00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:07.279
Hello. Okay. Welcome to the WAN Show, guys. We

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:10.240
are a little late. We're No, we're right. Do they even

00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:15.679
I was talking in the Twitch chat. We're right. We are now a top shelf wine.

00:00:12.559 --> 00:00:17.760
Do they even want to hear why at this

00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:21.199
point? Is it Is it just Is it Is it Are they just tired of my excuses?

00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:23.359
I don't think we should bother anymore cuz like is it actually really any

00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:30.080
different? How about just a short summary? Sure. We don't touch the computer from

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:34.719
week to week and yet it doesn't work when we sit back down in front of it.

00:00:32.480 --> 00:00:38.239
Capture cards are a giant steaming pile of garbage.

00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:43.440
Basically all of them as far as I can tell. And uh what was the other what was

00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:48.320
the other other bit this week? Uh well yeah uh we Okay. Okay. I had to give

00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:52.079
back the XLR audio interface that I had borrowed for the last couple of weeks to

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:55.360
find out if that would work with our external compressor and and so I had to

00:00:54.160 --> 00:01:01.680
give that back. So I had to reconfigure that. But I knew that was coming. That part was actually fine. It was the part

00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:08.880
that really bothers me is the part where I literally do not touch this entire

00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:12.880
corner of the building for a week and I come back and it doesn't work.

00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:17.759
The camera does get taken down every week. Yeah, but that's not the issue,

00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:19.600
right? But you are unplugging things. It's not like it was just running for

00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:24.479
the whole week. I didn't.

00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.880
But it doesn't matter if you do. And actually, the camera did not get

00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:30.560
unplugged this week. It wasn't here. What do you mean it wasn't here?

00:01:29.119 --> 00:01:34.079
You said the camera wasn't You told me it wasn't set up. What camera? Well, no, it was it was

00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:40.240
sitting here. Just like it didn't have a lens on it. Oh, yeah. But a lens does not affect the

00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:44.240
connection between the SDI cable and the converter and the capture card.

00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:48.159
So, like I don't understand. I I feel like we need to just simplify things.

00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:52.640
Like uh I used to do a lot of Wii U streams using a media cards, which is

00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:55.200
like a video capture off of something. Y and never had a single problem with any

00:01:54.320 --> 00:02:00.240
of those streams. Yep. And yet here we are with a media

00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:03.920
cards and other cards. We're trying to use Blackmagic ones and we still have them in the computer which

00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:06.640
is probably causing problem. Yeah. No, I don't think that's causing the problem today.

00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:11.520
Sure. That was that was definitely part of the issue. That was definitely part of the

00:02:10.239 --> 00:02:16.080
issue, but nothing to do with the fact that our live gamer portable um all of a

00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:19.760
sudden needs a bunch of audio delayed. Anyway, so let's get right into what

00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:23.360
topics we have today. We got one of them. What?

00:02:21.920 --> 00:02:25.680
We said one of them, didn't we? Uh no, we didn't even get to one of them.

00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:29.480
No. All right, that's a classic.

00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:34.879
Go for it. Amazon drone service is there's no other

00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:39.120
notes other than that. So, there's probably some information about the Amazon drone service.

00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:44.640
More details. Also, Radeon Fury X2 is on the way.

00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:49.120
Something we kind of knew. Uh, Just Cause 3 runs like garbage on the

00:02:46.640 --> 00:02:53.440
consoles, which we probably could have guessed. Yeah.

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:54.800
Even if we didn't already know. And VTEC

00:02:53.440 --> 00:02:58.720
basically just I mean, not because they not because

00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:02.879
they had any kind of a choice in the matter, but they admit that their tablet

00:03:01.200 --> 00:03:07.280
was recording personal data and that they were storing it. And this was a toy tablet, right? Yes.

00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:10.319
So, without going super deep into the topic, is it worse because it's for

00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:14.640
kids? Yes. It is way worse. It is many, many, many

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:17.760
times worse because they are minors. I had to ask him because he's a parent.

00:03:16.239 --> 00:03:22.480
I already had that opinion, but his matters more. I didn't think I was that obvious.

00:03:20.640 --> 00:03:27.159
I think it's pretty obvious that it matters more if it's a No, you called me a parent.

00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:36.200
Settle

00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.959
first base.

00:03:57.040 --> 00:04:03.920
All right, guys. So, uh Oh, everyone's

00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:09.360
uh everyone's all everyone's all upset about my about my fantastic dad jokes.

00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:13.360
I liked it. It was good. Especially because I was saying that I had to ask

00:04:11.519 --> 00:04:15.519
that because you were a dad. So, the timing was good and the quality was

00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:24.479
good. Haters going to hate. Yo. All right. So, this is this is about the least expected

00:04:21.359 --> 00:04:26.320
use of Jeremy Clarkson's talents that I

00:04:24.479 --> 00:04:30.479
could have possibly seen coming over over there at Amazon. But um

00:04:28.960 --> 00:04:34.000
is it muted? Do you want it to be muted? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Muted is fine because

00:04:32.400 --> 00:04:38.880
basically they just have him explain that Junior here needs some cleats or

00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:43.120
something and then whatever. If only there were some way that Amazon could

00:04:40.960 --> 00:04:46.960
send it to you. I wonder how much Puma paid for this product placement.

00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:51.360
Uh cuz he says the name of the specific cleat literally like it felt like six

00:04:48.880 --> 00:04:55.680
times in the video. So this is cool. So this is a V tall V tall drone which

00:04:53.759 --> 00:05:00.160
means vertical takeoff and landing. Actual flight footage not simulated

00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:03.199
apparently. And then what it does is because you can see it's kind of got a

00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:07.919
weird shape to it here. It actually converts to auge it converts to a

00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:11.120
forward flight craft. What the crap?

00:05:09.280 --> 00:05:17.840
Just like that. So it has a range of I think they were figuring something to the tune of around 18 miles. It uses

00:05:14.880 --> 00:05:22.240
sensors to sense things, you know, flight data like speed and whatever.

00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:27.199
That that looks kind of simulated. And then basically it finds a suitable

00:05:23.919 --> 00:05:29.039
landing point delivery zone. And I think

00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:31.440
there's actually like a little like like print out tag you put in your yard.

00:05:31.039 --> 00:05:36.240
Oh, okay. That it that it goes and finds. Then they actually show it landing right on

00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:43.039
it. Now, I was one of those people who was

00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:45.440
in the camp of this is pure this is pure

00:05:43.039 --> 00:05:50.560
uh April Fool's joke. They are messing around with us. Um I I was of the

00:05:49.039 --> 00:05:54.639
mindset that they were just messing with us when they originally announced that

00:05:52.400 --> 00:06:00.400
they would deliver packages by drone. But it looks like they are actually

00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:05.199
serious about this. uh they have done a fair bit of R&D presumably uh based on

00:06:03.280 --> 00:06:08.479
what they're saying in the video about you know how the drones have sensors to

00:06:06.880 --> 00:06:12.800
go around you know hot air balloons or whatever else. So they're working on it

00:06:10.479 --> 00:06:17.919
and they they seem to be like for real about making this happened. Apparently

00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:20.319
it is designed to safely get packages to

00:06:17.919 --> 00:06:25.680
customers in 30 minutes or less making it actually faster for a small item. Um

00:06:23.919 --> 00:06:29.919
Mr. Clarkson works in a little joke about how the dog who chewed up the shoe

00:06:27.840 --> 00:06:33.520
is now getting a chew toy along with the new shoes.

00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:37.600
Um, so as long as they are small, lightweight items in under 30 minutes,

00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:40.720
there is no launch date. The drone in the video can fly for 15

00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:46.240
miles. 15 miles. Sorry, I said 18 miles, I think. My bad. 15 miles.

00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:49.520
Um, so that that means that not everyone's

00:06:48.080 --> 00:06:53.520
really going to be able to get this. And I wonder how widespread this is actually

00:06:51.280 --> 00:06:58.560
going to be considering the Amazon Fresh campaign. Is that still only in Seattle?

00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:01.360
Amazon Fresh I thought they were in New York too.

00:06:59.520 --> 00:07:06.319
They might be. I'm not sure. I I haven't looked this up. I was just thinking about that right now. Um Amazon seems to

00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:11.280
do things but then not necessarily spread them out actually all that well.

00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:15.039
Yeah, Amazon Fresh subsidiary company in Seattle, Washington. It revived the

00:07:13.280 --> 00:07:19.440
business model of ordering groceries online and bippity boppity bippity

00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:23.440
boppity product lines. uh selected parts of center city, Philadelphia,

00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:26.479
Pennsylvania, New York City on October 17th, 2014. So yeah, it's a San

00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:31.599
Francisco, San Diego. Still kind of taking some time to spread out. Yes, it's doing okay though.

00:07:29.520 --> 00:07:36.319
Yeah, we're we're obviously this is not something where it's like, yes, this is

00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:39.360
driving 18% of our annual revenue. Uh

00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:41.199
yeah, nothing like that. But um

00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:45.360
and and there's still problems just like there was last time where putting Prime

00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:48.479
Air into service will this is a quote, putting Prime Air into service will take

00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:53.280
some time, but we will deploy when we have the regulatory support needed to

00:07:51.039 --> 00:07:56.639
realize our vision. That's huge. Yeah, it's going to take a while. And I

00:07:55.039 --> 00:08:00.240
mean, this doesn't address a lot of the other issues as well. So the drones that

00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:06.000
the drone they showed off there apparently flies at about 400 ft. So for

00:08:03.520 --> 00:08:09.599
the um for the metric people it's about 130 m

00:08:07.440 --> 00:08:12.240
uh which it's it's not very high.

00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:18.400
No actually. So if if the whole thing that people are joking about online and you

00:08:16.400 --> 00:08:22.160
know if someone jokes about it the hunting the drones thing

00:08:19.840 --> 00:08:24.479
if if a thousand people joke about it online

00:08:22.960 --> 00:08:28.479
one person's going to do it. One will do it. And that's kind of all it's going to

00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:32.479
take is for one person to shoot like a net gun at a drone,

00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:36.240
have it come down, peg some kid in the head, kill them, and then

00:08:34.640 --> 00:08:38.959
I was just going to say the first one that falls is going to be really

00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:45.200
interesting. Yep. Can Amazon just peg its way out of

00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:49.600
this, you know, like here's $6 million. Sorry your kid's dead or whatever. Like

00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:55.120
I don't know. Will they will they keep the program going at that point? How important is it

00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:59.760
for people to get things in 30 minutes? Currently about airplanes like reg

00:08:57.920 --> 00:09:06.000
regulatory maintenance issues where they're they're repairing the planes out

00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:07.200
of the states because there's lower uh I

00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:11.120
don't know what the right word for it is. Uh you don't have to be as careful

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:15.600
when you're doing maintenance when you do it outside of the states. So

00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:19.760
seriously, airplane people like airlines. Yes, looser regulations.

00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:23.680
That's what I was looking for. Uh there's lower amounts of regulations, looser regulations for repairing

00:09:22.560 --> 00:09:28.000
airplanes. So they're doing it outside of the states. Uh they're already

00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:33.839
sketchy about airplanes. Think about drones. Are they going to be doing maintenance checks on these things like

00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:35.120
every trip or every couple trips? I

00:09:33.839 --> 00:09:42.560
doubt it. Yeah, unless Amazon has like robots that are

00:09:37.839 --> 00:09:44.000
going to do that, but then I don't know.

00:09:42.560 --> 00:09:49.040
It's a really cool idea. People are saying that the the limit for drones is 400 feet and that's why. Yeah,

00:09:47.839 --> 00:09:52.800
but that's not really the point. The point is that people will be bringing them down.

00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:57.440
Yes. So yeah, I mean if the US changes the

00:09:55.519 --> 00:10:02.640
regulations and allows Amazon to fly them higher, then that's that opens up a

00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:06.640
whole other can of worms because someone in the chat said, "So I guess

00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:10.760
we're all wondering if Amazon Prime Air is gonna take off."

00:10:12.640 --> 00:10:18.720
Um, probably sounded horrible.

00:10:16.640 --> 00:10:22.640
Sorry everyone. Um, so I there was one other comment

00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:27.040
that I wanted to make about it. Uh, right. Yeah. One of the first one of

00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:31.120
the top comments on the on the video was from someone saying like, "Oh, you know,

00:10:28.959 --> 00:10:35.920
the the couriers must be must be really worried about this." To which I would

00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:40.880
reply, I really don't think so. Amazon even now is positioning this and and

00:10:38.079 --> 00:10:45.839
intelligently so is positioning this as a as a premium service.

00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:48.800
Yeah. So, this is not like you need to have a mark. Like, if you

00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:52.959
saw in the video, you need to have a little like drop the package here thing

00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:55.519
in your yard. I don't know how many people are going to actually do that.

00:10:54.160 --> 00:10:58.320
Well, no. I think you just you just like print it when you place your order and you chuck it there.

00:10:57.839 --> 00:11:04.000
Oh, yeah. I don't think it's It looked like it was down in the grass. I don't think it's permanent.

00:11:01.839 --> 00:11:07.519
It It looks I don't know in the video. Okay. But maybe they like did a heavy

00:11:06.079 --> 00:11:11.519
one so that it wouldn't like get blown away. It would probably look better.

00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:15.760
Yet yet another concern. It ends up in your neighbor's yard. and

00:11:12.800 --> 00:11:18.320
they're like, "Nope, my property now." Um,

00:11:16.800 --> 00:11:24.320
what? Yeah. What happens when it screws up a delivery? Yeah. So, so, okay, there's a lot of

00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:29.200
concerns. Okay. So, A, it's expensive. B, this is going to be for lightweight

00:11:26.640 --> 00:11:30.959
items only, small orders only. I'm pretty sure

00:11:29.920 --> 00:11:36.640
they were doing cleats. Yeah. I'm pretty sure that UPS is not

00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:40.240
worried at this point about, you know, all the people ordering like half the I

00:11:38.800 --> 00:11:44.240
I'm just trying to think what percentage of the stuff we order off of Amazon

00:11:42.079 --> 00:11:46.720
would fit in a little drone like that. Us? Not much.

