I was going, "No." Um, and and no, it had nothing. Okay.
The name Lionus Tech Tips had nothing to do with me being smart. It had
talking about Paul. Oh, Paul.
You thought I just hear why here someone
call someone else smart. It's like obviously you're talking about me.
Well, okay. So, I've already told Paul I
think his channel name is very clever, but I think almost everyone who started
a channel like well before they thought YouTube would like even be a thing
probably regrets their their name. Their name. Yeah.
Yeah. Like um like there's that off Tom's Hardware like
Duncan Duncan 33303. Yeah. 33303 like Saab Kyle04. Like just
all those kinds of just it's like Yeah. The guy makes the guy makes videos about
a lot more than just Saab. Does Saab even exist anymore?
I love I love the guys on the forum whose name will be like like no offense
to you if this is your name on the forum, but like like GTX 780. Oh,
then it's like been a few years and it's like uh
yourself. So, there was a guy on the old NCIX
forum whose username was like kuck 2004
and I'm like, dude,
nothing interesting happened in 2004.
Okay, 2004 was one of the best years for gaming, hands down. Like, this is
actually a huge thing. Halo came out in 2004. World of Warcraft's original
release was in 2004. Um, I don't even know that. I'm trying to No, no, seriously, look it
up. Look up Look up top five games of 2004.
Believe you. I'm just saying it's If you Google You can't even share my screen right now, but if you Google top
games of 2004, let me do this right now cuz this is like this is a thing.
You know what my next You know what my next YouTube channel?
Okay. Halflife 2, Doom 3, Grand Theft Auto, San Andreas, Halo 2, World of
Warcraft, Far Cry, Unreal Tournament 2004
War. Okay, this is looking like a pretty good lineup. Battlefield Vietnam, Need Underground,
Glennus has been wrong before. Star Wars Nights of the Old Republic,
Fable, Sims 2, like we're not into it, but giant game. Okay, Thief Deadly Shadows wasn't very
good. Okay. But still a good game came
out in 2004. You're right. Counter-Strike Source by the transitive properties of game
suck. A Call of Duty game that was still good. Okay. Lord of the Rings Battle for
Middle Earth was better than it got credit for. Yeah.
So there's that. There's Tribes. Okay. Painkiller actually Star Wars
Battlefront. Okay. All right. All right. All right. All right. Anyway, and this is just like the end of that.
Okay. So the guy didn't play games though. So your argument falls on its
face right there because not video games. If it was like video games 2004,
I would have been like, you know what, the Kucks won nothing in 2004.
Yeah. But then he could have just meant kuck like like is it derogatory
Canadians? Yeah. I don't know. Like we kind of embrace it, but like
I don't think there's a a properly derogatory term for Canadians.
Hey, Paul. Paul Kyle. So, if I were to call you guys like Yankee Doodles, is
that offensive or is that just like folksy? I think if you add the doodle
Yeah. What if I called you guys this interview right now? is what you're saying. Basically,
what's that? You want to you want to end this
interview right now cuz that's uh Yeah, we take we take very much offense to
I'm triggered. You're triggered more than I ever have been.
Triggered. Triggered even mentioned that on live. I have never taken more offense to any
word than Yankee. Then Yankee. Don't say it out loud, Paul. I'm sorry.
All right. We can say it to We can say it to each other because we're we are Yankee. Does
that mean that I get saved? Yankees so we can use it. Is it a residency thing or a citizenship
thing? Yeah. Yeah. Cuz he's a citizen. So, is he allowed to call you guys Yankees?
Honestly, I've been called a Yankee so few times in my life that I don't even
know how it works. Yeah. I was just thought that was a baseball team.
Assumed it had some there was some like etmological
history to it. I'm not I don't look up those things. You know,
I feel like it's all about context and inflection, right? Like probably,
hey, you Yankee Doodle bastard. I'm like, hey, what's up, bro? But if
they're like, you Yankee Doodle Dandy,
and I'm like, whoa, we got we got beef, bro. We we got a fighter here.
Take it outside. All right, so I I should roll the intro
at some point. Um and then uh so we have Paul and Kyle on the show to talk about
the totally fair and totally justified ending to Scrapyard Bors 5.
And um and I'm going to roll the intro.
They can still hear us while the intro. We have an intro, Paul. Just so you know, we look better than
they do. Yeah, we can. Wow.
Wow. Saying I got the GH5. I'm capturing from the GH5 quality.
There's so many dicks on this show. We have We have tin foil over our bar
camera. So, it's not tin foil. It's special cine
foil. Okay. We should probably spend most of the time talking about Brandon's
lighting configuration that he set up here because I still
haven't managed to recreate it. Yeah, there's no it's impossible. Get
the You need to use the laundry basket. Yeah, the laundry basket.
Weave the tin foil in between the laundry basket holes.
Have the light set behind it at just the right distance to create this illusion
of like depth and mystery to my garage. When Heather saw that that first scene
in Scrapyard Wars where it's in your garage that Brandon had lit. She was like, "Where is that?" I was like,
"That's Paul's garage." She was like, "You mean that [ __ ] hole you stream from every Tuesday?"
Terrible looking place. Yeah, Brandon's really good. Here's the issue with Brandon is that he asks for
all this expensive fancy camera and
lighting gear, but then
you give him like like a roll of duct tape and some chopsticks
and and he manages to make it look awesome.
Anyway, paper towel. Yeah. So, I'm kind of sitting here going, why am I spending all this money?
When Brandon and I used to duo team like every show literally on the planet, um I
used to take like this Instagram series of photos, which was like Brandon's
ghetto lighting setups that we would set up in hotel rooms and stuff. And like,
okay, you have to give the man credit for being able to work with like the
junk that he sometimes has to work with, but I don't think that's like uh a
credit to not needing better gear. I think it's a credit to the crap that he
had to deal with for such a ridiculously long time. It's a matter of the
definition of the word need. But no, that's that's skill versus
Have you ever seen the website uh shitty rigs? It's like shitty rigs.com or
something. It's all these like really poor film students who have to like
build rig material, camera equipment out of just like paper and duct tape.
Exactly like what you're saying. You wouldn't look at that site and be like, "Wow, all the people on here, they they
really don't need better camera gear." Completely functional steady cam board.
I mean, if I was if I was paying the bill for the gear, then yeah, I totally
would. That's exactly how that would go down. I mean, I remember and I actually,
this is this is a true story. I actually
remember making the argument to Brandon that we shouldn't get seands. So, for
those of you watching who are not that into filming equipment, um, okay, Luke's
going to go get one. Luke's going to go get one. Thank you, Luke. Um,
there's they're on the seaand rack right there. Yes. So, this is a seastand. It uh has
three feet at the bottom and then it has an extendo pole on this side here and
then it has this clamp at the top or this knobby at the top that you can use
to hold stuff or whatever. And I'm like,
you have got to be kidding me. It's a do some reps.
