welcome to the rancho starting again
0:06
which will make no sense to those of you watching the vibe
0:10
uh we've got we're totally doing this for the first time we've actually got
0:14
some pretty crap topics this week no yep
0:17
they're crap um we do have we can polish it
0:23
you can polish the crap as long as it's not diarrhea
0:29
oh man try and polish diarrhea you just end up that would be a more advanced
0:33
process well you could like uh put it in like an
0:37
ice cube tray oh so you freeze it freeze
0:40
it freeze it then polish it yeah
0:44
more work possible i mean can you imagine a poop ice cube
0:48
like what would be a what would be an appropriate context for that
0:52
i mean if you if you're if you need improvised projectiles that
0:56
might also cause disease yeah so if you're this far into the show and you're
0:59
thinking is this going to be one of those ones where they actually have tech
1:03
news or is this going to be one of the ones where they just bs for an hour
1:07
hopefully that's already clear we do have some we do have some real
1:11
topics though uh crash plan for home says au revoir
1:16
that's goodbye in italian um they are pulling out of the home market
1:22
samsung's boss and heir jailed for

2:43
on your own okay i only vaguely heard about it i had no camera person why
2:48
because you know what okay we'll get to it after the intro so the vega shortage

the other one yeah okay uh um
3:16
sponsors fresh books they're both books
3:19
that are fresh yeah the drinking stuff is turkey it's less fresh because it's
3:24
preserved because it's jerky it's smoked but relative relative to jerky yeah
3:29
relative to other jerky i guess it's fresh yeah um in that there's less
3:33
preservatives and nitrates um yeah okay hold on i'm gonna put this back
3:38
but why isn't my screen share working confused confused disappointed
3:45
and disappointed and uh hold on i didn't have the thing on and no it's still not

4:02
xsplit i don't know okay well that's avio
4:06
um has issues with x-play yeah blames it
4:10
on xsplit and refuses to do things because they blame it on xbox yeah
4:14
that's um episode episode yeah no i'm so okay
4:19
that's probably a topic of discussion is it finally time for us to move to obs
4:24
let's find out um and actually another good discussion
4:28
topic that we've got here is is Floatplane dying
4:33
i don't know what would make people think that but that is definitely a i'm
4:37
stoked on that as a topic of
4:40
conversation i have no idea where that came from is that posted in the doc what
4:45
were we talking about before we rolled the intro and i said we were going to talk about it after the intro
4:50
uh i don't know crap
4:55
i have no idea whatsoever maybe twitch chat will help us with this
5:00
is Floatplane dying where did you get that from but i'm uh
5:03
it's not yeah it's not hold on are they gonna help us it's doing quite well
5:08
people are asking if i dye my hair oh the trip to new york that's right oh i
5:12
dyed my hair i'm only 31. i can't believe i'm 31.
5:17
that's not too bad it's not too great you look like a very
5:21
young 31. thanks that's like saying you know
5:26
for a corpse you really don't look that decomposed you don't look like you're in
5:30
your throat so don't worry about it i wouldn't assume that you're in your 30s
5:33
you've aged a lot since you like had kids and started this country
5:38
thanks but me too it started nice it started you look really great for your
5:42
30s then it's like but wow man you are really on a downward slope dude i am too
5:48
yeah but you can just shave your beard and you go to
6:00
okay yeah you know what i'm going after it because this is this is payback time
6:04
baby all right your face looks horrible enough that you have to hide it right
6:08
here bam that's right screw you dick
6:14
i mean the old but at least i can show my face where is it i wonder if i can
6:18
find it there's the instagram posts from
6:21
when i had to shave for that video that we didn't get to release yeah i know the
6:25
oh the comments on there are hilarious i think there's people that like
6:29
legitimately think i'm a different person okay but you know what though in
6:32
your defense i think part of what i think part of why it doesn't work for
6:36
you though is because your hairdo is kind of like you have like kind of i
6:41
think i think it did better when i had like the spikes you have a choir boy
6:45
hairdo but then you offset it with the kind of rugged facial hair yeah so when
6:49
you have like the no facial hair and then you just
6:52
have like the nice kind of yeah you just you go kind of like yeah kind of choir
6:57
boy yeah um i think when i had when i had the spikes or when i just had like
7:01
the faux hawk kind of deal or just short hair in general i think it i think it
7:04
did a little bit better yeah uh okay so we were supposed to talk about the trip
7:08
to new york okay so here's what went down okay um i have never been invited
7:12
to a samsung launch event before this is the first
7:17
because you've just had like the meetings yeah so i've had meetings with
7:21
like samsung canada yeah where i'll go
7:24
to like a hotel in vancouver or a restaurant one time
7:28
and i'll get briefed on the phone
7:31
and a lot of the time this is like a week or two after yes like the unpacked
7:37
event and marquez and jonathan morrison
7:41
and austin all those guys like have full reviews up and i'm getting briefed and
7:45
i'm seeing the device for the first time because get this because
7:49
it's just launching in canada now yeah
7:53
which is so like super stupid
7:56
as though i should give any cares when it launches in canada
8:01
nobody cares when a device launches in canada and the kind of stuff they'll
8:05
cover at these briefings is great they're like yeah and the blue color is gonna be
8:09
available exclusively on rogers
8:13
why i did have uh okay someone will find out from the video
8:18
that they're interested in the phone go to rogers.com and be like oh there's
8:21
blue and they'll buy it cool or they'll slap
8:25
a skin on it anyways or they'll never go to rogers.com and never know that they
8:29
had a blue one and not care yeah in all likelihood if we're being honest right
8:34
now vast vast percentage of people so that's what would always happen so i was
8:38
super stoked to get an invite to the samsung unpacked event because that
8:42
meant that i could actually do a hands-on video at the same time that the
8:45
and every other press in the world mind you the verge had an article or had a
8:49
video up while austin and i were sitting there at the audience going why do we
8:53
even attend these things like honestly
8:57
why are we even why are we even here what's the point um but that's a whole
9:01
other conversation um the verge had a video so they so they
9:05
in so they invited me up and i was like oh this is great yeah i'd love to go do
9:09
it um you know you want to build that relationship i want to i want to be
9:13
timely on mobile stuff if i can at all manage to do it
9:17
and then i'm like okay yeah so we need two tickets me and a camera person which
9:21
i think is fairly reasonable for a publication of our impact
9:24
and they're like oh sorry um you can't bring a camera person and i'm
9:29
like okay well can i just pay for their ticket and
9:33
pay for their hotel or even just share a room like i don't care like most of the
9:37
camera people here i'm buddy buddy enough with that we could just share a room no problem
9:42
um and then they're like no we can't get you another ticket for the event
9:47
so even if i brought my own camera person there you can't get them inside
9:51
they could only get me one one ticket into the event because again it's
9:55
because i'm going through samsung canada samsung canada had 12 tickets
10:00
for the entire country i was i was going as far as like is this like a fire
10:04
marshal issue like they literally can't bring more people into the building it
10:08
was full but the problem is that canada's allocation was so little of it
10:13
right that so austin had three people there
10:20
because but he didn't get his hotel and flight paid for and he didn't get like
10:24
there was this activation after where why did he need three people i was
10:28
supposed to have to get this i was supposed to have two to three thousand dollars to go experience new york with
10:33
the note 8. and they were like yeah you could do like a chopper flight or you