00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:49.680
Yeah, not not much. It's like if you order a computer case, I don't think

00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:53.600
there's going to be the like the jumbo drone. With that said, for the like books and stuff, if you can

00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:58.480
carry cleats, you might be able to carry a book or two. And Zeppelin technology is coming back.

00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:03.600
That's awesome. Zeppelin are coming back, my friend. So

00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:07.839
if they can get the Zeppelin drone going, as long as they don't make the

00:12:05.920 --> 00:12:10.639
like a crane lower out of it and drop your package off like crane lowers out

00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:14.240
and then it just like tilts up and just slides off. Yeah. I mean, okay. As long as they

00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:16.959
don't make the zeppelins out of hydrogen or lead, then we're in really good

00:12:16.160 --> 00:12:21.519
shape. Yeah. There you go.

00:12:19.839 --> 00:12:24.320
All right. Uh let's just see if there's anything else to really say about it.

00:12:22.880 --> 00:12:28.240
Probably Probably not. I don't know. We've talked about this thing like three times. Almost nothing's

00:12:26.959 --> 00:12:34.079
changed except there's a video now. Well, the smart the the video changes a

00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:39.279
lot for me because seeing seeing such an elegant design for a V tall plane um

00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:42.079
Oh, the drone the drone itself is super cool. Makes a big difference to me because

00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:46.079
when they originally did the April Fool's joke, they were using a

00:12:43.920 --> 00:12:50.240
quadcopter drone or or a six copter drone if I recall correctly. And that's

00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:54.079
like some of the stuff out of China, right? where we've seen like, you know,

00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:59.680
early attempts to it's all like these six copter like

00:12:56.079 --> 00:13:02.399
just total like disaster over long

00:12:59.680 --> 00:13:08.320
distances designs whereas yeah if you can go all plane all plane

00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:10.720
uh you know forward flying on it then it

00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:15.600
might actually work. Very very cool. I want to know what prevents people from

00:13:13.680 --> 00:13:18.639
capturing them when they land in their yard. Like

00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:22.800
I'm sure they have sensors, cameras, whatever.

00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:28.320
Yeah, I I'm I'm fairly sure that I could order something to anyone's address for

00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:33.279
one thing. I could put on a ski mask or whatever and like capture the drone when

00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:37.680
it lands, put it in a lead box and you know take it away to I don't know like

00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:40.639
I'm sure I'm someone's if something is valuable someone will come up with a way

00:13:39.680 --> 00:13:45.839
to steal it. Yeah. Period. Someone will probably get one.

00:13:43.040 --> 00:13:49.920
Yeah. or it'll land and drop off its thing and then

00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:54.800
and then not really be able to leave. Like I don't know, something's going to happen.

00:13:52.560 --> 00:13:58.399
I guess it's funny. You have people are worried about like automation and

00:13:56.160 --> 00:14:02.240
rightfully so. But uh I mean that creates a new job, right? The guy whose

00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:07.040
job it is to get in his car and drive to drive to the customer's house be like,

00:14:04.160 --> 00:14:09.680
"Hey, yeah, sorry. The drone's in the backyard. Can I just

00:14:07.920 --> 00:14:15.199
Here's a here's a here's a gift card. I'm going to go get that.

00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:20.480
Thanks for that. Um, so that was posted on the forum by

00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:25.360
uh, Pixel Density. Thank you for that. Uh, next article today posted by PCBond

00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:32.079
on the forum. YouTube Beyond seeks to compete with Netflix. Original

00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:36.320
article here is from rstechnica.co.uk.

00:14:32.079 --> 00:14:38.720
And I think YouTube's intentions of, you

00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:43.199
know, getting movie deals and TV show deals, um, and wanting more more

00:14:41.040 --> 00:14:49.680
professionally made premium content is not exactly new. But what is new is that

00:14:47.920 --> 00:14:53.199
there's some more details about them being perhaps a little bit more serious

00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:57.360
about it than last time around. So, the Wall Street Journal reported that

00:14:54.800 --> 00:15:02.079
YouTube is looking to bolster YouTube Red specifically with TV shows and

00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:05.279
movies because YouTube Premium or whatever they called it before, you

00:15:03.760 --> 00:15:07.839
could rent movies on YouTube before. That's not new. And you've been able to watch like UFC

00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:12.800
fights and Yep. But so, but but that was pay-per-view

00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:17.680
and rentals. Yeah. Whereas this would be a like basically a direct shot across

00:15:14.880 --> 00:15:21.519
the bow of Netflix by saying, "Okay, no, we want to have a monthly subscription

00:15:19.199 --> 00:15:27.279
that also includes TV shows and movies." And if they pull this off, I mean,

00:15:24.959 --> 00:15:32.240
YouTube Red effectively becomes your Spotify,

00:15:28.800 --> 00:15:34.000
your Netflix, and your adree YouTube.

00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:37.279
Like, the adast free YouTube for 10 bucks a month is

00:15:35.760 --> 00:15:40.560
already a compelling enough value that I'm probably going to do it. And then you get music, and you might

00:15:39.839 --> 00:15:46.079
get movies as well. And you might get movies and and TV shows. And TV shows

00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:50.160
and TV shows. I mean, ad free adree YouTube

00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:53.920
from a purely I need my kids to shut up for half an hour while I get a little

00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:57.759
bit more sleep in the morning is already enough for me to spend the $10 a month

00:15:55.519 --> 00:16:03.759
on it. Because let me tell you, a one-year-old is super interested in, you

00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:07.199
know, A is for Apple. A a apple. And

00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:10.240
then when some ad for like bor skin

00:16:07.199 --> 00:16:12.320
cream comes on, she starts she starts

00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:19.360
mashing at it. She starts throwing it. She starts making noise. I'm like, "No,

00:16:16.560 --> 00:16:25.040
I'm still sleeping. A is for Apple, please."

00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:29.759
And and snoozing in the morning when you get woken up every literally every three

00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:34.079
and a half minutes when the ad comes on. And you know, it's amazing how much the

00:16:32.160 --> 00:16:39.120
way that YouTube has monetized kids content has changed in the last two

00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:40.720
years. Because when my son was one and I

00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:46.000
wanted to sleep in in the morning, like kids TV 123 had almost no ads on it.

00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:51.120
Like one out of every 30 videos that played was going to be monetized. Now

00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:52.800
it's like every single one.

00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:58.880
Well, it's a huge percentage of YouTube at this point. Yep. Yeah. But I just I thought that

00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:05.520
the, you know, kids advertising kids advertising laws were a little

00:17:01.920 --> 00:17:07.439
complicated, which isn't to Yeah. Which

00:17:05.520 --> 00:17:10.000
then again, I guess, you know, TV does it too.

00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:13.280
Yeah, TV does it too. Yeah, but there's like rules depending on the country.

00:17:11.760 --> 00:17:17.439
Like in Canada, this is interesting. I have no idea about any of this.

00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:23.039
Yeah, in Canada a commercial can't start with, "Hey kids, do you want to buy the

00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:26.640
new Wild, wacky amazing adventure pack?"

00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:29.120
It has to be like, "Hey parents, do you

00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:32.160
want to buy for your kids the Wild Wacky Amazing Action Pack? Look at how amazing

00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:36.799
this thing is." Yeah. So, it has it's the voice that it's

00:17:35.120 --> 00:17:40.799
speaking. It has to address a different audience. Um, but I guess that leads us

00:17:39.280 --> 00:17:45.440
that actually leads us pretty well into this post by Z Mule on the forum. The

00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:48.799
original article here is Kit Guru and VTEC. VTEC got

00:17:48.080 --> 00:17:54.320
Oh jeez. Nailed son.

00:17:51.840 --> 00:17:58.559
So, if you you guys do you guys know VTEC? Like I only really know them from

00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:01.520
like clear plastic uh cordless, you know, phones.

00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:05.120
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Back when we had a landline. Yeah. A lot of people have those as

00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:10.400
landlines. At least at least here anyway. Like I'm pretty sure like future shop in the

00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:12.960
source. You walked in, you wanted a cordless phone, you walked up and

00:18:11.600 --> 00:18:18.480
you wanted and you wanted a relatively cheap one. 900 megahertz. Yeah.

00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:20.799
2.4 GHz. So remember how they wrote the V? Like

00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:28.240
there's tons of these. Yeah. So So basically they admit their

00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:30.320
toy hack affected 6.4

00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:34.080
million children. And this is this is great their statement about it. So I'll

00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:43.000
give you a bit more details after but regrettably our database was not as

00:18:37.919 --> 00:18:43.000
secure as it should have been.

00:18:45.120 --> 00:18:52.160
So in a nutshell um on the 14th of November it's learning lodge app store

00:18:49.679 --> 00:18:57.039
was broken into giving a hacker access to the customer database and kid connect

00:18:54.799 --> 00:18:59.600
services. So what's that the worst thing about this is that

00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:08.080
servers. Yeah. Um so this hack actually allowed

00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:10.799
them to get access not only to just like

00:19:08.080 --> 00:19:16.320
uh you know uh login and login and password but they actually were able to

00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:18.320
figure out the exact uh the exact

00:19:16.320 --> 00:19:22.240
accounts that they were tied to giving them access to way more personal

00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:26.640
information than just that. And they had a bunch of other stuff in their data in

00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:33.120
their uh in their system, including the hackers were able to access more than

00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:35.039
190 gigs of photos and audio logs off of

00:19:33.120 --> 00:19:39.360
these devices that can then be traced back to usernames and account details,

00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:44.720
which makes the security threat much more worrisome, especially considering

00:19:41.760 --> 00:19:51.919
this is a childfriendly marketed device. The Into Tab Max, our

00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:59.000
fastest tablet featuring Vsex VSX. Whoops. No, it doesn't have that on it.

00:19:53.600 --> 00:19:59.000
VTEC selected Android apps and games.

00:19:59.280 --> 00:20:05.679
That's really sketchy. I'm not a huge fan of it. Also, um, compromised other

00:20:04.080 --> 00:20:11.440
sites as well. One of them I can't even really say. Lumibo XRevs.

00:20:10.080 --> 00:20:16.720
I don't know. Probably said that super wrong. vmilelink.com. Sleepy Bear

00:20:13.919 --> 00:20:19.440
Lullaby Time, which is the greatest name for a website ever.

00:20:17.919 --> 00:20:25.600
Yeah, I kind of want to buy that site now. It reminds me of Channel Super Fun.

00:20:22.080 --> 00:20:26.720
Sleepy Bear Lullaby Time.com.

00:20:25.600 --> 00:20:30.720
So great. Anyways, so these are all VTEC uh owned entities.

00:20:30.320 --> 00:20:36.400
Yeah. So I guess uh I guess I don't know. What is

00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:41.440
there to really say? By the way, Zil posted this on the forum. Thanks for that. What is there to really say other

00:20:39.280 --> 00:20:45.520
than, you know, lock up your lock up your kids and keep them away from all

00:20:43.840 --> 00:20:48.000
internet? Hide your hide your what? It's hide your kids. Hide your kids.

00:20:47.280 --> 00:20:51.120
Lock up your kids. Lock up your daughters. That's the Oh,

00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:55.600
yeah. I thought you were going for internet meme. No, no, no, no.

00:20:53.840 --> 00:21:01.280
Hide your kids. Hide your wife. Yeah, cuz they hacking everybody out here.

00:20:58.080 --> 00:21:01.840
Yeah. Nothing. Nothing's safe. Eh,

00:21:01.280 --> 00:21:05.679
not really. I think I own VTEC stuff.

00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:10.080
Nothing. Nothing that collects any personal information. It's like I don't because the only thing I ever

00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:14.320
knew that they made were like relatively cheap phones.

00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:20.000
That's the only reason why I don't know. Yeah. No, I'm pretty sure they make lots of kids stuff cuz I have like this uh I

00:21:17.520 --> 00:21:23.520
have like this goofy um it's got like a keyboard on it and it's got like just

00:21:21.760 --> 00:21:27.679
kind of games like fill in the letter blank. Okay. And there's like a there's like a happy

00:21:26.159 --> 00:21:32.720
bear that asks you to fill in the letter, create a letter bridge.

00:21:29.760 --> 00:21:36.559
Uh yeah. No, not a sleeping bear. I love that website name. Um,

00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:41.280
sleepy bear by time. This is kind of a big deal. Posted by

00:21:39.360 --> 00:21:45.840
Commission. I don't know how to pronounce that, but uh on the forum. So,

00:21:43.760 --> 00:21:52.559
this is from geek.com. Sony unlocks the PlayStation 4's seventh

00:21:49.280 --> 00:21:54.240
processing core for developers. So, in a

00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:58.960
nutshell, this is something Microsoft already did a little while back um in

00:21:57.120 --> 00:22:04.400
order to get a little more competitive with the PlayStation 4 is the the AMD

00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:08.559
custom processor that they're actually both using, although different slightly

00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:12.799
slightly different versions of it, but the the actual CPU cores themselves,

00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:18.880
they're both using an 8 core APU of sorts. And uh so the Xbone was reserving

00:22:16.320 --> 00:22:24.480
two of its cores for things like uh connect, say, for example. Um,

00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:29.360
so Microsoft kind of went, "Oh, shoot. We're kind of losing the performance war." Because Microsoft went with a

00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:34.480
slightly slower tuned version. So they unlocked a seventh core which means that

00:22:31.600 --> 00:22:40.159
in games that need to leverage that extra horsepower. You can't access some

00:22:37.840 --> 00:22:44.799
background processes such as menus and and connect say such as sorry excuse me

00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:48.559
menus uh such as connect which is good which is which is which is fine because

00:22:47.280 --> 00:22:53.280
if the game wasn't going to leverage connect at all anyway then it can use the processing power

00:22:51.120 --> 00:22:58.080
that would have been locked and unused. Yes. Um, and with, you know, if you're

00:22:55.840 --> 00:23:00.400
making, you know, Happy Dance Party Time X or whatever game,

00:22:59.360 --> 00:23:04.720
Happy Bear, Sleepy Time. Yeah. Then you you frankly don't need the seven cores anyway. So that that

00:23:03.360 --> 00:23:10.640
seems like a pretty good compromise to me. So place uh so Sony has now I think

00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:14.559
we're Yeah. So this was back in January that Microsoft did it. So almost a year

00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:18.640
later, they have now done the same thing, allowing

00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:21.200
the PlayStation 4 to basically get as close to its potential maximum as it

00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:27.520
can, which is going to be brutal for Xbox One because they already did this and like

00:23:25.679 --> 00:23:33.919
we're up still losing to PlayStation. So now PlayStation will be even more ahead.

