yeah you have to post like okay all right so are we live so the real
0:05
question we should be asking ourselves right now um aside from why is line is
0:09
streaming from the nerd Fusion Studio here in Seattle is why is it that with a
0:15
supposed professional streamer in a supposed professional streaming Studio I
0:20
still can't start the show on time well we were filming you want me to
0:24
answer that go ahead man hit me with I can take
0:27
the blink Hit Me With Your Best Shot Hit Me With Your Best Shot I mean it could
0:30
be because we were filming until 10 minutes after we were supposed to be live okay a non live yes that that could
0:37
have had something to do with it so yeah actually I I guess I'll I'll answer the
0:41
other the other burning question on everyone's Minds why the hell am I here
0:44
and the answer is we are down here filming a collab with Matt seus from
0:49
nerd Fusion we are actually installing that server that we live streamed the
0:53
build of like a month ago about a month ago yeah was about a
0:58
month ago so we were going to ship it down here but it kept I kept not getting
1:04
around to fixing the problems that he caused when he installed an extra
1:09
motherboard standoff which I'm pretty sure I didn't do
1:13
that what I think it was already in there I just sort of okay so for those
1:18
of you who watched the live stream you probably saw me ask not one not two but
1:25
at least three times are you sure are
1:29
you sure you don't have an extra motherboard standoff and the thing
1:32
wouldn't post when he left the office so I was stuck diagnosing it by myself
1:38
after hours at my office after hours at
1:41
my office I was diagnosing it by myself it added drama it added no drama we
1:46
weren't filming no one got to experience there's
1:49
drama right now no one got to experience the drama in real time and isn't that
1:55
everything I want this to be the the the
1:58
linest troll now where everybody who visits your studio just installs an
2:02
extra standoff so anyway we were lucky okay so
2:08
some of the uh some of the solder points at the back of one of the RAM slots are
2:13
actually like bent over from the motherboard being did I send you the
2:16
picture you did and it's fine you did it's fine it works so it's fine okay so
2:21
it works now so we're down here we installed it we're going to have a video
2:25
coming very soon where we tell you guys exactly what the crap a bunch of twitch
2:29
streamers need a like $155,000 server in
2:32
their closet for that's about what that thing cost you know I mean those CPUs
2:36
alone are like four four grand Plus or something like that yeah so uh okay so
2:40
we're we're going to get that going we've also got a bunch of great topics for you guys today including but not
2:45
limited to uh the Galaxy Note 7 which I
2:50
posted a a very glowing review of I
2:54
still use it last night well yours didn't explode how great would it be if
2:58
it happened on camera though well using it's okay just don't try to charge it oh
3:02
that's what it is right right okay no problem so we'll talk a little bit about
3:06
why the shipments have been suspended and a recall notice has been issued for
3:11
the Note 7 uh we are also going to have probably I imagine this will be one of
3:15
our longer discussions a chat about YouTube being accused of censoring
3:20
vloggers the EU has demanded that Apple pay 13 billion plus interest in taxes
3:27
owed to Ireland and and a lot of you
3:31
have been asking me for this up until now I have maintained my silence we will
3:34
be talking about the tech Syndicate
3:37
controversy um something that has been very much a developing story that I
3:41
haven't looked at today so my information may actually be out of date but hey let's face it you don't watch
3:46
The W show for the absolute latest in news because a lot of it is from like
3:50
the previous Saturday let's roll the intro that's a shining endorsement I
3:55
don't even know why anyone watches this show could be watching literally
4:00
anything else right now but you tuned in
4:03
you tuned in here and we appreciate that we
4:12
do yeah what you show you show the time
4:16
in the intro why would why would a motherboard standof kill a motherboard
4:20
just cuz it was ball bent because it was in the wrong spot what what cuz there
4:24
was no hole there there was no hole there and oh oh wow well that's a
4:29
mistake I mean it wasn't that big of a deal well well it didn't end up being
4:33
that big of a deal as someone who speaks from experience okay I'm not going to
4:37
claim I've never done it you can kill motherboards that way have you done this
4:42
we were lucky we could have also killed a dim because that standoff would have
4:45
been shorting out those solder points under the memory slot and we had that
4:49
dim installed so luckily that dim works the server works but um well there you
4:54
go all right so I've got pretty much everyone in the twitch chat um accusing
4:58
us of this being an archived stream it is in fact an archive stream so you guys
5:03
you guys are honest I mean it's not even like me addressing the people saying the
5:07
stream is archived is proof of any sort that this is not an archive stream
5:11
because that happens all the time yeah you're just really smart I could totally
5:15
fake that at any given moment and there would be a message in twitch chat saying
5:19
that it's archive so well you guys are on to us I think this is the first thing
5:22
that's actually been pre-recorded in this room ever yep so we're setting all
5:27
kinds of twitch terms of service viol today maybe we should start whipping out
5:32
the so if you whip out a nipple on mytch
5:37
channel who's in trouble you are I am so
5:40
I'm responsible for your actions unate completely it's very unfortunate for you
5:46
uh the other big thing people are demanding to know is where the crap is Luke he's actually on the pack show
5:50
Floor Covering all kinds of cool stuff including but not limited to I heard a
5:55
rumor that somewhere on the show floor there is a working C Lake sample so uh
6:02
for those of you who don't know which is probably just you actually sorry Taran
6:06
so for those of you who don't know that is Intel's upcoming CPU architecture the
6:10
successor to Sky is only a it like behind the scenes people can see it or
6:15
like well it depends how obnoxious you are when you walk into the
6:19
booth so if you're the kind of person who takes a Behind Closed Do's demo
6:24
kicks the door down grabs the product and points a camera at it then you might
6:28
have footage of it before anyone else does is that what you did that is the
6:32
kind of publication we are yes my friend so uh consider it not a rumor um there
6:38
will be there will be a video so KB KB lake is coming um so so
6:45
anyway Luke's on the floor there all kinds of great stuff Logitech has their new
6:49
$69 across the board set of gaming peripherals that they're showing off um
6:53
I think we should do a $69 PC build
6:56
they're really doing 69 yeah the mouse is 6
7:00
ke9 yeah you can spill they spilled a whole they spilled a whole beer on it
7:04
during the party really yeah oh I wasn't there yeah it's like it's like a beer
7:09
prooof keyboard for $69 really yeah
7:13
that's very cool you know what's really funny is the only time I've ever really
7:16
seen that in the past is on Lenovo
7:19
thinkpads IBM used to have uh used to have spillproof keyboards they actually
7:23
had drainage built into the keyboard so that if you spilled an entire like cup
7:27
of coffee on it it would actually drain out the bottom of the laptop and bypass
7:31
all these sensitive internals oh wow probably still sticky though very yeah
7:35
yeah probably still sticky I mean coffee is not ideal but especially if it was
7:38
water you'd be okay but I mean by S sort of my Logic for something like that is
7:42
that well hey if you can spill coffee down it you can probably spill isopr
7:45
down it and then you can relieve the stickiness that way right you know now
7:50
you're thinking with portals a Kleenex wait sorry what are we talking about
7:55
what um okay so why don't we jump into our first topic here I with her
7:58
yesterday this this one is going to be this one is going to be a lius and Matt
8:03
top Matt or seus do you care more people
8:06
call me Matt nowadays actually than seus which is surprising you know what's
8:09
funny is we used to do something similar at LMG so I've always gone by yeah I've
8:14
always gone by lonus because um not because I thought it was a good idea but
8:19
because I didn't have the foresight to use a fake name I actually have a lot of
8:22
people accuse me of lus being a fake name and I kind of go that would have
8:26
been smart it's a really good fake name
8:29
it is maybe it really is fake I've seen I've seen the ultimate troll yeah right
8:33
here I've seen really angry posts under our videos about how I'm trading on the
8:39
fame of of Linus tals by who is that
8:43
really really linis well he's Swedish so
8:47
that's how they pronounce it all right listen I only know
8:51
Americans if a if it ain't from America
8:55
then it can just get out get out of here well that would be both of us yeah uh so
9:00
all right peace bye I can do this you're
9:03
from America so yeah that's true I'm actually American yeah um so so yeah
9:09
I've had people angrily say I'm just like trading on the fame of Linus tals
9:13
in order to get my name out there more I'm like no no actually I wasn't smart enough to do anything like that um but
9:18
when we added people so my original camera guy at NCIX who also did all the
9:23
editing uh who still works there and whose name is still a secret he is just
9:27
the cameraman the Mac guy to my pcness TR me from behind the camera um
9:34
he just didn't want his name or his personality out there so we called him
9:37
the cameraman and we had all this great banter between me and the cameraman who
9:42
was like like this like Stig you know like no one knew who he was uh every
9:46
once in a while you might see kind of like a reflection in a camera so so we
9:50
had like a whole Wilson thing going on and that was where
9:54
the nickname thing came from does nobody know who it is really no one knows who
9:57
it is I mean I do no this the challenge I don't know you will have no way of
10:01
guessing you would have no way it's not someone who currently works for you no
10:04
no they still work at NC okay yeah and they're behind the scenes you would have
10:08
no way of knowing so anyway when Luke joined I kind of went okay well I want
10:13
to keep up this like the off camera people have these nicknames in personas
10:17
thing because it had worked really well like the banter was great um so we were
10:21
like okay your nickname is slick because
10:25
your PC is oil cooled you're like oil PC
10:28
wasn't it that's right um and then Ed
10:32
was diesel because I could never remember his name at the
10:36
beginning and like and he looks nothing like Vin Diesel and he looks nothing
10:41
like Vin Diesel um and then Brandon was b-roll for Fairly obvious reasons that's
10:46
a good one and so we had all of and then I never got one and you never got one
10:50
because it was around that time I think that those guys were just like this is
10:54
stupid we should just use our real names and I think the audience likes it better
10:57
too so we just we just got away from it and now everyone just uses their real
11:00
names so that was I don't remember where I was going with this story right so
11:04
you're more Matt now so maybe that's the new thing maybe people don't like
11:07
nicknames anymore I don't know if that's true I think it's because I do more
11:11
businessyoutube
11:29
question there we go you can ask me a question W people like fight like to try
11:33
to be first to you always say like somebody oh this person posted first on
11:38
the Forum right is there like right when news like this hits like 10 articles
11:43
that they're praying that you're going to shout them out on the W show I don't
11:46
