0:57
oh there we go being on time was the
1:00
most exciting thing that happened to me this week that was amazing being on time was
1:05
not at all the most exciting thing that happened to me this week unfortunately I'm sorry scrapyard Wars
1:12
man scrapyard Wars scrapyard Wars was sick lonus who isn't here thinks that it
1:18
thank you Taran
1:22
uh uh lonus thinks that it might be the best season yet I'm not sure because
1:28
season 4 was pretty freaking amazing uh that was the one with Bob and Rod yeah
1:33
but uh we'll see cuz it was it was very good the ending was really intense some
1:38
really crazy things happened but I'm going to try to not spoil uh any of it
1:42

2:22
that while I read the first topic uh
2:25
sort of but I can't show it on my yes I can show it on my screen oh crap okay
2:30
I'm just going to go ahead and get started then um reddit.com the build a
2:34
PC subreddit got lzed today yes as you
2:39
can probably oh that's being covered up ah there we go yes so Dynamic scenes so
2:44
lius was made into a deity with some of our usual sponsors on his robes as you
2:49
can see um so epic and this was funny because there was a sticky announcement
2:54
uh discouraging April Fool's pranks on the Forum yes and then this happened so
3:00
there we go you can see it right there H
3:03
I appreciated the the sidebar add in if we scroll down and go see the
3:07
sidebar um this subreddit is a community
3:11
dedicated to our one true God Linus crossed out tals Sebastion and then in
3:17
Brackets Luke fans also welcome here so
3:20
so if he's the one true God what would that make you well it's it's three parts
3:25
right oh so Christian try so there's like like gabin lusas question or wait I
3:31
guess in this weird situation because usually G Ben is the original but that's
3:35
fine keep talking uh gab L of Sebastian
3:39
me I guess there go is what they're displaying in this situation okay
3:43
usually usually I think I'm I'm not included but that's fine how sad for you
3:48
yeah okay yeah the hot Canadian thing as
3:51
well the hot Canadian thing that made that yeah okay let's find that real
3:55
quick so it it even shows in the top Corner as theore
4:00
which I find funny but yeah top thread right now hot Canadian if you vote this
4:04
up this image will show when you Google Search hot Canadian if you click on it
4:09
it's lonus at CES like a while ago I
4:13
struggling you want to move our feet out of way yeah good call wow that was not
4:17
what I intended to do what oh no oh no
4:21
xit crashing xplit is doing bad things
4:24
oh I can fix it we have the technology
4:27
good job it's still lagging okay we've got it we're going to float in the
4:31
middle of the screen for a sec sounds good I'm
4:34
down no it switched which sources what
4:38
that is so weird I'm moving the wrong Source but it's like working and anyways
4:43
cool there we go that was funny anyways
4:47
that's basically it I think there's also one other April Fool's out that wasn't
4:53
ours uh which was Corsair's I didn't even see no NVIDIA's is NVIDIA actually
4:59
live let me take off my scene for a
5:02
second uh this one was really funny it's April
5:06
fools in England G assist pass not they up yeah
5:10
so this is live okay so GeForce G assist
5:14
you can see the video playing in the background right now I'm going to move us again um what it it it does a lot of
5:21
different stuff they're saying that the GeForce GTX G assist takes advantage of
5:26
Cutting Edge Invidia artificial intelligence technology to bring the
5:29
next revolution in gaming uh stay in the
5:32
game so you can like eat in a Rainbow Six Siege match um and it'll like play
5:39
for you is part of the idea it's kind of like the um that old um urban legend
5:44
about the uh dude that bought the RV and he thought that cruise control meant it
5:48
would drive itself so he went in the back to like do his business and bad
5:53
things happened things happen yeah uh crush your enemies that'll like play for
5:57
you uh like sorry boss boost that part
6:00
will play for you envy nurture will tell you when you need to like drink more
6:04
energy drinks or whatever just it is
6:08
ridiculous this thing was pretty cool and it's just like a little flash drive
6:12
mhm I think we've all been at the point at at the point to be fair where we've
6:16
had to be told to drink energy drinks so
6:20
really when have you been told to drink energy drinks no
6:24
comment oh jeez okay I need to fix this thing
6:29
really quick which is actually like going to be a huge issue yeah why is it
6:33
doing that did that just happen again I don't know why it did that well I didn't
6:36
fix it the first time uh do you want to talk about the YouTube ad thing sure
6:40
okay so while Luke gets his horrible login issues fixed um next topic
6:46
YouTube's response to Advertiser flight cost creators hundreds of Brands froze
6:50
spending on YouTube after it was revealed that as reping alongside
6:54
objectionable and even terrorist fact videos yeah so this is not just limited
7:00
to YouTube um apparently companies like
7:03
Walmart and Pepsi so some pretty Heavy Hitters they said they they're not going
7:07
to buy ads anymore that Google Google Places on thirdparty websites and
7:12
Verizon has also said that it was going to suspend All Digital advertising not
7:15
related to search so obviously Google wants to try to do something about this
7:19
and so there are new filters that are now on YouTube that advertisers can
7:24
apply to campaigns that will help them avoid several types of quote unquote
7:28
objectionable content uh so there used to just be two filter
7:32
categories um that if you were putting an ad on YouTube um that you could
7:36
exclude one was called sensitive social issues and the other was called tragedy
7:42
and conflicts but there's now three more including sexually suggestive
7:46
Sensational and shocking while that's a lot of swws and profanity and rough
7:51
language and I'm doing the quotes because it's exactly how it was written on my screen uh so that's a little bit
7:58
um obviously there's some area there uh
8:01
so reportedly some channels that just touch on somewhat sensitive or slightly
8:06
offensive topics are being impacted by this um Ruben report uh h3h3 uh Ethan if
8:12
you know him um Steven Crowder who's a conserv conservative talk show host um
8:17
and several others so what are your thoughts on this Luke I don't know I
8:22
like it's it's not H it gets it gets a little messy
8:28
because like were in the space I feel like it would be a lot easier for me to
8:32
comment on it if it wasn't like our platform that we use and like our going
8:37
to put this video on eventually uh and the announcement is up like right now
8:41
for this stream on YouTube like uh I
8:44
don't know um it's it's a mixture of
8:48
things I can completely understand the companies that do not want to advertise
8:53
on terrorist backed YouTube channels I can completely understand the companies
8:57
that don't want their products associated with certain types of content
9:03
and I can completely understand YouTube making systems so that they don't have
