0:36

1:36
number two
1:40
um in other news NVIDIA teases another
1:43
titan x the collector's edition we we
1:47
needed this in other news next-gen AMD epic could be equipped with
1:52
an epic 64 course we also needed that
1:56
and in other news razer announced a phone
1:59
for gamers we needed that too i am going
2:02
to roll the intro what we really needed is wow classic servers no i'm really
2:08
officially on blizzard i'm rolling the intro yes i knew he was good i'm so
2:12
excited okay i'm rolling in
2:17
okay um it's weird cause i can't say battle.net
2:21
anymore because that's not what it is it's blizzard app what blizzard just is
2:27
it's so stupid no that's terrible the launcher thing though i'm not playing
2:32
any blizzard games right now but are people actually following suit and
2:35
calling it that or people just like no [ __ ] i'm still calling it battling that i i think
2:39
they're probably like no screw it what's your profile
2:42
battle tent i think i think mostly uh people are
2:46
saying battlenet but um
2:49
i don't really know no intro music by the way oh i don't
2:54
even care yeah
2:57
that's a luxury at this point
3:02
getting the dj to work yeah i don't know how that launched the youtube video
3:06
happened because i like legit did not change that at all publish the youtube
3:09
video no i haven't oh yeah yeah i published youtube video we're good we're good we're good we're live all right
3:14
okay so apparently it's now blizzardbattle.net
3:19
they changed it again wow that's terrible and they should feel
3:24
terrible these are the only the only entity to change their name more often
3:34
oh i wouldn't say you're no longer the worst man congratulations
3:38
oh okay still okay okay so i know you said
3:43
you have to go at five the time is now
3:48
5 46 actually got to take my intermission bio break before the stream
3:52
started it's great no no it's totally fine i
3:56
mean i i don't have like anywhere to be at a specific time i'm just trying to
4:00
limit it to like a half hour so i can get other [ __ ] done
4:03
got it well so much for that uh
4:07
so do you want to talk about some other stuff because i'm sure you'd love to
4:10
talk classic wow uh NVIDIA titan uh
4:13
collector's edition actually there's a lot of really great stuff today so you want to talk some topics with us first
4:17
or you want to jump into Floatplane what do you want to do it's it's up to
4:21
you we've wasted enough of your time yes it's totally your guys's call um i
4:26
mean i guess we can start with the flow plane stuff okay that's that's news okay
4:31
cool um let's do it yeah so uh kyle is the first person to join
4:37
Floatplane and he is having the
4:41
pre-alpha experience that is for sure um how's it
4:46
going so far there it's it's it totally is pre-alpha man
4:50
like i i feel like i feel like jumping in like as the first
4:55
it's almost like i'm the first woman that any man has ever seen
4:59
they're like oh my god there's what is that we've never seen one of these
5:02
before i'm just getting like royal treatment it's it's so it's super cool and
5:07
everyone's incredibly nice um you know like when i first went in there and i
5:11
was like interacting with people and like saying oh thanks i was like replying to everyone individually and
5:16
some guy was like you know kindly was like hey you know like glad you're here
5:20
but by the way you can use like the multi multi-quote yeah that's probably
5:23
preferred and so i was like yeah sure and then like i actually tried it out i
5:26
was like yeah like what do you think of my first multi quote how did i do and
5:29
he's like well you only quoted me so it's hard to say
5:35
i feel like my grandpa on facebook right now um so i mean but it's but it's been
5:40
great like your community's awesome everyone's been super kind and welcoming so far so okay
5:45
well that's that's really cool that's great sweet
5:49
um okay so basically right now the way that
5:53
it works i'm just gonna i'm just gonna fire up the store here
5:57
um is if you go to this so okay
6:01
our plan was actually not to bring on
6:05
other creators
6:09
for poorly so it was just me you created Floatplane just for bit with no no
6:14
no definitely untouched um luke just hasn't slept a lot
6:24
to be fair no one on the Floatplane team really has so um
6:28
because the plan for Floatplane was to bring other creators on
6:33
sometime after Linus media group properties had been
6:37
live on the new site for some time yeah
6:41
oh yeah so like like a while from yeah so like potentially other creators were
6:46
still four to six months out in terms of a realistic timeline and it
6:51
was like okay
6:55
that was kind of the uh you know if i was if i was Floatplane's child i was
7:00
i was definitely the mistake child yeah you were the premature the first one
7:04
being the first person yeah yeah um so basically and i think
7:08
you can partially blame youtube for that right well yeah off all the paid
7:11
channels as of two days ago and as far as i know i'm like one of the only if
7:16
not the only tech uh youtuber that actually had a paid channel on youtube's
7:20
platform so yeah i was really the only one to seemingly get affected by it and
7:25
that's when you guys were like hey like speaking of which we've got an
7:28
alternative that's way better uh well let's not get ahead of ourselves
7:33
well yeah we haven't seen the actual official site yet we're working on it
7:36
but we but we're working on an alternative so so how long were you
7:39
running bit with ultra as a paid channel through youtube before they just
7:44
like canned it um i want to say it's been about a year
7:50
which lines up i feel like youtube yeah i feel like youtube yeah it definitely
7:53
lines up with like how youtube works because they like to like work you up and be like hey look at all these new
7:57
features and things we added and then like it's congratulations it's your one
8:00
year anniversary we're shutting it down um so
8:04
i guess like it just kind of happened out of nowhere but yeah it's been it's been going for about a year now i
8:08
launched bit with ultra which was basically early access ad free
8:12
content um both on youtube and patreon
8:15
simultaneously because there was a huge a huge group of people who weren't able
8:19
to view paid channels on youtube based on the country apparently not all
8:23
countries are supported there so it was a huge huge just sort of ordeal i was
8:27
thinking oh you know it's not bad uploading all my content to a second
8:31
channel that's that's not too much work and then i find out that i have to
8:34
upload it to a third channel now because patreon doesn't actually have a native
8:39
uploader so i actually had to upload i had to create a third youtube channel
8:42
upload all my early access content there have it unlisted and then link it to
8:48
patreon it was just like so okay for the viewers out there
8:52
for the viewers out there that are sitting there going well gee um why why
8:56
are you an idiot why didn't you just upload the video to your bit wit channel
9:01
unlisted a week early and then give that to the patreon people and then just set
9:06
it public and hold on no no there's a legitimate reason for this whether kyle
9:10
himself is actually aware of it or not
9:13
i'm not sure but there's a real reason for this and we've observed that
9:17
algorithmically youtube doesn't entirely forget and i'm
9:23
using finger quotes for forget because youtube is uh not a sentient being um
9:29
although yeah so so far um it is a machine
9:35
that was the worst youtube does it sorry nick was doing the
9:40
stairs behind us he was walking down the stairs behind the show and he's like
9:43
he's like still in like twenty percent of the frame
9:47
i've been walking away um
9:50
so youtube doesn't entirely forget the
9:54
upload date when it does its machine learning
9:57
nonsense about you know sending out your video to
10:01
people so what's weird is like you'll upload something a week early let's say
10:06
and you'll set it public and the public like the date you see for
10:10
the video upload externally is the date you made it public but the date you see
10:15
internally in your cms is the date you uploaded it youtube still knows and what
10:20
we've observed is that leaving something sitting on the channel for some time
10:26
actually causes it to kind of rot yeah and not only just that but if you upload
10:30
something unlisted with the same name thumbnail and actual video content and
10:34
then release another one that second one will also get tanked
10:39
so and that's exactly why a lot of people were wondering like a lot of my ultra
10:44
