oh okay my friends and also my enemies
0:06
there's nothing i can do to prevent you guys from tuning in yeah that's true
0:11
you could prevent them from talking in the chat i can make them watch me eat because i
0:15
haven't had a chance to have lunch today a lot of people are going to complain about that i know people don't like it
0:20
when you eat which is why i'm only going to take one bite so that i can generate the complaints
0:25
but i'm not actually being that terrible of a person oh so okay can you explain
0:29
to me why it's terrible though i've actually never understood because
0:33
okay yeah but if you avoid that
0:38
you just made it so much worse
0:42
so much incredibly worth it oh boy all right yeah we got a great show for you
0:46
guys today my chrome's frozen because it's a piece of garbage and uh otherwise
0:50
i would tell you what uh what we have for you oh there was a long
0:54
lost starcraft gold source code that was
0:57
found apparently this source code disk was lost so they had to start on
1:01
starcraft from scratch and the reward that the guy got for finding it is like
1:06
junk tier yeah i know right a lot of the
1:10
topics are like handsomely rewarded i'm like not at all wow yeah more like got
1:15
fisted yeah a little bit not cool okay
1:19
speaking about getting fisted you could come to ltx 2017 which is a Linus tech
1:25
tips meetup that we are hosting locally which should be super fun
1:31
if you enjoy certain matters so we'll talk more about that later uh we're
1:35
gonna address the LTT thousand dollar build guide that
1:40
some of you are feeling kind of fisted about wow this is
1:45
becoming a bit of a common theme yeah and um finally AMD fisting their
1:50
customers yes by making money from their drivers
1:56
yeah all right so we'll get to that and more at 11.
2:03
there's a little asterisk after the 11 and it's like 11 is
2:07
whatever time you are watching yeah that's right
2:10
but like later than that
2:14
because we haven't started yet
2:17
oh okay who are the sponsors today
2:25
live and using the code now instead of waiting
2:30
for the integration and backblaze we have a new sponsor today
2:35
that's fun yes my friends we do all right so let's go ahead and go back to
2:40
us and i'm gonna try and wow what the heck my chrome is so broken
2:48
what am i supposed to do uh i can post the topics in the chat you
2:53
can get the links from the chat wow i guess that doesn't
2:57
wow what the crap on firefox do it no
3:02
it's not
3:06
i would if it was going to be better
3:10
but it won't be oh that's just my personal stuff
3:15
don't worry about it he saw my uh my secret tab of
3:20
quad socket motherboards that i like to look at late at night
3:28
um is it working now are you good yeah i think i've closed enough of enough of my
3:33
tabs you know so the the gram 14 doesn't
3:36
have a 16 oh gram 14 doesn't have a 16 gig skew
3:40
available even though it just has a sodium slot so what i was planning to do
3:44
was take the gram 15 and the gram 14 swap the sodims
3:48
and then kind of you know whistle and walk away kind of thing yeah um because
3:52
i really like the 14. i don't need the number pad and i i find the screens big
3:56
enough this is what i've been using as my daily driver lately actually
4:00
um but i've just been lazy what what is
4:03
this what oh it says i'm angry about video games oh okay okay okay i thought you i
4:08
thought it was a lead-in to no it's not not having enough RAM for all my
4:14
okay all right all right
4:17
what do we want to start with which which which is the most important
4:22
fisting or we can talk about AMD so people are like wow that's crazy and
4:27
then we can talk about ltx and so people won't be as upset about about us
4:31
screwing them yeah but i love it okay so
4:35
you gotta you gotta take this post with a grain of salt because
4:39
zemul bless his or her heart i don't know if zemul is a dude or a gal um but
4:44
gmail is not probably the world's most objective
4:50
observer when it comes to AMD and Intel
4:54
um it's kind of like expecting good bites on the forum to say something
4:59
anti-microscopic yeah yeah we're not calling you guys fanboys
5:05
because we don't know if you're male
5:11
we never have to worry about microsoft news showing up on the forum though
5:14
because it will always be there any good bites will make sure that it is there
5:19
that's right yeah so we appreciate actually all the anti-mike are all the
5:24
anti-AMD and pro Intel news and pro microsoft news that we can rest assured
5:30
we'll make it into the tech news section of the forum
5:33
all right so the original article here is actually from tech powerup and in a
5:39
nutshell what it appears
5:42
as though AMD is doing in that when you install their 17.4.4
5:48
driver it appears that
5:52
with a bitly so hold on we did talk about this last week yeah so there's a
5:56
quake champion you did yes i thought james told you that he came
6:00
downstairs and asked me he's like did you talk about this last week and i was
6:03
like yes and he was like okay because Linus wants it in the thing and i was
6:06
like
6:10
we totally why do we even why do you know what forget it no i quit
6:14
no i'm not doing this podcast anymore all right well if you want to see Linus
6:19
in person so that he can go okay you know what i quit in person
6:23
but no i want to talk i want to talk about this okay i want to talk about
6:26
this because because i'm mad
6:29
oh this is dumb yeah i think they stopped it oh they did i'm pretty sure
6:35
okay then i'm over it all right fine let's talk about
6:38
something else i'm not 100 sure but i'm i am pretty sure there's like almost no
6:42
notes so but i if i remember from last week they were like oh wow we didn't realize how
6:48
much you guys would care if we were ridiculously annoying and put bloatware
6:51
on your computer right and then they pulled it i think that's what happened all right
6:56
let's talk about ltx so basically if you
7:00
were thinking to yourself gee these guys aren't annoying enough over
7:05
the internet i would need to be annoyed in person and
7:08
you need you need to have taran explain about macros and hotkeys in person
7:14
than this is the event for you are we
7:18
doing the dunk tank thing i have no idea
7:22
so basically it's kind of this half baked
7:25
um oh wow sort of con really selling it right now well okay okay okay okay okay
7:30
do you want me to okay so do you want me to talk about the half-baked stuff first or the cool stuff first
7:36
i mean let's get the half-baked out of the way okay we started so it's
7:39
half-baked in the sense that it's two months away and we haven't actually
7:44
locked down a single sponsor for the event yet okay
7:47
um because the idea behind it we're actually rent so so there's there's not
7:52
half-baked stuff we are actually renting an arena
7:56
so and as far as i've heard yep there will
8:00
be a small sized kiddie pool without
8:04
anything in it and a ball pit so we'll be at least that good there
8:08
will be at least that okay and it'll be in an arena yeah some people will
8:12
recognize that um but like the arena is really expensive
8:15
so in addition to admission and we actually can't even fit that many people
8:20
um we're limited to somewhere in the neighborhood of like yeah there you go
8:24
so just over a thousand people um because we can't really use because
8:29
it's in like a stadium so we can't really use any of the
8:32
seating because there's nothing that you would really sit there and watch yeah
8:35
yeah like me like maybe we could have a few rows out if people just want to go
8:38
sit down but like that's not the idea and there's but and there's also going
8:41
to be like like potentially maybe
8:44
like a lounge that you could do that okay yeah yeah yeah um but but basically
8:49
it would be like the size of a hockey rink down at the bottom of what is
8:53
actually a hockey rink if this was so
8:56
if it's not ready and we don't have sponsors and stuff yet yeah
9:00
why wouldn't we have just pushed it out um because we want to do it in the
9:04
summer and also if we didn't set a deadline
9:08
if we didn't set a deadline we'd just never do it that's also fair yeah so we
9:12
decided to set a deadline are we doing this
9:15
that will almost definitely happen so what is so so the the question burning
9:21
in everyone's minds is probably what is a tech carnival
9:25
yeah it's a cross between a con
9:29
like a uh convention i was thinking i had conference popping into my head for some
9:34
reason it was not a conference Colton run says so it's a combination between a
9:39
convention oh yeah we also have meet up in there so
9:42
to see meet up it's a convention it's a meet-up
9:46
it's a carnival yeah so it's the vision
9:49
is this we wanted to do something that's a little bit different
9:53
and so i kind of went you know what was fun when i was a kid
9:56
carnivals the school carnival the fundraiser carnival the school okay yeah
10:01
those actually yeah they were it would be like stupid like gambling games but
10:06
not for actual money you just get like so we do whatever those but themed to
10:10
computer stuff so the idea is that every manufacturer
10:14
who wants to partner with us to sponsor a booth they don't actually have to pay
10:18
a ton of money like in the grand scheme of things compared to what they would be
10:21
accustomed to for a convention like booth space because the booths aren't
10:25
going to be that like amazing or anything they're just going to be
10:29
centered around these carnival ideas so
