I think we're live welcome to the W show I um have my guest co-host here telling
0:06
me that he thinks this is probably the least prepared that the WAN Show has
0:11
ever been to which I replied um that was
0:15
like 40 seconds ago I actually don't remember what I said but the point is
0:19
he's wrong there have probably been less prepared ones uh LC is going to be back
0:24
next week he is on vacation in Taiwan
0:27
which must be super duper nice for him I wish I was on vacation not in Taiwan in
0:31
particular it's very hot there but uh
0:34
actually you know Vancouver is a good place to be this time of year okay I don't I wish I was on vacation at my
0:38
house that would be perfect it's good weather these days yeah I wish I didn't
0:42
have to be at work today but I do have to be at work today just for you guys so
0:47
we've got a bunch of great topics today the first unboxing of the R9 390x leaked
0:54
uh Sony announced their A7 R2 I'm going
0:57
to refrain from calling it The Mark 2 like all the people in our office here
1:01
son doesn't call it Mark 2 that's Canon they're the only ones that do that also
1:05
anyone else who calls something the whatever Mark I it's fairly common so
1:09
don't worry too much about that WWDC happened this week and apple
1:14
announced actually not a not a lot
1:17
compared to you know last year when they
1:20
actually had like Hardware to show off uh no this time it is all about software
1:26
changes but some of them are pretty important so we'll talk about that and
1:29
OCC did a keynote as well the launch time
1:33
frame is now confirmed hopefully it's kind of
1:37
confirmed it was very vague still yeah okay so the launch time frame is
1:43
confirmed and they showed off a new controller so uh uh you know I'll
1:48
introduce our special guest after the intro
2:00
uh no us they can hear
2:09
us like who is that
2:13
guy oh sorry I forgot Squarespace today
2:18
also linda.com and
2:22
freshbooks fresh you know what I'm going to do I am going to proactively move the
2:27
right part of the scene to why have I never done that before I don't know so
2:32
when I roll it again for the outro it'll play it might I forgot to do my hair
2:36
today also this color doesn't translate to the camera very well it's just like
2:41
straight up either the monitor can't display it or the camera cannot capture
2:44
it it's very it's much brighter in person much much brighter it's an
2:48
eyesore in person that's what I'm going for all right so I've got people asking
2:52
who is that in Luke's Place don't worry he has not taken Luke's Place although
2:56
there is a funny story about this guy and Luke's Place this is is the the
3:00
artist formerly known as wheels from NC
3:03
Tech tips is no longer with them and you know how he came to be involved in the
3:08
NC Tech tips team was actually he was
3:12
the okay I'm trying to think of a way to say this without it being rude uh he was
3:16
my second choice back when I hired Luke uh they
3:21
were the two that I actually had it narrowed down to and it ended up being
3:25
Luke who got the job and because I only had room for one benchmarking monkey at
3:29
the time and it wasn't until years later when he got far too expensive that I
3:34
actually had a place for another one that Chris became available so um what
3:39
do you do now exactly I do uh chemical marketing I basically it's a lot of
3:44
paper pushing right now it sounds like the most boring thing ever well
3:48
eventually it's going to be digital paper pushing and then wow I know you're
3:53
like bringing it into the 21st century I know we're just going to get 365
4:00
Office 365 nice we're just building our
4:03
servers now and everything all right so guys we got a great show for you this
4:07
week I did cover some of the topics uh that's pretty much all I have so uh we
4:11
might do some Twitter blitzes and stuff like that I've got a lot of people in
4:15
twitch chat asking when is the next scrapyard Wars coming so they are
4:18
scheduled so we actually have a plan every Saturday night hour time at
4:23
midnight so technically Sunday morning a new part of scrapyard Wars 2 will be
4:28
released so it'll be one week ahead on vessel and then it'll be whatever people
4:33
on vessel saw last week on YouTube until we're done we are committed to the
4:38
weekly Cadence so we're not going to do that thing with multi-part stuff anymore
4:42
where we actually don't have most of it filmed until we start releasing it and
4:47
then we get busy with other things and then it's a month between Parts no we're
4:51
not doing that anymore the new policy at Linus Media Group is we film the
4:56
entire thing and then at least it's only
4:59
editing that has to be done as we go and
5:02
I've got a lot of people that are concerned about you know multi-part
5:06
stuff but the reality of it is I've talked about it on the show before it is
5:10
what it is it takes one of my guys a week to edit it we maintain all the
5:14
other nine videos per week that we do on
5:18
Linus Tech tips Channel Super Fun and on
5:21
Techquickie and so the rest of my staff has to work on that so I can only tie up
5:25
one guy as a dedicated editor for scrapyard Wars so why don't we jum into
5:30
our first topic here have you seen this unboxing I have I did see this earlier
5:35
today it's been pulled down really y so the unboxing is gone and then when I saw
5:40
in the lonus tech tips thread that the 390x unboxing was gone I actually went
5:47
over to double check CU you can't believe anything you read on the internet so I went over on the um on
5:53
YouTube to check and the video was gone
5:57
and there was a video that had been posted like 10 minutes
6:01
prior okay that had also been pulled
6:05
down oh but you can read the first snippet of the description so I'm going
6:09
to I'm going to find that for you so all we know about the 390x from these
6:14
unboxings hold on so we can still see them in the search results I'm going to
6:18
screen share with you guys here we go is
6:22
uh here r9390x unboxing is it is it
6:26
pulled already oh it looks gone where is
6:30
where did his video go red gaming Tech
6:33
no it wasn't it was like super unprofessional like just like some dude
6:37
he he looked like he didn't sound like he knew like he wasn't up on everything
6:42
he was wondering where the missing Crossfire fingers were right and then he
6:45
was which if he know a 290x those don't
6:49
exist on that GPU anymore the Hawaii
6:52
yeah so and then he was calling the back plate a heat SN which it technically is
6:57
a heat sink by the way so people were hating on him pretty hard for that and I
7:01
was like come on you guys are just you guys are just being jerks about it but
7:05
you know what I can't even find it I can't even find it in the search results
7:09
anymore why don't I take out R9 maybe just 390x unboxing is going to bring
7:14
this puppy up for prob G it probably just took a while for it to propagate
7:18
through all the servers including search look at that but I did see it and it was y yely
7:24
okay so basically what the card looks like and I don't actually have any specs
7:30
or information for the 390x so I guess I can speculate what it looks like is an
7:35
R9 290x with 8 gigs of RAM which is one
7:40
of the prevailing rumors about the R9
7:43
390x much to the disappointment I think
7:47
of everyone while it's mostly the AMD
7:50
fans that I see posting that they're really upset that we could be looking at
7:54
round two of Rebrand the thing um the
7:58
NVIDIA fans should be equally upset because even though AMD's market share
8:03
in discreet Graphics is what like 30% I think less than 30% right now L than
8:07
yeah when they do something when AMD makes a move or even threatens to make a
8:11
move Look boom we got seven excuse me we got 980 TI because NVIDIA wants to like
8:17
proactively stomp on whatever AMD is trying to do on the radon side that is
8:22
how we get NVIDIA to not be asleep at the wheel and concerned about putting
8:27
tegas into cars if AMD does stuff we will get better
8:32
graphics cards and better pricing from NVIDIA so we should we should all be
8:35
happy if 390x is is freaking awesome but
8:38
it doesn't really look that way the prevailing rumor now is that Fiji XT and
8:43
Fiji which will be possibly available in water and air cooled versions and like a
8:48
little tiny card with a radiator there's lots of lots of pictures leaking all the
8:51
time are going to be the only allnew
8:57
gpus maybe maybe maybe the rumor is they
9:01
have enhanced the 29x they the Hawaii is
9:05
now an enhanced version but we don't
9:08
know what enhanced means could just mean a higher claw could mean there was one
9:13
article with very little credibility that R9 290x was not a fully featured
9:20
Hawaii chip in the first place really I don't know if I buy that because I can't
9:26
imagine a world where AMD thought that
9:29
that power hungry of a chip was GNA have
9:33
more functional units enabled on it that'd be really hot
9:37
so yeah I'm I'm really not sure I mean we we I don't think we ever got die
9:43
shots from them so it's it's it's possible it's theoretically possible um
9:47
the same thing looks like it did happen with Tonga where we got a 256bit card
9:54
and then oh all of a sudden oh hold on
9:57
maybe it's 384 bit Which Scott Watson from Tech report has been saying since
10:00
it launched so it looks like some of the
10:04
rebranding might actually be unlocking
10:07
or a slight retooling but uh Fiji and
10:11
Fiji XT which are not going to be cheap in all likelihood are probably going to
10:15
be the the only ones that are actually
10:18
new uh one cool thing that did come from the 390x unboxing is that pricing was
10:24
effectively revealed yes um I can't remember there was a Best Buy listing
10:28
too I I think wasn't there stock at Best Buy yep yep there
10:33
was a there was a Best Buy uh leak yesterday I believe Source uh Source
10:39
here is Reddit I'm just going to hold on I got to sign out of the Forum so that
10:43
I'm not uh doing
10:47
that R9
10:50
39x oh please work you searchbox
10:55
you um there we go all right I'll screen share with you guys here
11:00
r9390x unboxing
11:03
r9390x uh Best Buy there we go in stock at Best Buy so
11:09
it's XFX is all over all of these leaks
11:13
um this image is visible when you're when you're logged in haha anyway it's
11:18
an XFX card and pricing is I believe uh
11:21
shoot I want to say is it $3.99 or is it
11:24
450 can't remember for the right now the Reddit thread say y okay so the Reddit
11:29
says 450 I believe that was what the gentleman who posted the unboxing video
11:34
had also said that he paid so that is a
11:37
little bit scary especially when we consider that the r9290 and the R9 290x
11:43
and this is something I think a lot of people have forgotten perform pretty
11:46
damn well near the same because R9 or R9
11:50
290x used to be priced so much higher
11:54
