we're not late we're not late L we're not late I guarantee you the chat
0:04
thingss for late I guarantee you that the chat is watching us right now uh we
0:11
are live regardless we're late it's 32
0:15
right now why are we dropping frames why are you dropping frames we're dropping a
0:18
lot of frames oh yeah that's right uploading good work we have a technical
0:23
consultant with us today so hopefully the dropped frames go away in 1 minute
0:28
from now and maybe will just restart the stream at that point yay then we'll then
0:34
we'll definitely be late then we'll be late
0:37
yeah let's see are we still dropping frames we are I am so looking forward to
0:43
our new internet at our new place it is like then we could upload and stream at
0:47
the same time like are you here or are you not here I'm not here you're not
0:51
here am I supposed do you want me to be here it doesn't it doesn't matter I just
0:55
wanted to know if I can talk to you you can talk to me I can talk to be camera I
0:58
guess okay well hold on I actually have a I have a solution for that so we're
1:02
just going to go ahead and also just like sit on more of the from time to
1:06
time if we decide that maybe he should appear on the camera there seus is here
1:11
with us and he's apparently taking my place this is my show don't be an
1:15
about it so uh basically at our
1:18
new place we are going to have a 200 up 200 down fiber line with unlimited
1:23
bandwidth streamer Delight yeah I am so
1:27
excited because this consumer grade internet nonsense is terrible do you
1:30
want to just say say hi introduce yourself to do that like I can cast from
1:35
there then right um cuz my internet's pretty awful I I I I guess um I'm being
1:41
kind of put on the spot here I can't really say I can't say no in front of
1:45
the people can I perfect time to ask right yeah it's like when it's when it's
1:50
awkward everyone's freaking out so uh I guess you don't have to introduce
1:54
yourself but you might as well just in case just in case there's one person
1:58
here who doesn't already know who you are uh I broadcast on Twitch every day
2:01
twitch.tv/ seus and I play games which
2:06
apparently people think you might do and then they walk away when you don't yeah
2:11
you have to tell the story now that tell the story that does you know what tell
2:15
it again I I am tired of this story I hate I hate this story hilarious he
2:19
standing outside of BMW wearing a purple twitch shirt I go all the way half
2:23
around the world to bring you this story and and this this kid walks up to him
2:28
who he kindly refers to his kid and I've been informed by Burl is taller than him
2:33
um and goes oh like do you stream on Twitch are you are you a twitch streamer
2:37
That's so exciting I was wearing a twitch shirt in his defense do you play games and he's like well you asked me
2:42
two questions kid I don't he said it that way I did
2:47
not say that every version of the story I've heard you said that you said that
2:50
but I doubt he said it that way that I was think he's a kind person deep down
2:53
inside anyways so the conversation goes on and he has to explain to the the the
2:58
young man that no he doesn't play video games but he does stream on Twitch but
3:02
it's this weird Tech show thing and then the kid's like oh well I don't really
3:06
care he walks away he leaves YouTube is for Old Men now apparently you explain
3:11
that you were on YouTube um well I said I had like a technology show and he just
3:16
walked away he was like oh okay cool peace out of there so so there you go
3:22
apparently the camera is not focused I for that 360 no scope wrecked sorry I
3:26
have to uh I have to kick you off for now but uh he he's here at any rate he's
3:31
not joining us on the couch cuz he likes that chair apparently we should uh cover
3:34
what our main topics are going to be today so number one this is the big news
3:38
this week Skyrim paid mods they're gone
3:41
I mean you'll still have the mod if you paid for it and you'll also have your
3:45
money so really they're here more than they ever
3:48
were what I also Square Enix did a
3:52
DirectX 12 demo that is absolutely
3:56
bananas I mean Square Enix Square
4:00
soft yeah going all the way back as far as it goes I mean they've always been so
4:06
good at cutcenes and you're like wow that is some great pre-rendered
4:10
cinematic stuff and then now we just have to hope they get good at making Final Fantasy they like move the camera
4:15
and oh you know I I feel like I
4:19
shouldn't complain about Final Fantasy because I haven't played one since I
4:24
want to say 12 10 or something like that I have
4:29
a p too CAU up yeah I think maybe maybe
4:33
10 or like 10 two or something but anyway somewhere in that range I
4:37
definitely know who Titus is so whatever one he's in and then maybe the next one
4:42
can't remember the point is boy are they rubbish these days um so whatever you
4:47
you talk about other topics okay so the Apple watch bomb cost is under $100 I
4:51
think it's like 80 or 85 which is
4:54
ridiculous or totally normal or I don't know yet we'll talk about that more
4:57
later AMD free sync Crossfire has been delayed that's super amazingly
5:02
surprising you know what else has been delayed what
5:06
layers when you take them apart
5:09
delayed okay oh wow intro
5:13
time who broke the intro it's it doesn't
5:16
it's not no one in particular who broke
5:20
the intro you did seus probably broke the intro I told you guys did you go
5:24
through this every week not to let him in this room unsupervised like we need
5:28
to uninstall install xplit we just don't do it right well I'm sure that would
5:33
solve the whole problem I'm willing to bet that um where is where's the intro
5:41
file is this it is this it yes okay well
5:45
let's just fix the audio really quick everyone heads up it's going to be super
5:48
loud headphone users turn it down what's going on now I clicked the scene and
5:52
it's it's not happy it's oh no it's getting unhappy it's not it's not it's
5:57
not happy evus fix the code live there was no
6:01
there was no happiness in my are we even still live yeah I don't know I it's not
6:08
showing more encoded frames though I I don't know I don't know yeah I think
6:13
so let's see we're not sure if we're live so
6:18
uh we're uh we're gonna uh anyways that
6:21
was the intro thank you to uh um usually
6:26
they would show up on screen did the did the intro play maybe alt tab will save
6:33
us uh maybe control alt delete will save
6:36
us oh god oh no uh okay we started task
6:41
manager I oh what did do something no
6:44
it's the video preview works okay uh maybe previews been working I'm going to
6:49
do something drastic don't no I'm going to switch users why would you doing just
6:54
leave it oh we can't change I can't change
6:57
scenes yeah so I'm going to do something drastic I'm going to switch users and
7:03
I'm going to see if the stream continues when we log back in all right
7:09
I looking at the username on the middle of the screen uh twitch chat is
7:13
suggesting that we go with deleting system 32 twitch chat is often full of
7:19
excellent suggestions like that we are we are going pretty low percent chance
7:23
it'll actually work but hey all right intro time
7:29
there's music I have no idea who the sponsors
7:33
are to you grab the wrong intro what this is the old one this is the one you
7:37
told me to use no I pointed no no well
7:40
whatever so um it's w swamp with nothing
7:44
after it's I think you scrolled up okay well linda.com is one of our sponsors
7:50
today as is Dollar Shave Club and also
7:55
Squarespace it beautiful
7:59
not not that one not them okay so let's go ahead and jump right into our first
8:04
topic here uh what is our first topic
8:07
our first topic is that our folding team is awesome oh that's right yeah so Luke
8:14
did a little video I want to do another one by the way that he's been bugging me
8:17
to do for like a year now that it worked I want to do another one and uh well we
8:23
have yet to see if it worked I think it worked um so basically this is our
8:28
distributed computing Bill blog and uh basically LED it up
8:34
like a a computer and then talked about
8:37
how it's really good for distributed computing and distributed computing for those of you who don't know is go watch
8:42
the video the point it makes it makes a lot of points it's not necessarily the
8:45
most balanced thing in the world yeah we we we we knew that um but yeah what's
8:52
cool about it is do you want to give some do you want to give some stats for the LT so we have 170 active folding
8:58
members which is insane I believe that's more than the default group for folding
9:01
members which is crazy we have 4,300 total team members we're getting about
9:06
16 million PPD which stands for points per day um folding is cool it helps with
9:11
try trying to cure things like Alzheimer's and other stuff or research
9:15
not necessarily try to cure it helps with research it's basically um instead
9:19
of having one super crazy expensive super computer they distribute the load
9:23
to a whole bunch of computers around the world so that they can do the Computing
9:26
for them and we're trying to help with that so we are now the number one team
9:31
for active folders in the world and we are I believe 25th yes 25th in terms of
9:37
total overall points there's some teams that are above us that have been going
9:40
for over 10 years so it'll take us a little bit to to surpass those guys but
9:44
we're we're doing quite good absolutely incredible so let's move on to our first
9:49
topic here this was posted by Victorious secret I'll go ahead and Tesla topic
9:55
ever yeah did you are you posting this in chat yeah I got it are you sure cuz I
9:59
I've got it open like I can go no don't I got it okay okay so basically
10:04
everything you need to know about Tesla's new household batteries they're
10:08
taking what they know about batteries that they put in cars and pretty much
10:12
putting them in your house it sounds like I've oversimplified things a little
10:17
bit in actuality I really haven't so it's going
10:21
to be like a like a sub a sub operation
10:24
that they're calling Tesla energy and Elon Musk is quoted as saying our goal
10:28
is to f fundamentally change the way the world uses energy I don't know that
10:32
batteries are necessarily a fundamental change but I do agree with the sentiment