9:07
to have their ads on certain types of content there's a reason why really late
9:13
night TV shows like shows that are on at like 1 or two in the morning get the
9:17
like crazy ads because the other shows
9:22
probably wouldn't even necessarily want to be associated with those ads it goes
9:25
both ways yeah like well yeah on like traditional TV if you to take out an ad
9:30
spot you would know like oh here's what this show is here's like the show is
9:33
rating you would buy an ad spot on the Super Bowl exactly and it would go on
9:37
the Super Bowl and you you know what's going to happen football except for that
9:41
one incident with Janet Jackson but other than that like you know what
9:45
you're getting so but but like that was an issue and like that's knowing what
9:50
content your ad is going to go on matters now the the issue with it is how
9:58
the Filter Works yeah and what what channels are
10:01
completely innocent and get flagged and therefore make tons of less money at the
10:06
same time it's YouTube this isn't like a government thing they can do whatever
10:10
they want YouTube could kill AdSense tomorrow M yeah they're they're under
10:14
suck yeah they're under no obligation um at least for now like to offer it just
10:18
to all comers you know um and and obviously this gets into like the
10:23
age-old question of oh who gets to decide what's okay and what's not like
10:26
obviously that's the scary part yeah and obviously you know oh if there's like an
10:30
Isis recruitment video or something then yes don't advertise on that that's a
10:34
little bit more cut and dry but like for example I I mentioned Steven Crowder a
10:38
minute ago and according to Mr Crowder he was saying that his channel is being
10:43
targeted by this but he's saying that liberal commentary channels are not and
10:49
regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum and if any of you
10:53
guys follow me on Twitter you might know I have a policy I don't tweet like what
10:57
my personal political views are I just that's just something I don't want to do
11:00
um but regardless what side of the aisle you're on um there are a lot of
11:04
commentators um both conservative and liberal that have an abrasive style
11:09
that's part of like their stick like like you said both sides ex exactly like
11:13
like Crowder is a conservative guy who part of his whole deal is I'm going to
11:17
come off as abrasive I think my viewers will like it but there are folks on the
11:21
left wing that do this too so what if he what he's saying is true then you know
11:25
you have to start wondering where do we draw this line as far as being
11:29
objectionable and outside of just concerns about fairness you also think
11:32
about oh if you're an Advertiser and
11:36
where where the advertisers along when would they say oh we're not happy about
11:40
getting our videos excluded like where do you find that balance yeah that's
11:44
that's difficult to do and then then there's the case for h3h3 where they're
11:48
like a comedy focused style Channel and
11:53
for them to get excluded is scary for people in comedy because it brings up
11:58
the whole like like one thing I actually thought up thought of while I was sitting here was I brought up the like
12:02
late night TV show idea South Park doesn't that show it like very normal
12:07
times I think it's I could be wrong about this I think it's now slightly
12:12
earlier than it used to be maybe some of you guys in the chat who were South Park
12:15
fans can tell us but I believe I don't have TV yet yeah it used to be on at
12:19
like I think 10 p.m. Eastern on Comedy Central and in the US I'm PR late yeah
12:25
they it might be earlier now because when it first came out you know people's
12:30
sensitivities were a little bit it was like oh my God this is like so well it's
12:33
not even that it's gotten like less racy it's just more that people seem to like
12:37
not care as much now because back then it was like oh my God this is like so shocking and nowadays it's just like oh
12:42
South Park whatever so yeah I don't know it's for comedy it's it's an issue
12:46
because uh there's the like if anything can be made fun of
12:51
everything should be able to make be made fun of kind of ideology which is
12:54
funny because they brought that up on South Park it's either all okay or none of it is yeah exactly and like I I
12:59
usually kind of go in that camp but then as an Advertiser I can see why you might
13:04
not want to and where do you draw the lines are all comedians in that bucket
13:09
do you have comedy as a bucket and not all ads go on Comedy or is it like
13:13
different types of Comedy if H yeah it's
13:17
ultimately I think it kind of comes down to the fact that a lot of people who
13:21
aren't like technophiles will be watching a YouTube video they might not
13:25
like they see an ad coming up and they don't understand like oh here's how
13:28
YouTube AdSense works works the videos are just kind of put randomly on other
13:33
videos the advertisers don't get a lot of say as as to what they go on but
13:37
people don't realize this and they'll start screaming anyway and I can so I can see why that will be a problem for
13:41
advertisers I sort of wish people just didn't
13:45
care like I feel like that would just be a lot easier for everyone sure I wish
13:49
people would startop would stop aggressively screeching about things too but I also want to toilet me the solid
13:53
gold so not going to happen yeah H I
13:57
don't know I'm I'm
14:01
I just wish it didn't matter so much like I I and I could totally see that
14:05
one person who sends an email to whatever company because they're like oh
14:09
I misclicked on this video and it's against My Views and I saw your ad on it
14:13
so I hate you and I'm never going to buy your products again but like just settle
14:16
down exact extremely quick aside because I know we have to move on if you ever go
14:20
onto the fcc's website they have a section um for public comment and
14:25
usually it's for people who are kind of at least familiar with regulations of
14:29
the law and they kind of give a somewhat informed opinion on stuff they're
14:33
thinking about doing but if you look at the stuff that specifically relates to
14:37
like decency and content or whatever it's just full of the most like
14:42
aggressive people who like clearly know nothing about how it works like this
14:48
sort of content is so bad get it off my TV so yeah and there's a lot of people
14:52
like that so yeah um apparently there used to be two filter categories
14:56
sensitive subject oh I went over this already okay unless did you talk about
14:59
the new ones uh yes I did yeah okay yeah uh YouTube has two statements did you
15:03
mention those uh they said there's a difference between the free exp
15:08
expression that lives on YouTube and that's very too too that's very true um
15:13
and the content that brands have told us they want to advertise a g so yeah I get
15:17
that if you're seeing fluctuations in your ad Revenue that's for us over the
15:22
