,760
know? They they they don't they don't typically come after people for honest mistakes. They really go at you if

292
00:20:32,559 --> 00:20:39,200
you're if they think you're like intentionally intentionally like lying or defrauding them. So don't forget

293
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:42,559
linesttips.com. If you're trying to get a visa in the

294
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:48,240
US, make sure you list that as a social media platform. I want as many US

295
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:53,600
officials searching my site for people's usernames as possible

296
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:57,760
just cuz it sounds fun. Okay. So if we get guys in like dark

297
00:20:55,679 --> 00:21:04,799
dark suits showing up Yeah. one day at the door and sunglasses. Awesome. Yeah.

298
00:20:59,919 --> 00:21:06,320
Yeah. Super cool. I'm excited.

299
00:21:04,799 --> 00:21:13,039
What What's the chat saying about this? I kind of want to know. I have no idea.

300
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:16,000
Probably nothing good. We'll do. Yes.

301
00:21:13,039 --> 00:21:20,240
Thank you very much, Roy. I appreciate I appreciate your uh your willingness to

302
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:25,440
do so. Yeah, at least I'm a US citizen. Yeah, I feel the same way.

303
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:29,760
I was I was actually crossing the border the other day. I was I was driving down

304
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:33,679
um to Bellingham and I got a pretty gruff gruff border officer. I gave him

305
00:21:31,919 --> 00:21:39,679
my passport. He he saw it was from the US. His whole tone completely changed.

306
00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:43,440
Oh, welcome back. He just he started he was just started becoming super chill

307
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:46,640
with me cuz cuz I have BC license plate. So he must have thought I was Canadian,

308
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:52,240
but he saw that and it just it was so funny. But another person come over the

309
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:54,480
border and pick up a darn package.

310
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:58,880
So many of them. Oh lord. Okay. My favorite question is,

311
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:03,200
"Uh, what are you coming over for? I'm just picking up a package." Uh, sir,

312
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:08,480
it's it's 3:00 a.m. Why are you picking up a package? I don't sleep, man. Well,

313
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:12,640
yeah. You you you know what I would say if I were you, and this would also not

314
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:17,200
be lying. Um, is that the border weights are much less. Yeah, there's a few I've

315
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:20,559
had to get into it a little bit more a couple times, but that's that's a big

316
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:23,919
one. There's I can just roll up and there's usually only nobody or one or

317
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:29,039
two people in front of me, which is Greater Vancouver has two major highway

318
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:33,919
uh border crossings and they're both usually extremely busy so you can wait

319
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:41,120
quite a while. Yeah. Next up is North Korea's iPad. Oh boy. Which is just I

320
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:43,840
Oh, wait. I air quotes iPad. Yeah. Yeah.

321
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:51,440
So, a North Korean company named Wow. Uh Moyang Moyang. Sure. Uh,

322
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:54,559
Mioyong it released a new tablet and

323
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:56,320
they called it the iPad. So that is not

324
00:22:54,559 --> 00:23:00,400
Yeah. Okay, good. It's It says in the corner of this photo, actual iPad

325
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:04,640
designed by Apple in California. I like how designed by Apple in California.

326
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:08,400
Made it all the way to that subtext. Goodness. Okay. I Okay, I think the

327
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:13,440
reason why I made it there was cuz he's trying to be like making a joke like not

328
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:19,120
designed by some random obviously a joke like it's it's not made by Kim Jong-un

329
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:21,360
and Pyongyang. So yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

330
00:23:19,120 --> 00:23:26,720
Apple hasn't commented on this development um its use of its most

331
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:30,480
popular trademarks. And while the company undoubtedly isn't pleased with

332
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:34,880
it, it's unclear what kind of legal action it could take against a company

333
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:39,120
that's controlled by the North Korean government. I guarantee you they don't

334
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:42,159
care. Their lawyers don't care. Um I don't think there's really any

335
00:23:40,559 --> 00:23:45,760
significant market in North Korea for Western consumer goods. At at the same

336
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:49,840
time, you know, I don't think there is a market in North Korea. Yeah. There's not going to be this isn't going to be

337
00:23:48,559 --> 00:23:54,640
shipped out of North Korea. It's probably going to be one of those dealies like with the radios and TVs

338
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:59,200
over there. Oh, it's set to like three channels that only broadcast government

339
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,520
approved like content and propaganda. This is probably going to be the same

340
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:07,760
thing where they have it running through like a firewall just for North Korea.

341
00:24:04,799 --> 00:24:14,159
Yeah. So, Apple's not going to care. It doesn't matter. So, it it can This is

342
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:18,559
fantastic. It has a 1 GHz CPU, 512 megabytes of RAM, 8 gigs of internal

343
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:23,200
storage, 16 gigs of external storage, an 8 in display, and it promises 6 hours of

344
00:24:21,279 --> 00:24:27,760
battery life. Honestly, that is not quite as bad as I expected. The next

345
00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:31,520
part, though, is rather fantastic. It's currently unknown what kind of apps the

346
00:24:29,679 --> 00:24:35,760
device will be able to run in a region like North Korea, which is not

347
00:24:32,799 --> 00:24:40,240
surprising. But it has a total of 28 websites that it can access.

348
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:46,799
That's a pretty good number of websites. It's probably 8 GB is also that's a lot

349
00:24:44,159 --> 00:24:51,840
of compressed JPEG. I think Lionus owns more than 28 domains just cuz he like

350
00:24:49,360 --> 00:24:55,440
likes buying domains. Yeah. So So how many images of the deer leader is that?

351
00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:59,919
8 gigabytes. And how much how much does how much would like you know there has

352
00:24:57,679 --> 00:25:03,919
to be a minimum quota like you you have to have a certain percentage of your

353
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:08,159
storage on your tablet filled with various angles and various images of the

354
00:25:06,159 --> 00:25:12,960
of the leader. Yes. Oh yeah. And like and like the the the the

355
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:17,279
The uh the game is probably something like it's like Space Invaders except it

356
00:25:15,279 --> 00:25:19,919
was like you know Kim Jong-un like a little fighter fighting the capitalist

357
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:26,880
or something like that. It's probably something like that. So shooting American flags in an asteroid simulator.

