0:03

0:14
tease right there no get it oh there's
0:18
there's all the there's all the sea teasing that could sea teasing oh that's
0:24
so good yeah C teasing man no one's going to get that for a little while
0:29
they'll get it Channel Super Fun man it is going to have quite a video on it in
0:33
a little while here and you guys are going to you guys are going to like it
0:37
if you know what I mean um they like the
0:41
Finish no what I am upset about is my stupid laptop
0:48
that we had a new person start today so I actually had to give up my desk I no
0:53
longer have a desk in the editing Den all five of them are consumed by shooter
0:59
sledit edor people um so I was like okay
1:03
well that's fine I'll just use my laptop and so I went downstairs I set up a
1:07
table for myself and I like started
1:10
working on something and I was like oh I got to reboot and I rebooted and boom
1:14
Windows installation corrupted so I went from having two usable computers at the
1:18
office to having zero in a span of like six minutes um so I actually had to re
1:25
reformat my computer before the show today and so I'm not okay so the the the
1:31
the the final like where I'm trying to get to with this story is I'm not logged
1:35
twitch and I can't see the twitch chat yeah yeah yeah that that's when did all
1:39
that happen cuz you've already obviously Ned this and installed like office and
1:43
stuff uh yeah it happened like two hours ago it was before we shot that thing
1:48
with the um with the um okay so Channel Super Fun Should
1:53
we say what it involves let's say what it involves
1:58
dildos there is a Channel Super Fun that
2:01
involves unconventional use of dildos
2:05
okay a few of them too so get subscribed get subscribed because it's going to be
2:08
awesome it is all right let's uh what do we got for topics today uh Samsung and
2:13
Oppo sued over bloat Weare in China that's good everyone should get sued
2:17
over blo okay not everyone should get sued over bloatware download the lus
2:21
tech tips app comes complete with McAfee and ask G have one no we don't well we
2:26
do have one but we don't have one don't no don't it Al together uh Logitech
2:31
Chang his name to logi sort of kind of
2:35
maybe a little bit we'll talk about that later 7 Nom chip prototype by IBM oo
2:40
also Ellen pow the interim CEO of Reddit
2:43
has mutually resigned mutually
2:47
resigned has been mutually pushed out the
2:51
door she pushed
2:58
backwards
3:18
yeah and also
3:21
linda.com yeah hello you know my throat is
3:27
actually sore from filming that video
3:32
it really is but mine's not you'll understand why and
3:38
it it's okay it's not related to dildos
3:42
but it's definitely related to penises
3:45
and that will make more sense when you watch the video
3:48
wow um so Samsung and Oppo sued over
3:52
bloatware in China the original poster here is Captain Gaz and I'm going to go
3:57
ahead and pull up the original article here from Android
4:02
authority here we go just to be clear my throat is also sore but not actually
4:07
from that video oh wow okay so
4:13
uh all right so the lawsuit came about following numerous consumer complaints
4:18
about unwanted apps so the case is actually the first of its kind filed by
4:23
the consumer Rights Commission to be accepted by a Shanghai court so the
4:28
Galaxy Note has 44 pre-installed apps in
4:33
the Chinese market and the Oppo Fine 7A
4:36
has 71 pre-installed apps by default now we
4:40
get it the business model behind pre-installed apps is that you get a
4:45
kickback from the App Maker because they can in theory
4:49
monetize somehow or or it's just keeping
4:53
people within your locked typ ecosystem yes so okay so when it's a third party
4:57
pre-installed app it's all all about um
5:00
monetizing it somehow so you're taking your user base and you're monetizing it
5:05
allowing those app makers to have that as their user base which they can then
5:09
monetize whether it's through microtransactions in a game or whether
5:12
it's through uh selling personal details whether it's anonymously or like the
5:17
more nefarious kind where it's actually tied to the actual individual and then
5:22
what Luke was saying too was when it's more like Samsung's or oppo's own like
5:28
first party apps how many parties are there okay well whatever Samsung's own
5:33
apps installed well it's that's just a clever way of trying to present a better
5:37
value to the consumer um to get them locked into that platform because maybe
5:41
say they like Samsung's mail app than someone else you go to buy a phone in
5:45
the future you can be like well it doesn't have all those things that I used all the time and then you'll want
5:49
the same phone which is fine if you can remove them but um yeah that's not
5:55
always necessarily the case so the problem is that neither company informed
6:00
consumers about the number of apps pre-installed in the handsets and that
6:03
consumers are not offered any information on how to uninstall those
6:07
that they don't want so the smartphone companies have 15 days to enter a
6:11
defense after which a trial date will be announced it's really interesting to me
6:15
that pre-installed apps have have now
6:19
turned into a potentially legal issue
6:22
for the companies that are putting them on because which is cool this is something that we've been dealing with
6:27
since like you know buying a Gateway
6:31
with an AOL crap on it and like nordon
6:34
360 wild tangent games you have to use
6:37
the Norton removal tool to take it off because it's so parasitic you
6:41
ever have you ever played a wild tangent
6:44
game no but I've removed it off of so
6:48
many computers hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them that's right you worked
6:52
for Geek Squad and a few other places so you really have REM I actually have yes
6:58
and like the Norton remov I had a script and a USB and it was one of those uh
7:02
what was it the the U2 whatever USBS that had Auto whatever that people used
7:07
for hacking all the time but I used the auto thing to launch a script which
7:11
would just run through remove wild tangent game it would remove all the
7:14
ones that were on everything right so it would remove wild tangent games uh it
7:18
would run the Norton removal tool it would do all this stuff and just nuke
7:22
all the things right at the beginning just be like screw this computer screw
7:25
that computer whatever get out of here
7:29
don't want your crap no one cares about your stupid game that is freaking I
7:34
wonder what wild tangent is doing now I don't know I'm going to Google
7:39
this cuz I haven't heard of them in a really long time they're a thing no no
7:43
no no they all they're they're owned by
7:47
HP wild tangent games for HP ah what no
7:51
because ASUS had it Aus had wild tangent
7:55
stuff pre-installed on a laptop recently Redmond Wasington based Game Network
8:00
privately held in the United States that powers game services for several PC
8:03
manufacturers including Dell no no they're their own thing I think that one
8:08
maybe it's just because we're looking at Wild
8:28
tangent.com looks like they have like DS games and stuff what is it possible that
8:33
their games are no more offensive than space pinball I like space and this is
8:38
not a sponsorship integration for wild tangent it really wouldn't be based on
8:42
how much we've talked about how we I don't think anyone's worried about yeah
8:46
I'm just I'm just making sure it's very clear I mean what is what is what is
8:50
open a boutique sugar games shut up it's
8:53
$10 are you for real oh my God so wait is their monetization
8:58
platform trying to get people to buy the games I've honestly never launched the
9:02
app I've just red yeah does it come with demos maybe the twitch chat knows twitch
9:07
chat seems to know all kinds of things sometimes buy a fire pole wild tent
9:12
comes with every HP purchase Luke fire pool mhm space pinball rules yes indeed
9:19
why doesn't steam come pre-installed instead of wild tangent great question
9:23
that would be fantastic you can get steam using nite.com yeah nite.com is
9:28
basically the equivalent of like WinRAR Chrome steam filezilla I
9:33
love how we have twitch staff that watch this stream consistently you're awesome
9:38
yeah that's all I have to say uh so no one saying that wild
9:45
tangent really no one's talking about I don't think anybody knows they just see
9:48
on the computer and they remove it cuz it's garbage a and it would take up a lot of
9:53
space sometimes to I know it was huge I
9:56
know especially back in the day when laptops had like you know 80 gig hard
10:01
drives it's like you have the operating system and then wild tangent games and
10:05
you're just done it's like no you cannot take up a couple hundred Megs on an 80
10:09
gig hard drive if you're not something useful period I it's really funny this
10:14
this really makes me this sends me back to like the day when like like my
10:20
parents first computer one of our hard
10:24
drives was I oh shoot I it was something
10:29
ridiculous we had a small one and a big one and if I recall correctly the big
10:34
one was 100
10:38
megabytes and I was just like
10:42
great it could hold almost nothing it
10:46
was awesome and like nowadays we've just
10:50
reached the point like I think once we cracked the one tbte capacity per Drive
10:55
combined with how so much of our storage is cloud-based which might not
11:00
necessarily benefit you in terms of like okay I want to look at that picture I'm
11:04
going to download it from my cloud account no no not necessarily although
11:08
some people do use Facebook purely as a picture repository um no I mean cloud
11:13
storage in the sense that or or like cloud-based in the sense that like you
11:16
don't have to have every game installed on your computer all the time because
11:20
it's like a half an hour process of swapping in discs and like reinstalling
11:25
it and looking up that stupid CD key where is it and that kind of nonsense
11:30
you didn't have that that bad because you kept a database uh I did too yes but
11:36
there was quite I think I bought uh Warcraft 3 three times and then I was
11:40
fin like screw it I'm logging all this stuff yep Starcraft I bought more than
