all right guys it's a special
0:06
oh it's a special uh technical technical
0:09
difficulties ready are you all right it's a special
0:15
Halloween episode of the land show cap badass yeah I'm the Caped badass well if
0:20
you need to cover your face like that why wouldn't you just have a scarp scarf
0:24
why would you have AAR because I have a cape it's it's not
0:29
for conceal are you going to fight like you can
0:33
that's so stupid you don't want to get punched in the mouth do
0:37
you I think I think Jane would beat up the Caped bad okay we should probably
0:41
both explain our costume so uh the Caped badass fights crime basically he ran out
0:47
of time tattooed arms grabbed stuff out of a costume closet and was like sure
0:52
how know this exactly what I did and
0:56
wears a cape in green and purple to
1:00
symbolize his badassness Ninja Turtles do something
1:03
can did you notice that it smells no I have owned this cape since kind of smell
1:08
here hold on I have actually it just smells like old though it doesn't smell
1:13
bad I have owned this cape which goes down to kind of my thighs since I was
1:18
small enough that it touched the ground when I walked wow yep I have owned this
1:22
for like 20 years oh you can tell by like the the threading and stuff at the
1:26
top wow it's like it's like it's pretty
1:29
old but uh it has served me well through
1:33
many Halloweens and uh I forget where I
1:36
was going with this right so that's the history of my what what are you supposed
1:40
to be lonus has never seen Firefly or Serenity so I'm Jane um from Firefly
1:45
really you bring a weapon on my show yeah man that's not all I also have a
1:53
grenade that probably sounds amazing wow
1:56
the kinds of explosions that that grenade will set off
2:02
so I have a gun and a grenade and I have my Jam's hat and I have a brown coat so
2:08
there's yeah there's some symbolism that you wouldn't understand but it's there
2:11
all right so we've got a great show for you guys today I don't know what the topics are cuz I forgot my laptop I'm
2:15
going to go get those while we roll the intro ah yes Tesla is in trouble again
2:20
not because they did anything wrong but because other people are basically
2:25
buttholes um also 18 core xeons are on
2:29
the way so prepare your buttholes because that is going to be pretty
2:34
fantastic I mean we're already blown away with the kind of performance we're
2:37
getting from our 12 core zeeon well that's like six more cores than a 12
2:42
core zeeon oh yeah oh yeah baby Alienware GPU Graphics amplifiers we'll
2:47
explain what exactly that is later Graphics amplifier and unsurprisingly
2:51
yet again an Ubisoft developer doesn't understand extremely basic concepts and
2:55
opens his mouth about it we're not even going to give any more information than
2:58
that but we'll talk about it really is there anything else for us to even say
3:03
is there really that should just be a pull a permanent bullet point and then
3:06
we can just swap out the word Ubisoft for whatever game developers is being
3:10
stupid yeah and the name and like what title they're working
3:14
on all right intro time
3:39
and our sponsors today are 54 club which
3:44
if I knew where the thing was ah yes there we go 54 club and we're going to
3:48
have an offer for you today that hopefully I will actually get right and
3:54
as well as Dollar Shave Club booop shave
3:57
time and shave money by having high quality razors deliver directly to your
4:01
door rather than going to the store and
4:04
paying too much for them for some reason because paying too much for things is
4:09
good on the L show we like paying too much for things oh wait that's not our
4:13
principal at all both our sponsors today are about spending less money and less
4:16
time on things that's interesting that is actually kind of interesting spending
4:22
so you don't have to leave your house our sponsors today you can be groomed
4:26
and look good when you do yeah so you don't have to like go out there and do
4:30
anything but if you really need to you can leave the house in style so you'll
4:34
always look good because you never have
4:38
to go out to retrieve supplies to look good you'll look good without planning
4:42
you never have to do that like chores or errands look yeah where it's like all
4:46
crap yeah it's like actually I'm in my PJs with like I just do that permanently
4:51
though yeah so that's a sad thing okay well I'm
4:54
going to let you do the first topic here because I need to go get my laptop
4:58
because I forgot it so super ready for the show today caped badass
5:03
away
5:09
ow I'm sorry he tripped on his headphone
5:12
cable when he was trying to leave the room and like actually fell over while
5:16
doing the Caped badass thing which was absolutely perfect sorry that was that
5:19
was really funny anyways Tesla runs into trouble again as we were talking about
5:22
earlier the US government is giving GM and other manufacturers and automakers
5:27
in general preferential treatment which is quite
5:30
um they're doing that because they're setting a law in I believe Michigan yeah
5:34
where you have to sell your car through an independent dealership you can't do
5:37
the showroom thing that Tesla likes doing we've been talking about this kind
5:42
of stuff all over the states for a long time um but but this is more a targeted
5:47
experience so the Michigan law forbids having galleries like I was just
5:51
discussing and Michigan customers would still be able to buy the vehicles online
5:56
or travel out of state to a corporate owned store out of state which I think
6:01
is ridiculously silly you don't want them to be able to go to a gallery
6:05
showroom where they would actually at least be able to sit in and see the car
6:10
before buying it but you're totally okay with them buying it
6:13
online what that makes no sense at all
6:18
like there's like the the the the
6:21
independent dealership part al already doesn't make sense because I hate
6:24
dealing with independent dealerships every single time I have to which has
6:28
been once but still um it suck I've done
6:32
it too and it sucked for me too so that's a sample size of at least two oh
6:36
man absolutely fantastic this is definitely all the sample size you would
6:41
need for running an actual study of these things I mean the issue is that I
6:44
I like I get independent dealerships when they have a specific value ad yes
6:50
beyond what the manufacturer is able to do for some reason but if the
6:55
manufacturer chooses not to work through an independent dealership then that be
6:59
fine that should be their right you shouldn't you shouldn't mandate
7:04
middlemen if you could do that you should be able to mandate out Apple
7:07
Stores I mean the merchant the merchant class sprung up because their entire job
7:14
was to facilitate the movement of goods
7:17
from one place to another so they were actually they you you would actually get
7:22
you know silk from here and then you would take it over there and you would
7:26
sell the silk and you would buy gems and you take it over there Buy Low sell High
7:29
the whole you know being a merchant thing moving it around yeah being a
7:33
merchant isn't about sitting on your butt in one place with the regulatory
7:39
bodies just telling you telling telling
7:42
consumers and telling manufacturers that they all have to go be routed through
7:47
you so you can take a cut like how does that how does that make any sense how
7:51
does that help us progress how does the rest of the world not completely leave
7:56
the us behind in the Dark Ages I I don't
7:59
understand like I would I would understand way more if say Tesla was like an non-american company I don't
8:05
care where they're from if they were just a non-american company in general so these laws were to try to help
8:09
American companies Tesla is an American company they manufacture in the states
8:14
you're barring uh a company that manufactures their cars in the states
8:19
against companies that you're not barring which in a lot of cases
8:24
don't which is so stupid a lot of cars are manufactured in Mexico I don't know
8:28
a ton about car manufacturing but um I know that there's a lot of cars
8:32
manufactured in Mexico that are not going to have to go through the Hoops
8:35
that Tesla has to go through and they're manufacturing designing everything in
8:39
the States they're even making their batteries in the States they're planning on putting that battery manufacturing
8:43
plant in Nevada so like what are you trying to accomplish here this is a new
8:47
really exciting company that's coming out of the states um and it's like
8:51
they're determined to make them not want to stay there yeah like I I think the
8:56
only reason why they're staying there is cuz like Elon likes the state
9:01
so kind of does as he pleases doesn't he yeah he pretty much does all right have
9:05
we already talked about Apple versus retailers the waron NFC payment
9:09
technology so Apple pay is not exactly
9:13
revolutionary or groundbreaking I mean Google wallet's been available for
9:17
something like four years yeah or something like that but I don't think
9:21
it's been super widely used no no it hasn't been super widely used it hasn't
9:26
been super widely publicized it's one of those things where Google introduced the
9:30
tech and basically went yeah use it or don't or whatever yeah and and that's
9:34
and that's fine but Apple pay pretty much just for those of you who aren't
9:38
familiar uses an NFC chip in the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus in order to enable and I
9:43
think uh the new iPads also really also
9:46
have it as well yeah trying to pay with this giant iPad could be wrong about
9:50
that one I hope I'm wrong about that one cuz that's going to that's going to be a
9:53
whole new level of pad hole like you can
9:57
take your pictures of your food in the restaurant iPad selfie yeah yeah and
10:01
like iPad tap to pay you you could take your selfie with your iPhone as you pay
10:05
with your iPad just to show how stupid it is that would be fantastic ah so so
10:10
anyway so it's it uses the NFC chip unfortunately for what is the least
10:14
useful thing possible for me because Apple pay isn't even rolled out in
10:17
Canada there is no timeline for Canada and I really wish we were able to do
10:20
simple things like file file trans and stuff like that um but no no apple needs
10:25
to forge their own path don't they so so basically uses your NFC chip at those
10:30
same terminals that if you're in an enlightened country like Australia of
10:35
all places for some reason is like way ahead of the rest of the world on this
10:38
stuff allows you to Simply tap your device authenticate using a a pin code
10:43
or your touch ID even and then pay for something with a debit or credit card
10:48
without ever actually giving the retailer access to those credit card
10:53
numbers or anything like that so that huge Target breach that huge Home Depot
10:58
breach we're talking 40 and 56 million
11:01
customer credit cards that were compromised in each of those ones
11:05
respectively if I have those numbers correct don't quote me on that there
11:09
there would be no potential for that if you used Apple pay for everything
11:12
because the idea is that it actually stores the information in the same place
11:15
on the phone as your touch ID information which is not sent to Apple
11:20
servers very freaking cool stuff of course you have to register the bank
11:24
accounts and credit cards and all that but the point is the idea is that it
11:28
will be more secure and app's taking a fairly small cut on top of what uh a
11:34
credit card would already be taking I
11:37
think it's shoot now this is this is a detail that I actually forget um I think
11:43
it's 0.15% I'm not sure Apple pay fee 0.15
11:49
I'm going to try searching for that yeah apple gets 0.15% cut of the purchase so
11:55
actually they're not trying to go and be
11:58
a credit card with credit card like margins I mean often credit cards are in
12:02
the three plus% range range I hope you
12:05
guys realize that when you buy something with a credit card every retailer in the
12:09
world that accepts credit cards is basically just increasing their prices
12:13
by three and a half 4 and a half% in order to compensate for that because
12:16
they take those rewards that you get that are from that air miles cash back
12:22
they're just giving you back some of what they already took from you the reason why they're pushing people to use
12:27
credit cards and giving them these reward programs is cuz they skim money off it all the time y it's not even
12:32
necessarily because of the interest they get from you not paying it because you
12:35
don't understand compound interest but so anyway Apple's pitch to the banks in
12:39
the States was look we're going to increase security we're going to reduce credit card fraud which should reduce
12:44
your insurance premiums because every time someone fraudulently uses your
12:48
credit card to buy a Hummer either kind of course anytime