10:37
and it is indeed a noble one um the home
10:40
battery is called the power wall so as you may or may not expect it is uh
10:45
basically an electrified barrier around your house that if anyone tries to NP
10:51
get although there's videos on that you can make a force field around your car
10:54
it's kind of cool okay it has the same amount of force when you walk into it as an AK-47 nice interesting video should
10:59
check it out all right so the it's called the power wall basically it's a wallmounted battery and then the
11:03
business battery is called the power pack which to me makes absolutely no
11:08
sense it sounds like something that goes into like Han Solo's Blaster yeah you
11:11
know before he like all gun sounds smaller it sounds like something you could like throw in your backpack and
11:15
then like charge your laptop while you're on the road or whatever as much as I would love to have Tesla grade
11:21
batteries in to use as like portable battery Banks I really don't think
11:25
that's what we're talking about Noe no n um so they're quoted as being completely
11:28
sustainable zero carbon uh Power wall increases the capacity for a house with
11:33
solar panels um that's something that is a major issue for people with solar
11:37
panels is they can only use them during certain times of day and often not at
11:41
peak hours so for example in the winter when it gets dark at 5:00 at night when
11:46
everyone in the city gets home you know around 600 7 8:00 at night turns on
11:51
their TVs their computers that's peak hours that's when you're paying the most
11:54
for your electricity your solar panels are doing not a whole lot so if you're
11:58
going to sell your electricity back to the grid during the day when it's cheap
12:03
and then buy it back from the Grid at night when it's expensive that kind of
12:07
sucks so having what is effectively a power Reservoir in your house is going
12:12
to allow anyone whether it's a business or a Home user taking advantage of solar
12:15
power you should be careful with power Reservoir because there's there's ways
12:19
you can actually have a reservoir and use it as a battery okay there's
12:22
capacitors and stuff like that yes you can power you have a water system and
12:27
use the water system as a battery you pum water somewhere and then having itow
12:31
down that would work that is extremely cludy and I like this solution better so
12:36
yes but I'm just saying just careful with the reservoir um the size of the
12:39
thing is 3T across 4T tall and 6 in deep so it's all about about like
12:44
me we were both going the same direction with that from slightly different angles
12:49
which is how we usually do it um it's got a 10-year warranty and the selling
12:54
price to installers is $3500 for the 10
12:57
kwatt hour or $3,000 for the 7 KW unit I
13:02
would recommend spending the extra $500 given that you get um what 40% more
13:08
capacity for your extra uh you know one
13:12
sixth of the price whatever that works out to in percentages 18% I don't know
13:17
I'm guessing at this point one thing okay I might have missed this but one
13:20
thing that I didn't see a lot of info on was um Peak power 3 Kow oh continuous
13:26
power 2 kilow oh never mind yeah like
13:29
not the only information I was looking for you can power your house off of this
13:33
thing it's like pretty cool like okay don't expect to be you know running your
13:37
clothes dryer say yeah don't try to run the dryer the dishwasher and your and
13:41
your TV and like well you can run your TV but you can't run your dryer and your
13:45
TV is the point okay the dryer is the issue all right everyone just calm down
13:48
big large like uh sometimes kitchen and
13:53
like washroom appliances will be a problem so there's two scenarios here
13:56
there's the scenario where during peak hours you're augmenting your use you're
14:01
augmenting what you would normally have to buy purely from the power company
14:06
with this stored power and then scenario number two is in an emergency if you
14:12
conserve it if you are like okay we're going to turn on one light we're going
14:15
to charge our phones so that we can make phone calls um and we're going to charge
14:20
our maybe like our laptops things that are relatively low power devices you
14:23
could run off of this thing for quite some time time yeah especially if you
14:27
stack them they can stack up to I think it's nine you can get the power walls
14:31
and stack them up to I think nine times which is crazy that's sick yeah 90
14:36
kilowatt hours be a lot of money um but
14:39
yeah there's still I would like to see people doing like a a benchmark of sorts
14:44
between this and a generator solution cuz I know a lot of like uh they're
14:49
complaining that that's really loud when you put it down oh that probably really sucks
15:04
I got you guys I'm going to I'm going to put it down very
15:07
nicely here just stack it on my pile of extreme editions here oh jeez there that
15:13
should that now it's in the frame there we go that should take care of are they
15:17
all in there yeah oh I didn't think so cool all right yeah I'd like to see it
15:22
properly compared against a generator because I know a lot of like data centers and stuff that use full massive
15:27
generators as their backup y so it' be interesting to see if it's actually
15:30
worth it uh interesting note we may have found a UPS um like uninterruptible
15:36
power supply source for the new place General
15:40
Electric yeah I know I didn't even know they made them um what oh so blah blah
15:44
blah figures the entire world could go renewable primarily solar with 900
15:49
million power packs those would be the business grade batteries Elon Musk is
15:53
using it at home but doesn't have enough roof space to go 100% solar he figures
15:57
it'll probably be 2/3 solar power when all said and done I mean the thing that
16:01
we're not factoring in here is that while the cost of the battery is like
16:04
pretty AOK the cost of going solar on
16:07
your roof is actually extremely high still depends depends where it depends
16:12
where well the practicality depends but The Upfront installation cost is high no
16:16
depends where okay so what are the Oh you mean Solar City yeah yeah I mean I'm
16:22
not I'm not talking about like when there's supplementary funding coming in
16:26
I mean that stuff is expensive but in a lot of countries and stuff there there's
16:29
huge amounts of supple supplementary funding because the government wants to get it going not everywhere that's why I
16:33
said depends where like in Canada good luck bro yeah there's nothing you're
16:37
buying those solar panels straight up you're paying for installation straight up yeah and you're not going to have as
16:42
much sun I mean the last time I looked into it was probably about 4 years ago
16:46
and basically uh there were no Kickbacks that I was aware of or it was like very
16:51
very small they were incredibly expensive lots of trees in my area I
16:55
looked into it around the time we moved into our house lots of trees in my area
16:58
live in Vancouver it's cloudy 186 days a year um just doesn't make just doesn't
17:04
make a ton of sense not right now at least it probably will eventually but
17:07
not right now um but yeah very cool um I
17:12
guess that's all there is to really say about it it's going to make a lot of sense for a lot of people even people
17:16
who aren't necessarily going solar can benefit from not buying electricity
17:20
during peak hours here in British Columbia it's far less of an issue we
17:26
have an awful lot of falling water here but in places like California where
17:29
power is much more expensive um in places like like small island nations
17:35
like uh you know Taiwan for example how
17:38
are you going to generate power there well you burn hydrocarbons yay um so them no interest
17:45
in solar panels no we don't have an interest in solar panels why our
17:48
infrastructure was made in like the 60s right after like the war and everything
17:53
and so it was never made to put power back in to the grid so things there's R
17:59
outs all the time because there's too much power going in so they like stop
18:04
giving people permits until they try to fix the system but they have no money to
18:08
fix the system yeah they should easily be able
18:13
to run their whole place off solar panels thing so we just we just burn oil
18:16
it's cool we have one Coal Power Plant I think like seven oil wow something like
18:22
that jeez winning yeah that's horrible
18:27
all right go team Hawaii um so Skyrim paid mods this is the other
18:34
big one for this week actually this is kind of the big news for this week valve
18:42
heard you guys Bethesda heard you guys
18:46
and uh mostly it cost them aone lot of
18:50
money they spent a lot of money
18:53
appeasing people who were super upset
18:57
about paid mods in Skyrim and they have
19:01
backpedal 100% they didn't actually care that you were upset they cared that your
19:05
upsetness was really expensive and I mean you know what's really funny is
19:10
what was the quote from gab Ben about how much it cost them in customer
19:14
service a million dollars do they have enough customer service agents to pay a
19:18
million dollars in a span of a week serly it wasn't even up for a week was
19:23
it was was like four days uh part of the problem could have been that like they I
19:28
want to run these numbers let's run these numbers I think you just threw out
19:32
a number I don't no no no no no I want to I want to know I want to know how
19:35
many people valve has working in customer service okay so let's he
19:39
doesn't let's say no no no just everyone just relax for a second okay so so they
19:44
paid a million let's say customer service job let's say you work at valve
19:47
where apparently everything is made of lollipops so they spend $52 million a
19:51
year I mean gay man eats a lot of lollipops obviously okay so if it's made a lollipops let's say you make $25 an
19:55
hour as a CSR there okay $25 nice even
19:58
number that's reasonable okay so 4 days 24 that's pretty good for customer
20:03
service right that's pretty good they probably don't make that much yeah so 24
20:06
hours but there's some overhead you know you got your your employment insurance
20:09
and blah blah blah okay so 96 hours 9 96
20:13
