all right guys I think we're finally
0:06
live so I know I know you're tired of my
0:11
crap and I always have some kind of an excuse for why the show couldn't
0:17
possibly have been on time today but uh
0:20
no really today today was a truly truly
0:24
exceptional truly outof theordinary situation so number one uh we actually
0:30
had to move um I didn't realize until
0:33
okay so this was the thing I didn't realize this wasn't unavoidable but I
0:37
didn't realize until um it was basically time to like
0:43
get ready for w show that all of the W show stuff had to be moved out of that
0:48
orange room that I was broadcasting from before because we've had Esther so my
0:53
sister-in-law you might remember her as NC Esther so we've had Esther helping us
0:59
out with decorating sort of well Furnishing Furnishing the office and she
1:03
had us move all the WoW stuff out of that room in order for her to start
1:08
Furnishing it so um everything was scattered all over the
1:14
place I had to get all that going and I'm trying to talk while
1:20
I type the URL where people are supposed to tune in so that I can put the
1:25
announcement up on YouTube there we go I've got that done so then thing number
1:28
two that happened today today which was pretty darn frustrating was I got
1:34
everything all set up here and then we're like oh crap where's the
1:37
microphone oh no where's the capture card okay so John borrowed the capture
1:42
card because we've got an overclocking guide for Skylake coming that is going
1:47
to be pretty freaking cool and exciting and all that but he needed a capture
1:51
card so I didn't have my capture card and then this microphone which I've been
1:55
using for Wow lately was actually relocated to the inventory that my wife
2:00
has been working on getting all set up so we didn't have the microphone so I
2:04
was like oh no okay okay so then we got
2:08
all those things going and I was like all right we're ready to rock here and I
2:12
start getting things set up I go I go to like open up xplit I'm like what it's
2:17
and it says your that xplit account cannot be found so I'm like oh well oh
2:22
shoot well my account is weird because twitch actually set me up with an
2:27
account uh I I had I have not paid for xplit until today so originally when I
2:32
started streaming wow on Twitch twitch set me up with an xsplit account
2:37
temporarily and then before that expired
2:41
I actually got xplit on board as a sponsor of Linus Media Group so they set
2:46
me up with an account so somehow somewhere the wires must have gotten
2:51
crossed and what was happening was I was going to sign in to xsplit to stream the
2:56
show today and it was telling me I didn't have an account and when I I
2:59
tried to recover my password it was saying No Such account found so it's
3:04
like Lost In The Ether and then when I tried to sign up for a new account using
3:09
my email address it's like nope nope that account's that email address is
3:13
already in use I'm like what you got to be kidding me so I
3:18
had to use a different email address and to take care of it forever I just signed
3:22
up for a lifetime xplit account I don't even care and so now I will never have
3:27
to worry about it again apparently a lifetime spit account is
3:31
$450 so today I learned but uh you know
3:34
what it's it's worth it if you use it all the time we've got people being like
3:38
you paid for this crap when obfs just
3:41
work the reason we don't use OBS is not because we're not aware of
3:46
OBS we're aware of OBS so I'm perfectly
3:50
happy with xsplit uh it's just minor glitch account got lost and people are
3:55
like oh you paid for this no I didn't I'm pretty sure that's why my account is
3:59
all screwed up because I actually hadn't paid for xplit before but I'm now
4:03
officially a paying customer so there you go um people are like $450 drops
4:10
dead you guys have got no idea what it
4:14
costs to be a Content creation professional let me tell you
4:20
$450 is nothing nothing I'm pretty sure that's
4:26
less than what we paid for a single codec on our recording device for our
4:32
main camera it's like it's nothing it's
4:35
a drop in the bucket I'm not saying it's nothing $450 is a lot of money but when
4:40
it comes to video creation tools that's
4:44
not expensive we were looking at this this is actually really cool okay it's
4:49
pre- inro but I'm still I'm still going to do this I'm going to jump into
4:54
uh replace uh warp
4:57
I'm hm it's uh it's an either an after
5:01
effects or it is a um or it is a premier
5:05
plugin but this thing just came out you know what I'm I'm going to I'm going to
5:09
yell at someone in the uh in the editing room this is really cool though so
5:13
there's a new stabilizer uh plugin
5:17
essentially what's that plugin you
5:20
showed me earlier for stabilization and it replaces the warp
5:26
stabilizer that you can use through Adobe and it's like freaking amazing
5:30
Colton Colton got send me the link for that stabilizer that you were looking at
5:33
today I want to show people on the stream um and that costs $400 just for a
5:39
plugin a plugin for Adobe Creative Cloud
5:44
which costs $80 a month per
5:48
seat it's just a plugin um I mean it's a pretty sick
5:53
plugin they were showing like Drone footage that was stabilized to crap they
5:58
were showing just like some pretty shaky pretty brutal stuff and uh it looks it
6:03
looks absolutely amazing here it is so this is a this is a Vimeo link that I've
6:08
got here there we go so it's called real steady that's the one and why is just a
6:15
second let me oh there we go screen capture and Screen region Boom
6:22
professional video stabilization for After
6:26
Effects okay desktop region NOP
6:30
nope and add screen
6:34
capture and
6:40
boom there I am being all like yep xits
6:43
working great for me and here we are for
6:47
some reason my news item is not is not showing up well yay I'm feeling pretty
6:53
good about that at the moment what the what the weird this is
6:59
some really bizarre stuff right now I've actually never seen it do this before oh
7:03
there you go okay so check check this out check
7:06
this out guys professional uh professional whatever
7:11
they're calling it
7:18
okay so that's warp stabilizer you can really see that like Jello-O wobbly
7:24
effect that is some crazy Next Level stuff now it is fairly
7:30
apparent that um hold on I'm just going to I don't know what the volume is like
7:34
on this right now I haven't I haven't adjusted it hopefully you guys can hear me over this but it's fairly apparent
7:38
when you look at the footage that they're losing some sharpness and uh
7:42
some people online are talking about how with a subject that moves around within
7:47
the frame a lot it doesn't work as well but this is still some really really
7:53
crazy stuff right here so um yeah that's
7:56
$400 just for a plugin uh so I'm going
8:00
to go ahead and roll the intro because clearly this show has no Direction maybe
8:04
that'll help me gather my thoughts for a second here and then I can bring on my
8:07
guest and we can get into what I think will be probably the coolest segment of the show so here it goes
8:48
have a third sponsor today no not that
8:51
one I already showed that one that I I don't have an intro screen for but don't
8:57
worry too much about that um basically Intel Intel for their game on they're
9:02
down at packs they doing all kinds of crazy cool stuff so let's jump into our
9:07
first real topic of the day I'm going to
9:10
introduce my guest and I hope this works
9:15
Tyler nice shirt by the way
9:19
bro all right so I hope they can hear you all right because I certainly can
9:23
and I have pretty much no way of bringing up twitch chat now and making
9:28
sure that they can hear you so Tyler why don't
9:32
you oh Hangouts how I do adore you that
9:39
that was a great thing that just happened right there so guys one of the
9:43
other right I never even went through all the issues I'm having with the
9:46
Stream So once I got everything working
9:49
I realized that my CPU usage was at
9:53
100% and uh it seemed to be to do with
9:57
my hangouts um video feed from Tyler
10:01
here who is uh hopefully I'm G to be
10:05
able to hopefully I'm G to be able to get him back and apparently there was no
10:09
sound from him anyway so I'm going to have to I'm going to have to figure that
10:12
out that out as well boy I am having
10:16
quite the day
10:19
today um you guys are witnessing live
10:22
what it's like for me to be completely so this this is what I go through this
10:28
is what it's like for me to set up the show wow this is great so I'm here we go
10:35
here we go so I am in this video call
10:38
why don't I why don't I why don't I drop out of that video call maybe we'll
10:42