It's a pole that holds something and it's like they're like $200. They're not
cheap for like the big ones like that. And I'm like and Brandon's like, "Well,
we need a seand so we can put our boom microphone on it." And I'm like, I'll
show you a boom microphone. And I I pull I This is back when we were operating
out of the garage. So I grab my motorbike,
throw it in neutral, roll it over, and
then I like prop the boom pole like out of the handlebars. And I'm like, look,
problem solved. He's like, no, that is that is not a solution. I'm like, can we
record the video right now? It's like, yes. Then it's a solution. No sea stand
budget until someone like does the like lean
thing on the boom pole and your bike falls over. Yeah. Until that happens.
Yeah. All right. Thank God we don't work for you.
Yeah. So, are we doing news now or are we talking about Scrap Wars now?
Uh, I don't know. Were there any news topics that jumped out to you guys? Do
you want to talk about the leaked Core i9 benchmarks? Yeah. Did they take that down yet or is
it still just there? Um, so it was originally posted on the forum by uh
who's this PC guy 5960. See this is this
is one of those PC guy 5960
is two generations out of date now. Poor PC guy.
Poor PC guy. Even his logo is an i7. He's going full boore.
Yep. I know. I know. PC guy never stood a chance.
Not an X. Um, so basically, uh, allegedly, where where
are these even from? Uh, it was from Hexus originally.
Was from Hexus. Let's see if they've got it. Let's see if they've got it pulled down. They do not. It is still up.
It's still just They're just like, "Here, look at our balls." I feel like
that's They're They're just They're just
They're just chilling. You should You should hide those. Put that away. People aren't ready for that
yet. They're like, "Nope." I mean, this is probably part of a much much deeper
conversation about the desperation of the um of web written media. Um like I
mean it's one thing to break an embargo with like
hm how do I how do I pick someone who
wouldn't be offended? A data like nice people, great people, good product. Um,
you know, you could probably survive as a tech publication without being on the
best of terms with them, though. But like giving the old middle finger to
Intel, not in like a uh in like a criticizing their product way, cuz I'll
do that. We're clearly down for that. But in like a in like a breaking a
legally binding agreement that you signed with them way. There there's a
difference between like being overly friendly where you give like favorable
reviews cuz you want like kickbacks or whatever and uh breaking NDAs.
Yeah. A little bit of professional respect. Breaking NDAs is just being a giant
jerk. Yeah. And it's not just a jerk to the brand, it's also a jerk to all the other
publications. All other publications. And in this case, Hexus might not have signed an
NDA, but they did that knowing they're
going to find one under the table somewhere else, and they're going to
screw over all the other guys that are working with Intel to get chips.
Well, now like all other creators, whether it's text or video, will
probably get at least a slice less views
on their content when it comes out because of this. So, it hurts other creators, too. You're being a jerk to
all your friends, and you're being a jerk to whatever company that's in.
Hexus is is legit, right? I mean they they're not blacklisted to my knowledge
at all. They're good standing. They Yeah. Like where did this
information actually come from? That's the more interesting. Usually when I when you see this kind of
thing, it's it's it's from some like second WCF video cards.
Yeah. A publication that you know doesn't get invited to Intel's events
anyway. They're not on the distribution list for samples or anything like that.
So it's weird. Seems out of character. This seemed like something I was like,
"Wow, they're going to pull that down pretty quickly." But I'm assumed it was
an accident. It's still up. So, um, anyway, I mean, generally the
news is, uh it'll be a 10 core 20 thread priced at $1,000. This is all allegedly
because it's a rumor until my NDA expires. Um,
and it it performs pretty good. Any thoughts?
Uh, good overclocking. I mean, that's that's that's good to know.
Yeah. I'm curious to see how the uh the
18 core is going to overclock though. I I would imagine like you're basically
you're going to be it's going to come down to Yeah. overclocking is going to
be on a core by core basis where you're going to actually have to spend a long
time dialing in an overclock separately for one versus two versus four versus
eight or 10 cores depending on how the chip's being hit.
You might need some uh motherboard software to you know hopefully ASUS or
someone like that develops some software that can handle that sort of thing. Very
ASUS's BIOS has been doing that for years where you can set different ratios
depending on how many cores are active. Just I've never really bothered using it
because there wasn't generally much difference between what you could do on
two versus six cores. Whereas now we're talking
about, you know, you can't be running 18 cores at 4.5 GHz all at the same time
because it would it would melt. I believe they have a software uh an
operating system software that integrates as well where it it actively
just looks at whatever executable you're running and then adjusts it based on
that. So it makes a little bit more hands-off. But can we talk honestly?
Would you install ASUS software on your system?
Well, remember Okay. like occasionally
what was it 2013 2014 how many issues we had with AI suite.
Yeah. I 2012 I don't remember anymore. AI suite is banned in this building.
It is when you find it might even be better now. Post about like here's all of the the
like the black magic and spells you have to cast in order to uninstall it
properly and actually get it completely removed from your system.
Yeah. Yeah. It's uh it it's it's usually
installed on systems that I set up to test ASUS uh like capabilities like on
an ASUS motherboard, but not much beyond that on on fulltime
uh systems that I use full time. How hard is installing it? How hard it can
brick that install if you ever try to boot it on something else like that's
not an ASUS board. And I'm just sitting here going, how deep are you putting your hooks in? Like
why why is this necessary?
So, I'm just looking at some of the benchmark numbers on Hexus.
So, as expected, it doesn't seem to have a massive impact on gaming. Um, you
know, there's a little bit of fall off. Actually, the Ryzen CPUs, uh, they're
testing at 2560 x440, but the Ryzen CPUs are keeping up just fine. Uh, the 8 core
ones and the six core ones. 3D Mark, I
mean, it's just kind of that little incremental increase that you get up towards the top ends. Yeah. uh
running VR, Mark, which I haven't messed around with too much. Yeah, neither have I.
Me neither. Uh me may m maybe a few years.
Yeah. People are like, "Luke's checking on the baby." No, Luke's not checking on
the baby. My my wife Ivon's got the baby. I'm definitely still here.
Yeah. Yeah. That would be a bad sin. Um Yeah. You're not in charge of the
baby. No. All right. We've got another pretty big
topic before we jump into or do you guys just want to talk scrapyard wars now or
do you want to do one more one more topic? We're ready for your apology whenever
you guys are. I mean, I know it's hard to to All right, let's do another topic.
So, this was originally posted by Wicked Paul on the forum. Different Paul.
That's a wicked Paul. You're like a flaccid Paul. It's
not. I would I would like to state that he's
very much like Judy when he needs to be. Um, the CRTC, the Canadian Radio,
Television, and Telecommunications Commission, just issued a ruling stating
that cell phone service providers can't charge for phone unlocking and that as
of December 1st of this year, all new phones have to be sold unlocked.
How much do you wish that your regulatory bodies cared about you that
much? This is this is a hard subject for us to
talk about. Um, it's not fair. That's That's awesome. I am super happy
for you guys. Go Canada. It's frozen at 4K.