hours so let's say um let's say they got
20:16
paid time and a half because they were working a lot of overtime let's say
20:20
there's some double time mixed in there okay so let's say it costs uh3 $38 an
20:25
hour to have these to have these people running let's say they've never heard of
20:28
like Gmail filters or anything yeah okay so um so so so so hold on so we got a
20:33
million dollar divided by 38
20:37
right divided by 38 so it's called that
20:40
so that's
20:44
26,35 hours now if each of those people
20:47
worked the entire four days without sleeping which you know I I'd pay double
20:52
time for that no I wouldn't um so so let's goad overtime at all let's go
20:56
ahead and ever divide div by complete
21:00
crap so hold on a second where was I divide by 9 96 C sleep for like eight
21:04
total hours just everyone everyone needs to relax for a second so divided by 96
21:09
so we're assuming they all worked the entire 4 days that means valve has
21:14
274 support people who worked the entire
21:18
4 days straight on that million
21:24
dollars meanwhile there was probably no actual overtime
21:29
meanwhile they're probably making like $10 an hour not
21:33
25 yeah H oh oh oh okay all right all right
21:38
I've got I've got ghost leaving comments in the uh in the in the thing the price
21:43
may have been something to do with keeping the email servers up and all
21:46
that kind of stuff well you know I think we built in enough fudge factor into our
21:49
calculation PR sure email servers are fine given that they clearly didn't work
21:54
for 96 hours 96 consecutive hours with
21:58
all two 73 people mashing away at
22:01
keyboards the entire time so um basically what happened is all the money
22:06
spent on mods will be refunded completely Bethesda and valv are in
22:09
agreement on this because presumably Bethesda got flooded too um and the
22:13
quote is great we've done this because it's clear we didn't understand exactly
22:19
what we were doing we so the goal was to put a share
22:25
of the rewards in the hands of the community creators also and this is
22:29
another quote we wanted great mods becoming great products like DOTA
22:33
Counterstrike Day Z and Killing Floor
22:36
which sounds great in theory if they weren't taking the Lion's Share of the
22:40
whole thing for themselves for the privilege of allowing it to be hosted on
22:44
their servers so gay Ben's claim was that it's cost valve a million dollars
22:48
in time spent dealing with the blowback you know what if we factor in gay Ben's
22:52
salary if he worked the four days I don't know what he makes but who knows
22:57
that might have maybe he was just like I will give
23:00
myself a million dollars we will filter out everything that says mod in it in
23:04
the email servers and then just move on and not reply to any of them I mean the
23:08
reality of it is that sounds like their customer service now that they've
23:12
backtracked on it they don't really need to reply to the emails complaining about
23:15
it that's my point and I I seriously doubt they did straight up template um
23:20
uh blah blah blah so yeah so basically the long and short of it is that valve
23:25
hasn't apologized they haven't apologized for the crappy Revenue share
23:29
they haven't apologized to people who think mods should be free who I don't
23:32
agree with anyway I think that there's nothing wrong with paying content
23:36
creators for the effort and time that they put into and I think that that can
23:39
turn into better content over time um as
23:43
these people kind of go oh there's a real viable business to be made here
23:46
maybe I can hire some artists and you know hire some programmers and maybe I
23:50
can turn this into a real thing I don't think there's anything wrong with that
23:54
but at the end of the day they have apologized for nothing
23:58
they're coming back for sure they'll come back in some form they'll just
24:02
figure out a better way to uh a better way to spin it pr- wise so the quote it
24:08
didn't make Financial sense for valve to push paid mods $10,000 in Revenue cannot
24:12
possibly compensate for the potential loss of millions of dollars from Angry
24:15
emails messages especially when you're losing your customer trust in the
24:19
process can I help you yeah um I was just going to jump in about the million
24:23
dooll cost thing um apparently this isn't how I read the quote but some
24:27
people in twit are saying uh the quote was that it cost them a million dollars
24:31
in potential Revenue yeah yeah yeah that's that's fine we got it anyway okay
24:35
so so basically yeah it was I I it's I
24:39
was being factious I don't think valve has 273 customer support agents do you
24:45
really have to explain this I I do apparently no because Nick walked all
24:49
the way over here to tell me that I had to that I had to explain it I was being
24:55
factious it was a joke I don't think they have that many people don't think
24:58
they worked for 48 hours I don't think they make $25 an hour I don't think they
25:02
got paid time and a half and he doesn't think anyone should ever get overtime and I I I think that particularly salary
25:08
employees are what they are oh crap I'm a salary employe you made everyone in
25:12
the company a salary employee just so you wouldn't have to pay overtime ever
25:16
that's not how salary Works you're a
25:20
manager manager of what let's move on um
25:25
China to start officially rating
25:29
its citizens including online
25:33
Behavior this is some
25:37
seriously ugly stuff and the the the the
25:40
scariest part of this is that it's not actually new there just weren't English
25:46
old there weren't English translations of some of these documents up until now
25:52
uh this website is not being easy for me to navigate you have to so that's yeah
25:57
okay there you all right there we go are you you're you're muted thankfully all
26:01
right there's a BMW commercial C you know what what did you post the link
26:05
already no I got it I'm not going to I'm actually going
26:08
to post the for one this time all right so this was originally posted by popman
26:13
which reminds me I should probably so Skyrim pager mod was lightning all right
26:18
originally posted by popman and pretty much what this amounts to
26:22
is China's government has kind of
26:26
decided that they're turning from a society of of acquaintances people who
26:31
interact with each other and you know have like kind of a you know a social
26:36
mesh of of of like bonding and and trust
26:39
and all that into this you know mass of
26:43
anonymous people who you know won't have
26:47
regard or won't have uh won't have trust in each other or don't know so so a
26:52
nation of anonymous people um so this
26:56
electronic system strangers thank you it says strangers yeah um so this
27:00
Nationwide electronic system is called the social credit system so each of the
27:05
1.3 billion citizens of China gets a score for their behavior based on four
27:11
major Fields politics business society and
27:16
justice justice justice the Chinese
27:19
press has talked about the system focusing on financial credibility only
27:24
which is really not that different from a credit rating if I don't pay a parking
27:28
ticket then does that affect you know my
27:31
does that affect my trustworthiness in terms of do I do I pay bills um does my
27:36
phone company need to know about that I guess that kind of makes sense where
27:39
where Financial transactions are involved but um some other media uh
27:44
particularly uh there's a German report that has revealed the more intriguing
27:48
side of the story so um there's a variety of criteria uh all the way down
27:53
to criminal record and even social media
27:56
Behavior so you could get profiled based
28:00
on your social media behavior and that can affect all kinds of stuff like your
28:04
ability to get a loan your ability to apply for housing um this is just this
28:12
is just insane I mean uh it's being
28:15
compared to the surveillance of East German citizens after the war we go to
28:19
but yeah after that particular War but
28:22
apparently far more ambitious and is an attempt to create a new way way of
28:28
behaving for their citizens um now this
28:32
is this is just a a note in my notes apparently some experts are are sort of
28:37
speculating that Chinese internet companies like 10cent will go along with
28:42
the government because in China the internet companies are see themselves as
28:46
in more of a symbiotic relationship with the government whereas the American
28:50
companies like your Google and your microsofts and your apples
28:55
are at least on the surface initiatives
28:59
like this head on they butting heads with the with the US government about it
29:03
and for the most part it seems like actually doing the right thing by their
29:08
users mostly at least as far as we can
29:12
tell um protecting their data sets so
29:17
could you imagine like part of your Chinese Tinder profile is like your
29:21
social score and you can like you swiped left a
29:25
lot yeah you swipe you're a very shallow person score down you dropped your
29:30
score really though I mean the thing that's the level of insanity and there's
29:34
stuff in here like buying diapers apparently classifies you as a
29:40
responsible person whereas playing copious amounts of video
29:46
games that that makes you that makes you
29:50
a social credit low life apparently yeah I would have I would probably actually I
29:54
thinking of my habits I would probably have a really really low score and get
29:58
this me associating regularly with
30:01
someone who has a low social credit score is going to affect my social
30:06
credit and that's a that's an interesting like waterfall effect
30:09
because then if say say say it went this way you knew lonus I knew lonus but I
30:15
didn't know you so if your score is bad because of video games then his score
30:20
goes down a little then my score goes down like wow I mean imagine if you were
30:27
a Teen Mom what would your social credit score be
30:30
then like I don't know like probably see because buying diapers would bring it up
30:34
but then I bet you the fact that you're young and pregnant what if you're single
30:38
what if you're a single Teen Mom does that drop like like it's basically a
30:44
pure it's a way of controlling and and
30:47
