oh i had like a gas bubble there welcome to the WAN Show guys it's uh i
0:10
well i can't control when a gas bubble comes
0:14
i mean maybe you have just magnificent gas control but yeah not everyone shares
0:19
there's multiple chambers along my throat so i can capture it and then hold
0:23
it for later frog luke yeah like yeah yeah i'm pretty
0:28
sure that that's like a breathing thing not like a stomach air thing no yeah
0:33
it's along my throat it's along your throat yeah i've never noticed this yeah
0:36
well it's internal i mean i've inspected the internals of the throat and
0:41
you know probed anyway sorry what are we talking about
0:45
uh we have interesting topics today that we have to do with throat probing yeah
0:48
no throat probing uh adblock plus now bringing you adds a little bit of throat
0:53
probing a little bit of throat probing yeah get throat probed right there uh
1:00
the iphone 7. is it the fastest phone
1:04
ever google terminates adblock plus adsense
1:08
account yeah that was a one-two punch if i've
1:12
ever heard of one also you two uh nope that one's not as interesting us
1:15
government issues an official note seven recall
1:20
the note seven you might say that that whole thing blew
1:24
up in their faces oh man i was trying to think of some pun thing you beat me to
1:28
it yeah something with blue and blow
1:38
only if you're choking
2:06
good job Colton good job
2:11
all right so the when oh my keyboard is like see this is
2:15
something that continues to i think i've ranted about this on lanchow before so
2:18
i'm not going to do it again today but keyboard input
2:22
should never lag yeah it should never lag it should be like you know how they
2:26
have real-time operating systems like the kind that runs your car where it's
2:31
just like no there is no lag on the abs braking system no we should treat
2:36
keyboard inputs like abs brakes i mean it's not the same thing
2:40
no it is not the same i'm aware that the keyboard
2:44
unless you are playing a driving game
2:47
and you bind your e-brake to the space bar
2:50
then your keyboard is effectively a break
2:55
oh man and i broke his head oh a little
2:58
bit his brain is broken now okay
3:01
sorry i just need to do this facebook post
3:05
what do we got
3:09
nothing nothing sorry we have no topics for you
3:12
today i was reading the twitch chat forget it yeah someone confused me
3:16
because they have a new star thing because i guess finally our subscriber
3:19
thing works oh i think way to go Colton again yeah yeah i think
3:24
Colton fixed it because he was like lying to an error page or something did
3:27
you know that doesn't work and i was like yeah
3:30
and he's like are you ever gonna fix it i was like no
3:34
there's so there's there's no benefits at all there's no emoticons and there's
3:38
no subscriber symbol other than a star but there will be
3:42
radically someone had someone subscribed yeah he's a sub from my own stream oh i
3:49
see should i change it to sub only mode so we can just talk to
3:52
one person
3:57
i don't even know how what a i don't even know how
4:00
here am i even a mod i don't i don't even know if i'm a mod am i even signed
4:04
in i don't even think i'm yeah i'm signed in i'm signed in this is my
4:07
channel i should be able to uh i should be able to change to
4:11
to sub only mode i don't even understand how this works
4:15
everyone's like pre-recorded oh it is most assuredly not pre-recorded we are
4:19
definitely we are definitely still working on this all right
4:23
i'm just going to keep clicking this gear button in the bottom until i can
4:27
clear chat hide chat edit appearance i don't remember the comment they changed
4:32
it they changed it they did actually change that's fine i give up okay let's
4:35
move into our first topic of the day ad block plus now bringing you ads the
4:40
original article here is from ours technica let's go ahead and drop that in
4:44
the uh let's go ahead and drop that in the twitch chat there
4:50
ad block plus finds the end game of its
4:53
business model selling ads
4:57
so the company is boasting that they have more than 90
5:02
million users willing to see pre-white listed ads
5:08
so in a nutshell when you put them in by default that means they're willing yes
5:13
so they're launching a self-service platform to sell
5:17
pre-white listed ads that will have to meet its acceptable ads criteria and
5:22
we've actually covered the acceptable ads program in the past that other than
5:27
adblock plus basically being a bunch of butt heads at various
5:32
uh did you did you turn on subscriber only yeah so
5:37
what a terrible person
5:42
i'll turn it off in a second it's only trey and nitro blast
5:49
okay i'll turn it off okay terrible to be clear i do not
5:54
recommend that you subscribe to the atlantis tech how do i turn it on twitch
5:58
account we only stream once a week for one and a
6:03
half hours that is not a good value if you're going to subscribe to a twitch
6:07
channel this is why i haven't really been been chasing you know getting that
6:12
subscribe button going i know this isn't a great sales pitch as far as like don't
6:16
subscribe to us driving donations to Linus media group
6:21
but there are like other ways that you can contribute where you might actually
6:25
get oh i don't know maybe like a t-shirt in return or something like that so
6:29
i i mean do it if you must but we don't
6:32
plan to do a whole lot of subscriber only chat anyway so we've talked a little bit about the
6:36
only time ever like we've talked about the acceptable ads program in the past
6:40
um noticing that some things about it are
6:43
good like the fact that people opting in through their adblock plus app or widget
6:49
or whatever the case may be will be able to contribute ad revenue to the
6:54
advertisers that willingly adhere to the
6:57
acceptable ads program but the the uh
7:01
the way that the evil creeps into this is adblock plus charging advertisers
7:06
to be a part of the acceptable ads program to be pre-approved for it
7:15
so basically the acceptable ad system is
7:18
now providing um is now providing adblock plus with its
7:23
main revenue source so there you have it
7:28
and the original article here is from businesswire but adblock plus enters ad
7:32
tech with the launch of ssp ad platform
7:36
i wouldn't cut in but we are definitely not online right now oh really yes
7:42
oh that's weird yes we definitely seem
7:46
to be online yes we do and we were and nothing noticeably
7:49
changed but we are not currently oh
7:53
well then we'll be right back won't we the whole chat is talking about how
7:56
we're offline and it is currently offline for me as well
8:02
yeah there's now four subscribers in stream
8:05
i think okay
8:09
so are we live now
8:12
were we live at all before uh i still don't see a feed but it does say we are
8:16
live and there's a circle spinning in the middle
8:20
yes my friends we are live oh man that like tripped me out because i was
8:23
looking at this computer and the mouse is moving here and it was moving
8:27
i'm going to switch out of that view yeah yes we're done with that view so back to
8:32
adblock plus maybe subscriber mode broke it
8:36
right okay so we should just never do it again
8:41
okay so they take a cut right
8:44
adblock plus takes a cut from the acceptable ads that's what i've heard i
8:49
i don't know if i've actually read that in here so they originally introduced the program back in 2011 as a way to
8:54
allow websites that wanted to not have
8:57
intrusive ads with intrusive placements to allow adblock plus users to whitelist
9:03
their sites so they could at least still get some revenue even if they didn't get
9:06
the big fat beefy cpms that come along with things like auto play video so
9:11
that's or or ads with uh sound i don't
9:14
even know what the metrics are for those
9:17
