1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,120
that when you get your dog fixed, you actually limit his functionality.

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:13,519
But you are fixing the problem of the dog having that functionality.

3
00:00:10,639 --> 00:00:18,960
But you don't say get your dog's problem fixed. You say get your dog fixed.

4
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:25,519
What? Wow. That is some pretty spectacular uh

5
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:29,199
that is some pretty spectacular kudo sponsorship of the WAN Show.

6
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:35,000
I didn't I was on their network before. I didn't like it. So, so I guess there's that.

7
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,000
You guys,

8
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:41,840
anyways, not enough to actually do anything about it. It's not until I started paying your

9
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:47,520
phone bill that you're like moving up to like No, no, then a real carrier. Oh. Oh, no.

10
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:51,200
You were on a Telus at that point, which is just Kudos.

11
00:00:49,039 --> 00:00:53,920
Their service was fine because Kudos service was fine.

12
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:56,879
And at least Telus doesn't steal your information and sell it that we know of

13
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:03,120
yet. So, they probably do.

14
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:04,879
Welcome to the WAN Show. Yeah,

15
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:09,360
the WAN Show where I realized I was wearing my Squarespace shirt and today

16
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:12,640
wasn't. You know, every time up until now,

17
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,840
happened to be wearing my Squarespace shirt, they've been a sponsor. And so,

18
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:20,560
today it felt a little weird to be wearing my Squarespace shirt and and uh

19
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:24,479
and not actually have them be a sponsor. So, I actually threw on a shirt from one

20
00:01:22,479 --> 00:01:29,840
of our other sponsors today. But first, we have some topic callouts. So, Windows

21
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:36,079
10 versions have been revealed. That was versions, not virgins. Uh, the Oculus

22
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:38,159
Rift CV1 has been revealed. Oh, I should

23
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:40,880
have left that one for you. No, it's okay. There's actually not a

24
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:46,479
ton of information in that that we didn't already know, but there is some things that are very cool that we'll

25
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:50,240
talk about in depth. Anyways, FTC rules in favor of direct to consumer car

26
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:52,000
sales. It's not the end of the whole equation, but we'll talk about that

27
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:58,960
later. It's your birthday, Elon Musk. It's not. Yeah, it's not today. Anyways,

28
00:01:56,479 --> 00:02:00,240
self-driving cars don't crash unless

29
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,560
apparently other people crash into them. Yeah, because that's

30
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:08,319
which is a crash. Yes, technically. So, they actually do

31
00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:12,879
crash. They just don't cause the crash. Brandon Lee, can you close the door?

32
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:18,080
And all of you viewers, can you hang on for a minute while we roll the intro?

33
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:23,879
Do I need to ask their permission to roll our intro? Yes.

34
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,200
No,

35
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:41,760
we have sponsors today. Linda,

36
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:46,640
we really need to get that fixed. Linda, take a linda.com course to show

37
00:02:44,959 --> 00:02:51,840
you how to fix our intro cuz ours sucks and you can do it for us. Yeah, they have Photoshop tutorials.

38
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:55,599
I do. Fresh books. Wait a minute. Is that right? Yeah,

39
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:59,800
that's right. That's not right. Is that right?

40
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,800
Um,

41
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:06,800
yeah, it is. And Luc

42
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:10,720
10% with offer code light. Yes. You know what I should do? I'm

43
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:14,640
going to put this back at the top so you could learn skills proactively this time.

44
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:18,159
Wow. See that? Every time we switch to that

45
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:24,480
scene. The problem is though that it's just not going to work. It might. Hold on.

46
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,760
But we have to wait for the end of the show. Yeah, that's true. We'll wait till the end. We'll

47
00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:31,840
So you could you could learn skills with linda.com, manage your business with Fresh Books, and then spend your money

48
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:36,720
on buying Loot Crate stuff because it's cool. People are refusing to help us with it.

49
00:03:34,959 --> 00:03:40,400
And they're saying buckets, by the way. So it was true.

50
00:03:38,239 --> 00:03:45,519
It It happened. It happened. The buckets are real. All right, so let's go ahead

51
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:49,760
and uh let's move in right into our first topic. Actually,

52
00:03:46,959 --> 00:03:53,920
we need to cover these builds. Oh, are there build logs? There have

53
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:58,400
been build logs for like 3 weeks and we just keep on just going right

54
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:03,360
over top of them straight to the topic. Your level of incompetence is inspiring.

55
00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:05,360
But it's always been right there. I did not.

56
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:11,360
You always pick the first topic and you always scroll right over it. I did not see them

57
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:12,799
for three weeks.

58
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:20,720
That is most excellent, sir. That's amazing. All right. So, the first one we've got

59
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:22,560
is Lauram. Lauramum. Lauram. This is

60
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,280
This is the voters's pick. All right. Nor a momentum.

61
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,199
This is the voters's pick. The voters picked it.

62
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,759
Kind of like their noses. Oh,

63
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,240
it's okay to pick your nose. Sometimes you get like paint in there.

64
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:41,600
Paint and crayons. All right, so let's go ahead. Lots of water cooling. A 4770K, a

65
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:47,520
Z87i Pro, 16 gigs of Dominator platinum memory, an R9290 graphics card, and ooh,

66
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:49,759
that is looking good already. Nice small

67
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:53,840
ITX board. You got the graphics card presumably laid out somewhere where

68
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:56,320
we're going to get a PCI Express um extension going on.

69
00:04:55,199 --> 00:05:02,400
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. A triple radiator. Totally

70
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:07,440
flat build. I'm liking it. I'm kind of into that. You can ask my wife. Um

71
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:11,759
so, we've got a nice big reservoir Samsung SSD.

72
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:15,039
I am loving the coloration. This is a LAN rig, so you can take it to

73
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:18,000
a land and have it look super cool. That is really cool. doesn't take up a

74
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,919
lot of space and you can kind of pick the whole thing up like a like like a picture frame almost.

75
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:26,320
And especially out of land if you could just put this like behind your monitor or even beside your going to save a lot

76
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:30,320
of space compared to a giant tower. Look at that. Cable management on the back is almost as good as the front.

77
00:05:29,039 --> 00:05:35,120
That is outstanding. Really cool. All right, so let's do our second. And

78
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:43,120
this was the staff pick if I recall correctly. Oh balls. Yep. This is the NVMK2

79
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:45,199
which borrowed inspiration from Charles

80
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:49,759
um at least as far as the name was concerned but not the loading of the website which

81
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:54,400
is still going. Yeah, this website doesn't load very quickly

82
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:59,280
although it works unlike the old system. So the the mods picked this one. It's by

83
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:04,080
Pokemon Kid. Here's some progress shots. I love this.

84
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:09,600
This is like the technique for leak testing your loop. Get that paper towel

85
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:16,479
in there and make sure that she ain't uh she ain't leaking. All right. Case Labs

86
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:18,880
Mercury S8. Two GTX 770s, 1200i power

87
00:06:16,479 --> 00:06:23,680
supply, 4770K processor, and water cooling. Water cooling. Water

88
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:27,680
cooling. Some more in progress shots. Liking that reservoir placement. Look at

89
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,080
that. It's like all water cooling. There's actually more water cooling than

90
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:38,479
case. Yeah, you know a build is going to be good when it starts. Oo, that's sick.

91
00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:41,520
I had already seen these. I snuck ahead. That is absolutely disgusting. I love

92
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:47,199
it. In a good way. Yeah, that is that is a really tight

93
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:51,520
looks like extremely attack attractive vile virus.

94
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:52,960
Yeah, I am I am really liking that. One

95
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:57,919
of the challenges when you place your reservoir horizontally like this is

96
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:01,199
keeping the air from getting sucked back into the one side. So, I'm guessing he's

97
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:07,199
probably or she has probably had to do something about flow rates to keep them

98
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,880
from actually being too high uh to keep

99
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:12,080
that from being an issue. Mind you, it looks like the system's actually powered

100
00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:15,520
off right now because there's no way that would be just kind of sitting there

101
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:20,800
like that if the system was actually on. So, very, very nice little rig. All

102
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:28,080
right, so why don't we move into our first topic of the day? AMD does not

103
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:33,759
want to be known as the cheaper solution anymore. And the original poster here is

104
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:36,880
Zapion. And the original article here is from Ars Technica.

105
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:41,120
This was supposed to be covered last week for those of you that may be confused.

106
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:46,400
Actually, we missed a couple AMD things last week. So, they launched a new APU.

107
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:52,639
It's totally unexceptional. It's actually really funny. I was saying on

108
00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:54,960
Twitter that um that I didn't have what

109
00:07:52,639 --> 00:08:01,520
was it I tweeted about why someone accused us of only covering Intel and uh

110
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:06,160
I kind of went well we cover AMD graphics cards. In fact, we went as far

111
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:08,400
as to borrow an R9295X2 back.

112
00:08:06,479 --> 00:08:11,840
We had to borrow a fair number of them. No, I think that's the only one we had

113
00:08:09,919 --> 00:08:15,680
to Oh, we had to borrow a low-end card once. I think we borrowed two.

114
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:18,639
And the the one that came in the case, but not the most recent one.

115
00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:24,000
Yeah, that was that was the one we borrowed. Oh, there's one more. We only had it I

116
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:28,240
think we borrowed it from NCX. Oh, the 6990 way back in the day. So,

117
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:32,640
there's a few. All right. So, there's a few that we've had to borrow and I was

118
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:37,120
like, "Okay, so like that's pretty much it." I mean, are we supposed to do

119
00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:39,200
reviews of R9280X's all day? There's

120
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:42,159
they're 7970s. There's there's nothing different about them. Yeah, we've been

121
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:46,640
doing the same review for years. Exactly. So, what's the point? And as

122
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:49,839
far as the CPU side goes, I I said something along the lines of they

123
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:55,120
haven't released a new performance CPU in like 3 years. And I was estimating. I

124
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:59,680
think it's been longer than that. So, I had a couple people kind of give me

125
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:04,480
crap, including uh my buddy over at a non techch Ian Katrris, who was like,

126
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:07,120
"Well, actually, I'm finishing up on an

127
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:10,560
AMD APU review right now along with some new testing methodology. It's actually

128
00:09:09,279 --> 00:09:16,240
it's actually a really interesting article because he tries to take a bit

129
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,839
of a different approach to the way that

130
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:23,120
he's to the way that he's benchmarking the chip um and get a more complete

131
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:29,200
picture. So you guys can check that out there, the A87650K

132
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:34,640
APU review, but I would point out to Dr. Ian Katrris that that's an APU review

133
00:09:31,839 --> 00:09:40,240
and I specifically said AMD hasn't released a new interesting CPU in quite

134
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:42,800
some time. So, bum. Uh, I also got a uh

135
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:48,000
I also got an email actually from one of AMD's marketing folks kind of asking if

136
00:09:45,839 --> 00:09:52,240
I needed the hookup to get this thing. And I kind of went, actually, it's okay.

137
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:55,440
I'm going to read Dr. Cutras' review and then I'm going to find out if we should

138
00:09:53,839 --> 00:09:59,120
be making a bunch of videos about this. And it turns out that it is uh once

139
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:04,959
again not exceptional. Uh, great performance with onboard graphics. APUs

140
00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:10,480
from AMD are great for entry-level gaming.

141
00:10:06,959 --> 00:10:13,040
Also, they're a good value um at the low

142
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:17,600
end because they're cheaper and they perform okay. So, let's go back to that

143
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:21,600
RS Technica article here. AMD doesn't want to be known as the cheaper

144
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:27,279
solution. We'll refocus on performance, which really raises the question. Did

145
00:10:24,399 --> 00:10:29,760
they ever deemphasize performance? It never felt like it.

146
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,040
It the community kind of did in their

147
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:38,880
direction. They did stop developing CPUs. They did

148
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:41,920
shift their strategy towards APUs, which we knew were going to be on a lower-end

149
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:46,959
socket. They were going to have fewer cores. But did they do that because they

150
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:50,959
wanted to, or did they do that because they couldn't build a competitive CPU

151
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:53,600
for years to the point where they weren't making enough margin on them and

152
00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:59,120
they needed to find a different way to compete? and implementing the graphics

153
00:10:56,959 --> 00:11:02,880
IP that they acquired and have continued to develop since the ATI acquisition was

154
00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:09,279
the way that they were able to make something that fits in a socket that's competitive in some meaningful way. I

155
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:11,040
mean, I I'm glad to hear them say this,

156
00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:16,560
but the thing that frustrates me, and this is a story that I've never told

157
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:19,120
publicly, is it goes all the way back to

158
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:25,360
the launch of the Phenom, whatever it was, 920 and 940. So, this is this is

159
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:31,920
how far this goes back. Was that the Was that the Phenom one or was that Phenom

160
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:33,839
2? Uh, Phenom 920. I think that was the

161
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:37,360
original. No, that's a Phenom. Phenom 2 is a 920. What were the original Phenom

162
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:46,240
ones? Just Yeah, there you go. Phenom AMD Phenom. Okay. Well, the 920

163
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:47,920
and 940 were one of them. Um 8000

164
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:52,959
series. Hold on. Hold on. I'm going somewhere important with this. Uh,

165
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:56,640
Phantom X4. I'm just fascinated at how long you can delay a sentence

166
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,320
essentially. Oh, thank you. It's quite good. List of AMD Phenom microprocessors. Here

167
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:05,600
we go. You're getting there. I'm on I'm on the Wikipedia right now,

168
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:08,160
you guys. I am like learning some stuff like live research. We should have a camera

169
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:14,000
over your shoulder mid midflight here.