that r9290 was the one that everyone was buying and then R9 290x got a lot more
11:59
reasonable in price thanks to the fact that it basically performed the same and
12:03
you can pick up R9 290 x's on New Egg
12:07
for uh 360 bucks or as low as oh is that
12:12
$299.99 that's a good value that's with a mail and rebate however so $30 of that
12:16
discount is an Mir but still if you're going to tell me that for another two
12:21
excuse me another four gigs of RAM for eight gigs of RAM I'm going to be paying
12:25
another $150 you better have something else
12:28
under the hood not only that but if you actually the
12:31
listing under this that 360 bucks for an 8 gig r928 uh 290x oh yeah that's 8 gigs
12:37
already it wouldn't be the first time this happened I mean back when uh r92
12:42
adx launched 7970 GHz Edition was a lot
12:46
cheaper and 7950 back when we first started lonus Media Group 7950 were the
12:52
card to buy and that continued well into the 280 and 280X life cycle because
12:59
they were just cheaper because they had an older model name so if you were Savvy
13:03
you were getting exactly the same card in that case yep and AMD even allows you
13:08
to Crossfire them so I'll be that's right show the same I mean is that the
13:11
ultimate admission of we didn't change anything if people are allowed to Crossfire 390x and three and 290 XS that
13:18
being said AMD has always been more flexible about allowing you to Crossfire
13:22
that's true different things where NVIDIA is just like it has to be exactly
13:25
the same nothing but exactly the same I find that really frustrating I mean they
13:30
they did ease up on it a little bit different clock speeds and different
13:33
vendors you can mismatch those yes um
13:37
but they used to allow mismatched memory amounts and they stopped actually in
13:43
fact there was uh I found some ancient guide when I was looking into it again
13:47
that referenced the cool bits tweak which used to be awesome cool bits was
13:52
freaking amazing until it completely disappeared off the face of the planet
13:56
um and and anyway so you could somehow blah blah blah mix and match uh video
14:01
memory and I believe that was on the NVIDIA site I sent them a memo about it
14:04
I was like Yo cool bits is so not a thing anymore and also you can't do that
14:09
anymore and I don't think it was ever even super official but no yeah now I me
14:14
there is no reason that you shouldn't have been able to SLI a GTX 680 and a
14:18
GTX 770 well even more recently Ed tried to SLI a 770s but they had different
14:24
memory and he's like yep nope nope tried
14:27
everything not work yep will not work they do not they do not allow it so
14:32
let's move on to our next topic here this was oh oh so that unboxing was
14:35
posted by inor in imor in IM
14:40
Igor maybe it's Ln Igor like liquid nitrogen I don't know what I don't know
14:44
what he's going for there the next one is Shan Angelo is the original poster
14:49
here and the original article is from n
14:52
gadet let's go ahead and pop that baby up on the screen this is looking like
14:58
one freak freaking heck of a camera if you are into that sort of thing this is
15:04
the A7 R2 Sony's fullframe mirrorless
15:09
DSLR sort ofish camera I mean yes it is
15:13
an SLR it's like it's a 42.4 megapixel
15:16
still camera like just absolutely
15:20
whooping the butt of its predecessor at
15:23
36.4 megapixels and even more
15:27
impressively this one shoots 4K video now so it looks like it's going up
15:31
straight against something like the Panasonic GH4 I'll be it at a higher
15:34
price but Sony is it's the one thing we
15:38
can really say this about Sony is the
15:42
Imaging sensor Master right now yep Sony
15:47
is at the top of their game and I think that and uh and what is it like um Sony
15:53
Financial I have no idea yeah I think those are that was that was it for
15:58
profit man and there might have been something
16:02
else and I apologize to any of the Sony fans who I missed something that
16:05
something else that Sony does well but um I mean we're fans of Sony I mean you
16:09
you use Sony for the fs y uh Tech tips uses ncx Tech tips uses the vg900 which
16:15
is the fullframe camcorder yep and uh
16:19
yeah so okay so it has the world's first
16:23
back illuminated sensor giving it a sensitivity of up to 102,000
16:29
400 ISO now sounds insane to be clear
16:33
that's it's not usable like you can't use that but that is still it like it
16:40
works you can turn it up that high you can get an image there's actually uh
16:45
shoot what was that previous uh Sony
16:49
seas in the Dark YouTube wasn't it the a7s that can see basically in a dark
16:54
room uh yeah I believe so so yeah yeah
16:57
hold on I had looked at a video uh earlier today and it was it just blew my
17:03
mind yeah here it is Sony a7s uh low
17:06
light test in complete darkness oh sorry
17:11
sorry sorry pick optic for more speed
17:15
with blazing fast internet this video is pretty Inc so
17:20
6400 ISO 12,800 ISO now even the fs700
17:24
the one we have I think goes up to 32,000 or something like that but this
17:28
is a whole other level so this is 50,000
17:32
I so a7s is bananas this room has no
17:35
lights on so they they Crank It Up even further
17:40
I think to yeah there it is I mean it gets grainy yeah I mean that's the
17:44
that's what happens when you crank up there it is that's 400,000 ISO and you
17:47
can see if I zoom in um that is some
17:51
super super duper grainy footage but the
17:55
fact that it can see anything is pretty darn impressive yeah uh what else do we
18:01
have to say about
18:04
this ount camera that's okay because um
18:08
you know hopefully we will get an adapter from our friends over Aton yeah
18:14
metabones thank you we'll get a speed booster can you imagine this thing with
18:17
a speed booster that's pretty impressive I must say it's going to be ridiculous
18:22
um five access image stabilization is another thing now it's not cheap um they
18:27
are targeting $3,200 so for people who are kind of
18:31
like GH4 A7 R2 wow $1,200 is an awful lot of
18:39
money not to mention that Panasonic has that new uh there's that newer cheaper
18:44
4K like Panasonic G7 I believe they have
18:47
a launch event in Vancouver in not that
18:50
long from now that one's only $1,000 also does 4K video recording but
18:57
unlike the GH4 does not have uh the most
19:00
modern sensor right so you know take
19:04
that for what it is I haven't seen any results from that one yet so hopefully
19:09
we'll learn a little bit more about that soon I'm sure the Vimeo crowd will upload all sorts of videos from it the
19:14
Vimeo crowd is is is pretty good about that aren't they y all right next topic
19:19
here guys posted by Sam Needham on the Forum I can't believe people were giving
19:23
poor Sam crap over this the first reply to the post which Sam entitled
19:29
Apple WWDC 2015 official thread was like
19:33
something along the lines of who died and made you the king of making an official thread for
19:38
wwc come on it's a nice thing to do Sam did a
19:43
great job of posting he curated it it
19:46
was nice it was good he did what to expect bunch of Stu OS 10
19:51
10.11 iOS 9 new streaming music service
19:54
which is all pretty much bang on uh there were a couple things that were
19:58
Miss missing particularly Apple watch things that we missing in the what to
20:02
expect but I think we still got to give Sam credit here he did a good job he did
20:07
a good job um so here's a bunch of pictures from the keynote but I've got
20:11
uh I I'll try and cover what I thought was the most interesting stuff they went
20:16
with os10 L capan I thought that was really weird I like it's a mountain
20:21
inside y so is this a sub
20:27
version they didn't change much so maybe
20:30
true maybe maybe that's what the the reason he was but it also sounds
20:35
ridiculous it's like what OS are you running El
20:39
Capitan yeah it doesn't sound very Apple
20:42
likee no it's you know lion cheetah you
20:46
can get behind those even even yose was kind of like okay well that's you know
20:50
the the first thing I thought of and and maybe this is just cuz I'm you know an
20:55
idiot but I went y Sam yep I kind of
20:59
went okay like if they'd gone with Everest I don't know
21:04
Kilimanjaro or something some of the some of the more famous natural
21:08
landmarks I think would have been more appropriate yeah anyway all right so
21:12
what have we got here and I know not all of you guys are necessarily the hugest
21:16
fans of Apple but I'm going to talk about what they did in the context of
21:21
why it's important for us even if we aren't particularly fans of Apple um I
21:26
so we'll start with uh actually you know what I told toally forgot to put you I'm
21:29
going to start with iOS 9 because uh there's something I forgot to put in my
21:33
notes and I remember just now so uh Force touch is coming to iOS 9 which
21:37
presumably means that an upcoming iPhone will also support Force touch force
21:41
touch is really cool I really hope that
21:46
either Apple's patent web around Force
21:49
touch is not strong enough or everyone will just blatantly copy them anyway
21:53
because I would love to see Force touch on more devices as soon as possible it's
21:58
really cool it's like really good haptic feedback like done properly yeah and and
22:05
it the funny thing about it was I actually got confused when I was working
22:10
on my review of the MacBook 2015 because
22:13
I was like I thought they said the touchpad doesn't move I thought I got to
22:17
use it like last weekend for the first time and people are all saying like oh
22:20
it's it's like as if you're using a touchpad that clicks I'm like how could
22:25
it be like really you're you're going to fool my fingers with vibrations
22:29
I was like I was doubtful but it works it really does work and even though I it
22:34
didn't work in Windows I forced myself to use OS 10 for a little bit of my time
22:38
with the device being able to have that second layer of functionality fixes the
22:44
lack of right click for me like if I could go press for left click press hard
22:49
for right click all of a sudden I never need to take my finger off the trackpad
22:54
anymore how cool is that I don't have to
22:57
worry about these these buttons that I always want and I want to be nice and
23:02
nice and you know tactile so that I can twoand it don't need that anymore very
23:07
very cool and if it also you know makes it thinner and gives you extra room for
23:11
these thin and lights to give more space for whatever else always better I mean
23:15
not that Apple necessarily crams anything that useful in them you razor
23:19
managed to that that's the thing people say like I see a lot of comparisons
23:23
between the blade and the MacBook Pro and I kind of go there is no comparison
23:27
razor managed to cram a GTX 970m in here
23:31