next few weeks it may be because we're fine-tuning our ad systems
15:27
so yeah I don't know uh it's it's I'd be
15:31
interested if you could see like both Paths of the future to see which one
15:35
actually results in Less ad revenue on
15:38
YouTube you know what I mean because some channels might get completely axed
15:43
in terms of AD Revenue some channels might only get certain types of ads
15:47
because they're creating filters right so some companies should could be like
15:50
we don't care throw it on everything right um maybe some market research will
15:54
happen at one point or or at some point sorry and we'll get to yeah and but like
15:58
like the toal amount of money being invested into YouTube ads will this
16:01
potentially make it go up CU people are like oh okay we can filter more
16:05
aggressively that sounds like a better advertising revenue for us or will it go
16:10
down because they're aing too many things I guess it depends on like who the consumer base is for that company
16:14
you know obviously you have a company like Walmart and a company like Razer
16:18
their consumer bases are completely different so yeah anyways moving on to
16:23
more Tech related subjects because there's probably twitch chat screams
16:27
about that currently uh Ash of the singularity reses reses wow I can't talk
16:32
today happy I did those techque episodes earlier with a z oh yeah that sort of
16:37
worked out receives ryzen performance update up to
16:42
31% Improvement actually freaking epic
16:46
we're going to jump to the extreme Tech article this was posted on the Forum by
16:50
hk5 I'm also going to post this in the twitch chat I forgot that I like sort of
16:54
had to do things while I'm on the show that aren't just only talking all the
16:59
time H giant advertisement in my face
17:02
make that go away jump over to the screen there we go Ash The Singularity
17:07
massive boost it's pretty cool I'm not surprised it's ashes of all things like
17:12
it's barely even a game it it's it's essentially A Benchmark with gameplay
17:16
elements let's let's I want I want to try something out let's go to
17:20
Twitch uh that's our channel.tv but not
17:24
that I want to search up ashes on twitch's playing it right now see if
17:28
there's anyone playing
17:37
it games WAN Show
17:41
yes no channels currently
17:44
live I just I yeah I don't know well
17:48
that's uncomfortable it just it's like it's and it's a wonderful Benchmark I
17:53
love it it's a great Benchmark I just I don't I don't I don't personally know
17:58
anyone let's do a straw poll let's let's do a straw poll I want to see if there's
18:01
anyone who's actually like played through not not just like started a game
18:06
I want I want someone who's like played through the whole thing let's do a straw
18:11
pole have you played through want to check out more of the notes on ash
18:15
Singularity absolutely so while luk is working on
18:19
the straw pole um AMD cided Intel optimization as the biggest reason that
18:25
the ryzen chips uh weren't blowing things out of the water on 1080p Gam
18:28
ging tasks um so we have a game in ashes
18:32
which is uh publicly am I correct it's they're publicly in they publicly
18:36
announced it's optimized for AMD it's optimized for ryzen uh the performance
18:40
boosts are as we said significant up to 31% Improvement um 1.27 X performance
18:47
Improvement in GPU Focus Benchmark and a 12% boost in the CPU Focus Benchmark
18:51
nice mhm those are both really
18:54
significant but that GPU focused one is really intense yeah that's that is not a
19:00
small number and Bethesda has also pledged to work with AMD to improve game
19:04
performance in future titles and so really exciting yeah and so I guess
19:09
obviously that depends on what kind of system you have and what kind of games
19:12
you're into I mean it would be nice if oh the architectures were similar enough
19:16
to where you know you would get similar performance across the board but at the
19:20
same time you know we talk about one competition and we talk about okay we
19:25
want we want chips to have certain selling points and as long as devs can
19:30
optimize their games for either AMD or Intel that's going to be a selling point and I see you're very amused by the
19:34
straw pole no 94% a crushing victory for
19:38
the nose and there's probably a little bit of trolling going on with the yeses
19:41
too yeah like the I'm assuming I'm sure there are some that actually actually
19:46
did it but like I've never even clicked on the play button I've done a lot of
19:50
benchmarking in ashes It's a Wonderful Benchmark scales really well with
19:54
different things not surprised they got this update really quick love to see
19:57
them continuing on with different things their directx12 stuff was really cool to
20:01
play with I like that they have GPU and CPU focused I like that they have the
20:05
performance numbers for both so you can see what's throttling you and stuff it's
20:08
one wonderful Benchmark really really good really really like it um that
20:13
what's really exciting but what you were just talking about while I was messing
20:16
around doing stupid things uh is that that's going to be fun for us and that's
20:20
going to be fun for everyone that owns a ryzen chip because as these things go on
20:26
as a new game that comes out from Bethesda guess that's optimized for
20:29
ryzen will be able to see more advancements in the benchmarking
20:33
comparison because now individual game benchmarks that I used to do back in the
20:37
day will actually matter a lot more because instead of like oh the verses
20:42
between these systems well this one's 10% faster so every single game is 10%
20:47
faster on that system is give or take a little bit games specifically tuned with
20:52
ryzen in mind will do a lot better than just a backlog that all us reviewers
20:56
already had of games that didn't really have it in mind at at all and were made
20:59
for the Intel platform yeah if rizon undercuts Intel um as much as some folks
21:04
are predicting then it's going to continue to become a more attractive
21:08
platform for Dev so hopefully we'll see some more of this stuff and interesting
21:12
yeah absolutely I'm super stoked for that that's very cool that's that's in
21:16
my opinion cooler than the performance that came uh on launch which was already
21:21
like a really interesting story mhm moving on the Oculus co-founder Palmer
21:28
lucky leaves Facebook when asked uh if
21:32
Lucky's departure was voluntary Facebook Representatives declined to comment but
21:36
they cited a policy of not discussing internal personal matters or Personnel
21:41
matters sorry and I actually totally believe that it doesn't seem like
21:45
something they would necessarily hide they've been fairly transparent about
21:49
what's been going on there uh lucky willfully skipped the last Occulus
21:53
conference um after being a major personality at oc1 and oc2
21:58
yeah it's been a controversial thing for a while um because of his involvement
22:03
with Nimble America to be fair like Oculus was sold
22:08
