1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:06,480
Welcome to the WAN Show. I'm sorry you had to see what I was doing there right

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:10,559
before the show started, but you know, I mean, I'd hate to have that hanging over

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:13,679
me during the entire show, so it's better to get things out of the way.

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:19,199
Um, so we actually've got a pretty short

5
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:21,199
show for you today, guys. We've got uh

6
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:25,920
mandatory device kill switches potentially coming to California. So

7
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:30,560
that is to say that the owner, not the manufacturer,

8
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:35,840
I mean, oh, the potential for abuse is so there, but the owner of a device

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:40,320
could go, "Hey, that jerk mugged me. Well, I'll show him what for and just

10
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:43,280
turn the thing off." Or, uh, maybe you could disable certain functionality.

11
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,160
Right now, it's not like there's a standard that's completely ratified or

12
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:50,879
anything like that, but that could be coming. And as a consumer, I think that's a fantastic idea.

13
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:54,480
There's a standard for what it has to be able to do. Yes. And we'll talk about that when we

14
00:00:52,800 --> 00:01:00,320
do the actual topic. But right now, we're teasing them. Teasing. Sony is in

15
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:05,439
talks to sell off their Vio line in much the same way that IBM sold off their

16
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:11,360
ThinkPad business. So, we might see Vio notebooks in the future. Uh, but they

17
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:16,640
might take on a very different form if at all. So, stay tuned for that as well.

18
00:01:14,479 --> 00:01:19,680
More information from uh Bit Torrent Sync. Someone is actually making

19
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:25,840
something called SyncNet, which is essentially a a a way for you to access

20
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:28,479
web pages without them being um like

21
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:31,920
normal IP domains, but because it's all sourced through Bit Torrent Sync, so

22
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:36,960
we'll talk about that later. And Oculus Rink Rink.

23
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:40,000
Oculus Rift has its first launch title, which will be Eve Valkyrie, which has

24
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:45,600
been kind of thrown around at all the different trade shows lately and looks amazing. So, that was probably the

25
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:51,840
smartest move they could have possibly done. He's got hockey on the brain because Olympics, Oculus Rink, VR hockey

26
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:56,960
would be so awesome. It's uh they have every sport VR.

27
00:01:54,159 --> 00:01:59,360
There's like not AAA version already. People are working on it.

28
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,200
Oh, I'm so stoked. It's going to be awesome. Pretty epic. Have you seen the flight

29
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:06,880
one? Someone's like there's no echo. No, no, the echo usually comes when I switch to

30
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:11,680
my notebook as a source, but I have already disabled it this week. Sorry.

31
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:15,920
What' you say? Yes. Um uh yeah. No. Have Have you seen

32
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:21,200
the flight one? No. Flight simulation VR as like a bird.

33
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:25,040
You fly around. I did hear about that. Yeah. Yeah. You just like you just like fly around. It's

34
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,160
like so good. A so good. I'm so excited for stuff like

35
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:31,520
that. I'm so excited for like But then they need like a combat mod.

36
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:37,000
Well, yeah. Bird dog fighting and like hawks and like a bird MMO.

37
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:44,599
You don't get an epic mount. You are an epic mount. I know. I'm an epic mount.

38
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:13,920
So guys, our sponsor this week is Hotspot Shield. If you're looking for an

39
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:17,840
easy way to tune in to the Sochi Olympic Games, speaking of having Olympics and

40
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:23,840
hockey on the brain, and your country doesn't have great coverage, check out

41
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:26,720
the link there, bit.ly/hsshare.

42
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:32,000
You can get a free trial of their elite uh service, which will allow you to just

43
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:34,480
simply select uh UKIP, and boom, you

44
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,239
will have full access to UK's coverage of the Olympic Games, regardless of

45
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:42,319
where in the world you happen to be. And then if you do decide to sign up for an

46
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:48,159
elite membership in the long term, you can use offer code Linus to save 20% on

47
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:54,959
that. So I definitely recommend heading over and checking that out. So let's

48
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:57,680
jump into our first topic here. Um

49
00:03:54,959 --> 00:03:59,760
do outer net or sync net all the nets. You can decide which net you want to

50
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:05,439
talk about first. I want fish nets, but I'll settle for outer net. Let's go ahead and uh get

51
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:09,760
this bad boy fired up. All right. So, just before we even start

52
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,560
going in, I I found their uh it's it's about this, but before we start like

53
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:17,519
talking about how it actually works, why is my screen sharing not working? I went down to their like like support

54
00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:21,840
us donate area. They they support PayPal, Amazon

55
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:25,360
payments, direct payments through their website, Dogecoin, and Bitcoin.

56
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:31,040
Really? I was like, wow,

57
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:34,880
you guys spent a really long time on your like ability for people to support,

58
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:38,800
maybe spend more time building outer debt. Um, it's a really interesting

59
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:42,560
idea. They want to support it. Hopefully, Linus gets his laptop working at some point in time.

60
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:47,520
Yeah. In the meantime, go ahead. But they want it to work through hundreds of miniature satellites that

61
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:50,479
orbit around the Earth. And all these satellites would be constantly

62
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:54,800
broadcasting um like like Wi-Fi data essentially, but

63
00:04:53,040 --> 00:05:00,160
broadcasting it downwards. So, for the mass majority of people, this is going to be one-way communication. you'll be

64
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:05,680
receiving the information and they'll transfer stuff like uh news and

65
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:11,440
information, crop prices for farmers, Bitcoin blockchains, Ubuntu, Wikipedia

66
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:15,440
in its entirety, uh some music, movies and games, but that's not necessarily

67
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:20,479
the main focus, uh educational courseware, emergency communications,

68
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:24,000
and many other things. And this is uh mainly designed for people that don't

69
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:27,520
necessarily have access to the internet because the goal of this project is that

70
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:33,280
everyone should be able to be connected. Ow. Um two-way communicate communication

71
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:37,280
is only going to work for very specific uh users and very specific use cases. So

72
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:40,400
it's going to be more focused on say there's a big natural disaster and mo

73
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:45,039
most communication lines are down. You'll still be able to access out internet for two-way communication but

74
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:50,000
most people are not going to be able to. This will also extend to certain people

75
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:53,680
in in areas where some sort of regime regime not regime regime might be

76
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:58,400
restricting you from accessing the internet. Um Lionus feels

77
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:02,960
in its unfiltered in its unfiltered entirety. Speaking of unfiltered

78
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:06,479
entirety, um you know what? Oh, I do have one more idea. So go on if there's

79
00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:13,680
anything else you have to say. I mean really guys, okay, so to be clear, this is not internet for everyone. The outer

80
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:18,800
is not the same as the internet. The idea is it's more like um like the radio

81
00:06:16,479 --> 00:06:22,000
would have been um you know 60 years ago.

82
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:25,039
So they can push you information and and uh one thing that's cool that makes it

83
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:29,360
not like the radio actually is that users can help push uh what what is

84
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,400
priority on the internet at that point in time. So if something really big is

85
00:06:31,039 --> 00:06:37,919
going on like what's been going on in Ukraine um uh users could push that so

86
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:42,479
that it's on the outer internet. So you can push it through SMS or certain phone

87
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:46,160
apps so users kind of control what's on there. Obviously, Wikipedia in its

88
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:49,120
entirety is kind of a really important thing to be on something like the

89
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:53,280
internet because it's a massive source of information. Um, but more news and

90
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:57,520
that kind of stuff I think is going to be very userdriven. Um,

91
00:06:57,039 --> 00:07:02,080
yay. That's honestly about it. But it's

92
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:06,479
actually really interesting. My favorite thing is the like in case of disaster,

93
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:09,440
you will gain two-way communication. And something that they're thinking about a

94
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:13,680
long-term goal is that everyone will always have two-way communication, but

95
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:18,319
that is not a launch goal at all. That is a like, hey, maybe way the heck down

96
00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:23,759
the line, this can be supported because that would be awesome. Even one way is amazing. I mean,

97
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:28,880
something that has really baffled me is with everything going on in the Ukraine

98
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:30,240
right now, why is it that every headline

99
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,440
is about Justin Bieber? Yeah. Because I mean, and it's one of those

100
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:38,080
things where look guys, I'm not I'm not going to make this show about Justin Bieber. I've had a lot of people asking

101
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,720
me to talk about Justin Bieber for whatever reason. Um,

102
00:07:39,599 --> 00:07:44,880
I think it's cuz we're Canadians. I don't know anything about him. I don't really care.

103
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:48,160
I don't know what songs he sings. I don't know how old he is. I don't know

104
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:52,160
who he's dating. And I really don't care. And the thing about all this

105
00:07:50,479 --> 00:07:57,680
sensationalized uh celebrity gossip is that the harder

106
00:07:54,720 --> 00:08:01,919
you ignore it, the more it will actually disappear from your life. You won't even

107
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:06,800
notice it anymore if you just stop caring. And the outer I think would be a

108
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:12,479
fantastic way for people who don't care about Justin Bieber to hopefully

109
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,759
be able to tune in. Yeah. Hopefully.

110
00:08:12,479 --> 00:08:17,360
Although it could turn into another Twitter. It's userdriven. So,

111
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:20,160
but it's nerdy enough that I think it'll be users that aren't

112
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:25,360
Bieber. Yeah. Um but I mean, you know, like anything, it might turn into that eventually. But

113
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:30,080
I still I still believe that looking at looking at the technology in the way

114
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:32,080
that it is intended to be used um this

115
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:37,599
there's so much potential for it to be more like an unfiltered in terms of

116
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:42,399
censorship but filtered in terms of nonsense and garbage news source that

117
00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:47,040
people could really come to rely on. I mean, one of the problems with the

118
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:50,160
internet is that it relies on

119
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:53,279
groundbased communication hubs that can

120
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:55,120
be located within areas that restrict

121
00:08:53,279 --> 00:08:58,320
their citizens from having access to information. And that's what the

122
00:08:56,399 --> 00:09:02,880
internet was intended to be used for. Unrestricted access to information for

123
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:07,120
everyone and the ability to contribute to that information that everyone has

124
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:11,440
access to. outeret might not allow everyone to contribute immediately but

125
00:09:08,959 --> 00:09:16,480
it will give everyone access to it which is um quite frankly

126
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:22,560
amazing. I mean it's it's if they achieve this then I mean this is

127
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:24,240
to me that it's a step that's as big as

128
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:28,160
the internet was in the first place from my perspective from a from a human

129
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:33,040
rights and equality perspective because because people uh say people in

130
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:37,680
the Ukraine that's where that short-term two-way communication could be dropped

131
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:40,000
in is you could get help while you're in the Ukraine if something's going on if

132
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:44,959
you're somewhere else if there's a natural disaster like I don't think it's necessarily only natural disasters

133
00:09:43,839 --> 00:09:47,920
because right when the Ukraine same thing started going on. There was all those live streams, right?

134
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:53,519
Mhm. And you could actually fairly easily figure out what was going on. I don't

135
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:59,120
necessarily know what happened, but I'm not getting as much information out of there as I was before.

136
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:03,760
And now I'm not hunting for it super actively every day. But it would be nice

137
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:08,800
if there was a stream of information that I could just go to easily all the

138
00:10:06,399 --> 00:10:12,720
time and get updates because for me so far, it's been honestly a lot of manual

139
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:16,000
hunting just to figure out what the heck's going on. And it shouldn't be. I

140
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:19,920
mean, it doesn't make sense. It's such a big deal. It is compared to Bieber

141
00:10:17,839 --> 00:10:21,600
and everyone's focusing on I can't even remember what the most recent thing is.

142
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:26,959
Olympics, but well, I wish it was the Olympics. Do you?

143
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:31,760
Instead of Well, instead of Bieber. Well, okay. Yeah, Olympics greater than

144
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:36,800
Bieber less important than almost anything else. I mean, don't don't get

145
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:38,720
me wrong, national pride is great and

146
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:42,880
the spirit of sport and people cooperating and competing, it's all

147
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:47,600
great. I just don't think the Olympics is as big of a deal as,

148
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:52,399
you know, giant super important things. Yeah. Like what's going on in the Ukraine

149
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:55,760
like like super important things. I think Coca-Cola should find some other

150
00:10:54,320 --> 00:11:01,760
way to get their message out there. I don't even know if Coke is I know Samsung is a sponsor of the Olympics.

151
00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:03,920
You hear about Samsung um because

152
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:08,720
they're a sponsor of the Olympics. Any athletes that are using non Samsung

153
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:12,720
devices have to cover their logos. It might have been specifically Apple, but

154
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:16,240
uh but yeah, they they like during the ceremonies and stuff, they have to like

155
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:20,120
cover up the logos on their device. I'm just sitting here going, it's like,

156
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:25,360
okay, that's brutal. There's a lot of comments about my

157
00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:29,200
sunglasses. Well, it happened to be sunny out today

158
00:11:27,839 --> 00:11:35,519
and so you should wear them for the entire had my sunglasses on and because

159
00:11:32,959 --> 00:11:39,040
I would rather put them on my head than hang them around my neck with a strap,

160
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:43,920
which are the two options if they're not on your eyes, I went and I put them on

161
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:46,880
my head when I came in. But because you guys want to uh talk about the

162
00:11:45,279 --> 00:11:53,040
sunglasses, I'll give you something to talk about. I'm wearing them for the rest of the stream. So there you go.

163
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:58,959
All right. So the next topic is actually another net that is

164
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:02,800
exciting and terrifying at the same time. This one doesn't feel This was

165
00:12:00,959 --> 00:12:07,040
posted by Oh, shoot. Our last topic was posted on the forum by Sorry. I

166
00:12:04,959 --> 00:12:10,079
sometimes forget to do these calls for you guys

167
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:14,079
by is it Sean the by I said showing the dock.

168
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:18,079
Altis Altis.

169
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:23,120
If people want me to be able to pronounce their names on the stream, they need to have names that I can

170
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:29,600
pronounce. So that's all I have to say about that. Anyway, the next one's from

171
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:31,920
Top War Gamer. So this is SyncNet.

172
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:35,279
Syncnet. SyncNet is interesting. My favorite thing is like one of the first

173
00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:40,560
quotes you see when looking for this thing at all is SyncNet is experimental.

174
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:44,079
No security auditing has been done. Only use it if you know what you're doing,

175
00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:48,320
which is insane. Which basically means don't use it.

176
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:51,040
Don't. I mean the way Okay, so the way that it works if you guys aren't

177
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:54,959
familiar with Bit Torrent sync why don't I do the Bit Torrent sync rundown and

178
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:59,440
then you can do the um the how it relates to this rundown.