00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:36.320
Yeah. with I guess the um the the the

00:23:33.919 --> 00:23:40.559
main this the discussion point here because that news in and of itself is

00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:42.720
not actually terribly exciting. The consoles this generation are

00:23:41.919 --> 00:23:47.760
underpowered. Yeah. Whoopde freaking do. Here's what I want to know and I want to

00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:54.240
hear from you guys. We're going to straw pull this up in here. Nice. I'm excited. I like straw holes.

00:23:51.600 --> 00:23:58.159
If you think back to Microsoft's Xbox One launch event, their whole thing

00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:01.600
the server thing. Is that what you're talking about? No, I'm not going to talk about that.

00:24:00.159 --> 00:24:04.559
That's that's a whole other ball of wax. Still drives me insane. That might not that might just never see

00:24:03.919 --> 00:24:09.120
the light of day. I don't think so. Um, so did

00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:12.720
we're going to use cloud servers to render things for your thing and it's

00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:18.559
going to make it easier and better and faster and that'll never happen.

00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:22.240
All right. Uh, hold on. I'm just going to create I'm going to create the um

00:24:20.320 --> 00:24:26.799
It's like skiing in World of Warcraft. How many times have they said they were going to put skiing in the game? Nope.

00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:32.080
Have they? Yeah. It was on the is on the back of the box for Wrath of Lich King.

00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:38.400
Excellent. All right. Well, at any rate, there's the straw pull. Um,

00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:43.600
random facts that don't matter. There you go. I did not know that. So, if you think

00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:48.640
back to the you guys, I didn't even ask the question. I haven't clarified yet.

00:24:46.320 --> 00:24:52.080
Well, keep keep the tab open so you can fix it in case you change your mind. So,

00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:59.520
if you think back to the Xbox One launch event, Microsoft's whole spiel was that

00:24:54.880 --> 00:25:03.039
the Xbox One is not a game console. It

00:24:59.520 --> 00:25:05.760
is like your family living room hub. It

00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:11.440
is your entertainment hub. It is your it you watch TV on it. You, you know, wave

00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:16.240
at it and you're like, "Hey, Xbox. Wow. Wake up and let's play some games." Or,

00:25:13.679 --> 00:25:20.880
"Oh, well, not just games. Maybe we're going to look at our photos

00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:24.159
or access our Sky Drive or I guess they still called it Sky Drive

00:25:22.320 --> 00:25:29.760
at that point. I don't know. Anyway, the point is it was supposed to be more than

00:25:25.919 --> 00:25:31.360
just a game console, a game machine, but

00:25:29.760 --> 00:25:34.960
not a PC. It wasn't a PC. Make it an entertainment system. Yeah. They didn't know what the hell it

00:25:33.520 --> 00:25:40.960
was. So, did they learn their lesson? Is that

00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:45.840
what we're figuring out here now that Microsoft and Sony have both kind of

00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:51.760
gone, "Oh people don't really care other than like their Netflix app. They

00:25:50.080 --> 00:25:54.320
they don't really care about doing anything on this other than playing

00:25:53.520 --> 00:25:59.520
video games." I don't think they have. It turns out a game console is just a

00:25:57.360 --> 00:26:04.960
console. Or are they going to come back with the Xbox 2 and the PlayStation 5?

00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:08.720
And are they gonna be like, "If they call it the two, I'm gonna I'm gonna

00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:13.279
like crap a brick." Okay. If they call it the Xbox,

00:26:11.360 --> 00:26:16.799
that would be so horrible. Um, so are they going to come back with

00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:21.520
that and go, "Yeah, we added way more power this time for way better gaming

00:26:19.520 --> 00:26:24.480
and also we cordined off a bit of it again

00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:27.600
for like we're going to still try and do that other stuff again." So, I want to

00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:33.200
know I want to know from you guys. So, let's let's head over to my screen. Let's have a look at straw poll results.

00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:37.200
We've got a whopping 58% of you, most of whom didn't even wait for me to explain

00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:41.760
the question, saying no, they did not learn their lesson.

00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:43.520
A 31% of you are voting for turnip the

00:26:41.760 --> 00:26:47.600
way you should, throwing away your votes. I love the timing of our whole

00:26:45.919 --> 00:26:53.520
vote for turnup thing and then Donald Trump running for president.

00:26:50.320 --> 00:26:55.919
Every time I wear that shirt,

00:26:53.520 --> 00:26:59.440
every time I wear that shirt, people are like, "Ah, it's a Donald Trump joke

00:26:58.159 --> 00:27:03.600
because you might as well just vote for a turnip." and it kind of looks like it.

00:27:02.159 --> 00:27:10.799
Um, and then 11% of you go, "Yes, they're

00:27:08.159 --> 00:27:13.520
going to treat a game console like a game console next time."

00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:17.360
I don't think so. What do you Okay. Well, I was about to ask what you think, but I guess way to

00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:22.320
interrupt me. Whoa. You better this whole stream. There's

00:27:21.120 --> 00:27:27.520
been I hate that you're interrupting multiple stories of stream. I'm like,

00:27:25.840 --> 00:27:31.760
okay. Anyways, I don't think that they have.

00:27:29.679 --> 00:27:34.880
Uh, reasons for why I don't think that they have are largely based in the past.

00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:39.039
I know things have changed, but still, um, this was the first time that they've

00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:40.720
made money by selling their console. Mhm. So, I feel like

00:27:40.159 --> 00:27:45.120
not much. I know, but still. Before they were losing, now they're making some. That's

00:27:43.760 --> 00:27:49.679
actually a pretty significant difference when you're selling that much volume. So, you're saying we're still going to

00:27:47.760 --> 00:27:52.880
get underpowered consoles because they got used to the idea of making money

00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:55.679
selling the console. I get it. Before it was like accessories and

00:27:54.320 --> 00:28:00.000
whatever and we'll make it and it'll be awesome. Now it's like experience and we

00:27:58.799 --> 00:28:04.399
want to make more money because it's more premium or not really.

00:28:02.080 --> 00:28:10.159
And $160 accessories. Yeah. Yeah, that too. Elite controller.

00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:12.799
Yeah. Um so I don't really think so. And

00:28:10.159 --> 00:28:19.520
this honestly should have been in there from the start even if it was um still

00:28:16.960 --> 00:28:20.960
aimed to not be as gamy of a game console as it is,

00:28:20.399 --> 00:28:26.399
right? Um because why not? Yeah. Why force a developer?

00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:31.360
Yeah. So, I don't think that actually has anything to do about them learning

00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:35.039
that it should be just a game console. I think that has them has more to do with

00:28:33.679 --> 00:28:39.600
that should have just been a thing. Why lock it off? That's just stupid. I will explain why. And actually, you

00:28:39.279 --> 00:28:44.080
know what? Because they're trying to force people to use the thing. I was going to say, no, it's it's deeper

00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:49.279
than that. Okay. I was going to say that I was going to disagree with you. I was gonna say that

00:28:47.360 --> 00:28:53.600
I think they learned their lesson and I think they're gonna come back focused on

00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:58.080
gaming and gamers, but I actually realized as you were

00:28:56.320 --> 00:29:04.240
talking that I'm with you, but for a slightly different reason. Okay. because I think they are still

00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:07.440
going to try to force the game developers to use the gimmick and

00:29:06.320 --> 00:29:17.440
they're still going to try and create the gimmick because at the end of the day 900p versus 720p is something that

00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:24.320
the PC audience cares about but that the console audience is frankly many of them

00:29:21.679 --> 00:29:27.600
not that interested in. Whereas when you create a marketing video, look at how

00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:33.039
many Wii still fun. Look at how many Wii Nintendo sold from

00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:36.320
showing people waggling sticks around. Honestly though, that was legitimately

00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:40.240
fun. And the Connect isn't. But that's what the marketing that's

00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:43.039
that's the marketing engine. That's why they're going to keep forcing game

00:29:41.760 --> 00:29:46.880
they're going to come up with a gimmick. Yeah. Yeah. And they're going to force game devs to

00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:49.919
use the gimmick and they're going to they're going to they're going to punish

00:29:48.399 --> 00:29:58.159
game devs who don't use the gimmick. And they're going to do it again and again and again because that's visually

00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:59.760
interesting. Whereas 300 FPS at 4K,

00:29:58.159 --> 00:30:04.320
well, actually 4K they might be able to sell, but but not for a long time

00:30:01.600 --> 00:30:06.240
because 4K TVs are only now just barely approaching

00:30:05.520 --> 00:30:11.039
affordability. Okay, first off, I am a Nintendo fanboy, so

00:30:09.360 --> 00:30:14.320
just going to get that like fairly across the board. We know. Um

00:30:12.799 --> 00:30:17.840
even though they're despicable in so many ways, they're pretty bad, but it's okay. It's

00:30:16.320 --> 00:30:22.640
okay. It's fine. Zelda's coming out soon. Yoshi's adorable. I have the woolly one,

00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:27.679
the little toy, because I bought Yoshi's Woolly World, which is just the best

00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:31.760
game. It's so much fun. If you complete a level with 100%, you get another

00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:35.840
Yoshi, and he comes in like you can get like a cow Yoshi or like a forest Yoshi,

00:30:33.919 --> 00:30:41.440
and they're hilarious, and they're super cute. Anyways, moving forward. With the

00:30:39.120 --> 00:30:45.520
Wii, when they make some crazy gimmick thing, you can just ignore it. The

00:30:44.159 --> 00:30:50.399
developer can just ignore it. With the Gamepad thing, you don't have to use it. Unless the developer is Nintendo and

00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:54.799
they're making Twilight Princess and then they're going to do some stupid crap. Yeah, sure. But

00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:57.919
I had to buy a classic controller just to play that stupid game.

00:30:57.120 --> 00:31:02.640
Yes. Yes. Carry on though. But they can. They don't force people to

00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:05.440
use their gimmicky things. Like you can just turn the controller sideways

00:31:04.159 --> 00:31:09.039
turning into a more retro style controller. Use none of the motion stuff. The least ergonomic retro controller

00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:14.799
ever. Pretty rough, but still use none of the motion stuff and

00:31:12.320 --> 00:31:17.760
put a condom on the end. You don't have to. You can take that

00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:23.679
off. You can go rock. But that's not safe. It's That's true.

00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:28.240
Bearback is not the kind of we use that we To be fair though, that's the only way I

00:31:25.360 --> 00:31:33.520
use my controllers. Because you trust yourself not to throw

00:31:29.919 --> 00:31:35.679
them at your TV. I mean, I remember.

00:31:33.520 --> 00:31:37.760
Okay, this is Okay. Sorry. Do Do you still have your train of thought? Will

00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:43.519
you be able to come back to it? Because I can go for it. Okay. Okay. So,

00:31:41.600 --> 00:31:48.080
I was sitting at work. Okay. I was at my desk. Uh, so I was working at NCIX back

00:31:46.159 --> 00:31:52.799
when the Wii came out. So I was sitting at my desk and I had gotten the Wii for

00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:58.480
myself for Christmas for my family, but it was for me. So I had gotten the Wii

00:31:55.279 --> 00:32:01.440
for myself for Christmas and I we my

00:31:58.480 --> 00:32:06.080
like uh my my in-laws and my now wife then girlfriend and I had spent like the

00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:09.600
entire holiday season bowling and like playing tennis with each other.

00:32:07.919 --> 00:32:13.519
And it was great. So, I read I start reading

00:32:11.600 --> 00:32:19.360
the articles about people breaking their TVs, flinging weotes into them,

00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:23.679
and I'm at I'm at my my in-laws house and I'm talking to my now girl then

00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:29.360
girlfriend, now wife, I don't now have a girlfriend. Um, and I'm like, what kind

00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:38.320
of flipping idiot? Oh, no. Throws a Weimo at the TV.

00:32:34.159 --> 00:32:41.039
So, she kind of goes ashen, right?

00:32:38.320 --> 00:32:43.519
And like she's just just like she kind of changes the subject and I'm like

00:32:42.320 --> 00:32:48.480
meanwhile I want to talk about this forever. I'm like you got to be freaking

00:32:45.360 --> 00:32:51.519
kidding me. Like if you're that sweaty

00:32:48.480 --> 00:32:53.679
take a take a break, okay?

00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:57.039
Stop flinging your arms around. Just take a breather, okay? The Wii even

00:32:55.039 --> 00:32:59.919
interrupts you every like 20 minutes or whatever. Go outside.

00:32:58.080 --> 00:33:04.480
It's like, yeah, hey, you know, everyone just stop playing Wii Sports for 10

00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:09.679
minutes. Okay. So later on I'm talking to her and she's like, "So yeah, my dad

00:33:07.360 --> 00:33:12.720
like threw the Wii remote today." He was in the room when I'm talking about this.

00:33:11.360 --> 00:33:17.039
She's like, "Yeah, my dad threw the Wii remote at the TV today. He almost broke it."

00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:21.600
And I was just like, "What? That is so brutal." I I thought you were

00:33:19.600 --> 00:33:23.440
talking about the like gel sleeve that No, they didn't exist yet.

00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:28.000
Oh, this was in the early days. I'm like OG wee.

00:33:26.320 --> 00:33:30.640
Yeah. No, no, I know. I actually I got That was what I was talking about. Yeah,

00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:35.360
that was what I was talking about when I talked about the Wii condom. But I got one I was super lucky. You

00:33:33.760 --> 00:33:39.519
remember how the stock was super bad? Yeah. You couldn't find them anywhere. I camped out twice.

00:33:37.919 --> 00:33:43.120
I didn't camp out at all. I walked into my local Best Buy and like some employee

00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:48.880
that didn't know that they were backstocked or whatever just put one on the shelf and I was like, "Uh, okay."