subscribers who were you know when it was still on youtube they're like kyle why are you uploading the same video but
10:48
with a different title and thumbnail yeah it's because i was noticing as i
10:52
was getting you know getting situated with with this new model and stuff is
10:56
that like my v by video my view came just started to tank with all these
11:00
videos that were getting re-uploaded you know especially on a different channel
11:03
but still using the same metadata and things like that and then i noticed that
11:07
there was sort of an uptick once i started switching up the thumbnails and then i was like oh my god this becomes
11:11
even more work now um
11:19
to be clear to the viewers out there you know youtubers as a as a whole are not like
11:25
complaining about the hard work that we do to you know come up with a different
11:30
title for the video the second time we upload it or whatever it's just one of
11:33
those things where the honestly where it really runs into a lot of work for us is
11:38
when there's all these little different moving parts that we have to get synchronized
11:42
and then something's wrong and you have to like bail on a family dinner and go figure
11:47
out what's going on and which one you forgot and it's just having a bunch of
11:50
different moving parts when you go to publish a video is just kind of a pain
11:54
in the butt and it can also be more difficult than people realize to actually come up with
11:58
two good thumbnails and two good titles for the same video it's hard enough to
12:01
find one really effective thumbnail title let alone two
12:06
where like it's actually really good and eye-catching and grabby but also doesn't
12:10
piss off your audience for being click bait it's it's a you got you got to find that
12:14
fine line and finding two things on the fine line boy is that ever a balancing
12:18
act yeah
12:36
you know
12:43
such a gap of communication you know
12:46
what's going on behind the scenes between creator and viewers that they understand
12:55
one of my favorite things is that this whole paid channels going down thing is
12:58
on the exact to the day one year anniversary of vessel going
13:03
down is it really did you know yeah november
13:07
first notice i tweeted about it and everything november 1st was was when
13:11
vessel went down and november first was when youtube paid channels went down
13:15
internet so on the anniversary of vessel going down pay channels went
13:20
down and kyle joined full plane huh and it's also i mean because float
13:26
plane started almost to the day when vessel went down
13:29
because those two those two events were somewhat related let's say yeah um
13:34
that's also the anniversary of a Floatplane development actually starting not
13:38
quite to the day but like it was a few days earlier that's a little bit of a strong it's gray it's
13:43
gray well because there's also different stages because like the very beginning
13:46
we're like we put videos on forum you download really
13:49
um now there's like streaming can i tease things a little bit later
13:54
can we talk about it a little bit it's so janky right i know but can we just
13:58
can we just show some of the sure let's just do it okay so first first i'm going
14:03
to show the way that it actually works so kyle and i talked about this last night
14:08
one of the things that Floatplane strives to do
14:11
and the other guy that i don't know if his name is able to be public are going to slap me but yeah let's do it we'll
14:16
figure this out we'll figure this out so um so so kyle and i were talking last
14:19
night one of the things that Floatplane really wants to do is work with the creators on what's going to work best
14:24
for the platform and since kyle joined
14:27
um one of the biggest pieces of feedback
14:30
we've gotten from viewers has been like yo
14:34
right now it's three dollars for Linus media group and it's three dollars for
14:37
bit wit it would be great if we could combine those and do like a combo
14:42
purchase and so i had a call with kyle we talked it through last night i talked
14:46
to luke today and basically the conclusion that we came to is that
14:51
if we were to offer a discount we are either going to be like what it's going
14:57
to turn into is it's going to turn into trying to build a video platform
15:01
as opposed to trying to build a tool for individual creators to use
15:05
and that wasn't really the point of the platform in the first place so we crunch
15:10
some numbers and we figured out okay well what if the Floatplane platform
15:15
itself could just make some pie in the sky assumptions about bandwidth usage
15:22
being significantly lower for one person subscribed to 10 creators versus 10
15:26
people subscribed to one creator and we could just kind of absorb that out of
15:32
there and what we ended up with was a discount level that would frankly look
15:36
kind of insulting yeah and what we also ended up with was a fundamental change
15:42
to the model that we didn't really like so for us
15:45
we want to make sure that we're operating with a safe amount of margin
15:49
to keep the platform sustainable because we don't want to go down on november 1st
15:54
2018. yeah really and the other thing is that if we have
15:59
extra we have no problem giving it back but for us it's a creator
16:04
first platform and we'd love to do things like and kyla this is probably
16:08
the first time you're hearing about this but one of the things that i'd like to
16:12
do is take all of the Floatplane margin that's coming in from your first couple
16:16
of months here and then dump that into some promoted posts on facebook and
16:21
stuff like that to see if we can drive in more subscribers so that's the kind
16:25
of thing that we'd rather do versus just
16:29
you know discount a bundle of three creators by like a dollar
16:33
um so we want to make sure that any money that's coming in is going to
16:37
supporting the creators on the platform so i think we've pretty much made a final decision there uh
16:42
we're not going to offer bundles because it would really either hamper the choice
16:46
of creators in terms of the types of bundles that they want to offer
16:49
consumers or it would hamper our ability to properly develop and support the
16:54
creators and the platform so there you go there's that now let's jump into some
17:00
stuff that nobody has really seen before
17:03
oh geez okay okay actually one one more thing
17:06
this won't be the only time that i pimp this but um
17:10
it is in our best interest now for the first time ever to drive subscriptions
17:16
to another creator which is weird this is like this is like a weird awkward
17:20
position for me so i'm posting some links right now it's only awkward if you
17:24
want it to be right now you actually access bit wit through
17:29
the LTT forum so i'm going to show you guys how that looks
17:33
oh i hope which i i still have not gotten used to your admin again anytime
17:37
i like login like log it log into the Linus tech tips and like go to the store
17:41
i see Floatplane and i just see like my logo like okay
17:45
they're getting ddosed right now what's happening this this doesn't make
17:49
any sense no yeah no it's not it's not uh it's not an error that is a bit logo
17:54
on linustechtips.com super bizarre um so once you're subscribed what
17:59
happens is you'll see this Floatplane section at the top of the forum and then
18:03
you'll be able to go to bit with ultra and uh you will find um okay so right
18:10
now which which ones are early access
18:13
right now uh videos yeah
18:18
so let's see i think there's the announcement wall actually
18:23
right now there are no early access videos as far as like a week early um
18:27
there is just one that can you tell me what's coming
18:33
uh yes i can actually uh the h700i from
18:36
nzxt the new case oh cool it's like 200 freaking dollars um that's that's going
18:41
to be going up very soon um and additionally i think there's what's
18:47
the other one there's there's other stuff there's there's more good stuff coming soon
18:52
there i can't even think of it right now
18:56
that's fine that's a good enough sales pitch don't worry about it yeah yeah
18:59
it's totally great plus it'll look way better than it does on you
19:02
yeah yeah dog yeah and the secret to that is what just
19:06
like higher bit rate because a lot of people in the forum were were saying
19:10
that the 720 on your forum or on Floatplane really is
19:15
looking better and crispier than 1080p on youtube yeah so it basically it's a
19:20
bitrate thing it's more nuanced than that there's like uh how you transcode
19:24
it uh to be able to get more quality and a lower amount of bit rate and all this
19:29