10:36
could do this you could i didn't end up doing anything because i was busy
10:40
editing my stupid video that i shot that day so i didn't even end up using it but
10:44
it was like you guys you guys have all this like influencer budget but i can't
10:50
bring a camera person to the event with me come on so austin didn't have that
10:54
because that was just something samsung canada was doing but this just all leads
10:58
back to like a a larger fundamental issue which is how fragmented yes yeah
11:04
where one company samsung
11:08
okay they have the verge going live where i
11:11
don't know why hashtag free luke is being spammed i don't know what it means
11:15
so they have the one company has the verge going live with a preview yeah
11:20
well the entire rest of the world press which has like astronomically more views
11:25
than the rest of the stuff in their channel while the entire rest of the world press is sitting in an auditorium
11:30
waiting for the presentation to start they've got um the us and canada and
11:36
whatever other countries with wonko allocations for press they've got and
11:40
and they've got completely different programs for i would consider myself and
11:45
austin pretty similar in terms of what we are
11:51
youtubers influencers like we fall in the same category
11:54
and he's gotta buy his flight buy his hotel but he can get as many tickets as
11:59
he wants i get a free flight free hotel and a few
12:03
grand to spend on doing something cool in new york but i can't bring a camera
12:07
operator yeah so so it's just all over the place
12:11
um and i just i feel like
12:14
somewhere at some point what could have even been
12:18
sort of interesting is if they gave you like one of those phone gyro things
12:23
and like you were able to bring an editor and they got you to like film the whole
12:28
thing on the phone yeah and they like gave you a phone to talk about and
12:32
display and they give you a phone to film with yeah and you're able to bring an editor so they could actually edit
12:36
the exactly that would be pretty neat
12:39
and the other thing too though is consistency like i no one's going to be
12:42
upset if everyone's kind of doing the same thing yeah but like honestly and i
12:47
don't me i hope she i sincerely doubt she's watching but there was another
12:52
person in the media on the media side of the presentation
12:57
that was sincerely taking notes
13:01
from the presentation on a little pad of paper
13:05
and wrote down like 10 things and i'm kind of sitting here
13:08
going like how are you even covering this like what are you
13:11
are you gonna fold that up tie it to a pigeon and
13:15
mail it to someone like what are you doing what are you doing i've taken i've taken
13:20
written notes before such that you are relevant enough to be here and that
13:23
you're yeah but she wasn't it wasn't a speed thing
13:27
because she didn't even write anything okay she was sitting right in front of
13:30
me and i'm sitting here going what could you possibly be doing that doesn't
13:33
require you to digitize this at some point yeah one of the things that i like
13:37
about paper notes and i know this isn't what you're saying i'm just we have to talk a lot today because we have no news
13:41
so i'm going for it yeah um is is that
13:44
it's kind of like the one note idea if i had like a surface book that i had
13:48
folded back with a pen then sure but that's i don't have that
13:52
what no stop
13:55
so like i can stop part way through and draw something
13:59
or do whatever i need to okay she does nothing and the notepad was like this
14:03
big see that's crazy it's really hard to see i normally have big ones like this
14:07
and we're sitting in a dark auditorium because it's like a presentation yeah
14:11
anytime that i've sat down at a presentation if i had the option i did
14:16
laptop or even phone but if i'm like being walked around a
14:20
booth really quickly i often just write
14:23
right so you know right tool for the job and i
14:28
totally get that but it was just like like why are you even here
14:32
yeah um so what else we uh what else we got for
14:37
today actually oh oh uh why don't we talk about is
14:40
Floatplane dying slowplane dying i don't i don't even understand no okay
14:46
is that it yeah that was it in other news are we gonna finally move to obs
14:51
because my uh laptop screen capture is still not working why don't you talk
14:54
about pros and cons while i see if i can figure this out okay so
14:58
uh if people have watched my little stream i don't know if i've ever talked
15:01
about it on the WAN Show but i've done
15:05
quite a few different attempts of moving off of xsplit to obs because the amount
15:10
of rain that happens from everybody about how obs is so much better because
15:14
it's open source uh convinced me to try it a few a few times
15:19
and i decided that i didn't like it every single time until recently and i'm sure i'm gonna
15:24
receive an email about this or a tweet or something
15:27
but i've been having a huge amount of problems with xsplit
15:31
and i'm not the only one and a lot of them have to do with
15:35
capture cards and other different types of things that we're trying to use and
15:39
i'm getting feedback from these companies that make these devices that
15:43
it just doesn't work on xsplit
15:47
and they're blaming xsplit and they're refusing to do anything about it so
15:51
like i'm pretty sure the stream deck doesn't work on xsplit and we've had
15:56
tons of problems with it right yeah so the stream deck i don't know uh what just happened
16:01
oh dear oh crap did you unplug the sdi uh maybe hold on well we theoretically
16:06
still have audio so i'm just going to keep talking so you don't really need to see me anyways
16:10
um so continuing from there
16:14
i wanted to play horizon zero dawn and i couldn't so i started trying to look
16:18
into obs and man there's been some leaps
16:21
and bounds in terms of how good and functional obs is and it's still in my
16:26
opinion a very clunky ui i think they have made a number of objectively
16:31
terrible uh design decisions
16:35
but functionality wise it does really well the transgender stuff it does it
16:39
does well with the audio levels
16:43
the audio stuff on xsplit is just
16:46
ah why there's just like a volume bar
16:49
that you can change the level of and like a tiny very hard to see level
16:54
bounce that's just on the bottom of the volume bar not in its own area very
16:58
difficult to see is completely beyond me and obs has individual levels for all
17:03
your things that are very easy to see all the time
17:06
that's wonderful there's some really clunky things about it but
17:11
it works very well in terms of the back end
17:15
stuff and we use epiphan avio capture
17:19
cards because they're wonderful and they don't like overheat and do other junky
17:24
things that a lot of other capture cards that we've used have done
17:28
um but they have compatibility issues with xsplit
17:32
and talking it came up over the last little while yeah
17:36
yeah it's it seems to be new um
17:40
and that's very frustrating so yeah moving off of something that is
17:45
theoretically paid for to something that is free because the free thing is better is just
17:50
odd um i hope i hope x split figures
17:54
but yeah okay so uh this next news item is
17:58
actually from my email so hopefully i don't expose anything critical but it
18:04
doesn't look like it crash plan for home
18:08
is going away thank you for using crashplan for home
18:12
we hope you have enjoyed the secure backup that the free version of crashplan for home has provided as of
18:17
today we've made the decision to shift our business strategy to focus on the
18:20
enterprise and small business segments
18:24
wow so this kind of sucks because
18:28
crash plan was like the go-to for quick
18:33
painless easy off-site backup of your entire
18:36
system so in theory and you know there's some
18:40
port forwarding and whatever else that goes along with it but in theory crash
18:45
plan was as simple as going okay here's all the stuff i want to back up
18:48
here's my buddy's crash plan code
18:52
click and then it would send over an encrypted
18:55
version of all of that stuff in like an encrypted container file so that in the
19:00
event that you had some kind of a catastrophic system failure you would be
19:03
