all right let's just do it let's just do it the door is locked blow it hacking
0:08

0:18
favorite that's the best part of the whole video oh oh oh no so amazing I'm a
0:24
Noob no way to go Luke okay everything's fine
0:30
okay so welcome to the WAN Show you guys
0:34
we have zero viewers it's always like that at the beginning of the show but
0:38
every time I discuss it Lally doesn't even show a viewer count at
0:42
all oh oh yeah no my live one I yeah
0:47
it's not oh weird oh okay anyway uh discussing the live viewers is totally
0:51
irrelevant to all the 200,000 or so people who watch The W show in the
0:55
archive every isn't tin access Gren kind
0:58
of is because we did it in The After Party Fair they have no idea what's
1:02
going on but then again I did include as a highlight in our winter announcement
1:07
video just that part of that video so
1:11
yeah and a couple other like really golden moments as well so I yeah I I
1:17
actually normally I don't just watch our videos like for fun because I'm in a lot
1:22
of them and I can't don't really have anything to say that would teach myself
1:25
anything at that point and then usually my thing is and I'm sure you're probably
1:28
the same way to at least some agree if you're not in the video you just go talk to the person yeah I usually have well
1:34
I've I've heard enough like complaining about all the negative things and I've
1:38
heard enough like oh okay come look at this this is really cool about all the
1:41
positive stuff that it's like ah I kind of got the Highlight I kind of got the
1:45
Highlight Reel already I don't think I need to watch this um so so yeah but I
1:50
actually watched our ultrawide winter announcement just so I could see the
1:54
Highlight Reel again cuz we got we got some great entries that were really awesome all right so what do we got for
1:59
the show to day ah yes big news
2:02
NVIDIA dropping prices for for Black
2:07
Friday yeah W yeah yeah okay yeah oh did
2:12
you lose your thing that's weird did I lose my what now the thing the thing
2:16
you're your doc do you know what you're calling out next yeah I I got it it's right there okay uh no no I just I
2:21
realized that the um the announcement is not live said it live because we weren't
2:25
live yet no I know I thought I had oh okay okay yeah it didn't work from here
2:29
for some reason oh oh I didn't click save that's why all right so also in the
2:33
news this week lii internet also known
2:36
as lonus Fidelity internet basically you
2:40
just you you build up two luses in your house they take a fair amount of
2:44
resources but they're pretty solid and then they communicate with each other
2:47
very quickly they talk really fast for as long as they don't cheat because it's
2:51
lonus Fidelity not not lonus Breaking All the Rules yeah so so you just got to
2:57
keep them in line so basically it doesn't work at all what else we got
3:00
except this one does yes this the real one does anyways AMD is dropping
3:06
prices for Black Friday and a toddler's eyeball was
3:11
sliced by a drone propeller okay oh I mean you know it was
3:15
a matter of time before like someone got hurt yeah but like has some baby been
3:21
hit by a thrown football and knocked out and bad well there was no there was that
3:25
baby that got hit by the uh by the beer
3:28
can yeah at the basement G like projectiles yeah so now like everyone in
3:33
the upper in the upper deck has to have plastic cups or something something
3:37
something yeah I mean it was really interesting hearing them talk about this
3:40
on the radio because the the only radio I listen to is sports radio so if you
3:44
ever hear me talk about what they talk about on the radio it's going to be beer
3:47
cans being thrown off the upper deck at a baseball game um it was really
3:51
interesting hearing them talk about this because people had such varying opinions
3:56
number one is Hooligans should shoot them all people are throwing things off
4:00
the upper deck yeah uh opinion number two was what is your toddler doing at a
4:06
baseball game cuz the kid was like one year old wow so like why why why are
4:12
they at a B I went to leave him at home leave at home I went like giant crazy
4:17
Outdoors electronic music thing where the music was like very very very loud
4:22
and people had like very young like a
4:25
year or below kids there without headphones and I'm like I don't know
4:30
much about this field as we noticed last week when I called it a kennel but like
4:35
that can't be a good thing there's no way that's a good thing my ears hurt my
4:40
head hurts that's a toddler yeah I listen to loud music all the time I
4:45
don't know anyways all right so uh wait are we supposed to roll the intro
4:49
probably oh shoot did we talk yes we did talk about them all yep go yay nice boat
4:56
I know right nice packs nice
5:03
I'm never sure how much they can hear us during this me
5:14
neither oo Phantom glass has a promo wow
5:19
I fix it has a promo Wow Fresh books
5:23
doesn't have a promo but it's still cool anyway
5:27
fresh all right so uh this is this is
5:30
the best uh this is this is the best uh comment in the twitch chat why are the
5:35
parents subjecting their child to baseball
5:39
oh rip my my brother-in-law is
5:42
like man he's hardcore into baseball and
5:47
golf and I'm just
5:51
like I find those to be two of the most boring Sports ever they're relatively
5:56
fun to play I like playing baseball I
5:59
hate hate watching baseball I make the argument that baseball is actually super
6:03
boring to play because you literally spend one nth of your time actually
6:08
doing anything unless you're the pitcher or the catcher it's fun to play if you
6:12
have like people to talk to so my favorite thing about baseball stuff
6:16
that's all playing games you no no that
6:20
that's like saying fishing is fun fishing is fun because you get out on a
6:24
boat with a bunch of Bros and you drink beer that's why fish that's why anyone
6:28
fishes like I get such a kick out of people who are like yeah like
6:32
competitive fishing and blah blah blah and I'm like yeah like competitive fishing is like is like this tiny
6:38
minuscule percentage of the people who actually have any idea what the crap
6:42
they're doing and are convert and are actually using skill to catch the fish
6:47
better most of fishing like oh sorry hun
6:50
you know I got to go I got to go really early that's when the the fish are
6:54
biting also you know that's I need a couple minutes to like go and dig my
6:58
like huge of beer out of where I stashed it and get that in the boat without you
7:02
noticing cuz you're not awake yet like come on baseball is pure
7:08
socializing my favorite thing about baseball video we're going to lose a
7:11
whole whack ton of American fans here know um my one of my favorite things
7:15
about American baseball videos are when
7:19
it shows like the guy's just screwing
7:23
around all the time like there's so many
7:26
of them there on on imager a while ago there was a huge list of I think over
7:30
like a hundred Gifts of like this
7:33
season like Antics just crazy crap people have done they they come up with
7:38
these like insanely ludicrous handshakes
7:41
they they like throw food to each other like team to team uh there's one where
7:45
like two guys opposing team are just like chilling against opposing fences
7:50
playing rock paper scissors like across the stadium oh my God what are you doing
7:56
with your time like at least with football people are usually like
7:59
strategizing or engaged in the game these guys are just like and I hear I
8:04
hear a lot of I hear a lot of like yeah like you know it's a mind game it's
8:09
strategy and I'm like okay to an extent
8:13
but like bowling or like golf there is
8:17
there's there's a certain amount of if you have a whole team full of people who
8:21
are straight up individually skilled better than the other team there's
8:25
actually not a whole lot of strategy that you can do to beat that team and I
8:29
know you know operating as a cohesive unit this and that Etc that's all very
8:34
important but generally speaking unit a
8:37
thing in bowling or are you back to baseball uh I'm back to baseball I'm back to baseball yeah no bowling I was
8:42
like what bowling you have to encourage each other I guess yeah keep keep team
8:47
spirit you know matters make that statistically matters but but there's
