my friends and welcome to the WAN Show the
0:05
restaurant that's not even relevant a
0:09
joke isn't just supposed to be random this is not Family Guy this is the WAN
0:13
show this is a much better show there was a TJ Fridays in uh Norway and that
0:18
was weird that is kind of trippy yeah why
0:22
would there be a TJ Fridays I would think it would be like I I can't even I
0:26
I don't even know what language they speak in Norway Norwegian it's they they
0:30
have a language it's like a slightly different version of yeah oh
0:34
interesting anyways we have some pretty interesting call outs which lonus is
0:38
going to start I guess or not yeah right
0:42
so uh good old G excuse me uh Gog
0:45
they're not good old games anymore cuz they have like Witcher 3 coming out on
0:49
it soon or something uh they have their own launcher so they're looking to go up
0:53
against steam as opposed to being a place where you can buy like you know
0:57
Hugo's House of Horrors um Microsoft is
1:00
calling Windows 10 the last version of
1:03
Windows which either means they've uh kind of decided okay that's it we've
1:08
made enough billions of dollars we're going to pack it in we're all going to retire we're going to take all the cash
1:12
divvy it up between all the Microsoft employees and B I mean can you imagine
1:16
if a company the size of Microsoft did that they just like y dissolved
1:20
overnight you know what you know we're done let's just let's just you know what
1:25
you know Apple for example let's say apple decided you know what we've got
1:28
$80 billion in the bank it's more than
1:31
enough money for the we make every single one of our employees even like
1:35
store level janitors just not have to work for the rest of their lives yeah
1:38
that's enough I mean we we earned this forget it we don't need a Beats by Dre
1:43
streaming service anymore I mean forget who cares let them you know get their
1:48
music somewhere else which is actually a topic we're going to talk about later but you go ahead anyways Nintendo is
1:53
looking into mobile games or potentially looking into mobile games which is
1:57
interesting and our last call out isn't even really a call out it's a whole
2:02
topic anyways Tesla is selling used cars and they're selling them by region so
2:06
that's pretty cool and the whole topic dang it you gave there was one piece of
2:11
the topic left then and you ruined even that well you could technically buy it
2:15
from a different region but the store you search by I haven't fired you in a
2:19
while so I look for like Vancouver and then you see that there's like a 5%
2:22
discount and now you're even you're elabor you're elaborating on the one
2:28
little piece of information that they were missing from the announcement video
2:31
it's because it's Tesla I can't like I can talk about this for too long but
2:36
this is the WAN Show so we have potentially more interesting topics to
2:39
talk about potentially intro it
2:44
worked yeah I tested I think it's like lagging
2:48
though is anyone even
2:54
watching yes oh okay good
3:02
I know twitch at some point they're going to fix sorry oops um uh sponsor
3:07
Linda learn things fresh books yeah
3:11
account for things yeah mop buy things buy things
3:16
with the money that you made so you learn stuff start your own business and
3:20
run the accounting for it and then buy stuff with the money that you made from
3:23
this this is a highly disturbing Trend that I'm seeing from you is trying to
3:27
tie all of our sponsors together and then no seriously if you tie in Dollar
3:31
Shave Club as well you can look professional throw them off an integration
3:36
Cliff that's what you're doing you're drowning them all you're throwing them
3:40
in the water all drowning them all in success can you imagine that would be a
3:44
great Channel Super Fun swim while tied
3:51
together you we have to do it in a pool that we wouldn't die in yeah yeah yeah
3:54
yeah yeah yeah we'd have to have like like you'd have to have kind of oh I
3:59
don't know what you'd have to do you'd have to have like ropes tied to you that
4:02
people at the side can like literally pull you right out of the pool if like
4:05
something we could put like carabiners on them so you could disconnect from people if it really became bad yeah yeah
4:10
but like so you make teams right and
4:13
each team has to choose the way that so
4:17
okay okay okay so like if you're going to do the butterfly or whatever yeah so you do multiple Heats right so each team
4:23
gets to choose so let's say we have three teams right we got seven people who work here someone's going to have to
4:27
operate the camera so you got three teams teams each team gets to choose a
4:31
way that everyone has to be tied together oh my God so you do three Heats
4:36
oh no right so you can swim however you want I guess yes but if team L for
4:43
example says okay you have to be tied
4:46
together at the waist side by side then
4:50
everyone has to do that oh my God we can have Team L because we have two L's team
4:53
n because of two uh n's and then team T
4:58
because of a t and an
5:02
e you're determined to ruin this show today aren't
5:06
you sorry that actually sounds hilarious and we should probably do that so why
5:10
don't we kick off with some Community announcements we'll have to find a pool
5:13
that'll let us film at it I was trying to take a picture of my son at his
5:17
swimming lesson and they were like no no no no no and I was like oh yeah I guess
5:21
I I get that cuz like oh yeah it's a
5:24
camera and stuff but like I was clearly
5:28
like part of a pool can you do can you
5:31
rent a pool I think so you because I think you can book a pool just like you
5:34
can book like a movie theater I okay you
5:37
know we should look into it it sounds like an expensive super fun I think
5:41
super fun is probably going to get to the point where we're going to start to
5:45
rely on something like patreon for it because quite quite frankly we haven't
5:50
figured out how to monetize it we just lose money on it we lose money every
5:54
time we do it cuz it's fun and because we like it and because we think you guys
5:58
like it yeah like there's a lot of reasons we do it but money is not is not
6:03
one of them like lonus Tech tips straight up is the swimmer with Channel
6:08
super fun tied to it and like swimming
6:11
in the opposite direction because even something like buying the life-size
6:16
soccer ball thing that I was rolling around inside for the upcoming video
6:20
which is going to be fun by way say most people don't know about that yeah that's
6:23
coming if you follow on Instagram you'll have seen a picture of the ball even
6:27
buying that ball it's like 60 bucks that's more we're going to make on
6:30
Google AdSense on that video to be completely Frank with you guys and then
6:33
the whole company was out for like two hours I think plus someone's going to
6:38
spend four or five hours editing the stupid thing like that's that's the
6:41
amount of money that we just throw in a fire every time we make a childan super
6:45
fun video but I think that if we did
6:49
like patreon funding for it where we kind of went okay every time we make a
6:53
Channel Super Fun you guys played you know two bucks or five bucks or whatever
6:56
I I haven't looked that closely into patreon they've contacted me been like
6:59
why don't you use patreon I was like well because we run a lot of advertising
7:03
on our content and I think we do a video every day so if you're contributing per
7:07
video that be yeah so unless people are like patreon contributors for like 50
7:11
cents they're going to feel like we're like giving it to them pretty hard and
7:14
people already give us monthly contributions we already have a mechanism for that which keeps our our
7:18
website afloat and you know pays for the much more expensive servers that we have
7:23
now compared to the one that was running off a test bench in the office at NC but
7:29
us that for a little while yeah oh it was awful it was bad it was really bad
7:34
we have like a real server and a real data center now and we have like real
7:38
monthly software package subscriptions that keep the whole thing running
7:41
smoothly it's amazing it's great um anyway I think something like that could
7:45
make sense but uh yeah we'd probably need need you guys to help with her or
7:49
something cuz I'm thinking the cost of like booking a pool for a couple hours
7:53
we need to do something like that it's not going to be cheap yeah um okay so
7:58
why don't we move into our first topic of the day and we can do that as soon as
8:04
I plug in my HDMI cable and we didn't
8:08
sincerely hope that it works otherwise blue screen oh I am not hoping for a
8:14
blue screen we're actually we're plugged into the black magic intensity right now
8:17
oh dear yeah so that blue screen legitimately straight up could straight
8:22
up happen so our first topic is why Microsoft is calling Windows 10 the last
8:28
version of Windows the original article here is from The Verge look at that why
8:33
is the webcam oh right here last week um
8:37
so why Microsoft is calling Windows 10 the last version of Windows now to be
8:41
clear the joke we made earlier about
8:44
maybe they're just packing it in and they're going to give all the money to
8:48
all the employees and tell them to retire um that is not what is happening
8:52
instead it's going to be um I mean there's been Rumblings of Windows as a
8:56
service for a long time now but that
9:00
there's no confirmation necessarily that that's what we're looking at here but
9:05
what Microsoft is saying is that Windows 10 is going to be the end of the of the
9:11
huge monolithic Windows releases every 2 to three years and the beginning of much
9:17
more Nimble rapid updates and not
9:20
necessarily to the OS as a whole or even
9:24
as a piece of
9:27
software cuz an OS is not a whole
9:30
oh but even to just individual
9:33
components of it so for example they could um they could update something
9:37
like Xbox or they could update uh you know mail for example and they could
9:43
continue to evolve the functionality of the OS with smaller updates over time
9:47
and now they have set a precedent now
9:50
for Windows 8.1 users getting or Windows
9:53
8 users getting the update to 8.1 which I still maintain was not a new OS I I
9:58
don't even understand why they called it anything other than eight service pack
10:02
one anyway even 8.1 just have have the
10:05
message and be like service packs are gone now it's a decimal point that would
10:09
have been fine I would have understood that like why do we insist on just
10:14
insisting it's a different operating system but there's an update to it so
10:19
the like no just stop anyway Windows 10 though they're offering a free update
10:24
and I guess you can also roll up to Windows 10 from 8.1 and you can even
10:28
revert it which is not the same as any pack I've thought that was awesome
10:32
anyways um so Windows 10 is has is the
10:35
first time we've seen them roll out a major update for free so I guess the the
10:42
question here is are we going to see 10.1
10:46
10.2 um is that is that just hilariously
10:50
close to Apple's OS 10 with iterations
10:55
um is is that what they're going that actually just occurred to me that's
10:58
pretty funny yeah it is every operating system will now be 10 Android
11:04
10 mem and N I wonder if they'll just get
11:10
rid of not a desert public naming like everyone else seems to be doing with
11:14