able to at the very least back up all of your all of your precious memories and
19:07
all that and you you you didn't necessarily even have to trust the
19:11
person on the other side you just had to have enough of a working relationship
19:15
with them that you'd be able to get physical access to the data
19:18
at some point or even back it up online if you uh if you didn't have so
19:23
much that it would take like weeks to download or whatever the case may be
19:27
so as long as you you didn't even have to trust each other you just had to have
19:31
like a bilateral agreement that kind of goes hey i'll have some extra storage in
19:34
my place you have some extra storage at your place we'll back up to each other boom done
19:39
um and right now i'm not a hundred percent sure exactly what we're going to
19:45
um well it says support small business so what does that mean
19:50
well how much does that cost i'm using this personally though and small business is i believe i forget but it's
19:55
like a significant cost per device okay
19:59
yeah so it and it really is priced like a small business solution
20:04
um click to get crash plan for small business here we go
20:08
so let's have a look at what we got here so i'm in a bit of a better spot
20:12
because way back now to be completely honest i got that synology nas yep and i
20:17
can synology to synology yes mirror which is actually quite nice
20:22
there's other things you can do too on your own um but nothing that's as elegant as this
20:27
and this was like the cross platform thing because you could so i could use
20:30
it on a Windows desktop and i could be backing up to a crash plan docker
20:34
container on an unraid server for example so that was super cool um but yeah no
20:39
here we go it's ten dollars per device per month
20:43
wow for the business one yeah so it's 120 bucks a year and
20:47
what kind of sucks about this it says you can migrate all your cloud back up
20:52
something something yeah i don't think
20:55
it yeah it does not support computer to computer backups anymore
21:01
so that super sucks because that was the
21:05
whole that was the whole reason why i would use crashplan because it's going from
21:10
thing i own to thing that i own or is like a thing my friend owns instead of
21:15
relying on you know some corporation somewhere to keep all of this stuff safe
21:20
like i like the idea of having everything on my servers and especially
21:23
not having to pay extra for more cloud storage if i have a bunch of crap i want
21:28
to back up like if i have a gigabit internet connection at my office
21:33
i would love to be able to just
21:37
flood it and they're not going to like
21:41
so what happens if you've already got this stuff set up because isn't this
21:44
local software it is local software um
21:49
i believe though that they can just can it remember yeah i believe they can can
21:53
it because the way that friends are tracked
21:57
is through authentication through the software yeah so it's not something
22:00
where you just point it at an ip and it just goes okay yeah so maybe they maybe they've had
22:04
this in the plan for a long time uh maybe maybe the
22:08
people who are smarter than me are gonna go find some version that you can kind
22:12
of roll back to where it all works or something like that i'm not sure but in
22:17
the meantime um i'm definitely gonna be looking for some other kind of solution
22:21
and that's pretty frustrating um scroll all the way down all the way
22:26
down all the way down all the way to the bottom almost right there sponsor
22:31
a little bit up a bit half-life three oh you gotta be kidding me nope actually
22:36
not so this was originally posted on the
22:39
forum by n2a newt
22:42
and uh let's go ahead and just kind of wow that
22:48
is that was way too broken there you go um
22:52
that looks pretty good so half-life 2 episode 3's story
22:57
released by mark laidlaw the lead writer for the
23:02
half-life series who left valve last year
23:07
wow i have a feeling this could get him in a lot of trouble
23:12
i really hope he's sought out legal counsel yeah i hope he's lawyered up man
23:17
um wow that's pretty crazy
23:24
it's on github and i believe it's in like quite a few other places as well
23:27
it's on pastebin uh because people are worried about it being brought down
23:31
which is not surprising at all um apparently it wraps up a lot of loose
23:35
ends it's essentially half-life two episode three
23:39
um
23:42
yeah wow apparently it the corrected
23:45
versions where it like fixes the genders and fixes a few words that he like
23:50
changed that can't be enough to save him at all
23:54
but whatever um is like a very coherent
23:59
and plausible plotline so it's from a fictional character named
24:04
gertie fremont yeah but if you change that yeah who
24:08
recounts her team up with feisty partner alex vaughnt
24:13
to find the hyper borea luxury liner
24:16
which must be uh yeah so
24:22
wow so he's like probably gonna get owned i really like uh so there's no way
24:27
of knowing whether this was a finalized plot line we have no way of knowing
24:32
how far into development half-life 2 episode 3 this could be a first draft
24:36
yep um but apparently
24:40
he was the primary architect of half-life's plot and his departure from valve last year was widely seen as
24:45
acknowledgment that episode three was completely dead
24:49
so maybe if i can speculate wildly without looking into anything that this
24:53
guy has said publicly at all because we don't have a lot of notes it's just the
24:56
lan show anyway um yeah why not right let's just yolo it yeah yeah
25:01
so yeah fake news warning yeah um but i would i would assume that maybe this is
25:07
like he's the main architect for the plot it said that right there this is
25:10
probably like his masterpiece
25:13
right so while he might get screwed for this maybe he just doesn't care
25:22
because like if you created this and like the whole internet is like we want
25:25
it so bad yeah and it's like the greatest work you've done i don't know i
25:30
don't know what else he's worked on yeah i mean i can see how someone would feel like that like but half-life is amazing
25:34
so that would be like an amazing thing to be the greatest thing you can i'll tell you something like we've considered
25:39
just going live with the Channel Super Fun top gun
25:43
shop for shot volleyball scene recreation and just
25:47
taking the copyright strike just so that people can watch it like
25:51
having it up there for long enough that
25:54
some people can watch it before it gets ripped down because like they're not
25:58
going to delete our channel no realistically we're not a big enough
26:02
target to get sued into oblivion by uh what is it columbia pictures and if we
26:06
do what we just give them all the profits from the video can't remember well no no there's more to it than
26:11
there's more to it than that but like realistically they're not gonna
26:14
they're not gonna put a target on their own back
26:18
by like trying to shut down
26:21
i like to think a fairly you know beloved
26:24
youtube creator company like yeah
26:27
like the amount of public backlash over suing us into a crater
26:33
over us just doing a fan yeah remake of a scene from one of their
26:38
movies like come on it seemed it seems very implausible at
26:42
some people like it at ltx yeah yeah yeah like at some point
26:46
before an actual lawsuit occurs some human looks at something and makes
26:51
a decision as to whether or not to proceed with it and it's not necessarily
26:56
as simple as the black and white of law yeah it's like
26:59
is this worth the pr is this worth the cost is this worth the effort yeah and
27:04
like that but like what you just said just to dive further into this topic
27:07
that i know nothing about um could be a reason why valve might not
27:12
go for this guy
27:15
valve is the like dream child of all the pc gamers but remember to okay less so
27:20
these days for one thing and if you don't protect your ip
27:26
then you will be seen as soft and you could open yourself up to this
27:30
kind of leak all the time yeah and all of a sudden
27:34
valve who might not have a ton of employees but in terms of revenues
27:39
and profits is a gigantic company
27:43
i uh no i i think i think they actually
27:47
have no choice but to go after him as hardcore as they
27:51
can like if honestly that sucks if i was
27:55
them i would do it just because you can't set a precedent