think it's that intense I think that I think it's I think it's six And1 half it
11:50
doesn't any the other so I think some people do like the opportunity to have
11:53
the shout out on the W show but we're not consistent enough about remembering
11:56
to call it out for for I think people to
12:00
be really that that into that but people
12:03
do like especially the major contributors within the tech news and
12:07
reviews from around the web for for Section I think people do like to be
12:12
like a major contributor and they do like people commenting on their posts
12:15
and and that discussion happening so yeah when something major breaks I get
12:19
like 95% of my tech news from my own
12:23
Forum all I have to do is go online as Tech forum and if people are talking
12:27
about it it's important and if it's not on there it's probably not important
12:31
that's that's actually been my rule of the thumb for like the last 2 years I
12:35
like it yeah it's great Outsource it to the audience so there you have it Galaxy
12:40
Note 7 shipments suspended over reports
12:43
of exploding units now I'm glad I didn't bring mine I actually um I okay so this
12:48
is this is funny now normally when I do a review if I have a review unit die I
12:55
actually don't bring it up I will let it slide once especially if the review unit
13:00
dies in a way that is different from you
13:04
sort of any other reports that I'm seeing um or if it if or if it's
13:08
something that really looks like a fluke so mine died but it didn't explode if it
13:13
the battery had exploded your I died my
13:16
first Note 7 died wow so what what happened was my nan flash went um and
13:21
like I I and so I normally like I my general policy is I don't mention a
13:25
failure unless it's a failure that I can that I can identif ify as something that
13:30
should have been preventable um with better design and something like Nan
13:34
flash Nan flash can die that can happen
13:37
that's not a knock against an Intel SSD anymore than it is a knock against a
13:41
Samsung phone stuff can happen even if your RMA rate is
13:45
0.1% that still means that one out of every thousand units
13:49
dies and and and to be to like to be
13:53
completely transparent with you guys like from being on the other side of the
13:56
IT industry the sales side of it RMA rates from the you know 1 to 3% range
14:03
are considered very good um with
14:06
anything above 5% considered to be getting pretty bad so that should give
14:10
you some idea of what your odds are I mean that's one of the reasons that companies charge to put together a
14:15
computer for you because by the time you put eight components into a system if
14:20
you've got about a 3 to 5% failure rate on any given one of them the odds of
14:23
having a 101 is actually not that bad just something to something to
14:28
consider that's a reason that a lot of people I know who know how to build a computer actually do pay for someone
14:33
else to assemble it for them um where there's a warehouse of replacement parts
14:37
in the back if something does go wrong interesting so anyway so mine actually
14:42
did die um which I don't remember what the point of me bringing up was I've
14:47
showered with mine but and there's been no problems you you okay right so that's
14:51
the reason I don't have mine with me so I'm actually cuz I'm planning to use it
14:55
as a daily driver so I'm rocking the regular S7 and then that's got my
14:59
Canadian Sim and I've got my us Sim and my iPhone 6s yeah I I didn't know who
15:04
was calling me earlier I was like do I answer this yeah sorry about that yes
15:07
yes that was me it was not a phone number leak um you know not that I speak
15:12
from experience about that I actually have a new phone number now that is not
15:15
anywhere so go lus all right um so so
15:20
anyway yeah so it would be great if this thing it can't you said it has to be
15:23
charging for it to and by the way this word explode have you seen the pictures
15:28
of it like when I think of the word explode I think of let's go yeah yeah
15:33
it's more like expanded and like smoke coming out not
15:39
in the picture I saw it was just like fatter it was like a little bit of lava
15:43
leaked out yeah like that's a battery thing right yeah like lithium batteries
15:47
will will will do they'll do that let me see I guess it's an explosion it's not
15:53
like a boom I want to see if I can find a picture so we can show you guys uh so
15:57
you can we can show you guys here blah blah blah blah blah blah yeah can't
16:03
find it right now yeah anyway so not really the point but they have suspended
16:07
shipments of the phone to various South Korean telecoms uh due to reports of
16:13
exploding Galaxy Note 7s which is a real
16:17
shame because I think it puts customers who are very happy with their purchase
16:21
of the phone like I'm incredibly happy um in a pretty awkward position cuz what
16:25
are like what can you do as aall now so what I'm doing is is I think in most of
16:31
the American carriers you have until the end of the month to go give it to them
16:36
in which they will swap it out for something of similar quality right
16:42
there's a way that they put it and then whenever they get shipments back in
16:47
whenever Samsung actually start sending
16:50
things then I'll be able to go pick up
16:53
you know pick it up again when I don't know if I'm going to
16:58
do it but I mean what my goal is to wait it out and hope that within the next 30
17:02
days shipments come in so I can just go and swap rather than having to go to
17:07
some lesser peon of a phone this is such
17:10
a crappy position for Samsung to be in right now because there's a couple
17:14
things that were really going great for them on the Note 7 apparently the blue
17:18
color which is actually what you ended up with the blue color has just been
17:22
phenomenally popular um so Samsung Canada was saying that by far it was the
17:27
most pre-ordered color um even though sex even though this is the first time
17:31
they've done a pure black phone in quite some time and I think they were
17:35
expecting that to be a pretty big draw no no that like that like metallic baby
17:40
blue has just been super hot for them um the Note 7 is a great phone and they're
17:45
absolutely killing the momentum on it and number three is Apple is waiting on
17:52
the doorstep with the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus yeah it's coming in like a
17:58
couple weeks while Samsung is going to be out fires
18:02
literally processing oh my god do you think so so
18:08
what it is is it's it's not Samsung's fault right so what there're well what I
18:11
read at least is that it's the not the battery cell manufacturer which is a
18:16
subsidiary of Samsung yeah but it is the
18:20
people that take those cells and then turn it into the packs which is a third
18:24
party that's who who messed up it's a
18:28
third party H so could there be so here's here's the
18:34
thing oh come onle pan them off to cause
18:38
issues do you guys have a Tim coil hat problem we actually do but I don't know
18:42
where it is can we get some Tim that's very timil but you never know you never
18:46
know I okay I doubt it okay so so then here's the question for you then as an
18:51
owner knowing that because it it doesn't
18:54
even look like all of the all of the
18:57
batteries were manufactured by the particular Factory that they're claiming
19:00
that's true so Samsung is estimating
19:03
that 24 units on a scale of 1 million
19:08
were affected by the battery problems are you going to chance it are
19:13
you just going to keep it I will keep it I will absolutely keep it if I can't
19:18
just swap out if it if there becomes a time this month where I can swap out
19:23
yeah I'll do that but if there's nothing in stock where I can't swap out I'm
19:27
keeping it screw it all right right so I mean one thing okay I don't fast charge
19:32
often I occasionally do like when I'm at a con or something I need just let's go
19:37
yeah okay but normally I'm just dribbling it up okay so that actually
19:42
ties in pretty well so a lot of people basically half the comments on my Note 7
19:45
review that went up last night are um yo
19:49
L is great timing for this review endorsing this phone because yo the
19:52
batteries are all exploding H way to go that was really funny you got to admit
19:56
that was hilarious well I appreciate a good
19:59
ironic twist as much as anyone else and it was definitely it was there was
20:02
definitely some irony there but to be clear my video was actually uploaded to
20:07
vessel a week prior so I I had no way of knowing about this and number two I do
20:14
still think it's a very solid phone when you can get one that is not affected by
20:18
the recall and number three in my video
20:21
though unrelated to this particular phone and its battery issues I do say I
20:27
don't recommend fast charging I don't recommend it it's a bad idea and
20:31
there's a couple of very basic reasons for that that apply to all phones it's
20:36
great in a pinch if you're at a con and
20:39
you have 15 minutes to get like 30%
20:42
battery that is a very cool piece of technology but charging your battery at
20:46
these higher voltages does cause it to heat up more heat is bad for AE device
20:52
but to a much greater extent your battery and so if there is any way way
20:58
that you can avoid fast charging on your phone even trickle charging it at 500
21:02
milliamps overnight is better because it
21:06
causes it to not run as hot and it is better for the cells so for me
21:11
personally I have never fast charged my Note 7 either of them actually and it's
21:16
something that I wouldn't really plan to do I mean I don't have trouble going through a whole day with this phone yeah
21:21
I don't either so if you charge it at night and you aren't doing anything
21:24
crazy like playing Pokémon go for six hours at a time I I don't really see it
21:28
as an issue um with that said I'm not you're not going to hear like an
21:32
official Linus Media Group recommendation that you not recall your
21:36
phone and then go and blame me when it lights on fire in your pocket I don't
21:39
want to open up that kind of worms recall your phone recall your phone you
21:42
heard it here first well no you didn't later after the fact we keep it away
21:46
from flammable surfaces like you should do that anyway right oh keep it away
21:50
from flam oh I got I got keep it away
21:53
from open Flames that's how I read that yes keep it off the surface of the
21:59
yeah it's got It's actually very hard to
22:02
put something on the Sun but yeah no I
22:05
I've have had every note that has ever existed and really yeah all the whole
22:09
line and um this is by far the best
22:13
definitely like Bar N it also feels the best it's I like the curves there's just
22:17
so much good about it that it's definitely this is my example of how you
22:23
don't always have to continuously do massive leaps forward right it's refined
22:28
that's what this is you're taking a product and just constantly refining it
22:31
to the point of almost Perfection duct tape except that it lights on fire
22:36
except the fact that it might catch on fire yes I mean as long as you don't
22:40
charge it ever then you'll be fine yeah I think that's that's the key okay so as
22:43
long as so how single use only how would
22:47
you even do that I also wirelessly charge everything
22:50
so is this so is this only through the port do you know um so I avoid wireless
22:55
charging for the same reason more heat yeah uh wor for the battery and and
23:00
that's another to consider if your battery is on the edge more heat could
23:05
push it over the edge in a way that not more heat could not yeah yeah Brandon
23:10
would always wirelessly charge his phone and uh his battery was just complete
23:14
crap by the that was on his Nexus 5 right yeah I think so he he basically
23:18
had it like sitting on a wireless charger all the time oh top yeah you you
23:23
you should probably just plug that thing in to charge it I mean have to buy USB-C
