you are now streaming live to Twitch you're not we are I mean you could be
0:06
but live from Canada but also push somewhere else so actually from
0:10
somewhere else kind of yeah where are we broadcasting from it's like a fraking
0:16
mystery you know what else is a mystery what is this show even about well we're
0:21
GNA put that mystery down to pasture
0:24
with a bullet right now point bullet
0:28
point there aren't even bullets points on the dock no this is the kind this is
0:33
the kind of lazy crap that I have to deal with around here no
0:37
bullets how are we going to kill this show today with no
0:42
bullets that's a dash that's a dash you
0:46
know what a dash is a speedy substitute
0:49
for a bullet I can't change it I don't know
0:53
how to fix it on Google AMD sees his mental optimization that's topic number
0:58
one today star 's creatively named FPS
1:02
module star Marine is having some issues
1:05
maybe it's
1:09
underwater why would that oh oh
1:15
sorry e you sounded so disappointment it
1:18
made my it made my joy Juices Flow which
1:22
sorry that's not really what I
1:26
meant okay I think most they made me spit out joy juices of this bit actually
1:30
landed on the monitor so it's okay um
1:33
NVIDIA reveals new Warner Brothers knew that Arkham
1:37
night for PC was a mess months ago and didn't do anything about it woo intro
1:42
time yeah I have way too much energy today that's cool where is my intro
1:46
intro why is it not playing intro didn't
1:50
work I don't know this is a bad song we
1:54
can make the intro work if we drag the right thing yeah no no I am determined
1:59
this is try to make the thing work
2:03
but boom it'll work now swamp butt
2:07
clenching hard enough could you clench so hard to
2:13
die would that be possible well is that
2:24
Happ you know the idea behind this whole
2:28
thing was that Ed was going to do like ones all the time we ended up with
2:33
two and aren't they the wrong color no
2:36
no that's fine oh they are now they're right now no oh these outro no no the
2:41
sponsor things are a mess you mean the intro yeah the intros like we were going
2:44
to do like we were going to walk across different Landscapes all the time and it
2:48
just never happened in Ed's defense he's been extremely busy turning lonus Tech
2:53
tips into a fire pretty much not a fire
2:56
I don't even no we are not talking about fire pools today he's been turning
2:59
lineus Tech tips into what a lot of people are considering like worthy of
3:03
being a Bonafide TV show so uh for those of you who have already seen scrapyard
3:08
Wars 2E on vessel and for those of you who are waiting for it on YouTube uh
3:13
honestly overall like considering the
3:17
size of the team we have working on a project like that um yeah we're
3:21
extremely proud of it and uh I hope you guys are are looking forward to or
3:25
enjoyed the uh the final part depending on how that whole thing went yes so this
3:30
was posted by K 7 on the Forum k
3:36
k this link is bogus what is happening
3:40
it's like a Bogus Journey I what is going on with my
3:44
cursor if it doesn't start cursing better I'm going to start cursing I'm
3:48
going to get the link shared in the yeah the link is going to be people on Twitch
3:52
are going to be on that website before you are unless no I'm not logged in so
3:56
you'll win yes never mind geted bro all
4:00
right so uh this is a link to the AMD
4:05
Fury review hopefully there's something about mantle Fury X excuse me something
4:10
something well you know what whatever an on Tech probably talked about it at some
4:14
point so uh we called it I called it you
4:18
probably called it did we collectively call this yeah um AMD has confirmed that
4:25
while they are not outright dropping mantle support that is such a great way
4:29
of putting it it's like we are not outright dropping
4:32
support for oxygen remove it yeah we're not going to remove the oxygen we're
4:38
just not going to replenish it so
4:44
yeah uh they're not dropping mantle support they have simply ceased all
4:48
further mantle optimization um so the mantle driver has
4:53
not been optimized at all for gcn 1.2 is
4:56
that is that equivalent to like our efforts on installing a fire pool
5:00
uh yes we have completely well no it's slightly different in that there was
5:04
never going to be a fire pole uh so the
5:07
mantle driver has not been optimized at all for gcn 1.2 that means R9 Fury X R9
5:13
285 R9 380 and the cizo Apu uh mantle is
5:18
essentially deprecated at this point and while AMD isn't going out of their way
5:22
to break backwards compatibility they aren't going to put resources into
5:25
helping it either mantle was never going to work it
5:31
was a cool idea um I think I even like I
5:35
waffled about this a lot um and I I
5:40
actually you know what what are we look for right now oh
5:44
this is kind of embarrassing I don't remember if I ever made an AMD mantle
5:47
video yes I did so I did make an AMD mantle fast as possible on Tech Quicky
5:54
and you can you can even tell a year ago this many people were interested and 3
5:59
mon months ago this many people gave a crap about directx12 and Vulcan some of
6:04
this is because Techquickie has grown some of this is because mantle never
6:08
really mattered because it was like there was like there was always a list
6:12
of games that were getting support there
6:15
was never games where it actually
6:19
mattered like Battlefield 4 with mantle was just difficult to Benchmark there
6:25
was no benefit it was just unless you play on
6:29
that one uh aircraft carrier mission where everything was breaking and
6:32
sliding to the left then there was a little bit right which in single player
6:37
so mantle was never going to succeed until an actual industry standard
6:43
supported by everything and everyone 12
6:46
um managed to to take that whole concept
6:49
of dramatically improving CPU overhead
6:52
and uh draw call Performance and was
6:56
actually everywhere so that game developers could legit Ely design their
7:00
games for everyone to play because we already run into this where the PC
7:05
doesn't get a game because developers can't justify the additional cost of
7:10
porting it and I mean whether that's due to piracy concerns or whether that's due
7:15
to just being obstinate buttheads you know you look at you look at how much of
7:19
an impact it's had on ubisoft's business over the last few years to actually
7:23
release their games on PC yeah um so
7:27
whatever the reasons you look at how how it sometimes happens that the PC doesn't
7:31
get that's with all PCS included so you
7:35
want to start breaking it down and going oh well you have to do extra work for
7:38
AMD PCS or like you know that's what I think a lot of um software but mainly
7:44
Hardware developers don't understand when they're releasing new things that
7:47
are like oh this is very very gamechanging but you have to use like
7:51
our STK to use a FX
7:55
accelerator yeah even when NVIDIA took the fizx onto the G with their 65 or 70%
8:02
discreet market share they still can't sell that they still can't do it because
8:09
it's not ubiquitous yeah I mean NVIDIA
8:13
has gotten away with some things with uh with with Gameworks for example but that
8:18
involves them handing it finished to the
8:21
game developer basically take this plug
8:24
it into your game it makes it look better on our gpus and theoretically uh
8:28
doesn't harm performance on someone else's GPU especially if you don't turn
8:32
the feature on which I guess is true
8:35
um oh
8:38
interesting uh there is a
8:42
shirt that has been released released
8:45
actually there's a couple of interesting shirt news related items so number one
8:48
is if you got a lonus tech tips # first
8:51
shirt and it was red don't worry you
8:55
probably also got an email unless you didn't get an email in which case I'm telling you now you probably also got
8:59
got an email from Teespring saying that some of the shirts were printed red
9:03
which you already knew because you got a red one right yeah uh so you've probably
9:07
already got a shirt that's red unless you didn't order one in which case you
9:10
won't have gotten any shirts and I sincerely apologize um but Teespring
9:14
will be resending at their own cost properly colored shirts Teespring bro to
9:20
those of you who got red shirts that's cool which is good because I got red
9:24
shirts I ordered I ordered four shirts they're red
9:30
can the CEO of a company wear a shirt
9:34
that's the wrong color I don't think
9:37
so but you know I'd do it anyway but probably yeah be like oh well I've worn
9:42
this one for two weeks time to change it so good guy tpr they are making it
9:47
happen no one is being forced to return the red shirts which is pretty nice um
9:52
and we also have a new shirt to announce today unfortunately it has nothing to do
9:59
with fire PES which is fortunate um it
10:02
kind of does it has nothing to do with
10:05
Fire PS which is UN it has nothing to do with fire P which is nothing to do with
10:10
fire PES a very small amount this my friends you're not logged
10:16
in so this is taking forever yeah um
10:20
well this is weird I'm clicking log in and it's not doing a thing what I don't
10:26
even know the password that is the ultimate in password security did you
10:31
know not knowing it did you know why
10:34
this thing that they're going to figure out very soon actually they'll catch up
10:38
by the time you post it probably uh no I'm not ready to post it quite yet I'm
10:42
doing a straw pull first are you going to buy this shirt yes
10:48
no the usual option that everybody loves
10:53
so very much so this my friends is the
10:58
new shirt design it is on teespring.com
11:03
vote for nice turnip and the straw pull
11:08
my friends apparently this is only a 10day campaign Mr Mr Nick light is
11:16
getting aggressive about his campaign periods that's intense that is intense
11:21
that is not a lot of time to decide to
11:24
uh to buy one did we sell seven in the time that we've been
11:29
sitting here refresh showing it to
11:33
people maybe I have no idea no wait no it doesn't say apparently we only set a
11:37
reserve of three so who is planning to
11:42
buy this shirt reserve of three we have
11:45
a massive 63% of you saying
11:49
turnip with 28% of you saying
11:52
no and only 10% of you saying yes
11:55
apparently Nick light would like to join us on the W show
12:01
hello caller you're on the W show hey um it's not actually no caller caller
12:05
you're caller I'm afraid your belligerent tone is simply not going to
12:08
work for this show can you uh can you just compose yourself and call us back
12:13
once you are more calm
12:20
sir okay sir I'm afraid these comments about my mother are simply not going to
12:24
be
12:27
tolerated sorry you can you can talk now it's okay am I am I on speaker or what
12:32
you are totally on speaker okay um the
12:35
the campaign's not actually 10 days it just wouldn't let me set a higher amount
12:39
it's going to be like 20 something 24 days probably um I've already emailed
12:43
our rep so he's going to extend it when he can um but yeah no it's it's up there
12:49
unfortunately four F wouldn't work so I had to use a four sorry well you
12:55
wouldn't be the first person to take that shortcut yeah exactly okay anyway that's
12:59
all I had to say it's not actually a 10day campaign it's longer okay thank
13:03
you okay bye enjoy your day off okay bye
13:07
oh no oh you missed him you didn't get a buy uh what is he talking about four uh
13:12
oh the uh is it printed on there with a four the link is vote for turnup which
13:18
in my mind is really not that big of a deal that's fine so uh just click it
13:23
anyways yeah the reason why this has a little bit to do with a firep it has
13:27
nothing if you go go to firepole doco
13:31
shut up is there did you create this I
13:34
did not actually I'll go to firepole doco I will I didn't do it I will take
13:39
the bait and I will go to fire Poole do.
