right yeah good yes yeah yeah
0:05
weno awesome yeah part three wow part
0:09
three so we've got a bunch of great topics for you guys today what are we starting out with starting out with a
0:14
broken twitch page on your laptop we're
0:17
starting out with FCC approves net neutrality rules and Broadband is now a
0:21
utility and also Leonard nemoy has passed away at
0:25
83 um Intel is planning to drop silicon
0:30
after 10 nanometer so uh looking into
0:33
some other novel approaches to making microprocessors more powerful and more
0:38
efficient and YouTube 1 billion views
0:43
viewers excuse me more than 1 billion views we're talking like just sigh on
0:48
just one video um so more than one billion viewers no profits so we'll talk
0:54
about that a fair bit so let's jump right into the intro and then uh there
1:00
it is
1:14
hooray see that usually is
1:21
critical wow that's awful can we fire whoever did
1:28
this oh yeah you're going to Pax hey yeah so that's going to be pretty cool
1:33
yeah pretty excited for that yeah PA East this is your second year at PAX
1:37
East yep sweet I've had I've heard of a few actually interesting videos that
1:41
should be coming from there already which is exciting um it's nice knowing
1:45
that there will be anything at a show before I go to the show scary thing yeah
1:50
it's like all right we got to get content from this sounds like nothing is
1:54
being announced here okay cool all right that sounds like fun although sometimes
1:59
you get really good vide that way as well so I don't know apparently the
2:03
intro has no audio for these guys I don't know what the deal is with that CU
2:06
that was the same as last week it's working for us so I that's why I that's
2:10
why I didn't know that there's no sound in the intro that's kind of weird that
2:14
is weird well we'll we'll figure that out cuz yeah I can I can hear it and
2:17
usually when I can't hear it you guys can't hear it and when I can then uh you
2:21
guys can too so there's that um yeah oh
2:25
the right the sponsor shout outs for the intro so haha well of course there's
2:30
East so P East we're going to be powered by hyperx down there wouldn't be the
2:33
first time hyperx sponsored us to go to PAX East also M drop and xplit powering
2:39
the show today so why don't we jump right into our first topic here uh the
2:44
FCC approves net neutrality rules reclassifies Broadband as a utility and
2:51
then there are some other net neutrality updates and FCC rulings from the hearing
2:55
so uh Tom wheeler chairman of the FCC or
2:58
FCC chairman excuse me uh says the internet is simply too important to
3:02
allow Broadband providers to be the ones making the rules um the new rules
3:07
largely resemble the open internet rules that Obama laid out three months ago and
3:13
uh allegedly up until last week there was language in the FCC proposal that
3:17
could unintentionally allow internet service providers to charge for sending
3:21
content to Consumers so they've gone
3:24
ahead and uh you know patched up some of those little holes and what's going on I
3:28
think Google and a few other companies kind of jumped in there and were like
3:32
maybe change some things cuz giant loopholes um there there there's some
3:37
questioning here as we talked about on on the W show before actually it's kind
3:40
of weird that Tom wheeler flipped as much as he did um he was fairly adamant
3:45
before about this not really being a thing and now he's like raah raah this
3:49
is definitely a thing which is just weird weekly progress which is which is
3:55
when has the FCC ever moved that fast yeah um which like hopefully it's all
4:00
genuine and awesome and I would I would love to believe that it is um but it
4:05
just it makes me wary that there's something in there that no one's really
4:08
seen yet that allows them to do something that we don't want them to do yeah I mean there's lots of sort of I
4:13
mean it's not like there aren't plenty of things the FCC has done in the past that have been somewhat questionable I
4:17
mean the whole nipplegate thing was I was reading one article that brought
4:20
that up as uh you know do we really want these guys in charge of regulating
4:25
really much of anything um you know based on that you know we were dealing
4:29
with Fallout from that you know Years Years Later from that that Legendary
4:36
Super Bowl performance although not quite as legendary as left and right
4:39
shark or that or that dress that's been making the rounds on the internet I I
4:44
couldn't even believe how much every
4:48
single feed that people have into me was exploding with asking me what color and
4:53
I actually thought it was a joke I I I thought someone was trolling me so I I
4:57
looked it up did you looked it up I no I had it sent to me and I was like I I had
5:01
it sent to me from my girlfriend so I thought it was an actual question and
5:06
like she was shopping for the dress so I answered as if it was an actual question
5:10
and then like minutes later got bombarded by everyone else and was like
5:14
what the heck and then I thought it was just an elaborate troll from her and
5:19
then realized eventually no this was like definitely a giant internet thing
5:23
and was like wow the funny thing about it is that image is not any more
5:27
exceptional than any other the images out there where if you look at a white
5:31
background it's X color and if you look at a dark background then it's y color
5:36
it's actually in my opinion less exceptional than a lot of them yeah like
5:39
some of them are like really like mind screwy like awesome that one is like no
5:44
it was taken under odd
5:48
light anyway
5:52
um uh so Tom Tom wheeler write another quote from him so no one whether
5:56
government or corporate should control access to the open internet there is no
6:00
more a plan to regulate the internet than the first amendment is a plan to
6:04
regulate Free Speech some people call this a secret plan to regulate the
6:08
internet that's nonsense uh that's that's a quote from him and that that
6:11
makes me even more scared when whenever anyone like points out like oh this is
6:15
definitely not a secret plan it's just like well the thing though is that
6:20
that's been about the only sort of somewhat valid sounding criticism that
6:25
anti-et neutrality supporters have been able to throw at them like oh well
6:30
there's this document that uh is like really big and I wish I could tell you
6:34
guys what's in it cuz it's like really bad and uh you know yeah it's like super
6:40
bad but you know whatever I guess you could just go with the flow here which
6:45
is so so sketchy Verizon is apparently salty as hell um and Verizon's like
6:50
trying to throw back as much as they can but at this point
6:54
um changing a platform that has been so successful should be done if at all
7:00
only after careful policy analysis full transparency and by the legislature
7:05
which is constitutionally charged with determining policy I mean a big part of
7:09
the problem though is that uh American
7:12
policy makers government officials are literally sending literally just
7:18
signing letters that are written by isps
7:22
so it's like no point in them actually existing anymore yeah all right NVIDIA's
7:27
CEO and president on the GTX X 970 and I promise this is the last time we're
7:32
going to discuss the gtx970 on this show
7:35
um oh we never right we never said who posted the last thing I got all thrown
7:40
off by problems so that was posted by Victoria Secret did you post the link in
7:44
the chat I did actually awesome all right so let's go ahead and fire up
7:48
blogs. NVIDIA.com so Jensen has addressed it directly now um oh I don't
7:55
even I don't I don't even have an HDMI cable awesome is the capture card at
8:00
least here probably not probably not it
8:04
is oh it is the capture card is here
8:07
right cuz we used the other one the other one yeah the higher the better
8:12
more better one yeah ow oh you guys
8:15
should see what he's doing right now it's actually kind of impressive
8:19
especially after uh certain last night
8:22
activities after what certain last night
8:26
activities right yeah that was fun that was actually a lot of fun that was like
8:30
the most fun that I've had in an empty uh abandoned building yeah I can
8:35
probably agree with that very long time yeah although it's not abandoned okay
8:39
not abandoned I guess if we're there it's not abandoned yeah so so there's
8:43
that all right let's go ahead and uh see if my screen sharing is wow look at that
8:48
it just worked oh goodness oh did you know that your Norton requires
8:52
registration oh wow okay you should get on that and your computer is possibly
8:57
under attack for the next 10 minutes on the W show lius registering Norton
9:03
Internet Security congratulations oh wow you made a great
9:08
decision let's have okay I'm done with
9:11
this joke all right and it's over so here's here's the letter so basically
9:15
Jensen says look we we made the 970 as
9:19
good as we could make it we we think it's a great card we think you think
9:23
it's a great card um we screwed up won't
9:27
happen again we're sorry
9:31
so yeah um one interesting point that uh
9:35
we talked about on the W show last week and I had um uh Luca P message me about
9:40
was someone was saying that oh well hold on a second cuz that memory on the
9:45
gtx970 that that last slower 500 Megs is
9:48
actually not even as fast as system memory in many cases if you have a quad
9:54
Channel configuration or high-speed memory and I kind of went oh yeah good
9:57
point but what I didn't think about at the time was that your system memory's
10:02
ability to work as Graphics memory is still going to be limited by PCI Express
10:06
so you're still better off having that memory on the card even if it's slower
10:11
than your system memory um is able to communicate with your CPU because you're
10:15
going to be limited by PCIe so I was like oh yeah that's right I completely
10:21
what do you want Nick I have an HDMI cable they're just
10:25
trolling you at this point yeah they are just trolling you actually
10:29
I'm sorry Nick you're being trolled no I'm trying to be helpful not
10:34
by me no no we we have an HDMI C we fixed it like a while ago yeah like if
10:38
people are telling you to get us an HDMI cable they're like trolling you hard
10:41
yeah bye Nick thanks for trying to help
10:45
Nick um your appreciated employee of the company the last article was posted by
10:50
hitsu one on the Forum and this one was posted by cryon on the Forum so I'm
10:54
going to go ahead and pull this up there's any number of of different
10:58
sources on this I mean everybody is talking about this right now it broke
11:03
what about 6 or seven hours ago that Leonard neoy has passed away at 83 um he
11:10
announced his condition about a year ago attributed it to years of smoking even
11:15
though he hasn't smoked in 30 years
11:18
um but yeah there's just there's
11:22
honestly it was it was really fun I read a variety of Articles it's you can't
11:26
really get so everyone has a bit of a different spin on on sort of his life
11:30
and what it me and and what he accomplished and so I I found myself
11:34
just kind of reading for about you know 20 minutes 30 minutes and it's it's
11:38
actually amazing how people can be can
11:43