switch to well no hold on maybe this will work okay yeah maybe this will work
10:48
so I'm gonna so basically what I did was I I turned off my video feed to
10:52
hopefully get CPU utilization low enough that I was able to that I was able to
10:56
make this happen so open volume mixer all right let's see if maybe my
11:03
guest has audio this time guys can you
11:06
hear Tyler let's let's hope for the best
11:10
here if you talk it might help
11:17
Tyler I can hear you just fine I'm still
11:21
trying to figure out if they can and because twitch chat trolls me
11:25
incessantly it is uh it is it is actually it is actually not necessarily
11:32
that likely that I will be able to uh
11:35
that I will be able to determine based on what they say whether or not you're
11:39
working here so hold on let me just I'm going to switch you away so that I can
11:43
go ahead and uh NOP NOP NOP apparent I'm
11:50
muted what says I'm
11:54
muted hold on okay well you can hear me now right
12:00
yeah but that doesn't solve that doesn't solve their problem where they're saying
12:03
they cannot hear you so I uh I am at a bit of a loss
12:09
maybe we'll okay oh
12:12
wow yeah yeah I I got that thank you I'm getting a report from inside that they
12:17
cannot hear Tyler um that that is quite a
12:22
fascinating that is quite a fascinating thing I wonder if it's just a matter of
12:28
like setting up a different a different speaker hold on okay well let's try that
12:34
okay talk again well now I can't hear
12:39
you so um wow wouldn't it be funny
12:44
wouldn't it be funny if they could hear you now I would laugh I would find that
12:49
amusing if uh if I was basically out of
12:53
luck and you guys could hear
12:56
him oh wow
13:02
okay wow I just bumped the capture
13:08
I'm all right so uh we're
13:13
back I uh
13:16
so I would hold it up to demonstrate
13:21
exactly what happened
13:29
yeah see I can hear you really well in my right ear um the problem though is
13:34
that when I go into my device
13:38
configuration oh here we go wait what the crap is
13:44
this oh hold on is it gone hey Tyler can
13:49
you talk yeah can you hear me I can hear you yeah I can hear
13:54
you any Echo is that it yeah E's gone
13:59
are we good
14:02
yeah all right all right I love this
14:06
show
14:11
wo and we're back okay welcome to the
14:15
show for real this is Tyler Tyler introduce yourself who the crap are you
14:19
and why should we care yeah you shouldn't really care no I am just a 25y
14:25
old guy in 20c in Tennessee designing
14:28
stuff all right so what are what are some of the other projects because as I recall
14:33
we didn't really see much of your portfolio before you emailed in and
14:37
you're basically like yeah I'm so like I'm a huge fan of the show and like I'll
14:42
I'll work for peanuts if I can design your new warehouse and new office space
14:47
and we were like wow so we actually have had zero other applicants for this job
14:52
and if this guy is anywhere near a complete not an idiot then that should
14:58
be perfect and so so that was basically how you w it but can you tell me some of
15:01
the other stuff that you've done well I
15:05
The Firm that I work at here I do a bunch of dental work dental offices I do
15:11
bunch of residential work uh that's probably the majority of the things that
15:14
I do you might say that first one is just the filler material yeah pretty
15:18
much well they do take some time but um but you got to drill down on the
15:23
details yeah literally drill down yeah you gota it's it's kind of picky
15:30
work are you being very specific about dentists I I'm just I'm just I'm just
15:35
I'm just making I'm making I'm making Dental Implement jokes it's not very
15:39
funny it's okay um so I mean so basically what what interested you about
15:43
working on this project well I've been a
15:46
fan of the show for ever since you started your company and I feel like
15:51
after watching you guys so so much in your reviews your your um The W show all
15:58
these different videos that you that you make I felt like of all the people I I
16:03
could design this around you guys
16:06
because I know y'all's characteristics and that's basically
16:12
what oh you broke up for a second there hopefully we get you back pretty quick
16:20
here all right and we're dropping frames
16:37
oh yeah we are in coding frames again so that's exciting but we uh we may have
16:43
lost Tyler a little bit there which is
16:46
uh pretty pretty interesting you guys can look at that blurry blurry picture
16:51
of Tyler it's very nice or I could actually I could actually move that out
16:54
of the way until he comes back which would be super awesome uh all right well
17:00
in the meantime why don't I go ahead and jump into one of the topics that we
17:04
actually have for the
17:07
show
17:19
um and we're
17:24
back for real this time I super duper
17:28
hope is the case uh for good this time I
17:32
also super hope is the case wow I think
17:36
this may be a new record for
17:44
the
17:51
wow I was about to say this may be a new
17:54
record for the most broken WAN Show of
17:59
all time please wait look at yourself
18:02
while you wait you can make sure that your video is working which sure why not
18:07
that's real helpful right
18:10
now just face face microphone is all I
18:15
can say because this is this is one this
18:19
is one broken show today guys
18:23
um look looked like it was going to kind of oh
18:27
oh it's going to try it's going to try
18:31
get it too all right and oh I think we're back for real this
18:37
time this is like a roller coaster it's up it's down it's down again it goes
18:43
down some more it's up for like another second and then it's down okay so I
18:48
don't even remember what you're talking about Tyler can you can you feed it to me one more time what what was the last
18:52
thing I said I I I don't I don't know
18:55
maybe some of the viewers were paying enough attention to to to know what's
19:00
going on something something you watch the show something helpful know our
19:03
personalities there that's a summary okay yeah all right so yeah the last
19:08
thing I said was I felt like I knew year all's characteristic quite a bit so I
19:13
could design the space for you guys quite re relevantly you know between
19:17
y'all's work between y'all's Workshop your bench bench testing area um I felt
19:22
like I had a knack for how you guys flow so I took a chance I sent an email uh
19:27
immediately after after you announced it on the W show back in November and I
19:32
said surely I could I could get to this guy you know hopefully it could happen
19:35
because I really want to do this I really want to say I did this so lucked
19:39
out and it's been a blast ever since all right so how about this uh do you have
19:43
any of the early sketches that you did of what the space was going to look like
19:47
that you can share with us did you find them I know you just moved yeah yes yes
19:51
I found a couple of them not some of the earliest ones but after we kind of had a
19:56
a knack for a feel for it back when the staircase was in the very front so let's
20:01
see if this camera does that's right I forgot about that okay no I got I got
20:07
some extra ones here here for you all right
20:10
excellent okay this was uh apparently
20:15
this is version a and this is of when the stair was in the very front there we
20:19
go okay okay so here you go guys I'll I
20:22
I got my mouse on here so so this was the original plan can you shift a little
20:26
bit to your right oh that's that's good too there that's perfect okay so version
20:31
a so basically the doors are fixed because they're part of the outer outer
20:35
structure there was nothing we could do for that we were originally going to put
20:39
Nick in like the seat here right
20:43
at the front so whenever anyone knocked at the door it was going to be Nick so
20:46
that says sales admin and then Tyler was
20:50
it a code violation that was why we couldn't put the stairs
20:54
here yes apparently well
20:59
the contractors didn't feel comfortable not having it enclosed how we have it
21:02
now and the which it works out great now
21:05
because the fact that you have an upstairs office it would the code
21:09
required that the staircase be enclosed and fire rated so oh I we kind of had to
21:14
it kind of had to make a shift and then my mind was exploded because I was
21:19
frustrated because I wanted that staircase I had a brilliant idea for that staircase up front but it kind of
21:24
got shut down so we had to alter the plan a little bit but I think it turned out for the for the better okay okay
21:28
show it to us again show it to us again I'll I'll I'll walk people through like what else we got what else we got going
21:33
on here okay that good so this is really
