WEBVTT

00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:08.320
Uh, hey, got it. Okay, good. And we are now

00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:13.840
live. We We're late, but we're 8 minutes late.

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

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

00:00:20.240 --> 00:00:26.400
worst thing. It's like going one mile over the speed limit. It's like, who

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:30.560
cares? Yeah. compared to last week where we went 50 over the speed limit and had

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:35.120
our car impounded because we were like we were so late that people got the time

00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:39.120
zone wrong and thought that we were a little bit early cuz we were like 58

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

00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:50.320
zones start coming into play. Yeah. So good. Anyways, this week we have lots of

00:00:47.360 --> 00:00:53.840
topics most of which are AMD based. There is so much AMD news, which is

00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:57.520
great because their stock needs to come up. Um, so hopefully that goes well, but

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

00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:06.479
ultrawide monitor. And North Korea has started manufacturing their own iPad.

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

00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:13.200
the intro using the Stream Deck. So

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.

00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:27.439
That was awkward. Oh no. But it's fancy, but it doesn't

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:29.040
work. Why? It worked before. It It

00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:33.200
worked fine. Like literally, literally just when we weren't live, it worked

00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:38.799
completely. Okay, Taran. It broke. Well, I don't know what

00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:43.439
to tell you. Hang on. Say hi to Taran, everybody. Hi. Trying to get this here.

00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:49.200
Just close. Give Give us a second. Close the thing. Oh god, it's gone.

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

00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:57.439
it? Well, we can't see now cuz No. Well,

00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:03.040
just click on it. Okay. It worked when we weren't live. Just click on it.

00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:06.719
Oh, good gracious. That kind of sums things up right now. Is that like So,

00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:11.360
there's no exploit integration right now. That's the issue. They have OBS,

00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:16.560
but they don't have exploits. What? So, I told them that that's important and

00:02:14.160 --> 00:02:21.280
like it is. We don't need Windows anything other than 10 nor or XSplit.

00:02:19.040 --> 00:02:24.879
Screw it. Anyways, iFixit. You can screw things with their screwdrivers. That

00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:30.239
would be fantastic. Thank you, iFixit. Also, LTX Tech Carnival 2017. If you

00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:33.920
want to go to that, get some tickets. Meet me there. And Squarespace. Thank

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

00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:41.840
going to try to use the Stream Deck. Nope. Going to click on it. That worked

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:45.920
better. Sometimes an easier solution is better. Not always, but sometimes. I

00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:50.480
feel bad because I was kind of attacking Elgato on Twitter because their stream

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

00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:57.680
Stream Deck and like I have one now

00:02:55.440 --> 00:03:01.599
because Catboy boiler bought one for me which was like amazing. Well, but I I

00:03:00.160 --> 00:03:05.760
can't use it cuz I use Windows 10. Aren't you currently using the version

00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:09.760
of Windows that has the current least market penetration except for maybe

00:03:07.440 --> 00:03:14.959
Vista? Probably close to that. Okay. Okay. But

00:03:12.640 --> 00:03:19.440
like supporting the last two is a fairly general thing. I think that's fair. You

00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:23.040
think but okay. Anyways, I still think it's a super cool product for a pretty

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:26.800
niche crowd, but still a super cool product. So, I'm I'm actually not trying

00:03:25.040 --> 00:03:30.640
to roast them by having it not work right now. There's something going wrong

00:03:29.040 --> 00:03:35.920
because it was totally working flawlessly when we were offline and I

00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:39.360
will completely admit to that. So, that's how it always happens. It works

00:03:37.519 --> 00:03:42.239
perfectly when no one's looking. Taran is the one that's trying to do the

00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:45.920
review on this thing. So, if you guys are interested in the stream deck um and

00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:49.040
have any specific questions about it or anything like that, hit Taran up on on

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.

00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:57.280
TaranVH. That Yeah, that sounds right. So, TaranVH on Twitter. If you have any

00:03:56.239 --> 00:04:01.519
specific questions about the Stream Deck, he will vet those, see if they're

00:03:59.760 --> 00:04:06.879
important enough, and maybe include them in his review. But to start the show,

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

00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:15.760
topics is AMD announces new Thread

00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:18.799
Ripper details. And these are pretty freaking juicy. You want to start firing

00:04:17.359 --> 00:04:22.160
through them? I'll get this on screen. Yeah. So, Threadripper is conf

00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:27.840
confirmed to be half of an Epic processor. That's EPYC. And I had when I

00:04:25.919 --> 00:04:31.520
first read this, I had this slide Gary Johnson moment uh where I didn't I

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

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

00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:43.199
and 32 threads on the top end, uh, made

00:04:40.960 --> 00:04:49.040
of two processor dies. So, that's pretty interesting. Um, all products feature 64

00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:52.960
lanes of PCI Express with 60 of those, uh, coming off of the chipset. Uh, for

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,

00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:02.800
you're getting quite a bit more with this. um all products featuring DDR4

00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:07.280
quad channel RAM pre standard 16 megs of

00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:09.840
level three cache uh an X399 chipset and

00:05:07.280 --> 00:05:15.120
which is so annoying. Yeah, cuz I saw this I had yet another moment like that

00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:19.759
where I saw X399. I'm just like is Intel releasing like two families of chipsets

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.

00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:27.840
Like, so yeah, I I wonder if they're just trying to zet Sintel with the

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

00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:36.080
not going to want to name your next platform this one cuz we already had it

00:05:32.880 --> 00:05:38.320
and blah blah. Yeah, exactly. The naming

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

00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:44.960
guys are probably even like tired of hearing it at this point because I feel

00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:49.759
like every single video that a product has a stupid name. uh like the like the

00:05:47.919 --> 00:05:56.080
Surface Pro instead of being the Surface Pro 5 or almost uh any Razer laptop at

00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:58.880
this point. Like it's just it's so frustrating that all the reviewers freak

00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:04.400
out about it. I don't know how interesting it is for the viewers, but

00:06:00.880 --> 00:06:05.680
like uh just I don't know. At some point

00:06:04.400 --> 00:06:10.800
I'm just expecting someone to get sick of it like a new company start model

00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:16.080
names company name company product name one and just start one two three four.

00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:20.319
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, perfect. Skew one product one done. Why not? We've made

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

00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:28.960
ever processors was what the 404. What

00:06:25.919 --> 00:06:30.400
happened to one through 403? Like Like I

00:06:28.960 --> 00:06:36.000
know there was a reason behind it, but still, you know, anyway. But, okay, so

00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:42.000
there's a new there's a rumor about the Threadripper, and that rumor is that

00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:45.840
the Threadripper might be under $1,000,

00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:48.560
which due to the, you know, more recent

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

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

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

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

00:07:05.440 --> 00:07:11.360
like this isn't this is a like a random

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

00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:19.120
loose, but yeah, I don't know. A49 is insanely

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

00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:28.400
like way too it doesn't seem unrealistic.

00:07:26.880 --> 00:07:32.639
This seems like something they would do. I mean, there's also the whole IPC

00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:36.639
argument and what single threaded like. Yeah, there's more to it for sure. But,

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

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

00:07:42.960 --> 00:07:49.440
try to power through some AMD news here. Hopefully, everyone wants to hear about

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

00:07:53.360 --> 00:08:00.160
prices of the Ryzen 7700

00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:01.840
and the Ryzen 1700X.

