all right well that took a lot longer to get going than I was hoping we're having
0:05
some internet difficulties over here uh
0:08
the funny thing about it is that we've actually got two isps here one of which
0:14
is our fiber connection and the other of which is our um our cable connection and
0:21
the cable connection we were having an issue with those guys where they they
0:24
actually turned us off for about a month because we were going over our bandwidth
0:29
allotment and they were supposed to turn us off for a weekend yeah it was
0:32
supposed to be for a weekend and then they just didn't so whatever that's cool
0:38
I guess and then the fiber connection uh is just not sending any UDP packets
0:44
right now so it's TCP only which means
0:47
like very little Skype yeah not not a
0:52
whole lot we can do on that one so we're we're like trying to find a solution
0:56
here oh right right right so when our cable provider turned the internet back
0:59
back on the issue that we had with them is that they haven't put us in bridge
1:04
mode so it's our our modems acting as a
1:08
router but then it's not because our switch here isn't working and the
1:13
wireless on it isn't on and I have no idea what the username and password is
1:18
to log into it and then like I was like okay well maybe they maybe it's in
1:23
bridge mode now so I plugged in a router and then whatever so long story short
1:29
we're live now thank you guys for tuning in to the W show we've got a bunch of
1:32
great topics for you today I hope I have actually done very little of my usual
1:37
due diligence so Luke will be in charge of making sure that the show isn't a
1:41
total waste of everyone's time best part about that is that I did very little of
1:46
my usual due diligence in our defense he
1:49
was sick this
1:53
week
1:57
I it's a holiday yeah it's a holiday
2:00
today it's a stat neither of us are getting paid for this yeah I shouldn't
2:03
be here at all so nope bam there you go
2:07
uh what Wi-Fi oh right right justifications we have to tether we have
2:11
to tether to get Wii can't you just you should just be able to yeah should have
2:15
would have could have not working yeah
2:19
it's like why is life so difficult I just want to make it really clear that
2:24
it is not the fault of our sponsor ASUS
2:27
that our network is not working laptops are fine the laptops are good in fact
2:32
our review of this particular laptop is coming out very soon and I think you
2:36
guys will be quite impressed with the performance that we were able to get out
2:40
of a portable device um but in the meantime we're just
2:45
going to have to actually do a show for you here guys so I am waiting for the
2:50
document to load up so that I can there it
2:53
goes so that I can tell you what we're going to talk about um so the NSA has
3:00
reportedly been using a heart bleed for
3:03
years shock and awe um yeah we could be
3:08
looking at 10g Wi-Fi which is pretty darn impressive
3:14
so quantenna has announced an eight stream configuration that could be
3:18
capable of some absolutely crazy throughput and could be coming as soon
3:22
as 2015 uh what else we got Intel is
3:26
apparently losing billions on tablets and smart phones so that's worrisome
3:32
yeah or not I'm actually going to play a little bit of Devil's Advocate on that
3:36
topic later and NVIDIA has released their most epic lineup of new graphics
3:41
cards ever more on that later on in the show super performan
3:46
super intro they probably have speed holes
3:50
there is no sound in this intro none I will kill him that is two weeks in a
3:57
row I don't know the music
4:00
but we'll sing along anyways I had to do this last week too this is terrible look
4:05
lineus Tech tips there's a there's a thing there oh hey Squarespace there's a
4:08
thing there too so guys Squarespace is the fast easy and convenient and
4:13
inexpensive way to set up your own beautiful web oh and there's more
4:17
sponsors ASUS Rog so the g750 JZ is
4:21
actually our presenting sponsor for this week's episode of The W show it is this
4:25
notebook right here the funny thing to me about this sponsorship is that this
4:29
isn't really the way I would recommend using this particular notebook this is
4:33
this isn't really what it's for we're going to talk a little bit more about
4:36
what it's for in the upcoming review um and also later on when I do my sponsor
4:42
spot forus here because it's really good
4:45
at certain stuff in fact I think you were pretty surprised we been and I don't know how
4:51
much are we are we talking about the video like what we did in the video I
4:55
don't know that's like I almost just said it and then I was like wait I don't
4:59
know why why don't we talk about the video later okay okay oh we have a guest
5:04
today we haven't actually had a guest in a while so it'll be Jerry Barnacles Berg
5:09
will be joining us in a little while here we're going to call him on um the
5:14
telephone but first why don't we go through one of our topics here so oh my
5:18
goodness I don't have my
5:21
uh HDMI look guys it's a
5:25
holiday I should be off today yeah he
5:28
should be off today yeah what we're doing is illegal is it
5:33
I'm not sure I'm not paying you it's a holiday we could argue that no I think
5:39
it's technically slavery even if it's of your own valtion that you're here no
5:44
matter and Canada I don't know if that's the same everywhere else well I I
5:48
legitimately told him not to come in today and that it was fine and I would
5:51
do the show by myself I didn't want to miss two weeks in a row and he knows I'm
5:55
not capable of doing it by myself he knows that I would have had to have uh
6:01
jonfer here joner join me I can never remember I was going to say does his
6:04
name change every time well I can I can
6:08
never remember what I call him we could just call him Slender Man if you want
6:12
that's that's yeah he honestly looks like Slender Man Okay so jonfer here um
6:17
I I I think he fig Luke figured that J my shirt on I can't even get it off he's
6:22
gunning for your shirt and your job I I like I tried for a little while and was
6:26
like I'm either going to break him or I'm going to leave the shirt on and if
6:29
Luke didn't join me on the show I was going to have to have a co-host so that
6:33
was going to be pretty uncomfortable for uh you know Mr soon to be unemployed
6:38
over there so there you there you go right um have I even managed to
6:43
introduce our topics for today you did some of them did I do some of them yep
6:48
oh fantastic you started to did I start to oh no I did the whole thing I even
6:52
did the intro already I know we did the intro already I just didn't know if you
6:55
did all I didn't know if you actually did four topics the best part is that
6:58
you did different topics than I announced in the in the YouTube
7:02
announcement which know what they were oh is it up we should see if it's up
7:07
public so it should be up in theory it's up but who knows yeah it's up all right
7:12
cool and there's like 2,000 people watching thank you guys for tuning in on
7:16
Good Friday hi everyone did you just say bye everyone said hi everyone Hi
7:20
everyone that's good you know what it's funny we are both wearing other than
7:25
lonus Tech tip shirts the most appropriate possible shirts today yeah
7:29
cuz we're streaming on Twitch and our sponsor for today's show is Squarespace
7:34
you know why I'm actually wearing this shirt and it's a really good thing
7:37
because it's comfy isn't it people think that more on that more on that in a
7:41
moment people think that I plan out my like sponsor segments like really well
7:45
and I'm some kind of a professional but
7:49
like well you're technically a professional today could have just as easily been a Dollar Shave Club
7:53
integration and like I didn't shave you
7:56
know did I but today it happened to be a
7:59
Squarespace integration and I happened to wear this for pajamas last night and
8:05
I haven't actually changed
8:09
yet so yes I'm wearing
8:12
holidays I'm wearing it because it's comfortable and and I'm still wearing it
8:18
because it's still comfortable and doesn't quite smell bad enough yet nice
8:23
nice that's always a good benefit that is what it is all about my friend I'm
8:28
trying to get the twitch chat so I can see them but then it was like I'm not
8:33
going to load anything CU you don't have flash player installed and I'm like you can technically still load the chat and
8:37
it didn't so that sucked Max Key frame
8:41
interval is currently at 4 seconds please set it to two
8:46
seconds thank you maybe we should do an
8:49
actual topic let's do one topic and then let's bring on Jerry right so this was
8:53
originally posted on the Forum by top war gamer I'm going to go ahead and hope
8:57
that my screen sharing is working here
9:00
oh okay I have some something playing in the background here I have no oh oh it's
9:07
a yeah there we go oh turn off the twitch stream because you're on my phone
9:12
I paused it did you I just wanted this all right good enough okay because I was
9:16
worried about the phone I will settle for that um okay so posted by top war
9:20
gamer Microsoft wait what this isn't the right topic is
9:23
it what the what the broken
9:27
link what oh why did it open over there you guys
9:32
can see this right I just opened a new tab I opened a new tab in this Internet
9:37
Explorer man like what's your problem okay why are you using Internet Explorer
9:41
because you have no reason I want to give Microsoft a chance to impress me
9:47
they have ads about how Internet Explorer is not that bad anymore is that
9:52
actually their thing I think I think they did something like that like it's
9:57
or like like the campaign was like it's better than I expected or something like
10:02
that um I I don't it's so bad you know I
10:05
found one use for it okay so hold on hold on guys watch this watch this I'mma
10:09
click this thing and it opens up a tab
10:12
like over here not not at the end not at the end not right beside what he's doing
10:17
beside it but like here is that because it's categorizing
10:21
them no CU there's because there's Tech tips tab here yeah like I could there is
10:26
no justifiable reason for it to do that
10:29
anyway so top war gamer posted it the original article is from The Verge I'm
10:33
just going to go ahead and put this back and that is that the heart bleed exploit
10:38
has been in use by the NSA for years
10:43
what's up oh we got we got we got okay okay I
10:47
think our Our Guest today Barac is gonna have something to say about how great
10:52
Internet Explorer is he's he's filling our document with propaganda about how
10:57
Internet Explorer is good so anyway Bloomberg reports that the hartle bug
11:01
has been known and exploited by the NSA for at least two wait two
11:07
weeks I think that's a typo I thought that was supposed to be two years yeah I
11:11
think it was I think it was two years let's go let's go ahead and uh let's go
11:15
ahead and double check that do you want to go through the rest of be wrong but
11:18
yeah uh so according to Anonymous sources the bug was Kept Secret in the
11:22
interest of National Security good job guys we hate you um the agency was used
11:27
using it to obtain passwords and other data um it gave them access to two3 of the
11:32
web servers that are out there right now um the NSA has denied the allegations
11:37
but honestly who believes any of the crap they say lately anyways so who the
11:41
hell knows the White House has also denied the allegations which good for
11:45
you also no one is really listening to you either so yeah so there you go uh
11:51
and yes two years not two weeks that was a that was a typo in the old uh the old
11:56
dock there all right so let's bring on jar to uh to go ahead and try to justify
12:01
the existence of Internet Explorer to us here have we just done this topic
12:05
already we're just done that topic we're the the the topic is thank you NSA we
12:10
appreciate your business all right and
12:13
thank you Barnacles we appreciate your business as well tell us how fantastic
12:17
Internet Explorer is Internet Explorer is pretty fantastic guys that's why I'm
12:22
using Chrome right
12:25
now are you wearing a Microsoft shirt by any chance what's that are you wearing a
12:30
Microsoft shirt by any chance no I'm not no this is been an epic sponsor combo no
12:35
I probably have a Microsoft cup around here somewhere though I got this twitch
12:39
shirt by fanboying out at their booth at PA Prime like they didn't even know who
12:42
I was they just gave me a shirt cuz I took a picture really yeah nice I was
12:46
like I stream my new thing all the time but whatever I love your I love your
12:50
shirt Barnacles just saying oh thank You Adventure Time Is Awesome it's always an
12:55
adventure you know people say it's a stoner show
12:59
but do you agree with that it is it absolutely is because
13:04
every time I watch it I'm like I I don't understand anything like at all what's
13:08
going on I'm just like man if I was high it understand it we can watch it not
13:12
stoned but that doesn't mean that it's not catering to St people because I
13:17
guarantee you you're not understanding what's going on though are
13:22
you actually I I okay maybe maybe I'm
13:26
maybe I'm just I can generally follow it to
13:29
yeah maybe I'm just an idiot but I can mostly maybe it's because we're not
13:32
stoned maybe yeah maybe that's the
13:36
problem what came first I'm not saying anything what came first the Stoners not
13:42
understanding the show or the show becoming incomprehensible to
13:48
stoners it's like wait a second yeah
13:51
hold on you guys are breaking up a little bit sorry about that let me think about that must be my awesome Al Gore
13:56
internet yeah you know how it is I oh our internet is like pretty pretty
14:00
fantastic over here too so yeah we're using a phone yeah we're using a phone
14:04
for our laptops hello
14:08
Internet all right so why don't we get into actually this is going to be a
14:12
great topic to talk to you about um because it's it's one of the more
14:16
cryptic things that I think I've seen out of Microsoft in the last little
14:19
while here is our stream still called PAX East Sunday recap what the hell
14:25
that's probably why hey can you can you guys call me back really quick screwed
14:29
up a Skype really bad it's like I can't it just sounds like it's all
14:34
jumbled that's
14:38
terrible oh all the
14:41
terrible oh I hate this
14:45
show I hate this show wait what's going
14:48
on here there we go okay okay uh here do
14:53
you want to talk to him okay so in the meantime I'm going to change our stream
14:57
name and then bring up our next top iPic here so what was I what was I what was I
15:03
oh right the WAN Show so Fridays at
15:08
1630 Pacific yeah okay so let's go ahead
15:12
and update that I swear I did that earlier so this is one of the weirder
15:16