10:33
some of the ideas we have is we want some kind of a gaming manufacturer to
10:36
come in and equip ed and a competitor of
10:41
who presumably would wait in line to take
10:44
him on and you have to beat at it cs go yeah
10:47
and there might be some kind of a leader it's gonna be hard he's good or it would enter you into some kind of a draw in
10:52
order to have a chance to win something really cool that would be provided by that manufacturer
10:57
other ideas include things like we want a case guy to come in and with how many
11:01
cool people there are in the case industry we're pretty sure this is not
11:04
going to be a problem but we want a case guy to come in and sponsor the case toss
11:09
so again it would be like a leaderboard type thing and we take maybe the top
11:13
five people throughout the course of the day obviously it's the kind of thing that
11:16
would be pretty funny to watch is people taking computer cases and basically shot
11:22
putting them as far as they can yeah so the idea is just good kind of pure fun
11:27
goofing around maybe there'll also be some demos and
11:31
some cool tech like that case manufacturer might bring a couple to not
11:34
throw so you could maybe look at their latest cases maybe yeah um and then the
11:39
LMG staff all of us i believe we've called like an
11:43
all hands on deck thing one that's not gonna make it well the one that doesn't
11:47
work here oh oh um i don't know so also he might
11:51
okay so most Linus media group staff will be there so if you wanted to i mean
11:56
honestly one of the ideas for a booth that i was honestly thinking of was
12:01
taren tutoring people in premiere
12:05
i could totally like if i went to a convention i would definitely stop by
12:08
there i don't know if i'd stay there the whole time because i'd be like wow i want to go do other things eventually
12:13
but like yeah but like
12:16
but like if you could do like like a like a three-hour thing
12:21
or and like take questions every like half an hour or something or one idea i
12:25
had was he could actually be editing an LTT video throughout the day and you
12:28
could just ask questions and you could just ask questions and we wouldn't expect him to necessarily even finish it
12:32
that day because he'd be interrupted constantly yeah but that was another
12:35
thing that i thought might be kind of like a cool behind the scenes thing that
12:38
would otherwise be impossible to experience yeah so i would i would like that i think
12:42
that's cool that's the tech carnival
12:46
it's 30 bucks for a pass and then 75 if
12:50
you want a special edition lanyard a t-shirt and
12:54
a six-month Floatplane club membership for one week of early access oh i don't
12:59
have that screen shared um oh those are communities oh these are
13:02
canadian dollars um so yeah so that's basically like 22 us
13:08
dollars or something like that and then like 60 bucks 60 bucks u.s um and that's
13:13
actually a pretty good deal if you were gonna get Floatplane anyway because it's three bucks a month times six is
13:18
eighteen dollars a t-shirt i don't know what's that worth twenty bucks anyway we
13:22
we think the uh the big package
13:26
we think the big package is kind of the one to go for so there you go that's the explanation
13:30
um i'm gonna go look at twitch chat i'm like cringing because i'm pretty sure
13:35
hey Colton have we even sold any tickets yet yeah
13:39
Colton we have where'd he go oh he went upstairs but we have sold
13:43
tickets oh we have i know roughly how many but i don't know if we want to say
13:46
that or not sure yeah why not about 100 oh really yeah when i don't know oh
13:51
within the time the video went up and now oh cause we posted oh we posted it
13:55
on social and uh
13:58
yeah uh ticket sales how are we doing is anyone coming yeah there's like 100 150
14:04
150 now yeah oh so people are coming then yeah yeah well
14:09
how many of the really big one have we sold the the 500 vip experience
14:14
we might be getting trolled but oh we think we're getting trolled on that one
14:19
okay okay that's cool go figure so every time
14:23
that we've done one of these things like with the first blood campaign way back in the day and with the forum badges
14:28
that were like custom form badges um we've always had a
14:33
every single time exactly 500 tier that was just like ridiculous we didn't
14:37
really the first time especially we really didn't expect anyone to buy it
14:41
and for some reason someone does
14:44
every time every time so we were like okay sure this time though we were
14:48
trying to come up with something that's a little bit cooler than like um
14:51
i mean the custom badge is actually like
14:54
like that's pretty badass and you can't get them anymore so people
14:58
that do happen to have them are like they're the only ones who can get them so that's all like cool but we were
15:02
thinking if you're gonna be all the way out here uh this time that package
15:06
includes a limo ride to the office and uh and a one-on-one well one on 10 i
15:11
guess depending how many people get it there's maximum a tour yeah maximum 10.
15:15
yeah so that i think that's pretty nifty
15:19
i don't know i mean you work here every day i'm sure you wouldn't pay for it but you know i wouldn't have paid for it
15:22
anyways because i'm really cheap it's yeah i might get the one with the shirt
15:28
because i like commemorative shirts i have a few packs shirts you get a lanyard too yeah all right
15:34
anyway you know what i i'd i mean i
15:37
i never know what's going on around here anymore like i don't even know how to
15:41
check how many tickets are sold but ltx
15:45
good idea or bad idea
15:49
okay so we're going full animaniacs here okay those are the only options wow are
15:54
we abandoning turnip it's been a long time we're abandoning
15:57
turnip okay yeah i'm over it r.i.p turnip rip turn it turn up yeah turn
16:02
up's not funny anymore now that there's one in the uh sorry yeah i forgot what i
16:05
was talking about yeah okay so let's go ahead get those results up and move on
16:09
to our next news topic
16:14
okay AMD's stock price falls more than
16:19
20 in a single day you know you know how close i was to investing in AMD
16:24
when i saw how good ryzen was going to be well maybe now you should well no
16:29
because i was worried about a couple things so number one
16:33
is i wasn't sure if that's insider information yeah i don't know yeah
16:37
because it's under embargo so even though it's not like
16:42
that much of a secret there were like 400 people in the room with me
16:46
i'm not sure if that's still considered insider so i guess so if there's an nda
16:51
probably sketchy so but but what i could do is i could wait till the embargo is
16:56
lifted then it's common knowledge and then i
16:59
could just with superhuman speed i could i could buy AMD stock like the second so
17:03
so i could skirt around that but the other concern was that i've avoided
17:08
owning shares in any tech company
17:12
this whole time the entire time that since we've been independent yeah so i
17:16
did buy shares in NVIDIA once and i held them for a couple of months actually
17:20
made like a pretty good chunk of money but that wasn't based on a significant
17:24
tip or anything it was just based on kind of like the ebb and flow and i was
17:27
like yeah i really couldn't go any lower and then i did okay and i got out
17:31
because it stresses me out yeah and then i made a few bucks on ocz back when they
17:36
were like going gangbusters and i was like okay
17:39
i'll go in for and i was in for like three weeks
17:42
that's it i that's all i've ever gotten involved
17:47
in but the thing is like i i worry
17:51
that even if i disclosed it the number of people who think that i am
17:56
that i can be that i can be bought and that i can be biased by a graphics card
18:01
i mean imagine what they would think if i owned shares in the company the one
18:05
thing that i was thinking was that i could get around it by buying
18:10
everything
18:13
and just hopefully the tech industry just goes up yes yeah so if i'm just
18:18
betting on tech but then then okay you'd get the tinfoil
18:22
hats coming in there he's just talking about how amazing tech
18:25
is because it makes some money if the tech industry grows
18:29
so i've just been like you know what uh as as far as as far as high profile
18:34
companies go anyway i'm just not going to get involved but that doesn't mean
18:38
that i might not make some kind of investment in a tech company and that's
18:42
actually something that would be like a private thing that i might
18:46
might be closing soon so i would definitely be talking to you guys about
18:50
anyway shares of AMD plunged on tuesday
18:53
following a first quarter report that failed to justify the stocks 300 gain
18:58
last year whoops uh AMD reported strong results
19:02
that were in line with expectations but uh
19:06
like that's the thing is like they still lost money like what were
19:10
people expecting were they expecting AMD to go from losing what was it like 73
19:14
million in the last quarter last q one and then
19:17
they lost 29 million this time which is like a lot
19:22
better but were you expecting them to go from losing 73 million to being profitable
19:26
um but only losing
19:31
29 million dollars is still insane
19:36
well yes like oh yeah um
19:40
so there's still hope though ryzen processors had only been shipping
19:45
for one month of the quarter and vega is also slated for release sometime in q2.