11:44
once Starcraft 1 um you know I wonder if
11:47
blizzard became such a big company because people had to Reby their games
11:51
so many damn times Well you only needed the key by
11:56
the Starcraft stage you actually only needed your key in fact my Warcraft 3
12:01
disc was missing forever no my my problem is losing the keys oh you would
12:05
lose the keys oh oh yeah no I I do have
12:09
a key repository because I had I I immediately downloaded isos for those
12:14
discs right I just needed the keys game copy world yes exactly I am not putting
12:19
CDs in my computer that is stupid I paid
12:23
for this software if I can't find my 1602 ADC CD
12:29
I am still going to trade like wool and
12:33
cloth and fight Pirates period it's
12:36
going to happen game Coffey world was the best oh my God are they still around
12:41
I don't again let's look up something old yeah I have I actually legitimately
12:45
have no idea cuz that was like remember Far Cry had five discs yeah and I was
12:51
just like oh my God it looks the same it still looks exactly the same that's
12:56
hilarious wow oh that's awesome aome this is wonderful important
13:01
notice this is so it looks that site
13:06
looks so early 2000s what Dragon Age
13:09
Inquisition FIFA 2015 Dying Light Witcher three so they still have no c r
13:15
stuff I guess people some people still buy CDs of the game so they might
13:20
actually have use for an OCD patch wow
13:23
there it is guys game copy World got
13:26
that Pac-Man logo I love it makes me feel so old school cuz they're
13:30
advertising Eve too right
13:34
wow all right should we do any actual topics today um man I mean yes the
13:39
OnePlus 2 is going to have 4 gigs of LP
13:43
ddr4 RAM so the official statement why
13:46
did we choose lpddr 4 for the OnePlus 2
13:49
lower power consumption and better battery efficiency twice the B with
13:53
performance as lpddr3 at the same power
13:56
see that one com lower operating voltage than its press rate pre predecessor I
14:00
didn't see that one coming from 1.2 volts to 1.1 volts speeds of up to 32 GB
14:05
per second it is twice as fast as LP DDR3 that's actually the same as the
14:09
second point which was twice the bandwidth performance yeah uh it also
14:14
happens to be the only type of RAM to run on the Snapdragon 810 it's interesting literally the only one they
14:19
could have used it's it is interesting to me that the
14:24
Snapdragon 810 was the choice I mean even though like okay you you know about
14:29
like the whole thing going on with Snapdragon 810 no so basically it
14:33
thermal throttles like a [ __ ] in pretty much every phone um now with that said
14:38
the OnePlus 2 should be pretty big and
14:42
if they decide to build in a pretty beefy thermal solution they might have
14:45
fewer problems than it with it than others stuff but LG and the G4 my video
14:50
of which is up on vessel but not YouTube yet I think so some of you may have seen
14:54
it already on the G4 um I was surprised
14:58
having done zero research on the G4 until I was holding it in my hand cuz
15:02
I'm not like I'm not an obsessive phone guy but like I've spent enough time with
15:07
enough phones I have absolutely no problems reviewing them it's just that
15:10
I'm not I'm not I'm not reading rumor sites so when it arrives I'm like okay
15:15
and I was like oh this has a Snapdragon 808 in it so that's actually four low
15:20
power cores and only two high performance cores versus the four high
15:23
performance cores in the 810 not to mention that it has no support for
15:27
lpddr4 and I was like this is a flagship phone this is a $600 phone are you guys
15:32
for real and it was really interesting because Android authority did a great
15:38
article where they had the uh the G4 and
15:41
the glex 2 which are similar like both
15:45
current generation Flagship class phones
15:48
one of which runs the 810 the glex 2 and
15:51
one of which which runs the lower end cheaper actually 808 and they discovered
15:57
that the the g flx 2 and they could only
16:01
really say glex 2 because you can't say oh the 810 throttles more than the 808
16:05
because we're just looking at two individual Thon theral profiles but the
16:08
glex 2 throttled like crazy whereas the
16:12
G4 took I think it was something in the neighborhood of 6 minutes to start
16:16
really thermally throttling meaning that you're actually unless you're doing
16:19
something heavily multi-threaded which let's face it doesn't happen that often
16:22
on a phone like if you're encoding video on your phone which you might do once in
16:27
a while twice yeah I've done it a couple times but like you know um so if you're
16:33
doing anything that's not heavily multi-threaded you could actually be better off with an 808 so uh anyway the
16:38
OnePlus 2 will not have that it'll have an 810 and it'll have four gigs of
16:42
lpddr4 because it has to is is is phone
16:45
memory getting out of hand like is that that's got to be a straw pole guys straw
16:52
pole phone storage is we should get straw po as a sponsor we're always using
16:57
it I love that that site do they even or probably a huge percentage of their
17:01
bandwidth do they even advertise drop hole probably not I I don't even know
17:06
it's just this dude what is their monetization model app created by dander
17:11
it's not a difficult thing yeah I guess
17:14
that's we could just make our own I guess we could if we really wanted to I
17:18
don't want to that hard yeah um I think that's the reason why we use it is cuz
17:23
it's easy and everything else might
17:26
exist but there's no point looking for it cuz this one exists
17:30
turnip all right now I know a lot of you
17:35
have bought the shirt but I would like you to resist the urge to vote for
17:41
turnup this time for those of you who don't know about this turn up wow and
17:46
it's winning we're going to have a moment of
17:51
silence to appreciate your
17:55
disrespect it's winning by so much Luke
17:58
you're a lot of things to me okay you're an employee you know you're a friend
18:02
you're a fellow dildo racer you're a fellow dildo
18:07
racer yeah you're a colleague you know
18:11
you're and you just you can't respect me enough to not vote for
18:18
turnip wrecked uh I can't oh my goodness shut
18:23
up oh this tab needs to go away now it's
18:28
like like Norton security shaww security we're everything SEC oh my God I have a
18:33
touchpad I can't close the dialogue and hit the exit fast enough but lonus these
18:38
actions required there was threats detected like your nor security key ran
18:42
out so you need to buy one that's a
18:47
threat jeez may I offer you a Norton
18:50
removal tool for those of you who aren't aware we actually have a vote for turnip
18:55
shirt coming out I haven't bought one of these yet I got to get get on that we're
18:59
not expecting this to be like the most popular shirt we've ever done cuz it's
19:02
basically just an inside joke for the W show viewers who are not even I don't
19:07
think the majority of our viewers it's just no you guys who watch W show uh cuz
19:13
we don't we don't refer to turnips anywhere else nope so I think a lot of
19:17
people when I'm like what the hell is this shirt the thing with the body paint
19:20
is that out yet not yet a lot of people are going to be super duper confused I
19:24
think everyone's going to be a little confused yeah but we are finally doing
19:29
that um that that new office
19:33
crowdfunding campaign thing where we committed to me wearing body paint in a
19:38
video I think that's the last second last one second last one there's one
19:41
more you know what I don't think I've
19:45
received your uh Daniel Radcliffe Harry Potter I'm actually so stoked for that
19:50
what I do have though is I have the chalkboard sticker oh cool of the speech
19:55
bubble so we can actually say whatever we want it's going to start with
19:59
wingardium get the F back to work Luke but then it can but we could change it
20:03
that's cool he could cast all kinds of
20:06
spells we should have that atica stops
20:11
lacking that would kill me but not but um tell me this when
20:18
you're slacking can you really tell the difference between slacking luk and dead
20:22
Luke wow wow is there Resurrection there
20:26
is but you get when you get resurrected in the Harry Potter Universe you don't
20:29
really like have your soul you know you live in a picture frame I think no no no
20:34
that's not Resurrection oh you're talking about a hor Crux now you have to split your soul
20:40
prior to dying so your soul is still alive in like you know some's dildo
20:46
three there's there's the one dildo
20:51
there's there's the wand there's the cape and there's something else isn't
20:54
there and the third one the Deathly Hallows yeah doesn't that one bring someone back to life and doesn't someone
20:58
do it and then the person is like oh not
21:02
the same I don't remember it's been a while I'm not I'm not up on my Harry
21:06
Potter stuff it's been a long time I
21:09
loved those books but it's been a long time does anyone
21:13
remember I don't know everyone's just talking about dildos yeah everyone's
21:16
just talking about dildos in twitch chat dildo um what were we even talking about
21:21
someone should make after reading Giga dildo someone should make like Gundam
21:25
Wing inspired inspired dildos yeah that
21:29
sounds extraordinarily uncomfortable well you could make it or you could just
21:33
have like a dildo collection you wouldn't actually have to use them I guess that's true like if you were like
21:38
a dildo offic AO someone would use it I'm sure someone has a dildo collection
21:42
too I'm sure tons of people have dildo collection well no but I mean like just
21:45
a collection like on display oh with like zero intent of USIC yeah yeah I'm
21:50
sure someone out there just collects dildos probably so has phone memory
21:53
gotten out of hand we've got turnip running away with 42% of the vote 30 %
21:58
of you are saying no bring bring on the memory I'd love to have more RAM in my
22:02
phone what I want to know is how many people even have Chrome on their phones
22:07
why do they need so much memory just kidding sorry Chrome that
22:11
was a cheap shot um oh probably tons but