be kind of crammed into this box it's
11:47
like yeah he was Spock when actually he
11:50
did so much more than just play SP
11:54
whether it was stuff that was well regarded like voice acting or stuff that
11:58
was um universally pissed on like his singing um and spoken word it's his
12:04
singing was great so so it's it's it's just I don't know it's just it's it's uh
12:10
it's it's really interesting how it takes someone it takes someone passing
12:13
away to really have a look at what they meant as an as an artist and as a human
12:16
being um and he seems like it seems like
12:20
as much as he got sort of shoehorned into just being Spock forever um he
12:24
didn't seem to mind it that much I me you look at the titles of the autobiographies you you look at at um
12:31
someone music some uh someone left a really good quote that uh that was from
12:35
him that was uh I'm not SP but if I was going to be anyone but myself then I
12:40
that's who I would be something along those lines so thought that was really
12:43
cool um yeah I mean other than my honestly uh
12:50
I was never like a huge Trey just because we didn't have a ton of TV when
12:53
I was growing up did you even have a TV we usually had a TV that CRT that I
12:59
still own right that was like I had that TV when I was growing up okay I'm just
13:03
did you have a service for it not always
13:06
right um so yeah I didn't watch a ton of it but one thing that really resonates
13:11
for me with Leonard nemoy is the narration of civilization 4 oh yeah that
13:16
was awesome so like thousands of hours of my life have been narrated by him
13:21
right and because I like the narration of that game so much that's one of the
13:25
few games of that style that I would never listen to music over time top of
13:30
right and like I wouldn't watch Netflix at the same time or anything I would
13:33
actually just listen to the narration cuz I liked it and like it's part of the
13:36
reason why I struggle to really go to Civ 5 as much even though it's like a
13:41
better game in my opinion with all the expansions I'll still go back and play Civ 4 sometimes just because I like the
13:46
narration so much more so yeah I don't
13:49
know that kind of sucks a lot I play a lot of Civ
13:52
so yeah um for our next topic uh some of
13:58
you probably a large number of you very likely noticed that we uh we posted an
14:03
Instagram picture last night of our new
14:07
office space so um I've got a little bit
14:11
of video that will serve as kind of a a teaser For an upcoming Channel Super Fun
14:16
video we're hoping to have this released uh hopefully sometime next week so let's
14:21
go ahead and go over to Linus's screen here but um this is this is it this is
14:27
the new space this is is
14:30
burkel being Burl yeah skateboarding
14:35
around and uh yeah having fun being a construction
14:41
worker for some reason he he does do
14:46
things I'm sure he's talking I I can't I can't hear him I'm going to mute that
14:50
just in case it's like crazy Lou or being obscene or you know whatever else
14:55
there's tan being tan these guys are quite the characters anyway so um I've
15:00
had quite a number of people request a new office tour already and as you can
15:05
see there is not a whole lot to tour
15:09
some some people in the chat are already like what office that's a warehouse yes
15:15
that is a warehouse uh and that's basically all it does right now yeah um
15:20
the oh man the sound in there the Acoustics in there super bad horrendous
15:27
uh just for fun we uh Luke you were the one with the stopwatch right yeah yeah
15:31
so we had Burl dropped his skateboard from like head height and then Luke
15:37
timed it for how long it took for the the bang to to dissipate how long did it
15:42
take 7 and A2 seconds 7 and 1/2 seconds
15:46
that is how much so bad yeah I got
15:49
people asking where's the kitchen well the kitchen uh will not be there well
15:55
technically there will be a little like kitchenet thing where there's like
15:59
somewhere to warm up your Hot Pockets but it's not going to be a house so
16:02
there isn't going to be a we should try to get sponsored by Mountain Dew and Hot
16:05
Pockets that'll be so epic and Doritos yeah just because no no no old school
16:11
just Hot Pockets just hot pockets and Mountain Dew yeah so like we can't have
16:15
any of the like new amazing exciting colors of Mountain Dew just n
16:20
classic crap pepperoni Hot Pockets very
16:23
nice yeah um got people asking if the server will still be in the bathroom uh
16:28
no no we are going to have we should just have like a fake toilet in the
16:32
server room just put a toilet in the server a bath just don't even like Plum
16:36
them or hook them up just like Plum them that should be the entire joke is they
16:40
should be plumbed and the water should be on at all times just in case yeah
16:45
yeah oh man that would be pretty fun um
16:48
got got people asking about acoustic Pham uh yes we are looking into a lot of
16:53
different options um I can tell you right now some of the stuff that's being
16:58
quoted is like not happening like uh if you guys paid any attention to the tip
17:02
starter campaign we raised somewhere between what was it around 32 to $35,000
17:07
I think so something along those lines I can check right now so for one of the
17:12
quotes that we got for um acoustic
17:16
treatment of the ceiling $36,000 uh one of the quotes we got for
17:21
acoustic treatment was
17:24
$60,000 um so for okay so first of all
17:28
for for those of you who were upset that we crowdfunded helping with the new
17:32
place that should put some perspective
17:35
on the amount of money that we raised in the amount of money that obviously
17:39
remains for us to pay for ourselves um but uh yeah we are not
17:45
going with that $60,000 option we've we've actually gotten a quote on a very
17:50
similar treatment for way less like a fraction of that but it is not the same
17:55
treatment but yeah yeah basically the same treatment actually is it yeah yeah
18:00
like one guy was just like fleecing us as far as I can tell or trying to I
18:04
think those other dudes are too it's like what a bunch of like computer dudes
18:08
okay 60 Grand the the bathroom movement change yeah I think I think that's BS I
18:13
think they're being buttheads too yeah so we're going to win some we're
18:18
going to lose some and at the end of the day we're going to have um it'll be um
18:23
an office space kind of where I was standing in that video that you guys saw
18:27
and then other than that it's going to be all room for for sets and for for
18:33
filming the stuff that we do now as well as some of the other cool ideas that we
18:36
have for the future yeah so there you go
18:40
are we are we going to tease what we actually did at all oh I think we should
18:44
yeah should I should I find like a clip or something like that yeah like don't
18:48
show too much but maybe just like a drag I watched all of it it's awesome all of
18:52
it's awesome yeah I don't know how they're going to make this short enough
18:55
this is not the drag at all is this going to have to be like like in
18:59
separate parts like honestly the leadup the
19:05
race and the thing is like every one of the races the whole thing is
19:10
interesting right all right this is the end of one
19:14
of them oh no it's not oh okay well that's a pretty good moment here let's
19:18
let's uh let's go ahead let's let's capture let's capture that moment for
19:22
the live viewers here hold on hold on hold on hold on I don't want to I don't
19:25
want to like spoil it all right so what
19:28
would you do if you were you know hanging out having a pizza party with a
19:32
bunch of your co-workers in an empty Warehouse well we came up with one idea
19:44
yeah right so there's uh there's going to be
19:49
a lot of moments like that so stay stay
19:52
stay tuned guys cuz this is going to be one heck of a Channel Super Fun video
19:57
I'm happy you didn't show the part right after that yeah I know that would have given away the outcome of uh that race
20:01
no no this is like nail nail biting like
20:06
we we can't reveal anything to you guys we're not going to tell you who made the semis we're not going to tell you how it
20:11
went down because it is like yeah it it was heat based like it it like came down
20:16
there was a losers bracket and like someone came out of the losers bracket
20:19
because that's fun and cool way to do things and like uh yeah it it was
20:24
actually pretty different styles of races I don't know if I can tease this
20:28
in enough like it's yeah do you think this will be better than Connect
20:32
4 and better than I think so better than shot callers I don't know if it'll be
20:37
better than sh Connect 4 had some great moments it did but this was epic the
20:42
entire time that was one thing that I liked about this that's why I said I don't know how you're supposed to cut it
20:46
down cuz like seriously I watched every single race over again and was like
20:49
enthralled the entire time for every race like I don't know you even
20:54
participated in a lot of I know I that's what I'm saying like even watching it
20:58
back was really cool um so I yeah I I
21:02
don't envy the editor is basically all I have to say because that's going to be
21:06
difficult we'll just do six parts every every racing heat can video
21:11
part but like six subp parts yeah part one part one B part one C and then just
21:18
end it like there is a reason that we did scrapyard Wars that way by the way
21:23
scrapyard Wars uh the Epic conclusion is coming out in uh wow about 31 hours so
21:31
uh hang on to your hang on to your seats guys because it is going to be I can
21:36
tell you this no matter who you were
21:39
rooting for and no matter what you expected you will be surprised probably
21:44
yeah by the outcome yeah and then um so
21:48
scrapyard Wars is coming out right so the reason that we numbered it 1 a 1B in
21:52
the first place is that scrapyard Wars is very much a long-term plan for us in
21:58
fact uh we are setting up like a dedicated
22:01
set in the new building where we're
22:04
going to have is that me oops uh where
22:08
we're going to have tools and we're going to have um like a workshop type
22:14
environment where we're going to be able to do much cooler scrapyard war or like
22:20
build log type stuff um we are really
22:23
really excited fun we even have more ideas which I won't tease too much right
22:27
now but like yeah that style of content will definitely continue to be a thing
22:31
yeah I mean we had we had people asking us you know hey are you guys going to do
22:36
more of these please do more of these the fact that the first one came out
22:39
titled 1A yeah more of them were already coming
22:44
we knew we were on to something we didn't know it was quite that good yeah
22:49
like we didn't know it was going to be that huge but you guys can definitely
22:53
expect some more like really cool more TV format style content
22:59
yeah yeah it's going to be uh it's going to be a crazy year hey it's going to be
23:03
interesting yeah it was kind of weird being in the office last night cuz like
23:08
the going from yeah cuz I still very
23:11
vividly remember freezing my ass off in the garage wearing your winter coat
23:15
while you worked upstairs benchmarking Titan for a week like it's it's a little