170
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:15,839
So yes, that was the one that I was that

171
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:21,040
I was super that I was super butthard about was the 920 and the 940 because

172
00:12:18,959 --> 00:12:25,120
and it was probably the fault of like our AMD sales guy. I was working at NCX

173
00:12:23,519 --> 00:12:28,959
at the time, so I didn't have like a PR contact. I just had like a sales guy um

174
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:32,880
who was like, "Yeah, we're going to reinvigorate the sales. It's going to be

175
00:12:30,959 --> 00:12:38,079
awesome." So, um, in those days I I don't even

176
00:12:35,839 --> 00:12:42,880
think, no, I wasn't making videos yet, but I would still because I was in

177
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:46,320
charge of system building stuff at NCIX, I would still get my hands on all the

178
00:12:44,399 --> 00:12:48,959
cool stuff and I would like validate it, right? Like I would tinker with it and

179
00:12:47,839 --> 00:12:53,519
I'd be like, "Oh yeah, is this like really good? Is this really fast? How high can we overclock it? Whatever

180
00:12:52,079 --> 00:13:02,480
else?" And I would sometimes post articles on hardware connects, for example, just as a guest writer. And so

181
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:05,680
I took home the 920 and the 940 and I

182
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:07,600
ended up pulling an allnighter because I

183
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:12,399
ran them through the paces. And at that time it would have been up against what

184
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:14,959
the E6600 or Q6600 or what whatever was

185
00:13:12,399 --> 00:13:20,959
the relevant Intel stuff in those days. And it it it was like terrible and and I

186
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:25,760
and I couldn't overclock it worth a damn. And I was like, "Oh no, I must be

187
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,959
doing something wrong. It's already 1:00 in the morning. I can't even call anyone

188
00:13:27,279 --> 00:13:33,200
and ask for help and the embargo is in the morning and I want to, you know, submit this for hardware connects

189
00:13:31,839 --> 00:13:37,440
because I've got access to this hardware and the embargo is coming up. And it's

190
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:41,600
like I tested and tested and tested and in the morning I got up and everyone

191
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:45,279
else's review went up and the thing didn't perform very well and I was like

192
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:49,519
I sat here trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. I tried every memory

193
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:53,680
setting. I tried every CPU setting. I tried and it turned out that it just

194
00:13:51,279 --> 00:13:56,720
wasn't very good. And so I want someone to log how many times

195
00:13:55,120 --> 00:14:00,000
he's told that story on stream. I don't think I have told that story before on stream. Oh well, whatever. I

196
00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:05,199
don't care. At least your third. I don't care. You're turning into like the old man.

197
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:09,519
Every time you see him, he tells the same story. Wow.

198
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:13,760
Hey, Lionus. Do you remember that story about that old phenom that that sales

199
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:18,320
guy told you some stuff about? Well, back in the day, he told me it was going

200
00:14:15,839 --> 00:14:22,880
to be one heck of a ripper. and I took it home and I tried and I tried and I

201
00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:26,720
tried and I just couldn't get it to go. So, finally I went to bed and woke up in

202
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:32,160
the morning and then everybody else couldn't get it to go and I was upset.

203
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:36,160
It was disappointing. So, anyway, the

204
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:38,320
point of the story is AMD has told me

205
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:41,279
whether it was an individual's fault or company messaging or whatever else that

206
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:45,680
they're going to build a high performance CPU for a long time and they

207
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:51,519
haven't done it. So, I'm just a little jaded. And

208
00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:52,880
I want Zen to be awesome. Yeah, I do.

209
00:14:52,079 --> 00:14:57,040
I completely agree. If Zen is awesome, I win because I get

210
00:14:55,839 --> 00:15:04,000
to make videos about is awesome. Everyone wins. You guys win because maybe Intel will

211
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:10,639
get the kick in the pants that they need to cuz I'm sure that Intel can make a

212
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:12,480
higher performance CPU like tomorrow.

213
00:15:10,639 --> 00:15:18,079
I'm sure they can make a higher performance consumer CPU, but they don't

214
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:19,920
have to. Instead, they're taking that

215
00:15:18,079 --> 00:15:24,079
sort of one-sizefits-all approach where they're going, "Okay, so let's build

216
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:28,560
like really small CPU cores with lower complexity and let's put like 18 of them

217
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:33,360
under a single chip for servers and then let's put like a couple of them

218
00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:38,480
and like a really great graphics core for like notebooks." And then well I I

219
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:45,839
don't know maybe the desktop guys they can like have this one and

220
00:15:40,959 --> 00:15:50,240
so having like a a you know a 6970K or a

221
00:15:45,839 --> 00:15:50,800
7970K that just rips would be amazing.

222
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:58,240
Um and they release a 6969K. Do you think the internet would just explode?

223
00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:01,040
Yes, I do. There is no way a

224
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:04,079
conservative company like Intel would ever do that.

225
00:16:02,399 --> 00:16:08,639
That would be amazing though. Anyways, yeah, they they I really hope Zans can.

226
00:16:06,399 --> 00:16:13,040
So, at their analyst day, the company said they're no longer competing in a

227
00:16:10,959 --> 00:16:16,480
race to the bottom, which is uh Whoops. Which makes sense because their process

228
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:20,320
is more expensive to manufacture anyways. So, they're trying to be the

229
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,199
cheaper solution while it costs them more money to make it. Uh it's not going

230
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:28,240
to work out very well. Yep. That's going to be a problem. Um

231
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:32,000
CEO Dr. Lisa Sue says it's extremely important to ensure that we have

232
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:36,560
competitive high performance cores. uh we have reduced our low-end PC exposure

233
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:40,480
goes on to state they are an x86 company through and through and will be focusing

234
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:44,240
on their opportunity to lead in that area and I think it is quite the

235
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:50,880
opportunity I mean Intel for all the innovation that they do and there's a

236
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:52,959
lot I mean stuff like you know um rapid

237
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:56,320
start technology you know the fact that the computer turns on really fast that

238
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:59,839
doesn't show up on a benchmark score but it makes the experience of using it

239
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:02,399
better and and that kind of stuff is great but in terms of raw performance

240
00:17:01,199 --> 00:17:09,439
performance like single threaded performance. It's been like that incremental 6 to 8% for like four

241
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:15,280
freaking years now, giving AMD once again an opportunity to step in and uh

242
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:20,559
maybe kick some butt. So, Zen will be launching first as a new series of FX

243
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:24,640
chips. They're promising a 40% increase in instructions per clock, particularly

244
00:17:23,039 --> 00:17:32,240
from switching to a new process node, although they haven't said what it is yet. It's going to have a new socket AM4

245
00:17:28,799 --> 00:17:36,240
about bloody time which will introduce

246
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:37,919
uh DDR4 as well as I mean hopefully PCI

247
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:42,720
Express. They don't even support PCI Express 3 on their current motherboards.

248
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:45,200
Like AMD knows that their CPU enthusiast

249
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:48,080
platform makes no sense. They know this. They're not even they're not even giving

250
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:52,960
us a new chipset to put high performance graphics cards in it because apparently they don't think it's worth the effort.

251
00:17:51,039 --> 00:17:57,919
Um I mean it's sad but that's what it is.

252
00:17:55,200 --> 00:18:02,640
They even like they they even make high performance PCI Express 3.0 graphics

253
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:06,080
cards and internally I'm sure someone at some point has put up their hand on

254
00:18:04,559 --> 00:18:10,160
guys shouldn't you be able to do like the whole solution thing like nah and

255
00:18:08,559 --> 00:18:16,240
like they try but it hasn't been a compelling story for a long time. Um so

256
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:22,080
I'm excited as as excited as I can let myself be but I just am you know other

257
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:25,760
than saying I really want it to I really want it to happen. And it's not going to

258
00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:29,600
be till 2016 either way. Um I I don't like rumors anyways, let alone

259
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:33,760
when there's nothing really behind them and it's just someone saying, "I want to do this." Um so

260
00:18:32,559 --> 00:18:39,280
good for you, buddy. Yeah, that's basically what I'm getting out of this. I'm just going to wait. If

261
00:18:37,039 --> 00:18:42,799
it's awesome, then that's super good and I think it will help all the consumers

262
00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:48,480
and the industry as a whole. And if it's not awesome, I won't be that surprised

263
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:52,799
and that will super suck because that would just hurt things.

264
00:18:51,039 --> 00:18:57,280
Yeah. So much more. Speaking of things that hurt, this was

265
00:18:54,720 --> 00:19:03,679
posted by 907 Rider and the original source is Lily. Camera. Something you

266
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:09,440
would normally think would hurt a camera. Just taking it and throwing it

267
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:14,640
doesn't hurt this bad boy. Now, we've seen this in certain drones, just

268
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:18,880
not like consumer drones. This is a pre-order, and we are not

269
00:19:16,799 --> 00:19:23,679
suggesting that you pre-order it because Oops. There is a lot of room for this

270
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:26,960
thing to totally suck donkey balls. Oh yeah.

271
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:30,080
But these demos that they show are pretty freaking impressive.

272
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:35,120
So cool. So basically, uh you can set it to

273
00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:40,000
track. So you throw and it just takes off. And then you can set it to follow

274
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:43,360
or lead a particular subject. So here it is following this guy. Yeah, man. That's

275
00:19:42,799 --> 00:19:47,919
incredible. You control it with like a thing that you wear. So, you tell it to there's

276
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:53,679
buttons for like, okay, I want it to follow or do whatever. Um, there's another really cool one

277
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:59,760
where they uh here, where is it? Yeah, here we go. So, this guy just like

278
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:03,760
hardcore is in sitting in his canoe and you kind of go, "Oh, well, hey, how can

279
00:20:01,039 --> 00:20:08,320
you?" Oh, no. Just what? What? Chucks it in the Oh, takes off from the water. Did

280
00:20:05,919 --> 00:20:11,200
you just say amphibious takeoff? Are you freaking for real?

281
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:15,360
That's pretty freaking cool. I'm assuming it's going to have to be fairly calm. It was pretty calm there and

282
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:19,120
whatnot, but that's still really cool. That's incredible. I don't know if I'd bother. I'd probably

283
00:20:17,919 --> 00:20:26,880
just throw it up in the air instead of throwing it in the water, but it's cool that it can do that.

284
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:29,520
So, it does 1080p uh 60fps or 720p 120

285
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:33,200
FPS slow-mo, 12 megapixel stills, has a 20-minute flight time, and they're

286
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:36,400
pitching it as compact enough that you can throw in your backpack and wear the

287
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:40,159
controller on your wrist, which is waterproof as well, and is pretty much

288
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:44,799
off to the races. It's not cheap. I think they want $1,000 for it once it's

289
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:49,120
out. And the pre-order is like 550. But holy smack, that looks awesome.

290
00:20:47,679 --> 00:20:52,080
That looks really, really, really cool. I'm excited for it. That's That's one

291
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:55,120
that I legitimately think is cool because the lack of setup time. You

292
00:20:54,000 --> 00:21:00,799
don't need your phone or anything like that. It's something on your wrist. So the GoProers, like some guy on his

293
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:05,200
mountain bike could just all of a sudden like if he strapped it to his back instead of

294
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:08,799
a bag could just grab it, whip it out forward, and then go, and it's not going

295
00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:13,280
to be a big deal. It's it's it's the like GoPro catch it as you're going

296
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:16,720
mentality instead of this like okay you probably need a dedicated dude

297
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:20,320
controlling the drone and all this kind of crap like follow me go and then do

298
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:26,159
whatever you want and like Burkel's been showing me some of the Cuz he's into mountain biking in

299
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:30,080
particular and he's been showing me some of the techniques involved in getting

300
00:21:27,919 --> 00:21:33,679
some of the footage that as not a filming guy I just kind of take for

301
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,559
granted like oh yeah you know the camera followed along the bike well hold on a

302
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:39,760
second that's actually moving really asked, "How are they doing this

303
00:21:38,159 --> 00:21:44,080
exactly?" And they will, what they'll do is they'll like they'll map out a path

304
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:50,159
for the bike and a path for a guy with a freaking gimbal rig to like book it down

305
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:54,320
like like people could die running alongside these bikes filming them going

306
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:58,720
down the sides of mountains. Like this is probably a better solution. No,

307
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:03,120
you're not going to get that same level of of cinematic footage, but for what

308
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:07,200
99.9% of people are going to be interested in. And this means that it'll get better.

309
00:22:06,159 --> 00:22:11,600
This looks very cool. Eventually, you'll have better battery life. Eventually, you'll get things that

310
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,760
will be faster so they can follow or lead better and all that kind of stuff.

311
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:20,400
Absolutely. So, yeah. Next up from Boou, the original article

312
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:26,080
here is from Anantech and Intel has a new lineup of SSDs aimed at data centers

313
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:31,039
coming. These are the S3510. And this is kind of a funny one to me

314
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:37,360
because you look at Intel's push even on the consumer side towards NVMe and

315
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:40,799
abandoning the SATA standard and you

316
00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:42,880
kind of go, what's the agenda here? And

317
00:22:40,799 --> 00:22:47,120
I'm not that surprised because okay, to move to NVMe, that's a

318
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,760
huge platform change for your entire data center. People are still going to

319
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:55,200
be interested in upgrading their drives without upgrading every single one of their server platforms.

