uh technical difficulties over the last few weeks um as you guys have probably
0:05
noticed from week to week over the last well probably six to eight weeks we've
0:10
been very yeah we've been very
0:13
much closer to three actually but that's fair you know uh we've been very much
0:18
under construction for the last little while the W show has actually been
0:22
physically moving around from week to
0:25
week quite frequently this is incredible
0:28
twitch has now implemented a feature
0:32
where the ad that plays before the
0:35
stream cannot be paused or muted that is
0:40
fantastic thank you twitch for that wow
0:44
anyway thanks for like basically making everyone install ad
0:49
block yeah anyway moving on so we've
0:53
been very much under construction and you'll probably notice a huge difference
0:58
between the way we have it set up this week and the way we had it set up last
1:02
week hopefully you guys like it and if you don't the people in the pre-show
1:06
know what I think of that because I personally think it looks great uh
1:10
there's still a few things that we're going to tweak like the positions of things on the shelves and like I want to
1:15
get an actual shock mount for this microphone instead of just having it
1:19
sitting on a folded up shirt can it just be like a little coil that shocks people
1:23
whenever they try to move it no no because if we're going to take it really
1:26
literally shock mount could have a some
1:30
pretty scary sorts of meanings there uh anyway we've got a great show for you
1:34
guys today uh Pebble inro yeah oh there's two different definitions of
1:38
shock that are both that both work well that was a multi multi-level dirty sort
1:44
of toilet humor joke I think I actually thought of the second one I mean are sex
1:47
jokes really toilet humor unless you have sex on a toilet then is not
1:53
recommended but possible but possible it's like no really I got pregnant from
1:57
the toilet seat also there was like another
2:02
there so what is this show about Pebble
2:05
toilet seats has introduced their first round Smartwatch what an innovation we
2:10
should just actually host a w show only about toilet seats no we shouldn't Pat
2:14
Volkswagen oh speaking of things that are in the toilet Volkswagen stock uh
2:20
they've been ordered to recall 500,000 cars that's the initial news that broke
2:25
uh but it's going deeper than that so we're going to be discussing that on the
2:29
show today Apple to release the D Jack
2:34
um which I think I have that patented is
2:37
almost as almost
2:41
as almost as dirty as it sounds and
2:44
North America is straight up out of ipv4
2:49
addresses for real this time so uh stay
2:52
tuned guys it's going to be a great show
3:24
you guys see how smooth that was it worked that's what happens when I
3:28
actually set aside like an hour before the show to set up and then we
3:32
start start like 40 minutes late formatted the system no we still need to
3:37
format the system but everything else about it is set up this system is so
3:43
freaking bored like oh here you know what no no no no I'm going to show show
3:47
them the thing yeah yeah no no I'll okay okay so guys guys this this is going to
3:52
be good hold on let me just make sure there's no like you know nothing that I
3:55
can be sued for on screen here you guys are going to love this though okay so
3:59
add screen capture for you let's do the
4:02
whole screen here all right here we go here we go buddies this is some good stuff right
4:07
here so so check check this out just awesome what is what is
4:14
that what even is that and where did they go where are they and then they're
4:18
going to come back at some point and there's like this one missing yeah and
4:22
like what is this this is nothing it's
4:25
nothing it's just it's just nothing and
4:28
uh that's just that's just one of the many completely broke dick things oh
4:34
yeah about this Windows installed and that's just like weird there's ones that
4:38
are really bad well the thing is is I think when you get enough blue screens
4:43
on a system something just starts bit rot whatever yeah things happen things
4:48
things things just Decay and this is one
4:51
decayed it's not bit rot well Decay okay
4:55
well okay whatever this is a broken
4:58
Windows install it takes forever to boot up on an SSD and it actually has like
5:04
nothing installed on it like webcam drivers uh video chat when you blue
5:09
screen like two times every single time you run the computer yeah then you're
5:13
basically asking asking for trouble but but no no the the stream's not going to
5:18
blue screen because uh we are running off you sted on the blue screen I know
5:22
because it's so scary I wasn't sure if I should say it or not do we have wood is
5:26
this even real wood I don't know it's MDF it's worth it knock on
5:30
MDF um so because the black magic cards
5:34
that cause the stream to blue screen are both working now I did Luke's bringing
5:41
his wood over his massive
5:45
wood all right so we're good we're good
5:49
um people are like bet the RAM is bad no it has nothing to do with bad RAM it has
5:53
to do with the drivers for our black magic capture cards not liking anything
5:59
uh well no more specifically not liking themselves and their
6:03
life um so should we should we like do a
6:07
show I guess I guess I guess we should do a show all right so our first topic
6:12
is uh oh this is interesting hold on wait yes I need the other Mouse though I
6:17
got this lineus screen boom yay things are working today it's
6:23
not going to be that day uh so a new
6:26
face for Pebble it started with a text
6:29
seven years ago something something etc etc all right let's just uh let's just
6:34
pop this baby up okay whatever show us the watch man okay so we had Square watches before
6:39
look at that it's amazing it's actually kind of rounded so I don't know how uh I
6:43
don't know if it's really strictly speaking square but this is it the
6:47
pebble time round oh it keeps going back to he looks like me but with fuzzy
6:52
hair you know you actually have like
6:55
okay I don't want you to take this the wrong way you're going to say You're really generic face
7:00
cuz everyone sends me Twitter things you look like this dude and I'm
7:04
like a lot of the time I I can kind of
7:08
see it I know you have like kind of that
7:11
I never thought that until I got this job and then everyone just tells me that
7:15
I look like everyone yeah yeah like I can kind of see it you're like well
7:19
you're kind of the blue-eyed blond haired like guy with kind of the rugged
7:23
sort of face I don't want to okay well no I'll say ruggedly handsome face okay
7:28
okay with the rugged face usually looks like someone just drove a
7:33
truck over your face yeah it's like you know man it's rugged your face looks
7:37
like it could go through a war yeah your face looks like it could be a
7:43
tire um probably like IP67 so there we go this is the pebble
7:48
time round basically it's got the same processing on board as the steel it is
7:53
hyper hyper thin it is round and they
7:57
have an SDK out for app Developers to allow them to convert their
8:01
applications to the round face which is
8:04
which is the only real difference cuz they haven't changed a bunch of the other Hardware what they did do is they
8:09
nerfed the battery life pretty hardcore
8:13
uh what's up why what do you mean why I
8:16
didn't know that that sucks because it's thin now I don't
8:20
care I was talking to someone the other day this is probably a bad idea because
8:25
I'm talking to people I'm going to well yes but I'm going to say an idea that I
8:28
want to have for a video oh okay but I don't know if you'd let me do it anyways
8:32
but I want to do um a review of modern phones and during the review I want the
8:37
phone that's in my hand to constantly change the whole time and I want it to
8:42
be like it has a great screen it'll run all the apps you want just fine it run
8:47
all your games just fine uh it's nice and thin the buttons are really good the
8:52
headphone jack works really well the speakers are kind of met and it's going
8:55
to be way too easy to block them and they're not in the right spot transfer speeds at USB 2 over wire um like all
9:02
this kind of stuff and then but the batter's [ __ ] thanks for watching have a good
9:07
time I want to do that video so bad because honestly it's pretty accurate
9:12
for like everything I think we could do that but you know what the thing about
9:15
the round is that you can get another day of battery life oh yeah oh yeah it's
9:20
so thin that I don't care anymore and that happened a long time ago and it
9:23
could be thicker but it kind of did yeah it kind of did um there's some good news
9:28
though you can get days worth of battery in 15
9:31
minutes however my issue with Pebble
9:35
continues to be that they use a proprietary charger so the the problem
9:40
is not how long it takes to charge the problem is that I have to actually be
9:45
where my charging cable is which for me is on my nightstand so if I'm traveling
9:49
or whatever the fact that I can charge it up for a day worth of battery and 15
9:53
minutes uh except that I don't have my cable is actually not that not that
9:58
helpful and the fact that they keep changing the cable all the time um like
10:04
every generation they just change the cable need to learn from uh who is it
10:08
who does it really PlayStation I think it's PlayStation's cable has like never
10:12
changed yeah but the compatibility is broken oh yeah that's worse I actually
10:17