21:36
funny that that is no no this was uh
21:40
this was going to be the server room so we were going to have the server room
21:43
inside this was before I think it was Tyler was it your idea or mine to to
21:48
move the server room out under the stairs and widen the stairs I think it
21:53
was I think it was your idea to be honest because you wanted you wanted the
21:57
server room to be as slightly bigger yes and I didn't want to waste
22:02
like expensive floor area on what was essentially just going to be like a
22:06
bunch of computers sitting on a sitting on a shelf so so you guys can actually
22:10
see here that even though the library underwent several revisions even one
22:15
where there was a room here that was going to be like a weird closet where I
22:19
was going to put someone maybe Nick again um the library actually has almost
22:24
returned to its original shape with the only difference being that the door is
22:28
where where the server room used to be the kitchenet is actually the one thing
22:31
that really hasn't moved the bench testing room has changed a lot though
22:35
you can see originally storage was going to be at the back and then the L desks
22:40
were going to be like here and there was like a weird like testing cable here and
22:43
then the work Studio has always kind of been a constant okay so do you have any
22:48
other revisions for us yeah let's see well in regards to the
22:55
library because you mentioned it we went through you know several Visions I think
22:59
several is a very small term I think it went through dozens and dozens of of
23:03
looks and I went through dozens and dozens of layouts from the very
23:07
beginning because I know you said we needed it to fit in this area and I was like for what you want there's no
23:11
possible way that's gonna fit yeah I was like I was like okay Tyler I have a
23:16
th000 square feet and I want you to put, 1500 square feet in it so
23:23
go and I was like No And so so this guy
23:27
twists my ARM he's like well like um what if we could extend you know the the
23:33
back wall just just just a bit come on lus just a bit we extend the back wall
23:39
just a bit and we go 1100 square F feet
23:42
and I'm like can you put, 1500 square feet in 1100 square feet and so you got
23:47
you got another revision to show us okay so okay in regards to the library okay
23:53
this is these are really really tiny because I was overlaying them so this is
23:57
Trace paper that I would overl lay on the sketch that I was just showing you
24:01
so hold on let me try learning all these techniques here guys we're we're going
24:04
to be able to be like designers like Tyler now okay so here there you go oh
24:10
here I can I can show them I can show them what's up so this was when the
24:13
sales SL admin had moved to the other side so yet another revision to the
24:18
front and then the kitchenet is still where it was and then the library was
24:23
going to be like a couple couches and then some desks here which the the
24:26
layout of the furniture anyway has even changed since changed from anything
24:31
Tyler envisioned because we've got Esther coming in and like doing the design of that but that was what the
24:35
space was kind of envisioned as as being
24:39
okay you got you got any other ones for us yeah and this is a different one um
24:44
with the wall not being angled like like the previous version I just showed you
24:48
so this is very slight different but you can see the wall right and and then the
24:54
desk at the front there gets uh a little side table or a filing cabinet if
25:00
if it was Nick we were going to put there which was was very very likely
25:04
that poor person and then this inevitably is the
25:09
the first sketch of the final design for the library oh you guys are seeing like
25:13
concept art now so the reason for this
25:17
uh is that this was this weird shaped wall was uh in this is Esther's concept
25:23
was going to end up with like kind of a built-in bookcase or something here and
25:27
it was going to have like a display wall for like Awards and like you know
25:31
Guinness World Records that we've broken and stuff like that and um so so this
25:37
was cut in because we had to relocate the stairs just outside of the frame
25:42
right here to go straight up and we
25:46
actually okay you can go ahead and put that down I'm not pointing at it anymore
25:49
and we had to change the front entryway
25:52
to have like these fire rated doors so
25:56
that you know fire couldn't something something people can get down from the
26:00
upstairs whatever who cares about the people upstairs um so so that was how we
26:04
ended up with that weird shape because it's not that I wanted a reception desk
26:09
I believe Tyler is it correct that by that point in the design stage we had
26:13
decided that visitors were going to come to Bay one to Door 104 and we were going
26:18
to have like a remote entry buzz-in system is that correct yeah we yeah
26:23
that's correct we had talked about a way where you can give them a remote access
26:27
or if there's a frequent visitor maybe they had a card and they slid a card and
26:30
they were able to get in like Hightech that point Hightech stuff um and there
26:36
was another design once we decided to move the staircase to where it is now um
26:42
because like again the library had changed so much but this was a uh kind
26:46
of an oddball idea that was good it
26:49
didn't turn out the way it did ah yes
26:53
that would have actually been so bizarre when you w when you walked in cuz this
26:58
would have scooched the library up to the point where the editing Den I think
27:02
we had to this is the one you sent me where you made the editing Den smaller
27:06
wasn't it uh no the editing D's the same size I
27:12
think it's the uh is this prior to
27:15
moving the back wall or something like that oh this is yeah yes you can yeah so
27:23
we ended up this is where this is where he negotiated that so the compromise
27:27
here was that we either had to extend the back wall or we had to we had in
27:32
order to compress this space here and then that was where we lost the weird
27:36
like sales SL admin like weird like
27:40
closet thing that you were going to like walk straight into back here it was
27:45
going to be super weird and it was going to be like really crowded really crowded by the front so the reason we ended up
27:50
with like a a reception area at all because I didn't really feel like I
27:56
needed one was in case ever want to resell the place so that was how we
28:00
ended up with the weird cutout in the library so that someone could sit there
28:05
if they really really wanted to so um
28:09
and the other thing about the resale that we pointed out was the contractors
28:14
and I discussed heavily with hundreds and hundreds of emails about what the
28:17
heck we were going to do about this structure and I know um yavon and I have
28:21
been talking back and forth with it too said where are we going to put these bearing walls and we got to thinking no
28:26
they're going to want to resell it later we can't have any bearing walls in this
28:30
place because the new tenant will just want to rip it all out and design it
28:33
themselves so we had to make a decision there on what the heck we were going to
28:37
support the storage at the time which
28:40
which was so now the floor that you guys have should be
28:45
overrated for what an office space is so
28:48
it's actually stronger than what it should be so you guys had to re-engineer
28:52
the downstairs structurally because the
28:55
original plan and this is actually something that a lot of viewers won't
28:59
know the original plan for the Upper Floor of the office space was just to
29:04
have like an outside staircase up there and it was just going to be storage like
29:08
shelves and shelves and shelves of of random overflow storage so it was
29:13
designed for us to have a bunch of storage crap up there and then when we
29:18
made the deal with vessel and all of a sudden we kind of went oh crap how are
29:22
we even going to build out that upstairs once we've moved in because we're going
29:25
to be trying to film and they're going to be trying to build an office which is
29:28
obviously two things that don't mesh too well together and we kind of went okay
29:33
let's just build out the upstairs how are we going to get rid of all this
29:36
stuff that is where the garage sale concept was born not because we wanted
29:42
to have a garage sale but because we literally took an eraser to our storage
29:47
area and put in offices that's what
29:51
happened yeah it was a last minute decision you're like we got we got some
29:56
extra stuff we want to do let's throw some offices and we got like a week okay
30:02
