0:00 are you ready yeah okay we've been through this before yes you don't get to
0:04 wear a nerd Fusion shirt I'm sorry unless Hillary wins the election
0:10 right we've been through this before yeah I'm pretty sure we've been through
0:13 this on stream before so you guys bore witness to
0:16 this we wear nerd Fusion shirts if
0:20 Hillary wins and they wear lonus techtip shirts see I am in the uniform you see
0:25 how my shirt matches this lower third matches this mug
0:31 wait what apparently we have mugs now oh yeah why which I'm totally gonna drink
0:35 from yeah which I definitely always
0:38 enjoy a hot beverage on the W
0:42 shelf I don't only drink ice water we should just now that they know that
0:46 randomly throughout the show we have to just be like yes well you
0:52 know I just I just I really need coffee
0:55 to nail this point home don't even take a break to swallow just like so I think
1:00 when that Norway newspaper put that thing in their paper and then challenge
1:04 Zuckerberg it was really a pretty intense yeah it was really a a shouting
1:08 match that I would that I would have loved to participate coffee drink coffee
1:12 too calmly yes in a sedate manner um
1:16 what were we talking about I literally don't wait these shirts oh right there
1:20 was the bet with uh there was the bet with seus so there's a bet with Matt
1:24 seus zigi on who wins the election I said Trump was going to win well it's
1:29 it's more not Trump was going to win they should have to wear our shirts for way long I actually don't remember the
1:33 exact terms I don't know I might have I might have not gone one toone odds
1:38 actually I think I might have demanded like better Vegas odds on it than uh
1:42 than just you know one month to one month and like it it is in reality it's
1:47 not just a lonus versus seus bet no you
1:50 you you got they made it a lonus Media Group versus nerd Fusion as a whole so
1:55 the entire companies have to wear each other's shirts depending on who wins
2:00 we have to pay for the other company to have enough shirts to wear which is like
2:06 actually not insignificant given they we have like eight people so we would have
2:09 to buy all of our shirts for them yeah oh wrecked yeah we're not going to
2:13 they're so you sort of want to win and also don't yes okay well I yeah well I
2:19 don't want to win at all but that's a whole other
2:22 conversation um either if you want to win a whole tertiary
2:27 conversation all right so we've got a lot lot of great topics for you guys
2:31 today like Norway and Facebook crashing over news censorship they are going head
2:36 to-head uh there's a new Mario game for iOS uh Sony launched their AMD Polaris
2:42 powered PlayStation 4 Pro and VR
2:46 adoption among steam users has crashed
2:49 to a halt yep to a halt not surprised a
2:54 Hal not surprised a halt not surprised a
2:57 halt not surprised
3:25 should be fine except that I tore down the streaming machine today sort of a
3:29 little bit why uh well I I needed to okay okay so I
3:34 actually have what I think is a really
3:38 cool new segment and I know you guys are
3:42 going to give me a bunch of crap about new segments all the time this is I like
3:47 this a lot but I have a new segment that
3:50 we're calling this is possibly my favorite segment that you've ever
3:53 started really this what I am personally most interested in really yeah okay
3:59 that's why I was like I really want you to do this okay so the new segment is
4:04 called Haunted hardware and basically I I'm always
4:10 telling stories especially on W show I'm always telling you guys stories about
4:13 like just Bizarro land stuff that I have
4:16 witnessed like you know um uh I mean
4:21 what oh see okay it's hard to do this it's like it's hard to come up with
4:24 something on the spot okay okay okay perfect example that isn't the one that
4:28 I use in the video as an example is I had a machine once that would not
4:33 install an operating system it would crash on the loading bar for Windows XP
4:38 while it was like unpacking files or whatever every single time consistently
4:42 100% of the time I swapped the power supply installed Windows just fine I
4:46 went okay bad power supply but I don't have a lot of money I'm a student I'm
4:50 going to put that other power supply back in and just kind of see if it was a
4:54 flip system runs perfectly absolutely perfectly stress test all day no
4:59 problems whatsoever I could do anything with it in fact I left the power supply
5:03 in there it ran for years after that years okay but I wasn't done yet okay so
5:09 I put I I actually I was so curious I
5:12 was like okay I'm going to burn another half an hour to an hour of my time
5:15 because I want to know if this is reproducible so I put it back in and I
5:19 tried to install Windows again same exact Hardware
5:23 crashed and I'm just I'm sitting here going how can you have a system that is
5:28 100% stable other than that you cannot install Windows on it that's so random but the
5:34 problem I would have liked I would have really enjoyed if you tried a different OS I you know what I just like I wasn't
5:40 even aware of other os's at this time this is like when I was first getting into computers yeah yeah so anyway the
5:46 but the point of that is that that story is just a story and you guys can you
5:52 guys could not believe me or you could believe me or you could say gee I wish
5:56 you had tried another thing well see but no that's that's why I'm excited for this the series cuz now I'm interested
6:01 and I'm engaged I love that kind of stuff so now now oh I'm going to capture
6:07 the whole thing on video so I you tell them what it is no no I'm not going to
6:11 tell them what it is like that's a big all right oh I'm not going to tell them what it is no absolutely not but stay
6:16 tuned for haunted Hardware it's very topical because it's like super topical
6:22 very current events related and I document the whole thing I reproduce it
6:29 i i i demonstrate like there's a point where I go from scratch with a lot of
6:34 the camera rolling the entire time and what I'm thinking is we will upload that
6:40 video in its entirety unlisted
6:43 separately we'll link it in the description if you don't believe me
6:47 here's the proof there you go so uh yeah it should
6:51 be should be pretty excited I'm I'm I'm pretty stoked on that topical not
6:56 tropical they are very different
7:00 I mean I was reading an article about how we've I think we've eliminated a
7:03 tenth of the Wilderness in the world in
7:07 the last two decades about equivalent to half of the uh land area of Australia
7:14 whoa yeah in the last in the last 20 years so uh mostly in the uh Central in
7:19 central Africa and in the tropics so that would be a tropical
7:24 topic or a topical
7:27 Tropic but they are not the the same thing that cocking gun thing just looks
7:32 like a really crappy co uh chalk outline
7:36 of a gun no's going to know what I'm talking about it does kind of it's in
7:39 the workshop I don't know where the cocking gun is oh I know what they're
7:42 using it for also I look partially Angelic look at my
7:48 hair if you ask your mom you look fully Angelic a thanks Mom yeah you know she
7:52 would say it probably yep can't say I always agree you know
7:57 sometimes he gets kind of naughty
8:01 wow uh okay so moving on to our first
8:04 topic of the day big topic Facebook
8:08 backs down they back down y'all on
8:13 censoring the Napalm girl photo after
8:17 public outcry Facebook plans to restore the image and review its processes so if
8:24 you weren't following this along Norway's largest newspaper published a
8:27 front page open letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zer zerber zerber zuberg it's the
8:34 like the body snatcher replacement for Mark Zuckerberg uh so they're lambasting
8:38 the company's decision to censor an historic photo an historic no it's a
8:44 historic or an historic photograph of the Vietnam War calling Zuckerberg to
8:49 recognize and live up to his role as the world's most powerful editor which is a
8:55 interesting way of stating that and kind of true and it is kind of true I mean if
8:58 something doesn't exist on Facebook for a lot of people I know it basically does
9:02 not exist at the same time you could argue that Google is even more powerful
9:06 that way I don't know you know I haven't looked at it recently it would be
9:09 interesting to weigh them yeah because Facebook and Google are both always
9:13 publishing statistics of like how many people log in and look at their Facebook
9:16 feed like once per day and I think Facebook's numbers are actually scarier
9:20 because with Google they don't have quite as many
9:25 services that you just like if you go to the google.com homepage they don't have
9:30 suggested news stories there somehow still after all these years but like
9:35 time you type something into the search bar that's a search that's true that's
9:41 true but all you have to do is go to facebook.com and your feed which is um
9:48 oh Cur curated by people you know so you
9:51 inherently trust it more is also full of advertisements and is full of promoted
9:55 stories and stuff like that that's a good point so I would make the argument
9:59 that for the passive user not the active
10:02 user cuz I personally look at Google a lot more than I look at Facebook Google
10:06 and Google services a lot more than Facebook ones but for the passive user
10:09 who's just like vegging like sitting at their computer kind of browsing
10:14 something probably Facebook is more relative and is more relevant and if