179
00:12:56,560 --> 00:13:05,760
Okay, so Bit Torrent sync is actually magical. It's it's one of the easiest

180
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:08,480
ways to share files um with yourself

181
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:11,920
remotely or with other people in a in a secure and private manner. So, Bit

182
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:17,279
Torrent Sync is an application that you install on any PC with storage or any

183
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:23,279
device. It actually works on iOS and Android phones as well. And uh what it

184
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:26,480
does is it actually allows you to create

185
00:13:23,279 --> 00:13:28,480
shared folders that use a 33 character

186
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:32,800
secret, which is just another way of saying password or whatever. Anyway,

187
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:38,320
they call it a secret. A 33 character secret to determine who has access to

188
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:41,600
it. So, what you can do is you can create this folder, create a secret,

189
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,160
enter the secret on your phone, which is as simple as scanning a QR code when

190
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:50,800
you're sitting in front of that computer, and then you'll have access to those files on the fly. Between phones,

191
00:13:48,959 --> 00:13:55,600
it's also amazing. So, you can use Bit Torrent Sync to send files between

192
00:13:52,959 --> 00:13:58,880
phones using a local Wi-Fi or data or whatever it is that you want to do

193
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:03,839
simply by sharing a secret or scanning a QR code with each other. It's faster

194
00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:08,079
than almost anything else out there. And unlike um things like Samsung's

195
00:14:06,399 --> 00:14:12,000
proprietary technology where they want you to put the phones together and then

196
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:16,800
it'll transfer. It's like but only if your friends all use Samsung. No, come

197
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:21,839
on. Uh it is completely not locked down to any particular platform. So uh Bit

198
00:14:19,199 --> 00:14:27,040
Torrent Sync is awesome. And one of the other things that it does is the more uh

199
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:31,920
the more shared folders there are distributed on devices all over the

200
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:37,839
place um the faster you can get access to it. So, if I had my photo library,

201
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:41,360
um, say I had it on Bit Torrent sync here at the office, I had it on Bit

202
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:45,920
Torrent sync at my house, and I had it on Bit Torrent sync at my parents house.

203
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:51,360
If I wanted to grab one of those photos on my phone, I would get the cumulative

204
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:57,760
upload speed of those three locations. So, I've created a private cloud all

205
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:59,360
pushing to me at the same time, which is

206
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:03,040
awesome because if you get together with some friends and you create Bit Torrent

207
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:07,839
sync shares, you have to trust your friends. It has to be, you know, not private data, just to be clear. I'm not

208
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:10,639
suggesting this, but if you bit torrent sync each other's stuff, you can take

209
00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:14,959
advantage of your own private internet, which leads

210
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:19,760
into or your own private cloud storage, which leads into a new concept. So, how

211
00:15:17,519 --> 00:15:23,680
this works is what you're doing is instead of transferring just random

212
00:15:21,279 --> 00:15:29,279
files, you're transferring somewhat specifically tuned HTML files and then

213
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:32,320
uh there's a specific browser that's going to be made that can access that.

214
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:37,680
So, what you're doing is instead of going to a URL, you're typing in this

215
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:42,079
secret into the URL bar and then that instead of going to sorry, an IP is just

216
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:45,199
going to a folder. So, when you go there, you download it.

217
00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:49,120
You download the entire website. entire website which is a security hole

218
00:15:47,519 --> 00:15:54,079
and then you become a node. It's one big hole. That's all it is is a

219
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:58,399
hole. Like it's not secure at all. No. And then and then you become a node.

220
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:03,279
So it actually essentially if if someone has a massive website on here, it

221
00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:05,920
becomes easier for them to host it as time goes on because more and more

222
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:11,040
people will access it. Then they all become nodes. So instead of bandwidth cost going up, they either stay the same

223
00:16:09,519 --> 00:16:14,000
or go down. Um, now it wouldn't work for content like a

224
00:16:12,959 --> 00:16:17,839
forum because you can't download the entire

225
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:23,440
Linus techtips.com forum. Well, you could, but you get a singular snapshot and it's

226
00:16:21,839 --> 00:16:26,720
not going to update very well. Like, you can update it because it's Bit Torren in

227
00:16:25,199 --> 00:16:29,680
sync. So, as changes happens, it can be synced out, but something like a form

228
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:34,000
where it's moving that quickly is not really going to work very well. Um,

229
00:16:31,279 --> 00:16:38,320
something like uh a chat box is not going to work. Um, something like a news

230
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:41,600
site or a blog would actually work really well or just anything static in

231
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,560
general is going to work fairly well. And then if you have updates like once a

232
00:16:43,279 --> 00:16:47,680
day or something like that, that's not going to be that hard to sync out to

233
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:52,639
everyone because it's a synchronization folder. It you can just get an update

234
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:54,720
while it's sitting there. Um, as he

235
00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:58,320
said, you can make a secret key. What you can also do is actually make what's

236
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:02,639
called a read key, which is a read only key. So people can't if if they tamper

237
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:08,319
with your files, it won't be streamed back out under that key, which is

238
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:11,600
interesting and a good idea. You're still harboring a whole bunch of files

239
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:15,360
from some random dude. Yeah. And those files that are on your

240
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:22,839
computer can be updated just like that at any

241
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,839
time by that dude. So if someone

242
00:17:27,839 --> 00:17:33,919
say that they don't get possessed by a demon and decide to do something evil

243
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:38,880
and completely take over your computer steals their secret, but let's say someone steals their

244
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:42,320
secret, breaks into their house. Okay, figure we're talking realistic stuff

245
00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:47,039
here. Someone break figures out who they are, breaks into their house, sits at

246
00:17:44,799 --> 00:17:53,200
their computer and updates the website and does whatever they want because they

247
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:57,200
have all this data stored on your PC that is just going to sync itself to you

248
00:17:54,880 --> 00:18:02,640
and then next time you access it, it can do probably whatever it wants. There's

249
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:06,880
now there there are ways that they could figure out how

250
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:09,840
to advance this and possibly put security in place and all that other

251
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:14,000
kind of stuff, but it's sketchy as all hell right now. So, be careful if you

252
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:17,360
want to go test this. Um, I think that we should probably go as

253
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:21,679
far as to say don't test this. Probably let's do that. Don't test it.

254
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:25,120
But here you go. This is what it is. Uh, it's it's really interesting anyways

255
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:29,919
because in the future, like I said, certain security things can come in hand. maybe only certain file types can

256
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:32,960
be transferred over this system, blah blah blah blah blah. Uh certain things

257
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:40,080
aren't going to be supported. It'll probably be very raw, a lot of textbased sites, stuff like that. Um which which

258
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:44,720
is interesting enough, but we'll see where that goes. There there's ideas for

259
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:48,400
things like colored coins and name coins being brought in so that you can have

260
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:53,919
more easily accessible things like actual domain names going to uh secrets

261
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:59,760
because right now it's sync colon slash and then a 33 character secret which is

262
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:01,679
uh a little bit crazy. Um so hopefully

263
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:04,880
that gets easier at some point. Namecoin can al also make it so you can easily

264
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:11,840
look up who's running a website instead of just this random secret key. Um, so

265
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:17,039
yeah, I don't know. It's freaky and scary and possibly amazing and possibly

266
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:23,280
one of the scariest things on the internet. All at the same time, it's going to enable things like um certain

267
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:27,679
groups that could otherwise be oppressed to be able to get information out there.

268
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:31,200
It's also going to enable things like really, really, really, really creepy

269
00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:36,640
people on the internet having stories of images and websites and stuff like that

270
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:38,000
being really hard to take down. So yeah,

271
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,760
we always have to look at the bad side, but then there's also the good side.

272
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,320
It's like the force, basically. It's like those Jedi we saw fighting in the

273
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,360
park the other day. Yeah. Awesome little Jedi.

274
00:19:46,799 --> 00:19:52,640
I know. Um, baby Jedi. There's ideas in the future for

275
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:56,640
converters of sorts. You can convert a website uh like just a standard website

276
00:19:54,880 --> 00:20:00,960
into something that can work on this this SyncNet thing. Um, and there's

277
00:19:59,120 --> 00:20:04,240
ideas for maybe Firefox and Chrome plugins, so you don't actually have to

278
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:07,200
have a dedicated browser for it, and you could just type into the URL bar or

279
00:20:05,919 --> 00:20:12,720
something else, whatever the plugin works, and then Firefox and Chrome could

280
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:14,080
interpret that. By the time my son is in

281
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:19,280
high school, the internet as we know it could be a

282
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:23,600
marginalized part of the internet because there's going to be pirate bays

283
00:20:21,039 --> 00:20:26,640
internet. There's going to be syncnet internet. There's going to be

284
00:20:24,559 --> 00:20:30,720
potentially outer net. Some of which will provide services that are actually

285
00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:32,960
more important than what the internet does today.

286
00:20:32,159 --> 00:20:38,400
Isn't that amazing? Especially because the internet is being like it's losing net neutral net

287
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:42,640
neutrality. It's being way more commercialized every single freaking

288
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:45,360
Was Verizon throttling was Netflix, right?

289
00:20:43,679 --> 00:20:48,720
Yeah, I think so. But then they're denying it, I think. Yeah, they can deny they can deny

290
00:20:47,919 --> 00:20:52,159
whatever they want, but they were denying it. Yeah. Yeah. So, allegedly.

291
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:57,760
Allegedly. As long as you say allegedly, then nothing really matters. It's like that

292
00:20:55,360 --> 00:21:02,320
NBC story. It's like the phone was hacked while I was in Sochi. It's like

293
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:05,120
no, you were in Moscow and it was hacked because you did something stupid, not

294
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,320
because someone there was actually attacking you. You're an idiot. Um,

295
00:21:07,360 --> 00:21:14,480
allegedly an idiot. Allegedly an idiot. We don't want any lawsuits here.

296
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:18,080
None at all. I Yeah, I don't know. That whole thing is so stupid. He just went

297
00:21:16,559 --> 00:21:23,600
to some site and clicked on something that he shouldn't have. And then was like, oh my god, people are hacking

298
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:28,320
people in Sochi and it's like, what? Oh. Oh god. Anyways,

299
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:30,960
I mean, there are problems in Sochi, but that just isn't one of them.

300
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:34,880
Or it might be, but it didn't happen to him. It was this completely different

301
00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:41,039
thing that happened to him. All right. So, uh, next, this is unbelievable. So,

302
00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:45,760
um, believe it or Okay, believe it or not, this unbelievable thing is not

303
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:49,600
being reported on by us because we happen to be a Twitch partner and we're

304
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:52,720
streaming on twitch.tv right now. I think they don't call it twitch.tv. I

305
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,679
think that's an old people thing. Twitch.tv saying dot.

306
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,960
Really? I think so. Yeah. Guys, let let us know.

307
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:03,600
Let us know. What would you say? Twitter. Twitch TV.

308
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:07,760
I think it's an old people thing to say the dot in a website.

309
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:11,840
So you'd be like Facebook com. No, that's just Facebook. Like I don't

310
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:15,440
think you say dot like you never say the ending.

311
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:18,240
Yeah, I don't I don't think so. But maybe I'm mistaken.

312
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:23,039
But I don't say facebook.com. I say Facebook. I read something really interesting. Um

313
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:25,760
apparently, you know what? I don't know if I put it in the doc or not. Let me

314
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:30,320
let me check. Okay, don't worry. We're going to get to this in a moment. I say twitchtv.tv when I'm referencing

315
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:36,799
the company. I say Twitch when I'm referencing the website. Okay, this is sort of unrelated. Oh,

316
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:42,799
bollocks. Where did it go? Okay, I saw an interesting article. Um, it was like

317
00:22:39,919 --> 00:22:51,679
a linguistics article about the way that the period is changing in meaning to

318
00:22:46,559 --> 00:22:54,480
mean um irony or anger because so many

319
00:22:51,679 --> 00:23:01,679
sentences in text message communication and without periods. And I have at times

320
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:06,960
been called a grammar Nazi. And yet I find myself very often not using a

321
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:11,039
period. Question marks, exclamation marks are much more likely to be used

322
00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:15,760
when appropriate. And I think it was even commas, but don't quote me on that

323
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:19,919
part. But the period was much less likely to be used. I think it was

324
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,960
something like 30 to 40% of the

325
00:23:19,919 --> 00:23:25,440
situations where it would be appropriate, a period was being used.

326
00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:28,960
Uh, I see I see on forums and stuff I see it much more commonly properly used,

327
00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:32,640
but if I'm doing instant communication like like Steam chat or something like

328
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,480
that or if I'm doing text messages, if someone uses a period, I'm usually like,

329
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:40,400
whoa. And that's exactly it. Online communication, I think, was something

330
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:44,559
like 10 to 15% more likely for people to use a period. And then text messages

331
00:23:42,159 --> 00:23:50,159
were the worst. And it stems from things like 160 character or 140 character

332
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:55,520
limits on SMS and Twitter. But um the the reason the article was written was

333
00:23:51,919 --> 00:23:57,039
because uh a textbook writer's son was

334
00:23:55,520 --> 00:24:00,799
reading the textbook, I guess, you know, proofreading exercise. Got to leverage

335
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:06,000
that free labor when you can uh before they move out and was like, "It it seems

336
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:10,159
like you're angry and the way it's written." And then the example given in

337
00:24:08,159 --> 00:24:13,840
the article was like like a it was like a text message screenshot that was like,

338
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:16,880
"Are you mad?" And then it said, "No, period." What does that mean?

339
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:22,400
That means yes. Right? Because when I was reading the

340
00:24:19,279 --> 00:24:25,120
article, I was like, "No."

341
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:30,559
And then I saw that example and they're like, "Are you sure?" No. Period.

342
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:33,600
Absolutely. That means yes. When did this happen?

343
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:37,840
I think that's been going on for a really long time. I don't think that's very new.

344
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:41,600
No, it's not new. But why didn't I notice? I'm old.

345
00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:44,799
You are old cuz I noticed and everyone else noticed.

346
00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:49,360
Why you remind me of these things? Why do I ask you these things?

347
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:54,000
Someone says, "Dots's not an old thing." I either say Twitch or twitch.tv or

348
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:59,520
lines techtips.com. Um, the septagon is digging the shades.

349
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:05,279
Thank you. These were these are the most expensive I think these are the most

350
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,720
expensive piece of apparel I own.

351
00:25:05,279 --> 00:25:12,640
They're Oakley's maybe. Yeah. Yeah. Because I uh like I always used to

352
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:17,279
lose sunglasses. So what I did was like I really wanted some nice sunglasses and

353
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:21,440
I and my wife believe it or not was basically like look we'll get you cheap

354
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:25,440
sunglasses and if you cannot lose them or break

355
00:25:23,279 --> 00:25:30,799
them for about whatever period of time she gave me then you can buy whichever

356
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:32,480
ones you want. And I was like okay. She

357
00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:36,159
really does have to manage me that way. It's sort of sad. Um but I made it

358
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:39,600
through the trial period. So I got myself some nice some nice Oakleys and

359
00:25:38,159 --> 00:25:41,440
I've taken extremely good care of them. You've had those as long as I've known

360
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,600
you. They don't have any scratches on them pretty much whatsoever. I keep them in

361
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:49,039
their case, but um I I digress.