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

00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:11.919
$319. That's going down by 10 or sorry,

00:08:10.080 --> 00:08:16.960
the current price is $329. That's going down by 10 to 319. Not a major

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

00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:25.759
to $3.49. And the eight hundred X has a

00:08:24.479 --> 00:08:31.759
little bit of a smaller change. It's going from $499 to $469 with a savings

00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:33.279
of $30. That that 1700X discount is

00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:36.080
pretty sick, actually. It's pretty substantial. It's just like booking a

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

00:08:38.959 --> 00:08:43.919
what's happening here. Well, not entirely. Not entirely, but the most

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

00:08:45.839 --> 00:08:52.399
end, though. But that's, you know, I I think, you know, $50, you know, get

00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:55.839
yourself get yourself a AAA title, get yourself a few 12-packs of Mountain Dew,

00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:59.519
get yourself whatever else you're into. Yeah. Fill the mini fridge. There you

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

00:09:01.839 --> 00:09:06.399
with a mini fridge. I'm thirsty middle of the night. Just reach over. But my

00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:10.720
fridge is all the way downstairs now. It's like, get some nucaca. Yeah,

00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:15.680
perfect. Um Yeah. But like I I think that's pretty substantial. 400 to 350.

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,

00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:23.200
but then I think there's been some inflation and now it might be like 350,

00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:27.440
right? Um, but for a long time, like consoles were right around 300. Like a

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

00:09:30.800 --> 00:09:36.480
aim at like 300 cuz it was a digestible

00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:39.519
but relatively expensive item that you could buy. But like a digestible, like

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

00:09:42.560 --> 00:09:47.360
industry, right? You you want to price things high but not too high. And

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

00:09:50.800 --> 00:09:59.680
number. That's pretty cool. And on top of that, AMD Vega release dates. This is

00:09:57.040 --> 00:10:04.080
cool. The Vega Frontier Edition card will be available on June 27th. Can we

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

00:10:05.839 --> 00:10:12.480
here because it Yeah, that's pretty cool. Mhm. the I like it.

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

00:10:16.079 --> 00:10:21.279
actually a um it's a cube. It lights up.

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

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

00:10:28.959 --> 00:10:34.000
stuff. Come on, Anantech.

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

00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:42.160
always hated when there's article clickbait ads on a site that is based

00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:45.920
around articles cuz like it makes you think that like

00:10:44.160 --> 00:10:52.160
reverse hair loss with this brilliantly simple home remedy. An Nantech is now

00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:57.040
talking about like uh this secret that

00:10:52.160 --> 00:10:59.360
will cure your diabetes and this ear

00:10:57.040 --> 00:11:05.760
tonitis ending trick thing and like weird other stuff. #fake news. Except it

00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:07.279
literally is. Yeah. But yeah. Yeah. But

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

00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:16.000
because I feel like Vega has been this like cherry that's been dangled in front

00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:19.440
of everyone for so freaking long. And it's been actually really annoying

00:11:17.839 --> 00:11:23.279
because people have been asking me forever on my stream, on this stream, on

00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:26.880
all the comments, on all the videos, on the forums, everywhere like, "Oh, should

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

00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:34.160
idea." Yeah, because I don't know when Vega is coming. Information's been a

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

00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:44.000
line because the Frontier edition is is is more of a professionals card, you

00:11:41.760 --> 00:11:48.880
know, so it's not really for gaming. Yeah. Yeah. Sounds like the Founders

00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:52.880
Edition there. There's a lot of originality

00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:56.560
going on over there right now. X399, the Founders Edition. Now they need to

00:11:54.240 --> 00:12:00.160
combine the two. The X399 Founders Edition. Oh, good. Or sorry, Frontier.

00:11:58.560 --> 00:12:04.959
Frontier edition. Frontier Edition. I'll I'll get it right. Sorry about that.

00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:09.040
Frontier edition. Come on, guys. Anyways, that's actually super cool. I'm

00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:12.880
really stoked on that release date. And I'm assuming that mean cuz like as far

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

00:12:14.079 --> 00:12:22.240
getting one fairly soon and we'll be able to like screw around with it, which

00:12:17.680 --> 00:12:24.800
will be cool. Um, I look forward to it.

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

00:12:26.959 --> 00:12:35.040
cards marketed towards early adopters. Completely unlike the founders edition.

00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:41.920
Yeah. Okay. A price has not been announced. Um

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

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

00:12:46.560 --> 00:12:54.480
high. It will Yeah, it will be many. Expecting it's not going to be cheap.

00:12:51.040 --> 00:12:57.040
Um, some Intel news. Finally, Intel

00:12:54.480 --> 00:13:03.440
getting on the board. So much AMD news. Intel announces Skylake X bringing 18

00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:05.360
core HCC silicon to consumers for

00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:11.440
$2,000. They've also simultaneously announced

00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:14.959
KBLEX, which is very confusing. Yes. So,

00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:17.519
so Skylake X is like the super high-end

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

00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:28.480
8thread i7s, right? Which going through puberty there

00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:31.120
apparently. Yeah. But uh that was wild.

00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:36.240
So, so, so we're not used to seeing four core 8thread SKs being considered an

00:13:34.160 --> 00:13:39.760
enthusiast product, but apparently now at least some of them are. So, that's

00:13:38.079 --> 00:13:45.440
happening as well. Yeah, I it's it's very speaking of

00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:51.120
confusing naming schemes, but yeah, top end i9 um 18 cores, 36 threads, uh

00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:54.800
$2,000. It's cool. But I think this is going to

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

00:13:57.920 --> 00:14:06.399
concerned, AMD is probably going to win this fight because just the value

00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:11.600
proposition of those dollar amounts is pretty intense. I feel bad for anyone

00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:19.199
who bought a 6T950X with it with its puny 10 cores because they're selling a

00:14:14.800 --> 00:14:22.880
10 they're selling a 10 core i9 as the

00:14:19.199 --> 00:14:26.160
lowest end i9. They have score excuse

00:14:22.880 --> 00:14:28.399
going from 10 to 18 cores. So if you

00:14:26.160 --> 00:14:35.040
spent that much money on a 6950X, I feel bad for you, son.

00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:37.440
I I got 18 problems. I guess I got Yeah,

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

00:14:39.199 --> 00:14:44.160
this joke later. I feel like this is one that's worth like processing in the

00:14:42.880 --> 00:14:47.839
background for a few minutes. Yeah. Okay, cool. Uh, speaking about

00:14:46.160 --> 00:14:53.120
processing in the background possibly not happening anymore. Elon Musk to

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:55.600
Trump, you quit Paris, so I quit you.

00:14:53.120 --> 00:15:00.560
Um, this is some political jargon, so we're probably not going to spend too

00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:02.320
much time on this. Um, but Elon Musk and

00:15:00.560 --> 00:15:07.120
Disney boss, didn't know about that part, quit Trump's business panel over

00:15:05.040 --> 00:15:09.760
the Paris pollute. Basically what happened, uh, there was this thing

00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:14.160
called the Paris Accord. It was agreed to last year. It was a ton of countries

00:15:11.680 --> 00:15:18.079
came together saying, "Hey, let's do something about global warming." Then

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

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

00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:32.000
no longer sitting on I think President Trump had like some sort of technology

00:15:28.959 --> 00:15:33.600
council advisory group thing. Um Elon's

00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:38.480
not too happy with the Paris decision, so he's pulling out. And that's pretty

00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:44.240
much that. Yeah. So Elon's tweet said, "Am departing presidential councils.