10:18 Facebook decides something doesn't exist I think for a lot of people they
10:23 just basically would never see it where are they going to see it my Facebook is open a lot because I use it for like I
10:29 have this group where like some friends from high school and I just all share
10:33 music so I like play music through there almost constantly but I don't like go
10:37 through my feed but I think you're probably right a huge portion of people
10:41 would spend more overall time there um
10:44 so anyway I could elaborate on the story but I realized I never posted on
10:48 Facebook since we're talking about this tune into the WAN Show yeah I can't I
10:53 can't have it waterfall anymore uh from Twitter to Facebook cuz it just
10:57 completely buries everything we post that way hate that which is pretty
11:00 annoying because all basically all they're doing is wasting my time they're
11:04 making me copy paste things inste I kind of want to like create our own little
11:08 bot that will just like it's probably against terms of
11:13 service yeah God damn
11:18 it like probably definitely is but that would be so nice because if you created
11:22 your own bot it wouldn't know CU it wouldn't be push uh it wouldn't be going
11:25 through the API Services you could just have it literally like copy and pasted
11:29 in to make it like a normal paste all right so going back into what happened
11:33 the writer of the story was suspended from posting on Facebook for 24 hours he
11:38 posted a historic Vietnam War image of a naked girl fleeing from her Napal bombed
11:43 Vi Village they then published a story discussing and criticizing the deletion
11:47 of the image and that post was also removed while containing the same image
11:52 okay the notice from Facebook explains that any images with nudity in them will
11:56 be removed so Espen Hansen
12:00 editor-in-chief and CEO of Afton Poston I probably butchered that but I'm sorry
12:05 accused Zuckerberg of abusing his power and then after that the prime minister
12:08 of Norway decided to speak out about the situation she did this on Facebook but
12:12 several of her posts on the topic were also deleted which is getting pretty
12:15 ridiculous at that point to be fair this is probably just a bot going
12:20 crazy I seriously doubt this is someone like manually intervention be like no
12:26 screw you Norway like I don't know it's all Al a matter of and we have so there
12:31 is an anonymous anonymous Facebook spokesperson who responded saying while
12:34 we recognize that the photo is Iconic it's difficult to create a distinction
12:38 between allowing a photograph of a nude child in one instance just going to say
12:43 and not others above it said girl yes
12:46 and if this was an underage girl yes it is so we try to find the right balance
12:51 between enabling people to express themselves while maintaining a safe and respectful experience for our Global
12:55 Community our Solutions won't always be perfect but we'll continue to try to improve our policy and they have back
12:59 down and allowed the posting of this particular image which is interesting
13:04 which is interesting but I also completely get where they're coming from
13:08 that's what I'm saying we discussed this on W show last week without you but uh
13:12 YouTube Google rude well you weren't there you did anything without me yes I
13:17 did something without you I will make it up to you tonight so um so basically
13:22 Google has cracked down on the not the posting of so this was why I publicly
13:28 and strong L disagreed with some YouTuber statements that this is
13:32 censorship which it is not if you can say whatever you want that is not
13:36 censorship when someone refuses to pay you for saying whatever you want that's
13:40 not censorship that's uh a completely different thing and and yeah cuz they're
13:45 not taking people's videos down no or closing people's channels that's
13:50 something I was getting really annoyed cuz there's so many videos that are like my channel is being closed I'm like no
13:54 it's not you would be closing your channel yes they're just taking the
13:59 anyway this ISR which a whole issue and it's and it's just a cold hard reality
14:03 for if you're taking money from sponsors that you're going to have to behave in a
14:06 way that sponsors approve of and it was going to happen eventually um but it's I
14:12 want to one quick second on that I did someone posted a thing we can move to
14:16 this after I was just going to kind of close this sure but basically what I
14:20 didn't agree with was the way Google's doing it where they take this
14:24 heavy-handed ban everything approach and then probably what they will do is will
14:29 they will chip away like like kind it's kind of like they take like a big like a
14:34 big brick of marble and they just kind of go okay so we're just like
14:38 everything's covered and then they're just going to slowly chip away at the stuff that it turns out is actually okay
14:42 until they end up with a statue of the devil stuff that no sponsor wants their
14:46 wants their advertisements anywhere near um and and Facebook is doing it in much
14:50 the same way but the reality of it is is do they really have a choice can
14:54 Facebook manually go through and decide
14:58 on every picture of a naked kid that's okay when they first Implement a policy
15:03 and so I I actually like I kind of agree
15:06 with everything that happened here except Facebook removing the posts complaining about the
15:11 removal unless they also contain the pictur one I I'm wondering about the the
15:17 the uh what was her was it prime minister I don't want to get the the
15:20 position wrong uh yeah so it was uh nna
15:24 Solberg prime minister of Norway I'm wondering what the details of those
15:29 posts if it's just text complaining about the removal that's crazy that that
15:34 was removed but if it was like I can't believe this was removed this is fine
15:40 then I would be like okay I understand that anyways what I was going to say was
15:44 someone was talking about how maybe a good solution for the uh monetization
15:48 dropping that's going on YouTube yep would be different pools so Google could
15:53 have like advertisers that allow their ads to go on more like crazy video or
15:59 like traditionally not Advertiser friendly videos and like companies that
16:03 want to have their ads on these crazy videos can get cheaper ad buys and maybe
16:07 you get put in a lower monetization Group which is only open to those
16:16 things did you you you said that okay
16:19 all right I didn't watch the show I don't know it makes sense yeah it does
16:24 make sense everyone's like let him keep going no don't tell them don't tell them
16:29 no you started smiling weird and I was like I don't know what's happening and
16:32 lonus never talks to Twitch chat that's what so I didn't know if you were trying
16:36 to write to me or not because you don't normally type to Twitch chat I don't
16:40 know um no I agree I agree completely I think that's how they should do it and I
16:44 think that's how they will do it if anyone from Google watches the W show
16:48 which I'm not convinced that they do but hey if it managed to make it off Wan
16:51 show and back to you cuz I'm pretty sure you didn't watch The W show You' have
16:54 known that I was the one who said that I mean someone else has probably come up with the idea independently as well I'm
16:59 sure it's already the plan it's just a matter of it being difficult and
17:03 complicated and they would have to I mean this is something a lot of people
17:06 don't know a typical sponsor if you're
17:09 lucky is negotiating their ad buys on a quarterly basis some of them will do it
17:14 on like a yearly basis like we'll talk to a sponsor in like June and we'll be
17:19 like hey so we'd love to work together we've got this cool idea for Q4 they'll
17:22 be like yep all of our ad buys are pre-allocated at the beginning of the year and I'm kind of sitting here going
17:27 and I hope none of our sponsors are watching this because especially those ones but what do you even do all
17:32 day like seriously like what is your actual job if at one point at the
17:37 beginning of the year you basically take all of the brain power out of deciding
17:42 how to spend the advertising dollars that you have for the year probably
17:45 manage those contracts to be understand though too that a lot of
17:49 the time bigger Brands they they they sub contract this through agencies right
17:55 well as far as I've been able to tell cuz I talked to someone about this I'm
17:58 not going to say names or anything cuz i' I've asked people like why the hell do you actually do this cuz I hate
18:03 dealing with sorry Danny middleman I hate dealing with the middlemen because
18:07 you always end up just having pass through conversations yep and they're
18:11 like okay we're confused because they told us one thing and now there's stuff
18:15 going on and then like everyone has to kind of figure it out and you're just adding more steps to the process we had
18:20 a deal fall through recently where we got on a call with the agency and the
18:24 brand and it turned out that our so okay
18:28 so so there were actually four layers here so there was us our MCN there was
18:32 the brand agency and there was the brand four layers so our MCN did a great job
18:38 the brand had a clear idea of what they wanted and honestly those things were
18:42 pretty well aligned the agency basically passed along no information the call was
18:48 a complete cluster hump and we found out shortly after the call it's like the