everything which is like not okay with Hardware but anyways I wonder if that
11:19
just get rid of public naming because eventually if they keep iterating like they did with eight so 8.1 and then keep
11:24
going on from there they'll eventually run out of numbers uh like they actually
11:28
ran into with Windows n where their internal software stuff went above the
11:33
and there's stuff that they could have done and like apple ran into when they
11:36
ran out of cats no really yeah that's why it's
11:40
yanity they ran out of interesting cats
11:44
I mean they could have gone with like you know os10
11:48
Tabby but but I don't think anyone would have
11:51
been that impressed Quil like knitting
11:57
needles oh or when you buy like when you
12:00
buy the entire ecosystem then you can you get like an a free upgrade to OS 10
12:05
cat lady comes with a cat sweater and and a
12:11
cat bed which they won't use and it comes with four cardboard boxes which
12:15
they will use that's right um what are
12:18
we even talking about anymore I don't know we were talking about Windows 10
12:21
right okay so yes it's unclear how Windows has a service like if you were
12:26
to have to buy a subscription for it will play into this um it's unclear if
12:30
they plan to monetize it through the App Store if they plan to finally do a way
12:35
better job of that which is what would be required for them to monetize Windows
12:40
through the App Store in any meaningful way um I I personally am kind of looking
12:45
at it as like okay well maybe we also thank you to Lord sparklebottom yes for
12:51
posting that topic um you know I I can I
12:54
can see them not necessarily charging for Windows but kind of subsidizing
13:00
Windows development with one drive your one drive subscription and with your
13:05
Office 365 subscription but it seems like you're so far away from that and I
13:11
would personally rather be able to use whatever version of those Services I
13:15
wanted and have it integrated so that I could easily do that and just pay for
13:19
Windows I mean the fact that Office 365
13:22
stubbornly insists that I use one drive for cloud saave means that I just
13:27
straight up don't don't use cloud save because one drive is just not as
13:33
convenient for me to use as Dropbox and and so we do use cloud saave we just use
13:38
the local file manager to save it into the Dropbox folder in instead of the
13:43
nicely integrated Cloud saave feature which should be open to everything which
13:47
exactly I can't I can't I like I even
13:50
paying for that yeah I am paying for Office 365 so if I decide I want to use
13:55
a different cloud storage service you know what I should be allowed to I
14:00
should be allowed to use Apple's cloud storage if I feel like it so so yeah I
14:04
mean I I guess unless they can find a way to make everything so neatly and
14:10
beautifully integrated that I don't even want to use anything else then then sure
14:14
we're a long way away from that but there's little stuff that Microsoft just
14:18
still doesn't get like um someone thought it was hilarious to sign up my
14:22
Hotmail account for uh they used one of those I mean it's not like this is
14:26
exactly a new prank but they used one of those pages where you can sign someone
14:29
up for like daily Inspirational Bible verses and you can uh sign people up for
14:36
like boatloads of them at once very conveniently with sites like this so um
14:41
I don't actually monitor the email account so I didn't realize until I
14:46
fired up an old smartphone that I haven't used in a long time that happens to be logged into that account and I was
14:50
watching a video on it and I was hearing notifications like every 5 or 10 seconds
14:55
and I was like what's going on that's kind of weird like what what where what
15:00
where are these even coming from and so I finally figured it out that Hotmail
15:04
address had 55,000 unread emails in it
15:08
and um so compared to Gmail where that
15:11
would be really simple I would create a
15:15
search for a domain I would go at this
15:19
contains create filter apply filter to
15:22
all previous conversations I would press one button and everything would be gone
15:27
for Hotmail they have a feature called sweep so you highlight a message you
15:31
press sweep and then it deletes and you
15:34
can select block feature messages but only that exact matching email address
15:40
and I'm sitting here going why L of these aren't going to match why yeah a
15:44
lot of them aren't going to match because content filters that's why I
15:47
don't have uh 15,000 emails from CES
15:51
every year yeah because of content filters filtering is is not just good it
15:56
is absolutely necessary I mean it's not like I'm saying that Gmail is perfect in
16:01
fact is this ever going to load there we go okay so I think I can screen share
16:07
with you guys right now should be fine yep all that looks fine okay yep I'm
16:13
going to screen share with you guys so I mean there's stuff like this that drives
16:17
me crazy about um oh you know what I'm going to no I am going to make sure of
16:21
something before I go ahead and start typing so um no no that's fine um so you
16:28
know like
16:32
um okay well you know what forget it there's a
16:37
couple things that Gmail does that drives me crazy like if you do a search
16:40
in the top bar in Gmail for just the sending domain it doesn't work and it's
16:46
just like really I can't just search for
16:49
keyword NVIDIA and have that bring up anyone who emailed no it has to actually
16:54
contain NVIDIA in the body of the email another thing is oh wait no could be
16:59
wrong hold on no maybe it's when I start searching for no no that's fine uh maybe
17:02
it's right yes that's what it is when
17:06
you uh when you start typing in the address bar you can't just type the
17:10
domain so if I just type NVIDIA it doesn't bring up a list of all the
17:14
people that I've corresponded with who have an email NVIDIA.com and I'm kind of
17:18
sitting here going why how is it possible that it doesn't
17:24
search the entire email address field
17:28
for or something like a keyword like that that all time so there so there is
17:32
stuff that drives me absolutely bananas another one that drives me crazy is I email myself a lot and if I type in and
17:38
this this is a funny one if I type in
17:42
lonus at it still doesn't come up with
17:47
my own email address it still populates
17:50
with a bunch of other people that are also on my company domain before my own
17:55
apparently if you go from colon NVIDIA it works but that's just that's stupid
17:59
why should I have to do that so yes I'm aware that you know I can go on Google
18:04
and I can go you know site colon blah blah blah and there are ways to yes use
18:09
search tools much more powerfully but I really shouldn't have to do something
18:13
that obvious so let's go ahead and move on to our next topic here what is our
18:19
next topic Apple wants to kill free music streaming apps like Spotify and
18:24
beats rech posted by tangra tangra
18:27
tangra article here is also from The Verge I don't know whether or not tangra
18:32
is like the the little fast uh like
18:36
monkey enemy who's like Speedy or or like the
18:41
the tangra like the big beastly enemy oh
18:44
I'm going to go with irritating yeah irritating little yeah I'm going to go
18:47
with monkey enemy okay yeah um so
18:51
Apple's apparently pushing music labels to kill free Spotify streaming ahead of
18:57
the Beats Rel launch so this picture is
19:00
from uh the is the famous picture of
19:04
some super not hip dudes with at least
19:08
one dude who is allegedly fairly fairly hip and with it so to speak I wouldn't
19:14
personally know much about the subject but that's from the acquisition of Beats
19:18
Audio by Apple the single largest acquisition they've ever made and the
19:22
Rumor the word on the street streets oh
19:29
was that it wasn't about the headphones it was rather about the beats music
19:34
streaming service that Apple wanted to you know sort of get into that business
19:39
of and sort of Leave Behind the more traditional iTunes model where users buy
19:44
individual songs or they buy albums so they they they wanted a competitive
19:48
streaming service now it is now known that Apple does intend to relaunch that
19:53
streaming service and the sort of the the Spotify is already speaking out
19:58
about Apple's business tactics for making sure that it doesn't have any
20:03
free competitors so apple is apparently
20:06
pushing record labels to influence them
20:09
and to influence their artists to remove
20:13
the free options remove their music from free options like spotify's ad supported
20:19
streaming service so which has to be one of like the least surprising things
20:23
pretty much ever um Taylor Swift has actually come out publicly I think this
20:27
was a number of months ago but I can see if I can find the quote uh when she
20:32
pulled when she didn't put her new album on Spotify and I think actually pulled
20:37
her entire back catalog yeah I think her
20:40
stuff is still on Google Play music I don't have a Spotify account so I can
20:45
actually um I can check that one but I I can't verify yeah so here's the here's
20:50
the article on the breakup with Spotify let's go ahead and so this is from CNBC
20:54
evidently she's got a good quote in here where basically the long and short of it
20:59
is there she is she's got lipstick on she's Taylor Swift that's very
21:02
interesting um but the long and short of
21:05
it is you know music should have a should have a value um we shouldn't be
21:10
treating it like it's free so people should pay for it and I want to protect
21:14
the users that spent you know $22.99 or
21:18
whatever it is they spent on the album from feeling like they got a raw deal
21:21
because someone else can listen to it for free if they're willing to put up with some advertising which sounds all
21:26
you know fine and good except that we all know what it's really about come on
21:30
now um and I mean that's fine it's not like
21:36
we're not also about making money for making our content it's just you might
21:39
as well at least be honest about it should just say I pulled my music off of
21:44
Spotify because yeah so shake it off so
21:47
her latest album is still not on Google Play music either so she's reserving it
21:50
for the album but her back catalog I believe still is available on a paid
21:54
service Google play music um so yeah you might as well just be be honest about it
21:58
is but that is a direction that I can definitely see more artists getting on
22:04
board with is hey you know what let's get people back in the habit of paying
22:08
for music maybe it's less but maybe it's
22:11
at least something the hard thing here
22:16
is that there will pretty much always be a service if someone wants your music
22:20
for free there will pretty much always be something whether it's YouTube or
22:25
something else well apparently Apple's putting Apple's putting pressure on
22:29
labels to remove free YouTube streaming as well which is also ad supplemented so
22:34
so the the idea is moving away from ad
22:38
supported music and I I know that you don't mean YouTube I know what you mean
22:42
and we might as well just speak frankly if it is too difficult for someone to
22:46
get the music in a way that they perceive is free or if you remove a
22:49
convenient option like Spotify cuz let's face it cuz buying buying music in
22:54