but that's essentially what the lion detective's forum has always done yeah just because we didn't want
9:22
like when looking at the forum ourselves because neither of us run adblock we
9:26
didn't want it to be a shitty experience yeah so
9:29
basically more than 90 percent of adblock plus 100 million users
9:33
apparently chose to allow these respectful and useful ads to display on
9:36
their favorite websites um i don't remember if it was an opt-out
9:41
or an opt-in at the beginning so don't don't quote me on any of that
9:45
but basically now they have created their
9:48
this this platform that will allow you
9:51
to actually buy ad space like pre-white listed ad space
9:57
through adblock plus so um and you would
10:00
yeah you would have to kind of brilliant if you think about it
10:03
so they're using a go-between company called combo tag to get the ads
10:09
um yeah i don't know they didn't ask the
10:13
underlying ad providers about a deal of any kind
10:16
um google and app nexus are both ending
10:21
associations with combo tag yeah we should actually that's a separate
10:24
article here i'm just going to post chat here they're yeah they're very
10:27
related yeah so the original article here is from engadget i'm just going to pull this up but google has terminated
10:32
the adblock plus adsense account which
10:35
is uh you know a little bit of a
10:39
hard stop in terms of what they were trying to do if the plan was for them to
10:42
serve google ads through it then uh you know yeah yeah
10:47
that's pretty rough um
10:53
there's like i don't know this is not very surprising
10:58
not very interesting in my opinion a lot the whole internet is like freaking out
11:01
about this i don't use it which is probably why it's not that interesting to me yeah but like the amount of people
11:06
that basically went like this is the ultimate betrayal you are worse than
11:10
anything that has ever happened was extremely large
11:14
um to which uh i don't know
11:18
running ad block is like yeah app nexus said that adblock is
11:22
essentially setting up toll booths on public roads that's brutal taking ad
11:27
money that should be going straight to the publishers that's brutal that makes
11:30
me dislike adblock more than i did before i mean the thing about the thing
11:34
about this is that they are saying adblock plus is
11:39
is being opportunistic and being butt
11:42
heads but what they aren't doing is proposing
11:45
an actual solution to the problem yeah um like i actually it wasn't in any of
11:50
these articles unfortunately but i was i forget why i was reading it but i was
11:53
reading about adblock use over the last couple of years and the way that it's
11:57
trending with millions upon millions of new adblock users per year
12:02
and the fact that i mean okay i'm not
12:05
going to say fact it's a very strong statement but in my mind i believe with
12:10
the cause of this trend being the intrusive ads that exist that force
12:15
people to look for an alternative and by intrusive ads i don't even necessarily
12:20
just mean video ads like i'm talking stuff that downloads files onto your
12:24
computer like there's some really really really bad ads out there that ad
12:28
blocking programs do help you circumvent
12:31
yeah um and there's some webpages that are just actually unusable without some
12:36
form of blocker so google and uh so
12:39
google and app nexus are kind of coming at these guys saying they're taking
12:43
money that should be going to the publishers um but
12:47
the fact of the matter is that these publishers even though they are
12:51
ultimately doing it to themselves in my mind not all of them many of them so
12:56
we're not in the adblock plus program so our ads on the forum are blocked yes by
13:00
most people so the bad publishers are doing it to themselves by adding
13:05
intrusive horrible advertising to their sites
13:10
and effectively doing it to everyone and no one's really doing anything to fight
13:14
this and you know you could kind of go well adapt or die
13:18
but have you noticed that even you know
13:22
serious you know editorial websites like
13:25
a perfect example is uh since the perch takeover a non-tech
13:30
now has those um where are they oh they're they're on
13:34
mobile here hold on let me fire up an article uh
13:38
where are they
13:41
here we go oh man they now have like trending today surrey casino manager
13:45
gets fired releases five secrets to beat the house like they now have those like
13:49
sponsored articles on i mean even very serious like newspaper publications on
13:55
their websites have that stuff linking to those those like those rabbit hole
14:00
click bait sites but the reality of it is is that this is now a cycle that is
14:04
going to continue to snowball until someone does something and i don't have
14:08
a clear answer it has been continuing to snowball i kind of because it would be
14:13
cool if google spearheaded sort of what
14:16
adblock plus is trying to do right and was just really aggressive about it
14:20
um and basically got a youtube red style
14:24
system right where you could pay in and if you wanted to black uh block
14:29
essentially all the ads you could pay in and then google would distribute a
14:32
portion of that money depending on how much time they spent on different websites two different publishers i wish
14:36
i had that article i was reading apparently google red subscriptions have
14:39
really slowed down as well and it doesn't look like that's the answer either
14:43
um people just want to block instead of paying money because because basically
14:47
they're selling something that people are already getting for free um i
14:50
remember what i was reading it was uh it was an article about is ad blocking
14:55
illegal and the answer is no but
14:58
circumventing an anti-ad block mechanism that's in
15:03
place on a website is depending on where you live and what the applicable local
15:06
laws are so right but then like
15:10
so putting that on your site kills you putting that on your site there's
15:13
actually so many people that bought like if we put that on a lot of sections i
15:16
think overall traffic would go to like 10 right something ridiculous with that
15:21
said your monetizable traffic would be identical in theory except that the way
15:26
that you sell advertising space to advertisers is with your overall traffic
15:30
numbers with your reach um so so it's like this it's like this
15:35
this horrible like tar and cigarette
15:38
butt soup of like if you don't have ads
15:41
if you don't give in and sell similar to the video ads
15:45
yeah it's obnoxious but because of how people
15:49
because of the way that people use the way the consumers are behaving you have
15:52
to do it to keep up or you can lay off all your staff or you can you know stop
15:57
doing investigative journalism and you can just kind of repost what you saw
16:01
from somewhere else that is still managing to keep their traffic numbers up high enough to actually employ
16:05
looking at youtube these days just rage and create drama about things and then
16:08
create a clickbaity title that lines up with that and then you'll be very successful
16:12
yeah so i mean to be clear like i kind of i really enjoy the position that
16:18
we're in right now with that said the landscape changes so fast online and two
16:22
years from now i could be lamenting in any one of these things um
16:26
maybe all we'll make are videos about how to make money like the lawn mowing
16:30
thing yeah who knows yeah who knows who knows what will be in two years okay probably
16:35
not but for us being in control of our own ad sales where we and we i mean it's
16:40
something that we didn't do completely by accident where we consciously try to
16:43
make our integrated ad spots uh somewhat interesting and applicable to our
16:47