what did Apple do yep I mean I guess they put a bigger battery in okay that
23:35
has value to some people all right so let's talk other iOS stuff here um this
23:39
is really cool how did this take so long when someone calls you from an unknown
23:43
number it checks your like emails and and crap and tries to find it in an
23:48
email signature or something and is like hey this might be this
23:52
person yep that's awesome that's that's
23:56
smart that's freaking awesome I hope someone someone else copies it because I
24:00
don't always add people to my contacts like pretty much never unless I'm like
24:04
sure that this person is going to be contacting me for a while cuz it's it
24:07
takes extra time and effort and if it just can be like hey this is probably
24:11
Jane that called you about that thing you asked about you know that's way
24:15
better freaking awesome um Safari pinned
24:19
sites I can't believe they even showed this off I can't believe this was even a
24:23
highlight feature oh no sorry I'm back on out sorry I'm no I'm doing iOS first
24:27
sorry sorry sorry What's happen improved improved search with suggested people
24:32
apps nearby locations and news really cool they've also added an API for
24:37
search that's the big one obviously it's the developer conference the reason
24:41
that's important is now all of a sudden app developers can allow search to
24:45
search their app and they can actually deep link within their app so if I have
24:50
let's say um an app that I transcode videos from a server and then can load
24:55
them onto my device I could search for that and I could deep link and Play that
25:00
video directly and when I press back it'll go back to my search results Ah
25:05
that's pretty freaking cool yeah um they've added some proactive features
25:09
well that was a word they really wanted to use a lot here uh so for example when
25:13
you plug in a headphone jack a little music icon shows up in the bottom left
25:17
you know you can swipe up from the bottom right for the camera well now you can swipe get out of
25:22
here who's moving in the background that's burkel and I saw him with a
25:27
rubber band hand gun I think they have ruined their element of surprise and I
25:33
have I have a half empty container of orange juice that I'm going to throw at
25:37
you if you come in during the show yeah that's right it's been on
25:42
Nick's desk for God knows how long so it's probably rotten orange juice be
25:48
prepared um okay where are we going
25:51
right so that's not really that's not groundbreaking I mean Yahoo's aviate
25:55
launcher has been a lot more contextually aware than that for a long
25:59
time yes um but that's that's cool the
26:03
one thing they showed off that impressed me a little bit more was he's like oh
26:07
well I usually meditate in the morning so now there's a meditation app there
26:11
and obviously I don't give two craps about that but if it knows because the
26:15
first thing I do when I roll over in my bed in the morning is I check my email
26:18
like what do you do yep I check my email first thing so if I don't even have to
26:23
in my blur eyed State figure out like where my email app is which I'm not an
26:27
idiot I can find my email app I know if I can just do it with one touch hey
26:32
great little things like that make the device more natural to use yep um Apple
26:37
pay just got support from Square which is really cool that interesting
26:41
partnership yeah that should really Drive adoption for the the little guys
26:46
who can barely accept credit card at all and now can take Apple pay yep but the
26:51
bigger one for me actually is the Loyalty program integration so being
26:56
able to store all of your loyalty cards and Apple pay means I mean how many okay
26:59
here let's do it you got your wallet yep
27:04
okay and I'm going to straw pull you guys I want you guys to tell me tell me
27:08
tell me about this straw pole
27:12
okay how many loyalty SL rewards cards
27:17
are in your wallet or purse right now so
27:21
let's go with zero uh let's go with sort
27:24
of one to three I'd say as a light user uh four to eight would be actually no
27:30
let's go 1 to two is a light user and then let's say 3 to five is a medium
27:33
user and then 6 Plus is a heavy user and
27:38
I want I want to hear from you guys all right I'm going to post this in
27:42
the chat give me just a second here guys oh where's my chat link I don't have
27:47
Luke to help me you're not as good as Luke that's why I didn't hire you oh
27:51
well that's that's a cheap that's a cheap shot it's a cheap shot okay so I'm
27:56
going to throw the I'm sorry I really am a terrible person
28:01
um there's no excuse all right so hold on let me let me okay you you really no
28:07
way that's how many I've got so it's it's a stack what is all this crap do
28:11
you mind yeah here let me insult you and then dig through your some of them are
28:15
gift cards to be fa so Timmy H but still
28:18
yep Timmy H um the glow ball connection
28:22
gift card yep Home Depot okay Air Miles
28:26
and bigger smiles Scene Card these are
28:29
cool these are handy Scene Card so movie movie rewards Costco okay Great West
28:36
Life okay I don't think that counts okay that's fair uh BCAA okay you don't have
28:41
to pay for that but if you could I mean if Apple pay could be expanded to
28:45
include hey any card I can get out of my wallet really cabs yep huh and this is
28:52
like uh like it's a corporate like like
28:56
membership card and then uh Bubblicious Tea House VIP card yeah that counts you
29:02
know I actually have a membership card for like a party supplies store oh yeah
29:06
cuz we get props and crap there um I don't think I have that in my wallet I
29:10
think I have that one in my car but I'm going to count it if they can make it
29:13
easy enough for little guys to implement it I mean they don't have to print cards
29:16
they don't have to worry about all that stuff if they can just get apple that they this is still hypothetical but like
29:21
um Recreation Center membership cards I don't see any reason why you couldn't
29:26
use something like an apple e wallet type thing for that I also have a BCAA
29:30
membership but I'm a pretty light user most of mine are debit and credit cards
29:35
um so I want to but I want to I want to hear from the viewers like how many of
29:39
you guys would see a significant Improvement wow wow 35% of you have zero
29:44
loyalty or rewards cards mind you I guess I technically don't have any
29:48
either I don't have any loyalty or rewards cards in my wallet I do keep a
29:52
couple in my car though and another 29%
29:56
of you are one to two so that's 50
30:00
excuse me 65% of you have between zero
30:03
and two Loyalty Rewards cards you guys are really the wrong audience for this
30:08
particular Apple pay feature I mean 16% of you have a turnup in your wallet
30:12
apparently that's a thick wallet yeah that takes the George castanza wallet to
30:17
a whole new level yeah interesting well
30:21
I thought that was a big deal so apparently I was wrong maps maps now
30:24
supports Transit which is like Google
30:28
feature from a long time ago from like a bazillion years ago okay it is cool that
30:32
they've actually mapped out the subway stations and then accounted for not like
30:37
arriving there but also arriving there and like traversing through it to the
30:41
correct platform that's fair that's very cool um but I think they're only
30:47
supporting something like I think it was I want to say 12 or
30:52
16 like major Global around the so like
30:56
there's one city in Canada and we can all guess which one that is not here not
31:02
Vancouver so uh yeah and then there's like I think London New York there's
31:08
like there's a couple cities and then surprisingly a bunch of places in China
31:12
and they skip they went through that slide like really fast they were like
31:16
Global roll out it's like a handful of cities plus I think it was it was like
31:20
30 or 300 or something cities in China yeah I was a shocking amount really
31:26
aggressive aggressive L pushing this feature in China where I guess public
31:30
transit is maybe not more of a thing but maybe
31:35
more maybe more confusing or maybe less routine well I don't have any numbers
31:40
solid numbers but everyone I know that is a relative that lives in China has an
31:44
iPhone like everybody like I asked them
31:47
they you have Android they're just like what I
31:52
iPhone there you go e um the app okay
31:55
app switcher and multitasking finally coming and it's really funny because we
32:00
can look at something like okay Samsung has had like multi- window view stuff
32:06
for for a while two years now I mean it hasn't always been great but they've had
32:10
it no it's always sucked that's the problem so Samsung has had two years to
32:16
iterate on this stuff and
32:19
then we've apparently got line of tech tips viewers rolling by on their on
32:23
their bikes um so Samsung's had a couple years to iterate on this and comes out
32:28
the gate and has an implementation that just looks way better like just way
32:32
better have you seen the videos I have not yet okay bunch of functionality so
32:36
you swipe in from the side you can bring in a thing and then you do another thing
32:40
I think you click it or double click it or something can't remember um but it it
32:43
looked really intuitive to use and then that brings up a bunch of other compatible side view apps that you can
32:48
scroll through then all you do is you touch the divider and you can move it
32:51
over to make it not just like like Microsoft's done this Samsung's done
32:56
this this this is this stuff that's been done but it's done really well here
33:01
Microsoft's implementation on Windows RT when it first launched was not very good
33:06
on the surface um this looks really
33:10
really good and the apps can run side by side they're fully interactive they
33:13
showed off the demo where they're actually touching both apps at the same time not that I can think of too many
33:18
situations where that would come in handy uh much like the keyboard we
33:21
reviewed this week that supports 256 key
33:25
presses simultaneously all of them so
33:29
you could actually have like in an alternate universe another one of the
33:34
same keyboard and you could press all the buttons on that too and the
33:37
processor wouldn't B down okay steel series you did good um
33:44
they finally and this is more of a finally for Apple they finally
33:47
dramatically improved cursor and highlighting finally and copy paste
33:53
functionality is now built into the quick type keyboard and this is
33:56
something that I believe Sony and LG
34:00
have both done reasonably well in the past but picture and picture uh video
34:04
watching while you're doing other things oh I like that a lot freaking awesome
34:09
really glad to see it uh the integration looks really good so now with search you
34:14