22:14
how many people really have that much stuff open at a time on their phones to
22:19
the point where you would actually run out of three or even two gigs of memory
22:24
without getting to the point where you've got so much background crap running that it's draining your battery
22:29
life to the point where you can like I have my phone use habits have actually
22:35
overshot modern modern technology yeah I
22:39
just tried to double tap this um my phone habits have
22:44
overshot most modern Flagship smartphones in terms of battery capacity
22:49
because using the Droid Turbo has made me just take for granted that I can just
22:54
do whatever I want on my phone and I'm going to have like 20% 15% left at the
22:57
end end of the day even when I use it really hard so the LG G4 like I would
23:03
make it but I had one really long day where I both got up early and I had to
23:07
work really late when I didn't make it
23:10
and using something like the S6 Edge
23:13
like really using it I almost I very rarely make it through the day today I'm
23:17
going to make it um and using the iPhone 6 uh when I was doing my Apple Watch
23:22
review was actually really tough because
23:25
combining the fact that the iPhone 6 is battery really isn't that great with the
23:29
fact that all of a sudden now I've got Bluetooth on all the time cuz I've got it paired to a watch um I made it
23:36
through I think I think the first two days in a row I didn't make it through
23:39
the day I don't even want to keep using this there's huge problems with this
23:44
thing I need to reformat it for one but I don't get notifications at all unless
23:48
the screen is on which is why I need to reformat it but there's there's other
23:51
various reasons it's not really that big of a deal but the reason why I'm being
23:54
so reluctant to give up on it is every other phone option that I have will make
23:59
it through 6 hours of a day right yeah the Z3 is not bad it's got like what
24:03
3,000 pretty good um G4 is another one
24:07
that like I did okay with but I'm really excited right now about the S6 active
24:13
yeah do you have that I saw that looks super cool it's not on me right now but
24:17
I'm I'm trying to pump out my Apple Watch review so that like I've still got
24:23
a few more things I want to observe about it um so I'm trying to pump that
24:26
out because I will be completely changing gears and
24:30
I will be switching to the S6 active and the pebble time which also just arrived
24:35
so I'll be going Apple ecosystem to
24:38
Android plus something else not in an ecosystem at all and having those two
24:42
experiences back to back which is part of what I love about being a tech
24:46
reviewer just trying these things it's really nice and I must admit and and
24:51
having having that getting that perspective CU before um well also when
24:57
I was a fair a bit younger I succumbed much more to the uh I I call this out
25:01
all the time the just being angry about
25:05
purchasing decisions or people online will just fight because they're like I
25:09
bought this thing and I need to justify my purchase so screw you that's where I
25:14
see a lot of thaty Wars exactly um but
25:18
being able to try everything you start to realize that there's usually pros and
25:22
cons to literally everything and it's kind of just fine as long as it works
25:26
for you it's very rare that we come up with something that is just
25:29
unequivocably bad like just terrible and
25:32
no one should buy it and like the core effects like the like the core effects
25:37
oh well okay what we can say about the core effects is that it's early early
25:42
days for that technology yeah and that
25:45
should just tape an Xbox controller to your chest and that and that um there is
25:50
something to be said for more interactivity with games true it's just
25:55
that that product is isn't it
25:59
no um oh you know the arag or ar or
26:03
whatever it is sorry it's okay the a rag though yeah we might be able to get a
26:08
sample okay that's cool yeah yeah um I
26:11
still I'm very interested in force feedback vest yeah just the core effects
26:15
was just not good yeah you've been doing like all the like weird stuff lately
26:19
like that 3D scanner the core effects thing it it might is it even refreshing
26:23
to go back and do a keyboard for a change it's honestly uh I've been
26:28
looking at it and like this is going to sound a little bit bad because I especially when I first started I was
26:32
like all about keyboards yeah there hasn't been a lot of major changes the
26:37
MX board 6.0 is that what it's called MX board 6.0 does have a completely
26:42
redesigned actual electronic electrical structure to it does it does but I need
26:47
to I need to do some testing to see future a noticeable difference I also
26:53
want to give it to Ed yeah and see if he
26:56
feels a difference cuz Ed's like this crazy Counter-Strike player so like if
27:00
he if he notices like tiny amounts of difference then that's super cool my
27:03
understanding is he's actually pretty good but I've never played with him play
27:06
with him either oh okay but like he super knows what he's talking about yeah
27:10
he claims his rank is good and he uploaded some footage in one of our
27:14
reviews where he seemed to be poning dudes or something so I'm like okay sure
27:17
yeah that's cool um speaking of poning dudes EA will pay a $60 million fine for
27:25
the unauthorized use of names and
27:28
portraits of athletes so let's go ahead and now game
27:34
sh uh yeah original original link here is from game shock now I'm going to go
27:38
ahead I'm a I'm a I'm a leap all over this and say uh this is not even the
27:44
like the the the the crowning head of
27:47
the tip of the iceberg that is the
27:50
Injustice of um what do we even call it
27:55
we can't call it professional Athletics in the United States because they aren't
27:59
getting paid um so but someone's getting
28:03
paid it just isn't the athlete so the whole the whole system down there where
28:07
you're trading experience for uh someone
28:10
else making a a ton of money like basically you're it's like it's like
28:14
asking people to buy lotto tickets kind of thing you're like you're taking their
28:18
money for them to have a chance to win
28:22
big and make it to the NFL or the NBA
28:25
and we're giving them nothing in return turn but the opportunity to what you
28:30
talking about you know that college athletes don't get paid right this is
28:33
NBA this is this is NBA isn't it
28:37
no uh so American football and men's
28:40
blah blah blah yeah so those affected our current and former College athletes
28:45
oh it it says here names and likeliness is in EA Games such as Madden and NBA
28:50
live so it's currently awaiting final approval from a US District Judge um
28:55
claims have been made against the NC a ea and Collegiate licensing company the
29:01
nation's leading Collegiate trademark licensing and marketing firm so about
29:04
16% of eligible athletes for the 40 million settlement including EA and the
29:09
CLC have filed claims 24% of the eligible athletes for the $20 million
29:14
settlement against the NCAA have filed
29:18
so I mean it's it's kind of pitiful um
29:21
the athletes will get most will get 1,000 bucks in compensation and some
29:27
will get uh 6,700 or more or at all
29:31
athletes who made a valid claim will receive at least
29:35
$74 and that's that's pretty uh that's
29:41
pretty that's pretty that's pretty shameful the whole situation is really
29:44
gross and really ugly I don't oh Madden
29:48
and some NBA games have college teams or draft boards you can use so so there you
29:52
go uh Nick light to the rescue but the point is that it's
29:58
yeah it's maybe a step in the right direction I mean acknowledging that
30:04
these people should be paid
30:07
for whatever like the fact that they have enough notoriety that someone wants
30:13
to use their picture and include them in a video game should be worth something
30:17
you can't just be like sorry kid you know uh that's that's tough the way that
30:22
worked out for you but hey at least you got a shot to make it to the big time
30:28
I mean I mean you can and you know the
30:32
thing is is like there's all these Arguments for this you know like I I
30:36
like you can make the argument well the kids knew what they were getting themselves into they knew they weren't
30:39
going to be paid you know what [ __ ] because yeah they they knew it but let's
30:45
face it you know people going into the
30:48
system aren't really given a choice even
30:52
if they even if they know it and a lot of the time people that sold themselves
30:55
into slavery knew that they were selling themselves into slavery yeah uh I mean
30:59
and you know getting into like speaking of injustices you know Native Americans
31:04
here and I don't remember what the new politically correct term is so I I
31:07
frankly I don't care First Nations Native Americans whatever it is the
31:10
people who were here already sold their
31:15
land a lot of them not all and so did they did they understand
31:21
the terms of the contract probably not was that taking advantage of a situation
31:25
probably um I'm not I'm not a legal
31:29
court and I'm not really going to get into a whole lot of depth with that but
31:32
the point is just because someone agrees to something doesn't necessarily make it
31:36
right that's my point um so I yeah I
31:40
really think the whole college sports situation is really crappy I I hate that
31:44
a bunch of you know rich people are making a shedload of money on people who
31:49
aren't getting paid to like appearing games on TV when people are buying
31:53
tickets to attend these games it's like it's like yeah you should come be my
31:58
backup singer at you know Britney Spears concert because just the fact that your
32:03
face is there is like good enough you should be pleased for the opportunity to
32:07
be on stage with you know me Britney Spears don't worry about getting paid
32:11
about it it's like you know what Britney you can afford to pay your backup dancers and and and backup dancers do
32:16
get paid I'm not drawing a parallel here necessarily and BR Britney's probably
32:20