You guys are always really nice. We're moving there soon. So,
yeah. Yeah. Um, I mean, this is
No, that's that's really cool. How how unfriendly a practice is this
whole phone locking thing? Like, what
the heck? You guys both bought Pixels probably out of frustration with that
practice, right? Yeah, I've been I've been with Verizon. I think I had been with Verizon pretty
much all my life. Like ever since the first time I ever got a cell phone for
like 10 years ago or whatever it was. And for the first time ever, I switched
over to AT&T just so I could buy an unlocked Pixel. That's what finally got
me to switch cuz I was just sort of sick of it. You know, we've been doing more traveling, going to Computex and things
like that. just wanting to pop in a foreign sim card would be nice and I
just couldn't believe that my options were so limited with Verizon. So, it's
it is a big issue for a lot of us here. I'm very happy that this happened. To be
to be fair, though, how many times did we use that site where it costs like $10
and you just unlock your phone? Well, it can cost more than that. The last time I did it, I paid like 30.
Oh, really? Yeah, it depends. I've done it like four or five times.
Probably every time was under $10. More obscure models tend to require
more. And sometimes you just like can't even do it. And Belle wanted I think it
was like $100 to unlock my old iPhone 4
like back when we first started the company. And I was trying to use that as
like a cheapo travel phone. Yeah. And it's just like it's so frustrating
and it's one of those things where like I don't you know I don't disagree with
the the general sort of right-wing sentiment that
regulating businesses and putting a bunch of a bunch of red tape in place is
destructive to businesses's abilities to
be profitable and to grow and to and to
maintain themselves. But the just the problem is that we've seen time and time
again that no matter how unfriendly
their practices are and how upset it
makes their customers, they just they just can't they just can't be trusted
with this. So
yeah, I guess I I'm I'm glad I'm glad
that they stepped in because this is one of those things where I think it's a
pretty tough argument for the carriers to go like, "Oh, you are like adding
you're adding overhead and you're putting strain on our business to
maintain all these separate SKUs and to
and to maintain all this all this bloat
wear and to and to to No, if anything,
we are regulating simplifying things.
Yeah. Well, it's just it's just it's just purely unfriendly to
consumers. It's exactly like and and like there's
obviously a lot of things that businesses will do that are unfriendly
to consumers, but this is like very unnecessarily unfriendly to consumers.
Yeah. Well, it's purely to lock people into
the contract. Yeah. So, uh, te Canadian telecoms made a
total of $37.7 million last year
charging customers to unlock their cell phones. Wow, that's a lot more than I would have
expected. Yep. Completely honest. Telecoms warned, this is great, that if
they didn't charge an unlocking fee for the few customers who want it done, the
cost would have to be passed on to everyone. So, uh, the CRTC was like,
"Okay, well then let's just not have locked phones. That sounds great."
Yeah. Then you don't have to charge anyone a fee ever. Problem solved. Look, look at all this
administrative burden that we just lifted off of you. There's so many questions.
They're going to have to figure out a different way to make all of that money unnecessarily from people, though.
That's a big challenge for them. And they're probably going to have to charge more people more money in order to be
able to Okay. Yeah. Colton wants us to do a spot
for this shirt. I want Colton to do a spot for this. Colton, get over here.
I did not say that. Get over here. Talk about your stupid shirt.
Isn't this from your stream? Yes. Okay. Yeah. So then I asked Nitro, I was
like, "Hey, you got any ideas?" And then gave me this. And then there's a big
argument whether we should have done the one Linus face in the middle or if we
should have done like multiple like six and then we went with four. Thought it
was a good mixture. I think four is pretty good. And then uh now we're selling them.
We've sold a couple. So uh you can get How many have we sold? I'm curious.
At least 10. Austin Evans has
one to Austin, one to Luke.
That's 40 line faces. How how many uh
sorry where what's the URL? Designed by humans. Designed by humans.
They sold 10 lines. Sold two and a half shirts.
Pure cancer. All right. Speaking of pure cancer, um
you guys cheating. You guys cheating at Scrapyard Wars. Okay. So,
wow. There are a lot of our viewers who feel
like who feel like I ripped a deserved
victory away from you guys. How would you address that?
Oh, so you read all the top comments on the last video of Scrapyard Worth.
I did. I did. I do read comments on videos because because unlike you, I
have a lot of positive comments on my videos that are nice to read. Maybe if
you made better videos, you would like your comments. Stop playing it safe and just stuck to
the same routine all the time. Maybe you'd actually stir the pot once in a while.
Yeah. If you made this video about Intel's new processors, like you could
have, you know, made it like sad and walked around in the rain and like
actually given a heartfelt speech about what's going on with Intel, but I don't
think you did. No, I I did that. Just you made the same serialization.
I was inspired by Jay's video. I was just copying him. Yeah. Before.
Yeah. It's funny. Jay was on last week saying that like he had been planning to make
that video and he saw mine go up and he's like
I'm just going to do it anyway. Anyway. Okay. Okay. Okay. So, what what
say you? What say you? Cuz people seem to think that we're like upset at each
other and that this there's like bitterness. All right. So, I first off, I think we
just want to point out that we in no way are here to drum up controversy,
but if you guys want to argue about that and what we're here for in the comments,
please feel free to go ahead and do so. The main point I think is that there was
I think there were problems with the
following of the rules that happened on both sides. And I think the question in
people's minds cuz we're not we're not we're not denying that. We're not trying
to come here and say like we didn't cheat or like that hard drive that was
in there was we bought or anything like that.
Well, you did buy it technically at some point.
I might have that might have been a sample. I'm not sure but so technically
it's a sample zero dollar value. So it's not we won't go down that
actually doesn't have anything to do with it. just no internal tools but or
parts. But yeah, I think I think if people are upset, it's cuz that they saw that there
were was bending if not breaking of the rules on both sides and that if you were
to negate those against each other and say they canceled each other out and it
just fell down to the strict performance
of the systems, which in our case wouldn't have been affected at all by a
hard drive, for example. uh that that perhaps the the higher
scores and the more powerful system of the RGB beast which is sitting behind us
in its uh nearly completed. But Paul, you're forgetting that the
entire victory of this entire scrapyard war season was determined by an unbiased
competitor of the actual contest. Oh,
wait. You're right. Actually, Jesus, I forgot that Lionus was the one who
actually made the final call as to who won Scrapyard Wars 5.
the impartial impartial. I I I apologize for Okay. Okay. So So
my side of this is that I was completely
ready to concede defeat knowing that
rules had already been bent
but not broken on both sides. Luke and I
might have skirted close.
Mister wears his Okay, look. I
What What's the Luke and I part of this? What did I do?
Okay, hold on. You're inherently you're inherently
along for you're you're you're I mean, okay, look
look, think about it this way. If just because your cheating has an aura,
it doesn't mean that it's my fault. If somebody's driving down a country
road and baseball bats are being used to
knock over mailboxes, I'm not saying that you hit the mailbox. I'm just
saying you were in the car. Okay. Technically, when we were in the car,
there was no cheating going on. Okay. So, anyway. Anyway, anyway. So,
Luke and I are going to cover the logo with my bags. Okay.