and socially ostracizing people who don't get in line with the party's
30:51
values I mean the fact that social media is part of this if you say anything
30:55
about how you don't like it people better not associate with you because
30:59
you're going to be one of those people who drives down their social credit score they might not get a bank loan is
31:03
that why we didn't hear about this for a year probably because they said something that this was happening then
31:08
their score just plummets and all of a sudden they're like a worthless citizen
31:12
now they can't do anything that's insane that's absolutely insane absolutely
31:18
unbelievable so uh yay China you know um
31:25
maybe I'll move there
31:28
not at all ever no Audi has made Diesel
31:32
from water and carbon monoxide or excuse
31:35
me carbon dioxide that would have been interesting no hold on a second there's
31:39
conflicting information in our notes I thought it was carbon monoxide so I'm
31:43
going to double check nope carbon dioxide all right so water and carbon
31:47
dioxide two things that are definitely plentiful the original article here is
31:52
from IFL science let's go ahead and
31:56
bring that up um basically the technology is not
32:01
actually new twitch chat is wondering if you watch like really crappy porn does
32:06
your score go down and then if you watch like premium porn does your score go
32:10
like you pay a lot of money for it that means that you have the money like if
32:14
you go to like a a like like free porn site does your score go down and then if
32:18
you spend money on a reliable purchase and pay the bill properly all right if
32:23
we're coming back to this topic I I have to sort of pitch in here I don't think
32:27
how much you spend on the porn factors into it no no no no no I think it's
32:32
going to be whether the porn is is socially acceptable so single guy on
32:38
single girl only missionary only with
32:42
the intent to prate government government approved like porn be like
32:48
lots of kissing real love okay that's
32:51
probably going to affect your social credit score less than like donkeys if
32:55
it's orwellian isn't it not the real love thing are they supposed to not
32:58
enjoy it so it has to be porn where they're like I don't like you to Pro and
33:03
maybe it's with you like who the oh gosh could you imagine like like it has to it
33:08
can't be porn it has to be like reality porn so like they have sex and then 9
33:12
months later there's the baby so it's like it's about the it's about Fade to
33:16
Black N9 months later fade back from black it's about inspiring the Chinese
33:20
people and they're happy if you stop watching too early like your score is
33:26
bad you're supposed to follow through if you skip the beginning and watch the end
33:29
your scores even better although I don't think they want more babies so this is
33:33
probably completely backwards all right so Audi has made Diesel from water and
33:37
carbon dioxide apparently the technique is not new uh this is something that has
33:42
been possible since the 1920s so like
33:47
super D duper not new but Audi says that
33:51
thanks to the higher temperatures of the process as well as some general
33:55
refinements they have made some progress towards making it more viable so I guess
34:02
there's not too much to say about that other than that if they can make diesel
34:06
out of and it's not it's not diesel diesel it's like some kind of I forget
34:10
what they're calling it e diesel yeah e diesel are they calling it e diesel is
34:15
that right so like electronic diesel I
34:18
thought that was what e meant I thought it was email you
34:21
know environmental oh yeah but no that's
34:26
that's eco it would be eco diesel e but isn't there already Eco diesel possibly
34:31
it's like well we're just going to leave out the co because it's not made of
34:35
carbon monoxide anyway so we'll just put in the E science jokes I think I think
34:43
they're not funny so if you guys want to know
34:46
anything about the process Eco diesel RAM trucks all right Eco diesel
34:50
apparently already works well thank you very much for that I don't know if that's a fuel type though that's
34:53
probably just like the yeah that's the RAM like branding it could be TM you
34:57
know could be like it could be like well if you guys are making fuel that uh
35:02
doesn't go in our trucks and isn't exclusive to us also you're Audi so you
35:09
know not that I think Dodge and Audi really directly compete on it maybe
35:13
dodge would like to think so um let's go ahead and uh move a little bit further
35:18
down here this is cool so this was posted by masteria master
35:24
master 61 masteria 61
35:29
mustaf um it's uh off available
35:33
technologies. pnnl.gov what is that
35:39
pnnl pacific North National Laboratory
35:42
oh thank you all right I guess that was in the top left of the web page all
35:45
right so this is cool there's a 3D
35:48
printed microscope for mobile devices
35:52
and this maybe doesn't sound that amazing but I I I think it's pretty neat
35:57
um basically it costs about a dollar in materials it uses the same glass that is
36:02
apparently used on um airplane runways
36:06
and it can be made with magnification anywhere from a 100 times which is
36:10
enough for kids to take like microscope
36:14
pictures of you know flowers and salt grains and see them in great detail and
36:19
uh there's a 350 times version which is enough to identify parasites in blood
36:24
samples and there's even a 1,000 times me ification which is enough to see
36:29
individual Anthrax spores and plague cells so it's cheap aside from that
36:34
you'll probably need a 3D printer or to get that printed somewhere um and it's
36:40
designed to fit most brands of phones including Apple and Samsung cool I guess there's not a whole
36:45
lot else to say nope it's cool though there's a video that's cool so we could
36:50
go ahead and yeah no I I got this i got this bro I got this yeah uh so there's a
36:55
video where they have people talking and
36:58
then hopefully show it at some point where is it here we
37:02
go y yep for like one second we had
37:06
it that is some cool stuff like obviously that's a that's like a a slide
37:11
so like that's not how it'll work generally speaking but well you could
37:16
you could get a slide I guess you could you could keep a you could keep a slide
37:20
on your phone all the time no they're looking into a slide oh
37:25
they're looking into a makes sense yeah yeah yeah yeah that makes a lot more
37:29
sense that's 100 times or a thousand
37:33
times less completely stupid than what I thought was going on okay I was so
37:38
confused I'm a confusing guy all right
37:43
um this is a pretty this is a pretty quick one posted by Victorious secret uh
37:48
the source is sammobile.com
37:53
basically uh Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6
37:56
Edge are are suffering from poor lollipop RAM management so applications
38:02
that would normally be stored in RAM for instant switching between them are
38:06
actually just kind of crashing in the background and they have to be reloaded
38:10
into memory when you switch back to them the funny thing about it is phones have
38:14
gotten so fast in the last couple of years that throughout my entire time
38:19
with the X S6 Edge I totally didn't notice it um apparently certain
38:23
applications are more prone to it than others for example WhatsApp and chrome
38:28
are more prone to it than certain other applications that's not
38:32
surprising Chrome memory management is not
38:36
optimal surprising Chrome's like can I
38:39
have more more more please Chrome would probably love it you could flip in like
38:44
two desktop size RAM sticks to the back of your phone chome would just be like
38:49
yes it's about the right time why it not done
38:52
yet totally different type of memory it would be cool though um so yeah like
38:57
like uh it's funny I posted on uh I posted on Instagram last night that I
39:02
had switched over to the Predator monitor the IPS GNC monitor half of the
39:06
comments are just about how many tabs I had open on my Chrome browser people
39:10
were like no wonder he needs 32 gigs of RAM I literally at that time cuz I was
39:16
looking at these messages I was like oh I wonder how much RAM Chrome's using 17
39:20
gigs I was using 17 gigs with a single
39:23
instance of chrome just with all the tabs like people are like how do you get
39:29
that many tabs open in a single browsing session why do you guys ever close your
39:33
browsers yeah I don't even have a favorites bar anymore I don't have a
39:38
homepage I just restore my session it
39:41
clearly has everything I was doing last time that's what I was going to say is
39:45
even if they did close their browser if they had to restart to install a program or whatever you can just restore session
39:49
yeah everything comes back it as a notepad like I I will take sentences and
39:53
just type them in the search bar yeah just to save them just cuz I don't want
39:56
to open notepad or something and have the stupid idea there so I just have all
40:01
these Google searches of things exactly everyone's like why don't you use
40:04
Evernote I'm like why don't I open an email and draft it to
40:07
myself bam same deal Cloud syncing uh I
40:11
don't have to have another app on my phone I don't have to remember another
40:14
login I can quickly and conveniently send it to myself as a reminder for ler
40:20
or anyone else if someone's like hey can you send me that list it's just like all right sure I'm straight up terrible I
40:24
use my email as my calendar my notepad
40:28
my communication platform Google knows everything Google knows everything about
40:33
me baby that targeted advertising going you
40:37
know what I haven't seen an ad on the internet in 10 years not because I have
40:41
ad block because I simply don't see it it's pretty easy to not look I I I don't
40:46
understand okay no that's wrong I understand when people get really upset
40:50
about Internet ads because anything that downloads files onto my computer is a
40:54
big problem anything that plays through my headphones is a big problem these are
40:59
both big problems everything else I have
41:02
no idea it's there I don't know what the ad was I don't know where it was I don't
41:07
know what was on that page other than what I was looking for I don't
41:10