00:15:41.040 --> 00:15:48.240
Climate change is real. Leaving Paris is

00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:51.120
not good for America or the world." And

00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:55.120
there you go. Although in counter news, because I'm trying to explain the whole

00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:59.440
playing field, I believe there was like a surge in the stock market or

00:15:56.800 --> 00:16:02.320
something. I have no idea. Stock market did well or something. If you're

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

00:16:05.199 --> 00:16:11.839
our mo. Correlation is not causation. Or is it? Decide for yourself. Also, it

00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:17.279
should be noted, however you feel about this issue, the Paris Accord actually,

00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:21.839
to my knowledge, it doesn't mandate that the signatorries actually do anything.

00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:26.800
So, it's not like, oh, you must reduce carbon emissions by X percentage by year

00:16:24.800 --> 00:16:31.759
or there will be consequences. It I don't think it does anything like that.

00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:33.440
Um, but uh there which whichever way you

00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:39.040
feel about this, uh there you go. So, this is another like uh kind of

00:16:35.680 --> 00:16:40.320
political topic kind of deal where we're

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

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

00:16:46.560 --> 00:16:51.040
the whole popped corn. I don't know where I was going with that, but the

00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:54.480
whole piece of popcorn. Yeah, there we go. Well, one is a precursor, the

00:16:53.199 --> 00:16:59.360
others. Yeah, I guess I guess that works. Yeah. Okay. I don't know. Um, so

00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:02.560
this is US approved social media background checks for visa applicants.

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

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

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

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

00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:28.640
major sites that cover tech news there's always about either privacy or net

00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:33.520
neutrality which affects social media and is is discussed as a tech topic So,

00:17:31.280 --> 00:17:37.840
I think it's completely appropriate. Yeah, I've always just thought it's been

00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:40.559
a little weird, but I do agree with saying it at all. There's a

00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:45.280
questionnaire which we can check out here in a second um because it was

00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:52.320
linked by the glorious person who made this doc. So, here we go.

00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:54.240
Here's the Wow. Okay. Um, yeah, we're

00:17:52.320 --> 00:17:58.320
not going to look that closely at that. Social media identifier, nameandle,

00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:02.640
social media platforms. So, you can see that right there.

00:18:01.120 --> 00:18:07.120
So I guess you'd have to declare I wonder how like what is defined by

00:18:05.120 --> 00:18:11.200
social media. Please provide your unique username for any websites or

00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:16.640
applications you have used to create or share content, photos, videos, status

00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:21.600
updates, etc. as part of a public profile within the last 5 years. So like

00:18:19.520 --> 00:18:25.200
what qualifies? If someone is not from the states and they use Linus

00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:30.000
techtips.com, I think they would have to declare their

00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:31.360
username and the site.

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

00:18:33.520 --> 00:18:40.080
that I mean seriously, does that like I think it would if you want to embarrass

00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:46.080
yourself to that like point like because that is in a for it says status updates

00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:48.880
which is just text and then etc.

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

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

00:18:54.559 --> 00:19:01.760
Twitter. I have a public Twitter handle. You put that down. You you declare it.

00:18:59.840 --> 00:19:04.720
If you had five other things, would they necessarily know we're finding? Maybe

00:19:03.120 --> 00:19:10.559
they're going to like cross search your handle. They could potentially do that.

00:19:07.520 --> 00:19:12.320
Boy 52 and find you on Pornhub as well.

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

00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:21.120
Border Protection and you only declare one handle and be like, "Oh yeah, we

00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:24.720
need to like look at this guy." So there's this huge like veil of secrecy

00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:28.720
around it, you know? Um cuz you don't know exactly what that information.

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

00:19:31.360 --> 00:19:38.080
for some random site 4.45

00:19:35.120 --> 00:19:41.679
years ago and completely forgot about it and tons of people have Yeah. accounts

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

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,

00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:54.880
uh, this isn't like an auto request. It

00:19:53.600 --> 00:20:00.000
says that additional information would only be requested when the department determines that quote unquote such

00:19:58.080 --> 00:20:04.080
information is required to confirm identity or conduct more rigorous

00:20:01.600 --> 00:20:08.080
national security vetting. So, this sounds like they're going to ask you if

00:20:05.760 --> 00:20:12.160
you're already like flagged, if you're already some kind of person of interest

00:20:09.520 --> 00:20:15.520
to them. It also says, "If you're unsure of the answer to a question, please

00:20:13.840 --> 00:20:19.120
provide a response to the best of your knowledge." Mhm. So, I don't feel like

00:20:17.840 --> 00:20:22.720
you're going to get crushed too long. The vast majority of dealings with the

00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:26.400
federal government is you're not going to get in ridiculous trouble as long as

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

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

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

00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:42.559
linesttips.com. If you're trying to get a visa in the

00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:48.240
US, make sure you list that as a social media platform. I want as many US

00:20:45.760 --> 00:20:53.600
officials searching my site for people's usernames as possible

00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:57.760
just cuz it sounds fun. Okay. So if we get guys in like dark

00:20:55.679 --> 00:21:04.799
dark suits showing up Yeah. one day at the door and sunglasses. Awesome. Yeah.

00:20:59.919 --> 00:21:06.320
Yeah. Super cool. I'm excited.

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.

00:21:09.360 --> 00:21:16.000
Probably nothing good. We'll do. Yes.

00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:20.240
Thank you very much, Roy. I appreciate I appreciate your uh your willingness to

00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:25.440
do so. Yeah, at least I'm a US citizen. Yeah, I feel the same way.

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

00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:33.679
um to Bellingham and I got a pretty gruff gruff border officer. I gave him

00:21:31.919 --> 00:21:39.679
my passport. He he saw it was from the US. His whole tone completely changed.

00:21:37.120 --> 00:21:43.440
Oh, welcome back. He just he started he was just started becoming super chill

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,

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

00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:54.480
border and pick up a darn package.

00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:58.880
So many of them. Oh lord. Okay. My favorite question is,

00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:03.200
"Uh, what are you coming over for? I'm just picking up a package." Uh, sir,

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,

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

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

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

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

00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:29.039
two people in front of me, which is Greater Vancouver has two major highway

00:22:27.520 --> 00:22:33.919
uh border crossings and they're both usually extremely busy so you can wait

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

00:22:37.760 --> 00:22:43.840
Oh, wait. I air quotes iPad. Yeah. Yeah.

00:22:41.120 --> 00:22:51.440
So, a North Korean company named Wow. Uh Moyang Moyang. Sure. Uh,

00:22:48.320 --> 00:22:54.559
Mioyong it released a new tablet and

00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:56.320
they called it the iPad. So that is not

00:22:54.559 --> 00:23:00.400
Yeah. Okay, good. It's It says in the corner of this photo, actual iPad

00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:04.640
designed by Apple in California. I like how designed by Apple in California.

00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:08.400
Made it all the way to that subtext. Goodness. Okay. I Okay, I think the

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

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

00:23:15.840 --> 00:23:21.360
and Pyongyang. So yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:23:19.120 --> 00:23:26.720
Apple hasn't commented on this development um its use of its most

00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:30.480
popular trademarks. And while the company undoubtedly isn't pleased with

00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:34.880
it, it's unclear what kind of legal action it could take against a company

00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:39.120
that's controlled by the North Korean government. I guarantee you they don't

00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:42.159
care. Their lawyers don't care. Um I don't think there's really any

00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:45.760
significant market in North Korea for Western consumer goods. At at the same

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

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

00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:59.200
over there. Oh, it's set to like three channels that only broadcast government

00:23:57.280 --> 00:24:01.520
approved like content and propaganda. This is probably going to be the same

00:24:00.320 --> 00:24:07.760
thing where they have it running through like a firewall just for North Korea.