audience um that puts us in a position where we can
16:51
demand even better cpms than what someone playing you know obnoxious video
16:56
ads in the middle of a written article can even though a lot of the time they're
16:59
doing as much if not more work than us it's just
17:02
it's a function of the medium and i ultimately actually can't do anything
17:07
about it i just happen to be sitting on the right side of that particular
17:11
um dilemma
17:15
i don't know what to call it sure yeah i don't know
17:19
um all right speaking of sitting on the right side of things
17:24
apple seems to be on the right side of
17:28
performance
17:32
the iphone 7 the fastest phone ever does
17:36
anyone care i i'm pretty sure people care why
17:41
what do you mean why why why do people care about an iphone i
17:45
don't know no faster oh oh why are you being that much faster
17:49
like i don't want to be a dick but most phone apps right now like i have a
17:55
very good friend of mine that i was best friends with when we were in high school
17:58
and stuff like that is a mobile app developer makes relatively high-end
18:02
mobile games right his relatively high-end mobile games have to be able to
18:06
scale down to phones that have 500 megabytes of RAM
18:11
right these apps are being made
18:14
for pretty phones right right once sorry intentionally not very good phones
18:19
intentionally um and like my
18:22
phone which isn't that new at this point z5 premium other than having like
18:27
glitches and bugs with it and the headphone jack is weird and stuff performance wise
18:32
great i can do like whatever i want completely
18:36
fine with extremely minimal lag if any noticeable at all
18:40
so i mean i guess there's a couple different angles on this number one is
18:44
do we need faster phones and i think on the iOS side of things it's a
18:48
little bit less of an issue than it is on the Android side of things because at
18:52
least those older phones are running smaller screens so especially in the case of gaming
18:56
they're not going to have to push as hard so you could you can target a large
19:00
install base of iphone users which is a huge concern on the Android
19:04
side and why you target these very very basic specs because the hardware is all
19:08
over the place so you can target a very wide huge install base of iphone users
19:12
without necessarily um pandering to the lowest common denominator the way that
19:16
you would on Android at the same time tuning that up is a huge amount of extra
19:20
work when you could just build it the same way for both right
19:25
so you're probably just gonna build it the same way for both look i'm trying to
19:29
justify this okay can you just help me out a little bit here i just uh like
19:33
okay i'm never gonna say that more performance is a bad thing just like and
19:37
it's not it's not at all that's not what i'm saying it's great that it's a fast
19:41
phone that's awesome we need to keep doing that there's just so many other
19:44
things that it would have rather be the main headline for this phone and it's
19:48
fast yeah i do i do still i do still
19:52
need to get in a unit for review i will do a review of it and i'll talk about
19:55
how it is really really fast and to be clear the iphone 6s is still noticeably
20:00
snappier when using it than any Android phone that i've used um but that's
20:04
mostly because of the drive right um it's partly due to that partly because
20:08
the processor is really really fast which brings me to the other key point
20:12
is i don't understand why anyone is making this the headline for the iphone
20:16
7 because the iphone 6s was already arguably faster than any Android phone
20:20
on the market so i don't really see how we were expecting um i'll follow up
20:25
hey it's happening to the a9 that's that's true but apple is not AMD
20:30
so uh oh burn sorry AMD sorry sorry you might
20:35
want to give some before people freak out okay okay i should probably explain um
20:41
so when they replaced the uh their top of the line six core the uh
20:45
1090 or 1100 t when they replaced their
20:48
top of the line six core with a top of the line eight core fx 8150 if i recall
20:54
correctly please don't quote me on the exact model numbers but basically there
20:58
were benchmarks more than one where the new eight core because of its
21:03
shared resources between the core modules was actually slower than the
21:07
flagship processor that it replaced um
21:10
not in all in heavily multi-threaded benchmarks
21:14
the eight core uh did perform better if i recall correctly
21:18
um so there you go i wow i gee i really
21:23
don't know what to say about this other than that it is faster and you'll talk
21:26
more about this i'm sure geekbench get your there's a new geek bench hey look we're
21:31
still reviewing that thing
21:34
yep promoted stories see what we're talking
21:38
about how anne hathaway became the most hated celeb in hollywood
21:42
wow take a celebrity name put a screenshot of their face
21:46
put hated or loved or loved or or crazy controversial top five crazy things that
21:51
they did yeah yeah yeah
21:54
wow we really don't have a lot of good topics for wancho this week nope
22:02
u.s government official uh issues official note 7 recall this stuff has
22:07
been legitimately insane yeah this is from the washington post already yeah
22:11
copying that yeah okay cool cars lighting on fire
22:15
um there we go like some someone i think was at a
22:18
garage sale or something and like left their phone in the car to charge or
22:22
something like that and then their jeep just completely on fire and it
22:25
completely destroyed it there's been a lot of issues i heard
22:30
through john i don't know but john's usually pretty good source so it's
22:34
probably fine that
22:37
samsung issued a patch which like capped the what the battery
22:41
could charge to trying to get people to issue the
22:45
freaking uh right not refunds but recalls yep
22:49
trying to be like hey like your phone sucks now i think it was like 60 or something like
22:54
that i don't remember sorry if i'm quoting you wrong john um but like
22:57
capping their battery percentage which is an interesting thing kind of knowing
23:01
that they can do that um and then trying to get people to bring in their phones
23:04
for recalls so that they stop freaking lighting things on fire and now the us
23:08
government is like hey guys actually do it so
23:11
hopefully it happens hopefully people do it so so far there have been 26 reports
23:15
of burns and 55 reports of property damage
23:19
so i'm kind of wondering at this point i haven't seen anything about this it
23:23
could be in the note that would be in the notes i get it um that would be kind
23:27
of unfortunate if i missed it but airlines
23:30
yeah no i saw that uh who was it one of the canadian airlines basically they
23:35
didn't ban them yet but they advised
23:39
their passengers against flying with it yeah okay um
23:43
but like that's i i would probably want that band i'm really i'm really
23:48
surprised about i'm surprised that so
23:51
many people are not bringing them in because right now you're in a position
23:55
where you can bring it in for a refund
23:58
so you actually just get your money back and now that the iphone 7 is
24:02
out ah you can get one of those um with no
24:06
headphone jack with no headphone jack did you see okay i don't have it right
24:09
now but i can try to find it but did you see the like the lineup in front of the
24:12
apple store for the phone launch in denmark no i didn't there's two people
24:16
waiting oh really they have like balloons all around the door and like
24:20
some guy has like a cannon that shoots out little confetti things and the two
24:23
guys are just like okay
24:27
like they don't even look excited they might not even be there for an iphone 7.