things that we've seen out of Microsoft in the last little while here can I just
15:20
uh I just oh hello hello do this hold on
15:24
let's let's bring you back there there we go so I'm just gonna I'm going to
15:28
screen share with myself here this is posted on the Forum by Good Bites
15:31
Microsoft has revealed a quote unquote hidden feature in the Windows 8.1 update
15:36
one which will allow the system to be installed on a system which will allow
15:41
the OS to be installed on a system with a 16 gig SSD and still have free space
15:46
for your programs reports bit tech.net
15:49
so allegedly the way that they're achieving this is by instead of having
15:55
some parts of the OS compressed and some un compressed it's an uncompressed and
16:00
compressed yeah sorry sorry instead of having the whole OS uncompressed they're
16:03
leaving the the super critical parts uncompressed and then they're actually
16:08
having a bunch of it still be compressed with a pointer file that shows it where
16:12
to go now there are some limitations so you are not allowed to install it on a
16:18
spinning drive for example you must be running a UEFI based PC running in UEFI
16:23
mode you let's hold on a second drive only additional oh additional Drive that
16:28
are installed can be mechanical so it's just the boot drive and it applies to
16:33
client editions of Windows 8.1 there are also some backup antivirus and
16:37
encryption tools that aren't compatible with wiim boot images um they claim that
16:44
there won't be a performance
16:48
Delta how uh there's probably there's probably going to be a little bit of a
16:51
performance hit I mean there' have to be anytime compressions involved there's
16:55
going to be a little bit of a hit but it'll probably be negligible really so if it's negligible
17:00
like this is a legitimate question if it's negligible why do we bother on
17:04
compressing anything in the first place because sometimes negligible
17:09
pisses people off like Benchmark junkies and people that are like really into
17:12
benchmarking stuff like that you know if if you're if you want to squeeze every
17:16
ounce of power out of your computer you don't want you don't want anything like bringing it down that's why people are
17:20
like so hardcore about overclocking their gpus and stuff like that I mean
17:23
for the average user yeah I don't see the problem with it I think everybody should compress it and to be honest ntf
17:28
F has supported that forever you can actually go into your NTS volume and enable compression across the whole
17:32
volume and reclaim a ton of disc space but how often do you hear of people
17:35
using that feature you just really don't have you spent any time with that
17:40
feature to see what kind of a performance impact we're looking at uh
17:44
on the NTFS compression yes on the wiim
17:47
boot stuff no I haven't done any any testing on it okay so NTFS compression
17:52
like like what are we dealing with because I mean there's two ways of looking at this so sand Force SSD is
17:57
aside the ones that are already compressing the data you're writing to
18:00
them and then uncompressing them on the fly but if you take a drive that
18:04
performs really really well without Hardware compression so something like
18:08
um an Intel 730 series or something like an 840 Pro could we be looking at a
18:13
whole new world of performance if you have the CPU resources such that the
18:18
compression and uncompression isn't going to slow anything down and you are
18:22
effectively making better use of the speed of your drive oh absolutely no no
18:27
you're absolutely right I mean if the physical data is compressed and you don't have to move as much physical data
18:32
between the actual bus from the drive to the CPU for instance then the CPU is
18:36
your limiting factor because it's basically decompressing the data there and since compression most of the old
18:41
Legacy compression algorithms are really really fast now like they used to kill
18:44
the old CPUs but like the light compression the NTFS uses and stuff like
18:48
that i' I'd be really surprised if you saw a huge IO performance hit the
18:51
biggest problem with compression that I see is that depending on the type of data that you're compressing the
18:55
performance can vary so so you know if if you're do if you're heavily
18:59
compressing things like text and stuff like that the decompression and compression algorithm used to compress
19:04
that data it can the performance can change it's on it's on a little bit of a
19:07
curve so compressing 100 megabytes of one type of data versus compressing and
19:11
decompressing 100 megabytes of a different type of data depending on the data and how compressible it is that's
19:15
going to affect performance so you don't really get a linear performance it's
19:18
more of all over the place right this ties into what you were talking about
19:22
where you referenced that it's only the really important stuff that's compressed
19:25
it's the whole thing it's just Windows updates and stuff after that isn't put
19:29
in the wiim boot section right right and even though it's compressed it's it's
19:33
it's like it's still all in the whim file it's just part the files partially
19:37
compressed which I guess is kind of a New Concept because I've never heard of anything else being partially compressed
19:41
usually a file is compressed or it's not right so it's it's it's a little bit
19:45
weird to see the partial compression but the idea of being able to reclaim so
19:49
much of that space on a device where it comes at a premium you know where you
19:52
have you know solid state media on a tablet or a phone I mean that's a big deal right but then I mean
19:59
okay so something like a tablet then I wonder how much you're going to give up
20:03
in terms of processing in terms of uh in
20:06
terms of processing resources to battery
20:09
then so if you're that was very poorly phrased but the point is if you are if
20:14
you're using your CPU more as opposed to your storage more right are you going to
20:18
be giving up some battery life anytime you're doing something IO intensive then
20:22
you know that that's an interesting question because you're actually saving some battery life by not having to
20:27
access the med is frequently and you're kind of trading it off for the CPU but
20:32
the yeah CPU generally I think you would
20:35
take a little bit of a battery hit on it but it also depends there's other factors in there like caching right I'm
20:39
sure that if they're using compression on those fil they're also aggressively
20:42
caching things in and out of memory and if they're doing aggressive caching and
20:45
things like that especially on system level files they're not going to be loading them very often they're going to
20:49
be loading them once caching them and then pulling from memory so the decompression is going to be happening
20:53
every single time you access every one of these files I'm sure they're being very smart about which files
20:58
need to be loaded once and access thousands of times versus files that do
21:02
literally have to be loaded each and every time due to their D Dynamic nature
21:05
or something like that right but yeah as far as battery life I again I'm G to say
21:10
probably going to be negligible because compression algorithms aren't going to be that se they're not it's not going to
21:15
be super high compression and it's not going to be high compression and encryption which usually it's the
21:19
encryption side of compression that really really kills it so I I don't
21:23
think you're really going to see a huge impact but as far as no impact no it's
21:26
anytime anytime you're doing compression you're going to have some kind of an impact on the CPU's performance the
21:31
partial compression thing is weird throughout reading the entire article I I didn't actually see anything about
21:35
that I just saw that there was the recovery partition that stays compressed and then all updates and future stuff
21:40
after that goes in the completely uncompressed Windows partition so that's
21:43
I'm going to have to read more about that that's interesting yeah no I I like
21:47
and I like the idea of how they're masking it at the file system level too I mean to to the user the file system is
21:52
going to look exactly the same you're not you're not going to notice any difference the filter driver will take
21:56
care of it all magically behind the scenes um but as far as needing to update
22:01
things into the whim that's a little bit interesting because of course you're not just reading things out of the whim I'd
22:06
imagine the whim needs to be updated at some point also no they're saying that I
22:10
I read on the on Microsoft's actual documentation that updates go into the
22:14
Windows predition not into whim oh okay so so the whim stays the base image no
22:18
matter what yeah that's why I'm saying I didn't I didn't read anything about partial compression because they have
22:22
the compressed what used to be recovery
22:25
uh image which is now your whim image and then that never changes and any
22:29
updates or service packs or whatever the heck you get after that go in your
22:32
Windows partition uncompressed and the wiim partition never changes never gets
22:36
touched so you can still use it as recovery later on down the line no that that makes that makes a hell of a lot of
22:39
sense actually because that also prevents you from ever causing any fragmentation on the file so they can
22:44
literally optimize how those files are laid out in that whim to make them as
22:47
quickly as accessible as possible so which is kind of awesome and like you
22:50
can if you're trying to do it on like an Enterprise level or whatever you can
22:54
inject things into it on your own so you can inject updates and stuff into win
22:58
before you deploy it yeah but once it's deployed all updates and everything from
23:02
that point onward will then go into your uncompressed Windows predition no that's
23:07
actually that's really cool I'm sure this is also going to have like a high impact on VM deployments and stuff like
23:12
that I I like the idea of just having a whim and just basically just deploying
23:16
the whim as a VM and not having to deal with all the you know all all of the
23:19
crate creating partitions decompressing the whim onto the drive all that stuff
23:22
you don't have to do any of it it's your install times are nothing exactly right
23:25
right now it doesn't work for applications are VM it's just kind of
23:29
cons1 client only but but it'll it'll this is the beginning right so yeah it
23:34
always is right I mean it'll it'll happen it makes it makes sense it fits
23:37
the bill it almost feels like this is actually made like for
23:43
VMS yeah it's it's I mean it's really cool the the the coolest thing about it
23:48
isn't necessarily that they're just holding everything in the wiim but I just like the idea that the filter
23:51
driers is taking all of the guesswork out of it so the average user they're not going to know what's going on they
23:55
just reclaimed a whole bunch of space right right and I think honestly that's
23:59
the most important thing especially when you're dealing with the client side with the Enterprise side not so much but when
24:02
you're dealing with the client side and people that are buying tablets they just want their space they you know even if
24:07
they can reclaim four gigabytes to put another movie on it I mean that might be the difference between not buying and
24:11
buying that device so I I think that's really cool I mean I gota I can't help
24:16
but feel a little bit like this is something Microsoft shouldn't have even really had to do I mean you look at how
24:22
much um smartphone capacity has evolved
24:25
in the last four years I when the iPhone 4 came out it was available in 16 32 and
24:31
64 gig capacities yes what's what's the 5S available
24:38
in I think they have 128 gig don't they
24:41
they may have a 128 gig but really
24:44
you're going to try and convince me that flash densities haven't at least more
24:47
than doubled and with the way that pricing is structured it's really not
24:50
that much cheaper and they make you pay an awful lot more for a little bit more storage and I think that's why a lot of
24:55
people end up with 16 gig smartphones or
24:58
16 gigs still when really do they have to is it really that much of the bill of
25:03
materials or could you just or or I mean looking at what's happened to ssds over
25:07
the last four years in terms of pricing couldn't you just be delivering us 64
25:12
gigs minimum as a smartphone capacity with capacities up to you know 128 or
25:16
even 256 apparently is no I I I agree
25:20
that spa space is getting cheaper it's it's absolutely getting cheaper it's
25:23
getting smaller it's getting faster so does reclaiming you know a couple of
25:26
gigabytes really make a difference in the grand scheme of things not not at
25:29
the higher end of the spectrum not if you're talking like you know 64 128 256
25:33
gig devices all the way up to gez they got like terabyte ssds now right that
25:36
are affordable um but the thing is you have to think a little bit more globally
25:40
too when you're competing in a market where you want to create mobile devices that are 100 $200 you know and you
25:44
really want to hit that low low price point yep stuff like the Moto G exactly
25:49
you can buy 16 Gigabyte you know ssds for pennies you know on the dollar
25:54
they're almost irrelevant now because people just don't use them but if you can put those into device
25:58
and drive the price down to a point where you know somebody that couldn't otherwise afford a tablet or a mobile
26:02
device now can that's their price of Entry I mean I think I think that's
26:06
still a very very Noble thing yeah um to to go after but yeah at the high end I
26:10
mean is this is this going to be something that we're going to be using if we have like we know one terab hard
26:14
drives on our desktop computers no not really I mean I wouldn't I wouldn't take
26:17
the performance hit for it I would rather pay for it in space just because it's cheaper in this application but
26:22
when you're talking a smartphone or a small tablet or something like that then
26:25
yeah I think it's beneficial in the long run because one thing you're not going to be using those devices for super high
26:29
performance applications so the slight performance hit you take in you know in
26:33
decompressing the data I don't think it's going to be a really big deal to you because you're going to be using
26:36
stuff like office checking your email Facebook and watching movies things like
26:39
that you're not going to be like you know editing and rendering and doing 3D
26:43
stuff and you know hosting your web you know your web server on your tablet at
26:47
least I don't but so speaking of you would try speaking of office I finally
26:52
picked up an Office 365 subscription so
26:55
