0:19
the mic I hit the keyboard over here I'm not good at using the computers I'm just
0:25
I'm trying to use the computers it's basically the whole Channel
0:31
takes a little bit of both yeah there's there's a combination of things we have
0:36
a great show for you guys today the best
0:39
show the greatest Prett much the best show um twitch opens up its money-making
0:44
tools to nonp partnered channels I don't know about twitch but
0:49
uh not all of them I don't know if I'd open up my money-making tools to uh nonp
0:54
Partners if you know what I mean wow wow
0:58
only in approved circumstances which is what they're doing that's right you
1:01
still have to apply with a condom yes there's a rumor that Google is planning
1:06
to add a native add blocker to
1:10
Chrome super sick also you can Flash possibly your radon rx470 towards a 570
1:17
because this seems to happen every time the towards is weird two of 57 I changed
1:22
it I included it cuz I was like h no no
1:25
you can't flash something towards I mean I could flash something towards us it
1:30
ends up being a 565 because it was on
1:33
the way it was almost there just didn't quite make it
1:37
569 yeah okay cuz it kind of got
1:42
backwards at the last second there 569
1:45
yeah I'm totally down that's what it should be called anyways valve asks for
1:50
as long as you're the other
1:54
way oh man Val asked for phone numbers to confirm Dota 2 player identity
2:00
wow that's that's a big step forward for
2:04
the removal of anonymity from uh online gaming and by
2:09
step forward to be clear I'm not uh I'm not going to say if I'm for or against
2:14
the move I mean it is a step forward towards that particular end goal we can
2:19
discuss it more later first you have to sit through the intro with sound oh with
2:25
sound the new revelation
2:45
oh there we go Savage jerky I already ate some oh you bastard you're cheating
2:51
the system fresh
2:56
FR I already did some accounting
3:00
I saw okay I saw the habanero one and I was like last time it just lasted
3:03
forever anyways so I can just eat that
3:07
one and no one's really going to care cuz it just burns everyone else out now
3:10
it's open yeah you know everybody else
3:14
stuck with the system every single other person every single other person to be
3:19
fair this see this is the reason this is
3:22
the reason that we're pushing him out cuz I eat the jerky to his
3:27
development project okay
3:30
if you were wondering why I ate dad's jerk and he kicked me out of the house
3:34
that's right and you deserved it and you know
3:38
it yeah yeah yeah it's time to pay
3:41
rent all right so let's go ahead and why
3:45
don't we jump right into our first topic here let's let's have some let's have
3:49
some fun here let's get right into twitch opening up its moneymaking tools
3:55
to nonpartnered channnels so the original article here is from Tech
3:59
crunch oh that one and the funny thing
4:03
about this is it is right on the heels
4:06
of YouTube actually closing down access
4:11
to their ad generating money generating tools from folks who aren't abiding by
4:17
and like a an Advertiser friendly sort
4:20
of um unspoken content guideline yeah
4:25
now I'm not saying that this is an Apples to Apples comparison by any
4:28
stretch of the imagination but ifch was looking for a good time to
4:33
kind you know open up the FL Gates and
4:37
creators that want to do it as a job try and be more Creator friendly this is uh
4:41
this is as good a time as any there's some interesting things it's not full
4:45
partnership so if you're looking at Partners right now and being like Oh yes
4:50
I'll be able to become that or my friend will be able to become that or whatever it's not quite the same you won't get
4:55
everything yeah why don't you start with a rundown of the benefits that Partners
4:58
get you're partnered right Partners yeah so Partners have you have a subscription
5:02
button which is like the bread and butter of being a partner and these guys
5:06
will not get that a subscription button is $5 a month and you get a chat badge
5:12
showing that showing that you're a subscriber if you subscribe for a really long time that chat badge can get
5:16
upgraded um you get special emojis in the chat all that kind of fun stuff I
5:22
think there's been some like potential leak kind of stuff where people are
5:25
talking about how there might be different tiers of subscriptions in the
5:28
future but who knows um then there's
5:31
cheering with bits which both of these tiers will be able to get cheering with
5:36
bits is like there's always been donating to streamers this is a way to
5:39
donate to streamers through the twitch platform instead of through something
5:43
that the streamer sets up uh it shows up in the chat with a little animated thing
5:47
depending on how many bits you actually donated um and streamers can tie it in
5:51
to actually have it pop up on their stream and play a sound notification whatever you will get that it's a way of
5:56
virtual tipping they call it um and I
6:00
believe yeah when you when you cheer you get a chat badge that slowly upgrades
6:05
over time depending on how much you've cheered I'm going to be honest with you
6:08
I'm streaming on Twitch right now I do not get that the cheer thing yeah I
6:14
don't get it I don't get why it incentivizes people to to like donate
6:19
more people like shiny things I know I don't get it and like okay another one
6:22
is if you cheer and comment in the same
6:26
line uh you could the partner can have a thing where that gets pinned to the top
6:31
of the chat the most recent cheer can get pinned to the top of the
6:36
chat so if you want your comment to be seen by everyone for sure in a chat with
6:41
comments flying by you add like a little bit of money to it and it gets pinned so
6:45
everyone sees it I don't personally care about
6:49
commenting on Twitch so it's not for me
6:52
I only comment to troll you on your stream occasionally every com you're not
6:55
even listening so I can't even respond well I'm okay the only the only
7:01
time I have enough time to sit and watch your no
7:05
offense it's okay the the the only time
7:08
that there couldn't that there isn't something anything that's a higher
7:13
priority for me is when I'm like rocking the baby to
7:17
sleep yeah yeah and I'm just like yep it
7:22
is not important if what I'm doing right now happens quickly so you're muted
7:28
you're muted AF yeah and I'm just like well I'm in the chat trolling and then
7:33
everyone freaks out and then they're trying to like communicate for both of
7:36
us so the chat starts trying to talk for me to you and then some like that gets
7:42
really weird meanwhile there's the delay yeah so there's that which these days
7:46
can be really long yeah or not or not
7:50
existent almost at all yeah so it's really confusing it's very weird um so
7:55
so so can people pin a so can people cheer for us like here so I believe are
8:00
we partnered we are partnered for sure we might not have that enabled okay and
8:05
that would be just because like Che I'm an idiot and I don't know how the
8:09
dashboard Works basically well not the dashboard well there was that one
8:13
feature that you were like yeah you're going to need to turn that on and I'm
8:17
like and you're like yeah I'll do it for you well we also had the auto hosting
8:21
thing enabled is that what you're talking yeah that's the that's one no
8:24
there there's been two I don't remember what the other one was I don't remember exactly where it is but it's not
8:28
dashboard partner there partner settings subscriber only
8:33
chat exclud custom cheer enable cheering with bits so it's disabled so it's
8:38
disabled we have everything disabled we
8:42
have um royalty tax and service tax
8:46
disabled an interview what the heck is that we have subscriber only chat
8:50
disabled we have excluding subscribers from slow mode disabled we have cheering
8:55
with bits disabled a custom cheer Moe disabled bits threshold settings
8:59
disabled disabled chat badge settings disabled restrict access to archives
9:03
disabled um ad free for subscribers is
9:06
enabled heck yeah and our affiliate options are disabled as well as our
9:10
earning revenue from game sales you might want to turn the bits one on we
9:13
are clearly not doing this right we must be the worst partnered twitch streamers
9:18
on the entire platform we're pretty bad I think you're also supposed to stream a
9:22
minimum of three times a week that clearly never