didn't know that so when it comes to like seven deadly sins okay when we talk
10:22
when we talk about when we talk about cables because this is something people talked about a lot with Intel lga775
10:29
so this was a time when AMD was changing their CPU socket it seemed like every
10:34
year okay so we had socket a okay 462
10:38
then we got socket 940 on the Enthusiast
10:42
platform for FX which was essentially the server socket but like there was
10:46
like two CPUs and someone's going to correct me I don't care uh the point I
10:51
think we got the FX 51 and 53 and maybe 55 for that socket but it's it's it's
10:56
not the point so then we got soet at 754
11:00
at the same time that was like single Channel memory and the consumer version
11:05
and then both of those went away on the consumer except 940 was still there on
11:08
the server and then we got 939 on the desktop and then we went from 939 to I
11:14
want to say A2 and then we got am2 plus
11:17
and am3 so AMD has done this weird like
11:20
like Anyway this was back in the in the 939 to am 2 days and everyone was
11:24
criticizing AMD going they keep changing their CPU socket I have no upgrade path
11:30
Intel's had lga775 for like 5 years or
11:34
however long they had it the problem is that the intercompatibility from one 775
11:40
board to another 775 chip across Generations was terrible like it was
11:45
awful it changed as often or more as
11:49
AMD's socket did at least with AMD it was clear you buy a 939 chip you put in
11:54
a 939 socket it works with Intel you buy a 775 chip you plug it in and you cross
11:59
your fingers and your toes and you pray to whatever day it is you believe in and
12:02
maybe it'll turn on and a lot of the time the compatibility is more
12:05
complicated than that cuz maybe even if it doesn't turn on you can like I don't
12:09
know find a buddy who has a last gen chip and put that in and Flash the BIOS
12:12
and then maybe the new chip will work but maybe like not quite as optimally come on so that was my favorite part was
12:18
hunting for someone who had the right chip so you could do a bio something
12:24
just horrible so anyway that still a
12:29
complaint however one thing I will say about this super slim design that that I
12:35
do think has a value is my wife looked
12:38
at it immediately said oh that's way
12:42
better so I have been critical but how
12:47
long does it they hit a very good thinness with that I will agree but how
12:50
long does it last I think it's like two to three days or something like that okay so that's not too bad yeah so it's
12:55
still not a one day battery um give me
12:58
just a like I I am I am forgetting how long it's yeah there you go two B two
13:02
day battery life so it's still better than what you're going to get out of an
13:06
Apple Watch and I've been really critical of other Smartwatch makers
13:09
pretty much everyone but Apple for not making like a properly functional
13:14
Smartwatch cuz there have been devices you say everyone but Apple yeah I think
13:18
the Apple watch looks great on a on a lady's wrist oh I heard something else
13:22
no you're good yeah um where was I going with this right so
13:27
I've been really critical of everyone but Apple for not making a properly
13:30
functional Smartwatch that's actually not going to look weird on my wife um so
13:37
now that pebble's doing it I can't rip into them for reducing the battery
13:40
capacity because you have to make trade-offs and I know there have existed
13:45
smart watches and wearable devices that are like fashion accessories but the
13:50
functionality on them is so bad it's
13:54
like it's like you know there's it all
13:57
comes down to what sort of margin a company is used to making okay so when
14:04
uh you know when a computer company comes out with a a new like a new uh you
14:09
know smart accessory and it's priced at X you're going to have like you
14:14
know let's say why amount of functionality built into it because
14:18
they're reserving this much for them to just make money yeah and you need to pay
14:23
other people like Distributors and the guy that actually sells it to you when a
14:27
shoe company comes in and makes a smart
14:31
accessory their expectation for how much is left over at the end is much higher
14:37
so you get like this crummy functionality with a rubbish screen
14:41
sorry oh where' the overlay go that's
14:46
weird what the watermark PNG has
14:50
disappeared that's fine I can I can live
14:54
I can I can work with that um so they're
14:57
going to have a certain expectation for how much margin that they're making and
15:02
that is exactly the problem is that these companies are going to think that
15:07
they should be making you know 200% a watch clothing rates yeah
15:12
clothing clothing jewelry fashion brands
15:16
um are pretty much up their own butts in terms of what they think that their
15:21
vision is worth um and they can they tend to kind of ignore the the Practical
15:25
stuff yeah so like perfume and cologne
15:29
and all that kind like a lot of things in those categories are like that I
15:33
think he just said uh clothing fashion and jewelry because those are the
15:36
companies that are kind of getting into SmartWatches now yes exactly uh so I
15:41
don't know where our normal lower third is since we haven't changed it in
15:44
forever I cannot find it no why is my
15:49
life sad I really need to reformat this
15:55
computer don't let me run the show next week until this computer is formatted
16:01
because run the show then
16:04
hey that's not a nice thing to say all right Fade Away there we go and then I
16:09
think there's like I don't even know where the upper right corner thing is
16:14
like what what where is that does anyone does anyone know I don't think anyone
16:19
knows may just called Watermark why don't you just use the search was it in
16:23
Watermark I don't know was there one called
16:26
Watermark General assets when Watermark
16:29
top left.png yay hey look at that that's not a
16:35
technical difficulty is it is that a strike I think so do we have a three
16:38
strikes rule no can we have a six strikes rule
16:43
15 we need a lot of strikes here yeah all right three is not going to cut it
16:48
six six may be okay six sounds about good all right so anyway that uh that
16:52
watch is aiming to ship somewhere in the time frame of November 10th and honestly
16:56
I'm considering buying one I'll pick one up for the white because she works in a
17:00
pharmacy and in the pharmacy they have like a no phones rule but would
17:06
certainly be nice to to
17:10
be you're just circumventing outdated policies yes so it would be nice to and
17:16
it like it's funny because like around here we're a very techsavvy employer at
17:21
Linus Media Group like if people are on their phones at work I'm not giving them
17:25
a hard time about it because I understand that your phone is like
17:28
pretty much your life unless their job function really has nothing to do with
17:33
their phone and they're on it a lot because I consider things like tweeting
17:38
while you're at the office about the things that we're doing I consider that
17:42
sort of work so but but in a pharmacy I
17:45
also understand this you can't really call it an outdated policy I can't think
17:48
of any reason why a technician is counting pills outdated because it
17:53
didn't include smartw watches oh I see what you mean ah other form of outd
17:58
right so so anyway the point is if there's an emergency with the kids or
18:02
whatever it's nice to be able to get through to her even if she can't message
18:06
me back I don't expect her to use things like you know voice response
18:10
functionality because she's also the manager so the the harder she tries to
18:14
circumvent the rules the more terrible that looks but it's nice to be able to
18:19
you know just be like hey this or whatever hey can you pick up something
18:23
she works at Costco so like there's usually something I want her to buy I
18:28
just ate two bags of those awesome dried mangoes please get me two more bags
18:34
actually make it three it's a
18:38
Friday it's this Friday make it five
18:42
yeah yeah oh it's been a rough day do you want to just do that nope okay
18:46
apparently not you're putting it off apparently for now because something's
18:51
not working great so yeah it's like the the
18:56
most minor of all the things and it's the one it's not working but it kind of
18:59
needs to be set up for everything to go smoothly right everything will go
19:03
without it but not smoothly so this has been huge news over the last week uh VW
19:10
was basically found to be cheating on
19:13
their us emission standards tests the cars were detecting if they were being
19:18
tested and they were reducing their output by as much as 40 times or they
19:24
were outputting 140th uh during testing
19:28
and then they were ramping it up 40 times on the road this is on their
19:32
diesel cars and not all of them but it was ones with their four-cylinder diesel
19:37
engine and so basically what this means is the car performed better for owners
19:42
yeah which it depends how you define
19:46
performed better right it felt peier
19:50
when you pressed the gas pedal yes yeah um but but they were turning off their
19:55
Emissions Control Systems in order to achieve
19:59
this so uh their shares have dropped oh
20:03
this is this is like being updated in like real time their shares have dropped
20:06
approximately 35% so if you believe that Volkswagen is
20:10
going to pull out of this um okay with all the usual disclaimers I don't know