24:30
like they might be there to pick something else up oh seriously
24:33
i'm not sure i'll try to here i'll try to find it i don't see it iphone fans
24:38
line up for the iphone 7 for two days oh wow yeah no i think i think it's
24:43
probably doing fine um maybe it was like a joke maybe it's
24:48
possible possible it was a joke because iphone 7 released at apple store in
24:52
denmark
24:56
i mean i'm not sure if that's real
25:01
here hold on oh let me screen share you hi i always forget we can do this
25:06
i can't there we go
25:10
you know what you know what i think i don't think that's an apple store
25:15
apple store i think that's like um there are like
25:19
chairs like people were waiting but i hear you i see what you say yeah i
25:23
think that's like like a compu 2000 like
25:26
are simply computing like i think that's like an apple specialty specializing just
25:32
computer storage yeah that makes sense because that logo isn't
25:36
it's a really grainy it's kind of funny that it's about the iphone 7 it's really
25:39
grainy crappy video yeah um but like it that doesn't look like the proper logo
25:43
and stuff that is interesting though all right samsung has apparently finally
25:47
stopped airing note 7 commercials in korea so that's good
25:53
yup they've stopped airing ads for a phone
25:56
that you definitely shouldn't buy because it might light on fire
26:00
um good job man proud of you sam what a huge
26:04
disaster this thing is for them i mean it's one of those things where
26:07
i'm sure some of some viewers are probably sitting there wondering like why wouldn't samsung want people to just
26:13
you know hold on to it and if it blows up then just kind of get
26:17
it replaced at at that time because a recall is like really really expensive
26:22
especially when many of the units are
26:25
supposedly fine and the answer is that
26:29
samsung has to pay millions of dollars to issue a recall and deal with fixing
26:34
all those phones okay samsung could end up paying
26:39
millions upon millions of dollars if
26:42
their phone ultimately ends up um you
26:45
know lighting uh i don't know like a high-rise building on fire and a few
26:49
hundred people die oh yeah like that's a much bigger problem so samsung has to
26:55
even if they on their side are kind of sitting there going okay so you know
26:59
math numbers the fact that they've had like 26 reports of bonds and 55 reports
27:03
of property damage yeah like holy crap like
27:07
this seems like pretty likely for something really bad to happen so even
27:10
if samsung was sitting there going okay it's only a few thousand phones that are actually affected
27:15
even if they they kind of did that math and what the odds are like pretty darn
27:18
low still one of those phones
27:23
if they don't at least look like they are doing absolutely everything in their
27:27
power someone to get those phones back they are they could end up being liable
27:31
for it someone on a plane has their phone go up and the plane goes down yeah
27:35
someone on in a car on a bridge
27:39
phone goes up something crazy like that not good so anyway note 7 shipments have
27:43
been suspended for over a week now and some analysts expect that the sales
27:47
won't resume until next month uh when they have time to retool the
27:51
phones and get them sent back out to retailers
27:56
all right game room has been launched
28:00
what is this and why do we care game room dot means
28:05
for all your pc games uh steam
28:09
okay automatically import scans and imports games from everything else which
28:13
doesn't matter steam good old games origin you play
28:18
even the ones you would definitely okay never bothered to install okay
28:22
uh-huh the only difference is crap i don't care because you would still have
28:26
to launch it through the actual thing when you just like how if you have
28:30
purchased a game through steam that's a ubisoft game you have to launch it if
28:34
you launch it through steam it then has to open you play anyways and launch it
28:38
through there who put this in the dock
28:43
Colton Colton
28:46
okay so what what does it do so it wants to plug into all clients
28:51
it just aggregates all the games that are on your computer
28:54
i know i know i mean they try and build that into Windows vista
28:59
and didn't no one cared yeah yeah yeah the game folder i
29:03
actually kind of liked the game it was pretty cool i used the game folder but
29:06
it was nice because it was built into Windows yeah well microsoft decided they
29:09
didn't care about games anymore it wasn't a room
29:12
no like a folder it was a folder yeah but it was games not just game
29:17
i mean game room another secret feature about this app is that it aggregates all
29:21
the games in your computer and then picks one of them and that game goes into the game room
29:27
yeah that's a stupid feature does it actually do that no no no no
29:34
i i did that way too seriously
29:38
oh man wow this is interesting all right so the
29:42
original article here is from ctv news hp is apparently buying samsung's
29:46
printer business for 1 billion
29:52
so basically they're just buying out samsung having cheap printers that are
29:57
like kind of okay so they can sell more expensive printers that are also
30:02
kind of okay also samsung's printer business includes more than 6 500
30:07
printing patents which is a lot cool
30:11
so it will help it go from traditional copiers to multi-function printers said
30:16
the deal will also strengthen its position in laser printing
30:19
wow this is boring the deal is expected to close within a
30:24
year alibaba has fired employees for hacking
30:30
their way to free moon cakes
30:34
hundreds of holiday cakes were purloined
30:37
through weakness in the internal website
30:41
so let's say for example that Linus media group were to have a mooncake
30:45
program which is more common than you might
30:48
think it like an asian for an asian company what is a moon cake okay moon
30:52
cakes are something to do with some kind of chinese something or other it's like
30:57
a seasonal item it's like it's like a fruitcake i mean it's nothing like a
31:01
fruitcake because they're gross and they're just full of like egg
31:06
um yeah it's like
31:10
i'm okay if you're likely to be offended by
31:13
what i'm about to say yeah then you better tune out and kind of come back in
31:17
a minute or so that's never a good sign but like
31:20
chinese dessert oh no
31:24
like red bean soup it doesn't even it doesn't sound like
31:28
dessert it doesn't look like dessert and most
31:33
importantly it does not taste like dessert
31:36
it doesn't have sugar in it it has a grainy ass texture to it it's just awful
31:42
it leaves a wicked bad aftertaste odour mango jelly and it has beans in it hey
31:46
that thing that we used to get that he'd put on the thing
31:50
and then he'd lift it off okay okay yes so there are some
31:55
there are some good chinese puddings that i can abide
31:59
but my wife okay she eats what she calls chinese donuts
32:05
what are those as far as i can tell they are flour and bread deep fried
32:11
there's no sugar sprinkles there's no sugar in them
32:15
as far as i can tell again it's like have you ever had a beaver tail
32:19
yeah okay it's like a beaver tail but with no toppings
32:23
no sugar no cinnamon that sounds really on a piece it's just it's just like a