9:26
happens we're like never even on time let alone three times a week so yeah may
9:31
maybe not the like what people should aspire to be
9:36
yeah okay so this ju this just in we are
9:40
not what people should aspire to be more
9:44
at 11 stream lest don't stream for as long don't stream games don't have have
9:50
all the all the moneymaking stuff yeah turn turn that [ __ ]
9:56
off allow subscribers but like don't really worry about giving them anything
9:59
cool apparently yeah and pre-record last week's WAN Show that was
10:05
close that's right I almost got the lens that would have been terrible actually
10:10
um yeah you'll have you'll have cheering with bits if you get into the affiliate
10:14
program I believe there's also ads so you can have advertisements on the
10:18
channel those roll and give you some money but that is very low and then if
10:21
you are planning to live stream this week's W show make sure you change your
10:27
clock setting oh ah see that see that
10:31
changing the clock settings for this clearly pre-recorded show fake live
10:37
stream yes and then you don't get any weird issues with like the computer not
10:41
being able to do things on the internet because the time code is so wrong and
10:44
stuff because you're just local recording that's right then you just set it back to normal and upload it later no
10:49
problem easy mode all right so anyway in a nutshell this new tier will be called
10:54
Affiliates yeah not um Partners okay and
10:59
cooler for partners cuz Partners get stuff like a verified chat badge which
11:03
will set them apart when they go into other people's chats and and it will
11:06
still be on an invitation basis so based on a number of criteria including time
11:11
spent streaming sorry time spent streaming
11:17
viewership numbers and follower count I think those last two were pretty good
11:20
right yeah we're we're doing pretty solid okay yeah all right it's it's an
11:25
easier way to start kind of getting your
11:29
foot in the door because right now the threshold for becoming a partner is very
11:33
hard to hit when the discoverability of twitch's platform being not a partner is
11:38
really rough is really bad right that's fair like unless you're like the first
11:42
person streaming some hot new game and even then you've got like an hour yeah
11:47
you really don't have that long and you need to be like exceptionally good at it
11:51
often to really draw people in like there there's a few success stories
11:54
where someone gets like a weird early access code so they get like a day ahead
11:58
of everyone else so they're further in the game than everyone so then they get a bunch of viewers I see or like a bunch
12:03
of servers goes down but the one they're connected to is able to stay up so they
12:07
get a bunch of like there's there's weird ways that people to make it t
12:10
accidentally promoting Small Time streamers since 200 whatever it hasn't
12:16
been that long I've talked to people about this and it's it's hard because um
12:19
with with something like YouTube you get off boarded every about 5 10 minutes
12:25
because the video will end and it's going to suggest a whole bunch of other
12:28
videos right so you'll get offboard you might continue purposefully going for
12:32
their videos but it's making a conscious decision over and over and over again
12:37
every 5 to 10 minutes with twitch you click on one person and then it tries to
12:40
keep you there so it's it's actually harder for
12:44
them to try to spread their users out and then if you want to go find one of
12:48
these little smaller streamers you're going to be going to some game and and
12:52
you'll be like scrolling through pages and pages of all things that look the
12:55
same basically just like thumbnails of a game yeah cuz like that's pretty much it
13:02
that's what's going on yeah cuz you can't put boobs in it anymore so what are you supposed to do guns like I can't
13:07
I can't even like am I even allowed to wear a low cut I think that yes this is
13:12
okay you're not allowed to show a nip no nip no nip so I could even I could even
13:16
like that's that's probably fine that's probably fine too I think mid drift is
13:20
also not allowed you know what's kind of funny is up here's probably cool
13:23
depending on the compression the this kind of like this
13:27
kind of whsy hair could even look kind of like a shadowed between boob kind of
13:31
cleavage area why do people why do people watch
13:36
this show ripped giantex yeah giant peex going that's what's going on over here
13:41
giant uh giant uh LW
13:46
lud we put the lud in
13:53
lud all right another news uh Google
13:56
this is rumored uh the original post on our Forum was by dead eyed psycho thank
14:01
you for posting that Google is rumored to be adding a native ad blocker to
14:09
Chrome can you even imagine
14:14
honestly after you read through this it completely makes sense what what they're
14:18
targeting is stuff like popup ads that don't go away for a
14:23
timer ads that autoplay videos sure ads
14:26
that autoplay sound there there they're only targeting ad blocking for things
14:32
that they view as like kind of heinous intrusive yeah intrusive damaging the
14:37
user experience this is coming back to is it ad block plus I can never keep
14:41
track this is coming back to there's so many and they're all the concept though
14:46
of of a responsible web
14:50
ad and whitelisting ads that are
14:54
nonintrusive that's the idea then so their thing is uh they're they're
14:58
blocking ads that are beneath a threshold of user or consumer
15:03
acceptability mhm so if you go to website it's like oh my goodness this is
15:07
ridiculous hopefully they'll be blocking that so tell me
15:11
this what would this mean for the uh
15:16
Effectiveness then of online advertising because there's a reason that obnoxious
15:21
ads exist if they didn't work they
15:25
wouldn't exist nobody would put them on their website so and and I mean you've
15:30
got some experience with this yeah the obnoxious ads how much more do they pay
15:35
a lot more like to can you give us I actually don't know like I don't
15:39
remember the exact numbers cuz this was a couple years ago where we had this
15:42
like fight um we did well not not you
15:45
and me oh I see cuz I was going to say I don't I don't think I was ever pushing you for like okay to give a little bit
15:51
of context we're talking about the Forum particular Tech tips.com Forum that's
15:55
the only place where we've there was a recent little bit of a curfuffle where
15:59
um a certain member of the team Colton added a bunch of ads and like didn't put
16:04
them in the right spots and didn't enable the right rules so like people
16:08
that had paid to be on the Forum while not seeing ads were seeing ads and they
16:13
were like everywhere and in really obnoxious places and stuff but I took
16:16
care of that it's fine now um but there
16:19
there was a little bit of a cruffle way back in the day when we were kind of
16:23
deciding how we want everything to work and a partner that we had uh that was
16:28
like getting the ads for us to put on the website was a little distraught
16:33
because they wanted to put ads um not
16:37
just above the fold because we have one ad that's above the fold on the top
16:40
right I don't think it's too intrusive um but they wanted to put it like Center
16:44
Middle top here why don't I log in so
16:47
you guys can see okay so here you go uh
16:51
I'm actually here I'm just going to move us so um this spot right here is what we
16:57
call above the fold which is above the first page break on a website you can
17:01
actually see we don't even have anything on our second we don't have a lot of
17:04
advertising on our site isn't there usually a on there okay there's supposed
17:07
to be a foter one like why would anyone be here down at the test posts yeah not
17:12
oh wait probably not everyone can see uh okay well anyway um okay well right now
17:17
we're logged into an account that I think has access to stuff that not everybody does but basically the
17:22
advertising partner wanted us to put one of those ones here or above that what
17:27
like up there here yeah e they wanted it specifically to go in line with the logo
17:32
up in the top part and and and they wanted it auto playing video um not
17:37
necessarily sound because they agreed that was pretty intrusive but like autop
17:41
playing video popup stuff like because those are the things that make money if