320
00:22:53,919 --> 00:22:59,919
That was what I was going to say, but you did it better actually. Oh, you I thought you were attacking the

321
00:22:58,559 --> 00:23:04,960
idea that it was coming out and I was like, what? No, no, still makes sense.

322
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:08,159
So, this is not a particularly high performance drive, which is a really

323
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:12,880
interesting thing. And it also features 16 nmter flash. So, this is the first

324
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:17,039
time that Intel has used that in actually I think that's the first time

325
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:22,000
Intel's used 16 nmter flash. That's very interesting. So, not particularly

326
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:27,039
amazing performance. Look at those sequential right speeds, particularly at

327
00:23:23,919 --> 00:23:28,640
the low-end capacities. 260 megabytes

328
00:23:27,039 --> 00:23:35,200
per second. They're not even saturating SATA 3. But what these drives are about

329
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:40,400
is the endurance and the cost. So, Intel's trying to deliver something that

330
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:44,720
is validated and reliable and is going to last for a long time, but is going to

331
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:50,480
be cheap for those data centers that are not looking to roll out a whack ton of

332
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:57,039
PCI Expressbased SSDs and completely rebuild everything. So, these are um

333
00:23:54,480 --> 00:24:02,400
just yeah, they are what they are. They support 256-bit encryption

334
00:23:59,919 --> 00:24:07,039
and they include uh full power loss protection that protects all data

335
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:10,880
including in-flight user rights in the event of a sudden power loss

336
00:24:09,039 --> 00:24:18,640
which is actually funny. Like it's funny to me enterprise SSDs seem to feature

337
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:21,679
this technology more so than consumer

338
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:23,679
grade SSDs. But consider for a moment

339
00:24:21,679 --> 00:24:31,279
that at an enter in an enterprise environment, you're going to have

340
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:33,120
battery backups on your controller cards

341
00:24:31,279 --> 00:24:38,000
in the event of like a raid or something like that. You're usually going to have

342
00:24:35,279 --> 00:24:41,520
I I mean any decent data center is going to have a battery backup

343
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:49,679
or generator, whatever. Yeah. U so so not maybe not necessarily per

344
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:51,120
rack but um

345
00:24:49,679 --> 00:24:55,039
there will be there will be something for each kind of you know set of of of

346
00:24:54,320 --> 00:25:00,240
systems. Every big data center I've been to which isn't a ton but every big data center

347
00:24:58,559 --> 00:25:02,400
I've been to has that like giant generator block just outside the

348
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,799
building and on top of that they're going to have backup power for the entire building.

349
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:12,400
Yeah. What are the odds of an unexpected power loss? But then again, I mean, I guess

350
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:18,080
layers of protection compared to an an end user who's usually not using a UPS,

351
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:21,919
who's usually like super screwed in that situation.

352
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:25,919
Oh well. Crap. I feel like a complete idiot. I I

353
00:25:24,159 --> 00:25:30,000
completely lost the word for the thing the racks go into

354
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:33,600
while I was trying to do that thing. The thing the racks go? Yeah, the one we have downstairs.

355
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:40,960
It's just a rack, is it not? No. Server rack. No, no, no, A rack is a rack and then

356
00:25:37,039 --> 00:25:45,640
the thing it goes into. God dang it.

357
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,640
Why? Why can't I remember remember this?

358
00:25:45,679 --> 00:25:53,200
Now I'm going crazy. Uh

359
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:56,960
I hate I hate cabinet. Oh jeez. I couldn't find the word for

360
00:25:55,679 --> 00:26:02,080
cabinet while I was doing that. I know what a cabinet is. Are they all technically cabinets?

361
00:25:59,919 --> 00:26:06,799
Not necessarily, but racks go in cabinets.

362
00:26:03,919 --> 00:26:08,400
Yeah, but you can have a a rack that isn't a cabinet.

363
00:26:07,919 --> 00:26:14,080
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cuz a No, no. Like a like a Yes. You could just have

364
00:26:12,799 --> 00:26:17,440
Right. You could just have a rack. You could just have a rack. You don't have to have the

365
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:24,159
And you could just have a rack mount thing and there could be nothing around it. But no, I was thinking of what they

366
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:26,640
go inside cuz on a per cabinet basis, you might have a large GPS unit.

367
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,159
Yeah. Yeah. In like the bottom of each one or something along those lines. That's what

368
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:35,919
I was going for. I can't believe I could. I just I hate it when I can't find the word and I'm live.

369
00:26:34,799 --> 00:26:40,720
Drives me crazy. Yeah. It's cuz it's not universal cuz

370
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:44,960
you can have just a rag. I don't know. Anyways,

371
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:49,760
yeah. Yeah. Sorry, I just I had an itch there. Um,

372
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:52,480
the long life of AOL

373
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:58,640
is over. You will never receive another AOL CD in the mail. Original article

374
00:26:56,159 --> 00:27:03,200
here is from the Wall Street Wall Street Journal.

375
00:26:59,679 --> 00:27:05,679
Verizon agrees to buy AOL for No, I'm

376
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:09,120
not subscribing now. Go. There is no exit.

377
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:14,240
Does this come up every time you mouse over it? No, it doesn't. Okay, it goes

378
00:27:11,279 --> 00:27:17,520
away. Um, Verizon agrees to buy AOL for $4.4

379
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:22,320
billion. They are predominantly interested in the

380
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:29,200
technology that AOL has been building for online video ad distribution. Um

381
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:33,919
it's not like they don't have Yeah, I I know. Um it's not like they don't have

382
00:27:31,679 --> 00:27:38,000
other things going on. So subscription business, there's a content business.

383
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:42,000
What What content does AOL? I don't know who's still doing AOL

384
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:47,840
subscriptions. I don't know if you Google this. What

385
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:50,159
does AOL even do?

386
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:54,320
I haven't actually known for for years. Why and how does AOL still exist? The

387
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:58,159
first the first thing that comes up. This is great. So, let's find out

388
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:01,600
because I'm genuinely curious. I didn't uh I should have done this before the

389
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:05,760
show, but I'm just going to do it now. I saw the financial results for AOL in the

390
00:28:03,679 --> 00:28:10,000
business section today. And the this is from 2012, and the first thing that came

391
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:17,200
to mind was AOL. Who the heck is using AOL? Uh posted 577 million in revenue

392
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:20,640
for the fourth quarter of 2011. And

393
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:23,360
Um, old people and Oh, two answers here

394
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:28,240
reminded me of two reasons why AOL is still alive. Old people and yellow pages

395
00:28:25,120 --> 00:28:30,159
piled up in condo basement.

396
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:34,240
Ah, system did

397
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:38,640
not good. And has Google ads on it. What? I thought they were an ad serving

398
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:41,520
platform. There's a Google ad on the freaking AOL website.

399
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:46,320
So, this is still people talking about them as an ISP.

400
00:28:43,679 --> 00:28:47,279
Is anyone still on AOL? Let's straw pull this.

401
00:28:46,799 --> 00:28:53,520
Yeah, straw poll this. Uh, so are you or do

402
00:28:51,279 --> 00:28:56,480
you know anyone? Someone in the chat just said 2 million

403
00:28:55,120 --> 00:29:00,799
dialup customers. Okay. Okay. Okay. Hold on. Hold on. I

404
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:10,480
No, I want I want a percentage. Are you or do you know anyone still using AOL?

405
00:29:05,039 --> 00:29:12,080
Uh, yes, no. And um uh I guess yogurt

406
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:18,080
would be a an excellent food. What type of yogurt? Third choice. Oh uh yogurt. Um I'm going

407
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:21,279
to go with pomegranate. Cool.

408
00:29:20,159 --> 00:29:24,960
Actually, I might have made that too appealing. Banana.

409
00:29:23,919 --> 00:29:30,080
Banana yogurt is awesome. Banana yogurt. I've never had that. It sounds very bland.

410
00:29:27,679 --> 00:29:34,880
It has the It has that sort of fuzzy taste of banana yogurt. Okay.

411
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:39,679
Except it's kind of a slime that you put in your mouth. I would just eat a

412
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:43,600
banana. I can't I can't say that for all. Like I I I wouldn't just eat a

413
00:29:41,919 --> 00:29:46,799
pomegranate if I wanted pomegranate yogurt, but I would just eat a banana if

414
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:50,559
I wanted banana yogurt, right? Yeah. Makes perfect sense to me

415
00:29:49,039 --> 00:29:56,880
cuz like it's already a mush. I know. You chew it one time

416
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,840
and it's pretty much yogurt.

417
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:03,919
That's ridiculous. So, a tiny 15% of you are saying you or

418
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:06,720
someone you know is still using AOL. So, I think that's mostly going to be dialup

419
00:30:05,679 --> 00:30:11,440
stuff. A bunch of people in the chat said dialup, and that actually does kind of make sense. Yeah, that makes that makes a ton. Who

420
00:30:09,679 --> 00:30:14,480
else are you going to get dialup from? I I honestly have no idea.

421
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:18,799
I don't even know of any dialup providers in BC.

422
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:21,279
BC. I I'm sure there is obviously, but maybe Telus. Would Telus do it?

423
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:26,240
I have no idea. It's not on their website, at least not prominently. But then you have to think of like farm

424
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:31,360
farm net. Oh, yeah. No, like I Oh, I get it. I get that people have it. I just don't know

425
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:35,600
who they're getting it from. Yeah. AOL apparently

426
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:39,279
AOL owns N Gadget. What?

427
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,679
Well, there you go. So that's that would be the media that would be the content

428
00:30:40,799 --> 00:30:48,240
business. Um so so there there you go. Um their

429
00:30:44,559 --> 00:30:50,240
current CEO will still be leading AOL's

430
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:56,240
operations, but the acquisition is a done deal. And um Verizon said it has

431
00:30:54,320 --> 00:31:00,720
plans to launch a video service focused on mobile devices featuring shorter

432
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:05,520
snippets rather than 30 or 60-minute shows in the summer. I think it's called

433
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:08,399
YouTube Verizon. I think it exists. But hey,

434
00:31:05,919 --> 00:31:10,799
shorter snippets. So like everything YouTube

435
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:14,240
there's a smaller even shorter snippet one. Vine. Yeah.

436
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:17,039
Uh Instagram has video. But hey, I think I

437
00:31:15,679 --> 00:31:21,840
Snapchat. Yeah, there's a lot of content developer. not

438
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:25,679
content developer like I don't know there's a lot of stuff on Snapchat now

439
00:31:23,679 --> 00:31:29,440
you can watch like sports events and things and whatever one that you guys build I'm

440
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:34,000
glad that the ads will be integrated well and right from the beginning good

441
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:39,200
job Verizon I love you guys um so let's go ahead and move on to Google's

442
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:43,120
selfdriving cars oh dang it so this was

443
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:44,960
posted by Suika Sua Suika

444
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:51,120
and the previous one was from Alex goes hi and the original article here is from

445
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:54,880
the verge.com so Google is expanding

446
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:57,440
their testing um because their

447
00:31:54,880 --> 00:32:02,559
self-driving cars have been in 11 accidents, but none, according to

448
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:05,039
Google, were the fault of the self-driving car.

449
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:10,480
Yeah, very interesting. Google claims that

450
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:14,720
thanks to all of the sensors and the frequency of data collection, their

451
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:20,320
self-driving cars are much more attentive than a human driver is

452
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:25,120
capable. attentive. I think you win no matter what. Um because if you just look

453
00:32:23,279 --> 00:32:31,039
at polling rate, it's like, okay, you win. Um apparently there's been 11.

454
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:34,720
No, no, no, no. I want to polling rate. Humans don't have a polling rate. This

455
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,640
is kind of like the how many FPS can the eye see argument.

456
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:41,120
Oh my god. No, no, no, no, no. Just hold on a

457
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:46,880
second. So say compared to human

458
00:32:44,559 --> 00:32:52,559
driver. Okay. So you're going to try Yeah, I know, right?

459
00:32:49,039 --> 00:32:54,640
So human driver polling rate even an

460
00:32:52,559 --> 00:32:57,679
infinite polling rate would not technically

461
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:01,840
well okay an infinite pulling rate would be equivalent. So anything but an

462
00:33:00,159 --> 00:33:06,720
infinite polling rate would not technically be higher than the pulling

463
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:09,360
rate of your eye or ear. Okay?

464
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:14,640
Because it's a continuous stream. Okay? So my point was that you have a

465
00:33:13,039 --> 00:33:19,360
huge amount of sensors constantly pulling in data whereas a human like you

466
00:33:17,679 --> 00:33:23,519
will be eating or doing whatever else while they're talking.

467
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:28,159
Are we talking pulling in data or pulling in data? So an O or a U?