I'm I'm I'm part of I'm I'm part of the the fold now I'm just so sick
27:01
of everything not being not being like
27:04
synced and everywhere and all that kind of stuff and honestly I got to tell you
27:08
the setup process for Office 365 is terrible I mean oh really that whole
27:14
ridiculous thing where it's my name aty
27:18
domain. onmicrosoft.com until I go
27:22
through my domain registar to confirm that I own the domain and then I can
27:26
switch it and then all of the like the
27:29
way that the sort of synced everywhere file thing works except that sometimes
27:35
it's my like consumer Sky Drive and
27:38
sometimes it's like my other one and sometimes it's and the number of Clicks
27:43
in Office 2013 to save to the local
27:46
Drive is ridiculous you click save and instead of
27:50
just being a local browsing dialogue it's like where would you like to save
27:55
blah blah blah cloud cloud some other thing and then local and well local and
28:00
then it's like where local here's some recent places
28:04
no just let me browse the dialog simmer
28:08
down you need to simmer down Canadia all right take it down you're actually one
28:13
of the first people I've heard really complain about it a lot of people I've heard really love it and they they even
28:17
love like the experience on other platforms like iOS The Office 365 apps
28:21
on iOS are like amazing I haven't tried the iOS one yet but but why would you
28:29
my iPhone I haven't even seen it yet my new iPhone 5 that I actually see it's
28:33
like not even quite fired up yet is in my pocket I'm going to be doing an I
28:37
switched back I've been on Android for a year so I'm going to take a crack at it
28:42
and I'm going to uh see if Android can
28:45
can hold me and uh see see what I end up
28:48
going back to so I'm going to try and switch to it for about a month so we'll we'll see we'll see well I've used I I
28:53
mean I've used everything that's one thing a lot of people are like oh yeah you work for Microsoft your Microsoft
28:57
Fanboy it's like well no I have everything I have I have you know an iPhone 5S that I use on a daily basis I
29:02
have a Lumia 1520 I've got two you know Nexus 7 tablets the first and the second
29:07
generation it's because I like certain things that they all have to offer but the biggest ailles heal with Android
29:11
always with me is is not all the apps work on all the devices you get this
29:16
really weird experience where you go into the marketplace and it's like at the beginning of the description of
29:19
everything is it's like oh known problems on these 15 devices and you're like oh my God it's like I like a
29:24
platform where it's like I'm pretty much guaranteed to be able to download and use everything I don't to go oh damn it
29:29
I bought that Samsung you know whatever S5 or whatever and now I can't run these
29:33
five apps because my screen resolution is too high in the developer didn't fix it you know that's the part that annoys
29:38
me is it's almost like the thing that makes Android really good also makes it
29:41
really bad yeah yeah like I I've had so much I love Light Flow I love the idea
29:46
of it when I did my Nexus 5 review it was amazing just like I I can't get it
29:51
working flawlessly on anything else and it drives me crazy because it's like a
29:55
really fantastic Light Flow Light Flow
29:59
yeah no there's some really cool there's some really cool apps on Android that I
30:02
found but I just I remember back and it's gotten a lot better now but I
30:05
remember back when I bought uh gosh which was it like Motorola made a made a
30:09
little Android tablet was it Motorola God I can't even remember it was so long
30:12
ago I bought it Best Buy it was like brand new tablet high resolution I
30:15
brought it home and seriously I downloaded like 30 apps and of the 30
30:18
like two of them worked right on it yeah because all of them were like designed for phones all of them were designed for
30:22
different resolutions some of them just didn't work well with the new capacitive
30:25
touch that they were using crashed left and right and I couldn't triage or debug
30:30
any of it mainly it's better now yeah it's a it's a lot better now I
30:33
definitely a lot better now like I use a
30:36
my G2 when I did um and I would blindly
30:40
download applications without checking if it worked or not never had a single
30:43
problem um never had a problem with my Nexus S never had a problem with my S3
30:48
and I'm not having a problem with the Tegra Note right now Luke never never
30:53
like really never I've never had a problem with application compatibility
30:57
okay but then hold on a second cuz he came from a Nexus device to an S3 I I
31:03
named my devices yeah I did use fairly mainstream devices that's very true so
31:07
the I didn't use like the uh Motorola tablet or anything like that I was using
31:11
an Nexus device and I was using a Samsung device then I was using a flagship LG device so it's it's like
31:16
yeah so you weren't using like the $16 like what is it like
31:22
knw so yeah cuz I've had all kinds of
31:25
problems with like offbrand Android where like nothing works on them we we
31:29
were just talking about you know lowend storage on the mobile devices and it
31:32
just reminded me that I've seen some of these uh some of these Chinese
31:36
electronic sites online that are selling Android devices like actual functioning
31:40
phones running Android on them for like 2530 yeah and they've got like eight
31:45
gigs of storage you know like four or eight gigs of storage in them and so it
31:49
it still goes back to I guess there is a market for that obviously somewhere in
31:52
the world there's a market for these incredibly incredibly cheap
31:56
devices yeah that's actually uh it's not on our list of topics for today but um
32:01
when when the whole Project Ara thing was coming around and you know the
32:06
enthusiasts were getting really excited about it and I guess what well really it
32:10
was more when it was called phone blocks when it was still that campaign um one
32:14
of the conversations that we had on the show was like look enthusiasts calm calm
32:19
your boobies because this isn't for you and now that some pricing rumors are
32:23
starting to surface and Project Ara is
32:26
rumored to be what like in the 2535 range for an entry LEL device I
32:32
think that that's a very good point is that there is definitely a market for
32:36
this I thought it was 50 bucks 50 bucks okay I could be wrong but it's like it's
32:39
still really cheap yeah like it's going to be a very very entry-level device and
32:43
there's definitely still a market for this and I think that in the next sort
32:47
of few years this whole like high-end
32:51
phone thing is going to mostly go away
32:54
just like you can't buy a highend cordless home phone anymore like have
32:59
you noticed that yeah no I have I have I I shop at Costco like religiously and
33:03
for years I'd go to Costco and there'd be at least five or six different really
33:07
really high-end like unit in phones like you know I've got my my VTEC over here
33:11
you know this was considered high-end back in the day right yeah and uh so you
33:15
know now I go to Costco it's like I can't remember the last time I walked into any Costco and actually seen a home
33:19
phone for sale like they don't even have them anymore and like for for a while
33:24
there there was a period of like at least a few years where they still had
33:28
them everywhere but the way that they were justifying the high price was
33:32
they're just giving you more and more handsets to the point where you'd have
33:35
one that would come with you know four or five handsets in it and that was they
33:40
put ridiculous features on them too like I mean features like well they sound
33:44
cool but they don't really work in practice like for instance I have a
33:47
feature on my phone over here and it's one of the reasons why I bought it and guess what I never used the feature hey
33:51
good marketing huh um it's got It's got this Bluetooth thing where you can
33:54
basically hook your Bluetooth conect connect to your cell phone any cell
33:58
phone's Bluetooth you can connect it to the base station of this and if your
34:01
home phone rings your cell phone like
34:04
rings and you answer it through the Bluetooth and you can talk on your home phone through your cell phone right so
34:08
it basically turns your cell phone into a handset the problem is it only works
34:12
when you're like 15 feet away from the base station it cuts out constantly so
34:15
it's like it's like they didn't even test it it was one of those illusionary benefits where it's like I bet you some
34:18
nerd's going to buy this if we put it on the box and they were right I did but
34:23
the cool thing about Costco is in 20 years I can take this handset back and
34:26
be like yeah uh it doesn't work give me all my money
34:30
back that's Costco for you oh my god Costco's kind of
34:35
amazing the stuff I've taken back over periods of time has completely blown my
34:39
mind I mean honest my favorite return story at Costco uh well actually I've
34:43
got it two one was my mom returning a toaster oven that was literally over 10
34:48
years old and stopped working they gave her they gave her a brand new
34:52
top-of-the-line one and then my personal favorite was one where I actually didn't
34:57
even walk in with the intention of returning the thing so I I walked in
35:01
with a pressure washer okay and pressure washers are one of those items that
35:05
people um customer service people are real used to people renting you know yes
35:11
yes kind of like snow blowers and air conditioners seasonal right you take
35:15
them out a couple times a year maybe yeah seasonal items so I I first of all
35:19
I figured okay this category getting anything done is going to be a problem
35:23
so the only reason I went in was because it was some weird brand carer or
35:29
something I couldn't even figure out how to pronounce it it had like an apostrophe in it I'm like okay whatever
35:33
was this that elect was this one of those electric ones no it was a gas powered one oh it was a gas powered one
35:37
okay yeah yeah yeah it was gas powered one and I'd used it very heavily the
35:40
previous summer when I was painting houses and um what happened and it was
35:45
the most bizarre thing like I I even though it legitimately happened I
35:49
figured you walk into any store and tell them this they're not even going to
35:52
believe you anyway so I all I wanted was
35:56
I wanted a new wand for it because I was
35:59
using it and literally in the middle of
36:03
using it it snapped in half the
36:06
metal the metal snapped in half the the
36:10
the brass fitting just like the threads
36:14
snapped right off of it and it just you know obviously what happens with a
36:18
pressure washer when you don't have a nozzle on it is it just drips right like
36:22
it it's just normal normal water now be honest was was he hitting you with it
36:26
yes I'm so sorry so I walk in and I'm just
36:29
like um I don't know how to contact this manufacturer I need a new wand for this
36:33
thing can you help me and they're like
36:38
no but we'll take that and give you a full
36:42
credit and they won't even tell you what they won't even ask you nine out of
36:45
tenen times they don't ask you what's wrong with it nope it's pretty crazy
36:49
like my two best stories ever was a baby monitor I took a baby it legitimately
36:53
broke the baby monitor we had it for about a year and the camera one of the
36:56
cameras broke so we took the whole thing back and they're like they they're like
37:00
oh do you have the re they asked me for the receipt cuz they couldn't figure out which purchase it was in the system
37:04
because it was a really obscure item and so they opened up the back they got the serial number anyways they found it in
37:08
the computer system they're like okay we found it they're like would you like cash or or store credit and I'm like
37:13
cash and then they look in the bag and they're like oh do you have the power adapter for the other camera and I was
37:17
like oh crap I left the power adapter at home I was like oh here I'll run home and get it they're like yeah don't worry
37:20
about it and they so they gave me my money back so I still have the AC
37:24
adapter for this thing sitting in the house somewhere and the second one was a friend of mine bought a treadmill had it
37:28
for 3 years a tread a treadmill exercise
37:31
equipment right who the hell returns that successfully and so the treadmill
37:35
it was uh started squeaking or something the it wasn't even broken the belt was just squeaking or something so he loaded
37:39
in his truck and took it back there and sure enough they just they just asked him uh you know cash credit here you go
37:44
and the guy went out in the parking lot and put it on a flat bin took it inside and we're like dude you just returned a
37:48
three-year-old used treadmill and it was like and he got and he got like $1,200
37:51
back for it it's like you bought the treadmill today on Craigslist it'd be like 50 bucks it just it blows my mind I
37:57
don't know how that business model works and how they can actually like sustain that but hey I can tell you how it works
38:01
if you'd like please do please do and does it involve unicorns and Steve jobs'
38:06
soul I just I need to know it involves them being um obstinate and impossible
38:12
to deal with on the other side so you know how there's always there's always
38:16
two sides of anything right like companies will have their customer
38:21
facing side where they're the nicest folks ever and then the way that they
38:25
get away with being the nicest people ever to customers is by being complete
38:30
ass hats to the other people that they deal with and forcing their customer
38:36
Centric policies on the folks that deal with them so the way that someone like
38:39
Costco works is at the end of the year
38:42
like first of all they're paying for things like net 180 net 365 like not
38:50
paying for things for six months to a year after the product lands in the
38:54
warehouse then anything that gets returned there's no negotiation process
38:58
and this is all this is all my understanding from someone telling me this so I'd be happy for someone to
39:03
correct me if I'm wrong but basically what happens is anything that gets
39:06
returned they put it on pallets they
39:10
pack it up and they say we're not paying for these ones oh my God so basically
39:14
what you're saying is when I go to Costco and they're like sir would you like cash or credit what they're really
39:19
doing on the other end of Samsung as they're like yeah you're getting 6,000 TVs back yeah yes pretty much oh
39:25
that's most genius model ever yep it's it's like inverse Walmart and the thing
39:29
is there's no way they're not going to want to sell their stuff to Costco yeah
39:33
because Costco moves so much product that even though Samsung's taking that