17:45
you make it like the top middle of the page it makes a little bit more money
17:48
and like I think Colton put one right in
17:51
this are oops hold on I think Colton put
17:55
one right in this area yeah so I AED that pretty quick there's one where if
17:59
you go into a forum section yeah it's if
18:04
you're not logged in oh this is a long post I am logged in though if you're
18:09
yeah I know but if you're not logged in there's one that goes in between these
18:12
two posts sure but if you are logged in it goes away and right now it doesn't
18:16
have it but I'll put it there um again and back in the day it had this where it
18:19
shows on each side of that ad goes just
18:23
log in to get rid of this ad right and the idea was we just wanted more members
18:27
yeah and if you're if you're just out like a troubleshooting post and you're
18:30
not going to come back like sure you can never have enough
18:35
members that could get ridiculous pretty quick
18:38
actually be really painful to like move
18:43
around well the member itself's not that painful as long as each of them doesn't
18:47
have a ball sack then you're probably
18:51
okay as Brandon just looks
18:56
over sorry Brandon um okay so in a
18:59
nutshell uh there's there's some reasoning behind all this um so Google
19:04
may choose to block all advertising that
19:08
appears on sites with offending ads instead of the individual offending ads
19:12
themselves so Google is like taking a stand against crappy advertising because
19:17
these kinds of ads are what are pushing people to install ad blocking software
19:22
and 26% of us users now employ ad
19:25
blocking tools on their desktops anyway yeah and this is I mean this is
19:29
estimated but if your Google and your whole business is contextual advertising
19:36
with the idea behind it being that you are providing an ad that has relevance
19:41
to the user I can see why you might be
19:44
leveraging your position as the number one browser to to try to reverse that
19:51
tide um and try and try and stop bleeding out the users that you can show
19:57
advertising to and there's that that common quote that
20:01
I I don't know how many people actually go with this but there's a common quote
20:06
that like if the ads weren't so intrusive I wouldn't run ad block yeah I
20:09
I I personally think that's kind of BS a
20:12
lot of the time I'm sure there I'm sure it's true for some people I know one
20:15
person in particular that has it set to off for all Sites but then if there's a
20:19
site that he can like barely view because of it he'll specifically turn it
20:22
on for that and I'm like okay that that seems a little bit more legit to me
20:27
right um but like whatever I I understand the concern there's it is
20:30
very annoying when you go to some sites and it's just everywhere it's ridiculous
20:34
one that I particularly really hate is when you're on a news style website and
20:40
they have those news style ads that are
20:43
just all bull crap the uh sponsored
20:46
stories I never I never actually click on them but I often think that
20:51
it's real at first so I'll go read them
20:55
and then I'm like oh crap that's one of those stupid things again GH I just
21:00
that's so it just it's it's distracting and it's it's never goingon to make me
21:03
click on it because it's so obviously BS but that's the thing is like they
21:08
wouldn't exist if some people weren't clicking on them here we go so this is
21:12
what we're talking about it's like he doesn't speak with
21:16
his daughter anymore after the incident
21:19
and like it's obviously canu yeah I don't know who the chick is but she's
21:23
probably some well-known person too it's like she had idea wow I think they this
21:28
one usually has a no in it I think this is like how can you not even copy
21:33
paste and like it's it's it's there's often lots of skin like it's h there's
21:39
like weird medical stuff is always in there yeah you can see at least at least
21:42
two or like this secret will destroy the diabetes industry try it tonight what
21:48
watch this simple trick oh man it's like
21:52
I just I hate ads yeah I absolutely hate those ads all
21:58
right so yeah I'm I would be very done with that go ahead Google run for it
22:02
I'll make sure the forum's all good I do wonder if they're going to make the make
22:06
it through the uh like you know the regulatory bodies that exist I don't
22:10
know who exactly would be would be sort of monitoring no I don't think it's a
22:16
problem because your browser interprets the Internet it's anti-competitive if Google is blocking
22:21
other AD providers ads with their
22:25
browser that they control and they're an ad provider and they they're not
22:28
blocking their own ads I mean they could say no we're blocking our own ads
22:32
equally ours aren't obnoxious so they don't fall within this criteria that was
22:37
determined by this third party Coalition for better ads it's not our fault but I
22:43
that's got to hold up in court I mean I'm sure Google has like done is going
22:46
to do their due I mean it's not like this is happening yet it's not like this is even confirmed very much a rumor I'm
22:50
sure they'll do their due diligence before they just roll this out but I I
22:56
have some serious doubts about whether or not this would make it through the
22:59
scrutiny of a legal review and given the
23:02
size of the advertising industry the kinds of Damages that Google could
23:07
potentially have to pay for a move like this could actually be enough to
23:12
dissuade them like they yes they have enough money to buy the Earth and all the heavens but
23:17
um it could be significant enough to be
23:20
an issue yeah um hope they do it this was
23:25
originally posted by Cela one so
23:29
um for those of you who were
23:33
wondering if perhaps AMD did do the
23:38
retooling and refining of the manufacturing on their rx470 and 480
23:45
graphics cards that they said they did in order to turn them into 570 and 580
23:51
graphics cards then
23:55
um I don't remember how I started that sentence so I'm not not sure how to end
23:59
it but for those of you that actually believed yes um it may be that they
24:05
didn't do quite as much as they said they did and the high uh power
24:12
consumption of the 570 and the 580 May
24:16
simply have to do with AMD binning for
24:20
high leakage high high power chips and
24:23
cranking up the voltage so it is uh
24:27
looks like the original article here is from Guru 3D there could have even maybe
24:31
been some retooling to help them get
24:34
larger bins of cards that they think would fit under this yep yep and that's
24:40
that's very very possible and N probable
24:44
as well but what it looks like is that most of the board partners are using the
24:48
very same PCB design according to Hilbert over there um that they used for
24:54
the 400 series and since the device ID
24:58
doesn't appear to be changed just the subsystem ID then there is the
25:03
possibility that you can Flash the graphics card using ATI tool or excuse
25:09
me ATI flash so um looks like it can be
25:14
achieved regardless of CPU um and uh yeah there you go I mean
25:20
it's not like this is the first time that yay thank you oh it's not like this
25:25
is the first time that AMD has run into this sort of thing which really does
25:28
kind of raised the question did they did they not see this coming it's it's not
25:31
it wasn't even that long ago maybe they don't care I think my favorite one was 290 to
25:38
290x because it was like literally sold as a different product within the same
25:43
time frame yeah they've had other situ I mean
25:48
they've had a lot flashing radons goes all the way back to like the 9500 nonpr
25:53
where they reused the PCB design and
25:57
memory layout of the radon
26:00
9700 there you go um and if you had I
26:04
believe it was the ey shaped memory config versus the lower cost with lower
26:09
clocked L-shaped memory config then you could flash it to 9700 is that right you
26:14
would probably know that wouldn't you 2.8 n 256 bit memory yes so so so L was
26:21
L was good or bad sorry so apparently L
26:25
was good I shaped was bad um
26:30
anyway which kind of leads me to believe then that they must just not care I mean
26:34
remember the 9 uh 50 5870 it might even
26:37
be good for them it just had a BIOS switch on it yeah and they were just
26:41
like yeah there's like a normal BIOS and like a whatever
26:45
BIOS do whatever you're going to do with that like maybe they just don't give a