Canada is brutal like it actually is it sucks buying an album is really actually
23:00
difficult to do cuz most of the album stores don't really exist anymore or in
23:03
very crappy quantities and getting an
23:07
actual album is often not available you can't just buy the mp3s off of Amazon
23:12
remember I wanted the uh Arctic Monkeys A&M album yeah I do remember that and
23:17
someone in the States ended up buying the mp3s and being like I won't ever
23:21
listen to them so they're kind of yours here and gave them to me and I was like
23:25
uh it's like we haven't actually we haven't actually done this correctly but
23:30
I don't know how to tell you this is wrong because it doesn't feel wrong does
23:33
it no um so I don't know so anyway
23:37
stupid um so Spotify currently has 60 million users only 15 million of them
23:42
however are paid users and the beat streaming service is expected to be full
23:46
of exclusive content um the new
23:50
streaming service is expected to debut at WWDC in June what is WWDC um
23:55
worldwide developer conference oh and I
23:58
guess that's pretty much all there is to say about it I I think we got to do like
24:01
a Twitter Blitz or something for this so we talk about oh oh oh yes yeah like I I
24:05
want to because I want to hear from you
24:09
guys will you I first don't tweet me yet
24:13
because I'm I haven't told you what to tweet yet I want to hear from Spotify
24:17
users I want to hear from paid and free
24:21
Spotify user specifically so I I do subscribe to a streaming service I don't
24:26
qualify if you're a paid Spotify user I
24:29
want to I want to hear what you think about artists locking into exclusivity
24:35
deals with particular streaming services because for me personally a big part of
24:40
the argument for me paying a monthly subscription to you know use my stupid
24:44
data plan to listen to all of my music which I'm also paying for a huge part of
24:49
the argument is that it's a One-Stop shop I don't want to start subscribing
24:53
to Google Play music for my Taylor Swift and Spotify for my redot Chili Peppers
24:59
and beats music for my whatever cuz all of a sudden now we're adding up to maybe
25:03
I'm spending $25 $30 a month well hold on a second well I could just be buying
25:08
MP3s at a dollar a pop the old way for
25:12
what I'm now paying for a streaming service and arguably streaming services
25:16
do have a value I find the discoverability of new music is great
25:21
through a streaming service because I'll hear all kinds of stuff it never would
25:24
have even occurred to me to look for before but if all of a sudden I have to
25:28
subscribe to a bunch of them that's just that's just sucky because then then I
25:32
don't even know you know what music accessory to buy cuz maybe my Sonos
25:36
system or my you know whatever other you know music streaming device supports
25:40
this one but not the other now it turns into a fragmented nightmare um so I want
25:46
to hear from I want to hear from the paid Spotify Spotify users and I also
25:50
want to hear from the free Spotify users would you guys be willing to pay if the
25:55
exclusivity thing didn't happen would you be willing to pay for Spotify for
25:59
the same service you enjoy for free now with ads if it meant that artists like
26:03
Taylor Swift or let's say let's see you don't like Taylor Swift I don't care
26:06
it's not the point artists that you care about whose music you want to hear if
26:09
they didn't pull their support from the service entirely just for having a free
26:14
option so go ahead and uh start hitting us at linch on Twitter Let's uh let's
26:19
start getting those replies in and uh then let's go ahead and uh move into our
26:25
next topic and then we'll come back to that yes okay so this is from Alex Goes
26:29
High and the article is either from straight from the horse's mouth or from
26:35
The Verge the the actual straight from them article is quite good to be
26:38
completely honest so maybe we'll go with that
26:42
Boop check it out yo are you all butt
26:46
hurt at steam or valve or valves steam
26:51
are you letting off stee about how you feel about valve or giant Bronze Statues
26:56
that I'm kind of happy we didn't make I'm really glad we didn't build that thing CU like we wouldn't have managed
27:01
to for those of you who don't know we had like a like a a reward tier for
27:06
crowdfunding campaign we did a while ago where the plan was that we would um the
27:11
plan was that we would build a life-size gay Ben statue which would have been
27:15
hilarious but um by the time we managed to get the
27:20
thing commissioned get the artist out here get the thing actually built valve
27:24
would have gone from like you know the king of the popular gaming companies to
27:29
they've been doing a fair bit of digging lately so all right so you want an
27:32
alternative Gog galaxy forly known as good old games so
27:38
Galaxy is their new gaming platform that
27:41
is and get this DRM free so you can
27:45
actually have a completely DRM free version of any game that you own on good
27:50
old games and you can download that to your computer play it without DRM and
27:55
fully optional gaming Cent that you can
27:59
use for games that you buy on
28:03
g.com super cool the Rebrand is for a
28:06
reason so it used to be called good old games because it was all old games I
28:12
don't know that they were necessarily all good but they were definitely all
28:15
old yep um but that's not necessarily the case anymore so a big like you know
28:21
major launch title coming up is actually Witcher 3 which is not old might not be
28:27
good if you're into The Witcher it's probably
28:30
good but um personally I never really got into the whole the whole Witcher
28:35
thing I never super did but I have a buddy who's like it's probably his
28:38
favorite franchise I think he's watched I think there's a movie or something and
28:42
he's read books and yeah so he's really
28:45
excited about it there's some really cool features there's obvious kind of
28:49
things like optional auto updates and
28:52
oneclick installs which you'd kind of expect from this um but then there is
28:57
offline support which is cool cuz that's not necessarily true for everything and
29:00
the ability to roll back roll back auto updates is very cool leaving that for
29:04
the last one was the coolest thing I'm sorry roll back updates is awesome so
29:09
their their little blurb on this is sometimes game updates break things
29:12
which is very true um yeah thanks to the
29:16
built-in roll back feature you can restore your game to Prior states with
29:19
just a single click so even if you just didn't like something if you're like oh
29:23
they rebalanced this this way I'm playing a single player game and it
29:27
nerfed my character I'm just going to keep rolling around with this overpowered character you like all right
29:32
roll back um I think that's pretty cool for yeah like I just said a bunch of
29:37
different reasons also there's backup copy download which is cool their quote
29:41
on this is want to backup your purchases we get it for all games you can download
29:45
a DRM free backup installer that you can save to an external disc drive or Cloud
29:49
also super cool I love this thing I'm excited honestly I've been waiting for
29:53
this for a really long time so it's pretty cool that it's here than they
29:58
don't have their in-game overlay working yet
30:02
but uh I have two monitors anyways I'm not too worried about it and oh get it
30:06
not too worried about it I wasn't paying attention to you did
30:11
you know 22222 is falling on a
30:14
Tuesday no I didn't it is good for you
30:22
anyways crossplay right okay I wanted to talk about this crossplay enabled games
30:26
will offer online play between Gog and steam so I don't remember the name of
30:31
the game but there's a game that I bought on Kickstarter a while ago and I
30:34
cashed in my key before they had steam keys so I got a Gog key for it and then
30:39
all my friends bought it on Steam and I wasn't able to play with any of them and
30:43
it's like a co-op game so I haven't even
30:46
played it at all and I got it like a really long time
30:50
ago because I've been waiting for crossplay Get Wrecked so I'm excited for
30:56
that it might actually already be able to be done without the launcher but either way I don't know I'm super stoked
31:01
for this because I think valve's comfy
31:04
coach has been getting a little bit too comfy and they've been kind of they've
31:08
sold a lot of hats and they've got a lot
31:11
of money and the thing about a lot of money is that it seems to uh it seems to
31:17
turn into well how do we get like more of it so that we can build an even
31:21
bigger money for it uh pretty quickly and it just yeah it I don't know it just
31:26
seems like it seems seems like a lot of what we I wonder if we've been just
31:31
misinterpreting valve all along like a lot of what
31:38
we what sorry um a lot of what we've
31:43
misinterpreted as valve just generally being good guys is simply valve being
31:48
good business guys so the decisions that they make that please the community are
31:53
they doing it because they believe it's the right thing to do or are they doing it because of you know famous quotes
31:58
like Gabe n's um don't do anything blah
32:02
blah blah Don't Lie to the internet because they'll remember and they'll always catch you etc etc etc is that
32:07
advice because that's an ethical good guy thing to do or is that advice
32:11
because it's a business thing because it's a your business will not make as
32:15
much money if you don't do that so I think there's a lot of room for for
32:19
someone to come in and compete with valve I don't think Ubisoft or EA are
32:23
necessarily the answer we need a truly third party service and that's what
32:27
what's interesting about G is that they don't make
32:32
games so they're not you're not supporting a competitor's platform EA
32:38
doesn't have to line valves Pockets to
32:42
have their game on valves platform and
32:45
vice versa so maybe then we might see a
32:49
little bit less of the sort of you know
32:52
the the the up play fortress and the origin Fortress and the steam Fortress
32:57
maybe at at some point in the future I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon we will see a Bonafide thirdparty
33:03
option that these guys can feel comfortable launching their games
33:06
through because there was a time long
33:09
long ago when game developers were willing to share their profit margins
33:14
with a retailer it was a long time ago um so I
33:20
don't I don't think it's that uh e games and GameStop oh no nope I'm totally
33:25
wrong apparently it's owned by CD project red why I made the weird face no
33:29
no I was wrong I did not know that I did not know that GG was owned by CD project
33:36
red I actually didn't know it was an ownership either but I knew they were
33:39
like super major in cahoots that much is
33:43
apparent I did not know they owned it so there you go there is no well then it's
33:48
okay so CD project owns CD project red and G so there you go apparently well
33:55
let's move on then GG luses hopeful you
33:59
know future amazing so we have to wait for something else then well CD project
34:05
seems to kind of want to work with people yeah but it doesn't matter
34:09
because another game developer isn't going to want to line their pockets
34:12
because we all see what happened that last time that
34:16
happened yay uh so let's go ahead and go to that
34:21