18:52 guys last week there anyway so the Deal
18:55 completely fell through so carry on but this stuff is and I don't want to deal
18:59 with it anyway so I asked someone who was at one of the companies not one of
19:03 the pr companies but one of the like companies that would hire the pr companies who was a PR person we call
19:07 them a the brand right the brand there we go brand versus like agency okay so I
19:12 talked to a PR person from the brand and as them why they don't do it and it's a
19:16 shield yeah if their PR effort fails yes
19:20 they can just be like their fault meet Shield not Brand's fault yep byebye and
19:25 again this is going back to my personal theories it is a personal Shield as
19:32 well what do you mean like if I worked
19:35 at IBM let's that's what for for for
19:39 everyone at the brand throughout the whole chain the brand itself and the people working at the brand it's it's
19:44 all a shield it's a meat Shield yeah so all they have to say is okay well next
19:49 year we will reallocate that entire chunk somewhere else that's we're going
19:53 to reallocate it into social so basically someone gets paid an
19:58 actual salary for an actual entire year to make a decision at the beginning of
20:02 the year at one point in time to go okay
20:05 we are going to allocate uh we are going to listen to some proposals and we are
20:09 going to allocate budget here here here and here and then if it works then I
20:13 will be submitting a great report about how well it worked and if it doesn't
20:16 work I'm going to submit a report about how I fired those
20:20 people oh man corporations man become a
20:24 PR person yeah but you got to work your way
20:27 up the food chain you got to get to the Brin yeah so first you'll be first
20:31 you'll be like the meat deal with yeah you got to deal with being a meat Shield
20:34 have to survive as a meat shield first yeah it's basically like
20:39 Warfare but with words yes so in much
20:42 the same way you can either survive as a meat shield and get promoted or you can
20:46 just be born into it because like nepotism or whatever yeah yeah you have
20:51 to defend against the internet's flamethrowers of compassion all right so
20:55 uh moving on to our next topic
20:58 uh oh yes Sony launches an AMD Polaris
21:02 powered PlayStation 4 Pro so our original article here is from wccf Tech
21:08 it's probably fine because this is like there's actually like a press release
21:12 here are some specs like it's not speculation speculation wow I can't
21:16 believe I've never made that joke before oh wow yeah um so basically there's a
21:21 single chip custom processor featuring eight Jaguar cores though we do know
21:26 that they are clocked higher so they're faster Jaguar cores but
21:31 um okay we have a 1.84 teraflop AMD
21:35 radon based Graphics engine so we know that this is not quite double the
21:40 theoretical performance of what was already in the PlayStation 4 it's
21:44 available with a 500 gig or a 1 tbte drive it's got 8 gigs of gddr5 memory um
21:50 it has a Blu-ray Drive an Ethernet port
21:53 10 gig land no I'm just kidding just gigabit uh it's approximately 2.1
21:59 kilograms starts at $400 US starts at
22:04 $400 wait when is this for wait this is
22:07 the new slim standard model gosh darn it this is the new this is
22:12 the it's still eight gigs of gddr5 because that much is in the notes
22:18 dang it where is the pro one a NCH had a
22:21 good article on it I was looking at that uh okay so the pro one Higher clock
22:25 speeds it is still 8 gigs of RAM that is said to run at higher Clocks 2 and is
22:29 bolstered by new lossless memory compression technology from AMD uh the
22:34 GPU component features over double the shading power of the PlayStation 4 and is based on the players okay so
22:38 basically I got everything right the pro starts at 3.99 okay we got everything
22:42 right even though we were looking at an article that I don't actually think was about it so go lus and Luke so okay Y in
22:49 a nutshell what Sony is trying to do is they are trying to make their console
22:54 all about 4K and they're
22:59 still approaching it from sort of a um
23:02 um a lackluster sort
23:05 of angle yeah it's not grammatically
23:09 correct but let's go with it lackluster angle so they're still approaching it in
23:12 a way that is quite frankly just not going to work because as the college
23:16 educated among you may know 4K is four
23:19 times the pixel count of 1080p so right off the Hop if we're
23:25 running games at anything less than 60 FPS
23:28 native 1080p on the PlayStation 4 which we most assuredly are we will need four
23:34 times the theoretical performance it doesn't quite work like that but but we
23:38 will need more than two times the theoretical
23:41 performance of the original PlayStation 4 in order to game it 4K smoothly at the
23:45 same frame rates yeah because there's like a lot of other variables but
23:49 there's a lot more to it than that um
23:52 shaders are not the same as like you know your overall pixel fill rate is not
23:56 the same as how your memory band with effect all of that like you you could
24:00 you could double the functional units in the GPU but if you didn't increase the
24:03 memory bandwidth at all then you you wouldn't get doubling and theoretical
24:07 doubling does not equal practical real world doubling so there's a lot of
24:10 things unless you had memory bandwidth that was already capable of the doubling
24:14 even if you fully like double doubled without making any kind of architectural
24:18 change I don't know that you would get double the performance we could test it
24:22 though like we could we could go find a GPU that has exactly half of the cacor
24:27 of the higher end one and see how it works out we might have other we might
24:32 have to overclock and underclock but there'd probably be like memory bandwidth changes and stuff yeah I okay
24:38 I don't know if it would be possible well let me tell you what we'll call up NVIDIA or AMD we'll be like hey can you
24:42 send us a custom GPU can you like seal off half of
24:45 the are you there
24:48 still um anyway so uh it's going to be
24:52 the war again last time there was a PlayStation and Xbox launch and there is
24:57 coming up there will be a Playstation Xbox launch there was all the image
25:01 comparisons every single Tech YouTuber including us and probably this will
25:05 happen again is going to create um
25:09 computers that are like the same price or cheaper and better or the same
25:13 performance and then everyone's going to be like but as computer parts keep
25:18 coming out and these consoles are going to stay here for a little while in the future we'll have even better ones and
25:23 then with the next GPU launch there will be even more videos of people going like
25:29 oh man look you can even make faster computers for the same price as the
25:33 consoles but then the consoles are going to go down in price and the yeah war is
25:37 going to come do you want to redo 792p versus six-year-old graphics card I can
25:42 that' be pretty funny yeah yeah that one's got almost a million views 926
25:47 th000 I kind of enjoyed that video it's uh there's again um like I just said for
25:52 your like doubling thing there's some problems with it but it was a fun video
25:58 that's true so I don't know I'm kind of excited for the war again just because I
26:03 like I like what it brings in terms of
26:07 like people actually building lowcost computers yeah and I get a kick out of
26:10 uh I get a kick out of how much more and more PC like the consoles continue to
26:15 become it's like now all of a sudden you can get PlayStations with different
26:21 specs yes my friends PlayStation 4s with
26:24 different Core specs and when you run
26:27 games in your better Playstation 4 versus your peasant PlayStation 4 we're
26:32 going to we're going to have like a whole new level there's going to be like there's going to be like like the the
26:36 pcmr guys are going to be like there's like console peasants and then there's
26:40 like console like vassals or something there's going to be like
26:44 rankings and it's all going to be dramatic and it's going to be all over
26:48 the YouTube comments and I'm going to sit back and I'm going to laugh um but
26:52 but in a nutshell okay Tony needed to do this for a couple of reasons number one
26:57 is it's all about for even Sony it's like you know the TV division's kind of
27:01 sitting there going like how are you guys not helping us out here okay we're
27:06 trying to sell some 4K TVs here right so they had to have 4K support whether it's
27:11 for Blu-ray or whether it is for gaming
27:14 4K support had to come so they had to do something more powerful because the
27:17 original PlayStation 4 was going to run games at like 12 frames per second twice
27:21 a cinematic is 24 frames per second um
27:24 also PlayStation VR there was speculation that was going to use some
27:30 rendering tricks some frame interpolation tricks they were going to
27:34 figure out how to get psvr running on the original PlayStation 4 and have it
27:38 be a good experience we were skeptical looks like they didn't PlayStation 4 Pro
27:44 or is that what they're calling it PlayStation 4 Pro yeah PS4 Pro is going
27:47 to be the way to experience psvr if you care it all about a good experience what
27:53 how does it make you professional
27:59 if you were a Pro Gamer you probably wouldn't game on a like peasant station
28:04 4 yeah if you're a Pro Gamer you I bet they're going to call it peasant station
28:07 4 someone will call it peasant station 4 a PlayStation 4 Pro owner is going to