28:00
like that and you can't have someone you can't make it okay for that to happen
28:04
because someone might actually come out with a game with gertie fremont and alex
28:09
vaughn that is like the exact thing like here
28:13
and call it like quarter
28:16
life span three let's draw a parallel right um so
28:21
let's say that um let's say that you
28:25
decided to quit or something like that you don't um
28:29
yeah i know you're like half half way out the door already but
28:33
the point is let's say you decided yeah like what what like three months or
28:37
something yeah let's say you decided to quit and as the last thing that you did
28:42
you went around the office and you grabbed
28:46
your scrap yard wars pc yeah and
28:50
um let's just let's just try and think of like
28:53
some you know what there that's that's i was going to say the bomb but that's true the bomb's kind of yours already
28:57
anyway like i think the plasti dip on it is mine
29:01
yeah it's not even plastic yeah yes but the paint belongs to me well the plastic
29:06
you can take the whole middle section yeah the whole middle section yeah yeah
29:09
but but let's say the scrapyard wars pc where indisputably Linus media group
29:13
paid for oh yeah no that's yeah and it was created on work time which your
29:17
employee agreement states that the things you create
29:20
are the intellectual property of this company i know that's that's works which
29:23
i'm sure he has a very similar agreement in place certain so let's say that you
29:28
took off with it and you were like i'm not giving this bag
29:32
i would have no choice even though i don't actually care and as far as i'm
29:36
concerned you can have it because that would be i didn't give you permission
29:40
yeah you just couldn't that then be used
29:44
against you if someone else does it possibly yes because you said a
29:48
precedent that this is okay yes and that could be seen as like a benefit
29:52
of working here or something or something either way i'm creating the
29:56
potential for this to come back and become a problem and honestly in this
30:00
case the stakes are even so much lower than someone you know leaking the plot
30:05
of an unreleased game oh yeah definitely that's that's taking some property
30:10
and like displaying it in my house probably yeah the other thing would be
30:14
taking property and giving it to everyone that's right that would be like
30:18
taking a video that we never released that i made yeah and giving it to
30:22
everyone on my own channels later yep
30:26
where even if you had no intention of profiting from it this is something that
30:30
a lot of people don't necessarily understand is the definition of profit
30:33
does not necessarily come down to the
30:36
money that luke makes like let's say that luke took it and did a stream on
30:41
his twitch channel where he specifically
30:44
the nda expired
30:50
so is the argument here that the statute of limitations is up
30:54
because it's been a year or something like that well his nda yeah his nda from
30:58
working there has apparently so there's a difference between that's very
31:02
yeah an nda and intellectual property yeah and stealing into and disclosing
31:07
something that's under if he was like if he was like i had a fully written
31:12
script for half-life 2 episode 3
31:16
that would be a perfect example
31:20
of something that would be nda'ed but not intellectual property
31:24
um so anyway so back to literally the script back to the example let's say
31:28
luke decided that for that stream all the money that came in was going to go
31:33
to a charity or he was going to turn off monetization um for the video where he
31:37
displayed that video yeah um he still profits in the sense that
31:43
if eva if i can prove that even a single person went and watched that stream who
31:48
wouldn't have otherwise he profited
31:52
off of the thing that didn't belong to him that
31:55
he stole from Linus media group in the sense that he gained notoriety people
32:00
were saying get john i didn't uh yeah we could go get john actually uh he's uh
32:05
he's upstairs we can you know what why don't we come back to this topic a
32:09
little bit uh a little bit later in this i want to say two things before we get
32:12
john here so that like everyone remembers so we can bring this up one
32:16
some people are comparing this to h3h3 that's not it at all no it's not it's
32:20
content that was released by someone else that was used in minor form for
32:23
parody completely drastically different situation
32:27
and another one this would be
32:30
sort of comparable to someone working at like dreamworks
32:35
and they make a bunch of like internal animations and different shorts all this
32:38
different kind of stuff that they don't get to completion and then they quit and then a year later they just release all
32:43
of these publicly yeah that's we'll get john here but i'm like pretty
32:48
down i feel pretty good about the position that i've taken on it but hey
32:51
he could always come in and tell me i'm wrong in the meantime uh why don't we do
32:55
ourselves it's also america so the laws are like slightly different uh what do
32:59
we got for wow you know what's funny is we actually thought we didn't have a lot
33:02
of topics this week but we've got a fair bit that we still have a fair bit to
33:05
talk about so let's uh let's get through this first box
33:14
okay fresh books so if you're a small business owner or a freelancer uh let's
33:18
say you do construction on the side or even you do it as your full-time job
33:22
house painting you teach yoga classes out of your garage you do small time
33:26
computer repair or it work for local offices whatever it is you do freshbooks
33:31
is all about giving you the tools to make your organization your billing and
33:36
your accounting way simpler and expenses
33:39
which is a thing that a lot of new businesses don't take proper advantage of tracking expenses is something that
33:45
can be very tedious and complicated but
33:48
freshbooks because it comes with you on the go it's available for iOS and
33:52
Android allows you to just track everything as you go so at the end of
33:55
the week you're not sitting there you know spending a bunch of time
33:58
creating invoices you can create invoices in seconds so you're not
34:02
spending a bunch of time going oh how much did i work on that job which days was it and then you end up in an
34:06
argument with the client about like you know
34:10
it's it's stupid yeah freshbooks allows you to keep track of all that stuff and
34:15
if you have any questions they're there to help you pick up the phone you call
34:19
freshbooks a human picks up the line and helps you out with it freshbooks is one
34:24
of the only sponsors that we've ever worked with where i have never seen a
34:29
complaint yeah that was not resolved in
34:32
a timely manner by freshbooks these guys are freaking awesome and if you're a
34:37
small business owner and you want to simplify your accounting go check them out at freshbooks.com when and enter
34:42
when in the how did you hear about us section
34:45
in other news our savage jerky offer has
34:48
changed do we have one in here so savage jerky
34:53
super delicious um i'm gonna grab the uh you know what
34:58
i'm gonna i'm just not i'm just not gonna do the spicy today we'll chill out
35:02
today i'm just i'm going to keep i'm going to take it easy the cracked pepper
35:05
and sea salt is delicious i love the uh you're going to go for sweet sriracha
35:10
barbecue what's that green one that i really like moho um yeah
35:16
yeah that one's freaking delicious uh the maple bacon one's really good
35:20
traditional is very good uh traditional is really good they've got lots of great
35:23
flavors um jerky is made with the best ingredients
35:26
without nitrates or preservatives and they wanted to create a snap that was
35:30
full of flavor and spice without being bad for you
35:34
they've got 13 different flavors and they also make barbecue sauce hot sauce
35:38
and a spice rub interesting use offer code LTT to save
35:42
10 on all their products and hit it
35:46
for all orders placed this weekend

savage jerky will include a kazooie or a
35:52
sticker a koozie a koozie oh i thought

36:00
code bam so check them out code LTT over at genie
36:05
dot us savage jerky and use offer code LTT to save 10
36:09
on savage jerky all right
36:12