19:51
naples that's where we might actually see some significant improvements if
19:57
they managed to win some big bids with naples and they managed to
20:02
uh get some design wins and like super computers or whatever the case may be
20:07
that could be a big deal and then ryzen 3 processors are also
20:12
slated for the second half of the year which could help boost up volumes
20:15
significantly because value chips that is where you are going
20:19
to be shifting units speaking of super computers i'm doing an unboxing
20:25
of a super computer next week adoring i
20:29
don't i don't know what to call it but basically this place is bananas what's
20:34
up that thing am i going not that one we're going to that one okay so we're also trying this
20:39
isn't confirmed yet they've expressed interest and they're like yeah yeah
20:43
let's do it and then like it's the all this the whole yes do it radio silence
20:47
yeah yeah but like they're into it um
20:50
but luke and i wanna go tour
20:54
um it turns out that d-wave the quantum
20:57
computer maker the the quantum computer manufacturer is based out of burnaby
21:03
british columbia yeah they're like not even a remotely far drive away no it's
21:07
like 30 minutes like i used to live there yeah um so so we've talked to them
21:12
about doing like a hands-on yeah with a quantum computer that would be pretty
21:16
cool that would be really exciting it would be dope as the kids say ah yes
21:22
dank even dank no i thought dank is bad
21:25
aren't dank memes like outdated memes no
21:28
dank memes are like super good memes
21:32
dope and dank are both good and face palm is still face pump's still
21:37
cool okay yeah so face bomb and
21:40
so much hate so much hate is getting a little old
21:43
yeah i know i know but i can say shake my head so smh is
21:47
still okay i just have to think it doesn't mean so much hate yeah
21:50
got it no problem i'm on this i'm trying to i'm trying to keep on top of it i've
21:54
got the star wars memes prequel memes i'm on top of that
22:00
good job oh you're officially the worst sidekick
22:04
ever most of them are like hello there
22:07
kenobi from grievous don't worry about it it's
22:10
fine it's fine fine fine all right the red ARM epidemic i sent out the okay i'm
22:15
gonna i'm gonna off shoot for a second here sure i sent out the like emails to
22:19
the people that were graded very highly for their resumes and stuff for the full
22:23
playing club applications and
22:26
you've got to be kidding i was reading a comment on your call for
22:31
coder's video that said that this platform is a
22:36
disaster waiting to happen and no one would be stupid enough to apply oh
22:40
there was a lot of those um one people applied you've got to be kidding me a
22:44
lot of people are fine that a huge amount of people applied it took me a
22:48
really long time to go through all their resumes um there's a lot of misconceptions as to
22:52
like how we were building the platform a lot of people think that we're doing literally every single thing in node
22:58
which is like extremely untrue i got people sending me like entire essays on
23:02
how we shouldn't be transcoding video with node and i'm like
23:08
we actually already have that part working don't know where you got that
23:11
from we're not doing that i don't i don't know uh but yeah there's a lot of
23:16
applicants a lot of really good apps there's also a lot of people telling us that we're crazy to be trying
23:21
to build okay hold on hold on hold on hold on
23:24
to be trying to build this project with one developer
23:28
yeah and i loved that you were getting labeled idea guy
23:32
yeah what's it called is called an idea man right where you have where you have like the
23:37
idea for the next great social media platform
23:41
only you don't know any coding okay so two things number one we don't say
23:46
anywhere in the video we're hiring one person we already have number two we
23:49
don't say anywhere in the video that we don't already have people yes and number
23:53
three he knows how to go a little bit i'm not i'm not as good as the people
23:57
i'm trying to hire that has been made abundantly clear um because some of you
24:00
are extremely good um but i i can do i
24:04
can do something there's more than me let's put it that way yeah i've been taking like refresher courses and stuff
24:08
i'm not going to be the boss guy that doesn't know how to code um
24:14
i still i get i get a little embarrassed by boiler sometimes when he's like okay
24:19
this is how this works and we're just like oh geez um but yeah i'm i'm gonna
24:23
be taking more refresher courses and stuff we have mr boiler cat boiler on the forums i'm
24:28
gonna call him mr boiler because catwaller is like a little awful a
24:31
little bit weird um he's a full-time employee has been for a while now he's
24:35
been working on the project for like a little bit more than six months
24:40
so it's been some work going on there yeah that's another thing you guys uh
24:44
you you guys you guys won't be able to launch this for a year and a half well
24:48
okay we're a third of the way there sounds good
24:51
we're working on it um there's there's other guys as well colonel mortis from
24:55
the forum has been helping a bunch and is going to be helping more in a little
24:58
bit from now i actually haven't sent a reply to that message but yes sounds
25:02
good there you go we'll send a more formal reply later um and there's like a
25:07
couple other people that have been putting a lot of work into this there's also another guy that we're gonna be
25:11
putting on contract very soon for like a while and hopefully making him an
25:15
employee at some point and like you are not alone yeah so yeah it's
25:20
going to be which was again infuriating and sort of hilarious because in the
25:24
video i'm like you're going to have to work with these people this whole list of people
25:28
and like why are you only hiring one person like oh my goodness
25:34
this is great this project is very naive this is coming from an experienced coder
25:39
for six years oh man
25:42
six years wow i'm so impressed wow
25:47
okay here's the other thing that people don't really seem to understand what the
25:51
project is this project is already working yes
25:57
people are so concerned because boiler's a god people are so concerned about the
26:02
financial model the project is already really working
26:08
yeah and there's like a lot more that we can
26:12
do we're going to be okay yeah like a lot of people were like genuinely
26:16
concerned that we were going to like god that we were going to take on LMG take
26:20
on youtube that is not the case now we had gone crazy that is not the goal
26:24
oh we want to be like this cool add-on so
26:28
that during these uneasy times of weird ad revenue and
26:33
like issues that people are having with their channels they can have something a
26:37
little bit more stable that they can stand on and still push as hard as
26:41
they've ever pushed to grow their youtube audience because that
26:45
will be no matter what i say or try
26:49
will be their main platform and we want it to be their main platform because the
26:52
more they grow that the more they will hopefully also grow their Floatplane
26:56
audience okay so let's totally change gears and
27:01
i don't know if i'm allowed to do this but i think i'm gonna do it anyway
27:06
uh i need to get a screenshot of that guy saying it's naive i've been i've been screenshotting a lot of people's
27:12
aggressive comments in like a while i can try to look up
27:16
their usernames and go like hey so what do you what do you think okay
27:20
do you guys want to see premiering on the when show oh my
27:25
goodness the trailer have you seen this i have
27:29
seen it i haven't seen it you haven't seen this no no trailer
27:33
okay hold on hold on i just i want to check and make sure the audio is working
27:36
i don't have my headphones here so i just want to make sure i'm on the
27:39
right playback device and everything yeah so theoretically theoretically this is
27:44
working okay all these people will see it before me because i can't even hear it teaser trailer for scrapyard wars
27:50
season five oh my goodness uh hopefully the audio is working
27:56
oh hopefully it's not too loud hopefully i yeah i don't have headphones i have no
28:00
way of knowing well whatever it'll be it'll be uploaded at some point later but here we go here we go here we go
28:15
i wonder what they're saying sorry dude
28:24
wow we look so serious that's the uh six thousand dollar part oh
28:29
yeah we were pretty serial
28:46
the hype is real cool i hope i have no idea wait so we do mention the really