468
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:30,799
Either pulling rate. I don't think he knows what he's talking

469
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:35,200
about. Why? I'm just having fun. Okay. Sorry. You

470
00:33:33,679 --> 00:33:38,320
can talk about the sensors now. Anyways, so there's tons of different

471
00:33:36,799 --> 00:33:42,080
sensors all pulling in data all the time. A big problem with car accidents

472
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:46,559
is it usually happens in a momentary lapse. Like if this guy eating on the

473
00:33:44,399 --> 00:33:49,519
right or a shoulder check. Yeah. If you shoulder check, you might not see that

474
00:33:48,159 --> 00:33:53,919
guy merging into your lane. If you shoulder check on the left, you might not see the guy merging into your lane

475
00:33:52,559 --> 00:33:57,600
who's not paying attention on your right. It might not be because you

476
00:33:55,679 --> 00:34:01,039
screwed up. You just couldn't currently see in that direction.

477
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:03,919
So basically, Google is solving entirely the wrong problem. And they're going

478
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:08,560
about this the wrong way because what they should really be doing is figuring out how to give us cybernetic eyes in

479
00:34:07,279 --> 00:34:11,919
the sides of our heads. That would be awesome. That would be awesome.

480
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,560
That'd be so confusing though. Imagine the first time you had it turned on. Okay.

481
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:18,480
And you could just see like No, no. This is this is the thing. So, have you heard of coclar implants?

482
00:34:18,079 --> 00:34:24,159
Yeah. Okay. So, one of the big problems with

483
00:34:21,839 --> 00:34:27,359
colear implants is particularly for people who were born deaf a lot of the

484
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:31,520
time they they're like scared or whatever. still. No, it's not even scared or not

485
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:35,440
scared. Like, they can know what's coming, but but they a lot of people,

486
00:34:33,839 --> 00:34:41,200
especially older people, they they tend to want to do and there's like there's a

487
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:43,359
huge sort of debate about the uh about

488
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:48,320
the the ethics of of all of this stuff because they tend to have to do it with

489
00:34:45,839 --> 00:34:53,040
people young in order for them to learn how to hear and how to discern speech

490
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:56,800
and all of these things. Because the older someone's being, especially if

491
00:34:54,879 --> 00:34:59,599
they were born deaf, the more difficult it is for their brain to

492
00:34:59,119 --> 00:35:04,960
Yeah. adapt to this completely new sense. I mean, imaginata.

493
00:35:03,119 --> 00:35:09,200
That's right. And people who people who are deaf, I mean, they live perfectly

494
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:12,880
normal functional lives in many. I mean, I'm not saying every deaf person is like

495
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:17,119
a, you know, the best citizen ever or anything, but I'm saying I know plenty

496
00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:20,320
of people who are just totally normal people. They just can't hear. And for

497
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:23,680
all we know, like, think about it this way. What if you were a perfectly normal

498
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:27,599
person except you had like another you had another sense normal person you had you had another

499
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:31,599
using the incorrect terminology well whatever the point is let's say

500
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:35,760
that you well no but I'm saying normal because of the point I'm trying to make

501
00:35:34,079 --> 00:35:39,440
what if you thought you were like a normal person except there was another

502
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:42,720
sense in like your butt or something like if you had another organ there that

503
00:35:41,119 --> 00:35:46,640
was an entirely new sense that you'd never experienced before that would like

504
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:49,280
explode your brain cuz what would that sense even be you'd have no concept of

505
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:55,520
it people could desri describe like a a a

506
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:58,320
proximity sense to you and you'd be like, "Oh, okay." But the first time you

507
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:01,280
walked down the street and you got close to something, you'd be like, "What's

508
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:07,599
going on?" Are are I don't know if I'm saying it wrong or not. Are colear implants

509
00:36:04,720 --> 00:36:09,040
permanent? Like, if you get one, um,

510
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:14,079
can you not reverse? So, here's what happens with colear implants, and my my knowledge might be a

511
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:17,520
little outdated, but uh the way that my understanding is that it works is they

512
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:20,079
actually remove what was in there. Well, if it wasn't

513
00:36:19,599 --> 00:36:26,400
working, well, some people can hear a little like enough that if you know a gunshot went

514
00:36:24,079 --> 00:36:28,640
off, they could duck like like even though they might have a lot of

515
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:34,800
difficulty with speech. So, you'd be able to duck fast enough. So, without your colear implant, if they

516
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:37,839
put it in and take it out, there's nothing left. Okay. So, that's one of the challenges as

517
00:36:37,599 --> 00:36:41,920
well. Okay. Well, that's an interesting conversation. But, if it was completely

518
00:36:40,720 --> 00:36:46,480
non-functioning, I don't really think it's that big of a deal. Well, I mean

519
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:49,440
there's there's there's a lot of um the thing about the deaf community is they

520
00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:57,680
have their own they have their own culture and they have a cultural pride and um forcing particularly young

521
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:59,520
children to have a coclar implant for

522
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:03,040
the sake of being more normal is something that and and it's that norm

523
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:05,680
it's the nword like well hold on a second what's wrong with the way that

524
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:10,320
you were made and that's an argument that a lot of people will make and you can and you can look and

525
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:13,920
pretty sure I'd want to hear you can be pretty sure but there's a lot

526
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:16,880
of people who don't feel that way and if they're having that decision made for

527
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:19,760
them, is that really fair? And if you don't make the decision for them, well,

528
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:24,400
maybe you can't make it till later on in your life and then maybe it doesn't work as well. So, it's actually it's a pretty

529
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:26,800
sensitive topic. Um, one that we're not going to I was just going to say we should

530
00:37:25,839 --> 00:37:33,520
probably just move on. One that we're not going to get any deeper into. It's just it's just

531
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:38,720
interesting. So, anyway, there have been 11 accidents in total, all of which were

532
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:43,359
minor, uh, which Google asserts were never the fault of their car. Uh, seven

533
00:37:41,359 --> 00:37:47,280
involved another vehicle rear ending the Google car. So, that's pretty much not

534
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:51,760
open for debate. Two of them were sideswipes, and one involved another car

535
00:37:49,599 --> 00:37:55,520
traveling through a red light. Interesting thing here, though, is that

536
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:58,880
I have personally, and I'm sure you have as well, and I I know a few other people

537
00:37:57,359 --> 00:38:02,320
have in the office because of stories that have been told, but avoided

538
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:06,079
sideswipes. You'll see someone merging into your lane, even if you're doing a shoulder

539
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:11,440
check and you look back and you see them with like a tire over the line, like, "Oh my goodness." And you can move over.

540
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:15,520
Yep. Um, why were there two sides swipes? If you've got all these sensors

541
00:38:13,599 --> 00:38:19,920
and stuff, why were you not able to move or like honk your horn or do something

542
00:38:18,079 --> 00:38:23,839
to try to avoid it? Like I I want more data on the sideswipes. Also, with the

543
00:38:21,839 --> 00:38:27,839
one with uh another car traveling through a red light. Yeah. But one thing

544
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:32,320
that they teach you in driver training school and like I'm not discrediting people that get sideswiped and I'm not

545
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:36,560
discrediting people that get uh sometimes it's unavoidable. Yeah. And like if you get t-boned in a

546
00:38:35,119 --> 00:38:40,320
red light, like that's horrible. I'm not saying it's your fault at all. I'm just

547
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:44,079
saying I want more information about those crashes because if it was

548
00:38:42,240 --> 00:38:48,160
obviously someone coming Yeah. and a person would have scanned the

549
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:52,400
intersection and been able to stop or turn off or avoid or something then

550
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:56,720
maybe that's a problem. Bearing in mind though that a big part of Google's

551
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:59,280
argument is that this is going to be a numbers game and

552
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:02,480
and the more of them that there are it'll help because another Google car wouldn't RAM through a red light onto

553
00:39:02,079 --> 00:39:11,280
another and their sensors and algorithms are

554
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:13,839
more attentive and less errorprone.

555
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:18,880
They're not actually saying that they're perfect. There will be situations where

556
00:39:16,079 --> 00:39:22,079
a great driver paying a lot of attention would have happened to be looking the

557
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:27,200
other way and would have been able to do like a freaking wicked like E brake stop

558
00:39:25,599 --> 00:39:30,400
and that car going through the red light would have would have blown blown by

559
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:35,119
them instead of hitting them. But what they're saying is and I'm a huge advocate for the this is

560
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:39,280
a lower percentage. I just want more data on those crashes. So it's one of those things where and

561
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:45,200
this is going to be such a big debate over the next 10 to 20 years.

562
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:47,680
self-driving cars will be at fault and

563
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:51,839
they will kill people at some point. It will happen. They just quote me on this.

564
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:56,320
It's going to happen and everyone's going to spaz. But the argument is going

565
00:39:54,480 --> 00:40:02,800
to be and this is going to be no consolation to the family and friends of

566
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:05,440
whoever dies in this horrible situation

567
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:08,960
that is going to happen. The argument is gonna be, well,

568
00:40:07,119 --> 00:40:14,320
I'm sorry it worked out this way for you with this, but

569
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:19,359
for the good of the collective, everyone in general, we still need to do this.

570
00:40:17,359 --> 00:40:23,520
And uh, wow, that's going to be really tough.

571
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:28,800
It's easy. It's really easy for me to say now from my safe, you know, room in

572
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:33,200
our office where I'm not getting mowed down by a self-driving car or like, you

573
00:40:31,359 --> 00:40:37,040
know, my three-year-old son isn't getting, you know, killed on his way

574
00:40:35,359 --> 00:40:40,800
home from school in our family self-driving car or something like that.

575
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:45,520
It's easy for me to say, "Yeah, that's the right move." But once that

576
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:49,920
I think one really interesting thing that we're going to have to deal with at

577
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:52,480
some point, which I wouldn't be too surprised if it happened, is a

578
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:56,480
self-driving car getting hacked in some sort of way or a self-driving car going

579
00:40:54,560 --> 00:41:01,119
haywire because of some other reason, whether it's like a failure somewhere or

580
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:06,640
whatnot. But if it just goes like, "Oh, the sidewalk is a street. Time to GTA

581
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,960
it." And just like, "Oh dear, I don't

582
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:12,480
know." Yeah. It's going to depend on the degree to which the self-driving car screws up.

583
00:41:11,359 --> 00:41:18,400
Yes. But I mean I even see things like where

584
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:21,440
a person could have avoided it being a big one that people bring up. Like if

585
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:25,599
I'd been driving my son That's what I mean though.

586
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:28,240
Would we have gotten hit? Would he have died? And how do I live with that? For

587
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:34,640
example. Um so

588
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:38,400
yeah. And I mean oh this is a great point from is that Ghost putting that in

589
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:42,720
there? Yeah. Good good good work Ghost. Uh, what if the self-driving car has to

590
00:41:40,720 --> 00:41:47,680
make a decision between the life of its passenger and the life of someone else?

591
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:52,280
What if swerving away from that person is going to cause it to strike a pole?

592
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:58,000
Uh-oh. Yeah, there's a lot of really nasty

593
00:41:56,240 --> 00:42:01,680
stuff that we're going to run into like for sure. I just don't know what ones

594
00:41:59,599 --> 00:42:05,280
we're going to win run into when all that kind of stuff. And if it all happens kind of right at

595
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:08,480
the beginning when they start selling them to consumers, they'll set us back 50 years. Yeah,

596
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:14,160
exactly. Yeah, I think it'll happen regardless. It's just Yeah.

597
00:42:11,599 --> 00:42:16,000
Yeah. Um

598
00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:19,359
I didn't even think about the decision between two lives thing. That's brutal. That's incredible.

599
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:25,359
Yeah. Um so Mosilla launches a new Firefox

600
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:27,440
version without DRM support. So this was

601
00:42:25,359 --> 00:42:31,920
posted by XSilent X and there's a number of articles on it. TechCrunch has one.

602
00:42:29,839 --> 00:42:35,440
So let's go ahead and pop that up so you guys can see what TechCrunch's website

603
00:42:33,839 --> 00:42:38,960
looks like in case you had never been there before.

604
00:42:37,359 --> 00:42:43,920
They have a Mozilla logo. That was awesome. Okay, so pretty much what's

605
00:42:41,359 --> 00:42:50,480
going on here is in order to do away with sort of aging the aging plug-in

606
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:55,920
system for online video content, things like Silver Light, um, Adobe Flash to a

607
00:42:53,440 --> 00:43:01,599
much lesser extent, and make way for HTML 5 as the savior of the modern

608
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:06,160
multimedia covered internet. DRM is going to be a thing whether you

609
00:43:03,599 --> 00:43:12,240
guys like it or not unless you use Firefox apparently. So what will happen

610
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:16,319
here is that services like Netflix which

611
00:43:12,240 --> 00:43:17,920
are going to rely on DRM in order to be

612
00:43:16,319 --> 00:43:21,440
allowed through the agreements they have with content providers to stream video

613
00:43:20,319 --> 00:43:26,960
to you. Services like that are going to require that you have a DRM enabled browser. And

614
00:43:25,119 --> 00:43:34,160
Mozilla actually released one that supports HTML 5 DRM specs. Um, so now

615
00:43:32,319 --> 00:43:38,640
they have one that doesn't have it. So you can get a DRM free version because

616
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:42,800
the closed source DRM solution uh didn't really jive that well with the free and

617
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:46,160
open Firefoxness uh sort of principles of the Mosilla

618
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:51,119
Foundation. So now you can download a DRM free version. So presumably you just

619
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:54,960
won't be able to like watch Netflix on it. Yeah.

620
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:59,920
So it's more of a rapid more things in the future though.

621
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:02,560
Netflix other things as well. I don't know.