362
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:54,000
All right, we should do a Twitter blitz on the period thing and we should move on to the Twitch thing.

363
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:57,120
Yes, I do want to move on to the Twitch thing. Uh please inform everyone about

364
00:25:55,600 --> 00:26:00,720
the World Cancer Day folding week. Yes, World Cancer Day folding week. Only two

365
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:04,240
days left. Better than nothing. Uh there's more information in the line of

366
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:08,080
tech tips folding at home forum section. Do you think NVIDIA will come out with a

367
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:12,799
GTX 7? I got no idea, man. Uh, I don't want to speculate on cards that uh that

368
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:17,760
aren't out yet. Where did I get my Domo plush? Uh, it was on Amazon. Bummer

369
00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:21,679
about Austin Evans's pad and burning up. Yes, it was. Although there should be

370
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:25,440
some news about something to do with that tomorrow. Uh, do you think the

371
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:31,279
concept of transcendence is possible? By the way,

372
00:26:28,559 --> 00:26:36,640
love the show. Constantinos

373
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:38,400
C. Do I think the concept of

374
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:43,360
transcendence is possible? It depends what you mean. I think

375
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:45,600
I think a genre can be transcended.

376
00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:49,440
I think a state of consciousness can be transcended.

377
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,200
Would you disagree with that? Depending on what state you're in in the first

378
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:56,640
place? Yeah, I'm going to say that that really I think there's a top level. You know, I

379
00:26:55,039 --> 00:26:59,919
think if you spend your life in a drunken stuper, you can transcend that.

380
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:07,600
Yeah. But I don't think if you're in a coma, would coming out of the coma be transcending? a mental state

381
00:27:05,360 --> 00:27:09,760
potentially. Okay, you know what? I don't want to get into this.

382
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:13,679
We're defining it way too much. Michael says Terminator. Thank you,

383
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:17,440
Michael, for bringing us back on topic. All right, so let's

384
00:27:15,919 --> 00:27:20,000
Terminator. Yeah, I think he's talking about your

385
00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:29,360
glasses. Oh, that makes more sense. Yeah. All right, so Twitch TV is fourth in US

386
00:27:26,159 --> 00:27:32,960
peak traffic as of the uh I think it was

387
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:34,640
a week ago. What?

388
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:40,240
You have got to be kidding me. The companies only existed for three years

389
00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:42,640
now. Okay. I think the stat is a little

390
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:48,559
bit deceptive. And I will explain why. Okay? Because one of the things about Twitch

391
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:55,200
TV is the inefficiency of their broadcasting. They do not

392
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:58,480
transcode their broadcasts prior to

393
00:27:55,200 --> 00:28:01,520
broadcasting them. So that's why when we

394
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:03,360
cranked our bit rate up to 8500 kilobit

395
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:09,200
per second basically no one could watch the stream

396
00:28:06,559 --> 00:28:14,960
which we didn't really realize because I assumed that they were that they were

397
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:18,799
able to more easily transcode on the fly but what they can transcode on the fly

398
00:28:17,039 --> 00:28:25,679
and that's how people can watch a 1080p stream at 720p. But when you feed them a

399
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:27,039
huge file, like a massive bit rate file,

400
00:28:25,679 --> 00:28:33,279
they have a lot more difficult time with it. They're not able to do that much with it because even with their one

401
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:36,320
minute delay, that's not a ton of time.

402
00:28:33,279 --> 00:28:39,200
And I remember talking to their COO uh

403
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:43,600
back at PAX uh where he was just basically saying he's like, "Yeah, look,

404
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:49,520
one of the reasons that we need so much bandwidth is that a lot of the content

405
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:52,720
is going out in pretty much the form that people are broadcasting it in. So

406
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:57,919
when you watch something in original quality on Twitch TV, you are getting

407
00:28:55,600 --> 00:29:02,880
original quality if both of the network connections and Twitch at the time can

408
00:29:00,159 --> 00:29:06,799
handle it, which is insane. When you select original on YouTube, even for

409
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:11,679
something like 4K content, you are getting a seriously downsampled piece of

410
00:29:09,919 --> 00:29:17,120
content. In fact, a great example of that is uh look at that. I still have

411
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:20,240
the tweet up. Um Marcus Brownley, MKBHD,

412
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:22,159
is actually um I don't want to use the

413
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:27,279
word bitching, but it seems appropriate here. Is complaining about the

414
00:29:24,799 --> 00:29:31,840
compression on YouTube. Yeah, it's not can't zoom for some reason. is

415
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:36,640
complaining about compression on YouTube changing even the colors in his videos

416
00:29:34,559 --> 00:29:41,520
to the point where his shirt goes from looking vibrant and orange to looking

417
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:46,320
kind of dull and red. And so that is what you're getting on other platforms

418
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:48,399
whereas Twitch is pretty much giving you what

419
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:54,799
exactly what it is. Yeah. So while their bandwidth use is

420
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:58,720
through the roof, I don't necessarily think that gaming is more popular than

421
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:02,240
Hulu. necessarily, right? Because Hulu is going to be

422
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,919
much more efficient. Yeah. As is Netflix, as is YouTube.

423
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:12,399
It still shows growth. It still shows So maybe maybe like bandwidth isn't the

424
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:16,399
best way of measuring this while your computer crashes, but um it still does

425
00:30:15,039 --> 00:30:20,799
show growth. So there's some actually really interesting stats. Uh the three

426
00:30:18,559 --> 00:30:25,039
most watched games in 2013 were League of Legends, Dota 2, and Starcraft 2,

427
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:28,399
which is all not surprising whatsoever. League of Legends viewing has gone up

428
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:32,080
258% since 2012, which is insane. But even

429
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:39,120
more insane, I guess, because it's newer, is Dota 2 viewing has gone up 58%

430
00:30:36,399 --> 00:30:43,120
since 2012. Um, they're they're saying that when people look back in the

431
00:30:41,279 --> 00:30:46,880
future, they will see 2013 as the tipping point for streaming. And I don't

432
00:30:45,279 --> 00:30:50,640
see that surprising at all. Basically, everyone I know now has a Netflix

433
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:53,679
account and is streaming movies. And basically everyone I know that's into

434
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:57,600
gaming has watched some sort of Twitch stream at some point in time, even if

435
00:30:55,520 --> 00:31:02,159
that was just for a gaming competition. Um, and then I do know a few people that

436
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:05,360
just watch Twitch streams almost 24/7, which is pretty insane as well,

437
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:10,240
which is another thing that I actually think is probably a little bit deceptive

438
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:13,520
about these numbers. Uh, because I think

439
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:15,520
that compared to a service like Netflix

440
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:18,399
where if someone starts streaming in Netflix, they're going to sit and watch,

441
00:31:16,799 --> 00:31:24,000
they're very likely to be actually in front of that screen. Um, you look at at

442
00:31:21,039 --> 00:31:28,640
the way that game streaming works, people aren't a lot of the time watching

443
00:31:26,799 --> 00:31:33,760
the game. This is this is a radio broadcast and watching the game is

444
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:37,600
often, yeah, it's entertaining and it's there, but you might actually have it

445
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:40,320
minimized or you might actually have it tucked away on a secondary monitor.

446
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:44,559
Tab in and out every once in a while. Tab in and out. You got it running on your tablet next to your computer and a

447
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:51,360
lot of the time you're not you're not giving it your undivided attention. So, Twitch is a big deal. gaming is a big

448
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:55,760
deal. I just don't think that um you know com you know comparing it to some

449
00:31:54,159 --> 00:31:59,440
of these other things I don't think that it's one of what YouTube or

450
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:03,200
of what you do. Yeah. And I don't think it's it's a 12th of

451
00:32:02,399 --> 00:32:09,120
YouTube either because it is pushing that much. Well, that the the Google thing

452
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:13,519
the bandwidth. Oh, okay. That's true. Yeah. So, I don't think it's even one 12th of

453
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:18,080
YouTube. Never mind being whatever proportion of that is actually YouTube.

454
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:23,360
Um so, yeah. So, yeah. Anyways, uh the average age of users is 21 years old,

455
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:24,320
although I seriously doubt that. Just

456
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:30,399
putting that out there. I mean, it's one of those things where I can't tell people what to do, but I had

457
00:32:27,679 --> 00:32:33,919
someone um ask about registering on our forum. Um they said that they put in

458
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:39,679
their birthday and the forum said they couldn't join because they weren't 13.

459
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:43,919
Um, I suspect that a lot of people um

460
00:32:39,679 --> 00:32:46,320
circumvent that in a way that um is is

461
00:32:43,919 --> 00:32:52,000
pretty evident if you look at Steam's stats for how many of their users are

462
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:53,200
born on January the 1st.

463
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:59,200
Last time we brought that up, someone was like, "But I'm actually born on January the 1st." Like, oh wow, that's

464
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,919
actually surprising. Most people that say they're born on January the first

465
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:06,000
really were not. 93%

466
00:33:04,559 --> 00:33:09,679
This is old news. This is from like 2011, so it might have changed now. But

467
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,760
the point is that people don't fill out their their birthdays correctly when

468
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:17,440
they I'm going to be 100% honest. When I go fill out a birthday, it's too I'm too

469
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:22,159
lazy to actually put in the accurate one. Like I'm always old enough for everything, but I just click on the drop

470
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:24,480
down spin and then click on something. I actually do it really.

471
00:33:23,519 --> 00:33:28,480
I enter my birthday. I never do. I know. No, I it's it's a weird like OCD

472
00:33:28,159 --> 00:33:32,880
thing. I do for things that I'm like, "Oh crap, I'm really worried about recovering this

473
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:36,159
account at some point in time and they might ask me how old I am." M.

474
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:39,360
So I do for that kind of stuff, but a lot of the time on Steam, it's actually nothing to do with your

475
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:43,440
account. You might even be signed in, which is ridiculous. Which is ridiculous.

476
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:48,880
Yeah. Except if they have family sharing enabled.

477
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,960
So like in the future, this might I know. I know.

478
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:56,399
I've always been like, "What the hell? I'm logged in." And then when you accidentally just click next and its

479
00:33:53,919 --> 00:34:00,399
default is not old enough and you just get locked out for like a day.

480
00:33:59,519 --> 00:34:07,760
Like come on. Like please stop. Um some other interesting stats. So 68%

481
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:12,639
of Twitch users have decreased their TV watching in order to watch more Twitch.

482
00:34:09,919 --> 00:34:18,560
58% of their 45 million monthly unique visitors watch more than 20 hours per

483
00:34:15,919 --> 00:34:20,800
week. And again, I think this is a stat that might be a little deceptive because

484
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:26,800
idling and whatnot. It's easy to leave a Twitch stream on while you're sleeping. In fact, uh we

485
00:34:24,079 --> 00:34:32,159
had uh we had a problem back somewhere I used to live where one of the tenants

486
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:37,919
would just leave Twitch streams on all night and we had some bandwidth usage

487
00:34:35,359 --> 00:34:43,440
problems that our ISP was pretty annoyed about because even streaming like you

488
00:34:40,720 --> 00:34:48,879
know hours on Twitch like not an entire day on Twitch you can use like 15 20

489
00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:51,200
gigs like no problem in a day and uh you

490
00:34:48,879 --> 00:34:55,919
know that that full quality streaming. So that uh that's that's just something

491
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,599
you know that I think is you know we have to temper our enthusiasm a little

492
00:34:57,359 --> 00:35:02,800
bit. No, I know like it's still huge but it's still massive.

493
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:07,599
Yeah. So that that comes out to Twitch users running an average of 106 minutes

494
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:12,320
of content per day and 12 billion minutes every month. Not each user but

495
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:15,920
in total 12 billion minutes every month which is

496
00:35:14,079 --> 00:35:20,480
how many lives is that? Does someone want to do the math and maybe tweet me

497
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:24,079
with how many lives that is per month that are basically sacrificed to the

498
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:27,520
Twitch gods? You know, I was I was wonder how many lives have been

499
00:35:26,079 --> 00:35:30,400
sacrificed to the Linus. I was just going to tell you um I I

500
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:33,839
looked at it the other day. That's what made me think of this. Actually, this

501
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:38,240
made me think of that and I went and looked at our number. So, every day I

502
00:35:36,079 --> 00:35:44,480
think about a year and a half gets sacrificed to the Linus Tech Tips gods.

503
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:45,599
Um in terms of minutes watched. So, has

504
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:50,240
that been a life yet? Oh, more. Oh, yeah. Every day, a year

505
00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:54,800
and a half. So, that means in a year about Oh, wow.

506
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:56,240
Yeah. 500 years or so get sacrificed to

507
00:35:54,800 --> 00:36:00,079
the Linus Tech Tips gods. Oh, wow. Isn't that crazy?

508
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,720
That is pretty crazy actually. Yeah. I mean, you spread it out among

509
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:07,359
enough people. Increase that number. We have to increase that number. We need to commit our genocide.

510
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:11,280
Our genocide. Our based genocide.

511
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:18,160
So there's about 900,000 broadcasters

512
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:20,240
per month. 5,100 of those are partnered.

513
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:24,160
So a mass proportion of the broadcasters are not actually partnered. And there

514
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:28,480
are about 6 million total videos broadcast per month, which is pretty

515
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:31,599
crazy. An interesting statistic would I didn't think about doing this would be

516
00:36:29,599 --> 00:36:35,520
to split down like how many broadcasts there are versus um how many

517
00:36:33,359 --> 00:36:38,960
broadcasters versus how many videos and how many videos versus how many minutes.

518
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:42,160
So, like how long is the average broadcast seen for?

519
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:46,720
Right. Be pretty interesting.

520
00:36:44,720 --> 00:36:53,359
All right. No one no one has done the math yet on our bill. Oh, okay. There we

521
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:56,480
go. About 325 lives, says Mitch. Oops,

522
00:36:53,359 --> 00:36:58,000
wrong one. So, uh, yeah. Yeah.

523
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:01,359
Yoinkerman's like, "Yep, I always fall asleep to Twitch." So, that's a thing

524
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:06,000
that I just think is less likely to happen with a service like Netflix.

525
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:09,599
Yeah. Um, if they all stop at the end of the movie anyways, wouldn't it?

526
00:37:08,079 --> 00:37:12,800
Depends. If you're watching a show, it'll keep it'll keep running. Like,

527
00:37:11,119 --> 00:37:15,520
I've fallen asleep to net. I'm sure that's happened at least, but

528
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:19,520
not nearly as much. Yeah, I think it seems less likely. And

529
00:37:17,839 --> 00:37:24,480
I've got a few people backing me up on always filling in the correct birthday.

530
00:37:21,599 --> 00:37:29,040
Looney, thank you. Yamuda says 86% of statistics are made

531
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:34,240
up. Thank you for that. Um, okay. I had one person backing me up on always.

532
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:38,960
Looney, too. Then it would be Looney, wouldn't it? Okay, I love you, Looney. Fine, be like that.