20:16
anyone who works at Volkswagen lonus Media Group has never collaborated with
20:20
Volkswagen um I do not own any shares in Volkswagen I don't own any shares in
20:25
anything so take this as the in what
20:29
oh well in this company no no like publicly traded publicly traded shares
20:32
like ownes on a stock market I don't own any shares of any publicly traded
20:37
companies okay so take this for the ignorance that it
20:41
is if you believe that Volkswagen will recover now might be a nice time to buy
20:46
because that strategy has worked for many people in the past however the
20:52
difference between bad news about a product and bad news about the potential
20:58
18 billion fine that Volkswagen could be
21:02
paying in the us alone so we're talking
21:07
$37,500 per affected vehicle of which
21:10
there are 500,000 Which is higher than the value than a whole bunch of those
21:15
that were recalled um so so so so so factor that
21:21
in now the the bad news gets worse uh
21:25
Volkswagen is being investigated in
21:28
other territories as well and Canada
21:31
being Canada will probably just do the exact same thing that the states did and
21:36
it's not just Volkswagen either so this
21:40
is great uh the BMW x3x Drive 20D
21:44
exceeds European standards by a shocking 11 times the only reason that 11 times
21:50
doesn't sound that bad in this context is that Volkswagen was exceeding the US
21:55
standards by 40 times so yeah BMW has
22:00
issued a denial of any manipulation saying there's no difference in the
22:04
treatment of exhaust emissions whether they are on test rollers or on the road
22:09
although VW has admitted it their CEO
22:12
has stepped down and uh they are in for
22:16
some serious hot water apparently
22:19
there's two water marks now uh oh oh oh
22:23
that's kind of interesting uh I don't know which is
22:27
which oh wow there's two lower thirs
22:30
what is happening I don't know I hate this pick
22:36
the prettier one okay I this is not a
22:39
second strike this is the same
22:42
issue they just like disappeared for a little while I don't know what's
22:46
happening but it's fine now shut up all
22:50
of you what especially
22:54
you anyway BMW's X5
22:58
was looked at by the West Virginia University and EPA as part of
23:02
Investigations into the issue it passed
23:05
it's important to note that almost every car has higher real world emissions than
23:10
their laboratory results that's I mean there are so many things that are like
23:14
that let's talk about you know Wi-Fi speeds hey oh real world nothing to do
23:21
with lab results do they advertise the
23:24
uh you know perfect world no overhead
23:27
test results yes should they be allowed to probably not but is that the world we
23:31
live in yes yeah um that happens for
23:34
tons of stuff so the UK government has stated that today they will be launching
23:38
their own vehicle emissions testing following the US's
23:42
findings oh so this is very much an emerging story we might even be talking
23:47
about this again next week but I think what's safe to say at this point in time
23:51
is that there is one vehicle maker who
23:54
has nothing to worry about Tesla the the safest way to not exceed
24:00
your rated emissions is to have no emissions whatsoever didn't they release
24:05
an ad like trolling them or something is that in here I think they did I don't
24:09
know if this is actually about that um but yeah there's a Tesla no emissions ad
24:14
that it's like the best way to pass an emissions test is to or this whole this
24:18
whole car is an emissions test destroying machine or something I don't
24:21
remember exactly what it is yeah I don't know if this is actually from Tesla or
24:26
anything this just looks that's yeah no that's yeah so there there you go so
24:30
zero emissions uh means they could not possibly get into any kind of hot water
24:35
here so there you go guys um if you have
24:38
an affected car there's a forced recall in the US but stay tuned because things
24:44
are going to get really interesting worldwide over the next I mean this
24:48
could take months this this could take easily months potentially years to
24:52
finally be resolved so if we're going to weigh in on stock things my opinion be
24:58
to not necessarily do it now wait till they get hit by a few more
25:03
countries yeah but then people might go like oh I should buy now because it's
25:07
really low and then it's going to go up and then it might not fall as far as it went up people might be might be trying
25:12
to hold for the long term like yeah we don't know we don't play stocks so
25:17
literally not at all and I will say that I straight up
25:21
don't do it because I don't know what I'm doing yep me
25:25
too all right Apple to Rel release the d
25:30
uh the original article here is Apple Insider salty and creamy at the same
25:36
time what the hell that leaves nothing
25:40
to the imagination uh yeah it does Marmite was salty and creamy that's true
25:45
that was awful that was really bad Marmite is terrible it's really gross
25:48
all of our Australian viewers what you're supposed to do is spread it very
25:53
thinly over toast what is the point and we like lathered it well it's kind of
25:57
like if you took by the way people have been complaining about this you sit back
26:02
like this when you're going to talk for a while and then I can't hear it okay my
26:06
bet when if you took like a massive amount of wow yeah nothing's really that
26:12
bad uh butter if you took so much butter that it was that thick and put it on top
26:16
of a pizza it's like well yeah but no one would ever put butter on pizza but
26:20
no one would ever put marmaid on pizza but some people claim that they would
26:25
who Dennis was saying he thinks it would be good with Dennis is so weird I know I
26:30
don't think Dennis is fair in this conversation this is the guy that literally like spits out a banana when
26:36
he tries to take a bite of a chocolate covered insect that really is not that
26:40
bad wasn't that bad did you eat one no I have way in the past oh okay yeah little
26:45
kid party when I was a little kid like it grossed me out because I kind of have
26:48
a bug phobia so when I crunched into it it was like like it made my whole body
26:52
go like no I can't CR in chocolate yeah
26:55
but but like the taste wasn't that bad no and then Marmite I'm sitting here
27:01
like I folded up my pizza cuz I was trying to get over as fast as possible and then when I bit into it it all
27:05
squished out onto my tongue at the same time so that was the wrong idea I
27:08
screwed up um and I'm like basically hurling in the corner meanwhile Dennis
27:13
is like this is great I I even had to
27:18
ask him I was like would you put Marmite on it just normally and just eat it and he's
27:22
like no maybe less yeah less yeah he was
27:26
like oh well not this much you're me here man uh Marmite yay or nay where
27:33
were we going with this I don't know we were talk oh we were talking about uh
27:37
creamy salty things creamy salty things right okay so I want to no I want to I
27:42
want to I want to throw this to you guys first so we got a straw pull we got a
27:45
straw pull going here Marmite yay or nay and we should give some context for that
27:49
we had to have pizza with Marmite For an upcoming Channel Super Fun so and and
27:53
dragon's Fury hot sauce yeah that was interesting too I what I'll say about
27:58
this upcoming Channel Super Fun is that I literally had to lie down for 10
28:02
minutes about an hour after we filmed it to just let my stomach get its crap
28:07
together so to speak I felt really gross i h oh
28:12
wow oh no I felt really gross and
28:15
honestly I think it was more because of the Marmite yeah it was it was it was a
28:20
terrible experience so let's talk about Apple's new connector now this is funny
28:25
cuz I am pretty sure that we have straight up talked about this on the
28:29
show before how like there's going to be a limit to how thin Apple can go because
28:35
you still need a headphone jack no no
28:38
this is their new patented plug design
28:42
uh that uh that that has a a d like
28:46
profile so basically you're going to take your djack you're going to plug it
28:50
into your phone receptacle and uh in in
28:54
theory there should be no issues with adapting
28:58
the the d-shaped cavity jack to a regular round pair of
29:05
headphones or adapting your round pair of headphones to a d-shaped jack but I
29:11
really have to kind of like remember that rumor that Apple was going to
29:15
convert their phones to use the lightning connector for audio yes um
29:19
that hasn't happened but this almost
29:23
feels even stupider because you're basically just
29:27
forcing people to throw for the sake of
29:31
Elegance you're forcing a lot of people
29:34
to use adapters and I know there's going to be the millions of people out there
29:39
buying Beats and plugging their beats into this with their stupid proprietary
29:44
closed ecosystem ridiculous thing but um
29:49
at the same time it really is pretty annoying would you prefer have the
29:53
lightning connector be taken over anytime you wanted to use headphones or
29:57
would you you prefer being able to plug two things in and have one of them be a
30:02
weird proprietor you know what nothing use a 3 and half millim Jack don't make
30:07
your phone thinner yes yeah your phone is th make your phone thicker enough put
30:12
more battery please I mean it's one of
30:15
those things this is this is what drives me crazy the camera bumps just going to
30:18