That's going to totally work. I legitimately only wear these shirts on
work days because then I don't have to change my shirt when I'm scrapyards is different.
I know. Well, I didn't think of it. I'm not going to wear this shirt.
I only packed these. So, pack something else. I know. I didn't think of scrapyards. I
didn't think of it. Walking shirtless. I could have lent to Sherman better.
Okay. Okay. Anyway, anyway, anyway, the point is the point is the negotiations
had been done already with everyone that
we talked to before we got there. So,
we technically didn't get special pricing from stored dude.
A lot of people thought we did, but a lot of people thought we did, but he actually has a supervisor that he brings
the parts to and they ring it up. They had no idea. That's even more obvious than your
blatant shirt advertisement, Lionus. Mhm. Even more obvious than that is your
voice. Well, there's nothing I can do about that.
All you could have had Luke do the calling, which
Scrapyard Wars, you need those voice modulators that you speak into and it
makes you sound like Darth Vader or something. I will admit this scrapyard wars had an
issue for me, which is that I drove like I think it was like 430 miles in 3 days
or something. Like I just I drove in LA. That was like
that's impossible in LA. Yeah, that was like my job
for this guy voice was I drove. You also you also modded the front
panel. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Partially incorrectly.
Yes. Partially incorrect. That that didn't end up being what cost
us though. So, I'll give you that. That wasn't a horrible implementation of RGB is what
ended up costing. Okay. That that was on me. Um, although
when I was watching it back, you suggested it first,
but then you changed your mind and then it was it was 100% a joke.
Okay. Okay. So, anyway anyway anyway anyway. So, and Okay. So, there's a
couple things. Number one is the pricing from the place where we got the bulk of
our hardware was actually determined by
the cashier. There was a cashier and there was a supervisor that he had to call. There's
two different people that he had to go through to get it. And the supervisor call wasn't in the
video. So to in the defense of the audience who's like
okay crying bloody murder about that. Number two is the people who are like yeah
there's no way someone would let you come in and fish through things like
that. You know what part of scrapyard wars is pushing the boundaries and
finding ways to get people to make an exception for you. Whether that's making
vague kind of weird sexual sounding
promises by email I will give you rewards that you can't
possibly imagine. have nothing to do with my influence as a YouTuber, as that
was never specified before the actual deal was locked into place. And by the
time I actually finally did exchange money for product, told him who I was
and who you were, he still had no effing idea who you were.
So, okay. So, all that is who gave the
guy who gave the best deal of the entire thing. Has no idea who the hell we are.
So, okay. So anyway, but my what my point was was that people are like,
"Yeah, the only reason that guy let you do that was because of who you are." And
you know what? It's possible that he let me do that because of who I was, but I
wasn't the only one at the shop digging through stuff. And those people weren't
me. There was other customers. And obviously, we couldn't film them.
Multiple other customers. I And going way back, like 15 years ago,
that's legitimately where they show people things. Also to be clear about
that part, the first time I ever like took over the
tech area in a shop was at the Vancouver NCIX 15 years ago as a customer. I came
in because I had a motherboard RMA to do and I didn't have the hardware that I
needed to swap out and troubleshoot it. So I brought in my board and they were
like, "We can't do anything for you for a week." I was like, "That's unacceptable. I have to play video
games. Look, can I just borrow some hardware? Can I set up a spot on a bench
here and can I just swap things out and diagnose this?" and they're like,
"Sure."
You'd be amazed what people will let you do if you just ask.
And if you're willing to do all of it, if they don't have to do anything, it
And if they know that you're Linus Tech Tips. No, but I wasn't Linus Tech Tips. That's
my point. His name was Ash Catch. You look like you're going
Ash Ketchum. A Linus Tech Tips fan because of the
shirt. So anyway, going back to back to the judging. I was fully ready knowing you
guys had bent rules of your own like
splitting up for example. That was never made up front.
That was actually that was Edel told us straight up that we could
do that no problem. So Edel Edel was screwing with you
because people were watching our side of it going why do these two go everywhere
together like a husband and wife? Cuz we wouldn't have done it
because that's the I wouldn't have had to spend the entire competition driving.
This is funny. You guys did argue like a married couple, which was which is classic. But putting
up thing though, we we were under the complete impression that that was not
there was no rule that we had to always stay together or anything like that.
I don't think that was ever discussed up front. Yeah. I don't think that was laid out
for us. Okay. Okay. Well, we technically have it on can camera. So
like anyway anyway anyway. So so so any but but the point is that's not the only
rule that was bent on your side either. Rules were bent. But where the rules
were. See, I would say we only broke we broke the rule with the hard drive.
The other rules, I would argue.
What about the money one? Not even a bend. You You could even tell
after you guys are after Lionus is done rumaging through that warehouse. And And
by the way, I feel like you guys were still striking up a few little deals
long after you had arrived and met the guy Michael face to face. Like, how much
for this fan? $5. But you're going to charge me $5. He told me free first.
He told me, okay, a lot of this happened off camera, but he told me it was free.
And then I was like, oh, you know this is a panoflow, right?
These are worth like 25 bucks. Okay, but even even so,
and I was like, you cannot charge me for something. I told him, you can't
you can't charge me for something that you didn't know was worth anything until I told you it was worth something. That
was my point. And we didn't end up using the fan anyway, by the way. But you know what? You know what said it
all for me, though? It wasn't even any dialogue or or action that had
transpired. It was after you guys left that warehouse and you're walking back
to the car. The look and just the overall expression on Luke's face. You
guys had done something like you had murdered a child trying to get away with
it. Told me everything that wasn't shown
on camera. Whatever you want to say. Luke, I've never seen Luke so in
distress. You just I didn't like the I did not like um that
they knew who Lionus was. That bothered me and I didn't like it either. But again,
so we had talked to him multiple times on the phone and the deal we ended up
with actually wasn't quite as good as what he agreed to in our initial phone
call and forgot about. So that's another key factor going way
back to our first phone call. He he was like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. We can we got
all kinds of stuff. It's amazing. This place is amazing. We showed up there, they had like one CPU. Like it the place
actually wasn't as good as what was kind of sold to us.
All right. I think he's like trying to uh make this
like gaming parts sales outfit out of that shop. Um cuz he's like trying cuz
his boss didn't do that before. Yeah. They didn't care about the gaming parts.
They just wanted to resell all the like business PCs.
Yeah. um like workstations and office computers and stuff like that.
So, I think he was trying to get us in there pretty hard because he's like
trying to show his boss that there are customers for this at all.
So, okay. Okay. Um
yeah. So, so that's that's my defense. So the one clear
clear and obvious just ju just just red
card violation of the rules then was
using your own hardware.
That that was that was why and you guys and this is this is something that we
also wasn't shown on camera that Luke and I will be pulling the footage out of
the archives and showing it at our LTX expo. um that at the time you guys fully
accepted the referee's decision and it's only now
you're fighting it. You guys are fighting it.