for $2 billion he's a very wealthy dude
22:12
uh the $10,000 investment I is I believe what it was into Nimble America to like
22:17
make memes about Trump I don't think
22:20
that was a lot of money for him well as
22:23
I said a few minutes ago those of you who follow me on Twitter you will you
22:27
might know I do not discuss my personal political opinions and this kind of thing is why I don't have millions of
22:32
dollars to just give the causes but all the same I don't do it so yeah I like I
22:37
don't know the complete like all political
22:42
things aside I kind of feel bad for the dude M because like I'm really into VR
22:46
he did a lot of really amazing things for VR and now whether they are
22:51
commenting or not whether they made him leave or not I feel like he was kind of
22:56
squished out of that space yeah uh whether whether
22:59
through indirect pressure whether through direct pressure however it
23:04
happened we're probably not going to know either ever or not for a long time
23:08
even just cuz it was too public of a position yeah and I I I think he just
23:13
wanted to work on things and he was put
23:16
in a super public position and I don't feel like that was
23:21
uh I do not personally feel like that was the position that he personally
23:24
wanted to be in I have no idea cuz I'm not him but and there's a lot of people
23:29
who you know just aren't necessarily suited to wear both of those hats you
23:33
know you could be awesome at one thing but uh yeah that happens sometimes
23:38
unfortunate you know so and like from from talking to him in person from
23:41
reading some of his interviews from watching some of his interviews from
23:45
reading his own personal Reddit comments he didn't really like filtering like his
23:50
personal opinions and feelings and what not as like as most super public like
23:55
CEO kind of figures do uh so I don't
23:59
know maybe maybe he will enjoy his life
24:02
more now maybe this is a good thing for him I'm I'm sorry to see that he got
24:05
squished out of his space but if this was his move it might have been the
24:09
right one yeah I don't know yeah he he could go off and enjoy his billions not
24:12
a bad not a bad position to be in so I don't think he got all of that but like
24:16
I'm sure he's super wealthy multiple Millions yes yeah I'm sure he's very
24:20
very wealthy in other more funny news Sam a Samsung store caught fire the day
24:27
before uh gal the Galaxy S8 announcement
24:30
which is just sort of hilarious Tru is Stranger Than Fiction isn't it yeah I
24:34
don't even have anything like specific to even say about this but just LOL how
24:40
how does that happen like oh of course there's different
24:45
things this is a CNET video there it doesn't show the store after the fire
24:49
does it I will say they don't know what the cause of the fire is whether it was
24:53
exploding Electronics or something else but uh that would have been hilarious it
24:56
would have been but as of right now the official word is we don't know so but it
25:00
did happen yeah and this was pasted by hey yo on the Forum hey yo hey yo maybe
25:05
a Scot Hall fan for all those who remember him from the wrestling circuit anyway um I have no idea I am super
25:11
dating myself with that reference but I I don't have a clue what you're talking
25:14
about um Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy
25:17
I actually don't the Galaxy S8 and S8
25:21
plus um they have 3,000 Mah hour or 3500
25:25
Milah batteries as you'd probably expect
25:29
they have a rearm mounted fingerprint sensor as you'd probably expect they
25:32
have the Bigsby AI assistant with a dedicated button just in case you didn't
25:36
have enough AI assistants yet maybe you can cue them all up at the same time and
25:40
tell them all to do the same thing and maybe one of them will do it correctly
25:44
that would be a pretty interesting thing to do oh and the feature that they are
25:48
highlighting yeah let's see if I can actually find that on the site um
25:53
essentially they are touting the extensive safety testing their new
25:58
phones are going through as a feature so
26:02
I was saying earlier what A Brave New World we're living in where hey this
26:06
phone won't explode or has a lower likeliness to has a low likelihood of
26:12
explosion as a feature just let that sink in for a second hey your pants are
26:17
less likely to light on a fire so hopefully that's good and your car and
26:21
your house you know no big deal also it has an
26:25
18.5 by9 display which just straight up
26:29
pisses me off I don't even have a ton else to say outside of that no and and I
26:33
was at first glance I saw that and I was thinking oh maybe it's because they're
26:37
measuring how you know it's got the curve screen at the edge but that will
26:40
make it bigger the other way so I have no idea why hey let's let's add another
26:46
2.5 to the to to the to the to the ratio
26:49
just because why not so yeah I like it's so weird the LG G6 had an 18.9 aspect
26:57
ratio which is a little wonky but at least you've got that like 2 to one sort
27:00
of deal going on which is kind of cool
27:03
um they just had to add that .5 I feel I
27:07
feel like internally just because I it makes me dislike it so much I feel like
27:11
they're just trying to be like oh and artist has slightly more numbers and I'm
27:16
think yeah and I'm thinking oh they they could do that they could and I was sit
27:19
here thinking maybe that reduces down to a more common display ratio but I don't
27:24
believe it does it's not like the 2.35 to1 that they use like movies and stuff
27:28
it's not even that so it's just it's just strange the Galaxy S8 has a 5.8 in
27:34
display and the S8 plus has a 6.2 in
27:38
display each has a 2960 by 1440p pixel
27:44
resolution okay the S8 works out to 570
27:48
pixels per inch the S8 plus is 529 hence
27:52
the bigger screen same resolution lower PPI that's a lot of pixels per in Loop
27:57
it is that that that PP um I uh let's see here
28:03
I don't know the phone's right now
28:07
like I'm excited for the pixel 2 I don't
28:12
okay so there's another thing let's see if it's yeah it's right here special
28:15
Galaxy S8 Microsoft Edition to be sold in Microsoft stores and this is just so
28:21
ridiculous this is pretty bad I don't I don't even know what to say this was
28:24
posted by daring on the Forum who's a Floatplane pilot thanks dude
28:28
uh we're working on some really cool stuff that hopefully you will enjoy um
28:34
so Microsoft is unable to sell really their own mobile OS or that's what's
28:39
stated in here they really don't sell very many of them um so they're trying
28:43
to sell a customized version of the
28:47
S8 listen to this the phones are still running Android but with a number of
28:50
differences Cortana instead of Google Assistant offices pre-installed Outlook
28:55
instead of Gmail one drive instead of Google
28:59
Drive okay but did you did you did you tell
29:04
them did you mention the triple it yeah it doesn't say it in here but I'm going
29:08
to jump back to the notes of this part which is even better uh the update