23:28
cable I know I know come on oh my phone
23:31
might explode PO with his big nerd
23:34
Fusion Studio can't afford a cable he has all these wonderful Lego dump trucks
23:40
that thing is cool thank you
23:43
Terry that's the first thing he saw when you came in this room oh I know it was
23:49
we have to keep we have to like keep him physically away from the Lego at work if
23:52
we want him to stay F I have a whole box of Legos focused on his editing I do
23:56
it's fine I'm waiting for him to correct you I know it's the trigger moment I
24:00
think I said it so fast really yeah yeah okay it's you're not
24:04
supposed to pluralize it you're right well there's another one where people
24:08
say Lego as in the company but it's actually the LEGO Group so there's two
24:12
gotas yeah Lego is not the company the most boring fact we ever have on the way
24:19
show Beyond hope we didn't need that the
24:22
most boring fact I'm just trying to think of things that we've discussed like I we've discussed like arguments
24:27
I've had with my wife on the W show and you more interesting you took the boring
24:32
cake right there well you got you know I got to top something over here I got to
24:37
you know all right so next article this was originally posted on the Forum by
24:42
card card with an E pretentious card and
24:46
this is a European commission ego in card card at the end okay I couldn't fig
24:52
sorry go ahead uh European commission press release uh database site here we
24:58
go Ireland gave illegal tax benefits to
25:02
Apple worth up to 13 billion euros and
25:08
the European commission has concluded that because Ireland granted
25:13
these undue tax benefits to Apple which
25:17
is illegal under EU state aid rules because it allowed Apple to pay
25:21
substantially less tax and other businesses Ireland Ireland must now
25:26
recover that illegal Aid and there's there are a of different Ang
25:32
that you can go at this from Ian we've got we've got sort of we've got the US
25:37
jumping in and saying yo you know Apple's an American corporation uh why
25:42
why why is Ireland all of a sudden going to be taking this 13 billion euros you
25:47
know you guys you guys can't be getting involved in you guys can't get be
25:51
getting involved in this and if you're getting involved why aren't we getting
25:54
involved like I mean whenever 13 billion EUR is changing hands you know someone's
25:59
going to be upset about who's paying it and someone's going to be upset about who's getting it um so there's there's a
26:04
lot of debate there but you know what so hold on let me just see if there's
26:08
anything else sort of fact wise and then I'll launch into sort of what I think of this so uh blah blah blah illegal state
26:13
aid there's been a suggestion that the bill could be as much as 19 billion
26:16
after interest is added which is pretty pretty fun by the way I mean honestly I
26:20
think it's I think it's [ __ ] to be charging Apple interest on something
26:24
that you told them they didn't have to pay yeah um not not that I'm saying that
26:28
I think you know U state sponsored tax evasion is necessarily a good thing I'm
26:33
just saying like is that a lot of money 19 billion EUR like you must you are so
26:39
American dude no my question is like says the man can't they made they
26:44
clearly had to have made Leaps and Bounds above that because they that's
26:49
just the tax because Ireland's corporate tax rate is already only 12 a half% okay
26:55
so yeah they made way more yes now now hang on on how why did why were they
26:59
given these tax breaks in the first place okay so that's a whole other discussion we'll get to that after um so
27:04
Michael Nunan the Irish Finance Minister favors an immediate appeal over the tax
27:08
bill insisted that Ireland had to preserve its status as a low tax base
27:12
for overseas companies um so we'll sort
27:15
of get into that as well and that the country so the country made deals with
27:19
apple allowing them to pay tax on profits at a maximum of
27:23
1% oh so even compared to their 12 and a
27:26
half% now to put this in the appropriate context okay oh I thought this was like
27:31
a different kind of text in British Columbia Canada uh list Media Group pays
27:38
about 25% corporate tax on its profits just to
27:44
give you guys some idea is that federal or is that that's all together actually
27:49
you know what I I'm going to go to a lifeline on this one because I don't want to give you guys the wrong facts it
27:53
may actually be more Federal
27:58
tax we live in a state where nerd Fusion does not pay any state income tax cuz we
28:03
don't have it really yeah oh that's right I knew that that's the whole
28:07
reason that Vancouver Washington exists right so you can shop in Oregon with no
28:11
sales tax and live in wash with no
28:15
income tax you just don't pay tax down there wow that's great where do you guys
28:19
even get roads from because we charge for the
28:23
roads the road I'm driving around the roads our roads have like some lanes
28:28
that are toll Lanes if you want to you can pay extra money to go faster
28:32
basically there's there's uh net neutrality does not exist on our roads
28:37
basically so okay we've got a couple pay
28:41
to win pay to win we've got a couple more statements so the credit ratings agency standard and pores pointed out
28:46
that an injection of 13 billion euros would reduce Ireland's national debt
28:50
significantly I mean there okay there is it a lot of money yes um is a lot of
28:55
money to Apple that would be more than five % of Ireland's gross dtic domestic
29:01
product 5% of Ireland's GDP um and
29:04
warned that it could undermine the government at the same time now Apple
29:08
CEO Tim Cook has just graciously
29:12
accepted the ruling has pulled out the che just kidding
29:17
um you fooled me launched had claimed so
29:20
this is a quote the European commission has launched an effort to rewrite
29:24
Apple's history in Europe what which is one way of putting it I suppose what
29:28
ignore Ireland's tax laws and rhetoric
29:31
and upend the international tax system
29:34
are you kidding me that is what the EU commission is doing how can we
29:39
stand for any of these things the international tax system there is no
29:44
International tax system also Ireland is not part of the thing that brexit did
29:50
brexit Ireland yeah is that part of that
29:53
yeah so does the EU control anything I don't know what how I can't remember
29:58
hold on Scotland is Ireland yeah Ireland's in the UK right what is the UK
30:02
not CRA now we're Allan Americans why did you even bring it up oh good heaven
30:06
now we look so dumb we should know more about okay I said yes initially so let's
30:11
find out if I'm right why it's more in the comprises four countries England
30:15
Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland so
30:18
this is southern Ireland this is Ireland Ireland Okay cool so now that there's
30:24
good now we know that we feel so we
30:27
learned a thing sorry all Americans and Canadians for
30:31
that matter know about that entire like
30:34
the whole region group of islands from Braveheart yes and it fits inside of
30:39
Texas fun fact so fun fact The Kilt
30:42
which was depicted in Braveheart as uh
30:45
being you know a thing that Scottish people wear uh didn't actually become
30:50
commonplace or even invented for that matter until about 150 years later after
30:54
the events of the movie later after 150 years after the events of the movie
30:58
so a more interesting fact than the LEGO Group yes ter you're still on the bottom
31:05
I I just don't care anymore so let's talk about this okay this is great so as
31:09
a corporation that pays literally uh
31:14
hold on let me let me see if my wife who is our actual accountant and actually
31:18
knows these things okay so whatever I I know it's deep into double digits so as
31:23
a corporation that pays deep into double digits taxes yeah we're about the same
31:27
before you do federally yeah oh ferally ferally oh so it's just no state tax
31:32
right we don't have any state tax we have there is federal tax on profit yeah
31:36
okay never mind okay I thought I was I thought we were going to be able to have
31:39
kind of two sides of definitely less than yours um I really hope that I I really
31:44
hope that I hear back from her in I might even just call her cuz my
31:49
understanding is so the first little bit like if you're a really small company
31:53
you don't actually get hit that hard but after a certain point it starts being
31:58
yeah we have that too which is why we have so I think it's like fun accounting
32:02
that happens the first like uh for us I think it's the first 500,000 or
32:07
something like that gets taxed at a lower rate wow that's really good
32:10
actually um what does our corporate tax rate work out to in
32:15
percentage can you give me a ballpark ours Max is out at
32:21
33 but oh can can you just ballpark it this
32:25
is uh enthralling nerds on there okay so
32:30
it's somewhere between 20 and 40% for us and I think it goes up to nearly nearly
32:35
the so does it bother you that
32:39
multinationals with the capability if they were paying taxes of significantly
32:43
reducing an entire country's national debt are paying 1%x 1% is ridiculous how
32:48
did they how did Ireland rationalize it
32:52
at the beginning like why wouldn't they want the money so I think they want the
32:55
jobs okay so they want the job for the citizens and that's I mean that's the
33:00
kind 5% of their employment going to Apple like if that's how much it is I
33:05
mean Apple employees and and that actually okay so that that's another
33:09
thing to consider is not all of the corporations that quote unquote have
33:14
their headquarters in a country like Ireland actually employ a significant
33:17
number of people there sure so so there's that can be a factor in this
33:21
kind of a decision but in this case I actually don't know that it was cuz my
33:26
understanding is that apple in particular does not employ a ton of people in Ireland and I'm sure that
33:30
twitch chat is going to be uh apparently they have call centers in Ireland there
33:34
you go that's it yeah this is all over
33:37
call centers call centers um listen
33:41
Apple needs that 16 billion to build that stupid building they're building in
33:46
uh where is that okay 5,000 okay they
33:49
commit to invest in infrastructure what infrastructure so I
33:54
don't know but infrastructure can mean anything it can mean roads it can mean
33:57
Urban Development it can mean uh it can mean pretty pretty much anything it's
34:01
what you say to a place to make them be okay with you causing a lot of noise and
34:05
traffic uh blah blah blah okay okay and this is another good
34:10
point Ireland wants the 1% because even one% of Apple's pro profits is better
34:16
than 0% of Apple's profits so basically
34:20
it becomes like a bidding war between countries for who can offer the lowest
34:23
corporate taxes this is great thank you twitch chat for contributing positively
34:27
to a convers ation you guys are awesome today note that I said today so Ireland
34:32
says okay you you can be here and we're only going to charge you the 1% and the
34:36
EU is like hey Ireland now you got to
34:40
charge them the full price Yeah so basically so it's all good for Ireland
34:43
shoot they're in a really good place I was going to say they're in a really good place unless unless Apple backs up
34:48
unless Apple bails on Ireland and and
34:52
all the other high-tech companies cuz Apple's not the only one that's using
34:55
Ireland as a tax shelter like this is like of like if you were making it part
34:59
of your bus as a country to attract 1%
35:02
of the profits of tech giants like Apple and Google then all of a sudden being
35:08
stuck where price the price is fixed where you have uh like effectively like
35:13
a like a minimum advertised price uh similar to how retailers are stuck
35:17
selling a product at the same price if that's part of the uh manufacturer