be bigger yeah yeah the thinner you go the bigger your camera bump so this is
30:23
what drives me crazy this is what it
30:26
takes okay for an Android phone to
30:30
deliver the experience that I want which
30:33
is me using it pretty much as much as I want for an entire day and the problem
30:39
with Android is that its idle power uh
30:42
management is really bad so poor you take an Android phone with an app load
30:47
out okay it doesn't count to just take it out of the box and put it down and go
30:52
haha see it only lost 7% battery today
30:55
not good enough take an Android phone that actually has apps on it one that
30:59
you actually use yeah put it aside for like a day and it'll have lost 20 to 30%
31:05
battery which is terrible my iPad or my
31:08
iPhone loses like 2% per day I can sit
31:12
my iPad can sit for two weeks without me touching it and still have like 40% on
31:16
the batteries it's actually usable by the time I get back to it so I want
31:21
Apple's battery life management but I
31:25
also want a legitimately High Capac capacity battery because that's the
31:30
problem with the iPhone if you know heaven forbid you dare to use it to
31:36
navigate somewhere it's just instantly
31:39
dead like I can drain an iPhone in like
31:42
you know 5 hours 6 hours if I'm using it
31:46
really heavily like if I'm navigating somewhere and I'm talking to somebody on
31:50
speaker and like like you can hit it pretty hard you can drain it pretty fast
31:55
whereas the Droid Turbo because it actually has a massive battery it's not
31:59
just you know power saving tricks and
32:02
and and and little like voodoo magic that's going on it actually can be used
32:08
for a significant portion of the day so I would love for Apple to do like an
32:12
iPhone 6 endurance or seven endurance or
32:17
or whatever it takes and I know you could say that the 6 Plus or the 6s plus
32:23
is kind of the endurance model but I don't want a fablet
32:29
and I especially don't want a fablet that's extremely difficult to hold on to
32:32
the way that the iPhone 6 Plus is so
32:35
anyway this it's not out yet this is just a patent that they're applying for
32:39
for a headphone jack called the djck um
32:42
yeah djck it's like what is Elon Musk running Apple now like really um I'd
32:49
prefer it that way it looks like the D
32:53
Jack might fit in other phones so it could be yeah like when you look at the
32:58
shape it looks like it could work oh um
33:02
interesting so maybe maybe it's okay but
33:06
uh I don't know like's but you're basically you're going to be buying new
33:09
headphones and the thing about headphones is I really believe in
33:12
investing in a great pair of headphones and then using them for a long time
33:17
because frankly audio
33:20
technology it's improving I usually swap them out when they like break yeah and
33:25
that's fine because the HD 600s are
33:30
still great yep and you could buy 650s
33:34
or 700s but the 600s are still great um and
33:39
with imem I would say this is maybe less true like over the last 5 years I don't
33:44
think there's been a ton of innovation but in the last 20 there's been a lot
33:51
um but uh and a lot of innovation there is
33:54
like not even necessarily Innovation but things inline controls ribbon cables
34:00
nicer nicer fitting things to go on your ears Wireless for example oh speaking of
34:04
Wireless um I've actually got I might actually oh I never really told jbird
34:10
that I was thinking of this because I wasn't at the time but this could work
34:13
they offered to send me the x2s cuz um I don't know if you remember this but I I
34:17
reviewed the blue buds X loved them I know someone who bought them and then they broke like right out of their
34:22
warranty period really yep mine are still going strong that's a bummer yeah
34:26
anyway okay well well at any rate I got slammed for that
34:31
I was like I don't even know what these are cuz I never yeah don't worry so they
34:35
reached out about sending over the x2s for review and I was like ah we're like
34:39
we we don't do that much audio stuff these days like lineus Tech tips is
34:43
transitioning into more like like a show
34:46
and there are reviews but we're kind of saving it for for Marquee products oh
34:53
okay well I mean you guys have probably noticed things like moving Vlog no we're
34:56
the most hard board tech review site on the planet yeah we only do Motherboard
35:01
BIOS don't review anything else Motherboard BIOS yeah yeah yeah okay I
35:08
haven't fired you in a long time that's true but I think that kind of merits it
35:12
you can't when we're the most hardcore tech review channel on the internet you
35:15
can't find me
35:20
wow so anyway I wasn't sure if I was
35:24
going to do a review so I basically said well you can send them if you want no
35:27
guarantees and they're like yeah we'll take that we'll roll that die and then I
35:33
also this was a product that I backed a billion years ago when I was kind of
35:38
getting into doing imem videos and uh
35:42
and it's the dash do you remember the dash no okay so this is a battery
35:48
powered inar right yeah yeah and it's supposed to have like not necessarily
35:52
great battery life but it's supposed to be like super small so I backed that on
35:56
like Kickstarter or Indiegogo or whatever ages ago so I could do a head
36:00
to head cool so maybe I'll do that that should be pretty cool so I can take the
36:04
original blue Bud X I can take the x2s and I can take the dash and I can play
36:08
some badminton and it'll be an excuse to bring a camera crew out and get like
36:12
some wicked cool like slow-mo footage of me playing badminton so I like I like go
36:17
for that I go for that shot and like the sweat drips off my my forehead can we
36:23
get like the stupid Glamour Shots oh I think we should yeah hey Brandon would
36:28
that be fun do you want to come and like hang with me and get some like action
36:33
footage like slow-mo action footage me playing badminton like testing wireless
36:37
earbuds well I don't know whenever okay Brandon's down Brandon's
36:42
down so we're totally doing it um what are we talking about are you ready to do
36:46
your thing uh no are you ever going to be ready to do your thing yes not on the
36:51
show today though
36:54
probably probably I I just gave you like every possible conditional answer but
36:59
they were actually accurate not ready right now I will be ready at some point
37:03
probably on this show so our relationship is complicated as your
37:06
friend I could slap you yep as your Tech
37:11
employer I can't slap you so wait as your lover I shouldn't slap you but
37:16
maybe but could if you were into it yeah
37:20
um so I'm just so I'm slapping myself oh wow say if you wait 4 minutes we won't
37:26
technically be on work time but we're still on work premises yes so and and I
37:33
mean we could do stuff anywhere that's true so I gota speaking of which I got
37:38
to get blinds for my
37:42
office justes make lunchtime that much better I am finally moving into my
37:46
office I have set up the mineral oil computer much to Luke's sadness that was
37:51
this really depressing that was the saddest acknowledgement of anything
37:55
ever cuz he straight up ass he was like
37:59
can I have the oil PC for my workstation
38:02
like right when we built it yeah and then also when we moved in here and
38:05
probably a few times in between there and so my initial response was maybe
38:09
we'll use it as like a set piece or something cuz it's super cool looking
38:12
and then it just sat on the oven in the kitchen Gathering dust and dust sits in
38:17
the oil and then it can cycle into the system oh for literally months for
38:21
literally months and then finally he moved in and he asked me again and I was
38:25
like no I'm using it it and his world
38:28
was crushed and I could tell and it was
38:32
good no it wasn't it wasn't good cuz
38:35
there there were there I don't know it's
38:38
it's one of those things where it's like the CEO's office I think should have
38:43
like the show piece technically if we want to go with like new age companies
38:48
the CEO should probably be on the floor with the other employees because it
38:52
creates a better more healthy work environment see what you're doing hiding
38:57
yourself in the top Corner giving yourself a private office is more
39:01
archaic old forms of running companies
39:04
not really efficient for today's uh management structures okay which are
39:08
actually more flat than your vertical structure about putting yourself on the
39:13
top and maybe naming the company after yourself it's more of an Antiquated
39:16
system it's not really recommended for starting new companies but I guess you
39:20
know you could do that so this is the same guy that needs me to build him like
39:26
a fortress of solit upstairs because he finds having one person or because even
39:31
though we've been here for months the library isn't ready one person or that
39:35
one person in in the room with him is is too much I can't focus I need my own
39:40
room and I need active noise cancelling headphones didn't require my own room
39:44
wanted to do it in the public library needed noise cancelling headphones
39:48
Public Library is not ready the library actually is pretty much ready to go it
39:51
needs to be cleaned yeah been told to not work in there so it needs to be tid
39:55
up we're almost we're almost ready to go we're almost ready to go in there uh so
40:00
why don't we move on to an actual news topic here North America is out of ipv4
40:06
addresses and I know that you've been tied up on something else and you
