day one patches for True or day zero patch yeah like day
0:05
negative one patch that's possible yeah it could yeah that's they patch the
0:10
preload so you preload it and then you have to patch the preload that you
0:14
preloaded before before you can actually play it yeah but that's better than
0:17
having you patch it after the game is out because that's true then you have
0:22
time to download we should promote negative day patches negative day
0:26
patches are the way forward in the gaming industry
0:30
maybe that's how uh these like games that always stay in beta work they're
0:35
just like we don't want to make a day zero patch or like a monthin patch so
0:39
it's the Google philosophy yeah yeah
0:42
negative day patches yep we are uh we
0:46
are extremely happy with this idea so
0:50
welcome to the WAN Show it's Friday which means you guys have got all kinds
0:55
of important plans I don't know who was
0:58
being more annoying just then you or me I'm implying they have no lives and
1:01
you're singing that terrible Rebecca Black song I was going to vote for me
1:04
you going to vote for you I think even having someone tell you that your life
1:09
is terrible is probably more bearable I didn't say terrible I just said that
1:12
you're watching us on a Friday night honestly I think that's pretty all right
1:17
yeah we're not that bad I'm not that bad what would you do on a Friday night uh
1:20
apparently the mic's a little low I don't know you know what I did a
1:23
pre-recording and I think it's fine what would you do on a Friday night um well
1:28
on Friday nights I play play badminton I play video
1:33
games so yep so it's probably fine that
1:37
you're watching this show are you going to change it okay people are insisting
1:40
that I turn it up a little bit are you are you watching the stream I'm watching
1:44
yeah people you don't have headphones to no I
1:47
don't okay fine I guess I'll do it I
1:51
even did a pre-recording though this is the thing I don't understand what is
1:54
with everyone hello testing 1 2 3 4 I
1:57
don't know if lanus is listening to this or not
2:00
it's fine I have the show it's it's fine
2:04
I know but I have to talk so you can hear us talk in the thing oh well no I
2:07
was just going to like carry on with the show and make adjustments as we go oh
2:13
um someone's like this isn't free geek that was last week rhyme rhyme rhyme
2:18
rhyme rhyme rhyme rhyme rhyme rhyme rhyme
2:21
rhyme um most people are saying that it's good but one person said that it's
2:26
too loud so I'm pretty sure we should adjust it okay cool all right so let's
2:31
go ahead and uh kick things off here so the YouTube's Fine Brothers
2:36
entertainment will
2:39
allow fans to create their own React
2:43
videos so I guess the thing that confused a lot of people about this news
2:49
is that they weren't aware that at any
2:52
point they um were not allowed to make
2:56
their own React videos so I'm going to go ahead and post this puppy in the uh
3:00
in the chat here I'm going to go ahead and screen share with y'all so basically
3:06
the reason that we're talking about this is just to kind of help clarify exactly
3:11
what went down here so everyone probably who has been on the internet at some
3:16
point is somewhat familiar with the Fine
3:19
Brothers series uh react Series so kids
3:23
react old people react pets react whatever anything can anything that can
3:28
react lithium reacts I don't know anything that can react to anything
3:31
lithium reacts I don't think they've done a video on that I I suspect they
3:34
haven't I'd actually I'd watch that lithium reacts to that would actually be
3:38
kind of a funny parody where you just you could have like lithium reacts to
3:42
dog poo and so you just cut back and forth between just like a static shot of
3:46
dog poo and then like lithium likeing out in
3:52
water um so basically what they're doing
3:57
is they are licensing their in ual property to be clear that is not and
4:04
they do not believe that that is the
4:08
react classification of videos that is not
4:13
what they are licensing anyone and they' they've released a statement even to
4:18
quote we do not own the idea or copyright for reaction videos overall
4:22
nor do we nor did we ever say that we did you don't need anyone's permission
4:26
to make these kind of videos and we're not coming after anyone yes so what they
4:31
are licensing is actually the the format