understand why people are looking at them speaking of which I guess we should
41:14
move on to our sponsors so our first sponsor of the day is linda.com for
41:19
those of you who aren't familiar with linda.com they're used by millions of
41:23
people around the world they offer more than 3,000 courses with all kinds of
41:28
topics like web development photography visual design business they have
41:32
software training for programs like Excel WordPress photoshop with how
41:36
prevalent Twitch streaming is becoming as an actual profession these days.com
41:40
for twitch they should have this is you know what they should this is an
41:45
opportunity you know here hold on hold on hold on that's a fantastic idea
41:48
actually yeah that is like that is one a
41:51
really good idea that's the best idea I've had today how to be like an online
41:55
personality because you should do it straight up you should teach that course
41:58
I know a lot of I know a lot of people with great personalities who if they
42:02
could get in front of an audience even it's not even just that though set up
42:06
right he yeah he can show them how to set it up right he can show them how to get stuff like stream tip working uh how
42:12
to get the different alert things working and everything else and like the
42:15
and and and because it's evolving so quickly that the new courses that come
42:20
out every week or two for for people who want to get into this are going to be
42:25
endless absolutely course absolutely endless there's always another
42:28
optimization tip there's always a change in the landscape that is so cool and I
42:32
think Linda pays the content creators if they're experts none of you do
42:39
this yeah I'm afraid that's not how ideas on the land show work they're just
42:44
kind of out there um so the idea is that all courses are taught by industry
42:48
experts so at least that eliminates a lot of the audience because you would
42:52
classify as an industry expert not necessarily everyone would and the idea
42:56
behind it is Linda helps you take your hobby to the next level helps you take
43:00
your career to the next level you can get a 10-day free trial just to try it

47:06
required to find out if you like their tools they have 24/7 tech support which
47:09
you do get to take advantage of even during your trial so hey find out if it
47:13
works for you and if it doesn't then I guess you don't have to use it but man
47:19
it's a heck of a lot better than anything else that we've used in terms
47:22
of easy website building tools so
47:25
there's that all right so why don't we go ahead and try to actually do this
47:31
show um posted by a Ming on the Forum
47:35
the IB times.co.uk article here says the US
47:41
Navy has invented bulletproof glass from
47:45
clay that could revolutionize screens
47:48
and lenses that is some cool stuff it is
47:53
made of uh what the devil is it made of made of magnesium illuminate it is so
47:58
much tougher stronger harder than glass it provides better protection and more
48:02
hostile environments it cannot crack it
48:05
can only chip because of the structure
48:08
of the material it the cracks cannot spread they're actually stopped by the
48:13
rest of the material sounds great when am I going to have it on my phone oh I
48:17
don't know 30 years because right now it's a military technology so good luck
48:23
getting your hands on this sounds cool and it's called spinal
48:28
spinel what spinel spinel sure it's
48:32
called spinel it's it's now spinel it might be spinal I'm surprised they even
48:37
told us about it because it's the Navy yeah I know oh it's 10 years old yeah
48:40
it's 10 years no no they've been researching it for the past 10 years so
48:44
the technology has been licensed to a company that has been able to make it in
48:49
larger quantities to suit any application and the NRL now plans to
48:53
share its production method with the rest of the US defense industry see so
48:56
how many times in that sentence it sounded like we were going to get it
48:59
didn't it when it comes out it'll be like Gorilla Glass versus bullet glass
49:05
bullet glass that'll be the coolest sounding fight ever I think a bullet
49:10
beats a gorilla probably I mean have you ever seen Congo mind you they had laser
49:14
guns so so no so
49:17
no but King Kong didn't they take him down with like
49:21
planes with mounted guns on it yeah so technically that's bullets but is it and
49:26
that's an intense gorilla is it really the bullet taking it down if the
49:30
velocity of the plane contributes to the
49:33
velocity of the bullet because would a gun mounted on the ground have been able
49:38
to take him down would it have been able to penetrate him or does the fact that it was mounted on the plane assist it I
49:44
don't think so I think it's the plane is moving so much slower yeah relative to
49:49
the speed of the bu you are moving so much slower dang it yes actually that is
49:53
why when you run forward your bullets don't do more damage
49:58
unless they do I would love to know I mean they're going faster relative so
50:02
they are going they are doing more damage it's just a very small amount
50:05
no oh do they code that into games yeah would would anyone code that into a game
50:10
would that would be amazing if they did I'll say that like I mean it wouldn't
50:13
work for something like a rail gun you know like if you're jumping around cuz
50:17
I'm thinking games where you're running like modern warfare or something it
50:20
makes no sense but in games where you had like jump off platforms like on real
50:23
or something like that you can tell how old I am best example I can come with uh
50:27
where you're moving legitimately fast sometimes past an opponent like if you
50:32
if you just one little extra hit point of damage yeah like can you can you like
50:36
cap someone with a single round of the machine gun and like you know Quake
50:39
three if you if you're moving fast enough super dumb yeah I know but okay
50:43
so the point is especially because like the velocity of the bullet if it's going
50:47
straight through then who cares and if it's a bullet that doesn't go straight
50:50
through and it's just designed to tear things up if you made it go faster and
50:53
it went through the other end it could do less damage you just had training oh
50:57
you know what's interesting this is something I didn't realize full metal
51:03
jacket so craters everything how do they work
51:08
magnets no um so okay and I'm sure you
51:13
guys are going to be like holy crap lonus you're an idiot and to you guys I
51:17
say cool I'm glad you knew this I didn't I didn't know how an object this size
51:22
could make a crater this big and I kind of went how the devil does that even
51:26
work basically it hits with such velocity that the stuff it hits gets the
51:32
kinetic energy and hits other stuff and I was like wow you dropped anything in a
51:36
pool that makes perfect sense now yeah well I didn't I never thought of dirt as
51:41
a fluid but I guess at that kind of a speed it could almost at that speed and
51:45
temperature it absolutely it absolutely would be never thought of dirt as a
51:48
fluid he knows a lot about the physics stuff that's cool you look like you do
51:52
you got kind of the brush to the side haird thing he has the brush to the side
51:56
hair going on and he knows more about physics than I do too not as much as him
52:00
though all right so let's move on to uh there's one week left in the hyperx
52:04
pimped out PC giveaway we actually did a video for a hyperx on this PC it's built
52:10
by our buddies over at BS mods those are
52:13
those are good guys Good Old Rod and Bob so you can win one of these it's at off
52:17
forpop.com apparently SL campaign
52:21
74147 I've never seen that before in a URL kind of weird yeah that's a new one
52:27
for me I learned all kinds of things today um oh this is amazing posted by
52:32
quty Warrior are we going to watch this I'm excited watch it again we got to we
52:35
got to watch this we got to watch the crap out of this so stunning re the
52:40
video title is stunning real time directx12 demo from Square Enix at build
52:48
2015 absolutely amazing so let's go
52:51
ahead and go to kind of the beginning here I'm going
52:55
to screen share with you guys I'm going to get my face out of
52:58
here uh blah blah blah looks cool right so this has got to
53:04
be a cut scene of course the video is lagging of course that's how it's going
53:09
to be that's how it's going to be when I try and do things you can see the fraps
53:14
uh counter in the corner there we go yeah when it fades to
53:20
Black so anyway there's a flyby
53:23
somewhere I think we lost the flyby um um yeah oh this is really
53:29
disappointing because I really wanted to show this better well you guys are going
53:32
to have to go check out the video on your own then but pretty much they start
53:36
panning the camera around and they're talking about that the hair is amazing
53:40
so the feathers are forget how many
53:43
polygons it was it was something absurd like 8 million polygons in the scene or
53:48
something something ridiculous like that um I can go to some of the stuff where
53:52
static is fine so showing the color of the skin so skin tone is something
53:57
that's extremely difficult to do because if you just make it a a flat surface an
54:03
opaque surface with a color it will never look like real skin because skin
54:07
has blood behind it and blood is red and so you without some translucency to the
54:13
top layer and some some some some blood
54:17
showing through and some some color showing through you're never going to get a natural skin tone and what's
54:22
Difficult about that is that you have to you have to handle the lighting in real
54:26
time in order to have moving objects or moving light sources that look realistic
54:31
this is bananas yeah is so they move around from
54:36
side to side that is being done in real time now it's being done in real time on
54:41
four Titan X's with an eight Core Extreme Edition so it's not exactly the
54:46
yeah it's not exactly the kind of rig that most people are going to have at
54:50
their house but this this one really blew me away every single of those hairs
54:58
what did I just do I right clicked every single one of those hairs is an
55:02
individual polygon that's crazy and is being rendered in real time and it looks
55:06