39:36
6,000 TVs back or whatever they're they're still making awesome money so
39:41
Samsung's just like uh okay and then you get a huge you have no choice and the
39:46
other thing I don't really get with Costco too is they got the membership deal right so they're making some money
39:49
off that you buy a membership what is it like $30 $40 a year or whatever but then they have that executive membership that
39:54
they cram down your throat and they try to get you to get it's like 20 it's only
39:57
like was it like $50 more like $100 a year something like that but then they
40:01
give you back like 5% of your purchases so every year I get a check from them
40:04
for like thousands of dollars and I'm like how is this making you guys any
40:08
money well it's it's all a volume game with them I mean okay here's something
40:12
crazy I don't know if you know this my wife works at Costco um she's a pharmacy
40:16
manager there so basically Costco aside
40:20
from all of these sort of the the the way that they treat customers the way
40:25
they treat employees is really good and the way that they treat their internal
40:29
policies is actually really amazing
40:32
sometimes so my brother-in-law works there too and he loves it he's he's like a career guy he's been there for like 10
40:36
years there you go they actually have a policy that they will not Mark something
40:42
up more than x% within a given category
40:46
oh wow so like the way that it worked when I was in product management because
40:50
NC is a fairly sensible company is that
40:54
if we got a crazy you know end run deal
40:57
on coolit eco water cooling units or something like that this was actually my
41:01
buy I bought like 5,000 of them or 6,000 of them in one shot and we got them for
41:08
like $28 or something insane like that
41:11
so Costco would take that deal and they
41:14
would Blitz them at$ 32.99 because that's their policy if they get a crazy
41:19
deal they can't just milk it you it put
41:23
default margin on it and call it good yeah okay whereas I was able to take
41:28
that deal and turn it into thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars of
41:32
profit and then Blitz it once in a while
41:35
and and kind of kind of milk it that way but Costco's policy is that you can't do
41:39
that that's why they don't sell Apple because they refuse to adhere to Apple's
41:45
map gotcha because if they were selling Apple it be like here get an iPhone 68
41:49
bucks yeah and nobody would ever go to the Apple Store ever again and Costco
41:54
will not sell well or they won't buy it for less than what other people are
41:58
paying cuz they're Costco and then they won't sell it for more than their policy
42:02
dictates that they will sell it so it's almost it's almost funny because in a
42:05
way it's like Costco's kind of a monopoly I mean they really are because
42:09
companies if if a company wants to move volume they kind of have to deal with
42:12
them and if they want to if they have to deal with them they have to kind of put up with their crap yep but but at the
42:17
end of the day they're making money Costco's making money so I guess everybody's happy but it's just funny
42:22
because I see so many I see I see the government going after so many companies for you know throwing around the whole
42:25
monop world word or anything like that but it's I guess what do Costco got
42:29
competition like what Sam's Club isn't Sam's Club like owned by the same parent
42:33
Corporation I'm not sure we don't have Sam's Club here so no idea what Sam's
42:38
Club is I've been there it's very similar the same damn identical you
42:42
never you'd never know you walk into the Sam's Club it's like somebody blindfold
42:45
you'd like you'd look around and be like I'm in Costco it's like I think it's
42:48
like blue themed instead of red themed for like yeah it's like that's pretty
42:52
much it and I think about the only real difference is I think Sam's Club sells
42:55
some things and small quantities like not a lot but some things whereas Costco
42:59
everything's like super mega bulk that's why I like to shop at Costco because you
43:02
know they sell Cereal by the gallon it's nice ah Sam's Club is actually a
43:06
division of Walmart Oh is it really oh
43:09
okay so so Wally world's trying to get their their piece of the pie I see how
43:12
there you go all right we should probably do an actual Tech Topic at some
43:17
oh yeah yeah sorry guys I'm a little random that ADHD tends to kick in every
43:20
once in a while all right here we go so
43:23
Sony sorry uh you're you're you're you're You're gone hold on I I'll I can
43:28
bring you back actually son son what is
43:31
even wrong with me today Sony isn't totally bleeding for money what they're
43:36
totally not what are you talking about talking about
43:40
what I'm trolling you oh you're
43:43
confusing me okay so uh this was posted on the Forum by Good Bites as we know
43:48
Sony has been doing some massive you know slashing and burning selling
43:53
everything that they can to stay afloat I think not that far away from them
43:57
selling like office furniture at this point well cuz the reason why I was just
44:02
trolling you that way was their claim is it's it's their ongoing effort to
44:06
streamline their portfolio and operations okay so they it was messy
44:10
they are selling their entire stake in Square Enix the studio behind the final
44:16
fantasy series reports The Verge so Sony
44:19
has 8.2% share in the company making it the
44:22
largest shareholder and they expected to make about 4 .8 billion yen from the
44:28
transaction um which like 48 bucks us
44:31
right yeah so between them having that's
44:38
rude so between them having um you know
44:42
between them selling off buildings to keep things going and between them you
44:47
know but no no no no this is just a streamline their operations you have no
44:52
idea what you're talking about okay getting rid of the buildings I'll kind
44:55
of I I'll say no BS getting rid of this the
45:00
boat anchor that is Square Enix at this point I I don't understand who would
45:04
even buy 88.2% of I don't think I don't
45:08
think if you offered it to me for like if you're like okay look lonus you know
45:12
like let's say your entire like net worth so like you know a couple hundred,
45:17
right you can buy 8.2% of Square
45:21
Enix I'd be like I don't know man let
45:26
let me look into this first I'd probably do it in the sad immediately yeah but to
45:30
who hopefully someone not to me
45:33
nope hopefully um SMBC Nico Securities I
45:39
I don't get how how's Sony hurting for money they makes such quality products
45:42
that almost never catch fire I don't you
45:46
know the thing that frustrates me about Sony is it's like so many things where
45:51
it's their own hubris that ultimately just makes them impossible to
45:57
want to deal with as a customer the only Sony thing that I've bought in the LA
46:02
since I since my disman from high school
46:05
yeah since then is a professional grade
46:08
camera so my Sony fs700 camera I bought
46:12
because it was actually Innovative it was a compelling value and the features
46:17
and quality of it were difficult to touch at the time um but I mean again
46:21
the problem here is that in that particular category Sony is going up
46:25
against the kings of hubris companies like Canon yeah so so like Sony's
46:32
proprietary nonsense that they do is
46:35
totally acceptable in that market so I so I didn't really have any better
46:39
choice but basically will I buy another
46:43
piece of Sony gear after that experience is the camera excellent yes has it
46:47
served us very well yes did they issue a firmware update that they charged me
46:52
$600 for yes ouch
46:56
so they sold this camera with 4K
46:59
capability as a big selling point it has a 4K sensor in it and then no ETA on the
47:06
actual firmware that would enable this nothing no ETA or Price estimate on the
47:12
recorder that was going to enable it by the way Sony's proprietary recorder that
47:16
uses their proprietary recording module
47:20
that uses their proprietary media is like $88,000 so it's about the same
47:25
price as the camera I could literally buy a red rig for the cost of that and
47:29
shoot with an fs700 like Sony are you high so so there so their proprietary
47:34
solution costs double of what the one aftermarket solution that they've
47:38
licensed the ability to record off this camera in raw mode costs so they they
47:44
went and made their own solution make no sense because it's priced out to
47:47
complete freaking lunch they want all these proprietary things they want you
47:51
to pay for a firmware upgrade and I'm sitting here going Sony you haven't
47:54
learned a damn thing have you yeah the
47:59
yeah the whole paying for firmware C I mean that I'm going to call BS right out
48:02
of the gate on that because the whole fact is the firmware drives the hardware
48:05
right I mean to support the software don't be giving me extra features or
48:09
fixing stuff that's supposed to already be fixed then charging me for it that
48:13
that drives me absolutely nuts uh Sony's not the only one to do that either uh
48:17
but I do like how Canon Canon's really forthcoming with their firmwares and I
48:20
also like the fact that there's a lot of Open Source development for Canon too that's why I like to use the Canon
48:24
platform what buttheads they're being to the open source crew right I haven't
48:29
heard no are they are they being pretty pretty hard-headed about it yeah no
48:33
there's uh I forget what camera it is I think the the issue is that it's capable
48:37
of recording 4K but Canon has basically
48:40
said anyone who makes a firmware for this that records in
48:44
4k oh that's not that that's probably the Magic Lantern project for the 5D
48:48
Mark iiii because I heard I think the Mark II sensor supports 4K but it only
48:53
can record it for like even even even with the hacked firw can only record for
48:56
like a maximum of like 10 seconds before the buffer memory runs out but I guess
49:00
they just don't want people like overheating the sensors in them but oh well I'm still G to run
49:05
Magic Lantern hey Canon if you're listening I'm running Magic Lantern on my
49:09
camera what are you gonna do about it probably not honor my warranty now damn
49:13
it no just kidding I think that's why people like black magic I don't even
49:17
know why we're talking about cameras um I think that's why people like black
49:21
magic and uh what are the guys the guys
49:24
that make Sigma taking camera Market by storm right now
49:28
yeah y guys like Sigma where it's like to me that's the biggest problem with a
49:32
lot of different categories right now is that companies get into this rut where
49:37
they release what the market will bear and price it at what the market will
49:40
bear rather than actually trying to innovate we talked about black Magic's
49:43
new camera so it's $6,000 camera with like replaceable sensor 10in screen on
49:49
the side two more 5 in screens Elsewhere on the camera like freaking amazing
49:54
piece of kit Grand shoots 4K out of the
49:57
box and it's just like a big old you know Screw you guys to everyone else
50:03
because we're building what we can for the budget as opposed to what we think
50:08
people should be willing to pay and
50:11
black Magic's not perfect a lot of their stuff is just fundamentally broken like
50:14
people complain about the difference in audio quality on fastest Possible
50:19
episodes that we shoot with our black magic cinema camera even though we spent
50:22
an additional $400 on a preamp for the stupid thing because the internal audio
50:26
recording Hardware is so broken like it's not perfect but at least they're
50:30
trying yeah well I've seen their their Optics are amazing though I mean I I saw
50:35
uh what is it their little six or $700 handheld video camera it looks kind of
50:38
like a flip video um oh I don't know are
50:41
you talking about the pocket yeah the black magic pocket it's like it's fairly
50:45
inexpensive but it shoots 1080p I was watching uh back when I was thinking
50:48
about buying a video camera I was looking at the video quality on that
50:51
thing and I was genuinely shocked like I didn't see anything else that even came
50:54
close to that for Factor money aside
50:58
they seem like they own that market for the quality and that size and I was like
51:01
why are these not flying off shelves and I went and read a bunch of reviews and just like you were saying people were
51:04
saying there's problems with them hanging and locking up and battery life issues battery poopy it seemed like they
51:10
got it per like the the the the quality of what it could produce was absolutely
51:14
amazing but the technical stuff you had to deal with to get there was painful
51:17
and that's that's ultimately what killed it it's like it's the it's the hacker
51:21
product it's for the folks that are willing to to dink around with it like
51:24
our guy uh Brandon loves his pocket and
51:28
he has a his is 2 and a2k right no ours are the two we have we have a 2 and a2k
51:33
okay we sorry we so we have two black magic cinema cameras that's the 2 and
51:37
a2k one the slightly bigger one and then Ed has one and then Brandon has a pocket
51:42
yeah but I thought his pocket is 2 and a2k no that one's
51:45
1080p but it's really nice 1080p it shoots pror I heard I heard him saying
51:50
all weekend it's a pocket 2 and a2k dude if think could sh 2 and a2k on a pocket
51:54
that is yeah no it's it's not if he was shooting on his pocket it's definitely
51:58
1080p um all right let's move into our next topic I think we usually do half an
52:04
hour guest segments but this has been kind of a different show from usual it's
52:07
pretty casual I think we've managed to do like two topics so far so you can
52:10
hang around with us but you're not obligated to just uh throwing that out
52:14
there dude I don't I don't feel any obligation I like hanging out we've got
52:18
like we've got like over 5,000 viewers right now that's actually really strong
52:24
because my streams usually get about over 15,000 I'm so joking dude I get
52:29
like 50 or
52:32
100 um okay this is pretty cool so Intel
52:37
is allegedly losing billions on tablet and smartphone categories so this was
52:43
posted on the Forum by Good Bites Intel makes smartphones what well they do have
52:48
smartphone processor smart guy um in
52:52
recent months Intel has been under pressure so this is from The Verge to
52:56
explain why personal computers haven't been selling quite as well LOL and but
53:02
the chipmaker may have another pressing concern losing billions of dollars on
53:05
mobile in 2013 Intel's mobile chip division lost a staggering
53:10
3.15 billion after posting an operating
53:13
loss of 1.78 billion in 2012 and in the
53:17
first quarter of 2014 alone the mobile and Communications Group saw a 9.29
53:22
million operating loss on a meager 56