12:54
yeah I went there anytime someone uses your credit card to make some kind of a
12:57
purchase and that item doesn't get tracked down and
13:01
returned well somebody has to pay for that and because of credit card fraud
13:05
prevention and the way that most credit card issuers will protect the consumer
13:10
you're going to get a refund As Long as You Follow the proper steps in order to
13:14
report that stuff so someone has to pay for that so if Apple kind of goes well look any of our customers who use your
13:20
card through Apple pay will reduce the potential for fraudulent use making life
13:25
easier for you guys well hey that's worth the 0.15% isn't it we're making
13:28
life better for everyone well retailers are butt hurt
13:34
now apparently which is pretty
13:37
frustrating to me and it looks like even though we're not getting uh we're not
13:42
getting statements from companies like CVS and Right Aid in the US that have
13:47
stopped accepting Apple pay I mean we're talking some retailers you actually
13:52
Apple pay was working yeah and then they stopped was working and then they shut
13:56
it off yeah and it will you'll get an error message on the on the cashier you
14:00
can actually see the error message it says Apple pay not supported or something like that and they're not
14:05
issuing statements necessarily but the speculation is that they're developing
14:09
their own NFC payment software in order
14:12
to save the 2 to 3% per transaction that
14:15
they would normally have to pay to now apple plus a credit card company or bank
14:19
or whatever else the case may be um I
14:24
mean normally I'm not a huge fan of any
14:27
kind of proprietary standard but the thing about Apple's proprietary standard
14:32
here is all you really have to do is give them a fee that is going to save
14:37
you money and effort in the in the big picture in order to manage this this
14:42
system that really anyone as long as they cooperate can bu wouldn't you have
14:46
to pay the Apple fee and the credit card fee m so wouldn't it not save you money
14:50
in the future wouldn't it cost you not for the retailer yes but the retailer
14:55
should be more concerned about the customer experience in my mind the
14:59
retailer is going to want to be as appealing as possible I mean I I forget
15:04
what the number is but I think they've got over a million people activated on
15:08
Apple pay already like massive massive
15:12
numbers so if you're if you're a retailer and you kind of sit there and
15:16
go oh well gee I guess I want 3% of the
15:20
population who are evidently all interested in this easier more secure
15:24
way to pay for things I guess I want them to not shop at my store because I'd
15:29
rather release my own competing standard I mean at least the thing about Apple is
15:34
that their standard will not help a
15:38
direct unless you directly compete with the Apple Store their standard paying
15:43
Apple to use it will not directly help a competitor whereas if we have every
15:47
Pharmacy chain and every clothing chain
15:51
coming up with their own NFC payment systems that you have to have your own
15:54
app and you have to enter the payment information and you have to have separate management tools well that is
15:59
much more fragmented than even Apple's still relatively closed Garden system I
16:05
I don't know if it's actually going to stop people from shopping at certain stores CU I'm sure they'll still carry
16:09
their debit or Andor credit cards with them so I don't know if it'll actually
16:13
stop them at least yet but it could be a future thing where you want to stop
16:17
carrying Cards entirely when a lot more stores are picking it up and a lot more
16:21
people are using this type of Technology that's exactly what we want okay so two
16:24
things first of all I disagree I think that for certain people for Tekken
16:28
enthusiasts who are like into that they
16:32
will look if it's if it's like I'm standing here and there's Walgreens and
16:37
there's CVS and one of them takes Apple pay and one of them doesn't I think the
16:41
tech geek and me goes I'm going to go to Walgreens really yeah for sure why not I
16:46
could not give a crap the pricing is basically similar so so let's say all
16:50
other things equal they both carry you know XL size condom the kind I
16:55
need right so it doesn't matter which one I go into
16:59
ohz I'll be safe either way okay I love
17:03
how it's not like brand or reliability it's just like sizing yeah my gun just
17:08
fell out that was pretty good timing your gun fell out did it make did it
17:12
leave a mess in your pouch there yeah it's yeah this show is awful yeah
17:17
speaking of this show is awful my mom watched the mineral oil video oh yeah
17:20
and was like oh it was so awesome and stuff didn't bring up like the endless
17:24
amount of inuendos it's like thanks Mom I mean you
17:29
know what here I I want to hear I want to hear from you guys let's let's do a
17:33
Twitter blitz so hit me at would it would it change your purchasing decision
17:37
would it change your purchasing decision and let's not let's not lock it into
17:40
Apple pay I don't want this to be about Apple pay necessarily I want this to be
17:43
about more more Progressive payment Technologies so let's say the shop
17:48
supports Google wallet or Apple pay or some kind of cool touchless smartphone
17:53
enabled payment technology that that you care about I just see my thing is um I
17:58
care care less like I still think it's cool but I care less about that than
18:03
other metrics now if if it's going with what you're saying where the stores are
18:07
exactly identical yeah other than the NFC pay thing like sure I'll go there um
18:12
but like the the the the store I buy video games from because I really like
18:17
that store and I want to be able to support them because they're cool um I'm
18:21
not going to stop going there because they don't have an NFC payment system
18:25
cuz they probably wouldn't be the first ones to adopt that CU they're this
18:28
little store and changing things like their debit machines is probably not
18:32
something they're super worried about so this might come down to more like 5
18:36
years from now eight years from now when everyone has NFC payment systems but
18:40
it's going to come down on the debit machines that you buy right so it's
18:44
going to come down to do they support the system that you use most in your
18:48
daily life like if you're a Google Wallet user or you're a you know Apple
18:53
pay user do you go to the one that supports the one that you generally use
18:58
or do you do you go to the one that's a pain in the butt because they have their
19:02
own stupid proprietary thing so as it happens the retailers um that that we
19:06
were talking about are members of the of MCX and they're working on their own
19:12
mobile payment system current C haha
19:15
currency get it but modern currency actually I think it's kind of clever
19:18
which is in beta and expected to launch next year requires you to scan a barcode
19:23
though there's like a QR code involved as well I think in order to make
19:26
payments and it's something that's been proven is not not being as secure as
19:29
nearfield communication and other encrypted technologies that are used by
19:32
Apple pay and Google Wallet so here we go uh Twitter Blitz
19:39
time Apple pay and Google Wallet are just Niche services so they can tick off
19:43
boxes on their marketing PayPal should be introduced first interesting point I
19:48
would I would use PayPal yeah I would I would use a PayPal
19:52
app to pay for things yeah I would I would probably be interest I generally like PayPal I I think it should have
19:56
been making more progress in last few years um it feels like PayPal had such
20:02
an opportunity to do a Bitcoin type thing where they or something or
20:06
something like there there was room for Innovation there um Elon the guy who
20:12
like co- started it or whatever has has publicly talked about how they've been
20:15
kind of disappointing right lately okay a little off topic but if a store
20:20
supports Google Wallet will they automatically support Apple pay in some
20:23
cases yes Apple pay was just working
20:26
even though they weren't on Apple's list of retailers actually the ones we're
20:30
talking about are great examples of that and the funny thing about these guys is
20:34
they've also turned off Google Wallet at the same time even though Google
20:38
wallet's been working now for years wow yeah um okay honestly no one can hack
20:44
cash so that's what I use well there are other issues with cash you can hack cash
20:49
in real life you know like where's that gun in that crowbar that gun that
20:53
crowbar do we look like people who could hack
20:56
cash hack your cash bro we need a shirt
20:59
we do cash hackers have grenade too cash hackers just cuz it makes no
21:06
sense anyways um if if your credit card's stolen they can reverse a lot of
21:11
the charges that happened on it if your cash is stolen you're screw your cash is
21:16
just gone yeah uh that's actually in line with Josh's comment here cash is
21:19
always going to be there no I don't care about any of them
21:24
because no one accepts them here good point and it's the same in Canada but we
21:27
should still look to this technology as an indication of what's coming in the
21:32
future um I would go to the store that supports the technology because I want
21:36
to spread the tech and make it more pervasive and that is a very that's always a thing that's a compelling
21:40
reason to do that's a voting with your wallet that's like literally V your
21:44
wallet your Google wallet or voting with your pay your Apple
21:50
pay see this is even more badass fist bump because it's got the cat sleeves
21:54
and the Jack anyway um name here
21:59
it would totally sway my choice not really in O it is 50/50 to get paywave
22:04
as it is when they do have it is so much easier yeah so paywave is their NFC
22:08
thing I think we call it pay pass here in Canada yeah but never works and every
22:12
single deit machine you see has little sticker on it pay pass not working or
22:16
something if I had it I would use it like a boss um S Oliver says cash or
22:21
cards are obsolete but NFC payments are still too scary or sketchy to me
22:24
although I know how they work very interesting we should probably do a fastest Possible episode on NFC payments
22:29
probably just try and cut through some of the garbage information that's out
22:32
there about it yes all else being equal I would go to the place with the more
22:37
Progressive payment style says joou uh Josh says nope it's just another
22:42
iteration of something like PayPal or Bitcoin which is not really anything
22:46
actually it's not really anything like PayPal or Bitcoin because you're still
22:50
just using your debit account or your credit account it's just another way of
22:54
accessing it without a card electronically hi Jack
22:58
would you oh everything else being equal sure I'd take the store that makes
23:02
buying things easier I mean I think the web here we're g to uh we're going to D
23:07
Twitter Blitz ify this here I think the web has proven that look at Amazon's
23:11
model do they have the lowest price not
23:14
necessarily EAS to deal with in fact a lot of the times they don't why are they
23:18
so big because they make shopping easy
23:22
and brainless they have everything and you can order with one click and their
23:27
customer services like very well known everywhere yep talked about widely and
23:32
you don't have to do any thinking you don't have to think about oh how much is
23:36
the shipping going to cost and you don't usually have to worry about it being late usually more often than not they're
23:40
early if it has to be late or early they're usually early I had I had a
23:44
shipment that was supposed to show up in like I think it was 7 to 10 business
23:47
days and it was there the next day I like what that that to me is is the
23:53
biggest thing that retailers should be looking at if they're trying to decide
23:56
should we support Apple pay or Google wallet or MCX is upcoming standard or
24:01
whatever else and the answer should be
24:04
yes because you want your store to be easy to shop at that being said Amazon
24:10
doesn't accept Paypal Amazon doesn't accept Paypal which is actually
24:13
continues to be a frustration for me and if someone were to rise up and be
24:18
otherwise equal to Amazon in every other way I would choose the one that takes
24:21
PayPal person what's that what's that thing from the Wall-E movie buy and buy
24:25
and large byy and large I'm waiting for Costco to go etail cuz I just have a
24:31
feeling that would be aw bad I love Costco I'd be down for Costco etail all
24:35
right so our next actually have we called out the people who posted these
24:39
on the Forum okay so that was LJ LJ K
24:43
snow that posted the Apple versus retailers topic and Victorious secret
24:47
that posted the Tesla one and our original articles were from finance.