can search it'll search for YouTube videos or even videos within your apps
34:18
once they uh once they use the search API to make themselves searchable you
34:22
can be like Play you can move it around this is a cool feature and this is
34:26
something that surprisingly uh surprisingly sort of out of the box
34:30
actually is you can drag the video so just a sliver of it is showing you
34:33
actually put most of it off screen and
34:36
like I'm like oh yeah that's a really good idea yep you would never want to do
34:41
that on a desktop because why you have so much screen real estate but on a
34:45
tablet I could actually see that being very useful if you just want to listen
34:49
for a bit very cool yep I want it on
34:53
Android like like just like that yeah
34:56
and the good news is it'll probably happen eventually yep let's talk os10 l
35:02
capy 10 uh this is cool new gestures uh
35:06
okay okay this is this is one of those ones where I'm kind of going you really
35:11
are catering to kind of a like I don't
35:15
want to say a a simpler audience but they've got a new gesture
35:21
where when you get to your computer you kind of move your mouse around to see where it is it gets huge for a second so
35:27
you can find it oh I suspect that that feature will
35:33
mostly only be useful to the people who need jumbo Mouse cursors in the first
35:37
place but well to be fair I run four
35:41
monitors and sometimes I'm like which
35:44
one is it on cuz I've got a 1440p and
35:47
then like three 1080s as an optional feature to enable all right all right
35:52
all right I'll I'll give you this apple some people will use it they've also got
35:55
touchpad gestures now for marking emails on red or deleting them something that
35:59
we've had on Android forever go go
36:02
figure way to go Samsung you were you were light years ahead of the game on
36:06
this particular one yep um Safari pinned
36:10
sights how is this a feature this is laughable the fact that you can have
36:14
pinned sites in Safari I mean like here
36:17
here's my Chrome they're like yeah so
36:20
like your PIN sites so the pin sites actually stack up next to your tabs in
36:25
Safari which I guess is efficient CU you don't actually have to use up two
36:29
separate rows for them so you just take them and you kind of go okay now it's a
36:34
now it's pinned and I'm kind of sitting here going okay but I could
36:38
just oh actually technically apparently I cannot do that okay well I thought you
36:42
could do whatever I don't have difficulty creating pinning things
36:45
anyway there pin right click pin this is why right click is good that's just as
36:49
fast um so
36:53
I yeah I I I really don't see how this is a feature they're like yeah
36:58
so you can like you can like open it check this out you can like open it
37:03
and then your like pin thing is still there and I'm like yeah Okay so we've
37:09
had that so again the the functionality that the many button Mouse affords us
37:15
middle click on a pinned bookmark open a
37:19
new tab wow so revolutionary very amazed
37:23
much wow um Spotlight can be re they
37:26
actually joked about this this cuz I I think a lot of these updates they know
37:30
that they're pretty trivial um Spotlight on OS 10 can now be resized and even
37:35
moved around but that's because it has a lot more functionality so you can um you
37:41
can search with natural terms you can be like documents I just worked on um
37:45
emails from this person that I haven't read yet I like that that's very cool um
37:50
and it can search for like more stuff now can't remember the details and I
37:54
didn't make very good notes Apple search has always been better here's another
37:57
catch up and overtake Microsoft thing and yes Apple search is way ahead of
38:02
Microsoft search um but Microsoft was
38:06
still ahead of the game for window management it blew me away when I did my
38:10
OS 10 I switched and I realized that
38:14
when you switch to a new a new active window it would just like go on your
38:20
screen like wherever the crap you left it and the only way to resize stuff
38:26
other than you know their horrible like theater mode full screen which is so
38:31
obnoxious I hate it it's it's awful it's
38:35
horrendous please don't take away all my buttons you got a 5k
38:41
display don't do that anyway um it blew
38:46
me away that there was no way to just you know snap stuff or throw it into
38:50
quadrants or I mean even even stupid stuff like oh I'm going to put it kind
38:54
of here and this is like the one Improvement that they've made to Aeros snap SN since they launched it now I can
38:58
make it full height well finally Apple
39:02
does AOS snap so you can go sides and
39:05
sides and they actually blew Microsoft
39:09
away on this one when you Aeros snap something to the left you get an expose
39:12
on the right and you can pick what you want your right side to be which makes a
39:16
ton of sense that is faster than snapping something going in hunting for
39:20
CU I don't snap something to one side unless I want something else on the
39:24
other side yep thinking outside the box I mean we got Arrow snap with
39:28
Vista yes how has it not I me and yes
39:32
they've added things I know they've added things not enough things at all
39:38
and you know what's really funny to me about Vista is remember the horrible
39:42
multitasking interface from Vista the Windows tab yeah that that horrendous
39:47
Windows tab like slideshow thing yes
39:50
that's apparently where we're going back to lollipop has it yeah iOS has it now
39:58
how did that come back into fashion it was horrible then it's horrible now like
40:03
anytime you have to animate when I'm multitasking you know multitasking is a
40:07
power user feature in in itself so what
40:10
power user wants to go Windows Tab and wait for the the Windows to shuffle in
40:15
and then animate to the front of your screen now in iOS's defense um the it
40:20
looked pretty smooth when they were doing it m but the stupid thing about it
40:25
and they pitch this as a feature is your multi M tasking things that you swipe
40:28
through are like full screen they're big so you can see them I don't need to read
40:34
it I just need to know what app it is
40:37
show me more stuff anyway that that that made me sad uh
40:43
let's see how hard twitch is hating on the fact that I'm talking about
40:47
WWDC um people are like Windows 10 did
40:50
they bring it back in Windows 10 because I don't I don't particularly like I
40:56
haven't actually play with Windows 10 I don't particularly like the Windows Tab and Windows 8 either um and this isn't
41:02
great either unless you have a touchcreen this is actually great with the touchcreen because bip Bop you can
41:07
be like yeah alt tab that thank you this
41:10
is fast but the whole like slid show
41:13
thing I think is horrendous um what I'd
41:16
like to see is the closest we can get to HTC's I'm not sure if they actually do
41:21
it anymore but the sense multitasking where it just is expose style yeah my M8
41:25
is oh I think people are telling me that Windows 10 does the expose style
41:29
thing really yeah hold on let me have a look let me
41:34
have a look let me have a look Windows yeah I have my a lot of people have
41:38
asked me um if I'm covering Windows 10 and I generally don't even touch a
41:44
Windows OS until it's released because I'm going to go and I'm going to the
41:47
first thing I'm going to do in order to actually use it is I'm going to put it on a production machine
41:53
so there you go uh so I generally don't
41:56
really feel feel like I don't really feel like
41:59
using pre-release software so okay so
42:03
snap Assist 2 by2 snapping and vertical snap features da da da okay snap assist
42:11
yeah there you go okay thank you you guys totally wrecked me on that one I
42:16
appreciate that because at least we managed to not get through the entire
42:19
show without it being corrected this is why I love you guys twitch chat like you
42:25
know what that's where the twitch chat is best used when it takes 4,000 people
42:31
saying the same thing to get something done that is Twitch chat 4,000 people
42:36
saying the same thing over and over again I love you
42:39
guys um automatic straw hole did someone
42:43
reupload the 390x unboxing I see someone posting something a bunch of them yeah
42:47
so that's that's interesting it's really terrible so we really don't need to watch it but there's really not much
42:52
it's got the double de cooler with the
42:56
fast assets on it just and he flips it
43:00
over it's like back blate uh that's it
43:03
all right so more Apple crap and this is really important not because it's Apple
43:06
but because it's uh a huge industry shift so they've done some performance
43:12
optimization in L capan uh they're quoting things like 4X PDF opening
43:17
performance uh 2x app switching performance um 1.4x app launch
43:22
performance something along those lines don't quote me on those numbers they're not they're not the important part
43:26
necessarily what's important is that
43:30
these performance optimizations look like a big part of
43:34
what they're spending time on and why would they be doing that well corm not
43:40
corm I think they're going to do their own CPU probably in the next two years
43:45
so I think I think because the thing about it and and I've had people go oh
43:49
lonus you're an idiot because you know it would break x86 application
43:53
compatibility it would do this do that it's not like Apple's never done that before
43:57
yep in fact they don't care yeah they don't they don't give a crap they're
44:02
going to go with whatever they think is the best long-term user experience and
44:07
they're going to they're going to rock that out and they're going to get
44:10
developer support in a way that no one else really seems to um because they
44:18
make it so profitable for developers that's why developers are so excited
44:21
about WWDC uh I've got a bunch of messages
44:25
from uh from people oh yeah okay oh okay
44:30
both Ed and uh and Nick are messaging me
44:34
with uh with crap about the um the the
44:38
390x unboxing that is that is back apparently and for some reason they also
44:44
want to know what your favorite band is what are you guys doing
45:04
all right so that was the that coming that was that was the fully that was the
45:08
fully auto um rubber band well one of
45:11
the fully automatic rubber band guns that's going to be on an upcoming
45:14
Channel Super Fun um right okay so where are we going with this okay so there's
45:18
all those optimizations and then the Metal Graphics API which is pretty much
45:23
the Apple answer to a mantle or a dx12
45:27
in terms of the what we're trying to achieve here so better performance out
45:31
of the same Graphics hardware and then
45:35
um actually this is really cool so they're claiming up to eight times
45:39
better after effects performance better than opencl and openg uh with their
