0:00 and sink we don't have to sink sink the
0:04 plan is never to sink the plan is to
0:07 float that's right all right welcome to the W show you guys sinking for the
0:13 editor we don't edit the W show why not
0:16 why not because the L show is already as great as it possibly could be it is the
0:21 greatest show and we've got a lot of great topics for you guys today so first
0:27 up twitch to relaunch curse
0:30 as social twitch desktop app so social
0:35 sounds very social to me it's a very interesting actual shift I I do have a
0:39 fair bit to discuss about that even though I have never once used curse and
0:43 very rarely used twitch MH I it would be
0:46 once a week but like other other than that um the first am4 ITX board
0:58 appears Facebook strikes makes a deal to live stream major league soccer matches
1:02 which of sorry excuse me football football football not uh not hand EG
1:08 it's not football yeah no it's not football really are you going to be that
1:11 guy that just has to go and be uh you know all American about it well when I
1:18 was a kid we called football the the game with the ball with the p the pig
1:22 skin on it you know Nintendo switch sales are
1:27 apparently absolutely crushion ating
1:31 everything and let's see W there was
1:34 another really cool one where is it scientists have stored a movie an
1:38 operating system and oh yeah an Amazon gift card in a single spec of DNA so
1:44 we'll have more on this at 11 so far we
1:48 have zero viewers apparently that must be an error I refuse to accept that we
1:52 could have zero viewers on the W show there are twitch Chatters so there are I
1:56 have 601 viewers all right rock on so 61
2:00 viewers can watch an intro that works oh oh oh and I no no I got this mute mute
2:06 mute everything is fine everything is awesome good stuff good stuff this is
2:10 going well going as
2:15 expected do you have music I believe
2:19 so I'm busy uh I'm on a new
2:26 laptop no no I got this i got this i got this don't worry I got this i got this
2:31 I'm trying to help I fix it I fix it now
2:34 I fix it not you fix it I fix I
2:38 fix I I got nothing for that
2:42 one my my space my space no no wait it's
2:47 in a square no it's a square my my space
2:50 is a square nope terrible terrible everything about it is
2:54 terrible all right I got to get logged into uh twitch here which is such an
2:58 ordeal the way that we have it set up because you know okay I can't give any
3:03 details because it has a lot to do with the way that we have our account secured
3:08 but let me put it this way it's not easy it is not easy to lock into our Twitch
3:13 account are we doing the first topic first is that um is that what's
3:17 happening yeah why don't we do the first topic first we got a lot of actually
3:20 really good topics for you guys today uh first up is going to
3:24 be ah yes to relaunch curse as social
3:28 twitch desk top app so this is the
3:32 original article here is from The Verge and as someone who hasn't due to having
3:39 children and whatnot um who hasn't had a ton of time for gaming in the last five
3:44 years wow yeah I know I know I'm
3:47 basically an old man at this point except that old people you get old
3:51 enough that you actually could have time for gaming again
3:55 30 no balls three kids I I have balls
3:59 they just just don't work # no balls in the chat please
4:04 um okay you know that the chat bot will ban them right if it that's the plan if
4:09 it turns into a Spam Fest yeah so anyone who listens to Nick ends up
4:17 banned um so okay so tell me then as
4:20 someone who may have actually looked at the curse app at some
4:25 point or another yeah what's up what is it why would anyone care cuz I it's been
4:30 installed as what I perceived as junk wear on my stuff to be honest with you
4:35 curse was like kind of after my time as
4:38 well which is really sad because now I'm an old person too um but yeah I think it
4:45 was mainly just like a chat app that had some type of integration with some games
4:50 um so it was steam but like not steam
4:54 yeah I think it was meant to be like a voice and text chat service essentially
4:59 I might be wrong um but that that was my
5:02 understanding so it's Discord but older and not
5:06 Discord I I think so so anyway the new I
5:09 mean twitch chat let us know let us know if we're wrong here because here's okay
5:14 so here's my problems right off the bat m is that there
5:19 are it's it's like an overflow there are
5:23 so many ways for gamers to communicate
5:26 with each other while they're gaming there's The Voice and text chat that's
5:31 built into the game there's the one that's built into your overlay through
5:36 whatever online platform you purchased your game through if you're a smart
5:40 person who purchases their games through an online platform so there's that then
5:45 there's centralized Services lots of people still use Skype but there's ones
5:50 like Discord for example then there's selfhosted Solutions like Mumble
5:56 ventrillo um I mean do we do we need do
5:59 we need one run by twitch um I don't think so and okay people in the chat are
6:03 saying no you're wrong curse is a mod platform for wow yeah like 10 years ago
6:09 curse was a big mod platform for wow what we're talking about is Curse Voice
6:13 which was what is being translated into twitch is twitch's desktop app here is
6:18 what my assumption is um so yes curse
6:22 used to be a mod platform for Wow uh as far as I know it hasn't been that mainly
6:26 in a number of years but yeah I I really don't understand
6:30 why this needs to be a thing like Discord is pretty much the easiest thing
6:35 to use that I've found um but there's
6:38 tons of self-hosted stuff there is you know even like going back to the old
6:43 days of Skype when Skype used to be used for gaming um I I I really don't
6:49 understand what the kind of like value that's being added here is
6:56 um and here's something that's really funny to me is is
7:00 like it feels like everyone else wants
7:04 to move things to mobile and move things to web apps MH and here it is a desktop
7:10 app now with that said as someone who does genuinely prefer having a desktop
7:15 app like Google Hangouts which by the way this is hilarious Google is
7:21 rebranding their yes their messaging
7:24 service again um so so yeah we'll talk more
7:28 about that later I would love it if that's one of my main
7:31 issues with Google Hangouts is that there isn't like a first-party Google
7:35 Hangouts desktop application and that it has to run in my browser in a Gmail tab
7:40 or or I can pop it out and I could like have it all over the place but it's very disorganized I would prefer if it was
7:45 just a desktop app I just don't really see why for gamers it is considered a
7:50 boon to have more crap uh running in the
7:53 background so the app's going to include Community servers screen sharing which
7:58 like why not just use a business platform if you're going to be screen sharing why would you need to screen
8:02 share when you're gaming voice and video messaging and
8:08 game content distribution so same thing
8:12 like you could get mods or whatever else on it I guess it's meant to give game
8:16 give streamers followers a place to connect but doesn't Discord already do
8:19 that and keep people okay so here finally we get to the meat and potatoes
8:23 of it and keep people on the site after game streams have ended with features
8:29 like communities twitch creative and twitch presents so as far as I can tell
8:34 they pretty much went like hey lots of streamers using Discord to manage their
8:40 communities why don't we just like phase
8:43 them out okay I mean I guess okay well now
8:47 the strategy is clear at least we've got that sorted out
8:51 yeah um so I guess that's that's that's
8:54 what it is yeah so the launch is on March 16th and existing curse users will
8:58 be upgrading to the new version just like that enjoy it's uh it's kind of a
9:04 it's kind of a funny thing like do you feel a little bit like a um do you feel
9:08 a little bit like a like a baseball player where you just kind of get we
9:12 getting traded you know like when when one company that you've you're kind of
9:17 you've got your loyalty to yeah does anyone still use Razer comms speaking of
9:22 uh do Razer com still a thing oh yeah or is it part of like synaps now no Razer
9:28 commoms is a thing razor coms look at this you can see you
9:31 can tell something's a thing when it doesn't just have like the the top the
9:36 top line here when it has like lots of other crap under it that's important
9:39 mind you some of this is Razer coms L scouter okay I don't know what that is
9:44 but mobile to desktop free in-game
9:47 overlay connecting Made Easy okay all right um I forget what the point I
9:51 forget what the point I was trying to make was I completely forget what the point I
9:56 was trying to make was
9:59 okay so twitch is getting this thing oh yeah yeah yeah yeah right we're like you
10:04 you sign up for a service or you give your like you create a profile with a
10:08 company and you give them personal information like your your phone number
10:11 your email your payment your payment details or whatever the case may be and
10:16 just like you know one day you're you're Jose cono and you're like you're
10:20 literally out in the field playing and
10:24 it gets announced on the news that you've been you've been traded you've
10:28 been traded now you belong to someone else uhhuh and they can just sort of
10:33 acquire it they can Rebrand it they can change the features the entire Vision
10:36 can change and as a user you have no
10:40 influence here at all does it bother you that you can be a
10:47 twitch streamer so I mean we're okay because it's one thing as just a user
10:51 but let's say you've invested significant time whether it's U
10:56 developing a mod or whether it's building a following on a platform
11:00 perfect example of that was um oh that stupid platform that I never got into
11:05 Vine right vine where just like boom no now we're Twitter yep no Vines uh just
11:11 if you don't have Twitter followers if you're just a a pure Viner you're done you're dead um where twitch can just
11:17 kind of go oh yeah we're we're selling to Amazon then curse okay yeah we're selling to Twitch which is owned by
11:23 Amazon and it's just like it's almost like an exercise in just kind of
11:26 collecting users I mean yeah that's at
11:30 the end of the day that's kind of what it seems like right and that's you know the game that a lot of people nowadays
11:36 including us to agree you're playing is like how do you get more eyeballs you
11:41 know what I mean like the acquisition of twitch is all about okay how do we
11:45 integrate Amazon products into this thing that's already garnering you know
11:49 hundreds of thousands to millions of unique users per day and sell through
