okay so we're live maybe and we super duper hope that uh
0:09
that we're back and I'm seeing load video so we're
0:15
definitely getting an ad on Twitch so they've got they've got that aspect of
0:19
the whole experience working which is great when was the last time you had
0:23
Pringles you know I do I do eat like a
0:26
pringle or two every once in a while really I particularly love pizza
0:31
Pringles oh Pizza Pringles are the best I know well they didn't have them at
0:35
least not in Canada Canada for a really long time and so they brought them back
0:40
and I binged a bit and then I it was it
0:44
was a terrible terrible thing for everyone involved and yeah so I guess
0:48
since we apparently didn't actually have a working stream for quite some time
0:53
last time around uh we're going to go ahead and we'll intro our topics and
0:57
we'll just kind of yeah it's definitely working now there you go I I don't know what it was we tried turning it off and
1:01
turning it back on again in netw works we were uploading fine and encoding fine
1:06
yeah so we've got some great topics for you guys today CD project red is uh well
1:12
basically they've tackled the whole downgrade issue headon they're tackling
1:17
we haven't actually seen any of that happen yet we haven't seen the tackle
1:20
they're like they they like Dove and they're right here I wouldn't even say
1:24
they've gotten that far because they've got X's and O's drawn on the Whiteboard
1:30
there is a plan to tackle well they've
1:33
been developing the yeah is it still planning maybe they're in the Huddle at
1:38
this point okay or like they're lined up on maybe they're lined up on the line of
1:42
scrimmage all right maybe they've gotten that far uh okay AMD is super super mad
1:47
about NVIDIA game works again uh what
1:51
else we got because there's a new NVIDIA games Works game makes sense also
1:54
there's apparently a 4 gab limit for the
1:57
first hbm graphics card from which they're talking a lot about and LG
2:02
is unveiling a wallpaper OLED display
2:05
don't tell them anything else about it cuz there's really not much more which
2:08
is something stay tuned to find
2:13
out oh wait it's gone where is it where
2:19
is audio audio audio AIO oh oh sorry
2:22
everyone sorry everyone I'm working on it there we go sorry sorry sorry sorry
2:28
sorry sorry we love you guys sorry to your
2:33
ears maybe at some point what we should
2:37
do is a oh whoops I forgot to put uh Squarespace squ space fresh books fresh
2:43
book I fix it I fix it you're not going
2:48
to sing it I fix
2:51
it wow that's awful okay basically what you did it's probably just as well it's
2:55
probably just as well you we were just playing horse we playing horse we
2:59
wearing almost the same shirt yes we are we were also wearing almost the same
3:04
shirt earlier that's true we were wearing inverted shirts earlier he had
3:07
the uh the gray twitch shirt the gray twitch shirt with the purple logo and I
3:11
was rocking the purple twitch shirt with the used to be white but I own it so now
3:17
it's gray logo on it all right so CD
3:22
project red is taking The Witcher 3 downgrade issues head on this was posted
3:28
by that guy who Twirls his on the Forum that is a fantastic
3:32
username and the original article here is from
3:36
eurogamer.net so let's go ahead and pull that bad boy up and pretty much the
3:41
quote here this is this is great the sub headline is we don't feel good about
3:48
it they they've one thing they've done
3:52
well throughout all of this um is they've actually maintained a lot more
3:57
openness and a lot more honest dialogue
4:00
with the community instead of just saying no that never happened um they've
4:05
come out and they've said well look yeah we could have made The Witcher 3 a PC
4:09
exclusive title uh yes it would have had
4:13
better graphics um would we have had the
4:17
financial ability were that the case to
4:20
make it such a large and immersive game no we would not have so we developed it
4:25
on multiple platforms from the sound of what people think about the game so far
4:29
that was probably worth it yeah so the thing is is that the the game is getting
4:34
rave reviews everywhere people are sinking hours and hours upon hours of
4:38
time into it already um so it's just unfortunate that the launch had to be uh
4:44
sullied by this graphical downgrade issue the good news is CD project red
4:49
has an action plan they've drawn it out on the strategy white board in a
4:54
boardroom somewhere presumably at their headquarters maybe or maybe it's a
4:58
boardroom somewhere else technically everything that he said is possible yes
5:05
um so pretty much there's a patch with updates coming and these are looking
5:09
pretty impressive not only will they give us more options to tweak in the
5:14
graphical options menu they will also be
5:17
allowing users to push graphical settings and tweak them even further by
5:21
modifying inii files which shouldn't be a feature in a less JY
5:26
like Quake 3 supports widescreen
5:30
because you just change your fov and your resolution and and I file it's
5:35
pretty old game now um it should not be a feature but the good news is that at
5:40
least we're getting it yes um so what's the timeline on that I think it's uh
5:46
next week okay sometime 27 yeah sometime
5:50
around next week I think yeah so it's oh yeah it's waiting in certification so it
5:54
should actually be dropping on Tuesday of next week now this is kind of nice
6:01
although uh so quoted quote from CD
6:05
project red for those who are still not 100% decided I definitely encourage them
6:10
to wait and see what we will be releasing in patches updates and whatnot
6:14
so it's very high road of CD project red
6:18
to say Hey you know if you're not sure about it we really want you guys to be
6:22
sure about the game before you purchase I I mean did you guys accept pre-orders
6:27
did you show off in-game footage that didn't actually end up being in the
6:30
shipping product and did you take pre-orders on that like did you do that
6:34
if we hadn't caught you on this would you have did you really think no one was
6:38
going to catch it that's a big question
6:41
I uh if it's only taking them a couple
6:44
weeks to fix this stuff why wasn't it fixed already yeah because surely they
6:50
knew after the watchdog's debacle that
6:53
someone was gonna look at gameplay
6:57
footage from a gaming event from before and compare and see that they're not the
7:01
same surely they figured that would happen you know what is pretty funny
7:05
though is the amount of like pcmr threads on on Reddit and stuff of people
7:10
um I think I only saw two of them maybe maybe there was some more but people
7:14
looking at the IGN footage where they actually did a comparison and being like
7:18
Oh I think they might have screwed up and like they labeled it improperly and
7:22
they totally didn't and the pc1 looks way better and you just don't know what
7:25
good graphics look like it's kind of funny because it doesn't seem that that
7:30
complicated does it um anyway so speaking of good graphics some of the
7:34
things we actually never mentioned this some of the things that you'll be able to tweak with the upcoming patch are
7:38
things like grass and vegetation density so if you just have more GPU horsepower
7:43
to throw at it then go hard more grass looks really good looking at a lot of
7:47
the Skyrim mods that just add grass and that's all they do it makes it look
7:50
really good grass makes every experience better um and you can add
7:53
post-processing effects like sharpening and you can increase draw distances for
7:57
me draw distances are huge one draw distances are the
8:03
difference between you know 2000 circuit
8:06
2008 World of Warcraft and a game that looks modern uh being able to amp that
8:12
up you can have the cartooni stupidest Graphics in the world and great draw
8:16
distances make the world feel bigger and I'm not talking draw distance like
8:21
there's kind of this triangle in the distance and there's like kind of like a
8:25
jagged line on the top of it that's white that's not a mountain I'm talking
8:28
draw distances that that scale in a way that feels natural so things like trees
8:33
not just as you come over a hill and like the entire Forest Pops in as you
8:38
take three steps forward that's that's really ugly that takes me right out of
8:42
the game whereas being able to increase that if you have the horses for it means
8:46
more to me than some tessellation here or a more detailed Shadow there I would
8:51
love that to be an option in a game for all the things that are like pretty far
8:54
away in draw distance to just be drawn like a little kid did it so like the
8:58
trees were like yeah with like some random triangles coming off the side and
9:02
a mountain is just literally a triangle with a squiggly you know what if someone
9:05
could find a way to do that
9:08
artfully that could actually be really cool yeah like as the object gets closer
9:14
it looks as if an older and older kid drew it yeah yeah yeah yeah so like you
9:18
could even go from uh yeah I don't know
9:22
that's kind of interesting just upgrade based on tiers of quality like you said
9:26
older and older kid did it so like from really far away it's super Derpy but you
9:30
can barely see it and as you get closer and closer and closer and closer and closer it keeps on getting better well
9:34
what the dev would have to do is
9:38
quantitatively figure out like the the
9:42
the CU not every tree could be the same tree you can just have some 2-year-old
9:47
come in and draw a tree and then that's like your tree from X distance cuz then
9:50
you're going to have that it's there's not going to be anything um smooth about
9:54
it as you move towards it it'll just be pop pop pop different objects that will
9:58
look hor whereas if they could
10:02
quantify the drawing accuracy and and
10:05
seamlessly meld from one level to another as you get closer to it You'
10:09
probably have to go backwards you'd probably have to draw the really nice one first and then kind of break it down
10:14
it would probably make your eyes bleed regardless but it seems like a cool idea
10:18
I would like to see it and I don't know why yeah I'd like to see it and then go
10:21
that's cool that was cool thanks for all that work good for you let's not use it
10:25
now yeah oh man all right so more
10:29
Witcher discussion this time posted by caram cam camaran sorry about that
10:35
caraman um AMD says and this is going to
10:39
be a whole lot of AMD says NVIDIA says
10:42
because um we haven't signed an NDA to
10:48
see the source code for NVIDIA Gameworks features so we don't know what's on the
10:53
NDA to see the source code for NVIDIA Gameworks now the good news is is that
10:59
the source code is available um to game developers who are
11:04
implementing features such as Hair Works which makes hair more realistic with
11:08
tessellated strands but the bad news is
11:11
that and this is what AMD is saying they cannot get access to the source code and
11:16
are saying therefore they cannot optimize their driver for these
11:21
particular features something that particularly makes them upset because
11:26
AMD developed features like tress FX featured in games such as Tomb Raider
11:34
2013 were possible to optimize quite
11:37
easily on NVIDIA's Hardware thanks to oh
11:41
thanks Norton oh thanks Norton my God oh
11:45
my God thanks again Norton this is why
11:48
people need Norton removal tool yeah I know right um so pretty much AMD's come
11:54
out and said that when NVIDIA dropped the Hairworks code on the game 2 months
11:59
before launch it completely sabotaged
12:03
Witcher 3 Performance now with that said
12:07
you can turn Hair Works off yep you do