00:33:47.600 --> 00:33:53.519
Picked it up and bought it. The person at the till was like, "What?" I was

00:33:51.360 --> 00:33:58.000
like, "Yep, cool." Just walked out and got one. I think it was probably someone

00:33:55.519 --> 00:34:00.720
else's order. So after I realized that, I felt kind of bad, but I was like, it's

00:33:59.679 --> 00:34:03.519
on the shelf, so I didn't felt kind of bad all the way to the

00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:06.399
bank. Oh, well, the it was kind of expensive

00:34:05.840 --> 00:34:12.079
at the time. Well, yeah. What was it like $400? I don't remember, but I remember like I

00:34:10.399 --> 00:34:15.679
had saved up for for it for a bit and I think my mom like helped contribute because she wanted the the fitness

00:34:15.040 --> 00:34:21.040
deputy pack. I ended up with four of them before Christmas.

00:34:18.720 --> 00:34:26.079
Yeah. Well, my wife my wife and I camped twice. Okay. And so my boss, the owner

00:34:23.520 --> 00:34:28.560
of NCIX, needed one. So that got a hefty markup.

00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:33.440
Yeah. Um my other boss, uh who was actually he

00:34:32.079 --> 00:34:37.200
actually visited our studio the other day. He's like, uh he I would consider

00:34:35.520 --> 00:34:41.760
him a friend, not just like a former boss. Um

00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:45.679
so my other boss got one. He got a less hefty, but definitely, you know, there

00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:49.520
well they're going for this much on eBay, so you know,

00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:53.919
relatively close to that. Yeah. Yeah. Um, so I actually made so much selling a

00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:57.760
couple of them that mine were effectively like a couple hundred bucks

00:34:55.679 --> 00:35:01.680
for two. There you go. Yeah.

00:34:58.960 --> 00:35:04.160
And I bought some Weimotes. So, uh, so yeah, that that worked out pretty well

00:35:02.720 --> 00:35:09.760
for me. With that said, I don't have the kind of time to do stuff like that. Although, I have exciting news. When are

00:35:08.160 --> 00:35:13.119
you seeing Star Wars? Uh, I'm waiting. I want to go with

00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:16.079
Brandon because he's good to talk to movies about afterwards and stuff. So, I

00:35:15.040 --> 00:35:21.280
don't actually have a ticket yet because he doesn't have a ticket yet. So, I This

00:35:18.960 --> 00:35:24.640
is a major This is a big shout out. This is a huge massive like

00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:28.000
Wait, do you have opening day tickets? Well, not quite. Okay.

00:35:26.240 --> 00:35:35.119
But this is a massive shout out to Anthony over at NCX who thanks to I'm

00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:38.640
not going to say how he got them, but it's something to do with like a

00:35:36.720 --> 00:35:43.920
purchase that he made recently and like an owners club website that probably no

00:35:41.119 --> 00:35:48.480
one will ever visit ever. There's a special non-public screening at 9:00 am

00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:55.920
on the Saturday. Wow. 9:00 am the day after it launches.

00:35:52.720 --> 00:35:57.839
So, he has two tickets and he was kind

00:35:55.920 --> 00:36:01.440
of shopping them around like and Jack was like, "Yeah, I'm going with, you

00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:05.200
know, someone else and blah blah blah and like and he and and I was like and

00:36:04.160 --> 00:36:09.520
then he was like, "Oh, well, I don't know, Lionus. Do you want to come? Do you have tickets yet?" I'm like,

00:36:07.520 --> 00:36:12.560
actually, no, because I have children and so going to see like a late night

00:36:11.119 --> 00:36:19.440
screening is not always the easiest thing for me and stuff like that. So, I was I was planning I was literally

00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:23.520
planning to spend three weeks with my eyes closed and my fingers in my ears

00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:29.119
until I was going to be able to see it. Nope, I am seeing it 9:00 a.m. So, so Anthony

00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:32.480
and I have a master plan to show up at like 7:30. It's first come, first

00:36:30.560 --> 00:36:36.240
served. So, we have a master plan to show up at like 7:30 in the morning uh

00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:39.839
at the theater and it's going to be freaking awesome and I'm going to see it on time pretty much for the first

00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:43.440
first come first serve and you're showing up at 7:30 for 9:00 a.m.

00:36:42.240 --> 00:36:48.160
But remember, this is not a public screening probably. No one knows about it. There

00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:52.720
wasn't even an email newsletter. Nothing. If you happen to sign into like the owner's portal.

00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:57.520
Wow. That's unlikely. Yeah. So, I'm expecting to be sitting

00:36:55.440 --> 00:37:00.480
like dead theater center. Wow.

00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:03.760
For Star Wars the day after launch. I'm super super excited.

00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:06.800
I'm assuming Brandon is going to be waiting a little while because I think

00:37:05.200 --> 00:37:10.320
he wants really good seats, too. Yeah. So, I'm probably going to be waiting a

00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:16.240
while. All I can say is it better not disappoint because the last movie that I

00:37:14.720 --> 00:37:19.680
like freaked out and saw right away was The Hobbit Part One. Have you heard about the Darth Jar Jar

00:37:18.880 --> 00:37:23.920
Binks? I have. I love it. It's actually pretty good.

00:37:22.240 --> 00:37:26.800
I actually love it. If you haven't seen the conspiracy theory that

00:37:25.839 --> 00:37:31.839
it's pretty solid that Jar Jar is actually the Sith master

00:37:30.160 --> 00:37:35.200
orchestrating everything behind the scenes, uh, check it out. It was a great

00:37:34.240 --> 00:37:40.640
post on Reddit. It's really good. It's really good. There's like it's it

00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:43.440
goes all kind of like, well, hold on. Yeah. Yeah.

00:37:41.359 --> 00:37:47.440
What if Jar Jar was all like like drunken kung fu master kind of thing

00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:52.000
like when he's like jumping around going a missile clumsy boom knocking out drone

00:37:50.640 --> 00:37:56.560
droids and killing them all over the place.

00:37:53.920 --> 00:38:00.480
What if it's all an act? And then he's like inexplicably in the second movie,

00:37:58.640 --> 00:38:03.920
he's like a member of the Senate. Yeah. Or something like what?

00:38:02.240 --> 00:38:08.400
Yeah. Yeah. It's interesting. It actually like he must have been using mind control.

00:38:06.560 --> 00:38:12.560
I still don't That's a huge part of it. That's a huge part of it. Yeah. And they have clips where he's

00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:15.599
like doing the handwavy thing all the time. Super interesting.

00:38:14.320 --> 00:38:22.800
I don't know. It's It's ridiculous and it's Yeah. But it's fun and it makes you not

00:38:20.240 --> 00:38:26.000
hate so much those series of movies. If you go back and I I haven't done it

00:38:25.359 --> 00:38:30.320
yet, but if you rewatch with that in mind, I plan to re I'm going to reread the

00:38:29.040 --> 00:38:34.000
whole spiel because it's like a couple pages long. Yeah. I'm going to reread the whole spiel. I'm

00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:39.599
going to watch Phantom Menace again thinking Jar Jar is a mastermind

00:38:37.520 --> 00:38:42.079
and trying to mind control and pretend that he's crappy when he's not.

00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:49.440
Yeah. And he got he got kicked out of the underground city. We know this. He caused all kinds of problems. Stupid

00:38:45.839 --> 00:38:51.760
viewer. We assumed that, you know, he

00:38:49.440 --> 00:38:55.440
knocked over the, you know, prince's daffodil plant or whatever, but, you

00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:57.359
know, daffodils would be pretty valuable underwater. Oh,

00:38:56.800 --> 00:39:02.880
yeah. Wow. It' probably be a rare rare commodity. Yeah. Probably imported imported

00:39:01.520 --> 00:39:06.240
daffodils. So, so you know, was George Lucas

00:39:05.040 --> 00:39:11.599
planning, and this is the this is the theory. Was George Lucas planning a a

00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:15.440
Luke I am your father moment for the end of Attack of the Clones?

00:39:13.200 --> 00:39:20.000
No, it was me the whole time. that never happened because he bailed. Um, and

00:39:17.680 --> 00:39:23.359
obviously not, but yeah, it's fun. Anyways,

00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:26.079
it's it's really fun. Yeah. Speaking of things that are fun,

00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:32.800
oh, Scott, our good buddy over at

00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:35.920
AMD and not Tech Report.

00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:39.920
Didn't see that one coming. Did not see that one coming. Is no

00:39:37.839 --> 00:39:44.560
longer is no longer going. I wonder if we'll get cards on time now.

00:39:41.920 --> 00:39:45.760
Maybe this is a good thing. No, he's not in that role.

00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:52.400
Oh, yeah. Sorry. Um, so, so I I actually

00:39:49.680 --> 00:39:56.800
I've spoken on the phone with Scott since the announcement and I don't know

00:39:54.640 --> 00:40:01.359
how much of what was said was public knowledge versus what wasn't.

00:39:58.720 --> 00:40:06.160
So, I will give a summary of what's in in his blog post and and not much more,

00:40:04.160 --> 00:40:10.079
but I'm gonna I'm going to be connecting with him uh at CES and I'll probably

00:40:08.240 --> 00:40:14.240
talk in some more depth. But, um, just for those of you who don't know, I

00:40:11.359 --> 00:40:18.480
respect Scott a lot. He's super smart. He's been doing this whole tech

00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:23.280
journalism thing. He's he's just such a respectable guy. He's been doing this

00:40:19.839 --> 00:40:25.920
for over 15 years. And um you know what

00:40:23.280 --> 00:40:29.040
we actually like we have uh we have a partnership with Tech Report on a couple

00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:35.119
things like we've worked together on a couple things in the past. Y

00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:36.720
um and this just he kind of like I I

00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:40.160
sent him a tweet that was like, you know, we we can't bleep things on Wan

00:40:38.720 --> 00:40:43.920
show, so I'm not going to use the exact words that I did, but it was just

00:40:42.079 --> 00:40:50.000
basically like what the and you can kind of fill in the blanks for yourself. And

00:40:46.560 --> 00:40:52.160
yeah, like seriously. Um and he kind of

00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:56.319
sends back the message. He's like, "Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, dude. I

00:40:54.480 --> 00:41:02.160
super meant to tell you, but this just like happened really fast." And you

00:40:59.200 --> 00:41:06.000
know, AMD hosted an event um some months ago.

00:41:03.280 --> 00:41:11.040
No, no, some some months ago the phone call happened. But then what happened

00:41:08.319 --> 00:41:14.160
really suddenly was the deal got inked and AMD had an event that they did

00:41:12.880 --> 00:41:19.280
earlier this week where they announced actually a bunch of really cool stuff. We'll talk about that a bit more later,

00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:23.280
some Zen architecture stuff. Um and they were like, well, you're going

00:41:21.440 --> 00:41:29.359
to be at this event with an AMD badge on, so that's tomorrow. So, I guess up

00:41:26.640 --> 00:41:32.880
goes a blog post at 10:43 p.m. on December the 2nd.

00:41:31.040 --> 00:41:38.720
Oh my goodness. Okay, that's pretty aggressive. So, that's what happened. And um so,

00:41:36.319 --> 00:41:43.839
pretty much he's going to be working at AMD to help implement the frame

00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:49.200
timebased testing methods for game performance that he's been championing

00:41:46.079 --> 00:41:50.319
at tech report. And um he'll have an

00:41:49.200 --> 00:41:55.920
opportunity to and I'm kind of summarizing his words in the thing because I don't want to say anything that he didn't say in his post to move

00:41:53.920 --> 00:41:58.960
across organizational lines and help ensure that the Radon Technologies Group

00:41:57.520 --> 00:42:03.920
creates the best possible experience for gamers. So he'll have access to

00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:06.960
engineering to marketing to pretty much

00:42:03.920 --> 00:42:09.119
whatever with the intention of making

00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:12.720
the gaming experience in the Radon Technologies group, which I kind of

00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:16.560
looked at that announcement of Radeon Technologies Group and kind of went, "Oh, okay." Okay, so they're kind of

00:42:15.040 --> 00:42:20.720
going, "Okay, uh, we're going back to AMD and ATI now." And I kind of figured

00:42:19.280 --> 00:42:27.680
it would just kind of all be under the same management. It wouldn't really be different. Apparently, no, they're, you

00:42:25.359 --> 00:42:32.079
know, refocused, renewed vision and focus with under Raja Kadori's

00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:36.000
leadership and this is going to be a real thing. And they've managed they've

00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:39.599
managed to get Scott to drink the Kool-Aid. So, I am inclined to take a

00:42:38.400 --> 00:42:43.599
sip of the Kool-Aid myself. Radio technology. So, is it RTG now

00:42:41.440 --> 00:42:47.440
instead of ATI? I don't know.

00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:50.319
The new RTG 3 or 490. They should have just called it ATI. It

00:42:49.520 --> 00:42:55.280
would have been super cool. That would have been so sick. I actually would have loved that.

00:42:53.280 --> 00:43:03.119
Like like if it like if they called it like the like oh like AMD, you know, uh

00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:06.480
how do we work like a visual or graphics or like

00:43:06.480 --> 00:43:12.560
ATIX1000? Yeah. Or like something something like

00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:16.240
that. Anyway, so yeah, that was that was that kind of

00:43:14.640 --> 00:43:22.079
that kind of that kind of shook me up earlier this week because between

00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:23.599
between Scott and Anan Baling and uh

00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:27.599
that's that's a couple that's a couple like pretty big that's a couple pretty

00:43:25.280 --> 00:43:32.560
big names and one of the only really couple of the the hardcore written guys

00:43:30.240 --> 00:43:35.599
that I'm that close to who's no longer in the space. Speaking of which, I

00:43:34.480 --> 00:43:41.680
haven't talked to Shrout in a long time. I was just going to say Ryan. Um I asked Scott what's going to happen

00:43:39.040 --> 00:43:45.520
to Tech Report. Obviously, he'll be stepping down as editor-inchief, but I I

00:43:43.920 --> 00:43:51.839
don't know if you guys know this, Scott also owns the Tech Report. So, um it

00:43:50.079 --> 00:43:57.599
doesn't take a genius to figure out that he can't work for AMD and also run an

00:43:55.520 --> 00:44:00.800
editorial website and own an editorial website at the same time. So, uh

00:43:59.760 --> 00:44:04.160
something's going to have to happen there. Um I I asked him about it. I

00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:07.920
can't say anything that he said, but like

00:44:06.319 --> 00:44:12.560
yeah, something will have to happen. Yeah. I mean, basically there's only a

00:44:09.520 --> 00:44:16.079
few options. He sells it, he dissolves

00:44:12.560 --> 00:44:17.520
it, he uh shuts it down.