23:21
different now I was legitimately upstairs because there wasn't enough
23:25
room for me the G yeah I wasn't blaming you at all I'm just saying like this
23:29
this that was an exact scene that I remember you know what's funny is I would love to show Burl burkel and
23:34
Brandon were over at the warehouse with me today and uh I would love to show
23:39
Burl the way that I had our white box
23:43
set up cuz like honestly honestly like
23:46
we were were like they want every set like pointing into a corner like the
23:50
original layout that they gave me was going to take up like the entire thing
23:54
just for Wow green screen LT and the
23:59
workshop and I was just like that is four sets we have that many sets now in
24:06
a much smaller space let's rejigger this
24:09
so um so I was like we were kind of we
24:13
set aside places for some of the more permanent stuff like w show we're not
24:16
going to move it we want it to be very like cool looking in the background and
24:22
like have a kind of a theme to it the workshop obviously isn't going to move
24:25
cuz we should have people submit ideas for what the background could look like
24:29
for wo we could definitely do that we have someone helping us with the designs
24:33
and actually um she showed us a concept that it's Ester um my wife's sister n
24:39
from NC yeah so um she showed me some concepts for wo like with reclaimed
24:44
reclaimed wood for one side and then like I think some kind tin metal or
24:48
whatever yeah like metal or something for the other one and like some pretty
24:51
cool ideas Brandon and burkel were figuring out how to I had minor comments
24:55
on that just based on framing CU a lot of the stuff that she showed was actually of what would have been framing
24:59
for the show so we might be able to save money and then invest in better areas
25:04
and check with those guys about like exactly where it'll be but um but anyway
25:08
so we we kind of in between two set
25:11
places where they wanted to put something was like this flat wall and
25:15
like quite wide like 10 12 ft of flat
25:18
wall and I was like okay well why don't we put every all the permanent stuff
25:23
where it goes and then we'll any empty spaces we'll kind of classify them as
25:28
like a b or c where a would be like
25:31
Prime real estate like Optimal like Flagship content goes here and B would
25:35
be somewhere in between and C would be the worst and at this flat wall they're
25:39
like that's a C I'm like this is better
25:42
than anything we have now and they're just like yeah it's a
25:52
c okay then well
25:56
fine yeah I think I think he
25:59
probably yeah have have a little bit of an Awakening if he saw like like the
26:03
unboxing set in the garage which was
26:06
like my desk oh yeah where like he had
26:11
to like move and stop working whenever I had to film an unboxing which was fine
26:15
because at that time we were doing this ghetto uh dual camera setup feeding into
26:21
like a capture PC and then we were doing like a multicam thing in Premiere in
26:26
order to cut so one person was doing b-roll the entire time live and then the
26:30
other person was doing a roll the entire time live I still think that's a cool
26:34
concept and I still think something like that like could be really neat but
26:40
conventional camera operators would need to check their preconceptions at the
26:45
door in order to make something like that work
26:48
um I actually I I personally prefer
26:52
filming that way that's why I don't mind filming stuff like super fun is it seems
26:56
more natural for me right the the like kind of Run and Gun style like oh I got
27:00
to kind of get in there makes more sense to me the like we never learned to do it
27:04
properly when no exactly it's not right but it like it works and like I can make
27:09
sure that I have the right thing on camera and I can make sure that it's you'll be able to see it once it
27:13
actually gets blown up and whatnot but like it's not right at all that's fine
27:18
all right uh speaking of things that are not right at all um actually this is I
27:24
guess it seems fine this was posted by clock 8003 on the Forum and and Pebble
27:28
has the kickstarter up for the Oh for crying out loud is
27:33
that let what is it doing something
27:36
about the audio devices like I think it's the it's like the creative driver
27:41
or something like that on this laptop makes it spazz out every time I every
27:46
time I switch to it it gets confused about audio devices I think I'm just
27:49
going to remove that remove that driver I usually do anyways to be honest yeah I
27:55
can't see any reason why I need some creative control p
27:59
on my computer to make my life more difficult yeah um there it is okay yeah
28:04
so every time this sound blaster thing comes up Pebble time awesome Smartwatch
28:09
no compromises has raised 11 million
28:12
from 51,000 backers on Kickstarter since it
28:16
went up uh this went up what a couple days ago something like that y um so
28:21
it's going to have a color eaper display this time with the same s same battery
28:26
life Target so they figure around seven days of battery life so I'll probably
28:30
get like four four to five I'm a bit of a heavy user um it's got a more
28:35
ergonomic curved design uh they've redone the software so old apps will
28:41
still work but the way you access the apps is a little bit different and the
28:44
way you access your notifications and messages is a little different everything is time based which is
28:49
actually both like pretentious and also
28:53
really cool and logical like it's like oh yeah okay so you kind of go down to
28:58
see the future up to see the past and then whatever's present is is there
29:02
right now I'm like oh that actually is a really smart way to see what's coming
29:06
next and you know what I just missed and all that kind of stuff that actually
29:09
feels more you know how material design is supposed to be like kind of papers on
29:12
your desk yeah the Future Past Time based thing actually kind of feels more
29:16
natural than that absolutely so three colors available exclusively on
29:20
Kickstarter I got to imagine Kickstarter is like throwing a whack of cash at them
29:25
versus the other way around to run this campaign because there's absolutely no
29:29
reason for them to Kickstarter this other than just creating that Splash and
29:33
maybe helping hype Kickstarter I mean they they say right in their campaign
29:37
video compared to last time yeah it's
29:40
pretty much done all we need is your support so all they need is orders yeah
29:46
they could have just launched it it's they're they're a pretty big company now
29:50
they said they sold they've sold 100 million Pebbles so even at an average
29:55
sell price of let's say $14 9 so or
29:59
let's say let's even say 140 that's still going to be $140 million of
30:04
Revenue in the short couple of years that they've existed they're doing all right over there yeah so um yeah I I
30:11
would I'm going to try and get a review unit no I didn't order one through the kickstarter I'm uh I'm I'm sort of I'm
30:17
sort of annoyed with them because my last ordering experience was so terrible
30:21
and um with Pebble yeah yeah yeah with Pebble so I figured this time around if
30:26
they want to see me a unit review it if they don't then forget it right um cuz
30:30
honestly it doesn't look that revolutionary like the animations on
30:34
screen look nicer they've obviously beefed up the processor it's a color
30:38
screen which is something that I've been asking for for a while that's a that's a
30:41
big improvement over the previous ones to me um I didn't see anything about the
30:45
DPI of the screen like I don't know if it's actually going to be higher
30:49
resolution based on that they are promising backwards compatibility with
30:53
all the existing apps I would probably guess no but some of the does this not
30:58
have like a metal band option not sure it's possible it'll end
31:02
up with one it definitely has replaceable bands yeah so actually it's
31:06
funny you can see the thing that we're yeah you can see that this my screen
31:11
sharing is not working again which is
31:15
awesome so let's go ahead hello yeah
31:18
it's just us in a black screen there we go there you go so you guys can see how
31:24
easy it is to change it over looks like they've changed their charging mechanism
31:27
yet again um something that was a real frustration for me with the Pebble Steel and I
31:32
understand that they improved it I just wish they would kind of do it right in
31:36
the first place at some point here because it means that I'm getting a new
31:39
set of charging cables every single time I upgrade my
31:43
Pebble um yeah I don't know I guess that's all I really have to say about it
31:48
I still don't think I'm fully ready for a smartwatch really I'm still waiting
31:52
for some more Vis Visions I think right I don't know I I really like it I've
31:56
gotten very accustomed to it I think they're getting close but I'm still waiting for a little bit more gatr is my
32:01
daily driver um Android Weare definitely still has some quirks but I I do I do
32:06
really like it um one bad news about the
32:09
uh about the the new Pebble time well
32:12
just Pebble in general and this was posted by actually the last one was
32:16
posted by oh I already said that this one was posted by rafy on the Forum ra
32:20
rafy but uh Microsoft was in talks with Pebble like one of the things that I
32:24
actually I personally complained about when I was uh using Windows phone for my
32:30
last attempt to switch to it with the HTC1 M8 Windows phone edition um one of
32:35
the things that I called out as specifically a big problem for me was
32:39
the terrible Pebble support like it could do some things but like basic
32:45
stuff like incoming calls was not working and uh so we've got a little bit
32:50
more insight into what happened there there's a good article on Windows
32:55
central.com did you post this in the chat already yeah all right let's go
32:58
ahead and pull this up oh okay this is not the right thing
33:04
that's frustrating we have like uh we've
33:07
already fixed that I worked we worked on it today oh okay we've fixed it won't be
33:12
like this in future docks ah okay all
33:15
right so there's here's the article on Windows central.com Pebble Microsoft and
33:19
what could have been with Windows phone so Microsoft was in talks with Pebble um
33:23
Pebble basically said well if you guys
33:27
completely make the app yourselves then
33:31
uh okay and then uh Pebbles Pebbles CEO
33:35
stepped in when the app was done so it had been in development for months
33:38
basically done it it didn't have the store integration yet that's no store
33:41
integration but they had a plan to integrate Cortana which would have been
33:45
super cool Pebble time has a microphone now so having Cortana support on the
33:50
wristwatch would have been definitely an improvement over um yeah that would have
33:54
been nice over the third party support that Apple and Google are giving to
33:57
someone like like Pebble especially given that they each have their own
34:02
Smartwatch platforms now like it to me from from a business standpoint I would
34:07
be looking at the partner that is aligning with me more closely versus
34:11