kind of jazz but yeah there's some there's some special sauce going on
19:33
it does look really good yeah wow i don't even have to use my nice camera
19:37
and use my phone and it looks like like all my good stuff it's
19:41
actually kind of like what i've seen a pretty common comparison for and this is not from me
19:46
is that it's one step up kind of so 720
19:49
on ours looks sort of like 1080 on youtube 1080 on ours looks sort of like
19:52
4k on youtube yep and we haven't launched video it'll look like it
19:57
we have uh okay we are getting way ahead of ourselves
20:00
here okay the last the last time i'm gonna get ahead of ourselves today is to
20:04
show you guys what the site will not look like
20:08
oh effectively youtube.com because it's gonna be pretty different from this
20:11
right um sort of oh okay so it's not that difficult to be that different oh okay
20:16
okay cool and never mind i thought i was looking at an old version no okay the
20:19
blue top bar is gone ah because if you click on an individual
20:23
channel like if you click on Techquickie you can see how the top bar being gone
20:27
affects it more there you go ah yes okay okay cool
20:31
okay so kyle you may actually be see no you've seen this because you can log
20:35
into it so right now registration is closed you can't log into the site yeah
20:39
stop it but we are showing for the first time
20:42
what Floatplane may or may not end up
20:45
looking like yeah there's definitely going to be changes uh we're obviously
20:49
not going to have a giant razor logo in there yeah no that's just a random
20:53
placeholder image yep but there will be channel banners like this
20:57
um videos are going to be basically
21:00
the star of the show um there is going to be layout differences
21:04
though there will be layout differences and this is the videos tab so this
21:08
actually might look pretty exactly how it does now but there's probably going
21:11
to be a home tab that looks different right now it's full of placeholder
21:15
garbage like we make videos and stuff cool eh you should probably check out
21:19
Linus cat tips who put that there i i think i think that was uh Linus forzal
21:24
okay brilliant um so here's what playlists may or may
21:27
not end up looking like everything is there's a different yeah there's a different idea for those
21:32
um how close to the comment section is this
21:37
going to be hey here's a comment
21:40
post so there you go guys there's a comment
21:45
wow in real time it says how many seconds ago it was like dislike okay no
21:48
no no no no that's probably not going to continue to be a thing
21:51
hold on
21:55
real time comment counters no probably not that would bury us so fast
22:02
wow wow
22:06
um so here's some you know other videos from this particular creator so these
22:10
aren't hooked into the back end so we can't play the video right now but that's that's not a huge deal um are we
22:15
planning to have the video stay playable at the top as we scroll through the comments yeah so it's gonna stay fixed
22:20
and you'll keep scrolling and this particular screen will scroll yeah yeah
22:23
uh so like major things we need to work on right now is uh being able to
22:28
do payment stuff account creation is doing pretty okay
22:32
we're working on connected accounts so that you guys can log in with your forum
22:36
accounts that you already have for bit wood ultra and
22:39
LMG Floatplane and we'll have access to the things that you've already paid for
22:43
on the new sites you don't need to do anything and then we'll just uh
22:47
incentivize changing overpayment platforms because honestly the one we're
22:51
on right now is terrible super terrible and you should be on the new one but
22:55
we're gonna like try to have some incentives so that you want to be on the new one too um and there's yeah there's
23:00
there's there's definitely more stuff to do on the site but um that's sort of how it will look no
23:07
like crazy major changes outside of that
23:10
um oh
23:14
oh you're not streaming this okay no no i'm not sure i was like all right we're showing that okay well i was kind of
23:19
thinking why not i mean we can we can show we can show how alpha it is hey
23:23
kyle do you think we should show them the alphaness of the cms
23:27
the elvenist sorry my vocabularies
23:30
alpha beta alpha beta okay
23:34
we're gonna do it yes yes the answer is yes a thousand times yes we're gonna do
23:37
it okay everyone oh should i show the settings page too do it uh sure yeah
23:42
so this is the setting none of the other tabs work yeah unavailable
23:47
subscriptions unavailable notifications well
23:51
nothing privacy well this is super private oh yeah it is yeah
23:55
tons of security literally all the security through obscurity that's what that is
23:59
um this is what like it's pretty hilarious it's pretty hilarious
24:04
yeah all right so here's where you would like
24:09
here's where you put in the description totally non-functional but it will eventually and then over here it's like
24:13
it was like yes this is the this is exactly this is a bug yeah this is so
24:18
this is a bug this is a video that i was trying to upload like yesterday and uh
24:23
no it's stuck here no it's just stuck and i can't you can't actually do it
24:27
well the schedule change thing isn't isn't supposed to work right now yeah i know
24:44
oh well there's no reply you can edit them but you can't save any
24:48
of your chat you can save the changes on changing the
24:51
thumbnail so you know some things are there hey oh there's a
24:56
save button so look look i'm not i'm not giving you it's
24:59
only been up for like a day i'm not i'm not giving you
25:06
the point of this i haven't slept in weeks
25:11
look there's been some really good development that has happened okay
25:15
okay no there is actually so most of the work over the last year has been back
25:21
end work there's been a well infrastructure there's been a lot of
25:24
infrastructure work that's happened because guys like we are all about that back end
25:30
so check this out this should be a much more impressive demo this is kyle's uh
25:35
gtx 1070 ti video click what's cracking
25:38
people whoa did you see how fast that's going well today's video is going to be
25:42
very haphazardly thrown together because i'm short on time what else is new time
25:45
i know so apologies in advance for that but i still think the data that you're
25:49
going to be seeing today is going to excite how that's going to go down dude
25:54
um i just want to check with you yeah okay negatory okay that's good that's
25:58
good um by the way i love your profile
26:02
picture it it is literally the best screenshot
26:06
of me on the internet
26:10
i think brandon actually tweeted me he's like this is by far the best video clip
26:14
that you will ever produce in your life okay thanks thanks
26:19
for the stars anymore
26:24
now you just need to get like multiple versions of like alcohol things and have
26:28
all of them hit you in the eye at the same time
26:32
uh paul and i did a uh iron contest for awesome hardware
26:36
recently one of my personal favorites is actually
26:40
on my store right now is uh it's like sort of like a cartoon a cartoonized or
26:44
animated version of of that screenshot and it says beware of bottlenecks
26:49
oh that's that's pretty good that's not bad
26:52
that's not bad huh
26:56
i wouldn't buy one but if you sent it to me for free i might consider wearing it
27:01
how about that yeah you should but you should wear it because i feel
27:04
self-conscious wearing a shirt with my face on
27:08
awkward oh man
27:12
so anyway there you guys go i'm gonna go ahead and i'll link the store one more
27:16
time um here i'll link specifically the join
27:19
bit with ultra one uh go check it out
27:22
uh so you're doing one week early access and i think you had also promised uh
27:27
streaming even though luke and i were
27:31
pretty clear that streaming doesn't work yet um but that's the last thing that i
27:35
think luke wants to update you on live
27:38
what what you guys have been doing some testing yeah so yeah uh yeah well we've
27:44
we've done we've done some testing yeah it's been going okay there's still a lot
27:48
of work that needs to be done we're gonna be working on it tonight my little after party stream is gonna be streamed
27:52
to twitch and our own infrastructure
27:56
which is crazy um and we're gonna see how that goes and do some stress testing
28:00
aj was doing testing from like uploading to a server in
28:05
quebec and then having that
28:08
go over to the eu and then watching that stream off of an
28:13
eu edge server that was like actually doing pretty well
28:17
uh we need to get multi-resolution working we need to get a live chat uh we