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

00:24:11.360 --> 00:24:18.559
fantastic. It has a 1 GHz CPU, 512 megabytes of RAM, 8 gigs of internal

00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:23.200
storage, 16 gigs of external storage, an 8 in display, and it promises 6 hours of

00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:27.760
battery life. Honestly, that is not quite as bad as I expected. The next

00:24:25.120 --> 00:24:31.520
part, though, is rather fantastic. It's currently unknown what kind of apps the

00:24:29.679 --> 00:24:35.760
device will be able to run in a region like North Korea, which is not

00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:40.240
surprising. But it has a total of 28 websites that it can access.

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

00:24:44.159 --> 00:24:51.840
of compressed JPEG. I think Lionus owns more than 28 domains just cuz he like

00:24:49.360 --> 00:24:55.440
likes buying domains. Yeah. So So how many images of the deer leader is that?

00:24:53.360 --> 00:24:59.919
8 gigabytes. And how much how much does how much would like you know there has

00:24:57.679 --> 00:25:03.919
to be a minimum quota like you you have to have a certain percentage of your

00:25:01.840 --> 00:25:08.159
storage on your tablet filled with various angles and various images of the

00:25:06.159 --> 00:25:12.960
of the leader. Yes. Oh yeah. And like and like the the the the

00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:17.279
The uh the game is probably something like it's like Space Invaders except it

00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:19.919
was like you know Kim Jong-un like a little fighter fighting the capitalist

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.

00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:31.600
Bastards. Yeah. But so so yeah, that's happening. Uh that's pretty epic. Can

00:25:29.840 --> 00:25:34.799
Apple even do anything to stop this? I seriously doubt it unless Apple decides

00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:40.720
to get an army, which at this point they could probably do. They probably could.

00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:41.919
But I mean I mean again like if If

00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:46.080
you're going to say, "Okay, will this violate some sort of like intellectual

00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:49.679
property statute with North or not statute, but agreement that North Korea

00:25:47.600 --> 00:25:53.760
is probably not even a signatory to they still have to enforce their laws inside

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

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,

00:26:01.600 --> 00:26:07.120
probably nothing's going to happen. And some folks in North Korea will be

00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:12.159
getting their um commie pads. So, yeah, there you have it. After that, we've got

00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:14.559
ASUS with an announcement of a 35 in ROG

00:26:12.159 --> 00:26:20.720
Swift PG35VQ display with quantum dots and a 200 Hz

00:26:17.360 --> 00:26:22.720
refresh rate. My question

00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:30.400
is, I'm actually getting a little bit disturbed by this. ASUS, where the heck

00:26:26.080 --> 00:26:32.720
is the 4K um HDR

00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:38.880
G-Sync beautiful Swift that they announced at CES that I saw in person

00:26:35.760 --> 00:26:41.279
working, you know? Why can't I buy one?

00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:46.240
I tweeted them and they just liked it. They didn't say anything. Oh, the long

00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:52.000
troll. Okay. Well, you know, you know better than to see a prototype at a

00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:55.679
trade show and then be like, "Oh, where can I buy this?

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

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

00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:09.120
that. So, funny funny story about the seeing the prototype thing. U in 2012,

00:27:05.760 --> 00:27:11.600
just before Christmas in 2012, I decided

00:27:09.120 --> 00:27:16.480
uh that I was This was remember 2012. This is early Kickstarter. This is when

00:27:13.520 --> 00:27:19.919
people still like believe that things might happen. I saw a hammer on there.

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

00:27:21.919 --> 00:27:28.400
this. Is this like the two-handed great sword?

00:27:26.159 --> 00:27:32.799
The cobbar. Here it is. Cobbar hammer by Lance Brandon. Let's see. Was I right?

00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:38.799
Was it 2012? This thing does look pretty cool. Um, yeah, hit updates. So, yeah,

00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:41.279
expected delivery of June 2013

00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:48.000
and my gift to him was the backing of the project. Um,

00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:50.080
project launched April 25th, 2013. Okay.

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

00:27:52.799 --> 00:28:00.480
backed the cobbar hammer. I decided to back this thing from my dad. It's super

00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:02.240
cool in theory. It usually I'm not into

00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:06.480
like multi-tool stuff, but this one actually looks pretty sweet. Um, you can

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

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

00:28:13.120 --> 00:28:19.279
different things. And it's it's their destruction tools. You can take them

00:28:16.960 --> 00:28:24.399
apart completely. It's that is amazing. Like it's pretty cool, right? It's still

00:28:21.760 --> 00:28:29.679
not out. But the best part about this, because most Kickstarter projects, if

00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:32.399
it's been like four years, they would

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

00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:42.799
their updates tab, which I check every once in a blue moon just out of

00:28:39.039 --> 00:28:44.880
interest. Fifth month, 10day, 17th year.

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

00:28:46.320 --> 00:28:52.799
not logged in, but dang. It's basically a modular hammer. Why is it taking so

00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:56.640
long? Like, does it does does it have Bluetooth or something? Like, what what

00:28:54.320 --> 00:28:59.760
like why is it? And yeah, that's the other part. Okay, so the whole reason

00:28:57.840 --> 00:29:04.559
why I got to this story is in their demonstration videos, they have one and

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

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

00:29:09.919 --> 00:29:16.080
back this because they physically have the product and I can clearly see that

00:29:14.320 --> 00:29:20.480
it is working." Maybe it was a very very very well done hologram.

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

00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:30.559
my soul. That destroyed any possibility of me being into Kickstarter. That like

00:29:27.840 --> 00:29:34.240
fueled the Kickstarter Kickarted series. Well, it's funny cuz it's a literal

00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:38.159
hammer. So, it smashed your faith. It smashed my faith. Yes. Kickstarter.

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

00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:45.919
to like my dad is totally um of the

00:29:43.840 --> 00:29:49.520
persuasion and I agree with this to be completely honest of just buy the damn

00:29:48.080 --> 00:29:53.039
tool, use it till it breaks, and then buy another one. And like toss them

00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:57.600
around, do whatever. The the job is what's important, but try to not buy one

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

00:29:59.600 --> 00:30:05.120
amazing tool. Whoa. He just like wants something that he can do the job with.

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

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

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

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

00:30:20.399 --> 00:30:26.559
it. Completely failed. So when chat said

00:30:23.919 --> 00:30:31.919
I hate sand. Yeah. It's coarse and it gets everywhere. Just

00:30:29.679 --> 00:30:37.440
the story. It's funny every time. It is. It absolutely is. Uh, speaking of funny

00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:43.360
every time, every single time it's funny. We're going to go to looking at

00:30:39.840 --> 00:30:45.440
Channel Super Fun on Floatplane. Uh, so

00:30:43.360 --> 00:30:48.559
here we go. This is a Floatplane club. Where's Channel Super Fun? Meanest

00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:51.919
YouTube comments. This was actually genuinely hilarious. I had a great time

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

00:30:55.840 --> 00:31:00.399
and John who's sitting right beside me, read through comments. That's what

00:30:59.360 --> 00:31:07.039
you're doing every day. You're living it. various platforms and discuss how

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

00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:15.200
have picked far meaner things. There's some pretty intense things. Some of them

00:31:13.760 --> 00:31:19.120
are brutal. Dennis has some pretty brutal ones. Th this one on screen, how

00:31:17.200 --> 00:31:21.919
to be Dennis, be terrible at everything, cheat, and then lie about cheating. That

00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:27.520
honestly sounds a little bit more like Lionus with Lionus. Lionus is like the

00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:31.840
perpetual. If you watch Kenny versus Spenny, Lionus on Channel Super Fun is

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

00:31:33.600 --> 00:31:41.039
or attempt to cheat. Yeah, I think the last the batting scrapyard wars, am I

00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:42.640
right? There you go. Yeah, the batting

00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:46.720
cages wasn't a competition cuz we were just literally hitting balls, but other

00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:51.200
than that, yeah, every time. So, you can see it scrubs pretty quick, which is

00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:54.640
cool. You can watch this video now if you're interested, which is cool. And

00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:59.440
you can even download to watch it later. You can, which is awesomely fantastic.