28:12 start that you might have just started that yourself I'm not sure yeah people
28:16 going to start having pictures of the original PlayStation 4 or peasant
28:20 station 4 and have like fake dirt on it yeah oh man feel like it's the peasant
28:25 station 4 oh my this this is going to be
28:28 confusing actually one of the really good things about consoles for a long
28:33 time was the like easy gifting idea Plug
28:36 and Play the mom could just go to the store and be like my son wants the Xbox
28:41 and then or the PlayStation yeah they'd be like here's the newest one here is
28:47 one game the only game that matters right now y your son will or daughter
28:51 will have to wait two years for more interesting more games yeah and that's
28:56 and it was fine and now it's going to be
28:59 and we liked it that way do you want the 500 gig model do you
29:04 want the 1 TB model do you want the pro model do you want the non is your son
29:08 not a professional is your daughter going to going to grow up to pump gas
29:12 all her life I mean that's okay but you're not
29:16 going to want the professional you're going to want this one and part of the
29:19 problem is that this might actually introduce like competitive advantages
29:24 pleb station 4 is another name for that okay yeah that'll probably be used okay
29:28 uh you should maybe straw pull a few names that you see in there and see who
29:31 poop station poop station sounds like a different thing it does it just
29:36 literally sounds like a toilet yeah um
29:39 apparently does not support 4K Blu-ray I did not know that I'd imagine that'll
29:42 come with a firm update there's no way that it doesn't support 4K Blu-ray at
29:46 some point that's ridiculous uh anyways what I was going
29:50 to say was it might actually introduce a competitive Advantage because if you're
29:54 getting significantly more frame rate like maybe maybe in older games that
29:59 aren't meant to run or aren't designed to run at higher resolution they might
30:03 run faster I was wrong I did not follow
30:06 the PlayStation 4 Pro news because I don't care um but no the absence of a 4K
30:12 Blu-ray player is due to a lack of consumer demand according to PlayStation
30:17 boss Andrew House support cannot be patched in Via firmware update at a
30:20 later date either he
30:24 confirmed okay oh yeah lack of consumer demand the
30:29 very first question on amazon.com when
30:32 you scroll down on the pre-order page with over two times the we can switch to
30:37 my screen if you'd like um with over two times the upvotes of any other question
30:42 only at 42 but this is the your uh it's covered up by the I'll scroll it's okay
30:47 I got it might want to give it the old
30:50 ah fancy uh oh I'm going to do this it's
30:54 only 42 votes as you can see there but it's like it's still up there and this
30:58 is the pre-order page on Amazon way before you can buy it so I'm not
31:01 suspecting that much and there's 206 answers which is insane compared to like
31:07 the one or six or zero answers on the other questions I like the top answer
31:11 and one of the most mindboggling decisions in console history
31:16 no it cannot play Ultra HD
31:20 Blu-rays so yeah lack of consumer demand
31:23 may be an inaccurate statement what I'm going to say it may not also be complet
31:27 completely like okay I
31:32 personally own a movie watching setup
31:36 that has a 65 in TV literally a meter from my
31:42 face okay I am about as Target a market
31:48 as 4K Blu-ray could possibly have I
31:52 could not possibly care less really I I
31:56 do like honestly I'll tell I have bought DVDs like even recently like before I
32:01 got that set up and now I'm really disappointed I own DVDs but streaming 4K
32:06 does not look better than 1080p Blu-ray and 1080p Blu-ray looks great even at
32:13 that 4K Blu Ray cuz streaming 4K is not
32:16 the same oh no it's not it's not the same on like a few levels which is which
32:20 is a whole a whole other way to attack Sony's argument for going pretty blunt
32:25 here and say that I don't think you can comment if you haven't
32:28 okay okay fine so I'll tell you what I will obtain a 4K Blu-ray at some point
32:34 and we will revisit this conversation that could be a cool video
32:38 isth it actually that's probably a pretty good video I should probably do that you should probably and I'll be
32:42 like for you no it's a meter from your
32:45 face hell yeah um okay but like
32:49 what was I going to say I think that consumer demand would be more existent
32:52 if this thing did support it yeah because I don't think that many people
32:56 are going to want to go buy a player for 4K Blu-ray but if their PlayStation
32:59 already supported it and they go buy a couple discs maybe especially if they
33:04 were cheap like especially by the time and maybe that's part of the problem
33:07 maybe they don't feel like supporting it because they're not going to get $29.99
33:11 for a Blu-ray disc anymore uh so maybe the royalties just aren't even like I I
33:15 don't know what the rationale internally at Sony is exactly but basically they've
33:20 decided it's not worth it yeah um but
33:23 like personally especially for like five bucks like in the $7 bin Maybe not
33:28 tomorrow cuz 4K Blu-ray is going to be expensive for a bit but in the $7 bin in
33:31 a few years I would rather own it than stream it in a lot of cases yep me too I
33:37 don't buy everything a lot of stuff I stream certain content though especially
33:41 like I'm buying House of Cards even though I have a 4K Netflix
33:44 subcription hackers uh uh Harry Potter
33:48 Lord of the Rings secret life of Walter midi The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus
33:52 these are all things that I'd like to have on yep on a physical media that I
33:56 own yep I mean I don't keep them on physical media because I made that video
34:01 yeah cuz it's stupid I agree with that but the idea is that you you have it cuz
34:06 Netflix is really volatile without web compression y I have it forever y
34:11 because I paid for it and these streaming services are volatile I don't think Netflix is going to go away that's
34:15 not what I mean by volatile but the content that's on there can change and
34:19 does CH yeah and it's designed that way like it's supposed to be like that
34:23 they're not going to license everything cuz that costs money and I love it and it's fine and people who watch Netflix
34:27 are going to like watch Netflix regularly they want to be refreshing it so that's fine yeah it also creates that
34:31 urgency like when you see something like it's very smart actually um what was I
34:37 oh right I was going to add this to the um so is 4K Blu-ray worth it no but I
34:47 like it so there that's already the whole video all
34:51 6,782 of you can save yourselves the
34:55 effort but for everyone else hopefully that'll be video I still I still kind of
34:59 want like it's totally not worth it it goes completely against the algorithm
35:03 stuff that YouTube is trying to use right now but I would still love to make
35:06 that channel that we talked about back at the old office was it I don't know if
35:09 you remember this but um I talked about it with a OnePlus review I think it was
35:14 the OnePlus One that I was talking about it for where I would be like it's just
35:19 like super short tech reviews so like 30
35:23 second revieww so yeah like terrible
35:26 company good phone problems with software stuff look it up
35:30 on the forums but it's cheap but it's cheap see you next
35:35 time and like you could review graphics cards like that cuz you could just take
35:40 a price performance graph be like it's Lots here see you next
35:45 time I hate you what seriously
35:51 though so many things could be done that way everyone's suggesting we do Tech
35:55 quickie reviews Techquickie review Techquickie could start doing product
36:03 reviews we even have a place to put it potentially that's oh it's so short
36:08 though it's shorter than Tech quickies cuz Tech quickies aren't really like the
36:12 fastest possible well they used to be fast as possible now they're like as as
36:18 much history and context as possible yeah yeah they're not that short no yeah
36:24 I don't know twitch chat's freaking out they wanted on they want it on Tech Wiki
36:28 it's so short cuz these would be like patent it 30
36:32 second these would be like 30 second videos yeah I don't know we need to
36:36 trademark the the name react react oh Lord maybe we could
36:41 trademark the name 30 second videos and
36:45 then if anyone makes a video that's 30 seconds long we can just crush them
36:50 bow um turbotech that's not a bad name
36:53 for turbo tech h
36:58 whoa slow down there turbo I I don't know twitch chat's like
37:03 flipping out they love this I'm just I'm just soaking in the twitch chat
37:07 experience right now but yeah do you remember that conversation we talked about it with the OnePlus I I actually
37:11 do vaguely remember it but I had completely forgotten I had like a script
37:15 for the OnePlus One done at that point in time I I I don't remember where it
37:19 ended up going but um it was like you
37:23 can do it for so many things
37:28 oh man any modern
37:34 motherboard here's all the ports it has enjoy yeah by the way if you want to put
37:39 your old CPU on it get crapped off yeah
37:45 CPUs more Co they're slightly faster it
37:49 consumes less power enjoy you could just and then like you
37:54 could just copy paste videos so like
37:58 don't don't say the product name in the video and then if