11:53 that um so yeah from a user perspective
11:58 it kind of feels you know it just feels crappy to
12:02 kind of go okay well here's this thing that maybe I really liked maybe I really
12:05 liked Cur voice maybe I really liked you know the way twitch was before Amazon
12:09 and now it changes but the you know there's always two
12:14 sides to the coin yeah okay fair enough
12:17 um what's with your obsession with Jose
12:20 Cano I like came in your office the other day and you were like looking up
12:23 like Jose cono steroid something okay
12:27 okay so the the the back okay backstory there you it's not here right now but I
12:31 was trying to I end up on these tangents sometimes when I'm writing no kidding so
12:37 no kidding so I was writing up my video on the LG gram
12:42 2017 and I wanted a way to describe the
12:46 change in the battery life okay so what
12:50 LG did was they increased the overall
12:53 weight of the unit by about 10% uhhuh of
12:57 which all of of it is pure battery just
13:01 like cramming in more battery so the
13:05 line in the video I wanted it to be it was like going to be like more roided up
13:09 than x and I was trying to figure out what could possibly be the most roided
13:14 up thing on earth and so I ended up doing a bunch of
13:19 sometimes just for one reference or one
13:23 line in a script cuz I think the the finished script ends up being something
13:26 like more wred up than uh late 90s
13:29 baseball or early 9s baseball or something early 90s MLB I think is what
13:33 I say um and in order to write that line
13:36 and make sure I get like the era right and make sure it's about as roided up as
13:40 anything can be I actually end hour and a half of research I end up down these
13:44 rabbit holes where I'm like okay so is it cono or Maguire you know who's the
13:49 who do we who who who royed the most wasn't Bon's part of that era too uh
13:54 well I think bonds never admitted it so and like I didn't want to because
13:57 remember too it's more than just me getting the era of the roiding right
14:03 it's making sure that it's confirmed and and that I'm not going to get sued for
14:06 liable um or like defamatory statements or whatever the I mean can you imagine
14:12 if that was the end of this story if like I busted my butt and built
14:18 this company and all these people came together and helped me run this company
14:23 and we were all like doing a great job and kicking ass steroids so YouTube
14:27 kicked you off not I'm like you don't get kicked off
14:32 YouTube for doing steroids no but but if I made a careless
14:37 comment about some baseball player who
14:41 may even have been on steroids and they
14:45 come after us they sue us they sue my pants off and I can't yeah you know get
14:50 my pants back on and twitch knocks me
14:54 off their platform for not having pants on that could happened did you see the
15:00 guy on the news this morning who likely wasn't wearing pants the thing where like he was on the he was interviewing
15:05 about Korea he's like a Korea expert his kids come into the room and he's just
15:09 he's sitting there at the table like this and just like looking back and then
15:12 like somebody comes in and wrangles the kids but he doesn't move an inch I'm like that dude is not wearing
15:19 pants the second I saw that I'm like that dude's only got brief on man holy
15:24 I mean holy crap sorry
15:27 oops this is the PG show okay I'm not
15:31 I'm not on the the live TV very often uh
15:35 the CIA listed blackberry's car software
15:39 as a possible Target so the original article here is from Bloomberg there's
15:44 there was a big thing with Wikileaks this week we're not going to get too far
15:48 into it but we thought this was pretty interesting just cuz Blackberry is one
15:52 of the few Canadian Tech firms that
15:55 remains and news news about black is
15:58 this just an ad news about Blackberry really couldn't get much worse than it's
16:02 uh than it's been over the last yeah well ever since Steve Jobs stood on
16:07 stage and went this is the thing that is going to absolutely crush the rest of
16:12 the smartphone market y um so in a
16:15 nutshell oh man like they're trying to Rebrand around security um but in a
16:20 nutshell on Tuesday Wikileaks released over 8,000 CIA documents some of which
16:24 detail cyber attacks on iOS and Android phones Samsung smart TVs oh the Samsung
16:30 Smart TV one was really creepy uh what
16:33 what was the detail of that details of that one again I can't remember top to
16:36 the effect of like it infects your TV with malware and puts it in like a fake
16:43 off mode so that even when it's off it's
16:46 still recording like everything essentially yeah there we go uh it's
16:51 called the the Weeping Angel tool um and so the CIA could listen in on Samsung
16:57 Smart TVs and it's like I don't know about you guys but I watch
17:00 all kinds of stuff on my TV
17:06 okay right you know you know what I'm saying I mean big screen TV right 4K I
17:11 mean what are we using Lord of the Rings not necessarily lord of the something
17:16 lord lord of the something I mean there's there's rings
17:20 out there let me tell you about Rings
17:23 okay wow wow well that got off the rails fast
17:28 uh I think I think there were a few of those in the weirdest purchases on
17:31 Amazon yeah I think there were a few of those anyway so blackberry's Automotive
17:37 software was specifically mentioned as a potential Mission area by the CIA
17:42 embedded devices Branch it's used by 60
17:45 million cars it's unclear at this time if the CIA moved forward with the
17:49 attacks but Blackberry basically said the only thing they can say we are not
17:53 currently aware of any attacks or exploits against Blackberry products or
17:57 services that's actually that's a very broad
18:01 statement yeah we are not aware of any attacks or exploits against Blackberry
18:06 products or Services a very very uh strong blanket statement yeah but
18:10 they're not currently aware so they definitely could be
18:15 um so they make uh specialized operating
18:18 systems for Industrial Products like this Q andx makes uh the wind turbines
18:23 anti-tank missiles and most importantly incar infotainment systems which by the
18:28 way are terrible we should do a video on like incar infotainment system done
18:34 right I was shopping for a Min van um
18:37 back about wow a year ago almost back about six six eight months ago something
18:41 like that yeah and I drove a used one that was from like 2005 or 2006 like it
18:47 really wait what year is it now 17 crap no it was newer than that sorry
18:52 it was like 2015 or 2016 or something like that you thought it was 2007 just
18:56 shut up okay
19:01 just anywh who um the one I was driving
19:06 was the Rees so rear Entertainment System version Oh yeah and so I crawled
19:11 back to look at it I'm like this is the worst TN panel I've ever seen are you
19:16 for real composite and S Video in I mean
19:20 that was all it had it wasn't even like it might not have been two or three
19:24 years old like it was right before a refresh or something like that and it
19:28 but it wasn't like 10 years old either and I was like this is stupid you got to
19:32 be able to do better than this so that was when I was kind of inspired I think we should do something around that at
19:36 some point I agree um I think um you
19:40 know the the counter to the to this uh you know the concern about they have all
19:46 these exploits blah blah blah blah blah blah blah that I've been hearing you
19:49 know people in the no making is okay well don't you want us to have access to
19:54 these that we know what people are capable of and so that we can spy on
20:00 potentially dangerous people but we all know like but aren't that that's that's
20:04 like if that was really the objective they'd be closing the back doors yeah
20:09 yeah exactly and that's that's the thing where it's like yeah if you guys were
20:14 being totally honest that these would not be a thing anymore so okay let's
20:18 wrap up this topic and then I've actually got a a new one that I was
20:22 inspired by an email I just received to cover because it feels like it's
20:26 something that I really should have talked about a long time ago and I'm
20:30 going to I'm going to do it once and for all now so maybe I won't get these emails anymore um actually I guess
20:36 that's pretty much it so security research showed they could hack into a
20:39 Jeep taking control away from the driver on the highway Blackberry was quick to say it Tech wasn't involved in that
20:43 breach um but yeah anyway uh okay so I
20:50 just got an email um from someone asking
20:53 about like under licens doing a French version of the WAN Show and I get people
20:59 messaging me about this all the time uh you know we'd love to work with you to
21:05 create like a UK branch office of lonus
21:08 Media Group or we'd love to work with
21:11 you guys to create a Punjabi version of
21:14 your reviews or whatever the case may be
21:18 and the answer is no because the thing that is special
21:25 about lonus tech tips or the W show or
21:31 um what what do we do all day Techquickie or Channel Super Fun sleep is
21:37 not the idea of having a
21:42 podcast about what happened in the
21:46 technology world this week that's been done people tune in to the W show for
21:51 some inexplicable reason that goes
21:54 beyond that apparently um because
21:58 because if it were as simple as taking
22:01 the approximate format of the W show which quite frankly doesn't have much of
22:05 a format it's probably the least formatted show there is I mean basically
22:09 okay here's the format we have a list of topics we're going to maybe talk about
22:15 them a lot of the time we don't um that's that's the format no no I I I I'm
22:19 going to take you guys deep inside the bowels
22:23 up uh okay what are you talking about no
22:28 bowels is not necessarily the rectum like like like bowel where I was going
22:32 bowels of the earth is not like dirty can you get to the point okay so I'm
22:37 going to take you guys deep inside the bowels of the inner workings of Linus
22:41 Media Group and the inspiration for the
22:44 W show was some other Tech podcast that
22:49 I had never actually watched but I was vaguely aware of I was
22:55 like okay like this format people seem
22:58 to be watching it let's like kind of do
23:02 that but then I never actually watched it and I just kind of like was like okay
23:07 we'll just look at like we'll make it the forum's problem we'll just look at
23:11 the tech news subsection of the Forum and we'll incentivize people to post
23:16 Tech news there by calling out that they posted Tech news there on this show and
23:21 we'll create a positive feedback loop where effectively our show will get
23:24 written for us just by hosting a show