00:31:57.600 --> 00:32:03.440
Scrapyard Wars. If you guys have been enjoying that, the last episode of

00:32:01.679 --> 00:32:08.240
Scrapyard Wars will be on Floatplane this weekend. They've been on Flowplane

00:32:05.600 --> 00:32:13.120
every Saturday so far, but the main editor for them, Edel, got pretty

00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:16.960
freaking sick, actually. Um, so the next one is going to be slightly delayed. It

00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:20.880
will be coming out on Sunday instead of on Saturday, but it is still coming on

00:32:18.559 --> 00:32:25.519
Floatplane first. So, you can see the actually insane, probably the most

00:32:23.679 --> 00:32:30.559
insane conclusion of any Scraphead Wars we've had. The last season of Scrappy

00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:33.200
War season 4 was my favorite one. But in

00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:38.480
terms of conclusions, this last conclusion is insane and by

00:32:36.399 --> 00:32:42.640
far the most nutty freaking balls conclusion we've ever had. Like no

00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:45.919
question about it at all. You don't know, do you? I've only watched through

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

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

00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:56.399
has been trying to stay rather closed about it around the office cuz a lot of

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

00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:04.799
last couple of them. Yeah. So, yeah, I

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

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

00:33:12.320 --> 00:33:17.760
few different things that that meish YouTube comments on Channel Super Fun is

00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:21.200
genuinely hilarious. Would highly recommend that. Uh there's some tech

00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:27.200
wiki stuff on here. Why do people still use fax machines? If you guys like the

00:33:23.760 --> 00:33:29.360
sketch that we did um for our scanners

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

00:33:32.080 --> 00:33:39.200
still use fax machines? Uh featuring the one, the only Dennis Leowl. Um currently

00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:43.679
on Floatplane Club just went up today. And yeah. Hey, it's you. Hey, there he

00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:46.480
is. It's coming out of a phone. I love it.

00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:50.399
I'm going to show you guys just the first little bit of this. sitting there

00:33:48.320 --> 00:33:55.039
minding your own business and you go, "What's that strange ticking noise? Oh

00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:58.799
my goodness, it's my god, it's a bomb." So, you call your friend. Anyways,

00:33:57.440 --> 00:34:05.679
that's your teaser. And there there's there's there's another episode um about

00:34:02.080 --> 00:34:07.360
um about SEO, I believe, which

00:34:05.679 --> 00:34:12.079
isn't as exciting, but it's still very interesting. A cool a cool topic. The

00:34:09.919 --> 00:34:16.399
TechWiki is interesting because it doesn't have like the like sex appeal of

00:34:14.720 --> 00:34:19.919
certain channels, but it's more interesting than a lot of other things.

00:34:18.079 --> 00:34:23.760
Luke has basically summed up my entire life.

00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:28.000
It's not what I was trying to say. Well, you said.

00:34:25.520 --> 00:34:32.000
Anyways, if you need a website for whatever reason, you can go to

00:34:29.919 --> 00:34:36.240
Squarespace and get your website on Squarespace. You can save 10% by using

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

00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:43.440
month. And if you subscribe for a year, you get a domain rolled in with that.

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

00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:53.119
nice, beautiful, scrollable page. Um, and everyone can now publish content in

00:34:51.040 --> 00:34:58.160
the Apple News format directly from their Squarespace blog module, which is

00:34:55.280 --> 00:35:03.200
pretty cool. Um, it's it's automatically available to millions of potential

00:34:59.599 --> 00:35:05.920
viewers. This thing dynamically changes

00:35:03.200 --> 00:35:10.000
in a responsive way to basically whatever screen size and whatever format

00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:12.640
you need. It's all done for you. It's fantastic. Did you talk about commerce

00:35:11.119 --> 00:35:16.560
already? Yes, I do. If you're using Squarespace and you want to host an

00:35:14.640 --> 00:35:21.599
online store, this is new. This is a pretty recent update uh to the platform.

00:35:18.720 --> 00:35:25.040
They they they now support lots of different new currencies. So if you want

00:35:23.040 --> 00:35:28.160
to take Israeli shekels, if you want to take pesos from Mexico, if you want to

00:35:26.640 --> 00:35:32.160
take New Zealand dollars, Singapore dollars, even uh rubles from our good

00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:36.560
friends over in Russia, you can do that now. That's really cool, actually. Um so

00:35:34.720 --> 00:35:41.280
it's squarespace.com/wan, offer code WAN, 10% off. Moving on, if you need to

00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:45.920
fix some stuff, I actually use this thing very often at home now that I have

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

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

00:35:53.520 --> 00:36:00.160
kit. Magnets, which is actually really nice. The the lid for the driver kit

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,

00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:09.280
which is pretty sick. Um, it has precision ESD safe tweezers, including a

00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:11.680
pair of reverse tweezers. Um, it has a

00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:17.680
rather wide variety of plastic opening tools that are better quality. Let me

00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:21.839
see if I actually have one here.

00:36:17.680 --> 00:36:23.599
Yes, these things are beautiful. Some of

00:36:21.839 --> 00:36:28.320
the the older ones that they had were still really cool and I liked them a

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

00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:35.680
few times, the edge would get a little chewed up and then you might have some

00:36:33.520 --> 00:36:40.560
issues getting through some thinner electronics. But these new ones have

00:36:38.079 --> 00:36:44.480
been able to withstand like everything we've thrown at them. Uh, which has

00:36:42.640 --> 00:36:48.160
actually been really cool. They give you three, which is pretty awesome. So even

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

00:36:50.160 --> 00:36:57.200
because the current trend in electronics desk oh not desktops but um laptops,

00:36:54.880 --> 00:37:01.599
tablets, mobile phones has been let's make this thing as difficult to use user

00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:05.599
service as possible. So the opening tools really help. So those are like

00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:11.359
manual intervention openers basically. Um it's backed by iFix its lifetime

00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:13.440
warranty which is awesome. um buy it

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

00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:20.560
repair resources, which is awesome. So, even if you have your own driver kit and

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

00:37:21.839 --> 00:37:26.880
buy this, you can still go to iFixit's website and learn how to take things

00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:31.839
apart, which is awesome. They use their own tool kits on there, so it's easier

00:37:29.520 --> 00:37:36.000
if you have their toolkit. But yeah, head over to L uh sorry, head over to

00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:41.599
ifixit.com/Linus and use offer code Linus at the checkout to save five bucks

00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:43.440
on a purchase of 10 bucks or more.