4:35
of the show something that you can somewhat protect that's a little funky
4:39
it's a little fuzzy but they're licensing the format of the show they're actually licensing like the the assets
4:44
that are used in the creation of the show so they will actually give you like
4:49
a kit of materials to basically
4:52
reproduce exactly the same bloody thing they were they're going to give you the
4:55
formula and all the tools that you need and the idea behind it is localization
5:01
not just like you know putting not just
5:05
like asking anyone who's making a reaction video for money so that is yeah
5:11
yeah I I saw that I was going to get through this topic first and then I was
5:14
going to deal with it sounds good yeah we we will roll the intro everyone just
5:18
calm your jets cool your cool your jets calm your um thighs uh so minor
5:25
basically react and then react World this is another channel that they're
5:28
planning to Launch will aggregate videos in one place um that are created by this
5:34
wider community of lenses and So Fine
5:38
Brothers entertainment wants to monetize the react Style videos through its own
5:42
channels there um rather than having the content appear on unaffiliated Outlets
5:47
so yeah there you go licensing to
5:51
creators worldwide 11 of their shows and trademarks in the franchise and
5:57
um yeah there I get there I guess
6:01
there's not really much else to say about it intellectual Protection Law is very very
6:08
to see how aggressive they're going to be about things and they've said they're not they've said they're not issuing
6:12
strikes they're not stealing people's monetizations or anything like that um
6:17
and I have to see it's probably going to be fine well I think they probably can't
6:21
quite frankly I mean for me to issue a copyright strike on someone they have to
6:26
rip content directly out of my video
6:30
they they they can't just like have a sound effect that sounds kind of similar
6:33
and a flow to the episode that's kind of similar I mean if you could if you could
6:38
like trademark you know beautiful b-roll
6:42
of phones then none of us would be allowed to compete with Marcus like I I
6:46
before I knew enough I almost tweeted a thing being like Hey we're not the Fine
6:50
Brothers make some build log videos it'll be funny and then I was like I
6:54
should probably read more about this yeah and yeah it ended up being fine
6:58
someone's asking what the heck happened to lonus between the Intel thing and now
7:03
I did my hair I did a very poor job of it it's like you almost went for a
7:07
fauxhawk but like I failed so it ends up just looking like I'm balding more than
7:12
I am see you got kind of the like kind of are you Bolding a little yeah I mean
7:17
you get older and your hairline recedes sorry bro mine's fine it'll come for you
7:21
too you're younger than me my my grandpa on my mom's side has wonderful hair so
7:26
I'm probably okay nice my grandpa on my mom's side was bald by the time he was
7:29
out of high school school so you're probably screwed well I'm not screwed
7:32
yet so I'm saying it's not necessarily an indication not necessarily an
7:36
indication he's old I'm
7:40
29 which is old enough that you're allowed to have your hairline recede a
7:44
little bit but also also old enough that
7:48
if you were like really going to get hit really hard and you haven't yet then
7:52
it's probably going to happen slowly one one of my really good buddies from high
7:56
school had his hairline just um but went with the like all right
8:00
whatever I'll build a full beard and went bald with a full beard actually
8:04
looks way better I do not have that option nope so if I end up going like
8:09
bald bald I'm just going to be bck on top bck on bottom and bck on the other
8:14
bottom let's roll the intro
8:37
sorry sorry I'll move those things in a second here wait we only have one
8:41
sponsor today linda.com
8:46
linda.com wow we have only one sponsor today they can teach you how to film
8:51
things and how to take photos and how to edit
8:55
them Lightroom and after effects and
8:58
photo shop and Premiere what is taking why is this
9:03
taking so long YouTube's like oh my God
9:07
everyone's uploading react to the Fine Bros videos we can't process Everything
9:11
at Once that's what's happening right now
9:15
the amount of react to the Fine Bros videos that are out there is
9:18