26:49
crap it might legitimately be good for them because this isn't it's very
26:53
unlikely to come across as bad news to people that are very informed cuz
26:57
they're just going to be like oh sweet I can buy the older one and then just do this crazy manual thing and those people
27:01
that aren't informed aren't really going to care and they'll buy whatever one fits into their budget properly so the
27:06
hardcores will be like excited and talking about their brand maybe this is
27:11
why AMD ends up with kind of that um Rebellion that that team that team red
27:16
kind of fanaticism where it's like they just kind of leave stuff there for those
27:23
super hardcore to find company is built on Hope built on Easter eggs Easter eggs
27:30
where it's just like realistically no one else is probably even going to about
27:35
the small performance difference between a 400 series and a 500
27:39
series um and like the actual risk I
27:42
think a lot of companies worry about this where they're like yeah I mean
27:46
realistically we don't care if people were to flash the card but what we're
27:49
worried about is people screwing it up and bricking the card yeah um but I
27:54
think the the percentage of users who are actually going to downlo a tool like
27:59
ATI flash is so small that all you
28:03
really stand to gain is Hardcore users
28:06
who are like super excited about it doing it and talking about what a great
28:11
company you are and the people who don't care just not doing it and just having
28:17
to listen to their friend yes yes okay the yes the 480 is cheaper and better I
28:23
you know I I play my game just fine I can't be bothered with that I'm just going to get a 580 I don't care go away
28:28
shut up I'll see you on uh I'll see you on Discord in 20 minutes
28:33
yeah um so yeah there there you have it okay
28:38
now let's get into our biggest topic of the day right after these ads fresh
28:45
books oh oh are you a small business
28:49
owner or freelancer having trouble keeping track of things like expenses
28:55
and time logged on a given job invoices
28:58
you've sent out to your clients fresh books is all about making that easy
29:03
instead of having your like accounting
29:06
software on your computer at night and you get home from a long day of painting
29:10
houses or whatever it is and your arms are legitimately s I'm serious no I know
29:14
smile because I yeah you do enough thousands of reps of pretty much
29:18
anything and you're going to get a workout yeah um and the climbing the
29:23
ladders ain't bad either I'm like I okay not to do especially for going up with a
29:27
Fiverr yeah which five gallon talkinging about
29:32
carrying a five gallon bucket a ladder that even to like fill it with almost
29:35
anything and that's going to be annoying let alone like a dense liquid yeah um
29:40
but but anyway so the point is fresh books lets you take your accounting with
29:44
you and makes it simple enough that anyone can do it you just take pictures
29:48
of your invoices and log them you log your hours so you can make sure you're
29:52
sending out your bills properly you invoice in less than 30 seconds you send
29:55
a nice professional looking invoice and
29:58
the client pays on your terms so you can take uh deposits you can actually have
30:04
them pay through the platform so you can get paid faster and this is really cool
30:09
you can see when the client has seen the invoice and put an end to that uh oh did
30:14
you send it yet sorry I didn't get it hey U you know I don't have my checkbook
30:17
on me you know what forget your checkbook well don't forget your checkbook remember your checkbook and
30:22
pay me cuz I know you saw it or pay with their little module thing yeah or that
30:26
they have a reader as well so check it out freshbooks.com
30:29
try it out you get a 30-day free trial
30:32
and now we're get yes yes now we're getting into the Savage Savage
30:37
jerky which one was the one that I really like there were a couple actually
30:41
so last time I I ate the reaper on stream and just like died um so that was
30:45
a level five of hot they showed their like heat level at the bottom which I
30:49
think is super cool this is a level four I've got a two I'm I'm going for the
30:53
maple Buffalo bacon maple Buffalo bacon these guys actually this is really funny
30:58
so you know how they sponsored us like a bazillion years ago and then they just
31:01
went like radio silence on us yeah so it turns out that wasn't because they hate
31:06
us that was just like a shipping logistical
31:10
issue so so yeah they they don't hate us it's all good which is good because I
31:15
was like hey Colton did we get any more samples of that jerky and he's like we
31:20
ate everything they sent us so fast I know so Maple Maple Buffalo bacon wait
31:26
is that a five was this is a four okay
31:29
we have a five I know we have the Carolina Reaper that's what I ate last
31:33
time when I like died and we also have the ghost pepper did you try ghost
31:36
pepper yet oh my God I don't okay I want to try the Mojo habanero okay let's see
31:40
how you deal with that okay are you good with spicy stuff do you like I just
31:43
really like the maple one so I'm eating that first okay have you tried the maple
31:47
Buffalo bacon I have not it's really good it's not that hot M you might not
31:52
get the full effect if you've already eaten a really spicy one recently I can
31:55
clear it out yeah you got to soilent really it's like the same
31:59
consistency as milk it works you disgust me in every
32:07
way what's wrong with you everything I'm
32:10
just going to wash down this jerky
32:16
bacon with some
32:19
soilent everything is wrong with that sentence okay so the Mojo habanero this
32:25
is oh no this is three three wait oh no
32:28
it Go scale four point scale okay so
32:32
yeah the the two is like oh no no the reaper is five that does go all the way
32:38
to five it adds another bar it adds another bar over the rest of the
32:42
packages okay so the ghost pepper is a four okay okay so see if you can handle
32:47
the ghost pepper then okay so is is this one this one's what
32:51
this one's a three this can't be that bad cuz the maple Buffalo bacon is a two
32:55
and that's really not that hot you can't handle that heat from the maple this
32:58
stuff is like so covered in like spices
33:02
and like all right have a
33:07
narrow it's spicy it's not too bad but
33:11
it's spicy no it's spicy but it's nice yeah beef lime juice
33:16
water oh there's a little bit of kick oh it takes a
33:22
sec you can taste the Citrus though it has lime juice orange juice and lemon
33:27
juice how's how's it going that's nice though
33:32
it's really good it tastes really good yeah Cayenne pepp spicy jerky is you'll
33:38
eat it a little bit slower yeah otherwise you can like enjoy the package
33:42
a little bit it's easy to like destroy an entire bag of jerky yeah
33:49
okay oh what do you think what do you think of the maple one I liked it but I
33:53
like the I like the beef ones more personally well I'll just keep this then
33:56
yeah I love being the host because like Colton's been keeping
34:01
everyone else away from this stuff with a stick for the last week and he's been
34:05
saving it basically for us to sit on stream and eat it is that good that
34:11
good pretty spicy though
34:17
yeah oh I don't think I'm completely dying like with the reaper I never tried
34:22
The Cracked Pepper and sea salt one so I'm going to just eat wussy ones for the
34:26
rest of the show but there you you have it guys Savage
34:30
jerky I swallowed a little wrong there inhaled a little wrong trust me you
34:35
don't want hot jerky down your wind pipe that's bad um anyway Savage jerky.com
34:41
use offer code LT to save 10% lots of
34:44
different flavors and it's uh it's good stuff man so this one the ghost pepper
34:49
one is like a good top of my tolerance level spice I
34:54
think yeah like I had one I'm good for a
34:57
while like I'm okay I'm processing it
35:01
everything's fine until the reaper is
35:04
too much I'm actually usually pretty good with that yeah yeah I've never had
35:08
that problem that's far more detail about your uh bodily functions than I
35:12
ever cared to know but I guess I kind of invite it don't I we've shared it with everyone yeah on stream that's uh that's
35:19
the way we do it live and archived all right so
35:24
valve this is a huge move or
35:28