let's throw it there so okay so this this is kind of a funny story Tyler I
30:06
don't know if you actually even know this but do do you have any early drawings of the
30:10
upstairs oh gosh no because that wasn't really I
30:16
didn't even get this I didn't have time to even sketch that that was just pure
30:20
computer work just go go go go for gold
30:24
just just do all do the detail drawing up up right and then and then hopefully
30:28
we'll just make that no okay so we actually did make some revisions to
30:32
Tyler's original drawing and this is kind of a funny story I don't even know if you know this Tyler so so he sent me
30:38
uh the the computer drawing and my wife and I went out into the culdesac in
30:42
front of our house with a laptop with the drawing on it we we went out there
30:47
with like a gigantic tape measure and sidewalk chalk because neither of us are
30:53
really that good like just looking at a piece of paper and envisioning what that
30:58
is like to walk around in and by this stage they had actually already put up
31:04
the uh the the like the outside of the downstairs and we were walking around in
31:08
it before they actually put up any of the inside walls going wow this is a
31:12
really claustrophobic really small space
31:16
I really hope that we've done the right thing here um okay we need to not make
31:21
these same mistakes for the upstairs so my wife and I came to the office on a
31:25
weekend with sidewalk chalk and and Drew out all the walls of the downstairs and
31:30
went wow this is really tight uh-oh and then we were like okay let's not make
31:34
the same mistake for the upstairs so we went out in our culde-sac and we
31:37
actually Drew out the entire thing so that we could walk around in the office
31:43
in the middle of the of the of like the bulbus end of our street and that was
31:48
how we ended up redesigning okay so that is how our conference room so Tyler you
31:54
had originally had the conference room like about what percent wider than what
31:58
we ended up with I would say it would be about 10% wider than it was okay it was
32:04
a little bit wider and it was also in three different locations at first I had
32:08
the conference room in your office right
32:12
yes and then I decided I wanted the window out into my
32:16
Empire yep pretty much um so and then
32:19
10% doesn't sound like a lot but let me tell you guys 10% is the difference
32:25
between having enough room to have a chair on one side of a table and not
32:30
having enough room to have a chair on one side of a table so that was where
32:35
the concept of the buil-in the built-in
32:38
bench over top of of like the the like
32:43
the space that's taken up by like the exit sign in the floor below because
32:47
they like they don't quite meet up evenly so that was where the concept of the built-in bench to make enough room
32:52
to have chairs around all the other edges of the conference room came from
32:56
not because we're like yeah we're like like a quirky like Web 2.0 company we're
33:00
going to have like a bench in our conference room it was because I decided
33:05
that if we made the conference room the width Tyler wanted we were taking up too
33:09
much space from the open concept area and my office was too
33:13
big so that was from walking around in the culdesac that's where all that came
33:18
from I think you actually told me I think you or yavon one told me about you
33:22
guys going up there with chalk think I might have known that and you must have
33:25
been thinking wow this is like the ultimate Amateur
33:29
hour no I actually thought it was pretty genius I mean you you don't know how the
33:34
space is going to feel unless you go there no it's it's pretty tough it's
33:38
it's pretty tough so um so tell me like
33:41
you were doing this in addition to your regular job you're East Coast right yeah
33:45
so we would get emails from this guy at like 2 2:30 in the morning 3 in the
33:51
morning our time what was your personal
33:54
life like when you were working on this project man oh gosh it was well I didn't
33:59
really have I didn't really do a whole whole lot because all my friends moved away so I've been kind of readjusting to
34:04
where I'm at now but man coming it's it was weird going
34:09
from work doing that nine eight or nine hour job of architecture then coming
34:14
home and be like I gotta I gotta do this guy's thing so how long is this gonna
34:18
take we I was dedicated but it was going
34:21
to get done and then when I was sending those emails to you 2:33 in the morning
34:25
it was 6:30 7 you know3 in the morning my time so that's when I woke
34:30
up I think our first conversation you on the phone you were like can I call you
34:35
at 1:30 like my time like yeah sure why
34:39
not well the thing is like it's like I I
34:42
work you know self-employed you know not
34:45
typical hours so when I'm in the office
34:49
when I'm in the studio that's when all of my staff are in I need to be like
34:53
shooting videos so then I I get home I've got like a couple hours with the
34:57
kids which is all I really get so I'm like okay no that's that's kids time and
35:03
then I I sit down and I'm like I'm like
35:06
fried and that's when I get to sit and
35:09
you know write or do emails or whatever else so anything that's extra curricular
35:14
like if I'm not writing tomorrow's video because I got to get that done and I
35:18
have to be somewhat Lucid when I'm doing that anything extracurricular kind of
35:23
falls into it has to come after so I'm like yeah like I work kind of weird
35:28
hours Tyler is this gonna work for you no it worked out fine I had to take
35:33
a break there every now and then though but entertain the eyes on the weekend
35:36
but it was it was all good so okay so so
35:40
so tell me something like would you would you do it again would you do this project again yes okay what's it like
35:46
seeing seeing the finished office for you even though we haven't furnished it
35:50
yet it's really cool because it's the only project I've done in Canada um and
35:57
that alone was miraculous didn't think I could actually do it because through
36:01
Consulting with so other many people up there in Siri it was it was an email
36:05
blast all day I'm trying to do my job my regular job and I'm like my phone's
36:09
going off the hook with emails from from you guys and I'm like this is this is
36:15
awesome but it it was fun it was an experience so yeah I totally do it again
36:20
you know what's really funny is you're talking about the email barrage so I
36:24
thought and this is like my just me
36:27
totally naive I thought that the email thread that I was cced on between you
36:32
and Ivonne that had gotten so long that
36:35
it took like 20 plus 30 plus seconds to
36:39
load in Gmail I thought that was the only one between you two oh no no no no
36:46
I know no I know that now so there were multiple Gmail threads throughout this
36:51
project that basically can't
36:54
load and some of them are like like the
36:57
Imes I sent you earlier some of those emails have 10 Meg 12 Meg renderings on
37:03
them right no wonder they're not going to load oh crap I haven't even okay okay
37:08
I gotta kind of kick you off for a second here no no they'll still be able
37:11
to hear you um but I gotta like I got to boot off your face for a second here so
37:16
that I can show everyone some of the uh some of the renders so this was uh this
37:20
was this was really cool this was a really cool part of the experience for
37:24
me um let me just check I think you sent that as a drive dve link is that
37:28
correct yes okay let me let me pull that
37:31
up there we go there we go drive link so this was really cool this was this was a
37:36
neat part of the process that I didn't didn't even occur to me like I thought I
37:40
you guys are seeing like the overhead drawings like the just the the the top
37:45
down drawings spec drawings but there were actually uh let me just go ahead
37:49
and share this with you guys I hope oh
37:53
nope it looks like I uh I I broke some
37:56
things when there we
37:59
go so these were some of the renderings
38:02
that uh that we that we got to look at when we were kind of conceptualizing the
38:07
whole thing so this was an early drawing of what this would look like with a
38:11
reception desk now we've actually since decided we're just going to put like a
38:14
little waiting bench here and um I'm not
38:19
sure about these light fixtures I think hey Tyler can can you see like are you
38:22
watching the stream muted like can you see what I'm looking at all right cool
38:27
were these lights were these lights just a figment of your imagination or are
38:31
these based on something oh that's that's based on your
38:34
wife's sister oh that is oh are we actually putting those in I that's what