Twitter Blitz that I had said that we would do before so something about
34:26
Arctic Monkeys yeah um so you know no
34:31
they should keep the ad supported tier right but that wasn't really the
34:34
question the question was if they are
34:38
forced to would you pay basically the problem is that uh even when you watch
34:43
ads you're not making as much money for that person or platform or whatever you
34:47
want to call it as you would if you contributed directly very little often
34:51
times like fraction of a scent enough
34:54
that it can keep them afloat and can probably cover your C of being on the
34:58
website if their name is Taylor Swift and a lot of people listen to it but oh
35:03
I meant for just the hosting service oh I see
35:07
um but yeah all right um Eric flood free
35:12
Spotify user here seems like a complete money grab well yes Apple's turning into
35:16
the same institution that they beat oh that is uh that is actually a pretty
35:20
spot
35:23
on um yeah I mean a big part of Apple's pitch was oh BL blah blah blah the way
35:28
we've always done this with the incumbents with buying an entire album
35:32
or buying a single for way too much for one song is stupid we should do and and
35:37
apple that's actually that's actually really interesting Apple stuck to their
35:41
guns about things like the you know the 99 Cent song download back in the day
35:47
because it's not like there couldn't have been premium songs for $4.99 as a
35:52
as a single release for example on iTunes that could have been done but
35:56
they were they were they were they held steadfast that a song should cost a
36:00
dollar on the iTunes Store so so the
36:04
whole thing that they that that that's a really good point the whole the whole
36:07
thing where you had to pay way too much to listen to music did get torn down by
36:12
Apple and that was a big step towards online music distribution so it seems
36:16
like now that someone else innovated
36:19
before Apple um they kind of want to
36:22
dial things back and go back to go back to the old way um very very interesting
36:29
Mr flood Matthew Harvey says I'm a free user Spotify for me is too expensive
36:33
when I can just watch it on YouTube if it becomes exclusive now something to watch out for uh Mr Harvey is that the
36:40
same pressure on Spotify will also be on YouTube for ad supported
36:45
music yes with that said I mean it's not
36:49
like Google has made any kind of a
36:52
particularly well-kept secret out of the fact that they intend to move YouTube
36:56
towards some kind of a premium platform they already have what I forget what
37:00
it's called now but their YouTube music pass thing that costs about the same asy
37:04
think music key thank you or whatever I forget what it's called I think he is
37:07
right um so yeah I wouldn't imagine for
37:11
a second my thing with YouTube though with what he's bring up it's not even
37:14
necessarily Vivo or like YouTube music or whatever it's the like random dude
37:19
that uploaded the whole album and no matter how much YouTube
37:23
wants to like have their algorithms go and take them all out there always seems
37:27
to be a few that make it through regardless yeah which is funny because
37:32
like I uploaded a video actually it's funny the fractal designed to find our 4
37:36
April fools video that we uploaded got flagged for uh content infringement and
37:41
the supposedly infringing part of the video was when the rain was falling on
37:46
the case at the end of the video and it was like it's this song I'm it is not
37:50
there is no song there isn't even any audio in the video at that point um so
37:55
anyway it was a video that got like 300,000 VI use and the AdSense got
37:58
ripped off of it so I was like can you not please did they did they give it
38:04
back I don't know I didn't look but by now no one's going to watch that video anymore like it's just stupid so anyway
38:10
um I don't know there there it seems to be pretty cat cholly for certain things
38:15
yeah um when I watch YouTube that matters I turn off ad block like your
38:18
case okay that's good thank you uh not
38:22
necessarily the topic of conversation right now um for a show about technology
38:26
why do you use low bit rate and only 30 FPS on Twitch well Canada yeah thank you
38:31
we're Canadian and our internet service provider is being a in fact we've
38:36
dropped 413 frames on this show alone
38:39
and we're only streaming at some pathetic I think about half of our
38:43
official rated upload speed maybe like a third of it there's not much we can do
38:47
about that right now we are moving yes to a new office that will have a 200
38:51
megabit Uplink and then we better freaking be able to stream properly
38:55
we're going to stream whatever we please once that happens god um as a free user
39:00
I don't care about the paid service I just ignore the ads I think what a lot
39:04
of you guys are missing is that what's happening is the songs you want to
39:07
listen to aren't going to be there anymore so there is no ignoring the ads
39:13
it's like the song's not there so um so
39:17
I I really wanted to get a feel for whether whether you guys would be would
39:20
be willing to pay as free users but I think maybe I didn't I didn't you know I
39:25
didn't succinctly enough make the point of what I I you go to the next thing
39:29
I'll see if I can sure um all right so
39:32
our next topic for the day Star Wars
39:36
Battlefront will not have iron sights
39:39
according to EA um so my initial reaction here and
39:44
this is this is like totally a joke and
39:49
not what I would really expect them to actually do but can you
39:54
imagine a Star Wars Battlefront where you had like scenario missions where
39:58
you've got like a crack team of Rebel Commandos like you've got four or six
40:03
Rebels versus what what is it 20 20 player or 24 player can't remember
40:08
anymore so you had so you had the Imperials but the Imperials can only hit
40:12
fire because Stormtroopers can't hit anything dirty dirt so like so like the
40:17
rebels can look down a site but the Stormtroopers just have to be like
40:22
PE and they have so so like that could
40:25
make that could make for a really fun game mode right that would be hilarious
40:30
and the Stormtroopers have really quick respawns and it's all objective based
40:34
right so the rebels have to plant a bomb in the thing and the and and Storm
40:38
Troopers like their guns Jam or whatever like like you make the stor they're slow
40:43
moving they can't see they hit their head on doors as they're opening yeah
40:46
they can get taken Ewoks jump on them and beat them with like stones and for
40:52
some reason spam spam F to get rid of Ewok yeah the armor that they're wearing
40:56
doesn't do anything for some reason like
40:59
that would be a super fun game mode that would be awesome just eliminate iron
41:05
sights and the quote is
41:08
hilarious it doesn't say we want to be Counter-Strike there are no iron sights
41:12
in Star Wars on the ordinary blasters
41:16
box said you have scopes on some rifles
41:20
but there are no iron sights we're not
41:23
taking into account what we've done before I think that would be
41:27
disrespectful to the fans and to what we're trying to achieve
41:31
here in response to the fact that their other shooter Battlefield does actually
41:37
in fact contain iron sights a lot of the things you saw in the game have nothing
41:40
to do with anything we've done before some features of course resemble our
41:46
other Shooters because we want to make the best possible shooter but in general
41:51
we've tried to do something completely unique okay what did he even say he said
41:56
a whole bunch of [ __ ] you've watched the movies a lot though do they aim down
42:00
the side of the gun of course they do then who cares not well to be clear well
42:05
Stormtroopers can't because the costume
42:08
prevents them from like the the chin you can't get your chin against the gun but
42:12
they do hold the gun like this now I
42:15
actually have from shepperton Design
42:18
Studios a stormtrooper Blaster oh that
42:21
I'm going to go retrieve now while you maybe do another topic or something like
42:25
that don't worry I got this I got this I'm going to go retrieve my Stormtrooper
42:30
Blaster and we're going to find out if it has anything on it resembling SES or
42:34
if that's even more nonsense than it already appeared to be cool that's I
42:38
will return I would love to do another topic for you guys but my laptop has
42:42
completely lagged out just use mine all right I can use Linus's laptop oh
42:47
fantastic oh there we go my laptop's working again good timing so we have
42:52
another Topic in here that isn't actually uh it doesn't have any notes on
42:56
it at all but I'm going to cover it anyways because I just think it's that
42:59
hilarious I'm going to try to post it in chat let's see if it'll work yes okay so
43:05
Jewelers are starting to Plate Apple watches with gold to undercut Apple's
43:11
pricey Edition models hilarious and it
43:14
looks really good like okay I don't like
43:17
gold to be completely honest I would actually rather the Silvery model one if
43:21
I wanted one of them but it looks really good for what it is and I think that's
43:26
absolutely hilarious I don't know how how much it costs golden dreams is Apparently one of
43:31
them so it cost about $3,500 oh my butt's wet oh not
43:48
cool how much water was that here
43:52
bit can I see yeah yeah here just oh wow
43:57
yeah so that mostly went on your butt too yeah no it went like it went like
44:02
like it hit the shirt and kind of went down the pants
44:05
actually so okay that's good to know so all the water that's on the couch has
44:09
actually touched your butt yes nice okay yes it is butt water I wanted to make
44:13
sure that it was at least butt water okay what what are we talking about um
44:17
Apple watch the guys that are plating it with gold for
44:21
$3,500 24 karat gold 24 karat yellow
44:25
gold 18 karat rose gold or 18 car white gold so there is a less expensive
44:30
Service uh the one that we've actually talked to is watch plate which is doing
44:36
it for 400 bucks which I think is actually a lot more reasonable because
44:40
when you account for that the Apple watch it has an $85 bomb cost I I think
44:46
spend 24 karat rose gold or 24 karat yellow C which is even better than the
44:51
spec I'm not aware of 24 karat rose gold cuz like the composition of rose gold I
44:55
don't know if it actually allows for 24 someone tweeted me about this and I
44:59
didn't look into it any further but I don't know much about my point is for
45:04
something like a mobile device that I that I you know realistically you're
45:08
going to replace at least every couple of generations I think 700 or $800 total
45:14
is a lot more reasonable than you know three or four or $5,000 total let alone
45:20
15 or 17 or however much an addition costs so I think this is brilliant I a
45:25
lot of the comments on the thread on the Forum were about um how Apple's probably
45:30
going to sue I don't see how Apple could sue them I don't think you can that's
45:34
like that's like Ford suing someone for painting their car and they're not
45:39
selling goldplated Apple watches they're selling the service of gold plating a
45:44
Apple watch and I actually talked to watch plate the the guy at watch
45:47
plate.com I think they're going to send us an Apple Watch for review because we
45:50