358
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:31,600
Bastards. Yeah. But so so yeah, that's happening. Uh that's pretty epic. Can

359
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:34,799
Apple even do anything to stop this? I seriously doubt it unless Apple decides

360
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:40,720
to get an army, which at this point they could probably do. They probably could.

361
00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:41,919
But I mean I mean again like if If

362
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:46,080
you're going to say, "Okay, will this violate some sort of like intellectual

363
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:49,679
property statute with North or not statute, but agreement that North Korea

364
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:53,760
is probably not even a signatory to they still have to enforce their laws inside

365
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:59,200
their own borders. It's kind of like, you know, Team America World Police where Hans Blicks comes in. Yeah. Or

366
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:03,520
what? Or we'll write you a letter saying how angry we are with you. So, yeah,

367
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:07,120
probably nothing's going to happen. And some folks in North Korea will be

368
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:12,159
getting their um commie pads. So, yeah, there you have it. After that, we've got

369
00:26:08,799 --> 00:26:14,559
ASUS with an announcement of a 35 in ROG

370
00:26:12,159 --> 00:26:20,720
Swift PG35VQ display with quantum dots and a 200 Hz

371
00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:22,720
refresh rate. My question

372
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:30,400
is, I'm actually getting a little bit disturbed by this. ASUS, where the heck

373
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:32,720
is the 4K um HDR

374
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:38,880
G-Sync beautiful Swift that they announced at CES that I saw in person

375
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:41,279
working, you know? Why can't I buy one?

376
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:46,240
I tweeted them and they just liked it. They didn't say anything. Oh, the long

377
00:26:43,279 --> 00:26:52,000
troll. Okay. Well, you know, you know better than to see a prototype at a

378
00:26:49,279 --> 00:26:55,679
trade show and then be like, "Oh, where can I buy this?

379
00:26:53,679 --> 00:26:58,960
It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Maybe it only worked for

380
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:02,159
the length of the show and it like died 5 seconds after it left. You don't know

381
00:27:00,559 --> 00:27:09,120
that. So, funny funny story about the seeing the prototype thing. U in 2012,

382
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:11,600
just before Christmas in 2012, I decided

383
00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:16,480
uh that I was This was remember 2012. This is early Kickstarter. This is when

384
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:19,919
people still like believe that things might happen. I saw a hammer on there.

385
00:27:18,559 --> 00:27:24,240
It was super cool. It's called the coalar hammer. Let me see if I can find

386
00:27:21,919 --> 00:27:28,400
this. Is this like the two-handed great sword?

387
00:27:26,159 --> 00:27:32,799
The cobbar. Here it is. Cobbar hammer by Lance Brandon. Let's see. Was I right?

388
00:27:31,039 --> 00:27:38,799
Was it 2012? This thing does look pretty cool. Um, yeah, hit updates. So, yeah,

389
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:41,279
expected delivery of June 2013

390
00:27:38,799 --> 00:27:48,000
and my gift to him was the backing of the project. Um,

391
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:50,080
project launched April 25th, 2013. Okay.

392
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:54,640
So, it was a 2013. It's been a long time, but it's been a while. Um, so I I

393
00:27:52,799 --> 00:28:00,480
backed the cobbar hammer. I decided to back this thing from my dad. It's super

394
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:02,240
cool in theory. It usually I'm not into

395
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:06,480
like multi-tool stuff, but this one actually looks pretty sweet. Um, you can

396
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:11,279
see like a lot of people covered it. You can turn it into a crowbar instead of

397
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:15,600
just being a hammer. It's it's a socket wrench. Like it's a whole bunch of

398
00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:19,279
different things. And it's it's their destruction tools. You can take them

399
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:24,399
apart completely. It's that is amazing. Like it's pretty cool, right? It's still

400
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:29,679
not out. But the best part about this, because most Kickstarter projects, if

401
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:32,399
it's been like four years, they would

402
00:28:29,679 --> 00:28:37,120
have just given up, right? Cobbar has not given up at this point. If you go to

403
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:42,799
their updates tab, which I check every once in a blue moon just out of

404
00:28:39,039 --> 00:28:44,880
interest. Fifth month, 10day, 17th year.

405
00:28:42,799 --> 00:28:48,720
They are still giving updates for backers only, so I can't see it cuz I'm

406
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:52,799
not logged in, but dang. It's basically a modular hammer. Why is it taking so

407
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:56,640
long? Like, does it does does it have Bluetooth or something? Like, what what

408
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:59,760
like why is it? And yeah, that's the other part. Okay, so the whole reason

409
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:04,559
why I got to this story is in their demonstration videos, they have one and

410
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:08,399
then like the guy like jams it in a little thing and hangs off of it and

411
00:29:06,559 --> 00:29:12,159
like they they do tons of tests with it. So, I'm like, "Okay, you know what? I'll

412
00:29:09,919 --> 00:29:16,080
back this because they physically have the product and I can clearly see that

413
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:20,480
it is working." Maybe it was a very very very well done hologram.

414
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:25,279
Oh, man. At this point, I have to wonder if it's been 4 years. That thing crushed

415
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:30,559
my soul. That destroyed any possibility of me being into Kickstarter. That like

416
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:34,240
fueled the Kickstarter Kickarted series. Well, it's funny cuz it's a literal

417
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:38,159
hammer. So, it smashed your faith. It smashed my faith. Yes. Kickstarter.

418
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:43,840
There you go. Just buy a hammer and a multi-tool. I know. Well, I was trying

419
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:45,919
to like my dad is totally um of the

420
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:49,520
persuasion and I agree with this to be completely honest of just buy the damn

421
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:53,039
tool, use it till it breaks, and then buy another one. And like toss them

422
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:57,600
around, do whatever. The the job is what's important, but try to not buy one

423
00:29:55,120 --> 00:30:02,159
that's like too crap. But like he's not super into like, oh, this is such a

424
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:05,120
amazing tool. Whoa. He just like wants something that he can do the job with.