way better when it's actually running properly I really apologize for this
55:10
maybe if we don't run it full screen it'll it'll run a bit better I've seen
55:13
that before we've always had trouble with YouTube videos yeah I know I hate
55:18
that anyway you guys check it out it is so cool I mean it doesn't tell us
55:23
anything about the plot of the upcoming Final Fantasy what is this 15 or
55:27
something like that we're up to at this point it's probably terrible the game
55:31
playay might totally suck but the point
55:34
is man that looks amazing that's what devs are doing with direct X12 now which
55:40
means mainstream Hardware okay so we're
55:43
one gener the high-end card is generally one generation behind or uh okay two
55:50
high-end cards two premium cards is generally going to be about equivalent
55:54
to what our next gen single high-end card is Okay so we've got four of them
55:59
so we're going to have let's say the scaling is not perfect cuz it sure as
56:03
heck isn't let's say we get three times scaling so we are going to have in
56:07
probably two and a half Generations or so and the generations are anywhere from
56:10
12 to 18 months these days so in two and a half Generations so in anywhere from 3
56:14
to four years with a high-end single card we should be able to achieve that
56:20
let's say in four to four and a/2 years then a mainstream card is able to do
56:24
what a high-end card is able to do within about another two generations so
56:28
we're probably about s years away from that being what a a AAA title that you
56:35
might actually be expected to buy and run like that looks like cuz that demo
56:40
they can do that demo it's an engine they can do it in real time on that kind of a machine but when it comes out for
56:44
the you know peasant station whatever or
56:48
the or even even a high-end PC that's
56:51
going to be a cut scene that's not going to be something that you can manipulate
56:54
the camera and move the characters around and there's there's no way I mean they're they're controlling so many
56:58
things off camera like it's a limited scene they're only building up as much
57:03
of the landscape as they absolutely have to it's it's all in that character but
57:07
the point is they're able to do this in engine and probably you know 5 to eight
57:11
years from now we might be able to play a game like that in real
57:17
time that's incredible it's a lot of like napkin
57:21
math but yeah and my napkin math is not very reliable it's a lot of speaking of
57:26
unreliable napkin math the op here is D mule AMD has come out um I believe as of
57:33
yesterday and said that the freesync
57:37
crossfire driver update that they promised in April will not be coming in
57:43
April normally this wouldn't even be news I mean we don't like to report on
57:48
somebody delayed a driver
57:51
update uh that's not that's not really our stick that sounded awesome by the
57:55
way but the thing that bothers me about it is like did you not know that it
58:00
wasn't going to pass your QA testing until like the last day of the month you
58:05
said it was going to be a week ago but look at the mantle release they did the
58:08
same thing I know but like wasn't even
58:12
even worse sure it was worse I I think it was
58:16
pretty much the same thing like it I thought they announced after the date
58:19
that it was supposed to be announced on that it wasn't going to be able to happen it might have been the same day
58:23
or the last maybe it was the next day or two it was around the same time like
58:26
come on AMD and the reality of it is is
58:29
is this technology is way more complicated than the you know the fancy
58:34
press decks and our simple explanations
58:37
of it would have people believe syncing
58:41
the frame that the GPU generates with
58:44
the frame that displays on the monitor doing it with low latency doing it
58:48
reliably allowing that to vary with the
58:51
scene that the user is looking at as they you know whip the camera around
58:55
doing 6D no scopes or or or whatever
58:58
like you think about how little latency is involved in this it's extremely
59:02
complicated technology so being able to have two gpus communicate with each
59:06
other communicate with the monitor accept input from the user there's a
59:10
driver there's game engines there's all these varibles thrown into it it's no surprise that it's delayed I just don't
59:14
like the way this stuff is getting communicated like and and it's not like G is the only one and video with the
59:18
whole g-sync thing they're like yeah it's we're it's it's coming it's coming
59:22
it's coming it's coming it's coming it's coming it's coming it's coming it's coming like what we finally we finally
59:28
have gsync monitors I'm way too excited you do the next topic the Apple watch
59:31
cost $85 to make posted earlier when we were mentioning the Ragnarok D I'm going
59:37
to bring up the article on my screen you want to talk about this which one apple
59:40
yeah apple watch costs under 85 bucks to make according to apparently
59:46
$83.20 um that that includes the that
59:49
analysis does not include Logistics advertised Capital expenses overhead R&D
59:54
software IP licenses and other costs so
59:57
there's a lot of other costs that goes into that anyways most expensive
60:02
component is the LG display at $20.50 and next is the processor which
60:07
adds $10.20 seriously though other Capital
60:13
expenses overhead R&D software licensing
60:18
The Upfront cost of making a million of them Logistics shipping it at
60:23
all shipping it multiple times to ship all that stuff somewhere then they have
60:28
to actually make it then they have to ship that somewhere to a distribution center then they have to ship that
60:32
somewhere else and then they have to in some cases ship it to the user mind you you pay for that you
60:37
know forget Apple pay for that that
60:40
stage you can pay for the last leg um I
60:44
don't know if you bought an apple sport edition for 350 bucks are you mad that
60:48
it cost $85 bomb everything everything that you buy is
60:53
going to cost less than it's this is like pretty good though I mean even
60:57
compared to the iPhone which is I think they're making uh what does it cost like
61:02
250ish I think and they sell it for you know
61:06
$6.99 this is like they're making a killing on this thing man is Apple ever
61:10
happy that people are buying it's a fashion piece though like I don't know I wouldn't be surprised at all I I don't
61:15
know why people are surprised the the whole time like we've sat on the W show
61:18
other people have said it on forums and in their own reviews it's all over it's
61:22
a fashion piece you pay for fashion clothes does not cost remotely how much
61:27
clothes costs at all clothes is an insane overhead that's a good point and
61:31
do we have a right to get all
61:34
pissy I don't know no no it looks good
61:38
to us do do we have a whole bunch of people are saying that
61:42
it um oh apparently we're back we might
61:45
have dropped for like a second Oh weird appar so do we have any right to get all
61:51
pissy about Straight Up luxury right we always have a right straight up luxury
61:56
items costing a lot you literally don't need one for anything it's not like
62:00
apple makes food you always have a right to be pissy I think we know what kind of
62:04
food they'd make uh it's not like apple it's not like
62:08
apple makes food and is asking for 400%
62:12
margin on it and celery and broccoli they're making watches that are actually
62:18
not even that functional um like yes they have functions but but none of them
62:24
really essential you know you don't you don't need it and and and and it's it's
62:29
an accessory for something that you already apparently have the money to
62:32
drop you know 600 700 800 I mean top end
62:36
top end iPhones can be around $1,000 for the high capacity ones so should they
62:41
feel bad about taking their margin if people are willing to pay it I don't
62:45
know I like I don't like it but I don't have to buy one it's that simple you
62:50
don't and I'm not going to buy one I will I do have to buy one I should
62:54
probably review it at some point and Lord knows Apple's not going to send me an Apple Watch no not at
62:59
all why not lus things Apple won't do
63:03
look at this thing that's super stupid that please send me one you have to
63:07
gesture to see the time that's
63:11
silly what's up with airplane
63:14
food anyway they call their company Apple they don't even grow any
63:19
apples all right what are we doing next I don't know I have to pee I had this
63:25
entire thing to drink so yeah I'll be
63:28
back give me a moment I'm going to post this to Twitch chat and then I'll talk
63:31
about it give me a second guys okay whoop so apparently steam is allowing
63:37
developers to ban users from their games which uh kind of already thought that
63:42
was a thing but anyways you can ban misbehaving or cheating or just
63:46
disagreeing with the developer that last part is a wow I actually had never read
63:51
that before I was banned from what it
63:54
was a test though so one of my developer friends we were just we were just
63:57
playing around and testing to make sure it worked totally works and it's like
64:01
you're instantly banned you're instantly banned okay yeah
64:05
um break it yeah that's that's a good
64:09
point it's pretty fragile right now maybe I just did break it we'll figure
64:12
that out later it's so oh wow so you can literally ban people for no reason yeah
64:17
and do you have to support it at all I don't think so like from my I mean but
64:21
you have to think of it it's in the best interest of the developers to only ban
64:25
people people that are actually causing an issu so I think that's sort of what
64:30
they're going off of that it's sort of going to be a self cleaning system by
64:33
that way and I guess that's if you're using like it's for I think it's because
64:38
there's so many multiplayer games right now on Steam and they just want to be
64:41
able to ban but if that developer was running their own servers wouldn't they
64:45
have been able to ban the person anyways or does it ban them from like
64:49
launching the game yeah it does ban you from launching the game like you can't
64:52
you can't get in the game at all you can't launch it at all wow interesting
64:56
huh I could see yeah you're right about