35:21
agreement like if they're stuck in a in like a price fixing situation or I
35:25
shouldn't say price fixing price fixing is illegal it's a different thing if it's like a like a a Fair competition
35:30
act kind of thing then what can they offer other than slashing the price and
35:35
I think there's a there's some good things that could come out of that we could have countries coming up with more
35:39
uh with more interesting and more innovative ways to attract companies and
35:43
we could have companies well actually injecting some of that private money
35:49
that quite frankly what do they even need it for at a certain point injecting
35:53
some of that private money back into the citizens that are Staffing their
35:57
companies even if they're not willing to pay it to them directly I mean we've all
36:00
seen the growing disparity between the wages of the highest 1% and the average
36:05
working blue color Joe yeah so overall I
36:09
think this is great um yeah I think Ireland wins here
36:14
I think there's so many other companies there that are probably like wow we
36:17
weren't charge 1% like whoever's over there people in
36:22
ch are saying Microsoft is over there what if Microsoft is being charged that full amount and now they're just finding
36:26
out about this I don't think they are but maybe hey maybe they're paying 1.2%
36:31
1.2 mind you if everyone ultimately has to come back and back at the same rate
36:37
that's when they all mve to what's that Island Jersey that tax Haven island over
36:41
there yeah anyway I mean this makes this is really frustrating as someone who
36:45
actually pays taxes who actually feels like they paid for the road that leads
36:49
to the building that they occupy um it
36:52
it is very very frustrating for me that the bigger you get the less you get lean
36:57
especially because you look at it from a personal I don't know if your personal taxes work the same way but from a
37:02
personal tax and for normal businesses tax the more you make the more you pay
37:07
yeah up to a point that's absolutely the truth I mean the first I think it's 26
37:11
or $28,000 a year that you make in British Colombia there's no tax so if
37:15
you're very low income there is no income tax and then as you go up you get
37:19
into a higher and higher tax bracket but the way it works is there's no
37:23
punishment for going up into a higher tax bracket because you only pay the
37:26
higher tax rate on the income you make over the last threshold yeah so once I
37:30
think you're past about 100,000 a year um it goes up as high as 40%
37:35
personally um and and we have a 12%
37:40
Federal and provincial sales tax total
37:43
so we actually pay over half plus property tax if you're a land owner um
37:48
plus bridge tolls like I have to pay a toll every time I want to go into
37:52
Vancouver City well you can take how many taxes tunnel you can take the route
37:57
if like hate yourself and you want it to like you could pay yourself you could
38:01
pay yourself half of minimum wage to go
38:06
around if you look depending on where you're going it'll be like only five
38:09
more minutes and then I'll take it cuz it'll it'll if there's like a traffic
38:13
jam you know because Google will tell you but yes it's ridiculous with those
38:17
tax laws just think about how much money your country is going to make when Trump
38:21
wins and everybody decides hey I'm gonna go to Canada right as the fix it you
38:28
know yeah I don't know you know what's actually funny is U Canada's Canada's
38:32
working on um loosening up the rules for
38:37
getting into the country um yeah particularly if you are Canadian
38:41
educated oh yeah so if you if you came
38:44
to Canada as a student and you did like U like an exchange program or some kind
38:48
of foreign study thing then what Canada's trying to do is instead of
38:53
educating these bloody people and but what people don't really understand is
38:56
that University is very expensive or college as you call it here in the US
39:00
OFA um College is very very expensive for students but at least in Canada
39:04
anyway the actual cost to educate those students is much much higher there are
39:08
heavy government subsidies as it is so basically you're taking these
39:11
International students who do pay more but I'm still actually not quite sure if
39:15
it covers it you're educating them with the Canadian system they're you know
39:18
getting immersed in Canadian culture and then you're basically going okay outd you go go back to wherever you came from
39:23
you can't come back which makes no sense to me I mean the people cared enough
39:27
about Canada and Canadians and Canadian culture that they came to study here and
39:32
then what we're going to kick them out I mean what would that what would that
39:35
mean for people like Dennis like we're taking young single uh
39:42
educated Canadian culturalized people
39:45
and we're saying you can't live here I mean those are the ideal the ideal
39:50
immigrants yeah anyway I
39:55
yeah people are oh the entire chat's
39:58
like Canadian culture in quotes I know
40:01
we have poutine they have maple syrup a little bit we have maple syr we have
40:05
maple bacon we have maple ice cream okay
40:10
they're very Sor maple bacon is fantastic that's not culture though all
40:15
right yeah things you eat are culture
40:18
okay I mean what culture would America have if it was for food well America
40:23
America is is like it's not so much the
40:26
food that's the culture it's the amount of it it's like lots of yeah that's right you want to throw stones I'll
40:30
throw stones how awkward you kind of have to defend both a little bit well
40:34
cuz you have to go home eventually you got you got to actually go to I can go
40:38
wherever I please all right so uh next topic coming
40:42
up is YouTube being accused of censoring vloggers and I don't actually is that
40:46
hat again yeah I don't actually normally do this where I'm like haha I'm going to
40:50
tease a topic before I jump into a bunch of sponsor spots but I really want you
40:54
guys to stay tuned for that discussion because I think it is going to be a good
40:57
one so our first sponsor of the day is Squarespace you can get 247 support via
41:02
live chat in Brackets we don't offer telephone support it costs only $8 a
41:07
month you get a free domain if you buy Squarespace for a year I'm just going to read the talking points because Nick
41:10
keeps yelling at me for ad living what does that mean like he doesn't like when
41:14
he just that's what makes a better live stream right so you know what
41:20
Squarespace they make like websites and stuff and you go to squarespace.com and
41:24
it's like responsive design and like they got features man they gotur our
41:30
corporate page Squarespace is it really God why aren't they paying us no yeah are they sponsored they're not oh all
41:34
right but hey well there you go now you know now you know so if their website
41:39
sucks you know who to blame and it's not Squarespace because Squarespace is
41:43
actually very easy to use with lots of attractive templates that's right so it
41:47
must be Matt for doing a crappy job of uploading the wrong pictures it's like
41:52
this is supposed to be about nerd Fusion why are there monkey butts on it oh
41:56
that's a great idea because we accidentally uploaded from the monkey butt folder I definitely put some of my
42:01
astronomy pictures up there anyway
42:05

42:23
plans if you're more into the having people like give you money then the
42:28
whole paying money part of using the things that lonus Media Group endorses
42:32
then fresh books fresh books is the easy to use invoicing software that helps
42:36
small businesses look professional I mean it doesn't make you professional
42:40
you can still like you know have your butt hanging out while you're under
42:43
someone's sink fixing their pipes that's fine you don't have to look professional
42:47
you just well okay you have to look professional but only on the invoice okay you can still dress in like you
42:52
know plaid and wear like dir it's kind of unprofessional not to show crack on
42:56
that job I feel like so absolutely really so I I would trust
43:00
somebody more who's the stereotypical
43:03
plumber type than like someone who's all clean so why comes in in like a a suit
43:08
and tie two pipes like what you don't want that okay well you're going extreme
43:13
okay example yeah I just I I want the I
43:16
want the person who's been doing it for a long time justes care how looks he
43:21
just know he's getting the job get those pipes fix I see so you think that in
43:25
order to in order to be a good good plumber you just have you've been bent
43:30
over that long yep so long that your pants are wor out is molded to that
43:36
shape so it's always just pulling down your pant so you're crack okay so so
43:39
then is that I mean is that a form of discrimination I mean you guys have
43:43
serious anti-discrimination employment laws here in Washington I would only
43:47
hire a plumber that shows I see why Nick doesn't like it when so it's a sponsor
43:52
spot fine they talk about that so if it's a female is that sexual
43:55
discrimination if you're saying look if you don't show crack while you're fixing
43:58
my pipes we're out of this yeah we're out of this get the road well you heard
44:02
it here first if you guys ever get called to the nerd Fusion office to fix
44:06
their pipes then you better be ready to show crack um anyway back to Fresh
44:11
depending on the kind of pipes speaking of fresh fresh books is the super simple
44:15
easy to use invoicing tool that lets small business owners whether you're a

47:59
oh I hate you all okay so let's move on
48:02
to the big news big one the original article this was posted by um raama
48:08
attacks on the Forum uh the original
48:11
article that I actually saw was uh sexy
48:15
Phils uh sexy Phil's post which had a
48:18
very very incendiary title something like YouTube is shutting my channel down
48:23
and I don't know what to do Phil the Franco oh I I saw that too um sorry I
48:27
don't know I don't think anyone calls him Sexy Phil anymore his like old
48:30
channel name is SX Phil yeah kind of like Austin evans's old channel name is
48:35
Duncan 33303 I think I'm one of the only guys
48:39
whose channel name is actually my channel name cuz they let you switch it
48:42
now so if I wanted to Rebrand to something not quite so narcissistic I
48:46
could but I won't why would you um so
48:51
here we go why is YouTube being accused
48:55
of censoring vlog with the sub headline here is that called the by line nothing
49:00
has changed I remember I don't actually have a news background I just run this
49:03
podcast sub title little little title
49:06
yeah the the little the like gray and not black it's not always gray it's it's
49:11
smaller it's italicized and the font is smaller the worst is when they repeat
49:15
what you've already read in the title like three or four times okay so let's
49:22
let's stick with the facts to start with
49:25
the fact is that you YouTube is not shutting down Phil def Franco's Channel
49:30
that I mean the guy's well known for having clickbait titles and you can
49:34
think of that whatever you will you know if it if it if it works I I actually as
49:39
long as the video is somewhat about that and I guess it's somewhat about how that
49:44
is not actually what's happening I guess like he s s that's yeah cuz in the video
49:49
he specifically say says like we're not going anywhere the channel is not
49:53
shutting down we have all these other sources of revenue because we're smart we buildt up other revenue streams um
49:58
which is smart and that's good it just means that the title really isn't anything to do with reality um so
50:03
YouTube did not shut down the channel and they have not as some people have
50:08
said changed their terms of service okay let's uh let's go ahead and
50:14
pull up the support. gooogle page here
50:17
uh I think that's my screen share yep there we go uh this is one of the things