28:52
expensive part well uh we don't explain oh apparently there's no audio
28:57
so everyone's in the same boat everyone's in the same boat as luke okay well you still have to what you still
29:01
have to watch the actual trailer okay okay do you okay okay hold on hold on
29:04
hold on let's hit it with a straw pole hit it with a straw pull do you guys want to
29:08
see it again with sound so why didn't it have sound actually you know what twitch
29:12
chat just let me know do do you want to see it again or like at all
29:18
pre-recorded yes of course okay yeah okay all right all right all
29:22
right all right all right all right all right i get the point i'm working on it okay okay so i'm just gonna throw it in
29:26
the butt the butt is banning everyone
29:36
stop stop spamming okay the audio is going to be the audio is going to be
29:40
kind of crap because i forgot i don't have it set up properly right now but
29:44
i'm just going to hold this up to the microphone and we'll just have to call that good enough okay run away from the
29:48
behind okay i'm sorry everybody i'm sorry everybody okay here we go here we go
29:53
here we go we're going again we're going again
29:57
hold on hold on okay make sure it's on the screen interesting yeah yeah oh no i got this i
30:01
got this i got this i got this okay okay here we go
30:05
oh wait hold on i'll get our ugly mugs out of the way okay
30:09
uh why isn't my trackpad working okay okay
30:12
uh here we go
30:16
honestly the low points of yesterday were probably the first thing
30:20
yeah probably the fight it feels like we haven't done anything
30:23
like we went to leaves and ate sandwiches which was delicious
30:26
i don't regret that kyle has some strategy he's working on right now screw
30:30
you yeah did something good today yeah so it looks like
30:34
about that seems like if we don't have another
30:39
choice we're gonna have to go for it so yeah so we have 45 minutes just get the
30:43
[ __ ] out of here
30:48
oh man
30:53
so they don't know what might have cost us six thousand dollars no they don't um
30:58
yeah so the hype the hype is super real
31:02
i know i'm so excited to hear about this fist fight i know the sound is not that
31:06
great i'm sorry but uh yeah profanity this this season
31:12
is gonna be a lot of fun um we're doing
31:15
it really differently on the post side of things you guys may or may not have
31:20
noticed we filmed like a month ago yeah that was a conscious decision real
31:25
actual like on a show work went into
31:30
mapping out the episodes so the pacing's a little bit better than before um
31:35
and the idea is that the entire season
31:38
will be pretty much cut and then every episode gets a week of
31:43
polish nice instead of like expecting the
31:47
entire episode to be edited in a week yeah cool
31:51
nice that's good that trailer would be very good that's a
31:55
pretty hyped trailer man i know the fist fight i want to see
31:59
i haven't seen the other side yeah i mean either
32:03
i have no idea there's one thing that we know about that i'm not gonna spoiler
32:06
because you guys just got enough spoilers i think um that involves kyle
32:12
that i'm so excited for we've only heard about i know we've only like yeah and
32:18
like oh my goodness i'm as excited to watch this
32:21
even though i partic even though i'll know half the story yeah is it not it's
32:25
crazy yeah all right i'll mix
32:29
i almost spoiled it a little bit okay yeah i'm not excited for it don't spoil
32:32
it the judge okay to watch it i have a crazy i have a crazy thing to ask you
32:39
okay could it be in 4k on Floatplane oh why
32:43
did why did you do that on stream i'm just curious
32:48
um probably not well i'll talk to boiler
32:52
about it but probably not having the downloads
32:57
be in 4k i think would be really brutal gotcha okay um
33:03
i will talk to boiler will he might even be watching right now
33:07
sorry boiler i'm sorry boiler
33:10
um
33:15
i'm going to leave that completely don't okay i thought you're going to do a straw poll no no i'm not doing a straw
33:20
i'll pull this if people want of course they want it even if okay even if there's no 4k drop
33:24
down option the 1080p looks great the 1080p we've
33:28
so all my friends called me they told me flow plane 1080p looks as good or better
33:34
than youtube 4k we have a it's adaptive
33:37
bit rate so like sometimes it it almost always
33:42
looks a noticeable amount better than youtube
33:45
4k but not technically always right depending on like what is going on
33:50
in the video got it yeah all right so
33:53
let's finally get back to that straw poll so okay actually that's interesting
33:58
apparently the majority of our audience does seem
34:03
to think that uh ltx is a good idea now with that said
34:08
only 840 people voted which is really not that many for
34:12
a WAN Show straw pool so if we were to put the youtube video up
34:16
if we were to add yeah it's up if we were to add people who are indifferent
34:21
who would normally vote on a straw poll right and don't then the numbers don't
34:25
look so good
34:29
but i mean realistically yeah but people being indifferent about like pax
34:33
existing is a really high percentage yeah that's true but a really high
34:37
amount of people go mm-hmm yes to be fair it's a very different
34:43
type of convention yep whereas this is more like kind of like a
34:47
casual like bro out and get together
34:50
a thousand people is so a lot of people in chat don't know what ltx is because
34:54
they weren't here at the beginning right ltx is Linus tech
34:58
expo yeah i mean even though it's not called expo yeah
35:02
it's carnival yeah don't worry about it ltc ltc i don't know but then that's a
35:07
really weird i just uh some someone walks into my office and like should we
35:10
call it this i'm like yeah okay fine ah i see so it is a convention
35:15
carnival thing that we're going to be holding very close to here where everyone can
35:20
meet us and do some cool computer related activities and maybe there will
35:24
be some brands there and yada yada and so forth all right speaking i do that to
35:28
john when you're not here oh really yeah i have to do the same thing maybe the
35:33
floor is slanted well i think i think the idea is you're right at the edge of
35:36
the table yeah and so this person naturally like floats to the edge of the
35:40
table right but that's not the right framing all right
35:45
AMD and the original article here is from gamedebate.com
35:50
no it's not in seattle we live in canada it's going to be do we know exactly
35:54
where it is langley event center yeah so it's langley event center in langley if
35:58
you live in like the the lower mainland or greater vancouver area it's pretty
36:02
easy to get to because right off the highway okay
36:05
so allegedly AMD's Radeon rx vega
36:10
specifications leaked in a Linux driver
36:14
update
36:18
all right so this is uh first update adding comprehensive vega feature
36:22
support to Linux that was issued yesterday whenever that yesterday would
36:28
have been so it depends when you're watching this but basically 14 nanometer
36:33
4096 stream processors 12.5 teraflops of performance
36:39
and that's uh 25 at fp16 okay
36:44
64 rops 256 texture mapping units eight hardware
36:49
threads a 20 48 bit memory interface so that
36:53
looks like some kind of hbm nonsense oh yeah there you go eight gigs of hbm two
36:59
okay is this real i don't know maybe maybe
37:03
not but exactly yeah it doesn't sound that far off it
37:07
doesn't sound like one of those leaks that's just like made by an AMD fanboy's gonna have like
37:12
32 gigs remember it's like we saw their announcement at
37:16
nab that is the consumer card yep no um we're still trying to get one
37:22
of those duel cards but i'm still not sure if we're going to be able to
37:25
because it's like not consumer i'm like NVIDIA like it's funny both AMD and
37:30
video are kind of funny about some cards like NVIDIA won't even respond to my
37:33
emails asking if we can borrow a titan xp
37:38
i'm just like you could just say no like and then the conversation ends hit
37:43
him up on facebook oh yeah okay i'll try that yeah okay
37:48
this is great news so the original article here is from nine to five mac i
37:54
love this because how bull crap is it
37:58
when you buy something and it breaks like right away no fault of your own you
38:03
take it to the store or worst yet the manufacturer where they
38:08
have no excuse and they give you a refurbished part
38:12
it's pretty and it's pretty freaking annoying i'd be pissed off personally it's like if i paid
38:18
yeah and it was in great condition and i'm