8:50
not a whole lot of variability in terms of like should you go for the double
8:54
play or should you just get the guy at first like come on so people are people
8:59
are giving me people oh people are people are hating on NASCAR in the in
9:03
the comments I would argue that NASCAR is actually way more legitimate than
9:08
baseball I'm sorry it's like a physics game basically
9:13
it looks really repetitive and it it's quite repetitive to watch I don't watch
9:18
it I will never watch it super boring Burl posted this thing the other day um
9:23
that was like V8 superar racing
9:26
somewhere in Europe super interesting
9:29
the cars were like super close to each other going around really really tight
9:33
Corners it was it was nuts I usually get really bored watching racing but that
9:37
was cool all right people are asking for a topic I'm like I guess so all right so
9:42
original post here is from wccf Tech
9:46
boom NVIDIA's entire 900 series GPU
9:49
lineup gets price cuts for the holidays pretty serious ones including the GTX
9:54
980ti which I think we had covered when we said 900 series The 980 which I think
9:59
that does 900 Ser is 9 is 980 in the 900
10:03
series it depends on how you look at it see if you look at the inverse it's in
10:07
the zero series shut up okay okay okay so hold on
10:13
hold on I'm gonna I'm G to go Tang they should just do that they shouldn't make it the like
10:18
1,80 they make it I was just going to I was heading there 80 oh okay guys what
10:24
do what do you think the GTX 1080
10:27
optimized for 4K right yeah it's kind of weird the 1080
10:32
TI optimized for 4K with
10:38
v right I am really looking forward to
10:41
that my entire portion or no you do GPU
10:44
videos in their entirety now whatever so your entire video I I would ask but this
10:49
is a mandate will be full of jokes if
10:52
it's 1080 it will be full of jokes about that yeah excellent all right so
10:56
basically uh the 980 the 970 960 and 50
10:59
are all getting cut for the holidays um I mean it's not like in in 5
11:06
years we have to do or actually closer
11:09
to four something now but um we we have to do we have to do a review of like
11:13
glasses just to troll people glasses in 2020 oh
11:19
oh or we could do like the entire the
11:22
the entire like year could be videos of like old products we could be like this
11:27
is the hindsight year
11:31
just take an entire year to troll people
11:34
yes an entire year I think even we wouldn't get away with that yeah I don't
11:38
think so the 980 TI is down from 649 to 589 or as low as 559 after Mir the 980
11:44
has dropped about 60 bucks actually even
11:48
more after mail and rebate it's 970 is down from 329 to 289 so some pretty
11:53
significant price Cuts anywhere from sort of the 10% to 15ish plus perc range
11:58
the 950 goes all the way down to 139 or 129 after Mir
12:03
unfortunately other regions other than the United States on new egg.com may not
12:08
see the same or even similar price discounts NVIDIA is doing that thing
12:13
again where they act like a really americ Centric company where kind of
12:17
like how the shield was only available in America uh if I recall correctly grid
12:21
beta was only available no CU I had it in Canada no okay I'm not going to I'm
12:25
not going to nail them on grid beta um but I will definitely nail them on
12:29
Shield only being available in America um so they're they're kind of
12:34
doing that thing again super lame yeah I
12:37
I I I mean okay to be clear I do understand all the logistics involved in
12:42
coordinating a price drop with your resellers because the kind of accounting
12:46
involved in paying for things after you
12:50
receive them but then less some kind of
12:54
discount but if you if you sell through the units within that period Then it's
12:59
not less the discount it's actually pretty complicated and some some
13:03
Distributors are not set up correctly to do it and blah blah blah blah blah like
13:07
it actually is complicated but I think America only super sucky like I think
13:12
you could have at least done sort of a smattering of territories where they are
13:17
somewhat set up for it like I'm sure you know case king. de can handle how to do
13:21
a point of sale rebate so yeah yeah
13:24
pretty pretty frustrating in other news what's this AMD is cutting prices on
13:31
their R9 series which includes the r
13:35
seven no wait it doesn't right I get it
13:39
so the fury X the fury the Nano the 390x the 390 and the 380 uh interesting fact
13:44
I did not realize it was called the R9 Nano I thought it was called the R9 Fury
13:49
Nano I don't understand why they didn't call it the fury Nano what it is not
13:54
called the R9 Fury Nano I was trying to
13:58
buy some and I couldn't find them y
14:02
trusted reviews calls it the fury Nano anante calls it the R9 Nano anante got
14:06
it right wccf Tech got it wrong but that shouldn't surprise us
14:10
um yeah go figure right what yeah so I
14:15
have always called it the R9 Nano but
14:18
out of laziness Yes
14:21
Yes actually wow okay um so so yeah
14:25
actually this is this is interesting I I need uh seven of and AMD was going to
14:30
send them to us but after confirming they were going to send them to us they
14:34
were like hey we can't um so I was like hey okay I guess
14:40
I'll buy them then because I super need them for this project why is this a
14:44
twitch stream and uh oh I don't know and uh Intel Kingston ASUS and I I I'm sure
14:52
there are other there are other people have already sent me the hardware to do
14:55
this project so I pretty much have to do it now case Labs is like doing a custom
15:01
painted case for me for this project the
15:04
project must go forward so um so so
15:07
hopefully they'll they'll reimburse us going to be expensive something like
15:10
that no no I think the plan is for them to reimburse us or something but it was
15:14
just it was like a complicated hey we thought we had them turns out we didn't
15:17
you know that might be better cuz this time they can't ship it to us and then
15:21
actually have not shipped it to us and then ship it to us later yeah we had a
15:24
lot of people asking why our 380x uh review video was late
15:29
and the answer is that we straight up got briefed on it like we got our
15:34
reviewer briefing and we got our press deck and our reviewer guide and all that
15:38
stuff and we were like we were like ready and then the card just didn't show
15:43
up yep so yep it's up now on vessel so
15:46
that's cool yay all right anyway so the R9 Fury X is down from oops I just
15:51
changed the thing is down to 569 after Mir the Nano is down to 5.49 making it
15:57
much more reasonably priced the fur
16:01
the99 ex and the 390x and 390 are down
16:05
to 429 and 329 respectively 390 is a
16:09
good deal with that price too actually I mean these are all kind of good deals on both sides all of these pricings are in
16:13
USD and they're off of newegg.com other regions may not the same or similar
16:17
discounts 279 uh 390 is 279 oh sorry sorry sorry they're down
16:22
from 429 and 329 to 379 and 279 so a 390
16:27
for 279 yeah that's almost almost as good as we get all the time on scrapyard
16:31
Wars except not even close buying used 290s it's so solid it's like the way to
16:37
go were they mined on yes probably probably they always say
16:43
no but like come on I always get such a kick out of that because okay guys Pro
16:49
tip for buying used Hardware if the posting says wasn't mined on wasn't
16:54
mined on it was definitely mined on or never overclocked it was definitely over
16:59
it was definitely mined on and overclocked it's like it's like lady
17:03
driven you know yeah yeah it's like if you have you know what that term means
17:06
yes it probably wasn't done that way if
17:09
you know what overclocking is come on there's no way you never tinkered
17:15
with the dial a little bit yeah or maybe you didn't maybe you didn't maybe you're
17:19
the one honest person on the internet good for you good job man yeah
17:24
all right so we've got our next topic Here original article here is from the
17:27
IB times T Blitz um about I don't know oh which which
17:33
price drop do you think is more impactful who had the best I want to
17:37
hear from you guys if you're shopping for a video card everyone else butt out
17:42
if you're shopping for a video card who has enticed you more yeah with their