50:21
I love about the touchcreen by the way a lot of people ask me why I care about the touch screen I actually use it to
50:25
scroll nicely when I'm when I'm streaming I wish I had one of
50:29
those these terms of service have not changed content that is considered
50:34
inappropriate for advertising not for hosting on the
50:39
youtube.com website okay sexually
50:42
suggestive including partial nudity and sexual humor violence including display
50:45
of serious injury and events related to that violent extremism inappropriate language including harassment profanity
50:49
and vulgar language promotion of drugs and related substances including selling use and Abus such items controversial
50:54
sensitive subjects and events including subjects related to or political conflicts natural disasters and
50:58
strategies even if graphical imagery is not shown if any of the above describes
51:03
any portion of your video then the video may not be approved for monetization if
51:08
monetization is approved your video may not be eligible for all available ad
51:12
formats YouTube reserves the right to not monetize a video as well as suspend
51:16
monetization features on channels that repeatedly submit videos violating our
51:23
policies so they haven't changed that the key difference is in the
51:29
enforcement of the aforementioned rules
51:32
now some of this stuff makes a fair bit
51:36
of sense to me some of the videos that
51:39
clearly violate anti-cyberbullying
51:42
policies some of which had been revised in the last I think four to six weeks
51:47
something along those lines whereas some of them don't make a ton of sense to me
51:52
although I haven't watched the video in question Phil def Franco did claim that
51:56
he had a video that was covering a news item about something controversial but
52:02
that wasn't promoting it in any way and where basically his coverage of the news
52:07
was being considered not Advertiser friendly and therefore not eligible for
52:11
monetization potentially that is to say if his only income stream was from
52:16
YouTube and Google AdSense uh potentially undermining his ability to
52:21
maintain his channel that makes sense
52:25
right now these are the rest of my notes on this and then we'll open this one up
52:29
for for a real discussion here and I'm sure twitch chat's going to get involved as well so right now videos seem to be
52:34
being flagged for reasons that appear to be unfair and
52:38
unclear um statements from YouTube suggest that the problem isn't a new
52:44
policy um it's just a long-running conflict between the platform's rules
52:48
and their execution on those
52:52
rules so doesn't surprise me okay I mean
52:56
I think we're going to tin foil hat off
53:00
sorry could I get another one yeah can we get one thank you you guys have like
53:03
a producer can you like fill it up all the way this
53:07
time I still have water cuz I haven't been talking as much than you am I
53:11
orange cuz like that's Tech tips color I'm green no it was okay I thank you um
53:18
yeah so I I don't I don't know like as a not YouTuber oh here we go it seems to
53:24
me like like YouTube just likes to has YouTube
53:30
done anything right recently right it's where where like they they seem to do
53:35
really well when they piss off all their content creators you think so they seem
53:40
to the the YouTube views are going way
53:43
up just look at this topic alone right think about how many videos and how many
53:46
views are stemming from just this topic alone here's a question for you do they
53:51
care because these are non- monetizable views that are basically costing Beed
53:56
costing oh the discussion about this is way more monetizable than the what they
54:01
are unmonetized our can I'm let me put this on they are definitely making more
54:07
money off of doing this than if they hadn't done it because all these videos
54:12
those are videos that have been seen already by the large majority of people
54:15
that are going to see them Y and now there's a way more videos brand new
54:19
monetized talking about this now thank
54:23
you for the few million dollars everybody says YouTube and uh keep going
54:27
I can tell you that every video from a YouTuber cuz many in the YouTube
54:31
Community the people who care about this within the YouTube Community seem to be
54:34
for the most part super mad about it um most of the ones I've seen in fact one I
54:39
saw was pretty funny where the guy went out of his way to break every single one
54:42
of those guidelines saw that one um is it still monetized no okay without
54:46
monetizing it meaning that YouTube is effectively just paying storage and band
54:50
with for something that they don't benefit from and that has a viewer using
54:54
up valuable session view time on not
54:58
making any money for theform that they have a whole sidebar full of related
55:03
content as long as there's one click after on any of those you're good that's
55:07
right interesting having good content on is good for YouTube content is King what
55:12
else you got for me yeah I I have nothing you do no I I definitely think
55:16
that doing things like this is what keeps YouTube people talking about they
55:20
want people talking about the platform you know this is definitely tinfoil hat
55:25
stuff right here ridiculous to me where it's like they drama is really good for
55:31
YouTube views it just is and if they have to manufacture the drama then so be
55:35
it I I don't get the feeling that they're going out of their way to manufacture drama to get views I think
55:40
they're doing this for other reasons I think this is pure hand handedness I
55:45
think that basically they got some pressure put on them by advertisers I
55:49
mean at some point they're going to have to make YouTube profitable they're going to have to figure out how to do that um
55:54
have to do that I think I think at some point well okay I know for a fact that
55:58
one of the business goals within the YouTube business unit is to be profitable whether Google actually
56:02
expects it to happen or not or Al whether alphabet expects it to happen or
56:06
not I'm not sure but that is that is a goal that is something that they seem to
56:11
be working towards with things like YouTube Red um which does extract more
56:16
money per individual view than advertisement by the way that's
56:20
interesting because there's YouTube Red videos that are not demonetized that
56:25
break those guidelines right somebody has gone through and compiled like a
56:28
list of 30 or 40 YouTube r videos whose titles completely raping them and stuff
56:34
like that interesting yep well awkward
56:37
okay so so sorry back to right so my my
56:42
my personal theory is that basically advertisers came to them and said look
56:47
we'll feel better about advertising on the platform if we don't have our ad
56:51
displayed on you know some video full of profanity that is promoting hate and
56:57
promoting you know cyber bullying or or
57:00
or has these controversial topics and all this stuff um and basically what I
57:05
think is happening is YouTube is trying to figure out a way to deliver their ad
57:10
inventory because there's always a there's always a finite amount of AD inventory they're figuring out a way to
57:14
deliver their ad inventory in a way that
57:17
best optimizes their cpms for both the platform itself and for the content
57:22
creators who are keeping in line with brand friendly value
57:27
while you know and treating the stuff
57:30
that is not going to be monetizable as
57:33
sort of collateral damage um and I think that right now because Google is all
57:38
about automated systems it's not like people are manually going through these
57:41
videos so right now in the first iteration of the system they're
57:44
basically going yeah there's going to be again there's going to be some
57:47
collateral damage we will revise the algorithm over time and my belief is
57:52
what they're actually generating on the back end is not not just a black and
57:57
white system because they made it very clear in the system or they made it very
58:01
clear in the announcement or in the guidelines that the video might not be
58:04
eligible for all types of advertising so
58:08
they might be able to actually have potential advertising Partners in the
58:12
future that I'm looking a year or two years down the road where they can fill
58:17
out a questionnaire and they can say what are you comfortable with and then
58:21
those Impressions then you'll check this
58:24
box certain or if you're willing to have your if
58:28
you're willing to have your advertisement play on some YouTube drama
58:31
video about two YouTubers who got in a fight or whatever that's full of you
58:35
know people saying hateful things to each other um then hey maybe you pay a
58:39
little bit less I think they want to figure I think YouTube's ultimate goal
58:43
is to monetize every single video on the platform I think just right now they are
58:48
rolling this out in stages and what the first stage looks like is a very
58:52
imperfect algorithm for detecting stuff
58:55
that know is definitely or or probably not
58:59
safe for all the advertisers that they have now and then they'll work on
59:03
rolling out something more granular in the future and I think that while it is
59:08
totally crap for people to have made
59:11
YouTube a job to have to have relied on the benevolence of of Google who runs
59:16
this wonderful platform that makes it so people can quit their jobs and start
59:20
doing this as a full-time job uh even if they're not business savvy people I
59:24
think it's super crappy to those people but I think that it's also a huge wakeup
59:29
call because what those people have to understand is even if they don't come
59:32
from a business background they are entrepreneurs and they're going to have
59:36
to understand that as great as it's been
59:39
and we should be appreciative of Google and YouTube for keeping us divided from
59:43
this as great as it is to feel like I can say and do whatever I want and Ford
59:51
or Fredo Le or Pepsi Co or the major
59:55
brands like this are going to just display advertising on it and I'm going
59:59
to make money that is not how it works in the real world absolutely not so if
60:05
you imagined that this was going to keep up forever that brands with like
60:10
corporative corporate values and those can go on either end of the the Spectrum
60:15
I mean look at Chick-fil-A I mean you can go you can go all the way from like
60:19
hyper conservative Brands all the way to brands that are like yeah whatever do
60:23
whatever bite the heads off of you know chickens on on stream or on video for
60:27
all I care we'll endorse the crap out of it um people are just going to have to
60:32
understand that if they expect to get mainstream advertising dollars and those
60:36
big mainstream cpms that content just doesn't fly and
60:41
there it's a miracle that it did for this long that's my take on it I mean do
60:45
you think do you think there's something wrong there with how corporations
60:50
perceive ads because right now it seems
60:53
that they're like this is now part of the content which is crap right I don't
60:58
I don't think a single viewer out there thinks that the ad is in any way related
61:03
to the content that I think is wrong really oh yes oh yes I mean I I mean all
61:09
you got to do is spend some time on Tumblr do we have to glad I don't do
61:13
that right to find people who can get
61:16
very upset writing letters writing handwritten letters to CEOs because they
61:22
saw an ad for Colgate toothpaste on some
61:26
YouTube video where someone was swearing and the problem is that it only takes
61:31
one person well that person just wrong
61:34
that person is wrong it doesn't take just one person CU advertising is all
61:38
about a massive message to lots and lots of
61:42
people if just one person gets mad that's fine they don't care no but okay
61:46
so hold on hold on so vocal minority because I agree with you that