24:51
yahoo.com and washingtonpost.com so let
24:55
let's move on to some good news some exciting news this was posted by X XA
24:59
CRA on the Forum the original article here is from Digi times and this looks
25:05
freaking awesome when I heard the announcement for this I'm not even going
25:08
to say what it is yet but when I heard the announcement for this I assumed it was coming way further in the future
25:12
than it is I didn't expect quarter 2 2015 according to digi times now this is
25:19
rumor there's no content from it comment
25:22
not content comment from Intel yet yeah Intel won't say anything about it
25:26
apparently as we said in the like topic call out the 18 core Zeon E7 V3 Haswell
25:34
D3 is coming so do we have more videos on
25:39
edel's processor coming don't we uh yes we do so the whole room water cooling
25:43
Loop thing we'll talk about temperatures and stuff a little bit and we have a
25:47
video upcoming where we got our hands on 128 gig kit of RAM and edel's actually
25:53
spent most of this week benchmarking various numbers of cores and ious
25:58
amounts of RAM in Premiere and after effects to have a look at where the
26:02
sweet spot is for processing course and RAM and how those relate to each other
26:07
so that should be a really cool video for Content creators there we go my
26:11
screen sharing so this one's actually the article on kit Guru but this bad boy a
26:17
Zeon E7 V3 Haswell ex chip with 18
26:24
hyperthreaded cores quad Channel ddr4
26:28
memory support integrated PCI Express 3.0 and rumored according to digi times
26:34
to be available in Q2 2015 however the digi Times article is
26:40
down and this one specifically says Intel is not commenting on it so I
26:43
wonder if interesting uh I wonder if our link to the digi times one is bad for
26:48
some reason or whatever else is happening yeah so I I don't know there
26:52
isn't a ton of groundbreaking stuff here other than the fact that it has a but
26:56
ton of cores yeah there's not really a lot else going on other than that we're
26:59
talking like a Nicki Minaj worth of course yeah yeah yeah Anaconda wants
27:05
some of that does it well CPU course not really Nicki Minaj she's a little old
27:09
for me is she yeah how old is she she's
27:13
like I think she nothing well into her 30s or something oh Nikki I don't even
27:18
know how to spell her name oops Nicki Minaj
27:21
age she's 31 oh never mind okay she's not as old as I thought she was never
27:25
mind she would still be an older lady for me though Cougar
27:30
Town uh that I'm married I guess that
27:33
might be an issue so okay this is this is not this is not a tech topic but uh
27:38
one of my one of my old co-workers got
27:41
married didn't tell me didn't have any ceremony has no ring went to the
27:46
courthouse because uh he lives in
27:50
Toronto and he and his his now wife I
27:54
guess both work in the IT industry and they were both in Vancouver on travel
27:58
and when you're in Toronto I think it's like an 8we process to get a civil union
28:03
marriage certificate thing and when you're in Vancouver I think it's 3 weeks
28:07
to get everything pushed through and make it official so while they were here
28:10
they were they're trying to move to the US and I think she has a green card and
28:16
he doesn't or something and citizenship or whatever so they they had to contact
28:21
someone they contacted you so what no no no no no no no he was just telling me he
28:24
got married oh by the way I got married I'm like thanks for the invitation to
28:27
your your wedding jackass and he was like well there wasn't a wedding or a
28:31
honeymoon our honeymoon was like we drove down to to Seattle and both met
28:36
with clients and I'm just like no you're
28:39
terrible you're a bad person so anyway apparently they they they just
28:44
spontaneously and it was her idea apparently she was just like oh hey
28:47
we're both in Vancouver we should probably get that marriage thing
28:52
done so that everything goes through more quickly and he's like yeah I guess
28:56
I should go to London drugs and like get the paperwork
28:59
form I can you imagine if you could find
29:03
a lady who is so pragmatic that you could get away with something like that
29:08
that's that's probably who I'm going to is that your dream lady yeah probably I
29:11
don't I I don't know where I don't know where you find these ladies cuz I mean
29:15
okay my wife is pretty practical and she's pretty down to Earth but she
29:19
wanted a wedding man she wanted a wedding she wanted a ring Big Ring big
29:25
wedding honeymoon you don't get out of
29:28
that stuff I don't know I don't know how you pulled this off I don't know as
29:33
Generations get younger weddings and rings and stuff are slowly becoming less
29:36
and less of a thing uh marriage is even becoming less
29:40
and less of a thing this isn't a tech topic we should probably move on all
29:44
right so Apple watch OS running on an
29:47
iPhone is this is kind of a speculative article from uh 9 to5 Mac actually did a
29:53
really great job of this was this was originally posted on the Forum by Deo 26
29:58
so let's go ahead and pop this up and I love this article one quick thing it's
30:04
not Apple watch OS yeah it's not at all
30:07
we're talking slightly thank you we're not talking about Apple watch OS running
30:11
on iPhones in the future we're talking about the the the UI design with the
30:17
apps being just kind of in this this kind of scatter array versus the Tidy
30:24
less dense grid we're talking about that potentially coming to the iPhone I was
30:31
amazed at how well this worked this is brilliant because this is what I was in
30:37
my iPhone 6 review my biggest criticism
30:40
of the phone was the way that Apple just
30:45
didn't innovate when they had to they
30:49
should they should have ios8 should have
30:53
come with this already so I'm still going to be critical even if they do
30:56
roll this out because the device has outgrown the way that Apple expects you
31:01
to interact with it the the app ecosystem I back when the and this
31:05
article does a great job great article on 9 to5 Mac because when the app when
31:08
the iPhone first launched with iPhone OS which is what we used to call it there
31:14
weren't really many third party apps you didn't need to organize things into
31:18
folders there there wasn't that much to do and because every phone could be
31:22
operated one-handed by most people stuff
31:26
that you you know High priority stuff could automatically go to the top left
31:30
corner and you could actually reach that but nowadays it's the bottom right to
31:33
center of the screen that's actually easiest to access and I love what
31:37
they've done here now I I don't even necessarily like this because you've
31:40
seen how I use things my my desktop on my phone is blank um not even kidding my
31:46
default like the first page you go to on my phone is blank my desktop on all of
31:50
my computers are uh view do not show
31:53
icons so that I have no icons including no recycle bin because I don't like any
31:58
being there um I like extremely clean
32:01
for all of my devices so this looks incredibly messy to me and I don't want
32:05
it but I think it's extremely cool that it exists because I do know a lot of
32:09
people that will want it and it opens the door to other various themes and
32:14
maybe slight adaptations of this whole idea which is actually really cool and
32:18
how well it works how you can zoom out to see the whole picture and then jump to a different area can make navigation
32:23
really fast y much faster than swiping
32:26
three pages or even pages over and then going into a
32:30
folder a horrible combination going over a few pages then going into a folder
32:35
would take forever when you can just tap in between some of the icons which will
32:39
Zoom it all the way out and then tap on an icon which will Zoom it in and then
32:42
tap on the icon again which will open the actual app and the the article makes
32:46
some great Arguments for how easy this would be to to adopt like folders
32:51
wouldn't have to go away it could just work like this icons wouldn't even
32:54
necessarily have to be redesigned oh yeah and they they make the same complaint about Apple's stupid
32:59
accessibility double tap thing that I did where it's like what what is that
33:03
that's just the clgi thing ever and they even looked at this and went well hold on a second what if we just take
33:07
existing icons now and make them all circles actually it kind of looks like
33:13
you don't have to change much doesn't it no no like not at all loving it that's
33:18
cool I would really like to see this happen which what I'm assuming this is
33:21
some travel thing that one doesn't look super great but the most of the other
33:25
ones look fine some of them don't work particularly well but the reality of it
33:29
is is app developers are going to have to have a round icon anyway if they want
33:34
their app to show up on on the watch so
33:38
I guess why don't we just all move to I wonder if when the watch launches will
33:45
get like kind of because I I can't imagine iOS has operated exactly the
33:50
same way for like 7even years now okay you got your grid maybe you get more
33:55
rows maybe you get folders maybe they're
33:59
slightly larger icons but basically you swipe left and right you access the
34:02
icons and you press the thing and open the app um for them to change something
34:06
this fundamental I would okay two two
34:10
two ways of looking at this number one is I think they kind of have to allow
34:15
people to use classic navigation or new
34:18
navigation yeah why not themes are a thing that's that's one thing I really
34:22
liked about this is just having options is going to be good but number two is I
34:26
think if Apple can validate internally that this is
34:31
legitimately better and faster in every way I hope that they have the coonies to
34:34
just force everyone to switch to it because that's what Apple does they
34:38
figure out what's better for you whether you like it or not and they put it in
34:41
front of you and make you use it and that's how they innovate one of the
34:45
biggest reasons why I've never wanted iPhones though is the fact that I don't
34:49
think you can have a blank default screen no I don't think you can yeah and
34:54
I really like that yeah there's there's even stuff that you can't delete from
34:57
the that comes straight from Apple like a lot of it and stuff that not everyone
35:01
needs like bookstand yeah yeah yeah yeah exactly so like how I like using mine is
35:05
I just go into the app View Window every time essentially I just press the app
35:09
button at the bottom of Android and then that opens up my viewer and then I use
35:12
it kind of like an iPhone viewer right or you just flip pages and I know where
35:16
everything is I used to do that I've started being more of a home screen user
35:20