doing fine yeah and in terms of that conduct or maybe not I don't know who
32:24
knows I'm not I don't actually pay much attention to Britney Spears is up to
32:28
these days nope nope is she still making music I legitimately don't
32:34
know um should we do a good news topic
32:37
yeah let's do oh well I guess that wasn't it the next one neither neither
32:41
was the next one uh neither is that one
32:45
there we go XCOM 2 creative director says PC gaming is in a golden age all
32:49
right so original article here is from pcgamer.com there you go and that's an
32:54
ad hooray there we go wow I wonder if
32:58
they are getting some money from like Path of Exile of Exile I don't know it's
33:03
I wonder if they could potentially put more ads on the page like if they
33:07
replace this main one right here that
33:11
could work yeah with like Path of Exile yeah I wonder if this highlights thing
33:15
is Path of Exile it makes it really hard to cuz I like to scroll with the arrow
33:20
keys yes and I literally cannot find anywhere on this page where it's not the
33:25
hand how do I click anywhere what's going to
33:29
open if I click this oh no it's okay
33:32
that's weird okay my mouse pointer is broken it's okay so XCOM 2 will be
33:36
exclusive to the PC for a variety of reasons I'm doing on my computer okay
33:41
okay okay okay well we won't give them too much crap about it hey they got to
33:44
make money and it ain't easy as a print publication these days totally totally
33:49
get that um so what do we have to say about
33:52
that uh cool I don't know it's not not that
33:57
surprising to be completely honest with the wave of nextg console stuff like not
34:01
to PC Master is like crazy but this is something that I've talked about before
34:05
when Xbox 360 and PS3 came out those
34:08
were actually rather impressive when they sold it to you they were taking a
34:11
little bit of a loss and there was kind of an understanding that most people knew that like okay the controller
34:16
doesn't cost however much money the controller is not going to cost 60 bucks
34:19
so you buy the console it only comes with one controller you buy one more
34:23
maybe three more controllers in a bunch of games they make their money back but
34:27
at the beginning especially with like PlayStation 3 they were really not
34:30
making money off selling those consoles because they were actually good
34:35
at the time the nextg consoles were like
34:38
they were making a fairly okay amount of money off each console that was sold and
34:42
they were kind of not great and a lot of the better experiences are coming to PC
34:47
and a lot of really competitive stuff is is PC if you think about it look at
34:51
League of Legends and DOTA yeah that's so huge right now the competitive scene
34:55
that giant arena in China um League of Legends has its own
34:59
convention now twitch is mostly PC stuff
35:03
twitch is huge twitch has their own convention now like PC gaming in a I
35:08
heard about that actually yeah yeah um
35:12
yeah PC gaming is rocking it I don't know indie games are huge on
35:15
PC yeah they there's a few very specific
35:19
indie games that are starting to sell on Wii U better than steam which is really
35:22
interesting I mean the funny thing is the big the big argument against PC a
35:26
lot of the time is it's expensive but in
35:29
my mind the PC is the least expensive it
35:33
used to be it did used to be to be fair it used to be very expensive it used to
35:37
be but that's the thing I don't get is that it it hasn't been that way for a
35:42
really long time no because espe with
35:45
game cost and this is this is something that I think a lot of people a lot of
35:49
people kind of forget it's the whole you know what it actually there's an
35:53
interesting parallel to the way that our videos get released now where they come
35:57
out a week early on vessel which is a paid platform and then they come a week
36:02
later on YouTube which is not a paid platform it's an ad supported platform
36:06
so you can watch for free and so people
36:09
kind of are like oh PC gaming is expensive uh you know blah blah blah and
36:14
it's like well hold on a second one of the great things about PC gaming is
36:19
directex is the fact that PC games are
36:24
backwards compatible for years sometimes times even decades backwards and and
36:30
forwards compatibility between a PC and a game is amazing so once you've made an
36:36
investment in a PC you can go back and play an enormous catalog of amazing
36:41
gaming experiences on the absolute freaking cheap like you can whether it's
36:47
yeah whether it's picking up used games on Amazon or in the the bin at like I I
36:52
was at a DVD rental store last week uh
36:56
when I was over on the island okay yeah where I I guess they don't have internet
36:59
there um and so they had like they had like old games on a shelf for sale that
37:05
no one was renting anymore CU does anyone rent games any anyway um actually
37:10
yes so they had they had old games on a shelf and they had some PC ones though
37:14
who yeah so I was just like oh yeah
37:17
that's like really cheap cuz they're like two bucks or whatever um so that's
37:21
a really cool thing about the PC and then the other thing is that I think a lot of people forget that
37:27
you don't have to buy a new computer got
37:30
too scrap trying to spread that message with scrapyard yeah that was like the
37:34
whole point of scrapyard Wars for us is
37:37
like you can build like an awesome gaming computer for $300 combo what was
37:42
it the combo $380 one where we put our two computers together that one was
37:46
actually sick and like actually destroyed a lot of modern benchmarks so
37:52
yeah and another thing is you legit don't have to spend any money at all
37:57
uh what I think DOTA is free pretty sure dota's free TF2 is free League of
38:01
Legends is free if you just get not to toot EA's horn but if you just get an
38:06
Origin account and just idle it they just give you
38:10
games I got Crusader No Remorse on the
38:13
house EA's on the house they just hand out games every once in a while I have
38:17
wanted to play that I actually bought a copy of that game back when my home
38:22
computer was like a 386 or like a
38:25
Pentium 70 old yeah they're super old games but
38:29
honestly sometimes super old games are really good something I can't remember I
38:32
had like anyway I didn't have some kind of something I needed I wasn't super
38:38
techsavvy cuz I was like nine or whatever however old I was at the time I
38:42
bought a copy of that game at London drugs and I never got to play it so I as
38:48
soon as I saw that was like a free offer on Origin I was like yeah I am going to
38:54
play this this time that's awesome and someone brought up those are crappy
38:58
games they kind of are but they're zero and they're a full game that doesn't
39:02
have microtransaction and Team Fortress 2 isn't a crappy game and Team Fortress
39:05
2 is great League of Legends is really fun DOTA is also free I mean we did talk
39:09
last week on Wow about how both of us liked TF2 before it went free to play
39:13
and I agree but but it's free which is
39:17
good for some people I don't know yeah all right so uh I still feel a little
39:21
bit jipped that I bought it and now it's a freeo playay game I know you didn't
39:26
mean this because you probably don't know uh this is something that I
39:30
actually didn't know until recently gy is actually a racial slur what yeah it
39:35
refers to gypsies so I'm sure you used
39:38
it unintentionally and I just wanted to call out we have nothing against gypsies
39:43
here at lonus Media Group at all I had no idea most people don't a lot of those
39:49
like I know the actual term and wow yep wow all right and the I I
39:57
actually I have one of my best friends has heavy Gypsy lineage so I actually
40:03
didn't find out until someone else in my
40:07
high school like humanities class got
40:11
screamed at by the teacher for saying it
40:15
not realizing it and I was like sitting there going like oh I say that a lot
40:21
that could have just as easily been me because I had no idea like and it's one
40:26
of those like my dad was from a different generation like my dad said it
40:30
all the time like you know oh that deal was a so many people say it I know it's
40:36
one of those things where it managed to make itself into a social Norm but
40:40
probably shouldn't and more awareness of it is probably better wow um so yeah
40:45
maybe avoid that one yeah no that's
40:50
cool all right the more you
40:54
know uh so Microsoft is cutting 7800
40:59
jobs from its Hardware division original article here is from The Verge that's
41:02
funny um yeah so they write off 7.6
41:07
billion from the noia deal and announced
41:11
7800 job Cuts so uh CEO didn't want to
41:15
waste any time dropping the company's previous focus on devices and services
41:20
after he was appointed as chief executive last year so that is uh it's you know there
41:27
is something to be said for working for a small company the way we do where
41:32
everyone has a face and a name if you fired 7,800 people that would be
41:37
impossible yeah and like if I was just like yeah we're going to move in a
41:41
different direction we're not going to we're not like okay let's say I did do
41:45
something drastic because you could even look at lonus Media Group as like like a
41:48
micro example of a company like we're a small company but like you know we've
41:53
got video production and then we've got like our own branded content that we
41:57
sell advertising against and then we've got our website and then we've got like
42:03
um I'm sure we do other things okay we mostly just make videos but and have a
42:08
website but the point is if one day I
42:11
was like okay we're not going to do
42:14
we're not going to do like paid video production anymore like uh retail Edge
42:18
for example I don't know how many of you are familiar with retail Edge but I host
42:21
some of the video content on Intel retail Edge it's completely a closed
42:25
ecos system but like you'll see me over there and sometimes it's very similar to
42:29
content that we also release on YouTube but as supported anyway if I was like
42:33
okay we're not going to do that anymore it it would be like one person 60% of