17:48
holiday specials yeah Green Team or red
17:51
team tweet at Linus Tech go go go and in
17:55
the meantime we're going to do this topic before we uh before we revisit
17:58
that so it's interesting how the R9 Fury X and the GTX 980ti both managed to
18:05
still be the exact same dollar yeah it's
18:09
it's it's almost before and after aeleen rebate it's almost like NVIDIA and AMD
18:14
have huge spy networks at each other's
18:18
companies it's almost like the tech industry is a completely
18:23
inbred sort of there like there like there's like only a few thousand people
18:28
and they just kind of move from company to company it's almost like that
18:32
happened um so lii internet the first
18:35
real world usage boast speeds a 100 times faster than
18:41
Wi-Fi so to explain how it works you should click on the third Source fourth
18:47
the explanation graph and then we can show how it's in the dock sure yeah I'll
18:51
get that up for you guys so it's it's like get exponential graph instead of
18:57
explanation graph oh damn what
19:03
jokes someone will get that in the twitch chat someone will get that all
19:07
right anyways um there it is so it's it's light it's visible light yeah so
19:12
like you can straight up use LEDs it's white light yep uh so the visible light
19:18
spectrum is 10,000 times larger than the radio waves we use for Wi-Fi today which
19:22
is very good point um because people got it oh good because the the reason that
19:28
the reason that the rate at which we can send data over over Wi-Fi is limited is
19:33
because there's only so much Spectrum available and a lot of it is already
19:37
allocated for other stuff that isn't your phone yes or but that is your phone
19:42
but is like your phone cellular signal air traffic stuff or your phone cellular
19:46
signals military stuff government stuff the radio you know we call them radio
19:51
waves cuz the radios it's kind of there um so with light you could actually what
19:57
okay what everyone's talking about the mic fix the mic fix the darn mic I don't
20:03
know a bunch of other people said it just crooked who cares whatever no no
20:07
don't no we're going I'm going to make it worse do it yeah yeah yeah now we're
20:13
living on the edge yeah bring it on Twitch
20:16
chat that's probably a bad idea so
20:20
infrared kind of sucks infrared is not super fast we've known this for a long
20:23
time I mean remember when remember when computers had like infrared data ports
20:27
on the side of them and then we all completely gave up on that because it
20:30
was trash remember game boys that never worked yeah never worked awesome but
20:38
infrared is fine for things like hey I need to change the channel where you're
20:41
sending extremely small amounts of data so that's where it really still Finds
20:45
Its use modern LEDs however could transmit enough data for a stable
20:49
broadband connection but still look like normal white light so look at that up to
20:53
1 billion bits per second now this does come with some
20:59
caveats however so it's literally white light you're not going to go through
21:03
walls yeah so you better be maintaining
21:06
like a line of sight to your uh to your Wi-Fi hot spot probably run a cable yeah
21:12
and oh but it could be kind of cool if you need to go like across the ceiling
21:17
to another AP yep yep or it could be
21:21
well y assuming that there's no I like I
21:24
don't know how they're handling light pollution yes that's going to be really
21:28
weird one thing that I brought up before we went on the show was I would be interested in trying it in like a studio
21:33
setup and turning off and turning on very white lights and seeing if it
21:37
polluted it or whatever and something that's really unclear to me at this point too is if we're going to transmit
21:42
data via light trolling just um if we're going to transmit data by light then are
21:47
the are the receivers and transmitters for this really going to be less
21:52
expensive than a typical you know multi
21:56
mode fiber in which case if we're going to send data by light and it has to be
22:01
line of sight should we just run a piece of fiber it's not that hard and even my
22:05
ceiling example like just run it along the ceiling um who cares and like it it
22:11
doesn't really address I mean okay so picture this you're like you're playing
22:14
a game right play a
22:17
game and someone's like oh hey how you
22:21
doing and you're like hey not bad oh crap oh no my hot spot's right there now
22:25
to be cleared now I don't think anyone I lost my MLG match we should do more
22:29
skits that was great ACC pretty much great a um now to be clear I don't think
22:34
anyone expects this to replace Wi-Fi but as a supplementary connectivity option
22:39
to Wi-Fi so when it be cool as like a crazy speed boost yeah like when you're
22:43
close to the access point having it be
22:46
you know what like what what's the fastest speed they've managed to achieve right now like 224 gigabytes per second
22:52
in lab conditions like that's pretty cool like if you could have a a lii
22:57
receiver gigabit gigabit gigabit not you have a Wi-Fi receiver on like the base of
23:02
your monitor or something and just like prop your phone up and transfer things
23:05
through it wirelessly yep that'd be pretty cool y so there's there's a lot of there's a lot of cool stuff but um so
23:11
just to put that in perspective 224 gigabit speed would technically allow
23:15
for 18 movies of 1.5 gigabytes each to be downloaded in a single second someone
23:19
just called out the dash cam skit oh the dash cam skit was gold I loved the dash
23:25
cam skit that legitimately was very good
23:30
um remember remember remember uh what
23:33
was it we were running around the forest doing stupid crap the Patriot the manly manly way
23:39
whatever uh back when everyone and their dog was like we should have a hard drive
23:45
with Wi-Fi literally everyone in their dog
23:50
like we made videos for the Voyager air the Seagate free agent glex free agent
23:55
glex I think that was the one Wi-Fi anyway and the Patriot um Gauntlet or no
24:01
Gauntlet I don't know I remember one of them being called something that sounded medieval whatever whatever it was Arrow
24:06
Arrow it's called The Arrow I think anyway within like six months or
24:10
something like that it's like this is ridiculous and now everyone has
24:13
completely forgotten about the product category as far as I can tell well no I
24:19
have used them on trips yes they're great for going on trips if you're on a
24:24
plane and you ignore the request to turn
24:27
off wireless transmitting devices which anyone probably fine which is probably
24:33
fine then you can definitely bring a wireless drive with you and you can
24:37
definitely watch movies um it's always
24:41
funny to me when when uh when sites use
24:44
examples that are just straight up like
24:48
they must be piracy like why would a movie be 1.5
24:53
gigs it's like is 1.5 gigs the average
24:56
size of like a compressed Blu-ray rip or something because it sure sure as hell
25:00
isn't a DVD it sure as hell isn't a video CD as if any like real releases
25:05
were ever done on those and it's sure not a Blu-Ray so what is
25:08
this what's a one what's a one and a half Gigabyte video it's a home movie
25:13
it's a home movie right yeah um so
25:16
before Mass adoption current devices need to be retrofitted to support Wi-Fi
25:20
every LED in the future could be used as an alternative to Wi-Fi I mean as long
25:23
as it was like not connected at all like it is now yeah I like take a I don't
25:29
know I get copper is going to be a thing for a long time I I'll be interested to
25:33
see where this goes cuz I'm sure we're thinking like we're we both have our
25:37
minds like stuck in the now a little bit right now I think where we're thinking
25:42
no like I said it would be super cool oh I see where you're going we're thinking
25:45
home networking but maybe there's applications for this that just go way
25:49
beyond that you know and and I don't know what they are exactly or or or
25:53
maybe maybe this technology could be used for for cheaper cheaper fiber
25:58
optics or something along those being white light uh makes me wonder a little
26:02
bit cuz like if you think about school like Grand Halls essentially a lot of
26:06