13:42
Co no whoa no
13:48
LL fire pole yeah I see yeah there you
13:54
go the fire pole straw pole pole
13:59
yes should lonus install a fire pole yes no
14:02
turnip and we are getting a massive 77%
14:07
voting for yes okay okay okay okay all
14:11
right we have to address it at some point the fire pole is very funny it's
14:15
amusing would I enjoy a fire pole yes in
14:19
fact before Luke trolled the crap out of
14:23
everyone on the entire internet by with
14:26
his BS about fire Poes in the new office
14:29
Vlog before that happened I actually created like an MS paint drawing of the
14:34
new office that did include among other
14:37
things a fire Poole it is a joke that I
14:41
personally heartily enjoy but I will I
14:44
am going to educate you guys about some business realities we're not
14:51
firefighters we don't need a fire pole
14:55
arguably firefighters don't need fire Poes right so if they don't need them
14:59
then we definitely don't need them thank you for feeding into my point also fire
15:04
Poes come with a not insignificant liability concern nah can you imagine
15:11
can you imagine the look on the workers's compensation you know agent's
15:16
face when you know Taran has a repetitive strain injury due to
15:22
repeatedly going down the fire pole and they ask him what exactly does
15:28
descending a have to do with your daily work
15:31
activities as a video editor to which he would have no reply he would receive no
15:36
compensation and he would be poor with a broken wrist is that what you want if we
15:41
pointed a camera at it could be could it be a super fun
15:47
prop tell you what if nobody ever rides it not
15:57
once I will consider putting it in okay but if anyone rides
16:02
it I will remove it could you resist or is it just better
16:08
for us to say it wasn't meant to be so if we don't point a camera at it I I
16:14
think as an alternative you should enroll Luke in some pole dancing classes
16:18
yes I think that's our new
16:23
Strength I'm not even kidding Luke pole
16:26
dancing lessons it's for
16:30
turnip whatever man super fun that could
16:33
actually be a very excellent super fun LMG P dancing lessons I'll film for that
16:40
one I volunteer ble volunteers to film
16:43
the hell you will you're participating smart guy I'm on to you I think you'd
16:48
actually do the best you think I would do the best in pull dancing I think your
16:52
weight to strength ratio is probably pretty good you know what I look a lot
16:55
stronger than I am yeah but like my left ARM is weak the Nicks and I aren't going
17:00
to be able to right you guys are pretty topheavy yeah so uh Luke P dancing
17:05
lessons we've got a massive 81% voting
17:08
for yes if you're paying for it like I'm not going to say
17:11
no so what else does that apply to you
17:15
know that God should we do some actual
17:18
topics we've been on the air for 20 minutes
17:23
no okay
17:27
question are you you on the air if your
17:30
entire broadcast Wi-Fi is over
17:35
Wi-Fi so you're on someone's air yeah
17:38
but it's not the air but the the broadcasting
17:43
station it goes straight to air but the mic would go through a
17:48
cable so you're saying the air between the microphone and my mouth qualifies as
17:53
air everything has a cable at some point
17:56
everything has a cable at some point internally Poss possibly I could show
17:59
you something that doesn't have a cable wow actually my belt okay no cable well
18:07
that's possibly true but what about thread fibers thread fibers you know H
18:13
okay so we actually did a fast as possible on wires versus um cables wires
18:20
versus cables I think so I think so yes we did that no so a thread is too small
18:27
because a cable the uh the size of it
18:30
the girth of it is
18:36
implied okay um okay so Sony launches FirstLight
18:43
crowdfunding site which basically appears to be a way for Sony to get
18:48
funding for new products because they're out of money it's only in Japan the
18:53
website design is horrible op here is a good bites let's go ahead I'll uh have
18:58
you dropped this in I'm moving on it I'm going to I'm going
19:01
to pull this up on bitte here so I'm going to link this in chat but you guys
19:05
need to Google Translate it so just a heads up so first flight's initial
19:10
campaign is for a customizable remote control based on a low power
19:15
electrophoretic Electro electrooptic excuse me I misread that eaper display
19:21
similar to the harmony family except probably not functional at all because
19:26
even Logitech couldn't figure out a multifunction remote mode on their own
19:29
and acquired harmony with their years and years of expertise knowing Sony
19:34
it'll work with you know your Sony TV and your Sony receiver and your Sony
19:38
Discman and your PlayStation that you definitely have all of like the
19:42
compatible ecosystem products for okay no it's probably could use the remote to
19:46
use your cell phone which should just be the remote anyways prob it's probably
19:50
meant to be Universal but and to be clear universal remotes have gotten a
19:54
lot better in recent years with even some phone apps uh being pretty darn
19:58
impressive so um yeah I mean this to me is even more
20:06
reprehensible than reprehensible no I I
20:09
think it's the right word because like an indie product developer like uh
20:14
someone like a pebble and I'm not talking the most recent Pebble campaign
20:18
I'm talking when they were actually a small company um you know getting
20:21
crowdfunding and not contributing Equity
20:24
back to the investors funders um you you kind of get
20:29
it kind of this is like a multinational
20:35
corporation yeah not giving Equity back
20:38
to crowdfunders yeah so Whois remote
20:47
um I don't know it's kind of weird it's only in Japan that's something that we
20:51
have to remember so yeah Japan exclusive right now like apparently there's zero
20:54
plans yeah no plans to launch elsewhere at all so it's not really that important
20:59
it's just interesting that a large company went this route it's I guess
21:03
it's not the strangest thing that's ever happened in Japan no definitely not
21:08
definitely not or even at Sony
21:11
really um so oh we didn't actually
21:15
published the uh the Youtube announce I saw you like kind of looking at it I
21:19
couldn't tell if it was public or not I thought it was public but that's okay
21:22
because you the 2,800 people here now
21:25
you guys are the real MVPs yeah yeah
21:29
yeah most valuable and now that those
21:32
other people are showing up you're the MVP Everyone's an MVP most valuable
21:36
Everyone's an MVP we actually appreciate everyone who who views our content I've
21:41
had a lot of people ask me like for something like wow where it's available
21:46
a lot of different ways you can watch live on Twitch you can watch the archive
21:50
on YouTube you can listen on sound which most people don't know about we need to
21:54
talk about that more yeah which most people don't know about in fact it's the funniest thing isn't there still like an
22:00
unofficial thread in the Forum where people are uploading audio versions of
22:03
the wow podcast prob get more downloads than the SoundCloud yeah so every single
22:08
W show when it's archived on YouTube has a link to SoundCloud under it if you
22:12
just want to and and I enable download rights for all of them so you can just
22:15
download them and listen to them at your leisure so a lot of people ask me what's
22:18
the best way to support you guys to watch uh quite frankly I think the most
22:23
profitable is on Twitch I'm actually not
22:26
sure I I actually don't I don't know you get anything from twitch yeah I think so
22:31
well we don't specifically run ads so it's not a ton but I'm pretty sure the
22:35
ad that people get when they tune in because we don't do like mid roll ads or
22:38
anything yeah yeah so I'm pretty sure twitch is the the do we collect that I
22:43
don't know I don't think so finances
22:47
we're not a partner we don't have a sub button or chat emot we we are a
22:51
part well no I'm pretty sure because when I
22:55
asked for partnership for my channel which is still in limbo because the new
22:59
office isn't built yet reasons um he was
23:03
like I can give you all the partner stuff because all the thing the only
23:06
reason why I really wanted it was quality control right um he's like I can
23:11
give you like this sweet of things or this sweet of things or this sweet of
23:14
things and I was like I'll just whatever I'll just take all of it but we don't
23:18
have any of it right we used to get checks well do we
23:22
have do we have quality control I think we do I don't
23:26
know I don't know this computer is so slow oh my God I I don't know but it
23:32
says medium so I think maybe okay so so at any rate uh I don't know but the
23:37
point is we just want you guys to watch everyone's the MVP we love it when you
23:41
guys watch that's me digging myself out of the hole where I position some of our
23:45
viewers as more important than others because that is not the case we love all
23:49
of our viewers equally like children secretly all parents love some
23:53
of their children more they just won't talk about it you're a parent now which
23:57
one is it I can't talk about
24:01
it all right so NVIDIA unveils plans for
24:06
GTX 950 series range of gpus so original
24:11
article here is from kit guru.net let's
24:14
go ahead and pop this baby up um and I think this is rumor at this
24:19
point exact specifications for the GTX 950 and 950 TI or Thai as the cool kids
24:27
call it are unknown but it's uh highly likely that oh wow this is like this is
24:31
some super rumor stuff going on here it's likely they will have more than 640
24:36
but less than 1,24 stream
24:41
processors huge gap so yeah um so basically so yeah it's
24:50
funny because basically what they've done is they've created a chart yeah
24:54
this is brutal 960 and like the old 750
24:57