12:10
not have to use it yep so that's an
12:13
option and when we do comparative testing in Witcher 3 uh we are probably
12:17
going to have to turn herir Works off just because it does completely uh widen
12:23
the gap between an NVIDIA card and AMD card to the point where it seems like
12:28
yeah that's tough we're to the point where you can't
12:32
quantitatively talk about the difference in performance between the Cards because
12:35
it becomes very subjective when you go well this one's at 62 FPS and this one's
12:40
67 but in this one you know geralt's chest hair uh you know curls very
12:45
convincingly look a lot more manly yeah so it it becomes a very difficult
12:49
discussion whereas we like to talk pure numbers whenever possible um I don't
12:54
know what else there is to say I mean something to it's a lot of the same
12:58
story yeah something to understand about this you guys is that AMD's cards
13:03
whether we're talking Wier three or whatever else straight up do not perform
13:07
as well with heavy tessellation as NVIDIA cards so until AMD releases the
13:13
let's say a rumored upcoming 390x for example with you know amped up you know
13:20
you know injections of steroids directly
13:23
into the muscle tissue not that that would necessarily help um until it's got
13:29
tessellation you know out the woo uh it
13:32
just may not even be possible for AMD to optimize and one of the things that
13:36
NVIDIA pointed out is that um a lot of
13:40
the time the driver optimizations done by AMD or NVIDIA on a game by- game
13:44
basis are based on binary builds not on source code anyway so NVIDIA is
13:48
basically going AMD shouldn't even need a source
13:52
need the source code in order to optimize
13:56
anyhow so this is one of those things where unfortunately and NVIDIA says
14:01
there's nothing in their agreement with a game developer that prevents AMD from
14:06
working with the game developer to optimize unless we actually had those
14:10
contracts and could read them we actually can't sa for sure so that's
14:16
pretty much all there is to it um the game performs better with Hair Works on
14:22
an NVIDIA feature on NVIDIA cards is
14:25
NVIDIA right to develop their features and not really lift a finger to help
14:31
people who are not their customers enjoy the features better um you could
14:36
probably say yes they are but should
14:40
they be specifically sabotaging the performance on a competitor's cards then
14:45
definitely not unfortunately we just have no way of knowing unless we
14:49
actually sat in the meeting room we have
14:52
no way of knowing if NVIDIA really has
14:56
that tight a strangle hold on these game developers that they can convince them
15:00
to sabotage their game's performance on 25 to 30% of the discret graphics cards
15:05
out there which one I put it like that sounds pretty far-fetched doesn't it can
15:09
you imagine a game developer that's so concerned about selling enough units
15:13
that they develop for multiple platforms
15:16
just saying goodbye to Performance and
15:19
annoying the customers on for a third of the PC
15:23
Gamers I don't know yeah it's possible but yeah anything's possible speaking of
15:29
yeah so we are going to do a Witcher 3 Performance thing uh like he slightly
15:33
mentioned but I think at this point it'll probably be after comex oh okay
15:38
yeah I have reasons for that fair enough yeah all right so uh
15:44
this one was posted by notional and this is looking pretty freaking cool the
15:49
original article is from english. yonhap
15:52
news. co.kr y LG display unveils wallpaper
16:00
OLED panel look at that the thing on the
16:06
right jeez so this OLED display you can see is
16:13
being uh is being lifted up so you can see the thickness you can see it's not
16:17
just embedded in the wall like a total cheat um this OLED display is less than
16:22
1 mm thick weighs less than 5 lb for a
16:28
1.9 kg yeah 1.9 thank you that's an
16:31
exact weight uh and what was that for a 55 in 55 in OLED panel less than 5
16:37
pounds oh wait what yes and uh they're
16:40
saying that their sales targets for OLED panels is
16:44
6,25 and almost triple that of 1.5
16:48
million for 2016 and that apparently LCDs took 10 years to reach these kinds
16:54
of manufacturing yields so LG given that
16:57
they're one of the few that is inv in heavily in OLED versus just kind of
17:02
continuing to push the bar on LCD and trying to sell more LCD this could put
17:06
LG in a fantastic position when it comes to
17:11
anything with a display on it because OLED has some compelling advantages
17:16
whether we're talking about mobile devices where they save power and where
17:20
or whether we're talking about really anything else with a display where they
17:23
save thickness and they increase contrast ratio and all of those things
17:27
are good uh cently they're also planning what was it a 99
17:32
in uh yes 99 in as big as a this year for
17:38
this year 99 in OLED panel and given how
17:41
much room you're saving in terms of deploying things what I want to know is
17:44
how you're going to plug anything into it I mean I guess you'll just have to
17:48
have you'll just have to have like a like a like a ribbon cable that goes to
17:53
like a control breakout box or what breakout box like the Mac they're going
17:57
to have to have something more consumer friendly obviously doesn't show any
18:01
cables in the thing which means it's probably plugged in through the back
18:05
yeah it's probably behind yeah um I mean remember guys that's the panel so it's
18:09
still going to need some Electronics in there it's not like we're going to get away from pcbs anytime soon but very
18:15
very impressive the fact that you'll be able to basically well I mean okay okay
18:21
we have a lot of thin TVs already but they'll be even thinner one of the
18:26
challenges apparently I was talking to Corning about this at CES um this last
18:31
year one of the challenges now that displays are getting so thin is not just
18:35
making them thinner apparently they can just do that now it's not making them
18:39
thinner it's actually making them strong enough to work at all so coring was
18:44
saying that one of the materials that they developed I think this was for I
18:48
want to say for LCDs um yeah it must have been for LCDs you wouldn't need
18:51
this for OLED um is a glass that is able
18:54
to disperse light evenly in the same way that the plastic layer in your existing
18:59
LCD TV would because apparently this gives it a lot more strength and you can
19:03
save an entire reinforcing layer that
19:06
awesome you would have otherwise needed um not that for me it really makes any
19:11
particular difference I think my TV is about this thick and I've never thought
19:15
to myself you know if only my TV was an
19:18
inch thinner yeah then that show would
19:21
look better it's still it's still cool that that's an option cuz if you went to the store and it was the same price and
19:26
that much thinner that's you might as well yeah like that's it's but you're
19:30
right and if your TV I wouldn't rush to the store and replace your TV your TV is
19:33
fine if your TV is like a piece of furniture if it's like a you know a show
19:38
if your house is all like modern and amazing like mine will never ever be
19:43
because there's no way I could spend that kind of money to replace things I
19:46
already own um but if you're into that sort of thing then I'm sure you'll be
19:50
into this sort of thing yeah and we can all be into things and that's cool
19:55
that's fine um Toyota Prius batteries
19:58
apparently targeted by car thieves this was posted by WTO 165 I guess it was a
20:03
matter of time because if thieves are going to steal the copper out of power
20:08
lines and risk getting killed that
20:11
happened not way too long ago like relatively close to here did it really
20:15
yeah I think they were stealing it out of like an abandoned theater or
20:19
something there you go but the power hadn't been turned off to the theater
20:23
well there you go so ripping copper wire out and just yeah and there you go Bad
20:27
News Bears that's how it my friends so
20:30
2003 to 2009 Priuses are just kind of starting to come up on battery
20:33
replacement timings that costs around
20:37
$2500 us so it's not cheap but you can
20:41
buy them on craigslists for $900 to
20:46
$1,000 now they don't put a serial number or a VIN number on the batteries
20:51
so they're pretty much untraceable that and it's being said that you can walk
20:56
out with a Prius battery in about 20 minutes if you got a couple people now
21:01
to be clear this is not as much of an issue for a pure electric vehicle like
21:05
something like a Tesla Model S because for one it's much harder to get at the
21:09
battery and it's it's in a more secure location it's not just under the trunk
21:13
and for number two it's extremely heavy what is it 1,000 lb or something stupid
21:18
like that yeah no that's really not like Tesla Model S batteries uh weigh about
21:21
1,000 lbs about 1,000 lb compared to 150 lb for something like a hybrid vehicle
21:27
so good luck having you and your buddy haul that it's possible if you're both
21:30
really th000 lb big dudes depending on
21:34
like if you had to like bend over to lift it out or something like could be
21:38
really bad could be super bad yeah um so
21:41
yeah that seems like a pretty easy way for make a, bucks pretty quick on a
21:46
Tesla you'd have to raise the whole car
21:49
yeah and then like somehow get it out of
21:52
the bottom if it was worth enough I wonder if they'd find a way to do it
21:56
very it's probably going to happen at some point yep it'll probably happen at
22:00
some point but someone's going to go get their car repaired not at a Tesla
22:04
facility and they'll drop the the relatively new battery out and put in
22:09
some crappy one or something it's really funny the um Yahoo Auto reports that the
22:15
theft seemed to be localized to San Francisco at the moment that's not
22:20
surprising they said as if that was somehow going to be a fact that we all
22:25
didn't completely assume because I don't
22:28
remember last time I saw a Prius hybrid no no no I've only ever seen I think one
22:33
or two Teslas in Vancouver at all and in
22:37
the time we were in San Fran I think we saw one or two like at all points in
22:41
time so yeah I don't know lots of places
22:45
aren't super on the electric car thing yet um other places totally are San
22:50
Fran's huge I know Norway they were everywhere it was nuts anyways that's
22:56
it's a surprisingly large amount of money that you can get from stealing
23:00
something in a car because one thing with stealing cars is they're really
23:03
difficult to sell a lot of times you have to get rid of them for like scrap or whatnot yep um and they're not going
23:08
to have too many pieces that are worth a th000 bucks with a ready buyer ready to
23:13
rock now one thing that people are being advised to do is replace the bolts
23:18
holding in your battery with security bolts of some sort and that will help
23:22
our security nuts excuse me um but you
23:26
can also just buy those you uh mhm you
23:29
can also just buy the drivers for those you yeah you can buy the drivers for those but if everyone and their dog is
23:34
using a different kind of a kind of you know nut I mean it's going to take it's
23:37
always an arms race and thieves aren't going to be able to carry around you
23:41
know 30 oh they probably can but the likelihood anyway the point for me is
23:47
not necessarily just okay maybe they didn't steal your battery it's that they
23:50
already smashed your window and they already roughed up your car only to find
23:54
out that you've got your battery in with security nuts in which case I don't know