insane I am blown away by how slow
9:21
YouTube's processing has been between YouTube and vessel
9:26
like they just they need to they need to put their heads together okay YouTube
9:31
needs to figure out vessel's processing cuz it's fast and vessel needs to figure
9:36
out YouTube's down link because it is
9:40
fast like we can upload like one gig videos like bam like they're up in like
9:46
20 seconds and then it's
9:52
like like I'm uploading a one minute video it's going to take 9 minutes to
9:56
process you have to be freaking kidding me that's
10:00
crazy and the worst part is I think I interrupted the one that I tried before
10:05
thinking that it had completely locked up at
10:08
69%
10:11
and oh apparently it's still it's still processing it wants another two minutes
10:16
what did I upload maybe I uploaded the wrong video maybe it's like last
10:20
week's and we're just going to we're just going to have two we're live and
10:24
then it's just a whole W from FY we're live in the
10:30
past that could be fun that could work
10:33
all right so let's move of a time machine that goes forward we made one
10:36
where you no we didn't I could make a time machine that goes forward it's
10:40
called a cardboard
10:45
box you just fall asleep in the cardboard box and open it up and you're
10:48
like wow we're in the future yeah it's a
10:52
cardboard box with like lots of like crazy syringes full of like all kinds of
10:56
fluids
10:59
what happened to the last 20 years of my
11:02
life sorry dude you spent them in this cardboard box all right uh this was
11:06
posted by CP Jer uh on the Forum Colton
11:10
Potter Jer uh no I don't think it was Colton Potter y Jer he would have to
11:14
learn how to use copy paste just kidding he knows how to use
11:19
copy paste so many people jumped to Colton's defense last week when I was
11:25
really trying to pay a a positive
11:28
statement forward to him about the
11:31
unexpectedly high quality of the WAN Show document um and people were all
11:36
like yo lonus was mean he was all like
11:40
you know if it was meant to be a compliment you'd know and didn't you
11:44
guys know that it was a compliment apparently
11:47
not I mean like so he's getting like
11:51
inundated with tweets about how you know
11:54
I'm I'm mean and a bad person maybe that was your whole idea yeah you were trying
11:58
to blow up his Twitter you are so astute
12:01
sometimes it's
12:10
surprising oh wow that just that just oh
12:13
man that just lined up so beautifully no but it was a compliment wasn't it yeah
12:17
definitely that's like that's like you're holding you're like you know
12:21
you're holding a pool noodle and someone just kind of walks up and is
12:25
like and you just have to you have to give me a little like
12:29
slap on the slap on the cheeks I don't know if that's okay on Twitch I have no
12:35
idea I think wait no it's okay cuz there's that one freaking chick that
12:38
does it for donations she'll drop something on the ground behind her and
12:42
pick it up for donations for donations yeah because it's like okay cuz she's
12:47
not like showing cleavage or whatever I so you can show your butt crack but not
12:51
cleavage no but she wears pants Oh but they're just really tight but it's just
12:55
like look at the bum I see ridiculous I
12:59
wonder if I could get donations for that
13:03
maybe butt donations butt Don I don't
13:07
want your
13:11
butt okay what's the next topic I am trying to load the page it is not doing
13:16
next topic is that the US Supreme Court May rule cosplay illegal now to be clear
13:23
um here I'm just going to post the original link here to be clear the
13:27
Supreme Court has bigger fish to fry
13:30
than cosplayers this would be an unintended side effect of a larger legal
13:36
battle that is going on between a cheerleading outfit maker here we go the
13:41
article has finally loaded here between a cheerleading outfit maker and I
13:45
believe another cheerleading uniform maker here we go so the parties to the
13:49
case star athletica and varsity Brands both design cheerleading uniforms
13:53
Varsity claims that major portions of their designs are entitled to copyright
13:57
protection while star athletica presumably the one that is uh that is
14:01
said to be infringing the aforementioned copyrights uh points out and is backed
14:06
by a long line of case law that clothing designs are explicitly exempt from
14:10