um but I I I I have some alternate screens that have things on them that
35:24
aren't my home screen so if I swipe left once or right once there's some there
35:28
I I actually unless I'm on an HTC device
35:31
and I have blink feed so I'll keep that on the left but then other than blink
35:35
feed I go one home screen yeah so that way it does a couple of things number
35:39
one is it means that I'm never navigating between home screens so I only use folders and then I'll have
35:44
quite large folders for all the main stuff that I do and then number two it
35:48
means that that whole Android Behavior where whenever you install a new app it
35:51
dumps it on one of your home screens if you only have one home screen and you
35:55
delete all of your other ones it just says it's full and then leaves it in the
35:58
tray there you go so I have to manually add something to my desktop if I
36:03
actually want to have it so that's that's why I do it that way yeah uh
36:06
Jared gumowski asks us not to make fun of Nicki Minaj she's my ba okay J what
36:12
does that mean I have no idea I think if he adds an e then it means in some form
36:17
of relationship but I'm not super down with the kids lingo right now so I might
36:22
be wrong kid lingo you're like what 23 ba I'm almost 24 had enough your crap
36:28
now people know how old I am all right posted no one knew before I'm sorry no
36:31
one knew how old I was before they didn't well now they do okay so posted
36:35
originally by benediction on the Forum this is freaking awesome Ana Richard
36:41
Noble the gentleman behind the last two
36:45
land speed records in 1983 and 1997 is
36:49
spearheading a project called bloodtown SSC it's been in the works for 30 years
36:55
already and we are not talking like speed of sound you know like that's
37:01
that's wussy that's like that's like your dad's land speed record we're
37:06
talking a, miles an hour and this
37:10
article on wired is fantastic here's the view inside the cockpit I mean is that
37:15
so epic Tesla could learn a thing or two about futuristic car design right there
37:20
those also look fake as hell no no this is not fake this is this is it those
37:25
look like like they were p there in okay
37:29
so to augment the digital ones in case they fail these are state-ofthe-art
37:34
Rolex analog meters yeah yeah yeah dog
37:38
that's so badass so the brake pedal only works at 200 mph or
37:44
less and beyond that there's like a complicated set of like air brakes and
37:49
hydraulics and all that kind of crap to slow it down they have a pilot driving
37:53
it yeah so this is the this is the pilot right here uh his name is Andy green and
37:57
he was actually uh he actually piloted I
38:01
think it was uh the last one I thought he's a I think
38:07
he flies planes as well yeah yeah yeah he flies planes as well and what's cool
38:11
about about you know sort of his involvement with the project is that the
38:15
cockpit of the of the car can we even call it a car I guess sort of a car
38:20
rocket car rocket land rocket sure I don't know the cockpit of the car is
38:24
actually specially shaped to his body
38:27
wow so like he's the guy he's going to drive it that's it that's all there is
38:32
don't get fat in the next couple months yeah or two years or whatever dude do
38:36
not put on some weight because you will compromise the whole project yeah um so
38:42
it's got a rollsroyce ej200 jet engine
38:46
taken out of a Euro Fighter um we're talking 120 DB of sound most of which
38:52
will be caused by shock waves um caused by the air running over the canopy of
38:56
the cockpit and into the jet engine intake and the shock waves
39:00
counterintuitively will slow down air as it passes over the car and this is to
39:04
ensure that the Air does not hit the jet engine at 1,000 mph in fact 1 meter
39:11
before the intake of the of the jet engine it slows down to 600 mph to
39:17
ensure that it's uh that it's not going to be
39:21
damaged that's crazy there's there's some stuff like the the salt I think
39:25
it's the Salt Flats where they driving it with the the flats that they're driving it on in general this one's
39:29
going to be in Africa yeah I know um but they're they're they're like laser
39:33
etching the the whole Runway that they're going to be driving the thing on
39:37
so that there will be nothing larger than a marble in the way because if he
39:40
drove over something with the aluminum like solid aluminum wheels yeah I think
39:46
they're going to be spinning with the same Force required to separate DNA from
39:51
cells yeah and what were they 200 lb aluminum wheels yeah I think so um if he
39:57
ran over something that large it it would feel like he was a bullet went
40:01
through his entire body speaking of bullets going through his entire body
40:05
the cockpit is reinforced so just in case you know a rock like this thing is
40:10
armored basically in case a rock goes flying or whatever else it's not going
40:13
to go in and kill him because yeah at that kind of speed it would definitely
40:18
you you would be done pretty exciting and to put 1,000 mph in perspective this
40:24
actually this was what drove it home for me me that is the length of three
40:30
football pitches per
40:34
second it's 400 and something me so um a
40:39
football pitch is I believe a little longer than an American football field
40:44
which is 100 yards so I'm sure someone's going to destroy
40:49
me in the comments for not knowing how long a football pitches but whatever the
40:53
point is three football pitches per second real I think someone someone in
40:59
the comments must have figured it out someone probably
41:03
onls someone will have converted to meters per second it's going to be here
41:07
come on oh 447 447 meters per second apparently
41:12
yeah or 1600 km there you go so so 447
41:16
m/ second unreal all right that's incredibly fast
41:21
oh yeah I never I think we never said the name of the uh so the vehicle is
41:25
called The Blood Hound SSC epic all right so let's talk about some
41:30
other high performance stuff here that's totally back to back to actual computers
41:35
people were laughing at you because you said football pitch why that's what
41:38
they're called I know I'm no I'm not going to
41:41
call it soccer it's not called soccer like one
41:47
small fraction of the world calls it soccer yes that's true but the origins
41:53
weren't from the states and the name of football is stupid here in the States
41:58
because you do not you used your foot a lot more when it was first started right
42:03
so what when they when they when they invented the game you lose you use your
42:07
foot a lot more right so then change the name I mean if if if baseball if they
42:13
remove the bases are they still if they remove the base of the
42:18
ball I mean they do kind of play ball
42:21
that's implied the Bas that's true that's true but if basketball if they
42:25
take away the baskets ring ball ring
42:28
ball you can't keep calling it basketball you can't call American and
42:33
soccer came from Association though it's not even an American thing I believe
42:36
it's from Oxford or something something like that either way where the sport is
42:40
not called soccer I refuse to call it soccer it is called football and
42:44
football in North America is called American football so that's it that's
42:49
how I'm going to do it and you guys can all deal with it because I am the Caped
42:56
badass I really feel like you need to have like a bandana over your face so
43:01
you don't have like this SM it's been in my attic it just yeah it just smells
43:04
like old forever yeah all right so let's move on to this topic posted by rock
43:09
with original articles from the verge.com and Gadget and Digital Trends
43:12
I'm mad at The Verge right now though so we're not bringing up their uh their
43:16
article they there is a really stupid piece on the verge right now about
43:20
gamergate like just phenomenally
43:23
stupid like the like the dumbest thing I've read since that don't do
43:29
that edgy come on it's a freaking it's
43:34
this I know anyway um him a duck yeah it's it's
43:41
it's the dumbest thing I've read since that uh that critique of um Shadow of
43:45
Mordor where you learn the sneak attack tactic by kissing your life that was so
43:51
dumb I remember who did that I didn't say it was dumber than that I said it
43:55
was the dumbest thing I've read since then since then okay all right so here's
43:59
the article on digitaltrends.com and they have a Hands-On of the Alienware
44:04
Graphics amplifier turbocharger laptop
44:08
with a desktop GPU Alienware now makes a
44:11
box for that so basically what this does is it connects via an unfortunately
44:16
proprietary cable so it only works with Al Alienware Laptops only works with
44:21
select Alienware Laptops even then which is sort of a bummer but basically it's a
44:25
power supply and a PCI Express slot inside let's see if they yep there we go
44:29
so it's a power supply and a PCI Express slot inside that um allows you to
44:35
basically have external PCI Express and
44:38
plug it into your laptop um I think the only models it works with right now are
44:43
ones that probably don't even really need an external graphics card for the
44:46
moment but if you want to be able to upgrade in the future then oh hold on
44:52
here we go the Alienware 13 will only ship with GeForce GTX 86 M uh Graphics
44:58
it's disappointing that the blah blah blah but that does give you more of a
45:02
reason to upgrade to the whatever the thing okay blah blah blah something
45:06
something something something whatever the thing super helpful information on
45:10
the stream blah blah blah yeah there's actually not a lot of info about it here
45:14
and I didn't do much reading about this um I'll be interested to see it's going
45:18
to be hard to like I wonder if you could spend a
45:22
while and find clock speeds for a mobile GPU and a desktop GPU that would be
45:26
comparable of performance and then test
45:29
what frame rates you can get having a GPU and a desktop machine and the GPU in
45:32
the laptop machine like you mean like benchmarking
45:36
mobile CPUs that way like try to Benchmark a mobile CPU and then clock
45:40
back your desktop CPU to try and find an equivalency and then once you found a
45:45
CPU level equivalency then bench the graphics card on each one and see what
45:49
the performance difference is you can play around with it a fair bit but the issue that I ran into when I was doing
45:54
my uh my 980 versus 980m video not that
45:57
long ago was that even though um motherboards do let you play around with
46:01
your CPU multiplier a fair bit many of them don't let you turn it down no turn
46:07
down the desktop one yeah they don't let you turn it down enough oh enough yeah
46:12
so you can turn it down a little bit but you can't turn it down enough to be
46:15
equivalent to a same architecture mobile CPU yeah we'd have to get a much older