38:03 like if the content of the review would be the same you just put a different
38:07 title on it and re-upload it so like every CPU Cooler that comes
38:14 out have this heat pipes check aluminum
38:17 fins check flat bottom surface check comes with a fan check performance
38:22 pretty good and then okay that that could be
38:26 the difference for every video there just be performance pretty good and
38:29 there's a graph while you say performance pretty good and it just slots it wherever it goes which is going
38:32 to be like exactly where the ones in the same form factor go and then you're
38:36 done not the worst idea I've ever heard I mean it okay we're going to get it's
38:41 so far away from like Advertiser friendly and it's completely the
38:44 opposite of what YouTube wants yeah we're going to get killed on watch time
38:47 oh destroyed I think we're going to get killed on like comments cuz like we're
38:51 going to have to like that's the thing is we're going to have to get down and
38:55 dirty with like fan Bo arguments like if
38:58 we're going to try and summarize an AMD or an NVIDIA graphics card we're going
39:02 to have to be like runs hot is loud
39:05 worst drivers I love that you didn't say what
39:10 brand there no that's because it switches Generation by generation it
39:13 does but no but Okay the reason why I said that is cu the the copy paste video
39:17 thing that I was talking about CU you could just use that for like a bunch of
39:20 different
39:25 cards I like it way too much I just it it does have a it has a lot of
39:30 problems and the thing is people don't even want that people want words yep
39:35 even if they're pretty close to unnecessary they want words and
39:38 sometimes the words are about pacing and they're about absorbing what you're
39:41 looking at and adding impact to a certain part of the video or like
39:46 specifically what you're saying or whatever else like I have intentionally
39:50 over the years on lineus Tech tips and on Techquickie increase the length of
39:54 the videos to add more depth and more analysis and more we used to do history
40:00 I had a benchmark for text length for
40:03 videos before yep and I think I got it from you and it was a page and a half
40:08 including your intro and all the extra stuff that's on our script templates and
40:12 now that's way too short yep it has to
40:16 be two pages if not more and the audience expects they expect like a
40:20 seven to eight minute video and they expect us to say something meaningful in
40:23 that time so maybe this would just be a way to let off steam yeah like this
40:27 thing sucks it costs too much don't buy
40:33 it that would be awesome this can transition us into our
40:38 next topic yeah what's our next topic oh let's do our ad spots oh perfect Dollar
40:43 Shave Club let's see if I can hold this note
40:47 until I bring up my talking points it doesn't cost too much it's pretty
40:50 awesome you don't have to go to the store they're delivered to your house
40:54 the quality of the product is good they have more than just razors and if you
40:59 sign up now you will get the executive blade on promo for a bit until maybe the
41:05 promo is gone crap um you can get in the US Australia you get a free month of the
41:10 executive razor us Australia you just said that but I have to say Canada
41:14 because it's like the most important one so we can't say the other ones twice and not Canada okay um and uh
41:21 dollarshaveclub.com Linus now I think we actually do
41:25 guarantee our sponsors a certain amount of air time and I'm pretty sure that
41:29 wasn't it but wipes for men but we usually go over it so like does it work
41:33 that way can you can you like can yeah can you bank it like could we just do
41:38 from now on because we usually do like double or triple because we just go off
41:41 on these tangents during our sponsor this one exactly like this one okay so
41:45 maybe this will be the last one the last tangental sponsor read so could we just
41:50 kind of go okay Dollar Shave you guys are going to pay us the same rate that
41:53 you've always paid us but from now on we're just going to like flash it up
41:56 there for for a second we're going to be like Dollar Shave Club you guys know the drill boom back to the
42:01 show would they just stop writing checks probably is that is that how that would
42:05 work I think so yeah I think so too all right speaking of not writing checks to
42:08 Linus Tech tips anymore Squarespace still writes checks so they've got 247
42:14 support via live chat and email it's only eight bucks a month and you get a free domain if you buy it for a year all
42:18 their templates feature responsive design meaning they look great on any
42:21 device they come with Commerce they come with a bunch of other Cool Tools including their logo designer as well as
42:26 the uh build a onepage website because you want to be that
42:30 guy I don't approve of those websites but with Squarespace you can build them
42:35 and you can build them beautiful yes you
42:39 can see that's still loud because we didn't say it as a slogan yeah we said
42:42 build them beautiful your websites yep not Squarespace yep we did it your
42:48 websites with Squarespace you could
42:51 build they will be and you could have so many websites because each of them only
42:56 cost $8 month you should have so many websites you should have so many
43:01 websites that holding domains and using
43:04 the domains can be beneficial I mean it's a simple powerful beautiful concept
43:07 really y I love this this is making me happy I
43:12 was so crushed when they said we shouldn't do their slogans anymore yeah
43:16 but we just don't care I mean and then their new slogan is set your website apart that's not bad no that's pretty
43:21 good no but we're not supposed to say it we're not supposed to say it I thought
43:24 we're not supposed to say any slogans anymore I don't know I hate Nick
43:29 I don't hate Nick well I hate him telling me that I can't do my sponsor
43:32 reads the way I want to do them okay well that's actually I don't hate him
43:36 it's more amusing than anything else cuz I'm just going to ignore him anyway oh
43:39 there's really nothing to hate about it other than like just but then didn't you
43:43 told me he came on the show and then just screwed around during the sponsor spots anyway he did so he's a hypocrite
43:48 yeah that's right he's a hypocrite I think I heard the door open up there and he was going to come down and yell at us
43:52 but he heard us talking about he he knows we're on to him he knows we know
43:56 he's a hypocrite and that oh I didn't go back to my Squarespace lower third yeah this is
44:00 technically still the Squarespace Monster spot so
44:04 uh Squarespace Squarespace build your
44:07 website make it look awesome use Squarespace and use offer code when to
44:11 save 10% so you don't pay more than you have to you know if we got the right
44:16 sponsors on that channel it could be great because if they were sponsors
44:20 based on like Saving Time like honestly fresh books could
44:25 work fresh books dollar sh CL cuz if if the sponsor spot for squar
44:30 space I think Squarespace would be on Squarespace is all about don't dick
44:33 around like you know doing all of this crap manually here it is here's a
44:37 template slap some pictures in put in your text it looks great yeah get about
44:41 your the rest of your day you could go like Yep this air cooler is just the
44:45 same as all other air coolers in its form factor it looks like this it costs
44:49 this much it fits here on a performance graph which is exactly where you expect
44:53 it you can buy it at Amazon you can buy it at Amazon and by the way if you hate
44:57 wasting time which is why you watch these videos chug Dollar Shave Club they
45:00 deliver Shavers to your door
45:04 goodbye cooler review right there full video full video okay there is some
45:09 editing time 10 minutes there is some work that has to go into the video
45:13 though yeah CU like we have to actually Benchmark it you need performance graphs
45:16 yes we need to validate that the if we're going to say it doesn't matter we
45:20 have to actually make sure it doesn't matter definitely and you could put the performance grafts there someone could
45:23 make a magic heat sink although if not to was to be believed it's much more
45:27 difficult than you would think did you ever watch my video from the noct a booth I did actually oh okay well for
45:32 those of you who didn't so I'm not going to talk to you anymore and I talked to
45:35 them right okay so my video from the noct booth was really cool because
45:40 basically it was an explanation for why Noctua appears to have been completely
45:44 sitting on their ass for the last 3 years they haven't released the successor to the NHD 15 which took
45:49 forever after the NHD 14 and was just bigger anyway they haven't released a
45:53 successor to it in years and the answer
45:56 is that they were like well we tried all these things and and
45:59 they showed a lot of stuff they tried a lot of things and they tried a lot of
46:02 stuff that other companies have released products claiming that it's like way
46:06 better but actually when you actually put it on a CPU it doesn't make a difference and it's like oh I can't
46:10 figure out why why you're not seeing a difference in our lab we see a difference oh don't come into our lab um
46:16 nox was just like yeah we tried all that crap it doesn't work sorry or they'd be
46:21 like an astronomical amount more money to make and made like2 of a difference
46:26 yeah they made an all copper one for example they're like yeah yeah copper is