32:28
deep fried pastry and i'm sitting here going
32:32
that is not dessert even chinese jello is awful they have this jello you know
32:36
you know um Yvonne's layered jello that uses the the regular jello and like
32:41
whipping cream infused yellow yeah okay so i got suckered into this
32:46
chinese jello because it looked like my wife's jello and my wife is chinese so i
32:51
kind of put two and two together i went this is how my chinese wife makes jello
32:54
this is how her chinese relatives probably make jello they are probably
32:58
the same thing yeah it looked a little different okay like the colors were kind
33:01
of pastel instead of being like like dark jello colors
33:06
and then the the lighter layers were also light okay so it looked quite
33:09
similar no it turns out it has like rice in it and it's not sweet
33:14
rice i'm just like rice is the like why
33:17
probably as far away from dessert as you could
33:20
pretty much ever get some rice pudding is pretty good
33:24
okay i can do rice pudding with like a sweetened yogurt added to it i don't
33:28
think i've ever had rice pudding okay i'm not well-versed enough in this topic
33:32
to talk about it so i don't remember how i got into this right um moon cakes are
33:38
disgusting so people got stole people got fired for
33:42
stealing moon cakes you know what they could have had my moon cake i i used to
33:47
get moon cakes at ncix where i used to
33:50
work and every year i would bring them home and i would give them to my in-laws
33:55
because brownie points and they're disgusting
33:59
and i want nothing to do with them and so it was actually one it was actually a
34:03
pretty cool perk but all the other all the other white
34:07
people who worked there would get them and they'd just be like
34:11
this is very expensive i sure wish i had something else for the
34:15
money you spent
34:19
oh on cakes that's that's a little sad sorry anyway
34:23
so oh okay actually it looks like all of this information was actually in here so
34:27
it's the mid-autumn festival which starts on september 15th and the holiday
34:31
is commemorated through the exchange and sharing a salted duck egg started by a
34:36
thin crust wow i'm uninterested so so
34:39
hold on um so the round pastry is filled with lotus
34:43
seed paste or red bean paste and then
34:47
sometimes the salted yolk of a duck egg surrounded by a thin crust
34:51
if that sounds good to you then
34:56
thumbs up and then good have some moon cakes um yeah they're apparently in huge
35:01
demand leading up to the festival and alibaba offered their employees one moon
35:04
cake each um complete with one alibaba plush
35:08
inside additionally cakes were sold at cost to employees for friends and family
35:12
through an internal e-commerce page so four software engineers were able to
35:16
add software to the system directing extra moon cakes to themselves i mean
35:20
how many how many moon cakes do you need they found that the four had amassed
35:24
themselves 124 boxes of cakes how are you going to eat 124 lotus seed paste
35:29
cakes 124 duck eggs i mean how many ducks
35:33
does it take to make 124 duck eggs like
35:36
not even in the like wow you must ate a lot of moon cakes bro but like how is
35:41
that worth it
35:46
i can't i can't imagine that you would honestly think that you wouldn't
35:49
get caught for that ever
35:52
like what like what made them think
35:56
the company doesn't know how many employees they have and how many moon cakes they bought like
36:00
if you're going to steal like one extra one it probably doesn't matter you're
36:04
probably going to get away with it yeah and you're going to catch them just be like what and then it's probably fine
36:09
and you could even you could even you could even be like hey
36:12
i used this loophole to steal one i i like kind of already ate it but like you
36:16
should probably patch that loophole you know you could be like i'll trade you a mooncake for a bug
36:20
report yeah yeah you'd probably get away with that yeah 124 boxes of cakes that's
36:25
just stupid i stole some micro usb cables
36:29
you can if you if you want you can you also told me about them yeah so it's not
36:34
really stealing at that point is it okay it's taking without permission
36:38
and then asking permission after okay that is
36:42
kind of
36:47
there we go okay okay uh original our oh actually oh

39:59
beautiful website if
40:04
should you it doesn't really work that well
40:09
okay so should you find yourself wanting to
40:12
build a beautiful website then you can use squarespace.com should
40:17
you find yourself in need of tech support they offer 24 7 tech support via
40:22
live chat and email should you be pleased with the squarespace website
40:26
that you have created you can take your trial website which you have i think
40:30
it's 15 days to work on don't quote me on that i can't forget i can't forget i
40:34

40:39
month and you get a free domain should you decide that you want to commit to
40:43
squarespace for an entire year
40:47
should you decide that you want to sell things through your squarespace website
40:50
they have commerce built into every one of their templates and should you decide
40:54
to be a complete butt head and create a website that's just a one-page internet
40:59
presence that doesn't give any bloody information about your company your
41:02
products and or how they are related to each other then they do have their cover
41:06
pages feature which lets you get that online in a matter of minutes which i
41:11
guess is fine should you find yourself in a situation where you really don't
41:15
have a lot of time because you're too busy being like a web 2.0 startup and
41:20
you're you know sipping your lattes and mocha lattes and frappa lattes and
41:25
whatever it is to spend a lot of time writing out all
41:28
the copy for your website but should you decide to build a more comprehensive
41:32
website squarespace has got you covered there too and it's so simple that should
41:37
you find yourself 30 with no web skills
41:40
whatsoever and running a tech company where that kind of thing is very
41:43
embarrassing squarespace can bail you out
41:47
so should you no i actually but that was just a pause because i wasn't sure what
41:51
my transition was going to be so now it's more difficult
41:55
should you um find all of this exciting yes uh you can use offer code when to
42:00
get 10 off your first purchase yes
42:04
we did it
42:07
oh yeah basically awesome people so there's way
42:10
more far more interesting topics like
42:13
far below the fold oh seriously
42:16
so they hit they hid all the interesting stuff on us this week i mean this is
42:20
interesting okay so apple decided to put a barometric vent in the space where the
42:25
iphone 7 headphone jack would have been
42:29
so they're saying that uh this feature can measure minor changes
42:33
like climbing a flight of stairs fascinating yeah um so basically it's
42:39
coming back down to apple wanting to be a health
42:43
measurement device company that seems to be where they're headed i mean
42:47
it's one thing to sell an iphone for a thousand dollars it's a whole other
42:51
thing to sell a medical device for ten thousand dollars
42:54
um yay so i can i can see where the appeal of getting into
42:59
um although hopefully we will wreck their hopes and dreams coming this