copyright their arguments rest on different interpretation of a legal
14:14
concept known as separability so what does this have to do with cosplay okay
14:18
well we'll hold on we're getting to that basically the way that it works now is
14:23
that clothing maker clothes store actually because this is this is where
14:26
it comes up a lot clothes store X Y or
14:30
can take some designer like famous
14:33
design design and pretty much clone it
14:37
because the way that it is now a functional piece cannot be subject to
14:43
copyright whereas a creative work can be
14:47
subject to copyright so that's why you cannot copyright a sheet of paper but
14:52
you can copyright the art that you draw on it okay so the argument here being
14:59
made by star athletica would be that a
15:03
cheerleading uniform is functional it covers up the cheerleaders tatas um or
15:09
doesn't in some cases whereas Varsity
15:12
Brands is making the argument
15:15
that um well no there is an Artful
15:20
aspect to a cheerleading uniform or to any other article of clothing whether it
15:25
be so if you took that piece of paper and cut it in a certain
15:29
way yes pretty much they're saying that
15:33
that this line that exists between utility and and
15:38
creativity um is blurry but that their
15:42
uniforms are on the we've created art side and actually this article on public
15:46
know.org is excellent because it does a really good job of illustrating this
15:51
with a lamp and a lamp obviously they both have the same
15:56
base function that is to say
15:59
illumination into the room yes whereas
16:02
or space this one is clearly not subject to any copyright because every part of
16:07
it is pure function it's made of a freaking dowel and a thicker dowel um
16:12
whereas this one is clearly more artistic and then this one doesn't
16:18
really have much function at all I mean we don't even know how bright this bulb
16:21
is it's it's clearly all about the the The Artful statement of the lady wearing
16:26
whatever these are are those panty hoes
16:30
can't tell the difference between py and nylons I don't know what they
16:34
are some kind of cing on the leg last
16:37
people to ask about yeah totally not my
16:40
department um so like literally at the
16:43
store we work at neither of us work in that section so the sort of the how Co
16:48
cosplayers get kind of stuck in the crossfire here is that they could
16:53
potentially be burned by copyright laws
16:57
that consider the Recreation of another
17:00
article of clothing if it is deemed as art um for the sake of dressing up as
17:06
their favorite characters now to be very clear I don't expect any but the most
17:13
Draconian of companies to enforce something like this Disney um like
17:20
Nintendo um uh but okay and like the thing is Captain the the logo for some
17:25
of these guys like the star on the shield for Captain America is probably
17:29
under some form of yes definitely and people use that all the time people use
17:33
that all the time so they're already doing these things you're probably okay so I'm not really expecting anyone to do
17:38
it but where the water gets really murky
17:42
and the article says cosplayers but I think they kind of missed the boat on
17:45
this this last point that I'm going to make here and that is that the odds of
17:50
anyone enforcing this on someone who shows up to watch the force awakens in a
17:54
kylo ren mask is zero I don't think
17:58
think Disney's going after that guy the odds of them going after someone whose
18:03
entire profession is becoming an
18:07
Instagram influencer who posts pictures of themsel wearing someone else's
18:12
intellectual property where someone is
18:15
turning it around and turning it into monetary gain for themselves personally
18:20
without sharing any of the proceeds that's where I see this turning into a
18:24
big problem and we ran into that at that Pax party that the guy tried to throw
18:28
with the Nintendo themed like Pokemon themed I think it was I think so party
18:33
where he was charging admission now the admission in that case was and this is
18:37
all according to the guy anyway only to cover the cost of the venue and throwing
18:42
the party itself but that did not stop Nintendo from saying yo you cannot
18:48
profit off of our intellectual property so people who cosplay as a hobby out of
18:53
passion are very unlikely to be affected I mean there's a huge difference between