46:19
architecture one I guess and so and once you're doing that it becomes an Apple
46:22
store just comparison so so that was the challenge that I ran into uh supports
46:27
any GPU up to 375 watts and works for now only with the Alienware 13 so that
46:32
one does have an 860m so hopefully I
46:35
guess that gives people a compelling reason to uh to buy one of these it
46:38
costs 300 bucks though so you'll pay you you have to buy a new laptop you have to
46:43
buy a graphics card and you have to buy 300 bucks for the privilege of using the
46:46
box and consider yeah considering how much like how long those boxes have
46:51
existed in various forms um and how much
46:54
is really going into that box it's pretty expensive I mean this standard
46:57
makes no sense until it runs on Thunderbolt so yeah and it will at some
47:02
point we will get Thunderbolt boxes that allow external gpus in fact the only
47:06
reason they don't work now is that AMD and NVIDIA haven't enabled it so all
47:11
alien wear's done here is they've exposed a direct PCI Express link
47:16
through a proprietary cable so that the GPU can't tell that it's you know in an
47:21
external box that's all they've done there's no reason that Thunderbolts
47:25
bandwidth couldn't support external G is just like sure whatever cool yeah so
47:30
they're just kind of hiding it from everybody yeah all right now I love I
47:35
love mechanical keyboards I love Cherry but this is I still don't think this
47:39
makes a ton of sense this is nuts originally posted by nagby on the Forum
47:43
I'll pull up the original article here the most redonkulous looking
47:47
laptop in a long time I can't say ever cuz there's some old school ones that
47:52
look absolutely hilarious but like what
47:57
I'm G let that sink in for a
48:01
moment so you know how I've talked about
48:04
this in the past how the way that technology is miniaturizing and power
48:08
consumption and heat output are going down not only enables smaller devices
48:14
but also devices that are the same size
48:18
where we pack all that Hardware into a small part of it and build in additional
48:22
functionality bigger batteries or whatever else the case may be this is
48:26
not what I had in mind no so you want to cover this one what is
48:32
this thing I don't okay so it's it's all all the main components for the laptop
48:35
go into that super uninteresting looking
48:39
other than the dragon I guess but like kind of useless area above the keyboard
48:43
I got to say this if they have to have a brushed aluminum panel that's where to
48:48
put it it's better to have it above the above the Palm rest rather than as the
48:53
Palm rest definitely they get points for that and that Dragon looks pretty cool
48:56
but still um that's a huge blank area which is essentially unusable I like
49:01
that they even move the buttons closer to the keyboard so like the the power
49:05
button is closer to the keyboard not at the top so again with the brush aluminum
49:09
thing you're probably not going to be dragging your fingers over it very often
49:12
but essentially the keyboard area is just Blank Space because the switches
49:15
and everything are so tall and you need the um electrical base for the keyboard
49:19
under that as well so that whole area is just the keyboard and then above that is
49:24
where the whole rest of your laptop goes and for those of you wondering well hold
49:28
on a second where's the touchpad ah yes MSI does have that taken care of they
49:33
have a touchpad over here on the right
49:36
yeah that also serves as a number pad if
49:39
you want to put it in so that's going to be a super weird place to have a
49:43
touchpad yeah I mean it didn't work for the razor blade nope it's not going to
49:47
work for this touchpad on the right is a bad idea because especially if you use
49:53
your touchpad two-handed like a lot of people do one hand for movement one hand
49:59
for clicking having it over on the right like that is actually pretty darn
50:05
inconvenient sup sorry don't worry about it talk about it later cool um yeah it's
50:10
just it's just silly and like uh just
50:14
leave I like the mechanical keyboards in there there's not a good way to
50:18
implement it and I don't think there is a good way to implement it I would
50:21
rather it was just a good laptop and I could just take one with me I'll just
50:25
take a 10 keyless with me okay hold on a second let's see if we can okay would
50:29
you prefer this design if the mechanical
50:32
keyboard was in the more traditional keyboard location at the top of the
50:36
laptop no I think I would why because if
50:41
you just have this giant blank space under do it no no because okay okay okay
50:44
hold on a second no I still don't okay so here here here here's a more
50:48
traditional laptop if they could put the
50:52
mechanical keyboard here and then they
50:55
used all all this space for internals
50:59
and they could keep the touchpad here would you would you tolerate kind of an
51:04
empty space here with a mechanical keyboard and all the guts here and then
51:08
just I mean basically all you would need is small pcbs down the sides for iio so
51:13
nothing really changed and then you would need wiring up to the screen like
51:16
would that have been a better way to do it well nothing really changed in that aspect yeah other than that there's a
51:20
mechanical keyboard in it with the added weight and added thickness that does
51:23
come with the territory I worry if there's maybe other issues with
51:29
that I don't really know what they could be like that it's just dumb overall or
51:34
maybe I don't know uh I don't actually make laptops I don't I don't feel like
51:38
it should be that big issue I you know I
51:41
tried to make a laptop it was a Friday it was raining
51:46
outside no um I was like well if Apple
51:49
can do it then that's probably fine probably not that hard I'm chane it's
51:54
all right um yeah I I don't know it should be fine I
51:59
I would have definitely preferred they did it that way the first thing I thought of when I saw this was why is
52:03
the keyboard there that makes no sense and then they're like space for hardware
52:07
and cooling um but yeah just move and
52:10
like I get it it's probably back exhaust yep rear so having the keyboard
52:15
in the way of that you'd have to have like side exhaust right which could get
52:21
in the way of IO but then I don't think anyone's really complaining that much
52:24
about having io on the back of the laptop yeah that's a good point rear iio I
52:29
would be I would be probably okay with that maybe if you had like like a few on
52:33
the side that the the keyboard is on not the blank side that you were talking
52:36
about you could have a couple like maybe one or two USB ports and that's it y
52:40
just so you don't have to run a ton of stuff there um and then have your iio at
52:44
the back and then exhaust out the sides that's probably fine you know I used to
52:47
use the the side exhaust on my bamboo to heat things
52:52
up I've got uh I'm just changing the T
52:56
I've got people in the twitch chat pointing out that if the entire um heat
53:01
if the heat generating components of a laptop bearing in mind that this is a gaming machine so we've got a
53:06
powerful it would be right under your touchpad however what I will point out
53:11
is that assus seems to have that problem
53:14
kicked because on their um on their 750
53:19
series and they're 751 both the bottom
53:23
and the top of the laptop are cool enough for you see yeah but this is this
53:28
is the thickest part of the laptop is at the back which is the best way to do it
53:32
and then they have big heat sinks here way to do yeah man at the back is the
53:37
okay you know what I think we should move on so our next topic here is the
53:41
Motorola Droid Turbo basically sorry I'm
53:44
I'm going to keep going for a sec basically having your heat sinks at the front would drastically decrease how big
53:49
they are yeah how be an issue unless we
53:53
unless we went with like the classic like brick Style laptop with no natural
53:58
you know angle angled design to it just you could you could use the rubber feed
54:02
on the bottom just rectangular prism
54:06
style yeah all right moving on to the
54:10
Motorola Droid Turbo is it the phone
54:14
that I was asking for a mere two weeks ago with two-day battery life they claim
54:19
it is we're talking up to 48 Hours battery life 8 hours of charge in 15
54:23
minutes with that new quick charging technology can't remember what it's
54:26
called at the moment but we're going to do it fast as possible on it later um then I'll hopefully remember got a 21
54:31
megapixel camera if you shoot in 4x3 or 15.5 megapixels if you sho in 16 by9 but
54:37
Pro tip for uh those of you out there who want to take the best possible
54:41
pictures just take a square picture and crop it later
54:46
um yeah yeah um f2.0 aperture so that's
54:52
a very wide open aperture uh it shoots 4K 24 FPS video 1080P 30fps and 720p
54:59
slowmo it's got a qualcom Snapdragon 805 processor with 2.7 gahz quad car and an
55:05
adreno 420
55:08
GPU you might say it has high
55:11
performance oh my god um 3 gigs of RAM
55:15
5.2 in that I should have 5.2 in 1440
55:18
piece AMOLED screen uh
55:22
3900 milliamp hour battery water resistant NFC 32 2 gig and 64 gig models
55:28
uh the back is made like fine woven materials and mono front ported speakers
55:33
so I don't like the mono do like the front Port I don't think anyone likes
55:37
the mono no no no it makes you real sick
55:40
um unfortunately sorry go ahead no keep
55:45
going oh this was posted by MC mad 358 on the Forum by the way thank you for
55:48
posting and there's articles from everywhere in the entire internet so why
55:53
don't we just pull up droidlife.com um un fortunately some of
55:59
the some of the um reports of the Droid
56:03
turbos real world battery life are not
56:06
well aligned with the 48h hour battery life claim
56:11
ooh that's super disappointing I actually didn't read that part um I I
56:16
really like their their web view thing
56:19
you can directly compare it against other phones which is pretty cool um I
56:23
don't remember I think that was on Motorola's actual website you could you
56:27
could uh pair up other phones to compare
56:30
it against and then it had a direct compare thing which is actually really helpful uh one thing I'm not impressed
56:34
with is they ditched the ring flash which they've been doing recently I
56:38
don't know why they did that why I bother I don't I don't get it
56:44
yeah there's a lot of Buzz around it I've requested a review unit but Motorola mostly ignores me these days so
56:50
I don't know we'll see maybe maybe we'll cover it maybe we won't yeah hopefully
56:54
that 48 hour thing is actually true yeah
56:58
I mean i' I still think that the thing
57:01
about Android is that if it gets bogged down enough you could have a 6,000
57:05