28:21
need connected accounts working so that people can use their accounts to
28:24
actually talk in the live chat there's a bunch of work that still needs to be done but um yeah it's coming along
28:32
cool sounds promising all right do you guys
28:36
want to do some actual tech news i mean this was tech and it was news
28:41
tech news all right so this was originally posted
28:44
by max settings on the forum and the original article is this youtube video
28:50
from NVIDIA so everyone has to be quiet! for a second here because i think the
28:54
audience actually has sound off my laptop this week so one moment here
29:15
um it was red and green yeah so it's probably RGB
29:19
oh yeah no no it's not NVIDIA is not releasing a
29:23
red graphics card um
29:27
so they released a teaser this morning for the new titan x collectors edition
29:31
no mention of specs it does look like a new
29:35
cooler design with more lighting with a green light clearly eliminating the
29:39
vapor chamber and heatsink fin array lighting may be customizable because in
29:43
a couple frames there's a second glowing red graphics card and it also seems like
29:47
the fan could stick out from the frame with its own acrylic element
29:52
the scuttlebutt is that they could announce it at ces 2018
29:56
um considering it has a scheduled keynote at the show
30:00
i actually doubt they would tease it two months ahead of time it must be coming sooner than that
30:04
yeah i don't know kyle does the world need another titan um no i
30:10
maybe someone's gonna argue for i i don't
30:13
think we need one so what we have the titan x
30:17
the titan x pascal the titan
30:20
xp and the titan x collector's edition
30:25
like i think it's stupid but i also don't care like if someone wants to buy
30:28
it sure go ahead i don't know wait is it any is it going to perform
30:33
any different no one knows okay
30:36
it might it might just be like an upgraded shroud
30:39
i mean it is possible it could just be an RGB it's possible that this is volta based
30:45
wait oh it says titan x not titan xp though
30:52
yeah but like i think doesn't have the p yeah
30:56
oh yeah you're right 13 second video
31:00
uh looks like the lighting could be customizable
31:04
yeah there's we don't really know anything about it like it is it is
31:07
possible that this could be volta based i mean NVIDIA has had obviously working
31:11
volta hardware for months now and just because AMD hasn't given them any
31:16
compelling reason to release a better product within the price segments where
31:20
they compete with them um
31:25
here's the real question Linus is the lighting RGB
31:30
it looks like it might be theoretically yeah but but i don't see how that's the
31:33
real question i'm trying to talk about well no the architecture here that might
31:37
matter a lot see the thing is i don't know if people care about architecture
31:40
anymore as long as you've got lighting there's there's two fans for a hundred dollars that are
31:45
selling what really yeah thank you two fan
31:49
package hundred dollars what time is that
31:52
the light loops are a hundred dollars for two fans
31:55
i actually didn't know that two 140 millimeter fans of course you get the
31:59
lighter node pro or whatever the lighting node pro
32:02
which okay makes you do pretty effects and stuff but it's
32:06
still two fans for a hundred dollars i bought it like last week and did a
32:11
video on on Floatplane you bought it
32:15
it's a good video it's on Floatplane yeah he did it yeah does Corsair not like you
32:20
no they do it was i wasn't planning to do any coverage on it and then impromptu
32:24
i was like i need a video idea i'm not planned out like fine
32:29
so i was like i don't want to wait for Corsair to ship it and stuff so i'll
32:33
just buy it and pick it up the same day or whatever from new egg and did you get
32:36
some sticker shock there uh some what did you i mean did you did
32:41
you know it was gonna be a hundred dollars before you were like oh cool
32:44
i did and i thought that's what made it an interesting video because it was two
32:49
fans for a hundred dollars check them out and what's the deal it is genuinely
32:53
really good video i'm not to lie i'm not going to say why i did this but i've
32:57
seen it like six times or seven times
33:01
from beginning to end i don't think i've watched it once
33:04
i can probably quote your video
33:07
i spent a benjamin wow see
33:12
see confirmed here i got you confirmed
33:16
freaking brilliant i mean i don't know if you guys like saw the uh
33:21
that it's kind of old now but like the tempered glass RGB video was like a
33:26
stupid sketch that i did a while back yeah i actually did see that one yeah
33:29
it's like it's funny because it's it's like one of those like it's funny because true but also kind of sad
33:34
because it's true type of thing have i have played up the the RGB
33:40
enthusiasm and all that like i've had a lot of fun with it and i've played both
33:45
sides of the character i've played the the one who tries to build the anti-RGB
33:51
computer by literally painting an entire computer including the components black
33:55
i remember that one killing the motherboard in the process not a popular
33:58
video not a fine moment for the channel um
34:01
all the way to building the ultimate RGB pc including me wearing RGB shoes for
34:07
the build like we've we've gone to both ends of the spectrum here
34:11
and um pun intended i have to i have to
34:14
confess though that i like RGB like
34:18
in the sense that like i think it's cute and i think it's cool yeah but i have a
34:24
Corsair k70 RGB like their first RGB
34:27
keyboard um on my desk at home
34:31
and the thing about that particular RGB keyboard is that it defaults back to its
34:35
red except for white on wasd and the arrows color scheme every time you like
34:40
unplug it or like don't install the driver or whatever so there were a
34:44
couple times where i like bothered to set it up yeah and then i got tired of
34:48
it and for well over a year it's been read with white wasd because i just
34:53
can't be arsed well i feel like i feel like with keyboards it's a little different
34:57
because there's literally like over a hundred
35:00
little things that you can configure and customize right it's like it's like
35:05
sensory overload but i feel like if it's just more
35:08
straightforward it's like okay here's a headset or a motherboard you're not
35:12
going to have that many variations of what you can really do with it and most
35:15
people like you like you said like most people are gonna set it and forget it right like okay i like this profile i'm
35:20
gonna keep it just set it this way and it's it's that way for like the next 18
35:24
months or whatever it is so
35:28
i don't know but but at the same time like i've gotten spoiled by RGB like i
35:31
think i realized i really i don't know why everyone thinks it's me because i
35:34
had the first generation of the k70 RGB as well yeah and i was like this is
35:39
stupid i'm not going to pay x amount for just having this lighting and it can
35:44
change colors and stuff this is dumb and then like the more updated like the next
35:48
generation came out and i was like wow like the lighting's so much brighter
35:52
and it looks so much better i'm like why doesn't my stupid first generation board
35:58
right vibrant RGB lighting and i was like oh my god oh my god i like RGB
36:02
lighting so you went like i'm not caring to carry so much that you want premium
36:06
RGB like i went the other way like intellectually i know it's dumb and
36:10
gimmicky and stupid but like my eyes are just like give me more
36:15
it's like high porn you know the funny thing is like i think the pc enthusiast
36:19
takes a lot of flack for caring about RGB lighting but then for some reason
36:25
actually no we do make fun of car enthusiasts for their big spoilers never
36:28
mind okay forget it spoilers are just silly
36:32
the point that the point the point i was trying to make died before
36:38
i i was so excited for argentina rotting flesh
36:41
wow um back when like the ducky RGB was
36:44
coming ducky shine yeah yeah i was so excited and then like we got some in at
36:49
work i got to see the Corsair one early at ces and all this kind of stuff and
36:53
right when i saw it i was like oh
36:56
i don't know if i care and then have never cared my personal keyboard at home
37:00
doesn't even have lights i'm just like nope and even if it did i
37:04
have keycaps that cover them and i would not swap out my keycaps because i prefer
37:08
my pbt ninja printed gold key caps way over any lighter there's
37:13