533
00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:42,800
That's awesome. I see how it's going to be. All right, talk about your

534
00:37:41,359 --> 00:37:49,040
Yeah, I want to talk about this. So, this is an Indiegogo campaign that I

535
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:50,320
actually um that I Oh, you know what? I

536
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:57,599
don't know if you guys are going to get audio from this or not. Where is the uh

537
00:37:55,359 --> 00:38:01,520
where' the Where' the plug go? Is that it? Oh, I'm stepping on it. Well, that

538
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:06,240
explains it. All right, here we I'm just going to throw this in. So, this, my

539
00:38:03,359 --> 00:38:11,040
friends, is the aird do. And I actually tweeted out about it and I uh and I

540
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:13,680
posted a link on the forum before I had actually tried it just cuz I kind of

541
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:19,520
looked at the video and I was like, "Oh, that's really cool." Potentially,

542
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:21,680
I was totally not interested and then I watched the video and I was like, "Yep,

543
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:26,320
okay, cool." Also a car dock all built into one

544
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:31,280
charger built into the base and then on the face here is a phone. Yeah, I just want to skip to you know

545
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:35,760
what, whatever. Uh, so the point is he got in touch with me and uh, so guys,

546
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:43,280
it's here. I'm just going to throw the Indiegogo link in here. It's not cheap.

547
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:46,160
I think it's about 75 bucks um, even

548
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:51,040
with the Indiegogo discount. So, I think it's going to be about a hundred bucks

549
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:53,280
retail, but it's really cool. So, check

550
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:59,599
this out. Here it is. Oh, it's stuck. Okay, so it's a Chi wireless charger.

551
00:38:56,079 --> 00:39:02,079
And I should probably do this. Okay. and

552
00:38:59,599 --> 00:39:06,800
uh or charging dock. So, you got a micro USB here. You can run that down to uh

553
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:12,720
your your cigarette outlet in your car or whatever else. It comes with a kit

554
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:14,160
that has Where is it? This is just like

555
00:39:12,720 --> 00:39:17,760
a pre-production one. We're going to be doing an unboxing and review. So, I'll

556
00:39:16,079 --> 00:39:20,960
give you guys full impressions once I've really had a chance to use it. But, I

557
00:39:19,839 --> 00:39:27,119
just want to give you my initial impressions right now. So, it comes with the cigarette adapter. It comes with a

558
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:30,880
cable. comes with. Uh, see, I never really do unboxings like this anymore.

559
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:36,400
So, it's like it's like back to the old days. This thing is like batshit crazy.

560
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:43,599
Feel the material on there. This could stick to anything. I'm like I

561
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:44,000
could probably stick it to your ARM.

562
00:39:43,599 --> 00:39:47,920
Yep. Nice. Not going anywhere. We should leave it and see how long it lasts.

563
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:52,320
Yeah, we should see how long that stays there on his sweaty ARM. So, it comes

564
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:57,839
with all that stuff. Then it comes with another another piece here that is got

565
00:39:55,119 --> 00:40:02,160
to be the best bendable ARM I think I've ever encountered. It's about the

566
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:07,200
thickness of my pinky. And check this out.

567
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:12,160
That's what it takes to bend it and then it stays. It doesn't go. It just doesn't

568
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:16,400
move anymore. And then it's got uh an articulating ARM here. And then it's got

569
00:40:14,240 --> 00:40:20,880
like a more standard suction cup on the bottom piece here. Okay. But the real

570
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:25,280
magic and they actually this is hilarious because they call it magic.

571
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:30,240
Okay. Let's see what does he say. Okay. Okay. And I got to I got to call him out

572
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:33,599
on this. Magic foam

573
00:40:30,240 --> 00:40:37,359
and magnets hold the phone to the air

574
00:40:33,599 --> 00:40:39,599
dock here. Really? Magic foam anyway.

575
00:40:37,359 --> 00:40:43,440
And magnets is basically the same as saying they're magic. So that's like

576
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:48,320
saying that there's magic holding the magic and then it has wireless charging

577
00:40:45,839 --> 00:40:53,839
which in my mind is also magic because it works with magnets which are magic.

578
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:56,319
So it's like magic cubed. And the thing

579
00:40:53,839 --> 00:41:00,800
that really got my attention when I looked at the Indiegogo video was the

580
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:05,640
demo where he takes a phone, puts it on like this, and listen to this.

581
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:12,240
He loves the sound. The sound is amazing. Okay, so this one

582
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:15,599
came really dirty out of the box and really wasn't working that well and I

583
00:41:14,079 --> 00:41:18,960
was like, "Oh, my one doesn't stick to it at all. I'm I'm not impressed. I

584
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:22,720
don't like it." So, but then what I did is I washed it. So, it's just you just

585
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:27,440
wash it with water. I mean, be careful. Don't put like water all over it or

586
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:31,200
anything like that. Um cuz there's like electronics inside and stuff, but you

587
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:35,839
just kind of wash off the surface and then boom. You throw a phone on it,

588
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:40,160
shake it around. It's going to Whoa. Okay. So, it's not perfect. uh it's

589
00:41:37,839 --> 00:41:44,400
going to hold up pretty well to any kind of normal vibration that you would have

590
00:41:42,319 --> 00:41:48,480
in a car, especially if you're at an angle that's somewhat reasonable. And

591
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:54,000
this is on an HTC1, which is not a validated device. Um if you give me your

592
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:58,800
G2 for a sec. Okay, let's just go ahead.

593
00:41:57,119 --> 00:42:02,720
There we go. So, let's go ahead and stick the G2 to it. So, this is not a

594
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:08,400
validated device either, but plasticback devices are going to be more able to

595
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:12,200
stick to it. So, I can shake that around

596
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:12,200
and listen to this.

597
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:18,160
So, I don't know. Scared of it ripping the back off at some point in time. If you have a if you

598
00:42:16,720 --> 00:42:23,520
have a back removable device, like I bet you my old S3 Yeah. it would just take the back right off.

599
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:27,599
So, and it does have magnets in it, too. So, some phones and tablets actually

600
00:42:25,599 --> 00:42:32,319
have metal plates in them for magnetic mounting. So, that holds it on. And then

601
00:42:30,319 --> 00:42:35,920
the magic foam, which is actually I think it's some kind of nano thing. The

602
00:42:34,319 --> 00:42:39,839
magic foam holds it in place. So, I think it's really cool, especially cuz

603
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:44,160
just having it in your car and then just being like bloop and it charges and it

604
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:48,480
sits there well enough that you can easily do whatever navigation you're going to do. It's not going to come off

605
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:51,359
in transit. So, we're going to do a full video of it, but I just thought that was

606
00:42:49,839 --> 00:42:55,119
really cool and I wanted to call out their Indiegogo campaign and give you

607
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:59,760
guys an opportunity to get it for $25 less. This thing is still sticking to my ARM

608
00:42:57,599 --> 00:43:02,560
somehow despite being bumped like Yeah, of course it's sticking to your

609
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:06,720
ARM. Oh, hold on. Can I get it off? Yeah, there we go. Okay, so I was able to pull it off. So, you can see how

610
00:43:05,119 --> 00:43:08,960
dirty he is. It was gross before you put it on my

611
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:14,880
ARM. See the skin cells? Ew. How would you

612
00:43:13,839 --> 00:43:19,280
got to troll you, you know? I know. It's all about the troll. Are we moving on to the next thing?

613
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:23,040
Yeah, let's move on to the next thing. Okay, so Oculus Rift, it has a launch

614
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:28,800
title and they're actually going to be co-publishing it, which is really interesting. Uh they've been doing a lot

615
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:32,720
of stuff lately in that realm, but the idea that they have an actual exclusive

616
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:38,800
launch title and the fact that it's Eve Valkyrie is kind of huge because Eve

617
00:43:36,079 --> 00:43:45,680
Valkyrie has won tons of awards like uh PC game of the year at E3 2013 or PC

618
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:49,280
game of 2013 um from PC gamers, which is

619
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:50,400
pretty crazy awesome. And it's also, in

620
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:53,680
my opinion, probably the most well-developed game for Rift.

621
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:57,359
There's been games that have been made for Rift. I have not. Oh, it's amazing.

622
00:43:55,839 --> 00:44:01,200
I've seen like every possible video on the internet. It is so amazing. It's like it's unlike

623
00:44:00,079 --> 00:44:05,680
anything you've ever tried. Exactly. Which is exactly what they

624
00:44:03,599 --> 00:44:09,200
need. Oculus Rift needs that killer app to bring people to Oculus Rift because

625
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:12,640
there's all these different virtual reality goggles coming out and they're

626
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:16,319
going to need something that splits them apart. So, they're obviously moving in

627
00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:19,839
that direction with this and other things. Those other things being

628
00:44:18,079 --> 00:44:24,079
recruiting people like 3D artists, animators, gameplay engineers, and more,

629
00:44:22,319 --> 00:44:26,960
which they're doing right now. They're actively trying to hire these people.

630
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:33,040
So, if you are one of those, be sure to check it out. Also, um they have hired

631
00:44:29,839 --> 00:44:35,200
David De Martini, which is kind of scary

632
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:41,680
because he was the senior vice president at Electronics Arts.

633
00:44:38,079 --> 00:44:43,839
Yay. Helping publishing.

634
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:48,640
Don't like it. Anyways, moving on. I have another thing I don't like about

635
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:51,680
it. Um, I mean, okay, I guess it's fine

636
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:53,280
as long as it's not exclusive, but

637
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:57,280
you've written here first exclusive Oculus Rift launch title. Is that

638
00:44:56,400 --> 00:45:01,200
correct? Launch. Yeah, at launch. It's only going

639
00:45:00,079 --> 00:45:05,599
to be on Rift at launch. Okay. I don't know if it's like forevers.

640
00:45:03,839 --> 00:45:10,800
Yeah, because I mean the the the direction that I see the industry moving

641
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:12,960
is less exclusivity and more openness.

642
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:17,040
And I just I feel like if you try to turn Rift into

643
00:45:15,359 --> 00:45:20,720
it it says exclusive. Yeah. Um now I don't know if that's going to

644
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:23,200
be forever exclusive. I don't know if that's just some games are launch

645
00:45:22,319 --> 00:45:28,000
exclusives, right? Uh we've seen that actually quite a bit where it's exclusive at launch and then

646
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:32,560
it can be distributed after that. And I mean I get it. I mean I get it

647
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:37,200
because developing for a particular VR goggle is going to be different from

648
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:41,440
developing for another one. And if I'm Oculus and I'm investing heavily into

649
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:46,160
this piece of hardware and the marketing and the production and all and and

650
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:52,319
hiring John freaking Carmarmac and all this stuff, I want to make money on my

651
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:57,520
investment, but I just, you know, I don't want to see

652
00:45:54,880 --> 00:46:03,119
I mean, even Nintendo has finally begun to yield on firstparty

653
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:06,400
titles for their first party systems. They haven't said what they're doing

654
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:09,200
exactly, but they'll have some mobile content coming.

655
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:12,400
Yeah, but most people are assuming they're going to be extremely short demos.

656
00:46:11,119 --> 00:46:17,119
And I'm assuming that, too. Wallpapers. And I'm assuming that, too. But progress

657
00:46:16,319 --> 00:46:21,760
is progress. Yeah, that's true. But like a two-minute

658
00:46:19,599 --> 00:46:26,960
demo and a wallpaper, I don't think is exactly what we need. Um, need more than

659
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:31,359
that. But I don't know. So, David D. Martini is going to be working with uh

660
00:46:30,240 --> 00:46:35,520
he's going to be figuring out how to partner effectively with big partners, small developers, all the way to the

661
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:39,280
individual who wants to make something for the Rift, which is interesting and a

662
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:43,359
good idea. He's from EA and that's scary. I mean, I don't know. With all of that

663
00:46:41,359 --> 00:46:46,800
said, just because someone's from EA doesn't mean that they're evil.

664
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:50,640
I know. And I'm hoping that maybe he left EA because he wanted to do

665
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:54,640
something different. And I'm hoping that Oculus was clever

666
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:59,040
enough to hire someone that has a philosophy that's similar to theirs. And

667
00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:03,760
I mean, anything that pushes more Oculus Rift development and more titles

668
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:09,760
honestly is is big thumbs up for me because I am buying one 100%. You guys

669
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:13,359
can mark my words. If I don't buy one, then

670
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:18,319
you can I don't know, call me foul names or something like that. I'm very

671
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:21,839
probably planning on just whenever the next developer kit comes out, retiring

672
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:27,119
mine and giving it to like the high school I went to and then just moving on to the next one

673
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:33,359
because if they release a developer kit for Crystal Cove, oh,

674
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:38,560
all over that. Like that thing looks so cool. And I'd love to have a 1080p panel

675
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:43,200
and the OLED thing. Uh the the low persistence OLED. Yeah.

676
00:47:40,319 --> 00:47:48,000
Oh my goodness, that sounds amazing. So down for that.

677
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:50,880
All right. So Sony

678
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:52,960
does something that's not surprising. Well, I was going to pretend it was a

679
00:47:52,319 --> 00:47:59,040
little surprising. It's not that surprising. I mean, when's the last time you

680
00:47:55,760 --> 00:48:00,960
actually saw someone using a Sony Vio

681
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:05,359
notebook? Um, probably when I used to work in a

682
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:09,520
repair shop. And not not not I'm not saying

683
00:48:07,599 --> 00:48:13,920
I didn't I didn't mean it that way. I just meant because I saw a lot more

684
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:19,839
laptops then. Um, we didn't particularly see a lot of vios there. Um, but like

685
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:23,760
yeah, honestly I don't see them a ton to be completely honest. Usually in

686
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:28,079
classrooms you see either an army of Macs or you're somewhere that isn't

687
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:32,960
business and you see an army of cheap laptops. So it's

688
00:48:30,240 --> 00:48:36,720
or an army of expensive laptops that are HP or Dell.

689
00:48:34,720 --> 00:48:38,480
Yeah. Or like business class or ThinkPads.

690
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:42,640
Yeah. Yeah. I I just and and you know looking

691
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:47,920
at some of the stuff that they've done over the last little while I just kind

692
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:51,680
of scratch my head like the the the the

693
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:53,760
Vio Duo 13 is actually an Ultrabook that

694
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:57,680
I will be giving away shortly. I have a huge giveaway to announce in the next

695
00:48:55,680 --> 00:49:01,920
little while here. Um there will be a proper video about it, but I'm going to

696
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:06,480
give you guys a sneak preview. But as much as it's an interesting notebook and

697
00:49:04,240 --> 00:49:10,960
it's a high-end notebook and to to get it for free in a giveaway will be

698
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:14,720
awesome, don't worry. It has some design decisions that were made that I just

699
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:19,680
kind of look at and I go, "What were you thinking?" Which one was that? This was the one it So, it's a it's a

700
00:49:18,079 --> 00:49:23,520
convertible. So, basically, when the screen comes up, it goes I want to sort

701
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:27,119
of make this visual for them in a way that's easy to understand. So, the

702
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:31,760
screen comes up like this and then slides down like that. So, it only goes

703
00:49:29,599 --> 00:49:37,599
at a fixed angle. You can't adjust it. And then the hinge back here is actually

704
00:49:34,319 --> 00:49:39,760
exposed. Whereas something like this,

705
00:49:37,599 --> 00:49:45,040
which I think is called a pin wheel twoin one, makes a ton more sense. It's

706
00:49:42,240 --> 00:49:50,880
a notebook. It's a tablet. Nothing is exposed. And I

707
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:56,559
can fully adjust the angle of the screen when I'm not using it as a tablet.