23:58
do they vandalize it like more right you
24:03
know do they slash your seats while they're at it that'll teach you for securing your back I don't know it
24:08
doesn't seem to help because once someone's broken into your car they've basically done the damage like I had my
24:13
car back when I used to lock my doors I had my car broken into twice to steal my
24:18
deck that was worth less than $100 costing me multiple hundreds of dollars
24:22
in window replacements so I just stopped locking my car fine if you want my deck
24:26
just take it and the funny thing is no one's taking in my deck since
24:30
then cuz I think they were they saw the deck or not they broke in seeing if
24:35
maybe there's anything else that's actually worth something and then cuz I
24:39
don't I don't know if the deck is worth breaking in for I I don't know the funny
24:43
thing is I wonder if unlocking leaving your doors unlocked will even help or if
24:47
people are just going to walk up to it assume that it's locked and break the window anyways I haven't had my window
24:51
broken since then that's true so there you go it happened twice in like 3
24:56
months back where I used to live so pretty insane yeah that was pretty not
25:00
cool all right so this is very
25:04
interesting we've got an update to the
25:07
Pentium D lineup and we're getting Zeon
25:12
D's and I'm all about the D this was posted by a Ming oh I am uh and the
25:18
original article here is from CPU dworld
25:22
Doom so we're getting a quad core
25:25
Pentium d That's a 20 5 water yeah
25:30
however I don't think we should be expecting any kinds of impressive clock
25:35
speeds for that and there doesn't seem to be any kind of information about
25:39
whether they'll be unlocked like the previous um Pentium anniversary edition
25:45
so just because Pentium D's which were
25:48
what did that stand for I think that was Pentium dual core that back when it was
25:52
actually a high-end product so just cu the Pentium D name is coming back
25:56
doesn't mean we're necessarily getting any that spectacular Although seeing a
26:00
25 watt quad core with six Megs of cach
26:03
is looking pretty cool and Zeon D's
26:06
hyper low power xeons probably very low
26:09
clock speed again with 9 or 12 Megs of cache at 35 35 and 45 watt tdps so this
26:18
is going to be great mate8 out of eight
26:22
for folks who want to build like um you know a cheapo Fraz server for example
26:27
where you need ECC memory support but you don't want to be spending multiple
26:31
hundreds of dollars on a CPU necessarily unless you're building like some
26:35
redonkulous you know massive high performance array and putting you know
26:39
10 gig Ethernet into it there's no point you might as well save the power and
26:43
save the cost and get something that's pretty
26:46
lowend there's not really a ton else to say about it I don't think there's a
26:51
yeah it's still preliminary specs it doesn't really tell us anything yeah
26:54
mostly boring stuff yep I guess we'll hear more in the relatively near future
26:59
so up next we've got this was posted by obscure maybe we know nothing about it
27:05
so yeah I I doubt it because rumors for
27:08
Intel stuff are usually really early and really accurate that's a good point so
27:13
so maybe like q1 next year I don't know
27:16
yes uh this was posted by obscure mammal on the Forum and the original article
27:21
here is from RS Technica and I'll let you you just let me post it first I'll
27:25
be back in a moment uh so it it has
27:29
infected a fair number of web servers uh
27:32
largely tens of thousands largely websites and mail server specifically
27:37
it's about 8.4% of the top 1 million websites so it's not an insane amount
27:42
but it's pry definitely noteworthy um
27:46
don't worry ours are fine anyways uh
27:50
basically what happens is you're able to weaken the https encryption uh bit key
27:57
so basically I think you can down it to 512
28:01
bits instead of 1024 above
28:05
so yeah that's kind of bad because then
28:09
people can crack it much easier researchers are already working on
28:12
developing uh patches for major browsers like Chrome Firefox and Safari which
28:18
where they will reject encryption connections that are below 1024 bits so
28:24
yeah I don't know it's really not that big of a deal yeah apparently this has
28:27
been around for a long time most of these are around for a long time to be
28:31
honest so this was established so it's basically it's just a way of snooping on
28:35
your data again and this was established by the Clinton Administration so the FBI
28:40
and other agencies could break the encryption used by Foreign entities yeah
28:45
so so honestly you probably don't have that much to worry about it's 8.4% of
28:50
websites um you that sounds pretty
28:55
worrisome uh the the the so the attack has been dubbed Log Jam yeah um and it's
29:01
can only be exploited against a subset of servers that support the Diffy Helman
29:06
key exchange so that allows the two parties to exchange a secret key over an
29:10
unsecured public channel so it basically takes that and it downgrades the
29:14
encryption so that it can be easily cracked it's it's still encrypted yes to
29:20
be clear it's like it's it's honestly not that bad it sounds a little bit
29:24
worse than it is it's not a good thing by any means but the browser guys
29:28
already releasing patches for it it's still technically encrypted they're
29:31
still going to have to fight through your stuff and it's still going to have to be kind of a man in thee middle
29:35
attack so using your already existing
29:38
knowledge as Tech folks maybe don't log into your bank on a public Wi-Fi
29:44
network yeah um and like have different
29:47
passwords for things it's it's not great it's a bad thing but there's been much
29:52
worse in recent history in terms of like online virus stuff isn't that a sad
29:57
State of Affairs is kind of a sad State of Affairs but like that has to be your
30:00
spin on this to say it is though that's what you have to say it is like stuff
30:04
like heart bed was way worse right um
30:07
and whatever the other recent ones were I just remember heart bed because the
30:11
name is really cool um but yeah Log Jam
30:15
not a good thing not as bad as it maybe sounds immediately I'm trying to
30:19
remember what some of the like some of the expit with like really cool names
30:24
were like Blaster virus Ms blaster
30:28
cool named viruses is someone really going to have
30:32
you know it's the internet of course list of viruses list of oh oh no no oh
30:37
the top 10 most destructive computer viruses there you go fourth hit of
30:42
course everyone's going to have like someone on the Internet is going to have
30:45
a list like that I'm excited right now so what do we got stck net that's not
30:49
that cool that's not that cool sounding conficker no that's not cool sounding no
30:54
Zeus Zeus I my dude Doom yeah my Doom is cool my
31:00
Doom might win okay so uh let's go ahead
31:03
and Slammer code red okay okay mic a
31:07
little old Microsoft reveals upgrade paths to Windows 10 this was posted by
31:12
Good Bites and the original article here is win beta.org
31:16
so nothing too surprising here if you
31:20
have Windows 7 or eight or 8.1 within
31:23
the first 12 months you get a free upgrade to Windows 10 this we already
31:27
knew so the main difference here is that they're explaining well which version
31:32
you have which corresponds to which version of Windows 10 one thing I was
31:36
wondering about here though is wasn't there a Windows 10 ultimate I don't
31:40
think so where's that Windows 10 versions list that we had uh that's from
31:44
last week cuz there's like 100 bazillion versions of it but I think in terms of
31:49
what they're selling in a box to customers it's going to pretty much be
31:52
Windows 10 home Windows 10 Pro okay so
31:55
if you have Windows 8 or 8.1 you get Windows 10 home if you have Windows 7
31:59
Home basic which is cool or Home Premium
32:02
you get Windows 10 home what an upgrade W that's pretty cool yeah so if basic
32:07
that's sick if you cheaped out on Windows 7 Home basic which had like I
32:13
forget what the limitations are like when four gigs of RAM I think was it 4
32:17
gigs I think so and it like I know there's a RAM limitation of some sort
32:22
yeah I I was it even two gigs of R it
32:25
might have been two I don't remember what it was I just remember it was really it was brutal it was available in
32:29
Emerging Markets some Windows Arrow
32:32
options were excluded um activation restrictions blah
32:38
blah blah anyway yeah it was it was lame
32:41
and someone to Twitch chat's going to tell us yeah of course they are um so
32:45
you are actually going to get an upgrade to Windows 10 real deal is it home basic
32:51
okay no four gigs four gigs people are saying both yeah okay four gigs yeah
32:55
maximum phys starter was two gigs St was 2 gigs that's yeah that's the brutal one
33:00
so um 32-bit is four 64-bit you could
33:03
have 8 gigs of RAM um you there was a
33:07
64-bit version available but not in retail SKS so that's another cool thing
33:11
is you're going to be able to upgrade to a 64-bit OS if you only had a 32-bit one
33:15
that's cool partial support for Windows Arrow uh no built-in DVD decoder um no
33:22
multi-touch support no Windows Media Center no premium games included any
33:28
cares about that um no encrypting file
33:31
system no group policies no Windows XP modes so no backwards compatibility ease
33:37
of ease of use thing I've used that before it's been very useful like lots
33:41
of things basically it's like a g ginormous just total poo column of red
33:47
total poo yeah so this this is it here so super cool and then if you have uh
33:52
Windows 7 or Windows 8 ultimate or
33:55
professional then you're going to get a copy of Windows 10 Pro yeah so those
33:59
that all makes sense those ultimate folks they just never really got
34:02
anything for their money did they no no they did not remember remember when
34:07
Vista launched and Microsoft had all those promises about ultimate and like
34:12
the additional like cool stuff it was going to
34:16
get I guess they get an update to Windows
34:19
10 no they don't cuz that was visc they
34:22
get nothing that would be cool if Microsoft was like okay do you have this
34:28
invol installed if you actually spent
34:32
$250 or whatever it was on Windows Vista
34:37
ultimate we're going to give you Windows 10 they should have just randomly like
34:41
four years down the line been like you all get free office uh 365 for 4 years
34:46
or something like that they should have just done something like we like you guys cuz like I remember there was like
34:51
ultimate extras on like the install disc and they were stupid and I just like
34:57
what is this rubbish so like anyone installing a legitimate OS you could
35:01
tell who was pirating cuz they'd have Windows Vista ultimate well yeah no one
35:06
really installed it if they bought it I worked in Tech shops at that point in
35:10
time so you you you'd go and you'd be updating the machine you go to Windows update and there's all the language
35:14
packs and it's just
35:17
like just INE obviously PIR just in case you wanted Croatian yeah yeah well I'm
35:23
just like okay well there's no way this
35:26
dude has a legit version of Windows at all looking looking at how his setup is
35:31
running and just like Windows Ultimate
35:34
makes zero sense in almost any build let alone this one all right so let's move
35:39
on to our next one another article from RS Technica and the original poster here
35:44
is Sam Fisher what stealthy
35:48
celebrity um AMD confirms four Gigabyte
35:53