29:13
will where did that go where did it go the update will
29:18
finally someone screwed up the dock someone did I notic because these are
29:22
notes from something else is it further down maybe or is it just no it's not oh
29:29
they kill the link that's maybe that was on purpose I don't know who nbed up the
29:33
dock well this is awkward this is awkward anyways what it said before I
29:38
can't find the it in the dock now but what it said before was that um it would
29:43
happen on the first time you updated the device it would download one drive it
29:47
would download Outlook it would download Cortana all that kind of stuff and
29:51
because of Bigsby being on the phone and Google Assistant being in Android you
29:56
would have three AI assistants services on your phone all at the same time so if
30:00
you get lonely you don't even need to go out and make friends anymore just talk to all three of your phone assistants
30:05
just just CU them all up at the same time how are you doing what are you up
30:08
to today I don't know I wish you could get them to like disagree with each other
30:13
and you could have like a debate you know that would be pretty
30:17
good some people just don't like leaving home what what I what drives me ins
30:22
saying about this is I'm pretty sure you could just extremely easily do this on
30:25
your own cuz you're just download like there's an Outlook app and there's a one
30:30
drive app and I believe there's the Cortana app yes but it's it's Samsung
30:35
they kind of have a history of the shenanigans they just blow tons of stuff
30:40
onto the phone even more bloat Weare yeah gross I don't like it at all makes
30:45
me unhappy very particularly anyways Samsung to sell refurbished Note 7
30:51
phones oh boy this was posted by SC
30:55
gazelle on the Forum we're going to check out the wired article that was
31:00
linked I'm going to drop this in the chat real
31:07
quick the phones will be refurbished broken down for parts or recycled one of
31:12
the three so H it's going to be
31:15
interesting to see like I'm really excited whether from user error or not
31:21
because it can happen from user error yeah but the first one of these to
31:24
explode or light on fire is going to be very fun just how how how news outlets
31:29
take it just how how people freak out I'm really excited even if someone just
31:34
straight up stabs it with a knife yeah don't think it's going to matter oh yeah
31:38
like it if it if it lights on fire it blows up I can see someone doing that
31:42
just for attention like let me dous this thing with gasoline take a match to it
31:46
and don't don't do this don't do this but yeah and and say oh look what
31:50
happened to my refurbished Samsung 07
31:53
man so like who who's that dude on YouTube tech rxs oh the the
31:58
he's gonna make one oh yeah I could see that okay anyways they say the Note 7 is
32:05
recycled and processed in an environmentally friendly manner which
32:09
like that's that's cool thank you that's good I guess um they're going to remove
32:14
semiconductors and Camera modules for test sample production purposes
32:19
basically they're going to try to use them in many ways and refurbish and sell
32:22
them as well which like I don't know I
32:25
know a lot of people that really like note 7s apparently they've had a
32:30
97% return rate this isn't in there either what the heck happened to the
32:33
dock they had a 97% return rate of note 7s in South Korea but significantly
32:39
lower percentages of returns elsewhere and they're also planning on absolutely
32:44
killing I also don't see this in the dock but it was earlier I don't know
32:48
what happened um on absolutely killing any potential for the phone to charge at
32:53
all through a software update they have reduced the total possible charge of the
32:58
phone and now they're just going to make it so you can't charge it um but also
33:01
noted is that they expect clever users
33:04
to just not update so that they won't have that
33:09
issue so at this point I just wonder why you would bother maybe just to be a
33:14
contrarian maybe Fight the Power Man Yeah Yeah with that um speaking of fight
33:20
the power let's let's scroll very far
33:24
down to our sponsor spots oh good lord
33:27
thank you Moss for sponsoring the W show and you can fight with
33:32
power using moss spring cables that might be the worst add tie-in spot I've
33:37
ever done so these guys are various types of USB cables what do you have
33:41
over there C to C C to C so if if you
33:45
have if you have a Nexus 6p like I do
33:48
which I just bought yesterday then you can use one of these because as a USBC
33:52
Port yeah you know what okay I'm going to take a quick aside during this ad
33:56
spot uh but I would I I went to my parents and my phone was dying and I was
34:00
like crap I guess I'm not going to be able to charge my phone cuz I have USB type-c phone and I was like there's no
34:04
way they'll have USB type-c cables my mom has a 6p and thus has a bunch of USB
34:11
type-c cables she has more than me how about and she was ready to go yeah maybe
34:15
with moss cables I'm not sure well there is a person that has more USB type-c
34:18
cables than you that's amazing yes it was it was surprising and odd how about
34:22
that slightly uncomfortable I finally got this box open that wasn't Moss
34:26
Cable's fault that was me being silly but one other cool things about these
34:29
they're braided they're nice they have a little spring thing on the end this is why they're called Spring cables so you
34:33
can like bend them over and they'll snap back in place which is actually pretty
34:36
sweet and that's like to help them not like get screwed up right at the joint
34:40
and stuff which is cool and if you use their organizer things this one is the
34:45
uh sixpack what's that called the MOs menos Minos but the there's a bigger one
34:50
just called the Moss organizer if I pull this out there we go they're magnetic
34:56
and stuff and being metal on the ends
34:59
can snap to them so you can put the organizer on something like your desk
35:05
and then use this to snap the cable down well this end would probably be plugged
35:09
into something else so this end can snap there and when you're not using it it
35:12
can just sit on here so instead of having like weird not very goodlooking
35:18
cable managing thingies like these where they're just like weird white things and
35:23
you just shove your cable in there kind of look like butt cheeks and it's not great yeah you can and it you have to
35:28
shove it back in and take it back and stuff there magnets cool and last but
35:33
not least there's the Moss backpack which has a giant power cable
35:38
coming out of the end which might be a little bit confusing oh I didn't even
35:41
notice that there's little spots for your fingers so you can unplug it from the wall more
35:45
easily I don't think I've ever seen that on a power cable before that goes into
35:49
the bag aesome where you can find one power plug for like your laptop or
35:54