Yeah, we This is because we had not seen your
half of the show. We didn't see any of the
collusion that was going on between you and Sellers of Hardware who were our
cheat was found out on the spot. Your cheat was found out a month or two,
several months after the the the whole series had already been shot, edited,
and posted to the public. Where's the big difference? We gave you guys the benefit of the
doubt, assuming, well, well, they would clean something. Their hands are totally clean. Linus
one through four. He he kept it super clean for five, though.
Stand up guy that Linus.
You You also have to consider that Ed's also the one that edited this.
Yes, that's true. and he's a bit of a troublemaker and a bit of a pot stirer.
And um pot stirring, you know what? In in Edel's defense, pot stirring gets views
and creates situations like this which are interesting to watch. Okay, so I'll tell you what, guys.
TV 101. Let's leave it up to the audience. We
ran a straw poll.
It's the most infallible way of
determining determining any
straw pole. So, it's closer than I'd like.
In in their defense, I think they also ran a straw poll and they won on theirs
by a lot more than we won on ours. That's true. Okay. Yeah, but their viewers hadn't
heard both sides of the story. That's also true. They had viewed they had viewed the
entire, you know, four episodes. Yes. They hadn't experienced all four
episodes. So, uh, no one no one's experienced the proper
outro. Votes are rolling in fast now.
Votes are rolling in fast now. Coming in quickly. That would be freaking awesome. Like
renting out an IMAX and just playing like a marathon of the entire season.
That'd be pretty cool. That would actually be a really fun like event. Speaking Speaking of events, do
you guys have any interest in coming up here for LTX?
When is that? I don't remember. Oh no, we're falling down. Oh. Oh god.
Oh, the v's coming in really fast. Oh, we're getting close. We're in four
points. We're getting up there towards four points. Anyway, you guys you guys don't have to
commit or anything, but I think it's in August, I want to say. Is it in August?
I thought it was end of July. I can't remember. You know what? It's on the uh Hold on. I'm going to
navigate away from there. What are you guys doing there?
July 29th. July 29th. Basically, it's a tech carnival.
Um Okay. Yeah. So it's it's a con and it's a
carnival. So we actually have like game against Edzel in CSGO. So we have like
actual like gaming focus booth. We have like Luke's running like a VR thing
where people can just like try VR if they haven't which is cool. Um but then we also have like a bungee
run where you just like run as far as you can and then like a bungee cord. You
stretch it as far as you can and then it like rips you back into like a big cushion.
So but you have to do it in socks and sandals, right? No. No. I don't even think you're
allowed to wear sandals on it. So, we've got a we've got a case toss. So, we are
doing the case toss the cases. Yeah. I I believe even if we don't find a sponsor
for the case toss, I don't even care. We're just going to do it. Okay. Yeah. Cuz I've had so many
questions about like one case brand was like, oh, oh,
why would we want anyone to do that? Why would we want someone to damage our
case? I'm like,
who cares? Obviously, it's not about that. Like,
by buy another company. I know. I can say there's a
Thermaltch. Their offices are near here and I've gone through there.
Yeah. Uh and they have two dumpsters in the
back that are just full of dead cases like
case graveyard. Yeah. That they that they decided they apparently can't even use for scrap or
anything and they're just all dead cases. I don't even like that's not even the issue. They just got like offended that
we would think that they would be okay with someone throwing their product.
Just like those are the type of vendors you want to market to or
you're not showing market. Clearly
them. Oh, ask Josh. Ask Josh. I forgot about
that. Fractal Josh would be to blow up a case or something. Oh yeah, he's he's
he's shotguned one before, right? He shoots up his cases with heroin
highowered. Wow. This is kind of incredible. We have
twice as many votes now. maybe more than twice as many votes and it stayed
exactly the same.
That's exactly where you want to be when it comes to to to the controversy
uh getting the the controversy eyeballs. How's your uh how's your scrapyard wars
machine back there doing by the way? That's is that part of your set now? Yeah. Uh well, it's great to finally be
able to like have it out there for people to see, you know, um and
everything hiding it for like 3 months. I'm sorry
that your guys's build uh isn't available anymore. Uh I I would have
expected that if you put so much time and effort into it, you're proud of it. You would want to keep it, you know, as
a momento or whatever. But uh
you know, since you guys left most of the bulk of it here, uh I believe it
ended up in the recycle bin. In the recycle bin. Yeah, that's fine. I
understand. That's probably fair. I understand. I understand.
Luke's Dremel work was uh I I did take some pictures of it before.
Okay. That would have been good if you had a reinforced blade. I did. All right. So, I did find my
reinforced blades, but that was another thing that I just couldn't believe, especially watching
the that the the episode. It's like I
have I have a sawzaw right there. Okay. Okay.
Right there. And I have metal cutting blades for it.
And I have my uh
What else do I have? I I have my uh my other saw over there, too.
Yeah, there it is. That was easy. Wow. You're going to do
an internal hole on a pel window. You would cut out a window
with that. Get real. Get real. And
I'm just saying if you lost your cutting disc and you were like there's nothing
you cuz that's what you guys said at the time. One, I didn't see that. Two, you're
going to do How are you going to do that? Are you going to do an internal window? Three. Three. In response to all the
viewers who were like, there's a hacksaw right behind you. We had like 18
minutes. Yeah, we had like 18 minutes. They're like, "Yeah, wrap electrical tape around a
hacksaw blade and go ham." Like, it's steel and we have 18 minutes.
My jigsaw, though, there's a jigsaw on the on the shelf right now.
Even the jigsaw, that would have been a pretty rough hole. Like, if you're not
using a rotary, it would have done it. Well, it would have cut through it.
It's It's tough to get like really clean cuts even with a Dremel, though. I
No, it's not. I like actually do that all the time.
Yeah. any finishing on the edging, like you
don't you don't do you don't do any filing or anything like that. Uh without a file, if you angle the
blade and use the flat part of the blade, you can still file it down that
way. Luke's Luke's cheating. I've actually done this like a lot.
No, I I do believe you there. Actually, MNPC Tech, they have an old school video
on doing that where he goes over that that that technique and everything. So,
I I do believe you there. And I and honestly I do wish that I had remembered
at the time where my cutting blades were because that wasn't something that I had
intentionally like wanted to keep I don't like that.
We wouldn't have won the RGB part anyways. No, you wouldn't have.
Ours was way cooler than ours was. We would have felt even better cuz it it
wouldn't have been like wow we obviously should win this. It would have been like wow that was close.
Our plan with the window I don't think it would have been close. I think you still would have destroyed
them. Our plan with the Windows was to have the Windows and then we were just
going to take literally the pile of RGB lighting and just throw it in the case.
So like it wasn't actually going to be a lot better. We were going for like a
like a hashtag irony like cancer
implementation of it in the first place. It was just supposed to be a slightly
more sensible one. The RGB protest
make it super ironic over the top. Yes, exactly. That was kind of the idea.