40:09
haven't had a ton of time to uh to dock it up here so why don't I do The quick
40:13
summary and then you can talk a little bit about the implications of this so
40:17
there it is for really real this time um there's been an awful lot of crying wolf
40:22
on this subject over the years you know oh well we're out of the one that can be
40:28
assigned to the assignment Authority or we're out of the ones that can be
40:33
pre-allocated except in circumstances where we could allocate some more and no
40:38
no it is happening and it is time for
40:44
everyone to start switching to
40:47
IPv6 now we've actually talked about this on Techquickie before and the
40:52
complicated thing here is that ipv4 and
40:55
IPv6 so ipv4 is that up to 12-digit
40:59
number okay with periods every usually
41:02
three digits okay and IPv6 is like alpha
41:07
numeric and longer and while ipv4 can
41:10
have something along lines of I believe it's four billion addresses IPv6 can
41:15
literally have enough addresses for like 340 unilan yeah so it's something along
41:21
the lines of one followed by 36 zeros so I think that's something along the lines
41:25
of 2 IPv6 addresses for every Square in
41:29
of Earth or something like that like it's it's it's ludicrous okay someone's
41:35
telling me it's more than that so the the point is that we need to switch but
41:39
the problem is that if your website for
41:43
example uh Linus medag group.com is not
41:48
IPv6 then IPv6 clients can have trouble
41:52
and if your website is not backwards compatible with ipv4 then ipv4 clients
41:58
can have trouble accessing your IPv6 website they're not they don't talk to
42:02
each other very well and there are like
42:06
interposer methods but they suck yeah so
42:11
there's not honestly a ton that you're going to have to worry about if you're
42:15
watching this show I can basically guarantee you your router is able to
42:19
handle IPv6
42:23
um just going to kind of leave it at that and there's not really a ton else
42:26
you to do if again if you're watching this show it's basically a guarantee
42:31
that your computer is ready for this yes and that your network is ready for this
42:34
most smartphones are ready for this um the the issue is really on the on the
42:39
website server side and on the internet service provider side again most of
42:45
those are going to be fun and there are a few things that you're going to have
42:48
to learn like um you know if you're working on your Lan you're probably
42:52
using ipv4 addresses you know 192.168 or
42:56
1020 do whatever um so you're probably
43:00
going to want to switch to IPv6 addresses which means there's going to be a bit of a learning curve there I
43:05
haven't actually a lot more annoying to remember yes like which sucks way more
43:10
annoying to remember yep the good news is that if they have a lot of zeros in
43:13
them you can actually shorten them and you don't have to remember the zeros so
43:18
that will help a little bit I guess um
43:23
and and you don't have to deal with subnetting anymore so
43:28
okay although
43:32
255.255.255.0 is pretty not hard to which usually autop populates like every
43:37
time not that big deal like every time
43:41
yeah it does and unless you're doing more unless you're kind of like a
43:44
networking guy or gal you're really not working with anything more complicated
43:49
than that anyway but it's coming for networking people this might change
43:54
things up tell me this are we ready for IPv6
43:58
uh we might need to change a few things but it won't be a problem at all okay
44:03
well there you go our like websites and stuff are fine cool yeah like internally
44:07
if you want to start managing things as IPv6 you'll maybe need to change things
44:11
right but everything else is fine this is cool I just got confirmation I am
44:15
getting a review sample of the new Moto 360 yay it looks nice it does look
44:20
really nice at Austin yeah it's a 60-day unit so I'll have to send it back if I
44:24
even if I really like it I'll just have to buy one but uh you know it looks nice
44:29
I think Austin gets to keepy P yeah I'm I'm sure I'm sure he does um it looks
44:33
nice yeah I know it looks nice but it
44:37
might be too nice for me um I actually like the kind of sportswatch look of the
44:43
gatr so I I may not want to switch
44:46
anyway and I'm really going to have to uh I'm really going to have to look
44:51
closely at what significant difference
44:55
there really is from this Android Weare
44:58
device to another one because as far as I can tell no one has really done with
45:02
Android Weare what they've done with Android where they try to enhance the
45:07
experience For Better or For Worse um so to me it really seems like up till now
45:14
um oh up until now one Android we watch is
45:20
kind of an Android Weare watch and you know what I probably won't be doing it
45:23
until after I do the Apple watch again anyway because uh watch OS 2 just
45:28
dropped and I will be doing an iPhone 6s review so I'll be using those two
45:33
devices together in the
45:38
meantime Nick is Nick is giving me updates which is which is totally the
45:44
most professional thing for the onscreen talent to be doing in the middle of a
45:47
video podcast but I'm getting close to my thing doesn't the Show look great I
45:52
think it looks great I think you look great I think you look great I think we
45:57
both look great and check this out I had so many people whining about the uh the
46:01
plosives that I have installed a pop filter so the audio should actually be
46:06
better this week too now I did run around before the show and try to find
46:10
my ARM mount um so that we could have a
46:13
suspension mount for the microphone for now we're settling with a folded up
46:17
t-shirt under it but but that'll come that'll come eventually we are finally
46:23
in what I believe will be the W Show's forever home
46:27
this computer needs to be reformatted yeah but this equipment actually see we
46:32
even we even put a sticker on get a desk that's not as gross I kind of like it
46:38
cuz the background's kind of gross too oh but we can change it I kind of want
46:43
like screen has far too much real estate as well yeah okay yeah we can tweak
46:47
things my head gets chopped off by the logo that was always me you just your
46:53
head got chopped off my head was my head always had the logo on it really yeah
46:57
couch oh yeah I totally did that seems silly yeah I don't know well either way
47:02
we shouldn't probably have the screen taking up that more space Oh Why were
47:05
these rejected but it's all right reason too boring who who determines whether
47:10
news is boring or not that's pretty boring I'm doing that you know what
47:13
you're boring you're boring wow okay
47:16
sponsors linda.com a huge shout out to
47:19
linda.com for sponsoring the W show um
47:23
and you know what this actually is only semi- related to linda.com um but my
47:28
wife was talking to me because I actually brought this up on the W show it's something I talk to my wife about a
47:31
fair bit and that is limiting screen time for my kids okay um and she kind of
47:36
goes well hold on a second like my son actually he's three and he
47:43
is almost reading like he can actually
47:47
read fairly simple words that he's never seen before yes okay so at his pre-
47:52
preschool orientation the teacher said that she had a student once that knew
47:58
the entire alphabet so my son has known the entire
48:03
alphabet and all of the phonetic letters of the and and all the phonetic sounds
48:06
of the letters since he was two and that is a in huge part thanks to YouTube
48:13
YouTube is a great teaching tool and I
48:16
like to sleep in I was going to say like M mind games on the DS or um there's
48:22
tons of teaching math blaster going back to my childhood yeah so that's how this
48:27
ties into Linda anyway so I'm I'm getting there so she basically goes well
48:31
hold on a second so like you talk a lot about the importance of programming and
48:37
3D modeling skills in the new world and
48:40
I go yes and she goes well so what are you just going to stunt his growth and I
48:45
kind of go no one he's three and I really think
48:52
three-year-olds don't necessarily need to be working on those skills yet he
48:57
could start when he's four or five or six I think at the age he's at right now
49:02
he needs to learn other things like my my son doesn't have trouble sitting
49:05
still I don't need him to learn how to sit still it's actually like he's like
49:10
military trained he's it's really impressive if you're like you know
49:15
little man sit there do this for a bit
49:19
he goes he sits he does to then unlock him yeah so I I want him working on you
49:25
know going to stay in play which is a local program where you just go and like
49:30
run around and throw balls with other kids and and stuff like that those are
49:33
the skills that he needs to work on right now and and it's one of those
49:37
things where there is no hard and fast rule you have to tailor the approach
49:41
depending on the kid and I don't think he needs a ton of screen time right now
49:45
period but that doesn't mean that I
49:49
don't want him because he's going to he's going to hit kindergarten already
49:53
knowing probably up to multiplication and division like he's a smart kid and
49:59
so kindergarten is going to be a super duper waste of his time so when he comes
50:03
home I don't expect him to do his you know yellow plus blue equals green
50:07