38:22
someone who cares about my devices and it's this one's got like
38:26
even some small scratches on it okay yes functionally it's probably the
38:32
same and sure i want to talk to anyone who will go nuclear over small scratches
38:40
but i'm not even saying that in insulting way like this this will piss people off example one of them right and
38:44
the thing about apple's devices is they're expensive they're expensive
38:48
enough that like and a lot of times they're show
38:51
pieces so scratch having scratches on it is like well that's right yeah i mean
38:55
it's not a shovel how easy do you think it would be to imagine someone out there
38:59
whose iphone costs more than their car yeah though like i probably know someone
39:06
there you go at one point in time i definitely knew something and and the
39:10
way people would freak out about a scratch on a car remember
39:13
okay i think as techies we get really
39:16
caught up in specs sometimes
39:19
and how much RAM the iphone has and how
39:22
big the screen is and whatever else and we lose track that for the mainstream
39:27
consumer it is a fairly normal thing
39:30
to spend a lot of money on stuff for the sake of demonstrating to the people
39:35
around you that you could have afforded to spend a lot of money on something
39:39
at case in point yeezys okay yeah i didn't even i i
39:44
didn't even hear about yeezys till like three months ago
39:47
yeah i had no idea they were a thing i had even i had even skimmed over the
39:52
what's inside yeezys video that got them so much hate and i
39:57
was just like yeah i'm not okay not interested like i
40:00
just kind of went by it i was like oh that's got a lot of views i'm like yeah
40:04
whatever and what i discovered
40:07
is that like my badminton group there's multiple people there
40:12
that buy yeezys used like they'll like they'll be
40:16
trolling the used market for yeezys buying them for like four hundred
40:20
dollars like keeping them in like as good condition
40:24
as they bought them in and then selling them for like a bit more like they're
40:29
they're like they're like turning a small profit on
40:32
their yeezys so they can afford the yeezy lifestyle
40:37
and i'm kind of sitting here like what
40:40
what what my shoes cost like a hundred dollars have four places in each shoe in
40:46
the identical spot on each shoe where there is very large significant rips
40:50
okay and i'm not going to replace them
40:55
that's not going to happen how many times do you think i've replaced my
40:58
sandals since you met me i think once
41:02
and it was because like they were in critical damage yeah they came apart yes
41:06
and want to hear something really crazy i still have those
41:11
they sit by the back door so i have shoes to throw on when i go outside the
41:15
white runners that i had when we first started working together are i think in
41:19
the front of this office as like just in case Channel Super Fun shoes nice yeah
41:23
yeah see that is the way to be all right speaking
41:28
of dirty dirty people we are going to
41:31
jump into our uh oh anyway sorry we never actually talked about this
41:35
so a dutch court rules that apple cannot supply refurbished or remanufactured
41:39
ipads um as warranty replacements so when
41:43
someone in the chat is what the bleep is a yeezy
41:49
you're the winner there you go um okay so apple refurbished products
41:53
are ones that have been sold and later returned to the company they are returned to as new standard and given
41:59
the same warranty as brand new devices
42:03
and they are either used for warranty replacements or made available for sale the typical discount of around 14 to 15
42:08
percent remanufactured are newly manufactured
42:11
but may include used parts harvested from broken ones so neither of them are
42:16
considered okay now there are multiple angles on this
42:20
there's kind of an environmental perspective i guess but personally i
42:24
don't really buy that you know apple is protecting the
42:27
environment by giving remanufactured devices for more
42:32
of them at a 15 discount because a lot of it is the the status symbol or maybe
42:36
drop your discount a little more yeah 20 if apple was like look this is
42:41
remanufactured 50 off they wouldn't be able to keep them in stock so it's not a
42:46
matter of like they're you know they would have to manufacture more ipads and
42:50
destroy the earth it's just a matter of them not wanting to do it yeah
42:53
um okay i do want to do our response yeah
42:57
someone in the chat said just put a case on it and like i agree spend 15 less and
43:01
get a case on it or buy it new have it break
43:05
not your fault and get a new one again but you got to understand that not
43:08
everybody feels that way some people are gonna want to rock a naked red or jet
43:12
black iphone to show that they've got the red one or the jet black one
43:17
people probably don't pose like this with the jet black one it's probably more like
43:21
probably businessy stuff yeah yeah yeah
43:24
yeah you got it what is it steel panther or something
43:29
i don't know what that's called steel panther it's from some movie where the
43:32
guy is like a model and he has this like pose that he strikes oh but then he he
43:37
gets like a whole bunch of different poses and calls them all different things but they're actually just the
43:41
same thing oh i see it's just this like way that he looks at the camera it's
43:45
fantastic all right so blue steel someone in the
43:49
chat said it there we go steel steel yeah all right sponsor number one fiverr

46:57
that's freaking awesome so they wait they're telling you to
47:00
return drives for full refunds at like to them because they're just gonna go
47:04
throw it back at a server it's brilliant neat because the way their whole thing
47:09
works we've talked about them before we're not huge fans of their driver
47:12
liability reports but we are huge fans of the idea
47:16
of building out a system that is basically so robust and so inexpensive
47:21
for them to build out that drive failures are just
47:25
part of what goes on and it's just resilient enough to resist that so
47:28
they're just going to have like a bazillion drive sitting around and
47:32
they're just going to kind of go look
47:35
there you go copy it send it off to you when it comes back like what do they care it's been shipped they throw it in
47:39
they give it some you know rudimentary tests and boom it's off to the races so
47:43

48:04
all right so now i've got something pretty excited for pretty excited
48:10
i am pretty excited no it's pretty exciting
48:14
do you want to hit another topic while i try and find the uh the right chat for
48:17
these yahoos
48:22
uh nope moving away from that
48:26
what you got there i just don't know if we're allowed to talk about that uh
48:30
valve limits steam's gifting system without any warning valve has been doing
48:35
things that don't make every single gamer on the planet happy lately which
48:39
is weird valve announced that several changes to steam's gifting system will happen
48:44
before users on steam could purchase a game as a gift and store that copy in
48:48
their inventory for later use when sending games users could either deliver
48:52
the gift directly through steam or attach it to an email through the client
48:56
if you weren't friends with the giftee in the service with the changes you
49:01
cannot store gifts for future use you just when purchasing a game you already
49:05
own you're forced to choose a recipient of the gift at the time when it will be
49:09
delivered so like immediately sending games through email is now impossible
49:13
and it is now possible it is possible however to schedule a game to be
49:16
delivered months in advance which is possibly how people can like pre-order
49:20
things i'm not entirely sure or so you can like pick a gift for someone
49:24
yeah and have it scheduled and have it show up at the right time but it's on
49:27
payment collectors have often used steam's gift inventory to store and
49:31
trade copies of de-listed steam titles that's possibly why this is a thing uh
49:36
these changes will also affect users who trade and sell steam gifts on
49:40
third-party websites that's probably why they're doing it
49:43
gifts you have already stored will not be affected so tell me something
49:48
if you were to buy a steam game for someone else
49:53
would that be an animated gift
49:58
no animated gift i know i got it i got it
50:01
yeah that's right sorry i don't really have anything to contribute to that i mean it
50:04
sucks but i understand why they're doing it yeah so there's
50:08
not really much to say it's just like more hoops to jump through in order to