limit for first hbm graphics card now to be clear um um that headline is a little
36:00
bit misleading because it says 4 gab
36:04
limit um I mean the amount of memory on
36:08
a graphics card could be defined as the limit to the memory on it but that
36:13
doesn't necessarily mean that the rumored R9 390x will never get an 8 gig
36:18
version right all that means is that it's going to be a 4 gig card so calling
36:23
it a limit is true but just that is
36:26
super sketchy though really wonky that's all so basically the way that hbm works
36:32
and the problems with gddr5 are that it takes up a lot of
36:37
space which requires a lot of traces on the PCB it uses a lot of power so gddr5
36:44
has increased in the last three years by
36:48
what like one gig of transfer per second
36:52
in terms of like the stock clock speeds on cards like it it it's at the limit to
36:57
the point where AMD is saying if we push gddr5 any further we're going to use up
37:02
so much of that power budget that they have to build a graphics card because if
37:06
they want it to be PCI Express compliant it has to fit within a certain power
37:10
envelope they're going to use up so much of that addressing RAM that they're not
37:14
going to have enough left to build a GPU that's powerful enough to drive
37:17
performance forward with that said NVIDIA hasn't had any trouble I was just
37:22
going to say um I don't know maybe just
37:25
make your GPU more efficient yeah the could be a thing well remember a big
37:29
part of the problem right now is that smaller manufacturing processes are not
37:33
readily available to the GPU Guys these are large complicated chips and we're
37:37
only just now finally seeing Intel
37:41
rolling out 14 nmet CPUs uh Beyond those
37:45
core M like you know for like Ultra
37:48
books and tablets and stuff processors we're only just now seeing rumors that
37:53
Samsung's going to be manufacturing the upcoming A9 chip for Apple at 14 NM so
37:58
GPU guys I mean how far down are they on
38:01
the pecking order compared to apple and like Intel making its own stuff in its
38:07
own Fabs that it doesn't lease to others no so
38:11
never can you imagine an AMD Graphics chip being manufactured by
38:18
Intel in a in a world I literally can't
38:21
I can't even join your story I literally can't imagine you're just not even going
38:25
to you're not going to walk down this you go down this rabbit hole with me hey
38:29
just imagine how screwy that would be I mean would Intel be able to talk them
38:33
into having like you know like a little I even you know and like a year number
38:38
like date stamped on like I I I don't know if I would even
38:43
want to see that just do like double digit things so I13 I15 I
38:50
17 um okay what else can we say about it so I 17 graphics card so AMD says one
38:56
gab of of gddr5 takes up 672 mm squ of
39:01
space versus a 1 GB stack so they have
39:04
like these through fars through the Stacked memory of hbm that takes up just
39:09
35 mm squar so this is something that's kind of funny because one of the renders
39:14
floating around of the 390x had it as like a stubby card with the amount of
39:20
space that AMD is saving on the PCB what what are they going to put on it yeah
39:24
really power delivery and a GPU and like
39:29
little like four four memory chips cuz like remember like one of the marks of a
39:34
high-end card was like the big PCB with
39:37
like you know 12 memory chips on each
39:40
side of it because it had so much RAM well we're not necessarily even going to
39:44
need that anymore I mean one approach could be that we could start putting 16
39:47
to 24 gigs of r on GP 64 gigs of RAM but
39:53
I I don't think we're at a point yet where the data entire game into VR yeah
39:57
like the data Integrity is not even going to be high enough to put that much
40:01
memory on a GPU at this stage you you'd have to put ECC memory on it that would
40:07
be pretty cool though if you could load the whole game into all the gamees
40:11
texture files into vram you know what this actually uh ties in pretty well to
40:15
uh a tweet a tweet oh this is from my uh my
40:21
good buddy Johan Anderson okay I met him once but he's really nice super nice um
40:27
super nice he is like the guy for frostbite so there you go this actually
40:34
looks a lot like that looks really nice the
40:37
render um okay so hold on does it look like a stubby
40:41
card yeah is that the end of the
40:45
card maybe it could also just be a shiny
40:48
part and that could be the end of the black oh oh I'm not screen sharing I'm
40:52
sorry very good there we go very very good so we're just wondering if this is
40:55
I don't know because you can yeah I see that see the pixels you could definitely
40:59
be right it could also just be a shiny reflection thing
41:03
enhance enhance no I think so yeah no
41:07
you could now that we've enhanced it now that yes it was only because of the
41:10
enhancement I didn't wave my hand enough enhance enhance zoom in there zoom in
41:15
you press the hot key while I wave my hand enhance enhance
41:21
why why I want to see that emoji closer
41:26
emoji it's happy should I should I keep call should I keep calling them emot
41:31
emoticons cuz like I'm the older generation that's that's what we used to
41:35
call them an emoticon wait they're different is an an
41:39
emoji the icon well we used to call the
41:42
we used to call you mean like the image based ones right yeah we used to call
41:45
those emoticons too yeah yeah I did yeah
41:49
so are Emoji like a specific thing this
41:52
could be a great discussion topic Emoji versus emoticon the
41:58
guardian.com has an article from February we should do a fast as possible
42:02
on this Alex Hearn sets the record straight once and for all okay I have to
42:08
know I do too I'm interested I'll read with you they are not the same thing
42:13
okay and this is bold the continued confusion of the two will not
42:18
stand it's not bold actually um but I wish it was at issue was a piece of
42:23
information that the Silk Road Founders lawyer suggested was critically
42:27
important yet was emitted by federal prosecutors an emoji symbol is sometimes
42:32
calls a version of a smiley face an
42:35
emoticon is a typographic display of a facial representation like this and
42:41
there you go it looks like you're right an emoji is apparently an actual picture
42:48
yeah okay so like your your little Skype
42:51
or Google Hangouts little Emoji things
42:54
are emojis and actually typing like colon bracket is aoon so Emoji are
42:59
treated by the computer this is an important distinction so the reason we
43:03
care is not because the meaning is different but because Emoji are treated
43:06
by the computer as letters from A nonwestern language in much the same way
43:10
that a Japanese or Chinese character would which also means that the software
43:15
has to explicitly support them so all
43:18
this makes perfect sense to me now I think this distinction must have come
43:22
later because to my knowledge MSN
43:27
messenger which is where I cut my teeth on online chat sort of I guess I was
43:31
also on uh uh what was that other one icq right I wasn't I was messenger
43:37
forever only messenger you're you're too young for icq pretty much like it was
43:42
already dying yeah it was dying it was falling off pretty quick I knew people
43:45
that had it I knew people that wanted me to get it but it was like kind of falling out of Grace So MSN Messenger
43:50
called call them emoticons or emoticons even once even once that uh once they
43:56
had like real images in it so yeah all right well oh oh right we should
44:01
probably do our our sponsors sponsor call
44:04
outs are we going to do like manly sponsor call outs we could should I
44:10
sabotage Nick sabotage all right so our
44:13
first sponsor is freshbooks freshbooks freshbooks.com so
44:20
what is freshbooks smell a new book that's not it but it smells good there
44:24
is no book involved no but it is a fresh way of doing your bookkeeping see how I
44:30
brought that train right back on the rails so fresh books is an online tool
44:34
if you run your own business and you're self-employed or they're both very
44:38
similar I guess the point is if you're Your Own Boss fresh books allows you to
44:42
keep track of little things like how many hours you worked on a particular
44:47
job um any invoices that you have to
44:50
expense for a particular job creating the invoice for your clients sending it
44:55
off to them seeing that they've read it that is such a huge thing like as
45:00
someone who like it's it's stuff like that that gets my attention it's like
45:04
you I could so they can't claim that they didn't get my invoice not to
45:08
mention that with fresh books you don't have to muck around in your existing
45:12
accounting software you'll have it with you on the go and your customers can
45:16
even pay you by credit card making it easy for you to know they got the bill
45:21
and easier for them to pay it if you want to feel like a boss then go ahead
45:25
and use products that make you feel like a boss visit freshbooks.com slw and in
45:30
the how did you hear about us enter
45:33
when when just wi when show they're not
45:37
going to know what they mean just when well they'll probably know all right
45:41
next up oh where's your kit ifixit.com
45:44
why do we like these guys because they save our butts on a daily basis what I
45:51
have this thing you have what thing this thing oh right well is there audio no I
45:55
don't think so but well that's the thing I'm holding and that's their it looks
45:59
better though that's their Protek tool kit that we absolutely love Brandon did
46:03
it so there's like some tri-wing screwdriver security Torx there's your
46:08
anti-static wrist WP which we used in the Makey make video you should always
46:11
wear uh there's some little prying tools and pokers you know it's funny the blue
46:15
ones are the ones that I thought were important um but it turns out I was
46:20
using the blue ones in a lot of situations where I was actually supposed
46:24
to use the black ones supposed to use this one yeah so this one is well no
46:29
it's not about the ESD I thought that one was ESD uh it's about the fact that
46:33
uh it doesn't get damaged as easily when you're poking it stuff it's made out of
46:36
a bit of a harder plastic so this one is a harder plastic for kind of working on
46:40
metal whereas that the blue ones are so are soft enough that you can work on
46:46
plastic without accidentally damaging it so they've got lots of different stuff
46:49
in there a variety of different tweezers want to know something I discovered
46:53
recently what uh in the screwdriver kit
46:57
one of these ones at the top is not a socket it's actually a magnet oh no way
47:03
yeah it's a socket with a magnet in it okay that's pretty cool actually had no
47:06
idea yeah it's a little grabby tool and you know what's funny is I uh I realized
47:10
that and immediately legit use it a then I found it okay um so anyway the prot
47:15
tech toolkit is just one of the products on iFixit website that allows you to
47:18
easily well fix oh or just haart and not
47:22
fixed you know whatever Cowboy uh to fix your electronics so
47:27
ignore that offer code oh ignore that offer code it is wow 06 w wow we're that
47:33
far behind you will save $10 off any purchase of $50 or more and the Protek
47:37
toolkit is $64.95 so basically it's
47:40
$54.95 go hard yeah all right finally
47:44
we've got Squarespace Squarespace is one of the longest standing sponsors of the
47:48
W show and uh what can we say we love
47:52
those guys it's pretty much the way to build your website easily quick quickly
47:57
and affordably I used them personally and not as a sponsorship sponsorship