53:26
million in Revenue according to new Financial results issued today by the
53:30
company so what I have to say to this is
53:35
investors need to like cool it and
53:38
understand that this is a long-term play for Intel Intel has been making so much
53:43
ground up over the last two years or so
53:47
compared to ARM Solutions in terms of their power efficiency and performance
53:51
within those power envelopes that we need in order for them to really be
53:55
competitor in tablet and in smartphone
53:58
they're still ahead of everyone else on manufacturing process nodes and all that
54:03
stuff they're still the technology leader give them a little bit longer and
54:07
they're going to they're going to dominate but I'm open to other opinions
54:11
on this no I I tend I tend to actually agree with you on this I think I and and
54:16
I'll probably take some backlash from this but you know I say anything but I I think arms getting played out I just the
54:21
the the the performance versus power consumption thing just isn't doesn't do
54:24
it for me i' I've still yet to see a single ARM Solution that's really like pushing the
54:28
power that I've seen Intel capable on a similar size platform now granted
54:32
consuming a hell of a lot more power and therefore killing your battery life but
54:36
it's one of those things where it's like yeah I'd rather I'd rather have a lot of power for three hours than no power at
54:40
all for 10 I mean that's just me generally I'm more of a power user but
54:45
Intel and the other thing too is yeah they might be losing money you know hand
54:48
over fist according to this article in the mobile space but you know how are
54:51
they doing in the desktop and server space because I mean I they're still
54:54
they're I mean they're heavy dominators in both of those faes and will continue
54:57
to be and that could be allocated acceptable loss they might have known
55:01
that that was going to happen and they were like oh this is going to cost this much to get done okay whatever let's do
55:05
it I mean big companies like this can lose 5 10 billion dollars in a lawsuit I
55:09
mean it's like so I don't when when I see numbers like that I'm like okay what's their what's their total
55:13
projected Revenue I mean if they made $20 billion that year and they're down
55:16
three billion because of the mobile Division I mean you know boohoo I mean
55:19
it's it's fine it's just one of those things where it's an acceptable loss while you're pushing into that space
55:24
yeah and the other thing is Intel I I remember reading a article a couple
55:29
years back where they were talking about you know they're starting to hit the cap of of the frequency that the chips can
55:33
operate at so now they're trying to go for more cores right they're trying to go out and kind of get that that breadth
55:36
over depth and uh so you know it's not I
55:40
think Intel here in the next couple years we're going to start seeing like you know 16 core 32 core CPUs these are
55:45
going to be like commonplace and it's been sorry go ahead no no no go ahead
55:50
it's been frustrating for the enthusiasts I think where you know we
55:53
would have loved to have Intel delivering us eight 12 Core Extreme
55:57
editions you know last year and they could have yes they could but Intel's
56:02
very patient I mean you look at AMD's 8 core solution that they that they did
56:07
deliver to the enthusiasts and did that product really make any sense you could
56:13
find benchmarks where an fx8350 had an
56:16
advantage due to its higher core count you could find those benchmarks but the
56:20
thing ran so hot and consumed so much power and had such a big Dy compared to
56:26
Intel's low power small D more Nimble
56:31
competitors that you you look at it and you go well was Intel smarter to just
56:35
not bother were they smarter to just be patient like this whole ARM thing that's
56:40
going on are they just are they just holding their cards to their chest going
56:44
you know what we're going to be ready with x86 eventually so it's going to
56:49
take until you know like Intel's they're the kind of company there's going to be
56:53
a one-year plan A 5year a 10 plan just
56:56
going to kind of go okay 2020 like we're
57:00
going to be ready we're going to crush it so we're just going to keep keep
57:04
staying ahead in terms of manufacturing we're going to keep being the technology
57:08
leader and this whole thing is going to happen and then we're going to we're
57:12
just going to come in and dominate because the thing about smartphone
57:15
processors and tablet processors is
57:18
those manufacturers are so eager to save a
57:23
dollar to win a Ben Mark and and find
57:26
the balance between those two things that I don't think there's any loyalty
57:29
to qualcom I don't think there's any loyalty to ARM you look at Samsung they
57:34
don't even use their own exos processor in tons of their products they use
57:38
whatever is the most competitive solution today to put into that phone to
57:44
deliver the best performance possible so taking over the smartphone market is as
57:49
simple as having the product that's
57:52
better at this exact now point in time I mean you look at how NVIDIA how much
57:57
momentum NVIDIA had with Tegra 2 and
58:01
then how that has translated into absolutely nothing for Tegra
58:05
4 yeah and and the other thing is you're not a smart move for a company is just
58:11
like you were saying with The Five-Year Plan and the 10-year plan is just because you have something better on
58:15
Deck doesn't mean that's the time to release it because you can still profit
58:18
from all of the generations leading up to it that's right I mean yeah you're
58:21
not you're not going to just go to the market and be like oh wow we created a 32 processor it's sound it works great
58:27
you can charge $2,000 for it it's cost effective here let's take it to Market
58:30
because then the problem is soon as you do that all of your competition is going
58:33
to start well they're either going to have their own product already on Deck ready to go and they're going to have to
58:36
counter and then both everybody loses right except for the consumer the
58:40
consumer is like woohoo we're hauling ass but at the same time the company's
58:43
lost all that money and revenue leading up to that and that's why I think you
58:47
see these inch Wars you know you see one one CPU manufacturer comes out with
58:51
something the next one comes out with something that's comparable plus one like literally plus one it's just a
58:55
little bit better then the next Generation comes out it's a little bit better it's a little bit better I find
59:00
that really hard to believe that that everything is just in these little
59:03
microns and inches you know I have to believe that those companies have a lot of tech that's on deck that they're just
59:07
holding back because it's not profitable to release it at this time you know what
59:12
I think there's some of that but I also
59:16
believe that because of the way the
59:20
technology advances that sometimes two
59:24
compan with completely different road maps and completely different technology
59:28
can actually just be neck and neck constantly like I don't believe for a
59:32
second that if AMD had a graphics card
59:35
that costs half as much and performed twice as fast as NVIDIA that they
59:40
wouldn't release it I believe they would I think they just can't those guys hate
59:45
I know I know don't I can't go into details but trust me I know this but uh
59:51
but uh the thing with G with the GPU guys I tend to agree with you they're
59:55
they're both they're both ramming their head against the wall neck and neck and the thing is they're not they're they're
59:59
drastically different a lot of people don't realize that that uh you know the
60:02
way Crossfire Works versus uh you know NVIDIA SLI is completely different the
60:07
way the AMD leans heavily on having more cores versus NVIDIA having less cores
60:11
and faster cores the Technologies are so radically different yet the end result
60:15
is so close every time every time so so
60:19
I tend to agree with you that I think it's more along the lines of when one
60:22
company gets a little bit faster the other company goes how do we tweak it to
60:25
make it better or just put a giant ass heat sink water cooler five you know
60:29
it's like what do we have to do to get it to its absolute bleeding edge and a
60:33
good example of this too would be back in the old CPU Wars like where you remember the old seller on 300a right y
60:39
the the old you know I called it the Nintendo cartridge because you literally plugged it in like one and uh I remember
60:44
those things you'd go buy these 300 A's and they would overclock 150 mehz out of
60:49
the box on air you could go from 300 to 450 mehz and if you had a chosen awesome
60:54
Malaysian one a sweet one you could get over 500 megahertz on those things I
60:58
mean that is a giant percentage jump in
61:01
performance out of CPU and I mean that kind of that's when the overclocking really took off from that point then
61:06
mother motherboard manufacturers like all right cat's out of the bag Intel's
61:09
obviously producing stuff that could be pushed a hell of a lot harder and now
61:13
the chip manufacturers expect you to do it right I mean inel sells you a CPU and
61:16
they're like oh here here's a 3.4 gigz CPU with turbo boost yeah and and if you
61:21
go in the BIOS it'll go 10 times faster I mean it's it it's 10 times faster you
61:27
10 times faster I gotta buy an ASUS board because it has a BIOS where you
61:30
select an option that says make it go faster and I'm not joking that's
61:33
literally what ASUS bioses are like now you go in there and it's like you know
61:37
used to be overclocking was like yeah I'm going to tweak my CPU get the voltage up there mess with the VC core
61:41
and the pl the was it the PLU voltage and everything no now you go in there
61:44
and it's like uh let's see faster fastest extreme
61:48
enter well you know an ASUS's ASUS's
61:52
self overclocking utility is actually
61:55
really good I mean gigabytes and MSI implementations with OC Genie and then
62:00
whatever Gigabyte calls their thing not very good they're just they're just kind
62:04
of taking a an approximate profile based on the you know thousand or couple
62:09
thousand chips that they get to validate their boards and they're kind of doing a
62:13
cross-section of okay well 90% of them are going to hit this setting so that's
62:18
the profile we're going to apply ASUS's actually goes and stress tests the CPU
62:24
and keeps increasing things and dials in an overclock to the point where the last
62:29
time I played with it which was I think
62:33
Ivy Bridge not Haswell it was within
62:37
like 100 mahz of what I could do on my own no no no exactly and and I think
62:42
mine was even a tighter tolerance than that when I first got this CPU I have a 30 uh was it I think I got a 393k in
62:48
this one running 4.5 a little over 4.5 right and uh and yeah I used that
62:52
utility I think to get like to 4. 3 4.4
62:56
and then the only reason the utility wouldn't take it any further is because
62:59
it wouldn't go beyond a certain threshold on the voltage well I'm liquid cooled so I was like screw you guys I'm
63:02
gonna just do it right uh but it's a great idea because that's exactly what
63:07
you should be doing and and this I'm I do a lot of automation work a lot of
63:11
what I do at my daily job is is actually developing automation um to run test
63:15
scenarios and things like that and it makes sense that when you write automation that you mimic what an actual
63:20
human being would do you try to make the same rational decisions and everything
63:23
and that's that's kind of the program's doing and I like that it takes that that
63:26
outlook on it it's like we're going to bump it up a little bit try it if it doesn't work we're going to back it off
63:30
or go a different direction if it doesn't work back it off going a different direction I like the fact that
63:34
the motherboard manufacturer was like all right well let's design the software
63:37
to work in tandem with the firmware BIOS or EFI or whatever you know depending on
63:41
your situation let's let's make it work in tandem with that so that the machine
63:44
can basically just sit there and power cycle itself and continuously adapt
63:47
itself and tell it stable calling ASUS
63:50
is uh calling ASUS is software something that you know works is sort of yeah well
63:56
honestly I I've I've played with ASUS software Gigabyte software I've even
64:00
played with some of the um for the GPU stuff uh what was it the ATI
64:03
overclocking utility God I can't remember what the name of it is uh really old one overdrive yeah and and
64:09
it's like this Ancient Ancient utility and it cracks me up because it like works on AMD processors and it works on
64:13
NVIDIA processors and you can tweak all these weird settings and everything I I
64:17
love it when you pick up a piece of software that looks like it was wholeheartedly designed for one thing
64:21
and it just works for everything else everything else yeah like like digital
64:24
Western Digital creates what is that the Western Digital uh data uh Drive utility
64:28
God my brain is not working today anyway well Cate has C tools and I know that
64:31
works on anything they all work on everything it cracks me up it's like the
64:34
other day I was my my boss was trying to get me to recover some data off of his
64:38
uh broken Samsung drive and I just happened to have the Western Digital
64:41
utility installed so I opened up Western Digital like yeah here I'll check out the drive yeah here I'll recover your
64:45
data I was like all right well all right Western Digital
64:49
that's uh that's pretty cool you know and it's like when you see stuff like the AMD tools working with NVIDIA you're
64:54
like how is this even possible I mean other than them sharing like a basic
64:57
software technology like direct deex or openg GL they're completely different
65:01
yeah it's just it's very strange so I
65:04
just realized it's like almost six o'clock already I know that you're not
65:08
going to be sticking around much longer so we should definitely do our sponsor
65:12
spots here so number one is
65:15
squarespace.com guys Squarespace is the easy way to set up your own beautiful
65:20
website they actually had something that they wanted me to talk about this week
65:24
this was what's that all I was going to say get it cuz it's a square cuz Barnes
65:28
CLE was making a square but then he's not onen yeah he's not on screen they
65:32
can't see so then I was like get it and then I was like no no one gets it I'm
65:36
sad now none of none of the jokes were
65:40
gotten none at this point in time fail
65:43
so Squarespace did ask me to mention that they are have been nominated for
65:48
four web's so the link here is uh sqs
65:53