50:12
give something to someone sucks but i see why they're doing it yeah okay
50:16
is there like is there a reason for so many of you guys have been asking to
50:21
meet the new writers so um i guess i'm kicking you out for
50:26
like five minutes oh i didn't see you i was like but that's only two of them
50:30
yeah no no okay no that's fine so their probation officially ends um
50:36
tomorrow so i've decided that you know
50:40
while it might seem a little cruel
50:44
um normally we don't allow people on camera during their probation because
50:49
you know we don't want you guys to get all attached to them and then we end up kind of axing them so while it might
50:54
seem a little cruel to finally let them meet you and seem as though i am
50:59
validating their futures here as employees
51:03
um to only like ask them the next day i'm
51:06
gonna let them meet you so uh well i was gonna say like if they do bad on the
51:10
show you could still fire them that's true i still have i still have about 36
51:14
hours so uh who's first
51:17
one yes well okay you don't have to be one by one i guess okay well then get get in
51:22
here the framing is only so wide though so you're gonna have to kind of you're gonna have to kind of cram in here
51:28
yeah i would maybe do one by one okay so this is james
51:31
uh james is a uh james is a young man with a okay hold on
51:37
it's a great future ahead of him not at LMG
51:41
why do you look like you're so much taller than me i'm like cold and sized
51:44
on this thing oh because the chair is luke sized
51:47
anyway okay come on in here so tell them about yourself who the hell are you
51:53
well i'm james i'm uh
51:58
i'm the punny guy here i guess i'm the one that makes all the worst
52:02
puns in all the videos you're agreeing
52:07
it's a mantle that i kind of took from you so i wasn't sure that you were going to hand that off i'm i'm totally cool
52:12
with making you the pun king
52:17
not that i would ever not that i would ever want you to feel like i'm punking
52:21
you
52:25
way to punch me below the bell yeah yeah okay so basically uh james has been
52:30
responsible for such recent projects as the lg 5k monitor
52:35
um the sennheiser mic underwater mic the underwater mic
52:39
um an upcoming RGB build guide project
52:42
that we're going to be filming next week oh snap that's going to be dank af i
52:46
thought that was a surprise um oh okay
52:50
people shouldn't be surprised yeah they should be watching for a while admit it
52:54
to yourself yeah what else what else have you even done is that it
52:58
yeah i've only had three videos three assignments the entire time oh crap i've
53:02
been here okay well that's awkward yeah so uh i did the airpods video i did the
53:07
you did not i did oh one of the airpods
53:10
videos cheap airpods alternatives
53:13
i did the digital storm gaming ultra wide
53:17
okay so yeah thanks good job james so you'll see james around more
53:21
at least for the next 36 hours okay Anthony you're up next
53:31
sure oh yeah if you guys have questions for them fire up fire them over to luke
53:34
james isn't actually running away yet maybe they'll all come in so Anthony want to talk about yourself who are you
53:39
you're twitch chat i am Anthony i come from newfoundland and i read about
53:43
things
53:47
that was a good thing
53:50
see this is the result of me giving them like hard word count limits
53:56
they end up they end up losing track of how to communicate in long form
54:02
dang it man okay so what have been some of your favorite projects that you've worked on
54:07
uh as much of a pain as they were the AMD
54:12
releases obviously like the riser release the rx 500 series
54:19
uh really tight deadlines on those but
54:23
we got it out thanks AMD yeah
54:26
so much fun every time an AMD project lands on my
54:30
lap i just know that i'm in for like the next couple of like 24 or 48 hours is
54:35
just gonna be wonderful yeah um also responsible for the highly
54:41
controversial verizon five simulation project
54:45
not the titling of it that was me but the actual data that ended up being
54:50
extremely accurate that was Anthony so
54:53
uh there you go you'll be seeing more of Anthony around now as well maybe even on
54:57
Channel Super Fun since these guys are are officially i mean a few of them have
55:01
appeared already anyway but i kind of turned a blind eye because i was pretty sure they were going to make it but
55:05
you'll see more of Anthony soon and uh all right alex you're up
55:12
or fired keep him or fired okay for everyone so far that is like the only
55:16
thing going on okay can you introduce yourself with your newfie accent because
55:20
it's awesome i don't have a newfie accent i'm not even from there he's
55:23
actually from there okay whatever your eastern canadian accent it's all sounds
55:26
the same to me like what do you mean you did it on the phone during your
55:29
interview don't pretend you can't do it i don't know i don't want to be put on
55:33
the spot like that oh come on your job depends on advancement you
55:38
can't fight i don't know like people are saying that
55:41
he has a crazy accent already anyways really yeah him yeah
55:46
i don't know like like what are you talking about it's like
55:50
okay so this is alex alex who are you
55:53
um i don't know i came from nova scotia
55:57
newfoundland oh my god Colton's coming down
56:01
car
56:05
take me to the bar in your car did they put the bar in your car
56:09
i don't get it but anyway uh
56:12
what what are they saying they want to know if you race nascar but that actually leads well into something that
56:16
you do do yeah i used to build dune buggies and
56:21
stuff and now i'm here i guess i
56:24
i wouldn't say i dropped out of mechanical engineering but i stopped going before i completed it and
56:29
now i'm making youtube videos so
56:32
oh yeah go ahead oh what are you going to say including some of our most
56:36
controversial videos so alex has been responsible for a lot of our system
56:40
stuff including the latest xps 15 the MSI trident their super tiny pc
56:45
and the sketchy heatsink series including
56:49
the most recent effort with the uh the casting and the uh and the 60 of a work
56:54
week of like three employees that got consumed by that by that video
56:59
yeah that um i kind of knew how it was going to turn
57:02
out right from the start if i'm honest oh well that's good honestly that's new
57:07
i no no one told me how that was going to turn out so that's great
57:10
well i don't know like you said that you modeled this off of talk here have you ever watched when they try to do
57:14
something legit
57:21
like would you have preferred that we made something that was like half
57:24
terrible or all the way terrible
57:28
i'm not gonna answer that question because i'm afraid of what i'm gonna end
57:32
up with in the future um alex was also responsible for our
57:36
most controversial video other than the uh the ryzen simulation one in the last
57:41
little while the thousand dollar build guide that went up the other night oh a
57:46
lot of people didn't like your part selections there
57:49
no comment so basically what i'll say is this um we
57:54
knew that that build wasn't perfect because right at the time that we were
57:58
like okay we need to get build guides back on the rails and we like got a
58:03
thousand dollar build guide going AMD dropped the news on us that ryzen 5 was
58:07
like coming but it was so far out that we already had some stuff like coming in
58:12
for the build guide and so it was too far to stretch it out and then
58:16
working with these guys and traveling so much has been really busy we didn't get
58:19
it shot until like by the time we got it shot
58:25
the 580 was not out
58:29
but was about to be announced to us we didn't know it was
58:33
coming yet um and ryzen 5
58:37
probably was gonna make more sense but it was too late
58:41
um yeah the selections for that were picked in like
58:46
january pretty much um well no it was after that because it was after you
58:50
started so it was like march like early march late february or something like
58:54
that so the reality of it is could we have done
58:58
better yes but i also think that a lot of the hate was undeserved we had one
59:02
thousand dollar budget build guide in the title that meant one thousand dollar
59:06
budget not one thousand dollar
59:09
budget build guide we did remove the word budget because i can see where the
59:12
confusion came from but it was a thousand dollar machine and it was a
59:16
thousand dollars based on what we won't do next time but based on
59:21
regular pricing like not the cheapest one we could find