obviously weren't able to get one from Apple because we're us um and it will be
45:54
so in much the same way that we do uh debr and um skinned phones since dbrand
46:00
provides our phones um it looks like we're going to do a goldplated watch and
46:03
so we'll we'll work in some messaging about the goldplated watch and all that
46:07
and anyway um so so we're probably going to work with those guys on it and I'm
46:11
really I'm really excited to see it anyway I talked to him and the
46:14
background of their company is really really interesting so they actually have
46:18
other businesses including uh something to do with like motorcycles and stuff
46:22
too so they're actually not just a fly
46:25
by night like dude in his garage with some chemicals plating things um so so
46:31
that's that's pretty cool that's that's good to know and he's looked very deeply
46:37
into the legality of this already and kind of went I he's got it cover this is
46:41
his process you you you place your order yeah uh you wait for a shipping label
46:45
which they will send you when it's when it comes to you you package up your
46:49
watch and ship it to them they gold plate it and ship it back within 3 days
46:52
and then you're done so they're not actually selling anything to do with the
46:56
watch other than plating it and you're allowed to do modifications for things
46:59
yes so if they were selling goldplated watches then there's a big problem
47:04
especially if they were calling it like you know addition watch for you know
47:08
$8.99 or $9.99 or whatever then then
47:11
it's like there's a trademark infringement there's all kinds of stuff that Apple can go after them for this
47:16
just looks like Apple's going to have to shut up and take it on the chin and uh
47:21
there's going to be no actual way to differentiate a goldplated cheaper watch
47:27
from an addition watch on the street and the people who buy addition watches are
47:31
just going to have to live with that is there like under the bottom of the watch
47:35
does it actually say addition on it probably so like I still think those
47:41
guys that were going to go out of their way to buy a $10,000 watch will probably
47:45
still do it I really wish they'd buy something other than an ad I've just not
47:51
saying it's a good idea yeah I just think they'll actually probably still do
47:54
it I guess why do I care it's not like I think buying a $10,000 watch is a good
47:58
idea in the first place yeah no I don't this might even give them more of a
48:02
reason because then they can look down on the people like if you see some if
48:05
you're wearing a gold one and someone else is wearing a gold one you can be like oh well is it actually an
48:11
addition and then if they're like no I just got a CO bit you okay sure that's
48:16
fine I got an actual addition blah blah blah blah blah I'm on their site right
48:20
now I'm looking to see if they show the bottom of it at all I don't know has
48:24
anyone actually reviewed the addition yet
48:27
I don't know I I have no idea I'd love
48:30
to see a picture of the bottom just so I can find out or if there's something in
48:36
the firmware that tells us it's an addition like if you can you know scroll
48:40
down to a menu or something I don't know I don't see a single picture of the
48:44
bottom of the watch it seems like no one's actually that interested in that
48:48
that's funny anyway I'm really looking forward to reviewing it I'm also apparently also
48:54
courtesy of dbrand uh apparently going to reviewing the MacBook
49:00
2015 you know what here's the way I'm
49:03
going to tackle it there's actually a couple different angles that I have in my mind so I'm going to try and use it
49:10
I'm going to legit I was going to say the only way I think you can do it is use it and actually see how many times
49:15
you are unable to use it properly so I'm going to keep a tally of the number of
49:19
times that I needed to so I'm going to have to use it for an extended period I actually have a couple ideas of content
49:25
and one thing to keep in mind is while I believe that his uh Massacre of the
49:30
product will be just he is a cable salad
49:34
power user whenever we're in an airport there's everything you could possibly
49:38
connect to everything whenever we're anywhere there's everything you could
49:41
possibly connect to everything um so it will be somewhat of an extreme case I
49:46
I'm that's in saying that like I said I still think it's just but there's a
49:50
couple ways it could win me over there's a couple ways that could convince me
49:53
I've heard Apple's touchpads are outstanding I've used them briefly I've
49:57
never owned a Macbook though so I've used them they seem great every time
50:01
I've Ed them they seem really good I do prefer a mouse in general but I also
50:05
have never owned a Macbook so a mouse is the kind of thing that I very frequently
50:10
I carry one in my backpack I carry a mouse pad I very frequently plug a mouse
50:14
into my laptop what you talking about like a lot of us might carry mice and
50:18
mouse pads but there's not that many people that do that so I'm going to give
50:23
it a chance to win me over I'll give it a chance to win me over but I'm exp in
50:27
it to be a massacre when I was in school I carried a mouse and mouse pad to every
50:31
class of but like that's us like I don't know how many people will do so let's
50:35
see we'll see how it goes um but uh I'm
50:38
I'm I'm definitely I'm definitely stoked on that it's definitely going to be a
50:42
lot of fun I also brought my keyboard got a lot of people telling me to
50:45
apparently it says 18K gold on the bottom of the Edition okay all right
50:48
thank you very much so if they start engraving them then it's a problem I
50:53
guess maybe I don't know no cuz you're allowed to engrave anything you want
50:57
yeah and if if you actually spray it with 18K gold you wouldn't even be lying
51:01
yeah it would just say 18 well yeah but I could I could engrave it with made in
51:06
space and it's gray and that's not
51:09
that's not an infringement of made space gray coated with
51:13
plastic that it be like 20 karat gold like whatever 2 um okay so let's move on
51:19
to our oh no no let's go back a topic so
51:24
this is my E18 blaster this is uh from
51:27
shepperton Design Studios they sent this over along with the stormtrooper armor
51:32
that we featured in a couple of our videos in the past and uh let's have a
51:37
look here so now now EA has come out and
51:40
said that some some rifles will have
51:44
Scopes so sniping for example will be possible you're not going to have to hit
51:48
fire if you're sniping but I know for a fact that Han Solo's Blaster does have a
51:53
small scope on it even if it doesn't have an iron sight and and I now know
51:58
for a fact that the e11s in the original
52:02
in the original Star Wars and New Hope have a scope and an iron sight right
52:10
there so EA straight up lied to us again
52:13
there's your iron sight yes you can look down it if you were and you can see the
52:19
way the scope is mounted is on is on a
52:22
gun rail that scope comes off there's
52:27
your rear there's your front of the iron sight bam that is not a sniper rifle
52:34
that is a standard issue assault rifle and it has an iron sight EA Q D Get
52:42
Wrecked Get Wrecked all
52:47
right and that's as close to screen authentic as you're going to find it's
52:51
not like they just tacked on iron sights for no apparent
52:54
reason um oh yeah right uh we have sponsors for
52:59
this show and one of them is one of them
53:02
is linda.com hey look at that we got a new
53:06
mouse it works this week oh yay yay I
53:11
forgot about that linda.com is used by excuse me used by thousands of millions
53:16
of people around the world thousands of millions except not cuz that's a really
53:20
big number that's billions you could probably learn about that on linda.com
53:24
yeah you could probably learn some math on Linda all right well you could learn Excel
53:28
used by millions of people around the world they have more than 3,000 courses
53:32
available which is what I guess you were thinking of EX they have topics like web
53:36
development photography visual design business WordPress Photoshop Excel thank
53:42
you and the courses are taught by industry experts
53:46
so the whole idea behind it is that you get your your plan so they start at $25
53:51
a month and then you learn whatever you want at your own pace whatever your
53:55
objective happens to be you want to get get better at your hobby you want to get
53:58
better at your job you want to get a promotion opportunity you want to start
54:01
a completely new job altogether you want to become a freelancer working at home
54:05
linda.com I'm not going to say is the answer but it is sure as heck a place to
54:09
start and if you check out our link right here linda.com show you can try it
54:13
for free for two weeks to find out if it's right for you if the whole learning
54:17
at your own pace thing is a good two like business weeks 10 days 10 days
54:23
sorry yeah two two thank you business weeks let's just
54:27
call that speaking of business freshbooks.com is the online tool for
54:31
folks who run their own business yes so
54:34
instead of and I by the way I I oh oh if
54:38
your parents are watching I have now paid the invoice for the Copper from
54:44
your dad's Plumbing business which you haven't but I'm but I'm saying this so
54:49
that they know that it I have I have done my I have done my part of it he has
54:54
disengaged so this is the old way you know a contractor books a job and they
55:00
kind of have a vague notion vague notion of how many hours they spent on the
55:05
project not that we were being build hourly anyway because Loop's dad is a
55:08
freaking Saint and really helped us out with that project 4 in the morning yep
55:13
and so so you kind of track your hours you kind of track your materials you
55:17
hopefully have your receipts somewhere and then at the end of it you hopefully
55:21
remember to send an invoice in a timely manner and then the customer hopefully
55:25
pays you at some point with fresh books the workflow is simplified you use the
55:29
online tool to track things like your hours track mileage keep track of all
55:33
that stuff it's stored online so when you finished the job it's as simple as
55:37
Boop email something to the client get a notification that they've read it they
55:42
can pay it by credit card and instead of you know running around dealing with
55:46
payments and billing you are running around doing your business so check out
55:49
freshbooks.com slw if you or anyone you
55:53
know is looking for a way to simplify your accounting and if you do so try to
55:57
remember to enter when and the how did You Hear About Us section when you sign
56:00
up oh yeah right thank you for that all
56:03
right our last one today is mass drop least favorite sponsor what oh cuz
56:09
you spend all your money cuz they take my money yes and if you want to play
56:12
Battlefront you could get the battle station bundle to play with Battlefront
56:16
so you can shoot with iron sights all right so it's
56:19
drwan show and the battle station bundle
56:23
is actually looking pretty appealing right about now now when it first
56:28
launched it was not at its lowest price because that's the way that mass drop
56:33
works is they have a price range and whatever deal they Source based on
56:37
community feedback from the manufacturer starts at the highest price which is
56:41