61:49
corporations are viewing advertising wrong and that that person is viewing
61:53
advertising wrong but you also have to
61:56
understand that from a corporation perspective you have to tread very
62:00
lightly around that stuff because one angry person can turn into a thousand or
62:06
10,000 angry people very very quickly as soon as it ends up on national news
62:10
because some Rinky Dink news Outlet had
62:13
nothing else to talk about today besides the fact that a Colgate ad played on
62:19
this video besides the fact that Colgate for that one person besides the fact
62:23
that Colgate is paying money I mean
62:26
that's the thing anywhere money exchange that's not how that worked Colgate does
62:30
not pay that content creator that's not how the system works effectively they do
62:34
no they don't they pay YouTube and then YouTube serves it wherever they please
62:40
that's right and Colgate has every right to be mad if their money and their ad
62:45
and their brand gets associated with someone else and and I don't think they
62:49
should be mad in this case no no they shouldn't but remember I mean and we've
62:54
had okay we've had this conversation offline the advertising industry is like
62:58
30 40 years ago oh yeah absolutely right
63:02
they are they are nowhere okay they're nowhere near ready for YouTube let alone
63:06
twitch yeah I mean that's very true
63:10
obviously so none of this is surprising but I mean like there there's it's just
63:15
it's I think this is just an education thing where YouTube is is taking some
63:20
stance on something without even attempting to educate their advertisers
63:25
that advertising you and I you and I spend a lot of time educating people
63:30
that come to us right we spend a lot of time talking to them about things like
63:34
this talking to linda.com about why it's better if we screw up your ad read it is
63:40
better and it is better and it is better totally better I have more fun and
63:44
that's what it's all about me having more fun personally it just that is it
63:48
just that YouTube isn't spending enough time educating advertisers into hey
63:53
welcome to 2016 in
63:56
so here's the thing is like you've dealt with big brands with big Brands and I'm
64:01
not going to name any names but we have dealt with brands that come with very
64:06
big egos I mean when you're talking to a hundred-year-old company that has become
64:12
one of the you know Fortune 50 companies
64:15
through a a long-standing tradition of Behaving a certain way and having a
64:20
certain set of brand values yeah when you're talking to them and you're going
64:25
yeah yeah but that's all out the door in the last 3 years don't worry about it
64:28
yeah can you imagine the kind of push back you're going to get yeah like they
64:32
I mean it depends i' say then I'm taking my paycheck and I'm giving it to someone
64:36
else that's simple I'll give it to Malcolm in the Middle reruns cuz that's
64:41
just the right that's just the right amount to eggie oh God did you like that
64:45
show I love that show great show it's great but you don't like that show it's
64:49
all right it's all right me it's like de's the worst child actor on the face
64:53
of the Earth it's like Everybody Loves Raymond area of of oh it's better than
64:58
everybody loves better come on well
65:01
anyway L what you said about like not black and white but having various
65:05
levels of of you know gray between where an Advertiser can say I'm okay with this
65:10
but not that I think that makes a lot of sense y like and if they would describe
65:15
it and explain it that way well they're not I don't think they're ready to roll
65:18
it out that way well but people are getting really upset because they don't
65:22
understand what the heck is going on like you said there's not enough education going on here yeah but that's
65:27
always YouTube's problem like they're always sending out like remember when
65:30
like hey this is happening now psych yeah yeah I mean so here's the bottom
65:35
line so here here's the ultimate bottom line on this this was a matter of time
65:39
and this is a huge wakeup call for YouTubers about the fact that they they
65:45
are business owners that they do have to conduct themselves in a professional
65:49
manner if they expect sponsors to give them any money um and fact number three
65:56
is that YouTube is not censoring anyone they are not telling anyone that
66:01
you can't continue to upload your videos to the site I mean they're saying we
66:06
won't pay you to do it it's effect it's kind of it's an effective censorship
66:10
you're not saying we show you down because if someone's had a show where they've done this for the past like
66:14
three years they have a certain thing that they do you know they're they're
66:18
more rough around the edges and now now oh crap I can't make any more money this
66:22
way cuz nobody's going to want to advertise with me I mean like you said
66:25
maybe we all have to grow up about it yeah maybe you have to grow up and realize that this is either a hobby or
66:30
it's or you're a businessman and you're a professional can't say because someone says a curse word is no longer a
66:34
profession that's true and you know what I think like sensitive political topics
66:40
what does that mean I think the algorithm is way too heavy-handed right
66:43
now oh I agree with that I also think
66:46
that they are heading to a place where it will ultimately be something that
66:50
makes sense to me especially if they can have a tiered system where the edge of
66:54
the content the fewer sponsors are going to are are going to whitelist it and are
66:59
going to be okay with it are going to sign on for it and ultimately the lower cpns you might make but that you might
67:04
still be able to make money um I just
67:07
think that this ultimately is a bit of a wakeup call and that hopefully we're
67:13
heading somewhere better with it and that YouTube has done a crap job of
67:16
communication and implementation they always do that but they always do that
67:20
and they always over fix and then pull it back that's just a typical thing
67:24
right yes maybe that's a tactic of their that's basically what we're looking at
67:28
here and ultimately you know what it isn't the fil of franos of the world and
67:33
he said this himself it isn't the FI of franos of the world that are going to suffer from this sure it is the up and
67:38
cominging guys the guys that do not have a thriving merch business or that do not
67:43
have a thriving direct donation business or that do not have any other means of
67:48
augmenting their income and so ultimately and this is the part that is
67:52
most shitty about it is that it is the
67:55
least businesslike that are going to be
67:59
affected the most the people who had the least chance of seeing it coming cuz
68:02
quite frankly lonus Media Group could survive if YouTube shut off our AdSense
68:07
we are set up in such a way that we are ready for that because I've seen this
68:12
coming literally years in advance from the moment I founded lonus Media Group I
68:17
was trying to figure out how to not be reliant on the benevolence of YouTube
68:21
even if I was still I still needed to use it to reach a large audience I had
68:24
to find other ways to monetize that audience what that also
68:27
means is I am deeply experienced dealing directly with sponsors and I'm already
68:32
aware of these sensitivities so it is the guys that stumbled into it that
68:36
don't have the business Acumen that are ultimately getting crapped on the
68:40
hardest by this and that sucks and they really need to fix it but ultimately the
68:44
bottom line is this was coming so don't
68:48
be that surprised there I mean I think everyone's surprised it was so heavy yes
68:53
cuz that should probably not have come it's so
68:57
heavy-handed it is it's way too far yep
69:00
they they definitely I don't know and to use an automated system to detect when
69:04
someone's cursing and just like wa that part is automated is if you say
69:08
something I think right now from what I understand it's tags and and things like
69:14
that like users reporting maybe yeah and then users flying yeah yeah that makes
69:17
sense cuz as as soon as this thing came out obviously a bunch of people started
69:21
flagging videos right oh yeah yeah and then you get a bunch of false
69:26
the world and but then of course then yeah
69:29
like I understand they want to automate it cuz like you can't have like a train
69:33
a room full of of people just watching videos all day to listen for one swear
69:37
word sounds like a fun job right that does not s a fun job no that's what they
69:41
use the report feature for and and I call it a feature when
69:45
it's yeah that's something different all right so I will finally somewhat weigh
69:53
in on the situation over at
69:56
Syndicate um let's go ahead and pop over to Linus's screen so actually the main
70:00
source I have for this is uh lonus Tech tips Forum because as part of the whole
70:06
uh and I'm going to I need my allegedly sign because ultimately I don't we need
70:10
some more props up in here because there is a lot of conflicting information have
70:14
you been following this at all I have not do you know who they are I learned
70:19
you briefly learned well whatever anyway
70:23
the point is you might to explain though yeah who is Tech Syndicate okay so there
70:28
are another YouTube channel uh that makes videos about um sometimes Tech
70:34
what else they I'm gonna look up because I think I know who the guy the guy who
70:38
runs it used to be the Tiger Direct YouTube guy you know Tiger Direct I do
70:43
know Tiger Direct okay so he used to be their YouTube personality like I do know
70:47
who that is way back in the day okay I definitely know who that is so
70:52
basically the drama llama is is all over
70:56
the place um there have been a couple of public statements released from what
71:01
appear to be sort of two Waring camps um
71:05
allegedly I'm just I'm going to fill it with that so basically Logan and Pistol
71:09
appear to be on one side with Wendell and Kane and uh shoot I don't remember
71:15
her name Jennifer with Wendell Kane and Jennifer kind of on the other side and
71:19
what it looks like right now though I haven't actually checked the thread
71:23
today so I don't know if anything if anything new has come out let's just go
71:27
ahead and have a look here Tuesday uh blah blah blah blah blah blah
71:32
blah wow there's a lot of posts per page on our Forum apparently so there's 10
71:37
pages on the latest thre here we're going to we're going to experience this together yeah just keeps going let me
71:41
just say your SEO for your forums nailed
71:44
it thank you uh not not not me that's mostly it's mostly a Luke thing but
71:50
um okay basically Wendell came out and
71:55
said okay we have some problems uh it appears as though there's some
72:00
misappropriation of funds um I a part
72:03
owner in the company um I believe he did clarify his shares are 30% the company's
72:08
been increasing in Revenue by 125k a
72:11
year or so for the last three years which gives us some idea what at least a
72:15
bare minimum of the overall company gross income is even if that doesn't
72:18
tell us anything about profitability or or how much is being paid to employees
72:22
or whatever else the case may be um patrons were complaining that they
72:26
weren't getting the patreon rewards they were promised um the the and I don't I
72:32
don't watch the channel so allegedly just based on posts I'm seeing on Reddit
72:36
text indicate Forum our own Forum uh people were saying the content's
72:40
actually getting worse even though patrons are contributing all this money
72:44
um and Wendell basically came out and said look I don't understand where this money is going I'm a shareholder and
72:49
what is going on um some many many
72:54
strong words were exchanged particularly by um pistol there's been a lot of
73:00
speculation as to what exactly the role that she plays and all of this is uh
73:05