just sort of um your personal distaste
34:15
for Microsoft and their mobile OS have we have we mentioned that he yeah you
34:19
said he veed against it allegedly the reason yeah allegedly the reason so who
34:23
knows uh I don't want to put too much on him but it is a little frustrating that
34:28
uh allegedly the reason is that he has a personal distaste for Microsoft and
34:32
their mobile OS it's like okay well you're not helping things at all yeah
34:37
it's not it's not like it can get better I mean the the biggest complaint that I
34:41
had about about Windows phone and a lot of people were upset that I gave it such
34:46
a Negative review and the negative review had nothing to do with how good
34:50
of a a baseline operating system it is
34:54
or you know how Windows Live tiles are very beautiful and all these things it
34:58
was because as a user trying to like do
35:02
things in my day it's not useful because
35:06
the third party app support is terrible and I cited specific examples people
35:10
like well I don't have a drop cam I don't care if you have a drop cam the
35:13
point is when I go to the store and I
35:17
pick something up off a shelf I would like for it to work without me changing
35:22
my phone I'm going to pick a phone platform that I expect to get some kind
35:26
of support but with with like Pebble specifically stonewalling Microsoft how
35:30
is that ever going to change um so I feel for the Windows Phone users out
35:34
there and actually I I feel for Windows Phone users some more because um there
35:40
was there was another big for Windows Phone uh here it is yeah got it let's go
35:45
do you want to post this one in the for in the uh chat so this was posted by
35:49
Rude and the article here is from wiba beta.org
35:53
please work look at that it's like working all of a sudden so after after
35:57
Google partnership soft card will be shutting down their Android app as well
36:03
as their Windows Phone app so Windows phone already had a contactless pay
36:10
system um and Google has
36:13
basically absorbed soft card acquiring
36:17
patents and Technologies and um and
36:20
apparently the uh the the the right to to use them at all so there's no
36:25
particular date but there is an official statement that says it will be shutting
36:31
down all wallets will be terminated at some termination date which will be
36:35
provided soon apparently y brutal
36:39
Windows phone just got double slapped yep not good and like these are
36:43
all both the the problem is that both of these issues are the main issue with the
36:48
phone you need more app support and they just got slammed twice and it needs to
36:51
be just generally more useful yeah um speaking of being generally more useful
36:56
the HTC1 m n will hopefully be generally
36:59
more useful than the one I8 yay Segways
37:03
uh this was posted by KZ mens on the Forum um and actually it's a pretty good
37:07
post it's got some leaked what look like official HTC videos so the um every time
37:13
man I'm going to I'm going to yeah I know right HTC leaks every time yeah but
37:18
who doesn't I mean there were S6 leaks this week I know but didn't didn't they
37:22
uh like fire two people last time or
37:25
something if I recall correctly yes some some kid posted them online and then
37:29
both of his parents got fired or something something along those lines I think that's what supposedly happened
37:34
yeah um so here I'm going to go ahead
37:37
I'll yay hooray I wonder if there's a quicker
37:42
way to do this if while you're doing that refesh some people in the chat have
37:46
figured out what I've done with my shirts and some people are trying to
37:49
they don't really get it but it's black and
37:52
blue get it a get it
38:03
or wait is it golden white I don't do you know it's black and
38:08
blue or gold and white which one is it
38:12
what are you wearing can you tell what yeah I can tell jeez I don't know I got
38:17
to ask the whole internet cuz like I don't you know I
38:22
don't know under a different light maybe it's different maybe the colors change
38:25
based on the lighting or the background okay who knows right yeah we should ask
38:30
the whole internet see what they think maybe post it on
38:33
Facebook I just you know the the funny thing about you know internet meme crap
38:39
is that I know that if you know as soon
38:43
as stuff like this hits if we put our entire team in motion making some
38:48
ridiculous video oh yeah we could get a ton of views but I just I feel like I
38:53
feel like dirty i' feel like I'd like to believe I'm above that
38:58
like back when I think the first time I vetoed someone internally wanting to do
39:03
like some meme stupid video was Harlem Shake and I was just like we we did it
39:09
it never made it never saw the light of day no we filmed it but it never we
39:12
filmed like sort of a similar thing but
39:17
I was just like no and you know even you
39:20
know what I have a lot of respect for Freddy Wong a lot of respect for Freddy
39:25
Wong but making a video like every time
39:30
about how stupid the thing is is still doing it yeah you're jumping on the
39:36
exact same hype train you're just jumping on the other side it is the same
39:39
bandwagon and so I saw him do one recently that was kind of like that and
39:44
the reason that I thought of this was because I remember back when they did
39:48
Harlem Shake he they did a thing where someone walked in and shot the person
39:52
that was doing it or something like that right yeah so I was like so so you're
39:56
doing this more than once if you do it once where you're like yes we are above
40:00
this we're not going to acknowledge this it's stupid we should shoot those people
40:04
but we should go back and find like every like hardcore major meme in The
40:08
Last 5 Years and do one one video
40:12
destroying all of them and then just being like all right it's out of our
40:15
system we'll never do it again or if we are going to start hopping on those
40:19
bandwagons then we should do it properly and we should have like a channel for it
40:23
right like if we're just going to have a channel that's just like let's make make
40:27
really stupid videos have like a get like a crazy announcer voice and do it
40:31
like a movie trailer like in a world
40:34
where blue is white and black is gold I
40:38
don't remember how it's even supposed to go but I think the blue was gold but regardless
40:42
um how do you tell what people are
40:45
wearing how do you color coordinate when there is no such thing so some of you
40:50
probably noticed I was playing that 1 M9 maybe that's what isus was doing with
40:54
their golden motherboards they thought it was blue they didn't even know they
40:59
didn't mean to screw that up it's supposed to be blue ow just like all
41:04
their old ones it was us that was seeing
41:07
the motherboard improperly it's a blue motherboard are people egging you on in
41:11
twitch chat I'm not even looking at twitch chat they probably hate me right
41:16
now do it Luke I think they're behind a little bit yeah all right so the 1 M9
41:22
the chin bar is still present it now has a two-tone color scheme
41:31
uh the videos someone better get yeah someone's gonna do that the videos
41:35
showcase some new features uh it's going to come with Cent 7 it has some photo
41:39
editing stuff it has custom themes which
41:42
is like okay um one thing that's kind of neat is it has some location based
41:46
awareness so it'll show you different icons and food recommendations depending
41:50
on the location I mean there are after aftermarket launchers like av8 that
41:53
already do that um uh it includes clud an UltraPixel
41:58
front camera now for better low light apparently a 20 megapixel rear camera
42:02
they've abandoned Ultra pixels there and they're just going for yay back to the
42:05
megapixel race um you know they held out for two years that's pretty good uh blah
42:11
blah blah improved boom boom sound now with Doby surround and is set to
42:14
officially unveil at the M9 March 1st
42:18
press conference I have not been invited nor have I been offered a review unit so
42:21
I'm not sure if we're doing a review but what we'll definitely be doing a review
42:25
of a lot of people did unboxings of these I thought it was kind of amusing
42:30
but we don't really do unboxings on LT yet uh anymore anyway so I thought would
42:36
do it on the land show so it says start here for those of you who haven't seen
42:40
it and this is this is pretty cute so it comes with um one of those rebrandable
42:45
Kingston data traveler USB drives that
42:49
presumably has some press oh hey a 4 gig here you go cool actually useful so it
42:53
has USB 2 yeah presumably like a press deck on it or something
42:57
um and then this is this is C welcome to the new Moto E press conference today
43:01
we're doing something different you will probably have enough events in press
43:05
conferences to sit through next week I won't but I'm sure important people do
43:09
uh so we're bringing the launch directly to you experience the new Moto E the way
43:12
so start with your
43:15
badge except you didn't go to the conference no there isn't one oh
43:21
everyone gets this hold on oh so there isn't a
43:25
conference uh oh oh oh wow see so this
43:30
is the conference yeah so there they got the little Velvet Rope and then you you
43:34
got a something yeah here we go what
43:37
there's your seat and then there's the
43:41
presenter with the phone and uh some like features and stuff and then you
43:46
open this up oops you do you have to rip it no not
43:53
at all oh that sucks
43:57
wow and inside is the motoi so this is
44:02
the new second gen motoi 149 um specs
44:05
look pretty good actually it's got a quad core Snapdragon hoopy doop can't
44:11
remember uh 400 sounds right I'm going
44:15
to click this thing and it's hopefully going to take me to the right place yeah
44:18
Snapdragon 410 it's got a gig of RAM it's got a 960x 540 display 2390 mAh
44:25
battery it comes with Android 5 5.0 Lollipop and supports LTE now so it's
44:31
still kind of like it's um it's it's
44:35
just on the sort of thick side of kind
44:39
of feeling a little bit bulky also the fact that the Actually I don't even
44:43
think it's thicker than my Droid Turbo let me have a
44:48
look yeah oh yeah it is not by much but
44:51
but it is thicker and it's smaller so it does make it feel a little bit a little
44:55
bit boxier um um but the fact that the
44:58
materials are are less premium I think contributes more to the the weird
45:02
feeling this although it fits nicely in the hand so I'll say that about it 4 and
45:06
1 half inch screen if I haven't said that already so guys uh I will switch to
45:10
it now I've been putting it off because and I'm sure Motorola won't mind this
45:13
too much but because I like my other phone so much that it's hard for me to
45:18
switch to other ones these days I just hate switching phones and it's something
45:22
I have to do every time I do a review but I really like the droid turbo and I
45:27
really don't like not using it so um
45:30
yeah forgive me Motorola I will start my review I will work on it and then I will
45:35
review your your inexpensive cell phone and then I will switch back to the other
45:40
one I like it better review your inexpensive cell phone and then switch back to your expensive cell phone
45:45