Ti 750 that they'd be replacing and they kind yeah probably somewhere in there
25:02
good guess uh yes probably somewhere in there uh it's safe to say that they'll
25:06
be somewhere in the sort of 150 or lower range and they will deliver up-to-date
25:10
features like DirectX 12.1 not that you'll be really enjoying any of the you
25:15
know Uber rendering features of directex 12.1 on a low-end first of a generation
25:20
of directex capable cards anyway um one
25:24
of my favorite parts of that post on kitguru was at the very bottom where it
25:28
was was like NVIDIA did not comment on this news story it's like the headline
25:32
is NVIDIA preps lowcost Graphics maybe and then whoever star
25:38
coaster that is a misleading headline that you posted online as Tech tips.com
25:43
NVIDIA unveiled nothing got us um so
25:46
it's going to feature h265 encoding and decoding fully compatible with htcp 2.2
25:51
content protection over HDMI 2.0 and
25:54
yeah so it'll be like better than the old things proportionally according to
25:59
how much better Maxwell Replacements were for the other old things in all
26:03
likelihood and power efficient in case you were concerned about that um
26:08
speaking of power efficient uh we've got a couple cool videos coming out this
26:11
week uh Fury X versus 980 TI in the
26:17
sg13 um so it's a small form factor case
26:20
we learned a bunch of really cool stuff so number one is that open test benching
26:27
I think our I think its days are over I think we're going to have to switch to
26:31
inase test benching because the results
26:35
the prevailing results out there for Fury X versus 980ti do not necessarily
26:40
align with the results that I get in a closed a more enclosed environment and
26:45
yes did you use the working furx this time I did okay a small form factor case
26:50
is not the be all and end all of computers a lot of people have big towers where an aircooled card will will
26:56
do better but now that GPU boost and whatever AMD
27:01
calls their turboing are such a key part
27:04
of the performance of a graphics card the actual system the card is installed
27:09
in becomes a major factor speaking of
27:12
systems we're actually getting a system for review for the first
27:17
time digital storm is sending us a bolt three oh cool so we're going to be able
27:22
to evaluate what I consider to be one of the coolest pre-builts out there because
27:27
it's legitimately from what people can build by themselves I mean the
27:31
differentiating factor is predominantly the cas of course but that's always
27:35
surprisingly case oh great a problem with the case case
27:41
needed to test graphics cards thing is
27:45
uh we're going to have to pick mediums and you're probably going to have to do more than one case yep cuz like that
27:51
little Silverstone case is going to perform much differently than it will
27:54
some other one so I don't actually have a clear answer as to how we'll do that
27:58
we might like we might just have to go okay everyone who's a gamer has a
28:04
fractal Arc mid2 and um that's how it's going to be
28:10
deal with it you know
28:15
sunglasses Boop that actually pretty good I was
28:21
watching it in here so I can see it properly that was fantastic um so we'll
28:24
have to figure out a strategy but I can say it was an unexpected result and then
28:28
I have another really cool one coming that really threw me for a loop I used a
28:32
high-speed camera to take our highest end g-sync monitor our 144 HZ Rog Swift
28:37
and our highest end free sync monitor our
28:40
xl2730z from Ben q and a fury X versus a
28:44
980ti and I used a high-speed camera to
28:48
detect the latency between clicking the mouse and a muzzle flash in the
28:53
animation of Crisis 3 and the results
28:56
raised more questions than they answered
28:59
but that's all I can say about it for now because uh that's all I can say
29:03
about it for now you'll have to watch the
29:06
video Yeah stop asking no one's asking anything nobody Lally because they
29:11
haven't seen it yet probably uh next uh Nexus posted this on the Forum
29:17
I've already uh posted the link don't worry about it um I realized it's
29:21
actually pretty fast for me to just do that on my way to pasting it into the
29:25
browser it is actually it's okay but sometimes I forget which is why it's
29:29
good to have you here and it's smoother that so the Star Citizen FPS module is
29:33
delayed for the foreseeable future wow that is two video ads above the
29:38
fold on one page for the same thing if you don't want to see it in WID screen
29:43
you can see it in a a little box I finally saw that uh that movie I wanted
29:47
to see um Avengers Age of Ultron okay is
29:52
that what it's called yeah AV yes I enjoyed it it was far superior to
29:57
Fury far superior to Fury burkel doesn't
30:01
even watch Marvel movies whoa yeah he's
30:04
like oh I am Burl I am a snob I do not
30:08
watch Marvel movies you know what I really enjoyed surprisingly really
30:12
enjoyed was Kingsman haven't seen Kings man Kingsman yeah it's it's ridiculous
30:18
the whole movie is just ridiculous I would probably enjoy it
30:21
sounds like my kind of thing I was talking to Brandon about it and trying to describe it and he was just very
30:26
confused and I was like just watch it and it was in the plane and he burst out
30:29
laughing many times on the plane just absolutely ridiculous anyways moving on
30:34
so it's delayed they showed it off at a like backers press event thing at I
30:38
believe PS East in April yeah they demonstrated the module there the
30:43
problem isn't that the module isn't working very well because it was
30:46
actually working fairly well at the event which is one hell of a thing if
30:51
you know how events usually go but the problem is networking back
30:56
ends so they have about 15% of the team
31:00
working on Star Marine right now it's been a pretty major Focus because it's
31:03
their next public release but the networking backend is throwing a kind of
31:07
wrench in thing so there's no like
31:10
release date now which kind of sucks but I don't
31:15
really care when does networking not throw a
31:19
wrench in things that's true but like I just I just yeah personally I'm okay
31:26
with my money being like reserved away for now I just want them to finish the
31:29
whole thing and then I'll get really excited in like 3 years four years yeah
31:37
and you know what that a game like that is going to be constantly evolving too
31:40
so you can probably kind of jump in at any time and there's going to be like
31:43
really cool new and interesting stuff to do yep um I wonder how the vote for
31:47
turnup shirt is doing this is one of those things where we just kind of like
31:51
we kind of put it together because you guys were like yeah we want to vote for
31:55
turnup shirt apparently 16 people have vote for turnup swag on order already I
32:01
want to vote for turnup shirt I'm I'm getting one I always buy them though I
32:04
mean like if I don't if I don't consider it good enough to buy then we probably
32:09
shouldn't release should yeah should it be on the store it's a pretty good
32:13
metric I guess it's like you know what that one's
32:17
kind of crap it's okay for the plebs you
32:20
know out there watching the show but me no man if you if you like run Ford but
32:24
then refuse to drive a Ford it's like hm
32:28
maybe not good yes exactly speaking
32:32
about maybe not good Warner Brothers oh
32:35
what do you mean maybe what is maybe oh
32:39
hold on can I jump in really quickly here on the subject of networking being
32:43
a like gigantic load of poo um if there
32:47
is anyone who has actually managed to
32:52
get SMB 3.0 multi-channel working and I
32:57
mean working like bonding together network interfaces like like taking a
33:02
quad gigabit Nick and a quad gigabit Nick and then a dumb switch and having
33:08
that transfer at 4 gabit speeds on a single file transfer in theory it does
33:13
that as far as I can tell it is a gigantic load of because I have
33:18
done everything fresh Windows 8.1
33:22
installs fresh Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2 fresh two ser 2012 r2s I have
33:29
tried uh link aggregation lacp I have
33:33
tried different modes of Link aggregation I have tried configuring the
33:37
Nick teaming from within the Intel driver I have tried configuring the Nick
33:40
teaming from within Windows Server 2012 r2's control center panel enable this
33:46
role and feature on the server it doesn't work I have found blog posts
33:51
from people who say it works but I have
33:54
never actually seen it work in theory
33:58
it just works no configuration no LCP no
34:01
smart switches no nothing in practice it
34:05
doesn't appear to do anything I even gotten as far as through Powershell
34:09
verifying that the SMB link is 3.02
34:13
between two Server 2012 R2 machines number of links open one number of links
34:18
that are always open one it's supposed to have multiple links
34:22
so if anyone's ever actually gotten it working and has some Pro tips I'm more
34:25
than happy to hear about them uh post on the Forum would be the best way to do
34:29
that it's down it's down it's down forum's down I know do it later um okay
34:36
so let's go ahead and move on to our next topic right Warner Brothers knew
34:40
that Arkham Knight PC was a mess months ago I'm going is not down yes yeah so
34:47
never mind so there's that so for the other like you know 150,000 people that
34:51
are going to watch then it's not you'll be fine yay you guys are MVPs too man
34:56
that's what I said so War
34:59
butts heyo yeah I remember when you used to
35:04
high five me and touch me without wiping your hands first you
35:08
learned I always used to like but you used to be a lot sweatier
35:20
yeah okay I'm sorry I'm sorry D you're toping anyways uh Warner Brother someone
35:26
there's a quote here but it doesn't say from who those are the best quotes
35:31