P.M e Q5 brwa and they asked me to reach out to
65:58
my audience be like yo guys can you vote for them because the webbi are sort of a
66:03
big deal so I went ahead I posted that link in the twitch chat please do by the
66:07
way guys Jerry's not gone Jerry's still here he's just replaced by Squarespace
66:12
because Squarespace makes such beautiful websites and Jerry just can't compete
66:18
with a beautiful website like lus Medi group.com which Jerry was in a
66:22
Squarespace and now Squarespace is in a rectangular space I'm so confused right
66:26
now yeah this is like space deception why is he back again let's get rid of
66:31
this guy there we go so Squarespace is good because they they've been hassling
66:34
me to create a web page so should should I take them up on it like you know what
66:39
good stuff aside from them being a sponsor of our show aside from that we
66:43
used them far before they were a sponsor we used them before they were a sponsor
66:47
because it's really inexpensive and it's really easy and you know what this is
66:51
okay aside from the Webby thing that they did ask me to mention um have you
66:55
noticed that every Kickstarter has a Squarespace site I have noticed that
67:00
actually no I haven't That's funny though go on kickstarter.com
67:05
find a Kickstarter go to their website
67:09
be like cuz Squarespace they've only got like I think it's less than 30 templates
67:13
so they have templates that are optimized for having a so you can right
67:17
so you can tell so they have templates that are optimized for like um an
67:21
e-commerce thing they have blog optimized ones portfol optimized ones or
67:25
whatever else and I swear they should just have a template called Kickstarter
67:29
because they all used it you know what the sad thing is I'm actually I actually
67:33
am a web developer I mean I'm very very versed in mvc4 and asp.net technology
67:37
SQL I'm I'm very comfortable with all that stuff but the problem is building a
67:40
web page from the ground up using those Technologies is like pulling teeth yes
67:45
if it's my job and they're paying me for it and I got six months to do it hey rock on but I don't have that time to
67:49
make my own personal site that way I literally just want to be lazy it's like
67:53
I'm like the mechanic that takes his car to Jiffy Lube you know it's like I just
67:57
I just want to get a website up and I want it to work for people and I don't
68:00
want everybody coming at me and saying yeah I'm getting 404 errs constantly because you like screwed up the
68:04
threading or something on you know on your Forum I I don't want to deal with that and with Squarespace you can dink
68:09
around with it if you want they have an advanced mode so you can you can totally
68:13
play around with things if you want to otherwise what are they based on I'm
68:17
sorry what what are they based on are they are they like uh are they Linux
68:21
Windows ASP net Apache like what do what do they use for their back in look who
68:24
you're talking to man I actually never touched it because um edel actually did
68:29
all of the design so I don't know and neither of them will know so that
68:32
question's going nowhere all right sorry so the can I drag drop my pictures and
68:37
people can see them that's how easy it is our designer basically did the site
68:42
yep I actually never touched it I'm going to try it out guys all right
68:45
Square Squarespace site coming your way all right cool okay and so look at that
68:50
we look at that so okay so just as a reminder guys squarespace.com / Linus
68:54
you can save 10% Barnacles so make sure
68:57
you save your 10% on your new activation with offer code Linus all right let's
69:01
move into give me your affiliate link I don't want lus getting my 10% oh wow I'm
69:05
just kidding I'm just kidding you come on my show you don't give me my 10% or
69:11
your 10 it's your 10% I don't even get I don't even get anything for it I don't
69:17
even get a commission on those signups it's they just they sponsored the show
69:20
at a flat rate I'm stab you my 3D print
69:23
a knife okay here hold still that's actually pretty cool um I went to the
69:28
gaming section and I didn't see any sites designed by Squarespace and I was like that kind of makes sense maybe
69:32
because these are all programmers so I jump to the design side and I'm pretty sure this is Squarespace site and it's
69:36
the very first one I there you go all right so we do have
69:41
one more sponsor today and that is ASUS with their g750 JayZ notebook The
69:47
Notebook that actually doesn't make a ton of sense for us to be sitting here
69:50
on the show using unless we're Jay-Z Thank you you for
69:56
that you know that I actually I actually
70:00
have to send these sponsor spots to our sponsors and they get to
70:05
hear that joke but look at the interaction with twitch chat which
70:08
hasn't started happening they don't they don't watch the whole show for context
70:13
all they hear is wow they made a joke
70:17
about the letters J and Z being in the product part number see the the people
70:22
in the chat love it you are like a genius hey Jay-Z jokes are funny okay I
70:26
saw a Supra Toyota Supra with the hood open there was two pictures of Jay-Z
70:30
under the hood and it said two JayZ because there's two of them and that's
70:34
that's the engine well you guys would know that you're not car nerds are you
70:37
no nerds all right I'm bringing you I'm bringing you into our sponsor spot
70:41
because we're actually going to turn this sponsor spot into a bit of a
70:45
discussion about the g750 j-z because last week um he okay I'll move him down
70:52
okay can you just everyone patting his head can everyone just calm down for a
70:56
second I'm trying to do something here all right so last week when I did my
71:00
sponsor spot for the for the 750
71:04
JZ now I'm not going to be able to say that was a straight face for the rest of
71:08
the show I hate you I hate you oh my God
71:12
okay the problem was that I had set one up for myself to use and I'd been like
71:17
yep I'm ready to rock on this thing I'm gonna like play around with it and
71:21
Benchmark it a little bit and then this guy
71:24
flies out to Boston takes my machine that I set up and I got to start over
71:28
from scratch so I'm just like oh way you took you took the money I set up now so
71:32
I'm like now it's all tedious and I have to like log into all my accounts and all
71:36
this crap again so I actually had to do the show last week having just taken the
71:41
the the laptop out of the box basically put it on my lap and started the show so
71:45
aside from appreciating that the cooling system on it is pretty good and my lap
71:49
doesn't get too hot especially for a gaming notebook I really didn't have
71:52
much to say about it but since then we
71:56
have benchmarked the thing and let me let me ask you this uh Jerry did you
72:01
know that the GTX 880m is actually
72:04
pretty damn close to the full spec of a GTX
72:07
770 no but that's pretty damn impressive being in a laptop what's the battery
72:11
life like 20 minutes the actually we the one thing we haven't benched is battery
72:15
life but I'm assuming it's not like hours and hours and hours when you're
72:19
gaming I think it's going to go like this like this is 100% it's like okay word processing you're good watching
72:23
movie you're good playing the game it's just going to bounce like but this does
72:27
have NVIDIA's new thing yeah we saw that work it does have Optimus so that means
72:31
that like his laptop that he's been using for the entire show which is a couple hours now is sitting at uh 67%
72:38
battery so when you're not at 100% oh that's right that was the one that
72:42
wasn't plugged in isn't it okay so so the so when you're not gaming out flat
72:46
out not that bad but the crazy thing
72:49
okay so it has a full GK 104 core in
72:53
there no disabled Cuda course it h it's
72:56
clocked about 20% higher than the last gen 7 ADM or whatever it was so it's
73:01
actually clocked at about 1 GHz we played around with overclocking a little
73:05
bit you can overclock it using standard overclocking tools and get this even
73:10
though the CPU so it's a 4700hq I think it is versus like a 4770k
73:17
and if you look at Intel's um if you go on Arc you can find out that those two
73:21
CPUs cost exactly the same so the clock speed of that CPU is a good like 20 30%
73:26
slower but our review of this is coming out tonight Luke benchmarked it against
73:31
a comparably priced desktop featuring a GTX 770 and a 4770k and it was what like
73:38
60 70 80% of the speed depending on the
73:41
game yeah and like you have to you have to realize that we also hit the same
73:45
spec as the laptop it's like we had a Thunderbolt motherboard and we had a
73:48
Blu-ray we we went to be feature complete we wanted to be feature
73:52
competitive with the laptop what's the res what's the res on the screen on that
73:55
thing it's 1080 so 1080p God so that
73:58
would probably run gez that would probably run like Battlefield 4 on Ultra like no sweat yeah that's insane laptop
74:06
the theme of the review is not you know
74:09
is this the lightest most portable thing in the world no it's not but the theme
74:14
of the review is is there room in the world for a laptop that exists between
74:20
the bulk of a desktop and the slimness of something like a thin and light
74:24
gaming notebook when the price to
74:27
Performance compared to a desktop is actually not that far off so our laptop
74:32
ended up costing I think a couple hundred more to have feature completeness so for things like the
74:36
desktop we got a webcam just a $2 webcam
74:40
because a laptop has a webcam it's part of the overall Computing experience we
74:44
grabbed a decent keyboard with a backlight because it's got a decent backlit keyboard on it so we did all
74:48
those things and it was about a couple hundred bucks out and I think it was around 70 to 80% of the performance
74:53
performance so very interesting no and the thing is
74:57
with me is like and and this is the other thing is some people like especially like women I would find like
75:02
my wife they like having compact Small Things fitting their purse carry around
75:05
like my wife she has she actually has a MacBook Air and she loves it she
75:08
absolutely loves thing I can't pry it out of her hands we will have one person
75:12
watching this show that is like I am a female and I want a 750 JayZ yeah that's
75:19
fine because this show is powered by the isusa g750 Jay-Z so go for right but
75:24
anyway I I would rather have a large
75:28
desktop replacement class laptop cuz weight's not an issue with me I'm 280 lbs I don't care I'll carry around a
75:32
freaking desktop on my back I don't care but uh I used to have this laptop my
75:35
favorite laptop ever of all time it was a Dell XPS you remember those Godly old
75:40
laptops they had 17inch screens on them they weighed like 20 pounds they were
75:44
like this thick yeah I I had one of those and it had the most amazing specs
75:49
for the time and I remember I gamed oh and it had a uh had had a 19 uh was it
75:54
1920 by or 1900 X 1200 screen so the old you know uh was it 9 by 10
76:00
aspect 16 by 10 yeah yeah the thing played everything absolutely everything
76:05
for like two years on Max settings after I got it it was a work I I didn't buy a
76:08
work work God I think it was like it's five grand or something for that thing but still for to have a laptop that for
76:13
two years had specs that just blew I mean it blew my desktop Dev machine away
76:17
everything I used it for absolutely everything I even had a dock so that you could just plug the damn thing in and
76:21
have it on all your laptops I like I think that that's the that's the
76:24
experience I'd like to move towards like I think ASUS is kind of headed in that
76:28
right direction where if you have a laptop that can produce the same
76:31
graphical horsepower as a desktop and it can support multiple monitors through a
76:35
dock and connect all your peripherals I would rather just take that with me
76:39
everywhere come home slap it down on my Dock and have that all available to me
76:43
and there's there is a market for that and so that was that was the that was
76:48
the journey that we were going on because you talk about how that one cost
76:51
you five grand or cost Microsoft 5 grand or someone paid grand for it whereas
76:56
this one's 2200 which to me is a lot more
77:00
reasonable and a lot closer when you consider the fact that it comes with a
77:03
monitor and it comes with keyboard and all that kind of stuff is a lot closer
77:06
to what I would expect an Enthusiast to pay for a gaming machine yeah I'd say
77:10
there's probably what about a $500 Delta there between building something comparable on the desktop um about 200
77:17
actually really wow if you make yourself you know cuz it has Thunderbolt and
77:21
stuff like so if you buy Blu-ray Drive like if you make yourself buy all the
77:25
same features and you can agree or disagree with this particular config but
77:29
it's available in a variety of configs with you know 16 gigs 24 gigs 32 gigs of
77:33
RAM however much you need so whether you agree with this particular config or not
77:37
if you want to build the same thing as a desktop we came around $200 short on the
77:41
desktop wow wow is it an SSD in that too standard equipment uh two ssds two 128s
77:47
and a one terab hard drive dude that is
77:50
that is whoa whoa two ssds and a one terab physical Drive yeah so they're m.2
77:55
ssds so there's no bottleneck there and then it's also got a and it's fully
77:59
upgradeable so you can just um you take out one screw and it's a nice little
78:04
retained screw and then you can access both of the SSD slots as well as the
78:09
hard drive slot and then two of the memory slots very very easily damn it's
78:12
kind of making my Surface RT here feel a little underpowered and
78:17
inadequate super thin well for what it's worth as much larger uh as my laptop is
78:23
than yours you are that much larger than me that's true that's true and my and my
78:28
computer system is that much larger too right so wow wow so now okay well um my
78:35
um helicopter is larger than yours oh
78:38
don't you mean your Lamborghini yeah my Lambo Lambos aren't about the size my
78:42
friend Lambos are not about the size they're about the speed everyone knows
78:47
faster is much more satisfying I'm GNA own a Lambo one day now if you open the
78:52
door the inside going to say Pontiac Fiero but it on the outside all Lambo
78:56
it's going to be awesome all right we should do some actual topics for a sec
79:00
here so uh this was probably one of the funniest posts that I have ever seen on
79:04
the lonus tech tips Forum by brown ninja 97 um basically he's like okay you have
79:09
to put on this music you have to put on this music while you read it dramatic
79:14
music and give it up for the gt75 gt710
79:18