43:03
hopefully not too long after this november oh are
43:06
you going to be working on that thing should we should we tease it i don't
43:10
think anyone else is going to rip off the idea sure i sent a follow-up they said
43:14
they're still down for november so i'm working with a local university i'm not
43:17
going to name who specifically it's a ba university they're awesome though yeah
43:21
so like i'm not just saying that because like i know one person really well who
43:24
flunked out of it who flunked out of it
43:28
ah really i thought it was a different one nope oh okay no i went all the way
43:32
to the top okay um anyways they're they're awesome
43:38
they're really good and i hold i hold no ill-will
43:43
i'm gonna be working with their sports cardiology department to
43:47
bench to do a benchmark of sorts against
43:50
fitness trackers yeah like hopefully more than just way i want to see if we
43:56
can do sleep tracking but i don't know if we're going to be able to do that okay um just because of like lab hours
44:00
and stuff like that but i'm going to try to figure out because they do have a mobile thing anyways we'll try to figure
44:05
it out yeah but mainly heart rate tracking yeah so so they have so
44:10
basically we're going to get him hooked up to the proper gear we're going to get a range
44:15
as well because heart rate trackers work uh
44:19
more or less effectively against different people so we're going to get like an athlete from that school
44:25
and myself and like probably the guy that's running the program to get like i
44:29
thought you're going to say me i thought we were going from athlete to you to me and i was going to be like
44:33
well a your dick and b that's probably fine
44:37
oh no your cardio is way better than mine i guarantee it my knees are just
44:40
mess up i know i'm hoping that they're better i can move
44:43
until i can't move anymore right right
44:47
a whole other thing but yeah so that should actually be really cool that was
44:51
sprung largely from a while ago when we were talking on the WAN Show when fitbit
44:56
was getting like lawsuits for being bad things basically
45:00
not reporting things correctly yeah so we want to look into that more deeply um
45:04
so yeah tracking health things with little
45:07
tiny devices that aren't very proven yet
45:10
might not be a thing or might yeah by the time we do that we should have an
45:15
eye watch too so unfortunately a lot of the like
45:19
watches that we got aren't going to be slightly replaced by then but dude how
45:23
many of them did we buy a few uh to be fair though a lot was an
45:27
overstatement i think only two of them were replaced by that how much were they one of them was the iwatch which we
45:31
didn't buy for it that's true that's true so i think it's
45:34
only one maybe i think i did end up paying for that though we didn't buy it
45:38
four years yeah no i bought it we already have it yeah yeah
45:42
because most of like microsoft hasn't come out with a new one
45:45
yeah garmin hasn't come up with a new one everyone's like apple watch no it is
45:48
the iwatch forever i refuse
45:52
i refuse so anyway so
45:55
the barometer is maybe going to be useful for cool stuff like measuring
45:59
altitude which i guess is pretty neat um
46:04
i don't know i would trade a knife i would trade a headphone jack oh yeah for
46:08
that personally but at least they did
46:11
something that would be interesting if they made a barometer that would exactly
46:16
flush with the phone if it was plugged into your headphone jack you know what'd
46:19
be really cool is if they made a barometer that could tell you how big
46:22
they are what a barometer uh
46:29
wow wow
46:34
wow logitech bought uh scitec from cut
46:37
logic nope they only make phones now
46:42
phones and headsets uh logitech bought scitec from madcatz this is awesome
46:47
yeah i am excited yeah
46:51
you can say why you're excited first um well okay we have a review
46:55
we both like flight sticks we don't have enough time to spend with them because i
46:58
like all kinds of sticks jesus put my hands around them like this i
47:02
have a review on the warthog and you have a review on a scitec system
47:07
i don't remember exactly which one uh x52 x52
47:11
and i'm happy because i think logitech will do more
47:16
with it okay if most people just go this way
47:19
yeah i i mean i didn't say i was good at this i liked them
47:23
right uh so anyway so why i'm excited about this is there are things that
47:29
scitec the division of mad okay there are
47:33
things that mad cats does well
47:39
and there are things that scitec used to do well before they were acquired by mad
47:43
cats like um you know actually making
47:47
these products for crying out loud like actually making joysticks because that's
47:52
not that i mean it used to be that you know other than
47:57
thrustmaster and scitec there were
48:00
actual brands that microsoft used to make them yeah logitech used to have
48:05
them like and then it just died along with the
48:09
space sim um along with the space sam and microsoft's flight simulator and
48:13
like yeah so there's stuff that scitec did well
48:16
and then there's stuff that logitech does well which is make
48:20
a good idea which is what scitec had
48:24
and uh mad cats owned
48:27
um so take a good idea and a product people want to buy and make sure that
48:31
the quality of it is good and that it lasts for a long time so i would be
48:34
really really excited to see what kind of scitec products we see
48:38
with some kind of care and attention
48:42
given to making them feel good and last
48:45
a long time and operate well
48:50
uh this will hopefully line up with like the g29 and g920 the the driving force
48:56
steering wheels which i reviewed a while back and were actually like really awesome
49:00
just saying you should go check out that review they're really cool yeah and i
49:04
told you i brought the obato to the office now right so the plan i think what Jake wanted to
49:09
do was uh set it up in the vr room like we might end up just taking all the
49:12
furniture out of there i want you know yeah something like that having one like
49:16
small bench could be helpful yeah or even one couch
49:20
um like or like a lovely one like one chair or something like that i think
49:24
would be would be pretty cool because having a viewer for whatever you're doing is nice yeah but we don't need
49:28
like that giant thing yeah um and having no butter in that one like nook corner
49:33
thing yeah is would be awesome that'd be perfect so i'm i'm super excited about
49:36
this i'm not a logitech fanboy i just have a certain amount of respect for
49:41
building products that are designed to last and logitech seems to generally
49:45
care about that for the most part yeah um all right google maps can show how
49:50
much you are speeding
49:53
up so the original article here is from rs technica
49:57
and users report that a speed limit sign is showing up in the bottom corner of
50:02
google maps it's about time because this has been a feature on other gps programs
50:07
for quite some time and is something that i personally am
50:11
often curious about and don't understand why i need to
50:15
like look at signs for anymore in the modern digital age very cool
50:21
that's probably about all we got to say for that there's no like
50:24