23:29 that was where the WAN Show came from I was like we don't have time we don't
23:33 have time to do seven video uploads per week if we set aside an hour and a half
23:40 on Fridays to good Lord to host to just sit
23:45 there then that content kind of makes itself that's the inspiration for the W
23:50 show and that's why the vibe of the W
23:53 show is that it's just like me and Luke
23:57 or me and someone else else or Luke and someone else or someone else and someone
24:00 else goofing around on a Friday afternoon talking about tech because
24:06 that's all it really was we needed to fill an upload slot and we had this
24:10 great resource that was our community sitting there discussing the tech that
24:13 they thought was most relevant and we figured hey let's take those two things
24:18 and let's put them together Boom the lcho was born it's like I don't know a
24:22 lot of the time people I think think we have like some master plan master plan
24:30 a
24:35 of the master plan's usually about 30%
24:38 plan and 170% execution that's right yeah just
24:44 just we have this vague idea it's like on a whiteboard that like someone like
24:49 that someone knocked over and then kind of rubbed across the carpet so you can't
24:52 okay here's step one and step two step three four five 6 TBD we're just going
24:57 to do it let's just go a lot of the time there isn't even a profit plan like w
25:01 show these days is actually one of our easiest spots to sell the sponsors is
25:06 that still correct I don't know I don't do that anymore like does anyone do that
25:10 anymore I don't think are we I don't know okay well anyway um we
25:16 we'll take that meeting offline
25:19 um anyway for at least some time the W
25:23 show was one of the it we had no idea
25:26 how we were going to make money on the we were just like you know what um TWiT
25:30 TV is a thing mhm all they do is
25:33 podcasts there must be a business model here so let's just create a podcast with
25:39 all those other factors that I that I told you guys and like surely someone
25:44 will want to get involved at some point maybe someone will watch it and if they
25:49 do then maybe sponsors will care oh that
25:52 was that was the master plan anyway getting back to your point about people
25:58 you were talking about regionalizing our ideas stuff it's about the people who
26:02 are in the video you know usually um it's not necessarily about the format of
26:07 the show or what's on the screen outside of the people who are in it the idea of
26:12 creating a video reviewing the iPhone 7
26:16 is not good I mean it's a good idea but
26:19 it's not a unique idea it's not going to like it's not going to make it so that
26:24 the French version of The W show or the Indian version of lonus tech tips or
26:29 whatever the case may be it's not going to make that successful if you want to
26:34 have a podcast and you want to have a
26:38 tech review YouTube channel or Daily
26:41 Motion Channel or whatever they're French um do it you shouldn't be
26:47 licensing our brand to do it that's not
26:50 going to make you successful that's like um so so this was this was actually a
26:54 great conversation that I had back when I was doing the house painting okay so
26:59 the guy who runs uh student Works painting in western Canada bought rights
27:05 to the name from the guy who runs it in
27:08 Eastern Canada and those two companies
27:12 have zero affiliation financially I I'm
27:16 pretty sure they don't even write each other Christmas cards in fact I don't
27:19 think the relationship is very good but then he has to pay money to the other
27:23 guy I don't think it's ongoing I think he bought it bought a license bought it
27:26 bought the license like outright bought the rights to the name so they could
27:30 they would carve up the the the territory that way and what he said was
27:34 that was one of the biggest mistakes he ever made because why no one in western
27:41 Canada had heard of student Works painting he might have he might as well
27:45 have called it ass Works painting I mean
27:48 probably not that but but the point is he could have called it pro- student
27:54 painting or student summer painting or
27:57 what whatever it doesn't matter wouldn't have had to pay a licensing fee the idea
28:01 is just as good and it's ultimately came down to him to hustle and build the
28:06 brand anyway regardless of that name MH
28:10 and in much the same way that nobody should license the idea of making
28:16 reaction videos from the Fine Brothers
28:19 nobody should license the idea of the wow from us so I'm not saying that like
28:25 you're stupid for wanting to have a French Tech podcast great idea I'm
28:31 saying that what's a bad idea is trying
28:34 to clone what we're doing because you should be out there trying to do your
28:39 thing finding what someone else is doing and copying it is not successful in fact
28:44 well it could be but I mean it won't necessarily lead to success in fact it
28:50 is my personal belief that one of the things that works about lonus Media
28:54 Group is the fact that when we try to copy something it's often without having
29:00 ever watched the original where we just take the idea and
29:04 then it's really mostly our own ideas like I think you know and and this is
29:09 sort of this is me kind of going off on even more of a tangent one of the things
29:13 that I think is really cool about the way that we make videos is that I don't
29:17 have any formal video production training at all everything that we've
29:21 done has been through trial and error and I think that you see not okay not
29:26 everything we have people here who are anyway to wrap it up my ideas are
29:30 usually trial and error why don't we say it that way to wrap it up you should be
29:34 doing your own thing don't you know try to follow in the footsteps of somebody
29:38 else of course you should take influence from others who inspire you and who make
29:43 you want to create and do what you do Be Inspired don't license yes Be Inspired
29:47 don't license and um just grind hard and
29:51 and you'll you'll make it happen so this is this is what like I just work hard
29:56 and bust your butt growth curve looks like you might not ever this is CES that
30:00 like doesn't count count so is this and so is oh no wait no this is computex so
30:05 so is this so is this the these spikes these are these are CES spikes um so
30:10 what you're really looking at here is just slow and steady wins the race have
30:14 new ideas try new things iterate on them see what works see what doesn't keep
30:18 what works throw away what doesn't by the way you're fired all right later I
30:23 didn't realize this was a motivational speaking podcast I thought this was about technology well the W that's the
30:28 thing is the W show is about whatever the W show is about that's and that's
30:31 part of what makes the W show special as well am I actually fired like I would
30:34 love to go play breath of the Wild next week instead of coming to work no you're
30:39 not fired you had your time off you spent it at Disneyland you could have
30:43 been playing breath of the wild that is not my problem that's true do you have
30:47 you played much breath of the wild how is it uh it's excellent it's like my
30:51 favorite game in years literally um so
30:54 I'm down yeah it's excellent It's like probably one of the best uh open World
30:59 Games I've ever played like hands down so like climbing a mountain in that game
31:05 is fun really to me at least like there's like
31:10 challenge in exploring the scenery cool
31:14 which is like something that I haven't experienced in a game before and of
31:17 course there are problems with it and some of it gets repetitive and blah blah blah blah blah but it is the most fun
31:22 I've had in a video game in years so I
31:25 might have to play it then yeah I don't even have a Wii U you can borrow mine
31:29 after okay sold yeah done sold uh next
31:33 topic thank you physical media heck yeah actually do we need new sponsors uh oh I
31:38 don't know maybe I don't know what time it is because this is set to the wrong time 40 minutes in 40 minutes in okay
31:43 yeah sure why don't we do uh speaking of the W show being uh being a good draw
31:48 for sponsors Colton is does the w show still sell well yeah yeah yeah okay cool
31:53 good job people like people like the W show people like the W show sponsors like the W show okay people like the W
31:58 show people like the W show it's easy to
32:01 sell why uh why is this why am I not able to open up a new freaking window
32:06 here you doing wow I'm I said frecking frecking is not a swear word said fre
32:11 you know what eat eat a dick that
32:15 wow good thing we have the new audio set up so hopefully that didn't hopefully
32:19 you didn't just destroy everybody's ears
32:22 um yeah some people consider dick a swear word well it is no it's a dirty
32:28 dirty word it is not a dirty dirty word you just have to shower once in a while
32:32 get the cheese off and on that note wait there's
32:36 there's food down there the
32:40 uh I wouldn't tell you to eat it if there wasn't any
32:49 food I'm done and we killed Nick Nick's
32:53 done Nick's done um
32:59 oh yeah I mean it's it's a terrible show
33:04 you you don't want to have this show you don't want to be the one responsible for
33:07 this show really want be talking about dick cheese yeah oh my God this is a
33:12 tech show okay can you keep things respectable please oh yeah me uhhuh
33:18 totally okay Tech topic Tech topic then we'll do sponsors I don't want the
33:22 sponsors to accidentally tune in too early tune dick and realize realize what
33:27 that's what they're paying for okay so cladin posted on the Forum
33:34 um is this the yeah okay what has been a oh by the way huge shout out to cladin
33:39 for being a Floatplane
33:42 pilot after sponsors we should tell people what's on FL yeah we should
33:45 definitely do that um so as I was looking on YouTube about riseing
33:49 overclock and blippity bloy overclock sleep bug etc etc uh basically the
33:55 summary of all of this is that um and
33:58 we've done a fair bit of Investigation we're working on our own overclocking
34:01 guide but when the high Precision event
34:04 timer is off if your machine goes to
34:09 sleep then wakes up your benchmarks will
34:14 appear to have higher scores okay so
34:18 this is actually because the system timer is running slow so Windows is
34:24 clock and anything that uses
34:27 timing is actually slowed by a fair margin so benchmarks which measure
34:32 compute time will score higher so I
34:36 believe these notes are from Anthony hold on one second hey Anthony those
34:40 cine bench scores those are your scores right okay cool thanks man okay so we
34:47 got 1750 in cinebench pre-sleep put the
34:52 machine to sleep woke it back up over