46:30 more conductive that's
46:35 cool yeah that was really interesting actually it's like super balls heavy and
46:41 super duper balls expensive it's like why don't we just make about of silver
46:45 at that point I mean do you want a $900
46:48 heat sink gold cuz we could make it for
46:52 you would probably be terrible it would droop oh yeah ter gold would be awful
46:56 and it's as conductive as silver anyway yeah I've heard about that yep um okay
47:02 all right let's stop beating around the bush Apple's iPhone 7 wait wait wait
47:06 wait I got it hold up iPhone 7 really expensive no headphone jack you can use
47:11 an adapter it's $40 and really big
47:14 thanks for watching this video was sponsored by Dollar Shave Club if you hate wasting time check out their razors
47:18 they ship directly to your door also Squarespace lets you build a website that's beautiful in like a very short
47:24 period of time for only crap I'm bad at this I am just inherently a verbose
47:28 person I think that's why I needed a podcast that was like an hour long I can
47:32 headliner the out of this channel man all right so let's screen share with
47:36 me the verg's article The 11 most important thing from Apple's iPhone 7
47:41 event you didn't even get all 11 of them you suck all of mind you I think they
47:46 have the Apple Watch 2 as one of the most important things so I really don't
47:51 think that uh I'm going to agree with Y yeah no no sorry Verge we're done we're
47:55 done here ni um although so what I don't
47:58 know yet I can't believe they showed off a Pokémon go app for the Apple watch
48:02 that took up like a significant amount of time um in the keynote um what I
48:07 don't know about the Apple watch is whether the screen is always on I
48:11 haven't actually seen that in anyone's summary and I haven't finished watching
48:15 the event yet I haven't watched that part uh so maybe twitch chat can let me
48:19 know supposedly it is twice as bright which is wonderful but I never asked for
48:23 that what I asked for was to be able to tell the freaking time was the
48:27 problem at all no it wasn't the problem was that it isn't on and a lot of people
48:33 have criticized me over this they've been look lest you don't get it my Apple
48:37 watch lasts all day I'm like good for
48:40 you not the point not the point I want
48:44 to be able to tell what time it is when I'm sitting having an awkward
48:48 conversation and I'm trying to figure out when I need to dismiss myself from
48:52 this so that I can be somewhere on time and that doesn't work when I have to go
48:56 like
48:59 this I mean that should be like a dance do the watch do the watch do this specific
49:06 gesture if you want to know the time do the watch do the
49:12 watch that's going to be gift to hell oh I know right um there's nothing we can
49:17 do about that okay what if we do them as supplementary
49:20 reviews so for every take this conversation offline let's Okay Apple
49:25 iPhone 7 same display as the 6s they say
49:28 it's 25% brighter cool same resolution
49:32 which I don't personally care about I'd just as soon save the battery life and
49:35 have a lower resolution display as long as I can't tell that it's lower
49:38 resolution which quite frankly I cannot the home button now has no physical
49:42 click this is a big one for me this is something that if the phone didn't have
49:48 other crippling problems with it could convince me that an iPhone is a more
49:53 worthwhile purchase now than it was yesterday uh
49:57 because the physical click is breakable because it's breakable and because it
50:00 does break because it breaks frequently if it didn't really break then it would
50:04 be fine but I've heard so many people that have to replace buttons including you right Y and there are other issues
50:09 like for a while Apple wasn't allowing people to retain Touch ID if they were
50:12 place the button themselves which is ridiculous I think they've addressed
50:15 that now but the point is now it's haptic feedback so it feels like a click
50:20 but it's not and if it works anywhere near as well as the MacBook 2015 it'll
50:24 be awesome and I will love it okay yeah
50:27 their haptic feedback engine is like very good very good okay it's water
50:31 resistant they're calling it out as IP67 and they have been scandals so the S7
50:36 active um you know was found with I
50:39 think it was two samples the consumer reports or something like Anyway was
50:43 found to not necessarily be all that water resistant uh if Apple's claiming
50:47 it I what I will say is it's probably pretty darn good and I talked about this
50:52 and this is going to be really embarrassing because I did a review of
50:55 the odsy sign um headphones a lightning headphone and
51:02 it got bumped because of packs so the
51:06 release to YouTube is is a twoe window instead of a onee window and I speculate
51:11 about the new iPhone 7 if that's what they're going to call it and then I
51:16 speculate that if the objective was to
51:20 increase water resistance like if they're going to give me some meaningful
51:23 benefit out of taking away my headphone jack then that will probably be it
51:28 because I could see apple now they've eliminated the home button which is very
51:32 difficult to Ingress protect they have eliminated the headphone jack which is
51:37 difficult to Ingress protect so if the objective here was not only to you know
51:43 make the phone slightly Slimmer which I don't care about but if it was to give
51:46 me a meaningful upgrade in some other way I would be a lot more receptive to
51:50 it and it looks like that is indeed what they did although that video will still be kind of
51:54 embarrassing so Apple's Ear Pod will now collect collect connect through the
51:58 lightning connector Port there are no headphone there is no headphone jack on
52:03 the thing that I wanted to add about your ingress protection thing this phone
52:07 is I don't remember what it is IP67 if i7 I don't believe that I've taken it
52:12 out of spec um it has problems there you
52:15 go that are very probably because of water on the other hand the Galaxy S7
52:20 has been the best performing water resistant device that I've yet seen
52:23 surviving I think we went 20 ft down that's int before it died or 20 or 30t
52:28 down in salt water before it managed to die so this audio jack basically
52:33 horrible Yeah so basically the point is there's a lot of variability and if
52:38 Apple has been quietly working on improving the water resistance of their
52:42 devices over time which we know yeah and they're basic they've basically
52:45 determined okay well for us to put IP67 on something we need to eliminate these
52:50 ports and they were just kind of waiting for the right moment to do it because
52:53 it's not like water resistant competitors haven't been out for quite a while now maybe they kind of went okay
52:59 you know you have to be what is it you have to have the courage to move forward
53:02 or with a thing that no something like that but okay my counter argument to
53:06 that a little bit I said I was going to Devil's Advocate you but not yet um why
53:11 don't just have two go dually USB type
53:17 C's yeah I mean that's an interesting you can have one that like this one
53:22 charges faster by the way or something you can plug it into either but like
53:26 this one will charge your phone faster apple is I mean I think they're
53:29 philosophically opposed to that like they've never put yeah they've never put
53:33 an extra port on anything if they didn't have to I mean they even have a laptop
53:37 computer that only has one port and a headphone jack though oh
53:43 wck oh man I mean are we going to see Apple's laptop like have they been
53:47 waiting to refresh their laptops so they can put lightning connectors on them
53:50 like interesting there's a thought um so
53:55 I mean the summary is and I actually do a better job of this in my odsy sign
53:59 review and I'll talk about it some more when I review the iPhone 7 which I undoubtedly will um but the summary is
54:04 it's a mixed bag you get a little bit of extra space inside the device that you
54:07 can use for whatever it is that you determine you need to use it for you
54:11 lose compatibility with 99.999% of headphones on the planet uh
54:16 without a goofy adapter that people will undoubtedly lose like I was actually
54:21 um uh so I have another device here in the studio the uh Droid Z force uh from
54:28 Lenovo the Moto Droid Z force from like
54:32 yeah Lenovo acquired them I think they're branding at Lenovo anyway the point is it only has a USB type-c
54:37 connector it does not have a headphone jack and I've used the adapter and it
54:41 cleverly they include this little rubber thing so that you can stick it to your
54:44 headphones so it doesn't like come off and get lost um I think people are
54:50 ultimately going to be salty about it I'm salty like eight of those cables I
54:55 would prefer to just be able to plug in natively um I don't personally find that
55:00 upgraded amps and DXs make a huge difference for me with the kind of
55:04 source material that I use and that quite if we're all being honest with
55:07 ourselves none of you use either um so I
55:11 never wanted this but at the end of the
55:14 day oh I think it's this
55:21 cable um did that change your mic did
55:24 you fully unplug it oh maybe it's worth checking oh for crying out loud but at
55:29 the end of the day people are going to accept it no it's still fine and uh yeah
55:35 I think we're all going to move on I mean apple is pushing their wireless ear