such a door absolutely i feel like it's also one of those things where like if i didn't have
37:19
if i had like a keyboard that didn't have RGB i prefer it to have zero
37:23
lighting whatsoever it i think it's just when you give me
37:26
one option that's when i want more but if you just
37:29
give me no options and it's not lit up at all then i'll be like oh it's
37:33
perfectly fine but if you give me a keyboard that's just like oh you can
37:36
only be red for i'm like well why not green green
37:40
what the [ __ ] man why not red and green like christmas is almost here i love
37:44
what you call these greens like one of those bumper stickers on my
37:48
keyboard yeah speaking of green uh this
37:52
next topic so we'll do one more topic then we'll do our sponsors and then you
37:55
can bail if you want or you can sit through the sponsors if you're not too
37:58
bored by them um speaking of green the razer phone
38:02
officially announced um scrappy z dog posted on the forum kyle have you seen
38:06
this have you heard about this razer phone uh what yeah
38:10
phone for gamers it's for gamers totally totes i've watched for gamers watch
38:15
austin's video on it and i think i watched uh mkbhd's yep
38:21
so i don't watch anyone else's video but yeah
38:24
all right so thoughts hit me okay actually you
38:27
know what luke you look like you have something to say you look like you want to go first
38:33
people complain on this show that i never let you talk you look like you
38:36
need to talk right now what do you have to say about this so i was just going to say like what are people playing on it
38:41
because the first thing that jumped to my mind was like oh clash of clans and
38:44
you don't need a gaming phone to play clash of clans but then also right after
38:48
i said that like come on now you don't need this you need eight gigs to like
38:52
build a castle in 18 months like no it's fine um but then i was at twitchcon the
38:59
entire time that i was at twitchcon the like biggest most ridiculous booth was
39:02
lineage 2 which blew my freaking mind because i played that like before wow
39:07
came out and i'm like why are you two yeah
39:10
what the heck exactly like that game from way before i i just
39:16
assumed you were talking about something else entirely no
39:19
but it's called like ascension or something and it's a mobile game and
39:23
it's like arena combat i have no idea how all of this came together but it was
39:27
i mean it was an mmo i know i don't all i saw was arena combat it
39:32
might have just been the pvp portion of the mmo i'm not sure but it's called
39:35
lineage two and then something and it's this crazy phone game and there's
39:38
graphics all over the place and stuff so maybe people
39:41
that like decide that they need to play a pvp mmo on their phone
39:49
and like if they're targeting the right audience yeah no i know that's the thing and if
39:53
they're targeting the right audience apparently this lineage 2 game is like
39:57
top grossing in south korea and japan
40:00
wow and like they had day 9 on stage the entire event and had conan o'brien up on
40:05
stage with him at one point in time like at twitchcon live on stage
40:11
so they got money conan o'brien he's like still relevant too like that must
40:16
have been a million dollars yeah but a lot of money remember there's
40:20
a difference between okay so i love day night well you know how
40:23
much clash of clans brings in every day yeah
40:26
yeah like wow yeah like that was that's a weekend the
40:32
second i noticed that day nine was on stage all the time i was like that's
40:36
really expensive and then out of nowhere on i think saturday conan's just
40:40
up on stage with them and i'm like that's i don't care at all yeah cause
40:44
like here's the thing like internet famous people have like
40:48
appearance fees like i'm not gonna i'm not gonna lie like if if someone is like
40:52
yeah we really really need you to be there i'm like well like i have to travel i'm away from home
40:57
i'm away from the office i'm not working videos like i yeah i'm working so they
41:02
cost money but like my understanding is
41:05
that for like a slash b list celebrities like conan's
41:09
a big deal who are relevant like just to like talk is like a million
41:14
bucks okay yeah potentially really yes i don't
41:18
know either way just like have a steel booth and it was weird because you watch
41:22
you're at this booth and everyone's extremely soon that they can't see me
41:26
everyone's extremely seriously up on stage like game face this whole team
41:30
versus that whole team on their phones and i'm like what what the what
41:35
what is this so like apparently there's a market for it
41:39
okay and razer's from where uh singapore
41:42
yeah so they're pretty close to where that game is grossing really highly so
41:45
yep okay so why don't we run i'll run
41:49
through the quick specs and then let's hear your thoughts kyle um 5.7 inch
41:52
1440p um sharp display
41:57
uh 120 hertz that's a big deal like obviously i'm not going to poo-poo
42:01
them about that because i made a a huge deal of the ip of the latest ipad pro
42:06
having a 120 hertz variable refresh rate display
42:10
um huge deal big fan i love it i love this move some
42:15
people in my uh stream chat when i was talking about this while they were doing
42:19
it were like oh that's stupid because 120 hertz is just a waste of battery uh
42:23
no it's variable refresh rate so it refreshes when it needs to so you could
42:27
turn it down you could save the power or you could turn it up you could have a butter smooth experience and i expected
42:32
games it'll try to crank up and then you're like the home screen yep it's not
42:36
going to love this movie exactly and then and the battery's pretty massive
42:40
isn't like 1000 milliamps or something four thousand million power battery so
42:43
they're saying seven hours of gaming continuously eight gigs of RAM 64 gig
42:47
storage with expansion uh stereo front-facing speakers with dolby atmos
42:51
though i'm not especially convinced that dolby atmos
42:55
has a ton of value when you have a stereo speaker configuration i'm not
42:58
sure snapdragon 835 and they're saying because of their cooling it's the best
43:02
performing snapdragon 835 on the market how thick is the phone it's it's not
43:07
thin but it's not like a completely ridiculous brick either it's not that
43:11
it's not that far off what i would consider reasonable no
43:15
120 mil 700 bucks
43:19
no headphone jack okay kyle go headphone jack yay or nay
43:24
breaker honestly it's it's it's one of those things where
43:28
i have just like every phone that i've ever had even like super crappy
43:33
headphone jack so psychologically it weirds me out to think about using a
43:38
phone daily that doesn't have one but when i think about it realistically in
43:42
the last like six to 12 months with my google pixel first generation
43:47
like i have probably used that jack once
43:51
so really logistically
43:56
and that's why it's a never-ending discussion is because it really just boils down to the end you
44:01
are you someone who uses a wired head like wired headphones or earbuds with
44:05
your phone you know um and i typically don't you
44:09
know i when i listen to music i am either on my desktop and i've got you
44:12
know my my cans there or i'm in the car and
44:16
um and i'm using bluetooth so for me
44:20
it's it's one of those things that i could live without it's nice to have
44:24
but it's not necessary for me personally but i
44:27
completely understand how some people value that sort of thing especially like
44:30
you know when you get onto the audiophile spectrum and you know you're
44:34
having uh phones like the like what's lg's latest one with the d30 back in it
44:39
yep yeah the v30 so i mean yeah i get it i get it you know pushing it forward and
44:43
stuff like that but for me personally i it's something that i could do without
44:47
assuming that the rest of the phone is exactly what i'm looking for
44:52
especially with certain mobile gaming titles coming out with like voice chat
44:56
and stuff built in yep like the the need to be on headphones
45:01
actually sounds pretty major and i know
45:05
there's a big battery but they're talking about a gaming phone i know they say seven hours that's going to go down
45:10
yeah if you're using a bluetooth headset that goes down yeah and that's going to
45:13
go down over usage of the phone as well and the more you load it up with stuff
45:17
you add voice chat in that's more things that need to be processed like i'm using
45:20
my headphone jack right now yeah to listen to you kyle
45:25
so you might say that i'm not really that's a really better off that's a really sad argument it's a really sad