34:55 2,000 so there seems to be a fair bit of
34:59 confusion out there right now around ryzen performance because if people are
35:05 reporting benchmark scores based on some
35:09 of the tips and tricks out there that involve turning off H pet and going to
35:14 sleep and waking those benchmarks are
35:17 not actually representative of Real Performance to be clear ryzen does
35:23 perform very well but what this seems to
35:26 IND to us and actually hold on I'm just going to hey
35:31 Anthony uh our scores on the Crosshair
35:35 did not change after we uh disabled H
35:40 pet as long as we didn't go to sleep
35:47 right got it okay so our review was done
35:51 with hpet on because we didn't receive
35:55 the reviewer guidance that H might be bugged on the Crosshair on would be
36:00 correct right correct scores on means that our scores while maybe not quite
36:08 optimal are at least not affected by the timer button not affected by the bug
36:13 that makes them appear artificially inflated okay so there you go
36:20 um yeah so the window sleep bug makes
36:24 AMD ryzen overclock High and gives better Benchmark results so it
36:30 requires further investigation which is why our OC guide is coming out probably
36:34 next week or the week after and not this
36:38 week so like as a relative Layman like
36:41 what would cause something like that do we have any
36:44 idea basically the the Scuttle
36:48 butt is that AMD could have delayed the
36:53 launch of ryzen and squashed some of the
36:56 these types of bugs um these bugs don't
37:00 appear to affect like you know they
37:04 don't appear to cause risk of user data loss or anything devastating like that
37:10 but that there are some definite early
37:13 adopter um quirks quirks and Oddities
37:18 that could have been fairly easily dealt with if they had put it off a little bit
37:23 longer okay so that is sort of the
37:27 that's our takeaway and you know why I I
37:30 know the question's coming because it's a question that I ask and we debate it
37:35 internally and and it's a fair question um why not report on this in the ryzen
37:41 launch review and the reason for that is because we can say with a very high
37:46 degree of confidence that smart people
37:49 like AMD and ASUS are going to get their
37:53 heads together they're going to get feedback from early adopter users who
37:57 again it is my personal belief know or
38:00 should know what they're getting themselves into buying a brand new CPU
38:04 on a brand new chipset running a brand new memory controller brand new PCIe
38:09 controller brand new freaking everything it is my belief that AMD and ASUS will
38:14 solve little weird bugs in short order
38:20 that review covering the performance of the ryzen 1800 x has to sit there for
38:26 the next decade if all goes according to plan and I'm not going to spend you know
38:31 20% of my video the the precious little
38:34 time that I have to talk to you guys talking about some weird crap we ran
38:39 into that by the time you buy one by the time it gets put in a box and gets
38:45 transported on a truck to your house and you plug it in is going to be irrelevant
38:50 so that's why we tend not to overdo it on that stuff and the concern is
38:55 obviously there with you know what if this is causing people to
39:01 make purchasing decisions based on you know inflated benchmarks numbers etc etc
39:05 etc um which our numbers are not inflated Y which our numbers are not
39:09 inflated and the other concern is causing people to avoid purchasing
39:14 something that is legitimately very good
39:17 because of a very small issue that will be ironed out in a number of days yeah
39:21 yeah so or weeks or whatever whatever it ends up being that's that's where we're
39:26 at okay okay another thing people can stop messaging me about paladon 123
39:31 Canadians don't like this okay what time is it in can we have we have four and a
39:35 half time zones okay it is many times in Canada Canada's
39:40 really big we have lots of trees rocks
39:43 water oil and time zones that's what we
39:47 have not a lot of people we do all live in Igloo
39:50 though but at different times sponsors
39:55 sponsors fresh books Let's see how well you know your freshbooks talking points
39:59 how Rusty are you freshbooks is the super simple easy to ous Cloud
40:04 Accounting Service that you can use for your small business environment so you
40:09 can uh you can enter all of your
40:13 receipts oh now I can tell you're reading no no no you were doing really well up until then no I wasn't you can
40:18 you can uh you can invoice people directly through the app and then you can tell if they've read the invoice
40:23 that's something special um Colton's judging me right now so I'm losing track
40:27 of uh of My Talking Points uh you do
40:30 like the hip thing you do the hip thing when you're judging you're like you're
40:35 like angry the angry girl no no yeah yeah when you're when you stand you
40:39 stand like this and when you judge you judge like
40:44 this wow yeah I guess so okay yeah see
40:47 that that right there that is all the body language you need for judging you
40:52 can cross the arms if you want to amp it up you know what in in the words of a
40:56 great woman Shakira your hips don't
41:00 lie anyway fresh books lets you track your expenses it lets you track your
41:05 hours it lets you look like you're a
41:08 professional even if you're like not an accounting wizard um it makes you look
41:14 like you actually know what you're doing and it actually makes you more organized
41:18 so you can spend your time fixing people's computers or teaching Pottery
41:23 or doing whatever it is that you do as a small business owner or freelancer
41:28 instead of dinking around with complicated accounting software you
41:31 could uh you could uh rethread badminton rackets it's called stringing they're
41:37 strings not threads thread same thing no no credibility same credibility see that
41:42 door right there it's out it same uh anyway head over to freshbooks.com give
41:47 it a try and they actually recently got a Mobile card reader so remember how I
41:51 was complaining complaining that Incognito tabs were an opening on my
41:54 computer no do you see they're just like popping I clicked it like 30 times and
41:58 they're just like popping up every once in a while this this alien wear quality
42:02 right here bug report actually I have no idea at the it probably just needs a
42:05 reboot um oh yeah I'm working on a review of the new Alienware 13 so that's
42:10 coming soon what's different about it KB Lake that's all uh but I'm I in order to
42:17 make sure that uh okay so this is okay I guess we'll split up the sponsors today
42:20 in order to make sure that I'm not okay this is something I've struggled with
42:24 tell me more in the earlier days of the channel M I would pretty much avoid um
42:32 reviewing a laptop unless it was a new
42:35 shell sure so do you know what I mean by shell uh yeah like clams are in them
42:41 right no so laptops get refreshed a
42:44 number of ways they can get like a single like okay they can get a spec
42:48 update where they might get like um a
42:51 new buildout that you can do for it for example now available with 32 gigs of
42:55 RAM where they have haven't materially changed anything about the actual product here they're just giving you
42:59 different options okay they can receive a uh like a like a complete internal
43:05 upgrade so they could get like new motherboard um and that in that case
43:09 you'd usually be required to build a new motherboard for like a sky Lake to KB
43:14 Lake upgrade or something along those lines um they can get or like a new
43:18 graphics card in these These Days especially for thin and lights usually
43:21 requires a new motherboard because it's built right into the same board um or
43:25 you can get a shell or um or like a
43:30 chassis upgrade where there's like a significant change to the io or the
43:34 keyboard the screen because for us a lot
43:37 of what we review about a laptop is the usability the the day today interaction
43:43 with the device and so trackpad display that's right so if the only change like
43:48 the weight we care about things like that so if the only change is that we
43:53 went from a 6700 HQ to a uh 7700
44:01 HQ um which for all intent and purpose
44:04 is very very similar then I don't have a ton to say about it other than maybe we
44:08 got some battery life Improvement but in order to make sure that the piece of
44:12 content that I'm making is materially different from last time um I had them
44:16 send over their uh graphics accelerator external GPU thing so they sent over one
44:21 of those and I'm going to Tool around with that and the review will really be
44:25 focused on that rather than and I'll make some comments on the kbl lake
44:29 upgrade but there's not much to say it's still a great laptop I still love it um
44:33 but now with an external GPU um quick spoiler are they uh certifying any
44:39 Brands other than Alienware for that external dog no so there uses a
44:43 proprietary interface oh right yes yep instead of Thunderbolt but what I also
44:47 do want to do this time around is I want to look closer at whether the razor core
44:53 will work with this because I had an experience recently on the Dell
44:57 inspiring gaming was it the inspiring gaming or was it something else I've
45:01 actually looked at a lot of Dell stuff this year we finally like know the right
45:04 people at Dell to to get laptops in so
45:08 we can hi uh yeah uh the XPS uh 21 maybe
45:13 yeah yeah that's the one it was it was the um XPS 13 2 in1 12 13 whatever it
45:18 was anyway the point is that thing um
45:21 when I plugged in a razor core with an external graphics card in it it's
45:26 specifically said there was a message that came up not supported but if I just
45:30 told that message to GTFO my desktop then it works then it actually worked so
45:35 I got scared off by that message last time I had an Alienware 13 in the shop
45:40 and I never really pursued it any further so what I want to know when I'm
45:44 investigating this and its external Graphics solution how does it stack up
45:48 how does it Stack Up Howes the performance compare because those kinds
45:52 of apples to apples comparisons are lots of fun for me and I know that the whole external graphics card thing is still in
45:57 its infancy like most people are not that interested in it right now but I
46:00 mean that's that's where I get my jollies right like weirdo Tech that's
46:05 going to be like accessible 3 five years from now but that is like really buggy
46:10 and you know entertaining therefore for me to play around with on my weekends
46:13 that I would otherwise spend with my children somebody wants you to know that
46:17 Del ins spy run is supposed to be like the word
46:21 inspiration INSP Inspiron I don't care