38:39
I was told she sent me some pictures of make lights look like this so and that
38:44
that reception desk that you see there too is based on an image as well that I
38:48
got so I just modeled that in there all right cool so here's the here's the
38:52
concept for the sign that uh those of you who have seen or attended a tour of
38:57
the h Q have probably seen uh it's finished in like a glossy gray now it
39:01
looks really really sharp um so here's
39:05
this is a door that we didn't want to put in uh this was a door that we had to
39:09
do for like fire code purposes um
39:13
something to do with flames from the downstairs getting to the upstairs and
39:17
making it so that people upstairs would die or something um so I had really
39:22
wanted it to be open when you walk in so you could go you could go right into the
39:25
kitchen this is this is final kitchen design this is what it's been for the
39:30
longest time uh there's a better look at what the reception area could look like
39:34
someday if someone ever puts a reception desk in there
39:39
um yeah this oh this feels like so concept Arty so this is this is the
39:44
library in render this is what oh this
39:47
is really cool so this is an earlier render of the editing Den when the
39:51
intention was still to put whole room water cooling into the new office so you
39:57
can see that Tyler has actually modeled in the copper piping for whole room here
40:03
how long did that take I'm sorry we didn't end up putting that in man oh no
40:07
um if you if you go to the very very last image it should have your the W
40:13
show vinyl on there the lonus tech tips vinyl and it's got the copper colored
40:16
and everything really yeah that was
40:20
photoshopped the actual piping was a bit
40:23
of a challenge but putting everything else in didn't take too long so these
40:28
are there's some things in here that you guys are seeing that are not actually
40:31
done yet so uh these partitions for example I believe we have sourced but
40:36
not ordered we're still not 100% sure about putting them between people but I
40:41
you know I think it might be nice to have the blinders on once in a while uh these cubicles if we put them in I
40:46
really wasn't sure how tidy those would end up looking and we might do like uh
40:50
floor floor standing rolling drawer
40:53
things that people can tuck under their desks now but these cubicles were
40:57
definitely something that we were planning to do just cuz they kind of
41:00
looked cool uh vinyl wall deal may or
41:03
may not go on at some point but um yeah you guys are seeing what it may end up
41:08
looking like in the future as opposed to what we've actually got implemented so
41:12
far uh this is a look at what we had planned for storage in here it ended up
41:16
not quite working out that way because the racks that we got for cheap on Craigslist are a bit wider than the
41:20
concept racks so we actually have them three of them kind of staggered and then
41:25
here's more of these Cube ideas that we we may actually still still roll out uh
41:31
that's a no furniture render of the library let's see let's see what else we
41:35
got here the kind of cool stuff I guess there's did you ever do renders of the
41:39
upstairs or were you at that point uh had you gotten to the point where you
41:43
were just gonna collapse if you tried to do any more work on this project oh no
41:47
no no no no I had intended on doing the upstairs but I kind of got tied up with
41:52
other things but I remember yavon and um
41:56
Esther we're so wrapped up in the things that were going on because that was the
41:59
time we were trying to get a permit and and they both said we don't care right
42:04
now we're just trying to get a permit so I was like okay we'll just hold it off
42:07
for right now and you guys just let me uh let me know if you want them or not
42:11
because you already had the design you already know knew what you wanted it to look like and the renderings that I did
42:15
earlier were were really just for getting because we had gone through so
42:19
many variations of carpet and tile and wall color and right all sorts of
42:25
things all these all these little details that I've that I've I've tried
42:31
not I've tried to avoid to the best of
42:34
my ability because I mean the thing about this project is throughout the
42:37
whole thing I have to keep making videos so Ivonne would Corner me like after you
42:43
guys have been exchanging emails in the middle of the night and be like okay I
42:46
need you to make decisions about this stuff please make decisions about I'm
42:50
like okay okay okay I'll look at it but but I mean the the vast majority of the
42:54
work was done by Tyler Yvonne Esther and
42:57
our and our contracting company that uh I I think this is this is kind of funny
43:02
I don't think I like I think they did not ever intend for me to hear this but
43:08
I heard one of the workers talking to one of the other workers about one of
43:13
the higher-ups at our Contracting Company referring to this job as the job
43:17
from hell where literally everything has gone
43:22
wrong and it really has felt like that at times I know that you know as much as
43:27
You Know It's upsetting and frustrating for me that this has taken a long time I
43:30
mean it's not like they're getting paid until it's done so it's just sitting
43:34
there on their desks taking up time
43:39
while you know we wait for permits and do this and do that so it was it was a real struggle for for everyone so Tyler
43:44
then now that this is done uh you know what do what do you think are are we
43:49
going to get going on our our next project together that that Yvonne does
43:52
tell me you have agreed to help with yes we could do that whenever you want all
43:57
right do you want to share with I haven't told the audience about this they they have no idea this is coming I
44:01
don't even know would this would this even be a good like Linus Tech tips Vlog
44:06
series or something uh do you want to do you want to do the big reveal for what
44:09
the next big the next big uh Tyler Linus
44:13
collaboration is going to be sure no problem um I don't know a whole whole
44:18
lot about it at this point as far as the details and things me neither but oh
44:23
okay great we'll talk about that um he they have asked to help them design a
44:29
cat enclosure for the number one cats in
44:34
Canada so if if if creating an office
44:38
Studios space for a YouTube company wasn't kind of out there enough for you
44:43
this should pretty much this should pretty much take the cake right this one
44:46
goes on the resume book for sure excellent well I got to move on and
44:52
do some tech topics but um you know I just want to say once and for all in
44:57
front of all 6,700 people that stuck with us through the technical details
45:00
and are or difficulties excuse me and are somehow watching the show still
45:04
thank you guys by the way thank you very much um we love we absolutely love our
45:10
new space I mean even Ed who was kind of
45:13
indifferent throughout the time we were moving in he was kind of like yeah it's
45:17
a you know it's a place to work which just like great that it'll be a better place to work but like you know he was
45:22
telling yvon he had he didn't know that it was going to make this big of a
45:25
difference um it is just it's great it feels like it was designed for us built
45:31
for us and is just it it's perfect for us it's right for us um and it's just
45:36
it's just fantastic we we're not moved in yet but even not moved in here I feel
45:43
like so many things are smoother than being fully moved in at the old place
45:48
because the space is just so much better so thank you very much for all your hard
45:51
work and uh all those all those sleepless sleepless nights that you
45:55
spent on this thank you you're welcome it was a pleasure all right so I will

what you would do if you want an Intel powered upgrade and there's a chance to
50:06
win one of three Intel core i7s or one of three Intel ssds open to residents of
50:11
continental US and Canada for that one so check out our Forum thread on the
50:16
Linus Tech tips forum for all the Intel
50:19
PAX Prime activities and Deals so I'm
50:23
going to go ahead and do a news topic while I get the tunnel bear lower third
50:27
thrown onto that USB drive because due to a complicated networking setup I am
50:33
not able to access any of the servers right now woot woot I love this show
50:38
baby all right why don't we do some actual news for a change on the W show
50:43
so YouTube gaming let's go ahead and
50:46
pull up the uh wired.com article here
50:50
blippity bloy news item I hope wow thank
50:54
you look at that watch out twitch you YouTube gaming just went live that