posted on RS Technica let's go ahead and get that I'm pretty sure this has
35:31
already happened with CSO just to add to that valve asks for
35:37
phone numbers to confirm Dota 2 player
35:41
identities and the idea is that this move would cut down on Expert players
35:47
intentionally smurfing noobs and if you're not familiar with the term smurfing then get off twitch because you
35:54
suck and cheat actually I'm I'm kidding because
35:58
I know a lot of people are here for our Tech show and not necessarily regular twitch viewers so smurfing refers to
36:03
creating a separate dummy car like dummy
36:07
profile that is a very low level so you can just like kind of sit with your
36:14
jackass friends and be like this guy
36:17
doesn't know how to play this game as well as me cuz I vlogged like 800 hours
36:21
so like I'm now I'm on a new account now I'm on a new account I'm just going to
36:24
like kick his ass it's just so great so I think the ghost pepper one sorry to go
36:28
back hits you a little bit later yeah oh my salivary glands are
36:34
like firing trying to like cool everything
36:38
down nice it's uh yeah I don't know the
36:41
these are maybe like for me at least like one strip every like while while
36:48
got it thankfully they are resealable packages uh
36:52
anyways yeah so the idea is you have to have an attached phone number this
36:55
should cut down on Smurfs like you were just talking about but also cheaters
36:59
because if your phone number is used and then you are banned I believe you cannot
37:04
reuse that phone number for 3
37:07
months three Monon oh so phone numbers
37:10
can't be passed between accounts without a thre Monon waiting period yeah so it
37:15
should reduce cheaters as well so if you can ceue up with only people that have
37:20
verified numbers M that means you'll have less cheaters and less Smurfs which
37:25
makes a way better comp competitive experience this I I'm like fairly
37:29
certain this is already in Counterstrike I guess I should have just checked chat
37:33
valve statement here players using multiple accounts create a negative
37:37
matchmaking experience at all skill brackets so our goal is to add just
37:43
enough friction to this process that the number of players doing this will be
37:47
noticeably reduced having more players using their primary accounts will have a
37:51
positive effect on both ranked and unranked matchmaking yeah so it's
37:55
already called CSO Prime you have a prime enabled account if you've attached
37:59
your phone number and that has made a significant positive Improvement in the
38:03
csgo community so they're spreading it over to J 2 you had an interesting
38:07
mention I haven't actually heard anyone bring up the fact that it reduces
38:11
anonymity in gaming it does until you said that but that is true and that's
38:15
something that a lot of people are are really feel very strongly
38:21
should be preserved but that's a Viewpoint that I've personally argued
38:25
against in the past I mean as but I okay
38:29
and all of this comes you have to understand take it with a a dumb truck
38:32
worth of salt because this comes from my
38:36
perspective as someone who has
38:40
willingly forfeited basically all of my
38:43
online privacy by being a web video
38:48
personality so I look at at I look at it
38:51
and I go well for me the the ways in which I could behave
38:57
like a complete ass hat online are
39:01
pretty limited because if anyone figured out it was me I I actually there are
39:07
people out there who know who I am I have a reputation to uphold anonymity
39:11
means you don't have a reputation to uphold you could be the nicest person
39:15
one day and the crappiest person the other day and there's basically no
39:19
consequences um and there's arguments to
39:22
be made the other way like anonymity lets you you know truly speak your mind
39:27
in a way that you couldn't but there are a lot of people particularly in The
39:31
Gaming Community that quite frankly I don't think should be allowed to speak their mind um I I'm letting him go I
39:36
disagree I'm just saying but I'm letting him go to get his point across so my so
39:41
basically I think that anonymity is the same as not having any
39:48
accountability and for myself I have
39:51
personally made the choice to Forfeit my
39:55
anonymity and I would love to be able to
39:58
reap the benefit of interacting with other people online who have willingly
40:03
forfeited their anonymity so that's what I like about this move from valve
40:06
they're not forcing everybody to do it yeah they're just saying if you
40:10
willingly give up that anonymity and you
40:14
are willing to tie your personal actual you to an actual Avatar in a onetoone
40:20
relationship then you get the benefit of interacting only with other people who
40:24
are also willing to do the same and I think that's a great move I I'm cool
40:28
with that concept at this level mhm where the anonymity loss is not public
40:33
but just to the let's say it wasn't valve see that's
40:39
that's where some of it loses me too because I don't want to give my phone number to just anybody um that that
40:45
becomes an issue even with valve and these big companies like what they do
40:48
with data is so sketchy we have a topic in here that we'll probably talk about
40:52
later where Bose has apparently been stealing people's data in terms of like
40:57
what music and podcast and stuff they've been listening to on their wireless
41:00
headphones which is like what the hell guys and apparently they have very
41:04
definitely been selling it which is just like so Garbo but we'll talk about that
41:08
later um from real so like I do not like
41:12
giving forward my information but at the same time if it's something fairly
41:18
minimal I don't really use my actual calling feature on my phone much anymore
41:22
and if someone calls me and it's not a number that's already in my phone I
41:26
pretty much don't pick up right um and like phone services and stuff now Auto
41:31
detect certain numbers so like if my ISP calls me it will tell me their company
41:35
name so they show up if it's a super random number I just don't pick it up so
41:40
I'm not that worried about that leaking
41:43
um I personally think this is a cool system when csgo Prime came out I jumped
41:48
on that as soon as I could which right because I I thought that was cool I
41:52
don't like losing my anonymity outwards to people that are playing the game sure
41:57
I hate that concept I hated so much when
42:01
YouTube was supposed to be like real names right that was stupid I hated that
42:06
that was a dumb idea um and I think the
42:09
internet agreed with me but losing a little bit just so that you can get rid
42:13
of all the like just terrible people not
42:17
all of them but a lot of the terrible people is pretty
42:22
cool especially when
42:25
like could you attach I wonder if you could attach like a Skype
42:29
number that I don't know or something that isn't like your real phone yeah
42:33
that's something I haven't really tried I mean I mean obviously there's the
42:36
whole other issue of like basically like burner numbers yeah
42:41
being very very inexpensive yes but but
42:45
you'd have to go out and do something that's good enough for me in my opinion
42:48
yep and it produces a convenience yeah if if you reduce the convenience because
42:54
like I would rather go out and get a burner number or go get a Skype number
42:57
or something I don't know if that works I don't even know if that's possible but
43:00
go do something that takes a couple steps so that it would increase the
43:05
barrier of like oh in 20 seconds I can
43:09
just be trolling a bunch of people and just be a giant jerk well okay now maybe
43:13
you have to go to the store and buy a pay youo phone or something like that
43:17
that takes more steps you have to actually like leave your house and go
43:20
deliberately do something the amount of people that will actually do that is pretty low and that I would be very
43:24
happy to live with comic saber asks why no S8 oh it's coming I filmed it today
43:31
um yeah basically we didn't get one early so there's
43:37
that all right did we did we make fun of the note too much or like no actually
43:42
well there I just I had so much to say about it that it was already going to be
43:46
like an 11 minute video without pre-roll and integration no I mean like the
43:51
reason why we didn't get it early oh no no we've just the our our our Samsung
43:57