42:38
whose time I would reallocate to like something else or more or if I was like
42:42
okay we're not going to have a website anymore you wouldn't have any trouble
42:45
filling your days with things to do literally nothing would change in day to
42:50
day hours so like I would probably just be like slightly more productive in the
42:55
ways of making but can you imagine if we had 8,000 people working on like you
43:01
know the lonus tech tips game or something like that you were just like
43:06
nah and like the board of directors boots me out and they're like lus Tech
43:11
chips game are you serious who's this
43:14
lonus guy he doesn't even work here
43:18
anymore that's how easily it can happen it's like you know strategic changes to
43:22
the company it doesn't matter how good of a job you were doing isn't that crazy
43:27
that is kind of crazy and like I fully
43:30
understand the bail I fully understand them being like yeah maybe we shouldn't
43:37
be making phones so much like I get
43:41
it but damn that's a lot of people yeah
43:45
so blah blah blah this change will enable us to deliver better products and
43:48
services that our customers love at a more rapid Pace
43:52
um yeah so I mean Acquisitions man tell
43:58
me something yeah if lonus Media Group got acquired which is not happening
44:03
every time I bring this up on W show I feel like I have to say it it's not happening um would you worry about like
44:10
losing your job I would move to Norway you'd move to Norway why Norway I liked
44:15
Norway okay I guess that's a good reason I really don't like the heat Canada is
44:20
way too hot for me right I was in Norway close to winter I
44:27
think it was technically winter but it wasn't like the cold part of winter yet yeah and it was wonderful that said it's
44:32
pretty nice here that time of year too yeah I know but like I don't think it
44:38
gets that hot in Norway no or Iceland
44:41
Iceland would be it's not supposed to it's not supposed to get that hot here
44:45
that's true but this summer has been breaking all kinds of Records we've got
44:48
fires all over the place for the last like 4 days I haven't been able to take
44:53
my baby outside because there's like uh
44:56
forest fires and all this particulate matter in the air and like like we look
45:00
out the window here and it's kind of like it's foggy all the time like it's
45:04
actually it's pretty sketch at the moment Scandinavia there we go
45:09
Scandinavia I would move to to somewhere in Scandinavia I might not be using the
45:13
right word cuz there's a lot of different words for like including
45:16
different like there's the nordics and then there's like
45:19
Scandinavia I think they're both regions of multiple countries in that area the
45:24
point is we love you all great hockey players um Watch Dog backlash started a
45:30
policy change at Ubisoft says CEO so
45:34
original article here is from kit Guru did it because it didn't really seem to
45:39
change much well they haven't done anything that bad recently was it Afters
45:46
I think they were around the same time okay yeah I mean to call it just the
45:50
Watch Dogs debacle or just the unity debacle that was like the digging time
45:55
you know yeah oh yeah yeah yeah okay so it was like there was Wick stroke of the
45:59
shovel it was like Watch Dogs was like summer and then Unity was like winter
46:03
right I you know I frankly don't
46:06
remember having it was like late summer and early winter or late fall and late
46:10
summer or something I don't remember but I think yeah I think you're right they
46:13
were close I don't think they were the exact same time but I think they were close I could totally be wrong let's
46:19
see okay November 11th 2014 was
46:23
Assassin's Creed and then May 27th 2014
46:26
was Watch Dogs so June July August September October November so they were
46:29
seven months apart um oh it's funny that
46:33
they would specifically call out the Watchdogs one cuz they were both pretty
46:38
pretty pretty debac were uh well anyway
46:42
anyway so let's let's let's call that whole time period the Watchdog time yeah
46:47
um sure do you don't do you not think it's fair to I just achieved my move
46:52
goal wow yeah apple apple watches uh I
46:57
was actually sitting writing my review
47:00
and I I was playing with a feature that I hadn't used which is like a workouts
47:05
feature or something like that so you're like I'm going to go vigorously walk and
47:08
I'm going to I want to burn this many calories let me know when I'm done which
47:12
is like I don't know it feels kind of
47:15
backwards couldn't I just like it should just happen yeah couldn't I just go for
47:20
a 30 minute walk and then it could tell me how many calories I burned and then I could be a super smart person and
47:24
extrapolate from there I I don't know anyway the point is while I was sitting
47:28
writing my review I realized that I had reached like 4% of my goal of walking
47:33
and I was literally sitting at a computer there's that problem with Fitbit too like it'll think you're like
47:37
running potentially if you're like shaking a drink this is funny you have
47:42
reached your move goal having an active day has definitely paid off
47:46
lonus screw off like just screw off my
47:50
Apple Watch review is U like I I am
47:54
working really really hard I've actually spent a few hours writing it so far and
47:59
that's that's not including all the time I've spent with the device and any notes
48:03
that I've been making uh I like that's a few hours of just writing like like 1500
48:09
words like it's not even a lot it's just
48:13
rearranging and figuring out what's going to go in and what's going to get
48:17
cut because I've only got like eight minutes to keep the viewers attention in
48:21
in our format and I have spent a long
48:24
time on this trying trying to avoid turning it into a rant and I reread what
48:29
is about a 70% completion script and boy
48:33
is it ever negative this is a super stupid product
48:37
everything that I thought was wrong with it is wrong with it and more that I
48:42
couldn't have possibly predicted like I'm not going to give away everything
48:47
but cuz I want you guys to watch the review but someone in chat was like
48:51
Apple watch equals Ellen pow a
48:56
well at least the apple watch didn't sue its former employer
49:01
oh we might need to be careful leading to you might be under Fire she did
49:06
though it's a fact that's true like what am I supposed to say I don't know I just
49:10
don't want to get flame for defamation or something um well the thing about the
49:16
like the thing about the Apple watch is that it it doesn't even do like I I
49:22
don't know if I mind the home screen I'm considering aad dedicated video about
49:28
why the Apple watch is objectively the worst possible Smartwatch where I just
49:33
take one page of apple.com which is all
49:37
the things the Apple watch does and point out all the problems with every
49:42
single one of those things it's an interesting idea it's pretty brutal like
49:46
one thing I've been playing with lately this is this is going to be a weird conversation that we usually have not on
49:50
camera but I'm go for it is doing things
49:54
in the review instead of just talking like with the structure sensor instead
49:58
of just being like this mode worked pretty well b-roll blah blah blah blah
50:02
blah I was like okay let's scan ter Let's scan a room let's do that kind of
50:05
stuff so it could be cool so I mean it's
50:08
it's it's like here here's a stupid thing this I I still have to figure it
50:12
out well they're still not going to be able to see that so don't don't worry too much about it they'll they'll
50:16
imagine it so there's a photos icon on the home screen which do you love how
50:20
quickly that was brutal do you love how quickly it's like I'm in the middle of
50:26
stuff here like can you not just turn off immediately if you were looking for
50:29
something like there's a lot of icons on the screen if you're looking for something you could have definitely lost
50:33
it's gone wow and it's gone so I'm going to click on that there's one picture on
50:38
here and I don't know why there's only one I don't know why I can't browse the
50:42
rest of my camera roll right like I and I'll I'll figure it out before I publish
50:46
the review but there's another thing like um this is great so I don't expect
50:53
I know that Apple and Google aren't necessarily best of friends so I don't
50:57
expect um you know Google play music to
51:01
necessarily be supported with like a a a
51:04
music control corresponding app on the
51:07
on the watch I don't expect that but you
51:10
know someone like and and I and I know
51:14
that app support for the watch is coming
51:18
but that's not till the fall and apple expects you to buy this today what about
51:22
stuff like Sonos which is like you know
51:25
a very apple-esque type company they're pretty aligned with the apple way why is
51:32
there absolutely no ability to control
51:35
anything other than the iTunes music player not only that but when music is
51:40
playing like it is it is straight up a bad music remote which is one of the big
51:45
things that I use a Smartwatch for and pebble's best for this because of the
51:49
tactile buttons but I can live with
51:52
Google's implementation because the first card on screen with an Android
51:58
Wear device is always music playback
52:01
control so you swipe up swipe right I can do it without looking at it and then
52:05
it's four quadrants of the screen that well you wouldn't have any more than
52:09
four quadrants no matter what but quadrants it's quadrants of the screen
52:12
that are volume up and down and forward and back for tracks okay so it's like
52:17
you can actually do it without looking at it the Apple watch you have to
52:21
actually like navigate to music Control
52:25
are you for
52:28
real I mean all right so something something
52:33
Ubisoft back on topic um says they were
52:38
they were caught out by the complexity of the Watch Dogs project the large open
52:42
City environment multiplayer rating feature and second screen functionality
52:46