times in schools the ceilings are really high I don't really know why they just
26:10
are so if you could have these things all along the ceiling and your phones
26:13
and laptops or whatever able to communicate with them that would be sick
26:17
super fast networking within your school all the time but how does that work when
26:20
it's really bright I don't know I don't know I like I I would imagine the sun
26:24
would just wreak havoc on this yeah I
26:27
don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know man but one other Advantage
26:32
is that it doesn't interfere with other radio signals which it's light if you
26:35
know anything about light you should probably have already known
26:38
that I don't know this was kind of brutal original article here is on
26:42
Technica sorry tetz Twitter oh right the Twitter Blitz okay and then we'll we'll
26:47
get back to that man that that that was a who thought that was a good idea all
26:52
right everyone's talking about it we haven't done that in a moment though
26:57
okay get getting a used maybe overclocked r9290 from work for 40 PB so
27:02
team red is my best bet yeah okay that up that doesn't count but yes do that
27:07
that's awesome uh AMD because their new driver doesn't take 10 seconds to launch
27:11
and configure anything you know I got to give you that why does GeForce
27:16
experience take so long to lach computer if I click on the because taran's like I
27:20
want you to use Shadow play to rep record your gameplay footage for the steam controller review and he wants me
27:25
to use it for everything which is great I get it it compresses audio horribly
27:28
terrible in that way but the video is good so okay cool if I even click the
27:32
shadow play button my computer will lock up for like a couple minutes and then
27:37
eventually let go doesn't matter I can't even get close to touching Shadow play
27:41
if I try to open GeForce experience at all the whole thing will like lag out
27:45
and crash Explorer will die Explorer will come back and then GeForce
27:48
experience will load up it's pretty brutal I don't have that problem on any
27:52
other computer but you know what the funny thing is about NVIDIA is they've
27:55
got all these amazing cool like really complicated features that work within
28:00
the driver and work within your games and actually work really well and then
28:06
they try and build a control panel to let you turn the switches on and off and
28:09
it's like no
28:13
derp with that said I've got my I've got my complaints about amds drivers as well
28:18
uh you tried the new one sorry have you tried the new one I have not tried
28:22
neither I've heard good things I've heard good things I've also heard terrible things the Linux Community is
28:26
up in arms right now I'm sure they are because basically they just skinned the
28:30
old one as far as anyone can tell and all the promised performance
28:34
improvements are most of L Community use that thing anyways yeah but I'm sure
28:39
that they'd love to have an official driver that doesn't suck probably just
28:43
saying yep um all right AMD because oh yeah no we just said that here's your
28:48
answer look at that order to 390 bam 300
28:52
bucks yeah oh right they were too whatever yep great so y very nice teams
28:58
very low red team look at how many okay Zach Rose the first one first one for
29:03
the Green Team here project documenting
29:06
my Subs okay that's not really on topic also not on topic also not on topic no
29:12
well that's on topic but you're done fix the mic no not going to happen NVIDIA
29:17
AMD because I need Cuda for development this
29:21
is AMD's doing that thing yeah AMD is
29:24
doing that whole Cuda thing so uh Nick you might want to stay tuned because I'm
29:28
not sure I'm actually not sure what the exact status of it is like I don't know
29:33
if the latest driver boom turned on Cuda or if support is going to be as good or
29:37
if it's going to be as fast for a while but uh the the word on the street I I
29:42
read this article a week or two ago uh but the word on the street is that AMD
29:46
is has got some kind of Licensing deal for Cuda now yeah um so yeah stay stay
29:51
tuned for that uh Red Team Green Team
29:54
but something why not both why why don't we have both something some okay cool
29:59
team red gtx960 well based on based on our Audi
30:06
that's like a lot of AMD it's looking like AMD one Black Friday there so
30:10
that's you know what's kind of crazy is when I was shopping for when I got the
30:14
scrapyard Wars 9 uh 290 y um I looked
30:18
online that was $420 new now you can get 39s which are
30:25
the same card yeah but for under $400
30:28
new that guy got it for 300 bucks mhm 305 us us us us okay so like sold 400
30:34
yeah just say yeah yay Canadian dollar it's so bad
30:41
right now oh my God all right what else we got for topics today terrible thing
30:45
that we almost yeah this this is like I
30:49
don't know what they were thinking just wow Amazon backtracks after covering New
30:54
York City subway car and Nazi symbols um so here's a tweet from
30:59
Katherine lamb 42nd Street shuttle to Time Square covered in Nazi Germany and
31:03
Imperial Japan symbols for an Amazon ad
31:06
is this okay um I'm thinking a lot of
31:10
people kind of went with no now to
31:14
explain Amazon and and this this is interesting because you can see it's
31:18
actually like an American flag but with
31:22
a German eagle and German cross in it and then it's like the the Japanese war
31:27
flag leg with stars and stripes like it
31:31
it's like it's kind of it's a super weird thing and it's for you can see
31:35
this right here High Castle yeah this is not because Amazon's like you know
31:40
Hitler was right that's not what happened here it's
31:43
promoting sound bited on that real bad
31:47
yeah probably uh oh
31:52
oh there's nothing I can do that's unfortunate it's on it's on the internet
31:56
now all right rip okay it's on the now so Amazon was they're trying to promote
32:00
a show yeah Amazon was a really interesting sounding show yeah so it's a
32:04
new TV series it's called The Man in the High Castle and it's a story of a world
32:08
where the axis Nations won World War II so decisively that they took over the US
32:13
didn't attack Russia yeah yeah yeah where where just like everyone before
32:18
them who ever thought attacking Russia was a good
32:22
idea they also decided attacking Russia
32:25
was not a good wait no hold on just like whatever the point is attacking Russia
32:31
has never worked yeah not once yeah ever
32:35
yeah I'm not convinced the Russians could take over Russia I don't think
32:39
they have
32:42
oh so uh rough so so so so yeah so I
32:48
mean it definitely got so so let's talk
32:51
was it inappropriate I personally fall into the yes that was totally
32:55
inappropriate Camp um
32:58
what do you think uh yeah I think it's totally
33:02
inappropriate I can't I'm amazed at the amount of things that that must have
33:07
gone through and was approved the whole time because there's no way you can get
33:10
an ad on the subway without someone checking it out first yep someone from
33:14
New York City definitely was aware of this yeah someone from something some
33:19
form of management of New York City was like yeah cool all right yep so that got
33:24
approved not only through Amazon but partially through the government or like
33:27
what well maybe not government I don't know it might might send me private there like whatever their transport
33:31
Authority would be someone someone signed off on this um multiple times
33:37
like multiple people signed off of it on multiple stages I mean maybe they just
33:41
kind of thought well you know hey we're not saying it would have been a good
33:44
thing if the axis forces won World War
33:48
II that's not what happened the point of the movie is like how bad it would have
33:52
been I haven't well obviously I haven't watched idea I haven't watched it I
33:55
intend to watch the show now so that leads to our next question effective
33:59
marketing I think it totally worked we are talking about a show on Amazon's
34:04
thing right now there's no way we would have done that yep I I would not have
34:08
cared well not that I wouldn't have cared someone could have told me about that premise for a show and I would have
34:12
gone yeah Al alter alternative history I'm kind of into that um but I I Pro I