milliamp hour battery and you could still find a way to drain it in 8 hours that's true that's the problem with
57:10
Android that's true I've I've got a buddy that runs uh a lot of widgets and
57:14
stuff on his note what is it new one four Note 4 yeah um and almost Max Z his
57:20
round capacity idling right so like people can do that
57:25
for sure and he's not even doing a ton like it doesn't seem too ridiculous on
57:28
his phone and he's he's using that much of his RAM automatically which is pretty
57:34
intense um okay so hold on a second I
57:37
actually need this okay just a second so I think it
57:45
might be time for our sponsor time so
57:50
our first sponsor today is 54 clothing
57:54
I'm going to go ahead and actually see if I can get everything right I had it U
57:59
I had I made it Nick's job you should see how wrong you can get it I should
58:02
see how wrong I can get it yeah it doesn't seem to matter oh did you add a
58:06
Dollar Shave Club lower third anywhere uh yeah I think it's under that one it's
58:10
under that one okay pretty sure all right so 54 Club use offer code Linus 2
58:16
to get an extra item in your first package oh good so this is actually the
58:21
same offer that we had before so actually it's uh it's it's not that hard
58:25
so the way five 4 works is for $60 a
58:28
month and you can head over to um excuse me you can head over to their
58:34
website let's go ahead and just yay there we go okay I've got a picture of
58:37
the free item that you get so the way it works is for 60 bucks a month they have
58:42
one of their I'm going to make up the name for them because I never get
58:45
anything right for 54 anyway so I might as well just make things up as I go
58:49
along fashion they have one of their fashion
58:52
Artisans sure sure yeah pick out clothes for you based on a short survey that
58:57
takes just a couple minutes to fill out where you tell them uh some clothing
59:01
that you like you tell them your size you tell them some shoes that you like
59:06
you tell them sort of some stuff about you and they go ahead and they pick up
59:10
stuff that they think you're going to like they send it to you and you pay
59:14
half of what the sticker price would be on their website so you can actually
59:19
check it out over at 54.com they've actually got a surprising
59:24
number of like photos of like aist celebrities and
59:29
stuff who 54 because the whole idea behind it is that instead of going to
59:33
the store and feeling like you're being judged by all the sales associates
59:37
because you don't know what you're
59:42
doing the idea is that you should be able to look nice and be well dressed
59:47
without worrying about any of that stuff and without ever actually leaving your
59:50
home in your pajamas which is what you'll have to do
59:54
the first time if you ever want to actually update your wardrobe or every
59:57
time so the special offer with offer code lus 2 is to get that shirt that I
60:01
showed you guys before free in your first package along with your new
60:07
subscription so let's go ahead and show that again yay look at it great I should
60:12
get one of these actually I'm wearing a 54 shirt right now there you go look at
60:15
that I actually quite like this one so it's they not all of their stuff is like
60:20
54 logos all over the place either in fact um kind of funny story um you know
60:25
that shirt that I wear in my fastest possible videos everyone thinks it's
60:29
FaZe Clan no yeah everyone thinks it's
60:33
faas Clan no it's five it's a 54 shirt everyone's like it's it's amazing how
60:38
many comments I get on that shirt no when when I wear my 54 shirt everyone
60:41
says on Face Clan yeah yeah no no we actually just wear five4 shirts yeah not
60:47
Face Clan shirts all right which brings we have no
60:51
affiliates with Face Clan that would be cool but no which brings us to our
60:55
second sponsor today Dollar Shave Club
60:58
yet another service that's all about not looking like a hobo without actually
61:03
having to leave your house looking like a hobo while you shop for the supplies
61:07
to not make you look like a hobo a Dollar Shave Club is another
61:10
subscription based service this time it's all about bathroom supplies so you
61:16
can get their highquality razors their Dr Carver shave butter they're one wipe
61:21
Charlie peppermint scented butt wipes for men and you can actually get travel
61:25
SI sizes of the uh of the one wipe Charlie yeah onetime use packages
61:31
remember none of them are reusable though that's I wonder if that would
61:34
help in like countries where you have to buy toilet paper anyways yeah just car
61:38
when you have to go to the washroom you have to buy toilet paper whatever right I I I think there's countries like that
61:42
then yeah they just carry one white Charlies around with Charlies with you
61:46
so anyway the the point the point is to make your butt smell like peppermint no
61:51
wait that the point what am I even talking about I always try find some way
61:55
for like a apparently females use it more now and like now now it's a
61:59
traveling companion to countries where you have to buy toilet paper man I don't
62:03
I should be a marketing person for dollar sh for Dollar Shave Club all
62:06
right so speaking of marketing things for Dollar Shave Club today we are going
62:11
to be doing a live test of a Dollar
62:14
Shave Club razor versus a complete wow
62:17
this is the most generic razor ever I have shaving Benchmark yeah shaving
62:21
Benchmark so I actually had I had new Nick provide me with uh actually his
62:26
personal razor which he assures me is not his balls
62:29
razor because I am planning to put it on my face so okay this this is why you
62:35
need the service cuz you won't even go to the store to buy your own you have to
62:38
use another employees I know that's cuz Dollar Shave Club man I'm not going to
62:44
go buy razors that's stupid I mean okay it's
62:49
cheaper and it takes less time that's
62:53
the whole idea behind it I know it's just funny
62:56
like you needed a sample one but you wouldn't tell me this why weren't you
63:01
able to give me a non-dollar shave club Razer to try well now I use dollar sh
63:06
one okay we've all seen my old ones yeah
63:09
I know your old ones were terrible you shouldn't use those all right so half of
63:13
the face with Dollar Shave Club half of the face with the generic razor we're
63:17
going to start with the generic one just to see what kind of results we get out

65:21
known it was going to taste this bad I would have brought myself something good
65:25
to eat to compare it to something what
65:28
what would be the most comparable thing um it's about like have you ever um have
65:32
you ever eaten the stem of a
65:36
dandelion probably like a really long yeah like when you were a kid or
65:40
whatever just cuz you're an idiot like dandelion milk you know some kid tells

66:21
was something wrong yeah they're obviously never going to us
66:25
if we're in like some sort of bad situation if there's ever a fire I think
66:29
we can pretty much count on having to go out that window and like us solving
66:34
every problem y oh actually one more
66:37
thing that I really wanted to mention was we did a uh we did a live stream
66:41
with modus we've actually done two of them over the last few weeks uh the last

67:16
stream number two in particular I thought was awesome Our Guest was
67:20
fantastic lots of fun very bubbly personality and it was really cool
67:24
talking to her particular ularly about um women women in in the programming
67:29
space because she basically said yeah
67:32
great yeah you know what I noticed that when I did my Ubisoft studio tour in
67:37
Montreal there were so many women working there Y and not just as
67:43
secretaries like uh one like their um
67:47
the the lady who uh was talking to us about their state-of-the-art motion
67:50
capture for example there you go yeah yeah like and
67:56
like okay when I was taking software engineering it was a very low percentage
68:01
when I was taking uh like computer sciencey it databas e courses it was 25
68:07
30% which is a lot more than what I think a lot of people would expect all
68:11
right so let's go ahead and uh move on we've once again around during
68:16
the first two-thirds of the show and have very little time left So Far Cry 4
68:21
Dev resolution doesn't sell games this
68:24
was posted by rap on the Forum and the original article is from
68:28
neoaf 1080P or not 1080p isn't an
68:31
interesting question it is certainly not something I care about in a game said
68:35
Alex Hutchinson Far Cry 4 creative director good for you said this after
68:39
confirming the target resolution and frame rate of 1080p 30 FPS it feels
68:44
weird to me that people are cool about playing a sort of retro pixel game and
68:49
yet the resolution somehow matters it's like is it fun is it interesting is it
68:53
new is it freshh are are there interesting questions Hinson things
68:57
enthusiasm for high-end visuals is waning and these things are not mutually
69:02
exclusive yeah you can have a fun game that also looks great and and it's not
69:07
like we're asking for every game to come out like 4K we're asking for like a very
69:13
reasonable am we're asking for not
69:17
immersion breaking aliasing we're trying to not go backwards we're not trying to
69:21
shove you and push you incredibly hard to go forwards you should be doing that
69:25
on your own yeah this isn't this isn't
69:28
yeah we're not even saying that and of course it's important to have new things
69:33
in games um like he says a new spin on
69:36
an evolution I think is more interesting like new new topics new asking new
69:40
questions all that kind of stuff yeah do that you can do that while having a
69:45
reasonable amount of resolution and a reasonable frame rate you don't have to
69:50
have God they make my brain hurt why don't they just stop talking yeah you've
69:55
probably let's just stop talking about that speaking of things that I can't understand even us they need to stop
69:59
talking they just keep digging every single time speaking of things that I
70:03
can't figure out why anyone actually cares about Apple CEO Tim Cook comes out
70:08
and says I am proud to be gay the original article is from money.cnn.com
70:12
and I think that's about all the attention that this topic deserves
70:16
because who gives Uh crap nobody should
70:20
care yeah at all although one thing that I am kind of
70:25
kind of happy to see though is that you know we we live in a time when we can
70:29
have a non-white dude in the White House and the CEO of the most valuable company
70:34
in America be openly gay so I guess
70:38
that's that's pretty cool isn't it yeah all right been yeah uh X-Wing and Tie
70:43
Fighter oh my I'm going to jump a you we
70:47
have to have that speaking of pixelated
70:51
games I I have you already bought them no oh I didn't know it was a thing until