45:44
partner Adobe using the metal API so
45:48
that would be very impressive better power consumption better
45:51
performance um wow looking very looking
45:55
very very cool so
45:58
yeah I will be I will be surprised if they don't do if they don't have like I
46:03
don't think it necessarily has to be a desktop you know running Apple's own CPU
46:08
I don't think that's the point I think it would be more like a Macbook 3 like a
46:12
Macbook 2015 gen 3 or something like that like a hyper mobile device running
46:17
you know OS 10 some Mount St Helens or
46:20
whatever stupid completely tasteless Mountain they decide to use Crater Lake
46:26
um I'll skim to through the rest of it pretty quickly cuz that was the stuff that I thought was interesting uh watch
46:30
OS 2 is coming it allows native apps now that was fast um it allows uh new more
46:36
informative watch faces with like Dynamic backgrounds that you can have be
46:41
time lapse video that they took of something or something and um it has
46:46
this is cool so you can have information displayed dynamically so like your next
46:50
appointment and weather and then you can kind of use the crown and be like oh well what about my appointment after
46:54
that and the weather later and like what about even ler than that so they're
46:57
calling that Time time travel or something time travel feature yeah yeah
47:03
apple man they just all they have to do is use the word magic and and then it's
47:09
and other Associated things it's like yeah it's time travel like now I feel
47:13
really cool while I do this yeah I'm time traveling into the future I've got
47:17
a dentist appointment it's
47:21
exciting um they've improved contact sorting on the watch they've added email
47:25
replies basically it's just feature
47:28
creep so they're they're adding more features to get it up closer to feature
47:32
parody with um with uh uh Android Wear
47:37
thank you why couldn't I remember what it was called I where the hell is my
47:42
charger for the gatch R I ordered it like two weeks ago I haven't used the
47:45
gatr since the latest wear update
47:49
well going to like attack something I'm
47:52
just excited for the native apps so that they don't have to stream everything
47:55
also the Apple music announcement was the biggest load of fluff nonsense that
48:00
I think that I've ever seen it was basically just a bunch of touchy F BS
48:06
it's coming in at a similar price to other streaming services you're going to
48:09
be able to listen to music just like other streaming services they're adding
48:13
a 247 radio station that's broadcasting
48:16
from La New York and London because those are like trendy cities so I should
48:21
care where a radio station I'm listening to is broadcasting from why do I care I
48:27
I have no idea it's the radio it could be broadcasting from the Moon well that
48:31
would be cool that' be pretty cool yeah or Mars station yeah starring Elon Musk
48:36
yeah okay that would be cool if it's a city on earth I don't give a
48:40
crap broadcast from underground okay that would be cool it just seemed like
48:43
it was a me too feature I can't even come up with something stupid enough to
48:47
be as stupid as caring anyway so 24/7
48:51
radio which I guess there's a lot of radio stations so whatever and this is
48:57
this is sort of cool but I also kind of look at it as potentially just tedious
49:02
um so they have their connect feature where artists and their fans can
49:06
interact so an artist could like upload
49:09
exclusive content or they could just put that on Twitter or something it seems
49:13
like an odd thing that they wouldn't that they would do yeah you can upload
49:17
music videos and photos to fans so I guess Apple wants to be a social network
49:21
now I guess which I I don't really understand I guess I don't really
49:25
understand the benefit because Apple has made it very clear that they are not in
49:29
the business of farming your social network data so what's in it for them I
49:34
don't know maybe they're just artsy fartsy and they want you know more ways
49:38
for it almost seems like a reaction to tidle they're like oh title's got all
49:42
these artist and they're signed up and they're going to be like that's their hub for their music and they're like
49:47
Apple's like yeah we can do that too you can you can post stuff to your
49:51
fans with apple music yeah I I I don't
49:55
really I don't really care I mean they're going to convert a ton of people
49:58
regardless just because it's apple and
50:01
it's going to be like gee what music subscription service should I get for my
50:06
iPhone I guess I'll get apple music um
50:09
but I just I'll need to see them do something a little bit more interesting with it before I can get super excited
50:14
tighter integration is always always nice especially when we're talking about
50:18
something like music all right speaking of
50:21
Integrations it's sponsor time so
50:24
sponsor number one is Lind .c I think we
50:28
all know what linda.com does at this point but just in case we don't they
50:32
have over 3,000 courses available online at that website I mentioned
50:38
linda.com and you can learn all kinds of cool stuff whether it's photography
50:41
visual design business video editing woo
50:45
learn new skills get a new career or just enhance your hobby yeah I took an
50:50
SQL course on it recently did you really how was that it was good did you use our
50:54
code I hate you I did oh did you I don't
50:57
oh thank you good job and what do preemptively tells me he
51:02
hates me what benefit do you get from our code while you get a 10-day free
51:06
trial it's all you can eat for 10 days and you can decide if linda.com is right
51:10
for you PL start at only $25 a month and
51:13
you can learn at your own pace on your own schedule and all that good stuff
51:17
when you're not busy Hawking chemicals uh sponsor number two
51:21
for where is my Squarespace lower
51:25
third Chris well I hit it from you okay that's okay
51:31
uh Squarespace actually has a new feature that is not in my notes because
51:35
I forgot to Nick's Nick's away today see
51:38
this is Nick's chair it's empty oh he's not sitting in it Nick is away which
51:43
makes me extremely sad and um makes the
51:46
show more disorganized makes makes it so that you know things like gee what are
51:50
squarespace's new features that we should be talking about this week makes
51:53
it so that's not done this is cool um oh yeah oh yeah right they they emailed me
51:57
this was really relevant to me because I thought that it was relevant to me so
52:01
all customers upgrading to a professional or business plan on squares
52:04
space from now through to the end of June will receive one free professional
52:08
Gmail account at your domain for one year yep really cool because and
52:14
obviously this is just for Google to get you hooked on the crack that is Google
52:19
Apps for business because it's freaking awesome and makes a ton of sense we use
52:23
it did did you guys switch we did yeah
52:26
um makes makes a ton of sense um and it used to be that it was free up to 10
52:31
users in fact I had a grandfathered in account that I got right before the
52:36
switch oh but the thing about that is that as soon as you needed 11 email
52:41
accounts you had to pay for all of them yeah so anyway at least now you can get
52:45
a taste of it you can try it out having that integration with Google Docs and
52:50
your Gmail and your calendar is is
52:53
awesome the shared calendars are really nice yeah guess I should talk about what
52:57
Squarespace is at least a little bit responsive design uh easy to make a
53:02
beautiful website they've got lots of different templates blogs Stores um
53:07
whatever you want pretty much and they've got I think they've got an easy
53:10
tool now to um to do like those onepage
53:14
sites that are in fashion now and quite frankly I hate them um so I'm not going
53:18
to give Squarespace any props for making those easier for people to make like I
53:21
get people I get people emailing me they're like hey do you want a review
53:24
sample of this thing and I'm like uh G I don't know your website is useless as H
53:32
I'm trying to think of a a useless as that's not completely Politically
53:36
Incorrect right now um uh um a uh okay well very your
53:45
website is useless I know nothing about what you do I'm I'm not going to get on
53:50
the phone to talk to you about it just have a website that has information on
53:53
anyway Squarespace can help you build those kinds of websites with real
53:56
information too so visit squarespace.com and use offer code Linus to save 10% and
54:03
finally fresh books fresh books these guys seem to actually be
54:08
getting a ton of signups from you people I had no idea how many of you are
54:13
running or know people who run small businesses in fact I'm I'm just I'm just
54:19
curious how many of you do
54:24
or or know someone who runs a small
54:28
business um yes
54:32
no and please don't vote
54:35
twice I wish straw pole instead of showing you the link would just take you
54:39
directly to the link and I can copy it from my browser bar because I'm not that stupid or we just copy it automatically
54:45
there you go I want to hear from you guys because apparently these guys have
54:48
been seeing a ton of results so uh what does freshbooks do basically it's it's
54:52
like a cloud-based accounting thing so you can track your you can log your
54:55
hours um you can keep track of your jobs
54:58
you can send bills to your clients you can see that they've read them which is
55:02
critical has the client read the invoice well then why haven't I been paid and
55:07
you can get paid through it as well via credit card so it makes it the the
55:11
actual accounting and money collection process easier so you can spend your
55:15
time Plumbing or carpenting or whatever it is that you happen to do and not
55:21
worry about all that nonsense accounting stuff so there you go it looks like so
55:24
freshbooks.com when to get a free trial today and I'm going to screenshare with
55:28
you guys now because it looks like that is why fresh books sponsor spots are
55:34
doing really well with us because straight up 60% of
55:38
you have someone either can use it or
55:42
have someone that you can refer to it I
55:45
had no idea actually that our audience
55:48
was that small busy you know the funny thing is small
55:51
businesses everywhere though you can make anything I grew up in a house with
55:55
my my parents were teachers right so like I always thought that I
55:59
was going to grow up and go to university and just be a
56:03
teacher I I I even thought outside the box that far I think it's a lot easier
56:07
now with the internet because now you can you know like you can use
56:10
Squarespace and set up your business and then you can you know use linda.com to
56:14