708
00:49:53,920 --> 00:50:00,960
So, yeah. I like and I saw someone in the

709
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:04,960
Twitch chat, well I'm on a V laptop right now. It's like yeah they exist.

710
00:50:02,559 --> 00:50:13,040
We're not trying to say that. Um it's just quite a few years ago I saw them

711
00:50:08,559 --> 00:50:14,400
all the time and now not nearly as much.

712
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:18,079
That's more where I'm I mean it can't be helping that the uh

713
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:23,119
that PC sales have gone down what was it 7% in the last year. And when you're

714
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:29,760
someone like Sony where your market share is

715
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:31,760
not uh you know dominant um that 7%

716
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:36,480
hurts a lot. That might have been the difference between scraping by and not

717
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:41,760
making it. And I mean Sony hasn't quite gotten over that they're not a premium

718
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:46,319
brand anymore. So they designed these products. They put a lot of money into

719
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:51,520
the R&D of bringing them to market and then they're not a premium brand

720
00:50:48,240 --> 00:50:53,680
anymore. And I don't think people really

721
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:59,520
accept it. And I mean, there are regions where Sony still has um some brand

722
00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:03,920
mystique. And quite honestly, I find it baffling when there are products that

723
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:08,640
just aren't that great that somehow manage to have like this that get put on

724
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:15,359
this pedestal. I mean, products like honestly Samsung um a lot of their stuff

725
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:17,280
fantastic. Some of their stuff, how was

726
00:51:15,359 --> 00:51:24,000
anyone even accepting this? I mean, their Galaxy high-end phones, the the S3

727
00:51:20,720 --> 00:51:26,079
and the S4, particularly the S4, how was

728
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:31,440
that competitive with a lot of the other stuff? Yes, S3 was. Sorry. S4

729
00:51:29,119 --> 00:51:36,160
build qualitywise, it just it was not up to par with other devices that cost the

730
00:51:34,240 --> 00:51:39,760
same. And I mean, Google came in and, you know, crapped all over everyone.

731
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:44,079
Yeah, that's interesting. Right now, like people have asked me about buying phones. I'm like, well, you have a few

732
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:48,160
options. They're all in the Google store. If you're if you're trying to buy

733
00:51:46,559 --> 00:51:52,640
a brand new phone, like just full out buy a brand new phone. I'm like, "Yeah,

734
00:51:51,359 --> 00:51:57,200
like there's there's not a ton of options. They're all in Google Store because if you try and do price

735
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:59,599
performance outside of the Google store, like you're screwed. Everything's going

736
00:51:58,319 --> 00:52:02,640
to be $800, $900." And yet someone like Samsung gets away

737
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:09,920
with it. I mean, you look at stuff like their smart TVs. I've complained about this in the past. None of the features

738
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:12,720
work. like motion control this uh you

739
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:17,680
know tracking that you know it voice control none of it works how do we

740
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:22,480
accept this how do we let them get away with delivering something that's just

741
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,720
not polished like at all um so I don't

742
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:29,920
know plug in a chcast so some people I'm sure still feel that

743
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:33,200
Sony is super awesome apparently Sony doesn't think so anymore so they're

744
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:37,599
selling off that business unit I think the the rumored sort of on the table

745
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:41,839
price is somewhere some more in the $500 million range. Yep.

746
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:46,480
Uh the the random estimation is about $493 million.

747
00:52:43,599 --> 00:52:49,680
Um yeah, it's it's kind of interesting. Although not surprising, we were

748
00:52:47,839 --> 00:52:52,640
actually fairly recently talking about that like massive ridiculous

749
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:57,520
over-the-top percentage of Sony bankrupting. Oh yeah, someone said, what was it?

750
00:52:55,280 --> 00:53:01,520
There was a uh there was an an article that claimed there was a 78% chance,

751
00:53:00,319 --> 00:53:05,760
we talked about this on the W show. Yeah. of Sony going bankrupt in the next

752
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:08,480
I think it was some ludicrously short period of time like 2 years or something

753
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:12,559
like that and I think what we said was well no

754
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:17,119
they have a lot of assets that they could sell to keep them going for a

755
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:20,480
really long time before they just declare bankruptcy. So

756
00:53:18,559 --> 00:53:25,839
yeah and we see the beginning of it and I I expect them to liquidate certain

757
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:29,599
assets and then try to empower others to try and get profit going again and that

758
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:35,119
looks like exactly what they're doing. If you were a buyer, would you even be

759
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:40,240
remotely interested in this in the Vio brand? Because does the Vio brand mean

760
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:44,240
anything without Sony attached to it? Is it the Vio brand you're buying though

761
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:47,599
or are you buying infrastructure? You're well, you're buying both. You're

762
00:53:45,839 --> 00:53:52,160
buying a distribution system. You're buying the Vio brand. But the rumor

763
00:53:49,599 --> 00:53:55,359
right now is that Vio notebooks will probably disappear outside of Japan for

764
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:59,280
a while anyway. So you're you're probably going to lose whatever momentum

765
00:53:57,119 --> 00:54:06,319
you had. But then look at this. They forecasted 293 million profit and lost

766
00:54:03,119 --> 00:54:08,720
1.1 billion

767
00:54:06,319 --> 00:54:12,480
for the year. Would you buy this business unit and this brand that

768
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:15,920
obviously doesn't resonate with consumers?

769
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:19,839
I think that was a total for their company. Um I'm not entirely sure but

770
00:54:18,559 --> 00:54:23,839
Oh yeah, sorry. Yeah, you're right. You're right. You're right. So not just Val Laptops, but like there

771
00:54:22,319 --> 00:54:33,040
there's interesting people looking into it. There's that investment group from Japan. There's also Lenovo or uh uh uh

772
00:54:30,559 --> 00:54:37,280
what am I trying to say? Is it Lenovo? Lenovo is a company that owns IBM or

773
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:41,520
owns ThinkPad rather. Yeah, there we go. So, it's Lenovo that's looking into Vio, which is

774
00:54:39,839 --> 00:54:45,440
interesting because IBM just sold them ThinkPad. Yeah. So, I could see I could see them

775
00:54:44,720 --> 00:54:48,400
consuming it. IBM just sold them their server business as well.

776
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:53,760
Really? Yeah. Is IBM just going to sell them everything? I don't know. I guess so. Maybe Lenovo

777
00:54:52,240 --> 00:54:58,800
is just gonna buy everything just like Amazon and Google are buying everything.

778
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:01,839
It's interesting how these massive companies are just going on insane

779
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:07,359
shopping spree. In the last few years, Lenovo came from

780
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:11,920
absolutely not significant at all with funding from the Chinese government to

781
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:12,720
being a dominant PC manufacturer. It's

782
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:17,040
amazing that Chinese government backing

783
00:55:15,359 --> 00:55:21,440
is pretty strong. So, there's going to be quite a few things hit by this. um

784
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:27,599
about 5,000 jobs are going to be cut. That's about 1,500 in Japan and 3,500

785
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:31,920
overseas. Uh so it's not all just randomly Sony dropping part of their

786
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:36,480
business. It's also Sony dropping 5,000 jobs, which is not good to hear as the

787
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:39,920
job market in many places isn't super great right now. Um so

788
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:44,559
could be worse. They could work for Linus Media Group.

789
00:55:42,240 --> 00:55:48,079
I mean, how likely is your job to end? I fire you Well, I haven't fired you in a

790
00:55:46,240 --> 00:55:52,319
long time, actually. Speaking of acquisitions, Amazon just bought a game

791
00:55:50,240 --> 00:55:58,720
studio. So, this was posted by Top War Gamer. And Top War Gamer, can you please

792
00:55:55,920 --> 00:56:01,280
not post mobile links when you link people to things on the forum? Come on,

793
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:05,440
man. Lol. Lol. I don't think it's that hard to fix.

794
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:09,280
Yeah. Yeah. But at least I I would Okay, I'm not going

795
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:12,480
to harp on him that hard because he always fills things out. That's true.

796
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:15,680
And I would way rather it was filled out and had a mobile link than wasn't filled

797
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:20,079
out and had a normal link. True that. All right. So, there you go. Here, carry

798
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:25,040
on. This isn't, in my opinion, that super

799
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:27,599
interesting yet. Um, it it's interesting because of what might happen in the

800
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:33,680
future. There's been a lot of rumors spinning around about Amazon maybe releasing a set top box console, which

801
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:37,680
is interesting. However, that might possibly work. I don't know. Is it a

802
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:42,480
Steam box? I don't know. Is it an Android system? Who knows?

803
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:43,200
Does it use their cloud to do cloud

804
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:48,640
gaming? Maybe. I don't know. Oh, there's a lot of different stuff spinning around about

805
00:56:46,559 --> 00:56:52,720
this, so we'll see what happens there. Um, it's also not the first gaming

806
00:56:50,799 --> 00:56:56,559
acquisition they've made. They they got casual game maker Reflexive

807
00:56:54,559 --> 00:57:00,880
Entertainment back in 2008. So, they're adding um these guys to the list. Double

808
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:04,640
Helix is still fully intending to support Killer Instinct, which was a

809
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:08,880
Xbox One game. So, they're going to be releasing more content, more characters

810
00:57:06,240 --> 00:57:13,040
into it. Um, and they fully expect to release uh more Killer Instinct games

811
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:17,359
for Xbox One in the future. not that very many people watching this show

812
00:57:14,559 --> 00:57:21,520
care. Um, and yeah, so a lot of what Double Helix

813
00:57:20,079 --> 00:57:26,079
is doing is not going to change, but they're going to be a part of Amazon Game Studios. And there's all this other

814
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:31,760
stuff going on about Amazon Game Studios. So, while this isn't interesting now, once Amazon actually

815
00:57:29,599 --> 00:57:37,359
does make a proper announcement about what their gaming system set top box

816
00:57:34,079 --> 00:57:38,960
possible, maybe possibly thing might be,

817
00:57:37,359 --> 00:57:42,559
uh, this might become interesting. And once they make announcements about what

818
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:46,799
these gaming studios are actually doing, that might also be interesting. But

819
00:57:45,359 --> 00:57:51,839
right now, it's just they bought something and yeah, that's about it. So,

820
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:56,000
there's not a ton we can actually say about that right now. Speaking of things

821
00:57:53,599 --> 00:58:00,880
to buy or not necessarily buy, our sponsor today is Hotspot Shield. So, you

822
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:06,079
can visit bit.ly/hsshare. It's a bitly linkhare.

823
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:09,040
And I'm going to go ahead and post a nice little link for you guys in the

824
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:14,319
Twitch chat. that I realize this is something I should probably do all the

825
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:16,880
time because you have more reason than

826
00:58:14,319 --> 00:58:20,799
ever to care about Hotspot Shield at the moment, particularly if you're in a

827
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:25,200
region that doesn't have great coverage of the Sochi Olympics. So, I'm going to

828
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:29,920
go ahead and throw that link in there. Um, so Hotspot Shield is the fast, easy

829
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:32,720
way to set up a VPN. You can get a free trial of their elite service by clicking

830
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:39,920
on the link that I just put in there. And with offer code Linus, you can save 20% off of your first purchase of their

831
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:45,680
elite service. So, you can use that in this case to get access to uh the BBC's

832
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:49,839
coverage of the Sochi Olympics if your coverage in your area isn't that great.

833
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:53,119
I think it was you who shared a chart with me. Did I was looking for it

834
00:58:51,599 --> 00:58:59,040
earlier? I couldn't find it. It should be on my Twitter.

835
00:58:55,200 --> 00:59:01,040
Yeah. of how absolute rubbish a lot of a

836
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:05,839
lot of count's coverage of the Olympics is this time around. And so with Hotspot

837
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:12,160
Shield, once you get it installed, you can actually tell it what country you

838
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:14,880
want to appear to other websites as

839
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:18,079
being from. So, if for some reason you wanted to watch something that is only

840
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:21,680
being broadcast in the US, whether it's Netflix or whether it's uh an Olympic

841
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:25,520
event, or you wanted to watch something that's only being broadcast in the UK,

842
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:31,200
you could actually switch between them and get whatever coverage it is that you

843
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:33,040
wanted. All of that instantly. So, guys,

844
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:36,000
I'm going to Oh, yeah. Here, can you send me this link in

845
00:59:34,319 --> 00:59:39,200
I I posted in the Twitch chat. I can also put it in the dog. No, no, it's fine. I'll go ahead and

846
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:45,119
click it in the Twitch. Oh, it might have flown away. It moved fast.

847
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:49,440
But there we go. All right. So, I'll show you guys that link. Lionus's

848
00:59:47,359 --> 00:59:52,559
screen. And of course, guys, remember when you even when you sign up for a

849
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:56,160
trial of Hotspot Shield, you're helping us out in a big way because they are one

850
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:58,880
of our sponsors. So, this is this is super subject to change.

851
00:59:58,079 --> 01:00:06,000
Like, this is just all subject to change. But TV coverage, couple hundred hours,

852
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:09,920
couple hundred hours, 240 hours, 539

853
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:12,240
hours. um online coverage in the US. It

854
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:15,680
looks like it at least was when this was released going to be cable and satellite

855
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:18,640
subscribers only. Uh I've heard I've heard quite a few of

856
01:00:17,359 --> 01:00:22,720
these things have already actually changed. Y um but this is where it

857
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:26,400
started. So other things will be add-on layers essentially. So if for whatever reason you're not

858
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:31,359
happy with your coverage here, I'm going to post that link again. And someone's

859
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:36,960
like, why didn't you go to Sochi to cover it? Well, it isn't technology.

860
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:40,160
There's no like overclocking Olympics there.

861
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:43,160
It would be in the mountains though. Although

862
01:00:43,359 --> 01:00:48,079
actually we don't really cover the overclocking Olympics either anyway. So

863
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:52,079
No, frankly, they aren't that interesting.