425
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:09,120
Yeah. Like so I was going to try to buy him something that was above the tier

426
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:12,320
that he normally shops at so he can have like so he doesn't have to be the one

427
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:18,240
that buys it so he doesn't feel bad about spending too much money on something. Mhm. But it's also not like

428
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:23,919
god tier. Yeah. It's just kind of a cool nifty thing. And then nope. Never got

429
00:30:20,399 --> 00:30:26,559
it. Completely failed. So when chat said

430
00:30:23,919 --> 00:30:31,919
I hate sand. Yeah. It's coarse and it gets everywhere. Just

431
00:30:29,679 --> 00:30:37,440
the story. It's funny every time. It is. It absolutely is. Uh, speaking of funny

432
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:43,360
every time, every single time it's funny. We're going to go to looking at

433
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:45,440
Channel Super Fun on Floatplane. Uh, so

434
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:48,559
here we go. This is a Floatplane club. Where's Channel Super Fun? Meanest

435
00:30:47,039 --> 00:30:51,919
YouTube comments. This was actually genuinely hilarious. I had a great time

436
00:30:50,559 --> 00:30:58,080
with this one. So, everyone that you can see in the thumbnail right now, including the the one and only Nikki V

437
00:30:55,840 --> 00:31:00,399
and John who's sitting right beside me, read through comments. That's what

438
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:07,039
you're doing every day. You're living it. various platforms and discuss how

439
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:12,000
mean they may or may not be. You know, it's a great video, but Colton could

440
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:15,200
have picked far meaner things. There's some pretty intense things. Some of them

441
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:19,120
are brutal. Dennis has some pretty brutal ones. Th this one on screen, how

442
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,919
to be Dennis, be terrible at everything, cheat, and then lie about cheating. That

443
00:31:20,799 --> 00:31:27,520
honestly sounds a little bit more like Lionus with Lionus. Lionus is like the

444
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:31,840
perpetual. If you watch Kenny versus Spenny, Lionus on Channel Super Fun is

445
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:35,520
Kenny. I can't remember a Channel Super Fun where he did not cheat in some way

446
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:41,039
or attempt to cheat. Yeah, I think the last the batting scrapyard wars, am I

447
00:31:37,519 --> 00:31:42,640
right? There you go. Yeah, the batting

448
00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:46,720
cages wasn't a competition cuz we were just literally hitting balls, but other

449
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:51,200
than that, yeah, every time. So, you can see it scrubs pretty quick, which is

450
00:31:49,039 --> 00:31:54,640
cool. You can watch this video now if you're interested, which is cool. And

451
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:59,440
you can even download to watch it later. You can, which is awesomely fantastic.

452
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:03,440
Scrapyard Wars. If you guys have been enjoying that, the last episode of

453
00:32:01,679 --> 00:32:08,240
Scrapyard Wars will be on Floatplane this weekend. They've been on Flowplane

454
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:13,120
every Saturday so far, but the main editor for them, Edel, got pretty

455
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:16,960
freaking sick, actually. Um, so the next one is going to be slightly delayed. It

456
00:32:14,799 --> 00:32:20,880
will be coming out on Sunday instead of on Saturday, but it is still coming on

457
00:32:18,559 --> 00:32:25,519
Floatplane first. So, you can see the actually insane, probably the most

458
00:32:23,679 --> 00:32:30,559
insane conclusion of any Scraphead Wars we've had. The last season of Scrappy

459
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:33,200
War season 4 was my favorite one. But in

460
00:32:30,559 --> 00:32:38,480
terms of conclusions, this last conclusion is insane and by

461
00:32:36,399 --> 00:32:42,640
far the most nutty freaking balls conclusion we've ever had. Like no

462
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,919
question about it at all. You don't know, do you? I've only watched through

463
00:32:44,559 --> 00:32:49,200
the first episode. I have not had time to watch. I I fully intend to watch the

464
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:53,679
rest of them. I'm not just saying that. But, uh, everyone that was a part of it

465
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:56,399
has been trying to stay rather closed about it around the office cuz a lot of

466
00:32:55,279 --> 00:33:02,559
people around the office if I don't have any much going on this weekend, I might just sit down and like binge like the

467
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:04,799
last couple of them. Yeah. So, yeah, I

468
00:33:02,559 --> 00:33:07,760
think this week, not not to uh bash on my own platform, but I think this week a

469
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:13,840
fair amount of the things that were released were from Computex, so they're on both platforms. Um, but we do have a

470
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:17,760
few different things that that meish YouTube comments on Channel Super Fun is

471
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:21,200
genuinely hilarious. Would highly recommend that. Uh there's some tech

472
00:33:19,519 --> 00:33:27,200
wiki stuff on here. Why do people still use fax machines? If you guys like the

473
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:29,360
sketch that we did um for our scanners

474
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:34,399
um fast as possible. Uh you're going to love this one. Um so yes, why do people

475
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:39,200
still use fax machines? Uh featuring the one, the only Dennis Leowl. Um currently

476
00:33:36,799 --> 00:33:43,679
on Floatplane Club just went up today. And yeah. Hey, it's you. Hey, there he

477
00:33:41,279 --> 00:33:46,480
is. It's coming out of a phone. I love it.

478
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:50,399
I'm going to show you guys just the first little bit of this. sitting there

479
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:55,039
minding your own business and you go, "What's that strange ticking noise? Oh

480
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:58,799
my goodness, it's my god, it's a bomb." So, you call your friend. Anyways,

481
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:05,679
that's your teaser. And there there's there's there's another episode um about

482
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:07,360
um about SEO, I believe, which

483
00:34:05,679 --> 00:34:12,079
isn't as exciting, but it's still very interesting. A cool a cool topic. The

484
00:34:09,919 --> 00:34:16,399
TechWiki is interesting because it doesn't have like the like sex appeal of

485
00:34:14,720 --> 00:34:19,919
certain channels, but it's more interesting than a lot of other things.

486
00:34:18,079 --> 00:34:23,760
Luke has basically summed up my entire life.

487
00:34:21,599 --> 00:34:28,000
It's not what I was trying to say. Well, you said.

488
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:32,000
Anyways, if you need a website for whatever reason, you can go to

489
00:34:29,919 --> 00:34:36,240
Squarespace and get your website on Squarespace. You can save 10% by using

490
00:34:33,839 --> 00:34:40,320
offer code WAN. They have 24/7 live chat and email support. It is 12 bucks a

491
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:43,440
month. And if you subscribe for a year, you get a domain rolled in with that.