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

00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:52.400
you're in Canada, check out amazon.ca for cheaper shipping options because

00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:55.680
sometimes we have sponsors and we talk about buying it or whatever and people

00:37:54.000 --> 00:38:00.160
in Canada where we're from are like, "Guys, you're from our own region and

00:37:58.079 --> 00:38:03.920
shipping sucks for this." So, they're offering another option, which is pretty

00:38:01.920 --> 00:38:10.240
cool. Also, LTX, if you want to show up to a

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

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

00:38:16.160 --> 00:38:20.240
go to the the worst URL to say out loud

00:38:19.359 --> 00:38:23.240
ever, which is ticketrocket.co/eventdetails246LTX-20

00:38:26.560 --> 00:38:33.119
2017. Come meet me. We can talk about burger

00:38:30.560 --> 00:38:36.800
trivia. Oh my god. You should have a trivia booth. We'll figure something

00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:41.599
out. That would actually be awesome. I'm doing VR stuff. Taran's editing a video.

00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:45.760
You can do the like What is that? Geogesser. Yeah. No promises, but it's a

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.

00:38:49.359 --> 00:38:55.680
And back to the real show. Okay. What is

00:38:53.839 --> 00:38:59.359
there even to talk about still? This week was weird. Most of the like

00:38:57.760 --> 00:39:04.800
interesting news from this week is in literal videos that Lionus hosted from

00:39:02.160 --> 00:39:10.320
Computex, but um Microsoft has rolled out not one but

00:39:07.520 --> 00:39:15.200
two bad builds on the Windows Insider program.

00:39:12.240 --> 00:39:18.880
Thanks guys. It's like every so often they're like they remember, oh, we're

00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:23.359
that company that made Windows MI. We should remind people that from time to

00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:26.960
time when they do things like this Windows MI Millennium Edition. No, I

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

00:39:28.880 --> 00:39:35.520
how they marketed it. Like me, oh, it's my version of Windows is for regular

00:39:33.839 --> 00:39:39.599
people in the year 2000. Except it wasn't. It just made everyone very very

00:39:37.040 --> 00:39:44.240
mad because it didn't work. Yeah, the marketing was terrible. But Windows 7

00:39:41.520 --> 00:39:48.480
professional update. So yeah. Uh I like I don't know.

00:39:46.720 --> 00:39:54.560
Okay. And now people in the chat are saying or appear to think that I said

00:39:51.520 --> 00:39:56.880
Windows meme emme. Oh my god. which it

00:39:54.560 --> 00:40:03.119
kind of was. Someone needs to make a custom Microsoft OS that is skinned all

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

00:40:04.720 --> 00:40:11.520
wolf as your background. He's saying different things. Cartana is advice dog.

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,

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

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

00:40:23.040 --> 00:40:29.440
your system has like a pretty heavy slowdown and then comes up with like an

00:40:26.720 --> 00:40:34.000
error, it can be slowpoke. That'd be good. Please, someone do this.

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

00:40:36.079 --> 00:40:45.119
developing an idea for another line of tech this video as we speak. The custom

00:40:40.079 --> 00:40:48.640
meme. Windows meme. Yeah, there you go.

00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:51.440
Oh jeez. John's pics. What is this? This

00:40:48.640 --> 00:40:57.520
is just crap I sent to James. Okay. What is this? Tell the people. Tell the

00:40:54.079 --> 00:40:59.520
people. Okay. Um, well, first thing I

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

00:41:01.440 --> 00:41:08.560
then. So, let me click on the article first. And right to speak freely about

00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:13.440
engineering is subject of First Amendment lawsuit. An engineer was fined

00:41:11.119 --> 00:41:17.599
$500 for discussing traffic light engineering without a license. So, this

00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:22.480
happened down in Oregon, which is not too far from here. Uh, so Oh, I heard

00:41:19.680 --> 00:41:27.839
about this. Apparently, this guy sent the state some advice about um traffic

00:41:25.839 --> 00:41:33.359
light timings. Um specifically, he wanted to make yellows longer. Um which

00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:36.960
is which obviously can be very important for traffic flow reasons and also not to

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.

00:41:39.839 --> 00:41:46.079
Anyway, so um but instead of the state saying, "Hey, thank you for speaking

00:41:44.640 --> 00:41:50.720
out, concerned citizen. Let's have a look at this." they instead slap him

00:41:47.839 --> 00:41:54.160
with a $500 fine for doing something along the lines of practicing

00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:57.599
engineering without a license. Now, as some of you know, um I went to law

00:41:56.000 --> 00:42:00.720
school. I have a law license, which is currently inactive because why do I need

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

00:42:03.839 --> 00:42:09.760
other state and also up here in Canada, you can't do a thing called unauthorized

00:42:07.680 --> 00:42:14.880
practice of law. You can't practice law or give legal advice without a license.

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

00:42:16.720 --> 00:42:22.319
professional license by for engineers licensing body for engineers where

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

00:42:24.640 --> 00:42:32.160
generally discuss legal topics like I am doing right now actually without giving

00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:36.880
anyone specific advice. You would think an engineer could do the same thing but

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

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

00:42:43.040 --> 00:42:49.280
problem. Um, ended up going to court. Uh, he ended up suing uh the state of

00:42:47.280 --> 00:42:52.960
Oregon uh for breach of his first amendment rights, which is free speech.

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,

00:42:55.839 --> 00:43:01.040
but they basically said that he can talk

00:42:59.359 --> 00:43:05.760
about this as long as the lawsuit is pending. So, that is where where we are

00:43:03.440 --> 00:43:08.960
with this. Okay. Yeah. Interesting. I don't understand legal stuff, so I have

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,

00:43:13.359 --> 00:43:22.240
$10 million League of Legends tournament. Holy butt chunks. Team

00:43:19.520 --> 00:43:30.079
applications for the new LCS open today. The buyin price is $10 million.

00:43:27.599 --> 00:43:35.599
Players on the 10 selected teams get a guaranteed salary of at least $75,000.

00:43:33.040 --> 00:43:39.760
Wait, the buyin is 10 million? Yeah, that the buyin for the World Series of

00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:44.800
Poker isn't even $10 million. How how how does that

00:43:41.599 --> 00:43:47.599
Jeez, pretty nuts. Yeah. Yeah. Um Riot

00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:52.240
Game said it end goal is to create a strong and stable system that's

00:43:49.760 --> 00:43:57.040
profitable for pro players and provides entertainment for fans in the long term.

00:43:54.960 --> 00:44:02.400
And I guess they plan to do that by charging $10 million for 10 teams, which

00:44:00.319 --> 00:44:06.640
is $100 million. How many people on the team?

00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:12.319
you know, like there there would be five active players, but you have like a

00:44:09.280 --> 00:44:13.839
roster where you have coach and benches.

00:44:12.319 --> 00:44:18.480
Like there's there's other stuff going on.

00:44:16.160 --> 00:44:24.000
Once the 10 teams are determined, they are in the league for good. Ry says it

00:44:21.760 --> 00:44:28.000
will offer incentives to teams that play well and penalize the squads that

00:44:26.319 --> 00:44:32.400
purposefully that purposefully stay at the bottom of

00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:37.119
the ladder. What?