64:59
that it's in their best interest to not ban everyone I could see some like really small shitty company making the
65:04
wrong move of like Banning everyone that speaks out on a forum against their game
65:09
someone's like oh Bad Rats is a terrible steam game and then Bad Rats developers
65:14
just start Banning everyone that says that because it's a terrible steam game
65:17
I would ban people that said that my steam game was bad I would ban them for
65:21
their honesty sorry what are we talking about that oh cool so terrible small
65:25
developers I did good would potentially be a problem so one in the twitch chat
65:30
was like oh my God lus is wearing his glasses wrong what what do you mean
65:35
wrong how's that wrong how am I supposed to wear them they're should I have the
65:39
people got all mad that one time hate that yeah exactly yeah so should you did
65:44
a whole show like that you prefer that yeah wow you prefer this is that better
65:47
I don't know why they were mad is it cuz your hair could scratch the lenses we've
65:51
had this conversation there is no non-d douchy way to wear sport sunglasses it's
65:55
it's impossible it's true so you might as well just look like a douche and
65:58
accept that I'm okay with it they stay on my head this is why I wear them
66:03
speaking of douches Canen officially ends relationship with one plus which
66:08
one of them is a douche both I don't know I mean Cen seems to be like mostly
66:13
standup guys I mean they're trying to I don't know anything about them they're trying to take back Android essentially
66:18
they're trying to they're trying to make it less about the Google experience and
66:21
more about the Cen experience which wow
66:25
I mean I I personally welcome our evil Cyanogen
66:29
overlords yeah replace them for our evil Google overlords anyway do you you give
66:33
all of your information to Google we were talking about this earlier in the show yeah I know so I'll give all my
66:37
information to Cyanogen too there you go there you go I'll give everyone everything everyone has your information
66:42
there's no reason for anyone to profit off your information you're going around the
66:47
whole thing you are no longer the product because everyone has you this is
66:51
a whole new paradigm guys the real privacy is no privacy
66:56
at all brilliant brilliant if we give them everything no one will want it yeah
67:01
so you can take down Google by making sure that Google and everyone else has
67:06
literally everything they could ever want to know about you I think it's a
67:10
matter of time until someone remember um
67:14
that that concept that I've talked about before actually okay great example of
67:18
this would be at the NVIDIA uh g-sync launch event I had a backpack with a
67:23
laptop in it and I had a Wi-Fi connection to the hot spot in the conference room I had an HDMI cable uh
67:29
running off of my camcorder into a capture card into the laptop so I was
67:33
like live reporting like I was live streaming okay I think it's a matter of
67:38
time until someone does a Truman Show
67:41
until someone voluntarily live streams
67:44
their entire life that's the that's how Justin TV started Justin did that that's
67:49
that is exactly what Justin TV is I didn't know for how long uh for it was
67:53
like I think it was like over a year maybe though maybe not peeing I don't
67:58
know about I don't know I don't know how in depth it was somebody in chat must
68:02
know I think someone will do the whole
68:06
thing was the Truman Show peeing was the Truman Show I don't think
68:10
so no I meant like Truman Show Truman Show was like they had a camera crew and
68:14
like they made they kept it PG like they kept it family safe I think someone's
68:19
going to do a totally not family safe basically Justin just had a helmet on
68:22
his head and he life streamed his entire life people are like that's the exact
68:27
opposite of The Truman Show The Truman Show wasn't voluntary I I know I've seen
68:32
the movie I love Jim car I mean I did it he's Canadian my junior project for my
68:36
honors stuff in college I had this thing where I had to have a camera on me for
68:40
22 hours a day 22 hours a day for three months it was awful it was just it was
68:46
my own experiment of what is it like to have no privacy it was horrible what is
68:51
it what is the what is those two hours did he use it to
68:55
things I mean you know you needed two hours a day to Fat no no there was for
69:01
example one of my one of my professors said no to me filming it for examp oh
69:04
wow and then yeah just other so you got
69:07
your like two hours or whatever sure two two hours of FAP time is probably what
69:12
everybody watching this right now does yeah I was just I'm pretty sure it's
69:16
during this show best I mean if we're going to go if
69:20
we're going to go completely off the deep end here then we might as well oh I
69:24
have camera but I like covered it completely in wax paper so technically I
69:28
was on camera but it was just like blob of nothing yeah holy crap but it was
69:33
there and every day my worry was that wax paper is going to you know fall off
69:38
and like it's like ultimate paranoia and this was for three so did you hand this
69:42
in or like what yeah yeah I mean I wrote a did anyone watch three months worth of
69:46
video it ended up getting like oh yeah at the end there were probably like 50
69:50
or 60 people watching at any given time it was really creepy oh you streamed
69:54
this whole this was live yeah this was live I thought this was local Rec
69:58
recorded this was legit live okay well there you go you you've done it it was
70:03
awful so you're not saying you don't endorse it I do not endorse it but like
70:08
of course I wasn't showing people my tax forms and everything which is kind of
70:12
like if you're going to show it all show it all kind of thing you know holy crap
70:16
I guess it would be hard to steal the identity of someone that everyone knows
70:20
the Chinese government would love you they would well I also muted it so it
70:23
was it was completely mute it was just visual okay and so so if you ever wanted
70:28
to interact with the audience did you mine uh did you ever there was no chat
70:33
room did you were you doing like gaming Twitch streaming at that point no no no
70:37
no no this is way before I think this is this is basically I was inspired by
70:41
Chris pillo when he doing his thing okay so here's a
70:45
question Bob well it's not a question Bob De builda you got to learn how to
70:49
ask a question okay so he says wow no wonder seus knows how to do everything
70:53
on camera a I'm not going to ask what exactly Bob De Builder means by that and
70:59
B do you think you learned some camera
71:02
presence or I think I did CU I was at towards once I stopped getting over the
71:07
paranoia because you do you kind of get used to it right it's almost like
71:10
stockhom me a little bit right you get used to the cameras being there and
71:14
they're part of your life and it's this weird stock I don't think ceras we can't
71:19
compare it to that it's okay yeah it's it's okay you're not Immortal Peril I I
71:23
get used to the cameras right like I just so used to it and whatnot and so
71:27
then I would start being like actually this shot would look better if I was framed differently and it's like you get
71:33
into it being just part of your life wow such that you want it to be
71:39
better interesting really weird so what
71:42
you're saying is that I no this is so cool that would be linda.com lesson
71:46
number one from s film yourself for 3
71:49
months broadcast it on the internet now you have nothing to hide get completely
71:52
comfortable with being in front of a camera yeah that's for sure that happened I was camera shy like
71:56
completely camera shy before that interesting so that sounds a lot more
72:01
like an endorsement
72:06
then oh my goodness okay I've got someone asking what stock St k h o m
72:13
syndrome is actually it's Stockholm like the place and it refers to the unusual
72:20
well not unusual it's actually apparently fairly common but the the
72:23
strange uh Bond can form between a a
72:27
prisoner and the person keeping him or her captive um so so the the syndrome is
72:32
the person who feels like they're bonding with their captor that's
72:36
Stockholm syndrome I I really don't know how applicable that is to a camera
72:39
you're pointing at yourself I bonded with the camera like I wanted it to be
72:42
better bonded with the camera um do we
72:45
have do we have anything else today that's like really newsworthy we can
72:49
look I don't think the Microsoft is apparently giving 15,000 people who to
72:54
people who security flaws in Spartan up to up to up up minimum is 500 bounties
73:00
will be paid out by at their discretion I don't really think that's news in fact
73:03
I think you can get bounties for reporting bugs and an awful lot of things Tesla is doing something like
73:08
that yeah it's it's like pretty common practice very common yeah but Microsoft
73:13
really wants Spartan to be secure so that's cool that's good you can now
73:17
embed classic games in your tweets if you thought that that needed to be there
73:22
and that even mean if that was something something that you thought that it was
73:28
important so seriously what does that even mean um I think I think here hold
73:33
on the internet archive done an amazing job blah blah blah have covered everything from MS DOS games to titles
73:38
from arcades now you don't have to leave Twitter to play some of them so apparently you can play games like where
73:42
in the World is Carmen San Diego from within your browser within play Oregon
73:46
Trail Oregon Trail is actually a pretty good
73:49
game no I I agree that's cool that you can do it on Twitter okay I thought I
73:54
thought you were giving me crap or I agree cuz if you're going to like
73:58
be down on Oregan Trail then you can leave going you be kicked out it's very
74:02
simple Oregon Trail is Untouchable here
74:05
have you played uh organ
74:08
Trails it's actually pretty fun it's not bad I like it it's all right did you
74:12
ever do Yukon Trail no I never played Yukon Trail yeah Yukon Trail I think
74:16
it's kind of a sequel to Oregon Trail and it's the gold brush and it's like
74:20
straight up not as good but it's newer
74:24