864
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:54,240
No, I'm way more because it's not representative of what you're going to

865
01:00:53,599 --> 01:01:01,440
be able to do. I don't know. I mean, my problem with professional overclocking really comes

866
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:02,880
down to the personalities. Like remember

867
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:08,640
how hard it was for you to get an interview from anyone? God, I felt so

868
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:11,760
useless at that event. I was like, okay, they're focused on working and I have to

869
01:01:11,359 --> 01:01:20,000
stand. And that's fine. I respect that. I get that. But at the end of the day, in my

870
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:23,920
mind, it is the obligation of a professional

871
01:01:21,599 --> 01:01:30,319
sports person or a professional competitor to advocate for what they do

872
01:01:28,079 --> 01:01:35,520
to make people interested in it because there was stuff there that was really

873
01:01:33,119 --> 01:01:41,599
interesting, but no one wanted to show it to us or talk to us about it. Like

874
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:44,079
when I was at Gigabytes thing at uh CES,

875
01:01:41,599 --> 01:01:50,559
uh one of the overclockers there had a graphics card that was had a full PCB

876
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:52,240
and then it had the back PCB of a

877
01:01:50,559 --> 01:01:56,799
different graphics card or like some EVGA like weird thing like soldered to

878
01:01:54,799 --> 01:02:00,880
it so they could like plug in more PCI Express connectors and get more power to

879
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:04,640
it. And I'm like who's covering this? That's awesome.

880
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:08,640
Yeah. And that's really cool. But then no one will talk to you about it.

881
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:12,319
Yeah. It's interesting. Um, also a problem that I have with it is it's so

882
01:02:10,559 --> 01:02:16,720
hard to replicate at home. There's a lot of insane binning that's

883
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:18,880
going on. Uh, like just throwing away tons of parts because they're not good

884
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:25,280
enough. People are like, "Trade secrets, my friends." You know what? I don't care

885
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:30,559
because you can have a trade secret that no one's talking about and no one's

886
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:32,720
watching and maybe doesn't exist 5 years

887
01:02:30,559 --> 01:02:38,079
from now. If you care about having a job, you have to be open about it. It's

888
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:43,920
like look at any professional sport. Do they hide how to dribble a basketball or

889
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:48,720
do they want all the youth in the world dribbling wanting to dribble a

890
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:51,839
basketball just like LeBron James? That

891
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:53,920
is how it works. That is how you get

892
01:02:51,839 --> 01:02:58,799
people engaged and excited about what you're doing. I don't hold anything back

893
01:02:56,319 --> 01:03:02,720
from you guys about what we do here. I'm willing to explain anything we do,

894
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:05,680
whether it's on the computer side or whether it's even on the YouTube or

895
01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:10,240
social media side. And I love answering questions about this stuff because I've done it quite a few times even.

896
01:03:08,319 --> 01:03:14,160
The reality of it is if you're not constantly innovating, people will catch

897
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:19,280
up to you anyway. So if you just sit there and jealously guard your secrets

898
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:23,119
and try to prevent other people from furthering what you're doing, well, how

899
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:26,720
are you ever going to learn from them as well when they innovate and they

900
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:28,720
discover it's all about sharing? And that's what I think a lot of people

901
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:32,559
don't understand, which is actually exactly Have we released that video yet?

902
01:03:32,079 --> 01:03:37,359
Which one? The 2014 update. No. So, which is exactly what a future

903
01:03:35,839 --> 01:03:40,960
video will actually be about is how we're planning on trying to be agile

904
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:45,280
again because we always try to plan on being agile, trying to change things. It actually

905
01:03:43,839 --> 01:03:49,920
Okay. Right. I promised to give some information about the giveaway. So, this

906
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:57,200
giveaway is going to be for the crate computer. So, that's a 4670K

907
01:03:52,559 --> 01:04:00,319
GTX 780 500 gig SSD PC that's built onto

908
01:03:57,200 --> 01:04:02,799
the back of a 27in gaming LCD. Worldwide

909
01:04:00,319 --> 01:04:05,359
giveaway. Okay. We're also giving away an ASUS GTX Titan.

910
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:08,720
Boom. And we're also giving away a Sony Vio 13

911
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:14,000
Ultrabook. Boom. Three things all at the same time. And

912
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:20,000
all you're going to have to do, there's going to be a video coming up on Techquickie that you're going to have to

913
01:04:17,119 --> 01:04:25,280
comment on. And then the Titan and the Vio Ultra book are going to be a little

914
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:27,119
bit different. So, the main prize is the

915
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:33,440
crate computer, and anyone can enter that one. But to enter into the other

916
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:36,480
draws, you must either be a social media

917
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:39,839
influencer with 10,000 followers on some

918
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:42,319
platform or another and share the video,

919
01:04:39,839 --> 01:04:47,119
or you must get a social media influencer to share it and credit you

920
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:52,480
for sharing it with them in the first place, and then you will be entered for

921
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:55,200
a chance to win the Titan. So, I am I am

922
01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:59,920
enlisting you guys to help spread the word about the crate computer giveaway

923
01:04:57,599 --> 01:05:05,440
by incentivizing you with a chance to be in a much smaller pool of people who

924
01:05:03,599 --> 01:05:07,440
could win a GTX Titan. Imagine someone wins both.

925
01:05:06,799 --> 01:05:11,520
I'm sorry. Imagine the dude that wins the crate also wins the Titan. Is that possible?

926
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:14,799
Are we allowing that to be possible? I don't think we can allow that. Just roll.

927
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:20,799
Yeah, we'd have to roll. We'd have to draw the crate computer first. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then the Vio Ultra

928
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:23,520
book is for the influencers. Yeah.

929
01:05:21,359 --> 01:05:26,880
So, anyone who shares it who is an influencer is in the bucket to win the

930
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:30,559
Vio, which I don't think there'll be that many. Maybe 10 or 20 influencers

931
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:34,480
tops. That's great odds on a thousand notebook. And then the Titan for the

932
01:05:32,559 --> 01:05:39,440
people who get influencers to share. And then the crate computer, which anyone

933
01:05:36,079 --> 01:05:42,079
can join. Y. So, it's going to be crazy.

934
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:45,440
Someone's like, "Of course you have to have a a stupid garbage book or Twitter

935
01:05:44,079 --> 01:05:49,280
account. What the hell are you talking about?" I said you have to leave a

936
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:53,440
comment on the tech wiki video for a chance to win the crate computer.

937
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:59,039
I did that. That actually that No, no, no. Yeah, good try though. Someone's like,

938
01:05:55,839 --> 01:06:00,960
"Sell out." Sell out to who?

939
01:05:59,039 --> 01:06:02,880
I don't understand what just happened. But let's ignore the Twitch chat right

940
01:06:02,559 --> 01:06:06,319
now. Wow. Most people have said good things about

941
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:13,760
it. Yeah, I I love you guys mostly, but some of you don't get it. All right, so let's

942
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:16,480
move on to our next topic. Uh here we

943
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:20,160
go. Ah, yes. California.

944
01:06:18,559 --> 01:06:26,079
There's a California bill that's proposing a mandatory kill switch for

945
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:30,640
phones and tablets in 2015. Really cool. That's actually really cool. So,

946
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:34,880
more than down. So, there's some requirements that it has to make. They're not making you use like a

947
01:06:33,359 --> 01:06:38,240
specific one. They're not like, "Oh, yeah. Lowjack has to come pre-installed

948
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:42,000
on every single mobile device." No, they're not doing that. But, but it has

949
01:06:40,319 --> 01:06:46,240
to meet certain requirements. So, those requirements are if I can find it really

950
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:48,880
quickly. Uh, of course I can't find it really

951
01:06:47,359 --> 01:06:53,440
quickly. Once activated, it should be able to prevent phone calls, internet

952
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:56,880
access, and the ability to run apps. Um, you can also

953
01:06:55,680 --> 01:07:00,480
It also has to be able to restrain people from doing a hard reset. Um, it

954
01:06:59,119 --> 01:07:05,359
has to be able to restrain them from returning the device to factory condition or downgrading to a different

955
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:08,799
operating system. So, basically, it has to be able to be on there all the time.

956
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:12,480
Yeah. because you shouldn't be able to remove it and it should be able to

957
01:07:10,799 --> 01:07:16,640
restrict you from phone calls, internet access or running apps. So, it

958
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:22,640
essentially renders your entire phone useless and you can't remove it.

959
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:26,960
So, this comes this stems from um an increase in muggings that are targeting

960
01:07:24,799 --> 01:07:30,799
mobile devices. I mean, what is something that you could basically

961
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:36,480
assume someone will have on them that they can give you in less than 10

962
01:07:33,119 --> 01:07:37,520
seconds that is reasonably valuable and

963
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:42,160
easy to flip? Super easy to flip. Super easy to flip. It's not going to be

964
01:07:40,079 --> 01:07:46,559
jewelry necessarily. Actually, I was reading a really interesting article on

965
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:52,559
the resale value of diamond jewelry, and it's like nothing. It's it's like

966
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:57,359
pennies on the dollar basically because the assumption is that it's probably

967
01:07:54,880 --> 01:08:01,520
stolen. Plus, there's the fact that uh diamond retailers are buying at

968
01:07:59,039 --> 01:08:05,200
wholesale that is so much lower than the retail prices that people bring in

969
01:08:03,599 --> 01:08:08,400
diamond jewelry for trade-ins and they're just like they usually just end

970
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:12,319
up keeping it anyway because it's just not actually worth anything.

971
01:08:10,319 --> 01:08:15,760
And so, so jewelry is not necessarily the answer. So, you just walk up like,

972
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:18,719
"Give me your phone." Because people's wallets won't necessarily have anything

973
01:08:17,440 --> 01:08:22,000
of value in them. uh card now. Yeah. It's going to be plastic. It's

974
01:08:20,799 --> 01:08:27,040
like, "Yeah, here. Go ahead. Take my wallet and just let me take my driver's license and like, you know,

975
01:08:25,279 --> 01:08:29,920
and the leather and you can have everything in it." Yeah. You can have everything in it

976
01:08:28,799 --> 01:08:33,600
because I'm going to go ahead. I'm going to place a phone call right now with

977
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:38,640
like someone else's phone because you probably just stole my phone, which is the only valuable thing. And I'm going

978
01:08:36,480 --> 01:08:42,400
to cancel all those cards. Yeah. I don't know. Oh.

979
01:08:40,799 --> 01:08:48,159
Uh, they're going to be pushed pretty hard. Retailers are going to be fined around uh $500 to $2,500 per device

980
01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:52,239
that's sold that doesn't have this type of technology. Yeah. So, it's not set in stone or

981
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:56,319
anything, but the fine could range anywhere in there. And it's important to

982
01:08:54,080 --> 01:09:02,159
note that per device word. So, a retailer that sells 10,000 phones that

983
01:08:59,679 --> 01:09:06,319
aren't equipped with this technology in California could be looking at whatever

984
01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:12,640
the math is for 500 five, you know, millions of dollars

985
01:09:09,359 --> 01:09:15,120
in fines potentially. So, kind of a

986
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:17,679
really big deal. Um, I think it's awesome. One thing that they are

987
01:09:16,239 --> 01:09:23,520
expressing worry about is that no one's really going to want to make a phone just for California. Um, but they were

988
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:27,359
saying that if that does even look like it starts to happen, uh, they're going

989
01:09:25,440 --> 01:09:31,520
to push really hard for basically everyone else in the states to back this

990
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:35,040
as well. And it looks extremely possible that that is going to happen regardless

991
01:09:33,759 --> 01:09:39,920
of whether or not people are worried about making phones for California. There are other states that are very

992
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:44,560
interested in proposing a bill that is essentially the exact same thing. And

993
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:50,159
I'm totally down for that. Totally, completely down for that because phones

994
01:09:46,239 --> 01:09:50,480
getting stolen is a huge deal.

995
01:09:50,159 --> 01:09:57,600
Yeah, that's that's about all I have to say. I'm happy. Me, too.

996
01:09:55,840 --> 01:10:02,719
Something less happy. This is the rumor mill. That's my

997
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:04,320
on-screen keyboard. Posted by a Hi,

998
01:10:02,719 --> 01:10:10,640
Carrie. I should know how to say this by now. Uh, you post a fair bit of news.

999
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:12,880
So, the rumor mill says GM107

1000
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:17,600
is a new core that could be coming from AMD at some point here. This is from

1001
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:20,159
videocards.com. What's up? You said it. AMD.

1002
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:24,960
Did I say AMD? Yep. Oh, sorry. NVIDIA. The NVIDIA logo is

1003
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:32,480
clearly visible there. So, don't mind don't mind the man behind the curtain.

1004
01:10:28,239 --> 01:10:35,120
Um, so there's a even bigger NVIDIA logo

1005
01:10:32,480 --> 01:10:39,920
there. Thank you for that. Okay, you've got the summary in the dock. So, so

1006
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:43,360
essentially it's a hybrid between GK 107 and GK 106. For all of you guys that

1007
01:10:41,679 --> 01:10:46,400
were super excited for a big massive card, maybe not so much. Uh, the slower

1008
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:51,440
variant. Oh, I don't think we ever said this. Yeah. So, rumor on the street, word on

1009
01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:56,640
the street is that this is Maxwell. Yeah. Maxwell, but 700 series Maxwell.

1010
01:10:54,080 --> 01:11:02,560
700 series Maxwell. So, not GTX 800 series. Um, not a 20 nanometer chip. So,

1011
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:06,640
this is still at a 28 nmter manufacturing process. And then like you

1012
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:10,960
were saying, somewhere between GK 107 and GK 106. Okay. Go ahead.

1013
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:15,360
Um, so the the focus of it is extremely low power. So, the slower variant, the

1014
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:18,239
GM107-300 will be used for a GTX 750.

1015
01:11:17,199 --> 01:11:25,120
Rumored allegedly. Rumored. And then the GM 107-400 will

1016
01:11:21,440 --> 01:11:27,840
rumored allegedly be used for a GTX 750

1017
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:32,400
Ti. Rumored allegedly. Um, we have a chart down here that shows speeds. And

1018
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:37,840
the speeds are not oh my god fast. But the power usage is

1019
01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:42,880
oh my god low. Some of these are actually going to be able to even be

1020
01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:46,800
used without any extra power or just a

1021
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:47,840
single six pin, which is interesting and

1022
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:52,400
boring. Well, come on. You can't call power savings boring. You know what? I

1023
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:56,560
actually had a really interesting conversation with a guy from Intel um

1024
01:11:54,880 --> 01:12:00,480
when and it was just like everything is off the record. It wasn't like official

1025
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:05,040
Intel, you know, jargon or anything like that, but I was he was like, you know,

1026
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:08,560
what's your take on what we've been doing for the last few years? And I'm

1027
01:12:06,239 --> 01:12:11,440
like, it's boring. It's the typical enthusiast response.

1028
01:12:10,159 --> 01:12:16,080
You guys haven't done anything that's lit my world on fire in terms of driving

1029
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:19,920
up performance. And he's like, you know what? You know, power savings aren't

1030
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:24,239
boring or aren't interesting. And I'm like, well, no. And he's like, well, you

1031
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:29,280
know, what about this? What if that die area that we saved on making the CPU

1032
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:34,719
more powerful is what enables your notebook to go from sleep to wake in

1033
01:12:32,719 --> 01:12:36,880
like, you know, a second. But they're not talking about that.