Jay really likes that kind of dark take on things too. So that probably would
have played well with him. Yeah. I mean although we couldn't have competed with again more rule bending
the bribes that some people had for the judges
which really held no weight in the end. We didn't even
there with our system but that didn't work out for whatever reason. So we we
had to present that sent from England though. So we couldn't
just leave that. Yeah it wasn't. But if it was included
in the money that they had for the event, that's absolutely completely
then it would have been completely above board. Yes,
that's technically a thing. You could you could bribe the judge.
Yes. It would just have to come from money that your computer
I have. What would bought candy from the
gaming? Scariard. Scariard wars. All we have to do is give
all the budget money to the judge up front. Like we don't even need a system.
Like just $300 cash.
Well, as long as you only want 10% of the possible score, then yes.
Then that would work out perfectly. Damn those rules.
And and you had a judge with very poor morals. I was anyone else blown away when they
saw viewers being like, "What are you guys talking about, March? Was this
really filmed like 3 months ago?"
Yes. What do you mean? If you see a 10-minute video, it clearly takes 10 minutes to
make. It was done 10 minutes ago. I enjoyed all the people giving me
advice after like the first one or two episodes had aired of how we like how we
should go about doing things next. So, like
I got I got some tweets and I saw some comments like, "Oh, you guys should do
this." Like, whatever. Then you can totally win. I I had a few people trying to give
me uh suggestions on where to buy things
and like actually really good ones. I
was just like, I can't use this anymore. I had someone who was like really
positive like they were like they had my back. Someone else was criticizing
something about the show and they were like, "Well, you know what? It's really
expensive to produce. I mean, you know, with a week in between, they've got to
be like flying up and down all the time between their studio and LA to make
their other videos. And I'm just like, "Oh, dude, I appreciate it." But like,
no. Oh, yeah. I saw that coming. It was Luke.
Yeah. No, no, that isn't how it works.
Anyway, we tried to fly up and down. Someone's suggesting in Twitch chat that we do a
followup to this just like a as as a
like a like a score settler. Okay. Where
there's no budget. Oh my. You only get to use your YouTube fame to
acquire parts.
We have actually considered it. Yes, we have considered it.
I mean that would probably work to some degree.
Yeah. Um just all the review samples we've ever
gotten. I would feel so weird doing that. Be like, "Hey, YouTuber, I get hardware for
free all the time. Please give me solution like
terrible." But uh but yeah, I'm sure there would be people who would be happy
to do it, you know, if they they get a shout out and all that kind of stuff, which is awesome. Like willing to do
that ego.
I don't know. Luke and I have actually discussed that concept before
with like some pretty detailed specifics. And the reason we didn't do it because
ultimately it would just end up being who can build the best rig with at that
time 6950X's, dual Titan XPS,
128 gigs of RAM, and like a massive SSD raid array. Like it's
you're going to get it all. That that's that's the like problem with it because
they're just going to be like, "Okay, give it back to me when the show's done." because we had even talked about
it as like because remember we didn't
tell you guys what the challenge was going to be until we got there because
we didn't decide until we were sitting in the airplane waiting for our
connection or in the airplane in the airport waiting for our connection on our way down there and we were like okay
what should we do and that was one of the ones we pitched. I was like, "Oh, they're down in City of Industry area.
So, literally every tech brand is there. Why don't we do use whatever connections
you want, get whatever you can to cap off the like ego wars, like ego
wars idea, you could have like
like state the area that the judging is going to happen.
Yeah. And then just get a total average out of
all of the fans that show up.
So, it's like literally just an ego competition. Like you can post the
benchmarking results and everything but they get to decide which one they like
think is better. See the problem is that I am for some reason so unpopular can't imagine why
that whenever it is a popularity contest.
So so so because you might lose you're not okay with doing it at all.
Yes. Which is exactly why I'm so unpopular.
That's risk management right there. Oh my goodness. Oh man.
All right. You guys did say you had to go after half an hour. Do you have to
go? Uh, we can hang out for a few more minutes if uh if you guys have more
interesting stuff to talk about. Well, we're running right up against our sponsor spots. So, we were thinking we
kind of had to do that. So, if if that's a good time for us to to
cut out, then uh then then that would be okay with us.
Okay. Sure. Well, okay. So, once more, thank you guys for being part of the
whole thing. I I I hope it was legitimately fun, even though you only
got a consolation prize. We had a good time. As much as we hate
to admit it, it was fun. Wars is genuinely really fun.
Uh, it was great. I think especially since it was like the old school Linus
Linus Media Group, uh, guys who came down here, that was really cool to hang
out with you guys. So, yeah, of course, you know, we're still super
pissed that we lost and everything, but uh, thank you. Thank you for having us
on Scrapyard Wars and and for bringing us on the WAN Show so you guys
we'll hold these dear to our hearts. We really will. We'll be in our hearts
forever. All right. Thanks, guys. Thanks, guys.
Bye, everybody. See you. Bye, Hero.
Oh, he's down there licking his butt.
Gross. That's Paul's dog for those of you who don't know. All right, I'm done. I'm
cutting up. Paul's.
All right. All right. So,
uh, back to back to the WAN Show. Sponsor spots.
We actually have uh we have a couple a couple sponsors today.
Are they back? I think Savage Jerky's back, which is great cuz it means we get
to eat the jerky. Colton will actually hit us if we eat
the jerky when it is not a Savage Jerky sponsored spot.
People will hit us savagely. Yeah, savagely. Savage Jerky. Their jerky is made with
the best ingredients. The best.
All of my friends called me and they were like, "No, it's the best. No, it's the best." You know what? I'm
not doing it today, though. It's your turn. You're doing a spicy one today. I'm
eating the cracked pepper and sea salt beef because this one's really nice.
You pick which one. I get to pick. You get to pick. Oh, well, you know what? I did it last
week and um No, no. I'm I'm not going to
give you the one that I did last week. Okay. So, the one I did last week was the um
I don't even know. The Reaper. I thought so. So, this is a five five alarm one.
Yeah. But the reason I'm not going to give you the Reaper is because from my
experience, the ghost pepper buffalo sauce one is actually worse. Okay,
great. Awesome. So, Savage Jerky,
the goal was to create a snack that was full of flavor and spice that wasn't bad
for you. And the inspiration for their flavors comes from garlic, lime, and
cilantro, and whatever else is on the front of the package since it brings out
the natural flavor of premium beef. People love the Sriracha bacon, maple
buffalo bacon, and of course, the traditional flavors.
We love you guys loving watching us suffer. So, we eat the really spicy
stuff, which is really not for the faint of heart. That's all that's left in there.
Is that cool or should I get the other one? Yeah, go for it. They also make barbecue
sauce, hot sauce, and a spice rub. Their Carolina Reaper hot sauce uses one of
the hottest peppers in the world, the Carolina Reaper. And you can use offer

Yeah. Like I think there just wasn't enough. Okay. All right. All right. Or you know how there's like you can
actually see the like spicy stuff on this jerky. Yeah.
I think maybe those two little bits like
All right. Didn't get it too much. There's a full package, baby. Oh jeez. I've always got I've always got
a full package for you. Oh, just the smell. The smell is
the smell is savage, as they say. All right,
there we go. Now, we actually have a new sponsor on the show for you guys today. Spectrum.