says I will say it's pretty rich for Warner Brothers to act like they had no
35:35
idea the game was in such a horrible State oh said one quality assurance
35:39
tester we don't know who exactly that sounds like a super
35:43
reliable quote who worked on the game for years apparently it's been like this
35:46
for months and all the problems we see now were exact were the exact same
35:51
unchanged almost a year ago
35:57
I guess do we even need to say anything else no yeah we do because because this
36:02
isn't news no that's my point
36:06
yeah obviously I mean you know the the
36:09
funny thing is is the online you know the bloggers and and even guys like us
36:13
will go how could they quality control blah blah it has nothing to do with
36:18
quality control it's not the devs we've talked about that a lot before like the
36:21
Ubisoft devs probably great not their
36:25
call to do a lot of the stuff that happens
36:28
so yeah I mean you you you I mean unless
36:32
you're like unless you're like sneaking into the office to like fix bugs on your
36:37
own time you have to do what the person writing your paycheck tells you to do
36:42
and honestly knowing some people in the gaming industry they do that they don't
36:46
sneak in but like they they fix stuff on their own time a lot of the guys do and
36:51
it's still not enough so I mean do we
36:54
need like a like a summary of like how utterly broken it is the good news is
36:58
that knows the good news is that Warner Brothers is paying for their sins uh
37:03
they are cuz they got wrecked they it is
37:07
costing them the steam fee every time you refund it which is great um steam's
37:13
refund statement is we want to apologize to those of you who are experiencing
37:16
performance issues with Batman Arkham Knight on PC we take these issues very
37:20
seriously and have therefore decided to suspend future game sales with the PC
37:23
version of course we talked about that before um it is unclear in spite of the
37:28
minor patch that addressed some crashing bugs introduced rain effects and fixed a
37:31
few other issues is unclear when it will go on sale again here's something I want
37:36
to know after Batman Arkham hold on is
37:40
Arkham Asylum Arkham City Arkham Origins
37:44
after Origins why was anyone even buying this
37:48
game especially pre-ordering it like really I didn't even I I think I got
37:53
like 25% of the way through origins and I was just like who the hell are all
37:57
these people yeah yeah like really like the big twist
38:03
at the end is that it's the The Joker I mean I would say spoiler alert
38:08
but I how is that a spoiler it's like
38:12
the most obvious thing ever it's like a bunch of non-name nonsense it's like
38:17
stupid was stupid I enjoyed Arkham Asylum a lot he did I loved Arkham
38:22
Asylum I even enjoyed Arkham City I think because partly because I left a
38:27
lot of time in between playing Arkham Asylum and Arkham City so so it felt
38:31
more new I guess yeah I didn't play it right at release so I I had kind of
38:35
forgotten that Arkham Asylum was the same damn game yeah but then I played
38:39
Arkham Origins right away afterward cuz
38:42
I was like right I bought Arkham Origins and then I was like oh I should really
38:46
play Arkham City and then I played those two back to back at least the part of
38:50
Origins that I played and I was just like do I you know what maybe I should
38:55
just replay Asylum
39:00
because you know what that linear Corridor style gameplay works really
39:03
well for Batman and you know I I I've legitimately thought about just replaying Assassin's Creed 2 before when
39:09
Unity came out and I was like this is such trash and I was like I need an Assassin's Creed fix I was like I could
39:13
just install two in brotherhoods in Ascension okay at risk of going on
39:18
another tie rate about how rubbish Final Fantasy 7 is compared to six um I have
39:23
actually done this when I forget which
39:26
Final Fantasy it was but it was really stupid and basically I put it down after
39:31
like a few hours fortunately I borrowed it from someone I did not buy it um and
39:36
I replayed the entirety of Final Fantasy 6 cuz I was just like nope nope I am
39:42
going to damn it I'm going to have a good Final Fantasy experience
39:46
today I'm not in one sitting obviously it's a pretty long game but uh that's
39:50
awesome I I finished the Starcraft 2
39:53
campaign and was like really really frustrated with the end this wings of
39:57
Liberty yeah okay it's like good enough campaign you like RTS campaigns too so
40:02
you get it it's it's a good enough campaign and then the very last
40:06
cinematic I was very frustrated with so I was like screw this went back and
40:09
played the Warcraft 3 campaign the Warcraft 3 campaign is great I love it
40:14
it is so great it's really good yeah like oh Ben yeah it's it's really good
40:20
like you actually I'm more invested in in in like the characters of Warcraft 3
40:25
in some cases than I am in some TV shows and movies like you know watching him
40:30
turn from like you know the Paladin into
40:33
like the L night or whatever nonsense I
40:36
don't even remember the character classes or whatever rexar is bad all
40:39
that stuff and like uh whatever they all it's been a long time since I played it
40:43
but that that Elder Taran guy yeah uh
40:47
crap his name is it is it BL blood hoof
40:51
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah he's awesome I love all those guys
40:55
those are just so good at that actually have we heard anything about what's that
40:59
uh what's that team based FPS that they've got going on something lock or
41:03
something over overlooked over Overwatch OverWatch yeah has there been any news
41:07
on that lately I think so yeah nothing major I think it's just been like oh
41:11
here's a new character or here's some
41:15
footage of people fighting on a map or something I don't think there's been anything huge beta confirmed for this
41:19
fall okay so yeah I'm I'm I'm gonna play it because like me too I I take a lot of
41:23
flack for not being a real gamer from people um I actually played like shed
41:28
loads of TF2 like hundreds of hours of Team Fortress 2 that's why I'm
41:33
interested in this and and but I'm done with Team Fortress 2 because it's free
41:37
to play Oh is OverWatch free to play probably oh okay well whatever uh anyway
41:42
you know seem be Blizzard's directions this is going to be like me being like a
41:46
snobby elitist well you know I paid for
41:49
The Orange Box so you know all these like trash freet to-play players it's
41:54
it's not about that it's about that it
41:57
really did change the dynamic when valve
42:00
got focused on selling hats as opposed to selling copies of a game for $59.99
42:06
it it really does change the game in a big way and there's reasons that some
42:12
valve games even ones that have free to-play aspects like say for example oh
42:16
I don't know gun skins or knife skins uh like csgo remain paid titles having that
42:22
pay barrier in place actually does keep
42:26
out some of the riff ra and I don't mean Riff Raff like people who can't afford
42:29
the game I me I mean Riff Raff like people who are buying multiple copies of
42:35
the game in order to dink with it or or
42:38
hack or just basically like not care
42:41
investing in being part of a community ultimately does tend to result in a more
42:47
invested Community member that's yeah I generally prefer paid games especially
42:52
paid MMOs freeto playay MMOs are just garbage
42:57
garbage in my opinion yes this is all I
43:00
am i o i our ho o i o ho o in our
43:05
opinion Yeah in our opinion we're basically one person as far as we can
43:10
tell I split off at some point that's why he's much larger than me yeah except
43:15
I'm older than you how does that work you must have may I split off and I took
43:19
too much matter no you were in an embryonic stage at the beginning or
43:22
something cuz you're cuz like your age doesn't start until you're born so maybe
43:26
it was pre-birth M but if we share a
43:29
mother then why is our hair color different it's not much different it
43:33
shouldn't yeah it's pretty different you're pretty blonde You' got kind of that Platinum nonsense that chicks dig
43:37
going on mine bleaches in the summer though yeah mine too but not clearly not
43:42
either that or have do you have gel in I do I don't you don't okay that could be
43:50
arranged something about marry reference
43:54
yes great work uh okay so um R9 Fury X
44:01
sound issues some people have reported
44:04
whiny pumps and PC per went as far as to
44:08
acquire I think two retail R9 Fury X's
44:12
uh this was posted on the Forum by Big stuns St and it has basically been
44:18
determined uh no I did not thank you it has basically been determined that while
44:24
AMD did tell some reviewers uh not us
44:28
that the pump whining issue that some reviewers were en counting like kind of
44:32
a high-pitched wine that you get with some cheaper pumps we had our power
44:35
supply wine but not our pump yeah and you know what the other power supplies
44:38
that I've tried it on since didn't wine so that was interesting um so our pump
44:43
didn't wind so we never really asked about it but they were told oh it's
44:46
fixed and the retail units will be fixed but PC per actually got retail units
44:54
that were whiny but some uh some
44:59
enterprising you know online community members have gone ahead and uh and and
45:05
started taking the front plates off of their Fury X's to reveal that there are
45:10
indeed two pump R Visions one with a shiny Cooler Master logo and one with a
45:14
colorful Cooler Master logo the shiny one is the new one um so if you have the
45:20
shiny you can actually check if you have the whiny pump version or the non- whiny
45:24
pump version by checking under that shroud that can
45:27
and this is something we didn't mention in our Fury x video because I complely
45:31
missed it um and I guess you did too since you hosted that video but AMD is