whatever and two USB power plugs which could be pretty nifty cuz if you have
35:58
two USB banks that you have often plugged into your bag I guess and like
36:03
your laptop you could have all those plugged in and then just as you're moving around plug this thing in inside
36:09
your backpack so you don't have to have your laptop or whatever exposed hassle
36:12
free charging if you're not using your device at a particular time yeah that
36:16
magnet looked pretty strong I think even Insane Clown posy would be proud of that
36:19
magnet I think it's amazing moving on we have Zotac so Zotac
36:25
is talking about their en10 otx Magnus
36:28
en10 series is one of the smallest VR ready mini gaming PCs available it is
36:34
pretty wicked I've seen it a few different times and it is available with
36:38
the GTX 1060 or GTX 1070 configuration
36:42
and it features Intel Skylake Core i5 6400t which is pretty wicked those
36:47
things are cool and there's the VR go which is in my opinion probably the best
36:52
implementation of a VR backpack I'm not just saying that because it's during the
36:56
sponsor spot I really like that they have hot swappable batteries and I
36:59
really like the capacity of the batteries cuz you can natur game for a
37:02
pretty significant amount of time while swapping those out it's actually pretty
37:06
cool I just didn't do a dedicated video on it cuz no one is really all that I
37:10
can't say no one there is a very noticeably smaller percentage of people
37:14
that are interested in VR content right now so there you go but it is a it is a
37:19
very acceptable amount of weight for a backpack it feels like like when you
37:23
play a military style game it feels like actually really
37:29
yeah like I don't know it's not heavy enough that it'll actually feel tedious
37:32
but it is heav heavy enough that you realize that it's there which can
37:35
actually help I think the hot SW battery thing is probably the best solution that
37:39
we're going to have until we figure out extreme extremely efficient like gpus or
37:44
like extremely high capacity batteries and there's a couple that are like that
37:48
um but that one had the vrgo has the best capacity I do believe then there's
37:51
the 1080 mini which I have made a video on showing people the different ways
37:55
that you can use it because I didn't think zot actually did a very good job
37:58
of that sorry zot but I did it for you anyways so it's fine it has ice storm
38:04
cooling a 90mm fan for increased static
38:07
pressure and a 100 mm fan for maximum air flow there is actually two different
38:11
fans on the cooler they look relatively similar at first but you can tell that
38:15
one of them is slightly larger than the other anyways that's it for the sponsor
38:20
spots moving up we have a few extra
38:23
things in here that is interesting this was just sort of sad I don't really know
38:27
how else to even say it it was posted by numlock 21 on the Forum uh razor servers
38:32
went down resetting all device settings
38:36
for keyboards and mice that didn't have their settings saved in the cloud and
38:40
that's actually a still a scary thing
38:43
because you'd think at first like oh yeah but the devices have local storage
38:47
that is not a default setting it is not a default setting for
38:52
your device to store your settings locally they are normally stored in the
38:56
cloud so a huge number of people's devices were set to default and that is
39:02
just sort of disappointing because a lot of people have't really dialed in and
39:05
don't necessarily memorize all their settings catastrophe of global
39:08
proportions Skynet screwing up our RGB pretty much RGB is
39:13
important yeah I guess it was RGB profiles
39:18
too no yes I hope my laptops is still
39:21
the same cuz I actually like spent a while fine-tuning it I'm not even
39:24
kidding cuz I call it Haunter and it's black and purple themed so I took like
39:28
the fire preset but made it purple fire and I have like two different tones
39:34
of purple for the fire oh yeah you're so
39:37
see I'm also using fire mine is like it's blue and white but yeah the the
39:41
fire effect's awesome like I'm huge fan of yeah I guess you did that for Duke
39:45
yeah but Brandon has it as the default which actually looks kind of like a
39:48
fireplace at first glance it's it's and the thing is I think with PC
39:52
customization the amount of effort you put into it like it's not like a liquid
39:56
it's more like it's more like a gas it's going to expand to fill what the what
40:01
options are available on your setup so if you have this razor Chrome with like
40:05
oh yeah I get like a billion customization options make it yours I mean you're going to want to do that so
40:10
there you go so actually kind of a catastrophe for some folks speaking of
40:13
it I'm I'm going to hijack this super hard um but if if anyone can help me
40:21
find I want
40:25
stickers that I can put on my lapt laptop that can make the
40:30
face but I couldn't figure out how to do that so basically the back of my laptop
40:34
right now is flat purple okay it is one
40:37
type of purple that looks pretty similar to Hunter's type of purple but I want to
40:41
have face three different stickers one for each eye and one for the
40:47
mouth but I haven't I don't know anyone that sells like individual stickers for
40:53
those things and I don't know how I would go about making that yeah so if
40:58
people want to like tweet me with like telling me how the heck I could do that
41:01
that would be amazing and I would love that because like I want to use
41:05
wallpaper engine to somehow get like an animated wallpaper of like Haunter
41:10
floating there and then I want to have Haunter stickers on the back and then
41:14
purple debrand everywhere sure the
41:17
purple fire like for the stickers you could just find like a vector image or
41:22
just a really high res res image of Haunter and then isolate the stuff like
41:26
in Photoshop is there like websites that you can buy like I don't know anything
41:30
about how I do this is there like websites you can upload images and print stickers from yeah or you could just get
41:34
like a print to do it yeah like I'm I don't see why you won't be able to do
41:38
that and then you'd cut it out I guess I
41:42
got my wife's wedding ring on Etsy I feel like you could do this you know
41:45
like yeah yeah and she loves it by the way the internet is wonderful I wasn't
41:49
laughing at it because of that I was just laughing at because like holy crap modern times no I was just waiting for
41:53
people in the Stream to say in the chat to say things so oh yeah I know I'm I'm
41:56
sure she loves it uh but yeah I like I just I would love to be able to do that
42:00
properly that would be super cool Domino's is beginning to deliver pizzas
42:04
in Europe with robots they've already done this in New Zealand I don't know if
42:07
they've done this elsewhere but the first place in Europe to get it will be
42:10
Hamburg Germany this was posted by Co
42:13
gunnel on the Forum hopefully I said that correctly
42:20
uh dropping in the chat jumping into the