yep that's funny um all right Lenovo CTO
45:51
hey look around we're not the only ones with crapware infections this is posted
45:55
by op code on the Forum uh Lenovo but as of two days later Lenovo promises
46:00
cleaner safer PCS so if you guys haven't been keeping up I'm going to pull up the
46:04
RS article here hopefully yep there it
46:07
is if you guys haven't been keeping up there was some uh ad wear um issues with
46:13
select Lenovo PCS that were shipped in about Q4 last year basically it allowed
46:19
um it allowed a it allowed your access to secure
46:25
websites to not be secure at all yeah so
46:29
this this adware app could basically see completely unencrypted information that
46:35
you were sending to https secured websites um because it
46:41
just had this backdoor nonsense that
46:44
holy crap how did this not get caught um
46:48
so yeah I mean at all is there a whole
46:52
lot for us to really say about this other than that no there there's some cool things that L noo is hopefully
46:57
doing they they said they're going to do so hopefully they actually follow
47:00
through but they're they're planning on and like maybe this won't be super helpful for everyone but it will be
47:04
super helpful for some people um they're planning on listing all included
47:08
software on the outside of the box so you'll know everything that's coming
47:11
with it which is not really a thing when you buy laptops so that is actually a
47:15
nice change um part of the problem that might suck with that is places like Best
47:19
Buy if you're buying it from there um aren't going to list that and you're not
47:22
going to see the Box you're not going to see the Box until it's at the till and I
47:26
don't know if this is a requirement for online retailers to actually list
47:30
everything so they might just not list it because I don't think it's
47:34
necessarily up to Len NOA what gets listed by the on online retailers um so
47:38
I don't know how much that'll actually change um hopefully it with that said
47:41
they've also committed to install Less blo on their machines less overall which
47:46
is great they're going to give people a sixth month subscription of
47:50
maffy to anyone who was affected by the
47:53
uh by the superfish software it's like y
47:56
thank you you let me or you could download Flash let me promptly not
48:01
install that and then get a free trial anyways but everyone unchecks that box
48:06
so what do you think is going to happen I don't know just say um so this is
48:11
posted by command man 7 on the Forum um
48:14
going to oh the last one was posted by op code did we see that I don't remember
48:18
okay uh so this is also an RS Technic uh post here Intel forges ahead to 10
48:24
nanometer will move away
48:28
at n yeah so they're trying to keep up with
48:32
Mo's law I mean it is he did work for Intel so it's like kind of you know
48:37
Intel you know kind of started this thing so it's kind of up to them to keep
48:41
it going um so they're looking at new materials they're looking at 3D
48:45
packaging so potentially stacking dieses on top of each other like we've seen
48:50
happen with nand flash quite recently um
48:54
and I'm not really sure what else there really is for us to say you know it's
48:59
exciting though because a lot of people have been talking about hitting the wall for a really long time so they're
49:04
they're doing what we have been saying for a long time which is change your
49:08
game up and the thing is that people that are not Intel uh have been saying
49:12
oh you know we're reaching this is going to be this is a hard wall we're we're coming up against a wall Intel is saying
49:17
no this is just a silicon wall we'll find a new wall we'll we'll we'll change
49:21
the game up we'll start stacking things we'll start kind of stacking things to
49:26
2.5d or whatever um or we'll change materials or we do something else very
49:31
cool so they're trying all kinds of different stuff they're looking into indium gallium aride as a replacement
49:35
but they're trying all kinds of other stuff graphine gallium nitride carbon
49:40
Nano tubes I mean that's a material that everyone in their dog was talking about
49:44
carbon Nano tubes like 5 years ago and like what has become of it we're still
49:50
talking about it well know we're still talking about the problem is creating uh
49:53
well not a ton of it's being used for necessarily this yet guess but the
49:57
problem is creating large structures with it is not is very very difficult y
50:01
so I'm excited to see all that talk about all the potential that carbon
50:06
nanot tubes have I'm excited to see that actually turn into something that I can
50:09
own and hold that's a big problem right now um so their planned indium Gallum
50:14
arsenide transistor is 22 NM in length
50:17
which might not sound that impressive um
50:21
but you know it's going to remember
50:24
they've had all this time to work on Silicon yeah they need more like research and development time
50:28
essentially so they can get used to working with it and whatnot then they can improve upon it from there so Indian
50:32
Gallum indium G indium gallium arsenide
50:35
ability to conduct electrons is about five times better than silicon boom uh
50:40
material is already widely used in fiber optic applications and in radar systems
50:44
um they're also looking into uh not only 3D packaging but also 2 and 1/2 D
50:48
packaging where separate dieses are placed side by side on an interposer um
50:53
all kinds of new and exciting stuff I uh
50:57
I I am this is super cool I I hope that we see like performance SKS I have to
51:02
okay on some level I have to I have to
51:06
believe that Intel still does want to improve single threaded performance so
51:11
if we had a new material that somehow allowed much greater clock speeds they
51:16
would give it to us um so I'm just going to kind of throw that out there but
51:20
that's yeah silicon's been a big issue for that for a long time so I guess
51:23
we'll see yeah Y and it's not like it's just Intel talking about it you know
51:27
NVIDIA is talking about how you know it's basically we're optimizing for you
51:32
know heat output and power consumption and you know performance is improving
51:35
and we're going to do that too but you know we're we're trying to go I mean I
51:40
think part of the problem is they've had to backtrack so much for so long it was
51:45
megahertz race and you know a Cuda cor
51:49
race and just the race to these ginormous you know hot power consuming
51:54
chips and it's taking a while to things back to back to more same levels cuz I
51:58
can tell you I mean you know in an office like here where we're running
52:02
more than one computer more than a couple hours a day it definitely helps
52:06
to have more power efficient machines even if that's not exciting on a
52:09
benchmark yeah yeah score and even if
52:13
you might necessarily not be paying for your power um oh man someone made a blue
52:18
and black HTC M9 very poorly but they made it wow oh what a golden white oh
52:25
it's a gift changes oh yeah
52:31
wow so anyway uh now seems like a good
52:34
opportunity to thank our sponsors so let's start with
52:41
um hold on I'm sure I want to start with something let's start with xplit yeah
52:47
we're big fans of xplit around here so it's funny I had I had some people say
52:52
on our last xplit spot so hold on a second what's the difference between us going to exit.com
52:57
and downloading the free broadcasting software versus going to exit.com Linus
53:02
and downloading the free broadcasting software
53:06
nothing it's still free go to the slash of Linus one though yeah you want to use
53:12
the Linus URL this is the URL you are looking for exactly thank you um so
53:16
basically for those of you who aren't aware of what xplit is it's what powers
53:20
our show it allows us to do things like
53:24
oh wow look at this wow we changed our lower third holy crap there was a
53:29
transition it allows us to you know manually select our bit rate change up
53:33
what servers were broadcasting to change up what audio Source we're pulling in
53:38
from because the default on the computer was a freaking webcam today and it was
53:43
the entire twitch chat exploded bad audio well we that was that was user
53:48
error I apologize to anyone from xplit who's watching this right now for the
53:54
bad quality of the beginning of this stream it had nothing to to do with you guys I had the wrong microphone
53:59
selected um so we should talk a little bit about their about the capabilities
54:04
so they powered countless live streams and recordings around the world they've
54:08
got a very powerful very robust piece of software I don't think we've had xplit
54:13
outright crash on us in well over a year like it's it's been extremely stable for
54:18
a very long time um and we absolutely
54:21
love it we both use it whenever we game stream and we both use it whenever we W
54:25
show because we do that together so that would be both of us using it um if
54:30
you're into game if you're into game streaming by the way gamecaster allows
54:34
you to change some of your stuff through an on-screen display rather than relying
54:38
on tabbing out of the game also the new xsplit V2 uh so their latest revision
54:44
has much better game detection than they had previously to the point where
54:48
instead of manually selecting a game and telling it to cast it I mean you've
54:53
found that it's been able to stream games that aren't even on their list right I have games that are like early
54:58
beta not released I got a game code from the developers games and it's Auto
55:02
detecting those properly which like I understand how it's doing that but it's
55:06
nice because you don't have to have all these crazy scenes set up and stuff you
55:09
just have one and you just move your webcam to a non-annoying place for the
55:13
game and then you're done yeah I also like how flexible it is like I'm even
55:16
able to stream like there's some pretty
55:19
broken stuff about streaming X-Wing I don't know if you know this but I'm on
55:23
like a 1440p display and the way that X
55:26
bling X Xing X bling X bling X the way
55:31
uh xwing Flying Like a G thing launches
55:34
is like if this is your screen it it like it does like a foo
55:38
full screen thing where the game is actually running like
55:42
here but it's like full screen so I use xplit to capture like that screen region
55:47
and then it like captures it fine but there there's a lot of it has a lot of
55:51
flexibility um speaking of a lot of flexibility Luke will be heading to PX
55:58
East uh um so our we're sponsored by hyperx
56:04
and Phantom glass and I guess I should probably actually have the the thing up
56:09
there so um is that next weekend yeah
56:12
holy crap do you not know that when do you leave uh Thursday wow yep I didn't
56:19
think about that until today wow okay so
56:22
those two videos the follow okay you need to film those early in the
56:27
and then we need to do like part one of hard pipe before you
56:31
go whoa yeah all right next week just
56:35
got harder oh I guess I just spoiled something this hard pipe yes thank you
56:39
harder I just spoiled something we are going to be doing a hard pipe tubing
56:43
water cool build log so this will be similar to mineral oil it's going to be
56:48