and gt720 so the uh the Kings of rebadging
79:24
the uh the um you know GPU makers of the
79:29
world first up the gt720 is a rebadge of
79:33
the GT 610 which was a rebadge of the GT
79:36
520 so 48 hole Cuda cor with a 64-bit
79:40
memory bus the gt710 is not a rebadge of the
79:46
gt620 what it's a rebadge of the
79:49
gt630 it's actually a cut down GT6 other
79:53
name and then finally the uh the new
79:57
flagship mascot is the gt720 which uh is the same as the above
80:02
card but Superior instead of being a half Rebrand so a cut down Rebrand it is
80:07
a full Rebrand um this is an awesome post have
80:12
you not read this I had not read this oh my goodness this is really well done so
80:16
is NVIDIA just employing like some guy that just sits back there with some sandpaper and just takes the top off and
80:20
then gets out his little calligraphy pen he like this is GK 208 Dash I see their
80:27
point I see why they're not even
80:30
bothering in the low end because quite frankly I think that under something
80:36
like a 60 class card on the NVIDIA side
80:39
so so an x60 or even an X you know 50 where
80:44
they're actually using the same GPU as the 6D class card which is well last
80:49
generation anyway was using the same GPU as the as the 7 class card I think that
80:54
they don't get a compelling enough cost
80:58
savings under that die size to even make
81:02
the thing competitive so they're just they're delivering these cards to Market
81:06
because mainstream people at Best Buy buy them and if NVIDIA doesn't make this
81:11
card then AMD will and someone has to sell a graphics card to that person but
81:16
I think they've just given
81:19
up oh that's funny I mean we've had this
81:23
talk before though this like exact same thing this is just more direct there was
81:28
like yeah there's some stuff whatever like I mean we I did a video a little
81:33
while back where I basically maybe this is why AMD didn't send me an R9
81:38
295x2 no I I don't think that's it they're actually sending one now so we
81:43
have Austin's and they just confirmed that they found one for us so I'm like
81:47
okay God oh yeah you're going to send it to me afterwards right for my bit coining rig come on oh absolutely
81:52
awesome awesome yeah um so so anyway so
81:55
we did a video a little while ago about how the r7240 is stupid and nobody
82:00
should buy it and we actually in spite of us presenting these facts this is how
82:06
it performs this is what it does and this is how much it costs this card
82:10
makes no sense and nobody on Earth should buy it we actually had people
82:14
disliking the video and justifying it in the video comments and telling me that I
82:19
was wrong and close-minded and I'm just sitting here going okay then you guys
82:24
can keep buying GT 720s for all I care because there's nothing I can do for you
82:28
dude some people are just all about The Branding didn't we give an exact price
82:33
per performance comparison of an AMD card that was better but I had people
82:37
say but I had people saying I had people saying look these are for like upgrading
82:41
machines and offices to which I would reply well no uh HD 5450 which are like
82:49
$13 are for upgrading machine Mach in
82:53
offices so there's there's the cheap card and then there's the card that has
82:58
performance and then there's this weird thing that's expensive and doesn't have
83:01
performance and it just shouldn't exist but people don't get it rebranding
83:06
pisses me off because I've actually bought the same thing twice because of
83:10
it before did you really you got to tell
83:13
the story I'm G to tell the story and and it's so it's software not Hardware
83:17
software I just want to be clear on that on Hardware I'd probably do a little bit more due diligence but there's a game
83:22
called the War Z oh no biggest piece of
83:26
ever made in the history of anything anything horrible now this game
83:32
I mean massive Uprising against it right if you guys know the stories behind it like the communities rose up against it
83:36
it was a big huge you know pay pay to win game anyways I bought it I was
83:41
pissed I sent him money I said give me my refund this is horrible they finally
83:44
refunded my money and no kidding on a steam sale a couple weeks later a new
83:48
game pops up called infestation Survivor stories and I'm like that looks cool so
83:54
I buy it I open the game up guess what it was the War Z all the graphics
83:59
exactly the same everything exactly the same settings music everything the same
84:03
all they did was just change one graphic in the game from the War Z to freaking
84:06
infestation Survivor stories so then I got on the Forum and I find out that oh
84:09
no they had to change they had to change the name for some reason they they they
84:12
just renamed the game I was the only one that got hit by this like because it was
84:16
in one of those humble bum bundles I was like I'm gonna God of course I want it
84:20
and that's what I bought it for and then I opened it I just I just face palmed I was like did I just really do that oh my
84:25
God but I but I was happy to know that I wasn't alone that other people were doing it too but it just it pisses me
84:29
off because it's like no you created it as that product it needs to stay that
84:33
product I'm sorry that was actually that was a big deal when they renamed
84:36
themselves a lot of people bought it oh my God that was actually like a big
84:40
problem and that was the thing is it wasn't available on Steam before that
84:43
too so it was like a new game to steam it was a completely new name you could
84:46
tell that they I mean they they should have got the crap suit at them for that
84:50
because it was obvious that they were just trying to deceive the public and I
84:53
was just like and I fell for it I felt like an idiot and I still do because
84:57
it's still sitting over here in my freaking Steam folder that's how I found the name it's
85:01
not even installed I didn't even bother downloading it because I it's not it's not even worth the the freaking Gigabyte
85:07
it'll probably occupy on my S my precious SSD yeah oh horrible so yeah I
85:12
hate rebranding and then and then from the Microsoft side so I don't so I don't
85:15
look like I'm just playing devil's advocate here to everything that isn't Microsoft you know we had to rename sky
85:19
drive to one drive we actually had to rename it like it was it was a it was a
85:23
legal battle that we lost but still it sucks because I get all this influx of
85:27
mail from my family and everything going oh man should I upgrade to one drive I
85:31
got Sky Drive what hey is this one drive thing better I'm like no oh just just
85:37
download the update it's the same thing it's a changed graphic but it's just
85:41
that's how marketing Works people see something new they genuinely believe
85:44
it's something new and it's something better right like that's the initial you
85:48
know benefit of the doubt that you give to the product I'm like oh my god there should just be there should be freaking
85:51
laws against that speaking of something new and something legitimately different
85:56
Quan like I am so glad this is finally happening you can leave anytime if you
86:01
want I not not you him I don't even know
86:05
if I can because I don't have a phone so orchestrating these things hard so I'll
86:11
you try to figure it out okay um so quantana I'm I'm glad this is finally
86:15
happening where Wi-Fi is finally going somewhere because for the longest time I
86:20
was sitting here going okay so like my mobile data connection is like getting
86:25
awesomer by the generation and like Wi-Fi
86:29
wi okay so we went from we went from what like Wireless A to B which was like
86:34
slower and then we went to wireless G which just got us back to like Wireless
86:39
a speeds again but like better range and then we stuck with G for 100 billion
86:44
years that's true that's true and then and then when n came out it wasn't even
86:48
n it was like uh what what they call it draft n draft n yeah it was draft and it
86:54
it wasn't really faster yet and then
86:57
finally we got like we got like mimo concurrent in and then that like got
87:03
faster and then and then those routers were so expensive that everyone started
87:08
costing down and doing like 150 megabit
87:11
n that wasn't even really that much faster and then finally things are
87:16
starting to heat up a little bit we got AC which can do real world throughput if
87:21
you're using a of like 500 600 megabit
87:25
and then now quantana is announcing development of a 10g 802.11 AC chipset
87:31
so this will support eight stream
87:34
configurations versus three stream previously up to a 160 MHz channels up
87:40
from 80 MHz and multi-user mimo so we
87:43
could be looking at some serious
87:46
performance versus broadcom's 5G just
87:50
don't stand within 10 foot of it or you will go sterile just saying that's okay
87:55
I've already procreated I don't want to so we can
87:58
definitely get one of these in the office oh yeah oh wait I did two I'm
88:01
gonna order two don't Kidd so I think that's pretty much all I
88:06
have to say about that especially because we don't have much time left here but I think that's fantastic I
88:11
think that we're a long way away from even being able to leverage something like 10g Wireless I mean you know you
88:15
talk about nand capacities and how they've stagnated in devices let's talk
88:19
about how nand speeds haven't really changed much over the last few years
88:23
because each processed node shrink actually causes Nan performance to get
88:28
worse without fancy controller tricks and and don't forget all the all the the
88:32
the basically frequency pollution now that's going on I mean I have literally
88:36
50 plus networks within the vicinity of my house it's cascaded across all the
88:40
channels like I that's one of the things I like using my Nexus for I opened up and I used that uh what is it Wi-Fi
88:45
monitor yeah and Wi-Fi monitor basically is just like a million lines it
88:49
basically looks like Global thermal nuclear war going on across all of the
88:53
frequencies and all of the Bands I swear no matter what I do with two access
88:57
points and three repeaters in my house I still have dead spots just because
89:00
everything's occupied someone needs to make the Wi-Fi fighting game yes oh
89:06
that'd be cool where it's like global thermonuclear war Wi-Fi Edition and like
89:11
the the planet is like the range of your Wi-Fi you have to like fight off other
89:15
Wii that is genius like scor remember that game scorched Earth yeah dude
89:20
scorched Earth with Wi-Fi signals like everybody sets up their access points
89:24
and you literally put it up on the screen and then you go move your access points around to try to attack their
89:28
router that would be awesome somebody do that Kickstarter Kickstart that project
89:33
I'll throw some yeah someone will Kickstart it for like 5,000 bucks and it'll be funded by like 10 quillion
89:37
percent and then never you'll make yeah you'll make $50 billion and you won't even have to create a real product since
89:41
most kickstarters don't anyways yeah sell the
89:45
Facebook why am I even on this
89:48
show I even want to talk to you people why fighter
89:52
why I like it why I can't come up with something better wi fighter I love it
89:57
okay next topic Amazon's smartphone revealed in leaked photos so the big
90:03
news here original article from BGR posted by
90:06
dezi on the Forum so the big news here
90:10
is that Amazon has put is it four or
90:13
five I think they put five cameras on the front of it six oh on the front yeah
90:18
five on the front yeah five cameras on the front of this thing and basically
90:22
the objective here that they're trying to
90:26
objectify achieve I suppose would be a better word for that the objective
90:29
they're trying to objectify the objective here is to make it 3D looking
90:35
without needing the same kind of uh the same kind of screen element that they
90:39
have in front of the DS without needing active shutter glasses so the way it'll
90:43
work is the cameras are actually going to track your eye movement so they can
90:46
create 3D elements in things like the wallpapers um app icons things like
90:52
photos so while you're shopping you can you can kind of look around the side of
90:57
things like kind of like a parallax effect um would this sell you a new
91:03
phone Jerry or you for that yes okay if
91:06
it was done properly yes and I'll tell you why I'll tell really yes hold just
91:10
hold God just calm your what' you say calm calm your what mamor can't say that
91:15
really calm them Canadia hold on I'll tell you why I'll tell you why because
91:20
if they do it properly and it attracts my eyes it's like looking through a
91:23
window so you get that perceived uh larger larger volume of screen you get
91:28
it closer to your face you get more of an angle outwards I I tested some
91:32
technology like this a couple years ago where they put a MAG a magnet on your
91:36
head and uh this was this was a secret research project never went anywhere but
91:40
anyways it had a had a magnet on it and you moved your head around and the
91:43
camera in the sensor tracked the magnet and changed the screen but it was cool
91:47
because you were looking at a screen that was only about I think it was like a 20 little 20inch screen yeah and you
91:52
could get closer to it and like look out and it and it tricked your brain into
91:56
thinking I mean like you were looking out a window it looked like you could see this huge amazing area so if you
92:00
zoomed in on a photo or something like that you could easily just tilt the
92:03
phone and look around and get it closer and everything like that it'd be a really natural experience for looking it
92:08
very large High detailed photography I think cool I like it if it works
92:12
anywhere near half decently have you seen an eye tracking that doesn't suck
92:15
yet yeah no it's not going to work we already know we know it won't it'll be like you'll turn it and it'll lag and
92:19
then you'll throw up because it'll screw with your brain wrong the the Toby video that we tried to film
92:24
at CES and were successful but it took
92:27
very many attempts because of how not working it was um and like every ey
92:32
tring technology I've ever seen not working and I fully expect this to come
92:36
out and people using their phones and they're just trying to use their phones normally and then all a sudden it's just
92:40
going to start tilting like crazy because it's going to start tracking on like your cat who's C on your shoulders
92:45
well the problem was the only reason it was even remotely believable in the in
92:48
the one that I tested was because they used this magnet because the reason why
92:51
they used the magnet was because there was the least amount of leg between it it it was tracking a magnetic field
92:56