50:59
actually happened surprisingly quickly either my life is going by faster or it
51:04
really was just like oh maybe we maybe it was like a month plus ago that uh
51:10
that YouTube was giving a sneak peak of what YouTube gaming their direct
51:15
response to Twitch TV was going to look like because the reality of it is
51:20
YouTube has a lot of gameplay guys on
51:24
there but it's a very very different
51:28
medium live broadcast versus archive
51:31
broadcast and so sorry emergency files
51:35
thank you so YouTube has pretty much captured the the edited gameplay content
51:42
and twitch has captured the live gameplay content so twitch has actually
51:46
moved away from VOD content over the
51:50
last couple of years so they they went ahead and they started turning off by
51:54
default archived videos for longer than I think it's what two weeks or something
51:58
along those lines so it's a short period of time and for partners I believe it's
52:02
mandatory that your videos will be deleted they're a live broadcast
52:06
platform period and then YouTube has mostly ignored live broadcast with
52:11
Hangouts on air being sort of well from
52:15
from my experience with it just I mean I tried to use it today there you go
52:20
that's pretty much all I have to say about that um oh no I'll just have to
52:23
deal with it later because I'm doing a news topic right now Ed Ed wants to to get back to work or something doesn't
52:28
want to just hang around and find out if this USB drive is going to work for me
52:32
so basically what it is is it is a it's
52:37
like it's it's it's actually kind of a a separated user experience now so let's
52:43
let's go ahead and actually bring it up YouTube
52:46
gaming gaming. you.com if you guys are
52:50
want to check it out on your own and in a nutshell it's an attempt to take the
52:56
the the it's an attempt to well basically to
53:00
take what other game streaming platforms are doing well and Implement as many of
53:07
those elements as they can in a place where gaming content is not going to get
53:12
lost in the mix of other things like you know for example if you search for you
53:17
know Halo on YouTube maybe Halo is not a great example because Halo should bring
53:21
up a lot of gaming content but if you search for Halo you might find a video
53:25
that's like costume design ideas for
53:29
Halloween how to build your own Angel Halo and gaming. you.com is attempting
53:34
to completely eliminate that kind of
53:38
crap um the live videos run via Google's
53:42
HTML 5 backend so twitch is still running on flash so they've definitely
53:46
tried to amp things up in terms of the technology
53:51
um although they haven't worked out all
53:54
of the details necessarily yet so Jack
53:58
frs's stream of Gears of War ultimate his monetization was rejected due to
54:03
copyright infringement so they still have a lot of work to do on the back end
54:07
of things whether it's you know working with large tournaments to actually host
54:13
that content on gaming. youtube.com
54:16
something that twitch pretty much owns right now and yes
54:21
Ed oh okay bye thank you um
54:28
and so and then they've also this is the
54:31
most the most disrupted W show of all
54:36
time so anyway it took it took about five hours for um for get right and
54:41
they've got to figure out with the gaming the game makers how they can
54:46
avoid the kinds of takeown issues that
54:50
twitch has suffered from in the past whether it's whether it's gameplay
54:53
footage gameplay soundtracks uh whether
54:57
it's just music that streamers are listening to in the background um with
55:02
that whole you know not very well handled at first but hey it's it's
55:06
getting better audio muting things so they've got they've got a long way to go
55:12
but um hey it's good to have other
55:15
players and I'll be very interested to see how remember twitch is now owned by
55:19
Amazon um who definitely wants a piece of that online video content pie I will
55:24
definitely be interested to see how Amazon twitch reacts to reacts to this
55:29
play from YouTube uh so let's go ahead and do our last sponsor spot here
55:36
hopefully tunnel doesn't bring up too many things in my dock here it really
55:40
doesn't help that my computer is not running particularly well because uh
55:44
it's better it's a little bit better now but it was like really brutal when I was
55:48
trying to uh broadcast video to Tyler
55:51
for our video chat broadcast video to you guys accept video input from Tyler
55:56
um and yeah I'm even now here I'll uh
56:00
I'll I'll I'll show you guys this check this out uh add screen
56:06
capture uh oh wow what I just did didn't work at all well whatever task manager
56:10
is hitting like 100% Peaks from time to time so tunnel bear.com
56:15
LTT it's the easy to use privacy app for mobile and desktop it works on iOS
56:20
Android Mac PC Chrome you can tunnel
56:23
through 14 different countries allowing you to browse the internet as though
56:27
you're in that country so it's a VPN service essentially it secures your
56:31
internet when you're on public Wi-Fi this is actually great when you're
56:35
traveling um if you're at a conference if you're working from you know a cafe
56:39
like a Starbucks or whatever else or especially you know like not a like a
56:44
trusted you know public Wi-Fi hotspot
56:48
definitely a good idea and allows you to access Geo blocked websites so a perfect
56:53
example of a use for this uh back when uh Google Glass class first launched and
56:57
you couldn't order it from outside the United States I was able to use a VPN
57:00
service in order to pretend I was in the states and well in that case it didn't
57:06
actually end up being the the total solution that I needed because I also
57:10
had to produce a US based credit card from a us-based account but you know
57:15
it's a whole other thing I was able to access the site so it's good for that
57:18
kind of stuff and they have friendly support bears that are standing by 24
57:23
hours a day in case you have any trouble they've got five million users and you
57:27
get to try it out for free tunnel bear gives you 500 megabytes of data for free
57:31
every month and an extra Gig if you tweet at them so if you need more data
57:36
prices for unlimited plans start at $6.99 a month pretty darn reasonable
57:41
download it today and start browsing privately at tunnel bear.com
57:47
LTT all right what else do we have on the
57:51
uh what else do we have on the docket for today MIT researchers have built a
57:57
file system that doesn't lose data to a
58:00
crash and by the way our last news article was oh it looks like our
58:05
original posters on the Linus Tech tips Forum are actually missing today so this
58:10
one was posted by eiris that is a word with which I am not
58:15
familiar and the original article here is from
58:19
mit.edu which makes sense since it's going to be you know from that wait gosh
58:24
darn it there we go cra cash tolerant data storage so there's actually a lot
58:29
of different ways to lose data so when
58:33
you back when you back up or you store your data let's I'm not going to say
58:36
Backup backup has a very specific meaning when you store your data on a drive you write it there and then if all
58:42
goes according to plan then it should stay there
58:46
forever not actually a thing so aside from the drive dying physically file
58:51
systems themselves thanks to being
58:55
creative back at a time when we didn't even necessarily need these safeguards
58:59
sometimes an an NTFS is guilty of this
59:02
sometimes don't have the safeguards built in to prevent just random
59:08
degradation of the data over time also known as bit rot and here's the thing
59:13
writing data to a drive if the system crashes while the data is in flight then
59:19
that can often result in data loss as well so this doesn't do anything for bit
59:23
rot necessar oh wow there's still a what the what the crap there we go uh so this
59:29
doesn't necessarily do anything for bit Rod I'm actually not 100% sure if it
59:35
does address
59:38
that okay yep nope uh so you need to use
59:42
error checking and correction for that kind of thing so it doesn't address bit rot but what it does do is it makes it
59:47
so that you won't need you know an expensive battery backup for your
59:53
storage controller and a battery backup on the the PC outright to even have a
59:59
chance of not losing data while it's while it's in Flight while it's sitting
60:02
in cash no this allows you to no matter
60:06
no matter what when you're writing data not
60:10
lose uh like not not not lose it while
60:13
it's while it is in while the system crashes so very very cool stuff I mean
60:18
the thing about file systems is that it could take a decade to reach mainstream