492
00:34:42,079 --> 00:34:49,040
They have a commerce module, so you can sell your stuff online. They have a cover page feature, so you can have one

493
00:34:46,639 --> 00:34:53,119
nice, beautiful, scrollable page. Um, and everyone can now publish content in

494
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:58,160
the Apple News format directly from their Squarespace blog module, which is

495
00:34:55,280 --> 00:35:03,200
pretty cool. Um, it's it's automatically available to millions of potential

496
00:34:59,599 --> 00:35:05,920
viewers. This thing dynamically changes

497
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:10,000
in a responsive way to basically whatever screen size and whatever format

498
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:12,640
you need. It's all done for you. It's fantastic. Did you talk about commerce

499
00:35:11,119 --> 00:35:16,560
already? Yes, I do. If you're using Squarespace and you want to host an

500
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:21,599
online store, this is new. This is a pretty recent update uh to the platform.

501
00:35:18,720 --> 00:35:25,040
They they they now support lots of different new currencies. So if you want

502
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:28,160
to take Israeli shekels, if you want to take pesos from Mexico, if you want to

503
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:32,160
take New Zealand dollars, Singapore dollars, even uh rubles from our good

504
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:36,560
friends over in Russia, you can do that now. That's really cool, actually. Um so

505
00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:41,280
it's squarespace.com/wan, offer code WAN, 10% off. Moving on, if you need to

506
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:45,920
fix some stuff, I actually use this thing very often at home now that I have

507
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:49,920
one at home, but iFix's ProTek toolkit. You've probably seen them in a lot of

508
00:35:47,359 --> 00:35:55,599
our content. Uh we use them in Scrapyard Wars. Uh, yeah, it's a 64-bit driver

509
00:35:53,520 --> 00:36:00,160
kit. Magnets, which is actually really nice. The the lid for the driver kit

510
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:03,680
magnetically goes on and when you take it off, you can use it as a parts tray,

511
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:09,280
which is pretty sick. Um, it has precision ESD safe tweezers, including a

512
00:36:06,079 --> 00:36:11,680
pair of reverse tweezers. Um, it has a

513
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:17,680
rather wide variety of plastic opening tools that are better quality. Let me

514
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:21,839
see if I actually have one here.

515
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:23,599
Yes, these things are beautiful. Some of

516
00:36:21,839 --> 00:36:28,320
the the older ones that they had were still really cool and I liked them a

517
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:32,079
lot, but they weren't as durable as these ones are. So, after you use them a

518
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:35,680
few times, the edge would get a little chewed up and then you might have some

519
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:40,560
issues getting through some thinner electronics. But these new ones have

520
00:36:38,079 --> 00:36:44,480
been able to withstand like everything we've thrown at them. Uh, which has

521
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:48,160
actually been really cool. They give you three, which is pretty awesome. So even

522
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:53,040
if you do manage to wear through a few of them, they've really been a lifesaver

523
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:57,200
because the current trend in electronics desk oh not desktops but um laptops,

524
00:36:54,880 --> 00:37:01,599
tablets, mobile phones has been let's make this thing as difficult to use user

525
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:05,599
service as possible. So the opening tools really help. So those are like

526
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:11,359
manual intervention openers basically. Um it's backed by iFix its lifetime

527
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:13,440
warranty which is awesome. um buy it

528
00:37:11,359 --> 00:37:16,560
because it's awesome or don't and you still get access to all of their free

529
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:20,560
repair resources, which is awesome. So, even if you have your own driver kit and

530
00:37:18,720 --> 00:37:23,599
your own tools, if you want to get into repairing stuff and you don't want to

531
00:37:21,839 --> 00:37:26,880
buy this, you can still go to iFixit's website and learn how to take things

532
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:31,839
apart, which is awesome. They use their own tool kits on there, so it's easier

533
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:36,000
if you have their toolkit. But yeah, head over to L uh sorry, head over to

534
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:41,599
ifixit.com/Linus and use offer code Linus at the checkout to save five bucks

535
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:43,440
on a purchase of 10 bucks or more.

536
00:37:41,599 --> 00:37:48,079
There you go. And if you're in Canada, this is actually a pretty cool note. If

537
00:37:45,119 --> 00:37:52,400
you're in Canada, check out amazon.ca for cheaper shipping options because

538
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:55,680
sometimes we have sponsors and we talk about buying it or whatever and people

539
00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:00,160
in Canada where we're from are like, "Guys, you're from our own region and

540
00:37:58,079 --> 00:38:03,920
shipping sucks for this." So, they're offering another option, which is pretty

541
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:10,240
cool. Also, LTX, if you want to show up to a

542
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:14,320
weird place and meet us weird people and do weird things, uh, you can go you can

543
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:19,359
buy tickets for LTX. I'm going to move to that thing. There we go. So, you can

544
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:20,240
go to the the worst URL to say out loud

545
00:38:19,359 --> 00:38:23,240
ever, which is ticketrocket.co/eventdetails246LTX-20

546
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:33,119
2017. Come meet me. We can talk about burger

547
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:36,800
trivia. Oh my god. You should have a trivia booth. We'll figure something

548
00:38:35,119 --> 00:38:41,599
out. That would actually be awesome. I'm doing VR stuff. Taran's editing a video.

549
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:45,760
You can do the like What is that? Geogesser. Yeah. No promises, but it's a

550
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:53,839
fantastic idea. I'm going to look into it. I actually like that a lot. That would be freaking great.

551
00:38:49,359 --> 00:38:55,680
And back to the real show. Okay. What is

552
00:38:53,839 --> 00:38:59,359
there even to talk about still? This week was weird. Most of the like

553
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:04,800
interesting news from this week is in literal videos that Lionus hosted from

554
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:10,320
Computex, but um Microsoft has rolled out not one but

555
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:15,200
two bad builds on the Windows Insider program.

556
00:39:12,240 --> 00:39:18,880
Thanks guys. It's like every so often they're like they remember, oh, we're

557
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:23,359
that company that made Windows MI. We should remind people that from time to

558
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:26,960
time when they do things like this Windows MI Millennium Edition. No, I

559
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:31,280
know. I just don't hear it called that very often. But yeah, I that's kind of

560
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:35,520
how they marketed it. Like me, oh, it's my version of Windows is for regular

561
00:39:33,839 --> 00:39:39,599
people in the year 2000. Except it wasn't. It just made everyone very very

562
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:44,240
mad because it didn't work. Yeah, the marketing was terrible. But Windows 7

563
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:48,480
professional update. So yeah. Uh I like I don't know.