45:36
apparently providing the um like the the models for that front plate so you can
45:40
3D print your own like customized ones I don't that's think they told us yeah
45:46
that's pretty cool hey yeah yeah I would have liked to have called that out yeah
45:49
cuz I mean embracing the modding Community is like thumbs up from us we
45:53
love that stuff yeah um so so anyway yeah the pump wine
45:58
to be clear is nothing to do with whether the card is hey hey Ed's doing
46:02
the garbage don't forget to remind next next week's person who's that I think
46:06
it's Brandon yeah it's an order of higher date mostly except you're first
46:10
for some reason because I didn't want to make you first cuz I didn't want to like
46:14
cuz I made the schedule so I didn't want to be like ha you have to do it today so
46:17
I moved that and then everything else is there are so many things that I do just
46:20
in order of seniority more so that I just don't forget people than anything
46:24
else did you ever clean the bathroom I didn't you didn't why no I'm just
46:30
wondering I I will I well look at it this way realistically when we move out
46:35
who's going to be the one St cleaning the bathroom so at some point I will
46:38
clean it um maybe he might be asking because
46:42
there's technically no punishment if I don't clean the bathroom for someone to
46:46
miss I thought about it and then I took the garbage out
46:50
anyways uh so anyway the whining is
46:54
regardless of whether the card is underload or not underload and it's
46:57
actually something that even when I started hearing about it I didn't really
47:00
think anything of because most cheap pumps and when I say cheap I don't mean
47:05
like H it's cheap it will fail tomorrow I mean like when you're building a
47:09
custom water cooling Loop you're spending $100 on your pump an all-in-one
47:13
water cooler with a block a radiator a Pump tubing and like mounting hardware
47:18
and a fan is like less than $100 so let's just put it in perspective a cheap
47:23
pump is going to tend to have some noise whatever the silence enus
47:27
out there might think about it um so I didn't really think anything of it but
47:31
some people have been saying that apparently it's quite obnoxious whereas
47:34
our FX I could barely even notice it over like an air CPU Cooler for example
47:39
so and like I'm pretty picky you know this any of you who have ever seen my
47:43
rig in person and been like
47:47
what uh will probably know this so there
47:51
you go um uh someone in chat just asked if
47:56
we can see the chat no we cannot no um I
48:00
can look at it now it's a bunch of stuff about fire PES why am I even looking at
48:03
this nope nope you're
48:07
fired pull oh snap being fire pulled
48:12
would actually really hurt a lot fire pulled it's a large amount of metal like
48:17
someone hit you imp oh or impaled you with it impaled would hurt sort of
48:21
regardless of what it was with Y I mean unless it was not too long
48:28
wow well if it's a fire pull it's pretty did you know that
48:32
impalement is actually like like the death process is from your own body
48:39
weight no yeah yeah it's actually like
48:43
much wor like like impale can be used simply to describe like stabbing like
48:47
skewering but impalement like the execution when you're like dropped on it
48:51
is when no you're not dropped you're more placed oh right and then you like
48:55
yeah and then you you slide so the more you squirm the faster you die kind of
48:59
thing so that's sort of a gross fact that's
49:02
unfortunate maybe a factoid did you know that a factoid is an untrue fact really
49:08
yeah what this one I'll this one I'll
49:11
prove because most people don't know that factoid
49:15
definition a factoid a brief or trivial item of news or information an
49:20
assumption or speculation that is reported and repeated so often that becomes accepted as
49:24
fact wow interesting hey that becomes accepted as fact
49:33
yikes yeah kind of like that did you
49:36
know 90% of all statistics are made up on the spot or whatever thing you know
49:40
what my favorite Twitter account is which one stats Canada stats Canada it's
49:44
a fake account and it's hilarious they just released random fake statistics
49:49
about Canada and it's so funny while you
49:52
look up a real thing I'm going to look up that speaking of which we have a new
49:56
at real Canadian so our our hire from
49:59
the US is like getting his car
50:02
registration changed over today he's got his work permit I think he's planning to
50:07
start next week but he's not technically a Canadian yet no I don't think he has
50:12
citizenship he has a work permit but then once you're working in Canada for a
50:15
long time the process of applying for citizen BEC much easier becomes pretty
50:19
straightforward yeah um speaking of waiting lists this was posted by Jos on
50:23
the Forum there is now a waiting list for ipv4 addresses the end is nigh we
50:30
actually did a fastest Possible episode on ipv4 versus IPv6 and how IPv6 is
50:37
basically going to be enough for everyone in their dog to have hundreds
50:40
of thousands of IP addresses uh whereas ipv4 with the internet of things and
50:45
with all the houses being connected and businesses needing all these IP
50:49
addresses and websites and blah data centers and blah blah blah blah blah
50:53
ipv4 we are like straight up out of
50:56
addresses there are apparently only about 150,000 ipv4 addresses left in the
51:01
pool at Aaron one of five pools left worldwide so Aaron is the American
51:05
registry for internet numbers so they actually had to tell an applicant for a
51:09
new internet address to wait Holy balls now to be clear they are
51:14
reused constantly so it's not like like you you churn and burn through them or
51:19
anything like you know when you when your IP address changes with from your
51:23
ISP like your your external IP address you can have not as many as you want on
51:27
your local network but sort of as many as you want if you're a network admin
51:31
and you're super smart about it um
51:34
like okay the point is going down a weird tunnel here sir yeah don't worry
51:38
about worry about that tunnel yes you can assign
51:45
192.168.0 Point whatevers to your heart's content behind your your outward
51:50
facing uh IP address but that one can be
51:54
reassigned and recycled by your internet service provider so when you're done
51:57
with it they might pass it along to Jeff down the street or or whatever the case
52:01
may be a Jeff so um blah blah blah
52:06
so yeah so some of the ones that have
52:09
been assigned may get returned if an address holder goes out of business or
52:12
fails to pay its dues and there will be a few more distributions from a global
52:16
pool run by I can but for now getting weight listed is mostly a problem for
52:20
bigger entities but it is definitely a
52:23
thing interesting so I P V6 which has
52:28
some very um unfortunate compatibility
52:32
implications for older Network hardware and there's going to be some Hardware
52:35
upgrades there there there will be and they but they've been rolling out fv6
52:40
stuff for a really long time of course it will be a absolute crap storm yes but
52:45
they've been working on this for a really long time like it's been in
52:49
progress and like I mean okay it's like the uh we just shot a fast as possible
52:54
about um Wi-Fi security and like the the number of Articles
53:00
while I was researching and the the amount of facts that there is behind people
53:05
still using WP and
53:08
WPA encrypted passwords on their Wi-Fi access points is is obscene especially
53:14
when you consider that it has been by law you've had to have WPA2 support on
53:19
anything with a Wi-Fi sticker on it since 2006 for like 9 years I mean who
53:24
is actually using a computer from years ago when did wrt54 GS come out oh wow I
53:30
don't know I I'm pretty sure it supports WPA
53:36
to of course there's a Wikipedia article look specific R the GL is the kind of
53:42
the important one here this guy 1.3
53:46
yeah um doesn't have a date wow thanks
53:50
for that Wikipedia wow you're useless yeah useless pedia horrible I'm going to
53:56
to ignore your donation request even harder next time more than 20 I actually
54:01
donated last time to be clear I love Wikipedia I think what they do is
54:04
December of 2002 was the WRT54G well there you go so it's
54:09
probably a whole bunch of those great to be completely honest I
54:15
wouldn't be surprised at all oh my goodness speaking of things to
54:20
not be surprised about the W show has
54:23
sponsors yeah so our sponsor today are
54:28
linda.com CRF Linda what is going on
54:31
with the freaking doc here
54:35
it what the heck are you look the whole
54:39
thing shifted over I know there's no scroll bar I don't understand the things
54:43
that I'm seeing I am going to open a new tab never seen that before lonus is
54:47
solution to everything open a new
54:50
tab that my friends is why I have so
54:54
many browser tabs God it's like quick
54:57
scroll wheel click scroll wheel click damn it okay uh so linda.com used by
55:03
millions of people worldwide okay now I told you that you were going to have to
55:06
have your mom's site on linda.com by the time we did our next spot but I wasn't
55:09
expecting it to be the following week did I say Linda right that makes no
55:13
sense linda.com can teach you to make a website that's true it can in fact it
55:17
can teach you many of the skills that you'll need to uh to um to to work on
55:22
your Squarespace website okay let's talk about linda.com so they've got more than 3,000 courses available with topics like
55:28
web development uh photography visual design
55:31
and business they also do software training like Excel and WordPress
55:35
Photoshop um now the thing about linda.com is it's not just for you young
55:39
techsavvy kids it can be for people like your parents if they're looking to