contacts it's it's a it's a complicated thing I we're probably getting too far
44:00
into like the boring business of being a YouTuber right now but basically we are
44:04
physically located in Canada oh but the majority of our audience is in the
44:09
US so so for a lot of big
44:14
companies the US division can't talk to
44:18
us because we are on Canadian soil and
44:23
the Canadian division only wants to talk about
44:27
stupid Canadian things I feel like we should like when this phone is launching
44:32
on Bell I don't care when it's launching on Bell I want to know when the hardware
44:37
is available so I'll get these stupid
44:40
press releases like you know three weeks from now that are like oh can you
44:46
believe this phone's coming to Rogers and tell us and I'm like get review
44:51
units available I'm like what am I supposed to say about it at this point
44:54
thanks for nothing so I feel like we should just like incorporate in Delaware
45:00
and get like a get like a 100 ft
45:04
one-bedroom apartment in like nowhere
45:08
land what is what is this oh I'm just Oh
45:11
I thought it was something I thought you're going to like get the hammer and attack me or something no um like this
45:17
is exciting um what is that what does that
45:21
mem paint me scared but excited or
45:24
something like that I don't remember what it is but whatever um but yeah like
45:28
I I I almost it's a pretty big issue being in Canada yeah um
45:33
companies even when I like tell them we're in Canada and they're like oh yeah
45:37
we can have our like Canadian contact reach out to you I'm like please no
45:41
please don't do that and they're like oh no it's fine I'm like it is not fine it
45:46
is not fine at all nothing about this is
45:50
fine yeah um speaking of things that are
45:54
fine we've got some fine videos up on Flo playing Club right
45:58
now yeah so you guys have been hard at work on uh some pretty crazy stuff is
46:03
there anything that's not totally behind the scenes that we can talk about I mean
46:07
there's the call for coders there's the fact that we've basically revealed what
46:10
the platform is I was just going to say uh yeah I guess I can address some of
46:15
the comments on this yeah that would be a cool time if people have uh questions
46:19
in twitch chat and I see them through the blur of twitch chat I will try to
46:23
respond to them a lot of comments on
46:26
mainly the YouTube side not this side
46:30
we're just very odd our camera's gone by the way um we're just very very odd like
46:35
people people being like Oh yeah building a different version of YouTube
46:39
is a terrible idea and I'm like yes it is yeah that would be a terrible idea
46:42
that's not what we're doing did you watch the video I would invest exactly
46:47
zero dollars in that idea yeah that's that's horrible um people that think I'm
46:53
like asking for a lot I am definitely asking for a lot but they're like oh my
46:56
God one person can't build this platform on their own like I know that's why I
47:01
included the section about how they're going to have to collaborate with all of the other people that are working on the
47:06
project wo so so so many misinformation this is
47:11
about to turn into a this is about to turn into a rant isn't it uh oh a little
47:15
bit I'm holding back I'm looking for questions in the chat all right I'll talk about some of the uh some of the
47:19
videos we have coming up so we've got the tiny laptop tested someone's asking
47:24
if I did hair implants lately no we did a bunch of really cool testing on that
47:29
uh that super tiny GPD pocket laptop
47:32
including running games on it itself uh
47:35
using Game stream it's got a great really sharp 1080p IPS display really
47:40
cool little device so we've got our video up for that we've got the first
47:44
build guide in over a year the Thousand
47:49
gaming build guide with pyro Technics
47:52
that is real fire you haven't seen this have you no
47:58
that is that is most is that when you just I think I gave you the can for that
48:04
no it's it's definitely more compli Ste my signature move of including
48:09
what no no the computer is on fire in
48:12
this video don't worry about it okay so there's something maybe get Alex to work
48:16
on this I've wanted to do this since scrapyard Wars 4 uh I wanted to work uh
48:21
with Rod on this but it like it isn't really working out I want to look into
48:27
fire cooling fire cooling using fire to
48:31
pull the air through the chassis okay
48:35
could be done fire would consume air so you use it to pull through so get some
48:39
big heat sinks y okay get a fire going
48:42
okay fire cooling I like it yeah I like it cool something with heat um so other
48:49
things that we have on there right now we have the worst CPU Cooler ever uh
48:54
sketchy heat sinks episode two
48:57
oh man that thing really is abominable um Floatplane be open to other creators
49:02
underwater microphone for GoPro wow that's an amazing picture not
49:07
for a while yeah um not photoshopped very real okay the Dolphins are the
49:11
Dolphins are photosho where did you do that we have the RGB RAM Roundup
49:15
Neighbor's Pool and I think now we're caught up to uh to what's up on YouTube
49:19
RGB RAM Roundup yep it definitely is
49:23
2017 yeah dog
49:27
all right so why don't you address some of the questions that people have about
49:30
honestly a lot of it's going really fast and I haven't really actually seen a ton
49:34
of them oh okay how is Flo planing supposed to be different the video
49:39
confused me so uh if you remember vessel back in the
49:44
day there was an idea where a video would show up on vessel one week before
49:49
it showed up on YouTube and there were exceptions to this like wow or anything
49:54
that was extremely timely if a new just came out it would show up on both
49:58
platforms at the same time etc etc etc um Floatplane is going to accomplish
50:03
that and and hopefully much more it
50:07
should have different tiers the quality should be better um will it will
50:13
hopefully soon have its own platform which we are very actively working on um
50:17
like its own website yeah not just a sub Forum online tech tips.com which is
50:23
like the impation works but it is pretty
50:26
janky yeah um and so yeah it'll have
50:29
other tiers that people can subscribe at which will have other things that having
50:34
our own kind of CDN thing setup will enable us to give to the people that are
50:38
contributing the biggest difference I think from in terms of what we think
50:42
will make it a success business-wise is that instead of being a burden on the
50:46
Creator instead of being a contract that a Creator signs and commits to
50:50
like a onewe Early Access window that um
50:55
you know they are contractually obligated to uphold that could potentially hurt their ability to get
51:00
the best discoverability on YouTube and that's the strength of YouTube
51:05
discoverability and reach a broader audience we're not looking to damage
51:08
that so for us the way that creators
51:11
would use float playe club would
51:15
be up to them yeah so if they wanted to
51:18
go like a more Rooster Teeth type route and say okay we want a 4-Hour Early
51:22
Access window sure then we'd kind of go okay then go ahead and do that you know
51:27
whatever whatever your subscribers are
51:30
down for we think is totally cool we
51:33
just want to build the platform for them
51:36
and allow them to use it as they will and part of the the like mentality
51:40
behind it the whole time has been not trying to force people to stay there um
51:45
so we're going to try to have very transparent we've always I think I like
51:49
to think we've always been really transparent at lus Media Group we literally have a series called honest
51:54
answers where we explain like what
51:57
how do we make money how do you get review samples like things people really
52:01
want to know and we want to be transparent not only to users with fine
52:04
Club but also to creators um we're not going to have weird Shadow algorithm
52:09
changes that like screw with everybody we're going to be very open about how we
52:13
use people's data we're not going to sell people's data um etc etc etc so
52:17
yeah the idea is the idea is pretty simple we vessel shut down on us pretty
52:22
much overnight and we went wow thank
52:25
goodness we are smart and talented enough mostly what's sitting in that
52:30
chair um to replace this functionality
52:33
for ourselves what about other people who
52:37