46:24 Inspiron in Squarespace you know what Squarespace is supposed to be like a
46:29 greatl looking website that's affordable with tons of features you know what
46:33 inspiration is like Squarespace that was that didn't even
46:38 work that wasn't even funny that wasn't funny do you really your sponsor spots
46:42 is funny because I don't have to deal with the Fallout anymore yeah that is
46:47 funny all right so Squarespace let's you build a beautiful website on your terms
46:53 as long as your terms involve picking one of their 20
46:56 beautiful templates rearranging all the text and pictures to make it say what
47:01 you want it to say and having it boom
47:04 instantly be live ready for the world to see and be Rock Solid reliable our
47:09 Squarespace site has never been down linusmediagroup tocom has never been
47:15 down and we've been working with Squarespace for like three plus years
47:20 now maybe maybe more yeah a long time since like well before we moved like
47:26 yeah 2014 2013 era it starts at 12 bucks

47:49 they've got support for Apple news format so you can use the blog module to
47:53 publish to millions of potential readers
47:56 and uh yeah I mean what is what is there to say about Squarespace other than that
48:00 it really is unless you have some very
48:04 specific like really out there needs it really is the best way to just get a
48:09 website up have it look and work great
48:13 and just not have to think about it anymore so uh when you decide to sign up
48:17 for Squarespace they do have a free trial head over to squarespace.com when
48:21 and use offer code when to save 10% speaking of saving 10% you could
48:26 save a lot more than 10% with our last sponsor I fix it by fixing your own
48:31 Electronics I fix it's great the odds if you've ever had something that's broken
48:36 Google pixel Alienware computer um um
48:41 chair no probably not a chair it's mostly focused on electronics but if
48:45 you've ever had something that's broken and you've searched for a guide on how
48:48 to really got to walk right in front of the camera you search for a guide on how
48:53 to take it apart or how to fix it how to replace a a screen how to replace a
48:56 battery you've probably encountered their website but what you might not
49:00 know is that aside from the beautifully written well pictured guides are
49:04 beautifully Illustrated guides they also have a complete lineup of tools
49:08 including everything from screwdrivers in the Protech toolkit here to their
49:12 basic tool kit I forget what that one's called exactly what's what's it called
49:17 um Essentials Essentials to I think that's right well we're going to call it
49:20 Essentials toolkit don't worry about it anyway everything from the Protek toolkit to the essentials toolkit all
49:25 the way to like the fullsize bag that has this guy uh the other screwdriver
49:30 set like the little magnetic pad for putting screws on that uses um like an
49:34 overhead projector marker so you can label what everything is and where it
49:38 all goes the suction cups for moving displays they've got replacement parts
49:41 for things like the adhesive seals that go into certain products so we used that
49:45 back when we did our iMac upgrade guide they've got everything and it's all
49:49 backed by lifetime warranty oh this is interesting this is
49:52 in my notes um so check it out Canadian can apparently get cheaper shipping on
49:58 iFixit products through amazon.ca so here's a fun story a long time ago I
50:03 think it was like I don't even know how long a while ago there was a post on the
50:07 Forum where one of the Forum users was like Hey I really really like the iix
50:11 protect toolkit I really want to get one
50:15 I'm in Canada and it's like the shipping is like ridiculous like it's almost as
50:19 much as the toolkit itself right which sometimes unless you're shipping
50:23 enormous volume sometimes that's just reality of it that's how much UPS or
50:27 FedEx is charging so we passed along the feedback to Rix at rep and because of
50:33 the lonus tech tips audience Canadians now get a better deal on shipping
50:37 because they worked out a deal with their with their shipment provider so if
50:41 you guys are in Canada and you've been waiting to get a pro a Protek toolkit
50:45 cool you should go get one because the shipping is much more reasonable
50:48 nowadays so if you're not Canadian head over to ifixit.com
50:51 Linus when are we going to get that vanity URL fixed I've been chasing you
50:55 guys to fix those vanity URLs for like a year # blame Colton okay let's blame
51:00 Colton uh ifixit.com Linus use code wow
51:04 at checkout and you can save five bucks on a purchase of $10 or more I fix it
51:09 repair it beautiful repair it beautiful
51:12 what what was our other sponsor can we work that in as well fresh books fresh
51:16 books invo charge yeah in uh invoice the
51:21 repair job you did beautifully in fact these three sponsors could work together
51:25 really inv J Squarespace site I iix it tools
51:31 and fresh books accounting to keep track of everything this this is what we do
51:34 this is synergy we've which is another one of our sponsors synergistic
51:38 Management Solutions yeah Synergy why do
51:41 we even make YouTube videos anymore we could do we could I've been saying we
51:45 should be consultants for like since I started working here because Consultants
51:49 as far as I can tell just make buttloads of money doing not a whole lot just for
51:53 telling people things that are obvious you should do this $110,000 please it's like what
52:00 speaking of things that you should do you should care about the variety of AMD
52:07 motherboards coming out so there it is I
52:10 believe uh that's biostar with their uh racing brand um yeah biostar racing
52:16 brand yeah I know it's very racy it's like edgy but like the old
52:21 word for it I understand so here it is
52:25 first am4 motherboard pictured over on video cards.net uh there's a few things
52:30 that we can tell about it just from looking at it uh number one is that it
52:35 appears to run off of only a four pin connector so it is my expectation that
52:41 people would be um encouraged to run like a 1,700 or less on here like 65
52:46 watt chip although there's no reason that you couldn't get away with an 1800
52:50 x you just probably wouldn't be doing a ton of overclocking uh there's not much
52:53 in the way of vrm cooling here um so this looks like not like a a balls
52:58 to the wall like an Rog competitor but more like kind of a mainstream decent
53:03 board uh you got four SATA ports right
53:06 there no m.2 that I can see that's a
53:11 little discouraging unless it's on the back which I have seen in the past so
53:14 don't quote me on that USB 3 PCI E6 DNX
53:17 two RAM slots looking pretty good I mean to be fair they don't have much room on
53:21 that board to begin with they may have just been prioritizing like okay we're
53:25 hitting this certain budget Target we don't expect that people in this range
53:29 are going to be buying m.2 cards yet yeah you know what though this is
53:32 something I really wish that AMD had done differently with am4 is this socket
53:37 yeah so two things number one is AMD has
53:41 now done this
53:44 uh three times okay so they had their
53:48 original socket 940 okay then they had socket 754 so
53:54 those used a particular mounting system so it was a single screw on either side
54:00 and then it came out to like a plastic clip bracket thing like this and the
54:04 problem with that was that third party coolers only had two anchor points and
54:07 that was kind of crappy then they fixed it with uh crap I think 939 also still
54:14 had this so I think it was am am2 was
54:17 what the first one was called anyway they fixed it they put four posts but
54:21 like they still Mount their own stock coolers with this stupid thing so I kind
54:24 of went okay fine you I realize why you changed it this time I get it fine this
54:30 time all they did was move the Hool slightly so all they've done for no
54:34 apparent reason is kill backwards
54:38 compatibility with old am3 am2 am2 plus
54:42 coolers MH and they've still got all this bulky plastic crap all over the
54:47 socket like if they had gone and they had kind of like gone okay mounting
54:51 holes here like done something LGA 2011 style where it's just got threaded holes
54:55 in around the socket that would have been super cool um I really don't like
54:59 the way they did this cuz it takes up a lot of space it moved the mounting holes
55:03 and all of this as far as I can tell was done for no reason other than to
55:07 decrease compatibility with older coolers so that cooler manufacturers can
55:12 sell you a new am4 bracket or cooler like that's the that's the the tinf foil
55:16 hat guy in me kind of going I I really can't think of another reason they would
55:19 have done that not that tin foil um go back to it for a sec someone says lineus
55:23 on the back look next to audio you can see screw
55:26 holes
55:31 um yeah I can see screw holes wow would
55:34 never miss a screw hole uh next to audio yeah not
55:39 necessarily so I I do see these but uh
55:42 those okay and those look like m.2
55:46 mounts but they wouldn't actually go all the way through necessarily like that's
55:51 not what they would look like on this side I don't know what that is
55:55 um yeah so I didn't want to I didn't want to say definitively that that's
56:00 what that is if I wasn't there's a lot of people saying there is m.2 on this one so maybe it's on the back cool so
56:04 maybe it is yeah uh that's boring is
56:08 this interesting Facebook streaming major league soccer matches does anyone
56:12 care about this I mean people in the rest of the world apparently James does
56:16 people in like in here's the thing in Canada if you played soccer as a kid
56:21 like 95% of your games were rained or snowed out so like that's why no one
56:26 cares about it here
56:29 a okay so Facebook scores a deal to live
56:33 stream major league soccer match that and I'm pretty sure nobody cares about
56:39 MLS I think John does well yeah but JN
56:42 cares about every sporting league on earth like you could hey John do you
56:48 watch professional Cricket no would you no he says no okay
56:54 okay so okay so no Cricket all right never mind I take it back but but like
57:00 okay okay an a sport that's interesting
57:03 to Americans though I guarantee you he
57:06 follows not only like the the top League
57:09 like the national league but he follows like college and like the to be fair
57:14 sometimes even high school a lot of the college stuff that he follows is because
57:17 he went to Duke that's true he follows his college specifically and I think
57:21 that's much of a a much more significant thing in the states yeah oh yeah I hear