55:40 pods airpods is that what they're calling them they look so ridiculous yeah they have new uh they have new uh
55:47 wireless Beats the problem for me is that this introduces yet
55:52 another charge thing in my life that I have to charge every day
55:56 that's the very first thing I thought of when I saw that was like wow I don't
55:59 want to charge my headphones Now Intel showed off a couple of years ago at CES
56:03 they showed off a wireless charging Bowl the concept for which is awesome okay
56:10 that I would be okay with wireless crap
56:13 if all I had to do at the end of the day go to bed is like shed your watch drop
56:17 your earphones in drop your phone in I get up in the morning and everything is
56:21 wirelessly charged it slow charges so my battery doesn't heat up and I work like
56:25 it awes and it's amazing that would be
56:28 great and maybe that's the future we're heading towards and maybe you have to
56:32 take these steps in order to get enough Mass Appeal for these wireless devices
56:36 that you can get the economies of scale that are associated with shrinking the
56:40 batteries and shrinking the electronics and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
56:43 maybe we're heading towards that but it is a very frustrating stepping stone and
56:47 I personally would still use my iPhone 6s although I'm saying this without
56:52 having used the seven they say the camera is amazing I probably will still
56:56 use my iPhone 6s if I need to use an iOS device there that's my two cents I'm not
57:02 going to buy a full gamut of new
57:05 headphone things cuz I use full headphones and earbuds with my phone so
57:11 okay that's not going to happen but I want I
57:14 wanted again I'm going to need a million of them and like they're probably not
57:19 cheap uh I don't remember how much they cost but I'm sure we will see cheaper
57:23 ones after the fact someone was say someone said 40 bucks in the twitch chat
57:27 but I don't think that's right I've I think 40 bucks wasn't that for the Balon
57:32 USBC to dual USBC that I'm not sure have
57:35 you seen that so Belin has an adapter already or not USBC derp lightning um
57:43 that just splits it but it's like on a short little cable and then it's a huge
57:46 box so that you'd be able to plug in a headphone a microphone thing there you
57:51 go oh Lordy but it also doesn't break to 3.5
57:58 and that's $40 yeah and that well that's to address the other issue I mean I
58:02 haven't even talked about that now you can't charge your phone and use headphones at the same time unless
58:06 you're using wireless headphones that's a big problem for me which is a huge
58:09 problem for any mobile gamer I mean Apple's
58:13 keynote blah blah blah we are the biggest Mobile gaming platform blah blah
58:18 blah blah you can only game for a few hours on an iPhone before it runs out of
58:22 battery ha good luck listening to your headphones so you don't have have to be
58:26 that jerk on the bus that's got Clash of Clans well I said freaking by
58:32 the way that sort of slipped out kind of funny I don't swear on this show kids at
58:36 home don't repeat what you heard here um
58:40 I mean you know Clash of Clans on the bus making everyone around you mad yeah
58:44 like that's super ridiculous and like obviously you can just mute it or
58:48 whatever but that's lame yeah that's stupid why would you degrade The
58:52 Experience no a new device should never degrade the experience what I'm
58:56 expecting is that I kind of think someone's going to come out with a a
59:01 case that has extra ports built in I'm
59:04 not kidding so you're just going to have to buy a bigger phone essentially our
59:07 new device is magical it's revolutionary it's three times as big with all the
59:11 stupid adapters that you have bolted onto it but like having it slim Lin in a
59:15 case as Slim as it can get um and just making your phone taller essentially is
59:21 probably the most elegant solution that they're going to be able to do so the case will plug into the bottom of your
59:25 phone it's like saying the most elegant way to put a 2 two on a hippo like there
59:29 well there is a most elegant way to put a two two on a hippo I'm sure there is
59:33 but who cares yeah but I would be more interested in this though I would rather
59:37 use the phone if it got to a split out box in an external case thing and that
59:42 went into like dual USB or why do I keep
59:46 saying USB dual lightning and like and a 3.5 it's technically USB so that would
59:50 be Wicked dual lightning at a 3.5 I would
59:54 be very happy so there's a new camera CER larger aperture Optical image
59:58 stabilization the iPhone 7 actually gets an additional telephoto lens on the back
60:02 that works like a built-in Zoom feature uh longer battery life like apparently
60:08 very substantially they haven't specified the capacity yet I guess we'll
60:11 just have to wait for the iFix and tear down I don't know why they're so like
60:15 about all this stuff we're going to figure it out eventually anyway the
60:18 front-facing camera is now 7 megapixels and includes Auto Image stabilization
60:22 which is not the same as Optical image stabilization so we'll find exactly what
60:26 that means and they have finally done away with the 16 gig capacity and they
60:30 have a glossy jet black that will look great in photos and will validate once
60:34 and for all why Luke and I have to spend so much time being angry at
60:38 manufacturers for making glossy black things and it will be because the iPhone
60:43 7 will sell better in that color than anything else because Apple made it more
60:47 exclusive by making it only available in the higher capacities so people are
60:50 going to want to show off that they have a ball in one they're going to get a glossy jet black one and we are going to
60:55 have to continue to be mad that our wireless routers are glossy black
60:58 plastic and look stupid after 4 seconds because you had the audacity to plug a
61:02 cable into them or just let dust sit on
61:05 them that too glossy things just look terrible unless you literally just
61:10 cleaned it so we asked on Twitter um if people
61:14 wanted to suggest what we should talk about on Wow about the iPhone 7 I
61:18 completely forgot to look at this but I'm pretty sure that we talked about
61:22 most of them um yeah
61:26 I one of the things that I really don't like about the wireless ear pods is that they look like
61:30 earrings have you seen that um yeah yeah
61:34 I saw them I think they look ridiculous they do yeah like most wireless
61:39 headphones they just wrap around they're going to turn into a status symbol they're going to be like the original
61:43 white ear pods or no they weren't called earpods whatever I don't care white ear
61:47 white earphones H I don't know man we'll
61:51 see we will see but I don't some celebrity is going to wear them yeah
61:56 yeah but then you look at like Bluetooth
61:59 things yeah those always kind of made you look sort of like a douche yeah they
62:02 make you look like a douche and and these will make you look like a douche
62:05 unless you're like cool and then they will make you look like a
62:10 douch whatever oh man uh most people really
62:16 just asked for the headphone jack removal controversy so yeah yeah that
62:22 was fairly obvious um Robert Preston says I'm an easy man to make happy I
62:27 want a phone that makes calls and doesn't explode yep I like that well you have to
62:31 shop fairly carefully these days not exploding is an exclusive feature all
62:37 right so yeah they talk about waterproof talk about okay so our summary notes
62:41 were fine excellent good I'm happy with the waterproof improvements it's
62:44 expensive by the way I've been a big I've been a I've been a big wow I've
62:49 been a bigon no I just it got caught in my
62:53 nasal because I'm sick right now all right The eyew Watch 2 is
62:57 here hooray you're going to review it I
63:01 probably will I'll probably end up just saying I think it's stupid again starts
63:05 at three excuse me $370 has GPS boasts a
63:09 brighter display so basically they addressed everything that I don't care about it's like more waterproof now I
63:13 don't know how many people's Apple watches are dying in the water MSRP for
63:17 a GTX 1070 yeah not that you can buy them get
63:24 better video card than probably have if you didn't buy an Apple Watch I have a
63:28 rant on that coming uh there's a new Mario game for iOS the original article
63:31 here is from Kotaku coming on Android
63:35 later so there you go Mario is on a phone which is exciting because if you
63:40 wanted to play Mario on your phone then that will excite you I mean it'll be
63:44 nice to have better quality Platformers on mobile so that's cool y it'll offer
63:48 three distinct modes so there's challenge courses to complete there's a
63:51 second mode which is challenging play data of other people's courses and then
63:54 you can create your own Mushroom Kingdom using coins collected by playing the
63:58 first two modes one thing that drives me insane about this where's the actual
64:03 topic uh it'll be free to download with a set
64:08 purchase price what what does that even mean and that's
64:14 not like a weird quote that Colton did that's exactly the
64:19 quote in quotations that's what the guy
64:23 said so like I don't know know cuz I
64:26 read I I read it'll be free to download
64:29 but with a set purchase price and was like Wow Colton way to go clicked
64:33 through and was like oh actually yes good job Colton more literally this
64:39 time what does that even mean okay you