59:25
not taking advantage of mail-in rebates and just like what you could definitely
59:29
build for a thousand dollars yeah the no rebates thing actually adds up fast yeah
59:34
uh the other thing was that by the time we were shooting it
59:38
neither of us was really in a position to go okay
59:41
we're gonna do a build guide it's gonna have ryzen five this platform is rock
59:45
solid but by the time it got edited
59:49
verizon has matured a lot
59:52
yeah so that's what happened there that's why he's not fired thank you alex
59:56
um so luke did you have any questions that people compiled you guys want to
59:59
i'll kind of pile in here and stand here literally literally nothing literally no
60:03
useful questions brilliant thank you everyone
60:07
a lot of people wanted to keep alex and
60:10
then it came out that he was responsible for the thousand dollar build guide and
60:14
then the tone shifted a little bit oh oh okay but then after the explanation i
60:19
think it got a little bit better again okay all right good work all right thank
60:23
you guys cool so you'll see him around as well
60:28
all right so yeah that's basically been what i've
60:31
been up to for the last six months in addition to covering his ass because
60:34
he's been busy creating Floatplane club hooray it is
60:38
actually it has been an exhausting resume like half a year yeah it's
60:43
actually been an exhausting four and a half years is what it's really been yeah
60:47
but um
60:50
yeah that's an entirely separate thing
60:53
all right what else do we have oh there was also by the way i should mention
60:57
there was also a lot of requests for drop and break stuff girl
61:01
oh max max is on vacation so i'm just
61:04
permanent vacation oh wrecked she doesn't know it yet
61:08
that's a little mean no she's just on vacation she she had a pre-booked thing
61:12
and she uh so even though she doesn't technically have vacation time yet we uh
61:15
arranged her to be able to go on her thing cool all right so
61:20
the surface laptop aimed at students wait that was last
61:25
week's news wasn't it uh hold on i thought why is this the source
61:30
for wait what's going on here
61:33
i thought this was uh i thought this was rumors about
61:37
oh no the surface laptop oh yeah okay so it's a 13 and a half inch laptop
61:41
featuring the microsoft three by two aspect ratio it's a pixel sense display
61:47
it's got one usb 3 port mini dp wow would have really preferred to see that
61:51
as a uh as a as a type c usb with with dp it's
61:56
got a headphone jack though so that's a plus magnetic power connector it's 2.76
62:01
pounds so it's pretty darn light and it's got a magnesium body with a fabric
62:05
surface palm rest area that's a terrible idea in theory but uh i we will be
62:10
getting one so i will get my hands on one soon it's available in several
62:14
colors there's some like synth fabrics that might do okay
62:17
yeah i doubt it but the way with the way that like hand oils can burn away
62:23
metal i'm not holding up a lot of hope yeah we'll
62:26
see um the os is the new Windows 10 s
62:30
edition which stands for school and this version of Windows can only run
62:35
Windows store apps so basically um
62:38
enjoy so school so that you don't get to
62:41
learn how to use a lot of really important applications yeah uh Windows
62:45
ask can be converted to Windows 10 pro however okay
62:48
all right the keyboard area is the same felt material from the surface pro it
62:52
also forces you to feel good edge and bing
62:55
well probably unless you um upgrade to pro so specs you can get a core i5 or i7
63:01
u-series processor up to 16 gigs of lpddr3
63:05
up to 512 gigs of storage and it boasts 14 and a half hours of battery life
63:10
starting at 9.99
63:14
okay you're three dollars and you have to use edge and bing
63:18
so your thoughts are not great
63:21
your thoughts are this is not much of a chromebook competitor yeah okay then
63:25
do you have any counter arguments i'm really i okay so there's things that i
63:30
already hate about it um like a laptop
63:33
so with the surface pro the thing about it is that it's a tablet i don't expect
63:37
the keyboard to be used all the time i don't expect it to experience the same
63:40
kind of wear that a laptop would so i accept the fabric on the keyboard
63:45
surface this i'm not sure um this remains to be seen
63:51
so i i at that price i i don't
63:56
personally think that the chromebook is is being threatened in any significant
64:00
way but um Windows store apps like not everyone that goes to school only needs
64:05
to use word like there's some there's some things for
64:08
stem fields that you might want to have apps that probably aren't on the Windows
64:13
store for um so limiting school laptops
64:16
to only the Windows store sounds like limiting school laptops to making money
64:20
not limiting school laptops to school there is one app that i download from
64:24
the Windows store plex
64:28
okay why not the server
64:32
yeah yeah just because that's the plex client for Windows oh yeah you can't
64:37
just go download it not to my knowledge maybe you can but i mean the the Windows
64:41
store one like works fine plex you should let people if you don't already
64:45
yeah you'll let people just download it i could be wrong it's just that i'm not
64:48
it's not a bit that's definitely the easiest one to find so i just i use it
64:52
and it works it works fine with that said i've been having an issue with plex
64:55
where um you know i probably won't get into that
64:59
anyways anyways oh this is good this is
65:02
rich posted by mr meerkat on the forum the original article is from pc gamer
65:06
Intel tells core i7 7700k owners to stop
65:11
overclocking to avoid high temps
65:15
it's like they don't want to be popular yeah so owners of Intel's core i7 7700
65:19
and 7700k processors have been complaining for the past three months of
65:24
unusual temperature increases of
65:27
of up 90 degrees celsius i'm assuming they mean of up to 90 degrees celsius
65:31
and not the temperature increase like the total goes to 90 degrees celsius
65:36
and also that's pretty close to the maximum threshold of 100 degrees and you
65:40
don't really want your processor to run at 90 all the time so basically Intel's response we don't
65:44
recommend running outside the processor specifications like exceeding frequency
65:48
or voltage specifications or removing of the integrated heat spreader i mean it's
65:52
frustrating because like Intel creates this problem for
65:56
themselves by marketing a k unlocked and overclockable CPU and then putting
66:01
insufficient tim on it so
66:06
i don't really feel that bad for them not really a difficult problem to solve
66:10
either yeah well it might be difficult but for
66:13
reasons we might not necessarily understand like it
66:16
it may be difficult to solder that for some reason i don't really know if i
66:22
i said may really really really strong emphasis on
66:25
may yeah well we can't say not you can't say it's not difficult there might be
66:29
something difficult about it yes uh oh this is interesting ultra hd blu-ray
66:35
disc encryption has been crack soared
66:39
so the original poster on the form was herodias and it seems to have come from
66:44
this reddit thread so smurfs 2 is apparently the first
66:48
cracked 4k blu-ray disc um and
66:53
you might be able to get it somewhere i'm not going to spend too much time on
66:56
the slash piracy right this was accomplished by cracking the encryption
67:00
on the drive itself and not through like stripping hdcp
67:06
with capture method which is actually pretty intense wow yeah that's crazy
67:11
yeah so that means you would need a specialized to drive and yeah like it
67:16
also means that you could do it to all of them though okay so
67:20
hit me with this piracy groups
67:25
they care about
67:30
they care about like putting their name on like a release
67:34
yeah and like taking credit for it why like is there's no commercial
67:39
benefit to that right it's rep it's rep
67:43
yeah ah like we did this
67:47
yeah so they wouldn't so so okay so let's say i think hypothetical piracy
67:52
group creates a master drive that can read and and and
67:58
rip any blu-ray so do they actually go
68:01
spend their money to go buy blu-rays to rip them and
68:06
release them for like rep and do they not share their their
68:11
encryption breaking method so other people can load it on their drive so
68:14
they can have all the rep it sort of depends
68:17
uh which group i would assume
68:20
because some groups might be like open source thumpers where they think that
68:24