john get in here you can take my spot we're talking about the uh the half-life
36:16
three plots we can just make uh have you heard about this
36:20
have you seen this have you heard about this okay okay why don't you actually look at it while we do one one more
36:24
topic and then you can come back and use my laptop use my laptop yeah okay in the meantime
36:29
i want to jump into one of our other topics here
36:33
someone messed with me someone put a spicy one
36:37
in the cracked pepper and sea salt
36:41
and it's delicious as usual but i have the hiccups now because i wasn't
36:44
expecting it that wasn't me that actually wasn't me
36:50
i wouldn't be surprised if it was ivan jack jackass is everywhere
36:56
what's his plan his plan was to like uh
36:59
have a whole bunch in the line you don't know which one's the spicy one and it's like roulette
37:03
oh lordy we should do that as a Channel Super Fun kind of a fun channel beef jerky
37:07
roulette all right this was originally posted over on ars
37:11
technica
37:15
and Intel's not really hiding it but they recently launched eighth
37:20
generation mobile chips and the
37:23
um the assumption i think from a lot of people even fairly tech savvy i assumed
37:27
this the assumption was that an eighth generation mobile chip
37:32
would be coffee lake which is their upcoming architecture
37:36
nope these quad core
37:39
dang it these quad-core u-class mobile chips
37:43
which by the by the way is pretty freaking sick
37:47
so base clocks of anywhere from 1.6 to 1.9 gigahertz
37:52
and boost clocks of 3.4 to 3.9 gigahertz
37:56
at four core cores with
38:02
and these are all 15 watt parts are pretty darn impressive and are gonna
38:07
enable a completely new class of mobile
38:10
device like i'm really looking forward to see if lg does a 2018 gram
38:16
with these processors right yeah or or something like it because a quad core is
38:20
really the only thing i'm missing you've already got an NVMe SSD you've already
38:24
got 16 gigs plus of RAM so the one thing missing is more multi-threading
38:28
performance and they're even hyper threaded so we're
38:32
talking four cores eight threads
38:36
these things look sick unfortunately this is not nearly the
38:40
shift that we were possibly expecting they are built on a somewhat
38:44
refined version of Intel's 14 nanometer manufacturing process and even though
38:48
they're calling them 8th gen they are actually much more similar
38:53
both CPU and GPU to the 7th generation
38:56
kaby lake so they're calling these kb lake refresh
38:59
which if my experience has anything to go on basically means
39:02
kaby lake yeah um and it's frustrating
39:05
because the whole idea really can be like with
39:09
like a better understanding of their bidding yeah
39:12
the whole idea and well Intel is iterating all the time so it's kaby lake
39:18
refresh but they're probably already using all
39:21
the things they learned in other kaby lake chips as it is
39:24
because they are making changes over time um sorry john we're almost ready
39:28
for you sorry um but it's frustrating because the whole
39:32
idea behind this gen thing is you're supposed to be able to understand
39:35
what generation the freaking thing is architecturally and now
39:40
we've got seventh generation processors
39:43
on the hedt side that are skylake based
39:48
we've got seventh generation processors on the mainstream side that are kaby
39:51
lake based and then we've got eighth generation processors that are kaby lake based is
39:56
nothing sacred no
40:02
so um yeah
40:07
oh but to be clear the hedt ones i'm talking about are like the 7900x
40:11
so that because it has a seven it's seventh gen but it is actually a sixth
40:15
generation sky lake architecture so now there's gonna have to be like
40:19
the Intel version and there's gonna have to be like the enthusiast who has who's
40:23
keeping track of this on their own version of what gen everything is all
40:27
right so let's feel like we're gonna need another Techquickie video let's let john jump in and talk about this
40:32
whole half-life three thing i'll give you my spot
40:36
do you have to leave nope
40:41
here we go okay so
40:44
half-life three how does how does this work because we think
40:48
Linus and i are both in agreement right now that some people in the chat are saying
40:52
like oh his nda lifted
40:56
but we don't think this is an nda thing in our opinion
41:00
it would be covered under nda if he was just like
41:03
i had completed a script for half-life
41:07
uh two episode three and that's all he says that seems like
41:12
an nda style thing him actually releasing all the content does not seem
41:16
like an nda protected action
41:21
i mean ndas can be written pretty broadly though yeah
41:25
you can you can ride in nda so what right but what we're saying is like
41:30
um people are saying that the nda has lifted because he hasn't worked there
41:33
for a year so he's released this content
41:37
not being a employee of valve anymore
41:40
and people are saying that he's fine because the nda lifted
41:44
does that make any sense uh
41:48
it does okay sorry if i seem a little bit confused
41:53
you seem very confused well no it's it's more that um i don't i can't really
41:57
think of a reason why that wouldn't make sense honestly
42:01
okay so if i work at Linus tech tips and
42:04
we make a series of videos called scrapyard wars
42:08
and we make scrapbook works it's hypothetical here we make scrapyard wars
42:11
episode seven and ed finishes editing them but then
42:15
Linus hates me so fires me and doesn't
42:18
want to release the episodes anymore because it wants nothing to do with me and i have all the copies of the
42:22
episodes and i released them somewhere else because my nda expired how does
42:26
that make any sense uh well you're covering different things
42:31
with an nda versus just
42:34
a separate agreement saying that you don't own copyright in it but this is
42:38
this is content like did you actually see the post
42:42
i read the bullet points below it no yeah no this is what he released okay
42:46
which is like the script so he like changed the well it's like it's a letter
42:50
from one character to another and the names and places have been changed but
42:54
it's extremely obvious but like gordon freeman is uh what uh gerta something
43:02
dirty fremont yeah
43:05
or frement or something
43:09
so wouldn't the storyline be considered ip and wouldn't that be covered
43:12
separately from
43:16
an nda you could cover it under both anytime
43:21
there's no i don't see a reason you couldn't do that so
43:28
so do you think it's possible that he's off the hook here
43:31
is he in trouble with valve is valve no one knows no one knows yet
43:36
we're trying to figure out if he's in trouble with valve yeah
43:39
i feel like valve wouldn't construct their nda in a way that makes it so you
43:43
can just release whatever you worked on after you leave for a year i don't know
43:46
why anyone would ever do that that makes no sense
43:51
it could be but like i was saying you could it could be under it could be
43:55
covered under something else that isn't an nda so even if they say if they
43:59
structure something that says right but we're talking about if it's not covered
44:02
not if it is covered uh
44:06
okay so you're you're asking me if this
44:10
isn't covered by an nda yeah i'm not asking if it's
44:14
covered by other things because we don't know we don't know
44:18
there's no information about that at all all we know calculating what the likelihood is that he's okay here
44:25
based on what based on
44:28
because you're asking that he revealed the
44:32
plotline of something that he was working on at
44:35
valve and is therefore the intellectual property of valve
44:40
after leaving
44:46
i mean i have no way to say like it it
44:50
completely depends on like how much valve values this information so
44:54
and who knows if they do or not you know or were they you know were they actually
44:58
planning to release a sequel or not so
45:02
interesting okay i had thought uh
45:05
i had thought it'd be a little more open shut than that like well we're making some assumptions we're making
45:09
assumptions that valve is gonna aggressively
45:13
protect its intellectual property regardless of whether it mattered or not
45:18
uh because it sets kind of a bad precedent if they just let people walk away with this stuff well i mean
45:24