55:44
become young techsavvy kidss and they've given up on the young part and kids part
55:47
because they're your parents they can't be kids unless of course they have
55:50
parents in which case they would kids so the point is whether you want to set new
55:55
financial goals work life balance invest in a new hobby ask your boss for a raise
55:59
find a new job or improve upon your current skill sets uh invest in
56:03
linda.com you can get a 10day free all you can eat trial and plan started only
56:08
$25 a month head over to linda.com wow
56:11
to try it out and start learning today which leads us into the second sponsor
56:16
now I did set that deadline I didn't realize we'd be doing a Squarespace spot
56:20
the following week did you by any chance get the migration finished it's there
56:25
it's not done yet it's not fully done yet okay let's wait for the next one so
56:30
for those of you who missed it I was mortified through the entire Squarespace
56:35
sponsor spot last week because Luke in his infinite bloody wisdom told me that
56:40
his mom's site which we'll show you next Squarespace but his mom's site was on
56:44
Squarespace and that's why it was great and stable and wouldn't crash so I was
56:49
like yeah I'm totally getting like I'm
56:52
totally getting worked like a like a like a a a uh a cookie
56:57
dough I couldn't think of something you got there it's fine yeah I'm totally
57:01
getting I'm totally getting worked here but we're going to show the site anyway
57:05
here's Luke's mom's site it crashed immediately because it wasn't actually
57:09
on Squarespace so I'm sitting there we've got hostgator.com or something on
57:15
my screen share in the middle of me doing a Squarespace ad integration and
57:20
I'm like wow I really hope they don't watch this I got an email
57:26
like three hours later from our Squarespace contact who's not just our
57:31
Squarespace contact he watches the show
57:34
okay I was hoping he missed it that week
57:38
and he's just like dude that was hilarious that was like the funniest
57:42
thing I've ever watched like I swear he
57:46
enjoyed watching me stew so they haven't
57:49
dropped us they're still they're still sponsoring us and why do we love Square
57:55
Face well because they have a rocking ass product you can make yourself a cool
57:59
website whether it's for a store a Blog a portfolio or you just want to make a
58:03
website because you think websites are cool their plans start at $8 a month
58:06
they'll throw in a free domain if you sign up for an entire year you can save
58:10
10% if you use offer code Linus on squarespace.com their websites work
58:15
great across a variety of devices and they make it so easy anyone can do it
58:18
with 247 email tech support but why else
58:21
do we like working with Squarespace because they have a sense of humor and
58:25
they can handle working with us they've worked with us for a long
58:31
time and they've seen some bad sponsor spots man the worst of which was last
58:36
week yes there's been many bad on they put up with us anyway and that's what
58:40
business is about is about relationships we have dropped sponsors I
58:45
I don't like airing dirty laundry and I'm not going to name any names but some
58:49
people figured out one of them when we did a jack threads integration recently
58:53
so we have dropped sponsors because it's
58:57
all about figuring out are you working together and sometimes we get a
59:02
complaint about a sponsor whether it's through our Forum or through you know
59:06
contact information on our website which is powered by Squarespace not the Forum
59:09
by the way they don't have a forum module um but just Alliance medag
59:12
group.com website we we get
59:15
complaints sometimes and that doesn't
59:18
mean we drop a sponsor immediately because there there's always going to be
59:22
trouble but when we take that to the sponsor and they don't deal with it in a
59:28
in an awesome manner right away then we see that as a huge problem because we
59:32
don't want to be repping guys that aren't taking care of you guys aw that
59:36
puts us in a super awkward position
59:39
where we have to be bad people basically and neither Luke nor I wants to be bad
59:44
people nope we might roleplay bad people sometimes but that's not actually being
59:48
bad
59:53
people anyways moving on um we have more
59:57
news about things uh yeah some of these are very rapid fire um Windows 10 will
60:02
be rolling out and yeah we we'll talk about yeah yeah that's a big deal uh
60:06
Windows 10 will be rolling out in waves not everyone will get it at launch this
60:09
was posted by Bozo on the Forum but if you have the little Windows icon in the
60:13
bottom right hand corner of your computer and you've reserved already
60:16
then you'll get it in the first wave so that's great cuz I like hardcore did
60:21
that I think I did that on one of my god did I reserve this one yes I think I did
60:25
I did it on one of my computers and then I tried to do it on my other one and it
60:29
never gave me the option to actually reserve it oh maybe that is what
60:32
happened cuz I have reserved on oh maybe
60:35
this one didn't Reserve no but I got a confirmation for this one yes view
60:39
confirmation okay I'll go do that on my other computer yeah click view confirmation and then you guys should be
60:44
able to see buy hell your upgrade is
60:47
reserved so if you have that then you should be okay yeah and you can cancel
60:52
your reservation apparently I have no idea you could do that I don't want to I
60:56
want Windows 10 me too uh what else we got here uh the Plex forums were
61:00
compromised hackers gained IP addresses passwords and more so this was
61:05
originally posted on Droid Life I'm going to go ahead and fire that up here
61:09
um did you post this in they got encrypted Forum passwords yeah uh
61:14
although um H I'm I'm going to go gather
61:17
the Microsoft
61:22
one yeah okay uh encrypted Forum
61:25
password words are not always the most secure thing in the world now to be
61:28
clear the ones on Linus Tech tips.com
61:32
currently uh using IP board thumbs up uh
61:36
but we have encountered in the past with other Forum software um user password
61:42
encryption that was uh not strong enough
61:45
to resist some fairly rudimentary um migration so to
61:51
speak um
61:56
that is all that is all we have to say that made us very very uncomfortable and
62:00
absolutely everything was destroyed immediately um so there you go uh so
62:05
there you go if you're on Plex then you should probably be uh you should
62:09
probably be not using that password anywhere else ever and stuff like that
62:13
uh just in general highly recommend using a password keeper um so that
62:17
things like bunk passwords can be changed without so you can use different
62:21
passwords everywhere without actually having to remember them all we should
62:25
probably do like like an LSD episode of
62:28
like password Keepers cuz you've done a fair bit of research on them I have but
62:32
I'm finding issu for every piece of good
62:35
news there's two pieces of bad news yeah is how it kind of goes isn't it yeah um
62:41
so this is really interesting Facebook set to become a serious YouTube
62:47
competitor original article here is from recode.net and I don't know how much
62:53
stock I would put in this but did you ever read that article that I sent you
62:57
and Nick that was uh subject line required reading so did
63:03
you yes I did subtle hint
63:07
there yeah so I read and Luke read um or
63:11
at least he tells me he read actually no you replied to that with some with some
63:14
insightful comments so okay I believe you read it um so we read not together
63:19
like sitting together on the couch like reading it together um we read a really
63:24
cool article about about how much traction Facebook has in online video
63:30
without anyone actually really realizing it and it makes sense because of the
63:34
amount of sheer views that like our videos get yep and and little tweaks
63:40
that Facebook has put in place like autoplay as you're scrolling past it
63:44
with manual audio enabling smartest
63:47
thing ever I mean that's that's what some newer platforms like vessel for
63:51
example is doing stuff like that video thumbnails inspired by Harry Potter is
63:56
apparently what Facebook's developers said about this feature it makes sense
64:01
cuz if if it's moving it's going to be more interesting yes yes there's
64:06
legitimately been fa uh videos on Facebook that I've seen start going
64:09
especially very action heavy ones like super fun Style videos that I've been
64:13
like oh wa okay wait that looks pretty interesting when you see the ball
64:17
sitting still at the top of the Green Hill the big red ball it's like okay
64:21
when you see a bunch of dudes shoving it down the hill it's like okay that's more
64:25
interesting AUD we obviously believe that online video is the future we
64:31
wouldn't be investing our lives in creating online video I like to think um
64:37
but Facebook is set
64:40
to change the game a little bit cuz right now I mean Facebook for premium
64:46
content I consider kind of laughable I don't expect someone to watch an entire
64:51
video in that tiny window like an entire review in that little window uh Facebook
64:57
doesn't have tools for creators that allow us to see things like audience
65:01
engagement we can see a view number we don't know what they watched we don't
65:05
know how much they watched we don't know how engaged they were it it's really
65:08
very meaningless like they're still way behind in terms of more premium content
65:13
something that YouTube has made enormous strides towards but the one of the big
65:18
obstacles that prevented people from even wanting to post on Facebook was
65:22
that Facebook wasn't sharing ad Revenue
65:25
well now that's the big news Facebook
65:28
will start sharing ad Revenue with video creators same rev split as YouTube which
65:33