564
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:54,560
Okay. And now people in the chat are saying or appear to think that I said

565
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:56,880
Windows meme emme. Oh my god. which it

566
00:39:54,560 --> 00:40:03,119
kind of was. Someone needs to make a custom Microsoft OS that is skinned all

567
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:06,320
with memes. It's like every day when you log on there's like a different courage

568
00:40:04,720 --> 00:40:11,520
wolf as your background. He's saying different things. Cartana is advice dog.

569
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:16,240
Is it just advice dog? Yeah. Yeah. It should just be It's been a while since that meme was popular, but like Yeah,

570
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:19,119
you you could even do like a twoin one with that. You could have it be advice

571
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:24,640
dog, but it could start every sentence to you with yo dog, like the exhibit meme. There you go. Nice. When whenever

572
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:29,440
your system has like a pretty heavy slowdown and then comes up with like an

573
00:40:26,720 --> 00:40:34,000
error, it can be slowpoke. That'd be good. Please, someone do this.

574
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:37,760
That would be fantastic. You're You know what? You're like, you're you're you're

575
00:40:36,079 --> 00:40:45,119
developing an idea for another line of tech this video as we speak. The custom

576
00:40:40,079 --> 00:40:48,640
meme. Windows meme. Yeah, there you go.

577
00:40:45,119 --> 00:40:51,440
Oh jeez. John's pics. What is this? This

578
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:57,520
is just crap I sent to James. Okay. What is this? Tell the people. Tell the

579
00:40:54,079 --> 00:40:59,520
people. Okay. Um, well, first thing I

580
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:03,200
will do is I did find this earlier and I did read it, but I've been busy since

581
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:08,560
then. So, let me click on the article first. And right to speak freely about

582
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:13,440
engineering is subject of First Amendment lawsuit. An engineer was fined

583
00:41:11,119 --> 00:41:17,599
$500 for discussing traffic light engineering without a license. So, this

584
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:22,480
happened down in Oregon, which is not too far from here. Uh, so Oh, I heard

585
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:27,839
about this. Apparently, this guy sent the state some advice about um traffic

586
00:41:25,839 --> 00:41:33,359
light timings. Um specifically, he wanted to make yellows longer. Um which

587
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:36,960
is which obviously can be very important for traffic flow reasons and also not to

588
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:42,800
surprise people when they think they have enough time to drive through an intersection, but they actually don't.

589
00:41:39,839 --> 00:41:46,079
Anyway, so um but instead of the state saying, "Hey, thank you for speaking

590
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:50,720
out, concerned citizen. Let's have a look at this." they instead slap him

591
00:41:47,839 --> 00:41:54,160
with a $500 fine for doing something along the lines of practicing

592
00:41:52,079 --> 00:41:57,599
engineering without a license. Now, as some of you know, um I went to law

593
00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:00,720
school. I have a law license, which is currently inactive because why do I need

594
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:05,920
it right now? But I do have one from North Carolina and it there and in every

595
00:42:03,839 --> 00:42:09,760
other state and also up here in Canada, you can't do a thing called unauthorized

596
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:14,880
practice of law. You can't practice law or give legal advice without a license.

597
00:42:12,240 --> 00:42:18,480
It's against the law. So for engineering um I also believe every state has like a

598
00:42:16,720 --> 00:42:22,319
professional license by for engineers licensing body for engineers where

599
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:27,440
they're doing the same thing but just like I can sit here on the WAN Show and

600
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:32,160
generally discuss legal topics like I am doing right now actually without giving

601
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:36,880
anyone specific advice. You would think an engineer could do the same thing but

602
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:40,400
the state of Oregon is saying to him no you can't even talk about it without a

603
00:42:39,119 --> 00:42:45,119
license because I think this guy doesn't have his license yet. So, this is a huge

604
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:49,280
problem. Um, ended up going to court. Uh, he ended up suing uh the state of

605
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:52,960
Oregon uh for breach of his first amendment rights, which is free speech.

606
00:42:51,359 --> 00:42:59,359
You can you can say what you want to. Um, and I think this is still going on,

607
00:42:55,839 --> 00:43:01,040
but they basically said that he can talk

608
00:42:59,359 --> 00:43:05,760
about this as long as the lawsuit is pending. So, that is where where we are

609
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:08,960
with this. Okay. Yeah. Interesting. I don't understand legal stuff, so I have

610
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:16,000
concerns and questions, but I'm just going to move on because they're probably juvenile. Uh, big leagues,

611
00:43:13,359 --> 00:43:22,240
$10 million League of Legends tournament. Holy butt chunks. Team

612
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:30,079
applications for the new LCS open today. The buyin price is $10 million.

613
00:43:27,599 --> 00:43:35,599
Players on the 10 selected teams get a guaranteed salary of at least $75,000.

614
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:39,760
Wait, the buyin is 10 million? Yeah, that the buyin for the World Series of

615
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:44,800
Poker isn't even $10 million. How how how does that

616
00:43:41,599 --> 00:43:47,599
Jeez, pretty nuts. Yeah. Yeah. Um Riot

617
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:52,240
Game said it end goal is to create a strong and stable system that's

618
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:57,040
profitable for pro players and provides entertainment for fans in the long term.

619
00:43:54,960 --> 00:44:02,400
And I guess they plan to do that by charging $10 million for 10 teams, which

620
00:44:00,319 --> 00:44:06,640
is $100 million. How many people on the team?

621
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:12,319
you know, like there there would be five active players, but you have like a

622
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:13,839
roster where you have coach and benches.

623
00:44:12,319 --> 00:44:18,480
Like there's there's other stuff going on.

624
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:24,000
Once the 10 teams are determined, they are in the league for good. Ry says it

625
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:28,000
will offer incentives to teams that play well and penalize the squads that

626
00:44:26,319 --> 00:44:32,400
purposefully that purposefully stay at the bottom of

627
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:37,119
the ladder. What?