48:02
thing I specifically didn't go through our contacts really yeah I actually
48:05
didn't know that part of it yeah I'm not no I think you told me that before I
48:08
remember saying I didn't know that probably so at one point I didn't know
48:12
that which was now and then I didn't know it again
48:16
yeah um so the point is if you want your site to look beautiful and operate
48:21
smoothly whether it's on a phone or whether it's on
48:25
uhop whatever whatever the case may be no coding is required however if you do
48:30
know some coding then you can actually play around with it a little bit and get
48:34
into the nuts and bolts as well their uh
48:37
their templates are beautiful they're great if you want to make a Blog if you want to make a portfolio if you want to
48:42
run a store store yeah their Commerce stuff is great the Commerce stuff is a
48:45
big one that they've added in the time that we've actually been talking about them on W show store software is like
48:50
way better than ours I've kind of been thinking about just redirecting like the
48:53
button that you click we should probably actually do that yeah straight up I was
48:57
thinking about that too and then I forgot to tell you it's it's an idea
49:01
it's probably just a way better idea cuz our storefront is terrible just balls
49:05
anyway start your free trial site today uh the free trial lasts for two weeks at
49:10
squarespace.com and if you decide to sign up for Squarespace you can get 10%
49:15
off the first time around by using offer code lonus Squarespace build
49:21
it it's in the notes I know it's in the notes I'm just following the notes all
49:26
right so this is the part where I don't screw over Nick because I wasn't talking
49:30
about getting all the sponsor reads wrong not that that hasn't happened
49:33
before Nick and I have a bet this is a
49:37
pretty serious business bet it's a lot
49:41
more serious than I think he's really going to put on yeah I'm not going to
49:44
tell you guys what it is but if you're subscribed to Channel Super Fun you are
49:47
going to see the result one way or another and it's going to either be
49:51
amazing or really unpleasant so pretty much we have much
49:56
you're screwed finally I have refused
50:00
for so long he's pushed for it y Nick's
50:04
pushed for it my wife's pushed for it everyone has wanted this for quite some
50:10
time can you post that please give just a plain linest Tech tips shirt I always
50:16
kind of went so like if you feel like why would I want a linest tech tips logo
50:19
on my chest I've always been with you it never made any sense to me lonus Tech
50:24
tips to me was like not the kind of I just it's not that I didn't want one
50:29
like I'm proud to wear it but I just I wasn't I didn't know that our viewers
50:33
were going to be like would be amped up about like just a plain clean Linus Tech
50:37
tips shirt so I refused to make one I was like no let's have like bro fist on
50:42
the front or like you know a picture of a
50:45
cat naughty word on it and all those are great things but we are finally doing it
50:51
a lius tech tips shirt now this one will be available in the long term on some
50:57
store actually it might be not on District ls.com but somewhere else more
51:01
details it'll be in the link of the description of the video that we tell you it's on yeah it'll be somewhere but
51:06
for now it's on Teespring as a limited edition campaign and the only difference
51:10
between this one and the ones that'll be available later are that these ones as a
51:16
nod to the people who love to be first
51:19
say first on the back we love you guys
51:23
please don't comment on our videos but we're still going to Pander You by
51:27
releasing a shirt that says first on the back although if you comment on the
51:31
video and say first and then link a an image to you wearing the shirt with
51:35
first on the back then we'll still hate you but it'll
51:40
be less not as much yeah there you go slightly lower it's never really
51:45
bothered me that much like I've actually done it on my own videos like before I
51:48
said it live I'll post first I like that just cuz I'm just CU I'm kind of a troll
51:53
by Nature um but the internet at large
51:57
will definitely hate you yes for for posting first with your first shirt so
52:01
there you go apparently 14 of them are gone already how quickly did that
52:04
happened everyone in uh everyone in chat is already saying first all over the
52:09
place excellent all right so there you go guys we finally have a lonus tech tip
52:13
shirt they're on teesprings so they'll be Avail sometime in the summer you'll
52:17
actually receive it they've actually gotten faster in the time we've been using them so that's cool let's move on
52:22
to more topics shall we more topics
52:26
W what do we got oh here we go ah yes
52:30
more AMD news word on the street is that
52:35
AMD's Fiji so the rumored 390x what Nick
52:39
will retail at why are you here I thought you guys were still talking
52:42
about shirts I just wanted to say we have lots of different variations available including ladies shirts you
52:46
should get them yeah we have ladies shirts we have L Shir we have ladi's
52:50
v-neck a lady's tank top and a lady's regular t-shirt no way I'm getting one
52:53
for my wife freaking a lot of just like men's or whatever oh that's cool when
52:59
she doesn't wear it I'm going to be like super sad when what when when my wife
53:03
doesn't wear it I'm just going be like
53:06
get her seven of them we should them we should all get uh women's shirts for the
53:11
respective ladies in our lives and then just like like I'll go in for my mom and
53:15
my mom will wear it but like no one else will and then when we don't see them
53:19
wearing it just be like why not why don't you like my are you not proud of
53:24
me why don't you wear the shirt sorry Hi
53:27
chat thanks guys all right so this is
53:30
from fudzilla decom is it the single
53:34
most uh reputable site on the internet no but fudo also gets it right a fair
53:40
amount of uh a fair amount of the time fudo uh F add it fudo is his nickname
53:46
okay yeah okay yeah I didn't know his nickname was fudo he is also jumping on
53:51
my bandwagon about that other headline about the 4 Gig limit uh 4 gig first 8
53:56
gig to follow apparently I do know that 8 gigs is more complicated and I do I
54:01
have heard rumors that the hbm chips uh
54:04
yields are not fantastic so a high-capacity card might be
54:08
prohibitively expensive not that NVIDIA mind's releasing a graphics card for
54:12
$1,000 anyway but um slightly more than
54:15
that AMD is being the value solution again and aiming apparently for around
54:20
850 bucks value solution 850 bucks
54:23
somewhere between the Titan X and the GeForce GTX 980 I don't know if we can
54:30
call it the value solution I don't know if I'm okay with that with that said
54:35
that's really expensive for a value solution there are rumors hey saving
54:40
$150 is saving $150 yeah but it's a card for like over
54:47
$800 and it does only have four gigs of memory compared to Titan X's
54:54
12 okay we we'll we'll we we we'll wait
54:57
for the performance stuff I just don't know if you can say it's a value card we
55:00
also really need to see what the counter is going to be from the Green Camp
55:05
because there's a lot of rumors floating around about a GTX 980 TI a lot of
55:11
rumors floating around I've seen some rumors about that particular thing um
55:16
but what we don't know anything about is is pricing so if NVIDIA released a 980
55:23
TI would they price it more similar ly
55:26
to the GTX 9980 now and drop the price
55:29
of the 980 really putting in the thumb screws on AMD potentially unless the
55:34
390x crushes the Titan X which we don't know yeah that's true I think honestly
55:39
they'll play very reactionary if they need to they'll drop it they've done
55:42
that before if they don't need to they won't drop it they've done that before
55:46
here's the funny thing though the funny thing is this I guarantee you AMD knows
55:51
everything there is to know about the 980 TI right now and NVIDIA knows
55:55
everything there is to know about the 390x right
55:59
now probably they probably even have cards like straight
56:04
up so whatever happens is just going to be
56:09
like it's like it's like a game of like cards where they just can both see each
56:13
other's cards so just cuz you know how we've seen it time and time again in the
56:17
last couple of years where every card that launches slots in perfectly with
56:22
the rest of the landscape both of these cards are just going to make perfect
56:25
sense depending on whether you have $850 to spend or however much a 980 TI costs
56:31
I can't wait for you to do a value build log with an $850 graphics card that
56:36
would be awesome you should just try to find the cheapest possible way to build
56:42
all the rest of the computer and then keep it under a gr no dog the the intro
56:46
the intro for scrapyard Wars eBay all the parts except for except for the
56:53
graphics card the intro for that video right itself because remember there was
56:58
that whole headline with Lisa Sue AMD CEO saying they don't want to be known
57:02
as the value solution an $850 graphics card you guys
57:07
keep releasing those you're going to be the value solution
57:13
forever oh my God we could troll the crap out of them that would be hilarious
57:18
super awesome that would be kind of a fun idea for a build though put in like
57:24
the cheapest stuff that will be able to actually run that graphics card but with
57:29
modern things and see how it goes all
57:33
right so this is actually this is actually going to be uh this actually
57:38
ties in pretty well so we've got we're going to do a Twitter Blitz here all
57:43
right and this is always my favorite kind of question because it's the
57:47
question where there is no answer there's just speculation so many people
57:52
ask me this all the time like what is going to be the graphics card to buy of
57:58
the Next Generation because it looks like it's going to be 980 tii versus
58:03
390x and this is actually about um or
58:08
wait that doesn't really tie in that well you know what let's do it anyway so
58:12
we're going to do it as a straw pull instead since it's fair a fairly easy
58:16
question to answer so GTX 780 Ti versus
58:22
r9390x and I'm just even speculating yes
58:25
no and what is yes and no to this question
58:29
oh right those aren't really very okay I'm sorry
58:34
GT it's like what the heck is that 780
58:37
Ti yeah oh crap that so is the title
58:41
what are you doing what am I even doing why is the 780 Ti the only card that
58:46
exists in my mind because they're nerfing it are they what have you heard
58:52
the news they Nerf what what there's people talking about news NVIDIA driver
58:57
revisions I don't know how this didn't end up in the dock but apparently new NVIDIA driver revisions are making the
59:01
7080 TI a little bit worse 780 Ti yeah
59:06
really cuz I heard about them I I I haven't looked into it enough to talk
59:09
about it in depth but I heard about them possibly nerfing the overclocking on the
59:13
970m and 980m again interesting no this
59:16
is desktop card stuff though um um I haven't I haven't had time to try it I
59:21
do kind of want to check it out how fascinating it could also just
59:25
be fixed in the very next driver right so it's also possible I am trying to
59:31
post the straw poll I do not straight up remember my twitch password so that is
59:36
very challenging for me at this time I'm a challenged sort of person and it
59:40
doesn't really help when the chat loads phenomenally slowly here we
59:45
go there's our
59:48