622
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:07,440
Expect more DRM. Um I mean I wouldn't be that surprised

623
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:10,160
to see something like um you music videos on YouTube implement something

624
00:44:09,119 --> 00:44:14,880
like this. Um you know any Y anywhere where there's

625
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:17,680
big money involved in the production of the content, you can bet that they're

626
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:20,160
spending big money to protect it from being taken by people and stuff.

627
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:25,680
Yes. Okay. Microsoft. Oh, what time is it?

628
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:31,119
Oh. Uh yeah. Um if only I knew how to read a clock. I

629
00:44:29,359 --> 00:44:34,960
bet you could learn that on Linda. You could learn how to make your own

630
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:36,319
clock by programming the clock. You actually could.

631
00:44:36,079 --> 00:44:42,079
Yes, linda.com is the place to learn online.

632
00:44:40,319 --> 00:44:47,040
Aside from our show, of course. Yeah, that I I mean, we're pretty great, too.

633
00:44:44,319 --> 00:44:48,480
But linda.com has experts. Actual experts.

634
00:44:47,599 --> 00:44:52,800
Less dick jokes. Yeah. Far fewer dick jokes. Um, we have

635
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:57,200
some people complain about the dick jokes on our our show. So, to them, I

636
00:44:54,720 --> 00:45:01,040
would say visit linda.com/wanshow for a 10day free trial. You learn what

637

you want at your own pace. Whether it's photography, uh video editing, whether

638
00:45:03,359 --> 00:45:11,359
it's office applications, business, all kinds of cool stuff. And I plan to start

They're awesome. We love those guys. Um, also

643
00:45:25,359 --> 00:45:30,240
man, once you learn all your skills and how to run a business, you can jump on

644
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:35,839
FreshBooks. You're determined to do this. You know what? I like linking them all together.

645
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,960
It actually works really well in this case, though.

646
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:44,480
It does. So, Freshbooks is a is like a it's a cloud-based online tool for pretty much

647
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:48,640
managing yourself. So, if you run a business, let's say you're a plumber,

648
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:52,319
for example. I always use that example. Okay, I'll come up with a different

649
00:45:49,839 --> 00:45:57,280
example. Let's say you're a um a vigilante, for example, and you want to

650
00:45:54,800 --> 00:46:00,960
go ahead and you want to log your hours. Let's say you're a vigilante who has

651
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:04,000
like a dirty cop, you know, paying him on the side, but you want to make sure

652
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:07,760
that, you know, you're getting your invoices sent out accurately and on

653
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:14,480
time. You know, you want to make sure that that cop is paying by by credit

654
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:16,800
card online so that um Okay, that's a

655
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:21,359
terrible example, too. Okay, what what is Fresh Books? Okay. Fresh Books is the

656
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:25,280
way if you're self-employed to spend more time running your business and less

657
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:27,599
proper your proper legal business. Yes. Your actual legal business tracks

658
00:46:27,119 --> 00:46:35,280
properly. An actual business, not fighting people like Batman. Um, and less time dealing

659
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:39,440
with accounting nonsense. So, for example, you can log your hours in it.

660
00:46:37,839 --> 00:46:43,760
You can enter information like your rates. You can submit invoices to your

661
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:48,079
customers via email. You can see that they got them, which is critical. And

662
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:52,480
then you can make it so they can pay by credit card because making it easy for

663
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:55,680
people to pay you is a huge part of removing the barrier to getting paid

664
00:46:54,160 --> 00:47:02,560
which puts the money back into your pockets to keep reinvesting in your business and help you grow. So check it

665
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:05,040
out at freshbooks.com/wan

666
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:09,359
and uh in enter WAN Show in the how did you hear about us section and you also

667
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:13,280
get a free trial. I actually don't know how long their free trial is. I think it's two weeks I want to say.

668
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:19,359
I'm not entirely sure but yeah try it out if you're running your own business. Also, finally, and

669
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:24,640
this one's going to be fun. I always have fun with these. Okay, so I think

670
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:29,599
there are notes on Loot Crate, but just to just to like just to make Nick come

671
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:33,760
in here all upset and butth, there's one that I think you'll be super

672
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:39,200
excited about, actually. I'll let you run into it. So, this, my friends, is the April Loot

673
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:44,640
Crate. Um although we should say that uh the

674
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:50,160
May crate theme will be unite apparently with a bunch of exclusive stuff. But

675
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:52,240
this is the fantasy crate. I don't know

676
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:56,000
if Loot Crate's uh if I don't know if Loot Crate's interpretation of my

677
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:58,480
fantasies would actually be a problem. When you said the fantasy crate, I was

678
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:02,720
like, "Oh dear." Well, this is about 8 in long and black.

679
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:05,839
Oh wow. Also square, which is odd.

680
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:09,440
That would be kind of physically unfortunate. And like cardboard paper

681
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:13,040
cuts are kind of a [ __ ] Oh my god. And like there too, they'd

682
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:18,000
probably get infected. Okay, so what does this say? Document

683
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:21,359
share. Enjoy. There's like a map with a sword on it. So I already know that this

684
00:48:19,599 --> 00:48:24,800
is going to go well. You know what? I'm actually wearing a shirt from a previous

685
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:28,160
Loot Crate right now. So I'm going to make it part of the process. I'm going

686
00:48:26,240 --> 00:48:33,440
to change into my new Loot Crate shirt. Ah, wait a second. I'm not allowed to

687
00:48:30,720 --> 00:48:38,800
show my nipples on Twitch. So I think it's against the rules. Yes. Thank you.

688
00:48:35,119 --> 00:48:40,800
Thank you for being my change room.

689
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:45,119
You can watch if you want. The hero always looks.

690
00:48:42,240 --> 00:48:48,640
The hero always looks. That's true. Oops. Okay. All right. So, I got my new

691
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:51,359
I got my new Loot Crate shirt. Do you know what it is?

692
00:48:50,079 --> 00:48:54,400
I'm kind of an idiot. Pretty sure it's No. Yes, it is.

693
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:58,400
Way. Yep. I That's That's what I knew you were going to be excited about. No, this

694
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:05,280
is not This is Yeah. No, this I This I'm not that excited about. Princess Bride playing

695
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:09,200
cards. I knew you'd be stoked for that. Yeah.

696
00:49:06,240 --> 00:49:13,520
Oh, as you freaking wish, man. I love that

697
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:17,839
movie. I wonder if they have like a bunch of

698
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:20,319
Seriously, man. Andre the Giant taken from us too young.

699
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:25,839
Yeah. Oh, that Oh, these are actually pretty nice, too. They're not like like crappy

700
00:49:25,359 --> 00:49:31,680
cards. There's There's noticeably differences between crappy and good cards.

701
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:33,440
Oh my goodness. That Joker card, man.

702
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:38,559
Oh, it's the it's a Dungeon Keeper. And we've got the RO US Joker card as well.

703
00:49:36,559 --> 00:49:41,040
Oh, I'm loving this. Okay, what else we got in here?

704
00:49:39,599 --> 00:49:46,000
I knew you'd be search for that. I love how it like took you completely

705
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:49,040
black tie geek bow tie just in case

706
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:51,599
you need one of those. Oh, this is an infl Okay,

707
00:49:50,400 --> 00:50:00,000
I I'll work on this. You Okay, you work on that. What else we got? Uh Game of Thrones Stark Sigil USB

708
00:49:56,559 --> 00:50:01,520
flash drive. How'd they pull that off?

709
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:04,720
That's awesome. It's probably not very high capacity.

710
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:08,319
Like, I'll be surprised. You know what? I have a computer here. Let's find out.

711
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:14,400
So, that's what it'll look like plugged into your computer. And I'll let you

712
00:50:10,559 --> 00:50:16,960
guys know how big it is.

713
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:20,359
4 gigs. So, big enough for a Windows OS. There you go.

714
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:26,359
Can I help you? No way. It's a crown.

715
00:50:27,359 --> 00:50:35,280
Okay. Okay, so we've got a Harry Potter um station or platform 9 and 3/4 sign.

716
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:38,960
I'm liking that. Wow, I'm actually getting most of the references these

717
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:44,000
days. Now, the thing is is that I'm not that into Game of Thrones. I have read

718
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:46,960
the first book, but I refuse to read the

719
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:51,680
rest of the books until uh George RR Martin gets off of his butt and writes

720
00:50:49,119 --> 00:50:55,520
the last couple. And then I refuse to watch the show until I've read all the

721
00:50:53,440 --> 00:51:00,400
books because that's how I roll. So, we've got So, it'll be a long time

722
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:03,680
before uh before Yeah. a lot of things. But, I mean, I know what winter is

723
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:06,000
coming is all about. So, these are Game of Thrones magnets with the house

724
00:51:05,359 --> 00:51:15,119
sigils. Did you already take this out? Uh yes, we've got a pin. So, uh fantasy

725
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:16,880
loot crate pin. And finally, their usual

726
00:51:15,119 --> 00:51:20,720
like magazine thing. Oh, yeah. Right there. Opens with as you wish. Loving

727
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:26,559
that. Oh, that's great. No offense. And as

728
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:29,520
much as I haven't seen Game of Thrones,

729
00:51:26,559 --> 00:51:31,680
um, yeah, it'll never hold a candle to Princess Bride. Sorry.

730
00:51:30,319 --> 00:51:36,880
Princess Bride's fantastic. I can't believe they went the Princess Bride

731
00:51:34,240 --> 00:51:41,520
route. You know, like every dad that bought their kid Loot Crate got this one

732
00:51:39,599 --> 00:51:45,760
and was like, "Yep, I'll take that. You can have the rest of it. Cool."

733
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:48,640
Yeah, dog. So, apparently this is a D&D t-shirt. So, that's why I That's why I

734
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:51,920
didn't catch. I think I told you. Not much of a D and D guy.

735
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:59,359
I might have brushed over. Oh, man. Princess Bride playing cards. I'm loving that. All right, so

736
00:51:55,440 --> 00:52:01,359
lootcrate.com code line is to save 10%.

737
00:51:59,359 --> 00:52:04,480
Which given how inexpensive these loot crates are is actually not that

738
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:08,480
meaningful unless you sign up for like a year or something. So definitely to get

739
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:12,480
the most out of your 10% off. Sign up for a year. Don't just do one crate cuz

740
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:17,440
they're like they're what, like 15 bucks or something like that? I don't I think isn't it on here?

741
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:22,319
I don't remember. They're they're not that expensive. They're relatively cheap. like how much

742
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:24,880
you get. It's like the cost of just the shirt.

743
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:29,040
So, basically, you're saving like a buck 50 if you use our code and you only buy

744
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:32,559
one loot crate. So, sign up for the subscription and uh

745
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:36,880
this is like a nice It's actually kind of nice. Yeah, it's not bad.

746
00:52:34,240 --> 00:52:40,240
It's bulky, which is bulky. Not my favorite thing, but it looks cool. And

747
00:52:38,079 --> 00:52:42,079
if you're just thread something through the teeth and then keep it on your

748
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:47,680
keychain. That'd be cool. That would be pretty sweet. All right, so let's move on to our next

749
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:52,079
topic then, shall we? All right. It's funny. He's always the one that

750
00:52:50,319 --> 00:52:56,960
remembers now. I am.

751
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:57,760
All right. Microsoft reveals Windows 10

752
00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:03,440
editions. Oh jeez. They're plated in gold.

753
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:06,240
Ah. No. Only the Windows 10 edition edition

754
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:11,359
is plated in gold. Edition edition.

755
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:14,480
Sorry. That's pretty funny. Um, okay. Do you want to handle this?

756
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:18,400
And I'll inflate my crown cuz you're wearing one. I want to wear one, too. Oh, dear. It doesn't take that long,

757
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:24,400
which is nice compared to all the other inflatable stuff we've been doing lately. But okay, so the main I meant

758
00:53:23,119 --> 00:53:30,720
the for channel fun. You shouldn't tell them about that.

759
00:53:29,359 --> 00:53:34,720
Okay, so go ahead. So, okay, there's Windows 10 Home,

760
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:38,960
Windows 10 Mobile, Windows 10 Pro, Windows 10 Enterprise, Windows 10

761
00:53:36,240 --> 00:53:42,240
Education, Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise, and I thought there might have been one

762
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:46,400
more, but we'll just go with that. And I'm going to jump to the actual Windows

763
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:51,839
website because our notes here are kind of balls. So, moving forward, I hope I

764
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:56,720
posted this in the chat. I'm going to post it again. So, if that's a troll,

765
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:59,520
I'm sorry. Um,

766
00:53:56,720 --> 00:54:04,000
so Windows 10 Home is pretty much exactly what you'd expect. What they're

767
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:08,960
listing here is stuff like Cortana, uh, Windows Hello face recognition,

768
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:12,079
fingerprint login, the Microsoft Edge

769
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:14,240
web browser, uh, mail, calendar, maps,

770
00:54:12,079 --> 00:54:18,880
photos, all the things that kind of just come with Windows. Um, yeah, not a ton

771
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:24,319
of extra stuff, but you do get stuff like the Xbox Live gaming community if

772
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:29,760
you care about that at all. Um, it's there for you, so it has that, I guess.