628
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:42,960
Um, teams that tank for for on purpose for some reason. Why? Okay, so

629
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:47,680
admittedly I don't really watch esports. It's been a very long time since I've

630
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:51,119
played LOL, but uh what I can say in um

631
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:54,160
in more traditional sports um what

632
00:44:51,119 --> 00:44:55,599
certain teams at times are um especially

633
00:44:54,160 --> 00:45:00,640
in the US and Canada, it doesn't really work this way in Europe, but in the US and Canada, um teams will be accused of

634
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:05,599
tanking if they have no no hope of making the playoffs. So, they end up

635
00:45:02,240 --> 00:45:07,440
tanking for a better draft pick. So, so

636
00:45:05,599 --> 00:45:11,359
whether this has ever actually happened is a matter of debate, but like there's

637
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:14,240
accusations of it happening that pop up every now and then. Maybe it's something

638
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:18,560
like that you get some kind of extra benefit. Are you draft picking in League

639
00:45:16,319 --> 00:45:21,200
of Legends though? I don't think so. I don't think that's how it works. To be

640
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:26,960
clear, we're not talking about draft picks in terms of like when you're

641
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:28,079
drafting heroes for that game. Um No, we

642
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:33,920
probably have a lot of people that don't watch sports at all. Yeah, it's we're talking about like like the NFL's

643
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:38,640
college player draft where the worst the worst teams can pick earlier to help

644
00:45:36,079 --> 00:45:44,640
make them better. So, yeah. pick a player like a person, a human being. Not

645
00:45:42,319 --> 00:45:47,680
not draft picking like, oh, let's let's ban Ezreal or something. I don't know

646
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:53,040
why you'd do that. I don't think he's very strong right now. Someone says they say not to get relegated, which may be

647
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:57,119
true. So, that would be more like a not to get relegated. More like soccer, you

648
00:45:55,599 --> 00:46:03,040
know, about promotion, relegation, soccer. Okay. Interesting. Okay. Uh,

649
00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:08,640
that's pretty nuts. That's That is That is so much a $10 million buy in. I

650
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:12,000
wonder how well they're going to do. I don't know. I almost wonder if if they

651
00:46:10,240 --> 00:46:17,040
would if if it would help them to have like teens represent specific areas like

652
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:21,119
real sports or traditional sports. I won't insult anybody, but I don't see.

653
00:46:19,119 --> 00:46:26,000
Okay. I have no idea. It's so new. That's like a deeper topic, but I don't

654
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:32,400
think so because I think with esports it's more of a global thing and because

655
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:39,520
everyone basically everyone is watching online and they online. Yeah. Like there

656
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:42,400
I don't think there's a lot of

657
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:46,480
team like personalities you like or like I I

658
00:46:45,119 --> 00:46:51,280
could see a little bit more like national spirit like if there was like

659
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:55,599
the American team that happens a lot in like individual sports a a little bit

660
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:59,599
more like traditional individual sports. You know we did have um a heroes of the

661
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:02,160
dorm in the US where uh the larger colleges all enter college teams into

662
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:07,440
this. So there was like a little bit of that but yeah so yeah interesting. Next

663
00:47:05,359 --> 00:47:13,119
up, we have the first Ryzenbased all-in-one, which is actually pretty

664
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:18,319
crazy. It's It's a Dell all-in-one. Let's have a look at her. It looks

665
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:21,319
pretty nice, actually. Uh Dell Inspiron

666
00:47:18,319 --> 00:47:21,319
27775

667
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:26,480
AIO. It's an 8 core AMD Ryzen 7. Hey,

668
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:30,880
six numbers in a row. All right. Great name. Pretty freaking nuts. Well, I get

669
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:36,880
the 27's got to be 27. Well, yes, but but even so, like even so. So, it's the

670
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:40,480
7775 AO or 7775, whatever you want to

671
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:43,520
call it. Uh AMD Ryzen 7 chip, Radeon RX

672
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:45,280
580, and a 4K LCD screen. And it looks

673
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:50,960
pretty sharp. You could actually do some like pretty serious gaming on it with an

674
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:52,720
RX 580. Yeah. Yeah. Um the the chassis

675
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:56,880
very vaguely reminds me of the the Surface Studio from Microsoft, like a

676
00:47:55,040 --> 00:48:02,319
little bit, you know, like the way the mouse is, like the way the chassis is.

677
00:47:59,920 --> 00:48:09,040
Yeah. Yeah. some of the 7775.

678
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:11,280
Uh, this is worded a little bit weirdly,

679
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:15,839
but I can get I'm going to I'm going to jump away from that actually. Come on

680
00:48:13,599 --> 00:48:19,040
in. Well, I couldn't tell if they were talking. Whoa, I just screwed

681
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:25,359
everything. At first, the diabetes cure, now this. Okay, so despite being Yes.

682
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:29,680
So, it's actually the Inspiron 277000

683
00:48:25,359 --> 00:48:32,480
series. The 7775 is a specific version.

684
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:37,520
There's multiple versions of it. Um, the low-end version is a quad core AMD Ryzen

685
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:45,200
51400 with an RX 560 with 4 gigs of GDDDR5

686
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:47,200
memory and then 180 W PSU. But if you

687
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:52,800
jump up to the high-end, I believe that one that I just noted is about $1,000.

688
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:59,200
Um, and if you jump to the high-end, you get an 8core AMD Ryzen 7700, which I had

689
00:48:55,920 --> 00:49:01,680
just mentioned, and then a Radeon RX 580

690
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:07,440
with 8 gigs of GDDR5 and a 330 W power supply. And I believe

691
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:11,119
you can get up to 32 gigs of RAM with one of these. I do hope the lower-end

692
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:14,559
one didn't go for like the full like ball in 4K display because there's no

693
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:20,240
way you're going to get 4K consistently with say some low have the 4K. So, I

694
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:25,680
seriously doubt that the low-end one is so the bare bones one is a grand. So,

695
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:29,920
there we go. Here we go. If we scroll down a little bit, they do a they do a

696
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:34,720
better job with it. So, we're uh display or screen display. There we go. Um yeah,

697
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:37,520
so the cheaper one is 1080p. It's still IPS, so it's still going to be a pretty

698
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:45,760
good looking display, but it's going to be 1080p. Yeah. 1980 by That's got to be

699
00:49:40,720 --> 00:49:47,760
a typo. Should be 1920 x 1080.