usually moderately discounted or even just a little bit discounted and then
56:45
the more people glom onto it the lower the price drops and this one is looking
56:49
like a pretty Kick-Ass deal because it's already at the lowest price you guys
56:54
don't even need to commit to anything look at that they were only projecting
56:59
10 to reach the lowest price there's only 2 days left they sold 104 of these
57:05
so it's an ergotech ARM and 3 24in LG
57:10
monitors and the price is apparently uh
57:15
$39.99 us so I think I'm on I think I'm
57:18
seeing Canadian pricing oh oh oh I'm not
57:22
9.99 to Canada yeah I'm not signed in so it's not yeah so it's 53 to Canada and
57:27
then the US pricing right now is hopefully in the dock somewhere unless
57:33
totally five oh 540 us oh wow did that
57:37
say 539 Canadian what no it must be us
57:41
oh it's just shipping plus Canadian shipping okay so yeah it's 540 us for a
57:46
triple monitor ergotech ARM and three
57:49
1080p IPS display so pretty sick deal
57:53
you guys can check that out at draw UPS slw show sign up for Mass drop and check
57:58
our link which is the one that he just talked about for a variety of drops as
58:01
well oh yeah they just that they have more than that I usually I usually have
58:05
that knife they have like all kinds of cool stuff on there actually I got an
58:09
audio recorder so that we don't have to use Brandon's anymore not that long ago
58:12
that's good so that was pretty good yeah that was actually been using Brandon's
58:16
for a really long time we've got a rapid fire topic posted by Overlord original
58:20
article here is from tech power up and
58:24
uh fix Stars unveils the highest capacity 2 and 1/2 in SSD yet
58:32
6,000 gabes what that's ridiculous unknown
58:37
controller right now 6 million
58:42
megabytes keep going six billion
58:48
kilobytes Six Trillion
58:51
bytes six quadrillion tth of a bite
58:55
which doesn't actually exist because a bite is eight no eight bits so you would
59:00
only have like 78 of a bit per tenth of
59:04
a bite which is stupid sorry should I it is kind of dumb
59:10
it does make sense at a third certain point it's just really annoying to calculate but not for a computer anyways
59:15
time to keep going um it has an unknown controller up Nick hey how's it going
59:21
I'm going to make this super awkward oh thank you bringing us water what a nice
59:26
guy thanks Nick thanks Nick we appreciate you wow he flipped us off you
59:31
know Brandon Appreciation Day is coming do you remember that Brandon appreciation day almost a year AG almost
59:37
a year ago we had Brandon appreciation day where we called Brandon in and then
59:42
we're just like I appreciate you and then you told me to make a calendar
59:45
notification for it for the next year I completely forgot about it was setting
59:49
up the garbage calendar schedule and then saw Brandon appreciation day really
59:53
and was like what the hell is that that should we have Brandon appreciation day
59:58
again when is it August 1st August 1st which Saturday but we can just do it on
60:02
the day before rock on we should we should totally do Brandon Appreciation
60:06
Day this year don't tell him I I asked
60:10
him what the hell it was but you asked Brandon what it was but cuz I was like I
60:14
was like I don't know what this is but he doesn't know that we're doing it again oh I see so he'll probably just
60:20
forget about it okay excellent all right so uh basically the details of that SSD
60:25
are pretty straightforward uh 15 15 nanometer
60:31
mlc um mlc flash uh the underlying
60:35
controller is unknown yes um it saturates a SATA 36 GB per second
60:40
interface 540 megab per second read up to 520 megabytes per second right it
60:45
supports trim it has a three-year warranty um no no random iops
60:51
specifications are stated so the idea here is I think that this is not
60:56
intended to be a high performance desktop drive this is a mass storage SSD
61:00
for some reason I would laugh so hard if it was just like this tall no no it's
61:05
not it's not it's not it's it's it's standard I think oh 9.5 mm thick
61:09
standard 9 and a half millim thick like well it is 2 and 1/2 in in that
61:13
Dimension it's just also 3 feet tall that would be super awesome to put in
61:19
your notebook and just have like a 6 tbte laptop notebook SSD it's not going
61:25
to fit a lot of not books but it'll fit like some of the the like big ones the
61:29
really big ones yeah even those are moving to m.2 like even Ms size gt8 only
61:35
but if you get those like those little Boutique laptops that you can configure
61:38
like crazy a lot of times they'll still have big Drive areas cuz you can swap
61:42
out like your optical drive bay when they're still really big and use that as
61:46
a drive slot that's true all right assus
61:50
recalls the mg279 Q free sync compatible display
61:57
this was originally posted by Reigns X and the original article is from
62:01
sweclockers um this this display has
62:06
been um oh this is Swedish that makes sense
62:11
okay well at any rate I guess I won't be telling you
62:15
anything while I read it directly off of the not translated for some reason page
62:21
so pretty much the only English sources
62:24
right now are apparently forums so that was actually right in my notes on the
62:27
topic uh apparently the display skips every sixth frame mostly visible during
62:34
smooth motion at a constant speed which makes sense um it creates hiccups and
62:39
they are withdrawing all mg279 qes from the sales Channel all dissatisfied
62:44
customers should contact support early next week the issue should be possible
62:48
to correct with a new firmware but they need to be returned to the factory to
62:52
update with specialized equipment this is something that I legitimately don't
62:56
understand why is it that mon monitor manufacturers are afraid to provide
63:01
firmware update support on them we're allowed to update the firmware on our
63:06
motherboards we can even update firmware on graphics cards if we want that
63:10
doesn't Avid warranty which graphics card for more updates I think it does
63:15
but on a monitor I don't really I don't really understand why uh why they can't
63:21
just have like a uh you know a Diagnostics only USB port or better yet
63:25
the USB port that's already on there um
63:29
have like a diagnostic mode or like a switch you can hit or something like
63:32
that it doesn't actually connect really to the monitor yeah I guess that's true
63:37
it's just powered yeah so I mean fine
63:40
then come up with a different way I don't care I mean I yeah just some way
63:46
to do it that would be cool enough monitors are coming out now like you saw
63:50
the um what was that stupid the first
63:53
free sync monitor available first free
63:56
sync was it AO ISO I can never remember how you're supposed to pronounce it uh
64:02
the first free sync monitor for sale but basically it came
64:07
without freesync support and relied on a firmware update I I can't I can't I
64:12
can't remember who it was uh ocuk it
64:15
appears yeah so it required a firmware update once it was released I'm sitting
64:19
here going well why don't you just why don't you just actually give us the
64:23
ability to update the firmware of this yeah I I wasn't saying it's not doable I
64:28
just they can't do it through their current USB setup y CU it's just like
64:31
you're 100% right which is the best kind of right yeah Tesla now selling used
64:37
electric cars posted by tangra on the Forum original article here's from The
64:42
Wall Street Journal we kind of already talked about this well yeah but you only
64:45
intro it there's not really much else to say
64:50
so pretty much these are going to be cars that are coming off of lease and
64:54
they are going to sell them
65:00
online is there anything else we can say it's cool they're like they're certified
65:04
pre-owned or whatever which is cool uh I don't think there's really a huge
65:10
discount on a lot of them I checked out the Vancouver one not like I was going
65:13
to actually buy one just cuz I was interested it's still way out of my
65:17
price range by a lot but anyways I was
65:20
just interested cuz I was like Hey cuz you and me were talking about how the
65:24
only way we'd probably ever get something like a Tesla as if it was used
65:27
and way older than it is now um so I was like hey okay where's the landscape now
65:34
still way too far away for both of us
65:38
unfortunately um but like the discount
65:41
was not that high but then part of the problem is the ones being uh sold as
65:46
used on the Vancouver Market will have like 5,000 clicks really that's it what
65:51
are people doing with them that's my point I don't know and I'm like why is
65:55
this even here it's barely left the lot and I'm like okay well of course there's
65:59
no huge discount this thing has barely been driven like where's the one with
66:04
like that dude that drives like crazy and racked up like a 100,000 clicks
66:09
already yeah that drives like an hour and a half to work and then charges his
66:13
car and then drives home every day yeah where is that guy I guess he doesn't
66:16
have a Tesla he hasn't resold it guess he's like he's a he's a working Schmo
66:21
and uh can't afford a Tesla unfortunately yeah so I the Vancouver
66:25
Mar is a little bit starving right now I didn't do a ton of research apparently I
66:29
think Nick checked out more like the the like San Fran one and stuff like that
66:34
which will'll have way more apparently there's stuff in the program available for between $60 to $90,000 which is
66:39
definitely less than a new model S um but still going to be out of a lot of
66:43
people's price range and they are putting a warranty on it so the certified pre-owned ones are going to
66:47
have uh 4year or 50,000 mile warranties
66:50
on them which would last four years for your dude over there yeah yeah seriously
66:57
oh um it's currently only available in 11 US cities apparently and uh the cars
67:02
are coming from display models and or oh could be a display model oh so test
67:07
drives could be test drives oh so there
67:10
you go see that makes a ton of sense all right so yeah I don't really know what
67:16
else to say about selling used cars it's cool but it's not like I don't know I
67:19
mean to put this in perspective more like the kind of car that I've been
67:23
shopping for lately is like a be van for
67:26
lonus Media Group I was I was I was literally seeing
67:30
if I could buy a van for like a few thousand and I found I found a uh I
67:35
found a 2002 Honda Odyssey for $3,200
67:39
with $85,000 clicks on it or something like
67:42
that van are expensive is it minivan minivan no van vans in general the
67:47
$3,200 I thought that was pretty good that's pretty that's a lot of mileage
67:50
it's a lot of mileage good but it's a lot of mileage but considering that
67:53
it'll basically get driven to from the
67:56
office or not yeah we wouldn't use it much yeah
68:02
yeah so I was thinking cuz I don't want something expensive I want something
68:05
like super craptastic that I don't even have to lock the doors but you can throw
68:09
a bunch of junk in it whenever we need to move probably have to lock the doors
68:12
because with my car I'm really not worried about people stealing it um it's
68:16
a manual for one thing which is apparently a huge theft deter in North
68:19
America and for number two it's like not
68:23
useful for Smash and grab it has no cargo cap whereas a lot of people steal minivans