34:17
wouldn't have heard about it because I wouldn't have been browsing you know
34:21
Amazon for TV shows that are coming that that wouldn't have happened and this
34:25
blew up so now everyone knows knows about it and with with uh the Top Gear
34:30
guys going there and now this massive Thing amon's video streaming service is
34:34
getting more news right now I think a lot of press you know what I've got the
34:38
really good comment in twitch chat really good comment in twitch chat and we should probably do a Twitter Blitz on
34:42
this as well guys tweet at Linus and let us know let us know your thoughts on
34:46
this but this person went well hold on a second they didn't put swastikas up
34:52
so that they they're saying that's the line the line is swas cuz the the the
34:57
German eagle and the German Cross are
35:00
definitely German symbols of that time
35:04
in history but they aren't the symbol of
35:08
the Nazi party and to be fair not all
35:11
German people were bad to be very very
35:15
clear um
35:18
so yeah I don't know I I I still think I
35:22
personally think it was over my line it was over my line I think we can all
35:26
agree it was over everyone line if they had the swastika on it but yeah even
35:31
even even the eagle the war flag and the cross were were were were over my line
35:37
it was a little bit probably too aggressive what they could they could
35:41
have done a very similar but probably okay angle where they just ask the
35:45
question all over the place yeah what
35:49
like what if this bench had a Nazi flag on it like have that in text and high
35:53
point or whatever high high seed or whatever it's called yeah and high
35:57
castle castle um so here let me let me see let me have actually have a have a
36:02
look at um like you know maybe May yeah
36:06
maybe they could have maybe they could have even had one one picture of not
36:11
covering it yeah like if it here so so back to back to the picture for a second
36:15
yeah so if they'd had the seat have like
36:19
a little flag what if Hitler had one
36:22
high castle Amazon November 20th like kind of like this messaging that they
36:25
have up here I think people people would
36:28
have asked the question as opposed to gone what is this ad for yeah what is
36:34
wrong with them yeah I still don't know if that's necessarily even okay but I
36:38
think it's more okay than what was done yeah all right so let's let's go ahead
36:43
let's go straight to Twitter let's get the people who uh got it really quick uh
36:46
someone says I think even without swastikas it was slightly over the line
36:51
uh it's just a way to get people talking about the show easy marketing uh due to
36:54
Amazon's unfairly treated employees this happened
36:59
what uh the eagle was not a symbol of
37:03
the nsdap otherwise it would have been banned in Germany which is not and the
37:06
Iron Cross is still used oh wow so there you go interesting uh the swastika was a
37:10
religious symbol yeah we all know the swastika was not a Nazi symbol before
37:15
that doesn't change what it means now it's kind of like wasn't it slightly different anyways for the religious
37:19
symbol wasn't it like going the other way or something yeah it might have been the other way or whatever not going to
37:24
draw one because I'm sure that would get giffed to hell um
37:28
can you even imagine oh God anyway the
37:31
point H but the point is is that the meaning of things does change over time
37:36
um this is something that's been discussed a lot you know whether it's
37:39
whether it's a a word that's a slur and then turns into not one or a word that's
37:43
not a slur and turns into a slur or symbols that mean one thing and then
37:47
another thing or hand gestures that become obscene over time it's all it's
37:50
all part of the fluidity that is the way that we communicate with each other so
37:55
you can kind of run around and say you know
37:58
the f word is a bundle of sticks and twigs all day that's not going to change
38:01
what it meant and then you could also make the argument South Park did an
38:05
excellent episode on this that it also doesn't mean what it meant 30 years ago
38:09
anymore today but that's a debate that I'm not getting into point is like the
38:13
greatest thing ever what did I do you said GIF instead of GIF yeah so now
38:18
instead of like me going through Banning hordes of people for saying horrible
38:22
horrible things in chat they're all talking about you saying GIF instead of
38:26
GIF oh I use them interchange they're both technically correct all right a
38:30
four as a four-year Prime member I've never used Amazon Prime video okay
38:33
slightly on topic uh fell in love with the show last year uh it's entertaining
38:38
but not great and boring in some parts yeah that's probably how I would
38:42
write a love letter to my wife I fell in love with you last year you're
38:46
entertaining but not great and boring in some parts wow well I'm just saying
38:51
that's not a great that's not a great uh like sales pitch Oh I thought you said
38:54
you're going to write it to your wife no no I'm I'm saying that
38:58
I'm saying that's so rude she's a very nice person I know okay I personally
39:04
feel the world needs to lighten up this happened all we just moved past it I
39:07
think you know I would I would suggest
39:12
that anyone who thinks we should lighten up about anything that happened during
39:17
World War II should probably go hang
39:21
around at one of the museums in aitz or
39:25
uh strawberg or wherever else and like for me one of the most one of
39:30
the most revelatory experiences that I have ever had was standing next to the
39:36
oven and seeing like the burned shoes
39:39
that they had on display there like and
39:42
I was like holy crap this actually
39:45
happened it actually happened I'm standing right where it happened and
39:50
there's people still alive that were around doing that
39:53
yep um all right I don't know Pro it's
39:58
still a novel line is band tips people are getting wrecked left and right
40:01
whether it's from me ghost or the bot there's like there's like one person
40:05
getting banned in chat this whole time excellent step up boys I'll take you out
40:11
all right so uh this is kind of a a
40:14
rapid fire topic here I guess but uh
40:17
Samsung has done the unthinkable they are putting TLC nand so
40:24
that is three bit per cell n
40:27
in an Enterprise SSD so I will explain for a very brief
40:32
moment what a big deal is this is in the beginning Enthusiast and
40:39
Enterprise grade ssds were SLC so they
40:43
stored one bit per cell and the reason
40:46
that it was done that way is that was the only way to achieve reasonable
40:50
enough right endurance so that is how many times the SSD The Flash can be
40:55
written to before it fails over time as
40:58
it is apt to do way to go Luke my bad overtime mlc
41:04
which is what we call colloquially TW bit per cell flash although mlc is
41:09
technically anything that stores more than one bit per cell so TLC 3 bit
41:14
Perell flash is technically 3 bit per cell mlc but colloquially we call two
41:21
bit Perell mlc mlc so mlc flash showed
41:25
up on the scene and all of a sudden ssds got way more affordable for the consumer
41:30
those of you who were kind of paying attention in the early Enthusiast grade
41:33
SSD days will probably remember the x25 E and the x25 M Intel's gamechanging
41:41
ssds but before which everything was
41:45
kind of trash like had serious problems that would cause them to go from being
41:49
faster than a hard drive to actually slower than a hard drive if they got
41:54
like if they like hitched up on something
41:57
so the x2e was only available in 32 and
42:01
64 gig configurations and if I recall
42:04
correctly the 64 gig was like monstrously horrendously priced um
42:10
whereas the x25 M featuring mlc flash so
42:14
the e was SLC and the M featuring mlc flash was available in 80 and I want to
42:19
say maybe the 160 came later but it was 80 and 160 gig
42:23
configurations so mlc got good enough
42:26
but it wasn't good enough for the Enterprise for a long time that's where
42:30
Enterprise mlc came in so Enterprise mlc can do something to the tune of I think
42:34
it's 10 times the right cycles of SLC or
42:38
excuse me of mlc which still isn't as much as SLC but SLC is just so cost
42:43
prohibitive and the capacities are limited because you can store so much