uh it's just random user reports apparently nothing official so google
50:29
hasn't stated anything this is not surprising they do this all the time they're probably a blog post once it's
50:34
much more ubiquitous across their platform you probably only roll it out to a very small percentage so it's a
50:38
server-side switch but the code started showing up in google maps 9.35
50:43
yeah so yeah i'm excited i wish it would also tell you how fast you're going but i
50:48
understand why they don't do that like i don't know you probably haven't been
50:52
driving long enough but when i first started driving those uh those radar
50:56
things those displays on the side of the road that tell you how fast you're going
51:00
when you're in a construction zone or a school zone or whatever else they didn't have a cap on them
51:04
so people would blow past them to clock themselves
51:09
um yeah so now when you're going no i
51:12
definitely remember that okay that was the thing now when you're going more than 20 over it just says too fast slow
51:18
down yeah um so i understand why they don't
51:22
necessarily want to put that in because for the same reason that that they don't
51:26
build in tools to like tell you how much you beat the original estimated time by
51:32
um i think my record is like 15 minutes on
51:36
a 55 minute drive or something like that but you have to do it manually you have
51:40
to do it yourself if you want to know things like that um but that's why they
51:43
don't build that in because they don't want to encourage people to speed
51:46
um yeah
51:50
oh well here's a here's an interesting uh
51:53
here's an interesting article oh yeah microsoft crashes google's latest chrome
51:58
battery life claims so this is a video that they actually um
52:03
ran a little while ago and that uh i'm still working on it and i can
52:07
talk about it openly okay that we are working on replicating to find out if
52:11
this is actually true or not there's problems with this whole deal and a lot
52:17
of them revolve around Windows 10 just being like
52:21
a little this might be the wrong word for it
52:24
yeah crazy it'll just do like nutsoid things dr
52:29
jekyll mr hyde yeah um like we've got four identical machines yeah we have
52:35
tried to run these tests i like tweeted about it at some point and basically
52:39
luke's run into everything under the side so many different problems and like
52:44
these are all the same machine
52:47
huh all running at the same time with the same software installed the same
52:50
settings everything oh you're like channeling dennis there a little bit yeah
52:54
and they'll be different by many hours with the same browser doing
53:00
the same thing so that's the thing is we're trying to do just the control yeah
53:04
i'm all running the same browser many hours different same laptop same
53:08
browser exactly same load they'll be watching a youtube video
53:12
same programs installed same things running which is like essentially
53:15
nothing one of them will ask for like i think i was doing google chrome but
53:20
not this update of it and it's not the exact same load that they have here and
53:24
it's not the exact same laptop so don't worry too much about comparing it to the numbers that we just saw but i think it
53:28
was like three and a half hours two of them lasted for about three and a half
53:31
hours yeah and then two exactly the same laptops as the other
53:35
ones we were just looking at would last for like five hours and 15 minutes i was
53:39
just like what is going on yeah i'm i'm picturing the
53:44
jackie chan meme but like my head is full of blue yeah yeah
53:48
exactly i just what i don't know i'm gonna do like
53:53
full reformats on all of them and i think what i'm gonna have to do is
53:57
like completely disable all of like Windows defender and firewall and like
54:01
everything that Windows can properly have there was a problem lately where if
54:06
you had sound enhancements enabled
54:10
um even even if none of the boxes were checked if you had none of the sound
54:14
enhancements on but you had the sound enhancements enabled it could take up
54:20
like 20 of your CPU at a time or some crap like that like oh my god so
54:27
uh yeah i don't know it's a nightmare right now
54:31
but hopefully we will have our own benchmarks of that eventually
54:35
great british scientists have developed a cheaper unbreakable touch screen for
54:40
smartphones the original article here is from news.coma
54:45
have you posted i have not got it i have not posted a
54:49
thing so i already hate it i hate it so much i think they're stupid and liars
54:53
and i'm angry cool they said unbreakable
54:57
i'm getting really tired of this crap it's really starting to piss me off
55:02
oh our device is waterproof uh yes you
55:05
do a whole bunch more research and find from like a third party that's like ip67
55:10
it's not waterproof it's not the right word so much anger unbreakable is
55:15
i guarantee you if the us was like yup we'll nuke it it wouldn't be
55:19
there anymore god
55:23
stop it i just like someone in the chat said triggered yes i think these words
55:28
are literally getting to the point where they're starting to like mentally
55:31
trigger me whenever i see someone that's like uh yes our battery bank is
55:34
waterproof i'm just like like i think they should like be fined
55:40
fairly significant amounts of money because it's actually just completely
55:43
maybe that's why he doesn't take pictures of you because you do that
55:48
he's very unhelpful unbreakable why are you taking all these
55:52
pictures around the oh you're reviewing that camera yeah oh it's kind of
55:56
cheating to take all of your pictures in like a studio with studio lights
56:00
you're not just doing this when he was in my office he took a picture that's definitely not studio lights but anyways
56:05
okay i think they should actually genuinely be fined because they're uh
56:08
misleading information about their products i think so too they're probably they're lying
56:11
about their products the problem is who's going to oversee this
56:15
there there are organizations for this in the states they're just not doing it they're just not doing it yes they have
56:20
like bigger fish to fry yeah so basically they're underfunded and
56:23
undermanned but if they could figure out a way but they should just hire fines going a bunch of like not as well paid
56:28
employees that just hunt these like battery companies and like
56:32
that and just wreck all of them until they all just stop
56:36
and then that would be good because like i'm i'm really tired of it your battery
56:40
bank is not waterproof which chat is just like trigger trigger trigger
56:44
trigger i am though it's oh man it
56:47
pisses me off all right so it's reportedly a fifth of
56:51
the cost of current touch screens and then i have no idea
56:56
what this is supposed to oh 14
57:00
australian dollars compared to 70 australian dollars a square meter for
57:05
indium tin oxide and this technology could be rolled out as soon as 2018. so
57:09
currently the electrodes and touch screens are made from indium tin oxide
57:13
but the supplies are slowly running out because that's what humans do and so
57:16
they're searching for the next electrically conductive material that could be used by manufacturers until we
57:20