the first time for both of us Y at least that's what we're telling each other
56:51
it's our first time it's our first time um you know it's it's a lot it's harder
56:56
Charter so we are going to be doing that um we're probably going to be doing it
56:59
in multiple Parts cuz neither of us have done it before there's going to be a fair bit of trial and error um but we're
57:05
Adventure we're just kind of hoping to have some fun with it and take you guys
57:09
along for the ride hopefully Lee Harrington doesn't just like rip us apart cuz it's terrible oh I'm probably
57:14
I'm sure he will cuz we're going to make like every mistake I'm going to I
57:17
guarantee you I guarantee you Darth be
57:20
beas Richard SOS is going to have like Facebook messages in my inbox like a
57:26
dozen of them for every video like yo dog I that was terrible man I told you
57:31
man I'm going to coach you on how to do this stuff I say and he's going to be
57:34
like I could have helped you no no he actually straight up offered but I I
57:38
just want it to be a voyage of Discovery so you and I are just going to go for Gold All right so uh we're going to
57:42
study his videos or am or no no oh yeah
57:46
no we're just going to we're just going to do our best and then like on camera
57:49
if we can't figure out we'll resort to we have like a lot of extra tubing
57:53
looking upy yeah we do okay cool yeah
57:56
Primo chill sent us a bunch of stuff so uh so guys check out our paxis coverage
58:00
next weekend it's powered by hyperx um as usual our call out for hyperx is
58:05
going to be to check out their YouTube channel so that's youtube.com/ hyperx
58:09
it's actually youtube.com/ Kingston hyperx if you want to get to it a little
58:12
bit more reliably but they dropped the Kingston out of The Branding so I like
58:16
it you know how YouTube channels have a like an actual straight URL and then
58:20
they have a vanity URL so usually youtube.com/ hyperx works but I've had
58:25
problems with it some sometimes yeah I've had like when I um when I was
58:28
linking people to subscribe it in annotations it wouldn't work weird so
58:32
when you're doing the annotations make sure you do SL Kingston hyperx okay or
58:36
it might not work yeah cuz I always call out SL hyperx because it's always worked
58:40
for me yeah so just it's just one of those quirky things about uh you know
58:44
good old good old YouTube who we love so
58:47
much all right so our last sponsor today is M drop so we have
58:53
Dr slw show and you and I each get to do
58:58
a live unboxing today okay I didn't know this was coming you you want to go first
59:04
sure while I talk about what Mass drop is so Mass drop is basically um they're
59:09
like a they're kind of like a deal curator so they work with the community
59:13
to find the deals that the community wants they then work with the manufacturers and Distributors to get
59:17
the best possible pricing and then the more people commit to buy the lower the
59:21
price goes I actually M drop is I I
59:25
tweeted this earlier this week they're my least favorite sponsor because they
59:29
like they they they sponsor us and then they take my money right back oh yeah I
59:33
bought a zoom audio recorder on uh on M
59:36
drop the other night it's like well there goes $230 but I saved like 100
59:41
bucks yeah and I we've needed one of those realistically for like two years
59:45
so it's like fine I bought blueprints stop using Brandon of like some pretty
59:50
cool stuff that you can use in posters and so they've got lots of keyboards and
59:53
lots of just random stuff and that's what we have today we have a couple of
59:56
sort of random things to show you so what on Earth is this this is a Monoprice speaker a mono price speaker
60:02
yeah in like the craziest packaging you got this bro it's it like
60:08
comes apart yeah anyways I'm going to start opening the ostrich it looks like
60:11
a little spaceship so it it'ss like this but it
60:16
like looks like a spaceship capsule I don't know I like that open this thing
60:21
is ridiculous why can you open whoa what does it do oh that's cool and
60:26
then you can close it so you can be like do you want to drop the base no I want
60:31
to turn it up turn it up yeah I I get it it doesn't
60:36
make it good well I have a feeling I have a
60:41
feeling mine is going to be just as fun as yours it has a little attached Cable
60:44
in the bottom so you can plug into your phone or whatever this has reversible colors and this one is midnight gray
60:49
this is the ostrich pillow oh that's pretty cool so basically it's for
60:54
travelers okay it's by Studio banana things so I already like the name of
60:59
their company banana things and uh share your napping images and dreams I it
61:04
doesn't really come with instructions 95% rayon 5%
61:09
elastomere um there's like a label on it that under penalty of law not to be
61:14
removed except by the customer oh so I guess I can take that off yeah and then
61:18
basically it's got like a draw string here so you can tighten it up choke
61:22
someone out with it and then yeah in a
61:25
nice way way and then you put it on your
61:28
head wow over your eyes and then don't
61:33
do that ow I just SN myself head sound
61:36
comfortable at all and then basically the idea is this is a pillow so you just
61:41
there you go lay on the side of the bus or like yeah your neighbor on the
61:45
airplane that's actually pretty cool that's actually pretty decent
61:50
because there's quite a few times where I've tried to use like my bag and it's
61:53
just not great because there'll be a book or a laptop and then there's always
61:57
like that little bit of light that is just super annoying I wonder if you
62:01
could turn it around and lay on it backwards ow I got my earphone in so
62:04
that was a terrible thing that just happened but that's not too shabby I
62:07
kind of wish it wasn't full of those little uh like those little styrene
62:11
balls um cuz I find those make me really really warm oh okay but like this
62:16
concept is very very cool oh some people might like the warm I know so that's
62:21
that's a very much a your mileage may vary thing right there yeah but it's
62:24
reversible that's cool so there you go M
62:28
drop they have things so you can rock out at a beach party with your portable
62:34
Turn It Up Speaker I'm not sure if this is beach party grade you can rock out at
62:38
your small beach party with two people your miniature Beach your mouse beach
62:41
party and then when you're tired and going home cuz you're old like lonus you
62:46
can sleep on the
62:50
bus done M drop provides
62:53
everything oh check this out what um
62:59
okay it's a done deal the order has been
63:02
placed our phase change oh phase change
63:06
integrated case is arriving sometime
63:09
next week the amount of people that have been asking for this on the forum for
63:12
like a year the amount of people that have been asking me to cover phase
63:16
change in some meaningful way since the very beginning of lonus tech tips is
63:23
like crazy so for those of you who don't know phase change cooling has been
63:27
around for pretty much as long as
63:31
computer enthusiasts have been have known that running your CPU at lower
63:35
temperatures makes it overclock higher yeah and what it pretty much amounts to
63:39
is an air conditioner has a hot side and a cold side so it's got a condenser and
63:43
an evaporator and if you take the evaporator and instead excuse me instead
63:48
of having like a gigantic th array and then a big old fan on it that blows cool
63:52
air into the room while the condenser blows hot air to the outside
63:56
you have the condenser um just blow hot
64:00
air into your room which hopefully is air conditioned and then you have the
64:04
evaporator just be a little thing that sits directly on your CPU so we're
64:09
talking like negative 10 -2 um some
64:14
multi-stage units can even do much much lower temperatures than that CPU temps
64:20
so uh we just worked with um uh little
64:25
devil I think they go by LD cooling so we just worked with LD cooling they
64:29
weren't able to like sample us a unit or anything but they were able to give us a
64:32
significant discount so we can use can I help you oh thank you so we can use
64:37
their uh lean Lee case with an integrated phase change cooler in the
64:42
basement all white for our white out build guide what I didn't know it was
64:47
for the white out build guide all white so we're going to have that sa Branco uh
64:52
limited edition motherboard the Hall of Fame 9 card we're going to have a
64:57
Subzero CPU with like white sleeving on
65:00
the yeah oh this thing's going to be sick that's going to be awes this will
65:04
be the fastest machine we've ever built
65:08
uh well maybe not quite cuz we're only putting we're only putting One graphics
65:11
card in it but like fastest CPU we could just put more graphics cards in it this
65:15
will be the fastest the fastest um the
65:19
fastest will be able to CPU things up uh
65:23
ever so I'm I'm excited Mach
65:26
the best Dirt 3 machine yeah exactly yes uh Apple Bot camel audio this was
65:32
posted by prac um original article here is from
65:36
Mac Rumors can I help you here that
65:40
eyebrow there you go I thought I got what the twitch chat
65:45
was yelling at me about but apparently it was on your eyebrow so there you go so they make music plugins and effects
65:51
um do you want to go ahead and post this or you're already on it um blah blah there's some speculation
65:57
that they're planning to use their technology to make Garage Band better uh
66:02
there's some speculation that it just has you know more to do with apple just
66:07
getting deeper and deeper into audio so through the uh acquisition of Beats so
66:11
maybe they're planning to like relaunch beats's music streaming service with
66:16
some kind of Technology here something
66:21
so um a lot of it's just assumptions at
66:25
this point in time they acquir the company what they're going to use them for we don't really know we have a quote
66:29
actually on that Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time
66:32
and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans exactly yeah well okay
66:37
then thanks Apple thanks yeah I think
66:40
any of those guesses are pretty good um
66:44
Mercedes Chief laughs at Apple's rumored self-driving electric car this is posted
66:49
by Victoria Secret on the Forum so our original article here is from
66:53
motoring.com.au
66:56
and uh basically the statement was
66:59
something along the lines of you know if
67:02
Mercedes announced that they were building uh a phone would Apple be
67:07
shaking in their boots no and for that reason we are also not concerned about
67:12
Apple trying to become an automaker um Apple's not accustomed to the low
67:16
margins in the automaking automotive space uh blippity bloopity bloppy what I
67:21
kind of have to say about that is um don't get caught with your pants down
67:25
just going to say that's the wrong company to like spit at when they're
67:30
trying to do something it's just like I don't know that's silly also they're
67:35
electronic cars it's a very different space yeah it's a it's a it's a budding
67:40
brand new space Not An established you
67:43
know 100y old business the way that internal combustion engine cars are and