60:24
acceptance and mainstream acceptance I mean what does
60:28
that even mean you know something like this is not even necessarily going to be
60:35
at all suitable like maybe five revisions down the road it's not going
60:39
to be suitable for mainstream use like as the file system you're using on your
60:42
boot drive at all because file systems can be optimized for a lot of different
60:47
things uh ZFS for example not great for
60:51
a boot Drive Great for long-term
60:54
archival storage that's what using because it does protect against uh
60:58
protect against bit rot for example so
61:02
there you go your data is safer and who
61:07
knows you know when that'll when that'll happen uh yeah all testing's been
61:12
positive so far but it should be noted that this hasn't been looked at outside
61:17
of MIT our next article was posted by and
61:22
I'm just waiting for the page to load here blipp BL
61:27
Ry and the original article here is from the verge.com and Google is developing a
61:33
GPS system that could help you avoid
61:37
potholes no not potheads
61:41
potholes holy actual crap they're going
61:44
to be you know doing something legitimately useful with oh is that a
61:48
game on badge do I need that for something this is what the official game
61:52
on badge looks like by the way I talked about that on the uh Intel thing so
61:55
basically Google has filed a patent which doesn't necessarily mean it's
61:59
getting productized anytime soon for a way to track pod holes across the United
62:03
States using your car's GPS navigation system and other sensors to detect
62:08
damaged portions of road so they'll put that information into a database then
62:12
use it to help you find a less bumpy
62:15
route so if you're worried about the suspension on your lowered vehicle this
62:20
technology could be for you although there's a number of other reasons why
62:24
you might you know want that uh say for
62:28
example um right you know taking the baby out for a drive to help her fall
62:33
asleep something that you know the dads out there will probably be able to
62:37
relate to it could be nice to have a you know smoother way to uh to go ahead and
62:42
drive down the road so basically Google would be monitoring the vibrations your
62:46
car is subjected to when you Rumble over a pothole and then cross referencing
62:50
that with GPS data uh something that's you know pretty pretty standard these
62:55
days days so by doing this many different times in many different cars
63:00
Google would be actually be able to pinpoint where the potholes are and this
63:07
is not necessarily even just a
63:10
technology for like manually driven cars in fact I see the usefulness there
63:15
pretty being pretty limited but this is the kind of thing that could be really
63:19
useful for a self-driven car I mean imagine that if self-driven cars without
63:24
even having to rely on cameras sensors could know where obstacles or or bumps
63:29
on the road are and automatically avoid them leaving the camera work to the
63:34
unexpected obstacles like a 2x4 that falls off the back of the truck in front
63:37
of you very cool looking technology and
63:40
I don't think I ever oh yeah I did did manage to bring that up I am uh I am
63:47
definitely definitely not at my best today I have like a splitting headache
63:52
from trying to troubleshoot this thing to which you might reply well gine this
63:55
maybe you should set up the show ahead of time you know what I filmed four
63:58
videos today my job isn't always like
64:02
you know just sitting around and eating bugs oh yeah teasing an upcoming Channel
64:08
super fun let me tell you guys it is
64:11
going to be freaking awesome it involves
64:15
pinball which you can't go wrong with and it involves eating
64:21
bugs yeah bugs eating bugs bugs get eat
64:25
eaten in the video by people so uh stay
64:29
tuned for that if you have not already subscribed to Channel Super Fun I am
64:33
quite certain that you're are going to want to uh you're going to want to get
64:37
on that get on that puppy all right uh
64:41
what else we what we got next oh there's a public beta now of Cartana for Android
64:46
this was originally posted by and I'll go ahead and wait for the thread to load
64:50
because the formatting of the uh of this
64:54
this dock is a little bit different this week we had we had Colton do it we had
64:58
the new guy we had the new guy do the formatting of the dock today so you know
65:03
things are a little broken he can't hear me everyone else has gone home for the
65:06
day because it's 6:30 which is 35 minutes after when we are normally
65:10
streaming the shelf so this was posted by Yami Yuki Senpai sene Senpai I don't
65:16
know my Japanese isn't that great and Microsoft Cortana for Android is ready
65:20
to take on Google now question mark I guess it depends on
65:26
who you ask so it's not currently
65:30
compatible with Android tablets it's us only at this time but it does support
65:35
some of the basic functionality that you would expect out of something like Google Now you can set tasks uh set
65:41
reminders you can make calls it browses the internet um it is more basic
65:49
compared to Google Now which has had a long time to get deeply integrated with
65:53
Android but promises to grow in features
65:56
in the future I mean here's something here's like kind of a crazy thing i' I'd
66:00
love to see like right now uh Google has kept Google Now for their own Android
66:05
Wear SmartWatches and wearables I would love to see Cortana take a more well a
66:11
more open approach which I mean it's not something Microsoft's really been known
66:15
for in the past but I'd love to see Cortana take a more open approach and go
66:19
okay you know hey we don't have a wearable platform yet anyway uh let's go
66:24
ahead and enable Cortana on Pebble time
66:28
for example cuz that was one of the big things that I missed about the gatr when
66:33
I was using the pebble time there's certain things I loved about it um you
66:37
know I love the multi-day battery life I've forgotten to charge my gat r a
66:41
couple times in the last couple weeks and it's kind of a pain in the butt when
66:44
you get used to having a watch you really do rely on it and having the
66:49
ability to just be like you know hey Pebble time or whatever however they
66:54
however they integrate it hey Cortana on my wrist and having my third party watch
66:59
be able to enable that kind of functionality for me would be great cuz I really did miss Google Now when I was
67:03
using the pebble time it already has some voice functionality that that works
67:08
quite well things like replying to text messages but it could use more and that
67:12
would that would really be a huge deal for Android and Pebble time for me
67:18
um what else so yeah if you guys want to try it then uh check it out at uh let me
67:23
see if I can find the site right now now real quick here uh blog entry by
67:28
Microsoft so it's on the blogs. Windows.com site uh I'll go ahead and
67:32
post that in the twitch chat I realize I've been totally forgetting to do that throughout the show today guys again I'm
67:38
sorry I am a little flustered today that is definitely definitely a thing Fable
67:47
Legends they keep on doing this I wish I
67:52
was wearing my keep on digging shirt today because this is like I don't know
67:58
on the one on the okay on the one hand I kind of go this is like the biggest
68:03
piece of news for me this week and on the other hand I
68:07
go Microsoft screwing up gaming on the PC is this even news should I even be
68:12
covering this Fable Legends PC will be
68:16
exclusive to Windows 10 exclusive to the
68:19
Windows 10 store so until recently been
68:23
blah blah blah no direct mention of how Fable Legend would be released on PC
68:27
other than that it was Windows 10 exclusive now we know a little bit more
68:30
about what that means and this is really funny because Microsoft came out and was
68:35
like yeah you know Steam and like PC gaming and like how great that is now we
68:40
know okay it's exclusive to Windows 10
68:43
for no apparent reason who directx12 it
68:47
would have been really hard to turn down some graphical details and have it work with direct X1 blah um so we already
68:53
knew that but what we don't what we didn't know is that you will not be able
68:57
to buy it on Steam we are getting games
69:00
for Windows Live but like
69:04
worse and now Windows 10 exclusivity
69:11
and yeah
69:15
blah I just I I just don't even I just I
69:19
just I just don't even so now we've got like remember when steam was remember
69:25
okay I don't know if you guys ever had this moment but I pirated a lot of video
69:30
games tons of video games the vast
69:33