were successful with a tool like vessel and who would want something like that
52:41
in the future or were interested what are they going to use or who are just
52:44
interested what about why why is it that you have to be a giant sort of Mega
52:50
publisher like college humor or Escapist magazine or Rooster Teeth that can
52:55
afford to develop your own platform in
52:58
order to move viewers off platform where the Creator can make a lot more per view
53:05
um and deliver additional benefits to the viewer why do you have to be a mega
53:10
publisher in order to achieve that and we don't think you should have to be so
53:13
that's the idea we're building something that we were going to build anyway for
53:16
ourselves because we have that capability now and then we're taking it
53:21
eight steps further to make it accessible to other people yeah that's
53:25
float planing Club so people can use it like he was talking earlier however they
53:28
want they can set up whatever tiers they want maybe they have a 14year
53:33
exclusivity window that would be a pretty bad way to use the platform I
53:37
think personally but they can do that if they want we like our one week model it
53:42
works for us in terms of like a pacing of how we work on videos someone in the
53:46
chat asked do Floatplane videos ever hit YouTube yes all of them yep that is
53:50
definitely the idea um sometimes the window ends up being longer than a week
53:55
because timely videos go in the slot that it's supposed to go in and it gets
53:59
bumped back and weird things happen but they always eventually Hit YouTube um
54:03
and honestly actually have a great example of that so see this the RX 570
54:09
and 580 review that went up simultaneously yeah and for that reason
54:14
going back further the red weapon unboxing is not up on YouTube yet even
54:19
though it was posted on float playing Club on April 13th yeah so something
54:23
like a Red Epic Unboxing those red red weap un boing is awesome I think it's
54:28
super cool I'm excited to see it not time sensitive yeah it's not a new
54:32
camera it's an equally relevant piece of content two weeks from now three weeks
54:36
from now quite frankly and a large
54:39
percentage of people you guys are watching way show you so you guys have
54:42
probably heard about Floatplane before but a fairly large percentage of people
54:46
when vessel died thought we just didn't have that anymore
54:50
right and didn't notice anything changed because nothing changed nothing
54:56
changed is you still get the exact same amount of videos they're just also
55:00
somewhere else a little bit early so if you're not interested in FL play don't
55:03
worry about it enjoy your life have a happy day yeah but if you want to see
55:07
some stuff in a place that honestly has better comments um and does have a less
55:12
cancerous comment section I'll say that and that drives us to engage with it
55:16
more too which is y there's more comments from internal staff on there um
55:20
a and like better bit rates in most scenarios cuz it's variable okay this
55:25
guy tried to ask this question question a handful of times would you guys ever
55:29
get people like team fourstar I have no idea what that is yeah do you know what
55:33
that is not a clue okay and how would you handle dmca so dmca would we would
55:38
handle it the same way we're required to by law yeah um as for creators I'm
55:43
assuming they're like edgy or something so at least for the foreseeable future
55:49
uh creators would be on an invitation only basis because it opens us up to a
55:53
lot of liability to be hosting video content from our site uh we would have
55:57
to make sure that it's people that we trust so you would expect the initial
56:01
roster to be people who we know
56:04
personally yeah and that's about it a big part of that is we don't want to
56:09
grow too fast and break the prop or
56:12
something got someone asking would we be able to make an exclusive series for
56:16
Floatplane club like nerd Sports was on vessel yes we would do nothing to
56:19
prevent a Creator from uploading exclusive content and using Floatplane
56:24
Club as so so you got to understand what the Creator page is going to look like
56:28
it's going to look like your page float plan Club takes only like the sliver
56:34
down the left and I think a top Banner yeah everything else is branded the
56:39
Creator and unless the person browsing
56:42
that page actively follows other creators we don't plan to have a ton of
56:47
discoverability tools included no the idea is that a Creator would be able to
56:51
direct their viewer to their page engage oneon-one and not have to to worry about
56:57
any BS that happens in between that so whatever it is that they want to deliver
57:01
we want them to have the ability to upload it manage it the way that they
57:05
want and deliver a really high quality viewing experience and because the
57:09
platform will be paid every view will be paid for at some point so people that
57:14
are subscribed to us on Floatplane Club right now are paying three bucks a month
57:18
um we can afford to do that and I've had people point out to me well YouTube
57:22
could flip a switch and double their bit rates I I disagree in fact I think that
57:29
because of their scale they're actually less likely to do that if it were to
57:34
cost YouTube a fraction of a cent more
57:37
to deliver each view that would actually add up to
57:41
something real yeah whereas if it costs us a fraction of a cent more to increase
57:46
the bit rate of every what do we care
57:50
yeah yeah it's a very interesting experience and like like he said with
57:54
the maybe stuff that doesn't go on YouTu or whatever a Creator can do that we
57:58
don't have any plans to do that um but a
58:01
Creator could do that if they wanted I actually have thought about it but just like cell phone
58:06
footage okay yeah not like real videos well that that would be maybe where like
58:10
we'd have like an additional feed y uh
58:13
because there's like there's a I'm not going to go way too into it right now
58:17
but the like the other section which
58:22
one po oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so it could just go in like a different
58:26
area watch the mic have picked that up anyways um people are asking what about
58:30
YouTube Red yeah what about it so YouTube Red is sitewide and includes
58:34
Google play music great product we think people should subscribe to YouTube Red
58:38
it dramatically increases the perview um
58:42
like the perview earnings for the creators that you love and uh there is
58:47
absolutely no reason not to continue to enjoy YouTube red I mean for us really
58:52
we want to challenge creators to come up with different and
58:56
new ways to make Floatplane Club worthwhile for their viewers so you know
59:02
we'd love to we're also not going to be the like developers developers
59:06
developers where we're just going to put it completely in their hands we'll have some like guidelines and suggestions of
59:10
how they can do stuff yeah so the idea would be like
59:14
um you know on YouTube Red it's pretty
59:18
straightforward you subscribe to YouTube Red you don't see ads that's it that's
59:23
all there is to it what if you had other ideas what if you had ideas like you
59:28
wanted a a subscriber only chat for the first half an hour what if you had ideas
59:33
like you wanted people to have custom emojis you know things that are
59:37
available on other platforms like twitch but not on YouTube what if you had ideas
59:41
like you wanted to have a mailing list like a newsletter or something you going
59:45
to do that through YouTube Red no so
59:48
it's it's a toolbox that's the idea yeah
59:57
okay well I don't want the whole stream to end up being about this although I
60:01
will say that we're we're not losing viewers people are apparently pretty interested in it but um let's go ahead
60:07
let's move on to uh some of the other stuff that's going on the original
60:10
article here is from CNBC Nintendo SN mini apparently the
60:17
rumor is allegedly Nintendo was discontinuing the NES mini in order to
60:22
make room for the SNES mini which will
60:26
rumored be ready for the end of the
60:30
year I love this sub headline here the
60:33
SNES had popular games including Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country
60:38
really the SNES had popular games you
60:41
have got to be kidding me no way
60:44
apparently some Nest classic consoles are on eBay for as much as five grand