you're right in that it probably would be considered ip like you're you're you
45:29
are probably right about that but like at the same time is if you're going to
45:32
sit here and ask oh how much trouble is he possibly in yeah
45:37
impossible to say it really depends on what valve wants to do so yeah all right
45:41
thank you yep
45:44
so so it sounds like we weren't that far off we were just making kind of a
45:48
different set of assumptions about how we think valve would behave yeah that
45:52
may or may not be right so we're just gonna have to wait and see
45:55
how this one shakes out according to apparently um he has
46:01
released a tweet i don't know where it went i lost the
46:06
click sure why don't you have a look while i jump in and talk about the vega
46:09
shortage okay so this was originally posted over on videocards.com
46:15
and actually there's a post by coaxial gamer over on the forum and the original
46:19
article there is from pcgamesn.com
46:22
but apparently the vega shortage could last until october in spite of AMD's
46:27
efforts to keep rx vega prices low
46:32
so uh this is from video cards according to
46:35
well-informed sources of digi times you should not expect to find rx vega in
46:41
stores at least at a normal price until october while AMD promised to prepare a
46:46
high to prepare a high volume of rx vega graphics cards for launch the reality
46:50
was that many countries apparently did not receive a single unit of the new
46:54
flagship card the problem allegedly lies in the
46:58
complexity of the vega chips other sources claim that this issue may lie in
47:02
advanced semiconductor engineering packaging technology if i had to guess and this would be pure
47:07
speculation i would say it probably has a lot to do with hbm too and
47:12
maybe not necessarily even the amount of hbm2 that AMD can buy
47:18
but possibly as much as that
47:21
to do with AMD simply not wanting to buy that much hbm2 right
47:27
now because right now they're one of the only ones using it
47:30
so if they put in a massive order they would themselves inherently spike the
47:35
pricing of something that is a very limited commodity and that just you can
47:39
i mean anyone can look at this on dram exchange something that went up
47:43
drastically in price in the couple of weeks before rx vegas official launch
47:49
so if i was AMD i would be probably trying to ride it
47:52
out until another competitor starts building hbm2 which is supposedly going
47:56
to happen fairly soon and i would be um
48:00
yeah like i wouldn't be going out of my way to produce a bunch of cards that i'm
48:04
maybe not even making money on
48:07
i'm just i'm speculating though yeah that's fair
48:10
uh one thing i want to add i found i found the tweet he tweeted saying my website's down for
48:15
now i guess a fanfic is popular even a
48:18
gender-swapped snapchat snapshot of a dream i had many years ago
48:24
so is that him backpedaling on i don't even know how because he
48:30
wants to be is he forward pedal at all or did the internet just freak out maybe
48:34
i don't know yeah it could be a case i kind of think it's probably
48:39
fairly not a big deal and i'm gonna make
48:43
another wild assumption based on no information um because fake news is
48:46
really fun rancho man um but my idea here is that it's on his own website his
48:52
pinned tweet is him trying to sell books that he's written he's trying to sell
48:55
books that he's written an easy way to get a whole bunch of traffic to his website which did happen
49:00
and to get more interest around him and his books is so if it happened on the thing that
49:05
he if it legitimately had nothing to do with any kind of planet valve
49:09
then i think it's fine because i believe fanfic is like okay
49:14
i think you're allowed to do that and letting the internet go full conspiracy
49:17
theory is a great marketing tactic i don't know
49:21
how long interesting took until he clarified it right
49:26
i like your new theory i like that one the most um okay in
49:30
other news uh this was from pcgamesn.com
49:34
AMD says they're trying to keep prices of rx vega low though so after the price
49:39
is inflated after launch AMD now says it's trying its best to get those prices
49:43
to where we suggested when we launched them
49:46
so their AMD's gerald youngblood says our sep so that's suggested prices and
49:51
the price tag that we announced is our full intention of where we would suggest the product be priced not just for
49:55
launch but ongoing they said the price surge due to overwhelming demand and
49:59
that the filling of retailers inventory is key to getting the prices of vega
50:02
down to their original pre-launch levels um
50:06
yeah that makes sense uh but again so we're looking at AMD having to um having
50:13
to put pressure on retailers which a lot of the time manifests as like a rebate or something
50:18
and you know that whole thing broke a little while ago we expressed our
50:21
frustration with yeah yeah again this is more evidence for
50:27
AMD not really having um much motivation
50:31
to provide as much vega as they possibly can right now
50:36
because here's what you guys need to understand AMD
50:40
does not profit from the mining craze and from
50:44
the prices being jacked up 200 on the shelf the retailer and or the
50:51
opportunistic reseller who runs out to a store
50:54
whenever they find it at regular price and then flips it on ebay they profit
50:58
AMD doesn't want that because they're effectively creating a bunch of hate in
51:02
their community and a bunch of anger and they don't even get to make more money
51:06
out of it yeah so you so you shouldn't really think about this emotionally you
51:10
have to think about it rationally it's it's not in AMD's best interest
51:15
unless they are actually raising the price of the product which is going to
51:19
piss everyone off to have the street price be high
51:23
um so you know
51:26
i've talked to them um i can't share everything that was shared with me but
51:30
i'll say benefit of the doubt um i still
51:33
and you can go back and watch last week's wine show if you want to know what i'm upset about i'm still upset
51:37
about pretty much all of it AMD could have done a way better job of
51:41
communicating the way that they were handling this launch pricing because if
51:46
they had told me that it was going to be through rebates i would have known that the entire thing
51:51
was going to be a cluster and this is okay so this is a situation where like
51:54
i've never been on the other end so i don't know there's unknown
51:57
variables here but sometimes the communication stuff that happens
52:03
directed towards us from a wide variety of companies i'm not even going to
52:06
narrow down to AMD right now is just
52:09
very not good yeah and it doesn't seem that hard
52:14
well it seems hard when
52:17
you make things hard on yourself
52:20
so a lot of the miscommunication around vega had to do with that they originally
52:24
were going to just lift the embargo on vega 64 the flagship card and then at
52:28
the last second decided to lift the embargo on 56. don't do that right but
52:33
think about it this way it's not the people who are actually in
52:37
the trenches with NVIDIA card in their right hand and upcoming AMD card in
52:41
their left hand testing them against each other
52:44
who like actually know how this whole thing's going to shake down and how the press is going to react to it
52:49
it's not those people making the decision unfortunately it's probably
52:52
some executive making the decision and then ultimately and i told you so moment
52:57
that takes place once the hardware is already in the hands of the reviewers
53:01
and they get some initial feedback that hey this isn't going to be a super positive
53:05
review because hey vega 64 is
53:09
not crazy competitive like it's it's not a game changer guys um
53:14
so some some executive who's in la la land
53:18
probably got that feedback and mate was like okay fine let's do it your way
53:23
let's launch the one that actually makes sense vega 56 at the same time so we
53:27
don't end up with a bunch of negative press to lose our momentum that's probably how it went down and i'm
53:31
speculating i told you guys i had a call with AMD that was definitely not
53:35
confirmed or talked about but that's what i would guess went on
53:41
and that's how these things keep happening because it was the same bloody thing with ryzen 7.