00:44:16.079 --> 00:44:21.920
Wait, I guess the two of those are the same. From the knowledge that we have from the post, I don't think he's going to shut

00:44:20.079 --> 00:44:27.280
it down or dissolve it because it says tech report will continue under Jeff

00:44:24.400 --> 00:44:31.040
Kapman Campman, managing editor for the last year and a half. So, and they're

00:44:29.119 --> 00:44:36.560
looking for writers to fill his role on CPU and graphics cards.

00:44:32.720 --> 00:44:38.800
Yeah. So, there you go. What a thing.

00:44:36.560 --> 00:44:43.839
Hopefully, this will help them avoid things like the driver problem. AMD

00:44:41.839 --> 00:44:46.160
drivers locking fan speeds at 20% and killing some CPUs. It's been patched.

00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:51.119
GPUs. GPUs. Sorry. It's been patched. Um I

00:44:49.599 --> 00:44:54.640
don't usually like talking about these rumory kind of things until they're like

00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:59.119
done so we know if they're actually a thing or not. Yeah. or or like confirmed that it's an

00:44:57.440 --> 00:45:07.280
actual issue because I mean two people on a forum can like

00:45:03.680 --> 00:45:08.800
have their GTX 980 die after a

00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:11.920
and I'm not really going to want to test it. I really want mine to die.

00:45:10.880 --> 00:45:15.200
Yeah. So like I don't know. We're just going

00:45:14.079 --> 00:45:20.079
to wait till it's official and then we'll talk about it. So yeah, we I had some people messaging us messaging me

00:45:19.040 --> 00:45:24.640
asking about why we haven't been talking about the driver thing. It's because like

00:45:22.240 --> 00:45:29.040
anyway, it was a thing. It is fixed now. So, it is safe to update your drivers.

00:45:26.640 --> 00:45:32.880
But basically, the fan speed was locking way too low. The

00:45:29.920 --> 00:45:37.280
GP 20% or some people apparently having it go up to 100%. So, things were weird.

00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:43.280
I don't know. Yeah. So, it's it's fixed now. New So, we all know who to yell at. Next

00:45:42.240 --> 00:45:48.640
time this happens, you now have a public figure. Yeah. Go for it.

00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:51.280
I don't know how how forward facing he's gonna be.

00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:55.920
Yeah, but I'm sure his Twitter and stuff is still gonna survive. I don't know. Maybe not. I mean,

00:45:54.319 --> 00:46:00.960
is he going to delete his Twitter? Okay, so here's a couple things. Like,

00:45:58.079 --> 00:46:04.079
you look at uh you look at Roy Taylor. Yeah.

00:46:01.359 --> 00:46:07.119
From AMD, whose Twitter disappeared off the face of the earth overnight and

00:46:05.839 --> 00:46:10.400
seems to be back. I think he's back on Twitter, but under

00:46:09.119 --> 00:46:15.280
a different handle. Oh, yeah. It's Roy

00:46:13.599 --> 00:46:23.839
Techwood. Whoa. And I I had sort of I had sort of like I

00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:26.800
my initial reaction when I saw this a fair amount of tweets.

00:46:25.200 --> 00:46:31.119
Yeah. No, no, this is this is new, but he's only got like 4,000 followers. He

00:46:28.880 --> 00:46:36.560
had like like over 100,000 followers before. Yeah.

00:46:32.319 --> 00:46:38.240
So site is still AMD.com. Like I I I

00:46:36.560 --> 00:46:40.640
I don't really understand I don't really understand what happened here.

00:46:40.160 --> 00:46:45.599
Um I don't know. Anyway, so it seems like

00:46:43.359 --> 00:46:50.800
someone at AMD learned their lesson about just letting employees talk on

00:46:48.319 --> 00:46:54.319
Twitter. Um or or maybe didn't because he's back. Like I don't I don't I don't

00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:59.200
know I don't know the backstory of what happened there. And you know there's

00:46:57.599 --> 00:47:04.079
just because someone is good at being public facing doesn't mean that they'll be public facing. I mean you look at

00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:09.920
I don't think you can ban someone from having a Twitter account though. If you

00:47:07.200 --> 00:47:12.160
you can tell them not to post uh

00:47:10.319 --> 00:47:16.400
like Okay. Have you heard have you heard anything from Anan since he left anch?

00:47:14.720 --> 00:47:21.359
No, but that's I don't think he's at Apple though. I don't think Yeah, but I don't think

00:47:19.280 --> 00:47:25.839
Apple is even able to tell you to not have a personal Twitter account. Of

00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:28.240
course, they could fire you for they could fire you for saying things about

00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:35.040
Apple. Okay, that's that's possible. They I don't think they can fire you for

00:47:31.520 --> 00:47:37.200
just using Twitter. Um but at the same

00:47:35.040 --> 00:47:40.720
time, like what I'm saying here is Scott might not reply to people, but if you're

00:47:39.119 --> 00:47:45.440
like, "Oh my god, what the hell?" You could message him and then he could maybe forward that internally. You might

00:47:43.520 --> 00:47:48.960
never hear about it, but he still would probably be able to be contacted.

00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:51.520
Maybe. Maybe. It's possible. Unless he deletes his Twitter, which

00:47:50.400 --> 00:47:58.240
unless he deletes his Twitter. Very also possible. Um, speaking of deleting Twitter,

00:47:56.400 --> 00:48:02.079
uh, actually not related to deleting Twitter at all, Squarespace, one of our

00:48:01.040 --> 00:48:05.760
sponsors for today. You can have a Twitter feed on your Squarespace page,

00:48:04.160 --> 00:48:10.400
which you can actually. We know this from firsthand experience. Yeah, we're working on We're working on

00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:15.359
a special Squarespace page for our CES coverage because Squarespace is going to

00:48:11.920 --> 00:48:18.000
be our sponsor, our main sponsor for CES

00:48:15.359 --> 00:48:19.839
this year. Oh, apparently the video feed is frozen.

00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:24.800
Oh. Oh, great. Wow, that's a great freeze frame.

00:48:22.640 --> 00:48:29.760
We should just do the still image. Wow. It's fine. Don't worry. But don't don't

00:48:26.240 --> 00:48:31.760
even bother fix it. Just It's cool.

00:48:29.760 --> 00:48:35.119
I wonder if they can see that. Oh, yeah.

00:48:33.119 --> 00:48:39.280
Add. See, this is the kind of this is the kind of crap that we go through. Oh

00:48:37.040 --> 00:48:44.640
wow. If you just add a whole bunch of them, if you were able to change the

00:48:42.079 --> 00:48:48.400
still frame, you could rap rapidly add them and then we could have like a

00:48:46.319 --> 00:48:51.920
moving picture like one maybe less than one FPS. Okay. So, let's find out if this is

00:48:50.720 --> 00:48:59.040
going to blue screen. You're a blue screen. I'm about to be potentially.

00:48:56.160 --> 00:49:04.319
Uh, okay. Did you ever play Magicka?

00:49:02.160 --> 00:49:06.880
We'll be right back after these messages. No, wait. It was the messages

00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:10.400
that got interrupted. We'll be right back after we I don't

00:49:09.040 --> 00:49:13.440
know. We're doing something. Hold on. We might have an idea.

00:49:12.160 --> 00:49:17.839
I'm going to keep talking to you guys. How's your day going? Before the show

00:49:15.359 --> 00:49:22.480
started, I did two quizzes. Um, one of them was, "What is your favorite type of

00:49:19.839 --> 00:49:26.559
apple?" And the other one was waffles or pancakes. Uh, I'm going to actually make

00:49:24.559 --> 00:49:30.960
a straw poll right now and I'm going to post that in the Twitch feed. I want you

00:49:28.640 --> 00:49:33.760
guys to answer both questions. Both questions are going to be on one straw

00:49:32.160 --> 00:49:36.960
poll. I know this is pretty like next level, but we're going to do this right

00:49:35.440 --> 00:49:41.040
now. So, give me one second. Straw pole.me, right?

00:49:39.920 --> 00:49:47.480
That's interesting. Yeah. Whoa. Nope. Not straw.me.

00:49:43.839 --> 00:49:47.480
Okay. Um

00:49:47.680 --> 00:49:57.680
Wait, what it is? Let's try the old I'm confused. Plug it back in.

00:49:52.720 --> 00:50:00.160
Apples and breakfast foods.

00:49:57.680 --> 00:50:03.599
Uh, wow. How do I ask what people's favorite type of apple is on Straw Pole?

00:50:02.160 --> 00:50:08.480
Would I have to list all of them? I think so. I think you have to do a Twitter blitz

00:50:06.559 --> 00:50:12.319
if you wanted to. Uh, okay. We can do both at the same time.

00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:15.680
So, I'm going to straw poll uh waffles or pancakes. And I'm going to Twitter

00:50:13.760 --> 00:50:19.440
blitz favorite apple. Okay. Twitter blitz favorite apple. I I

00:50:18.079 --> 00:50:24.640
don't think we're going to get this back up and running. This is uh this is this

00:50:22.480 --> 00:50:30.960
is a thing that happened that is that is not making me super happy right now.

00:50:27.280 --> 00:50:31.599
Video input. No signal. Wait,

00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:35.920
I did the camera turn off.

00:50:34.079 --> 00:50:42.800
No one plugged in the power adapter for the camera. Holy hell.

00:50:39.200 --> 00:50:45.200
I mean, uh, Diablo, uh, what, uh,

00:50:42.800 --> 00:50:51.280
really, you guys? Today, camera setup was a problem.

00:50:49.040 --> 00:50:57.760
Camera setup was a huge problem. Like all over the place. Just saying. That

00:50:54.480 --> 00:50:58.960
was brutal.

00:50:57.760 --> 00:51:03.680
in the middle of my show. Yes. I'm in the middle of your show.

00:51:02.800 --> 00:51:08.440
I don't know what that means. Is that work now? You're going to work now.

00:51:08.960 --> 00:51:17.680
And we're back. I hope. Are we back?

00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:20.240
Hello. Hello. Oh. Oh, wow. That's derpy

00:51:17.680 --> 00:51:24.079
looking. Yeah. Without even losing it. Okay. So, let's

00:51:22.480 --> 00:51:26.720
finish your uh let's finish your Twitter blitz here. All right. And then we'll

00:51:25.599 --> 00:51:30.480
get back to our sponsors. There we go. All right. Waffles and

00:51:28.720 --> 00:51:34.160
Golden Delicious because they are waffle. Excuse me. Delicious.

00:51:33.200 --> 00:51:40.079
Granny Smith. Granny Smith is like the most boring name for the most like sour intense

00:51:39.280 --> 00:51:45.599
apple that there is. I love Granny Smith apples. Granny Smith was covered in caramel.

00:51:43.760 --> 00:51:49.119
Those were And those were also the best candy apples that I've ever had.

00:51:47.040 --> 00:51:51.440
Yeah. Yeah. My wife made candy apples this Halloween.

00:51:50.640 --> 00:51:58.640
It was like like by a lot too. To die for. Yeah. to that and you'd

00:51:54.960 --> 00:52:01.760
think there's nothing to it. Like what?

00:51:58.640 --> 00:52:02.319
It's caramel, which is basically sugar.

00:52:01.760 --> 00:52:08.000
Yeah. And you dip a freaking apple in it. How complic. But the thing is, she did caramel and

00:52:05.920 --> 00:52:10.960
then she did chocolate and then she did Smarties.

00:52:09.040 --> 00:52:15.920
Just decorative candies or something. Lots of different candies. Like it was it was a lot. Your mouth was

00:52:14.160 --> 00:52:21.520
just like whoa, dude. Like the whole time. Favorite Apple iPad Pro with full NDME

00:52:18.800 --> 00:52:24.240
SSD and running Windows or Granny's. That's actually pretty legit.

00:52:22.559 --> 00:52:28.160
Gotcha. that I would actually I would be into that. I'd be super down with that.

00:52:25.680 --> 00:52:32.000
Is for Apple. Thank you, Kids TV123. Granny Smith all the way. Granny Smith

00:52:29.920 --> 00:52:36.240
and Waffles. Probably Fuji Galler Brabburn. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I'm I'm into

00:52:34.800 --> 00:52:41.480
the Fuji apples. I'm into the Fuji apples. All right. So,

00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:41.480
let's get back to

00:52:42.240 --> 00:52:47.280
Squarespace. It only works on my side.

00:52:46.079 --> 00:52:51.440
Squarespace. There's four linuses to only one Luke.

00:52:49.119 --> 00:52:56.720
No, my chest is here. Look at this. Oh, yeah. That's true. We get all the

00:52:53.599 --> 00:52:58.720
Luke boobage. Um, okay. So, I'm going to

00:52:56.720 --> 00:53:02.079
fix that. I don't really know what I was thinking when I did that. I was a little confused. I thought you

00:53:00.880 --> 00:53:05.760
were just trying to make a joke. I was I was just around. Yeah.

00:53:03.920 --> 00:53:07.839
Um, okay. So, Squarespace is actually going to be our sponsor at CES this

00:53:07.359 --> 00:53:13.280
year. Oh my god. How many times I didn't How many times we get to say build a

00:53:11.200 --> 00:53:17.680
beautiful Are they on every video? Yeah.

00:53:15.040 --> 00:53:24.640
Yes. I can I can feel the dankness of the

00:53:21.119 --> 00:53:27.119
memes already on PC master race.

00:53:24.640 --> 00:53:29.359
Last year was mine is dropping things. This year it's going to be build it

00:53:28.800 --> 00:53:34.240
beautiful. I'm going to be way too happy to say that every time.

00:53:32.079 --> 00:53:37.680
Okay. So, what is Squarespace if you don't already know from watching the W

00:53:36.160 --> 00:53:43.040
show faithfully every week like you probably do. Yeah.