18:58
doing something because you want to get money for it and doing something because
19:01
you enjoy it and find it kind of fun and
19:04
want to go to the force awakens opening and a kylo redm whereas people who are
19:09
professional cosplayers who show up at gaming events dressed up according to
19:14
the requests of their followers or whatever else where they're making a
19:17
business out of it this could be a huge
19:22
deal interesting I kind of get that that's
19:26
going to get interesting and there's a lot of people that do that as well y
19:30
like like that's turning into like a serious industry actually oh yeah like
19:33
professional cosplaying not as much for guys I don't think um I mean this here
19:39
okay I mean you walk down the strip in Vegas how many Batman people do you
19:47
encounter again it's like yeah I don't
19:50
think it's as much of a thing for guys but it is still definitely a thing for guys oh it's definitely a thing for guys
19:55
but I think that it's um in terms of
19:58
like being an Instagram model who is predominantly a cosplayer I haven't seen
20:03
a ton of dudes doing it no they they're do I I have seen like at least one but
20:09
but compared to like the female ones that seem to be crawling out of the
20:13
woodwork it's like if you leave them in the fridge for too long they'll actually
20:16
replicate on a petri dish like yeah
20:20
there's lots of them yeah um this is interesting so this was
20:25
posted by aluminum Tech on the Forum alum inum Tech so presumably an American
20:31
yeah um Cortana now scans your emails to make
20:36
sure you're keeping promises did you know there's apparently like scientific
20:40
reasons as to why it should be aluminium yeah it has to do with the EM
20:44
at the end it has to do with the relation to other metals that are also
20:48
called inium yeah yeah anyways YOLO
20:53
continuing onwards so this is fascinating now to be
20:57
clear this is like ah this is about as
21:00
clickbait as it gets um because the
21:03
title I don't know if you've said the title yet but the title is Cortana Now
21:07
scan uh scans your emails to make sure you're keeping promises I know but some
21:10
people listen to the audio version oh that's right this is a podcast yeah well
21:14
sometimes I we never tell people about and not enough people do it cuz so many
21:18
people are like oh uh I would love it if you guys made audio versions of the W
21:22
show and I'm like it's literally linked
21:25
under every single YouTube version of The W show they're down there so yeah if
21:30
you didn't know that we even we even speaking of copyright we even allow it
21:35
to be downloaded if you go on Soundcloud so like normally on YouTube if you
21:39
wanted to download and watch offline you would have to have YouTube read um or
21:44
you could obviously download it um using a third- party I don't know like I don't
21:50
know the name of them yeah they're not yeah I don't
21:54
um okay anyway they're out there so you could obviously do that or you could
21:58
just go on to SoundCloud where we actually have downloads of the podcast
22:02
straight up enabled um pre-optimized with its own you know stuff things and I
22:07
think like if you're title it's the same
22:10
title just repackaged if you're the Radeon
22:18
r9390 okay um if you have like some
22:21
podcast application that you like on your phone it's probably there as well
22:25
so yeah really yeah oh is it that thing Colton's doing yeah oh cool where it
22:30
like distributes it out to a bunch of things cool um yeah so it it like is a
22:34
thing we do have an audio version of the podcast right that's why I read things
22:37
out so this is a very clickbaity um
22:40
clickbaity headline and what it's actually doing is really cool and not
22:45
creepy at all um so yeah on January 25th
22:49
2016 which was 4 days ago Windows insiders got access to a new commitment
22:54
option in Cortana for Windows 10 and the
22:58
commitments are actually really similar to Features Cortana just wants to make
23:02
sure that you're going to be with her later on in life thank you guys that don't commit
23:08
these days are just it's just it's just annoying in the dating scene
23:12
okay she just wants to know that you're going to be there for her when she's not
23:16
as pretty She'll always be pretty she's a computer program literally in the lore
23:22
and in real life she is a computer