773
00:54:27,839 --> 00:54:33,200
And yeah, that's about it. Can I jump in and ask why code names are always so

774
00:54:31,839 --> 00:54:36,160
much cooler than the actual product name? Why did they rename it Edge? They

775
00:54:35,119 --> 00:54:39,920
should have just called it Spartan. Spartan. Yeah, that would have been so badass.

776
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:43,760
Actually, is that Spartan? It's called Edge now, I think. So,

777
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:49,440
that's really disappointing. Yeah. All right. Anyways, moving on.

778
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:50,160
So, what's douchier? Sunglasses or an

779
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:55,319
inflatable crown on and then wear the sunglasses? Oh, that could work.

780
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:05,920
Oh my god. The world's coolest king ever.

781
00:55:04,079 --> 00:55:09,200
One of my crown things is all derpy. Sorry. Chrome crashed or I'd be showing

782
00:55:07,599 --> 00:55:14,559
you guys the Windows blog page right now. It's making me

783
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:17,280
Anyways, Windows 10 Pro is for PCs and

784
00:55:14,559 --> 00:55:22,960
tablets and twoin ones as I'm sure Windows 10 normal is as well. Anyways,

785
00:55:20,720 --> 00:55:27,440
so it builds on top of that. It also includes Windows Update for Business,

786
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:29,920
which allows you to kind of peer-to-peer share Windows updates, decide when they

787
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:35,680
go out. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. You can decide when the updates go

788
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:40,880
out. So, if you're like, "Oh, well, we're kind of mission critical at like

789
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:42,880
400 p.m. So, no, you can do it to your

790
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:48,880
entire network at a specified time later on, which like that's not super new, but

791
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:53,119
is probably easier to set up now, I'm assuming. So, that's cool because it's

792
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:55,599
more centralized. I guess that's nice. I like the peer-to-p peer sharing one.

793
00:55:54,640 --> 00:56:01,839
There's some other stuff for Windows Update Business, but that those are the main parts. Um, yeah. Then there isn't a

794
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:06,400
huge difference between those two. Then there's Windows 10 mobile, which is

795
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:10,079
essentially for phones. Um, and it's just more it's it's better for touch.

796
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:14,960
There's a touch version of Office, which is nice. And if you plug it into a large

797
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:19,680
format monitor, it will what is it called? continuum for phone which makes

798
00:56:16,720 --> 00:56:22,880
it turn into uh basically just a PC experience so that you could have a

799
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:28,240
large format monitor and everything would be fine. Uh moving on to Windows

800
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:31,119
10 Enterprise. There's some other stuff

801
00:56:28,240 --> 00:56:35,920
like long-term servicing branch um support.

802
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:38,480
Yeah, volume licensing. Other things that are probably not super

803
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:44,160
most of the stuff people won't really care too much about. Yeah.

804
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:47,440
It's not super interesting. So, you're probably fine with home, which has been

805
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:51,920
the story since forever, unless you want remote desktop connection, in which case you can get

806
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:54,920
pro. Yay.

807
00:56:55,440 --> 00:57:00,880
Or if you want to like peer-to-peer share Windows updates with your roommate.

808
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:04,480
Yeah. Which makes absolutely no sense at all. So, I can't I can't get Chrome back

809
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:10,000
open. So, you're you're on point for the next one, too. Cool. All right. So, moving on.

810
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:17,040
Oh, also I wanted to add that apparently um

811
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:20,960
there's there's like certain specific games being included with it like Candy

812
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:26,240
Crush Saga. Oh yeah, that's been so that's been

813
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:28,160
making the rounds lately. So, okay,

814
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:34,240
there's two ways to look at this. Number one is, does Microsoft really need

815
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:40,240
whatever payout King Games is giving them to include this stupid game with

816
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:41,200
the operating system? And perspective

817
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:46,240
number two is does it really matter cuz it's going to take up like no space at all

818
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:48,319
and you can uninstall it. Is it any different from including Mind Sweeper?

819
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:54,240
Really? Yeah. I mean, I would argue that since it

820
00:57:50,799 --> 00:57:56,160
actually has a a microtransaction

821
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:59,520
doesn't mind sweeper now. Shut up. Or you have to like

822
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:03,599
No. No. What's up with Mind Sweeper on Windows 8?

823
00:58:02,079 --> 00:58:10,480
Try to launch it. It's not there, right? And then you have to get it from the store.

824
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:12,079
Mind sweeper. Results for Mind Sweeper.

825
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:16,160
Really? Do they not include it? Yeah. And then I think you you have to

826
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:18,480
like buy it or you can only play it a certain amount of times and you have to

827
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:23,599
refill your credits or something. I don't remember how it works, but mind sweeper on above Windows 7 is super

828
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:27,760
weird. And then even like I don't think Windows 7 has Mind Sweeper.

829
00:58:26,319 --> 00:58:31,280
Interesting. Okay. I didn't know that. Oh, no. You have to turn it on or something like it's not the default

830
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:35,680
feature. So, the point is, is this really any different? And should we really be

831
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:39,920
concerned about it? Someone in chat's going to correct. I personally think it's a crappy

832
00:58:38,319 --> 00:58:44,799
direction for them to be going. I think that including their own firstparty

833
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:47,920
games that don't have microtransactions

834
00:58:44,799 --> 00:58:50,240
is probably fine, but this is exactly

835
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:55,359
the same kind of crap that I thought Microsoft was trying to fight against by

836
00:58:53,359 --> 00:59:00,559
encouraging their PC makers to ship clean Windows and what and that they

837
00:58:57,599 --> 00:59:05,280
were setting a good example for with the Surface Pro line not including any

838
00:59:03,119 --> 00:59:11,119
bloatware. This just seems to fly in the face of the direction that pretty much

839
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:14,880
everything else is going. I mean, Apple doesn't ship a bunch of bloat. Even

840
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:19,040
Android is moving away from shipping a bunch of bloat. Even even like some of

841
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:26,319
the worst Android offenders like Samsung are moving away from shipping bloat with

842
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:27,359
their operating systems. So, I um yeah,

843
00:59:26,319 --> 00:59:32,880
think that's pretty much all I have to say about that. I sure wish that this

844
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:33,839
would do things. That would be great.

845
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:38,960
Thanks. I don't remember what it is with Mind

846
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:44,079
Sweeper on Windows 8, but it has like a 4.7 out of 10 rating. So, something's

847
00:59:42,319 --> 00:59:47,119
going on that I don't think the chat is entirely aware of. And I remember trying

848
00:59:45,599 --> 00:59:51,839
to play it and there was really weird crap going on in Windows 8. But anyways,

849
00:59:49,280 --> 01:00:00,559
in Windows 7, uh you're right, Chad, it is enabled, but exactly how I said, you

850
00:59:54,079 --> 01:00:04,319
have to go and turn it on. So,

851
01:00:00,559 --> 01:00:06,559
yeah. Anyways. Okay, so let's move on to

852
01:00:04,319 --> 01:00:12,240
our next topic, shall we? FTC rules in favor of Tesla direct to

853
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:16,079
consumer sales. Um, they're saying it's legal, but it's not entirely through

854
01:00:13,839 --> 01:00:17,200
yet. The the FTC will have a lot of sway.

855
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:22,640
Yeah. Um, but the conversation is not over. I was under the impression that the

856
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:25,359
conversation was over and it was fine. And then there was an update to the

857
01:00:24,079 --> 01:00:29,839
article, which I don't know if it was actually this one, but there was an

858
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:34,160
update being like, whoa, actually it's not. the FTC is just kind of approving

859
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:37,440
it and then other things have to happen. Um, but it's it's moving along which is

860
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:45,119
good. Um, so Good Bites posted the Windows 10 editions edition stuff. Um, Silver

861
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:49,760
Draachi uh posted the Tesla bit. So here's

862
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:54,640
here's a quote from the FTC. A fundamental principle of competition is

863
01:00:51,680 --> 01:01:00,240
that consumers, not regulation, should determine what they buy and how they buy

864
01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:04,000
it. The FTC said consumers may benefit from the ability to buy cars directly

865
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:07,760
from manufacturers whether they are shopping for luxury cars or economy

866
01:01:05,839 --> 01:01:14,400
vehicles. The same competition principles should apply in either case.

867
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:18,640
This is um a great show of common sense. The original article here is from

868
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:25,760
techdrive.co Co. And it's uh it's refreshing to see sensible quotes coming

869
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:27,280
from stuff that's all has emblems that

870
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:30,480
are blue and white and have America written all over them. So,

871
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:35,760
well, Canada hasn't really been doing much better lately. No, that is a tremendous tremendously

872
01:01:33,839 --> 01:01:39,119
good point. But it's it's refreshing to see our neighbors to the south figuring

873
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:42,880
it out because usually we just follow whatever they do.

874
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:46,880
It just takes us a while. Yep. That's very true. Um, so yeah,

875
01:01:45,599 --> 01:01:52,240
there's not really a ton to say here. It's moving along, which is super good.

876
01:01:49,119 --> 01:01:55,680
Um, but it's not finalized, so we can't

877
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:57,040
really start the party yet, I guess.

878
01:01:55,680 --> 01:02:02,319
All right. Um, scientists have invented a quadrillion

879
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:06,559
quillion FPS camera, also known as a one trillion FPS camera.

880
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:12,160
Yeah, that first number was nothing. It was awesome. It was absolutely nothing. This was

881
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:14,000
posted by Prashant Nani X and the

882
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:21,359
original article here is from science alert Japanese scientist a new trillion frame

883
01:02:18,559 --> 01:02:29,520
per second camera so it can capture events occurring at 45,000

884
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:30,240
kilometers per second.

885
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:35,280
Wow. There's some limitations like last

886
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:41,119
August it could only capture six frames per shot. So, it was basically done

887
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:45,520
immediately. Um, and they're hoping to reach a hundred. So, it will still be

888
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:51,680
done immediately, but it'll allow them to observe events

889
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:55,040
like biological processes in far more

890
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:56,960
detail than before.

891
01:02:55,040 --> 01:03:02,079
Very, very cool. So, this is more than a thousand times faster than a

892
01:02:58,799 --> 01:03:03,839
conventional high-speed camera. So,

893
01:03:02,079 --> 01:03:09,040
let's have a look at what else they uh think is really interesting about this.

894
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:14,720
That is really cool. So apparently each color uh each separate

895
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:18,079
color flash can be analyzed by string them together a moving picture blah blah

896
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:21,440
blah. So they they split each thing. How does it go? The technology works by

897
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:24,720
splitting a single light pulse into a fast barrage of rainbow colored smaller

898
01:03:23,359 --> 01:03:29,039
pulses and then they analyze those individual pulses. Insane.

899
01:03:27,039 --> 01:03:32,000
So there's another imaging technique apparently known as the pump probe

900
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:36,880
method. I'm not an expert on high-speed imaging. So there you go. Um, so this

901
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:43,520
can capture frames faster than stamp, but it can only capture one frame at a

902
01:03:39,599 --> 01:03:47,359
time. So, uh, yeah. So, they're working

903
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:49,359
towards 25 frames per shot right now.

904
01:03:47,359 --> 01:03:55,039
Last August they were at six. They hope to reach 100. So, just to put that in

905
01:03:52,480 --> 01:04:00,000
perspective, 100 frames would be what? 110 billionth of a second of actual time

906
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:03,760
that they're capturing. Hold on. I'm probably doing that wrong. No, I think

907
01:04:01,599 --> 01:04:08,160
that's right. Yeah. 110 billionth of a second is all they can capture at a

908
01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:11,280
time. So they better get the timing of this thing freaking freaking right.

909
01:04:10,799 --> 01:04:16,720
Exactly. They better not be like our camera people just, you know, holding pushing

910
01:04:14,559 --> 01:04:19,839
the shutter button like whenever. Like Yeah, whatever, bro. They press Oh,

911
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:24,240
what? We missed it. Oh, I guess that's too bad. I guess we'll, you know, figure

912
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:27,200
out getting this whole apparatus set up again. Thanks for that, jackass. No,

913
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:30,240
they're going to need to be pretty precise about this. When did I have a feeling you're tying

914
01:04:29,359 --> 01:04:37,599
this into something? Oh, no. Nothing happened. the the thing I just troll these guys. Yeah, it's

915
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:41,359
fine. Um, so the new Konami CEO, this

916
01:04:37,599 --> 01:04:44,480
was posted by Boou and uh maybe there

917
01:04:41,359 --> 01:04:46,160
was some booze involved. Probably not.

918
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:52,640
They probably got a point, but original article here is from Polygon. So, new

919
01:04:49,039 --> 01:04:57,520
Konami CEO says mobile gaming is the

920
01:04:52,640 --> 01:05:00,520
future and AAA will not be as much of an

921
01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:00,520
emphasis.

922
01:05:02,799 --> 01:05:06,880
not surprising.

923
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:12,160
I don't know. Yeah, lots of people are spending money on

924
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:15,839
microtransactions on phone games. I will never get it. I will never like it. I

925
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:23,680
will never understand and I will never do it. This is why I play retro games still.