strle oh wait where' my link to it go there it is this is what happens when
59:53
you have oh that's not it when you have like 300 bazillion tabs so let's see the
59:57
results as they roll in and let's move on into our next topic what do we
60:02
got apparently 22% of you are going to put a turnup in your next
60:07
computer huh I didn't know we had that many Xbox Gamers watching this stream
60:15
oh D YouTube launches 60 FPS live streaming
60:20
in quest to take on Twitch this is posted on the
60:24
brige was posted on the Forum by tangra
60:28
there you know what the funny thing about these straw poles is what is it just straight up doesn't matter how long
60:33
we look at the results after the first like 10 seconds the proportion never
60:37
changes yeah it's like it's like how big
60:40
of a sample size is enough apparently the first 10 seconds cuz it's like done
60:47
and let's see everyone okay okay let's see if we can even change it if we want
60:50
to guys if you haven't voted get in there turn it power come on vote for
60:56
turnip vote for turnup # vote for turnup
60:59
yes we got to bring the turnup in line
61:02
with the 980 TI or beat it okay come on
61:06
turnip and I've enabled actually this is news we didn't even okay so I'm going to
61:10
put away the straw pole so you guys can't see if it's working how beautiful that is how could you not vote for that
61:15
there's a new feature on Twitch so before we get into YouTube 60fps
61:19
streaming twitch has a new feature that has um shortened the delay remember back
61:25
when they changed their server configuration so that there was that
61:29
massive up to over a minute delay between stream and chat now there is a
61:33
beta feature that you can go ahead and enable within your dashboard in order to
61:38
sorry I can't keep a straight face turn beating 390x turn it power man um yes
61:47
come on so is this how politicians win
61:50
elections it's just if we tell them hard enough to vote for it they turn
61:56
yes this is what campaigning is all about that's right that's why going door
62:01
Todo Works kids for turnup we should just go door
62:06
to door leave turnips on the doorsteps like a little toothpick in it a little
62:09
sign vote for turnup next time there's a local election verman Supreme just goes
62:14
around and leaves boots with little turnips in the top on everyone's store
62:18
awesome how many people would get that reference so twitch has a new feature that allows us to interact with you guys
62:23
more closely does it bring it back to the way it was before no but I think
62:30
it's able to shorten it up to like 15 to 20 seconds or something like that like
62:34
definitely significant difference a better yeah yeah it's a lot better so
62:37
very very good news it's better to the point where you're not waiting like 2
62:41
minutes for a response because you type it in then it takes so long for him to
62:44
see it and then he says and it takes so long for you to see it and it's just
62:48
ridiculous all right so the original article here is from The Verge let's go
62:51
ahead and fire that up
62:58
so what is there really oh no I just closed the dog way to go I'll be there
63:02
in a moment there isn't a ton to specifically say other than the title
63:06
but it is interesting that YouTube is trying this hard there's been a huge
63:10
we've talked about this a little bit in previous shows but there's been a huge
63:14
push for online video in general um
63:17
streaming especially I'd actually say with isubu getting tons of funding
63:21
lately um twitch continuing to completely explode which just being
63:27
absolutely insane acquired by Amazon not exactly a small deal Google trying to
63:32
kind of start a fight which looks a lot more interesting than isu's so far not
63:37
super successful push but anyway the thing about YouTube is that and there's
63:42
there's something that they have to overcome here is that Google finally
63:45
woke up to the fact that gaming content is popular on YouTube and has decided to
63:51
actually give two craps about it at all
63:54
so it took them so long there was never any reason for twitch to be allowed to
63:58
exist YouTube could have easily
64:01
supported these features before and maybe twitch would have never been able
64:06
to spring up out of completely the woodwork and just completely dominate
64:11
online game streaming but the good news for YouTube is that twitch is not
64:17
interested right now in being a video
64:20
repository so Gamers have had to kind of
64:24
support both platforms forms because if you want to Archive anything and have it
64:28
be actually discoverable on you know the what is it the second largest search
64:32
engine or whatever that thing Everyone likes to say is second largest search
64:36
engine in the world they want to be discoverable they have to support
64:39
YouTube even if their followings aren't as big over there and if they want to
64:43
live stream twitch has been the only way to do it because that's where you get
64:46
the actual support for things like third
64:49
party streaming software like xplit which we love um or if you want to say
64:54
for example stream at FPS which people love we stream at resolutions other than
64:58
1080p which people love so you have to support these two platforms so guys like
65:04
us who are heavily invested in YouTube yeah actually have a pretty decent
65:09
presence on Twitch if the push ever came to shove and we wanted to start
65:13
investing in twitch more heavily and many twitch streamers maybe they don't
65:17
have you know 1.3 million subscribers on
65:21
YouTube or whatever the number is maybe they've got 800 or 880,000 or 15 ,000 or
65:26
something like that compared to a massive following on Twitch well hey
65:29
that's not insignificant either a huge part of building a channel is that first
65:34
20 or 30 or 50,000 you work so much
65:38
harder for the first 100,000 subscribers than you do for a subsequent
65:43
250,000 that's the way it works once you gain critical mass I mean if you were
65:48
never going to hit 100,000 subscribers then like none of this is applicable but
65:52
if you were going to get big you work so much harder for it at the beginning
65:56
um so you know very interesting I don't
66:00
necessarily see it changing immediately
66:03
yeah I really wonder how this is going to go because twitch has such a good
66:06
relationship with all the game streamers they bring them out to shows like the
66:09
twitch booths that shows are insane they directly support them in so many
66:14
different ways and they're just so like the connections and networking that
66:17
twitch has is so incredibly strong and at least in our experience the whole
66:23
networking and connections and support side from Google is really not great
66:29
Google's an engineering company yes and twitch seems to be they seem to have a
66:34
much better feel for what it means to be a relationship company and there's
66:38
really interesting things on Twitch which is going to keep streamers there like uh openly being able to do donate
66:44
stuff with no problems you're able to do contests not really able to do but
66:48
happens all the time everywhere and kind of everyone ignores it um there's
66:53
subscribe buttons which helps people a ton can get icons if you subscribe which
66:57
helps people a ton with that said some of these features exist or will exist on
67:01
YouTube as well and YouTube's um like
67:05
like kind of pay pass you know some kind of Premium paid option feature that's
67:09
been rumored forever I don't I don't know like yeah like U like more like
67:14
what vessel's doing I thought you talking about the tip jar I got it no not that one more like what vessel's
67:18
doing where there's a paid YouTube and you just don't see any ads um that's
67:22
been rumored for a long time and that could come along in put a lot of money
67:26
in streamer Pockets if you know they're rolling ads at will and people who are
67:31
paying a monthly subscription and like only watching that stream or effectively
67:35
giving them a few bucks and the volume could be potentially much higher I mean
67:39
YouTube is a huge huge audience as PewDiePie can certainly attest to I
67:44
wonder if um I wonder if there's some form of
67:49
exclusivity agreement in the twitch contract because it would be
67:53
interesting if you just streamed uh to
67:58
both which is possible yeah it's not impossible that's
68:03
for sure it would be need more upload not super easy but it would definitely
68:07
be possible you could both yeah I mean you'll always have to have a primary and
68:12
that's something that we've discovered is that when we say don't forget to
68:15
subscribe only YouTube has subscribe I say follow yeah I and I've
68:21
started saying follow too but there's a lot of other things too like Click The
68:24
annotation other video platforms don't support annotations so if we started
68:28
uploading on Billy Billy for example if it's a if it's a uh stream you can
68:33
address that much more easily sort of and like you can mix your chats and
68:36
stuff okay something a lot of streamers do is subscriber only chat so are they
68:41
just going to ignore the YouTube chat and just talk to their twitch I don't
68:45
know that's interesting yeah because there'll be a lot of spam in that YouTube chat unless there's a subscriber
68:49
only mode and then what are you going to ask for subscribers on both are you going to monitor two chat Windows come
68:52
on that's tough uh there's there will
68:55
definitely be there guys who do it browser hook which mixes those chats and
69:00
then that's a total mess because then they can't see each other not that
69:05
anyone can really talk to each other in a half no I mean for the streamer oh for
69:08
the streamer streamer can monitor everything y but I don't know it's just
69:12
it will fragment it for sure the degree to which it does it I don't know but it
69:17
will fragment it for sure
69:20
um okay so let me have you know what
69:25
this is this is our next Twitter Blitz and this is actually from Lenovo has
69:30
their upcoming Tech world event and there's a couple of hashtags that we
69:34
want you guys to use in it so we haven't done a Twitter Blitz in a while and this
69:38
one is pretty much open-ended so it's we're supposed to
69:42
talk about what we think is next and it's for the upcoming Tech world event
69:47
so I'm assuming if I were to talk about uh house plants that have genes injected
69:52
into them that make them glow well I guess that's kind of tech isn't it yeah
69:56
okay but let's talk let's talk computer tech so I want you guys to post about
70:01
what you think is next at Linus tech on Twitter use these two hashtags Boop at
70:07
Linus on Twitter and we're going to go ahead we're going to Blitz through you
70:10
guys in the next little while here um
70:15
and and it can be vag so do you want me to go first sure okay so for me what's
70:20
next whether I like it or not is wires
70:23
are going away that is something that is
70:27
kind like I've been I've been kind of inching towards this for a while you
70:32
look at uh you look at Intel's what is it 50 50 GHz or whatever that stupid uh
70:39
what's the 58 GHz I don't remember exactly what it is the the the very the
70:44
very short range Wi-Fi or the very short range Wireless someone's going to
70:49
correct me
70:52
um short range one Wireless high speed I
70:57
think it was that like gigabit speeds or something something ridiculous like that
71:00
high blah blah y gig 60 GHz there we go
71:04
um so you know seeing technology like that demoed and actually working seeing
71:10
companies like apple so the MacBook 2015 was the thing that kind of feels like
71:15
wow someone's already doing this so when
71:18