42:47
more data per flash chip using mlc
42:50
technology so emlc happened now Samsung
42:54
was the first to do TLC Flash in a consumer drive with the
42:59
840 I want to say Evo oh crap I hope it was the 840 Evo um
43:08
I'm sure someone's going to correct me it was either the 840 or the 840 Evo can't remember exactly someone's GNA
43:12
someone's going to correct me whatever so they were the first to do a consumer
43:16
TLC SSD since then everyone else has
43:20
been trying to do TLC some have released drives but I don't know if you guys saw
43:24
that latest one from uh micron
43:27
it's abominable like Samsung has figured
43:31
out people are saying it's the Evo thank you no it wasn't the pro the pro was uh
43:36
was mlc okay so the non-pro was the TLC one so other guys have been trying to
43:41
figure out TLC for quite some time now
43:44
uh because it gives you less right performance and less endurance but way
43:50
more capacity and it's cheaper so Samsung figured out with fine-tuning
43:54
their controller and the Flash uh because they're one of the one of the
43:58
only I think are they the only one they
44:02
might be the okay don't quote me on this but Samsung may be the only completely
44:06
vertically integrated SSD maker where they make the dram cache they make the
44:11
controller they make the flash they make the freaking they assemble the freaking
44:14
pcbs they make they do the firmware they do the whole thing so they made it all
44:19
work together so cohesively that they were able to get acceptable performance
44:22
in spite of the fact that they were using this essentially like USB thumb
44:26
drive grade flash not quite it's bined as well
44:30
so it's like the best of the TLC flash so anyway now while everyone else
44:37
is still using emmc or or emlc or worst
44:41
case scenario mlc for for an Enterprise grade Drive Samsung is releasing a TLC
44:49
Drive what this allows them to do and I I'm finally getting to this what them
44:53
allows this to do is deliver an Enterprise SSD
44:57
with a price of less than 60 cents a gig
45:00
and a capacity up to 3.84 Tab in a 2 and
45:05
half inch form factor that my friends is
45:12
bananas yes yes it's
45:15
bananas b so they're they're using their
45:19
3D nand and they're using TLC in order to get unheard of densities we actually
45:24
have a unit on routee uh I haven't actually talked to Samsung in over a
45:29
year um so and it wasn't even me I was
45:33
just like Nick do we still have a contact at Samsung SSD I don't think
45:36
that's true yeah because we haven't talked to them at all since they provided those drives for the Forum that
45:41
was over a year ago yeah I just blew your mind didn't I
45:45
yes you did um so I was like do we even still have a contact there cuz I want to
45:49
check this thing out so that is coming and I'm super stoked because higher
45:53
capacity ssds cannot be a bad thing
45:57
um so looking at competitors Intel's DC s3510 has a maximum capacity of 1.6
46:02
terabytes and micron's m510 DC tops out
46:05
at just under a terabyte pretty cool stuff and something
46:10
to realize is when you choose a storage solution it's never really as simple as
46:15
this drive is the best it's always trade-offs whether the trade-off is cost
46:20
capacity read speed right speed endurance uh vibration resistance um uh
46:27
a a a form factor like density how much of it you can cram in there there's
46:30
there's all these different trade-offs so this Enterprise Drive even though
46:33
it's not going to be as heavy duty for rights as another Enterprise Drive based
46:38
on emlc or if you can find some rare SLC
46:41
drives out there SLC but what it will be
46:44
great for is really fast random reads if you need a lot of storage so I could see
46:49
I could see someone like Facebook eating these up actually I believe the front
46:54
page is all in RAM right now don't quote me on that I think they moved it yeah I
46:59
think they moved thing talking about like oh wow it's all in SSD and then I
47:04
think yeah I think they've moved all to RAM however that doesn't mean that
47:08
having another way faster than mechanical tier that's way higher
47:13
capacity isn't going to help them out big time like big time so so there you
47:19
go that happened this week I'm like super stoked on playing with that you
47:22
know what else happened this week is Seagate shipped US 35
47:27
of their 8 terab Enterprise capacity drives got a lot of people saying yeah
47:31
but the right speed sucks no no these are not the archival 8 terabyte drives
47:36
I'm aware of those that is not what we have we have the SATA 3 6 gbit per
47:42
second SATA Enterprise capacity drives so these
47:47
are full read full right they are not
47:50
quite as optimized for random as something like the SAS version um and
47:54
they're just the basic one they don't have self- encrypting Drive functionality unfortunately but they are
47:59
balling they are awesome and I'm actually I've been waiting for these for
48:04
a lot of projects I've got a lot of stuff planned for these drives we're
48:07
going to do an on-site backup server we're going to do an off-site backup server we are going to investigate
48:12
unraid versus freeass over the next little bit um what else do I have
48:17
planned right and a video that I promised months ago
48:22
when I originally did my freas build and
48:25
I was like here's the storinator it's running fre Ness I promised to do a
48:30
performance followup well the performance on it has been
48:34
trash like too trash like I did
48:37
something wrong there's something wrong with it the problem is that it had all
48:43
of our data on it and I couldn't I
48:46
couldn't reformat it I couldn't I because I think I think it's a
48:49
combination of things it's using native 4K sector drives it's using the
48:54
nonoptimal uh it's using non optimal numbers of drives per vdev and uh let's
49:00
see what was the what was the other suspected issue anyway there's a number of things that I that I might have
49:05
gotten wrong during the configuration setup um so I wanted to take another
49:09
crack at it but I've had nowhere to put that
49:12
data so I'm currently transferring at about 500 megabytes per second off of
49:17
the Fraz and onto another machine and then I'm going to copy it somewhere else
49:21
so I'm going to have it on a hardware raid and I'm going to have it on an
49:24
unraid while I retool the freeas box and
49:28
then copy everything back over there so I'm pretty excited about
49:31
that all right so this is this is uh this is very unfortunate uh over on the
49:37
BBC toddler's eyeball sliced by drone
49:40
propeller so brutal yeah so the the
49:44
Drone was flown by a family friend and
49:47
uh yeah the operator lost control of the
49:51
Drone and he'll need several operations
49:54
before he can have a prosthetic eye f
49:57
which is uh which is really unfortunate I mean it's one of those things where I
50:01
don't think we are going to uh like I
50:05
don't think we're going to start seeing regulations in terms of whether you can
50:08
fly drones inside your house or whatever else but it is it has it has certainly
50:14
it has certainly made me consider whether I would fly a drone even
50:18
anywhere near my kids even Outdoors um
50:22
yeah I don't know cuz when they when they go full runaway mode they can move
50:26
pretty pretty darn fast it can actually get a little a little aggressive yeah
50:30
there's a fair amount of videos based on that so uh the Drone pilot said it was
50:35
up for about 60 seconds as I brought it back down to land it just clipped the
50:38
tree and spun around so super super
50:43
unfortunate someone said that that's why the Drone should have foam bumpers
50:48
doesn't always stop something like this but probably would have helped and and
50:51
could have helped could have helped but hindsight is always 2020 and you always
50:57
I mean for the thousands and tens of thousands and probably hundreds of
51:00
thousands of drone flights most of the time no one got
51:04
their eyeball sliced open yes yeah um yeah H there's a new Raspberry Pi on the
51:10
scene this is actually insane yeah the Raspberry Pi zero which is look how
51:15
small it is it's tiny it's fantastic look how much it
51:19
costs it's it's in the picture it's yeah five bucks yeah yeah really cheap there
51:25