it's a real challenge to create those types of games when they come out especially the first iterations they're
52:50
not perfect on everything and it was maybe a bit too much for a first attempt
52:55
um and says that reactions to watch dogs
52:59
have re to the demo Fiasco so that was where they changed the visual quality
53:02
have reshaped the company's approach to showing off pre-release games so hasn't
53:08
necessarily changed the approach to actually developing the games but has
53:12
definitely changed the approach going to not show you something super shiny beforehand which honestly I'm cool with
53:17
that I want a realistic representation that's why when like oh this was a big
53:21
debate like everywhere was when the Fallout 4 footage came out
53:25
like oh this game looks old oh my God and it's like well they didn't over show
53:30
you stuff yep it's probably exactly what it's going to look like it's not out yet
53:34
it could look worse but I kind of doubt it and it looks totally fine so maybe we
53:39
shouldn't hate on them for it so that they don't try to FIB in the future I
53:43
forget I know we talked about this are you a Fallout person Fallout yeah super
53:47
okay yeah definitely all right so uh
53:51
this our original source for the next one is from UB group and it's funny the
53:54
timeing for this is really good because we had actually mentioned last week that
53:58
um that ubisoft's earnings on PC had
54:02
really increased in the last couple of years to the point where it was like
54:07
looking like a legitimate platform that they should probably spend some time
54:10
developing gam a while ago like yeah we don't really make that much money on PC
54:15
yep so in uh in the last quarter uh so
54:18
first quarter of 2015 2016 fiscal year
54:22
PlayStation 4 accounted for 27% of UB
54:25
game sales which is actually really really interesting in itself that a
54:30
NextGen console is has overtaken PC
54:33
that's uh that's pretty incredible PlayStation 4 really did win didn't it
54:39
um that said Microsoft has stuff coming
54:42
they have Cloud stuff coming that looks pretty bananas it's just been coming for
54:46
so long yeah that all of a sudden that
54:49
it's just kind of a mess at this point like the dildo race like the dildo race
54:53
stay tuned for the dildo race what is the dildo race you'll find out um so the
54:57
PlayStation 4 counted for 27% with the PC at 23% The X bone at 11% and the X360
55:04
and PS3 each at 11% wi at 3% I'm happy
55:09
that the they don't really do much for Wii U I wish someone other than Nintendo
55:13
could make a game for a Nintendo consle I mentioned this a little bit earlier
55:16
indie games are getting much bigger on Wii U recently which is pretty cool um
55:22
it's interesting like Great PC is doing awesome that's really good I find it
55:27
interesting that PS4 is doing 27% xbone is only doing
55:31
11 that's huge
55:34
yeah poor Microsoft oh no maybe that's why they're
55:39
trying to bring more stuff to PC cuz Xbox is failing I wonder if XBox was
55:44
doing a lot better if they would actually be pushing in the way that they are I do wonder it seems like they want
55:48
two Focus platforms yeah maybe that's maybe that's what we're seeing or maybe
55:52
we're just seeing the results of a decision that was made a really long time ago I mean it's no secret that a
55:57
moda title takes years to develop so
56:01
that's true there you go uh oh right
56:05
sponsors linda.com with absolutely no
56:08
Segway whatsoever linda.com because things that can take a
56:14
little while but are extremely beneficial learning
56:19
yeah thank you uh okay you should expand your knowledge so for those Lamborghinis
56:24
here wow I'm not even that proud of this
56:28
Lamborghini I'm proud of the knowledge
56:32
that I keep in this box I get a new box
56:37
every day every day I get a new box and
56:40
I read that box and I tell you guys about it and he had to build a computer
56:44
every day but so that he could research things on linda.com I'm much more proud
56:49
of that box than I am of you know this
56:54
t-shirt for that's actually one okay whatever linda.com the place to learn
56:57
online they've got experts they've got video courses they've got an app
57:02
everyone has an app these you can make notes and then go back to those notes you can see your notes on that video
57:06
that you watch you can make custom playlists you can download them and watch them offline you can share them
57:10
with your friends with your other friends on linda.com you could have like
57:13
a linda.com party a team linda.com
57:17
should pay us for come well they do pay us but linda.com should pay us
57:22
specifically for coming up with the idea of Linda party they should have it's
57:27
like Tupperware parties but like learning can you limbo at the Linda
57:30
party while you learn I think you could I think the idea is that everything at a
57:34
Linda party should be a new and learning experience
57:38
yeah uh so anyway the uh the plan
57:41
started only $25 a month head over to linda.com wow for the 10day all you can
57:46
eat free trial uh our other sponsor are
57:50
you done it's ready you're done all right our other sponsor is Squarespace
57:56
and we are putting them on the spot today now those of you who watch W show
58:01
regularly and do actually watch the sponsor spot sometimes there are some
58:06
hidden gems in them there was a gem two weeks ago where we thought Luke's mom's
58:11
site was on Squarespace and it turned out that it wasn't and you guys rushing
58:16
to check out Luke's mom's site uh
58:19
crashed it and that was a big problem so
58:23
Squarespace um cuz Luke told me it was on Squarespace so then when I thought it
58:27
crashed I was like holy crap we crashed a Squarespace site how did this even
58:30
happen uh because we didn't we didn't so
58:33
Squarespace has state-of-the-art tools that make it easy to create your own
58:37
beautiful customizable website that works great on a phone great on a computer and starting at $8 a month has
58:42
scalable plans that will keep your site up so you are not spending your time you
58:48
know figuring out website development
58:51
when actually what you want to do is do completely different things things like
58:55
you know sell your artsy craftsy things that you made or have a great looking
58:59
portfolio well we are going to try again this time it really is on Squarespace
59:05
and boom how do I pronounce this calii bags
59:09
online so it has been ported to Squarespace and auton and auton scr oh
59:16
scroll up there we go so we can go to the
59:19
store we've got like tribal earrings or
59:22
something yeah the finded collection the
59:26
crochet Cape wow your your mom's really getting into the like they make a lot of
59:31
stuff interesting yeah double tassel
59:35
this is like some pretty artsy stuff going on here the Renaissance bag wow
59:39
some of this stuff is not cheap no interesting yeah so is this all like
59:44
handmade it's all oneoff yeah oh that's
59:47
I think why it's expensive I don't understand like fashion or handmade
59:52
things at all my stuff is like aive graphics card they made a lot of them
59:56
and they all look the same right so okay
60:01
we can hey we can sort by Rare finds and
60:04
Oddities oh so like you could find this stuff rare finds okay like sometimes
60:10
they'll find something very interesting and then build something around it or on
60:13
top of it or whatever to make it right more and better okay so we can go to the
60:20
blog and thankfully I remember the first
60:24
time we did this where we legitimately had the whole wow audience bum rush a
60:29
Squarespace site to prove that it wouldn't go down the first time I was
60:34
nervous today I was mostly not nervous I was only a little bit nervous because
60:38
like you never know what can go wrong will go wrong uh but no no the site is
60:43
Snappy and responsive and that is your dog yep I love your dog so this is this
60:49
is Chloe and Chloe is super clever uh
60:52
she can play a game where you go and then she like lays over and pretends
60:57
to be dead my favorite one is if you put a tubw on the floor with the opening up
61:01
she'll put all of her feet in it and kind of sit there if you put it with the opening down she'll walk up and play the
61:06
drums on it if you sit forward on the
61:09
couch she'll come up behind you and scratch your back if you sneeze she'll
61:12
go get you a tissue it's kind of fantastic my mom's a crazy dog
61:16
trainer so yeah your mom does all kinds of things evidently everything from dog
61:21
training to to creating a bags and autron
61:25
a whatever a bags bags company so uh
61:29
there you go huge thanks to uh whoops
61:32
huge thanks to uh Luke for helping his mom she did require a little bit of help
61:36
right a little bit okay and huge thanks to uh to Luke's mom for deciding not to
61:43
use what whatever she was using before I can't remember and getting on
61:46
Squarespace like her son advised her too I have to thank Travis as well Travis
61:51
helped me a bunch there yeah oh man so
61:55
there you go yeah all right so this is
61:58
interesting Apple watch demand has apparently Fallen quote unquote a lot
62:04
are you calling this out in your review or no uh I may talk about it a little
62:08
bit but honestly I think um I think this
62:11
is a bit of a sensationalist headline
62:15
the Apple watch is in a really weird spot where it's a first generation
62:20
product that has a new operating system
62:24
that was announced but isn't coming until the fall and it that is quite
62:29
expensive like this is like an $800 watch which is to me absolutely
62:33
ridiculous that's far more than I have
62:37
ever spent on the Smartwatch 3 that I
62:40
was reviewing was 135 bucks or something
62:43
I think you said it was 180 on or something it was it was under $200 for a
62:48
long time I don't know if it still is but the whole time I was writing the
62:51
review which was like a month it was that price and has literally all the
62:56
same functionality probably better um in for some things yeah um so anyway it
63:01
looks like there's been this is based on us numbers only but it looks like there
63:05
has been a significant decrease in demand uh in the month of June so I
63:12