700
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:52,079
Yeah. That's pretty interesting, isn't it? I think that is a typo. In terms of

701
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:56,720
USB connections, which is like a topic of much debate these days, I do see

702
00:49:54,720 --> 00:50:02,960
type-C, which is good. So, they have two USB 2.0, which is fine. They have three

703
00:49:59,119 --> 00:50:05,920
USB typeA, or sorry, they have three two

704
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:12,880
USB 2.0 type A, which is fine. Three USB 3.0 type A, which is good. One USB 3.1

705
00:50:09,599 --> 00:50:15,599
type C, which is solid. Um, and then one

706
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:23,040
USB 3.1 type A, which is also pretty good. The webcam is 720p, which is like

707
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:24,720
actually a little disappointing. Um,

708
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:31,440
like still seeing stuff showing up in 720p is H. Um, it's running Windows 10

709
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:34,480
Home 64bit, which is about what you'd probably expect.

710
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:39,760
It's kind of cool, though. It looks sharp. Um, I'm happy to see

711
00:50:38,240 --> 00:50:42,640
AMD getting their products and stuff like this. So, that's cool. Yeah, it

712
00:50:41,599 --> 00:50:47,040
also looks a little bit more elegant than some past gaming AIOs we've seen. I

713
00:50:44,720 --> 00:50:51,760
mean, granted, a lot of that is most is more the GPU manufacturers, but even so,

714
00:50:49,359 --> 00:50:56,800
and I think part of this is that it I don't think it's heavily aimed at

715
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:58,240
gaming. It's not it's game on if you

716
00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:03,200
want. It's powerful enough. The the higherend one is definitely powerful enough that you could, but it looks more

717
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:08,800
like it's designed for like, oh, if you wanted to edit some video or photos and

718
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:11,280
stuff like the uh com the Twitch chat

719
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:18,880
says 580 for 4K casual use is great. And I would agree with that. So, yeah. Yeah.

720
00:51:14,079 --> 00:51:20,319
There we go. Okay, moving on. We're a

721
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:24,960
little thin on topics. Are we talking about um

722
00:51:22,720 --> 00:51:27,760
uh the the facial recognition thing with the monkeys? So, we want to talk about

723
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:30,160
that. Where's that? It's down here, right? It's under John's pics. This is

724
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:36,000
which is why I mentioned I didn't know what the heck was going on. # shameless. You want to start talking about it? I'll

725
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:40,400
get it on screen. So, uh, there's an article in the Guardian here about, uh,

726
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:44,720
scientists discovering how the brain recogniz recognizes faces by reading the

727
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:47,760
minds of monkeys. More specifically, analyzing their brain wave patterns.

728
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:51,680
Yeah, it's a little different, but you know, and what they what they did was

729
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:56,480
they they looked at their brain waves and decoded faces that the monkey like

730
00:51:54,559 --> 00:51:59,920
human faces that the monkeys remembered. And you might be able to see it on the

731
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:05,040
screen capture here, but they were almost exactly the same as the subjects

732
00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:10,720
appeared in real life, which is both cool and a little bit unnerving. So, you

733
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:16,160
know, you start wondering about, oh, well, things like, you know, reading

734
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:17,599
minds and that and reading thoughts were

735
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:21,359
once purely the realm of science fiction, but now you're starting to

736
00:52:20,079 --> 00:52:25,680
wonder, okay, you know, is this something that, you know, actually has

737
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:29,599
has some some water to it? You know, some of them look like video game

738
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:33,359
versions of the real people a little bit. Yeah. So, so the so the predicted

739
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:37,200
faces are on the right and the actuals on on the left. Yeah, they're pretty

740
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:40,079
close though. Actually, for this one, I thought the predicted face was the

741
00:52:38,559 --> 00:52:43,280
accurate one and the actual face was not. Isn't that weird? Cuz the actual

742
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:46,880
face on this one actually looks lower resolution

743
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:51,760
than the predicted face, which is kind of interesting.

744
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:57,440
Yeah. So, you know, you have to wonder about, you know, is this does this mean

745
00:52:54,079 --> 00:52:59,040
that a person could end up one day with

746
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:02,880
the correct equipment seeing, oh, what is a person thinking, but or who they're

747
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:09,280
thinking about and what they're thinking about there. I think that they were also

748
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:12,880
talking about um your brain encodes like

749
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:14,640
faces a certain way and it does much

750
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:18,480
kind of like a GPU would do like mathematical transformations to like if

751
00:53:17,119 --> 00:53:21,680
you're if there's a shape on your computer screen and it's like rotating

752
00:53:20,240 --> 00:53:25,680
you can see it's like a cube or it's a circle or it's a sphere like whatever

753
00:53:23,359 --> 00:53:29,920
else your GPU is doing mathematical transformations to it to figure out what

754
00:53:28,079 --> 00:53:34,880
it looks like. So it's the article was saying the brain works similarly where

755
00:53:32,319 --> 00:53:38,800
if you have met a person a couple times even if you haven't seen their face from

756
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:42,640
every possible angle your your brain can do these mathematical transformations.

757
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:45,599
So when you see the person again maybe just see them like from the side or like

758
00:53:44,240 --> 00:53:50,720
from an angle when they're walking away from you but you can still figure out

759
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:52,160
who it is. So it's it seems like it's

760
00:53:50,720 --> 00:53:56,720
tapping more into that part of the brain. As far as reading like emotional

761
00:53:55,359 --> 00:54:03,359
thoughts that might be a little bit different. I don't know. But someone in the chat said how to hide your porn.

762
00:54:01,599 --> 00:54:08,000
So like we'd we'd have to make like a version two of that video. Yeah. It's

763
00:54:06,240 --> 00:54:12,480
like think of your grandma. Here's how not to think about what you've been

764
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:15,440
looking at. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like Well, it's like as soon as you say don't

765
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:20,559
think of a pink elephant, you think of pink. So Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How to hide

766
00:54:18,720 --> 00:54:25,040
your porn version two mind readading edition.

767
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:27,760
That'd be freaking awesome. I should make that video at some point in a

768
00:54:26,559 --> 00:54:31,599
thousand years. This might get litigated. Does this cover the right to

769
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:36,880
p the right to privacy cover your own thoughts? You know, I would certainly think it does, but who I mean, who

770
00:54:35,119 --> 00:54:39,920
knows? Who knows at this point? Who knows? They're allowed to record it.

771
00:54:38,720 --> 00:54:45,440
Well, you know, when you think in public, you implicitly give up your right to privacy. Of course, I can see

772
00:54:43,599 --> 00:54:49,839
some lawyer making that argument like hundreds of years from now. So, yeah.