00:44:34.560 --> 00:44:42.960
Um, teams that tank for for on purpose for some reason. Why? Okay, so

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

00:44:44.160 --> 00:44:51.119
played LOL, but uh what I can say in um

00:44:47.680 --> 00:44:54.160
in more traditional sports um what

00:44:51.119 --> 00:44:55.599
certain teams at times are um especially

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

00:44:58.960 --> 00:45:05.599
tanking if they have no no hope of making the playoffs. So, they end up

00:45:02.240 --> 00:45:07.440
tanking for a better draft pick. So, so

00:45:05.599 --> 00:45:11.359
whether this has ever actually happened is a matter of debate, but like there's

00:45:09.760 --> 00:45:14.240
accusations of it happening that pop up every now and then. Maybe it's something

00:45:12.880 --> 00:45:18.560
like that you get some kind of extra benefit. Are you draft picking in League

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

00:45:19.760 --> 00:45:26.960
clear, we're not talking about draft picks in terms of like when you're

00:45:23.520 --> 00:45:28.079
drafting heroes for that game. Um No, we

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

00:45:31.520 --> 00:45:38.640
college player draft where the worst the worst teams can pick earlier to help

00:45:36.079 --> 00:45:44.640
make them better. So, yeah. pick a player like a person, a human being. Not

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

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

00:45:51.280 --> 00:45:57.119
true. So, that would be more like a not to get relegated. More like soccer, you

00:45:55.599 --> 00:46:03.040
know, about promotion, relegation, soccer. Okay. Interesting. Okay. Uh,

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

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

00:46:10.240 --> 00:46:17.040
would if if it would help them to have like teens represent specific areas like

00:46:15.200 --> 00:46:21.119
real sports or traditional sports. I won't insult anybody, but I don't see.

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

00:46:23.200 --> 00:46:32.400
think so because I think with esports it's more of a global thing and because

00:46:29.440 --> 00:46:39.520
everyone basically everyone is watching online and they online. Yeah. Like there

00:46:36.480 --> 00:46:42.400
I don't think there's a lot of

00:46:39.520 --> 00:46:46.480
team like personalities you like or like I I

00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:51.280
could see a little bit more like national spirit like if there was like

00:46:48.960 --> 00:46:55.599
the American team that happens a lot in like individual sports a a little bit

00:46:53.760 --> 00:46:59.599
more like traditional individual sports. You know we did have um a heroes of the

00:46:57.200 --> 00:47:02.160
dorm in the US where uh the larger colleges all enter college teams into

00:47:01.040 --> 00:47:07.440
this. So there was like a little bit of that but yeah so yeah interesting. Next

00:47:05.359 --> 00:47:13.119
up, we have the first Ryzenbased all-in-one, which is actually pretty

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

00:47:14.640 --> 00:47:21.319
pretty nice, actually. Uh Dell Inspiron

00:47:18.319 --> 00:47:21.319
27775

00:47:21.520 --> 00:47:26.480
AIO. It's an 8 core AMD Ryzen 7. Hey,

00:47:24.560 --> 00:47:30.880
six numbers in a row. All right. Great name. Pretty freaking nuts. Well, I get

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

00:47:33.680 --> 00:47:40.480
7775 AO or 7775, whatever you want to

00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:43.520
call it. Uh AMD Ryzen 7 chip, Radeon RX

00:47:40.480 --> 00:47:45.280
580, and a 4K LCD screen. And it looks

00:47:43.520 --> 00:47:50.960
pretty sharp. You could actually do some like pretty serious gaming on it with an

00:47:46.880 --> 00:47:52.720
RX 580. Yeah. Yeah. Um the the chassis

00:47:50.960 --> 00:47:56.880
very vaguely reminds me of the the Surface Studio from Microsoft, like a

00:47:55.040 --> 00:48:02.319
little bit, you know, like the way the mouse is, like the way the chassis is.

00:47:59.920 --> 00:48:09.040
Yeah. Yeah. some of the 7775.

00:48:06.000 --> 00:48:11.280
Uh, this is worded a little bit weirdly,

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

00:48:13.599 --> 00:48:19.040
in. Well, I couldn't tell if they were talking. Whoa, I just screwed

00:48:17.440 --> 00:48:25.359
everything. At first, the diabetes cure, now this. Okay, so despite being Yes.

00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:29.680
So, it's actually the Inspiron 277000

00:48:25.359 --> 00:48:32.480
series. The 7775 is a specific version.

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

00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:45.200
51400 with an RX 560 with 4 gigs of GDDDR5

00:48:41.040 --> 00:48:47.200
memory and then 180 W PSU. But if you

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.

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

00:48:55.920 --> 00:49:01.680
just mentioned, and then a Radeon RX 580

00:48:59.200 --> 00:49:07.440
with 8 gigs of GDDR5 and a 330 W power supply. And I believe

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

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

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

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,

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

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,

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

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

00:49:40.720 --> 00:49:47.760
a typo. Should be 1920 x 1080.

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

00:49:49.920 --> 00:49:56.720
USB connections, which is like a topic of much debate these days, I do see

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

00:49:59.119 --> 00:50:05.920
USB typeA, or sorry, they have three two

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

00:50:09.599 --> 00:50:15.599
type C, which is solid. Um, and then one

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

00:50:19.520 --> 00:50:24.720
actually a little disappointing. Um,

00:50:23.040 --> 00:50:31.440
like still seeing stuff showing up in 720p is H. Um, it's running Windows 10

00:50:28.880 --> 00:50:34.480
Home 64bit, which is about what you'd probably expect.

00:50:33.200 --> 00:50:39.760
It's kind of cool, though. It looks sharp. Um, I'm happy to see

00:50:38.240 --> 00:50:42.640
AMD getting their products and stuff like this. So, that's cool. Yeah, it

00:50:41.599 --> 00:50:47.040
also looks a little bit more elegant than some past gaming AIOs we've seen. I

00:50:44.720 --> 00:50:51.760
mean, granted, a lot of that is most is more the GPU manufacturers, but even so,

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

00:50:52.960 --> 00:50:58.240
gaming. It's not it's game on if you

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

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

00:51:05.760 --> 00:51:11.280
stuff like the uh com the Twitch chat

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.

00:51:14.079 --> 00:51:20.319
There we go. Okay, moving on. We're a

00:51:18.880 --> 00:51:24.960
little thin on topics. Are we talking about um

00:51:22.720 --> 00:51:27.760
uh the the facial recognition thing with the monkeys? So, we want to talk about

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

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

00:51:33.280 --> 00:51:40.400
get it on screen. So, uh, there's an article in the Guardian here about, uh,

00:51:38.800 --> 00:51:44.720
scientists discovering how the brain recogniz recognizes faces by reading the

00:51:42.960 --> 00:51:47.760
minds of monkeys. More specifically, analyzing their brain wave patterns.

00:51:46.400 --> 00:51:51.680
Yeah, it's a little different, but you know, and what they what they did was

00:51:50.160 --> 00:51:56.480
they they looked at their brain waves and decoded faces that the monkey like

00:51:54.559 --> 00:51:59.920
human faces that the monkeys remembered. And you might be able to see it on the

00:51:57.920 --> 00:52:05.040
screen capture here, but they were almost exactly the same as the subjects

00:52:02.720 --> 00:52:10.720
appeared in real life, which is both cool and a little bit unnerving. So, you

00:52:09.200 --> 00:52:16.160
know, you start wondering about, oh, well, things like, you know, reading

00:52:12.640 --> 00:52:17.599
minds and that and reading thoughts were

00:52:16.160 --> 00:52:21.359
once purely the realm of science fiction, but now you're starting to

00:52:20.079 --> 00:52:25.680
wonder, okay, you know, is this something that, you know, actually has

00:52:23.520 --> 00:52:29.599
has some some water to it? You know, some of them look like video game

00:52:27.520 --> 00:52:33.359
versions of the real people a little bit. Yeah. So, so the so the predicted

00:52:31.760 --> 00:52:37.200
faces are on the right and the actuals on on the left. Yeah, they're pretty

00:52:35.440 --> 00:52:40.079
close though. Actually, for this one, I thought the predicted face was the

00:52:38.559 --> 00:52:43.280
accurate one and the actual face was not. Isn't that weird? Cuz the actual

00:52:41.760 --> 00:52:46.880
face on this one actually looks lower resolution

00:52:44.800 --> 00:52:51.760
than the predicted face, which is kind of interesting.