don't know if I want to read too much also just a little bit how products go
63:16
though and and that is another thing to consider it's it's a little bit just
63:19
kind of how things go it's actually a fairly nichy kind of product
63:24
yeah I mean Apple doesn't want it to be Niche they want it to be like the next
63:29
thing that absolutely everyone has and you know they've done a they've done a
63:33
really good job of some aspects of it I just um oh this is interesting uh sliced
63:39
intelligence says 66% have been the least expensive sport
63:44
model of the sales so far and just 2,000
63:48
units of the Apple watch Edition have been sold in the US honestly I'm
63:53
surprised they sold 2,000 of I was going to say wasn't the Edition like stupid
63:57
expensive I'm not surprised that they didn't sell that many yeah $10,000 yeah
64:01
oh some of them are more really yeah some of them are more it depends on
64:04
which one you want like if you want like the rose gold one with this or the
64:08
yellow gold one with that and they've got different straps and stuff like that
64:12
it's it's it's all it's all kind of ridiculous so tell us this let's straw
64:17
pull the crap out of this straw pole stra I wonder if straw pole knows who we
64:21
are I have no idea so are PE okay what's
64:27
going on with the Apple watch people
64:31
there's a new version of straw coming people are cluing in how do you spell
64:36
cluing oh no no e cluing in that it's
64:41
not that great natural um sales Decay
64:46
after like a a big hype launch um what
64:50
are some other options turnip turnip has to be an option you know what let's just
64:55
let's just go with uh you know natural sales Decay after launch or people are
65:00
cluing in that it's not that great I want to hear what you guys
65:05
think and I am posting that in the twitch chat now whoops that didn't work
65:10
I did not I did not go in that
65:14
thing dildos um okay so let's move on to
65:18
our next topic while people vote on that
65:21
particular one right there AMD has lower there there it's all bad news out of AMD
65:25
right now AMD lowers Revenue expectations because of poor Apu sales
65:29
you know the funny thing is is Intel's like doing the same thing and like it it
65:35
all comes down to that whole the enthusiasts are telling you what they want the enthusiasts are the only ones
65:39
that get like excited about products and buy them for fun and we keep not
65:43
listening to them we keep making apus and we keep making but this one's the
65:48
exact same speed but that's okay because the graphics core is awesome but the
65:52
power consumption is so much much better
65:57
yay so uh poor Apu sales and more more
66:01
bad news out of AMD it just cost them what was it 33 million it just cost them
66:07
33 million to cancel their 20 nanometer
66:12
hold on their 20 nanometer commitments
66:15
with uh tsmc if I recall correctly AMD
66:19
officially cancels 20 nanom chips and uh
66:24
hold on original article here is from kit Guru I can't remember who it's with
66:27
so this is like a big big
66:31
problem as a blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah AMD did
66:35
not reveal when it plans to roll out its first chips to be made using Global foundry's 14 nanometer finfet
66:40
manufacturing technology or tsmc 16 nanometer finfet however it is evident
66:45
that the cancellation of Aur and Nolan means that AMD will have nothing new to
66:48
offer for tablets uh based on up the upcoming Windows 10 in the coming months
66:54
uh blah blah blah blah blah blah so AMD will not as a result of such decision by
67:00
tsmc and blah blah blah etc etc
67:03
etc so yeah tsmc has designed its 20
67:07
nanometer manufacturing technology primarily for mobile system on chips and
67:11
that means AMD will not produce a single chip using the cln 20 so whereas NVIDIA
67:15
will only use it for One S so the tgra X1 so it's it's really interesting the
67:20
way the technology is changing where you have to kind of decide as you're
67:25
developing a new manufacturing process are we optimizing for power consumption
67:30
or are we optimizing for bigger chips or smaller chips or or or whatever else the
67:35
case may be and the fact that AMD no longer owns its own Fabs means that
67:41
someone else's strategic Direction in terms of developing manufacturing
67:45
process um will affect AMD's ability to
67:49
bring certain products to Market I'm just trying to find the uh
67:53
the quote real men have
67:56
Fabs um who said this I totally remember
67:59
this someone Sanders III I can't it was one of AMD's
68:04
uh hold on yep Jerry Sanders III said real men
68:11
have Fabs um and that that didn't work for
68:17
AMD they just couldn't handle the financial burden of continuing to
68:21
develop new manufacturing processes and they are now just kind of at the mercy
68:25
of outside the whole twitch chat is saying real men have fire PES real men
68:29
have fire PES real firemen have fire Poes some some except the ones that
68:34
don't because my brother's Hall does not have
68:38
one even for firefighters like a fire pole is not necessarily faster what if
68:43
you just had a single story
68:48
building and you didn't have to go downstairs or pools at all or just like
68:54
optimize your building layout a little bit all right so IBM has
69:01
unveiled the world's first 7 nanometer
69:05
chip with a silicon germanium Channel and euv lithography IBM crosses the 10
69:13
nanometer barrier this is some Next Level stuff right actually insane
69:18
because For the First Time in as long as
69:22
I can sort of conven remember Intel is not completely alone
69:28
out in front leading the charge I thought you going to say uh single digit
69:31
nanometer well that that's definitely the first time
69:35
ever so yeah we have no idea on costs we
69:40
have no idea on timelines I don't even
69:43
care they did it they did it that's super cool so they were working with
69:46
global foundaries remember this is the spin-off from AMD now separate company
69:51
they worked with Samsung State University of New York and various equipment suppliers and produce the
69:56
first 7 nanometer chip with functional transistors commercial chips remain at
70:01
least two years away which is probably
70:04
optimistic this I'm sure like 99% sure
70:08
this won't happen cuz IBM is like super not a consumer facing company but would
70:13
it be interesting in like 6 years from now if you were installing IBM CPUs in
70:17
computers I I I I don't see it you know
70:21
I don't see CU they're not a consumer facing I don't think they yeah I don't think they even want I don't think they
70:26
want to either they spun off their their their their chip manufacturing to Global
70:31
foundaries yeah like they they just seem to want no part of it other than they
70:35
just want to do industrial Enterprise stuff which like apparently they're
70:40
doing very well with that so sure yeah so uh blah blah blah it's still
70:45
important since it's the first commercial yeah okay so it doesn't matter that we're not going to see chips
70:49
based on it for quite a while cuz it's it's the first commercially viable sub
70:53
10 NM fin fet logic chip uh using silicon germanium as a channel material
70:58
rather than just silicon so silicon's days have been numbered for a long time
71:02
it looks like they're officially
71:06
over um due to the incredibly tight stacking so this is a 30 nmet transistor
71:11
pitch IBM claims a surface area reduction of close to 50% over today's
71:17
10 nmet processes now this is something that most people don't know not all X
71:24
nanometer whether we're talking about 20 nanometer or 34 nanometer or whatever
71:28
not all manufacturing processes at each
71:32
node are created equal there are other
71:35
factors at play here that can affect the density of the chip the efficiency of
71:38
the transistors the heat output and all those kinds of things so it's not enough
71:44
to just create a 7 nanometer chip that doesn't necessarily mean you're going to
71:48
get a 50% size reduction you have to actually work on other things as well so
71:54
higher electron Mobility is part of what makes silicon geranium more suitable
71:57
than silicon for smaller transistors and I mean a lot of this is like super
72:02
technical details that might not have too much relevance to most of our viewers but the point
72:07
is it's not over the race to smaller and
72:11
more efficient and more powerful is not over for at least a couple of years we
72:16
are going to see significant improvements over the next couple of years because the technology barriers
72:21
continue to be broken down thank IBM and Global foundies and all those folks
72:26
super awesome when I read this in the in the
72:31
thing I was like oh this is going to be a Rimer mail site and it's going to be
72:35
crap and there's going to be no actual information it's going to be some dude
72:38
like plotting a graph and being like they probably are doing this right now
72:43
and then it wasn't and that's super
72:46
fantastic Microsoft presents Groove music streaming service so we'll go
72:51
ahead and uh we'll pull this off of
72:54
microsoft.com slgr dmusic that seems
72:58
like as good a primary source as you can have for something H the Apple watch
73:01
says it's time to stand up so it's funny it goes from telling me that I'm
73:05
exercising you're doing a great job lonus good job moving today yeah to
73:09
telling me that I need to stand up and move a little for one minute you're not
73:12
doing so much lonus you need to stand up more what are you doing so basically
73:17
this I could be your watch this is just a hey lonus you have an email you like
73:22
to change a song okay
73:25
Boop that would actually person that would be kind of a funny sketch you know
73:30
it's like the the smart the smart watch
73:34
it's like you know what everything my SmartWatch does I could do just as
73:38
easily with a butler that's why smartw watches are
73:42
stupid that is why Apple can't sell
73:46
$10,000 smart watches it's cuz they just want because anyone who can afford a
73:50
$10,000 watch could just hire a freaking
73:54
Butler to change a song Hey Siri actually sir my name is
74:02
Arthur hey Siri you're Siri if I tell
74:05