70:56
like pretty close to before the show okay and there's a there's a guide on um
71:00
crap I have it bookmarked I can't remember what site it is but they've got a guide on updating the graphics of
71:05
X-Wing haven't looked into it for TIE fighter yet TIE fighter was actually my
71:09
favorite of the games I actually never even finished the campaign of X-Wing but
71:12
TIE fighter is one of my favorite games of all time and it has stood up to the
71:18
test of time surprisingly well great
71:21
story great music score great game
71:24
playay Fant fantastic gameplay the missions are challenging in a way that
71:29
new games really aren't like you can be out there flying for 45 minutes and like
71:34
some shuttle takes off from somewhere that you need to intercept and you're in
71:38
the wrong part of the battlefield you don't get over there you don't divert
71:42
everything away from weapons and Shields and get the crap over there and disable
71:46
that thing you failed the mission you start over like great game and uh so
71:52
they're on good old gam the resolution for the time it was released was probably probably just fine Ubisoft uh
71:57
you need a joystick to play I think the original 1994 release like the one that
72:01
I had uh you could play with a mouse but it was stupid it was bad was like super
72:06
super bad I specifically bought a joystick for TIE fighter and it was
72:11
worth every penny in fact that joystick is here at the office and I've been
72:16
meaning to take it home forever because I finally bought a USB to game port
72:20
adapter so I am planning to go home this
72:23
weekend and play TIE fighter with my Top
72:27
Gun joystick I'm actually going to go get that so I can show it off right now
72:30
you want to set up hooked up I'm sorry do you have your streaming setup hooked
72:34
up so you can stream that um yeah I don't need to take my webcam away
72:37
anymore so I have my webcam at home so maybe maybe I should stream some
72:42
time I don't even oh not going to trip on this again no not happening there you
72:46
go good work I'm jumping back to the dock that's like the the last thing that
72:51
I really want to nope there's a few other things that are really good what
72:54
should I tackle YouTube 60 FPS is finally here um you need to select the
72:59
1080p60 or 720p60 options in your
73:04
quality settings for it to work I know some people have uh apps for like
73:09
Firefox or Chrome which will automatically select the highest end
73:13
possible thing um you might need to disable that for certain people that are
73:17
releasing uh certain videos for it to be able to actually work properly I don't
73:22
know but I'm sure they they'll they'll fix those options at some point this
73:25
YouTube Oh 60 FPS yeah people keep asking if we're going to do 60 FPS
73:29
videos the answer is no um unless we're we're talking like
73:34
gameplay videos or something that really benefits from it product showcases and
73:37
reviews and like that do not benefit in
73:41
any tangible way from 60fps and I would
73:44
rather shoot in 4k and right now it's one or the other for us with our filming
73:49
equipment and yeah and and data storage
73:53
and that too yeah 4K is already killing us the fastest possible we shot today 80
73:57
gigs with the new recording format pretty insane fortunately we'll
74:01
be doing an updated ultimate NZ with eight seag 6 terab Enterprise grade
74:07
drives so yeah that's 48 terab awesome
74:11
yeah rusin server getting an upgrade there baby um okay so what else we got I
74:16
can't wait till we get a lonus Media Group paby oh T-Mobile
74:20
CEO this guy is crazy he's nuts he's
74:23
insane I love him every time he opens his mouth it's solid gold don't buy your
74:29
iPad from us new iPads from major US
74:32
carriers are network locked and he basically says look we didn't ask for
74:36
this we didn't want this we don't want
74:39
these iPads to be locked but they're they're locked out of the factory don't
74:43
buy your iPad from us go buy it from the Apple store and then bring it to
74:47
us which is great so the Sims are
74:50
pre-lock just to be clear so he just says why what what what is this this is
74:55
stupid he said so he tweeted out my advice to everyone and I'll get in
74:58
trouble for this buy it from the Apple Store love it he's great absolutely
75:04
fantastic uh IBM is fighting Ebola with
75:07
a supercomputer so they teamed up with um Cambridge University Africa's voices
75:12
project TCO firm okay so they teamed up with a bunch of wow a bunch of really
75:15
important stuff uh they developed a system that lets people report Ebola
75:19
related issues and concerns Via SMS or voice calls and basically what they had
75:24
to say about it is for us to tackle Ebola it is crucial to maintain an open
75:28
dialogue between the government and the people so uh creating opinion-based heat
75:34
maps that show areas of worry and areas of infection and has already highlighted
75:38
regions with growing numbers of suspected infections also working with
75:42
Nigeria uh so they've been cleared of disease to support preparedness for
75:46
future outbreaks you can play Plague Inc with real life cool AMD is going to be
75:52
launching the or relaunching the R9 29 x
75:55
with 8 gigs of memory we actually have a
75:58
pretty exciting project coming up with that yeah three 34in curved LG monitors
76:05
running off of triple R9 290x 8 gig
76:09
cards we're talking like 15 I think it's like 14 megapixels and change of
76:14
resolution surround gaming curve what's the dollar value in that in just gpus in
76:19
monitors uh six grand is
76:25
yeah like we're talking we're talking some badass stuff that'll look really
76:29
cool currently only available from Sapphire but Club 3D power color I think
76:35
MSI is coming out with one um and this will be available for the holiday season
76:39
in order to better compete presumably with the GTX 980 these will be custom
76:43
cooled cards with higher clock rates than reference and to be clear guys even
76:49
AMD is not going to be like yeah 8 gigs of memory it's going to like do things
76:54
you know it's more of a future proofing thing it's more of an if you're running
76:58
in crossfire and you're running games at 4K it's more it's more of a be ready for
77:04
higher resolution textures because we are finally getting games that are able
77:07
to use a 4 gig frame buffer so if you want something that's going to be able
77:10
to continue to keep up with higher resolution textures it might be worth
77:14
considering I personally hate the FW future proofing but there you go that's
77:20
what it is um I did hear a rumor though that NVIDIA is planning to launch 8
77:25
versions of the 980 and 970 to counter this card so we'll have to see how that
77:30
all shakes down happy to see that at the same like because as long as they have
77:34
the lower RAM amount cheaper cards as well because not everyone will need them
77:38
I think it'll be really good cuz some people will but not
77:42
everybody all right so what else we got
77:46
here I guess we don't really have much more time so maybe we'll do some uh
77:51
maybe we'll do some rapid fire topics speaking of LG and there curved 34in
77:55
monitor LG releases 31in Cinema 4K IPS
77:59
monitor so rather than being 3840 by 2160 this is the full 4K not
78:07
Ultra HD to be clear they are different I believe it's
78:12
4160 by 2160 or 41 oh crap now I forget
78:17
4096 by 2160 there we go the article on
78:21
redmondpie tocom saved me here and they
78:25
are saying that it is suitable for
78:28
professional use and considering that it's coming in at a mirror
78:34
$1,400 wow that's actually cheaper than I thought that's a lot cheap but it's
78:39
it's it's not as expensive as I expected for that product yeah I mean compared to
78:44
other professional grade displays I mean this is a prograde resolution and
78:48
they're saying it's going to be suitable for uh for color work and for
78:52
professional video editors and all that kind of stuff this looks absolutely fantastic nice
78:58
thin bezel it's uh got Thunderbolt capability so you'll be able to connect
79:02
it to your Mac Pro nice professionall looking uh stand that will look
79:07
completely at home in an office environment looks like it's got some
79:11
ergonomic adjustments I don't know if we're going to get pivot here but it
79:15
looks like we should at least have swivel height adjust and tilt and it
79:19
does have a Vasa Mount so you could mount it to another ARM if you wanted
79:24
one thing we need to do is build logs and there's a new format for that I
79:28
don't know if you've seen that that's fine okay um also Reddit is launching
79:32
their own crowdfunding site they do seem to be a little late to the party here
79:36
but it's called Reddit made this was actually posted by uh Tech dreamer on
79:40
the Forum it's going to focus more on physical Goods like t-shirts and the
79:44
company will take a small cut of the campaign to cover the costs of its
79:48
platform I mean Reddit has so much potential they just have they have so
79:53
much mind share and they have such a large audience it's just I me don't know
79:57
that they're ever going to reddit.com intoit but they could turn spinoffs like
80:03
this spin-offs like this could be the future of of that company and and could
80:07
be the thing that allows them to really turn into a massively profitable company
80:10
daily gold Reddit Gold thing has been very helpful for them I believe and the
80:15
PC master racee in general actually the amount of gold that goes through that
80:20
subreddit is insane I don't know if you've ever seen that they're like one
80:23
of the most I think they are the or one of the most gilded subreddits like ever
80:28
and they're fairly small compared to other relative subreddits so I think
80:32
it's only around 250,000 members I'm not even sure but they're they're pretty
80:37
impressive in terms of helping out Reddit which is actually pretty cool to see so this is cool uh Project Ara just
80:42
got an update um there is a a real live
80:46
honest to goodness functioning test phone that boots into Android um Google
80:51
plans to hold its second AA Conference on January 14th so that's right around
80:55
CES time and uh here it is so there's a
80:59
this is on the phone blocks blog Project Ara update look at that
81:06
okay let's go ahead and actually skip to the part where we get to see it there we
81:11
go so you can oh dang it there we go so
81:14
don't move it hey hey hold still all right so you can see that the modules
81:18
are going to be different sizes here um
81:22
that's something that I think a lot of people were not hoping for they were
81:25
kind of hoping for just a grid based system on the back and you could
81:28
rearrange things Tetris style if you wanted to but I think that as a first
81:33
step this probably makes a ton of sense because not everything needs to be as
81:37