homework that's stupid he's he knows that stuff already um I expect him to be
50:13
working on computer skills yeah and
50:16
honestly I have fallen behind I have spent the last 10 years of my life
50:21
working on product management and business and uh online content creation
50:28
and it's not like I don't have technology skills but Luke can attest to
50:33
this I am embarrassing when it comes to
50:37
any kind of programming like I can barely bold and unbold something yeah in
50:44
a text editor okay I can but barely um
50:49
like I'm can't claim much
50:53
either but yeah but you went to school for it at least like you know yeah but
50:57
like the games changed a bit and like a lot of what I went to school for where I
51:02
like wasn't working full-time with you and not really going to school as much
51:06
as I should have maybe been um was a
51:09
little bit more Antiquated stuff that no one's really using anymore so I do want
51:14
him working on that stuff and it's a great opportunity this is one of the
51:17
things that a lot of parents do is it's like this is my second crack at learning
51:22
this stuff with my kids cuz it'll keep us talking the same language
51:27
and it'll be an opportunity for me to bond with my kid which I have to do
51:31
anyway and pick up some new skills while I'm at it so this finally ties in to
51:36
linda.com a great resource for learning things online whether it's programming
51:41
or uh video editing skills or what's cool about this is say say you were
51:46
deciding to give your kid x amount of time to learn whatever he wants but he
51:51
has to learn something on the computer he could go on Linda and look up so much
51:55
stuff yep and go on his own pace and do whatever he could download them onto his
51:59
phone or whatever he wanted watch it or he could even do the like kitty boo
52:02
version you know kids first 3D modeling
52:05
program and if I'm trying to follow
52:09
along with him I'll have a deep enough understanding that I can help him with
52:13
these things as well like that's what I really want because I look at the
52:17
curriculum at least here in Canada anyway and it seems like we're really
52:21
falling behind you know there's nothing in the news about Canadian schools
52:25
looking at introducing programming um to young kids and and it and it feels like
52:30
this is the kind of thing that they did a good job with our generation I learned
52:34
how to use a spreadsheet and how to use you know office applications and how to
52:39
use a printer like skills that we take for granted now not because they
52:43
happened by Magic but because they freaking covered it we had access to the
52:48
equipment like my wife was like oh this school is getting a 3D printer seems
52:52
expensive I'm like well yeah how much do you think the computer lab cost it your
52:56
element school so much right because
53:00
sponsoring entire schools at that point I know and there's and and that is a
53:05
thing but that doesn't mean they didn't spend anything on it it doesn't mean they didn't spend the resources on
53:10
hiring or training the teachers to be to be covering this stuff and did they do a
53:14
perfect job no but it's better than nothing and at least you like Inspire
53:18
the kids and then they can go home or go somewhere else and learn from there cuz
53:22
like I know a lot of people that as long as they're introduced to a topic if they're truly that interested they can
53:26
go the rest of the way and they kind of have to yeah and that's how you're going
53:30
to get really good at anything so anyway linda.com is going to be my tool to keep
53:36
in touch I guess with with what my kids are up to it starts at only $25 a month
53:41
and you can get a 10-day free trial at linda.com when show you can learn all
53:45
kinds of great stuff and I guess that's that's pretty much all I have to say
53:48
about that that was the longest sponsor spot we've ever done what are you doing
53:52
the watermark is gone oh oh yes the watermark is gone during the spor SP
53:56
spots that's so weird cuz I didn't put it in so learn to deal our second
54:01
sponsor today is one that I sincerely
54:05
hope I get to experience with my kids
54:08
someday well not not both of
54:12
them well um I guess there are things
54:16
that girls can shave but like their legs
54:19
like their legs I but in the context of my children I really don't like I'm not
54:24
going it's a fatherson thing shaving the
54:27
face I got it it's nothing to do with daughters if they're going to shave
54:31
their legs they I don't they learn that on their own oh no they learn that kind
54:35
of crap with their girlfriends right I don't why why are you asking me I don't
54:39
know like I would ask the ladies in the audience to tell me like you know their
54:45
mom I don't know do mom and daughter get together and like shave their legs you
54:50
can show her how to shave like her Shin Shin wear shorts yeah I don't know man
54:55
um anyway way without getting into too
54:58
much I wouldn't be surprised if it's like hey mom my my dress is catching on
55:02
my shin hair I don't know dress my do you even
55:10
know any females oh no not really my dress is
55:14
catching on my shin hair not really no I don't let's move on can we update Harry
55:19
Potter's uh speech bubble
55:23
my probably we need like a Ron Weasley
55:26
it's not a dress it's a robe or like a Hermione we should we should get the
55:30
whole team and just speech bubble all of them and they can just mock me all the
55:33
time they're expensive really that was like 60
55:37
bucks yeah it was completely unreasonable it's just cardboard I know
55:42
it's probably a licensing thing though like probably $30 as it goes toing yeah
55:49
that's definitely the movie asset yes
55:52
thing like that's on a poster somewhere so anyway these are the worst sponsor
55:56
spots we've ever done but or the best whatever the point is Dollar Shave Club
56:02
I want to use Dollar Shave Club razors to shave with my son because they're
56:07
high quality they're affordable and they ship them directly to your door once a
56:12
month you know what Dollar Shave Club needs okay okay okay this is a
56:17
suggestion I hope Dollar Shave Club is watching this because they've got a lot
56:21
of great products they've got the razors they've got the After Shave they've got
56:25
the um they've got the shav butter uh and they've got the one wipe Charlies so
56:29
you can clean up the look of your face you can clean up the smell of your face
56:34
you can clean up both the look and smell of your butthole but what you can't what
56:39
you can't maintain with Dollar Shave Club and what I would argue is just as
56:44
important if not more so to have delivered monthly your armpits Dollar
56:50
Shave Club needs to add deodorant to their Arsenal because there should be no
56:56
no excuse for smelling bad and that's what Dollar Shave Club is all about you
57:00
don't have to leave the house to look like you're presentable enough to leave
57:04
the house they you know one wipe Charlies yes they need to make it like
57:07
one armpit D smeller Charlie that could
57:11
even work if you keep it in the car or something and then you're like crap I
57:14
forgot yes You' be like all right well this date isn't going to fail I got this
57:18
like a sponge bath Charlie or something like that anyway the point is
57:24
dollarshaveclub.com join the club if you always want to look presentable and
57:28
always shave with a fresh razor to so you can do a good job and all that all
57:32
that kind of stuff and it's affordable and they deliver it to your house and
57:36
stuff all right so we've got probably a fair bit more to talk about on the show
57:40
here today even though technically like it's quarter after 6 but we did start
57:45
pretty late not like I have anything to do this is a pretty big
57:49
deal it's okay keep going that's not really funny um oh just keep going
57:57
so I've had a lot of comments and or
58:00
I've seen a lot of comments about people calling acitech remember they were the
58:04
original lclc the lowcost liquid cooler
58:09
the best name before yeah I know before they partnered with everyone Under the
58:13
Sun uh you know Corsair and uh um and
58:17
zxt and like all these guys to co-brand their lclc product and I've had a lot of
58:23
people running around calling acitech a patent troll for protecting their
58:29
intellectual property in the US their idea their patent of putting a pump on a
58:35
CPU block this is not trolling so it has now
58:39
been upheld they got pretty roughly ripped off they did like a lot they did
58:44
and and it didn't happen right away but
58:48
now that it's happening they are pretty aggressively going after first it was
58:51
coolit and now it is Cooler Master and
58:55
they are seeking actually uh first it was uh first it was
58:58
coolit then it was swifttech and now it's Cooler Master or whatever the order
59:01
it happened in I don't care so they are seeking damages for people ripping off
59:08
their idea and their design and now it has been confirmed so not just once but
59:14
twice at isch has won their patent
59:17
infringement case against CMI a
59:20
subsidiary of Cooler Master so the first time around they were awarded a 14.5 %
59:26
royalty rate on every infringing Cooler Master product being sold CMI demanded a
59:32
judgment as a matter of Law and a new trial and they have now been awarded
59:38
enhanced damages of 25.3 75% per unit so
59:43
for all revenues on infringing products starting January 1st 2015 it is still
59:49
appealable by CMI but I really got to wonder if they're going to go back for