926
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:26,400
I'm I think part of the problem with

927
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:32,559
like oh all the money's in mobile games is that people are making junk and just

928
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:34,319
terrible releases for fullfeatured

929
01:05:32,559 --> 01:05:38,079
games. Yeah. When was the last time you were really

930
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:43,440
excited for a game release? Um well it's hard to get me excited

931
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:48,079
these days. Like I never got into GTA or I would have been probably really

932
01:05:45,119 --> 01:05:50,720
excited for GTA 5. Um, realistically that came out like a year

933
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:54,319
and a half ago though. Yeah, I guess that's true. Well, so not

934
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:57,599
on a platform that mattered though to be perfectly fright. Not not on a platform

935
01:05:56,240 --> 01:06:04,160
that I actually am going to play games on. So, um,

936
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:09,280
wow. Gee, I don't know. The last I guess the last AAA game I really really

937
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:10,480
enjoyed was probably Tomb Raider 2013.

938
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:16,880
Okay, that's not too bad. Yeah, I I thought that was I thought it was a great game. It was it like it

939
01:06:14,559 --> 01:06:20,240
lacked certain things that older games had. There wasn't really a lot of

940
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:25,039
exploration to it. There's like three tombs

941
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:27,280
aside from just like story mission tombs

942
01:06:25,039 --> 01:06:30,559
and like I think there was like some kind of game mode that by the time I

943
01:06:29,039 --> 01:06:35,200
played it had been shut down or something like that. Like there's some

944
01:06:32,079 --> 01:06:36,480
there's some pretty stupid stuff. But um

945
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:40,400
I don't know. I thought I thought it was really good. I definitely enjoyed it. I'm just trying to think like

946
01:06:39,039 --> 01:06:45,119
I see a lot of people in chat saying Witcher 3, but like

947
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:50,079
a little scared for that game. Have you seen all the crap going around?

948
01:06:46,799 --> 01:06:52,480
Yeah, it's kind of shaping up to be like

949
01:06:50,079 --> 01:06:56,160
like Watchd Dogs Junior in some ways. Like not to nearly the same extent as

950
01:06:54,400 --> 01:07:00,720
Watchd Dogs, but we're already discovering they dumbed it down. So,

951
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:02,960
it's not out yet. We'll we'll see once it's out. We'll see how console porty it is. You

952
01:07:02,559 --> 01:07:11,200
think? Not sure we'll end up benching it. Is CD Project Red smart enough and troll

953
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:15,119
enough to just release it as the fullfeatured

954
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:18,960
one that they announced a long time ago to pretend that they're pulling a

955
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:23,760
Ubisoft and dumbing it down and then just not do and then not do that? Are they troll

956
01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:29,039
enough? Wow.

957
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:32,400
We should ask Pasha. Pasha biceps. Are they troll enough? I

958
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:37,760
don't know. Um I don't know. That'd be really cool. I'm I'm just largely ignoring it until

959
01:07:36,799 --> 01:07:42,400
it comes out. Yep. I just want it to actually come out. So, anyway, a little bit more from the

960
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:47,680
from the interior. All I know is that I used to pre-order

961
01:07:44,559 --> 01:07:48,960
games quite a bit and I was never

962
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:53,359
dissatisfied and for the last in the last long time

963
01:07:51,599 --> 01:07:58,000
I've basic I've stopped pre-ordering games to be honest and

964
01:07:55,920 --> 01:08:01,280
it it it ended up being everything that I pre-ordered was a disappointment. Not

965
01:07:59,599 --> 01:08:03,760
like a few things. You pre-ordered Assassin's Creed, that one that you

966
01:08:03,039 --> 01:08:10,720
hated, right? Yes. Yeah, that was the beginning of the end. Yeah. Okay. Um, so some more some more

967
01:08:09,119 --> 01:08:12,960
quotes. Um, yeah, there were a couple you hated actually.

968
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:21,520
Yeah. Just just to clarify this one that I hated. Um, so uh we will pursue mobile

969
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:26,640
games aggressively. Our main platform will be mobiles following the pay as you

970
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:32,000
play model of existing games. Our games must move from selling things like items

971
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:33,600
to selling things like features. We saw

972
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:37,600
with those games that even people who buy physical games are motivated to buy

973
01:08:35,440 --> 01:08:41,279
extra content. The success of our current mobile game, Power Pro

974
01:08:39,359 --> 01:08:47,839
especially, has motivated us to actively push more of our popular series onto

975
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:49,600
mobile than ever before.

976
01:08:47,839 --> 01:08:53,279
We hope that our overseas games such as Metal Gear Solid 5 and Winning 11

977
01:08:51,759 --> 01:09:00,640
continue to do well, but we are always thinking about how to push our franchises into mobile there, too. Wow,

978
01:08:58,159 --> 01:09:03,679
that is like the single most depressing interview ever.

979
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:06,400
Yeah, there's been other fullfeatured game companies that have bailed out to

980
01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:11,600
mobile, though. Like, I don't I don't know. I don't think they're speaking entirely on behalf of the whole gaming

981
01:09:09,759 --> 01:09:16,400
industry. They're just speaking on behalf of themselves and probably a lot

982
01:09:13,759 --> 01:09:19,679
of other companies. I don't know. I will never be into phone

983
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:24,159
games. I've tried a bunch of them and they're just all garbage.

984
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:26,799
I I used to actually play a lot more

985
01:09:24,159 --> 01:09:30,159
mobile games than I do now. Like that uh the Jetack Joy Red thing

986
01:09:28,239 --> 01:09:34,400
used to be a play. No, not not just that. Like Army of Darkness, I played

987
01:09:31,839 --> 01:09:37,679
through the whole thing till the end. Um just trying to think of some other ones

988
01:09:35,839 --> 01:09:42,080
that I got reasonably into. I haven't enjoyed pretty much any. I've

989
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:45,520
had some people suggest some. I I will probably try it again in the future.

990
01:09:43,359 --> 01:09:48,880
I finished Reaper. Uh, Reaper is a lot of fun to play with a controller. Uh,

991
01:09:47,359 --> 01:09:52,159
totally horrible on touchscreen controls. But on the Shield, it was

992
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:56,000
actually really fun. Just as stupid brainless hacken slash play on a Shield

993
01:09:54,719 --> 01:10:00,640
though, I'd probably just play a full feature game off my PC. It it uh Reaper is a good toilet game

994
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:06,560
because you can like just like play one level and then peace out. So So that was that was a big

995
01:10:04,159 --> 01:10:12,960
part of the reason I played it. Um, yeah. Wow. Okay. Oculus releases

996
01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:18,800
recommended system specs for the upcoming CV or consumer version one Rift

997
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:25,440
and they have confirmed the resolution. So this was posted by Wii Maniac on the

998
01:10:21,440 --> 01:10:28,480
forum and uh here is the post on the

999
01:10:25,440 --> 01:10:29,679
oculus.com blog. So what else? What

1000
01:10:28,480 --> 01:10:33,040
else? So you want to run through the recommended specs there? Yes. I'm just trying to work on getting

1001
01:10:32,719 --> 01:10:39,040
the GTX 970 for one thing.

1002
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:41,760
GTX 970 and an R9290. This has been something that I've been kind of

1003
01:10:40,159 --> 01:10:47,760
preaching about for a long time is that you need a hardcore system. This is a rich boy's toy, my friends.

1004
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:53,360
Yes, exactly. Um, and that's it. Doesn't end there. I5 4590 equivalent or

1005
01:10:50,560 --> 01:11:01,120
greater. Like, you need good stuff. And the thing is, this is recommended specs,

1006
01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:02,800
not like not super high-end specs. Like,

1007
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:07,600
there's I can guarantee you right now, there's going to be games that are going to need a lot more than that. Yep.

1008
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:14,640
because you need uh have they talked about hertz? Yeah. So, you need 90 FPS

1009
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:18,480
at 2160 by 1200 consistently. So, you

1010
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:21,360
need above 90 FPS at 2160 x 1200. Good

1011
01:11:18,480 --> 01:11:24,159
luck on a lot of different high graphics games. Like, oh my god, that's not easy

1012
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:28,880
to do. Okay, we've got people in the chat upset about it and upset at Oculus about it.

1013
01:11:28,400 --> 01:11:34,719
No. No, not at all. Nothing to do with Oculus. No,

1014
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:38,719
this has to do with Oculus being realistic

1015
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:44,159
about the way that they're presenting the requirements for gaming on this

1016
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:46,239
platform to their customers. Oculus

1017
01:11:44,159 --> 01:11:50,640
doesn't want people buying this thing with their, you know, I'll pick on

1018
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:55,040
something 5770, you know, uh, and expecting to have a

1019
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:58,640
good good gaming experience. It stutters and I get sick. Oh, Oculus

1020
01:11:57,360 --> 01:12:03,520
sucks. Exactly. It's the de it's how demanding

1021
01:12:01,440 --> 01:12:07,520
the game is and the frame rate that you need to run at to have a good VR

1022
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:12,159
experience that is prompting them to release these out of thisworld

1023
01:12:10,159 --> 01:12:19,920
recommended system specs. So they want a high-end quad core 8 gigs plus of RAM

1024
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:23,760
HDMI 1.3 and a 970 or AMD 290 equivalent

1025
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:25,440
or greater in order to and I'm I would

1026
01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:29,440
guess that this is sort of along the lines of what would give you a good experience playing something like E

1027
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:33,440
Valkyrie. Yeah, based on that a lot of it black space.

1028
01:12:31,440 --> 01:12:37,760
Yeah. Um, if you're going to want to be playing, you know, something like uh

1029
01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:41,280
Grand Theft Auto 5 or Skyrim with a whack ton of mods on or something like

1030
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:43,120
that, good luck. Yeah, it's going to be really, really,

1031
01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:47,520
really hard. It's basically all we have to say about that.

1032
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:51,120
Yep. And like the thing is for people that are going to get mad, they need to

1033
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:54,640
get these specs up there so that they can push higher resolution panels and

1034
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:58,719
whatnot so it actually looks good, doesn't make you feel sick, and is

1035
01:12:56,000 --> 01:13:03,760
worthwhile even doing at all. It's a important thing to think about.

1036
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:08,080
On the subject of Richard 3, Carol Karine posted Richard.

1037
01:13:05,679 --> 01:13:12,000
Did I say Richard three? I I don't know. I heard that. You

1038
01:13:09,679 --> 01:13:17,239
Oh, sorry. Witcher 3. Uh Carol Karine posted on our forum. This is from uh

1039
01:13:14,239 --> 01:13:17,239
reddit.com/witcher.

1040
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:23,280
Well, r/witcher, I guess, is the way that people would normally say that.

1041
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:27,360
I've left out the R. I'm sorry. R/witcher. Um, reviews have apparently

1042
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:32,640
gone up a week before release and there's nothing lower than 8 out of 10

1043
01:13:29,679 --> 01:13:35,920
with Kotaku rating it yes. That's cool.

1044
01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:38,960
With that said, that doesn't Well, look at this. Games Radar four out of five. I

1045
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:45,280
dearly hope that the day zero patch eliminates the technical issues. It's

1046
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:46,960
literally the first line. Um,

1047
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:50,960
also known as there's nothing else interesting right now. Please read our

1048
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:54,320
article. We rated it really high. You know, that's another really interesting

1049
01:13:52,239 --> 01:13:58,480
perspective because a lot of people will a lot of people will talk about how the

1050
01:13:56,320 --> 01:14:00,480
game companies must be paying the, you know, the press to give a good game

1051
01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:06,560
review. And you know what? I'm sure there are cases of that. But the way

1052
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:09,600
that it actually works, it's going to be a lot more complicated than that. It's

1053
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:14,960
going to be, hey, we're running a giant campaign with you to advertise for

1054
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:16,560
Witcher 3. And in most cases, uh, you

1055
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:20,800
know, an editor is not going to be blatant enough to tell a reviewer, give

1056
01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:26,159
it a good review. It's going to be more of like an unspoken thing. But aside

1057
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:30,480
from the whole paid for reviews thing, remember these guys don't get paid

1058
01:14:28,480 --> 01:14:34,000
anything if people aren't reading the reviews. So there's a lot of different

1059
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:37,040
ways that you can get people to read your reviews. You could be like Yatsi

1060
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:42,239
over at the Escapist. You can make them entertaining if not informative. Um you

1061
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:45,920
can be controversial like that ridiculous thing. I can't remember what

1062
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:49,840
site it was on about the uh the Shadow of Mordor scene where you learn your

1063
01:14:48,159 --> 01:14:53,199
sneak attack by kissing the white. Well, exactly. I thought you were talking about uh

1064
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:57,360
stirring up stirring up controversy. Star Wars Battle

1065
01:14:55,679 --> 01:15:02,560
something. The one that's coming out. Battlefront. Yeah. I always want to say Battlefield.

1066
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:06,719
They're so similar. Anyways, Star Wars Battlefront coming out with IGN being

1067
01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:11,679
like there's no need to worry. Actually, we're really worried in two different

1068
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:15,040
videos like that. Yeah. Um, so, so you

1069
01:15:11,679 --> 01:15:16,800
can be controversial or you can you can

1070
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:19,920
have an article that says the game is really great. So when someone's going

1071
01:15:18,239 --> 01:15:24,960
and looking for an excuse to buy it cuz come on, let's face it, that's how we buy things. We look for someone to tell

1072
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:29,120
us we're making a good decision. That's what we want to hear. So you

1073
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:34,000
you think something's bad, you'll Google blah blah blah blah blah issues. And you

1074
01:15:31,440 --> 01:15:38,800
think something's good, you'll be like top five

1075
01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:40,080
features of The Witcher 3. Yeah. like

1076
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:43,760
it's a thing. Is The Witcher 3 worth buying? And you

1077
01:15:42,239 --> 01:15:49,760
know the top one of course is going to be yes. Yeah. Um so so that's actually a really good

1078
01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:53,520
really good point is you know what's in it for these reviewers giving it a good

1079
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:56,159
score. Should we pre-order it based on that the reviews are

1080
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:59,520
I don't like scores ever at all. At least they gave out review copies.