00:53:40.160 --> 00:53:47.760
Yeah. Maybe not. Um is that it is for building a beautiful website. It's

00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:51.040
simple to use. It's powerful. They've got a web gooey. You just kind of build

Squarespace. Build it beautiful. Thank you, Luke.

00:54:21.280 --> 00:54:27.680
Tunnel bear. I actually saw a really

00:54:24.960 --> 00:54:32.319
funny parody. It was like me doing a presidential speech. Someone grabbed

00:54:30.079 --> 00:54:34.079
like a like a a still frame of our background.

00:54:33.119 --> 00:54:39.920
You found those funny? And then like animated. I found I found

00:54:36.240 --> 00:54:42.319
the one funny because uh I the the part

00:54:39.920 --> 00:54:45.520
about my my plan for Canada. Oh, like all the sponsorships that like

00:54:43.920 --> 00:54:48.640
everyone will have wipes and everything. So Canada will be Canada

00:54:46.960 --> 00:54:50.960
will be corporate sponsored instead of charging it citizens taxes.

00:54:50.319 --> 00:54:56.079
Yeah. Which you know what is actually really

00:54:54.000 --> 00:55:01.200
if we took all the money that gets paid to the government in like lobbying and

00:54:59.200 --> 00:55:03.680
actually just spent it on something useful.

00:55:02.240 --> 00:55:06.400
That'd be pretty sick. Hold on a minute. We might be on to

00:55:05.440 --> 00:55:10.640
something here anyway. The problem is then the people that are

00:55:08.480 --> 00:55:12.559
receiving the lobbying money wouldn't get paid so that would never happen,

00:55:12.160 --> 00:55:19.119
right? Because it's all about them being super rich. I know. I know. But like

00:55:17.040 --> 00:55:22.400
you're basically like if people weren't dick holes about making excessive

00:55:20.880 --> 00:55:27.680
amounts of money, imagine how good the world would be. Yes. Okay. So, tunnel bear. Speaking of

00:55:25.839 --> 00:55:31.680
speaking of not being that word he said that some people consider a swear horde,

00:55:29.520 --> 00:55:36.160
although personally Yeah. I don't Yeah. Some some people censor dick.

00:55:34.319 --> 00:55:40.640
Swear words are so confusing. I actually never know what like what and there's

00:55:38.160 --> 00:55:43.280
lists out there but then there's like competing lists and some of them are

00:55:42.079 --> 00:55:48.400
drastically different. I know. I know. I know. Anyway, Tunnel

00:55:45.760 --> 00:55:52.000
Bear, the easy to use VPN that hopefully doesn't mind us using naughty words

00:55:50.160 --> 00:55:54.880
while we talk about their service with the lower third on the screen. Tunnel

00:55:53.280 --> 00:55:59.599
Bear does not in any way endorse the use of the word dehole.

00:55:58.480 --> 00:56:02.920
That sounds worse. It does.

00:56:03.040 --> 00:56:08.640
You can tunnel up to, I think, 13 different countries. 16 16 different countries.

00:56:07.119 --> 00:56:13.200
16 different countries. They have apps for iOS, Android, PC, and Mac. They also

00:56:11.440 --> 00:56:17.680
have a Chrome extension. They're super easy to use. Just pick the country in

00:56:15.599 --> 00:56:22.319
the app and turn Tunnel Bear on. Watch your bear tunnel through that country

00:56:19.200 --> 00:56:24.000
with AES 256-bit encryption. And it

00:56:22.319 --> 00:56:28.559
switches your public IP address so you appear to the websites and services

00:56:25.599 --> 00:56:32.400
you're using as though you are from that country. They've fixed the annoying

00:56:30.319 --> 00:56:35.359
parts of using a VPN for personal use. You don't have to mess around with port

00:56:33.680 --> 00:56:41.680
configuration, DNS, or any router settings. They handle that in the background and they give you 500 megs of

00:56:39.040 --> 00:56:45.920
data for free. So, you can try it out. No credit card required. If you want to

00:56:44.240 --> 00:56:49.799
upgrade to unlimited data, you can save 10% by going to tunnel.comtt.

00:56:51.440 --> 00:56:57.440
All right. So, um, now that Nick has Oh,

00:56:55.280 --> 00:57:02.960
he has informed me that he is not that likely to suffer from heart disease. So,

00:57:00.079 --> 00:57:07.359
if he's to get some kind of disease from us messing up our sponsor integrations

00:57:05.920 --> 00:57:09.839
all the time, it will probably be cancer. Oh, yeah.

00:57:09.119 --> 00:57:15.200
Okay. So, uh I I've been corrected. So,

00:57:13.280 --> 00:57:17.920
I don't know. I don't know what's worse. I Well, they're both terrible.

00:57:17.520 --> 00:57:22.640
Yeah. Yeah. They're both like absolutely Are they both just like at the full

00:57:21.040 --> 00:57:24.559
volume level? Like it's just they're both you can't really get any more than

00:57:24.319 --> 00:57:30.400
that. I don't know because there's like Oh, speaking of heart disease, I found out

00:57:28.559 --> 00:57:33.280
Rocket has a heart murmur. What? Yeah. So, he might have to be on like

00:57:31.920 --> 00:57:39.920
blood thinners for the rest of his life. That's interesting. Whoa. Yeah. So, like pet insurance, kids,

00:57:37.920 --> 00:57:43.680
that's a thing. No, I don't have it. Oh, so that's going to be expensive.

00:57:42.240 --> 00:57:47.520
Cuz I'm pretty sure you can't buy pet insurance for in case he develops a

00:57:45.440 --> 00:57:51.200
heart murmur when he already has one. That said, my vets's a family friend.

00:57:49.839 --> 00:57:55.079
Maybe they could discover it has not developed yet.

00:57:58.000 --> 00:58:02.520
I recommend using an honest vet.

00:58:03.280 --> 00:58:11.040
It's probably a good idea. Yeah. Um, so this was posted on the forum by

00:58:07.200 --> 00:58:14.559
evil Emir Tiger Direct to Oops, wrong

00:58:11.040 --> 00:58:17.599
scene. Tiger Direct to lay off 241

00:58:14.559 --> 00:58:18.640
workers in January. They were recently

00:58:17.599 --> 00:58:23.520
sold to PC Mall for $14 million. You know

00:58:21.680 --> 00:58:30.640
what's crazy about this is like my memories of Tiger Direct are

00:58:26.799 --> 00:58:33.839
like back in the days at NCIX, you know,

00:58:30.640 --> 00:58:36.079
eight to eight to three years ago when

00:58:33.839 --> 00:58:43.200
they were like a legit competitor in the PC space and it was like the big three

00:58:39.839 --> 00:58:44.480
was your Newegg, your Tiger and like I'm

00:58:43.200 --> 00:58:48.319
just trying to think who else was like a big I don't even think Amazon was

00:58:46.559 --> 00:58:50.960
I was going to say I don't not not quite yet but they definitely are now

00:58:49.760 --> 00:58:55.119
but like Tiger Tiger came. No, it would have been uh Zip Zoom.

00:58:53.839 --> 00:59:01.920
Zip Zoom Fly. Oh, yeah. Yeah. They've gone gone forever. So, so it was like back when

00:58:58.480 --> 00:59:05.119
like, you know, Yeah. Tiger Direct and

00:59:01.920 --> 00:59:06.720
uh and and and and uh Comp USA, who who

00:59:05.119 --> 00:59:12.000
was actually acquired by Tiger Direct. Like, that's what a big deal they were. They were just like running around

00:59:08.960 --> 00:59:14.079
buying up Comp USA stores. So, they've

00:59:12.000 --> 00:59:19.359
closed a bunch of stores a while ago and they they have gotten rid of um they

00:59:16.400 --> 00:59:23.520
have they've sold to uh PC Mall, which I have actually discovered only recently

00:59:21.920 --> 00:59:29.280
that the reason that they probably liquidated all those assets is actually

00:59:25.520 --> 00:59:33.200
to do with um taxation purposes because

00:59:29.280 --> 00:59:36.319
if you if you sell a company and you

00:59:33.200 --> 00:59:39.839
more than less than 10% or something to

00:59:36.319 --> 00:59:41.760
do with being like active active assets

00:59:39.839 --> 00:59:44.400
or something like that. Like if it's like just sitting there, if you have

00:59:43.040 --> 00:59:48.480
like a bunch of money sitting there or a bunch of buildings sitting there, then you get taxed a lot more on that or

00:59:47.839 --> 00:59:52.880
something. That's okay. That's Yeah.

00:59:51.280 --> 00:59:56.880
Things I would never know. Yeah.

00:59:54.799 --> 01:00:00.880
Uh All right. Why don't we blow through some of these sort of boring things?

00:59:58.480 --> 01:00:08.319
Tweak Town article. NVIDIA rumored to be preparing a GeForce GTX 960Ti. It'll be

01:00:03.839 --> 01:00:10.240
faster than a 960 but slower than a 970.

01:00:08.319 --> 01:00:16.079
and you can take that to the bank. Uh Sam Streker posted that on the forum. Uh

01:00:12.640 --> 01:00:17.839
the Radeon Fury X2 Gemini could be paper

01:00:16.079 --> 01:00:22.400
launching later this month according to WCCF tech. Availability in Q1 2016.

01:00:20.640 --> 01:00:26.880
Could face potential delays. I think that says everything we need to know.

01:00:24.400 --> 01:00:32.720
Right in the headline, what will Gemini be? It will be two Fury GPUs on a single

01:00:29.839 --> 01:00:36.880
card. NVIDIA seems to have kind of just bailed on the whole dual GPU thing.

01:00:34.400 --> 01:00:42.160
Good. Oh god.

01:00:39.760 --> 01:00:45.920
So done with it. Don't want it.

01:00:43.359 --> 01:00:48.640
Oh, there's a new gate. There's a new gate.

01:00:46.799 --> 01:00:52.640
There's a new gate. It's bend gate again. Oh,

01:00:50.079 --> 01:00:57.760
but this time, check this out. It's CPU bend gate.

01:00:55.680 --> 01:01:01.440
So, Intel I've heard about this. Ah, Intel's looking into reports, but says

01:00:59.520 --> 01:01:06.079
there could be several variables at play.

01:01:03.359 --> 01:01:11.440
But apparently using the rated mounting pressure aftermarket CPU coolers, which

01:01:09.200 --> 01:01:14.640
by the way, if you bought a Skylake K series processor is all you're going to

01:01:12.880 --> 01:01:19.680
be using since there is no stock cooler that comes in the box. Well, you could

01:01:16.480 --> 01:01:22.079
buy a box cooler from someone else who

01:01:19.680 --> 01:01:27.359
isn't using it. And speaking of which, we need to get some box coolers. We have

01:01:24.319 --> 01:01:27.839
like two 1151 box coolers left in the

01:01:27.359 --> 01:01:32.880
entire building. I don't know what happened to that. What happened to the one I painted black? Remember the pyramid?

01:01:31.680 --> 01:01:36.319
Yeah, we had like we had a literal pyramid of them. What happened to I made a pyramid cuz I was like I have

01:01:35.280 --> 01:01:40.079
too many of these in my office. So, I built a pyramid on someone else's desk as a joke and then like didn't want them

01:01:39.520 --> 01:01:46.559
back. Yeah, they're like all gone. And now there's one that I can't figure out what

01:01:43.920 --> 01:01:51.359
it's for cuz it's not 775. It's not 13. It's like smaller than 1155 but bigger

01:01:49.359 --> 01:01:55.359
than 775. I don't know what the crap it is. It's an Intel box cooler. So, like

01:01:54.799 --> 01:02:00.400
I don't know. I don't know. Anyway, um so yeah. Uh

01:01:59.280 --> 01:02:03.760
where's the black one? I don't know. I liked that one. Actually used it quite

01:02:03.200 --> 01:02:10.160
a few times. And we even because it looked really nice in B-roll. Yeah, exactly. Well, you know what?

01:02:07.680 --> 01:02:12.720
There's probably one in this box. But isn't that

01:02:11.119 --> 01:02:14.799
Yep. That's the black one. Oh,

01:02:14.240 --> 01:02:21.520
okay. Well, there it is. We found that one. It's in the street machine. Um maybe that's what's causing

01:02:19.760 --> 01:02:26.319
all the problems. Take it out. Take out the painted the painted CPU

01:02:23.760 --> 01:02:32.559
cooler. It's getting paint flakes on everything. Um, so right. So, Haswell

01:02:29.839 --> 01:02:36.880
CPUs apparently had a thicker substrate that caused them to not bend. And that's

01:02:34.400 --> 01:02:41.280
that's the allegation, but Intel has obviously neither confirmed nor denied

01:02:38.799 --> 01:02:43.119
that this is the case up until this point.

01:02:41.839 --> 01:02:48.079
Yeah. Um, Scythe has offered a solution

01:02:45.920 --> 01:02:51.520
offering new screws for their coolers to reduce the mounting pressure. I didn't

01:02:49.920 --> 01:02:56.480
even know Scythe was still in business. Neither did I. Okay. Do you remember their crazy one that

01:02:54.319 --> 01:03:01.599
like went across your entire computer? Yes, I do. I forget what it was called

01:02:58.319 --> 01:03:02.720
though. Like a Mugan.

01:03:01.599 --> 01:03:07.280
Sure. Uh Scythe giant CPU.

01:03:06.079 --> 01:03:10.720
This will probably work. I know that Cooler Master had a redonk

01:03:09.599 --> 01:03:13.920
one that um that's not the one. Oh yeah, there it is.

01:03:12.720 --> 01:03:19.520
Yeah, there you go. So, this picture is from Silent PC review. Uh, just making sure

01:03:17.839 --> 01:03:23.280
I'm giving credit where credit is due. So, yep. It's probably not all that silent.

01:03:22.079 --> 01:03:28.640
No, it probably is. Oh, you just turn them all super slow. Yeah, if you run the fans at like 400

01:03:26.319 --> 01:03:33.520
RPM or something stupid like that, then here it is installed in the case.