773
00:54:47,119 --> 00:54:55,440
Yeah, I don't know. But NVIDIA announces GPUs for thinner gaming laptops. So,

774
00:54:53,839 --> 00:55:00,240
they've got a few different things going on. Uh, now NVIDIA is looking to find

775
00:54:58,319 --> 00:55:05,920
the fastest and most power optimized performance level to allow laptops under

776
00:55:02,240 --> 00:55:07,280
20 millimeters thick and sport a GTX

777
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:11,280
1080. Well, we're already getting pretty close, aren't we? Like with with the new

778
00:55:09,359 --> 00:55:15,520
like the new Razer blades, you know, you can get a 1080 in those. And how thick

779
00:55:13,359 --> 00:55:19,280
are those? You know, I'm not sure on exact thickness for those, but he's

780
00:55:17,359 --> 00:55:23,440
showing pretty thin freaking laptops right here with his trademark leather

781
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:26,760
jacket. Very good. With his freaking leather jacket.

782
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:31,160
Max Q.

783
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:39,440
It's cool. Thinner laptops is good. Whisper mode, blah blah blah blah blah.

784
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:43,200
We're constantly getting ah see Forbes even.

785
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:49,359
At least they say from the web, but like still, come on, guys.

786
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:51,839
News websites that advertise articles

787
00:55:49,359 --> 00:55:56,079
for clickbait news is such a weird situation. It really, really is. cuz

788
00:55:54,400 --> 00:56:00,240
there's tons of people that really can't tell the difference.

789
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:05,040
Super lame. Anyways, that's that's just a cool thing. NVIDIA's trying to do

790
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:08,640
that. That's cool. Mhm. They'll they will, I'm sure, succeed if they're going

791
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:12,400
to be this open about the fact that the hey, we're going to do this. Yeah,

792
00:56:10,559 --> 00:56:19,839
they've probably already done it. Mhm. Um ASRock announces ITX boards for AMD

793
00:56:16,799 --> 00:56:22,799
Ryzen. That's super cool. Um, I've been

794
00:56:19,839 --> 00:56:29,920
kind of waiting for I expected it was going to happen faster than it has been,

795
00:56:24,240 --> 00:56:34,880
but I wanted MATX to get really popular.

796
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:37,839
There is a serious serious lack of um

797
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:41,680
really good looking microATX boards out there. And that's part of the problem.

798
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:46,480
Yeah. But ITX boards too, like I I expected to see more of this stuff going

799
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:48,079
on. I think with Fantex's new case, I

800
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:52,319
can't remember the new name for it. The old name for it was project 217, but as

801
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:55,520
of this competex, they have a new name for it. I think that might even help

802
00:56:53,839 --> 00:56:59,119
because Fentex cases are super popular and this thing's freaking beautiful.

803
00:56:57,359 --> 00:57:02,880
Yeah. I just want to talk about micro ATX for a second because because when

804
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:07,599
you think about it, if you're an enthusiast, it has to be the most

805
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:11,520
sensible form factor, you know, because because no one uses four-way SLI

806
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:15,119
Crossfire anymore, but you get two slots usually micro ATX. So, if you want to

807
00:57:13,119 --> 00:57:18,559
expand, you can. You should get like a little bit more IO like but but most

808
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:22,720
people are doing external DAXs, not internal sound cards anymore. Exactly.

809
00:57:20,319 --> 00:57:27,359
So you don't really need like but and even if you want like PCI Expressbased

810
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:30,960
storage, most people are using M.2 Optains coming up so that you don't have

811
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:35,599
to slot it into a traditional slot. So it's just like why don't you see more of

812
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:38,799
this? Because ATX is overkill for most people with the amount of expandability

813
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:42,960
that you're just never going to use. So yeah, and you can get some really nifty

814
00:57:41,359 --> 00:57:46,240
kind of small cases, but that's part of the problem too. There isn't a huge

815
00:57:44,559 --> 00:57:51,200
amount of demand on the motherboard side. So, the cases aren't there yet

816
00:57:49,599 --> 00:57:54,559
really. There isn't a ton of cases for it because of that. And then there isn't

817
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:59,599
a ton of cases for it because of that. So, people don't want to build that form factor.

818
00:57:57,599 --> 00:58:04,319
So, there isn't a ton of demand for the motherboards. We're in like kind of a

819
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:08,400
stuck situation, but I wish they'd get a little bit more popular. I hate stuck

820
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:11,119
situations. Ducklet Schwag says, "I didn't realize John knew this much

821
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:16,599
stuff." Yeah, I've had a nickel for every time I've heard that. Have you

822
00:58:13,359 --> 00:58:16,599
ever watched Techquiki?

823
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:25,200
Techquikookie is is more or less unanimously written by John. It's it's

824
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:29,280
essentially like it's my channel and it's not. I'm basically creative

825
00:58:27,119 --> 00:58:34,640
director for whatever it's worth, but tons of other people contribute to it,

826
00:58:30,559 --> 00:58:37,440
too. But yes, so but like especially on

827
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:40,240
the writing side, like entirely, but especially on the writing side. I'm

828
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:44,000
trying not to sound like a jerk hogging all the credit. So, but yeah. I know on

829
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:50,000
the writing side is basically the John show right now. So yeah, I think that's

830
00:58:47,359 --> 00:58:54,880
probably about it for the show today. Yeah. Do we

831
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:59,359
do we need to make Taffy stretch or are we stretch like stretch like Well, you

832
00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:02,799
know when you come to the end of a program but it's not the end. You have

833
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:07,119
like blank space. Do we need to like Oh no. No. We just need to roll the intro.

834
00:59:05,599 --> 00:59:13,040
Outro. I mean intro outro. It's the same thing.

835
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:16,720
I can try to do it with Nope. The stream deck's still not

836
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:19,920
working. Such a sh It looks so And look at this. When I press the button, you

837
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:24,119
can see you can tell it's just one screen cuz I'm like damaging it.

838
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:32,240
Hey, Taran, come look at this. That's so sad. Are you still alive? Thank you

839
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:36,079
Squarespace. Is it working or not? No,

840
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:40,400
it's not. LTX 2017. Thank you us, I

841
00:59:36,079 --> 00:59:43,520
guess. And thank you iFix It. Bye guys.

842
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:46,799
Got to reset this. Bye. It'll work as

843
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:46,799
soon as you stop streaming.