Oh, I guess we don't need these anymore. Yeah.
So, uh, James has actually been using these for quite a while at his station.
So staring at a monitor all day, it's actually no secret that the blue light
can be more harmful for your eyes than uh some other wavelength sand spectrum
basically aims to make bare glasses an affordable long-term solution to staring
at a computer screen all day. You can use software solutions like Flux
and Twilight, but they don't give you the same type of filtering that glasses
do. Features include being stylish, and I'll let you guys be the judge of that.
I think we look great, though. Yours look good. I don't I have no real
context for Yeah. Yours are But like if I look at that, I only see
this. Oh, right. You can't look at it straight on cuz it's like
I think you look beautiful. Thank you. Um high quality. They've got a one-year
warranty and low color distortion. So, the idea is to block high energy blue
light while keeping colors as similar as possible. They're the highest rated
among competitors on Amazon. And they're primarily focused on the Canadian and US
markets, but they will be expanding to Europe and will offer shipping
internationally. So, you can check them out at spectrumglasses.com/collections/roducts
or at the link below the video. Use offer code Linus to save 10%.
I'm still doing okay. I'm having some more jerky. Really?
Yeah. You can handle the ghost pepper. I wonder if it's just
tolerance cuz we've done this so many times. Yeah, maybe. Like literally maybe cuz I There was one
show where I ate the ghost pepper and it wrecked me. Or was that the Reaper?
I thought it was the I thought it was both to be honest.
It's hot. Like it's really hot but it's not like There's been I know there's
been times where I like can't handle it. H They should have like random little I'm
going to keep talking about Savage Jerky. I do this a lot. They should have
like a challenge pack
that's like a a little bit of like all of their spiciest ones. That's a good
idea. And you can like give your friend as like kind of like a joke gift or
something like a challenge pack of beef jerky. Like see how hot they can get.
That's actually a very cool cool idea. They'll probably watch this spot and
they will probably make a challenge pack because that would actually be super interesting.
At least consider it. Yeah. All right, we've got some big news here.
The original article is from Bloomberg. Call it like the gauntlet.
Facebook chases television's $70 billion
stash with its own video series. So,
Facebook is apparently, this is crazy,
starting to fund the creation of video series that will begin to appear on
Facebook.com. So, they're closing deals for their
first batch of shows, which will be available via a new video tab on
Facebook that is not there yet. By
funding original programs, Facebook hopes to entice more production
companies to upload premium video and will use them to siphon advertising
dollars away from television. I mean, here's an idea, Facebook. If you guys
are really serious about video, why don't you actually share some of the ad revenue with the people who are already
uploading video on your on your platform? Like, we upload to Facebook,
but we don't get paid for it. So, uh yeah, that would be that would be
maybe a thing, you guys. I it's it's interesting. That seems to be the flavor of the month. Uh like
self-produced proper TV shows that you host on a website.
You know what I'm saying? Like Netflix kind of blew the heck up and then
instead of redistributing everyone else's stuff,
started going really really hard with making their own things and actually canceling contracts for redistributing
other people's stuff and more being a platform for making their own things.
Amazon video is doing it like crazy. Now Facebook is doing it. YouTube's trying
to make their own like showike content on their own premium platform. It actually kind of blows me away that
YouTube has been so incredibly unsuccessful at it. Yes. But they're trying.
Yeah. It's just like it's kind of remarkable. Yeah.
Anyway, they're funding two kinds of programs.
Hero shows will be expensive series from
established TV producers that will take a few months to produce, and spotlight
shows will be cheaper videos from publishers like Vox and BuzzFeed.
All shows will be episodic and designed to spark conversation among Facebook
users. What do you think? Facebook has paid
celebrities to use its live video feature and encourage TV networks and
movie studios movie studios to stream live events and trailers on the social
network for free promotion. But this is
a whole other thing.
I think it's kind of interesting. What's getting a little bit
frustrating for me is now that there's all these platforms, we have the same
kind of issue that we had before, like on TV.
Yeah. Where it if the idea was that, okay, you
buy your cable subscription and you've got access to all your content
and then there's so many different channels now you need all the different packages and it's like, oh my goodness,
this costs so much now. Need that too. Um, this costs so much now. Um, which is
frustrating. And then now everyone has their own platform.
Yep. So now it's like, oh, before if I wanted to watch TV shows,
sorry, if I wanted to watch TV shows, I would just subscribe to Netflix.
Yeah. And now it's it's not even that like I'm not even just saying this because of
flow plane. But it's my main frustration is that it's actually all in different
places. So here's here's one argument and it
doesn't it doesn't actually help with the last thing you just said, but I had
already kind of committed to saying this before you said that. So now I'm stuck.
Um, at least even after you subscribe to
Netflix and Hulu and Amazon Prime Video
and YouTube Red and Facebook Video, I
don't even know if they're going to charge HBO Go and Floatplane.
Even after you subscribe to all of those things, you're still paying less than
what like Nick pays for his cable TV subscription. So if you're a cord cutter
No, I hear that it's not that bad. I mean, it's better to be a cord cutter. It'd be nice if it
all consolid like it'd be nice if Plex could just
Yeah. Like that would be it. That would You know what? Plex make that cuz that's
honestly my biggest complaint is that I have to go all over the place. And like
it's a little bit frustrating because even with all these bajillion different platforms, I still can't get everything.
I want to watch Star Wars Rebels. I can't.
Right. You can't do it in Canada legally. Like
Yeah, I know. There's like multiple many different ways to pirate it, which I
found while trying to buy it legally because I couldn't find a way to find it
legally. And there was all the pirate ones right at the top cuz it's so difficult.
To be fair, for the people that don't know, we're in Canada. That's why it's a
problem. Yeah. In the States, it's not a problem. Wow. Just buy the DVDs. I have to do it at
the end of the season. That's what I'm doing. I bought the first two seasons on
DVD. Viewers on the show have tanked since Paul and Kyle left. We should get them
back. Paul, Kyle, come back. Please help us.
Yeah. Um, all right. Moving on to our next topic then.
The iPad Pro outperforms the MacBook Pro
in some CPU and GPU tasks. The original
article here is from 9 to5 Mac and it was posted by Hey Yo on the forum. Now,
to be clear, we're talking about Geekbench, I think, in this case, um,
which is not the be all and end all of,
you know, performance benchmarks necessarily. And this is very much an
apples to oranges comparison,
but they uh they stacked the 2017 and
2016 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar models up against four different iPad Pro
models and put them through a series of Geekbench and GFX Bench tests looking at
CPU and GPU performance. Yeah, I'm usually really against like
just blindly hating on things, but uh oh, this in the chat said, "Comparing
crap with crap. Great." And I just I just
it was good. I like that one.