large as a battery or CPU and cooling module um but yeah look at that it boots
81:43
into Android so that happens uh hold on
81:47
there go that's really cool yeah and it's not as it's not as chunky here but
81:53
profile view hey it's not not chunky
81:56
yeah it's not not chunky but it's also not that big either but it's also not
82:00
nearly as chunky as I was expecting and given that we're not going to see a commercial produ product for another
82:05
generation or two of other smartphones
82:08
it could continue to catch up when is the release date for Project Ara I okay
82:14
hold on a second it could be sooner I
82:18
think I don't think they've actually January 2015 $50 no I think this was a
82:23
fairly fairly certain thing the $50 January 2013 thing or I mean January
82:28
2015 not 13 I'm in the past uh first
82:33
modular smartphone we'll call April 15
82:37
2014 okay well I don't I'm not okay if
82:40
it's the size that it is now I mean that doesn't actually look that much chunkier
82:45
than something like an Xperia Z2 I would be very very very excited to check this
82:50
one out and I will definitely order one yeah for sure uh announced today at the
82:54
Project Ara developers conference that it is the first modular smartphone will
82:58
go on sale in January 2015 for the low price of $50 and it will be a boring
83:03
grade design uh device by Design so to
83:08
get people to customize it themselves
83:11
interesting I don't know if that's still kind of the plan or what but yeah all
83:17
right so PS4 slim and Xbox One are both
83:22
or PS4 slim is Al is a rumored thing but the PS4 and the Xbox One are both
83:28
rumored to be getting Hardware upgrades
83:31
sometime in 2015 wow if that's not an admission of
83:38
failure I mean what what it's it's funny
83:42
the whole PC Master race thing is kind of funny to me now when a console is
83:46
just a PC in every possible
83:49
way yeah you still have to download a patch for your game on launch day yeah
83:54
regardless a PC or console version you're still going to need system
83:57
updates you're still probably going to need an update when they release these
84:00
new systems so that you can play older games at high resolutions and frame
84:04
rates yep you're going to have to actually look at the back of the at the
84:08
back of the disc case in order to find out which system it works for and you're
84:13
actually you're not just going to buy a box and have that work for you for five
84:17
or eight years or whatever else you're actually going to have to upgrade except
84:20
instead of dropping in a new graphics card once in a while now you get to buy
84:25
a completely new box and the real the
84:28
really scary thing about Xbox One and
84:32
PS4 and the owners for those consoles is
84:35
that unlike previous generation consoles
84:38
like the 360 and the PlayStation 3 which I think retains some value because of
84:44
their game Library an Xbox One and a PlayStation 4 what value will they have
84:51
what value does a console that now and now developers that whole argument of oh
84:56
it's easier to develop for the console because it's one piece of Hardware ha
85:00
now those two consoles are going to be four pieces of Hardware so these those
85:03
original launch consoles aren't going to have disadvantages like smaller onboard
85:07
hard drives or you know HD DVD or
85:11
whatever it's it's not going to be like that it's going to be like you're going to be running the same games as your
85:15
buddy with his Xbox One Gen 2 but at
85:18
crappier details just like on the
85:21
PC just like if you had an older PC and no one is going to want that thing and
85:25
then I'm still laughing off in the corner with my Wii U and my PC combo cuz
85:29
that's the way to go so there you go saying anyway it is Halloween today and
85:35
I am going trick-or-treating with my kids we got to do the build log so we're
85:38
doing the build log now and then we're good all right here you handle this no
85:42
it's super easy I want you to do it click on the click on the link uh no
85:47
what here you do it no no go back go back go back go back go back you can do
85:50
this you can do this I hate you I believe you actually the log there you
85:55
go uhhuh I want to show you how this works yeah cuz it'll work can I screen
85:58
share now uh I might want to wait till
86:02
it why is it not loading really easy
86:07
no it's really easy though it just there
86:10
okay and then why is it so slow you're
86:14
slow a that was mean hasht get wrecked
86:17
no you're you can full screen this once it
86:21
loads full screen you speaking of full
86:24
screen we're on full screen now we actually changed YouTube Network so uh
86:29
we're still going to be doing all did I mention this already I don't think so oh
86:32
okay I think you mentioned that you were going to in the Afterparty last week I
86:36
don't think everyone saw it I could be wrong okay well whatever we're still
86:39
going to live stream on Twitch we still love twitch they're good guys uh but
86:43
we're on full screen for YouTube now yeah okay so I'll full screen this I
86:47
will get us the truck out of the frame yes I want to allow it all right so this
86:53
is the voters pick this is is Mr tough 2.0 which you can probably see why it's
86:57
called that cuz it has a sabertooth Sabertooth tough series motherboard
87:01
carbide a540 yeah 90 Gig Kingston hyperx that's
87:07
an older W and a 240 gig yeah lots of
87:11
water cooling gear so this is a progress shot oh very nice Definitely progress
87:15
shot keep going now it looks totally different
87:20
whoa that's a cool that's like carbon
87:23
fiber camo dig camo cool like thing
87:27
actually yeah the only thing I I do really like it overall the only thing I
87:32
was like what was the cable sleeving cuz everything is like even the rings on the
87:37
fans are green and all the tubing is green and then the motherboard's all
87:41
crazy and stuff and the cable sleeving is like there was an opportunity to do
87:44
camo sleeving here yes definitely that's the only thing it's amazingly cool
87:49
computer I love what he did with it love that love that this matches the inside
87:55
over here super super cool I really like
87:59
it I think you would just escape to get out of it and then there's one more then
88:02
there's the staff pick and the the the procedure is the same all right so I
88:07
wait for the slowest balls supposedly
88:10
easy to use sight to load here there we go that was a little bit better that one
88:13
was a lot faster all right so this is AR there you go AR of the Covenant by
88:20
IIM this is the staff pick you know they should remake r ERS with The Arc of the
88:25
Covenant being like Halo
88:29
themed no they shouldn't it's a different Covenant mind you but it's
88:34
funny because both of those things work but they should really not do that wow I
88:38
love this dual zons 64 gig SSD but then
88:43
three 120 gig ssds yeah two 7870 Hawk
88:47
editions so I'm thinking gaming is a lower priority than
88:51
crunching wow didn't expect that small of the case wow that is very cool so
88:57
this is in the beginning uhhuh some
89:01
tweaks liking it liking them them Tracer
89:04
memory modules all that
89:09
blue wow what a sexy rig super nice Lee
89:13
and Lee does such a great job of the designs of their cases y we actually
89:17
have a review for a PC q19 uh lean Lee
89:20
case coming out this uh this week
89:25
and I was I was I love the Aesthetics of
89:28
it I love the design but the performance of it is just not there I make some
89:32
suggestions though in terms of tweaks for the case that I want to see made and
89:36
I really hope that either lean Lee or maybe Silverstone I have some hope for
89:40
Silverstone or Cooler Master the ones that I originally pitched this idea to I
89:44
hope someone makes the case that I'm asking for because I think we could do a
89:49
fully custom ITX gaming rig in a case
89:53
the size of a PS four if we do it right y with a couple of expension D you've
89:57
been talking about that for a little while yeah uh yeah for a little while
90:01
for a little while I've been talking about that I really do want that to
90:05
happen yeah I completely agree all right
90:08
so I I I don't know here's I guess uh one really cool uh one really cool
90:13
update um EVGA has just confirmed that
90:16
they have shipped us uh GTX 980
90:20
classified so we will have a video coming out about that uh this is great
90:25
they figure out of the box the card should do around 15 70 MHz so see out of
90:30
the box yep and with some tweaks they figure
90:33
16600 plus that'll be fun I'm excited to
90:36
play with that that's cool yeah yeah so so yeah that should be that should be
90:41
pretty good also we are are we are already talking to other manufacturers
90:45
about doing more factory tours so a lot of you guys loved the cherrymx factory
90:50
tour we have the Sennheiser one coming still so it was uh cherry and Sennheiser
90:56
that sponsored us to to be over there and to do those factory tours I mean
91:01
honestly like between between you guys and me and the wall we did not make
91:06
money on the trip no so it was just a
91:09
matter of we had to pay for flights I had to pay for people to like work for
91:13
me and be there and stuff but but the company didn't didn't pull a profit on
91:17
that trip I just thought it would could be like a really cool experience and potentially really cool content it was
91:21
more of an experiment and we have heard you guys you you have spoken you want
91:25
more factory tours so we're talking to a couple of companies based in with their
91:29
manufacturing based in Taiwan about potentially doing some more we're trying
91:32
to like bundle up trips because then it makes a lot more financial sense yes
91:36
it's really hard to justify going somewhere individual trip every time one
91:42
company no so if we can get two or three on board then it becomes less of a
91:45
burden for the sponsors to pay for all of our travel expenses and all that and
91:49
it becomes more sensible for us to be out of the office for a week to you know
91:54
create more than one video hopefully yes
91:57
so lots of exciting stuff coming also we've got videos um oh mineral oil video
92:03
two is going to be coming next week so stay tuned for that and we will
92:08
hopefully do mineral oil three next week hopefully we'll film
92:13
mineral oil 3 next week yeah so that we keep it kind of rolling I'm hoping to
92:17
film x99 overclocking guide next week as well actually we've got lots of great
92:21
stuff coming over the next little bit the mother board vide
92:24
y I don't know when those will be ready right but yeah do you want to talk about
92:28
what you're working on though and should we do this in after party okay L show's
92:31
over bye I'm going to take this hat off cuz
92:35
it's making my nose itchy that made sense it's these things
92:41
yeah are you sure your nose is ity
92:48
because where you going with that