45:30
case wow wow
45:33
but it's it's one of those things where you're really not going to care much or
45:38
you're going to be like desperately in need of it there's i feel like there's zero gray
45:42
area here with that said i have i have
45:46
gotten used to not having a headphone jack mostly
45:50
because i've been working on my pixel 2 review uh i was working on my review of
45:54
the iphone 8 and the 8 plus um there's at least one other yeah i was working on
45:58
my review of the xiaomi mi mix 2 and these are all phones that don't have
46:02
headphone jacks and i'm just used to now carrying around
46:06
this weird stupid multi-dongle adapter thing that i built
46:10
myself so that i just have something on hand at all
46:14
times shut up i didn't know you strapped it all together
46:17
yeah because this way you like made your own multi cable so i can run this one
46:22
through here and then the whole oh wow
46:25
oh wow actually this was not my idea this was uh this came with the
46:31
moto uh z force okay and i liberated it and then i
46:36
included i came up with the idea of putting multiple adapters on it so
46:39
that's all that i contributed to this i tried to find one to buy because i was
46:44
like i should get some spares of these yeah and i couldn't i don't even know
46:47
what to search for in amazon yeah like the dongle the dongle holder dongle
46:53
holder headphone adapter pro waterproof
46:57
we should do it as like an LTT merch item yeah that'd be cool just like get
47:01
like 5 000 of them may be like yep yeah we invented this like kyle's fidget
47:04
spinner we invented this out of motorola's included accessories did you
47:08
really do a fidget spinner i did you're a monster
47:12
they sold those didn't they yeah yeah so well
47:15
yeah and but you know what i i haven't replenished them as soon as they sold
47:20
out that was that was the only stock because that's literally about how long
47:23
that yeah that would have been pretty risky
47:27
yeah oh yeah all right so there you go razer phone
47:32
um i had a lot of people i don't know hold up i don't know where people are getting this from there's some people in
47:36
chat being like this is so annoying they said it's not a gaming phone no we didn't we didn't say it's not a gaming
47:40
phone oh i thought they were saying razer said it's not a game it's only a gaming phone that's totally a gaming
47:44
phone who said it's not a gaming phone i don't know where the chat sort of got that from it's a gaming phone yeah it's
47:49
a gaming phone everyone agrees it's a gaming phone yeah we don't know why it's
47:52
a gaming phone other than the high refresh rate display and that razer said it is it's got some
47:57
RAM yeah battery yeah but it doesn't have like okay this
48:01
is the okay i find razer very frustrating sometimes um and this is not because
48:06
they didn't send me a phone and they did send some to other tech youtubers that's
48:09
not why i'm upset um i did have a call with them about
48:13
that so we definitely talked about it but
48:16
yeah it's all good not salty but i did blow up their facility yeah which is why
48:21
i'm not salty anymore oh apparently they're upset because they called it a
48:24
phone for gamers not a gaming phone uh
48:27
wow i don't care okay so the problem with with so razor
48:32
frustrates me sometimes because they do this stuff they're like and it has the
48:36
most amazing battery the best battery
48:40
the biggest battery my friend's in the flagship that's an amazing
48:43
amazing battery and he really did sound like that a triumph did you watch the
48:47
keynote amazing wait did i watch what the uh the tremendous battery basement
48:52
no i did not watch the keynote okay it's it's pretty uh it's pretty amazing it's
48:57
tremendous it's the best um anyway the point is
49:00
they're just like and then they show how big the battery
49:04
is and it's 4 000 milliamp hours and i was like uh okay you do realize that the
49:08
galaxy s8 active is arguably a flagship phone because it's a galaxy s8
49:14
oh and by the way it has a 4 000 milliamp hour battery so yes while
49:18
technically you do have oh and also it ignores the
49:22
mate 10 so that's a whole other thing um but you could make the argument that if
49:26
they're not competing in the same markets then it's the biggest in a
49:29
flagship phone no no there's no way there's no way to defend
49:32
um so there was so there was a lot of embellishment and razer does tend to do
49:37
these things i actually have a bit coming in my upcoming review of the
49:41
razer blade 4k um where there were three things in
49:45
their reviewer's guide that were either that ranged from misleading to outright
49:49
false um and i'm just sitting here going what are
49:53
you guys even doing um it's good do your job there's a lot
49:57
of companies that do look it up there's a lot of come on yeah i was just i was
50:01
finding it particularly cringe-worthy during the year it's frustrating during
50:05
this stream the other day um apparently the p2 has a 5100 milliamp
50:10
hour battery so so there's that you know what though i don't want to take
50:14
anything away from them about the front-facing speakers and the 120 hertz
50:18
display both of those are very cool both of those things make it enough of a
50:22
gaming phone that i'm not going to razz them too hard
50:26
yeah i agree i think the refresh rate i mean there's there's so much emphasis
50:31
on pixel pushing like we have the highest resolution phone
50:36
ever no we have the highest price and like everyone forgets about refresh rate
50:40
so it's kind of cool to see a company like razer who's always been sort of
50:43
more gamer centric to come in and be like look res pixel count isn't the only
50:47
thing that matters you noobs and you know actually do something about it so
50:50
that's cool it did drive i do appreciate that it did drive me pretty crazy when
50:54
they were talking about how this was the first mobile device with a variable
50:58
refresh rate 120hz display because the last time i checked the ipad pro is
51:02
technically not a phone but it's definitely a mobile device
51:08
everything's mobile device if you try hard enough that's true uh
51:11
technically a desktop is a mobile device if you if you're willing to
51:16
sort of put the saddlebags on the pony
51:20
you should do a tech quick it's a mobile yeah oh lordy well people in chat are
51:25
asking what is a gaming phone i think a 120 hertz phone is a gaming phone right
51:29
now yeah i think that's fair yeah yeah it's got extra RAM it's got extra
51:33
battery life it's got a nice screen forward-facing speaker so you can sit
51:36
there and play your thing sure i mean i i can see why people are upset about no
51:40
uh headphone jack on a gaming phone also razer's camera looks pretty trash they
51:46
just want you to be really obnoxious on the train from the demo shots
51:49
and they didn't really okay i did tune out of the stream before it was
51:52
completely over but they didn't really talk about the front-facing camera at all during the like
51:57
the may the meat of the announcement not a selfie that bad huh um but well i
52:02
don't know maybe it's great but i would expect a gaming phone to have a great
52:07
front-facing camera
52:10
wow yeah streaming yeah streaming yeah for streaming yeah yeah i would expect
52:14
the front-facing camera to be like as good as the rear shooter if you're gonna
52:18
say yep this is like the gaming phone yeah
52:21
so we'll see that makes sense um all right so we have to do our
52:25
sponsors now so kyle did you want to peace out i know we've kept you an hour
52:29
and a half after when you said you had to go or do you want to hang around yeah
52:32
guys as much as i enjoyed all right probably going to have to bow out all
52:36
right so uh one last time guys kyle is now
52:41
available on flow plane it's the best the best Floatplane the
52:46
best Floatplane it's the greatest it's insane this Floatplane
52:50
insane i mean at being a plane that can float
52:55
it's pretty bad but being a website that streams things i mean it also doesn't
52:59
exist yeah it's not but at serving video through a forum we're doing pretty good
53:04
yeah yeah so uh you can head over
53:07
well yeah you can head over there it's uh so you're aiming for one week Windows on
53:12
your content saw one week early access is that correct
53:15
that is true so there you go guys go check it out bit
53:18
with ultra and uh you can see the video that we were talking about earlier the
53:22
best rg the best RGB fans on the market
53:25
the best what's going on guys welcome back to the channel
53:29
today um it's a good video it's a good video and i i will say i enjoyed your