you go on apple.com they've got the iPhone the
71:24
iPad they've got the MacBook and they've got
71:29
the I the eyew watch they've got the Apple watch and they've got them all
71:34
arranged in like uh I can't find the page right now um but they've got them
71:38
all arranged and it just says better together and what struck me about those
71:43
products is that none of them encourage
71:47
external connectivity they all encourage cloud-based storage they all encourage
71:53
uh or and cloud-based backup
71:56
they all encage between the devices
71:59
without it without pluging and you know
72:03
whether you're one of those people who believes Apple when they say DSLR like
72:07
photo quality or whether you're one of those people who's like uh no I'm still
72:12
going to need a USB cable and a card reader to transfer photos off my real
72:15
freaking camera whoever you are Apple is
72:18
trying to push that future forward today and if they're trying to do it then
72:23
someone's going to come along and take that concept and clone it and do it
72:27
better once the technology catches up a little bit and that future I think is
72:30
coming wireless charging wireless data
72:34
and the the camera that I'm borrowing right now can transfer pictures to my
72:38
phone over NFC that's cool yeah so there you go
72:43
still so there you go that's what that's what I think is what's next is wires are
72:48
just going to be gone completely gone I
72:52
think uh personally solar power is going
72:55
to be a much bigger thing um the efficiency of the panels themselves and
73:02
the efficiency of storage mechanisms have massively massively increased over
73:06
the last little while home batter is a big deal he yeah yeah uh there's a study
73:10
that just came out of MIT talking about how we need to focus on it much more
73:14
because there's just so much available power it's not even like oh well it's
73:19
better for the planet derp derp it's just like no there's a lot of it and
73:24
it's super available and it's sitting right there and it's really not hard to
73:28
take advantage of and it's literally there whether we like it or not yeah
73:32
like it's super easy unless Mr Burns builds a sun blocker we're kind of stuck
73:37
with the sun yeah yeah um Burns all
73:40
right so let's have a look at what you guys think we we never do Twitter blitzes anymore speak which I wanted to
73:45
one of the oh I should talk to you about
73:48
perspective projects not on the way show oh okay Amy says the sixs gotcha
73:55
okay um no idea but it better be shiny
73:59
gpus coming from the manufacturer with water cooling being more common than
74:04
ones with air cooling that is an out there prediction that is a very out
74:08
there prediction I think that will probably never happen I think water
74:12
cooled out of the box is going to be not a thing for a while Kevin Hall says
74:17
virtual reality contact lenses dear Lord would I ever love for that to be next I
74:21
don't think that's next that's and hopefully augmented reality cuz VR
74:26
contact lenses how do I take them out
74:29
when I want to see it's like I want to eat my food yeah you're going to have to
74:34
have a camera somewhere for augmented reality sort no cuz if you can see
74:38
augmented reality if you can see through them then augmented reality is fine and
74:42
if they were VR you couldn't see through them so you'd have to like wear head
74:46
mounted camera then and that have to like connect to them mind you if there
74:49
are no wires and if I'm right and no wires is next then this will be later
74:54
and there won't be any but then that doesn't mean it's next that doesn't mean it's next um although did you hear about
74:59
the uh bionic uh bionic lenses yeah as a
75:04
yeah so that's some pretty freaking cool stuff I don't have an article to show
75:07
you guys or anything but my wife and I were talking about apparently in the
75:10
next two to three years bionic lenses are coming with all the advantages and
75:14
none of the drawbacks of surgeries like lasic so uh wow um yeah like they don't
75:21
degrade over time you're not going to need glasses later so I should just
75:25
still not buy glasses no you should still get glasses he wants it's coming
75:28
in like 2 or three years he wants me to buy him a bigger
75:32
teleprompter so that he doesn't have to buy we should have a bigger teleprompter
75:36
anyways so that he doesn't have to buy glasses no we should have a bigger teleprompter anyways okay so our
75:40
teleprompter is crap even today filming
75:43
it's like the text on the screen is jumping all over that's the best app you
75:48
should see the other something that isn't based on an app you should see the
75:51
other ones oh I I believe it but get something that's not based on an app all
75:55
right next is another interesting VR presentation yeah okay most likely VR
75:59
movies that is not next but I do hope I
76:02
mean I think they're kind of called video games because to shoot a movie in
76:06
VR and like have it be like how would you even get a camera rig that records
76:11
in all directions so they're already working on that stuff yeah like they
76:14
have 360 the camera yeah they have that
76:17
but how could you shoot it in a way
76:21
that it like I think it would actually detract from the movie watching
76:26
experience in certain ways like there's probably been a it will be a totally
76:30
different style like super different style that's one thing to part of the
76:35
part of the movie experience is the filmmaker U the filmmaker's control over
76:40
your emotions and your experience you're having the experience that they give you
76:44
otherwise you might as well play a game yeah so yeah so yeah here we go so
76:50
this is an article from The Verge from like January this year so you hide from
76:54
a cyber or something like that I don't
76:57
see movies moving there I see movies and games moving closer together as opposed
77:02
to VR movies so yes do agree Alan I
77:05
don't think it's next and I don't know what it'll be called but it'll be some
77:09
kind of
77:12
Mo mve g g g move something some
77:18
combination of the two um what's coming Wireless power for
77:22
PCs I think we're a ways away from that too mind you as PC power goes down I
77:27
can't think of any reason why a next or
77:30
Tech you could do it now or two G from now like MacBook for example yeah could
77:35
be wirelessly powered from a range that would make sense yeah cuz technically
77:38
you could do that now it's just going to be super not great David Rice cheaper
77:42
higher resolution OLED that is a super safe uh uh prediction there USB 3.1
77:47
type-c that's already here sort of yes we do have have one device that supports
77:51
it uh cheaper high-capacity ssds that's all definitely happening netor
77:56
graic that I don't know if it's next but
77:59
well strictly speaking Network Graphics is already a thing NV grid is on a
78:03
network even if it's the internet but I think you mean local network Graphics uh
78:07
better Battery tech for laptops and phones that's always coming next yeah
78:10
it's I don't know I don't know uh 36
78:14
core core i7 processor that won't be for a while I don't think it's coming next I
78:17
don't really think the battery thing is going to change a whole lot until we change Technologies 7-Day phone
78:22
batteries did you see the light phone the yeah this thing's bananas it's like
78:27
the stupidest thing ever but like people will like it uh it's on Kickstarter
78:31
right now we don't generally cover Kickstarter stuff just cuz a lot of it
78:34
ends up never existing um so the Light
78:38
phone by light it met its goal and
78:41
pretty much what it is is a credit card sized phone and you got to take it with
78:46
a big grain of salt whenever any manufacturer says credit card sized cuz
78:49
it could be as thick as you want yeah that's not credit card that's not credit
78:53
card Siz but the battery apparently last for 20 days and straight up all it does
78:58
is make and receive phone calls that's it it is not
79:04
smart all right and it's 100 bucks like
79:07
okay okay I guess I get it so we're bringing back the brick would you need a
79:10
SIM but it's like a sexy brick yeah You' need a SIM that sucks speaker phone here
79:16
we go you could always rip SIM from your dead smartphone yeah the Light phone is
79:22
a prepaid GSM cell phone that works independent of your carrier comes pre-loaded with minutes a SIM card and
79:26
an app to use with your existing phone okay that's cool so there you go so
79:29
they're a carrier now the Light phone by
79:35
light I love companies that don't have a crazy amount of forethought in their
79:39
product names it's great I think it's awesome
79:44
all right so what else we from people oh yeah yeah sure okay so we'll do 10 more
79:48
10 more Twitter blitzes uh less local storage and more theft of data yeah okay
79:54
that's un fortunate map says lower latency
79:57
Wireless to make things like wireless gaming peripherals a real viable option yeah right now the only wireless gaming
80:02
peripherals we have are extraordinarily expensive um and part of the problem
80:06
with that is that you know when you add $3 to the bomb cost of a peripheral
80:12
product with the margin structure of that particular industry you're adding
80:15
anywhere from I don't know $5 to $15 to the actual retail price because
80:20
retailers are expecting deep double digit margins the manufacturers making
80:24
deep double- digit margins and people have different expectations for these
80:27
products if there's something wrong with it they expect you to pop a new one in the mail for them and you expect to get
80:31
it and not bother sending the old one back and that's not the kind of thing
80:34
that you know a motherboard manufacturer is ever going to support because the
80:38
margins on that product don't support it so in order to not fall behind in
80:41
customer service and perceived value you
80:45
can't actually just make your product cheaper and then expect people to just
80:48
accept that they're going to expect all the other stuff and a better product and cheaper so yeah good point lower cost
80:54
and lower latency Wireless yeah it's always batteries it's
80:58
always batteries when we discuss what do people want well I I and I completely
81:01
agree I just don't think it's coming Helix slash I hope you're wrong VR
81:06
system yes curv screen laptop wow I hope you're wrong if you had one that was
81:11
flexible maybe but why but I've used a
81:15
24in curved display and it doesn't make
81:18
sense no so like the curve from that at
81:22
that size doesn't make sense so for a top unless you're like you've got it
81:26
like right to your face I don't think it makes a ton of sense that's quite the prediction Apple
81:31
will have nothing to do with unprecedented Technologies at all um I
81:35
don't well actually that's not really fair I mean Thunderbolt was unprecedented they certainly had a lot
81:39
to do with that just saying I I don't have much to say but hi all right
81:44
another episode of junkyard Wars that's wow now we're never film yeah now we're
81:50
okay that's enough no more Twitter Blitz you just ruined it for everyone Kevin
81:54
Hall wow Kevin Hall wow Kevin Hall gez
81:57
Kevin Hall it's called scrapyard Wars I'm gonna tweet when we do it junkyard
82:01
Wars is some other show in a junkyard it
82:04
probably smells I just typed in tweet. comom
82:08
that's how distraught I am that's pretty distraught right there
82:13
that's that's quite distraught uh Spotify is apparently going to have a
82:17
New York Press event so this is oh oh no not apparently this is apparently a
82:21
thing um so Spotify moves into video and
82:25