59:53
more at this point do I
59:57
like that this patent doesn't allow
60:00
anyone to put a pump on a block and this isn't the US to be clear like in Canada
60:05
these products are still for sale um do
60:09
I like that not really it does stifle
60:14
Innovation do I believe that there was a
60:17
ton of innovation to be done in the all-in-one liquid
60:21
cooler not really the performance hasn't
60:25
really changed dramatically in The Last 5 Years how big is your radiator if we
60:30
had a product that worked fine and was a
60:33
reasonable price and acitech was selling it and they were making their margin and
60:38
corser was rebranding it and they were making their margin and and we had an
60:42
ecosystem that kind of worked and it was you know the consumers were happy to pay
60:46
that price um does anyone benefit from
60:50
someone coming in and doing
60:53
something very similar
60:58
uh and infringing someone else's
61:01
patent I don't I I don't know that that is getting into some pretty uh that is
61:07
getting and like to be clear like there
61:10
is there is sort of there is similar and then there is very similar and I can't
61:15
find the link now unfortunately but uh I
61:18
saw an internal shot of uh one of cooler
61:21
Masters uh CPU block SL pump combo units
61:25
and Ace text and wow is the construction
61:29
really close because the reality of it is in software you can go closed Source
61:35
okay in uh chip design you can not
61:40
really show people you know how it all
61:43
how it's all working you can hide a lot of Special Sauce but physical products
61:48
patents are the only thing that protects it it's the only thing that prevents you
61:52
know someone from saying oh hey that's pretty cool I'll just make that exact
61:56
thing yeah yay now I have it and also it's cheaper because I didn't have to do
62:01
any R&D work I didn't have to lay the groundwork for the acceptance of this
62:05
product because that was a real thing I was around when the lclc first launched
62:11
I was one of the first people to order them and not order one personally but to
62:16
order them for stock I sat in the NC
62:19
warehouse for days and took bulk orders
62:23
of LCL LC's and and repackaged them into
62:28
boxes I had to like cut the packing material to size I had to I had to
62:32
baggie all the mounting screws cuz it was it was designed for oems and system
62:36
integrators and I I turned the lclc into
62:39
a retail product before anyone
62:42
else I was there and I know that the
62:46
beginning wasn't smooth it wasn't always as simple as hey we'll bring this
62:50
product to Market and a bajillion people will buy it asch invested in making this
62:55
a viable product category and Cooler Master didn't at
63:01
least not then and not certainly not to the same extent so I get it um but I
63:07
mean it does it does suck that you know
63:10
it's like competition is good and I'm not saying competition is ever bad I I'm
63:15
just saying there's another side to the coin and it does look like the court was
63:19
right in this case I do not consider acch to be a patent troll especially
63:24
because the technology that they're patenting is something that they're
63:27
actively selling and have as far as I've been able to tell been somewhat
63:31
reasonable about so it's not like you can't buy it they're not just it's not
63:36
like that [ __ ] that happened to Puget systems where some guy yeah wow
63:42
some guy patented something to do with
63:45
mineral oil submers submersion computers
63:49
and then basically prevented pet systems from being able to sell their kit right
63:53
around the time that we did our mineral oil build blog that was [ __ ] because
63:59
that company is not selling it it was not a viable business idea that they had
64:03
in the first place they went under and now they're just sitting around being a
64:06
patent troll as being a troll literally
64:10
one person like no one else was doing
64:13
this and it was a very small passion project thing they weren't really Mak
64:16
money money no like I like man the call
64:20
that I had with was so depressing he was
64:24
just like yeah so bad news we your last
64:28
video is going up that's cool that's great we actually cannot sell these
64:32
anymore so
64:35
yeah rip like you know this is something we've been working on for like eight
64:39
years or whatever just cuz we think done a really good job on it they're the
64:43
reason why I got into it I saw one of their really early systems possibly
64:47
their first one at PA way back in the day and was like what the hell is that I
64:52
even remember very specifically grabbing the display cable and tracing it with my
64:57
hand to like make sure that it was actually doing what I thought it was
65:00
because I didn't believe it at all and then talk to the dude for like a while
65:04
and then was totally super interested and then went did my own thing and like
65:09
yeah so I'm pretty buddies with them a million a million views on uh on YouTube
65:15
of your rig that you built based on that encounter yeah yeah 1.1 million there it
65:20
is so this is for those of you who haven't seen it oh no sorry no 1.1
65:24
million is our project yeah yeah um the
65:27
poor yeah of course that's going to be the uh that's going to be the one um so
65:31
no but still that's almost a million views and that's back in the day too so
65:35
this is Luke's rig that he built based on that cool encounter with uh P buy
65:40
like the same fish tank that they did I found it at freaking PetSmart near my
65:44
parents house like this was super cool
65:47
and like hella inspired by them I just couldn't pay the uh import duties over
65:52
the Border yeah it is expensive yeah so so like it's it's a lot of exactly what
65:57
they did to be completely honest um yeah
66:01
I so yeah it's it's lame for anyone who
66:04
whose name is Cooler Master yep um you
66:07
know but let's see yeah this is this is kind of scary it could impact the fury X
66:13
yeah uh because those are using in an infringing design with the pump and
66:16
block integrated so it's going to be an interesting little bit uh doesn't look
66:21
like ek's new design infringes on it
66:24
because it integrates the pump into the radiator which hurts case compatibility
66:28
so I can understand why not everyone does it but there you go all right next
66:34
up this is going to be cool for the uh for the film equipment Buffs Red's new
66:41
Raven camera will start at $6,000 and shoot 4K up to 120 frames per
66:51
second now I'm going to run through a few things here that are pretty to so it
66:56
uses the dragon sensor so this is by far
67:00
the lowest cost you've been able to get at a dragon sensor um it's available
67:04
with an EF Mount so you can use your Canon lenses cool it takes Mini Mags
67:09
which are their um their proprietary media very expensive which I guess is
67:13
leading into how things are starting for
67:16
things it has a nice lightweight construction it's it's relatively small
67:20
the uh it's got the same body as the weapon all the weapon modules work it
67:24
has built-in Wi-Fi it has a built-in microphone which is useful for audio
67:29
syncing if nothing else even if it's not going to be like a good quality one but
67:33
this uh this no Film School sub headline here is the gotcha here while the body
67:39
is $6,000 the way that red sells their
67:43
bodies and I'm going to see if I can find a picture of the body here and that yeah there it is the way that red sells
67:48
their bodies is with nothing on it this
67:52
has no display it has no
67:56
uh actual on camera buttons to control
67:59
it it has no um XLR audio input I kind
68:05
of love it like it's just so absurd it
68:09
love it nothing it is and for someone like Brandon who really loves doing
68:15
these really intricate configurations of things I'm sure he would love that yes
68:19
but there are certain things that should really be on the camera no I'm not
68:23
trying to get into his head buying a red don't about that yeah well I don't think
68:27
I don't think Brandon even wants one hey Brandon do you even want a
68:32
raven not our he says not for our stuff
68:37
cuz there's a lot there's a lot of there's a lot of issues like it's it's
68:41
cool that it can record um prores which is which is awesome but there's the fact
68:47
that you're locked into this proprietary media the fact that once you've bought into the red ecosystem you've got all
68:52
these accessories and like batteries and all this stuff that's just straight up
68:58
not useful for other things necessarily
69:01
um and it looks like it's going to cost you at least 10 grand to get started as
69:06
opposed to six grand and and realistically if you want to add some of
69:10
the modules that you're probably going to need um you're looking at closer to
69:15
$155,000 so it's it's not actually that
69:19
competitive with some of the newer cameras out from the likes of uh of Sony
69:23
for example red but it's red uh but it's
69:26
red and it's the cheapest we've seen from them yet for a flagship sensor like
69:31
that is an impressive sensor I think it's something like 15 and a half stops
69:34
of dynamic range I want to say and like sorry 16 thank you Brandon when your
69:39
when your storage device gets full you can ask if anyone has any spare
69:44
mags okay I know you don't know about camera stuff and that's fine but zip it
69:50
what no that's they're called Mini Mags I know I know I literally said an
69:55
accurate statement I know but you're just trolling me
70:00