67:48
like yeah they've been making electric cars for a long time but like the like people actually buying hordes of them is
67:52
a very new thing yeah no no the the Technologies not that new just like the
67:56
internal combustion engine wasn't new when someone put it in a car um but the
68:01
it's it's happening now yeah the business is changing very very rapidly
68:06
it's in its infancy right now so um I
68:10
don't just reading this I was like
68:13
dude yeah no I don't know like maybe
68:18
Mercedes doesn't have to worry because Mercedes will probably still sell cars
68:22
but like if Apple fully does get into the and like there there is interesting
68:26
statements in here where we don't actually know what the goal is of Apple
68:31
getting into cars they might just be doing it to understand more yes people
68:35
are right about that who knows we don't actually have official statement from
68:38
them but I would not be surprised at all if they were trying to make a car and I
68:42
wouldn't be surprised at all if it was awesome so so here's here's kind of a
68:46
funny thing uh blah blah blah car this is from the article cars cost a lot to
68:49
develop and apple runs at a 25% return on investment while an exceptional Roi
68:54
for a car company would be 10% so considering that income imbalance um I'm
69:00
GNA just guess zi was clearly beused by
69:03
the concept of Apple becoming a car manufacturer right so can I point you at
69:09
Apple owning uh what was it something like 80
69:13
plus% of all the profits in the smartphone space in spite of their not
69:19
even number one market share can I point
69:22
you at that people have demonstrated time and time again that they're willing
69:26
to pay more for an Apple product and to ask people to pay a mere 15% more is
69:34
well within the realm of the possible yeah yeah can you think about that so on
69:39
a car purchase let's say your car is let's say it's $40,000 so like entry
69:44
level % is often within like the the haggling price at a lot of dealerships
69:48
mind you Apple won't haggle no but I'm saying yeah I'm just saying like that's
69:53
yeah so let's say $40,000 would be kind of like the entry level for like a
69:57
pretty nice vehicle sort of that's where that's about what Tesla's uh aiming for
70:02
with their upcoming 35ish something along those lines if Apple asked for you
70:08
know 4800 you don't think they would win
70:12
anyone over you're spending 40,000 already you might spend an extra 7500
70:16
8,000 uh they might have a champagne gold finish on it um I think I think
70:22
you're basically an idiot to not think that Apple can get another 15% out of a
70:27
customer so there's that people are mad at you because they're saying it's 15%
70:31
more on a car and on a phone so it is a bun bigger dollar value he knows that I
70:35
just said that and people are also mad at you because they're saying it's 15%
70:38
more than a Mercedes he also knows that yeah I know that too I mean 15% more on
70:45
an iPhone is 15% more than a Galaxy
70:48
which is also you know a luxury you know Flagship smartphone that doesn't change
70:53
the fact that people are going to give Apple more of their money that's just how it is I don't okay out there EXT an
70:59
extra 100 or two is a lot easier to get than an extra couple thousand but you're
71:05
also making much different style of Investments and you'd be saving in
71:09
different ways and possibly getting loans and stuff like right and when you
71:12
and remember remember the way that automakers sell cars is with that
71:18
monthly number yeah okay so when we're talking 229 a month versus 249 a month
71:26
yeah come on man it doesn't sound that bad when you hear it at that scale
71:30
that's right and that's going to be your 48 month or 60-month financing or
71:34
whatever the case may be I don't think I don't think even apple is has enough
71:39
hubris to imagine that people are just going to plunk down cash for their cars
71:44
every time they buy them they're going to have financing options available they're going to be attractive look at
71:49
the way Apple's been building relationships with the banks you think they're not going to be able to figure
71:53
out a way to make that happen I think they will yeah so uh yeah watch out guys
71:58
watch out uh YouTube this was originally
72:01
posted by Overlord and our article here is from end
72:05
Gadget Wall Street Journal YouTube isn't making money even with a billion
72:12
viewers oh God is that Nick again I
72:15
don't know someone was at the door is it locked
72:19
no we only lock it when we're doing other things in here yeah yeah shouldn't
72:23
be a problem no so despite Gangam Style
72:27
having over two billion views hosting countless other viral clips and netting
72:31
over a billion users per month YouTube
72:35
can't seem to turn a profit how's that
72:38
well blah BL blah there's a lot of infrastructure costs uh blah blah a lot
72:43
of YouTubers are circumventing the uh the 45% YouTube tax by selling their own
72:50
advertising um uh also it's hard to sell
72:55
and this is this is a this is one of the big reasons why we are actually looking
72:59
into vessel as a video platform um
73:03
Google has a hard time selling ads at
73:07
reasonable cpms for online video so
73:10
without giving you guys exact numbers
73:13
that will be sort of helpful to you SL
73:17
but I'm going to try and be helpful to you without giving away anything that
73:20
I'm not allowed to allowed to say as part of my agreement with YouTube
73:27
um looking at what someone like vessel
73:30
is claiming they can accomplish by offering curated content so just from
73:35
creators that they hand select and from not from having what they're hoping I
73:40
guess uh more similar to broadcast TV is a more diverse audience so one of the
73:45
big problems for YouTube according to the article is that what was it 9% of
73:48
viewers make up 85% of the traffic yeah
73:51
which is horrendous I mean an Advertiser is not going to pay as much for that
73:55
versus more unique impressions um so so
73:59
vessel let's just say let's just say multiple times higher cpms so that could
74:05
be anywhere from is two technically a multiple I guess I think so so anywhere
74:09
from two to to to to more than two let's
74:12
just say that much I don't want to I don't want to say any more than I can I think that's pretty safe so being able
74:18
to being able to offer much higher uh being able to sell ads at very low cpms
74:24
means that even though YouTube has to show you the viewer a lot of ads and has
74:29
algorithms on the back end that optimize how many ads they're showing you without
74:34
fatiguing you as a viewer to the point where you just quit your browsing
74:38
session um even with that thanks to the very low cpms they are not able to turn
74:43
a profit and that's where competing video platforms may have an opportunity
74:47
to uh to take a to take a crack at them but of course um you know the the the
74:53
sheer audience side of of YouTube is still going to make it
74:58
a very attractive platform for Content creators and while we are very
75:02
interested in vessel if you haven't heard of it um these guys reached out to
75:06
us about a month ago and pretty much the
75:09
way it works is your content would be on vessel and also on YouTube but it would
75:16
go up to vessel first so they've actually got some very very significant
75:22
just from the just from the thumbnails back here you guys should recognize some
75:27
very familiar faces um so yeah could be it could be it
75:33
could be a pretty interesting it could be a pretty interesting year um so we
75:38
are definitely considering uh moving maybe not all channels but at least some
75:43
of our content over to vessel and so YouTube will still get the release but
75:47
it might get it anywhere from I think 3 Days To a week is what content creators
75:51
are typically doing yeah um I guess this is also a good opportunity to to talk
75:56
about some of the changes that YouTube's made recently that are generating maybe
76:01
not a ton but at least some animosity from their uh from their content
76:05
creators so um YouTube is kind of going
76:09
hey you know those ads that you guys are selling yourselves that's really going
76:12
to affect the way that we're going to be able to monetize our content because we
76:17
we can't we our algorithms for how many ads people are watching and you know how
76:23
how that affects their viewing experience hey those don't work if if
76:27
we're not controlling the ad placement so we need you guys going through uh the
76:33
proper channels to to do your advertising oh um I have a note from
76:36
Ghost maybe I should explain what CPM means that's uh how many dollar are
76:42
you're you're selling for per thousand views cost per Mill not million Mill uh
76:47
like a thousand yeah um so so blah blah
76:51
blah right so so they don't want content creators baking in their own app
76:55
but from our side looking at what a typical video CPM would be what we get
77:01
through something like AdSense is not even close to comparable and would not
77:06
help us sustain our business and we don't have access as creators to tools
77:12
where we could you know like you know how uh a pre-roll will run across you
77:17
know a video whether it's Nike or McDonald's or whatever else we don't
77:21
have access to fill those slots ourself like we don't have the dashboard that
77:25
would let us sell our own ads and then populate those spots so the only options
77:29
we have are to bake things into the content um so so basically for the
77:35
longest time it's been kind of wild west content creators have been able to
77:39
largely do whatever they wanted even though a lot of what people have done is
77:42
technically against the rules no one's ever really cracked down on it and so
77:47
now all of a sudden they're taking that capability away from us which means that
77:51
we have to find over the next little while some new creative ways to to make
77:56
sure that you know I don't have to lay off all of my staff and stop making
78:00
YouTube videos and get a job flipping burgers in order to uh to keep the
78:03
lights on and keep this whole operation going so um I sympathize with YouTube
78:08
and I understand I totally understand the reason they have to do this clean
78:13
adree content is much easier to sell ads
78:17
against when you so that you're not overwhelming the viewer uh but the flip
78:22
side of that is they haven't given us the tools they haven't given us the
78:26
capability to to sell our own ads at
78:29
reasonable cpms and they haven't provided the cpms that we need to keep
78:34
growing our operation on the own so there's a bit of a there's a bit of a
78:38
trust Gap I would say on on my side
78:42
anyway where YouTube doesn't work with me directly at all I know a lot of
78:45
creators my size are even significantly smaller where YouTube is in
78:50
communication with them uh but other than a blog post that I did back in 2000
78:55
10 I want to say um about finding your
78:58
Niche and it was on like the the creators blog or whatever the equivalent
79:01
was back then um I have never heard from
79:04
YouTube except when I've reached out like hey um I never got my silver
79:10
subscriber plaque um could I get that and like stuff like that super not
79:15