there shouldn't be any encryption on anything and they want everything to be open so
68:28
in that sense they would open up how they broke the drive sure and then also
68:33
use the drives to break a whole bunch of stuff or they're just like yar har pirates
68:39
and they're like we want to be known as the best freaking pirates ever
68:43
cool okay got it i understand i'm assuming ish these things
68:49
okay let's talk about the uh starcraft source code so this was originally
68:53
posted by rezkovlinkov on the forum and this article on
68:57
mashable gets a couple of things right so
69:01
they've got that there was someone they've got that
69:05
some something was found they've got what it was the original starcraft
69:10
source code and they've got right that blizzard was involved yep there was
69:14
definitely a shower that occurred but it was not gifts
69:18
nope this is actually insane so back in
69:22
2000 a disc containing the starcraft
69:25
source code was stolen from blizzard forcing them to start from scratch
69:30
a month ago a random reddit user chem kemist kimeist
69:35
bought a bunch of blizzard crap on ebay including a disc labeled starcraft
69:39
goldmaster source code chemist handed it to blizzard and
69:43
received hit me with this and i'm gonna okay i'm
69:46
gonna look i'm gonna start as excited as i would be about what kind of reward i
69:51
might say so this is like you taking it out of the box essentially right this is me handing it to you this is me handing
69:56
it to you i'm like well no you're receiving it no no you're
70:00
a blizzard you're you're giving stuff to me oh you're giving me the thing yeah
70:03
i'm giving you the thing i'm like okay i'm amped okay i'm like i'm giving you the box back you start
70:07
opening it at the very top is a copy of overwatch
70:13
then there's some overwatch in diablo swag
70:18
then there's 250 dollars in blizzard store credit
70:25
then there's a free trip to blizzcon and then there's the bottom of the box
70:34
and the box is like thin and not very nice and it's just general gray cardboard
70:39
it's not like a cool one-off branded box
70:42
okay so here's the thing
70:46
the disc was stolen property yes it is the
70:49
property of blizzard and chemist had no business
70:55
no right keeping it yeah but what the disc also was
71:00
was for someone who let's say for example was enough of a blizzard nerd to
71:04
be buying blizzard paraphernalia on ebay
71:08
it was an utterly unique item oh yeah it
71:12
was absolutely an incredibly cool piece of blizzard paraphernalia
71:18
that would have had aside from the monetary value
71:22
incredible sentimental value sentimental value that
71:27
goes way beyond what would you even buy
71:31
with 250 dollars of blizzard store credit some skins skins
71:36
get real okay maybe some months of wow some
71:40
overwatch and diablo swag you couldn't even scrounge up some starcraft swag
71:47
and a trip to blizzcon which is like okay but what he or she should have
71:53
gotten is something utterly
71:56
unique something retro something that
71:59
goes way back to like that weird game blizzard made where you
72:03
like shoot chickens or something or like do you know about that game i don't
72:07
think so that's when i probably heard the name when i saw a blizzard logo on it when i was like it's like ancient
72:12
yeah uh i was like really i used to like one of the really old games lost vikings
72:15
anyway it was a great game what he should have gotten they
72:19
shouldn't have even given him money because i don't we're hurt that's not
72:23
what this was about they're buying this type of stuff that's probably not a huge
72:27
concern it should have been a freaking life-sized golden
72:32
okay like a statue and like a tour yes of their facilities it should have
72:36
been way cooler blizzard
72:40
you done goofed on this one he's a huge starcraft fan if they have any like game
72:44
designers from starcraft like have them meet up with him at blizzard because the
72:47
thing okay thing about these game companies is they have this crap they
72:51
build this crap all the time for cons and stuff like i guarantee you there's a
72:55
life-size carrigan somewhere yeah
72:58
somewhere in blizzard's office there's a life-size carrigan or failing that a hydrolisk or
73:04
something someone in the chat is like they should have released wow legacy servers for his
73:09
efforts that would have been pretty cool yeah if he cared that would have been
73:12
unrelated though yeah so um
73:16
there you go we're disappoint but uh maybe you guys disagree i don't i don't
73:21
think that's even remotely fair like looking at just pure monetary value of
73:25
what he got if he just flipped it on ebay
73:29
okay sorry i'm just i'm cringing so hard at the switch comment i have to i have
73:32
to i'll get into it i'll get into it later go ahead go ahead
73:35
yeah that's the only place golden has ever existed
73:38
um but uh like just pure monetary value of the
73:43
stuff that he got is worth way less than if he just reflipped it on ebay yep
73:48
which is like again again again he should have given it back it was a
73:51
stolen item but like but blizzard just should have recognized the appropriate
73:56
response to this yeah and this is terrible uh so
74:01
pure ownage who must be like old-school internet
74:05
enough to know what pure knowledge is unless you just don't and you just like
74:09
read it somewhere or just put it uh Linus plays wow he knows about gul'Dan
74:18
well Dan's in warcraft orcs and humans yeah gul'Dan's like og warcraft golden's
74:23
like a pretty big deal i mean the lore has changed somewhat
74:29
like gul'Dan's role in everything and like and like the funny thing this is
74:33
what's great about old the movie was weird for that too yeah so if you guys remember i never watched it i don't yeah
74:38
i heard um the thing that's weird about old old games um and warcraft was a
74:42
great example of this where every unit on both sides orcs and humans was
74:46
equivalent so a grunt was exactly
74:49
identical to a footman or i don't even know if they were called
74:53
footmen in warcraft orcs and humans but whatever the spearman was exactly
74:56
identical to the spear thrower um
75:00
or what were they arch whatever it's not the point um the point is the campaigns
75:05
were identical so even though the lore was that the
75:10
orcs like kick their butts
75:14
if you play the human campaign
75:17
i don't does medev even die like
75:20
i don't remember but there's like there's like events that are just not
75:24
right because the missions are identical yeah
75:27
down both paths so i think on the orc side you like
75:32
gul'Dan's gone crazy and you have to go kill him and on the human side yeah
75:36
medev does die on the human side medev goes crazy and you have to kill him it's
75:40
just like totally equivalent stuff but yes no i know see but in orcs and humans they
75:44
didn't read anything out yet you had to uh you had to read the text right there
75:48
wasn't voice acting um oh yeah oh voice acting yeah yeah okay so he's
75:53
saying medivh wrong because of that oh no he doesn't play well oh yeah then
75:58
that furthers your point yeah i only i only know who thank you medivh is from
76:02
warcraft orcs you read it and it looks like medivh yeah sorry
76:09
all right
76:12
there was a couple comments oh reddit says yesterday i got another call they
76:15
invited me to blizzcon all expense paid dinner and drinks with the staff okay
76:18
that's okay i still would have wanted a unique so they probably did that because
76:22
everyone was like what or maybe they planned it let's give
76:25
benefit of the doubt but they still should give him a life-size carrigan i'm
76:29
not going to be happy till he has a life-size caregiver he should be able to like pick
76:33
yeah pretty much whatever character yes life size any character yeah
76:38
all right that's great i love this okay uh matt
76:42
whatever oh king04 you're officially my favorite how young
76:46
is Linus that is the way to ask that question
76:51
and i'm 30 years young thank you old
76:54
and it's such a weird way of saying that i know it's such an insecure like
76:59
way of saying yeah so stupid you say old when you're two so
77:03
you're 10 years old
77:14
this couch uh still exists
77:19
um at the badminton center that i play at
77:23
yeah one of my buddies was like opening up a badminton center when um
77:27
when we moved in here and decided we didn't want the couch yeah he needed a
77:31
couch and funny story he happened to have bought one of that exact couch oh
77:36
wow and was gonna go back and get another one when i was like yo do you need a couch
77:42
that's pretty fantastic sometimes life is funny