learn how to do something that's right linda.com to learn everything else and
56:18
then you know you charge people with fresh freshbooks but like honestly you
56:21
can start up businesses way easier you can get a reach you can get an audience
56:25
you can create a business with lot less
56:28
effort than it used to take and the really interesting thing is that those kinds of services play a huge part in
56:34
that I mean can you imagine a world and it's funny because I can I lived in it
56:38
uh can you imagine a world where to start up a business you had to have an
56:43
accountant yep or learn how to do bookkeeping straight up or you had to
56:48
you had to pay someone and remember in the early days of website creation how
56:53
expensive it was to get you someone to make something anything more complicated
56:56
than a geoc city site would cost a fortune because it was really
57:00
complicated there was no there was no interface it was a guy coding it line by
57:05
line to have the proper alignment to have tables and everything it's
57:09
complicated to make a website from scratch like from scratch coming from
57:13
someone that has a development background it's not easy and nowadays
57:17
it's just like yep here's my website I'm going to like drag and drop I mean it's
57:21
not quite that easy but I'm going to like drag and drop some nice pictures it's pretty close to a Squarespace like
57:26
you click on something it's like hey I'd like an image here with a caption and a
57:30
paragraph and it's like I want that on every page and it just does it it makes
57:34
a part of your template and makes it really nice so yeah it's and I guess
57:39
that's probably pretty important given that you know uh you you've heard about
57:43
the McDonald's fully automated restaurant I love bringing it up because
57:46
it's the scariest thing ever because that is
57:51
going to kill so many entrylevel jobs
57:55
you're to be a kid in high school with no way to put gas in your car because
58:00
there is nothing to do for like a summer
58:03
or weekend job seriously automation is
58:06
going to kill a lot of low paying jobs so kids are going to have to get off
58:10
their butts make a website come up with
58:13
like something cool to sell on the Internet or or or whatever or whatever
58:18
it is they're going to have to be entrepreneurial that's going to be a big
58:23
change I mean it's no secret that the corporation ations man have been trying
58:27
to cut back the amount they pay and the
58:31
numbers that they need of the little
58:34
workers going to have to find something else to do yeah this video is the one I
58:39
always refer appeal to the humans need not apply it's really good video it's
58:43
really well done but it's just like there are a lot of jobs that machines
58:47
can do more consistently they can work without sleep and all you need is a
58:51
mechanic just to make sure you know when things break down they're like oh here
58:54
let me swap it apart and then the whole machine keeps running yep and
58:59
you know what it's funny I uh I had a I had a conversation with um with my
59:04
sister's boyfriend yesterday um he's going into helicopter pilot training
59:09
which it turns out is a $60,000 4month program holy SM yeah and
59:16
you're like not going to get a job at that point you have to do like
59:19
apprenticeship stuff like you're paid but like you're not paid paid like a
59:23
like a pilot paid yet um and I was like not to men paying off the school that
59:28
you just spent money on exactly so I was
59:31
like okay so hey like what's the plan he's like well you know it pays really
59:36
well it's always been a dream of mine I kind of go yeah yeah yeah that's cool
59:39
I'm with you so far and I kind of went well what about what about automation of
59:43
jobs and I I brought up the McDonald's because I love talking about it I think it's fascinating and he kind of goes
59:47
well you know in Flight a lot of unpredictable things are going to happen
59:52
and humans are way better at that than machines and that's
59:57
true but I kind of went well you know 10
60:00
years ago uh how smart was a machine now
60:05
we have consumer grade drones that you can literally draw on your tablet here's
60:10
some way points yes and come back when you're done that's 10 years think about
60:16
what another 10 years is going to do to automation not to mention that I think
60:21
within 10 years maybe 20 uh even if we
60:24
need a real live pod they're going to be flying remotely there's no way you're
60:29
going to put a pilot in that you know uh firefighting helicopter if you don't
60:34
have to nope you could just carry uh more firefighting material instead of a
60:39
chair and a person you get a VR headset
60:42
you get a cockpit and it's like and you have a 360 camera it's like you're
60:47
you're sitting there cuz you can look around to see you know your pereral because that's one of the main things
60:51
that's hard about driving remotely is that you've got like this one fixed
60:55
camera you've got your screen it's like you've got no peripheral or anything
60:59
else but if you can get like a a rig where you can basically pilot a drone
61:04
remotely that's that's the dream that's
61:07
freaking freaking incredible speaking of drones I got I I tell you I got one of
61:11
the uh the Phantom 3s no but I saw your post on uh on Twitter or Instagram or
61:16
something it's super fun yeah cuz it's
61:19
they Incorporated the light Bridge technology so you get a full 720p view
61:25
as you're flying in which is like light years ahead of the Phantom 2 which is
61:30
where you get like this 480p 15 frames per second and it was like really really
61:35
bad resolution it's
61:39
fun yeah very cool stuff um the the Bop
61:43
is not that sophisticated it's still using Wi-Fi but um that's the closest
61:48
thing I have the good thing about the Bop is it's got that redonkulous antenna
61:52
module that you can attach to it yes with that you've got got a pretty good
61:56
live view still very grainy mhm it's not going to be like full quality 720p right
62:01
but a lot better and you know what actually drones tie really well into
62:05
this next topic uh Oculus finally sort
62:08
of has a launch date this was posted on the Forum by Lord Sparkle bottom and uh
62:14
is some pretty uh pretty vague stuff
62:17
actually okay they didn't they didn't give us like a whole ton of detail um
62:22
the design the design looks much more uh
62:26
consumer friendly than some of the earlier designs that really were kind of
62:31
square and looked very developer Kitty uh let me see if I can uh I almost
62:35
thought that was a disadvantage cuz I was like it just looks so like it just
62:40
looks so smooth now really cuz I was
62:43
like well it doesn't look it doesn't have that like oh you're clearly wearing something that's different now it just
62:48
seems something that's just kind of like it's very smooth cuz it's got that
62:52
fabric on the outside on the outside that's really
62:55
unexpected I mean I'm going to get so much Dorito cheese stained into that
63:00
cloth I think that might have M to obstruct the the LEDs right cuz the LEDs
63:06
are sitting right below that mhm and so now you don't have exposed LEDs on the
63:10
other side like Crystal Cove you've just got this single black meshed covering
63:16
yeah I uh I really I really like the look of it and I'm trying to find a good
63:20
picture right now well here's a here's a render so this might be this might be
63:24
the best we can do for the moment uh but you can see you can see a couple of
63:27
things here so we've got what they're calling what is it VR sound or something
63:32
like that yeah so the head the the headband comes straight around and then
63:35
they've got these two kind of things that just sit on the headband looks kind
63:38
of like upside down like bug antenna yeah yeah um fortunately thank goodness
63:44
for this you can remove the crap out of those and put your own headphones on so
63:49
that's like super nice uh there we go there's a there's a better look at um
63:54
how incredibly uncom those are going to be I mean if you're the kind of person
63:58
where superal headphones work for you
64:01
then great they do not work for me I don't think they mentioned if there's a
64:05
headphone jack on Oculus is there I
64:08
don't think we don't have much in terms of specs y all they're saying is custom
64:12
low persistence display they give they gave a resolution did they yes I saw a
64:18
resolution here somewhere I missed higher than 1080p okay but I mean we
64:22
already had 1440p so I mean for for them to reduce
64:26
it would be would be pretty pretty stupid
64:35
uh yeah I oh oh 2160 by 1200 at 90 Herz
64:41
split over the Dual displays yeah okay
64:45
was this you get 1080 by 1200 per eye
64:49
okay okay and then um oh that yeah okay that should be okay
64:56
I mean it's not 4K and hopefully that's coming soon the other big deal is uh
65:00
what are they calling this uh Oculus touch or something like that yes can you
65:06
double check I have I have it in there Oculus touch so this was the other big
65:09
one so the the rift consumer version will ship sometime in q1 2016 so we have
65:14
some idea when it's coming now at least and it will come with an Xbox One
65:18
controller so that's a partnership that they've entered with Microsoft however
65:22
sometime in the first half of 2016 the Oculus touch is going to become
65:27
available this is a wireless although we've got uh weote flinging prevention
65:32
wrist straps on it thank goodness cuz that that gripping that thing is going
65:36
to be yeah you know dangerous this is going to be so it's a wireless
65:41
lightweight and both hand tracking and
65:46
gesture capable controller so you've actually got some traditional controls
65:50
on here you've got buttons and joysticks but you'll also be able to do things
65:54
like give a thumbs up up or or point at
65:58
something yeah there's there's grip handles underneath that have a button so
66:03
that you can like make gestures with it and there's sensors on the inside of
66:06
that ring the the ring on the inside has sensors so you can detect your fingers
66:11
so presumably you could flip someone off if you really wanted to if you were into
66:15
that sort of thing I can think of a lot of reasons in game I might want to flip someone off I can see that a lot of
66:19
people are probably going to do that yep very very cool obviously is going to
66:24
rely on developer support and terms of amazing games for the
66:29
Oculus EV Valkyrie is kind of looking like the one right now I honestly think
66:34
that VR games the one where it excels is anything that has a cockpit you got a
66:39
car you got a ship you got a I guess boat anything that has like a vehicle
66:43
because that's going to be your natural experience cuz you're sitting in a seat
66:47
yeah and you're going to be looking around so that basically the Pilot's view is going to be here because if