23:25
program good call all right so a degrade
23:29
or whatever it's called cuz that's actually in the lore bit Rod that
23:33
literally happens to AIS they they start to like it's bad and then they that's
23:37
part of the whole storyline of Halo 5 anyways I thank you for the spoiler wor
23:42
cuz I've only played yeah is there a PC version of
23:45
Halo 5 no okay well then I'm not going to play exactly uh okay so although they
23:49
might I don't know it's a little old now it's very similar to the flight and
23:53
delivery tracking that already exists in Cortana so she'll remind you like hey yo
23:58
you know you've got a delivery coming and stuff um so it's designed to read
24:02
through your emails and pick up on commitments that you've made so if you
24:06
say something like I'll get back to you next week Cortana will actually create a
24:10
reminder around that be like yo you said you'd get back to that person this week
24:15
um you can disa but the reason it's not creepy is all of the scanning is
24:19
completed locally so this program is just installed on your computer runs on
24:24
your computer you can disable it if you don't want it which is fine not on by
24:29
default I'm not sure I mean right now it's not on for anyone cuz only Windows
24:33
insiders are getting it but uh basically yeah it's I don't know I think I think
24:38
this is really cool like finding more ways to make to make Windows smarter and
24:42
more predictive is definitely good especially if they're going to keep it
24:46
out of the cloud now obviously if you confirm that you want that appointment
24:50
made it's going to add it to your calendar which is cloud synced so you
24:54
know don't don't be dumb like if you know you don't want something on your
24:58
calendar about how you told your you know second girlfriend that you're going
25:02
to meet up with her at Starbucks then you should probably a not be such a SLE
25:07
ball and be umh noide chicks yeah keep
25:10
that out of your calendar so you know you can take whichever of those tips you
25:15
prefer one thing that I found that is actually kind of interesting reading this article I'm not saying that I
25:19
support the idea or don't support the idea but uh swift key oh hold on hold on
25:24
Twitch chat uh apparently it's really cool signed Windows and deider there you
25:29
gool good to know um swift key yes swift key people freak out understandably when
25:35
something new is going to read through all their email people didn't like that about Gmail people don't like that about
25:39
this people don't like that about whatever Y and then they sign up for swift key and they're like yes please
25:45
read all of my email to figure out my exact typing patterns no one complains
25:49
about that my one complaint about that is that swift key Cloud does not work on
25:54
iOS wrecked yeah so it only uses its
25:58
it's stock prediction and then I think it can learn but I don't think it can
26:02
carry that to like a new iOS device like it's it it sucks rough it like swift key
26:07
on iOS is terrible which is weird cuz usually it's the other way around and iOS is constantly changing its own
26:12
keyboard back in as the default right yeah so yeah there I guess
26:19
I don't not Swifty swift key it's an application on your phone yep unless you
26:24
have an iPhone in which case you probably just shouldn't install it yeah uh all right J Keller moves to Tesla as
26:30
the vice president of autopilot Hardware
26:33
engineering freaking cool so the
26:38
original article here is from electric.co and this was originally
26:41
posted on the Forum by vanard vanad
26:45
vanad Gaming so let's go ahead and pull this baby up are you posting the link
26:49
I'm working on it awesome so the chip Guru who built Apple's ax
26:54
microprocessors really they're not gonna they're not GNA like call out that he
26:59
also built the aonics to really is the PC that dead
27:04
electric.co wrecked kind of okay so uh
27:07
who built Apple's ax microprocessors joins Tesla to lead the autopilot
27:12
Hardware engineering team now to be clear you should not expect anything to
27:17
come out of this appointment in the next two years no to design presumably mostly
27:24
from scratch a new way of processing
27:28
camera and sensor information for autopilot cars is going to be a very
27:33
large project probably just the sort that Mr Keller would love to wrap his
27:38