okay I just remember playing Oregon Trail like back in third grade or something sticking the discs in and
74:29
waiting it for it to load so great I think my favorite disc game oh I no I
74:35
got I had TIE fighter on on floppy disc so like that's that's got to be it but I
74:39
had Dino Park Tycoon on two three and 1 half inch floppies and that was that
74:44
game there was no Rhyme or Reason whatsoever basically like I played that
74:49
game enough it Dino Park Tycoon was pretty much just random dice rolls in
74:54
the background deciding whether people came to your park or not it's like straight up you could play it EXA no AI
75:00
you could play it exactly the same way you could build exactly the same park
75:03
and just like you could you could invest all your money and buy all the things
75:07
and just cars wouldn't show up in the parking lot and like I'm sitting here
75:12
going I have dinosaurs in my Park and you can't bring your freaking kids to
75:17
come and see a Tyrannosaurus Rex I have a
75:21
tyrannosaurus and you're not going to bother I'm putting in the effort is this
75:26
relationship not a two-way street when was the last time you went to the
75:29
Vancouver Zoo there's no dinosaurs at the Vancouver Zoo I know but I'm thank
75:33
you I'm just saying they're putting in effort okay Vancouver Vancouver Zoo is a
75:39
not in Vancouver yes it's in abbottford but it's called van which is the middle
75:43
of nowhere isn't it I think it's called The Vancouver Zoo yeah it's called The Vancouver Zoo yeah but you're right it's
75:47
not a Vancouver it's in the middle of nowhere B I actually went there 3 years
75:52
ago and I've been to science work like
75:55
four times in the last year heard of Science World After Dark I've heard of
75:59
it sence super want to go to did you see the like giant golf ball kind of thing
76:04
at all no no I can I can show you stuff about it it's like a it's a world of
76:09
science it's a place you can go and there's sciency things they try to it's mainly like kid Focus they'll try to
76:13
teach you pull yourself up with a pulley and then you can try a more complex
76:17
pulley and it's easier but you pull more rope right that kind of stuff basic
76:20
physics experiments stuff like that they
76:23
show like little bugs and stuff I don't know it's pretty cool but there's they
76:27
have first spot here no no there's
76:31
there's there's this thing they have called Science World After Dark um and
76:35
you can go and they like serve drinks and there's more like adult themed like
76:38
you you can pair up into teams have adult drinks yes oh wow yeah um you can
76:43
pair up into teams and um they'll have
76:47
like inventor challenges so they'll give you like a a bucket full of stuff and
76:50
everyone gets the same bucket full of stuff you have to invent something out make something out of it that's cool
76:54
pretty cool I haven't been yet I want to go though all right so this is actually
76:59
a pretty important question uh we've had an internal debate over here at lonus
77:04
Media Group for uh months you know what
77:08
no no I'm going to no I'm just going to I'm just going to I'm just going to ask them because the decision's not made so
77:14
I mean but this isn't asking the proper question what do you mean it's not asking the proper question of course
77:18
there be everyone be like yeah cool yeah I haven't talked yet okay so basically
77:23
oh quite a while ago we had talked about doing like LT themed fans like not not
77:30
like viewers like like computer C comp computer computer cans you typ in the
77:35
question I was like Mac Pro how does that work um so uh
77:41
so that joke never gets old um so we had
77:44
talked about doing LT themed like colored so like our black and orange
77:48
theme fans and there is has been a lot
77:52
of debate internally about like which one would we choose uh if we're putting
77:57
our name on it then does that completely take away all of our credibility to
78:03
important this is a really important question does it take away all the credibility that you guys see us as
78:08
having whenever we look at any other fan would you still trust us to objectively
78:13
you know evaluate a fan not that we've actually done it in over a year but
78:17
people that make fans often make coolers and other products so does it create any
78:22
weirdness for you guys um if we do that
78:26
and and this is this is something I I I'm I'm not posting the straw pole yet
78:30
because I want you guys to think about it for a second it's actually important
78:33
don't just be like holy crap yeah I'd love to have a you know a fan with alius
78:36
tech tips logo on it or whatever else the case may be we need to know if you
78:39
guys if you guys trust us to do something like this and it's not decided
78:44
at this time if it would be a limited edition thing like if we do it as a one
78:48
shot sort of hey if you want an LTT fan here it is you don't want it it's gone
78:53
or if we would do something like this on an ongoing basis what I can say is that
78:57
we have no intention of putting our name on anything that we believe to be not
79:02
fantastic quality and fantastic fastic
79:06
performance I'm going to post the poll now so I want you guys to tell me what
79:11
you think honestly because this will impact the decision um and and it's
79:17
something that we don't we can't all agree on we're not sure I think we need
79:23
to is this like I want I want the archive viewers to vote on this as well
79:29
how do you do that I guess they could if they go to straw. 42545 60 they could
79:35
SLR someone please post that in the comments of the YouTube video Yeah and
79:40
hopefully in the description hopefully people will vote it up Fred is Fred is
79:44
down right down there with no um so anyway I'll let you guys I'll let you
79:48
guys go ahead and well I guess there's not really much left that's pretty much the show yeah right so we'll go ahead
79:54
and uh I'll do this again you know what's really funny is the cord from the
80:00
mouse that wasn't working is laying across the mouse that I'm using so
80:04
whenever I put it down when I'm done sometimes I put it on top of the cord so
80:08
when I first go to move the mouse the cursor doesn't move and I'm like no no
80:11
we lost another mouse today I've been talking so much today I've lost my voice
80:17
I can't handle this anymore um but that's not W that was a
80:21
pretty aggressive reaction not what happened yeah well it's all happened it
80:24
kind of did I'm internalizing it I'm internalizing the reaction right I'm a
80:29
very internal person except that was an extremely external I'm not very
80:34
outgoing
80:38
what why Fred why Fred oh I don't know I
80:41
just picked something that's how my mind works is
80:44
this poll whether they're going to buy it or not or just whether they're interested whether they think we should
80:49
yeah yeah that's just just should should we should you do yeah because it's it's
80:53
one of those things where you know one I think a really good point
80:57
that was brought up against it was that even though we haven't done a fan review
81:03
in I don't even I don't even know fans are extremely closely related to coolers
81:08
they they cost it it it would cost us over $50,000 for the machine to review fans
81:14
straight up there's other ways you can evaluate them you can evaluate them in
81:17
terms of how well they perform on a cooler so you can have a an anaco
81:21
chamber even just a little one you can control the temperature in there you can
81:25
measure the temperature of a known heat load and then you can measure the
81:30
acoustic performance of The Fan this you can do but to really get a pressure
81:35
curve from a fan you need a multiple tens of thousands of dollars piece of
81:39
equipment I've seen one once in a real
81:42
lab so basically unless you're kind of
81:46
going okay uh we're evaluating its performance on this particular cooler or
81:52
radiator and we measuring sound unless
81:56
that's the way the review is being presented it straight up isn't giving
81:59
you the entire picture of how the fan performs so so there's that fan reviews
82:03
are extremely difficult extremely expensive it's very unlikely we'll ever get back into them
82:08
but fans are incredibly closely related to and the companies that make fans are
82:13
often the same companies as things like CPU coolers and power suppli and other
82:18
categories like power supplies I mean with that said you know I would love to
82:22
see the LTT fan end up in in like a really great power supply even if those
82:26
might not be the same company I suspect that the company the separate companies
82:31
you know that own those two products wouldn't want each other's products
82:34
Associated and all that kind of stuff basically the only reason I would ever
82:38
want to put our name on anything is because I would want it to be hey I
82:42
really like our color scheme and it's an ego boost for me to see stuff that has
82:46
my name bo for it is that is 100% of
82:49
like we we're sitting here talking about doing this and lus is like I really want
82:53
to do it when spins like why does he really want to do it picture on it when
82:57
it spins we should you know those bicycle wheels where you can have the image show on the wheel I wanted to I be
83:03
so cool he just wants it to say Linus not even lonus Tech tips not L I want no
83:07
I wanted to say lonus Tech tips lonus is cool it's not going to say that it could
83:13
say that as you spin it up it like changes phrases I could have Ed forward
83:18
me the artwork lus is a very nice person and if I could operate illust there
83:22
could be software for it that could send to the fan and change what it's going to
83:26
display by LEDs like little tiny LEDs in there yeah and if you type lonus on your
83:30
computer a good idea actually then like you could get like a little like like
83:35
picture that pops up on your phone that's sent from your fan it would be
83:38
like you could connect via Bluetooth to the fan they're like the lonus motivating fans not even the not even
83:43
like the user motivating fans just every once in a while it's like lonus is a
83:46
good person just so that they know has a
83:50
speaker should have a speaker built into it with your voice I am a good person we
83:56
could go full on like the chinoco man South Park episode so while you're
83:59