57:25 that's like super not a thing like I like I think UBC has a hockey team show
57:30 Thunderbirds Thunder
57:33 called yay let's do the do the Thunderbird
57:37 wave no no that's not no you got to you got to do the wave you got to do your I
57:42 was doing the Thunder this was the Thunderbird wave I'm not fully in frame
57:46 I don't know but I'm a bird that doesn't look like a Thunderbird that looks like
57:49 a freaking uh Nancy bird it's not a
57:53 car um Carin so Facebook has secured the
57:56 rights to stream at least 22 live Major League Soccer regular season matches in
58:01 English in 2017 and to enhance the video content with various interactive
58:05 elements like Facebook specific commentators interactive Graphics fan
58:09 Q&A and polling features um basically
58:14 the reason that the headline is like the nail in the TV coffin is that the money
58:20 in advertising is going to online
58:23 platforms uh online companies like Facebook and Google and the like and
58:28 it's gotten to the point where they're getting very close to being capable of
58:34 buying the rights to things like
58:38 broadcasting yeah live sports I don't think you guys talked about this last
58:42 week but YouTube TV um they have I think
58:46 40 40 channels that would include stuff
58:49 like live sports and um just broadcast
58:53 television and they've bought up the rights to this stuff and people are
58:56 saying that yeah TV is in massive trouble because of this because not only
59:01 do they have 40 channels it's only $35 a month compared to a cable subscription
59:05 which up here I think averages between $80 and $100 a month something like that
59:10 I wouldn't know I've never paid for one I have a bundle that's like really
59:14 discounted but um yeah I think a standard like decent cable package is
59:19 between $60 and $100 yeah so um
59:23 basically the point is and I I I see
59:26 Facebook as a I see what Facebook's doing as a bigger threat than what
59:30 YouTube's doing where as far as I can tell Facebook's uh approach here seems
59:36 to be give the content for free like
59:39 spend the buckets and buckets of cash
59:43 that you make by advertising to your user base something you're already doing
59:47 through other media uh through through other methods
59:51 anyway get keep people on the site drive
59:54 up more interaction by having this content basically eating the cost of the
59:58 content to get more data from you whereas I think YouTube is sort of in
60:04 between that where they're trying to get a more traditional subscription
60:09 fee from you with that said I don't think that it's impossible that Facebook
60:13 would try and get you to pay for a subscription at some point in the future
60:17 either Twitter Twitter did a similar thing uh I think this was just last year
60:22 um with the national football League the NFL um where they're doing some of the
60:27 games um and I believe it's a similar thing I don't I don't think that you
60:31 have to pay I haven't tried it um but I don't think you have to pay I think they're just eating the cost on
60:38 that oh my gosh Pizza Hut smart shoes
60:43 the original article here is from slashgear let's go ahead and bring that
60:48 up they do look amazing by the way I
60:51 would I would wear these like one of the stranger wearables um entirely
60:57 advertisement focused Pizza Hut smart
61:00 shoes um the shoes are high tops they refer to
61:04 them as pie tops only 64 pairs are being made all of the pairs will be giving to
61:09 the media and influ and individuals considered to be influencers can we can
61:14 we get some can we get one I want one we actually have a piece of content planned
61:18 soon called wearables that aren't crap um although I don't necessar okay I
61:23 don't want to Bridges with Pizza Hut as a potential future
61:27 sponsor but if I had to eat pizza it
61:31 would not be your first choice it would not be my first choice it wouldn't be my
61:35 second choice it would not be my third
61:38 choice to be fair we have some really good pizza joints around it wouldn't be
61:41 my chain choice to be fair we have some really
61:45 good pizza joints and Pano's a thing so Pano's a thing yeah so anyway we need to
61:49 get Panago as a sponsor yeah good luck well they're like aren't they like only
61:53 Western Canada really is that right yeah I assumed they were I think they're like
61:58 just BC in Alberta oh yeah yeah yeah
62:01 like we had a buddy who moved out here for school interesting ate Panago all
62:05 the time loved it moved back to Ontario and now he's like dude I wish I had
62:08 Panago yeah like it's it's still chain Pizza like it's not um what's that
62:13 really good local one uh Jims oh Jim's
62:16 Pizza is so good yeah it's so good it's not Jim's Pizza of which there are like
62:20 there's like two there's two locations in Langley and they're both in Lang
62:24 so go go screw yourself if you
62:28 want and I'm not talking langle Virginia okay oh dang sorry langly British sorry
62:34 CIA we know you're listening that's that's funny you made
62:40 up for the not funny thing you did earlier CU that was very funny uh so uh
62:46 the shoes themselves don't do the ordering but rather connect with a
62:49 special py Toops app to place a predesignated order um and and you just
62:54 press a button whether you can accidentally order a pizza if you cross your ankles remains to be
63:02 seen great okay so this was originally
63:06 posted on the Forum by cloaked and uh this is ridiculous yeah
63:13 so Google is um oh man this is just this
63:19 is just terrible so the original article here is from Android police Google
63:23 officially splits Hangouts into meet and
63:27 chat new apps what new apps meet and
63:33 chat why why oh
63:39 why wow this seems awful yeah it really
63:43 does so it's literally just Hangouts video and hangouts test text chat except
63:47 now you need two
63:51 apps like holy
63:55 actual crap and this is this is great so
63:58 uh clo actually did a wonderful job of this News Post doing a good job of
64:03 putting quotes from the original article a really good link to the original
64:06 article and uh his or her own uh
64:09 feedback as well as going and searching out this tweet from
64:15 um so hero Harrison Hopkins sent a
64:19 message to Justin ubertini Justin Uberti
64:24 sorry uh hold on where is it there we go here we go so uh principal engineer
64:29 Google technical lead for duo coad for
64:32 Alo so basically the guy in charge so you want us to use four apps
64:38 to talk to people Alo Doo Google Messenger phone the point stands
64:44 all-in-one apps are not the
64:51 what so you think have you ever used
64:55 Justin have you ever used an Android
64:58 device have you ever experienced your pocket being on fire
65:04 because some Android app is
65:08 sucking battery for no apparent reason in the background do you have any idea
65:12 how hard I try to install fewer things
65:16 on my Android device in particular because I am so tired of being like my
65:22 phone's running really hot what do I have to force close
65:27 today no more apps is not the future at
65:31 all if it doesn't fit on a single home screen it is not going on my phone we
65:38 actually use Hangouts predominantly here
65:41 at work as our internal messaging chat
65:44 the reason for it is that it actually does work it's easy pretty great it's
65:49 crossplatform it's a single thing that works across Mac um Peace PC Android iOS
65:56 everything if you message someone on at if you message someone who works here on
66:00 Hangouts the odds of them seeing it in a timely manner is pretty
66:05 good why could you how could you
66:09 possibly think that instead of just
66:13 having a button for a voice call a
66:16 button for a video call and a text box
66:19 for a text message how could you possibly think that opening up a
66:24 different app is a better
66:28 idea so Hangouts meet okay is video conferencing with the
66:35 goal of making online meetings as painless as possible fired up meetings
66:40 can be started simply by sharing a link no fiddling around with logins plugins
66:44 or native applications up to 30 particip
66:48 so basically you can have a direct a
66:51 dedicated dial in number if you're a g Enterprise customer which we aren't
66:55 because they introduced G Enterprise after we bought our subscription service
66:59 like oh yeah g Enterprise it's like ever so slightly different and better uh cost
67:04 twice as much so screw that screw that screw Hangouts meet this is stupid
67:09 because there's nothing here that Hangouts meet does that Hangouts doesn't
67:12 already do just fine or that couldn't easily have been added you can already
67:17 send someone link to a Hangouts and they can join Hangouts chat is apparently
67:22 going to be more like Slack for Microsoft teams than previous Hangouts
67:26 supports multiple virtual rooms for each topic threaded conversations integration
67:32 with other G Suite services in a filterable search so it's going to be
67:36 yet another thing that because Google can't make up their freaking mind and
67:41 stay behind a communication application
67:44 yet another thing that's garbage you know what else is
67:48 garbage the Google SMS app that comes
67:51 built into Android you know why it's garbage because when you switch to
67:54 another Android device it doesn't sync that's garbage I thought the whole
68:00 point of Google was backing up all your crap you know what else is stupid the
68:05 fact that when you back up an Android phone and restore another one it doesn't
68:09 back up your home screen shortcuts that to me is just fundamental stuff that for
68:14 some reason Google can't clue in that people need you know else just garbage
68:18 while it shut up what's that called you
68:22 were tell you were explaining this to me the other day the guy in the rap song
68:26 that's just like yeah hype man okay get out of here hype man tell
68:31 okay you know what else is garbage go the contacts app I'm even moving my
68:36 hands like this the contacts app you
68:40 can't have multiple people for a single contact how am I supposed to enter my
68:45 grandma and grandpa who by the way do not have individual cell phones how am I
68:49 supposed to enter my grandma and grandpa as a contact okay
68:55 tell them okay well I'm angry now you know
68:59 what's kind of funny actually I'm kind of over it I kind of got it out of my system you know what kind of funny this
69:02 is like showing a very big difference between Google and Amazon to the Giants
69:07 in the US right now where Google is trying to separate everything and
69:10 segment everything and Amazon through twitch is trying to integrate everything
69:14 into one vertical I think I think
69:18 integration is the way forward I agree
69:21 but it's just that's really interesting to see these two different approach is in like an overall vision for how the