1034
01:12:36,159 --> 01:12:42,159
Who? Intel. Intel. I know. Um, no, no, no. I'm just

1035
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:45,760
talking about like the the conversation I was having. No, I I know. But he's

1036
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:50,080
like, but you have to consider like, have we not introduced exciting

1037
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:54,960
technologies? And I'm like, okay, yes, you've

1038
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:59,440
introduced exciting technologies. It's just that the performance hasn't excited

1039
01:12:57,600 --> 01:13:03,440
me. And I kind of go and I'm kind of sitting there going, "But I see your

1040
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:07,120
perspective because just because saving some power doesn't excite me personally,

1041
01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:12,159
the enthusiast, doesn't mean that it isn't having an impact." I mean, if we

1042
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:13,760
can take this card and have it be fairly

1043
01:13:12,159 --> 01:13:16,960
close to this in terms of performance, so it's probably going to have jacked up

1044
01:13:15,679 --> 01:13:21,440
memory frequency because that's what NVIDIA's been doing lately. So even though it's only got a 128 bit,

1045
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:27,920
it's hard to see. Sorry. So I can't highlight. It's a picture. Way to go. Uh, so even though

1046
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:30,239
it's only got a 128 bit bus compared to

1047
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:33,360
192bit bus, the overall specs are similar and if it has faster memory, we

1048
01:13:32,159 --> 01:13:38,560
could be looking at very similar performance, but at just over half of

1049
01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:45,280
the power consumption. And then something else to think about is the global impact of this. I mean, if a

1050
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:50,239
hundred thousand people, hypothetical number, are using this card versus that

1051
01:13:47,440 --> 01:13:53,920
card, we are saving all of that power and all those resources for the world

1052
01:13:53,040 --> 01:14:00,400
when we're gaming. And that is awesome. It just it's not exciting.

1053
01:13:57,120 --> 01:14:02,640
And it's not exciting.

1054
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:06,400
Like like it's cool, but it just and like with the the the technologies that

1055
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:09,600
Intel's coming out with, like that's cool, man. But

1056
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:13,520
well, it's more of an expectation management thing, I think.

1057
01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:19,760
Yeah. Like like you expect there to be a significant difference between 3000

1058
01:14:15,440 --> 01:14:21,840
series or between 2000 series and 4,000

1059
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:26,880
series Intel processors and when overclocked, it's just like

1060
01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:29,679
meh. So, I don't know.

1061
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:34,000
Yeah, the Twitch chat seems to be with us that power savings are boring.

1062
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:39,360
The Twitch chat also figured I was selling out because I was doing a giveaway. I don't get that.

1063
01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:42,880
I I think people are selling out. Are you selling out to yourself because

1064
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:46,719
you're driving techquicki which is us? Yeah. So you're selling to yourself. So it's

1065
01:14:45,679 --> 01:14:50,080
like a loop transaction and I'm using my own stuff. Yeah.

1066
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:54,719
Like all this all So you are losing things

1067
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:59,760
to buy things for myself. For yourself.

1068
01:14:56,560 --> 01:15:03,280
Is that selling out? I'm curious. I'm

1069
01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:05,120
not going to ask the Twitch chat though.

1070
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:08,159
Except Except we're both staring at the Twitch chat. Except we're both staring at the Twitch

1071
01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:13,679
chat. Yes. Yes, we are. Okay, we're not going to look at the Twitch chat anymore. Sorry, Twitch chat. All right,

1072
01:15:10,719 --> 01:15:18,080
Titanfall minimum specs are out. And this is both surprising and not

1073
01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:22,320
surprising at all. I mean, it it is based on the source engine, which can

1074
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:25,600
basically run on this, which I think was the point of the uh picture that Nice

1075
01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:32,400
Hat decided to post, which is awesome. Which is awesome. Um, but I guess just,

1076
01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:36,560
you know, next generation game, you know, super exciting AAA title that

1077
01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:41,760
people are stoked about. I was expecting it to not run on an Athlon X2 2.8 GHz.

1078
01:15:40,159 --> 01:15:47,679
My favorite part is the requirement for Windows 7 and then the 512 megaby RAM

1079
01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:50,800
requirement and then Windows 7 having a it's not you can go lower than that, but

1080
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:55,040
Windows 7's like, yeah, you should probably go about one gig or two gigs.

1081
01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:58,239
And if you're having a 64-bit operating system, which this game also requires,

1082
01:15:56,880 --> 01:16:01,520
you should probably go about two gigs. Then the game's like, 512 megabytes,

1083
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:06,719
it's all good. Yeah, I don't know if I'd really want to play it with these specs.

1084
01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:11,760
I don't think so. I don't think so. I think like I think it's going to

1085
01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:16,159
install and you'll load it and then you'll probably want an upgrade. But I

1086
01:16:13,679 --> 01:16:19,760
mean, for particularly laptop gamers, I mean, I don't know how many lands you've

1087
01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:22,719
gone to, but a lot of the Yeah, I know you've gone to a lot of lands.

1088
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:26,480
I was like, what? It's just usually how I preface things. I know.

1089
01:16:24,719 --> 01:16:30,239
But the ones that I've been to, there's a lot of people gaming on older

1090
01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:34,400
notebooks because that's the kind of machine they needed. They're not going

1091
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:39,679
to buy a notebook and a desktop. And gaming notebooks out of all the types of

1092
01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:44,800
gaming devices, even tablets that are optimized for gaming, I feel like uh

1093
01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:50,000
degrade in relative performance to everything else slower than gaming

1094
01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:54,960
notebooks. Um, if you buy on a bad generation of gaming notebook, you could

1095
01:16:52,719 --> 01:16:58,400
have the next gen of gaming notebooks be a quantum leap forward in performance

1096
01:16:56,719 --> 01:17:02,080
because it actually gets a core change in addition to a branding change and

1097
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:07,920
then it could stagnate for two or three years. So, you you either are are kind

1098
01:17:05,199 --> 01:17:11,280
of up there or or like you're not at all and the the industry just moves forward

1099
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:13,920
without you. So, I think this is great for people who have a several year old

1100
01:17:12,640 --> 01:17:18,080
gaming notebook and actually want to be able to play Titanfall because it looks

1101
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:22,239
pretty exciting. Yeah, actually I'm actually pretty

1102
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:25,679
stoked for it. Um, but then I'm kind of scared as well. But I don't know. We'll

1103
01:17:23,440 --> 01:17:30,159
see how it goes. In other news of things that I'm excited for and scared, but I

1104
01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:34,960
think the scared level, like the excited level this time last year was the exact

1105
01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:39,120
same as the scared level is this time, like around now is the ESO beta.

1106
01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:41,679
No, hold on a second. They do say that. Uh, no. You Oh, right. Never mind.

1107
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:47,199
That's Windows 7. ESO beta. Where is that? Uh, it's not in here, but ESO beta is

1108
01:17:45,199 --> 01:17:51,920
this weekend. Um, I don't think that part's under NDA, and if it is, the

1109
01:17:48,960 --> 01:17:57,120
entire internet knows, so shut up. Um, but like the the the NDA behind ESO beta

1110
01:17:55,520 --> 01:18:02,560
is ridiculous. They're doing like a server load balancing level beta and

1111
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:06,000
it's still under NDA. Like everyone and their mom got a beta key, but they're

1112
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:10,320
like, "Nope, nope, don't talk about it. Don't stream it." Blah, blah, blah. Because it's ugly as hell. which is part

1113
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:13,440
of the problem and a whole bunch of other problems. But yeah, anyways, I'm

1114
01:18:12,239 --> 01:18:18,080
going to stop talking about things that are scaring me. Okay, what else we got? We have the different sites supporting

1115
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:22,480
Bitcoin payments. Yeah, so you can buy uh

1116
01:18:20,719 --> 01:18:27,920
you can buy things off Tigerirect and scan.co.uk

1117
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:31,120
by using Bit uh Bit Pay, which is using

1118
01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:32,640
Bitcoins. Bit Kay Bitay is a little bit

1119
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:36,640
uh I don't know.

1120
01:18:34,719 --> 01:18:42,239
I was trying to figure out like how Bit Pay works. So, I went on their website

1121
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:44,800
and went to the like how it works area

1122
01:18:42,239 --> 01:18:49,520
and the YouTube video that they have specifically made for that is showed up

1123
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:55,199
as set to private. So, I was like, that's weird. So, I went to YouTube and

1124
01:18:52,719 --> 01:18:58,640
was like, Bit Pay. I find their channel. I'm like, okay, cool. Maybe they have a

1125
01:18:57,280 --> 01:19:04,000
new updated one and they just forgot to update the website. Click on the channel. This channel was like removed

1126
01:19:02,480 --> 01:19:06,960
or deleted or something. I'm just like, "Oh,

1127
01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:11,120
okay." So, in theory, the way Bit Pay works is

1128
01:19:09,199 --> 01:19:15,199
that exchange rates are calculated every minute and can be grabbed through an API

1129
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:20,159
and shown on a website like tigerdirect.com or scan.co.uk, UK,

1130
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:27,280
which is kind of awesome because one of the things that was happening in the past uh was very early adopters of bit

1131
01:19:24,480 --> 01:19:31,360
pitcoin payments. What they were doing was just taking like

1132
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:35,600
the high point and then going a little bit higher and then being like uh I mean

1133
01:19:34,159 --> 01:19:40,880
sorry the low point and going a little bit lower and being oh sorry yeah the

1134
01:19:39,440 --> 01:19:45,600
high point going a little bit higher than being like that's how much it actually costs. So that you'd get crazy

1135
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:51,120
charge whenever you tried to buy anything with Bitcoin. So, it's actually a lot more worth it to just go exchange

1136
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:54,320
exchange your bitcoins in to dollars and then buy the thing with dollars. But,

1137
01:19:52,719 --> 01:19:59,280
this makes it more realistic to buy things with bitcoins. Um, it's honestly

1138
01:19:57,040 --> 01:20:02,800
actually pretty easy and cheap for someone to set up. It's about 30 bucks a

1139
01:20:01,040 --> 01:20:11,199
month to run as long as you're doing under about 30,000 20 $29,000 a month.

1140
01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:13,199
Um, but then I worry about a few things

1141
01:20:11,199 --> 01:20:16,320
on it. Like it it doesn't seem I don't know. It doesn't seem like the most

1142
01:20:14,480 --> 01:20:20,480
secure thing ever. and their website's a little bit sketchy. Um, but it's

1143
01:20:18,239 --> 01:20:22,880
probably entirely fine. I just worry about a lot of things like that a little

1144
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:27,760
bit more than I probably should. Here's a bunch of folks that are using it.

1145
01:20:26,159 --> 01:20:32,800
Yep. So, it's not like they're really small

1146
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:36,480
and nobody's using it at all. That's very true. But then when you look

1147
01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:41,440
into a lot of these websites, they're there are ones I recognize. NameCheep.

1148
01:20:38,960 --> 01:20:43,920
Yep. A lot of them are just straight up

1149
01:20:42,719 --> 01:20:49,520
Bitcoin websites though. Yeah. A lot of them are like an extremely large portion.

1150
01:20:47,440 --> 01:20:54,320
Yep. Okay.

1151
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:56,159
Wow. There's a lot of stuff on this page. I'm not going to scroll through

1152
01:20:55,600 --> 01:21:00,800
the whole really really long. Uh that's actually why I brought that out too is I have

1153
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:03,920
sketchy feelings because of like the YouTube page disappearing and all that

1154
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:07,840
other kind of stuff. But then there's also this which is

1155
01:21:06,239 --> 01:21:10,560
actually really cool. They're like look at all the things we're working on right

1156
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:16,159
now, right? So you it might work. It might be

1157
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:19,040
entirely fine. Um, I don't know. I don't know how big the team is. Maybe it's a

1158
01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:23,760
small team thing, so they just haven't noticed the YouTube thing yet, right? Uh, maybe it's something else. It's

1159
01:21:22,159 --> 01:21:26,480
probably entirely fine. Massdrop uses them. That's kind of cool.

1160
01:21:25,679 --> 01:21:32,880
That is actually kind of cool. Lots of good stuff on Mass Drop. Yep. All right. Well, I think we're about

1161
01:21:31,520 --> 01:21:35,679
five minutes from the end of the show, so let's go ahead and see if there's uh

1162
01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:39,679
We have quite a few things left, actually. Do we? Call of Duty is now on a

1163
01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:44,480
three-year dev cycle, so this is interesting.

1164
01:21:41,679 --> 01:21:47,520
uh they they added a a developer, it's called Sledgehammer, which I believe

1165
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:50,480
worked on a previous game in conjunction, which with another one of

1166
01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:55,760
the teams, and apparently this was a knee-jerk reaction to uh the crazy low

1167
01:21:53,679 --> 01:21:59,920
ratings that Call of Duty Ghost got. Apparently, it's sold fairly well. Um,

1168
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:05,040
the sales are going down a little bit more rapidly than they had hoped, but the initial sales were actually pretty

1169
01:22:03,199 --> 01:22:09,840
all right, but I think that has in no smart small part due uh due to the new

1170
01:22:07,520 --> 01:22:14,960
consoles. Um, because people just wanted games for them. Um, but yeah, they're

1171
01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:18,639
saying this should help their teams be able to polish and ensure really high

1172
01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:23,840
quality games every single time they have a release because now they have a three-year cycle instead of a two-year

1173
01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:28,000
cycle. So instead of releasing a game and then trying to support it for

1174
01:22:25,440 --> 01:22:32,560
another year while kind of working on a new game and then crazy working on a new

1175
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:35,920
game for one year, you kind of have supporting your game for a year and then

1176
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:40,159
crazy working on a game for two years, which is actually a lot more time.

1177
01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:44,800
Yeah, that's that this makes such a big difference because I mean you look at even something like Battlefield 4, like

1178
01:22:42,800 --> 01:22:48,480
how much patching is going into that game realistically?

1179
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:52,400
How much work is getting done on Battlefield 5?

1180
01:22:51,280 --> 01:22:58,239
Okay. No. Yeah. Like you have to support the game. Yeah.