you go one g processor I believe yep um
51:30
HDMI out I think it has USB in oh you've
51:33
got all the stats there my head yeah was 512 Megs of uh
51:38
ddr2 yeah like it's five bucks for like it honestly relatively capable computer
51:44
yep very cool stuff kind of cool smallest form factor ever 65 millimet
51:50
someone saying it's sold out already 6 and half CM by 30 mm so that's 3 cm by 5
51:55
mm which is half cimer sold out within
51:58
24 hours yes friends people were
52:01
snapping these puppies up real real quick fast that's really cool the amount
52:07
of like embedded projects you can do with that would be sick Yeah we actually
52:11
would like to do more stuff like that in the future uh we've got some plans for
52:15
some stuff I don't know if we've got it in time for this year I think we might run out of time to do that one thing we
52:19
discussed but maybe you've got the you've got all the parts you need for
52:23
that other project that we ordered stuff for like ages ago I'm hoping
52:28
didn't get lost in the but at the very least we do have the majority of them I
52:33
looked through the box at least most of it is there I'm missing a lot of the
52:36
boxes but I think those boxes were thrown out and I think the things were
52:40
put in the one box so I'm just hoping I've got all of them I don't know so how
52:44
do you feel about this Yahoo mail begins blocking users with ad block uhoh we
52:50
were unable to dis display Yahoo mail please disable ad blocker to continue
52:56
using Yahoo mail d
53:02
d I think there's a lot of angles you can take on this uh I think it can be
53:08
unintelligent for a website or a service to aggressively go after people that use
53:13
ad block but I think it is entirely up to
53:17
them um I think this is YouTube was tinkering with it for a bit Yeah I think
53:21
this is a very unclassy way to do it because people's emails are extremely
53:26
important and to just not allow them to access them until they do a thing that
53:30
they might not know how to do if their kid installed ad block for them or
53:33
something is very aggressive and not really okay but if you gave them like a
53:38
warning that you're going to do it in the future or something that would at
53:42
least be nicer and they didn't do that and
53:45
that's I do not like how they did it I
53:48
think I think Yahoo's biggest mistake is uh thinking that anyone cares about Emil
53:54
oh my goodness it's so ridiculous if I if I got that message if I used an ad
53:58
blocker and I was like so I can't access
54:01
my Yahoo mail I just be like okay I
54:05
guess I'll use another email service I have to confess something you still have
54:09
Yahoo mail not me my girlfriend really
54:13
yeah you know that's only one step better than AOL I know which is only one
54:18
step better than using your ISP y okay
54:23
it's like it's bad so you don't you don't have to go to like uses Apple Maps
54:27
you don't have to go to tech hell but you do have to go to like Tech Purgatory
54:31
for a bit okay okay I mean you have to accept that sentence that was a light
54:35
sentence but like I'm I'm I'm pushing to fix things I actually don't mind Apple
54:41
Maps Google Maps has I haven't used it in a long time when I did use it it was
54:45
super terrible it's way better okay uh Google Maps has has actually misled me
54:51
more drastically than Apple Maps ever has so even though Apple Maps isn't
54:55
always perfect Google Maps has gotten to the point
54:59
where uh do you remember when I was supposed to come back here for that hot
55:02
dog challenge super fun yes so I was
55:05
sitting I like I was I was I was sitting watching my Google Maps on my phone and
55:11
it was like traffic yellow ahead okay
55:16
I'm sitting there I know for a fact no one has moved on this road in 15 minutes
55:21
so the traffic is yellow okay and which
55:24
is usually not bad the ETA to the office office just went up one minute for every
55:29
minute that I sat there so it was straight up not counting for the fact
55:35
that nobody was moving which I thought was the entire point so that it could
55:41
map you around things why they bought ways wasn't it like I think that was
55:45
literally the whole point I don't know that's pretty rough all right Nick Nick
55:49
claims that Apple Maps tried to send him 40 minutes away for Tim Hortons when he
55:53
was literally 500 met away from one you know what Google Maps has gotten a lot
55:56
worse about that too like you can't just be like Home Depot and it'll be it'll be
56:00
one in like coitum like I they they it's okay
56:04
there's it's pretty bad they're both pretty bad maps for some reason and I
56:08
find browsers in general seem to be getting
56:11
worse yeah what's that like in the last like two months I swear my browser's
56:15
gotten worse what's that browser that just went into beta that everyone has high yeah Vivaldi maybe it's maybe
56:21
Vivaldi is our last hope but like did you like Opera much no it's from same I
56:26
know so I know I don't know why everyone thinks it's going to be the Savior it'll
56:31
be cool if it is but like I
56:34
know I'm not expecting much but then if it's awesome then I'll be even happier
56:39
so that's good this is interesting virtual reality needs tweaks more women
56:44
than men get motion sickness with oculus rift a virtual reality headset very very
56:50
interesting so this is a University of Minnesota study isn't this isn't part of
56:56
the study that more women than men get motion sickness yes so um yeah so blah
57:02
blah how to affects users has found that for every three men that get seasick
57:07
five women will so they tested having participants play a VR and that's
57:11
seasick so they tested having participants play a VR game for 15
57:15
minutes 35% of subjects got sick within 10 minutes of those 70% were women so
57:23
this can mean a number of things number
57:26
one is it backs up what I said last week men and women are not the same so to be
57:31
clear I'm not saying they're not equal I'm just saying that you know a pile of
57:35
hammers is not necessarily better than
57:38
six screwdrivers depending on what you need so does that mean they can be equal
57:42
and just thought the same or let's say a pile of screwdrivers there pile of
57:46
hammers and piles of screwdrivers so like to equal natural effect they would
57:51
need to be at 75% hm wait aren't they doing better
57:56
then no 35% of the subjects got sick
57:59
overall so 65% were fine of those 35 70%
58:04
of them were women yeah so but women got
58:08
more sick but women already get more motion
58:12
sick yes so is it any worse than it actually currently is no I don't believe
58:17
so so what do they have to work on well
58:21
what they have to work on is the overall percentage Yeah Yeah Yeah they just have
58:26
to make it better but that's exactly yeah that's what they're doing yeah I
58:31
know I know I know I know I know it's really funny because it it really didn't
58:36
take very long for um for someone someone someone we need
58:41
viral reality needs tweaks also by the way it's not out yet they're working on
58:48
it and when it comes out that'll be version one which everyone knows is like
58:52
not really the one you're really that excited for yeah and they're going tweak
58:56
down the road even V2 is not going to be like the greatest thing ever like I'm
59:00
probably I'm probably just going to kind
59:03
of live with feeling sick because I suspect I'm going to feel sick I I yeah
59:08
I've been really good in that department I don't do amazing on boats okay like
59:13
actually I'm okay on boats maybe I'll be fine I'm pretty solid on boats but I'm
59:16
not like there are people that are better than me I have felt bad on a boat
59:20
once but I've been on boats many times so I don't know um but like I can do
59:25
roller coaster standing up and like I
59:28
yeah I have no problem with VR at all I think part of it is I'm when did you
59:33
ever stand on a roller coaster no like VR roller coaster
59:37
ah I didn't mean a real life one
59:40
horrible idea um yeah I can do VR roller
59:43
coaster standing up and stuff no problem I think part of that is I never have
59:48
actually felt a huge amount of immersion in VR really like there's some people
59:52
that are like oh like I'm totally in the game and I'm like nope
59:56
I'm not feels like a monitor that's strapped to my face it's a very cool