68:27
so they can smash and grab interesting I had no idea that's sense it makes a ton
68:32
of sense and because there's so many minivans on the road like stuff like a
68:35
Dodge Caravan for example is a prime target because it's like yeah there's a
68:40
missing vehicle it's a you know red Dodge Caravans like okay well there's a
68:44
lot of those crap ton of them and because there's so many it's probably
68:47
pretty well documented on how to break into them y yep so all all that kind of
68:52
stuff so we might actually have to worry about you know not having that we park
68:55
it inside I was just going to say we can park it in it's not like we're going to fill the whole thing yeah because for
68:59
those of you who are wanting to see what the new LMG headquarters is looking like
69:04
if you snagged a vessel membership back when we uh announced the free ones
69:09
during the first few days then it's already up on vessel we have a tour of
69:13
the new office and if you haven't then that's going to be coming to YouTube
69:16
very very soon and it'll give you a really good look at the New lonus Media
69:21
Group HQ which I personally think is awesome and I think is a good opport for
69:25
us to jump into um the feedback on the
69:29
most recent video that we launched on vessel have you the com some guy just
69:34
posted in the chat Lon you can buy our old Chrysler for, 1500 bucks 89k miles
69:41
89,000 miles yeah but miles you're probably in the states it's going to be
69:45
a nightmare getting that card here oh yeah no good thank you though I really I
69:49
sincerely appreciate the offer um but I
69:54
I really vehicle not a good idea
69:57
especially when you're in that low of price it's not going to be worth it yeah
70:01
thank you though can't say can't say
70:05
thank you enough um but no thanks that's
70:09
also, 1500 us oh yeah which would legitimately turn
70:13
into a lot more once you move it to Canadian all right so let's go ahead and
70:19
let's um let's let's uh let's fire up you know it's really funny
70:24
because we got so many complaints about
70:28
not doing unboxings anymore back when we killed them and we did an unboxing the
70:34
other day and the the N okay a that's
70:38
not very many likes and B the amount of hate on the
70:44
unprofessionalism of the video is uh so
70:48
there's like there's some people that like it but here we go this feels less
70:52
professional than usual here's someone that likes
70:57
it um bad
71:00
sound uh this is very disrespectful rude
71:04
and unprofessional disrespectful wow
71:07
um what what else we got whoa I think you should remove the video from here
71:12
and present your excuses to your fans and followers and to factual design stop
71:16
rushing wow um
71:20
okay uh
71:25
so like some people like it some people are like yeah he's um you know who cares
71:34
this guy's like yeah they're almost always why was this unboxing so ghetto
71:38
and unprofessional was it more ghetto and unprofessional than it it normally is
71:44
like the one guy complained about sound we should still have good sound even if
71:47
it's a I thought it was it was fine I mean there was some winds I was wearing
71:50
a lav so like that's kind of life sometimes you guys could put a wind sock on a lav no but I was wearing it in my
71:55
my shirt like it's not that bad um so yeah I don't know we we thought we were
72:00
like I haven't I haven't watched it I thought we were like doing the right I
72:03
thought we were doing the right thing you know like hey let's bring back
72:06
unboxing a while wait till it hits YouTube and kind of have to feel it out
72:10
a little bit more and whatnot but yeah what's the title of it but with that
72:14
said I mean the vessel audience is in some ways going to be like sort of the
72:19
the die hards yep the guys that don't miss a video even if the video is called
72:24
hey we're launching on a new platform as opposed to heyy here's a hot new product
72:28
you might actually give two cares about um so yeah I I don't know I was just I
72:33
was quite taken aback yeah got a lot of
72:36
people saying like yeah it was it was bad it was terrible in fact the entire
72:39
twitch chat has uh has pretty much has pretty much exploded with people saying
72:44
like it was great or it was like super stupid it was super terrible and um so I
72:50
don't know I don't know maybe we'll bring back unboxings as like a a a
72:54
regular or even once in a while thing um
72:57
I don't I don't know I don't know I mean the reality of it is um unboxings are a
73:03
good way for us to address a product like the defin s where I could have done
73:08
a full review Luke could have done a full review but the cold hard truth is
73:12
it's the Define R5 the full review wouldn't have taken much more time than
73:16
the unboxing it's a Define R5 with no front door and no Drive cages in the
73:22
front and more water cooling radiator spots sort of because the Define R5 has
73:26
them you just have to pull out the cages that would have been the review what
73:30
else am I supposed to say the the the the thing like the fact of the matter
73:34
here is we've got we'll have people complain about us glossing over this
73:38
product but then we're going to have people complain or worse yet simply not
73:43
watch the video when we do like a proper
73:47
more professional review as opposed to just goofing around and having some fun
73:51
with it on a product that just isn't very interesting so I don't know and
73:56
when you get to we've discussed this but not with necessarily this terminology
74:00
when you get to masterful levels in product tiers like we kind of have in
74:05
certain ways with phones where like you're you're outpacing what people need
74:09
or want other than freaking batteries but anyways that's he means the product
74:14
not our reviewing technique yeah yeah yeah so when the to clarify we're
74:19
basically masters of reviewing so everyone just needs to not what I meant
74:22
at all calm their boobies down bad my bad my b um so basically when the
74:27
iterations become much less interesting it's hard to make an interesting 5 to 7
74:31
Minute video every time and sometimes it's actually kind of better to just be
74:36
like look these two things are different
74:39
this is a general idea of the product you're welcome there you go all
74:44
right people have been demanding a straw pole the straw pole is here um got
74:49
people making good points if it's not that interesting why unbox it well some
74:53
people are still going to want to see it it's a fractal product I still don't
74:56
mind showing it to you guys it's not a bad case in fact there's some really
75:00
good things about it I personally don't think that many people need more than
75:04
five mounting points for drives I've actually and I think you have too
75:07
struggled with certain ideas where we want to show you guys something but it
75:11
would only take 30 seconds to show it to you so how do we do that because if we
75:15
release a 30 second video I mean there's a uh I mean there's
75:21
the possib I mean what I've done with stuff like that in the past is the handy
75:25
Tech series is an interesting way of tackling that where we do we often come
75:30
up with ways and we make it work but like that's that is a legitimate problem
75:33
but it's funny because if we pad the content people complain and if we make a
75:38
a short piece like I did what I called I think I called it like a micro review
75:42
for the Moto E which was again a product I didn't think was particularly
75:46
interesting but was relevant from the perspective of you know someone who's
75:50
doesn't have a lot of money and is shopping for a phone um so I did what I
75:54
called a micro review and then we get people complaining that the content to
75:59
uh sponsor spot ratio is not good and I'm kind of sitting here going who cares
76:04
who actually cares it's at the end of
76:08
the video you don't have to keep watching we we do that out of
76:12
consideration for you guys and it's it's not a better video if we just write it
76:18
to be longer and put in filler it's it's
76:21
not a better video If there's no point to the cont that were staying it doesn't
76:25
make it better and like I would make the argument that for something like the Define s the point was the voyage of
76:31
Discovery I mean that's what people claim to have always liked about the unboxings that we did was this is the
76:36
first time I'm seeing it and here's the here's the process um I mean a lot of
76:40
the complaints about it are about apparently the way that I handled the case you know how I handled the case I
76:46
lifted it up to shake it to demonstrate that something had come loose inside and
76:51
the side panel came off because the screws had come out
76:55
did I handle that case poorly who handled that case
76:58
poorly not him that's the answer to that
77:02
question so and people are like upset oh he's throwing it around I never threw it
77:06
around I dropped the side panel because the side panel screws came out because
77:11
the captive nubbins on it make it so that only a tiny bit of the threading
77:15
goes into the side panel so which is something that is
77:22
actually really really hard to capture that's actually an interesting Point that's really hard to capture in a
77:26
professional review because when he takes that side panel off it's not going
77:30
to be filmed the first time um and it's
77:34
not going to end up really making it in the video and then if he claims like oh the side panel came off because the
77:38
screws are short then some people will not necessarily believe him blah blah
77:41
blah blah but with that said no one would ever open up a case by shaking it
77:44
you know if they were buying it for themselves and I would make a decision
77:49
when but there's always there's there's always going to be The Accidental clumsy
77:53
where they bump something or trip on on something and like later on if they're carrying their computer around and their
77:57
buddy like slops them on the shoulder and it's like hey man and the side panel
78:00
falls off like I don't know yeah it seems pretty unlikely I mean I think I
78:05
think far what I would probably do when I'm writing that script is I would go
78:08
okay am I actually going to encounter this problem
78:13
if I'm buying the seen the uning taking it apart yeah no I shake it around a
78:17
fair bit so if I buy the case I take the side panels off I put them in the in the
78:21
Box safely while I you know build my computer in it no I'm not so not going
78:25
to mention that but it is something that probably should have been addressed
78:30
they should have had a longer screw anyway the point is it's just stop
78:34
spoiling the video's it's just an unboxing it's the
78:38
the the only entertaining thing about the video is just hey here's a video I
78:42
talk about the product it's kind of entertaining I hope um all right so
78:46
let's go ahead and what the straw oh um
78:51
so somewhere around
78:54
so the wow audience wants somewhere between 77 and
78:59
94% in favor of unboxings with that said they don't get
79:05
the kind of viewership that our proper reviews do um so for me I like I see it
79:09
as a way of as a way of covering products that I think are interesting enough to make a video but not
79:13
interesting enough to spend the hours and hours and hours and hours and hours
79:16
involved in making one of our normal videos which is why we selected the one we did to be completely honest so let's