you to be Siri you go for a run and he has to like
74:08
run beside you and if you're like next song you just like take take your phone
74:12
out of your pocket and like Boop put it back in no no he should be holding no no
74:16
you have a blueooth link to his phone so he stops for a minute changes the song
74:22
and then has to kind of Sprint to CCH up I kind of wish we made this video oh
74:27
we can we still could yeah we still could Smartwatch Smartwatch Butler
74:32
Edition yeah H fantastic okay uh okay so
74:39
Luke sending off an email yeah I'm going
74:43
I'm going to do I really want to do this Smartwatch or like like Apple
74:49
watch Butler I'm gonna cover something real quick while you're doing that that
74:53
probably most people watching this know already Ellen pow has resigned from her
74:57
former role as the interim CEO of Reddit
75:00
she's been replaced with one of the co-founders actually Steve Huffman um
75:05
founder and original Reddit CEO actually he's returning uh they were saying that
75:10
he's like The Benchmark of a CEO that they were looking for and they were
75:14
looking around and then he was available so they got the Benchmark blah blah blah
75:17
there was a lot of bragging stuff going on and that's cool um apparently it was
75:21
a mutual de ision uh blah blah blah blah
75:25
blah basically pow and the rest of the chair
75:30
people were in a non- agreeance about uh
75:35
Reddit user growth and all this kind of stuff so they split
75:40
ways so yeah yeah even in her leaving
75:43
the company I don't think all of the hatred was actually
75:47
recognized
75:51
wrecked yep okay so right groove groove
75:55
music service let's go back to that um so basically it's just a rebranding of
75:59
Xbox music which is a rebranding of Zoom music I kind of wish they' just gone
76:03
back to zoom I liked Zoom yeah app uh yeah yeah it was awesome I
76:10
loved it there was like a few minor things that I would have liked to change
76:13
that's it like I I thought it was just the biggest like Butthead move ever to
76:17
call it Xbox yeah like I I guess the
76:20
Xbox is entertainment no Xbox is games
76:24
yeah you've worked so hard to make Xbox games why don't you just let it be games
76:28
and we can just call music Zoom or apparently um groove
76:34
groove like just keep naming it different things hot Mill no Outlook
76:40
you're an Explorer no I don't actually know what it is
76:43
anymore she just stuck in Project SP it is a new yeah I like Spartan yeah I
76:48
can't remember what it's called anymore either Spartan was cool you know the
76:51
thing about the the whole the whole rebranding thing is that particularly
76:56
the Outlook one really drives me crazy and like I understand why uh why sky
77:02
drive changed to one drive was actually like a trademark thing had to do that
77:06
why what was it Metro tiles no yeah Metro tiles Metro tiles changeed to
77:11
Modern UI or Metro UI um in this case it
77:14
just seems kind of ridiculous and in the case of the Outlook one it just caused
77:17
confusion because you have a program called Outlook and then you have like a
77:22
web mail interface face that literally has nothing to do with that program
77:27
except that you could if you set it up have this mail show up in that program
77:31
in sync but you could also have a different service and or a different
77:36
client so that was just really confusing
77:40
and groove music is just like the word
77:43
Groove did anything good ever have
77:47
groovy in the name groovy baby yeah Austin pow was kind of a good movie I
77:53
can't even do it right I mean okay straw
77:57
pole can you think of anything good that
78:00
was called groove or groovy other than anything that Austin
78:04
Powers ever defined as groovy or good like like I'm talking like the official
78:09
name like it has to be like like a company or a product or something now I
78:14
need to Google this and get examples of things called
78:17
Groove Google's just going to be like a Groove is a thing in a thing
78:23
no that's not what I'm talking about Groove H Groove is a sense of propulsive
78:27
rhythmic feel or sense that's actually the first definition I'm surprised
78:31
actually did you type it with a capital
78:35
no oh interesting so there's already
78:38
something called Gro all right so you guys let us know is Groove just a stupid
78:43
name for anything really that's
78:47
funny anything good groovy so we got turnup winning we've got yes coming in
78:52
second and we've got most people disagree with me most people
78:56
disagree with me so there you go most people do not agree with lonus today and
79:00
that's fine lonus can accept that groove shark groove shark groove shark what
79:06
wasn't that something else groove shark groove shark groove
79:12
shark groove shark a new groove shark is
79:16
online in streaming okay so it was a what is this web-based music streaming
79:22
service that's really similar to something called
79:26
Groove oh dear music fans today we are shutting down groov shark there you go
79:31
so shutdown in 2015 so that timing was
79:35
good yep for Microsoft if they really
79:39
really really really wanted to use the word Groove in their online music
79:43
streaming service name uh what can we
79:46
say about it so blah blah blah renaming Xbox music was originally part of the
79:50
zoom music management software though they disted set after the failure they
79:53
experienced with the zoom device changed over to Xbox music with the relase of Windows 8 um didn't get much traction
79:59
since it only offered game music was only available on the Xbox 360 didn't
80:03
work on smartphones all uh now being renamed to groove music with the same
80:06
pricing model $9.99 a month or $100 a year no info on whether they will
80:11
release a family plan and currently an app within Windows 10 no new features to
80:15
announce of as of yet aside from the ability to play music uploaded to one
80:19
drive which is you're a you're a Google Music person I am what do you think what
80:24
do I think I think it's more expensive than Google music with absolutely
80:27
nothing compelling about it to make me want to switch to
80:31
it cool in line with Microsoft's new
80:34
direction of service as a service company yeah that's fine I guess it's
80:39
just like you know Apple at least did something and it's funny because we gave
80:43
Apple crap about not really innovating at least they've got like their thing
80:47
about artists engaging with fans because
80:50
Apple's a social network now or something uh but at least they had
80:54
something Microsoft is literally taking something that wasn't successful calling
80:58
it Groove and then like now they're
81:02
expecting Android and iOS versions sometime soon after Windows 10 which is
81:07
also soon so I don't even know why they're talking about it at all right
81:11
now they should just be avoiding talking about it and they super miss the boat
81:15
like everybody else is already doing very well well remember
81:20
too like even if you missed the boat and you capture 3% of the online music
81:25
streaming service Revenue it's still going to be it's still going to be you
81:29
know a positive thing yeah um is it 6 o'
81:33
already it 6 o'cl already wow what have we even talked about on the we honestly
81:37
covered like most of the dog we you know the funny thing is is there wasn't even
81:40
really that much no um and you know I've noticed that
81:45
about the WAN Show recently we've just it's just kind of been whatever well it
81:49
slows down during this time of the year so we got to fill it in a little bit more okay when Japan and us not the
81:56
actual countries companies within the countries are going to be dueling giant
82:02
robots did you hear about this yes yeah
82:06
this should have been not in Rapid Fire yeah this is like kind of awesome in
82:10
fact the fastest possible that I filmed today I I referenced that I actually
82:14
wasted like 30 seconds of a fastest possible just talking about that robot
82:18
battle that's coming cuz I think it's awesome yeah cuz fast as possible is
82:21
only like three and a half to 4 minutes of actual content so it's like an eighth
82:25
of the video I think it's interesting though that like the Japan robot looks
82:28
like it would beat the crapo or something in a Mele contest probably
82:32
because Japan likes melee and katanas and stuff then the American ones like
82:37
guns because America really likes guns
82:40
and the Japanese guys were like let's do melee I'm like oh I realized that would
82:46
be way cooler to watch but like yeah I also get why you're asking that melee is
82:50
going to be way cooler to watch I'm stoked for that but
82:53
like the Americans might lose now apparently people prefer the less
82:57
focused WAN Show lately where we just are apparently just talking about
83:02
whatever so there you go that's a thing um speaking of just talking about
83:05
whatever I think the show is pretty much over but I have something pretty
83:10
exciting um edzel has made some very
83:13
interesting Headway on the new workflow
83:16
for our video production so I will be installing a couple of virtualized
83:21
instance of Windows 8 we may not even need a
83:25
server OS anymore okay of Windows 8 on
83:28
the uh 36 core server and seeing if we
83:32
might have a workflow that involves multiple instances of Adobe Media
83:36
encoder rather than a $55,000 piece of software and we may be able to achieve
83:40
the same performance and in the case of Adobe Premiere because a big problem
83:45
with the footage that we have now is it's really hard to edit with because it
83:49
skips around as you scrub through the timeline like you you'll see like freeze
83:52
frames here and there as you're as you're scrubbing through well we're
83:56
going to be using a different codec and um this new workflow that we're working
84:01
on gives us better performance in Premiere faster overall video export
84:06
times and could potentially cost us actually very little so I'm excited yeah
84:11
I'm excited to check that out that's cool and I'm excited for all 6,500 of
84:15
you I think we actually peaked a little bit higher than that all 6,500 of you
84:19
that tuned into to the W show today thank you all very much and we will see