basically right and so it worked very very fast very fluid but you had to be
93:00
within like 10 Ines of the receiver for it to work properly so when you're
93:05
dealing with cameras it's like I don't care how fast the CPU is we're a long
93:08
way off from having zero leg when you have to do image processing to figure
93:11
out where some so far away and combine that with the fact that the image is
93:15
going to be completely rubbish because I
93:18
mean you look okay you look at you look at how hard it is how much work it takes
93:24
how much how much focusing on this and you know uh exposure that on an $8,000
93:31
piece of equipment like what we have to get a good image out of that that would
93:35
actually allow even a person to to to
93:38
look at the eyes and go yeah that's exactly where they're looking now your
93:42
CPU has to figure that out with like a webcam I'm honestly wondering if it's
93:46
more going to be just like physical head position cuz they say eye tracking but
93:51
what they're talking about seems more like if your head was over here you're
93:55
probably looking in that General Direction that's going to throw me for a
93:58
loop anyway no and I don't think it's going to be very good and uh yeah
94:03
honestly I just I think it's I would fully expect it to be more head position
94:06
than anything because they're talking about tilting icons and they're talking
94:10
about other stuff which isn't super like I'm looking at the top of the screen or
94:13
I'm looking at the bottom of the screen because you're probably going to want it flat there no matter what so it's I
94:17
think it's honestly more my head is over here and the phone is still here so it's
94:21
going to be slanted towards me this way and and look at current tracking
94:25
technology right when you got things like connect and stuff like that where they're having to use multiple things
94:28
like INF fored and uh you know basically a project you know infrared projection
94:33
to be able to track your distance from the device it just it doesn't seem like
94:36
an image contains enough information without a hell of a lot of horis sixs
94:39
which that you know translates into more CPU um to figure that out and it's never
94:44
going to be 100% And I think that would wig me out if I was looking at something
94:47
and it just you know it just screwed up and all of a sudden just started like jittering and flipping around and trying
94:51
to reorient itself I just I don't see it working I honestly don't some someone in
94:56
the chat said tilting icons with a crazy face uh yeah the main things that
95:01
they're showing off is like tilting icons on your home screen and
95:06
perspective of buildings changing when you're in a Maps application and like
95:09
we've seen stuff kind of like this like you look at like the The Parallax
95:13
effects that guys like apple have on things like desktop wallpaper so you
95:16
tilt your phone around and you reveal different parts of the photo and like I
95:20
just don't care I I have never once enabled that because who cares it
95:26
doesn't enhance my life it's like kind of neat but if I'm going to get an extra
95:29
1% battery by turning it off then I'll take that instead well I remember when
95:33
they enabled the Parallax on the when I got my iPhone 5 I was like oh man this
95:36
is cool and honestly I haven't noticed it since I left the store I mean it was
95:41
totally 100% just a gimmick I mean it's a Meg pie feature you know if I ever
95:45
have to sell anything to Jerry just throw like uh Parallax and Bluetooth on
95:49
the box that's all you need just got parallax blo tooth and yeah just God if
95:54
we just if we sent him a box okay like I
95:57
wonder I wonder if you could do this you know how actually Microsoft's a great
96:01
example where you you'll have a box that basically says if you open this seal you
96:06
agree to this contract this right that y
96:09
okay what about this as a business model
96:13
sending people boxes in the mail where
96:16
if they break the seal they agree to pay for whatever's inside it interesting
96:22
would it be legally would it be legally enfor not be okay I don't think oh man
96:27
but you can send people junk mails so you should be able to send people that without asking so hold on a second if we
96:33
sent Jerry a box that just
96:37
says Parallax enabler um you know may contain stuff
96:43
yeah may contain may contain Bluetooth
96:46
possible traces of Bluetooth Yeah Yeah by opening this box you agree to pay
96:50
$100 trapment yeah how I end up being the butt end of a social engineering
96:55
experience here would you open the thing
96:58
I would I dude I I'd have to I'd have to and I'd probably have to make a video
97:02
about it to recoup the money that I paid you for he'd be like I might have been
97:05
drunk when I ordered this let's open it up and see what it is right and then
97:10
video I did I ordered a bunch of stuff and I forgot what it was the way the
97:13
business model works is you build enough margin into whatever you're shipping
97:17
people that you know what essentially nothing Amazon do this cuz you know how
97:22
they they aren't they planning aren't they they're planning on preemptive shipment or whatever go up at your house
97:27
and you just be like I don't want it it goes back are they planning that that
97:30
was like a when when we were talking about the drones this was something they were talking about okay well there okay
97:35
so this this goes so this is but then that's you know what it is no no so this
97:39
this is a whole other this is a whole other thing this isn't like like Sundries that you're ordering on a
97:44
regular basis like toner this would be like you know the the suggested items
97:48
when you go on amazon.com they just start shipping you this stuff Stu so the
97:51
outside of the box is just a picture of what's inside hey we thought you might
97:54
like this yeah if you open it then you pay for it yeah no that's the okay oh
97:59
it's the if you accept the shipment or not they're talking about they're going
98:02
to try and predict stuff that you this was like a a theoretical possible in the
98:07
wave future this is while the Drone stuff was going on this was the Amazon crazy time uh but they were talking
98:12
about how they're going to try and use their predictive model to guess what
98:15
you're going to buy and just ship it to you well there you go that's basically
98:19
the same thing if you keep checking something a lot a lot a lot a lot
98:23
they'll maybe just like send it to you and then it'll show up that at the door free shipping and it'll just be like
98:27
well if you pay the delivery dude it's
98:31
yours it's kind of interesting I it's a commitment model I I would almost I I
98:36
don't want to say that I would I would do it right off the bat but if they if they were really good at the prediction
98:40
if the prediction was good not like this crap where viager ADS keep popping up
98:44
it's like I don't need it guys would you stop trying to sell to me but uh it's if
98:48
if they could get it right and they knew what I needed like okay we know that you
98:52
know Jerry goes through 15 rolls of toilet paper a day so he's going to need new toilet paper every Tuesday that
98:57
would be cool if stuff just showed up and it showed up on a Cadence that
99:00
actually matched how you were consuming and using it and stuff like that would be awesome actually i' I'd love that if
99:04
I just came home and it's like oh man I'm almost out of milk and it's like 15
99:08
minutes later there's a knock on the door and it's there or not a knock so much as a drone honking a horn or
99:12
something like that you know then it drops off that I mean I think it's cool
99:15
I I think it's cool and and the Drone idea I think is cool too but they just need to make them armor plated cuz all
99:19
I'm going to do is buy 99 cent items then shoot the Drone down and sell the
99:22
parts on eBay I mean this opens up a
99:26
whole big problem though for companies that aren't Amazon that who suck at it
99:32
that suck at it because if lonus Media
99:36
Group was going to get into the the just sending random things to everyone a
99:40
shirt it's just like yeah you probably want it yeah you probably so the idea is
99:45
you would build in enough margin to into
99:48
the product that whatever's Inside the Box that the idea is that you'd be able to
99:53
afford whatever collection service you need to be able to send after these
99:57
people and you just turn this into like
100:01
pounding pounding people until they pay and then anyone who pays you send them
100:05
more and more stuff I I think the idea with the Amazon one was you'd have to
100:09
pay when it showed up at the door right cood that's even SM it was all it wasn't
100:14
like uh you pay this later or brilliant cood love it or your credit card's
100:18
hooked up to Amazon so if you accept the shipment just goes Boop and just takes
100:22
it the problem is that plays on people's curiosity really bad
100:26
right shows up my door I'm going to be like I want to know what's in the box
100:29
what's in the boxes not hide what it no that's my
100:32
model is where we hide what's inside this lus is crazy scammy not okay going
100:36
to go to jail model Amazon's actual model is like this is what it is do you
100:41
want it if you want it right now you can pay for it if not you can I don't know that mine's illegal I'm pretty sure I
100:46
don't think it's illegal illegal but I'm guessing your model is going to be somewhere along the lines of if you want
100:49
to see what's inside the Box pay $4 9.95 and they going to open up it's going to be like a box of half eaten Cracker
100:54
Jacks yeah yeah well that's what your
100:57
box would have in it someone else's box might contain
101:00
candy L's box will be full of like the coupons that showed up in the mail the
101:04
previous week be like here I don't want these this is technically garbage those
101:09
are really good coupons hey let's start experiment two for one Let's do let's do
101:14
a give let's start off with a giveaway where we send a box to somebody and then once they accept the Box there's another
101:19
box inside of it with an address that they then have to send it to A&W coupons
101:23
are a great deal yeah it it'll be like one of those Russian doll things you
101:27
know we'll just get like 30 boxes together send it the first guy and see who receives the last box yeah it'll be
101:32
awesome all right I think we've got like one or two more topics that we actually
101:37
need to do before we end the show here so uh I'm I'm going to get on that uh
101:42
twitch is now funding and
101:45
selling games I actually didn't even read this article so hopefully you did
101:50
yeah nope oh um well there we go posted
101:53
on the Forum by caca DJ look guys what I know I know I know a few things it's my
101:58
day off so it was posted originally on kit Guru uh twitch has started funding
102:02
games after the success of Twitch Plays a title called choice chamber emerged it
102:06
plans to use player interaction through twitch and Advance the story via voting
102:11
so there you go anyways they needed 30,000 and it seemed they wouldn't reach
102:15
it so twitch stepped in and covered the rest of it which is around 15 grand so
102:20
twitch does make a butt ton of money on things like Twitch Plays just because of
102:24
all the viewers that are watching it and watching Dem ad Impressions so this
102:28
makes a ton of sense for them is there anything else really yeah no that's
102:32
that's pretty much it and they're in such a great position to do this they
102:36
really are like so many people that are actively wanting and trying to oh my God
102:41
what a pain okay guys we're back we're really sorry about that um Sorry's fault
102:47
it's all sorry everyone sorry why do we even locally
102:52
record I guess there's a good reason because of what just happened never mind
102:55
yeah whoa the chat is flying yeah people are people are raising all the dongers
103:00
in upset um okay so anyway I guess that
103:03
was it for that topic sorry everyone uh
103:07
last topic today why you might not want
103:10
yeah it was $50 a $50 Project
103:14
Ara so I think we actually kind of talked about this already but anyway the
103:18
original article was on slashgear and the idea is that even though Project
103:22
R looks really cool there's going to be a few different sizes it's going to be
103:26
super affordable check this out this is a prototype right here that actually has
103:31
like spots for modules to kind of slide into the idea is that it is going to be
103:37
so basic at least out of the box that
103:41
probably phone enthusiasts will give exactly zero cares about it at least at
103:46
the beginning we knew this though we knew this but there you go
103:53
um oh okay sorry I was catching up with you guys so that's that's the okay the
103:56
modular smartphone design actually I I would I'd buy one just to Tinker with it
104:01
you know just be just being a developer I just want to play around with the platform unfortunately probably not that
104:05
much tinkering though because if you look at it it's like this is the CPU
104:08
slot which you can only have one exact
104:11
size for so tinkering is going to be at
104:15
almost the same level as like unplugging and plugging in a
104:18
USB oh screw that I'm out turn off turn
104:21
off the phone Slide the thing Slide the thing turn on the
104:26
phone how much are they predicting this device will be like I mean comparably
104:30
equipped to like you know today's smartphone like I don't just want a CPU
104:33
block I obviously want like a camera and I want storage yeah yeah yeah there's
104:37
all those things too but it's the the the thing that I wasn't super stoked on
104:41
was the phone blocks idea if you paid a lot of attention to the phone blocks
104:45
idea the size of the blocks changed because he was like oh well you can
104:49
increase performance in this way like say you want a way better camera you can
104:53
change the size and type and style of the blocks with actual Project Ara it's
104:59
predefined size slots right oh okay so
105:03
so there's there's a big limitation on what you can thicker but not maybe if
105:08
you look at the way it rails in it might not even be able to be made thi and the
105:12
another thing is if I put this thing in my pocket is it going to just come out as like a pile of blocks every time I
105:16
reach in there to try to answer my phone like just I I don't sounds like mycket
105:21
I don't want to be like talking on the phone or something I bump something like freaking CPU block flies out of it like
105:26
I don't know it's Google the first iteration will probably suck and then
105:30
the second iteration will be okay and then the third iteration will be really
105:34
good it ever comes out it'll be like Google car yeah all right well I think
105:38
we got to go just because I know you have to go I definitely have to go know