01:03:32.319 --> 01:03:37.440
I love that thing. It's like, yeah, if you want to just, you know, heat up

01:03:35.520 --> 01:03:40.240
your graphics card more, no, look, it's going to blow air on top of

01:03:39.839 --> 01:03:45.920
it. Okay. Yeah, but like the surface area of

01:03:43.119 --> 01:03:49.680
this thing is so huge that the actual heating up of the air that's being done.

01:03:48.160 --> 01:03:56.640
This is actually something that I that I've been meaning we should find a way to tackle this in a video because a lot

01:03:53.599 --> 01:03:59.920
of people have this misconception that

01:03:56.640 --> 01:04:02.799
like when when you got to okay when your

01:03:59.920 --> 01:04:07.359
CPU is 70° your heat sink is going to be less than

01:04:05.359 --> 01:04:10.799
that. Let's say your heat sink is 40 degrees or something like that. And

01:04:09.039 --> 01:04:16.400
people have this misconception that when 25 degree air runs through those fins,

01:04:13.599 --> 01:04:20.319
it's 40 degrees on the other side and and you're and you're now you're heating

01:04:18.799 --> 01:04:23.280
up the components on the other side. This is not how it works

01:04:22.319 --> 01:04:28.880
at all. A little bit. A little. Not much.

01:04:26.960 --> 01:04:32.000
Slightly warmer air flow that came through a heat sink is still better than

01:04:31.280 --> 01:04:37.280
than no air. Nothing. Yeah. And so I've seen people go, "Oh,

01:04:35.200 --> 01:04:42.000
but goodness, Lionus, you you mounted that CP that all-in-one liquid cooler

01:04:39.440 --> 01:04:45.680
backwards drawing air into the system. You're now you're just you're heating

01:04:43.680 --> 01:04:50.640
your graphics card." No, the air that comes through that

01:04:47.680 --> 01:04:52.960
cooler is still cooler than my graphics card.

01:04:51.119 --> 01:04:57.680
I was mostly joking. No, I know, but No, but people aren't.

01:04:55.280 --> 01:05:01.119
No, I know you know. No, but but people don't know this. People are like, "Oh,

01:04:59.440 --> 01:05:04.240
you've got two radiators in series." Well, we were going to do that other the

01:05:02.640 --> 01:05:08.160
the I don't know. I want I don't want to say too much the cable. No. Yeah. No. Uh that's that's

01:05:06.880 --> 01:05:11.440
different. I think we should tackle this separate. No, I know. But it's it's a it's another

01:05:10.079 --> 01:05:14.319
one of those like people think it's the worst thing in the world. Yeah, that's true. It's not really that big. It's not

01:05:13.680 --> 01:05:20.079
really that big of a deal. Um John had another interesting idea which I don't know if there's enough

01:05:17.440 --> 01:05:23.760
interest in. Um but with the thing that I was recently checking out, that's all

01:05:21.520 --> 01:05:26.079
I'm going to say. Um I actually don't know what he's talking

01:05:24.960 --> 01:05:30.240
about either. So you guys are on the same page as me. Motherboard orientation cooling

01:05:28.880 --> 01:05:35.520
efficiency. That's a like those Silverstone ones where it's like up and the IO goes out like how

01:05:34.319 --> 01:05:40.319
well does it cool different things compared to it being rotated? Used to be a bigger deal back in the

01:05:38.079 --> 01:05:43.039
earlier days of heat pipes um they were only really effective in a certain

01:05:42.000 --> 01:05:48.480
direction. So inverted motherboards would have

01:05:46.240 --> 01:05:53.200
issues where if you mounted the heat the if you mounted the cooler wrong the um

01:05:51.039 --> 01:05:56.799
the the the liquid wouldn't condense properly down to the hottest down to the

01:05:55.200 --> 01:06:00.640
CPU part of the heat sink and then it wouldn't actually cycle properly. But

01:05:58.799 --> 01:06:05.440
it's it's not really a concern anymore. Um I wanted to jump back to the things

01:06:02.880 --> 01:06:09.440
don't you know a cooling medium doesn't get instantly hot after it touches

01:06:07.760 --> 01:06:14.079
something in the loop that's warm. Uh people who freak out if you've got your

01:06:11.359 --> 01:06:17.920
CPU and then your GPU in series in a water cooling loop. The difference

01:06:16.160 --> 01:06:21.839
between the temperature of the water at the hottest point in a loop and the

01:06:19.440 --> 01:06:26.480
coldest point in the loop is un except in very extreme situations with very low

01:06:24.640 --> 01:06:32.720
air flow or excuse me very low water flow probably in the neighborhood of

01:06:28.480 --> 01:06:35.280
about 0.1 to 0.2 degrees. Seriously,

01:06:32.720 --> 01:06:39.599
it's a thing. Unless you're running like quarter inch tubing on a pump that you

01:06:37.280 --> 01:06:41.760
like found in your, you know, grandma where you got all your stuff for

01:06:41.119 --> 01:06:49.520
scrapard. Yeah. Unless you found it in a back alley somewhere. Um, so so no, the

01:06:47.520 --> 01:06:52.880
system reaches pretty much equilibrium. This is a fluid. This is flowing

01:06:51.280 --> 01:06:55.520
extremely quickly. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of the channels are

01:06:54.319 --> 01:07:01.039
like really narrow. Yeah. It goes really far.

01:06:57.760 --> 01:07:02.880
And water does water does more than just

01:07:01.039 --> 01:07:08.000
uh cool by convection when it's running around in a loop like that. Like water

01:07:04.559 --> 01:07:10.720
can conduct heat within itself as well.

01:07:08.000 --> 01:07:13.760
Like it it's it spreads really quickly. It's It's kind of amazing. Um, all

01:07:12.480 --> 01:07:17.839
right. So, what else we got? AC mechanical engineer can confirm in

01:07:16.400 --> 01:07:24.559
chat. Boom. Thank you. Thank you.

01:07:22.640 --> 01:07:28.240
You know, it's really funny because the fact that he's backing me up on this

01:07:26.000 --> 01:07:32.480
means that I'm going, "Thank you." But 98% of the time when someone's like,

01:07:30.319 --> 01:07:36.960
"I'm actually a mechanical engineer." and the blah. It's it's probably it's

01:07:34.880 --> 01:07:40.000
probably nonsense on the internet because everyone like as soon as we

01:07:38.640 --> 01:07:42.400
start doing whole room water cooling, our entire audience is plumbers.

01:07:41.680 --> 01:07:46.640
So many so many plumbers apparently watch us.

01:07:44.960 --> 01:07:49.680
And my favorite part was okay, there was definitely some information in there

01:07:48.000 --> 01:07:55.599
that was like, "Okay, we probably should have done that." There's some great information. There was also a ton of people claiming

01:07:53.200 --> 01:07:59.440
to be experts that had no idea what they were saying.

01:07:57.200 --> 01:08:02.000
And yes, we know we screwed up whole group. Oh yeah,

01:08:00.400 --> 01:08:07.039
it was a disaster. Oh yeah, but not for the reasons that most people

01:08:04.559 --> 01:08:11.039
think it was a disaster. Like there was a lot of stuff that we did that was fine

01:08:09.520 --> 01:08:16.640
and a lot of stuff we did that was super not okay. Um, speaking of super not okay

01:08:14.400 --> 01:08:21.440
or maybe fine. Gez, I don't know. I am Dark Yoshi posted this on the forum. The

01:08:18.560 --> 01:08:25.920
original post here is from f.org. Your printer

01:08:23.679 --> 01:08:29.279
could be spying on you. Well, which it sounds more ominous than it probably is

01:08:27.839 --> 01:08:33.839
because the way that they're using this technology, at least we think, I mean, at least we

01:08:32.319 --> 01:08:39.120
would have no reason to think they would be using it in any other way, is to

01:08:35.759 --> 01:08:42.400
track um counterfeiting. So, now that

01:08:39.120 --> 01:08:44.080
affordable, high quality printers are so

01:08:42.400 --> 01:08:46.960
affordable and high quality. I want to jump in here real quick. Ant

01:08:45.679 --> 01:08:52.640
Venom, he's in the chat right now. Remember how he did the basement water cooling thing? Still running perfectly

01:08:50.239 --> 01:08:57.839
cuz he did it right by not using a a steel reservoir. I thought stainless

01:08:54.799 --> 01:08:59.759
would be fine. I was wrong twice.

01:08:57.839 --> 01:09:05.440
I thought anti-corrosive agents would make it okay. I was wrong twice.

01:09:03.920 --> 01:09:09.679
Um, okay. So, so basically uh right here

01:09:07.600 --> 01:09:14.799
you've got a list of the printers that do or do not display tracking dots. But

01:09:11.759 --> 01:09:17.520
the the summary of this is basically

01:09:14.799 --> 01:09:23.120
um and this goes back like way to when like Xerox invented the laser printer.

01:09:20.640 --> 01:09:28.319
What they do is they actually use scattered pale yellow dots all over the

01:09:26.319 --> 01:09:32.080
document that they printed to give the serial number of the machine as well as

01:09:30.719 --> 01:09:36.640
I think there's some other information as well. The number Yeah. So Zerox rep

01:09:35.359 --> 01:09:41.120
says they put the number of each machine coded into the yellow dots. The dots

01:09:38.880 --> 01:09:45.759
cover less than a thousandth of a page and they can't be seen by the naked eye

01:09:43.440 --> 01:09:48.960
because it's usually yellow on white. So, what you have to do is you have to

01:09:47.040 --> 01:09:53.520
print a page and use a blue LED flashlight and a magnifier to see if

01:09:51.359 --> 01:09:56.560
they're there. And there's pretty much I mean, where there's a will, there's a

01:09:54.800 --> 01:10:01.600
way, but there's pretty much no way to block this from happening because the

01:09:58.000 --> 01:10:04.239
yellow dots are actually something like

01:10:01.600 --> 01:10:09.679
20,000th of a second blah blah blah before before the actual printing

01:10:06.719 --> 01:10:16.960
happens. They're like injected. So, what if you don't feel yellow?

01:10:13.199 --> 01:10:18.080
I don't know. Great question.

01:10:16.960 --> 01:10:25.600
Huh? I don't know. Or like fill it with something else.

01:10:22.320 --> 01:10:28.320
Yeah, I don't know.

01:10:25.600 --> 01:10:34.880
So, uh there you go. Anyway, so

01:10:32.400 --> 01:10:37.679
something something interesting. How does that actually help them, I guess,

01:10:36.400 --> 01:10:40.960
for counterfeiting stuff? Yes. So, if you get a bunch of

01:10:39.520 --> 01:10:44.239
counterfeit bills and you're kind of wondering, okay, where'd the come from? Where did these come from? You can

01:10:43.120 --> 01:10:47.840
inspect it. Try to see if the yellow dots are there. Figure out what printer it was from. But like having the serial

01:10:46.880 --> 01:10:52.159
number of the printer, is that really going to help you? Yeah, that'll tell you what distributor it went through. It'll tell you what

01:10:50.800 --> 01:10:56.080
retailer it was sold through. Okay. So, you could narrow it down to an area, I guess.

01:10:54.239 --> 01:10:59.120
Yep. So, now you can So, you know, it can tell you when it was sold, so you

01:10:58.000 --> 01:11:04.320
can see a purchase pattern. If it was Amazon, you could probably have the person's address.

01:11:01.840 --> 01:11:07.199
Yep. Yep. So, there No, no, it's like a big deal. Or even even a lot of other

01:11:06.080 --> 01:11:11.120
stores. Like, there's lots of stores that collect customer profiles. I mean, I would hope that a counterfeitter would

01:11:09.840 --> 01:11:15.040
be smart enough not to fill out the customer satisfaction survey or whatever. that they weren't.

01:11:13.840 --> 01:11:17.920
Yeah. Okay. I would hope that they weren't, but I would, you know,

01:11:16.960 --> 01:11:22.159
I I know what you were saying. Yeah. I was going to say to restore my

01:11:20.640 --> 01:11:26.159
faith in humanity, except the fact that the counterfeits are running out there making fake money doesn't restore any of

01:11:24.800 --> 01:11:29.280
my faith in humanity. So, not really my point. You don't want it to happen, but you would hope that someone wouldn't be that

01:11:28.719 --> 01:11:33.199
stupid. Someone made a case for you. So, this was supposed to buy Numlock 21.

01:11:32.400 --> 01:11:37.520
What? You were talking about this just the other week. Oh, yeah. But they didn't know about

01:11:36.159 --> 01:11:41.920
that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, someone actually made a DIY Mac Pro

01:11:39.920 --> 01:11:45.760
case. I was talking to Lionus about maybe doing a video where I went and

01:11:43.600 --> 01:11:49.679
tried to buy like a a bin or garbage can or whatever that looked kind of like it

01:11:47.440 --> 01:11:52.080
and trying to make like a the curved top thing and all this kind of stuff to make

01:11:50.640 --> 01:11:55.920
it look like a Mac Pro and building a computer into it and then literally what

01:11:54.560 --> 01:12:01.040
the next WAN Show. Yeah. It's like, hey, they made a case.

01:11:58.719 --> 01:12:04.800
Now, to be clear, you can't put dual Fire Pro cards in it or anything like

01:12:02.960 --> 01:12:10.800
that. It holds an SFX power supply and ITX motherboard and I think like one 120

01:12:08.320 --> 01:12:12.640
mil fan or something like that. But uh yeah, Deb, hey, there you go.

01:12:12.400 --> 01:12:17.440
Cool. I think we should try and get one for review if we can. That'd be fun.

01:12:15.520 --> 01:12:20.159
I'd love to just like check it out here. Maybe I'll make that your problem.

01:12:18.960 --> 01:12:24.239
Oh, great. Get for review

01:12:22.560 --> 01:12:27.199
because it's like only available in like Japan or something. So, if we send a

01:12:26.080 --> 01:12:29.679
message and they ignore it, then we won't uh we won't we won't go to we

01:12:29.199 --> 01:12:35.040
won't go. So, don't expect it. Yeah, don't don't expect it. But I am

01:12:32.560 --> 01:12:37.520
trying to get that flip phone. Actually, Dbrand is trying to get that flip phone

01:12:36.800 --> 01:12:43.600
for me cuz they have all the contacts to like get all the phones.