66:52
you're if you're trying to do an FPS like how you turn 180 the rail shooter
66:58
yes right the not rail shooter oo and
67:02
the and the thing about a rail shooter is that they're going to have to figure out like my actually actually my first
67:07
VR experience was at plaum remember plaum yes okay so town so so plaum was a
67:15
big arcade at a mall uh near here and I was playing a VR game and I was holding
67:19
the gun and I was like looking around I was like wow this is the shiz this is so
67:24
cool and I was like like shooting at stuff and then I wanted to look over
67:28
there and like and I realized oh cuz I I
67:31
naturally was going like this at first but the Crosshair was just tied to the
67:35
VR headset right so motion control on
67:39
things like our our weapons on things like our peripherals is going to have to
67:43
be light years ahead of of where we're
67:48
at now um then again you know these
67:51
controllers could help with that but I would prefer a peripheral
67:56
no matter how accurate it's going to be if you're talking about Competitive
67:59
Gaming I don't think these are ever going to be VR is never going to be the
68:03
solution ever is a strong word I don't think so oh well okay competitive no no
68:06
no Competitive Gaming yeah a mouse and keyboard is going to be faster yes
68:10
straight up faster but you could easily have peripherals that are accurate
68:15
enough for competitive VR Gaming yes but
68:18
they have to be tied just to VR Gaming
68:21
yes yeah it would and you know what's really funny is uh like PC gamers are so
68:27
fond of talking about the superiority of the mouse and keyboard compared to a
68:31
controller and yet PC gamers are going to be the ones glomming on to VR and the
68:36
props that go with them in spite of their inferiority sometimes it is about
68:40
the experience which isn't to say that I personally have a better experience with a controller in most games I'm just
68:44
saying that just because you can frag someone a little faster with a keyboard
68:48
and mouse doesn't necessarily mean that's the be all and end all well going back to the Xbox One the reason why they
68:53
wanted it bundled was that they have a a base control mechanism so that basically
68:59
everyone that's going to get an Oculus is all going to get the Xbox One controller and little sneaky anouncement
69:03
that they announced was oh it's comes with an adapter which also was like oh
69:08
the XBox has an adapter now y finally so
69:11
that's finally coming which was like why did it take this long why did it why was
69:15
it not available at launch Microsoft keeps doing this they did it again
69:18
recently and I I missed talking about it on wow that week but they were like yeah
69:22
we haven't done a good enough job we're recommitting to PC gamers no again I'll
69:26
see if I can find it um Microsoft
69:30
recommits to PC Gamers this was like
69:34
fairly recent yeah J June the 4th oh wow
69:38
uh here we go uh oh no no okay see the second this is so funny this is so funny
69:42
check this out you guys so the first link is from June the 4th and the second
69:48
hit is from October 9th because oh and
69:51
the third one is February 11th 2014
69:56
so the first three hits are like three different times they've done this so uh
70:01
recommitting blah blah blah blah something something also be shifting its
70:06
focus back upon PC Gamers we weren't fully committed as a company and I've
70:10
said that before we made commitments blah blah blah Etc one thing that's cool
70:15
this is really cool Oculus is getting native support in Windows 10 so that was
70:19
another part of the announcement yes which is certainly a better experience than the DK2 that we
70:24
have downstairs collecting cuz it's a pain in the butt to use it takes a long
70:27
time to get those things set up and working um they also had the the little
70:33
control mechanism little camera sensor oh yeah yeah so the the the head
70:37
tracking um and I guess presumably hand tracking sensor it looks like one of
70:42
those um one of those little film canister style webcams yeah the odd
70:46
thing though it seems like it's it almost seemed like still a prototype
70:50
because they've got like the camera and then it's got the cable running down the
70:53
stem and then in like with like a zap
70:57
strap on it you know what's really funny I actually have a comment about this um
71:03
let me just see if I can find ah let me see if I can find a
71:07
picture of the of the new Oculus
71:10
camera be calling it the sensor sensor
71:13
sure whatever whatever they're whatever they're calling it it's a camera cameras
71:17
have sensors in them Bam um wow
71:22
Oculus E3 because it just seems like it it like cuz if it was an actual final
71:27
product I would expect you know the cable to come out the base and it you
71:31
know to look more final but it just looks oddly like they just had the
71:35
camera and they're like oh no the cable all right let's just round it down the
71:38
stem and just yeah whatever they had a great render of it in their in their
71:43
presentation that made it look like really elegant and it's like yeah that's
71:48
the only thing on my desk and if it's like the world's most amazing cable that
71:53
like comes out smoothly and that's it's that no you guys it's going to be like
71:57
another like stupid thing on my desk and it's going to look really stupid I
72:01
actually really like the valve HTC implementation where you where you put
72:05
the lighthouse in the corner of the room yep and that'll work better for a lot of
72:10
stuff I'm I'm really interested to see the VR Wars over the next little bit um
72:15
this is huge posted by booo on the Forum original article here is from polygon
72:20
I've been doing a terrible job of linking original articles today just
72:23
been a little bit uh all over the
72:26
place there we go um YouTube is gonna
72:31
have a new gaming site going straight
72:35
for twitch Yep this is um original article here is from polygon an obvious
72:40
response to Twitch TV
72:45
um you know what okay why don't we go through the features first okay and then
72:49
and then we'll talk about sort of what this what this all means so number one
72:56
is YouTube is real good at archiving
72:59
video twitch used to let you archive
73:02
pretty much whatever you wanted for as long as you wanted and they backpedal on
73:06
that twitch wasn't interested in becoming like the world's largest
73:10
repository of stupidly High bit rate
73:13
videos that are super intensive to store
73:17
and to stream to everyone to be fair I feel like twitch users don't go into the
73:21
archives as much as a YouTube user would
73:24
so okay so YouTube comes at this with
73:27
very different traditional strengths and they were very complimentary to each
73:31
other in that way but the funny thing is
73:34
and this was always kind of unintuitive to me until I um well until it clicked
73:40
like at the beginning I I didn't really understand I was like well anyone who
73:43
live streams on Twitch they should have a pretty big YouTube following all they
73:46
would have to do is just upload their streams to YouTube and then they should be like pretty big some people are huge
73:52
on Twitch and actually have very little YouTube presence because it's a very
73:55
different format I mean twitch is more like radio and YouTube is more like a
73:59
show yeah and that's how it is um so so
74:03
they seemed very complimentary for a long time but YouTube wants a piece of
74:07
that pie because twitch has gotten very big and very fat on the enormous amounts
74:12
of money that advertisers are willing to spend on live broadcast and that's
74:16
that's something we've discovered I didn't understand why Wow with its I
74:21
mean thank you very much for watching you guys are awesome mere 5,000 viewers
74:26
compared to a YouTube video we could do that would have 200,000 people watch it
74:30
live is apparently worth way more to advertised and I was like um okay sure I
74:37
I guess we'll make it live yeah well no it was live already y I mean w show
74:42
wasn't monetized for a long time actually really yeah the original live
74:45
stream didn't have any like it had YouTube monetization and I uploaded it
74:49
to YouTube right I wasn't making any money um but I like I discovered this I
74:54
was like why does it matter apparently it does um so it'll have dedic so
74:59
they're going to have a dedicated they're going to have dedicated pages per game to see live and archived
75:04
content and the commitment from YouTube is that gaming will no longer be lost in
75:09
the sea of other content so an example
75:12
they gave is if you enter call it's not going to pre-populate call me maybe
75:17
it'll pre-populate Call of Duty like it'll be smarter about bringing you
75:21
gaming content if that's what you're looking for yeah it's not clear exactly
75:27
how live interaction will be tweaked um Hangouts broadcasts already have
75:31
something that's about as feature Rich As twitch chat at least they have said
75:35
that moderation tools will be better um
75:39
and this is cool they are promising very
75:43
little latency between a stream going
75:46
live and you guys getting a notification as well as very little latency between
75:50
the stream and the chat which is something that
75:55
uh H well twitch tried they they had
76:00
that check box yeah they made it better and so they made it better but even
76:04
right now when we when I've done Hangouts Live on YouTube it it's much
76:09
much faster yep so uh yeah those are
76:13
some those are some pretty big advantages right there but okay you know
76:18
what okay so here can can YouTube take
76:21
it back from twitch and Amazon nope wow wow that was decisive okay why
76:26
I think Google does a really good job of making things that are really featur
76:30
rich and very good for power users but what they lack is the ability to build
76:34
communities like their Community Building skills if Google+ has shown us
76:39
anything I just faure I just don't
76:42
see YouTube taking it but I mean at the
76:46
same time I really like watching live streams on YouTube because I get to
76:51
pause it yeah that's another one DVR functionality will be present I love
76:56
that feature because if I can like if I'm watching a live stream and I got to do something I got to take a call I want
77:00
to pause it thought you were going to say take a crap well I mean or that too
77:04
that too you can just take your phone with you but then it gets all like poo
77:07
particles all over it when you flush and stuff any we carry on but I just don't
77:11
see that I I don't want I want that
77:14
functionality and twitch so far has seemed like they have the player and
77:17
they're just like that's our player it
77:21
works and I mean YouTube also has down L
77:25