53:45
originally they were going to roll out the skus two weeks apart and then the
53:48
last second they're like oh no we're lifting the embargo on all of them and
53:51
only a handful of press actually got them all so they couldn't get them to us
53:56
someone in the chat was like okay i don't i don't know where the message is so i'm gonna verbatim this and i'm gonna
54:00
get a little bit of it wrong sorry but someone in the chat says something along
54:04
the lines of um yeah but you were just blinded by wanting the profits of
54:09
releasing the video on launch day
54:13
i don't think that's valid personally i wasn't a part of the video creation
54:17
process for that but from my view
54:20
i don't think it's being blinded when to be able to see that you would
54:24
have had to make extremely wild drastic assumptions that wouldn't have made any
54:29
sense in the moment um yeah and it has that would have been
54:33
very a very weird thing to assume here's the thing is i think people
54:36
underestimate how much profit there is in having a video up um
54:41
a day or two earlier for us the main issue from what i heard yeah and like
54:45
again the reason why i keep on putting this in is because i'm actually outside of the circle but the main issue that i
54:50
heard was that we had a completed video
54:53
yeah we did that would have been a problem if we released yeah because now
54:57
there was new information so we were correcting a problem we were we were
55:00
completely done our vega 64 launch video
55:04
with the air-cooled and the liquid-cooled card someone says LTT is
55:07
totally sell-out we do sponsor spots yeah we do ads we work with companies
55:12
but we are very transparent when we do so yep and that has not wanting to
55:16
repeat work that you've done because someone else made a terrible last minute
55:20
decision that screws you over i think it's a perfectly reasonable stance yeah
55:25
and as for getting content out on launch day
55:28
honestly we don't make a bunch more money for doing that um a youtube view
55:33
is not worth nearly as much as you might think in terms of monetary value so yeah
55:37
we'll get a few more views but for me it's more about
55:41
making sure that we're perceived as a place that you go when you go and get
55:46
like graphics card news about a new card that launches and
55:50
if you know let's say let's say
55:53
we weren't able to bring people in on the weekend if our video goes up and it's just vegas
55:58
64 and everyone else's video or written review goes up and it's vega 56 and
56:02
vegas 64 it makes us look stupid and we don't want that and we shouldn't
56:07
have to work through the weekend in order to do that companies should be
56:10
respectful of our time and our schedules and the fact that we have lives and kids
56:14
and other things we have to deal with um
56:17
that's the issue what about likes are they worth more
56:20
profit no likes are worth nothing exactly zero
56:25
um some guys said luke likes negative comments uh
56:28
they can be helpful because if someone's thinking those
56:32
things genuinely it's good to address it and uh help them understand that they're
56:36
wrong absolutely um okay this was posted originally on
56:39
the forum by james had like an hour to throw together
56:43
the dock today so i don't blame him for it not being there numlock21 yeah no and
56:46
the original article here is from tom's hardware AMD has gone into a little bit
56:49
more detail about their epic and Threadripper chip designs uh claiming a 41
56:56
cost reduction which would actually account for the difference in price
56:59
between AMD's 16 core chip and Intel's yeah
57:03
which is pretty cool so they decided to go with um like this modular design
57:08
versus a monolithic design because even
57:12
though the modular design because of the interconnects is ten percent
57:16
higher in cost so ten percent more die space
57:19
apparently it saves so many failures
57:22
allowing them to alright save so many failures that they can just take higher
57:27
yield ones and quote-unquote glue them together
57:30
that they actually reduce their cost by they estimate 41 that's pretty freaking
57:34
cool that is actually very cool and that's
57:38
very good for them specifically yeah to be honest and good for the consumer need
57:42
to be making money so that they can actually keep doing things they like
57:46
super do uh amazon has made its first big move
57:49
with whole foods the original article here is from bloomberg um
57:55
i want prime members to get discounts at whole foods so you can pay
58:00
just a uh less inflated price for
58:04
groceries and paper bags instead of plastic bags because you're a giant
58:08
hipster not that i'm judging i've shopped at whole foods
58:13
they also plan to make prime the customer rewards program at whole foods
58:17
and products from whole foods private label 365 will be available on amazon
58:21
they have not yet indicated a time frame for all these changes i technically have
58:24
never shopped there but i've shopped at the like
58:28
the like langley alternative oh okay yeah yeah
58:32
it's um it's it's so it's so funny it's obvious it smells like health food the
58:36
structure of it is very much like a um
58:40
like a chain clothing store like a hollister i think is the one that always
58:43
smells like cedar wood is it hollister i don't know i don't i
58:46
don't know which clothing stores but um you know how you walk in remember the
58:50
last time i was in a mall and they like feel really unique
58:53
and then you go to another one of the same store somewhere else and it's exactly
58:57
the same flavor of totally unique where it's this very um
59:02
contrived yeah uh you know we do this
59:05
totally differently than everybody else so uh yeah no i shopped at whole foods i
59:10
think i've been there twice okay uh once because it was the only thing within
59:13
walking distance of my hotel yeah and another time because i really needed an
59:17
ice cream bar and i bought the only
59:20
like with fat with dairy with gluten ice
59:24
cream bar in the whole store actually no i think it was gluten-free by the way if
59:27
you're in vancouver i believe this weekend or maybe only for one specific
59:31
day but look it up uber is like coming here now
59:35
to vancouver finally and i believe they're showing up by doing free ice
59:40
cream bar deliveries oh so but i think it's only in vancouver
59:44
sick i don't think they're doing all uber all the way out here if they are
59:47
doing uber all the way out here i am getting my free ice cream bar
59:50
actually even if not i might just like go down there to get a free ice cream
59:55
bar because i'm going down there on saturday anyways what else do we have uh
59:58
this is from bloomberg apple reported to unveil a new apple tv that'll be faster
60:04
4k HDR video blippitybloppity pixel 2 is coming
60:09
october 5th rumor rumor rumor originally posted by techcrunch
60:14
and um yep it looks like a phone
60:19
it looks like a phone it looks like a pixel it it has a thing here that's kind
60:24
of pixely yeah the bezels are smaller a lot smaller yep way smaller
60:30
snapdragon 836
60:33
could have front-facing speakers i love that note that's my favorite note from
60:37
today apparently a two to one aspect ratio
60:40
okay i know that mathematically there's no reason
60:44
to call um uh what is it yeah to call 16 by 10 16
60:49
by 10. right you could just as easily call it eight by five
60:54
but for the sake of making life a little
60:57
easier i kind of wish everyone would go like by nine
61:01
since we all know what 16 by nine is
61:04
yeah but what what is a two to one aspect
61:08
ratio so that would be 18 by nine i guess yeah eighteen by nine but the fact
61:13
that i have to convert it all the time is going to drive me crazy to be fair
61:16
this probably affects almost no one but you so there's some rumors but i do
61:21
understand where you're coming from uh 4.97 inch 1080p display for the smaller
61:25
one with a six inch on the larger xl