00:52:49.440 --> 00:52:57.440
Yeah. So, you know, you have to wonder about, you know, is this does this mean

00:52:54.079 --> 00:52:59.040
that a person could end up one day with

00:52:57.440 --> 00:53:02.880
the correct equipment seeing, oh, what is a person thinking, but or who they're

00:53:01.280 --> 00:53:09.280
thinking about and what they're thinking about there. I think that they were also

00:53:05.440 --> 00:53:12.880
talking about um your brain encodes like

00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:14.640
faces a certain way and it does much

00:53:12.880 --> 00:53:18.480
kind of like a GPU would do like mathematical transformations to like if

00:53:17.119 --> 00:53:21.680
you're if there's a shape on your computer screen and it's like rotating

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

00:53:23.359 --> 00:53:29.920
else your GPU is doing mathematical transformations to it to figure out what

00:53:28.079 --> 00:53:34.880
it looks like. So it's the article was saying the brain works similarly where

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

00:53:36.880 --> 00:53:42.640
every possible angle your your brain can do these mathematical transformations.

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

00:53:44.240 --> 00:53:50.720
from an angle when they're walking away from you but you can still figure out

00:53:47.440 --> 00:53:52.160
who it is. So it's it seems like it's

00:53:50.720 --> 00:53:56.720
tapping more into that part of the brain. As far as reading like emotional

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.

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

00:54:06.240 --> 00:54:12.480
like think of your grandma. Here's how not to think about what you've been

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

00:54:13.760 --> 00:54:20.559
think of a pink elephant, you think of pink. So Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How to hide

00:54:18.720 --> 00:54:25.040
your porn version two mind readading edition.

00:54:23.040 --> 00:54:27.760
That'd be freaking awesome. I should make that video at some point in a

00:54:26.559 --> 00:54:31.599
thousand years. This might get litigated. Does this cover the right to

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

00:54:35.119 --> 00:54:39.920
knows? Who knows at this point? Who knows? They're allowed to record it.

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

00:54:43.599 --> 00:54:49.839
some lawyer making that argument like hundreds of years from now. So, yeah.

00:54:47.119 --> 00:54:55.440
Yeah, I don't know. But NVIDIA announces GPUs for thinner gaming laptops. So,

00:54:53.839 --> 00:55:00.240
they've got a few different things going on. Uh, now NVIDIA is looking to find

00:54:58.319 --> 00:55:05.920
the fastest and most power optimized performance level to allow laptops under

00:55:02.240 --> 00:55:07.280
20 millimeters thick and sport a GTX

00:55:05.920 --> 00:55:11.280
1080. Well, we're already getting pretty close, aren't we? Like with with the new

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

00:55:13.359 --> 00:55:19.280
are those? You know, I'm not sure on exact thickness for those, but he's

00:55:17.359 --> 00:55:23.440
showing pretty thin freaking laptops right here with his trademark leather

00:55:20.880 --> 00:55:26.760
jacket. Very good. With his freaking leather jacket.

00:55:27.760 --> 00:55:31.160
Max Q.

00:55:31.520 --> 00:55:39.440
It's cool. Thinner laptops is good. Whisper mode, blah blah blah blah blah.

00:55:36.640 --> 00:55:43.200
We're constantly getting ah see Forbes even.

00:55:40.960 --> 00:55:49.359
At least they say from the web, but like still, come on, guys.

00:55:45.920 --> 00:55:51.839
News websites that advertise articles

00:55:49.359 --> 00:55:56.079
for clickbait news is such a weird situation. It really, really is. cuz

00:55:54.400 --> 00:56:00.240
there's tons of people that really can't tell the difference.

00:55:58.000 --> 00:56:05.040
Super lame. Anyways, that's that's just a cool thing. NVIDIA's trying to do

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

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,

00:56:10.559 --> 00:56:19.839
they've probably already done it. Mhm. Um ASRock announces ITX boards for AMD

00:56:16.799 --> 00:56:22.799
Ryzen. That's super cool. Um, I've been

00:56:19.839 --> 00:56:29.920
kind of waiting for I expected it was going to happen faster than it has been,

00:56:24.240 --> 00:56:34.880
but I wanted MATX to get really popular.

00:56:29.920 --> 00:56:37.839
There is a serious serious lack of um

00:56:34.880 --> 00:56:41.680
really good looking microATX boards out there. And that's part of the problem.

00:56:39.280 --> 00:56:46.480
Yeah. But ITX boards too, like I I expected to see more of this stuff going

00:56:43.280 --> 00:56:48.079
on. I think with Fantex's new case, I

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

00:56:50.640 --> 00:56:55.520
of this competex, they have a new name for it. I think that might even help

00:56:53.839 --> 00:56:59.119
because Fentex cases are super popular and this thing's freaking beautiful.

00:56:57.359 --> 00:57:02.880
Yeah. I just want to talk about micro ATX for a second because because when

00:57:01.520 --> 00:57:07.599
you think about it, if you're an enthusiast, it has to be the most

00:57:05.200 --> 00:57:11.520
sensible form factor, you know, because because no one uses four-way SLI

00:57:09.760 --> 00:57:15.119
Crossfire anymore, but you get two slots usually micro ATX. So, if you want to

00:57:13.119 --> 00:57:18.559
expand, you can. You should get like a little bit more IO like but but most

00:57:17.040 --> 00:57:22.720
people are doing external DAXs, not internal sound cards anymore. Exactly.

00:57:20.319 --> 00:57:27.359
So you don't really need like but and even if you want like PCI Expressbased

00:57:25.440 --> 00:57:30.960
storage, most people are using M.2 Optains coming up so that you don't have

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

00:57:33.440 --> 00:57:38.799
this? Because ATX is overkill for most people with the amount of expandability

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

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

00:57:44.559 --> 00:57:51.200
amount of demand on the motherboard side. So, the cases aren't there yet

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

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.

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

00:58:01.520 --> 00:58:08.400
stuck situation, but I wish they'd get a little bit more popular. I hate stuck

00:58:06.000 --> 00:58:11.119
situations. Ducklet Schwag says, "I didn't realize John knew this much

00:58:10.000 --> 00:58:16.599
stuff." Yeah, I've had a nickel for every time I've heard that. Have you

00:58:13.359 --> 00:58:16.599
ever watched Techquiki?

00:58:18.000 --> 00:58:25.200
Techquikookie is is more or less unanimously written by John. It's it's

00:58:22.720 --> 00:58:29.280
essentially like it's my channel and it's not. I'm basically creative

00:58:27.119 --> 00:58:34.640
director for whatever it's worth, but tons of other people contribute to it,

00:58:30.559 --> 00:58:37.440
too. But yes, so but like especially on

00:58:34.640 --> 00:58:40.240
the writing side, like entirely, but especially on the writing side. I'm

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

00:58:42.480 --> 00:58:50.000
the writing side is basically the John show right now. So yeah, I think that's

00:58:47.359 --> 00:58:54.880
probably about it for the show today. Yeah. Do we

00:58:52.400 --> 00:58:59.359
do we need to make Taffy stretch or are we stretch like stretch like Well, you

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

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.

00:59:05.599 --> 00:59:13.040