for everybody so you don't have to watch it at source mhm so cuz that's what Josh
77:31
grapples with when he does his live streams he's like yeah I'm going to stream at like half 720p so that
77:36
everyone can see it yep and that's that's incredibly frustrating so but
77:41
with that said it's not like twitch doesn't have Amazon money behind it at
77:45
this point it's not like if Amazon decides to go toe-to-toe with Google on
77:48
something they can't at least put up a pretty good fight so technology wise if
77:53
Amazon throws you know their Cloud servers at the at the problem and kind
77:57
of go okay yeah we'll just store everything then and we'll allow dving
78:01
and we'll do this and we'll do that and we'll we'll scale the video in real time
78:04
for everyone the big problem that I foresee for YouTube because
78:08
technologically it's going to make a lot of sense the big problem is relationship
78:12
management and this is on two fronts number one is with the pro gaming
78:18
leagues and the pro Gamers because that
78:21
is what twitch has done a great job of they've made them eles the orts network
78:27
and naturally the orts network becomes
78:30
the hangout for people who are into watching Competitive Gaming and when
78:35
you've got that Competitive Gaming audience you've got the hardc and if
78:39
you've got the hardc the streamers are going to want to be on that platform
78:43
streaming for the hardcore viewers huge
78:46
advantage and number two again where YouTube hasn't been great at
78:50
relationships in the past is with the content makers I've only recently really
78:56
gotten engaged with YouTube and started having conversations with them where
79:00
they like want to talk to me about the things that I that I need for the
79:03
platform and stuff like that um for
79:07
years I hadn't heard anything from anyone and YouTube is going to have to
79:11
figure that out if they want to entice the live streaming Gamers versus the
79:15
YouTuber Gamers they're going to have to do a good job of that and it's it's hard
79:21
bringing someone over from another platform now I will say this from
79:26
personal experience is extremely
79:30
expensive because what that person has
79:33
invested in terms of time and money into
79:37
building an audience on the platform that they're on has a huge value like
79:41
it's not easy to get everyone to follow you you're saying hey y' I'm going to
79:45
switch over to YouTube live now I'm going to you know deprecate my Twitch
79:49
account it's as if life was that easy
79:52
that doesn't happen and so I mean I mean okay okay look at the um look at when we
79:57
moved our videos to vessel we didn't we didn't even switch we just said okay
80:02
we're going to upload to both and vessel's getting them a week early now
80:05
MH and I can tell you guys the conversion rate even though it was free
80:09
and that's what this will be it'll be free streaming on YouTube versus free
80:13
streaming on Twitch even though it was
80:17
free it was really hard to get people to move over and then and now that it's
80:20
paid it's obviously much harder I don't really talk about it that much because I
80:24
understand you know people can just wait and they'll just watch the content for
80:27
free and that's fine and people have a a tendency to stick where it's we've seen
80:32
this from the music streaming services as well they'll put all their eggs in
80:35
one basket where their friends are at where the rest of the community are at
80:39
that's going to have a lot of value as a viewer as well not just as a content
80:42
creator so you're going to want to make sure that wherever you're moving to you
80:47
know you don't want to like move to YouTube and there's like two of your favorite streamers there yep cuz you
80:51
want to go to one website you want to see what's live at right now people want
80:55
a One-Stop shop absolutely and you know what is really funny is I hadn't thought
81:00
about this until we'd already started the show but I realized
81:06
that I stream on Twitch but my main
81:10
audience is actually on YouTube and I'm not really sure what to do because even
81:15
something as simple as if we miss a w
81:19
show or have a a a w show not at the
81:22
correctly scheduled time or if like uh
81:25
Luke or I miss a w show viewership falls
81:29
into the toilet MH the the following week people are just like H what the get
81:34
out of the Habit people are all about habit why do you guys tune in to W show
81:39
I I would Twitter Blitz the crap out of this one at linch on Twitter why do you
81:44
tune into W show is it just a habit is
81:48
it um for entertainment is it background
81:51
noise do you genuinely enjoy it do you not even really care but you just kind
81:55
of do it anyway do you watch with friends I would love to know because
82:00
like I said I didn't really understand the value of wow to advertisers in the
82:05
same way that I'm not much of a long format video Watcher so I just kind of
82:10
stumbled into this I was like yeah live seems to be taking off I should probably
82:14
do a live stream no really that was the entire thought process so that was why I
82:19
called it the live stream at the beginning and I was like oh this is kind
82:22
of like molded into something that people like let's brand it and then we
82:26
called it the land show which everyone hated and then now I'm sure if we tried to change it they'd hate that too they
82:30
would be up in arms I'm not changing it it's called The L show Forever Until I
82:34
change it I know the reason why I watch it is I like to have long form content
82:38
playing as background stuff while I'm doing other stuff so I have a bunch of
82:43
podcasts that I'll listen to and W show I necessarily don't watch the video I'll
82:47
just put it on audio and then I'll just have it while I'm doing stuff in the
82:50
house or whatever so oh wrong one
82:55
Twitter Twitter uh luren says my phone
82:58
reminds me so I just tune in um just do
83:01
it actually love the show I watch when show to tell your servers down okay
83:06
background noise of Friday evening and sometimes listening sometimes background
83:10
noise sometimes entertainment mostly just nothing to do oh
83:15
Jacob oh that's sad um I tune in because
83:20
you guys are enjoyable we know thank you Gorski it's
83:25
a regular Tech show that has entertainment value
83:28
simple yep for the background noise and it's a habit I'm actually seeing a fair
83:32
bit of background noise and fair bit of well it's my Friday night routine so
83:37
that's what I do watch it when I code
83:40
huge nerd good to get the news look at that because we're all drunk sorry are
83:45
you leaving see you tomorrow
83:50
morning RP headphone users I'm very sorry about that got a good send off I
83:55
just got bombarded again um background
83:58
noise to be honest which is really funny because there's a whole lot of people so
84:02
newest information background noise became a habit because I get a
84:07
notification telling me you're live L love it um so and none of this kind of
84:13
adds up to me in some ways because it's like okay so live is somehow worth more
84:17
to advertise there's lots of you are just using it as background noise anyway
84:20
I I I don't get it but there you there you go so so I'm kind of looking at it
84:25
going well if I change up my routine am I am I hurting myself and my viewers I
84:32
don't know I don't anyway thanks for the thanks for the Twitter comments guys I'm
84:36
almost done the stream today actually yeah um it's not much left the do
84:41
Microsoft oh just a couple rapid fire topics um this was posted by Mr M heads
84:45
on the Forum and uh the original article here is from slash dot I don't remember
84:50
the last time I was linked to slash dot
84:53
wow they exist
84:57
um let's here we go I'll go ahead and post this so they updated their their
85:02
their like malware definition to include
85:05
programs that hijack your search uh
85:09
functionality in your browser Without You explicitly telling them to so this
85:13
would actually classify the ask toolbar as malware in most
85:18
cases that is hilarious and should have happened 10 years ago yep thank you
85:23
Microsoft for treating that stuff like the garbage that it is appreciate that
85:28
also this is cool so original article here is from hexus these are pretty cool
85:33
these are freaking Smurf so uh yeah stay tuned for that
85:40
everyone's like rip headphones I'm sorry I'm sorry BL ber why did I wait what oh
85:47
sorry sorry sorry here it is all right so Samsung unveils it's
85:54
first mirror and transparent OLED
85:58
displays so I can't wait transparent is
86:01
is a pretty strong word they've achieved 40% light
86:05
transmission that's enough though that's translucent oh well they yes well well
86:12
okay you can clearly see the image on the other side pixels are off yeah it's
86:16
not scattering anything so yeah anyway
86:20
so they're saying that this is I think they're saying uh four times what anyone
86:24
else has done but I LG showed off 30%
86:27
transparency like earlier this year or something like that but with a much
86:32
smaller low res panel and LG was projecting 40% in
86:37
2017 so looks like Samsung's doing okay
86:41
so can I have these in my car uh okay so
86:44
that's one proposed sort of use for them another one is things like virtual
86:48
fitting rooms for the mirrors so the mirror I think is 75% reflectance not
86:55
too shabby I mean just to be just so you guys know 75% doesn't actually sound
87:00
that reflective but a mirror that you go
87:03
buy at like the store is not going to be
87:07
actually as reflective as you might think you have to get like pretty super special mirrors for things like um if
87:13
you don't have enough this was more of a concern in the old days before short
87:16
short throw projectors but uh people with home theater systems would have to
87:19
rear fire their projector have like a super expensive amazing balls mirror and
87:25
then have it reflect back forward in order to get the the picture big enough
87:29
um a standard commodity mirror is not
87:32
that reflective and if you mount it inside a wall or right up against the
87:37
wall you're not going to need it super duper crazy reflective yeah let me just
87:41
see if I can uh let me just see if I can find wire mirrors made of glass
87:45
something something something yeah I can't find it but I remember being
87:49
floored that this that this mirror was like hundreds and hundreds of dollars
87:53
that one of my co-workers bought at the time uh for his
87:58
projector early adopter taxs yeah all right well I don't know I
88:03
guess I guess that's about it um thanks to you guys for participating thanks to
88:07
Chris for joining us in Luke dead today thanks guys for having me and I guess
88:13
that's it that's all we'll see you guys again next week same bat Time same bat
88:18
channel for now bye guys
88:24
oh right I can roll the outro oh