yes I didn't even say anything wrong you're a dick so this is cool it does
70:04
1080p at up to 240 frames per second so
70:07
what I like about this camera is that at least this starts to put some heat on
70:12
the other guys to come up with a competitor for the fs700 we've had an
70:16
fs700 for almost three years now yeah and there is still literally nothing
70:21
else that is an obvious direct successor to that camera because there are other
70:26
ones like the a7r series that do really great low light um there's other there's
70:31
the oh man there's there's cameras with better on camera storage now that's a
70:36
big thing uh cfast is the new industry standard and is going to be way better
70:41
than the fs700 only has SD cards you have to have an external recorder to use
70:47
ssds um there's stuff like way more
70:50
stops of dynamic range and this is happening from Black Magic from Sony
70:53
from from a lot of different but the fs700 is is has been almost
70:59
unique in its ability to record 240 FPS
71:03
slow-mo now continuously with the third
71:06
party external recorder and just for a lot of the just the balance of features
71:11
that it has has been difficult to touch for a long time and uh it's it's finally
71:16
happening and I hope this continues to light fires under the butts of uh of the
71:21
other camera makers out there speaking of other camera makers black magic is
71:25
send us an Ursa mini and Brandon will be doing for the first time a camera review
71:32
so stay tuned for that because uh I know
71:35
he is pretty stoked on it he's I'm I believe he's going to do a great job I
71:39
believe in you Brandon um man there's a lot of stuff
71:45
that I would really like to do pretty quickly here um I don't know did you
71:51
send out a tweet I think around five I want to say around five oh uh why don't
71:56
we just do everything left as like rapid fire topics it's okay so here do you
72:00
want to do the first one here I've read nothing okay AMD preparing dual GPU
72:04
Radeon R9 Fury X2 world's fastest graphics card so uh original article
72:10
there sorry I have two mice in front of me so it's hard to remember which is which you know how I'm always kind of
72:15
salty about SLI or Crossfire on the show
72:18
yes you know how I recently started uh
72:21
sing 980s yeah did you know the day that
72:25
I hooked that up I had a huge drawn out
72:29
problem that was unfixable for 24 hours was it related to
72:33
SLI I hooked my 980s together just
72:37
before a stream started playing games and stuff and was like okay cool this
72:41
was my 24-hour charity stream started playing games everything worked fine I
72:44
was performing really well I was like great this is awesome everything's working maybe maybe I'm too salty about
72:48
this stuff I remember specifically thinking maybe I'm too hard on SLI and
72:53
it is better now and Crossfire not while you're streaming not really a
72:58
thing has a huge problem with it so tons
73:01
of games I couldn't properly play rip and the thing was I was doing a
73:07
24-hour charity stream I know total biscuit runs
73:12
s does he live stream while he's running SLI I don't know a lot of the guys that
73:16
maybe I was doing something wrong I know a lot of the guys seus I don't know if
73:20
he has lies okay interesting I was apparently people were talking
73:24
apparently I don't I don't know there's there's might be ways around it there might be I
73:29
don't know all I know was it was a problem for me and I couldn't change or fix those things because I couldn't stop
73:33
or restart the stream right I was doing a 24-hour charity stream so there might
73:37
have been some fix that I could have ran uh something I don't know and we've run
73:42
into some other dual GP related issues too um without giving away anything I
73:48
will say no I can't give away no no no no no
73:51
don't say anything don't say anything about it a lot of these guys are using
73:55
capture boxes that are then streaming right right so it wouldn't matter which
73:59
is an option yeah and then it wouldn't matter um okay well actually one thing I
74:02
can say about it though is an issue that I have particularly with AMD's
74:06
implementation of Crossfire is that you actually can't turn it off on a dual GPU
74:13
card you can't just you can't just turn it off there is a tool I forget what
74:16
it's called Catalyst Pro or radon Pro or something like that where I think you
74:20
can force it off but even that is not necessarily a perfect solution
74:25
uh Seagate has come out and said this actually happened a couple of weeks ago
74:29
but I I just liked it so much that I wanted to do it ssds will never match
74:34
the per Gigabyte costs of hard
74:39
drives okay well we'll see um so he's
74:43
saying something something dollar per Gigabyte in the upper to 20 to one and
74:47
something um hard drives match the performance of ssds no they won't but
74:52
that's not the point necessarily wow um so interest yeah so I guess there's not
74:57
really much else to say about that I just wanted to I just wanted to document
75:01
that that was said as thoroughly as possible because statement
75:05
yeah much
75:10
confident Oculus VR is getting Twitch streaming soon what Netflix
75:16
today uh and I believe this article is from yesterday so yesterday um so yeah
75:21
they're going to set up like check this out you're going to have like a cool
75:24
this is is actually Hulu but you're going to have like a cool little theater
75:27
you can sit in and it'll be like a virtual theater experience that is some
75:32
ba stuff right there so Oculus owners
75:35
have a lot to look forward to when they become Oculus owners yeah um 4chan was
75:42
sold to the creator of two channel
75:46
so uh in in in a series of events that
75:50
was completely unsurprising to everyone
75:53
uh forchan got attacked through like an imer exploit and like because the
75:58
forchan community like the thing happened DS all
76:05
the things yeah um so there you go uh
76:10
foran was apparently struggling to be profitable even though they tried a
76:14
subscription offering and minor advertising and all that kind of stuff so I get it uh Nintendo joins the Kronos
76:20
Group ads running right now somewhere on
76:24
our stream oh it's probably on one of the sites
76:27
that we're loading so let me kill them all it better not be twitch it is not
76:33
twitch I'm killing all the ads there we go all right Nintendo has joined Kronos
76:37
group as a contributor member so these are was like a pretty lwd ad actually oh
76:44
really yeah oh sorry some Team
76:49
America okay well let's move on um so
76:53
these are the guys that are maintaining open GL and Vulcan which valve has uh
76:59
gone all fighting words about and said direct X12 doesn't matter unless you're
77:04
like deeply into your direct X12 game development now you should just probably
77:10
never touch it and you should just go Vulcan because directx12 doesn't matter
77:15
and they have some very good points about uh directx12 being Windows 10
77:20
exclusive which was such a mistake I understand that they would have had to
77:23
do a bunch of work but like oh and I
77:27
understand that Windows 10 is a free upgrade for seven and eight owners but
77:31
like Vulcan is going to work uh across a
77:34
lot of different platforms not even just Windows so uh would you roll back would
77:39
I roll back to Windows 7 from 10 I need to not lean backwards
77:44
yeah would you roll back to Windows 7 and use Vulcan no because you can use Vulcan on
77:49
10 I know I know but would you rather use seven no okay no I I I actually like
77:53
10 I like the new start menu yeah new start menu is actually great I actually
77:57
really like the new start menu um so
78:01
anyway Nintendo joined which is cool I guess
78:07
uh blah blah blah blah blah blah uh this
78:11
is from wfx an Oregon couple trying to resolve a
78:15
$2 million Verizon cell phone bill
78:22
lol uh what else we got
78:26
um this is this is really funny the iPhone 6s put through its Paces in
78:32
geekbench uh the dual core 6s obliterates the Galaxy S6 Note 5 and
78:37
other top Android phones in performance testing apparently and we've even got
78:41
some folks running around saying how it's amazing how comparable it is to the
78:45
2015 MacBook actually what's amazing is
78:49
how the 2015 MacBook manages to run at literally half the performance that it
78:54
could if it wasn't thermal throttling all over the
78:57
place yes I mean it is still amazing but like the fact that the MacBook is
79:03
essentially a tablet in terms of the form factor like in terms of where they
79:08
actually stuffed the computer okay so so think about that for a second the fact
79:12
that Apple has been releasing tablets that perform you know somewhat better
79:17
than their phones for years now that are also tablets and also in that form
79:21
factor and the fact that the MacBook is performing literally half as well as
79:25
that Intel chip is capable of because it's not adequately cooled so no yes the
79:31
iPhone 6s does look like a whiz Banger
79:34
of a performer and a and a wicked phone upgrade a whiz Banger of a performer
79:39
whatever um but that the fact that it's
79:42
on par with the MacBook is not um the
79:46
fact that the Mac it has nothing to do with the iPhone 6s being amazing it has
79:51
to do with the MacBook kind of being a dog so just throwing that out there you
79:55
guys I have Doom Gloom news oh we're
79:59
ready is it oh kind of ready okay um all
80:03

80:07
Afterparty and tell people from the wow to stick around it's up to you okay
80:12

80:16