60:48
that's stupid what anyway
60:52
um okay yeah that's pretty straightforward uh I basically covered
60:57
everything that was so the new SNES will also have plug andplay set up and an
61:00
array of games which come pre-installed and ready to play okay well like maybe
61:04
some random dude put one up for five grand that no one's
61:08
buying cuz there's other ones that are not
61:12
$5,000 they look like $200 to $300 on
61:16
average which is a lot but it's not five grand that's a little blown out of
61:20
proportion cosplay goes bad for a gamer
61:24
in Grand Prairie or goes really really
61:27
well I have an alternative take on this go for it though um
61:31
basically um the guy was walking around the street with wearing what looked like
61:35
a bomb on his back he was dressed as a character from Fallout wearing a gas
61:39
mask helmet armor and bullet belt carrying a flag that said new California
61:43
Republic so first up you're an
61:48
idiot so there's that little bit um at
61:51
least eight officers responded with their long guns drawn yes we do have
61:56
guns in Canada and yes if you walk around looking like you're loaded for
62:01
bear we actually have you will get them pull on you per capita Canada has a lot
62:07
of guns yeah I know like a huge amount compared to most countries um he was
62:12
observed going into a ly's alterations because he wanted some
62:17
alterations made to the costume through
62:20
conversation with the man police were able to determine that he was wearing a costume and that there was no threat to
62:24
the public what had looked like a bomb turned out to be several Pringles potato
62:28
chip cans that were painted silver the man was taken into custody but later
62:33
released without any charges and probably a Stern talking to about being
62:37
a complete idiot so I think this is fantastic for the guy like one of the
62:43
best things that could have happened to him reason being uh-huh a lot of
62:47
cosplayers want to get sponsored I'm settling in here he made a cosplay
62:51
costume that was good enough to fool the police to get guns drawn on him to get
62:55
him pulled in okay so I'm going to stop you right there and say you're as much of an idiot
63:00
as him I see
63:03
this you were there when we were doing
63:07
the first Channel Super Fun okay yeah on
63:11
the bug ass salt a bright yellow gun
63:15
they didn't draw guns on you though a bright yellow gun that fires salt to
63:19
kill flies they thought two officers
63:23
they have to respond if someone report
63:26
someone with a gun so it was an idiot neighbor it could have been any idiot
63:31
the police had to respond but there was eight of them and they drew guns okay
63:35
that's fair if I remember correctly they just walked up casually and were like
63:40
okay maybe don't walk around swinging it around cuz like your neighbors are crazy
63:44
they thought it was cool yeah they tried it yeah yeah they were actually pretty
63:47
cool cops like they they were they didn't draw guns it's a little bit
63:50
different so this guy can take this and go like look my cosplay is so good it
63:54
fooled eight different cops they drew guns on me it's impressive bring me to
63:58
your convention pay me to make a cosplay thing I'm there could be the best thing
64:02
that's ever happened to his career terrible um man claims this is from
64:09
rs.com his Bose headphones intercept
64:13
what he's listening to an Illinois man says my headphones transmit audio
64:17
metadata to data minor
64:21
segment.io why would they be doing this
64:26
brutal it's a claim the Civil complaint alleges that
64:31
Bose collects the names of any music and audio tracks played through the
64:34
headphones along with the customer's personally identifiable serial number It
64:38
also says this information gets sent to third parties including data miners
64:42
segment.io Bose's lawyers likely will argue that while it may be sending out
64:47
copies of the metadata artist song title Etc its actions do not constitute
64:52
contents of any wire or or oral or electronic communication as defined
64:56
under the relevant wir tap law therefore it could argue that they are not
65:03
liable the Counterpoint is that Bose's products interact with consumer
65:06
smartphones which transmit operational instructions regarding skipping and
65:10
rewinding audio tracks which would be content holy crap what the hell man
65:16
super lame don't like it at all like is it not enough to get the 299
65:22
that someone like no what are the wireless they're like 3.99 really
65:25
expensive they're really expensive you already got $400 for a bomb cost that
65:29
has got to be less than $100 we need
65:32
someone else to make really good active noise cancelling headphones Sennheiser
65:36
pxt 550s are very good I liked the I tried both of them the Bose ones were
65:40
way more comfortable they are more comfortable you just said really good
65:44
you didn't say really more comfortable really good is an over they sound really
65:48
good they sound better yeah I believe that I'm just saying yeah I'm just
65:52
saying which I found country say that
65:55
that I liked to the Bose comfort more because um I wear siser headphones and I
66:01
prefer szer sound signature and I'm very used to how most Sennheiser Headphones
66:05
sit on your head sennheiser's audio file line the HD line has a different feel
66:10
that I wish they would just abandon all their other feels and just stick with
66:14
yep but it's not very it it feels good
66:17
pable it's not very portable and it doesn't look very good yeah so I get it
66:21
but yeah yeah um Microsoft is doing its own
66:26
Chromebook thing it's kind of weird that's pretty cool so original article
66:29
here is from Tech crunch so it's supposed to be one of
66:33
those like educ Cloud kind of devices that's very targeted at education stuff
66:37
because it's supposed to be cheap spin effective um no pictures of it like you
66:42
just said but yeah low-end laptop
66:46
cloud-based Services all day battery quad core Intel seller on processor that
66:50
shouldn't be that bad I mean quad core so it's probably going to lose because
66:54
it's Microsoft's cloud services versus anything um
66:59
wow you're as Savage as this jerky oh
67:04
oh seriously though that's mean I mean
67:07
um is it wrong what's it called sky drive or one drive now I can't even keep
67:10
track anymore I think one drive one drive is it that bad I hate it you
67:15
upload the file don't like it I don't like it
67:21
either all right that it's
67:24
weird oh oh apple yeah apple whole home
67:30
water cooling heating you're ruining my buzz right now
67:35
okay you're just you're harshing it um
67:39
Apple originally posted by PC World will
67:43
return heat generated by the data center
67:46
to warm up homes so this is being done
67:50
in Denmark this is a new data center that's focused on returning to the
67:55
community so it's uh it'll be fully powered by
67:59
renewable energy part of it coming from recycling waste products from farms and
68:03
won't put stress on the local grid and they're making a major push to be one of
68:07
the greenest companies on the planet um the new corporate headquarters
68:12
that I wonder how much it costs in building materials and how much that all
68:16
harmed the Earth to salvage from wherever they got it anyway that's not the point um their new corporate
68:21
headquarters called Apple Park will run on renewable energy they've also cut
68:24
their use of toic materials and are using more recycled materials in
68:27
products and packaging pretty epic all
68:33
right I guess that's pretty much it yep
68:37
well thank you for watching The W show and thank you for participating in the W
68:42
show thank you as well thank you it's been it's been a good week yeah it
68:48
has so I ate this whole pack it's gone it'll take me a lot
68:53
longer to get through my mojo habanero I love the maple bacon I like the Mojo
68:59
habanero the ghost pepper one when I
69:02
pulled this out was when I could have had another ghost pepper one if I really
69:07
wanted to but it's like it's like just
69:10
slightly outside of my like comfortable tolerance level the Mojo habanero is
69:13
like right in where it's like all right this is 95% flavor 5% uncomfortable bird
69:20
that was the one with the Citrus right I think so that one's nice it's good yeah
69:25
anyway um sorry I got a little distracted lime juice is the second
69:29
ingredient intro outro it's the end and
69:33