Logan has released a statement saying it's all basically like down to
73:09
miscommunication uh Kane has been fired apparently or quit depending on who you
73:15
ask uh Jennifer is definitely gone um
73:19
and Wendell from uh my understanding of
73:23
it appears to be definitely on the way out claims that Logan owes him for his
73:28
shares and is Seeking a minimum of the
73:31
amount that he figures he owes him just in like unpaid uh services for the
73:36
company and uh yeah let me just see if there's
73:41
anything anything else anything else new
73:45
um like the forums were shut down but they're back online yeah so that was
73:48
that was a whole controversy so in the in the halalu with uh people posting
73:54
like public public email exchanges public chat exchanges on both sides of
73:59
this conflict in all of that um Logan
74:02
says he alleges that the Forum was shut down accidentally because he let Kane go
74:07
and was worried that he would sabotage it but people are posting screen shots
74:11
of Logan threatening to shut down the Forum uh if people don't stop
74:15
criticizing whatever it is they're doing or or whatever else are being haters um
74:21
or whatever the case may be and pretty
74:24
much um pretty much I guess the bottom line
74:28
is that uh it it looks like a pretty bad
74:32
situation over there I I wouldn't personally you you'll still see like
74:36
Wendell on the channel for a while like there's stuff that's been recorded weeks
74:40
ago um that's kind of still getting published so a video went up with him in
74:45
it and everyone's like oh I guess it's okay and it's like oh by the way that's
74:49
not how video works unless you're this guy you got to work way ahead yeah in
74:54
Industry like this or don't know how you guys so we have videos written that are
74:59
three weeks from YouTube publication we have videos shot is that how long this
75:04
video is going to oh yeah this video will be a while all right cuz there's
75:08
the editing queue there's the vessel time delay window oh right you do the
75:12
week so by the time you can watch it unless you're subscribed to vessel which
75:15
I doubt very much that you are I totally am lius and everybody
75:20
should be just for you lius
75:25
um a lot of people are on vessel just for us we're very popular on vessel yeah
75:30
yeah so there basically my bottom line
75:33
on this one is I haven't worked with anyone over there since Highlander in
75:37
any capacity so I don't really have any comment other than to summarize
75:42
everything that I have basically read on
75:46
Reddit texting Forum lus Tech tips Forum
75:50
Etc so um so there you go I wish
75:55
them I mean drama's fun it's just
75:58
drama's fun it just likes what it happens to you right so you know that's
76:03
okay we have what what I will say is someone posted a rumor who is a who
76:09
claims to be very close to the source um
76:13
and I would say that there their Source it was him
76:19
yeah can we get a zoom in on can we get a zoom in on that while I do like
76:23
ominous music no I'm just kidding it's fine um he's about to jump out of the
76:26
chair so so what I will say about this
76:30
person's source is that either they are completely full of crap or this person
76:35
is completely full of crap but someone claimed that Aus Media Group Employee
76:39
will be making the jump over to Tech Syndicate I can assure you that is not
76:42
happening um and uh yeah that it's
76:47
actually lus I can also assure you that would not be a very good yeah jokes on
76:50
you you guys are on your own you can rename it to just Tech tips you know or
76:55
like Luke Tech Teran Tech tips way better
76:59
alliteration tan Tech tips t Terrorist
77:04
Town yeah it sounds like it sounds like an extremist group what the the TTT like
77:11
I just oh okay yeah I can see that yeah
77:14
we might want to re rethink our image I'll work on I'll work on the name
77:19
all right so um I guess I didn't really
77:22
talk to Twitch chat much while we were talking about all this stuff yeah what
77:26
have they been I don't really I don't really know lots of harambe things lots
77:30
of harambe oh yeah you know what's really funny again like most of our
77:34
participation in internet memes I feel like is is at least half unintentional
77:40
so my video on the Galaxy S7 yeah um
77:44
contains gorillas no wait no no it's what CPU to buy yeah yeah what CPU to
77:49
buy has um random you randomly put gor
77:53
no way it was random put no I my guidance called for gorillas
77:58
okay so so anyway that video was written
78:01
yeah then there was like a week plus
78:04
delay hold on hold on week plus delay in editing then there was a week delay to
78:09
go to to YouTube from vessel yeah with
78:13
um so I had two people who left reviews for the $1,700 CPU the 6950x extreme
78:19
Edition two people who left reviews that were like these like chest thumping this
78:24
CPU is so great and so am I for using it and so is anyone else who uses it and
78:28
the other guy's like yeah you're great and I'm great too you know I only spent
78:33
this much on my total R $4,600 Which is
78:36
less than you but still awesome I'm still a baller like so we had these
78:40
gorillas pop in while we highlighted like the goofy stuff these guys were
78:43
saying and we had these gorilla sound effects so we participated in the
78:47
harambe me you totally knew that was a thing completely unintentional no idea I
78:51
posted on Twitter and I get all these harambe that is
78:55
I had to Google it I had no idea I basically am not an internet citizen I
79:00
have two children could you imagine if the gorilla picture that you chose
79:05
accidentally was harambe well it was off shutter stock so the odds were like one
79:09
in a thousand just because it would have been all gorillas kind of look the same
79:13
to me yeah but right now if you search gorilla I guarantee most of trigger be I
79:17
am so triggered right now triggered by you being triggered okay I can't be in a
79:22
room with someone who's been triggered um very triggering very triggering so
79:26
you can't be in a room with yourself it's like a freaking Paradox it's a box
79:30
and a box and a box and a box um all right so let's do some of our
79:35
let's do some of our more rapid fire topics original article here posted by
79:39
Tim Q on the Forum is from unowned Tech
79:42
the Acer Predator 21x which
79:46
confirmed I will be one of the first to receive a review unit of that's one big
79:51
laugh that's huge features a an undisclosed K Lake processor GTX 1080
79:58
desktop grade SLI come on and a curved
80:03
gaming display a curved display on a
80:07
laptop is it a laptop at that point yeah I mean come on those look like
80:11
mechanical keys they are mechanical keys does that look like a laptop that's that
80:15
that's like a desktop that's been put in a trash compactor look at these vents
80:19
look at these vents take that take that on an airplane and see what they say I
80:23
think the vents are here too you look at this thing no I'm looking at it now to
80:27
be clear you do not actually need quite that much ventilation we actually have a
80:31
GTX 1080 SLI video like a like a laptop
80:35
coming up on YouTube in I think six days or something like that again working
80:38
ahead um already out on vessel already out onel the plugs thank you for that um
80:45
all you're doing is plugging them being mad at me for being on vessel so right
80:50
thanks a lot for that um this thing looks ridiculous yeah that's dope I can
80:57
already tell you what the review will be so I'm even spoiling it for the vessel
81:01
piece indul this thing is amazing it's
81:05
the best gaming experience in a laptop you could possibly have but it's not
81:10
really a laptop yeah that's what we just we just said that you go there's the
81:15
conclusion done peace line us out yeah
81:19
as long as long as it doesn't explode if you quick charge it it'll be fine um oh
81:23
God so Acer acknowledges that this laptop is more of a proof of concept
81:28
than any sort of like big seller in retail however Acer has become more and
81:34
more Savvy as time has gone on about gaming and I think half of it is by
81:38
accident and I think this could end up being a big hit MH so so the the draw is
81:43
that it's just so baller so I gave MSI a
81:47
ton of crap about the gt80 Titan okay I
81:50
made fun of it in my review it was very expensive computer and
81:55
I told them in person I was like this is a concept car right six months down the
82:00
road I get a I get an email like yo dog you were wrong it's a huge seller and
82:07
you know the GTA Titan right I do the one with the mechanical actual cherryx
82:11
mechanical oh that one you hated that well maybe not hated I didn't hate it it
82:14
was really cool it's not a laptop
82:18
totally Unique Piece of Hardware amazing piece of engineering just I wouldn't use
82:22
it I would never use it I know just just to look on your your face in the room
82:25
when you saw it for the first time was like oh that's not that great what is
82:28
that I'm not impressed it's just I mean
82:31
there's a reason that there's this whole market now for these external cages for
82:36
your uh laptop for your no for just
82:39
graphics cards to plug into your laptop cuz a laptop is meant to be
82:44
moved at some point yeah spoiler alert
82:47
the uh the kbl lake processor that was allegedly on the show floor somewhere
82:51
isn't a product that's like looks pretty cool for that so it's a super mobile
82:57
super mobile product so the lap so here are the base specifications I didn't
83:00
cover all of them mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX switches 21in curved IPS
83:05
display with a 2560 x 1080 resolution
83:08
four integrated speakers with two built-in you're telling me they're only doing 1080p on something that big no
83:13
yeah it's 2560 by 1080 oh so it's wider
83:17
is like like 25 or 30% more resolution
83:21
but remember this is a 21 21in display
83:24
1080p looks not bad on a 21in display
83:27
and it's 21 in of like Ultra wide display so it doesn't like it it'll be
83:31
okay I think five fans and multiple heat pipes and uh here's a here's a shot
83:37
here's actually a couple different pictures of it so here it is here it is
83:40
open let's get the screen share going here Zoom what it has a little fold out
83:45
wrist rest yep so I'm going to ask for
83:49
one for every one of our video editors okay Taran yes you're already you're
83:53
already complaining about the weight this is like 30 lb what what do you I
83:57
don't care I want a thing that I can edit with take a desktop well that we
84:03
used to do that yeah actually that's more of a pain in
84:07
the butt than taking a laptop we used Acer's super slim 23in monitor with to
84:11
carry with our desktop until we broke them when we were traveling yeah and like we were thinking of making a video
84:16
out of like desktop in a suitcase yep um
84:20
I don't think we ever did it no we never did it it's also I'm literally doing
84:23
that like next week oh I'm sorry it's been done before but not as well as you
84:26
will yeah whatever he said just because it's been done before doesn't mean I
84:29
don't want it I need it oh okay so you're making one because you want oh I
84:33
make them because we're going to use it okay okay okay not just for a video all
84:36
right so this is fun carbon Nano tube storage coming to Market in 2018 carbon
84:42
Nano tubes the only thing they can't do is
84:47
get out of the lab which is not my joke I stole that joke that's a that's a good
84:51
joke though it's still a very funny joke because there supposed to be great for
84:54
everything and yet but we never ever see them as long as the wanjo has existed
84:59
I've been talking about how amazing carbon nanot tubes are and yet I've
85:03
never seen one what are you pointing out a I'm pointing at your your logo that
85:07
has three uh carbon well okay I thought
85:12
that's what you were going for here no that's not no that is the shape of the
85:16