1181
01:22:55,520 --> 01:23:01,840
At least in theory. Uh for for a fair amount of time after you've released it,

1182
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:06,000
which really eats into that time for the next game. Whereas this I mean this is

1183
01:23:04,480 --> 01:23:10,960
great. So by adding a full another development studio as long as they as

1184
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:14,960
long as they do a good job of it. Um they've they're able I believe this is

1185
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:20,639
the same number of teams that NVIDIA uses. So for new GPUs, I believe, don't

1186
01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:26,320
quote me on this, but I believe NVIDIA has three teams. So each new graphics

1187
01:23:23,360 --> 01:23:30,320
core, each new graphics architecture has a different team that worked on it every

1188
01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:36,320
three cycles. That's how long it takes to develop a GPU. If NVIDIA only had one

1189
01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:38,239
team, they would have fallen behind AMD

1190
01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:43,040
years and years and years ago. And so that's makes sense. This is a business model that exists

1191
01:23:40,719 --> 01:23:47,360
outside of games. And uh I mean if they're going to jam a new Call of Duty

1192
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:49,920
down our throats every year, it might as well be one that was worked on for a

1193
01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:53,440
reasonable period of time. Honestly, I don't even mind the one-year

1194
01:23:52,159 --> 01:23:58,560
cycle. I've talked to different people about this before. I just It has to be

1195
01:23:56,080 --> 01:24:03,520
good. It has to be really good. And I haven't been I I was in like a love

1196
01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:06,800
affair with Call of Duty 4, the first Modern Warfare, and a lot of the Call of

1197
01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:10,400
Duties before that. And then it's kind of just gone down pretty hardcore

1198
01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:14,000
lately, and I have not been interested. If they can fix it with this three-year

1199
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:16,480
dev cycle, I'd more than happily go back to Call of Duty. I just hate it right

1200
01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:21,600
now. Right. Not into it at all. And I mean, you know what? That's a good

1201
01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:25,199
point because I have no problem with a month-long release cycle. The more

1202
01:24:23,679 --> 01:24:29,040
content you throw at me, the better. You look at something like episodic gaming,

1203
01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:31,600
like what Walking Dead's doing, like what Wolf Among Us is doing. So, that's

1204
01:24:30,719 --> 01:24:36,560
Telltale. I got no problem with that. Give me short content that's inexpensive and

1205
01:24:35,199 --> 01:24:39,679
throw it at me really often. People don't have an issue with that. It's just

1206
01:24:38,560 --> 01:24:44,400
something that doesn't meet their expectations. Speaking of which, I had

1207
01:24:42,239 --> 01:24:48,960
completely forgotten about Wolf Among Us and Ed's

1208
01:24:47,199 --> 01:24:50,960
out, so I am playing that tonight. I'm definitely playing that tonight. So

1209
01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:56,320
stoked. Um, then there's Steam Music. Yeah, Steam Music.

1210
01:24:54,719 --> 01:24:59,520
I'm less excited about this than I am about in home streaming.

1211
01:24:57,760 --> 01:25:02,480
Yeah, this isn't the most crazy thing, but it has it's going to work within

1212
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:09,600
home streaming. Yep. So, this was posted by Neuronite. So, this still ties in with the idea of

1213
01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:12,800
having a semi- lowowered device with almost no storage on one end and then

1214
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:18,480
having your beast machine on the other end because you can store all your music somewhere else in the house and then

1215
01:25:15,679 --> 01:25:22,080
stream from it. Um, there is basically nothing in terms of features right now

1216
01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:26,400
other than a play button that's almost a direct quote from one of their developers. Um, but they're taking

1217
01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:30,239
suggestions and they're planning on putting in a ton of new features. If you

1218
01:25:28,480 --> 01:25:34,080
want to sign up to be a part of the Steam Music beta, it's the exact same

1219
01:25:32,719 --> 01:25:40,320
way that you'd signed up for Steam inhome streaming. You got to go to the Steam Music community page and join the

1220
01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:43,520
community and then you will be in. Right now, it's only working with MP3s, but

1221
01:25:42,159 --> 01:25:46,560
that's not going to last for too long. They are already working on bringing in

1222
01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:51,199
a bunch more support for different formats. Um, like I said, it works

1223
01:25:48,960 --> 01:25:54,800
within home streaming. And the idea is that there will now be an in-game player

1224
01:25:53,040 --> 01:25:58,560
for your music. So you can change things without tabbing and you can it's it's

1225
01:25:57,360 --> 01:26:03,199
just going to be a lot more easily integrated. It's not a music store at

1226
01:26:01,199 --> 01:26:07,360
least as of yet. You can get game soundtracks through through Steam that

1227
01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:12,159
has existed for a very long time. Um but it's not a music store in itself. The

1228
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:16,560
idea is you point it towards a directory on your computer. It finds all the music

1229
01:26:14,159 --> 01:26:19,840
and then you can play it. That's pretty much it. And you can play it by using

1230
01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:24,639
like the Steam overlay and it's super easy and super integrated. It's It's not

1231
01:26:22,719 --> 01:26:30,800
the most exciting thing ever, but it's cool and I think it's a good move. I

1232
01:26:27,679 --> 01:26:32,719
think it makes a lot of sense. Um,

1233
01:26:30,800 --> 01:26:36,639
Lionus is looking up Goat Simulator. Well, yeah, we have to talk about this.

1234
01:26:34,639 --> 01:26:39,520
I had totally forgotten until someone mentioned it in the Twitch chat. I

1235
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:45,440
posted this on Facebook earlier this week, but this looks like the kind of

1236
01:26:42,480 --> 01:26:48,239
thing that if it's like five bucks, I would probably pay five bucks and play

1237
01:26:47,440 --> 01:26:53,280
it for a little bit. This also isn't the first time we've seen it. This is just the first time

1238
01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:58,120
we've seen uh this awesome demo. So, this is uh some alpha gameplay

1239
01:26:55,120 --> 01:26:58,120
footage.

1240
01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:11,760
And when you climb the ladder, the head just like goes like this. You can move

1241
01:27:08,239 --> 01:27:14,239
stuff around, climb into stuff. See, you

1242
01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:19,320
get the door for just doing things. Oh, his head is banging on the run.

1243
01:27:16,320 --> 01:27:19,320
Yeah,

1244
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:25,920
because this is a, you know, game mechanic that makes sense.

1245
01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:29,520
This better come with physics. Yeah.

1246
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:34,560
Oh. Oh, car plus ragd doll 64* 2.

1247
01:27:33,679 --> 01:27:39,280
What? So, okay. I think we're done here. Yeah.

1248
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:44,159
But, uh, there you go, guys. You can check that out. Goat Simulator first

1249
01:27:41,199 --> 01:27:48,960
alpha gameplay on YouTube. Uh, if you want to watch something that makes

1250
01:27:45,679 --> 01:27:51,360
absolutely no sense but just somehow

1251
01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:53,920
inten need to buy it. Yeah, I like really want it to be a

1252
01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:59,840
benchmarking video. How to build a rig that's perfectly optimized for Goat Simulator.

1253
01:27:57,440 --> 01:28:04,000
Yeah, we should actually do it. Um, for updates that haven't happened in quite a

1254
01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:08,800
while. Um, the folding team is doing quite well. We're in 52nd position

1255
01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:14,000
overall for folding, which is actually like kind of insane with how young the

1256
01:28:11,040 --> 01:28:17,440
team is. um and just cuz like the forum hasn't even existed for that long and

1257
01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:21,920
that's what drove the start of the uh Linus Tech Tips folding team. So that's

1258
01:28:19,199 --> 01:28:26,880
epic. Uh we should be within the top 50 in about a week which is also really

1259
01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:32,400
cool and we're number eight for active fold folders which is also huge and

1260
01:28:30,080 --> 01:28:36,560
extremely cool. Um, the Star Citizen team, which you should join, is I think

1261
01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:40,400
that we're we're number one in activity right now and we're number six in the

1262
01:28:38,159 --> 01:28:44,239
world for member count. And I think honestly within the next day or two,

1263
01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:48,400
we'll probably be number third, meaning we will be front paging for most members

1264
01:28:46,480 --> 01:28:51,920
and we will be on the top and front paging for activity, which is epic. So,

1265
01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:55,840
if you're looking for a team to join for Star Citizen, I would definitely join

1266
01:28:54,639 --> 01:29:02,000
us. It's funny you mentioned the um the

1267
01:28:58,159 --> 01:29:04,639
Steam music uh streaming because it's

1268
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:11,760
not in Big Picture on the Windows client, but I swear there was something

1269
01:29:07,199 --> 01:29:13,920
about video in Steam OS and I'd have to

1270
01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:18,560
fire up my Steam machine to to have a look at it again. But I wonder if uh

1271
01:29:16,800 --> 01:29:22,960
local video streaming is something that they're looking at adding the idea. Yeah. And if if you read

1272
01:29:21,040 --> 01:29:27,440
through the music thing, it plays into that very well because the guy's talking

1273
01:29:24,719 --> 01:29:29,679
about how they're they're trying to be they're trying to make it so that's all

1274
01:29:28,719 --> 01:29:33,440
you need. Yeah. You won't need anything else. So, so

1275
01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:36,239
supporting video makes a lot of sense. And it's probably not going to be a

1276
01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:40,000
thing where you can buy movies through the Steam store. It's probably going to

1277
01:29:37,840 --> 01:29:43,520
be a thing just like how music works, which is where it's like point at this

1278
01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:46,800
directory and then you can play things. Yeah, that makes a ton of sense. That's

1279
01:29:45,679 --> 01:29:50,880
probably how that's going to work. I really really hope that that comes because that would mean that I would

1280
01:29:49,440 --> 01:29:55,520
pretty much never need to leave Big Picture on my HTPC. Whereas right now I

1281
01:29:53,840 --> 01:30:00,320
was like, "Oh, okay. I guess I need like a video player if I'm going to legitimately replace my Windows

1282
01:29:58,320 --> 01:30:03,520
machine." Not happening yet. Speaking of my Windows machine, I discovered

1283
01:30:01,920 --> 01:30:08,960
something interesting about Steam and home streaming. And that is that even if

1284
01:30:05,920 --> 01:30:13,360
you have a pretty powerful CPU,

1285
01:30:08,960 --> 01:30:15,199
the CPUbased decoding is just not uh not

1286
01:30:13,360 --> 01:30:19,520
low latency enough. It's not good enough to have a 1080p or even really

1287
01:30:17,679 --> 01:30:24,080
stutter-free experience overall. I'm still using a Linfield

1288
01:30:22,320 --> 01:30:28,800
760 or something like that. No, seven. Crap.

1289
01:30:27,040 --> 01:30:36,000
I can't even remember anymore. Anyway, the point is that it was the last Intel

1290
01:30:32,960 --> 01:30:40,320
CPU that didn't have a hardwarebased

1291
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:42,000
H.264 decoder on the integrated GPU. So,

1292
01:30:40,320 --> 01:30:44,960
what I'm going to do uh this weekend is I'm going to take this graphics card

1293
01:30:43,440 --> 01:30:49,040
home because it's the only one that we have that's actually short enough to

1294
01:30:46,800 --> 01:30:53,280
install in my home theater PC. And I'm going to see if this makes the

1295
01:30:50,880 --> 01:30:57,600
difference between that PC being able to run in home streaming satisfactory or

1296
01:30:55,760 --> 01:31:02,000
doesn't. Cuz initially I thought it was power line network that was causing the

1297
01:30:59,679 --> 01:31:06,080
frame drops as much as 20 to 30% of my frames were were being lost. Wow. And

1298
01:31:04,080 --> 01:31:12,480
then I concluded that that wasn't it when I bought a 50 foot Cat 6 cable, ran

1299
01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:14,560
it down my stairs like across my hallway and I was like, "Oh,

1300
01:31:13,679 --> 01:31:20,800
oh, it's not fixed. Okay, I guess it's time to get a graphics card then." So, this

1301
01:31:18,639 --> 01:31:25,199
card has a built-in H.264 decoder. Actually, this is a Kepler card, so this

1302
01:31:22,239 --> 01:31:28,400
has an encoder as well. But there is so much more to be done within home

1303
01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:32,400
streaming. For one thing, they've added some more resolution, so you can stream

1304
01:31:29,920 --> 01:31:35,440
at 480p now. And I saw some interesting behavior when I was playing around with

1305
01:31:33,679 --> 01:31:38,639
it. I haven't really dug into it again since I did my video. And they've

1306
01:31:37,199 --> 01:31:42,639
changed some stuff since then, but I saw the resolution changing dynamically

1307
01:31:40,719 --> 01:31:46,560
during a stream rather than just frame rate resolution.

1308
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:51,760
Yeah. And and it was like 1600 by 900 or 1680 x 1050 or something like it was in

1309
01:31:49,120 --> 01:31:55,920
between. It was a tweener res. It wasn't 1920 and it wasn't 720. But maybe it was

1310
01:31:54,400 --> 01:32:00,639
like my eyes playing tricks on me. I got to play around with it some more. Uh,

1311
01:31:57,679 --> 01:32:04,800
but there's still so much more that they can do if they can figure out how to

1312
01:32:02,480 --> 01:32:08,880
take advantage of Kepler's onboard hardware encoder, which I don't believe

1313
01:32:07,360 --> 01:32:12,480
they're doing right now, and they can find a way to take advantage of, which

1314
01:32:11,280 --> 01:32:17,679
they've already done, the hardware decoders, we could be looking at a a low

1315
01:32:14,960 --> 01:32:20,960
enough latency experience that it will be kind of like sitting in front of it.

1316
01:32:19,760 --> 01:32:25,040
Uh, I mean, and with good enough hardware now, even you can get pretty

1317
01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:28,560
darn close, but we're just not quite there yet. Some people have raised

1318
01:32:26,719 --> 01:32:33,280
concerns about the California bill, saying that's the exactly the same as

1319
01:32:30,320 --> 01:32:38,320
what the um Ukraine government wants and how the Uncle Sam's going to have a kill

1320
01:32:34,800 --> 01:32:40,560
switch on your device. I don't think I'm

1321
01:32:38,320 --> 01:32:44,239
pretty sure it's 100% user controlled. Yeah. But I mean, it's I mentioned this

1322
01:32:42,560 --> 01:32:47,440
earlier in the show, too. Just because it's user controlled doesn't mean it's

1323
01:32:46,159 --> 01:32:50,719
doesn't mean that there isn't some sort of back door. And with all the stuff NSA

1324
01:32:49,360 --> 01:32:53,679
is doing lately, that is actually kind of freaky. Usually, I do think of those

1325
01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:58,719
things. Yeah. didn't really think about it this time. So, that's something definitely

1326
01:32:57,600 --> 01:33:03,840
really important to consider. And to those speculating that I'm wearing sunglasses because my wife beat

1327
01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:08,080
me, you are 100% correct. I knew you were going to say that.

1328
01:33:06,480 --> 01:33:12,159
Thanks for watching the show today, guys. If you tuned in late, the archive

1329
01:33:09,920 --> 01:33:15,280
will be up later. And nah, I changed my mind. Um, I think that's pretty much it.

1330
01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:22,880
Yeah. Peace out, guys. Thanks so much for watching. See you later.

1331
01:33:19,440 --> 01:33:25,040
Thanks for watching.

1332
01:33:22,880 --> 01:33:28,880
Are you sure you thanked them enough? Thank you for Thank you for listening to

1333
01:33:27,199 --> 01:33:32,080
me. Thank you for watching over top of this music that we love so

1334
01:33:31,280 --> 01:33:36,239
very much. I really like this music. I do too. You're not even listening to

1335
01:33:34,880 --> 01:33:40,000
it. I am. But I I'm vicariously listening to it

1336
01:33:38,560 --> 01:33:43,960
through you cuz I'm dancing. Yep.