Well, the MacBook Pro is not uh the latest one. Like,
but I think what he's saying is like I like Yeah, but it's probably by not a
huge amount. And like I don't know if this is going to influence anyone's
purchasing decision. So, no, because they're completely different devices. It's like saying
it's like saying that your toaster outperforms your oven in some
benchmarks. Yeah, that's nice. And they're both heat stuff
up. like they're similar in that in that way, but in much the same way that you
wouldn't um you know edit video in a
serious way on an iPad Pro. You wouldn't
bake a turkey in a in a toaster. So,
but you could not the whole thing. Not a toaster oven. Well, okay. Okay.
You could you could make turkey in a toaster if it came to that.
Where there's a will, there's a way. So the uh apparently the 12.9 and 10.5 in
models did edge out both MacBook Pro models. And for multi-core CPU
performance though the MacBook Pro came out on top but in second place the 2017
one. In second place was the 10 and a half in iPad Pro. So the couple caveats
the benchmark tests are not necessarily anything to do with real world. MacBook
Pro models have larger higher resolution displays than the iPad Pros which play a
role especially in GPU tests. than iOS's software is nearly perfectly optimized
for the devices it runs on, whereas there's a bit more room for error when
it comes to macOS. Okay, I don't know if that's necessarily a valid um yeah,
that doesn't make any sense. I don't know how that ended up in the notes. All right, leaked AMD's Epic 7000 series.
We don't have Xbox One X news in the dock.
Xbox One X? Oh, yeah. Do you want to talk about it?
It's not in the dock. I can go find a thing. I know the name is stupid. Yeah,
cool. Again. Yeah. So, AMD Epic 7000. Apparently, it's
supposed to launch on June 20th. Oh, wow. Okay, that's really soon. So, um
Oh, okay. No, maybe this is just the NDA lifts. So, it's supposed to be,
according to this article, up to 32 high performance Zen cores, eight channel
DDR4 memory with up to two terabytes of memory supported per CPU,
128 PCI Express lanes,
um, an integrated chipset, whatever that means. I think they just mean an onboard
memory controller. Maybe they've brought some more stuff on board and socket
compatible with next generation epic processors. So, AMD has talked about
this. They have a plan for Zen moving forward. This is not a a one and done.
Um, so the idea is no compromise on one socket. Something something something a
bunch of grass and uh Oh, look at that. They've got like a whole a whole lineup
showing how they plan to compare against the existing V4 Xeons.
Very cool. All right. They're going to
have up to 180 watt server chips. Holy
actual moly. That's incredible. All right, then.
Cool. So, that's all rumored, though. We don't know any of that for sure.
Another rumor. This was posted by NVIDIA Intel AMD love triangle on the forum.
Well, that's a uh that that's a username
that'll never get unfunny cuz that's sure not happening.
Upcoming. This is originally from Guru 3D. upcoming GeForce GTX Volulta cards
apparently to use GDDR5X,
not HBM2 like some of their high-end workstation cards. So, the GP100
actually already uses HBM2 and uh to my
knowledge, the Tesla, what is it, the V100 or whatever it's
called, the the new one, the the Voltabased uh Tesla card.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. though that one is going to use HBM2 as well. But no, the rumor here is
that uh let's have a look here. While
HBM2 would offer potentially some
performance improvement, it is simply too expensive for consumer products at
this time. And if the rumored pricing of AMD's
um uh what what are they calling it?
Frontier Frontier Edition. Frontier edition. Yeah.
I'm pretty darn sure it's Frontier Edition. Yeah, Vega Frontier Edition. If the
rumored pricing of Frontier Edition is anything to go by, looks like it's going
to be around $1,200 to $1,800,
then I think that uh that may that may
just be the case, and there might not be a whole lot we can do about that.
Um, I'm going to try to make this very
quickly. I don't understand what this means. Okay, so I think that's pretty
much uh I think that's pretty much it
in terms of all cont Oh, wait. Whoa, whoa, hold on a second. What is this?
This what? This isn't real. What? What is this?
What? Hold on a second. Inside.com. Is this Is
this real? Who? A 70-year-old great-g
grandandmother is opening up after surviving 5 days trapped in her car
after crashing 40 feet down an embankment. Five broken ribs, a broken
back. She told Inside Edition she was in
pain but considers herself lucky. Bob.
What?
It wasn't too long before her family grew worried. her nephew Bob.
Bob. Bob. BS mom. Bob Stewart.
Bob. That's freaking awesome. No way. When Bob saw the car for the first time
after her rescue, he got emotional as memories came floating back. That's
understandable. When I first heard a voice, I was just
looking over the edge. The more I looked, the more I could see. The brush was disturbed a little bit. Holy crap.
Bob, you're a badass. Their only clue was a ping from a cell phone tower that
covered several miles along Route 12, which is about 2 hours out of Seattle.
We didn't know if we were looking for just a car or just the phone, he
recalled. They had to search hundreds of roads nearly impossible to access.
Holy cow, look at the car.
Oh no, this is a different one. Never mind. That's motorist crashes into swimming pool.
I don't think there's pictures of this. Wow. Way to go, Bob. So, I misunderstood
the uh the headline here. Scrapyard Wars
4 champion saves a life. I was like I thought I was reading five and I was
like I'm sure Paul and Kyle would might have mentioned that. Also, they didn't
win and so neither of us saved a life recently.
Wow. So, yeah, Bob from BS Mod freaking
found his Wow. Way to go, Bob.
You the man, man. Um Oh, this is great. So, originally
posted by Lionus Touch Tips on the forum. Wow, whatever that means.
Original article from Guru 3D. Razer launches a new Blade Stealth with a 13.3
in display and a new gunmetal color option. So, if there was any doubt in my
mind before as to whether or not I am in Razer's good books right now, this
pretty much seals it. I didn't hear about this until I read it in the news.
Oh my goodness. So, there you there you go.
Yeah. Really? All right. So, I think that pretty much wraps it up for this week's WAN Show.
Thank you guys very much for tuning in. We will see you again next week. Same
bat time, same bat channel. Uh, Xbox One X news. Uh, you can read
all the specs on their website. Ours Technica has a really good breakdown of
specs of like all the current edition consoles, uh, which is actually pretty
cool. So, check that out. I will post that in the chat just in case you're
looking for it. The name is really dumb. The again just like always uh the name
that they had before Xbox Scorpio was
pretty freaking cool and they just canned that went with Xbox One X I guess
so that the acronym still is Xbox um
so that's weird but okay.
Everything's okay. That's about it. True 4K but like what
games are going to support it? Pretty sure ours answers that too. Go check
that out. True 4K on that GPU.
Apparently, it's true 4K.
Whatever. See you next time.
Yes, Joy. I'll be streaming tonight.
This guy says, "Luke, indie game dev here. Would you be interested in a short
two-player game on one keyboard based on the Lancho intro?" And you'd have to
drag the sofa in together. Is that a Is that a game?
You could play it instead of running the simulator.
I think we're good. I mean, I can't speak for you. It was addressed to you.
No, I I think that's okay. Does that just mean I have to carry the whole
couch and you just don't really play? I I don't know. You play for like the first half and
you're just like, uh, great great game. 10 out of 10 IGN.