helpful actually or hey my channel Got Hijacked can you take a month to get it
79:20
back to me that'd be great thanks like that kind of thing so super not help at
79:25
all so yeah I I don't know I I feel like
79:28
um so they they have some ideas they're hoping that their music music key and
79:32
some other ideas can help turn a profit through YouTube um I think there's
79:36
there's a lot of potential to to to create you know uh like a premium uh a
79:42
premium YouTube where people pay a monthly subscription or pay whatever for
79:47
for ad free access for example and I mean maybe that maybe this is a
79:51
precursor to that you know that's why they need to remove the ads that are
79:54
baked into the content so people don't complain hey I'm paying for this premium
79:57
YouTube access I'm still seeing ads um so creating a better user experience all
80:02
that stuff like totally get why they're doing it it just means that we're going to have to look for other creative ways
80:07
to make sure that our business doesn't suffer and you know my employees and
80:12
children continue to eat and all that stuff in the meantime so expect to see
80:16
you know us try out potentially you know other video services like vessel expect
80:20
to see us you know have more merch available in the next little bit um to
80:24
see us pushing the whole changing your Amazon link to one with our affiliate
80:28
code thing over the next little bit um there's going to be some new ideas we're
80:32
rolling out on the Forum to make the community a little bit more uh fun to
80:36
participate in as well as see if we can drive a little bit more Revenue there
80:40
because I don't know if a lot of you know this but um Google actually cut off
80:45
our AdSense on the Forum a couple of months ago it has been generating zero
80:50
revenue for a couple months other than our contributors who are just I mean for
80:55
contributors we don't have a lot of perks for them they just contribute out
80:58
of the goodness of their hearts and to support us and that's the only thing keeping the site going and contributing
81:03
to the time that we spend on it behind the scenes as well so um most of the
81:07
time outside of hours most of the times outside of hours and like so yeah we
81:12
just uh we're going to need some we're going to need some new ideas we do have
81:15
cool stuff coming we do have cool stuff coming I've been saying that for a little while but like it's actually very
81:20
close yeah yeah I don't know one thing cuz we're
81:25
getting kind of overtime by a bit if you scroll down a fair amount yeah I want to
81:29
show you something it's it's at the end of the main can I just mention this
81:32
Dying Light thing yeah okay posted by nine Shadow you got to show the yeah
81:37
yeah there's a Dying Light Edition for
81:41
250,000 lb um that comes with a zombie proof
81:45
shelter you also get to go hang out with the devs and like a bunch of other stuff
81:49
and they let you win custom built zombie proof shelter provided by Tiger log cab
81:55
uh people thought it was a joke is not a
81:59
joke it's like the uh whoa you get your
82:03
face you get your face in the game only one my apocalypse Edition will
82:09
be sold and it's available exclusively through the UK retailer game
82:13
unbelievable okay we can move on to the next thing uh it's kind of like the
82:16
Saints Row thing yeah where they sold like the car or whatever okay so scroll
82:21
a lot of the way down it's just before the
82:25
right it's right here oh okay yeah
82:29
sure um Seattle Police body cam do you want to start talking about it I don't
82:33
know anything about this okay so I don't know a ton about it it was uh one of my
82:36
buddies sent it to me like way earlier today and I've had a few tweets and
82:40
stuff about it um but apparently the Seattle PD actually has a YouTube
82:44
channel for their body cam footage like I Wasing um it's now there it's actually
82:50
been a lot easier for them to uh handle
82:53
uh they they have some new method where it used to take them about 60 Minutes to
82:58
like properly blur out everything in the shots and whatnot for a minute of
83:01
footage and now uh they can do it a lot
83:04
faster I don't know exactly where the spec is for that but they can do it way faster there's an example video in here
83:10
of some of their footage um yeah so they're now actually
83:14
using YouTube so yeah you'll see you'll see
83:20
like uh you can see a lot of what's going on to be completely honest but
83:23
you'll see like when it when it kind of peers up at people it blurs them out a
83:27
little bit and stuff and there's a lot of stuff that's like purposely blurred
83:31
out huh but you can kind of see what's going
83:36
on so it's a it's a proper body Cam and
83:40
then yeah they when it when it kind of points up it blur out a lot and then
83:43
once it comes back down it it lessens the blur by quite a bit interesting yeah
83:48
so there you go you came up with the solution that I totally said was
83:53
ridiculous and shouldn't be a viable solution it probably shouldn't be it
83:58
probably shouldn't be but you know whatever apparently it
84:03
took half a day to process four hours of raw video which is a lot better than 60
84:07
Minutes for one minute you know what I've like you know what kind of baffles
84:11
me is that there isn't a tool for just like seriously can someone can someone
84:15
come up with this YouTube you know while I'm you know complaining about you not
84:20
giving creators tools um why isn't there a way for us to blur something out after
84:24
the fact yeah like really why isn't there just a tool for like in real time
84:29
while we're watching a video we just have like a a like a blur brush and like
84:35
we just hold down and like move around according to the video to blur something
84:39
like that seems like it seems like the kind of thing that should have like
84:42
obviously been a thing for years like the blurring tools that that are built
84:47
into programs like Premiere and Vegas are all like this key frame based stupid
84:53
complete stupid that has that just takes so long
84:58
compared to like if I just had like a mouse scroll wheel and that changed the
85:02
size dynamically so I could just play the video at like half speed or
85:06
something and then I could just like change the size and follow something
85:09
around on screen to blur it that would solve 99% have have it add like 5
85:15
seconds before and 5 Seconds afterwards so that your delayed click gets taken
85:19
care of like it is unbelievable to me
85:23
that tools like that don't exist done um the Apple watch event is announced for
85:27
March the 9th this was posted by Overlord on the Forum um Tim Cook has
85:33
some pretty bold statements to make about the Apple watch in general um
85:38
something along the lines of you know it will replace your wallet it will replace
85:43
your car keys it will do important
85:46
things that make you happy um my response to that is maybe the third gen
85:51
one will because that first gen one is a gigantic turd if it's only going to have
85:55
like 4 hours of screen time so spring forward is the the announcement select
86:00
media have been invited of course we have not
86:04
oh uh is our is our camera
86:09
working that would be a pretty convenient time to stop the
86:13
stream um okay all right outro uh well hold on
86:20
let's just see if there's anything else that we should be talking about uh
86:25
you're Shing right now yeah that's fine uh so this this is this is cool 60% on a
86:30
on a 9 to5 Mac readers poll so out of
86:34
3,100 people are not satisfied with current gen iPhone battery life and want
86:38
Apple to thicken the next iPhone to improve battery life I agree with them
86:42
100% I don't understand why we need a c why we compromise on a camera bump yeah
86:47
but we won't compromise on just making it a little bit thicker yeah uh that was
86:51
posted by op code um this is interesting Intel will
86:56
Rebrand the Atom Processor to X3 X5 and
87:00
X7 um because they didn't have enough
87:03
overlap with BMW's naming
87:06
already yeah seriously yay they should just get it
87:12
over with and become one company already so can you guys just you know
87:16
sleep together just go get a room so that this
87:20
stops being awkward for everyone else thank you um Google's new AI has already
87:25
learned how to crush us at 49 games um
87:28
so this was without being actually a gaming AI posted by roohi Kumar SP um so
87:34
this is sort of similar to the conversation that Luke and I had a
87:38
little while ago about how um oh all I
87:41
could figure out how to do was identify the idea of cat which is actually really
87:45
impressive but which is actually kind of a big deal and was actually a pretty old
87:48
experiment by the time that that he was saying that yeah so uh so what was it
87:53
how many games 29 of them9 hold on uh no
87:56
there were there were a significant 29 games it surpassed the performance of
88:01
expert humans and outperformed the best known algorithmic methods for completing
88:06
games in 43 instances yeah out of 49 games total
88:10
so the AI just kind of spent all its time playing old arcade games and
88:16
learned how to play them it's not a gaming specific AI it's an AI built to
88:21
try to find better ways to do things in general and just a really easy way to do
88:25
that is to throw Atari 2600 games at it cuz they're very
88:29
formulaic yeah so what what's cool so they gave um they automatically rewarded
88:34
the AI with like a treat for getting for passing levels and getting high scores
88:38
in the same way that you'll get like um you'll get a chemical Rush whenever you
88:43
feel like you accomplished something um so
88:47
yeah pretty freaking cool so here was
88:50
the machine strategy when it first got got its hands on Breakout
88:55
yeah this is actually pretty sick once it gets a little bit further
89:00
in I I don't think it goes any further in it's just showing us oh I've seen a
89:04
different gift then yeah yeah so it's just showing us
89:09
like it didn't really know what to do at first but if it get but if you give it a
89:12
reward every time it scores or beats a
89:15
level then uh it figures out how to do like oh okay I'm supposed to do this and
89:19
then oh okay I can do this faster better or whatever yeah fascinating all right
89:24
so thank you guys oh is there anything else you wanted to talk about nope okay
89:27
thank you guys very much for tuning in to the W show we hope you enjoyed it as
89:30
much as we did thanks to our sponsors hyperx Mass drop and xsplit and we will
89:35
see you guys again next time bye you got to play the outro thing
89:42
I will oh there it goes oh there it goes
89:46
apparently there's no sound dude
90:04
oh I know what the problem is oh I just figured out exactly what the problem is
90:09
um yeah I think I just have to select a
90:12
different um so the audio devices on this thing just went completely Haywire
90:17
yeah hold on let's let's try let's try
90:20
it again let's try it again so uh
90:24
here you go I can't hear it anymore but I bet
90:28
they
90:41
can we're still broadcasting
90:45
going this is like the actual I don't know why way yeah yeah
90:50
there's sound so yeah we fixed the sound yeah we fixed the sound on the outro
90:54
yeah all right good night everyone bye