is pretty interesting um yeah I don't
65:37
know the sharability of Facebook is intense yeah like wow totally different
65:44
like it's like if YouTube's mainstream Facebook is like is like you're born
65:50
with it kind of thing like Facebook is super M People starting to do that
65:53
people starting to uh make Facebook accounts to their kids absolutely it's
65:57
the same idea you were talking about this a while ago about making a Gmail
66:00
account yeah it's the same kind of idea you post things to their Facebook page
66:04
before they actually start using it yep yeah this is this is all this is all
66:08
stuff that is that is a big deal and I mean we as online video creators didn't
66:14
even really need more of an incentive to upload to Facebook because it's super
66:17
simple you just drag and drop and you copy paste like if you're already
66:21
publishing somewhere uh this is this is really interesting we're at the very
66:24
final stages of signing a deal to get our content translated and posted on
66:29
Chinese video sharing sites so uh so it'll actually have uh Mandarin
66:34
subtitles yeah um and baked into the
66:37
videos and this will be an official Linus Media Group Endeavor so so for us
66:41
posting to something like Facebook where English is fine is even way less work um
66:47
so we've been posting there regardless of whether we're getting an ad share or not and so now to be offered an ad share
66:53
is even more compelling because it's just more reach it's just a broader
66:57
audience I thought in the early days of lonus tech tips you know maybe it'll be
67:03
possible to have 100,000 subscribers someday maybe there are a 100,000 people
67:08
on Earth who are interested in the kind of technology that I talk about that's
67:12
what I thought and I learn day after day
67:16
week after week that the sky limit on this thing new enthusiasts are born
67:22
every day and I don't mean that in the like h it's a play on the sucker is born
67:27
every minute no no it's not like that it's just we're replenishing our supply
67:31
new enthusiasts are coming to take the place of the ones who you know lose
67:35
interest or or whatever the case may be and so that's how we've continued to
67:40
grow and and and this audience is is it seems like practically unlimited so yeah
67:44
we're going to post to more video sharing sites and yeah it's a good thing
67:49
umle ask people where they where they like watching videos the most and do
67:55
like a bunch of the kind of main ones so
67:58
Facebook uh YouTube YouTube um vessel where else do
68:05
we publish we'll we'll do Google+ as uh
68:08
YouTube because it is um
68:12
mobile mobile is that fair CU a lot of
68:15
these things have mobile options though um can I segment it
68:22
out can I say YouTube desktop
68:26
that's going to be a lot of pull options but sure you can add more so yeah does
68:30
Google so so through and when we say goog plus we're talking like through go+
68:34
like you're actually on Google+ watching like viewing a video isn't that just
68:38
YouTube links though embedded YouTube videos yes I think so okay okay so let's
68:45
leave that out and I'm actually going to switch be I'm going to uh I'm going to
68:49
uh break out iOS and Android okay um and
68:52
then I I'll leave in another
68:56
um can you think of anything else Daily Motion I don't think it's going to get
68:59
any votes but Daily Motion I I already
69:02
know the answer to that because our videos have been on Daily Motion forever
69:05
like we've been um like it's actually automatically uploaded from YouTube um
69:11
like that there's an official LTT daily motion and no one watches it no um like
69:16
what else is there I mean really Facebook and YouTube
69:20
are the ones twitch yeah twitch is something I was thinking about so twitch
69:24
um uh as
69:27
Boo and we're talking in terms of experience not necessarily where you
69:31
watch where do you prefer to watch who delivers the best online video watching
69:37
experience in your mind and there's a lot of different ways to interpret this
69:41
and you'll just have to kind of leave it up to you whether you whether your experience is mostly dictated by the you
69:47
know the compression algorithm or whether your experience is mostly
69:50
dictated by the discoverability of fun new content uh that's entirely up to you
69:55
TV G oh sorry I it's fine it's not going to get any anyways okay so I'm going to
70:00
go ahead and post that
70:03
um who was saying vessel vessel's in there vessel's in there yeah don't worry
70:07
got oh Vimeo oh we okay uh people people
70:13
who want Vimeo just just other I mean basically other is going to be Vimeo at
70:17
this point I think yeah uh so hold on I
70:21
wanted to go back to the notes from that Facebook thing so Facebook claims they can get
70:26
more eyeballs than YouTube by being a social network first and video platform
70:30
second which I think is an interesting point because I would make the argument that YouTube is very much a social
70:36
network I mean to call it anything else is sort of stupid um there's saying it's
70:41
a social network first they're not saying it's not a social network yes
70:44
that's true um but one thing that they are correct about is that YouTube's
70:51
social network is less less group oriented it's more wheel
70:56
and spoke where it's like you've got your hubs the creators and then you've
71:01
got the people interacting with them the spokes don't interact with each other as
71:06
much the way that they would on something like Facebook where it's all
71:09
spokes pretty much and then hubs are just bigger spokes so to speak um and
71:16
this is an interesting quote those people don't need to be following your Facebook page either last I checked
71:20
someone can Google search how to build a computer and they can find our videos they don't have to be following us on
71:24
Facebook YouTube Twitter gole Plus or you
71:28
know this polls going extremely skewed I
71:32
know I know but it's still you know it's
71:36
always nice to hear from the twitch chat well yeah no it's true I just something
71:40
that I thought of outside of the fact that everyone's watching on Twitch right
71:43
now is that um the mobile versions are
71:48
going to be harder to vote on
71:51
yes oh for you guys I didn't think about
71:54
that so Android and iOS would probably be considerably higher so this is
72:00
interesting well no remember too though the question is where do you prefer to
72:05
watch videos not where do you do it necessarily yeah but if someone's
72:09
currently doing it there's a higher percentage likeliness that they're going to prefer doing it true that's very true
72:15
still overwhelming majority major majority overwhelming majority are
72:20
saying YouTube desktop and I think it would be that way anyways I just think
72:23
the numbers would be slightly different yeah because I mean we see from our
72:26
mobile viewership numbers that more of you are watching on mobile than
72:30
necessarily prefer to watch on mobile um
72:33
with a actually 7% of you saying vessel you know vessel implemented a really
72:38
cool feature recently where the video just gets small and plays at the top
72:42
when you scroll and read the comments as a Creator 95% of what I'm interested in
72:48
on the video playback page is comments comments yeah and so being a but being
72:52
able to kind of watch the video in the corner of my eye is like oh yeah that's kind of neat cuz a lot of the time the
72:56
editors throw in stuff that I don't think of especially fast as possible and
73:00
Channel Super Fun those are as much fun for me to watch as you guys I think
73:05
we've got some fun Channel super funs coming we actually filmed you weren't
73:09
here yesterday I haven't properly been in one in like a month and a half oh my
73:13
goodness okay so it's been a long time
73:17
the uh the golf one is pretty hilarious I had Jack from NC Tech tips film with
73:21
me and so we play golf on a pitch and Putt course with PL clubs and plastic
73:26
balls um and then the one we filmed yesterday is this game if you can even
73:30
call it a game it's just stupid um where
73:33
you hold four handles each person holds
73:36
a handle and then it plays spooky music and like a light changes color and you
73:42
have to press the button as fast as you can or you get an electric shock and
73:45
it's pretty similar to the dog cers okay so it's like it's not like hey you were
73:50
last it's like hey don't be last again yeah
73:55
poor Brandon that's all I have to
73:59
say and like the more times you get shocked it seems like the slower Brandon
74:03
gets probably that makes
74:06
sense
74:10
um what's up there's selfie pay for MasterCard I actually didn't read this
74:14
what the hell is this this is supposed by Jaws on the Forum I I'm going to let
74:18
you handle this cuz I actually didn't make it this far in my doc prep today I
74:22
was I was busy organizing all the videos that I need to do over the next couple
74:25
of months it turns out that if not a single new product were released nor a
74:29
single new idea generated by anyone who works at Linus Media Group we would have
74:33
enough content to make it through the next quarter or so yep oop um there's
74:38
there's there's uh some interesting counter points to this whole idea but
74:43
basically you get a Microsoft uh or Microsoft you get a Master Card app on
74:48
your phone and then for authorization of payment you take a selfie so uses facial
74:53
recognition now to get get around people using still photos they make you blink
74:59
once but that doesn't mean you couldn't just like hold the phone there no
75:03
because getting a video of someone blinking once hold on I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to
75:08
switch to full screen so you can see the look on my face better I think that's what a lot of
75:13
people did um a bunch of people are saying from
75:16
a privacy standpoint this is awful
75:19