1081
01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:04,400
Yep. That's better than some other folks are doing these days. At least the reviewers

1082
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:08,320
even got a crack at it before it was released. really rare that people allow

1083
01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:11,440
reviews to go out before release at all anyways.

1084
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:14,239
So, that's kind of cool because usually it would go out on day of release so

1085
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:18,400
that all the pre-order guys already spent their money. Yeah. So, so that's been the trend

1086
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:22,480
lately. So, this is this is definitely better, but I would still wait for user

1087
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:26,000
reviews. Do you really need to play Witcher 3 one week early? You've waited

1088
01:16:24,239 --> 01:16:28,960
this long. I mean, I guess if you're into having

1089
01:16:27,440 --> 01:16:32,159
the experience at the same time as your buddies. Yep. Nah,

1090
01:16:30,719 --> 01:16:36,400
I understand wanting it right away. I'm going to wait. I get I have enough backlog that it

1091
01:16:34,480 --> 01:16:40,000
doesn't matter. So, whatever. I guess I won't wait cuz

1092
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:45,280
we're going to benchmark it. Good bites posted in the forum that

1093
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:49,199
Microsoft has released. Remember that super cool video stabilization thing

1094
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:53,760
they were doing? They have released Hyperlapse.

1095
01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:58,320
This is freaking awesome. You can I think you have to apply for the beta.

1096
01:16:55,920 --> 01:17:04,640
Yeah, we really need to uh you have to apply for the beta on uh Android, I

1097
01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:06,000
believe, as well as uh Windows phone.

1098
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:10,800
Can't remember what all the rules are. Some of them you have to apply. Some of them you can just download it. But

1099
01:17:08,719 --> 01:17:15,760
pretty much you can take crappy camera footage and turn it into like this super

1100
01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:18,719
smooth uh this page isn't loading very well, but I hope you get the point.

1101
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:23,440
I want to do it with a GoPro. I want to go on a hike with a GoPro and then hyperlapse the whole hike.

1102
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:28,320
Man, that looks cool. So, it uses really advanced processing to turn the scene

1103
01:17:25,440 --> 01:17:35,120
into like a 3D model and then it uses that to stabilize it instead of the um

1104
01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:37,520
sort of the the the more reactive

1105
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:41,600
correction that more traditional shaky cam reduction techniques have used.

1106
01:17:39,440 --> 01:17:45,840
Very, very cool stuff. Apparently works with phone footage, GoPro footage. Um I

1107
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:50,159
really want to try it out now that it's out. That just dropped uh today if I

1108
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:52,400
recall correctly. That's cool. I'm going to sign up for

1109
01:17:51,440 --> 01:17:59,679
that beta. Um, Corsair has

1110
01:17:56,080 --> 01:18:01,760
128 gig DDR4 memory kits. How much are

1111
01:17:59,679 --> 01:18:04,640
they going to cost you? If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

1112
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:11,199
Yep. Over $1,000. RAM for the rich and nerdy, says the

1113
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:18,560
PCWorld.com article. Uh, so they have them up to

1114
01:18:13,440 --> 01:18:20,320
2666 megahertz, I want to say. Um,

1115
01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:24,560
Kingston is saying their upcoming big ass set will hit speeds of 3,000

1116
01:18:22,480 --> 01:18:28,159
megahertz. So, what could you want to do with something like this? Oh, I don't

1117
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:33,440
know. You could create a 100 Gigabyte RAM drive with 28 gigs left for system

1118
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:36,960
memory, I guess, if you're into that sort of thing. Here we go. Here we go.

1119
01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:46,199
Here we go. The cheaper of the two is just shy of $2,000 with the more

1120
01:18:39,679 --> 01:18:46,199
expensive 2666 kit running you $2120.

1121
01:18:46,239 --> 01:18:54,719
I believe GSkill is working on something as well, but with them, I think it was

1122
01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:59,520
64 gig four stick kits, whereas these

1123
01:18:54,719 --> 01:19:00,880
are 128 gig 8 stick kits from Corsair

1124
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:05,679
and Kingston. So, I've already reached out to Corsair for a sample. Um, I

1125
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:09,280
really doubt we'll get to keep that sample. I was just going to say they're either

1126
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:12,640
probably going to say no or you can have it for like four days.

1127
01:19:10,719 --> 01:19:16,239
Yeah. and then send it to someone else to to talk because there's nothing to

1128
01:19:14,719 --> 01:19:20,960
really cover about it. You're going to put it in a system. You're going to be like, "Yep,

1129
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:23,679
the number of recognized RAM is very high."

1130
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:27,600
Yep. And hooray.

1131
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:31,040
Moving on. And it's We won't even be the first time we've put 128 gigs of RAM in

1132
01:19:29,679 --> 01:19:35,360
a system. We have one downstairs right now with 128 gigs of RAM in it. What's

1133
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:39,840
interesting about this is the fact that it's um unbuffered memory and it works

1134
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:44,640
on a consumer platform with a consumer grade CPU rather than being like an ECC

1135
01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:51,920
registered server gym. Yeah. Um I had one other topic that I posted

1136
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:55,600
somewhere down below. Uh this is this is a rumor and this is in the rejected pile

1137
01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:59,679
but I just thought it was funny. Sam Fischer posted on the forum Netflix

1138
01:19:57,600 --> 01:20:05,280
reportedly planning Top Gear revival called House of Cars. Uh there there is

1139
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:08,159
no confirmation that if they went after Clarkson and his crew, which right now

1140
01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:13,280
it's up in the air, they could be negotiating with anyone. It is rumored that Netflix is negotiating with them. I

1141
01:20:11,679 --> 01:20:17,199
really doubt they would call it House of Cars. That would be I really freaking hope they would.

1142
01:20:15,679 --> 01:20:20,560
Pretty much the stupidest thing ever. I would still watch it, but I really

1143
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:27,280
hope they would. House of Cars. Um and this uh just

1144
01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:30,640
dropped today as well. You can tour

1145
01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:34,000
Razer's flagship store, the first of

1146
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:37,280
many according to Mintan CEO. So, it has

1147
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:39,840
a very Apple store, Microsoft Store kind

1148
01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:43,600
of vibe, and much like those other stores is pretty much a one-stop shop

1149
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:47,679
for everything Razer. You can get hands-on with pretty much any of their

1150
01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:52,320
products. Very cool concept. Two years ago, you

1151
01:20:50,480 --> 01:20:55,440
would have told me Razer has a retail store, and I would have said, "What

1152
01:20:53,679 --> 01:20:59,280
would they need a retail store for? It could like you could put it in a closet.

1153
01:20:57,600 --> 01:21:02,880
Here's the wall of mice. Here's the wall of keyboards. And here's the trash bin

1154
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:07,040
out back with the headsets that you probably shouldn't buy. Um whereas now

1155
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:12,000
they're getting to the point where they have enough really cool technology and

1156
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:15,280
enough accessories to go with it that you can kind of go, "Oh yeah, crap. I

1157
01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:20,480
guess I I kind of get it." Like might still be there. Yeah. The headsets I'm still not a huge

1158
01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:24,480
fan of and M knows that, but you know, uh whatever. Um there's there's cuz

1159
01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:27,920
there's a lot of stuff that you could show off in a store like this that might

1160
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:31,920
not even necessarily run on Razer's own hardware, but is their technology. Razer

1161
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:33,840
coms, for example. They could have, you know, like a little, you know, LAN

1162
01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:39,120
setup. I was going to say like a four four by four games for which even looks like

1163
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:42,400
they could be doing um just constantly set up with the headsets that they have

1164
01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:46,320
right there. So you could have a little mini land. Um so they could be showing off their

1165
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:52,960
software technology. They could be showing off their streaming technology on the fourth console. if you could like

1166
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:54,480
uh book time for like little gaming tournaments and stuff in there. I don't

1167
01:21:54,239 --> 01:22:00,560
know. So, they're apparently allowing fans to vote. Uh although realistically, I mean,

1168
01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:04,639
they're smart people. They probably already have a road map for where they want to launch stores, but they're

1169
01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:09,679
apparently letting fans vote on where they want to see stores next. And um

1170
01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:14,159
these guys really do look like they're on the fast track to kicking a whole ton

1171
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:20,480
of ass. I don't like everything they do, but as you guys know, I'm a huge fan of

1172
01:22:16,719 --> 01:22:22,000
the Blade 14 notebook in particular. Um,

1173
01:22:20,480 --> 01:22:24,960
really love a lot of the other stuff that they've done. Not a big fan of some

1174
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:31,199
of the other stuff that they've done, but you can't deny that they are a marketing juggernaut. And the brand

1175
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:36,159
recognition that they have for what would have been a completely niche

1176
01:22:33,679 --> 01:22:40,639
business, gaming peripherals, you know, five or 10 years ago is absolutely

1177
01:22:38,719 --> 01:22:44,560
incredible. So, good on them. Good on them for figuring out a way to uh to

1178
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:49,120
take their brand to the next level. And these boutique stores seem to be uh

1179
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:52,480
starting with Apple, the way that uh the way that brands are doing this these

1180
01:22:50,719 --> 01:22:55,760
days. So, here's there's actually a video where Min shows you around the

1181
01:22:54,080 --> 01:23:01,520
store. So, I haven't actually watched it yet. I was just checking out some pictures of it. They actually apparently

1182
01:22:58,639 --> 01:23:05,040
had to shut down the mall uh because there were so many people that it was a

1183
01:23:03,440 --> 01:23:07,520
safety concern. Wow. Lined up to go to the Razor store in

1184
01:23:06,639 --> 01:23:10,400
Taiwan. Holy cow. These guys are so good at presentation.

1185
01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:15,760
Yeah. Like this stuff does not look like this when it's on my desk. It's like uh

1186
01:23:14,239 --> 01:23:18,800
jewelry jewelry shopping. It's low light in that specific area. It

1187
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:23,920
looks really cool. Like it's like jewelry shopping, you know? The the the color temperature of

1188
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:28,400
the light they use to illuminate the diamonds is specifically chosen to make

1189
01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:33,600
them sparkle better. Like it's it's down to a freaking science. And Razer is

1190
01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:35,840
really really good at that stuff. Yeah.

1191
01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:40,880
So, uh there you go. That's what the store looks like, give or take two, two

1192
01:23:38,719 --> 01:23:44,000
and a half minutes of video or so. Um, so I guess do you have did you have

1193
01:23:42,480 --> 01:23:48,080
anything else? I'm pretty much done. That was all I wanted to talk about today.

1194
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:52,639
Uh, thank you guys very much for tuning in. Uh, we love the WAN Show, especially

1195
01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:56,400
when you guys watch. I guess finals must be over cuz there are 6,500 of you

1196
01:23:54,880 --> 01:24:00,080
watching live. Thank you. You're all awesome. It's so hot.

1197
01:23:58,560 --> 01:24:03,679
It is really hot in here even though the Windows open. We need that cross breeze.

1198
01:24:02,239 --> 01:24:07,760
I can't wait to move into the new office. We're like 6 to 8 weeks away,

1199
01:24:05,679 --> 01:24:13,840
though, guys. It's like not happening soon. And we have no space

1200
01:24:10,960 --> 01:24:18,159
here. We might have to do another U-Haul just to clear up enough space.

1201
01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:22,000
We might have to do like more than one. Yeah, there's like a lot of

1202
01:24:20,159 --> 01:24:24,000
Oh, just to clear up enough space. Yeah. Yeah. To like survive here.

1203
01:24:23,679 --> 01:24:30,480
Yeah. No, I think we'll have to do multiple U-Hauls to the new place. I thought you meant like to move us. I

1204
01:24:28,159 --> 01:24:32,159
was like, dude, that wasn't even that much stuff at all.

1205
01:24:31,679 --> 01:24:37,360
No, that barely made a dent. And like a big problem is we're not going to be able to

1206
01:24:35,440 --> 01:24:41,520
make very efficient use of the U-Haul because so much of what we have has no

1207
01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:47,520
packaging or protection. So like unless someone's literally riding in the back

1208
01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:48,560
like holding things in place. That's not

1209
01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:52,719
that's not happen. Channel Super Fun. No. Channel Super Fun.

1210
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:55,760
That's not fun. That's dangerous and illegal. We've never done anything illegal on

1211
01:24:55,360 --> 01:25:00,639
channel. We've done stuff that's dangerous.

1212
01:24:59,679 --> 01:25:04,080
What did you just Hi. Thanks for tuning in to the W show.

1213

Oh, it didn't work. I knew it. I knew it. I

1214
01:25:07,360 --> 01:25:12,480
win. I win. The game of this thing is super broken.

1215
01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:20,440
You win nothing. Oh, at least I don't have small butt.

1216
01:25:16,880 --> 01:25:23,440
I'm dead though. So, thank God.

1217
01:25:23,440 --> 01:25:29,199
Whoa. Squish the stars. It like bumps up

1218
01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:34,800