60:00
effect but I think for me to get really immersed there's going to have to be a lot more other things so like even when
60:06
you're upside down on a roller coaster there's people that have like I've seen
60:09
videos of people that'll like throw up the second they go upside down because they're interal balance goes off and
60:13
stuff my mind is like nope we're
60:16
standing I think part of it is just the sheer amount of video games that I've
60:19
played right honestly I think that's a huge part of it yeah I I would be really
60:25
interested to know how the women break
60:28
down of the 70% that got sick verus
60:31
Gamers versus nonamers that would be really interesting cuz my wife can play
60:35
TF2 uh Left 4 Dead uh top down games no
60:39
problem I I put her in
60:42
Portal and she was done within like a
60:45
minute interesting yeah as soon as she goes through a portal she's like oh I'm
60:48
sick nope done done can't do it so this is even somewhat but but while while she
60:54
can handle normal games where you don't change where gravity
60:59
doesn't move around on you all the time um she's she's not like a hardcore gamer
61:03
by any means like she hasn't been gaming since she was a little kid I would be
61:06
really interested to know how much your
61:09
your childhood affects something like this and oh and yeah boats a lot tons of
61:16
sports lots of video games that was my childhood not boats a lot but boats at
61:20
least every summer for like two weeks straight and like it's it's it's
61:23
obviously like it's obvious that there's going to be some there's going to be
61:27
some uh nature versus nurture here but here's here's an interesting fact um I
61:32
used to get sick in the I used to get car sick uh pretty quickly like within
61:36
about five minutes of reading in the car I would get sick I do with drivers that
61:41
I don't find very good oh okay well I would get sick no matter what this is
61:45
when I was a kid um I love reading I
61:49
love reading and I loved playing on my Game Gear when I was a kid okay all them
61:54
batteries so basically that's why you like Loop so much I would just play
61:58
through it and it would get to the point where I would feel so sick that I
62:02
couldn't even look up from the book because that would be like too much and
62:09
I'd like and eventually I'd give in and I'd have to put it down and I'd have to
62:13
just kind of chill for like an hour and then I could go and then I'd go right
62:17
back to it so I do wonder if I've built a bit of a tolerance and I wonder if
62:21
that's something that other people have done as well you just like force yourself through it yeah yeah cuz is
62:26
like I need to know what happens in the next chapter and feeling sick is
62:30
straight up not more important than that right now I've been there I've been
62:33
there yeah um so Sony is apparently
62:36
working on a PS4 Remote Play app for the
62:39
well for PC and Mac which is pretty cool so here's the original article from uh
62:45
lonus Tech tips uh hold on no sorry
62:48
here's the original article from The Verge sorry my bad I would I'm so stoked
62:52
for the day that we just like happened to get some WR dude and we have original
62:58
articles from line of tech tips yeah I know right that would be super cool
63:01
should happen at some point yeah can't be impossible yeah cuz I mean come on
63:06
how hard was this article to write Remote Play is one of the PlayStation
63:10
4's most underrated features probably because it only works on the VA and some
63:15
Sony smartphones that no one cares about something something this app should
63:19
bring Sony in line with Microsoft which launched Xbox One streaming a while ago
63:23
here's a tweet these things are cool I want them
63:27
to make it so I can just play these games on my computer yep that would be
63:30
better I mean here's something I want to know why can't I just buy a virtual
63:36
PlayStation 4 yes if I'm willing to give Sony $400 to not make any hardware
63:41
shouldn't they Embrace that or you can do my scary but kind of
63:46
cool idea the uh proprietary Drive thing
63:49
do you remember that yep yep yep for the
63:52
for the viewers did did I ever even say this on the show I think so yeah okay
63:56
for the viewers you could get like an Xbox One or PlayStation 4 like optical
64:01
drive or hard drive or whatever and then
64:04
like put the discs in that you have to buy from the store so that they know
64:08
they have their copy protection crap or the hard drive that's controlled by them
64:12
and you can't format or something I don't know cuz it's gotten to the point
64:15
now where Xbox one and PlayStation 4 are just
64:18
PCS they're just PCS there's nothing
64:22
special about them which like aren't even that well priced anymore so if I'm
64:26
like look I don't need your UI I don't
64:29
care about your Netflix app I don't care about any of this stuff I really just
64:33
want a game on my PC why can't I just give you my money and then you can just
64:37
make that work for me I I would be interested to see how many people would do it and like people can be upset all
64:42
they want about you know well what I have to pay $400 to get access to
64:45
exclusive titles uh game developers should just release the titles on PC
64:49
okay but that isn't happening so I agree but yeah it's not happening exactly like
64:53
you just said and I know a lot of people that buy entire consoles for game
64:57
launches like Halo 5 y so I wouldn't be that surprised if it did happen I don't
65:01
know if I would do it but I do know quite a few people that
65:04
would all right what else we got here uh
65:09
in news that surprises absolutely no one EA is already planning more Battlefront
65:13
games y EA confirms its deal with Disney
65:16
which is for like 10 years or something like that Su uh oh my goodness we never
65:21
did our sponsors So speaking of uh
65:24
whatever Phantom something that happens every time yeah wow we have 88,200
65:29
viewers right now yay 88,200 of you can
65:32
use offer code W PG for 20% off at
65:37
phantom.pro if for the next 60 days for the next 60 days really that long offer
65:42
code is valid for 60 days nice cool so
65:45
oh yeah I guess I don't offer code as a Christmas present and just watch them
65:50
hopefully like you a lot um so yeah so these are gorilla glass screen
65:53
protectors for a variety of devices they've got a lot lot of different screen protectors in fact they've got
65:57
their standard ones now they've also got their new two-way privacy glass screen
66:01
protectors available for some Apple devices and uh I guess that's pretty
66:05
straightforward it goes on without any bubbles if you've watched any of our CES
66:10
content from last year you'll know everything there is to know about Phantom glass we played soccer with the
66:15
iPhone 6 that Nick light is now using as
66:18
his daily driver it's that one yeah with Phantom glass on the front and with one
66:24
of those vasel cases as a bumper around the back vessel Vel and a dbrand skin on
66:29
the back or around the edges for the case and between dbrand vessel vasel v i
66:36
don't anyway and Phantom glass that phone completely unscathed
66:41
completely fine completely fine so there you go it's every bit as good as the
66:45
gorilla glass that's already on your phone except you can peel it off and you
66:48
could replace it if you do something incredibly stupid like really try to
66:53
scratch it cuz that's usually how gorilla glass gets scratched but that
66:56
said interesting side note Gorilla Glass is not all made equal uh my iPhone 6s is
67:02
already covered in micros scratches like covered in them whereas the Droid Turbo
67:07
that I've been using for a year is like pristine and they live in the same
67:12
pocket I never put this in my pocket with my keys even Keys shouldn't in
67:17
theory scratch I don't do anything with
67:20
this like I'm actually pretty good with it I don't know I've really noticed a
67:24
significant difference from device to device and the iPhone 6 for example uh
67:29
both its own screen which I used for a while before I put Phantom glass on it
67:33
and the Phantom glass screen that I had on it were fine but the iPhone 6s it's
67:39
possible actually because they don't advertise it as Gorilla Glass anymore it's possible Apple actually switched
67:43
I'm not sure all right and freshbooks