64:43 claimed to see this coming I did not hit me hit me VR adoption among steam users
64:47 has crashed to a halt original article here is from Venture beat uh VR is an
64:52 extremely difficult thing to properly
64:56 explain the experience and feeling of
65:00 without having the person actually do it apparently it means uh it is not free
65:04 you pay there are no
65:08 microtransactions you can download it for free but you have to pay to unlock
65:12 it that's super dumb yeah so there you
65:16 go okay sure that's super dumb yeah it was apparently a bad translation okay
65:21 okay that makes sense um okay so yes
65:24 it's extremely it's it's hard to translate because it's an experience MH
65:29 it's like some it's like telling someone that um a roller coaster was cool who's
65:35 never been on a roller coaster or anything that moves quickly or inflicted
65:38 GeForce on them at all before mhm yeah you go around the corner and it like
65:42 pulls your body and stuff and the person's like what like it doesn't it
65:48 doesn't translate very well every single person I've described VR2 no matter how
65:51 excited and how intricate I made the description once they try it completely
65:58 different conversations they're pretty dead pan and like yeah sure whatever
66:01 dude then they try it they're like whoa I want one like every single time so
66:06 here is sort of where I didn't see this
66:09 coming cuz I agree with everything you just said okay but what I thought was
66:17 that people would do that people would show their friends and they'd be like
66:21 whoa I want one so what you're saying is that the people who play VR games don't
66:25 have friends well there's a combination of things um that's possibly true I mean
66:31 I play VR I don't have friends I'm that's possibly true to a certain degree
66:35 one thing that I was pushing for quite a while and you probably know this is that
66:38 I wanted Best Buys and stuff like brick and mortar stores setting up yeah but
66:44 not really yet yeah it takes time and it's not really that great yet and I've
66:48 heard of a couple small brick and mortar stores having them with the rift which
66:52 is not the experience that I want people trying right
66:56 and the most popular VR experience right
66:59 now is with the damn gear
67:03 VR o the gear VR is awful exactly so
67:07 people are getting this gear VR for free throwing it on and then going why the
67:12 heck censoring myself a little bit there would I ever spend all that money $1,000
67:18 for like that but better because it isn't that but better it's not that at
67:21 all completely different categories of things right but they're called falling
67:25 at the same thing and Samsung is oh oh
67:28 yeah and their their radio advertisements are like oh yeah today I was running around with dinosaurs and
67:33 then I was like fighting zombies and stuff and so they try to make it the
67:37 same amount of exciting and they describe it in the exact same way that
67:41 people are describing the high-end headsets then people are trying the gear
67:45 vrs and then going why the hell would I ever buy that nicer
67:49 one so people are not exposed to it in a
67:53 direct Hands-On way right people are exposed to shitty versions of it in a
67:58 direct Hands-On way mhm and the community that has them is very small
68:04 and then they're really expensive right and the well-informed community also
68:09 knows that these are the first version
68:12 there's probably follow-up versions coming relatively quickly that will be
68:17 considerably better and that's going to be happening for a while y okay so like
68:20 it's it's this huge I totally saw this coming uh that's why that's a big reason
68:26 why I was worried about even making the rift review so late is because I knew
68:29 the hype train was already crashing so hard all right so basically the numbers
68:34 are here uh according to a survey of customers that use steam conducted by
68:38 Valve um the number of new HTC VI owners
68:42 on Steam only grew by 3% in July and
68:46 remained flat in August Oculus saw similar results of 3% in July and .1% in
68:52 August yep July and August are important because they are the first first months
68:55 where both HTC and Oculus are shipping
68:58 orders when they receive them wow that's tough eh
69:05 yeah all right um let me just see if
69:09 we've got anything else that's really interesting here I would be interested in seeing some other statistics on that
69:13 steam thing like the percentage of computers that can actually perform
69:18 properly with those VR headsets how many of those people are buying headsets
69:23 right because a huge amount of the steam Hardware survey is
69:26 like not even necessarily dedicated GPU laptops y that's true and like your
69:32 mom's HP that was 300 bucks and stuff
69:35 like that so a lot of these things VR headsets aren't even remotely in the
69:39 Horizon for them and it doesn't apply so
69:43 the percentage sounds lower than it probably should so this made me mad and
69:47 then I got over it Google Chrome to disallow backspace as the back button
69:51 see I'm going to press backspace and it's not going to do anything mind you this is the first page I loaded in this
69:55 tab so it probably wouldn't have done anything anyway but I'll demonstrate
69:58 again I'm pressing see oh look at that alt left press alt left Arrow to go back
70:04 press alt left all right all right Chrome there you go so the idea is to
70:08 keep people from losing all their work by accidentally trying to backspace
70:12 something and then losing a web form which I personally don't really have a
70:16 lot of difficulty with apparently this is really old and this is
70:19 old not not this VR thing oh Chrome well
70:23 whatever I know no they've been rolling it out slowly okay it hit me this week
70:27 okay and I hadn't heard about it and it made me mad you use that that's all I
70:31 use backspace to go yeah yeah I don't all the time I don't well I just do it
70:36 with my mouse whatever which will still work I do it with both get wrecked
70:41 sometimes I touch the little back button on the touch screen yeah that's right
70:45 whoa yeah you're a you're like I'm like a rebel triangle
70:50 yeah um what no I kind of
70:55 I'll sure all right no I'll I'll I'll do it I'll I'll bite I'll bite on this one
71:01 okay Turing phone Cadenza will
71:05 apparently feature dual Snapdragon 830s with a 60 megapixel quad rear
71:12 camera triplet lens why would you have quad rear cameras so IMAX 6K is the
71:18 resolution they're calling that dual front cameras 20 megapixels 12 gigs of
71:23 RAM one tab of storage swordfish OS with
71:26 deep learning AI what is this a a 5.8
71:31 inch 1440 by 2560
71:34 display um so Turing robotics has revealed plans for the future of the
71:38 Turing phone uh should be a Leading Edge
71:41 program to realize the next generation of mobile devices um 1 gbit per second 60 GHz y
71:48 gig support I mean what are they planning saying the phone will be released sometime in 2017 quad nano SIM
71:53 support I mean this B basically just sounds like someone going on PC parts
71:57 picker and just like picking all the most expensive stuff that totally won't
72:01 work together and just putting it in a
72:04 cart graphine oxide composite body workor with liquid metal 2.0 structural
72:09 frame it's only going to have a 2 2400 milliamp oh 2400 milliamp graphine super
72:14 capacitor battery so like basically like instant charging and a 16600 Milah
72:20 lithium hyrogen hydrogen fuel cell and it's really funny because our
72:24 next topic is halflife 3 confirmed which is almost like that phone is like
72:29 halflife 3 confirmed why is this in here what is this we're almost at the back to
72:33 the future date we're even closer to the Star Wars Tipping Point the what on May
72:37 13th The Phantom Menace will have come out closer to Return of the Jedi than to
72:40 the present it's weird how I'm consistently
72:43 surprised by the passage of time when it's literally the most predictable thing in the universe you know a long
72:46 time ago should have plus four more decades added into the
72:51 re-releases what oh hold on a second halflife
72:56 halflife episode 2 it's been that many
72:59 days September 10th 2016 so that's the
73:02 oh I see okay wow has it really was it
73:05 yeah it was 10 years has it really been 10 years since halflife episode 2 holy
73:10 crap we're old wow speaking of VR things cuz
73:15 someone lit the fire um Oculus touch controller price was leaked on media
73:19 Mark for
73:23 €200 oh cool which is probably going to be $200 as well because because H take
73:30 that Europeans you're not an American so
73:33 you get wrecked by pricing apparently sorry we're not Americans either so
73:38 before anyone forgets that point um we
73:41 just like talking about Trump because it's funny and it really impacts us a
73:45 lot because we live really close and we're really small population yeah I
73:48 mean what if he makes us pay for a wall that is like a really long border it is
73:53 all right so thank you for tuning in to the W show we will see you again next
73:56 week same bat Time same bat Channel we could employ all the oil riggers that
74:01 way could be good what if you made the wall out of solar
74:05 panels and then it became a profit Venture we could export the power to the
74:09 states so you're saying solar freaking
74:12 walls yeah solar freaking walls solar freaking walls you're not allowed on
74:17 this show
74:28 would the top of the wall be a road like if you travel along the border on the
74:32 wall Road Road Wall okay