53:33
testing as well it was good oh thanks luke yeah see this is why i
53:38
like him do you see that buffering do you see how fast that video is buffering okay
53:42
arguably we're on 360p yeah so yeah i did mention that earlier i'm cheating a
53:46
little bit i'm cheating a little bit even better
53:50
still still come on come on baby look at that responsive player look at that
53:54
responsive
54:02
all right and i will start pimping our sponsors for the win show today all
54:06
right see you kyle bye guys thanks bye
54:12
all right so number one
54:16
is synergy oh my goodness can you believe how late
54:21
it is i'm sorry you can leave two if you want that's so late no i will stay
54:25
synergy is the solution to your problem of having multiple computers with
54:30
multiple keyboards and mice and not wanting to do that anymore
54:34
yeah you don't need that anymore this this is terrible oh i know though that
54:38
th those headphones i mean they're they're like
54:41
they literally are like the communal bicycle except yeah the communal
54:45
monitors they're pretty og i'm gonna take them back to the room like those are pretty those are pretty used they've
54:49
been around for a long time yeah um synergy lets you use one keyboard and
54:54
mouse across multiple computers you just literally drag your mouse across the
54:58
screens after you configure synergy and you just kind of say where all of your
55:01
displays are and boom you're using a different computer and the keyboard
55:05
works with that one now you can even drag and drop files you can copy paste
55:09
um the pro version includes encryption for the data that's passed between the
55:13
computers and in my opinion the coolest thing about
55:17
synergy is that it is cross-platform Windows mac and Linux
55:24
so whether you have like a gaming box and a separate dev box or whether you
55:29
uh you know run apps that are only available on mac my
55:33
biggest have ones that are only available on Windows my biggest thing
55:36
every time is if you have a laptop for work a lot of people do that these days
55:40
you have laptop for work you take it home you just plunk her down
55:44
turn it on you're already done yep pretty cool so it all runs over the
55:49
network and you guys can head over to seamless s-y-n-l-e-s-s dot com synergy
55:54
when two and you can save fifty percent
55:58
on synergy today that's some serious discount that is some serious discount

linusmediagroup.com has been down in the last four years and we've tried to like
56:48
intentionally bring it down oh yeah we've tried to zerg rush it by being like okay everyone on lan show go hit it
56:52

56:57
it actually usually is like okay i'm good yeah yeah
57:03

57:18
modules built in like commerce which actually now includes extra information
57:23
it's not in my it's not in my notes here but actually the commerce module has
57:26
been upgraded uh so the commerce module now includes oh we have to pull that up
57:30
is that a squarespace site that someone built uh no oh okay never mind yeah
57:34
should we control this wrong no we shouldn't no okay there's a new reason

57:53
who is actually giving away three different models
57:57
three models of their desktop z box mini
58:01
pcs so they're giving this is zotac and wow this is awesome they're giving away
58:06
one pi225 so this guy is fanless so zero noise two
58:11
usb 3 ports uh wireless ac an Intel n3350 processor i believe
58:17
that's quad core and four gigs of lpddr3
58:20
memory so super compact fanless machine i was going to say one of the really
58:23
guys of a two and a half inch SSD yeah one of the really cool things about this
58:28
thing is it's so freaking tiny this is i believe the successor to the
58:34
one that i used when i was trying to do the uh build a pc in a fridge project
58:40
oh really yeah remember that super tiny one that they had that was kind of plasticky this one looks a lot nicer
58:45
actually it's really sharp
58:48
it kind of looks in a slightly nostalgic way it kind of looks like a
58:53
like i don't know it's like a battery bank or like it looks like a lot of different things to be fair this looks
58:57
like a like it doesn't look like it at all but like a 3.5 inch floppy with the
59:01
like sliding thing on top i see your point i see where you're coming from
59:05
like no but also sort of they're giving away an mi 553 so this guy's higher
59:10
performance a core i5 7300 hq quad core
59:14
it's got it's ready for octane memory it's got Thunderbolt 3 so you could even
59:17
hook up an external GPU to it at some point if the prices ever come down on
59:20
those and basically this would be like a very
59:25
portable pretty slick little low power workstation and finally they are also
59:29
giving away a zbox 1070k dash u
59:33
so this guy is available in a gtx 1060 or 1070 configuration and has a core i5
59:39
7500t processor so that's a quad core processor this one the one that we're
59:44
giving away for that one comes with the gtx 1070 but it's a bare bone so you're
59:49
gonna need to add your own drive and RAM so the giveaway will be running for two
59:52
weeks from today and the link is actually
59:58
i'm gonna post that in the twitch chat and we're gonna have it below the archived video on youtube so go check
60:03
that out guys go join the parte
60:08
boom all right
60:12
this was a week where we actually had a lot of tech news to cover and then just
60:15
didn't um so should we try and go through some of this stuff do you want to talk about blizzard um i mean i'm
60:20
down i don't actually have a ton to say surprisingly
60:23
um okay so supposed to buy genres on the forum the original articles from pc
60:27
gamer i can keep it kind of short there's a lot of places that
60:30
this was trending on twitter which just shows how many people are actually into
60:34
it i think that's actually kind of cool um there's a huge amount of gaming news
60:37
articles that all announce this at like the same time uh i believe yeah this one
60:41
actually had some details from blizzard's vice president which was kind
60:44
of cool they are bringing back classic servers this is a commitment to do it
60:49
this is not a it's coming now um they've
60:52
asked for people to be patient i'm kind of suspecting it's going to be like a
60:55
year it's going to take time because while some of what they said about why they
60:59
couldn't do it sounded like bs there are legitimately
61:04
probably some things that will have to be revealed they're hiring a staff
61:07
specific specifically for this which is one problem they're going to run into is
61:12
trying to find people um that and they're trying to make it so the staff
61:15
is all passionate about this project right so they're trying to find very
61:19
specific people i'm sure there's tons of them but they're gonna have to vet them and all that kind of stuff
61:23
they are changing certain things they're they're they're not making it so
61:27
this cross server you will be on one server which is very cool that was one
61:31
thing people are really worried about there's no looking for group there's no looking for raid both of those were very
61:36
important to people but they will be changing some things i wouldn't be
61:39
surprised if there's like achievements and you can like buy certain pets and
61:44
like some of the some micro transactions yeah 2017 stuff yeah maybe you can buy a
61:50
certain mount that's like from the store only like they do in the modern games i
61:54
have no idea but i wouldn't be surprised if there's some micro transaction things
61:57
going on but i don't think it'll be anything major i really hope they don't
62:01
add a character boost i don't think they will i think it'll be okay um but who
62:06
knows yeah no date it's gonna be awesome i'm definitely gonna be on it a lot of
62:10
people i know are gonna be on it which is gonna be cool uh if you wanna come
62:14
play with me i'm super down let's do it up
62:17
that's all i really have to say cool yeah i'm very happy that they
62:21
actually did it
62:25
let me have a look and see if uh actually some of this stuff we can watch
62:29
the yeah i don't know
62:32
um it's at the top of the thing if you want to watch it i kind of wanted to talk
62:37
about this posted by aluminium tech on the forum original article from the
62:40
verge um apple fired the engineer whose daughter's hands-on
62:45
video of the iphone 10 went viral
62:50
um when she published it
62:55
um a lot published early yeah
63:00
oh yeah and a lot of people are siding with
63:04
the engineer here basically what went down was
63:07
she published a vlog that included a trip to the apple campus to visit her
63:10
dad and see an unreleased iphone 10.