42:25
article which is still loading I guess we'll just watch it load why not oh
42:29
there it is mail on Daily Mail
42:32
online that's the little robot guy it
42:36
sends a code to your phone similar to like a two-factor authentication kind of
42:40
deal and then you have to type the code into the robot in order to get the pizza
42:44
I thing is amazing I hope it's tamperproof cuz what's to keep someone all that crosswalk from just oh yeah
42:48
Pizza well no the code you have to enter the code in order to access the pizza
42:52
what if they have a hammer yeah yeah there's got to be cameras on it or
42:57
something I would really hope so I also wouldn't be surprised if they only run
43:01
them like it doesn't say anything about that in here but I wouldn't be surprised
43:04
if they only run them at like certain times
43:07
Pino What A Brave New World we're living in there's actual Pizza B I love how
43:11
there's like person that got low to the ground with their camera and took it at
43:15
like specific time of day of this like
43:18
little robot what was that line um from um what movie was it I think it was Bill
43:23
Murray in Groundhog Day it reminds me of Rome and how the Sun hits the buildings
43:28
in the afternoon it's like that but with a pizza bot yes yeah look at him go
43:34
that's fantastic he's gone oh there he goes oh
43:37
look we go that is that that's just how like no one even really reacts I would
43:42
be so interested if that drove past me yeah oh well that's exciting I don't
43:47
know why it's exciting it just is it's a pizza bot how was it not exciting you
43:52
shouldn't even have to explain that that's fair that's fair my my favorite
43:56
thing um if I can find it here that happened
44:00
um as right when I say the the name here everyone's going to know what I'm
44:03
talking about this was posted by SC gazelle on the Forum as well along with
44:07
the previous post we're going to use the link from The Verge Elon
44:11
Musk launches neural link to make you a
44:15
cyborg which is so
44:19
exciting so very cool going to post that
44:22
in there El must launch his lur neural link
44:27
to merge the human brain with AI so this
44:30
is like a very very
44:35
early company they're not planning on doing any public things for a while
44:39
they're setting themselves up as a research company in the medical space in
44:43
California I don't expect anything to come from this for quite some time I
44:47
personally view Elon musk's companies in two different categories there's like
44:50
the this is going to make a difference now category like Tesla and like Tesla
44:55
like SpaceX like Sol cities and back in
44:59
the day before he sold it like PayPal and then I see the other bucket which is
45:03
the like Elon Musk likes researching this and is interested and wants to
45:07
drive it further yeah like this might happen one day yeah like his company
45:11
that researches the potential issues and with AI and how to make safe Ai and then
45:16
now this what I like how someone in the chat Twitch Plays Dion already said DSX
45:21
so for you DSX fans maybe one day you could you too can Unleash Your Inner Bob
45:26
Page hope not for world domination purposes but maybe for cool things I
45:30
don't know what that those would be you might have to ask Elon himself but yeah
45:34
yeah so more recently musk told the crowd in Dubai over time I think we will
45:39
probably see a closer merger of biological intelligence and digital
45:43
intelligence it's mostly about the bandwidth the speed of the connection
45:47
between your brain and the digital version of yourself particularly output
45:51
wonder what the bandwidth of the human brain is p wickie
45:55
topic neural lace humans could improve
45:59
themselves so interesting would you do it if someone was like I can put a chip
46:03
in your brain and it will enhance all all all parts of your life you'll be
46:08
slightly better at everything but what what's the risk you're asking me if I
46:12
would do it because the way you describe it there's no reason to say no but
46:15
obviously there's probably some sort of downside you're not telling me so no reason to say
46:20
no how invasive of a surgery are we looking at well they're putting it in
46:24
your brain yeah I guess they'd have to open
46:28
your skull H I think about it yeah yeah
46:31
I could be better at most things I could be better at almost everything actually
46:35
so I would do it yeah if Elon Musk was
46:39
like hey Luke that's all he'd have to say that's
46:45
your standard that's your standard if Elon Musk comes up and
46:50
does that's I'm in I'm done no worries
46:53
I'll sign papers hand them over I'll do it but yeah no if if if I was offered to
46:58
be in some form of program uh I would I would probably engage just like all the
47:03
tweets that I've sent to Elon Musk asking to be the media contact that goes
47:08
to Mars like here's my resume I have
47:11
done the twitters I have done the videos
47:14
send me to Mars I won't be able to do the other stuff I'm too much of a dummy
47:18
I can't do the sciency things unfortunately I'm sorry I Bard a rocket
47:22
but I I will get on that rocket and I will make so many videos but what ever
47:27
is going on and I will be so interested and I will die on Mars I don't need to
47:31
come back yeah you could go up to Mars and like you could estimate because the
47:35
gravity on Mars is different you could drop a GPU onto the Martian soil and see
47:40
okay like what's what's what's the likelihood of damage versus Earth I
47:45
could make holy videos about all the tech that we have uh yeah that would
47:49
be that's something we could do hey um
47:52
portable solar panels even crappier because now we're on Mars and they're
47:56
further away from the Sun Tech Ricky videos there you go yeah how does how
48:00
does solar panels function on Mars Just well the same except except not as well
48:06
like it if you like it dislike it if you didn't so yeah well they you'd be able
48:09
to probably float them more easily you would yeah that's true yeah there's a
48:14
little bit more exposure so they'd probably get more energy Define exposure
48:19
exposure to what would an atmosphere reduce how much and like distance to the
48:23
Sun reduce how much energy you can get from solar panels that's I'm talking
48:27
about because the sun's I I imagine the sun is like less bright on Mars that's
48:31
why I said they probably don't work as well so unfortunate
48:36
yeah which don't quote me on that but I'm pretty sure that's true so I did not
48:41
know that I have not thought about or do dove into that so I'm going to refrain
48:45
from making contact yes and that's why I said don't quote me on that there's a
48:49
quote at the end of this article that says most healthy individuals are uncomfortable with the idea of having a
48:54
doctor crack open their skull that might be true unless you're me and our giant
48:58
Fanboy Elon Musk if he's like this is a good idea I have done it I will be
49:02
like so shall I what if may maybe it's
49:06
not even a chip maybe maybe there'll be like nanites that you can just inject