podcasts with major media Partnerships so Spotify is not ready to lie down and
82:30
have apple completely eat their lunch on music streaming nor are they wanting to
82:34
limit themselves to music streaming forever so short form videos and
82:38
podcasts sourced from BBC ESPN and Comedy Central ESPN is such a huge one
82:45
sports is something that I mean where did we go for sports Justin.tv that's
82:51
gone twitch no longer cares about that
82:54
where so what you have to just go to the
82:57
individual sports Network's website every time be honest there was a lot of
83:00
people watching the Mayweather fight on Twitch it just wasn't a legal
83:05
thing wow
83:08
anyway um that's something YouTube
83:12
doesn't do particularly well it's something that some of the leagues particularly the NHL doesn't do
83:16
particularly well is things like highlights and Analysis on YouTube
83:21
having having someone like ESPN come online with someone like Spotify having
83:26
other sports networks potentially sign up that could be freaking awesome that's
83:31
the kind of thing where if they start to get some really great content maybe I
83:35
get off Google play music maybe I start paying for Spotify instead get my music
83:38
and that and Comedy Central is another big one too although um Regional
83:42
licensing is going to be a huge one because Comedy Central I doubt very much
83:46
yeah so service will be launched in US UK Germany and Sweden so Comedy Central
83:49
is probably not coming to Canada anytime soon because I think there's some
83:53
complicated stuff between Comedy Central and Comedy Network and blah blah blah
83:57
blah blah Regional man sucks it's
84:00
annoying um it's super hyper duper annoying apparently this is cool though
84:04
spotify's new version will have Tempo detection which will keep Pace with your
84:08
feet when you are working out why would you want that I'd like
84:15
that like something a little bit like
84:18
like when you're walking you listen to a different no no no the song doesn't
84:21
speed up or slow down that would be aw yeah I was like what the crap okay that
84:25
makes sense so for song selection yeah
84:28
so if you're doing like a super hard workout then like cool and if you're not
84:32
then like that's cool too tempo as in I'd like to see it tied to I wish heart
84:37
heart rate I was just going to say I'd like to see it tied to heart rate instead but this is a step in the right
84:41
direction that's that's one annoying thing that watch that I'm not going to talk a ton about right now I'll go bust
84:46
out like a pretty intense workout and then come home and be like you were
84:50
active for 1 minute today and I'm like screw you it's not
84:55
true is it because of the phone not a
84:59
ton of movement oh right because you're
85:02
like lifting if I'm moving from like a squat rack to a bench or whatever like
85:07
right it's really not that far so what you're saying is that fitness trackers
85:11
still have a ways to go for all the different types of Fitness there happens
85:15
to be so me for example I engage I engage in mind Fitness wow that's where
85:20
I sit and think so hard about Fitness that I get ripped
85:25
no no what about that belt that you can wear that
85:29
vibrates it is so funny like the
85:32
celebrities that have sold out so hard well that's exactly it it's the
85:35
celebrity endorsements I saw a commercial for one of those things that had like Denise Richards and someone
85:40
else in it and I was like are you really worth that little if
85:46
it worked everyone would have
85:49
one everybody you know they uh they reached out about doing advertising with
85:53
us on one of them I can't remember which one
85:56
we should do a review I no no it was it was they weren't going to send a review
86:00
unit that was not the get them to send us I'll wear it for like a month okay so
86:04
know I won't cuz I'm going to work out naturally anyway um so so basically I
86:10
had never looked into them like I knew they were on late night TV not
86:14
everything on late night TV is bad the bamx for example is a great handheld
86:18
mixer and it's one of those as seen on TV like stupid commercial with and you
86:23
get the the nut Scrambler with it not
86:26
well George Foreman grills are actually really George Foreman grills also awesome probably anything that Billy May
86:31
ever advertised because it's Billy freaking
86:35
might putty really I don't know okay anyway um I believe Billy so I'd never
86:39
looked into them because I just assumed they were stupid but now we were having a real conversation with money involved
86:44
so I was like okay I should probably find out if they're dumb and every site
86:48
I found was so positive and I was like
86:52
no nothing can be that amazing and it
86:55
was at that time that I realized that
86:58
basically they just Spam websites I was
87:01
not aware of this particular strategy I've never really looked into the ways people get scammed online because it was
87:06
never really a concern for me I navigate directly to a website that I want to go
87:10
to I'm not much of a surfer so I so I
87:13
was like oh so they just create endless
87:16
websites with slightly different SEO
87:20
strategies so that something will surface and they create them
87:24
over and over and over again all the time so that something positive will
87:28
surface before all the reviews about how it's completely stupid and pointless are
87:33
able to be found and I was like okay no
87:37
and go away uh but um but yeah I I don't
87:41
remember where I was going with this anymore ocz has a new NVMe SSD so NVMe
87:46
ssds are coming ho this is posted by
87:49
numlock 21 on the Forum what available formats are there for this the show's
87:53
kind over by the way but we can do this is it what time is it 6010 how did that
87:57
happen 6010 6010 I was going to say 9 but I assumed the minute was going to
88:01
flip over and then there we go now it's
88:06
610 while you were speaking you thought
88:10
the minute would actually flip over midw
88:13
you were going to time it that precisely I that was the plan you're hero I was
88:16
off by like 5 seconds so uh capacities
88:20
anywhere from I think it was 800 gigs to
88:23
6 6.4 terab boom um they're compliant
88:28
with NVMe 1.1 they support Two Hosts accessing
88:33
them simultaneously or apparently that update is coming in Q3 or something
88:37
which is completely bananas like what the heck
88:43
like so you could have a virtual machine
88:47
natively accessing like two virtual machines accessing it natively or
88:51
something is what that sounds like to me I'm sure someone's going to correct me
88:54
but that sounds completely off the hook
88:57
um and performance is in the neighborhood of like 3 GB per second uh
89:02
not not quite so sequential read speeds at 2.9 gigabytes per second and right
89:08
speeds at 1.9 megabytes per
89:13
second sustained using 19 nanometer nand and
89:18
there's both a 6000 series using mlc Flash and a 6300 series using Enterprise
89:23
Grand enlc flash very cool do we know what form
89:27
factors it comes in PCI Express I would assume no uh really doubt
89:33
it yeah but it'll support uh self encryption in uh Q in the Q3 update um
89:41
anend data protection so this is all important Enterprise stuff but yeah okay
89:44
so here's the Dual Port functionality it's going to launch with single port
89:48
functionality with an upgrade in Q3 uh it does this using a newer generation of
89:52
the 16 channel PN C Sierra Princeton controller than what is found on
89:56
competing models and the advantage of having dual Port functionality is allows
90:00
Two Hosts to access the drive both
90:03
concurrently that's ridiculous okay then
90:07
I guess we'll see what that sort of means yeah later on down the road uh
90:11
should we do a couple of our of our quick rapid fires we can we're 12
90:15
minutes over time uh dami killer um
90:18
posted on the Forum that ducky is teasing their first Mouse what we don't
90:24
have a whole ton of detail about this yet dougy never they're always just like
90:27
random photo on Facebook that's their whole thing it's always
90:31
ridiculous ducky secret oh dude this will probably be in Taiwan continual
90:37
Improvement oh yeah they're definitely showing it at
90:40
compex um that's a thing so
90:47
yep looks super interesting could a
90:50
mouse look that interesting no quality and precision is what matters Luke hey
90:54
we put one of the like very few good
90:58
sensors in it and some plastic around it
91:01
that isn't bad and rron switches EA is apparently teasing Need for Speed
91:06
underground three nice so they're going to have to prove that that's a good game
91:10
before I yeah someone told me I think Nick told me about this and I was like
91:14
yep don't care was a huge fan of the previous ones and I have no confidence
91:18
that this will be good but I will pay attention I'm not going to get hyped up
91:22
CU there's so many ways that they it's screwed up uh the Logitech G29 is
91:27
apparently in the final stages of validation that is allegedly what it
91:32
looks like so it's got a whack ton of buttons and seems to be targeted more at
91:37
the PlayStation crowd if we're to go by that apparently PlayStation logo that
91:42
looks like a PlayStation logo to me and the circle square X triangle that could
91:46
be different model thing though could be absolutely could be so and you would
91:50
only need two models and they've done PlayStation exclusive wheels in the past
91:55
and then you could have like an Xbox SL PC one yeah um Razer uh launched the
92:02
Firefly chroma mouse pad so this is
92:05
posted by oh and the last one was uh from xtank Slayer X or just tank Slayer
92:10
I guess and this one's from a Ming original article here's from Tom's
92:14
Hardware um so if the question you were asking yourself was what can we put RGB
92:20
LEDs in next the answer is a mouse pad
92:25
you know I was really amped about the RGB keyboards and I super don't care
92:29
anymore do you care anymore I still have one on my desk and I have it set to I
92:35
have it set to kind of a purple color that's very similar to the UV lights in
92:38
my case and since then I have not touched any kinds of effects or anything
92:43
CU it's kind of distracting it is and I don't care and you know what I'd like my
92:48
PBT key cap so much that I just want that and no glow because I never look at
92:52
my keyboard anyways I still like the backlight I like the backlight sure
92:57
that's fine but I don't know I was super hyped for it too I was like Yay
93:01
innovation in keyboards then I was like I actually don't care I just like my
93:05
nice key caps so there you go now you can plug your mouse pad in via USB as
93:09
well um I'm really glad they didn't put LEDs on the actual surface of the mouse
93:14
pad cuz it probably would have wrecked tracking on every mouse ever but I'm sure razor smart enough to not do
93:18
something that phenomenally stupid so uh there you go you can have the next
93:22
product comes out yeah LED inter
93:26
LEDs the woven fibers of the mouse pad
93:29
have led elements at either end and you can like make a rainbow you can like
93:33
make Yan cat they're in the shap of snakes they Slither across the mouse pad
93:38
in a destructive manner
93:42
um this is just funny because of his name original articles from polygon this
93:47
was posted by Good Bites Nintendo's new VP of sales his name is actually Doug
93:51
Bowser yeah in like Photo that they took
93:55
of him in his new office or whatever saying like thank you for the warm
93:58
welcome there's uh Mario and Luigi tied
94:03
up by a GameCube controller in the background on the Shelf as like a joke
94:10
yeah so that's uh that's that's pretty funny um and I guess that's pretty much
94:14