69:28 future of technology is going um but you
69:31 know that's just my opinion I've always wanted a rant Channel people were like
69:34 this should be a video like I would I would love to have a rant channel it's
69:38 just it's something that doesn't make sense for Linus media group's current
69:42 direction um currently currently we'll see uh Nintendo switch sales are
69:47 apparently absolutely crushing it and
69:50 Gadget says the switch is the fastest selling console in Nintendo history with
69:55 Zelda being the bestelling launch title the company's ever seen which is sort of
70:01 taken for granted given that they didn't ship it with a game and it's the only
70:06 game for the console so if it's going to be the fastest selling console it's
70:09 going to have to be the bestselling launch title well I wonder if they're
70:13 factoring in Wii U breath of the wild sales oh actually I'm not sure um
70:19 beating out Mario 64 though so bestselling Standalone launch title wow
70:23 that's fantastic you know I've never I have tried multiple times to get into
70:27 Mario 64 never managed to do it really yeah oh it a great game just never
70:31 managed to do it great game I should try again at some point I own it on Virtual
70:35 Console on my Wii so I just need to like go play it you should get a get little
70:40 man involved yeah well no I'm okay once
70:43 once you graduate him to the 64 first game first game I'm going to play with
70:47 him is going to be Final Fantasy 6 my favorite game of all time okay um and
70:52 you know what he's getting really close kid can read so like yeah so he that
70:57 doesn't mean he can understand the weird winding path of a Final Fantasy game no
71:02 but six is a lot I don't even understand the weird Final Fantasy game it's less
71:07 weird okay it's it's not entirely not weird it's just it's a lot less weird
71:11 all right um way to be in the shot come
71:15 on see she's not Pastor probation yet
71:18 which means Technically she's not supposed to be on camera well I mean she
71:22 did drop the very famously dropped the uh oh yeah oh
71:26 hey Max actually yeah can I wor you for a sec come come on over here for for a
71:30 sec come on have a seat come on in have a seat have a seat um come on in so
71:36 we've had some of our viewers accusing us of the um faking of Faking or staging
71:43 the drop the drop of the rise and test bench you're right behind the microphone
71:46 by the way yeah on purpose um so max can you tell me did you stage that for
71:51 comedic effect what what what what was was the objective when you uh dropped
71:55 the uh the the the test bench there I
71:58 don't know why I would stage anything for comedic effect um like that I think
72:04 the scream of Despair was comedy enough
72:08 no y okay this has been so
72:12 fun all right thanks Max Thanks Max bye
72:16 okay so the way it went down was against the advice of Brandon and
72:22 Max I propped up the test bench like that knowing did that yeah I propped it
72:28 up knowing that I would be standing right next to it to catch it the
72:33 doorbell rang Tyler wasn't in the
72:36 warehouse and I was like oh I'll I'll grab the door Max Max can you keep an
72:41 eye on that she's like yeah I'll watch it so she's standing there like this and
72:46 she kind of goes it's not moving at all
72:49 and oh shoot I left the camera on I'll go turn off the camera before she even
72:54 made it to the camera which is why the camera was still rolling before she even
72:58 made it to the camera it started to fall so that's why you saw her like dashing
73:02 over there trying to trying to get it that's how it went down it was not the
73:06 intent although what I will say is that mostly uh everything survived the Titan
73:12 XP is fine which is great the RAM's fine the only thing that Chip's fine our 1800
73:17 x is fine the only things that died are the cooler which got super bent um and
73:24 hey actually hey Max where's that cooler do you
73:28 know okay we should Instagram
73:32 it Anthony if you know where that cooler is can you bring it over here yeah so
73:37 the cooler died and our Crosshair 6 died so the board died is the does the board
73:42 have physical damage oh yeah oh yeah it was like can you can you bring the board
73:46 no I bent it back already oh oh oh never mind yeah so it was like it was like
73:50 bent it was like bowed cuz it cuz it fell down directly onto the cooler and
73:56 got like 50 million views yeah probably but like I don't think about that yeah
74:01 yeah here can I I don't think about that stuff likeu not in the moment that's
74:06 like there was one video recently where you were like wait this one's fine oh no
74:10 this oh oh never mind that's not fine
74:14 nothing is fine um has this already like reconciled removed from inventory marked
74:18 Dead all that stuff I believe so but I'm going to GL okay so that's like in that
74:23 there there was a video recently where you were like you can tell when there's a problem and then when there's a
74:28 problem and that was a problem so see it
74:31 looks kind of okay from here you got a couple bent fins and then you turn it to
74:34 the side oops oh no so that's that's the
74:38 angle that the so those heat pipes are
74:41 bent AF and I it kills me to uh damage a
74:45 knock to a cooler cuz it's like the bee's knees but yeah it's dead it's dead
74:50 it's dead fan survived so there's that um were they LTT fans no no it was just
74:56 a normal brown one then who cares um
75:00 what else we got here oh yeah Microsoft is launching an Xbox subscription gaming
75:04 service this is different from the other Xbox subscription gaming service so this
75:09 is like playing games online as okay so
75:13 this is streaming games online okay it is getting really hard to
75:18 describe online gaming Services yes because you stream a game that is being
75:23 being played on a server far away being processed on a server far away yeah like
75:28 why don't we have a word for that um I don't well we do it's called game
75:32 streaming but unfortunately that could mean almost anything yeah but like game
75:35 streaming is the same like is perceived the same
75:39 as streaming a game yes so like why don't we have like a separate word for
75:43 it we could call call G on demand we should coin a term yeah on demand gaming
75:47 no that's stupid well that's what it's called though we should call it bur
75:51 blogin no that's stupid no no that's stupid and not funny so you're now what
75:55 you're you're minus one dude I don't even you were you were you had pulled
75:59 even and now you're minus one what happened to you man you used to be cool
76:02 no I didn't that's accurate coming this spring to the Xbox One the Xbox game
76:08 pass will give console owners access to over 100 Xbox One and backwards
76:13 compatible games for $9.99 a month yeah cloud gaming thank you twitch chat it is
76:17 part of the cloud um what if it's not so initial supported titles include Halo 5
76:21 guard did anyone care about Halo 5 Guardians NBA 2 people cared about Halo
76:27 5 cuz it was supposed to be like the return of Halo to PC but then the PC
76:30 version is total garbage soulcaliber 2
76:34 Soulcalibur 2 I played that when I was like 12 huh how old is that game yeah
76:40 when did Soulcalibur 2 come out wow Soulcalibur 6 was one of the
76:45 auto completes on uh whoa it is the sequel to Soul Caliber
76:51 which was released in '98 20 it came out no no hold on hold on the game was
76:55 released on the Namco system 246 arcade
76:59 board before being ported to the PlayStation 2 Gamecube and Xbox in
77:04 2003 wow they're really uh really really bringing their a game there dare that a
77:10 game there great game Library yes um so
77:14 Partners providing at least some support include take two Warner Brothers Capcom
77:17 Bandai and Microsoft Studios if Microsoft Studios wasn't providing
77:21 support then EA is apparently hold out because they offer access to their XBox
77:25 One titles through a $30 Pere subscription called EA access sweet
77:30 GameStop shares apparently fell 7.8% on the announcement can I mean can who
77:34 still invests in GameStop why is GameStop still a thing okay so the point
77:38 of investing is that you expect growth
77:42 so even if you still believe that GameStop has like games to rent to
77:48 people or sell to people or whatever surely you couldn't be expecting it to
77:52 grow that business well that's why it
77:55 fell was that there was less demand yeah but like who still has their money in
78:00 GameStop anyone who's watching right now take your investment dollars out of
78:05 GameStop dude we don't we we do not certify this investment advice as advice
78:11 by a financial advisor please consult your financial adviser before making any
78:16 financial decisions and determinations consult your financial adviser before
78:21 ripping all of your money out of your game GameStop GameStop stock portfolio
78:26 and investing it in almost anything else you know what I'm going to go buy
78:29 GameStop stock and then when they come out with like the next big thing the
78:33 next big GameStop thing I'm just going to roll up in my Lamborghini and laugh
78:38 at you in this ply little office that we've got going no I'm just kidding
78:42 that's that's you know yeah good luck with that thanks man scientists
78:46 scientists are so cool they have stored a movie scientists are cool an operating
78:52 system and an Amazon gift card in a
78:55 single spec of DNA so the original article here is from sciencealert.com
79:01 there you have it the highest density
79:04 data storage device ever
79:08 created I mean number one bear in mind of course that this doesn't necessarily
79:13 mean anything I mean you could store a movie at like a super low bit rate and
79:18 the computer OS could be anything but this is DNA I know it's still cool DNA
79:23 it stored stuff in DNA before I just mean saying like but like okay saying a
79:29 hard drive can hold a billion movies doesn't tell you anything about the
79:33 quality that it's stored like you have to say it's Blu-ray quality or you have
79:38 to say you know whatever else yes I understand what you're saying anyway um
79:43 this DNA encoding method approaches the theoretical maximum for information
79:48 stored per nucleotide they were able to recover the stored files with zero zero
79:53 errors and their strategy is capable of recording 215 petabytes of data on a
79:58 single gr of DNA no I was I was reading
80:02 there was uh the day that this research was announced there was an AMA with like
80:06 the um the lead scientist the lead researcher whatever lead cool guy that's
80:10 what we're going to go with essentially the lead dope guy um and dope AF lit guy
80:16 there were a a bunch of questions about you know doesn't storing on DNA make it
80:20 you know subject to Environmental factors and wouldn't it be difficult to