01:12:41.360 --> 01:12:46.159
So, um, even though it's not a device, are they going to Are they going to put

01:12:44.719 --> 01:12:49.760
like a more expensive skin than the actual phone on it? No, they they actually they aren't

01:12:48.480 --> 01:12:55.920
planning to support it. They're just like being bros. Makes sense. Yep. They're they're they're kind of

01:12:52.960 --> 01:13:02.320
bros, so we're into their their broness. Um, let's see. Oh, yeah. Just Cause 3

01:12:59.920 --> 01:13:06.080
suffers from terrible frame rates on the consoles. This is posted over at the

01:13:04.080 --> 01:13:11.600
gamesc cabin.com and basically yeah the headline here is

01:13:09.199 --> 01:13:17.920
bloody awful which I guess pretty much says all you really need to know about

01:13:12.960 --> 01:13:19.040
it. It was a matter of Oh dang it.

01:13:17.920 --> 01:13:26.239
Did we just take them down? I don't think so because I Yeah, there you go. Um, so yeah, basically they're

01:13:23.440 --> 01:13:29.440
saying, yeah, you know, it's like especially bad when there's an

01:13:27.840 --> 01:13:33.120
explosion. Yes.

01:13:31.040 --> 01:13:36.640
Yep. Lots of effects on screen. That is how frame rate dips work. Oh crap, I

01:13:35.520 --> 01:13:40.640
just moved the thing around before I charged it. Anyways, okay. Um, but the

01:13:38.719 --> 01:13:44.000
the worst part they're actually saying, too, is that load screens?

01:13:43.520 --> 01:13:49.679
Yeah. Anywhere from 30 seconds to what was the what was?

01:13:48.400 --> 01:13:54.960
Yeah. Two and a half minutes. Two and a half minutes. Yeah, on the PlayStation 4.

01:13:52.239 --> 01:13:58.640
That's like Morwind Xbox One level. Yeah, that is a bummer.

01:13:57.199 --> 01:14:02.000
Apparently though, the game's lots of fun. So, yeah, I've heard really good things. We

01:14:00.800 --> 01:14:05.920
probably should have done a performance review. Probably. I didn't even know it came out.

01:14:05.280 --> 01:14:11.520
Yeah, I I've been so head down working on stuff. I didn't Yeah.

01:14:10.400 --> 01:14:17.520
Someone was like, "Yeah, it's tons of fun. Are you guys making video?" I was like, "Oh crap, if it's already out,

01:14:15.520 --> 01:14:22.560
it's probably a little late now." Yeah. Oops.

01:14:20.960 --> 01:14:27.920
bad. All right. What else we got here?

01:14:24.960 --> 01:14:29.760
Is uh about like 10 minutes left. No, I was going to kind of wrap it up

01:14:29.360 --> 01:14:34.400
actually. All right. Um Yeah. No, that's kind of boring

01:14:34.080 --> 01:14:39.600
actually. Yeah, I don't really care. Uh there was No, there was something else I wanted to do. Where is it?

01:14:38.239 --> 01:14:42.719
I'm doing an afterparty. Are you? Yeah. All right.

01:14:41.840 --> 01:14:46.520
Can I come? Sure. I mean,

01:14:48.560 --> 01:14:54.880
oh, oh, nope. Can't talk about that.

01:14:52.640 --> 01:14:59.840
Uh, Konami Konami banned Hideio Khajima from

01:14:57.760 --> 01:15:02.880
accepting the Metal Gear Award. Yeah, this was like not cool.

01:15:01.520 --> 01:15:06.400
It's like they It's like they desperately want to be the least popular

01:15:04.719 --> 01:15:10.560
company on the entire internet. Just what?

01:15:08.159 --> 01:15:15.199
Like, or you could not. That would be super awesome. Um,

01:15:13.520 --> 01:15:19.920
not allowed to attend tonight's Game Awards. Yep. So, I don't really have anything to

01:15:18.400 --> 01:15:24.800
say about that other than that it's Konami being Konami. And oh, this is

01:15:23.120 --> 01:15:32.640
interesting. More Just Cause 3 news. This is off the off GeForce.com.

01:15:27.600 --> 01:15:36.560
Just Cause 3 apparently straight up not

01:15:32.640 --> 01:15:38.719
compatible with multi-GPU solutions.

01:15:36.560 --> 01:15:44.960
In other words, a game update would be required for multi-GPU support. This is

01:15:42.080 --> 01:15:49.120
straight from Andrew Burns from NVIDIA. Um, which is sort of a sort of a bummer.

01:15:47.280 --> 01:15:54.880
So, it's like they couldn't get it right on the consoles. Remember that card that like I I laughed

01:15:53.360 --> 01:15:58.640
when he was like, "Yeah, NVIDIA stopped doing this a while ago when they put two

01:15:56.400 --> 01:16:01.360
GPUs on the same card and charged you twice as much for it.

01:16:00.560 --> 01:16:08.159
There's reasons." Yeah, but you're running SLI now for VR.

01:16:04.400 --> 01:16:10.480
Yeah. Okay. I really hope no VR dev is

01:16:08.159 --> 01:16:14.080
stupid enough to not properly support They're going to be able to

01:16:11.920 --> 01:16:18.080
I think VRS SLI is like rendering the the different eye views

01:16:16.080 --> 01:16:21.360
per card. Yes. But but wouldn't that interface with the

01:16:19.679 --> 01:16:22.960
headset more than the game? I don't know because I really would have

01:16:22.719 --> 01:16:27.600
thought I'm not sure. I don't know how they I would have thought if it was that

01:16:25.840 --> 01:16:31.600
simple, we would have seen perfect scaling with 3D vision with SLI. Like

01:16:30.320 --> 01:16:37.760
I'd have thought if it was as simple as like, yeah, I'll just render each eye with one GPU and boom, perfect scaling.

01:16:35.199 --> 01:16:41.120
I don't think it's simple, but I'm assuming that it has more to do with the

01:16:39.679 --> 01:16:44.400
interface between the graphics cards and the headset than

01:16:42.800 --> 01:16:47.440
Oh, I believe it's not simple. I just think NVIDIA is pretty smart and they've

01:16:46.000 --> 01:16:50.480
been kind of they they were beating that 3D vision drum pretty hard for a long

01:16:49.679 --> 01:16:55.679
time. Yeah. And if it was like if it was as simple

01:16:53.280 --> 01:16:57.920
as GPU one renders the right eye, GPU 2 renders the left eye.

01:16:56.880 --> 01:17:01.600
I'd have thought they would have just figured that out back then. But I I

01:17:00.159 --> 01:17:08.239
don't know. I don't know. I am not a driver. my my VR or my SLI is off.

01:17:06.640 --> 01:17:12.560
I just don't run it because there's so many problems and I just don't mo

01:17:10.159 --> 01:17:16.320
basically every single game that I play even like even pretty intense games

01:17:14.800 --> 01:17:19.920
don't need more than one 1980. Yeah, I haven't run it since uh GTX 260.

01:17:19.600 --> 01:17:26.400
Yeah, that was the last time I was in a daily driver and like we stopped benchmarking

01:17:24.640 --> 01:17:31.840
SLI probably what two and a half years ago just because it was like you know what

01:17:30.640 --> 01:17:36.880
there's tons of problems. It's hard enough to get a video review

01:17:34.239 --> 01:17:38.560
video card review out without forcing ourselves to suffer.

01:17:38.159 --> 01:17:43.280
Yeah. And like just like have games not work and not run properly and stuff. So I

01:17:42.560 --> 01:17:50.320
mean it's one of those things. Nothing against NVIDIA, nothing against AMD.

01:17:48.320 --> 01:17:54.159
I just I run a single graphics card because frankly there's single GPU

01:17:52.480 --> 01:17:58.719
solutions that are so powerful now. Someone's like, "Yo, can I have your unused 980?" Then it's not gonna be

01:17:57.040 --> 01:18:03.840
unused. VRS SLI from NVIDIA. It's like I'm

01:18:01.600 --> 01:18:06.480
stoked for that. I really hope it works well. A thing

01:18:04.800 --> 01:18:11.280
and I'm going to be playing the crap out of VR games if Valkyrie is like any

01:18:09.040 --> 01:18:15.280
Okay, I almost don't even care that much about any games outside of what CCP is

01:18:13.360 --> 01:18:19.360
making. I don't I haven't talked about this a ton on the show, but their disc

01:18:17.679 --> 01:18:24.000
throwing Tron game is so much fun.

01:18:21.440 --> 01:18:27.600
Like you would love it. No joke. You You stand You stand It's Have you seen the

01:18:26.239 --> 01:18:33.440
Tron where they stand on the platforms and throw discs at each other and block with shields? It's exactly that.

01:18:31.199 --> 01:18:36.400
And it's like pretty good tracking because they use connects for body

01:18:34.960 --> 01:18:40.640
tracking and stuff, right? And like the disc can bounce behind you and you can hear them. So you have to like spin

01:18:38.960 --> 01:18:44.400
around and block it and then throw and like it's really active. Tons of fun.

01:18:42.719 --> 01:18:49.760
and I played against Colton just wrecked him. It would be fun to have a more

01:18:46.480 --> 01:18:51.360
athletic opponent. Um, sorry, Colton. He

01:18:49.760 --> 01:18:56.159
admittedly doesn't think he's very good at sports. I don't know. Sorry, buddy.

01:18:53.760 --> 01:19:00.560
Um, but it it was like 29 to four or something. So, like I don't know what to

01:18:57.840 --> 01:19:05.760
say, but so much fun. And then Valkyrie is super fun and Gunjack is super fun.

01:19:03.520 --> 01:19:10.400
And then like there there was some demo of another game there where you just

01:19:07.760 --> 01:19:13.920
like slowly walk up a mountain. Okay.

01:19:10.880 --> 01:19:15.840
And look at birds. And I'm like,

01:19:13.920 --> 01:19:19.600
that's really cool. And I'm sure some people will super enjoy that. I

01:19:17.520 --> 01:19:21.840
definitely there is a market for that for sure. It's just not me,

01:19:21.120 --> 01:19:26.560
right? I don't care. All right. Well, I think that's pretty

01:19:24.400 --> 01:19:30.719
much it for the show for today. So, I'm the last thing I'll do is I will drop

01:19:28.400 --> 01:19:37.040
this link in here. If you haven't already, go watch this video. It is

01:19:34.640 --> 01:19:40.960
finally out on YouTube. It was actually I thought it was supposed to be a week

01:19:38.800 --> 01:19:43.120
earlier. We actually totally screwed up our production schedule.

01:19:42.159 --> 01:19:48.880
Thought it was we screwed up our production schedule on

01:19:45.600 --> 01:19:52.480
um on the super fun jousting video where

01:19:48.880 --> 01:19:55.040
we thought that for Awesome Stuff Week

01:19:52.480 --> 01:19:59.360
for YouTube, we thought we had to have it done a week earlier than we did. So

01:19:57.760 --> 01:20:03.440
we thought Awesome Stuff Week was a week earlier than it was. So we released it

01:20:01.040 --> 01:20:07.120
on Vessel timed to come out a week later on YouTube for Awesome Stuff Week, but

01:20:05.600 --> 01:20:12.320
that was actually the following week. So, we had to do a simultaneous vessel

01:20:08.880 --> 01:20:14.960
release of Odius lists and then delay

01:20:12.320 --> 01:20:19.440
the uh Sweway Jousting video by another week. Um, oh yeah, I was going to talk

01:20:18.159 --> 01:20:25.679
more about Zen and some of the stuff that they talked about. Right. So, AM4 motherboards rumored to launch as early

01:20:23.280 --> 01:20:31.679
as March 2016 and they're going to be, you know, DDR4 like fully modernized and

01:20:28.239 --> 01:20:33.520
it have both CPUs and APUs uh on the

01:20:31.679 --> 01:20:37.920
platform. So, if you guys haven't checked it out already, I just linked it

01:20:35.199 --> 01:20:41.920
in the chat, but this video is absolutely sick. I mean, this should

01:20:39.600 --> 01:20:45.320
give you some idea of what uh what's in store for you.

01:20:46.480 --> 01:20:52.480
Okay. Well, that one that one's kind of lame because it's me versus Terran, but

01:20:50.880 --> 01:20:55.920
uh Okay. Yeah, there we go. There's a good

01:20:54.239 --> 01:21:01.199
moment. This is like way too much fun and way

01:20:59.040 --> 01:21:04.000
too dangerous. I would not recommend anybody do this. I'd love to do it

01:21:03.520 --> 01:21:07.480
again. Yeah, me too.

01:21:11.280 --> 01:21:17.120
So, uh, yeah, you guys are going to want to you guys are going to want to check

01:21:15.120 --> 01:21:20.800
that out. I'll post the link one more time. If you're not subscribe to channel

01:21:18.800 --> 01:21:24.640
Super Fun, holy crap. Get subscribed, you guys, and share it. We can't figure

01:21:23.280 --> 01:21:29.679
out why more people aren't watching these bloody videos. I really don't understand.

01:21:26.640 --> 01:21:31.199
I don't get it. All right. So, thanks

01:21:29.679 --> 01:21:37.440
guys. We'll see you again next week. Same bat time. Same bat channel.

01:21:34.080 --> 01:21:40.719
Bye. There's a channel that has like

01:21:37.440 --> 01:21:42.800
25,000 subscribers that did a medieval

01:21:40.719 --> 01:21:46.880
weapons fighting on Spreadways video. I found it on YouTube somehow. Um, and

01:21:45.120 --> 01:21:52.880
they don't even put full armor on. They were They have like the worst swords

01:21:48.800 --> 01:21:55.440
ever. They did a stand room and like

01:21:52.880 --> 01:21:59.679
And it has like 250 and our like super sick crazy probably

01:21:58.080 --> 01:22:02.679
wearing full armor and slamming to each other.

01:22:03.040 --> 01:22:06.040
Oh,

01:22:06.560 --> 01:22:10.960
are we doing an after party? I was kind of just going to go home.

01:22:09.840 --> 01:22:14.960
Okay, I'm going to go home and do my after party. Okay, good night, guys. Bye.