because then MasterCard is just going to
75:22
have like endless amounts of videos of you looking at a camera and all of your
75:27
banking information but MasterCard is stating that they're only holding ones
75:31
and zeros not photos or fingerprints
75:34
which are made of ones and
75:41
zeros anyways it's super weird I don't
75:44
really know uh one thing that you guys might be enjoying right now is that HTML
75:48
5 chat is now live on Twitch I'm going to post this into the twitch chat um
75:53
okay I can my face actually started to stick there oh wow I'm super not
75:58
impressed with selfie pay no I don't
76:01
think many people care why does it take apple to revolutionize mobile payments
76:06
because everyone else is a complete idiot because people at MasterCard were
76:10
like the young people the young people like taking selfies let's make let's
76:15
make credit card selfies um anyways apparently it kicked
76:19
off on June 30th it's a actually a lot better than the previous flash base chat
76:23
thank freaking goodness that we're getting away from flash uh chat loads
76:27
apparently four times faster chat uses fewer CPU resources and you don't need
76:32
to do anything to upgrade as long as you're using a websocket capable browser
76:36
let's um let's do a thing let's reload
76:40
this page and see if the chat slows it
76:48
down it worked we benchmarked it wow
76:55
oh geez luckily most benchmarks online is
76:59
Tech tips are better than
77:02
that actually have some amount of comparative
77:07
data actually have an ounce of thought put into them I'm going to F5 and see
77:12
what happens woooo okay anyways that's super cool I'm
77:18
very happy about that personally what else do we have to say oh iPhone 6s
77:21
leaks right uh original article here is from 9 5 Mac so the chassis has been
77:29
revealed uh this is really unexpected to
77:32
people who have never seen an Apple product release cycle before um but the
77:37
iPhone 6s will look nearly identical outside but will feature numerous
77:41
changes inside right when the iPhone 7 comes out we should release a chassis
77:46
leak of the iPhone iPhone 7S we should
77:50
we'd be first yes that would be awesome so
77:54
according to the the leak basically nothing is going to change about the
77:57
outside in fact even less than usual like in the past we've seen things like
78:01
an antenna line here or a logo there or
78:04
whatever else like little tiny changes uh this time it looks like pretty much
78:08
nothing in spite of Apple's patent filing for a way to anodise their uh
78:14
their antenna lines which personally I don't even mind the antenna line I don't
78:19
think it's that big of a deal I mean we're not talking like panty lines here it's just an antenna line everybody's
78:24
got to have antennas and we all know that no one should be wearing panties so
78:28
that's why it's much less offensive no you just like people going commando oh
78:31
yeah I'm all about the commander are you Commander right now um no but I'm
78:36
wearing skin tight panties so you don't see the lines what color are they
78:40
they're black because I is that like a glossy black or a matte black remember
78:45
Black Panties are only for when you expect and or want someone to see
78:49
them is this from me I think it's from are you there God it's me Margaret
78:55
which is a book it might not be from that book enjoy that might not be a book
78:59
at all in Seattle I got to see The Princess Bride props no way physical
79:04
props shut up what uh the swords shut up
79:08
um the one of the main dresses the the
79:12
uh the As You Wish suit thing no way in
79:17
person sick I even know they that also
79:20
Star Wars stuff is it touring or is it like a museum or something like can I go
79:24
yeah yes oh my good oh wow also Star Wars wait I think I'm I'm going to
79:29
Seattle shortly go to the uh EMP EMP
79:34
museum EMP museum yeah definitely like right beside the Space Needle um there's
79:39
Star Wars they have all the new stuff they also have a bunch of old stuff there's two main like themed rooms going
79:44
on can I skip the new stuff yeah can I
79:47
never look at it I I can tell you how to avoid the new stuff because I went to
79:51
the new stuff and was like I don't want to see any of this and then eventually found the old stuff and was like awesome
79:56
and then left and went to the other areas but there's a fantasy area where
79:59
they have um Princess Bride and they have Lord of the Rings and stuff in
80:03
there as well then there's a Sci-Fi area that has like Star Wars stuff and Star
80:07
Trek stuff and then there's a dedicated Star Wars area oh I have to go down
80:10
there for that I'm actually I'm going down for uh Chris perillo's vlogger fair
80:14
thing oh cool yeah uh I'm only going down for like one day cuz I think
80:18
there's like an industry day or something like that and I'm like yeah I
80:22
don't really care um so if like if people want go check it out uh vlogger
80:26
fair I have a discount code or something so you can get 15% off your admission um
80:31
I I don't I don't really I don't I don't know I I don't know how much admission
80:35
costs or anything like I'm I'm not I don't get paid or anything I'm just going down to kind of hang out and uh I
80:40
couldn't make it last year and I had told Chris that I really wanted to make
80:43
it so I can make it this year so if I didn't make it this year then I'd
80:46
basically be just being a gigantic douche canoe so wow I didn't want to do
80:50
that um yeah go to that thing there's also like it's supposed to be a music
80:53
place the majority of the stuff in there is actually props oh I give zero craps
80:57
about that so yeah yeah there's like Nirvana
81:03
and exactly no he's a big deal he he used to
81:07
put acid in his headband Jimmy Hendrick yes there's jimmi Hendricks and Nirvana
81:11
for music exhibits and then there's just like actually cool things at the props
81:15
like I I I like I like the music stuff but like there's I don't know it was
81:20
much less interesting than the props which I felt was weird considering it's
81:24
a music museum right anyways so the uh
81:28
iPhone 6s will allegedly feature a
81:31
pressure sensitive display so that's that new Force touch thing that we've
81:36
seen on um the MacBook 2015 where I
81:39
really liked it and the Apple watch where I think it's a gigantic steaming
81:43
hunk of completely unnecessary nonsense so uh whether they do a better job in
81:48
the iPhone 6s remains to be seen there was rumors that there would be a dual
81:52
element camera or something like that it looks like that will not be the case um
81:56
space gray will remain light in contrast with the space gray Apple watch which is
82:01
darker it's amazing the kinds of things that Apple people care about uh same
82:06
connectors um are is rumored so we might
82:10
still be looking at a lightning connector as opposed to a USB type-c
82:14
connector but this is a leak none of it
82:18
could be real so yeah head to 9o5 Mac if
82:21
you're interested in learning more about it otherwise um I guess we could move on
82:26
to not Apple things whoa there's been a bunch of Reddit drama like super duper
82:32
Reddit drama um basically like the the
82:37
The Exodus seems to be kind of starting between the finally cuz they freaked out
82:42
last time and then we're like I guess we'll just keep using Reddit you know
82:45
what one funky town thing though yeah everyone is talking about leaving Reddit
82:49
on Reddit like I guarantee you Reddit has a
82:53
huge traffic Spike right now yeah I was
82:57
talking to someone about this earlier today and it's just like
83:00
guys man like the AMA request for whatever the heck her name is the chick
83:05
that's running Reddit now um is like one of the most upvoted things like
83:11
ever just if you want to protest just actually leave basically Ahmad was
83:17
unexpectedly let go from her position with Reddit um some mods were not
83:22
notified the admins didn't realiz how important she was something something
83:28
was made public again later as far as I know no one knows specifically how or
83:32
why she got fired y there's already been job offers for her mods have been
83:37
increasingly upset over the admins not keeping them or the users in the loop as
83:41
much as they believe they should they H to get a better relationship with it was
83:45
an admin yeah sorry excuse me it was an admin who who did a lot for the AMA yeah
83:51
so there you go some subreddits shut down so would comment on them um notably
83:57
r/f funny books Science music gaming history art jokes documentaries today I
84:03
learned so like some like reddits that even I've heard of as not a redditor and
84:07
like that I've browsed as not particularly a redditor so uh there you
84:13
go the rebels are the rebels are rising
84:16
or rousing Rebel R hopefully they remember for more than like 4 days it's
84:21
Reddit so I don't know I don't even remember remember what the last thing
84:25
was I think they like closed down some subreddits or something and like Reddit
84:29
exploded for like 24 hours and then no
84:34
one gave a crap okay I mean it's not like I don't
84:39
think it's specific to Reddit I think it's just any mainstream site a very
84:43
mainstream site is going to have your very mainstream user who is not the
84:47
emotionally invested user so as like
84:50
once something reaches that critical mass um it
84:55
takes it has a lot of momentum I mean that's what critical mass means um so
85:02
once you reach that critical mass you gain a lot of momentum and even if you lose some really important like Keystone
85:08
pieces of a community it can keep a lot of momentum for a long time you could
85:12
potentially have a huge amount of mass without momentum yes if you weren't
85:17
moving thank you but that's not what
85:20
people mean when they say reaching critical mass so I think you understood
85:23
me fully and are just being a jackass and on that note thank you for