63:14
uh the video was quickly picked up by sites like nine to five mac and spread
63:17
even further on youtube um this so her dad basically violated a company rule by
63:21
allowing her to film the unreleased handset as filming on apple's campuses
63:26
is strictly prohibited the video included footage of an iphone
63:30
10 with special employee only qr codes a
63:33
notes app was also shown on the iphone 10 in the video which appeared to
63:37
include code names of unreleased apple products
63:40
wow so a lot of people are kind of defending the engineer
63:46
and that is super dumb yeah basically yeah
63:50
this was literally in
63:54
okay i haven't personally read an apple engineer employee agreement because i'm
63:57
not an engineer and i don't think i'm sure this is a huge deal within it but
64:02
like yeah that's really bad take this from someone who has never worked at
64:07
apple and probably will never work at apple i know
64:11
that this would get me fired from apple
64:14
it is not rocket surgery to figure out how secretive apple is and
64:20
how seriously they would take something like this and even if they didn't want
64:25
to do it they would have no choice
64:29
they are completely backed into a corner on something like this if the whole
64:33
thing had been quiet and the video hadn't gone viral and they had like seen
64:37
him doing it been like whoa yo remember you're not supposed to film here
64:41
that wouldn't have been fireable probably if they could have just kind of
64:45
gone okay we all dodged a bullet there but the fact that this went viral the
64:50
fact that it was his daughter so they knew exactly who it was everyone in the
64:55
company would see this and go oh well if he can do it then
65:00
hashtag yolo who cares i can do it too
65:03
apple is so secretive and the development time on a project that apple
65:08
would release whether it's an iphone 10 or an apple tv or who knows maybe it's
65:12
the apple car whatever it is could be anywhere from six months to 12 months to
65:18
24 months to 36 months a company like that is working on tech that you won't
65:23
see for years and they have to take that kind of thing
65:26
seriously because you look at how quickly their competitors will try to
65:31
clone what they're doing with the level of secrecy that they've
65:35
achieved and now imagine if their competitors knew that that was the
65:39
direction apple was going you know a year or two years or three years in
65:42
advance they cannot afford that that is apple's entire value as a you know
65:47
whatever however many billions of dollars of con that they're worth
65:52
that's apple's value is that they are
65:55
for better whether you agree or not that they're innovators that they are trend
66:00
setters that they are forward thinkers because the iphone itself as just
66:06
a piece of cellular communications hardware is not that special i think we
66:11
can all agree on that
66:14
and they just they had no choice sorry
66:17
people are saying in the chat that he didn't know uh unfortunately it doesn't
66:21
actually matter no one cares yeah no it doesn't matter and and like someone in
66:25
the comments on the official post from i believe it was the verge was saying like
66:30
oh this might be really good for them actually because some other company will just pick them up not necessarily that's
66:36
a that's a big mark on your name in that industry like uh
66:39
microsoft has fired people for this before and nintendo has fired people for
66:43
this before i believe sony has fired people for this before
66:46
probably whether we hear about it or not the fact that it's apple and it's the
66:49
iphone 10 is probably the only reason that we're hearing about it nintendo
66:52
fired not only one parent but both
66:56
really yeah and one of them had like super nothing to do with it they're just
67:00
like nope your family but that's nintendo yeah
67:04
and nintendo's also very vicious about these types of nda banks and they always
67:08
have been
67:12
in other news broadcom to acquire qualcomm
67:16
i actually had no idea that broadcom was that big they should rename to comcom
67:22
you don't like broadcall
67:28
oh my gosh uh people apparently line up for the iphone 10 so while um a lot of
67:33
analysts were super concerned about the fact that no
67:38
one seemed that amped on the iphone 8 uh
67:41
bloomberg has this fantastic little uh chart in their article on this
67:46
where they show lineups and i don't oh
67:51
there we go lineups for iphones i don't know how exactly they measured this number of
67:56
people lining up in the mornings yeah what whatever anyway it kind of makes
68:00
sense this kind of makes sense that plus
68:03
and c would have had big lines because all of a sudden there was a cheap iphone
68:07
which was kind of neat i guess um iphone 4 was sort of a big deal yeah
68:12
it was um iphone 6 6 plus was a huge
68:15
deal and then like nothing's really changed since then
68:19
um and then iphone 10
68:22
showing that even though the iphone 8 8 plus was literally the least exciting
68:27
iphone of all time uh the iphone 10 is
68:30
right back up there with the five even if it's not up there with the four the
68:33
5s 5c and the six and six but then again the four and the six and six plus were
68:38
were freaking huge yep so there you go maybe apple's not going
68:42
out of business yet after all i don't know um
68:47
what else we got going on here razor phone let's see you know what i'm
68:52
done okay great show great show today everyone thank you for tuning in we'll
68:56
see you again next week same bat time same bat channel bye
69:01
boop i feel bad for james when we only cover
69:04
like a third of his topic and this was a really good dock too yeah it was
69:08
actually an excellent doc of any week to not cover
69:12
topics this was the wrong one because there was actually a lot of really good topics yeah i know we i could have
69:16
talked about AMD epic getting 64 cores yeah i don't think we talked about it at
69:20
all NVIDIA's ai faces which were like amazing which were like actually kind of
69:23
cool so tech synergy
69:27
but you know if people wanted tech news would they really tune into the land