80:24 store and apparently there are you know
80:28 relatively lowcost Solutions and even stuff like gigantic server rooms could
80:32 be relatively easily converted this is
80:36 you know uh 10 years out long time away
80:40 and this is all just stuff that I read on the AMA um but server rooms could be
80:45 relatively easily uh transformed into
80:48 areas that could store this stuff safely with a halflife of like 4,000
80:54 years which is like way longer than any other physical
80:59 medium we've uh we've come across so far
81:03 so that I think is the really exciting part is that this could be like an
81:07 incredible long-term storage
81:11 aspect sorry I moved on to the zombie proof 3D printed mobile house um so the
81:17 researcher spent s Grand to synthesize the DNA and another 2,000 to sequence it
81:22 so so yeah costs need to come down a fair bit but uh very cool zombie house
81:29 yeah um so the original article here is from Tech crunch passive Dom is a zombie
81:35 proof autonomous 3D printed mobile
81:39 house um apparently it's very efficient
81:42 compared to Brick it could be made off grid in a cold climate with some
81:47 upgrades uh so without like a complex and expensive engineered heating
81:51 solution the frame is made of 3D printed carbon fiber and fiberglass the entire
81:56 house is recyclable H it's 36 M and
81:59 costs €60,000 to pre-order they have a special
82:04 zombie apocalypse package that includes armored glazing an alarm system extra
82:08 toilet paper storage and a
82:12 Bible that's uh so while this all could be nonsense it seems they actually have
82:16 a real model built already and all the technology is somewhat feasible so uh
82:21 there you have it there's that
82:24 wow interesting um yeah I guess that's
82:28 pretty much it for me Chad is telling us that we should
82:32 instead of doing like tape storage for long term we should uh do DNA storage
82:36 yeah we'll just like get right on that we'll just yeah build out like a a DNA
82:41 research lab and you know the next unit over no problem we got this 100% down
82:47 all right that would be some videos right there um well that's I guess how
82:52 how's your week been lus how's my week been yeah surprisingly tiring actually
82:57 this is um we've only just recently so
83:00 you're only just now seeing on the channel a lot of people seem to think
83:04 that I that I don't write videos for the lonus tech tips Channel um and that
83:09 people just write everything for me MH 90 plus so Techquickie aside which
83:15 John's been writing pretty much since he started so lineus Tech tips wise 90
83:21 plus% of what what I hosted until like
83:24 two weeks ago was written by me and like I remember talking about when we uh when
83:29 we hired Tyler and he was uh helping me out with a couple scripts here and there
83:32 when I said that we had a new guy that was helping with the scripts um people
83:37 someone posted a comment on a video slightly after that saying like wow that
83:41 was a really great decision to hire the new guys the today's video was like way
83:44 better written than usual like I wrote
83:49 it anyway the last couple weeks have been crazy because our three new guys
83:53 started and you're starting to see now on the YouTube channel a huge uh shift
84:00 in things being completely written by Me versus me sitting in more of like an
84:05 Editor in Chief role so most of my time now is taken up by meetings sitting down
84:10 looking at products figuring out the angles that we're going to tackle them
84:14 from um reviewing notes reviewing
84:17 finished scripts reviewing like the guidance for the editors reviewing the
84:21 final video so I more like a like a managing
84:25 editor than like uh like a writer these
84:29 days what's really cool is it has allowed us to do some really amazing
84:34 pieces of content in a time period that
84:38 previously wouldn't have been possible um like the uh the Windows 9 analysis
84:43 some people didn't like that it had kind of a click baity title and thumbnail um
84:49 but if they sort of remove their their
84:52 Prejudice remove their bias from from
84:56 this situation a little bit and look at that video objectively what was it it
85:02 was about a version of Windows that Microsoft doesn't want you to know about
85:06 it actually was it was about taking a Microsoft OS that is not commercially
85:10 available modding the crap out of it to take out all the te Telemetry and
85:15 monitoring and background processes that you don't care about and get a more
85:19 stable smoother operating Windows that's what it was about
85:23 and it was a massive amount of work huge
85:27 massive amount of work it took like a week of benchmarking to set up all four
85:31 of the different OS environments that we were testing on identical Hardware to
85:35 run a huge Suite of benchmarks to really analyze their performance and to do all
85:41 the work that was involved in taking the guidelines from Windows 9 and creating a
85:45 more palatable version of Windows 10 and then creating a blog post so that you
85:49 guys can replicate this on your own making taking Windows 9 which is not
85:53 actually possible to buy unless you have like a special education uh license or
85:58 something like that and making it applicable to our viewers Great Piece of
86:02 content objectively and took a ton of
86:05 time and was a lot of work that wouldn't have been possible without the writing
86:08 staff same thing for stuff like our ryzen coverage it would not have been as
86:13 good GTX 1080 TI it would not have been possible to test so many games on Intel
86:19 and on ryzen something that very few other public did and so a lot of those things are
86:25 coming through there's some Growing Pains uh there's a video coming now that
86:28 I'm not that happy about the cohesiveness of like the overall flow of
86:32 the way the b-roll cuts in and stuff like that but basically what's happened
86:35 in the last two weeks is my job has changed in a big way and I'm adapting to
86:39 that I have only fully written two videos aside from the ryz and launch
86:43 coverage which obviously I did because I was the only one there uh in the last
86:47 two weeks which previously would have been 8 to 10 that's crazy crazy yeah so
86:53 it's bananas you're not you're not working any less that's for sure no if
86:57 anything it's actually been more work it's it's been kind of crazy um like you
87:01 hire a bunch of people expecting that to reduce your workload but you actually
87:06 just end up doing more things and different things um with all of that
87:10 said I do not plan to entirely leave behind writing I like tinkering with
87:15 stuff I like being in the trenches and so I will absolutely continue to be
87:19 involved um I'm writing the DJI mavic review that upcoming um I mean doesn't
87:24 help that no one else here can fly a drone I was going to say there's specific stuff like that where only you
87:28 can do it yeah um I'm I'm writing the Alienware 13
87:33 so I'll be taking on I think especially stuff that I find particularly
87:36 interesting and I think that that's another really cool thing about the
87:39 three people that we have on board is they're all really different so I think you're going to see a different and a
87:44 new level of passion that goes into the the projects that people are working on
87:48 because nobody has to do everything so
87:51 that's going to be really cool yeah um I guess that all that leaves is
87:55 our shout out for Flo plane Club so Flo plane Club Flo plane Club is where you
88:00 can get a mostly good experience
88:03 watching yeah okay it's in Alpha it's
88:06 Alpha well it's in a very early stage
88:10 can't really say Alpha Beta whatever it's in a very early stage very early
88:14 stage so right now the way it works is we're using it as an early access player
88:19 for LT Channel superf fun and Tech quick videos over on the lus tech tips Forum
88:24 the plan is to Move It Off The Forum at some point in the future but we're not
88:29 going to promise a timeline for that and uh basically the way you sign up is you
88:33 go over to the store you go to the Floatplane club
88:39 which I am not going to screen share because I have no idea what's in my
88:42 other browser going to open up Twitch here boom there we go going to paste
88:46 that over there there you go that's where you can join the Floatplane Club
88:50 is Twitch chat even working yeah there you go the LT bot was just taking a
88:53 second to kick in and you'll have a week's worth of videos that you won't
88:59 find on YouTube so it should be about 10 videos that you haven't seen so these uh
89:05 this week there were a lot of releases so that content goes to both platforms
89:10 immediately you mean simultaneous releases like time product releases oh
89:14 yeah yeah yeah okay so like 1080 1080 TI is already there uh but there and the
89:19 Intel extreme rig challenge but what actually happened s is that whatever was
89:23 released on Floatplane before doesn't go to YouTube yet on that day it gets
89:26 pushed forward by another week so what's already there is the ASUS
89:30 g701 uh we've got a Techquickie on why do electronics get hot uh we've got o
89:37 viewers Choice episode two is over there so where we take the most popular items
89:41 you guys are buying on Amazon will they be the same will they be different some
89:44 of them are the same some of them are different we've got the Del XPS 27 audio
89:48 file grade aiio computer uh what else
89:51 have we got over there
89:54 every AMD video card tested yeah that's
89:58 actually a pretty cool video uh LTT EVGA
90:02 Sol that one's on YouTube already yeah yeah so there's oh yeah server room
90:05 update Vlog episode three out of three the finale that's on there a great great
90:10 thumbnail great thumbnail y that one would have been on YouTube by now but
90:14 it's been pushed by some of these simultaneous releases anyway and it's
90:18 coming to YouTube very soon is it coming very soon
90:22 very sick should we do a sneak peek what do you mean should we should should we
90:26 do a live demo of Floatplane Club working oh gosh so oh yeah there's so
90:31 the the bit rate um is higher for playback for our 1080p so 1080p looks
90:36 better on Floatplane also you can download I have to be in Luke's shoes
90:39 this time and hope that it works we're going we're going full on we're going
90:43 1080p man just give it a sec oh oh like
90:48 I said it mostly works
90:53 okay what's up what do you want oh wow
90:57 that was quick oh rut R way to go lonus
91:02 doing a live demo well whatever it usually work it
91:08 works like most of the time that's why we're saying very early stages it works
91:13 Mo most of the time um okay so I think that's pretty
91:17 much it thanks for tuning in to the W show we will see you guys again next week same bat time