79:22
see maybe we'll we'll try it a couple more times or we'll see how the Define
79:26
S1 goes when we launch it on YouTube and stuff like that what
79:31
about yep um I think we should just try that rather than pulling them about it
79:35
we'll just see how it goes um there was
79:38
another topic I wanted to hit just now Nintendo is apparently working on a
79:42
theme park yeah so they're joining forces with Universal Parks and Resorts
79:47
this is the first ever attractions based Nintendo thing and there's no other info
79:54
um and that's the actual logo yeah that's at all horrible that's for a game
79:58
I own it it's actually pretty good um okay so yeah so this is if you have
80:04
friends the article is pretty much pure speculation uh it was posted on the
80:08
Forum by notional and I would go I would
80:12
go I would go to this versus Disneyland oh 100% I think in terms of relevance to
80:16
my childhood I would be so scared to go though cuz the
80:20
merch oh the merch oh my financials yeah well that's
80:25
exactly it I mean Nintendo for Our Generation I think Nintendo is actually
80:29
has so much bigger than more relevance than Disney yeah um I mean I'm just
80:34
trying to think like Disney does a really good job with the princesses with the with the the young
80:40
the little girl demographic what do they have for the guys they got they got
80:45
cars um which cars is crap movie no oh
80:49
that was like that was like merched like
80:52
cars everything no no but is cars like a
80:56
guy specific thing um it's a guy technically yeah I think cars you could
81:01
be a girl and be interested in race cars yeah you could but I think that's not
81:04
when they when lesser percentage when they sat down and they had a planning
81:07
meeting for the demographic they're targeting I don't think little girls it
81:11
was was it um so not frozen so yeah so
81:15
not frozen like what targets what targets little boys
81:20
Aladdin Aladdin was never really merched in the way that something like a car or
81:25
and it's old any of their new stuff I don't really know back in the
81:30
day Aladdin people saying cars is Pixar
81:33
Pixar's owned by Disney
81:37
um they own Star Wars yeah they own Star Wars but that's not I've got someone
81:42
saying cars is a great movie I'm sorry but cars has Owen Wilson in
81:46
it I still think you should do your movie nothing with Owen
81:50
Wilson in column does contain
81:54
also falls into column is great movie a movie rating database like just a
82:00
database that automatically rates movies based on like contains Al anyone brings
82:05
up that Marley and Me atrocity I don't even want to talk to that person ever
82:10
again to story okay yeah but Toy Story was very poorly
82:14
merched yeah did did you ever like that's true there was there was some
82:18
would like Toy Story was and that was pre- Disney ownership by the way so Toy
82:23
Story was was a Pixar project that
82:27
seemed like they just it was pre-commercial yeah like they they used
82:31
actual toys other than uh Buzz Light ear and Woody so the only merch deal would
82:38
be things like bed spreads and stickers
82:42
did they even really sell Woody and Buzz much not much as far as I'm I remember
82:47
being a kid and being like the first time I ever saw a Buzz Lightyear toy I
82:51
was like whoa you can get those yeah
82:55
like it wasn't it wasn't like a oh I see these everywhere it didn't have the
82:59
Disney Juggernaut merchandising meile you can buy like bow and arrow sets from
83:06
The Hunger Games or whatever and like B you can buy whatever you want for new
83:10
ones like Frozen has everything you could possibly want Frozen was such a
83:14
huge Commercial Success you know they're working on the sequel now right yeah yeah so they've brought back uh some of
83:19
the some of the same folks um I'm stoked for it I'm going to watch it um Frozen
83:23
was good the Olaf dude the dude that runs the shop in the
83:26
mountains oh that's the Snowman what yeah oh oh no okay so you
83:31
me the Swedish guy right the Swedish guy yes so cool I love that guy he made the
83:36
whole movie for me anyways keep going um
83:39
where what were we yeah I don't know like I don't get it anyway so yeah Nintendo theme park I would go I would
83:44
take my kids there because it would have a lot more relevance to me it would be a lot more interesting to me it wouldn't
83:48
just be like and they'd still have fun yeah and they would still have fun
83:52
there's rides do they care chines do Mickey Mouse versus Mario Mickey Mouse
83:57
versus Mario how is that not in a fighting game
84:01
yet apparent apparently rayu might be coming
84:06
to uh Smash Brothers the whole it's so inbred now
84:12
like when are we going to get a stormtrooper in Smash Brothers that would be awesome matter of time absolute
84:17
matter of time like it just gets to the point where you add so many characters it's like completely imbalanced and it
84:22
doesn't and no one even cares anymore it's just like we oh people will care
84:26
there's a really hardcore smash Community I know that people will care
84:30
but like most people won't care if it's
84:33
something as cool as like we put Darth Vader and Smash Brothers one thing that
84:37
I like about smash a Darth Vader Angry Bird there's the people that care and
84:41
there's very specific like crossover of crossover sorry Angry Bird oh my god
84:47
um that would be so ridiculous um there
84:51
there's enough like fine control and specific things that there's people that can care and there's stuff in the game
84:55
that caters to them which is super cool but it's also so General and easy to
85:00
pick up that random people can just play still have a good time unless they're
85:03
playing against those people in which case the hardc it's ridiculous yes
85:08
anyways we have lost we have lost so many live viewers since I've like
85:13
stopped talking about topics we've lost like 300 well we're like done are we is
85:18
there anything else EVGA is releasing ddr4 memory apparently and DDR3 memory I
85:23
see enhanced is coming to GTA 5 soon so that's going to be interesting cuz
85:27
everyone's going to get banned unless they pirate it I guess so more game
85:32
developers giving people more reasons to Pirate things super cool has a black
85:40
PCB evidently carefully selected chips
85:43
that's good sounds delicious if they
85:46
didn't carefully select chips there might be a Dorito on your RAM yep Dorito
85:52
memory they should sell someone should sell like specifically not carefully
85:57
selected chips RAM they used to so there's a chance that when you order it
86:01
in the mail you just get a bag of Doritos but they're super cheap so it's
86:05
like a lottery I was trying to have a real you know like how in games you can
86:08
like buy a key to open the box and you get something random so it's like that
86:11
with Real World products so there's like a 50% chance you get a bag of chips and
86:15
there's a 50% chance you get RAM but it's
86:19
55% of the cost of the actual item so
86:22
this is back when they used to actually do that this is an article from legit
86:26
reviews from back in 2005 this was uh wow almost to the day
86:32
10 years ago um I'm old holy crap I
86:36
can't believe I remember this so uh UT memory I's were actually based on the
86:42
famous throwaway stuff wind Bond bh5 no
86:45
no they were they were not throwaway um they were like they were they were they
86:50
were like working chips so so basically some bh5 dies got like found somewhere
86:57
um and pretty much what happened was uh
87:01
ocz bought a whack ton of them and released them as VX modules voltage
87:06
extreme because the chips weren't see I
87:09
can't remember exactly what it means okay after they were packaged they were
87:13
not speed bined utt stands for untested
87:16
memory ic's they were based off old wind Bond Die revisions no one found them
87:20
someone apparently legitimately obtained them so ocz released their gold VX
87:27
modules and pretty much because they weren't speed bin in any way and they
87:31
weren't sorted you had to pump VX stood for voltage extreme you had to pump like
87:37
obscene amounts of voltage through them but because they were based on the
87:41
famous bh5 which were some of the best most famous overclocking memory ever um
87:47
they could still overclock really well if you just fed enough voltage to them the problem was that they would die at
87:52
some point so there you go so this pretty good article
87:56
apparently mushkin had some Redline memory like sick like 2226 timings at
88:02
3.3 to 3 and2 volts and a big sign on it
88:06
that says active cooling required this is like back in the wild west of like PC
88:11
Hardware it's just like yeah anything goes forget JD specifications we're
88:16
going we're going full on UT and you know what I mean back when the back when
88:21
the signals were running at much lower frequencies there was less cross talk
88:24
there was less complexity in the trace designs um back then this kind of stuff
88:29
could actually fly these days I don't
88:33
even recommend um I I don't even I don't even
88:37
recommend overclocking memory anymore I recommend putting it in your system at
88:42
the speed that it's supposed to run at and leaving it because it doesn't make a
88:45
difference to Performance anymore anyway I mean this was back in the days when
88:49
you were accessing memory over the front side bus so you would like over the snot
88:54
out of that and you needed high speed memory in order to stay in sync like
88:59
maintaining a one:1 ratio was like a big deal because all of a sudden you were
89:03
wasting fewer clock cycles and there was less latency like ah yeah and uh that's
89:09
when that kind of stuff was fun that was when that kind of stuff actually made an
89:12
ounce of sense these days overclocking memory just gets you random crashes
89:17
every once in a while and higher temperature memory yeah so there you go
89:23
yeah anyways um that was a fun show yeah so I
89:29
guess that's pretty much it thank you guys very much for tuning in apparently
89:32
people didn't like my RAM Lottery idea your RAM Lottery idea I wasn't even
89:37
listening to you I literally have no idea what you're talking about okay all
89:41
right well thank you guys for tuning in we'll see you again next week same bat
89:45
Time same bat channel did people not
89:49
understand it yeah I had someone tweet me what do you mean same bad time same
89:52
bad Channel what's wrong with the time and channel bat like Batman it's like
89:55
the old 70s Batman so that made me feel old too just all about the feeling old
90:00
today the best part is he's not actually that old I'm I feel old you're not
90:04
technically old enough to have seen that though that's true I'm old enough that
90:08
it was rerun on TV though I've I watched
90:11
it on YTV but obviously but doesn't YTV do the like super old school rerun
90:16
things I'm willing to bet they don't still rerun that like I'm willing to bet
90:19
their super old reruns are like Bobby's World now no you know yeah yeah right
90:26
because I've seen it
90:29
yeah okay oh it broke oh it didn't all
90:34
right people are asking for an after party but my back is swe so yeah and I
90:40
have a question from Ken about a
90:43
video
90:52
um next time Tesla cently the model 3 will be
90:56
unveiled next march interesting h i
91:00
don't believe rumors anymore I'll wait till it's
91:04
unveiled sponsors remember if you use all