hexagon is this blce shape I don't know that EDS that like chist Sav I thought
85:21
that that's what you were going for no no well no sorry no all right okay so
85:29
basically fij Jitsu announced that it has licensed nanto carbon nanotube based
85:33
n RAM nonvolatile RAM which is pretty cool too like RAM discs could be much
85:39
more of a thing and will participate in a joint development effort to bring a
85:43
256 megabit 15 55 nanometer product to
85:46
Market in 2018 so
85:49
2020 if ever promising characteristics
85:53
include things like unmatchable performance we hope durability and
85:57
extreme temperature tolerance and uh the
86:01
attraction to these begins with their Dam speed so competing products like 3D
86:05
Cross Point re re RAM and PCM suffer
86:08
from limited endurance thresholds nram has been tested up to one trillion
86:13
cycles that is to say if they can ever make
86:18
one cool and they have said that Leading
86:21
Edge Products will ship with half the cost of dam and that prices will fall as
86:26
production runs up once again carbon n tubes are going to be cheaper they're
86:29
going to be faster they're going to be more reliable and you might even buy one
86:33
one day day if you live for long enough it's like that bike company that's like
86:37
here's a $5,000 bike it'll be only 500 bucks to make this in five
86:42
years overly optimistic so spacex's
86:45
rocket blew up and destroyed a Facebook satellite so that's shame dude that was
86:50
one of the coolest videos of explosions that I've seen in a long time rocket
86:55
burn it sucks that it happened yeah Mr Zuckerberg will have to just you see the
87:00
explosion and then the capsule that holds the actual satellite in like it's
87:05
still intact and you see it slowly just fall off to the side and it's it's still
87:09
intact still intact hits the ground just yeah it was it was oddly satisfying so
87:16
they were conducting a test firing of their unmanned rocket when the blast
87:20
occurred Thursday morning uh they blew up face book's first satellite costing
87:25
around 150 million
87:29
pound that's a lot of pounds there are insurance compan they could have given
87:32
that all to Ireland surely you insure that how much how much would that
87:36
insurance cost I mean why would you think that someone else's Rocket's going
87:40
to blow up on the Launchpad making your rocket fall over I mean you've got to
87:44
insure rocket fall over insurance people buy insurance for holes in one that's
87:49
true but there's certain things you can't buy insurance for though like they
87:53
wanton to insure against Earth Quakes in Vancouver bet if you pay them enough
87:57
they would no they won't why would surely like Lloyds or somebody would I I
88:02
don't know I know that you can ensure insane things like I've heard of of
88:06
celebrities uring their hair for example yeah and like Mariah car's her voice
88:09
insur or something or something like that I don't know like I I can I can see
88:13
that happening but I I don't know I don't know if that would even occur to
88:17
me that would be like the if I'm going to put my satellite on something that I
88:22
have no idea if this thing's going to the first thing I do is go for insurance
88:28
I don't know I don't know who you asked for that kind of insurance hey Geico Geico yeah satellite
88:35
insurance is this something come on get in on this you guys so the satellite was
88:40
so okay SpaceX confirmed there was an anomaly on the Launchpad that resulted
88:43
in the loss of the rocket and its payload the satellite uh
88:48
so the uh Facebook satellite was carrying technology to allow them to SP
88:54
SP beam wireless internet directly to smartphones in subsaharan Africa and
88:59
this information was reported by Tech crunch what else were they doing with
89:02
that subt yeah spot beam spot beam means
89:05
to your brain I don't know if I want to know that um this is actually pretty
89:10
great so the original poster on the Forum is good bites and the original
89:13
article here that we're pulling from is RS Technica Facebook fires human editors
89:18
oh yeah algorithm immediately posts fake news yeah wonderful breaking Fox News
89:24
exposes traiter Megan Kelly kicks her out for backing Hillary I don't know who
89:30
Megan Kelly is Fox News yeah okay she's
89:34
like an anchor reporter correspondent or something she's been involved in like a
89:38
feud with Trump or something like that anyway um so this is great so earlier
89:43
this year Facebook denied criticisms that its trending feature was surfacing
89:47
news biased against conservatives the company has fired all its human editors
89:52
replacing them with software replacing them with an algorithm that promotes
89:56
stories based on what Facebook users are talking about wow putting Facebook users
90:00
in charge of your feed oh man that's
90:05
kind of like they trying to put a positive spin on firing somebody here is
90:09
that what's going on but that's like R look Reddit if you upvote a story then
90:13
it goes to the front page so within 72 hours according to the uh Washington
90:18
Post the top story trending on Facebook was fake in a post about the changes
90:23
Facebook said said the early move to remove human editors was in direct
90:26
response to the feedback they got from the Facebook Community earlier this year
90:30
it's actually your fault this sucks so humans will still be involved with
90:33
trending in a few ways such as confirming that a topic is tied to a
90:37
current news event in the real world that is a direct quote that's important
90:41
not the fake one so now they're rehiring everybody they just fired probably not
90:46
maybe they'll hire one guy do you think they fired people over that or they just
90:50
moved what do you do fire a robot well the people before the robot robot the
90:54
people who programmed the robot cuz you said you just said like they fired
90:58
people to replace them maybe maybe they get shuffled around to I'm not sure
91:03
design satellites I don't know um okay so the rumor is uh this is
91:09
post was posted by K to to I don't know
91:12
how to pronounce that I don't care um a protype device info sticker reaffirms 32
91:17
gig base storage for the iPhone 7 to which all I have to say is it's about
91:22
time um oh oh have iPhones been super
91:26
tiny and base model 16 gigs for a device
91:29
that cost like $800 it's ridiculous still yeah that's I know to an Android
91:33
User it's Unthinkable that's pretty ridiculous like the the progressive
91:37
Android phone makers are having 64 gig based models with the ones that are
91:40
still trying to get as many dollars out of you get going with 32 I think this
91:45
one's 64 though isn't it yeah there you go there no excuse for a flagship phone
91:49
having a 16 gig model I want to try out
91:52
an iPhone soon I haven't ever touched an iPhone Brandon did it I
91:57
think it took him about three months to switch back okay that's a long time so
92:00
you know what my theory though is about why they're not doing a 16 gig model so
92:04
have you noticed that you can't buy a 512 megab SD card anymore sure yeah so
92:10
at a certain point yeah it basically
92:14
cost the same to make a larger flash
92:17
chip that a smaller flash chip because we're pretty much down to the C the bill
92:21
of materials cost at that point you're not adding any dies there are no dies
92:25
that are cheaper so I think basically it is exactly the same price Now for Apple
92:30
to do a 32 GMA I think they could have been saving as little as $2 sense and I
92:35
think they were still doing it and they just didn't care and I think well I
92:38
think part of the agenda even if it was the same price maybe it's even cheaper cuz that's something that happens
92:42
eventually too is because there's more demand more volume in manufacturing at a
92:48
capacity I just experienced that with uh thumb drives yeah we ordered a bunch of
92:52
thumb drives for here and the 16 gigs were cheaper than the eight gigs that's
92:56
right yeah that's right so so basically
92:59
I think what might have happened because Apple also wants to remote iCloud they want people investing in cloud storage
93:04
anyway so I think even at the same cost they might have preferred a 16 gig model
93:08
cuz when you're apple and you have the margins and the profits that you do you
93:11
can play around with well we're really investing in Cloud business we can throw
93:16
a couple dollars away even to the detriment of the customer directly in
93:20
order to promote a different business unit or or business model um stuff no I
93:24
never back up to the CLA do you so actually this is a great uh great
93:28
conversation um unraid has a lot of cool new features coming that might enable
93:33
you to do some self Cloud type stuff other which is pretty cool they also I'm
93:38
trying to convince them this is not confirmed but I'm trying to convince them that they should have without me
93:43
having to use crash plan or anything like that they should have a direct
93:47
unraid box to unraid box uh link that I can do uh like like offsite storage with
93:52
so just like an clone like a one button
93:55
uh you know and they they figure it's it's possible to do it with no need for
93:59
like proxy or port forwarding or anything like that but it would have to
94:03
be a paid service because you would have to at least do handle the port forwarding through their uh through
94:08
their server unless you wanted to configure it yourself anyway it's like
94:11
very much up in the air I'm trying to convince them to do it cool I think it's
94:14
important I think they could get a lot of content creators using their storage
94:18
if they could allow stuff like that L I think that I I don't think anybody
94:22
understands what you're even talking about when you talk about these things
94:26
he does well I do okay but like content creators you know who who are these
94:31
people YouTubers twitch streamers you
94:35
what yeah but I don't pay attention Oh Lordy yeah you just complain when the
94:39
server doesn't work okay well this would be an easier way for the server to work
94:42
all the time okay see now I get it perect there we go that's what I was
94:46
looking for there uh okay last topic for
94:49
today this was posted by Nicholas FD Obama signs the internet to the United
94:55
Nations what what does that even mean
94:58
yeah yeah I don't know America to hand off internet in under two months it
95:02
means America will be slightly less World Police over one fewer thing in
95:07
within two months so the Department of Commerce is set to hand off American
95:11
control of the internet over to International authorities in less than
95:14
two months they will finalize the transaction effective October 1st the
95:19
move means the internet assigned numbers Authority will move from us control to a
95:23
global one and the proposal will significantly increase the power of
95:26
foreign governments over the Internet expand Ian's historical core Mission by
95:31
creating a gateway to content regulations and embolden its leadership
95:35
to act without any real accountability
95:38
Senator Ted Cruz said so yeahor Cruz is
95:42
not a fan um but honestly I I am not
95:45
Savvy enough to know exactly what this means I will say that I'm not that cool
95:50
with America being in control of the internet but I'm also not necess I don't
95:54
necessarily think the UN is going to do any better of a job of it so I mean I
95:57
get that there's Aon is it you said Aaron there's Aaron I think AR in
96:02
there's whatever it's one of those things that means a bunch of things um
96:07
that sort of controls who gets what block yeah right I can is do they do
96:13
that I don't remember what I think I can is like um uh DNS and like maybe someone
96:18
else's something I think Aaron is the actual IP addresses whatever it is sorry
96:23
not inter this is controlling content as well no so it wouldn't be control of
96:28
content it would be in control of infrastructure and regulating it that
96:32
makes sense I guess I guess so sure true
96:35

96:40