use up all of that so scientists in britain have been looking at hybrid
57:24
materials that can conduct electricity and using a simple and inexpensive
57:27
method they're producing hybrid electrodes from silver nanowires and
57:30
graphene so okay once if this gets released in anything
57:36
can we get it and can i do like a tech racks level
57:39
video where i just destroyed the thing and then just like end it with
57:43
like screw you and then just like move on i feel like
57:47
this now you're going to remember and you're going to actually do it i will
57:51
it's up to you okay no no nothing is ever up to me
57:55
oh straw pool it is up to the viewers because i okay so to explain a little
57:59
bit i'm going to go back in conversations that microsoft web browser
58:03
test thing the reason why we're doing it is because i want to start a video
58:06
series where we i don't remember exactly what it was called i think we were going to call it manufacturers say yeah
58:11
going back to like memes from a long time ago yeah um but i'm old it was it
58:15
was basically testing claims of manufacturers and the reason why i
58:20
thought of doing this kind of thing was making my battery bank videos in mexico
58:24
because i think every single brand except for shiro lied
58:29
right which is like insane and it brings back that same thing from before where
58:33
like everyone uses click bait because everyone has to use click bait right
58:37
because they wouldn't be able to sell because everyone else is lying yeah and
58:40
shiro saying water resistant looks worse
58:43
than the other people saying waterproof even though the other people are lying
58:46
okay well apparently no one thinks that i'm right
58:50
or five percent all right you win
58:55
so go ahead you get to break the first uh bone in 2018 or whatever whenever
59:01
yeah whenever it actually happens maybe you could put an arrow through it
59:04
sweet no it's been done marcus did it with the sapphire glass
59:08
okay is that his name marcus yeah yeah it's marcus or marquez
59:14
or marquez brownlee yeah oh i thought i saw what you're talking about tech rack
59:18
oh no yeah okay no marcus okay yeah yeah
59:24
um
59:27
yeah i don't know i just that stuff really pisses me off this is great
59:31
fbi director cover up your webcam with a piece of
59:35
tape love it original article here from msn.com they
59:40
sell little plastic flip cover things for it they're actually pretty nice
59:43
check that out oh do you have one uh i'm it's literally been ordered already but
59:48
i don't have it yet interesting so uh james comey defended putting a piece of
59:54
tape over his personal laptop's webcam claims the security step was a common
59:58
sense one that most should take many ASUS laptops have um slidey covers
60:05
the little you've seen that right yep it's like a mechanical switch
60:09
i don't think they have them anymore really yeah i think it's because your old one has it right yeah yeah i think
60:15
it's less common now yeah um so there you go yeah mom and dad that
60:19
laptop that you know have use the little things so the quote is there are some
60:23
there's some sensible things you should be doing and that's one of them you do
60:27
that so people who don't have the authority don't look at you i think
60:30
that's a good thing fair enough man cool
60:37
apparently someone from an oil company
60:41
quest integrity group tried to impersonate elon musk by making
60:47
an email account elon elon tesla
60:51
yahoo.com and then sent an email to tesla's cfo
60:59
asking for non-public information
61:02
like company sales and financial projections what the hell
61:09
oh yeah this will totally work i'll make it elon tesla yahoo.com
61:15
i mean you can tell he's old because he uses yahoo
61:22
yeah but oh man that's hilarious
61:29
come on it's like just just a random email from
61:33
from elon hey yeah could i get some uh
61:36
you know some uh financial projections
61:40
that would be good if you can just email those to me right now if you could if
61:43
you could email them at yahoo yeah then uh yeah you know i don't want to use the
61:47
google because uh yahoo sounds more credible somehow yeah
61:52
says elon musk says elon musk that's wonderful
61:56
uh oh this is a rumor so the original article here is from overclock3d.net
62:01
there are leaked supposed gtx
62:05
ti specifications
62:09
so hypothetically it'll be somewhere between the 1080 and the titan x
62:13
uh it'll be very close to the titan x and it will have
62:17
slightly fewer cuda cores slightly fewer sms
62:21
uh it'll have blah blah blah 384 bit bus 12 gigs RAM
62:26
no gdr5x no gddr5x oh interesting well there's
62:30
where a lot of the cost savings is coming from i wonder if that's a big part of the reason why titan x is so
62:34
expensive mm-hmm this 1080 is also a lot more expensive
62:39
than 1070 and it's like 12 gigs of it ah then
62:43
again oh no maybe not that probably math probably doesn't work for that anyway apparently it is clocked higher though
62:49
and has the same TDP so we can expect
62:52
then that much like with the original titan x and the 980 ti that the titan xp
62:59
and the 1080 ti are actually going to end up performing very very similarly
63:03
because if it's clocked if it has fewer functional units and it's they're able
63:07
to clock it a little higher out of the box it'll probably boost a little higher too
63:11
so it wouldn't surprise me if basically anyone who bought a titan x is going to
63:15
be crying um once the 1080 ti gets
63:18
released but i mean that's the price you pay for being on the bleeding edge like i get it
63:22
um and you should get it too
63:26
yep that's kind of how that goes i think i think i brought something up about
63:30
that in the titan xp review but i don't remember
63:33
i don't remember either that was a very blurry time in my life it was with the
63:37
whole work occasion and like people hating it i have a new idea for
63:42
christmas bonus this year titan xp
63:45
i have heard yes it's cool um
63:49
oh okay well keep it to yourself
63:52
no uh i know oh uh okay
63:56
uh uh moving on
64:00
ah what else we got you know what i think that's pretty much it everything
64:03
else in here is pretty boring apple japan ordered to pay 118 million in tax
64:07
for under reporting income surprise surprise um so they're mad
64:13
japan's mad apple's probably mad everyone's mad so
64:17
yeah everyone's angry i'm not mad i don't care maybe apple japan heard
64:22
someone wait apple japan is the one that's mad right i think everyone's mad
64:25
probably oh it's like when you don't everyone told each other that the
64:28
devices were waterproof and they were just like they're just all
64:31
triggered now you don't understand how that works yeah yeah that is probably exactly how
64:36
it went down and on that completely intelligible note
64:42
we bid you uh yeah same bat time same bat channel next week
65:15
you can't just keep carrying more cameras there is a limit
65:18
i don't know you might find a way i think there is yeah i think brandon's
65:23
musculature is different than normal people i've i've like observed this over
65:28
doing shows with him he can carry large amounts of weight for ridiculous amounts
65:33
of time just not up a mountain no he did uh yeah actually he did
65:37
technically he got all the way yeah not in time to film anything mind you no but
65:40
he got all the way