49:10
right here and they'll just sort of migrate to your brain super see I would
49:14
be down for that too go both arms yeah yeah strap them up yeah yeah that's how
49:19
it works if you have twice as many nanot you'll be twice as good at whatever it
49:22
is you're trying to improve at but yeah yeah no I'm also weird where like even
49:26
before I started having intense knee problems being like really into
49:30
sprinting and stuff I would look at the guys that unfortunately were amputees at
49:35
the knee and get like those those curved metal legs and how they're like so much
49:42
faster with Envy like I want to be that
49:45
fast yeah it's like take them off human
49:48
but better yeah yeah I I'm I'm yeah I
49:52
was talking to John earlier I am not Adam Jensen Adam Jensen up and goes I
49:57
didn't ask for this I wake up and go oh damn thanks yeah like I'm down exactly
50:03
yeah when this body dies hopefully I
50:06
have another I don't care I just want my
50:10
Consciousness I'm trying to think like what the most appropriate application of
50:13
your Consciousness on cyberspace would be probably like adjudicating memes or
50:16
something like that like yes like like like Know Your
50:21
Meme could just like assimilate your
50:24
Consciousness or or maybe even like compensate you somehow I have no idea
50:28
how that would work but anyway um you wouldn't need much compensation just for
50:33
some Digital Services I guess you'd have to pay for the
50:37
storage in some way so like Dropbox or
50:40
AWS storage of some kind probably AWS instead of giving you uh the BC medical
50:45
services plan you would get like free malware scans and stuff like that
50:48
because you would be just code that's a good call yeah yeah you'd probably want
50:53
to pay for certain services like Netflix so you could just immediately watch
50:57
every single movie that they have oh yeah yeah I guess you could do that if
51:00
you were code and what else do we have on the dock anyway I don't think there's a ton
51:05
else we're coming to the end of the show oh this is why this conversation is
51:08
going worse it yes that's actually pretty much it there's a couple other
51:11
things it wasn't a super intense week in terms of news it was a super intense
51:15
week in terms of scrapyard Wars but you guys aren't going to be able to see that
51:19
for a while a while at the least um
51:23
those take a while to edit I believe Ed is already working on it but just like
51:28
ingesting that much footage onto our server is a feat in itself because
51:32
there's multiple days of tons and tons of footage um and then he needs to go
51:37
through and I believe it's called shot logging instead of shot listing because
51:42
they were already done not really sure how that works but he has to like build
51:45
the story arc out of shots and then pick what shots are actually worth using and
51:50
what shots aren't really worth using and then try to chop those out and figure
51:54
out how many episodes we can squish into reasonably figure out the episode Time
51:59
start editing them all get them all into rough Cuts so we can kind of see how far
52:02
they're going to go and so on and so forth so I don't know Samsung 34 foot H
52:09
uh HK 34ot 4K HDR LED display for movie
52:14
theaters super crazy this was posted by
52:17
WM groom AK I guess I chopped in his
52:21
name with it um on the Forum so we're going to jump there I don't know if this
52:25
this we're going to jump to hot Hardware actually I don't know if they have an
52:29
actual picture of it I don't know if
52:32
that is it or not Samsung is tting a
52:36
nearly Infinity to one I'm quoting them contrast
52:41
ratio pretty that's a pretty bold that's a very bold claim it is very bold I
52:46
believe this is the first time that movie theaters would have HDR mhm which
52:50
is pretty cool uh I don't know if I've said this on the W show before but what
52:53
the first time that I ever saw HDR was that the in viia suet and I mentioned
52:58
how HDR can actually make you feel slightly uncomfortable have I talked to
53:01
you about this no um the Nidia guy really didn't like me bringing this up
53:06
um he was notably upset uh but they had
53:11
a very dark scene with a like bright
53:15
light in the middle and it did show off how it's like oh wow that is a bright
53:20
light instead of just a white spot on the screen but because of that it was so
53:25
bright and everything else was so dark that it was actually like whoo yeah and
53:30
like normally in movies like oh you see an explosion you see whatever it's all
53:33
going on but it's not going to like make you pull back it's not going to like
53:38
hurt your eyes really uh this was like a it was an uncomfortable part of the
53:42
screen to look at because it was so bright compared to everything else um
53:46
but yeah anyways it'll be 4096 by 21
53:50
or yeah 496 by 2160 resolution um and
53:56
the its peak brightness and this is what I'm talking about its peak brightness
54:00
will level at 10 times higher the standard cinema projectors at 146 FL
54:06
compared to 14 FL I'm guess guessing
54:09
this is advantageous for like dark scenes where it may be hard to tell
54:13
things apart detail levels quality all kind stuff yeah but like I don't know
54:19
it's going to be pretty interesting because I think you're going to get a lot more of the like something happens
54:24
on screen and the whole audience goes oh kind of effect because if it go if
54:28
there's like if you're in a really dark room and it's like a horror scene and
54:31
someone's like sitting in the chair and they like don't know what's going on then all of a sudden like the lamp turns
54:35
on right beside them like that's actually going to be a really like
54:38
withdrawing moment cuz it's going to be really freaking bright it sounds like
54:42
that um THX noise they used to play before movies but
54:47
like yeah pretty much with that I think
54:51
the show is over so time to roll the intro I guess outro outro yeah it's the
54:56
intro button we're we're introducing the end of the show yeah it's also the exact
55:01
same thing that we play at the beginning of the show that's true I've always kind of thought that we should maybe have
55:05
like a slightly different one for the end of the show MH like maybe we pick up
55:08
the couch and leave let's make that happen holy crap
55:13
that's a great idea that actually totally makes sense which wouldn't even
55:17
be that hard to do because we could just do it in reverse lus finally actually picks up
55:21
the couch and helps me carry it out instead of just dropping it every single time yeah why we make that happen feel
55:26
like that wouldn't be hard to do
55:38
right right right here yes just reverse this or maybe you
55:43
could just keep walking to the end and
55:46
go and just like go out of frame whatever I'm out of here anyways Moss
55:51
cables cables bags organizers get him at the thing so Tech
55:58
they make graphics cards and small computers and backpacks crazy stuff okay
56:04
goodbye I forgot where the button is oh
56:07
God there we