61:28
apparently it'll be provided by lg it'll support uh it'll sport four gigs of RAM
61:33
on board internal storage might get boosted to 64 gigs
61:36
and uh it's probably got a great camera it might
61:40
there's a lot of like it could it might yeah uh there's a it might drop the
61:45
headphone port but like might have front-facing speakers
61:49
it might have squeezable sides it might have bluetooth
61:53
well it might be able to connect to the internet okay
61:57
we don't know maybe they're going with the
62:00
world's first modern smartphone without the internet
62:05
wi-fi hotspot only i think we're probably done with this one and thank
62:09
you for watching show we will see you again next week same bat time same bat
62:13
chat oh spacex photos of the new spacesuit are actually super cool have
62:17
you seen these fine you can do that i know i'm a fan boy but like they're pretty neat
62:21
um all right fine we'll look at the new spacesuits these aren't the ones that i
62:24
saw these aren't as cool oh they're still pretty cool
62:30
those don't look that amazing no where's the cool ones those are just space suits
62:33
where's the cool ones yeah i think you're just i think you're done i think
62:38
that's the wrong article that is the wrong article okay here's the right
62:42
article dang it james for throwing this together in an hour and screwing up one
62:46
thing so far it also doesn't have the other photo whatever
62:50
let's talk about Floatplane stuff yeah Floatplane not dead not dead definitely
62:56
not dead doing great actually you had a meeting really today people were cool
63:01
thanks for showing up guys at work on Floatplane uh outdoor gaming the
63:05
ultimate camping battle station i think we need a new thumbnail for this one
63:09
that makes it more clear that we are in the middle of a forest gaming on like a
63:12
freaking awesome gaming pc
63:16
see mezzanine update i forgot to upload that i did at the last minute there this
63:20
is a really cool video i think a lot of you will like it
63:23
we designed the ultimate gaming tv have you seen this have you heard about this
63:28
no so um alex and i worked on this together and we basically conceptualized
63:34
what uh what a perfect tv for gamers
63:37
would be and this is just a couple of we've
63:41
probably got somewhere between six and ten features
63:44
that tv makers for whatever reason have their heads too far up their exactly i
63:49
heard about one of the features okay so one of them was an integrated um
63:54
what's that stupid thing called that you have that um uh analog to digital converter
64:00
what's that thing called again frame meister the framemeister so is it
64:03
actually a framemeister so think about it think about this it doesn't have to be
64:08
no as long as it was something quite
64:11
similar so the framemeister actually here we're no okay we got the
64:15
framemeister's probably like a little too overkill for most yes so it costs
64:18
about 400 for a framemeister which is this
64:21
external box that takes your analog source like a super nintendo or
64:25
playstation one and converts it to HDMI
64:29
with next to no latency because as you may or may not have noticed your tv if it takes
64:34
in an analog source does a couple of things number one is even compared to
64:38
its normal input lag it adds even more light
64:42
and number two is it does a crap-tastic
64:45
job of the conversion it'll look like garbage so the framemeister does a great
64:50
job of both of those things at 400
64:54
it's a lot it's a lot but when you look at a premium tv you look at the bomb
64:58
cost of a premium tv we're talking like five six seven thousand us dollars
65:02
is it unreasonable to think a couple of things number one
65:06
that by cheaping out on some stuff we don't care about like how thin it is
65:10
that they could find some of that cost to spend on good analog to digital
65:15
conversion and number two that they could achieve economies of scale that
65:18
would make a framemeister cost a lot less it's not expensive hardware really
65:22
aren't that many framemeisters that's one of the reasons why they're so expensive exactly
65:26
so anyway that was one of the ideas so retro gamers could game on their new tv
65:32
and have a not crap experience um so we've got a bunch of other ideas um a
65:36
modular system for the speakers yeah that's the one thing i had heard about
65:40
so you can take them off they just clip on and they have like just contacts that
65:44
go or you could take them off reposition them run speaker wire and then you could
65:47
add like the rest of the kit or something like that um DisplayPort in was one of
65:52
the things we asked for so there's a bunch of stuff a lot of which would be
65:56
very low cost to implement um a return to front i o
66:02
right yeah like come on bring back front i o is
66:05
nice i don't mind a little chin bar you know give me and so front uh front usb
66:10
charging ports for controllers um for like uh
66:15
vr accessories things like that so there's just a bunch of stuff we came
66:18
up with we designed what we think is a gaming tv and we would love for the tv
66:22
industry to you know maybe wake the crap up
66:27
we took a look at the first all AMD gaming pc from dell
66:31
it's like taped onto the side well yeah but there's an actual chip inside too
66:35
that was for illustrative purposes
66:38
that's awesome how many PCIe extensions is too many
66:42
and the answer is a lot was it still working then you bet oh my god um
66:48
that's crazy organization vlog day one wow we've actually got a lot of good
66:51
stuff on here right now cool the last uh last week i think it was i wasn't that
66:55
enamored with a lot of it organization vlog day one so this is basically a
66:59
return to moving vlog this was
67:03
what i watched the trailer for this yeah there's a trailer there's a have you not
67:07
seen the trailer in the trailer we should play the trailer oh my goodness
67:10
okay give me one second i will get the trailer is it on facebook or something
67:14
nick send it to me what okay yeah forward it to me in the meantime
67:18
um what else do we got i think there's at least one other like pretty pretty
67:22
cool one uh let me just make sure that there's
67:25
anything in here that we don't there was another one that i thought people were
67:28
gonna like i don't know if we're allowed to share this allowed to share the
67:32
trailer i guess you own the company so yeah okay yeah sure let's let's share it
67:36
sick let's just let's just straight up yolo it um
67:40
okay hang out to me well cool
67:44

67:53
don't know if i've got sound over HDMI right now i don't know if you guys are
67:56
going to hear any of this um so i apologize in advance if
68:00
everything is the audio is super helpful is it okay i'm just going to turn up the
68:05
speakers we're going the janky way yeah
68:09
all right all right here we go because this is great
68:12
okay here we go on the screen let's get rid of us we're
68:16
boring yep i mean we're cool that we're not as cool as this apparently
68:36
people get this perception that i'm like some kind of like nazi mean boss
68:44
watch now on Floatplane so yeah that's actually super sick who
68:49
did that uh that was a prime oh cool as
68:52
far as i know that is a dank af editor so if you want
68:56
us what that trailer results in yeah that's on floor
69:01
plan right now go check it out yeah and there's gonna be three episodes of uh a
69:06
new moving vlog so organization vlog uh over the next over the next few weeks
69:11
yeah and uh now's as good a time as any to sign up for Floatplane because don't
69:14
forget guys that scrapyard wars season six will also be coming one week early
69:20
to Floatplane so yes it's gonna be good yes all right see you guys again next
69:23
week same bad time same bat channel thank you for watching
69:28
we'll see you next time i'm gonna fix this thing before i get confused next
69:31
week there we go cool
69:42
what was that day can you scroll back up