majority of my video game library either came with the purchase of Hardware
69:38
because I spent all my money on hardware and then kept the free games and flipped
69:43
the hardware and was like always upgrading so either came with Hardware
69:47
or was pirated when I was in high school that was just how it was sorry game
69:51
developers of that time steam changed
69:55
everything for me having a One-Stop shop
69:58
with no additional DRM with um no CD
70:03
keys to keep track of and enter in things and being able to drag and drop
70:09
install my games just by backing them up on at the time I guess it would have
70:12
been backing them up on DVDs and then being able to just drag and drop the
70:16
files off a DVD instead of going through an installer with a bunch of stupid CDs
70:20
for no apparent reason and like a bunch of you know game Cals it's like oh what
70:24
a breath of fresh air steam was steam turned me
70:29
legit and now it's like the game
70:32
developers in their desire to not give valve a cut which I understand are just
70:38
killing it they're killing what was great about it what converted me and I
70:42
think a lot of people into paying customers they're killing it the entire
70:46
ecosystem is so fragmented now steam
70:49
origin you play good old games which is
70:52
now I don't know I think they TD project red renamed it something I can't even
70:56
remember what they might still be good I I don't I don't I don't I don't care and
71:00
now we're going to have to shop for triaa titles like proper PC games
71:06
although you could make the argument that Fable hasn't been good in a long time proper PC games we're going to have
71:10
to shop for them in the Windows store I mean is this is this it's funny is this
71:14
Microsoft cluing in that you know Gamers and gaming have D driven a huge part of
71:20
the the Windows success outside of corporate is is that is are we getting a
71:24
nod at least for that like Hey so uh the
71:27
the Windows store is a total Ghost Town um right exclusive games Gamers Gamers
71:34
will will they'll go anywh they'll even go to they'll even go to origin and you
71:38
play to get their content I mean the kinds of problems we have had with
71:41
origin and you play around here let me tell you if people are willing to use
71:44
those turds then I mean who knows maybe maybe this will all just be no big deal
71:50
and it being Windows store exclusive
71:53
will everyone will just completely accepted so so Microsoft rep says they
71:57
are not trying to compete with steam whatever whatever that means um
72:06
yeah uh what else we got
72:12
today wow more bad news for popcorn time
72:16
uh this was posted by and I'll have that for you in a second this was posted by
72:21
Ry on the Forum and this is some seriously bad bad news for popcorn time
72:27
users uh 75,000 Popcorn Time users will be
72:32
getting a surprise in the mail this fall
72:35
after the rights Alliance claimed it has gathered data on 51 to
72:43
75,000 users of the site uh it's the
72:47
okay so the rights Alliance is legally allowed to monitor people it suspects to
72:51
be pirating however monitoring IP addresses is one thing it we need to go
72:54
through the courts to be allowed to collaborate with isps to obtain the
72:57
names and addresses behind
73:01
them um so it's not exactly 100%
73:06
clear what they're going to do with it but that being said it has made progress
73:10
in the last month despite the obstacles making arrests in Denmark after two men
73:14
were found to be explaining how to use popcorn time on their sites
73:21
so all right email addresses but not
73:24
necessarily the real names of people and we'll see how that whole thing is going
73:29
to go uh Tesla driver set a new record so
73:34
this was uh two Norwegian guys the original article here is from fortune.com and this was posted on the
73:39
Forum by I will get that for you in a moment but first let's pop up the
73:43
article here so they set a new record I
73:46
don't know if you guys have heard of hypermiling before but basically it's
73:50
the I don't know I guess hobby of taking cars and trying to achieve neverbe seen
73:56
uh mileage ratings well not it's not a rating cuz the ratings is the rating but
74:00
neverbe seen mileage out of these
74:03
vehicles so these guys set a new record they drove a Model S for
74:09
452 miles so that times about 1.3 so
74:13
what what is that in kilometers like 6 or 700 and something something along
74:18
those lines for our uh for our metric viewers out there absolutely fantastic I
74:23
mean electric cars are developing in
74:27
multiple ways both the creative ways that people are using them now to be
74:30
clear they weren't driving it in a particularly practical way so they drove
74:35
at a speed of 24.2 Miles hour in order to achieve that
74:39
range but the technolog is advancing and
74:42
the way that people are using them seems to be advancing it took them a total
74:46
time of 18 hours and 40 minutes to run
74:51
out of battery life so with with that said it's not like okay remember the
74:57
speed it's not like they actually went that far but uh still still very very
75:02
cool I mean they did go that far but they didn't they didn't they didn't
75:05
drive for 18 hours at you know 100 kilometers an hour or whatever you know
75:10
they're driving like 35 kilm an hour so
75:13
not not necessarily that uh that
75:17
practical
75:20
um tashiba figures this is this is some pretty cool stuff TBA figures that
75:26
128 terabyte ssds will hit the market in
75:30
2018 now to be clear that doesn't mean
75:33
that you will be buying and using a 128bit SSD or excuse me a 128 terabyte
75:40
SSD in the year 2018 but that does mean
75:44
that they believe that those capacities will become commercially available three
75:51
years from now if I am the hard drive
75:54
guys this kind of stuff is absolutely
75:58
terrifying now to be clear they're not achieving this you know merely through
76:03
Moors law and you know better manufacturing processes smaller
76:07
manufacturing processes they are going to need some additional chip they're
76:12
going to need chips they are going to need more chips they're going to need
76:15
some additional tricks so they're going to be doing quad level cells qlc so that
76:22
is storing more bits per cell and
76:26
um 3D Nan flash which has already hit production and has already demonstrated
76:31
that it will be able to scale in terms of capacity without necessarily seeing
76:36
that huge increase in in uh in in area
76:39
that is taken up by more traditional non-3d nand designs so 2D nand designs
76:45
um you can go ahead and check this out so they've actually got a pretty pretty
76:49
cool little like scary to hard drive makers makers graph here now this is
76:53
this is interesting so when I talk about not being cost effective look 16
76:57
terabytes they have that on they have that in 2015 can you afford a 16 tab SSD I
77:03
personally cannot um so you know they're comparing
77:06
that to 10 terab hard drives also not affordable so we're talking about
77:09
potentially you know Enterprise grade Hardware like archival storage ssds or
77:15
some crap like that but they're basically saying look hard drive
77:18
capacities you know might reach you know
77:22
somewhere in the 20 to 40 terab range uh
77:26
we can do several times that absolutely
77:35
awesome this is great kit gur also has another really great point at the bottom
77:40
of the uh at the bottom of the article here and while it may be possible to
77:44
create a 128 terab solid state drive uh you won't actually be able to build a
77:48
lot of them either because manufacturing capacities like how many chips we can
77:53
even make worldwide will be constrained so they'll be sold only to select
77:57
customers and will hardly reach the mass Market 3 years from now very good point
78:01
as well so I think that pretty much
78:04
wraps up the show today thank you guys very much for tuning in I'm going to go
78:09
ahead and uh roll that intro in a minute here I really do apologize for the
78:13
technical difficulties today was a very challenging day and I appreciate you
78:17
guys bearing with me here um in case
78:20
you're wondering where Luke was I realized now I never even addressed that
78:23
he is down at p Prime I'm actually going to be down there tomorrow hanging out at
78:26
the Intel booth and shooting some other stuff as well so I will hopefully see
78:30
some of you there and uh definitely do go say hi to Luke and Brandon if you see
78:34
them on the show floor Nick's there too and uh I'll be bringing Taran down with
78:37
me but I think he's going to be cloistered in like a in a hotel room
78:41
somewhere editing videos so I don't know if you'll necessarily run into him see
78:45
you guys next week same bat Time same bat Channel