magnificent brain around so this explains then why he fell off the map
27:43
and left AMD a couple of months back um
27:47
apparently he got a much much cooler gig
27:50
I mean as as as excited as I am to see what AMD's Zen architecture which he did
27:56
work on brings to the table um I am more
27:59
excited these days about a car that like
28:02
is legit awesome and revolutionary and drives itself than I am about my PC
28:07
going a little bit faster so I'm very excited to see one of the brightest
28:10
Minds in chip design Focus his attention on that although it would be super great
28:16
if Zen and their new graphics cards were
28:19
faster than Intel's stuff and NVIDIA
28:22
stuff I would love to have I would love to believe that but I have been as as a
28:28
former like I straight up with you guys I was an AMD Fanboy AMD Fanboy was an a
28:34
fanboy and probably AMD yeah was I was both was like like I was like rocking
28:39
the uh let me think what was that I had this like freaking like UV green vinyl
28:45
decal on the inside of my p160 w that
28:49
was like a ripoff of the Intel logo except it said AMD inside and I had like
28:53
UV lights and it glowed green and I was like I was like hardcore but they have
28:58
disappointed me so many times that I just not going to uh I'm just not going
29:03
to get my hopes up and then if Zen is amazing I really hope it is then I get
29:07
to be that much more excited that's cool Polaris I have a lot of Hope for I mean
29:11
I don't know how it's necessarily going to compare to what was in vide Pascal
29:15
yeah I think Polaris and Pascal that's the ones that are coming out um but
29:20
they're both likely to knock our socks
29:23
off in a way that a GPU release hasn't done in quite some time freaking better
29:27
yay die shink yeah
29:31
um anyways that's cool and hopefully
29:34
Tesla uses him well yeah I'm I'm super
29:38
super excited to see whatever whatever happens here Barnacle has actually just
29:43
messaged me and said that he had a chance to check out uh Tesla's autopilot
29:47
on the p85d uh he said it was scary but really
29:51
cool so there you go guys I'm not surprised it was scary yeah that would
29:55
trip me out so hard like
29:59
just like I drive the most manually
30:04
operated vehicle on the road pretty much
30:08
even my Windows are not automatic like the only thing that could make it more
30:12
manual is if there was a crank to like turn the fan for my Cooling and heat
30:17
like it's does your heat work yeah my heat works but I don't have a airon so
30:21
so it's like pretty Bare Bones pretty Bare Bones my friends so going from like
30:27
that level of connection with the machine to like hands off is going to
30:31
sketch me out hardcore no matter how much I inherently trust
30:35
it I think I'm going to be one of the first people to be like sure drive me to
30:41
work cool oh I'll be exciting about it
30:44
or exci exting I'm always exciting you know what's up uh I'll be excited about
30:49
it but it's going to trip me out too I mean yeah like other little things other
30:53
other little things too is like I am not an ins ific amount older
30:59
than you and have been driving for not an insignificant amount longer than you
31:03
and on top of that I guarantee you that the mileage that I have on the road is
31:09
probably 5x like I used to daily commute
31:12
from Maple Ridge almost mission to UBC and I've if at all possible been a biker
31:18
yes so like yeah maybe a little bit more
31:21
probably like 10x like I have a lot of
31:25
miles on the road but then I come from the standpoint where I already right now
31:29
frustrated that like my car can't just
31:32
inch itself yeah within a lane like when
31:36
there's very clearly defined lines I'm just like okay like can you just do this
31:41
car so I can like go on my phone or something and then when the lanes are
31:45
really sketchy I'm like all right I get this yeah all right I'll control that
31:48
I'm like I think the first level where it's like sometimes it's okay like
31:52
highways and stuff I would have zero problem with it all mhm the when you're
31:56
going through sketchy areas and it's going to try to figure that out that's when I'm going to be like I would
32:01
probably really like to just be turning the wheel right now when there's like all the like you know people on the
32:06
street people everywhere Pooles and stuff like that yeah that'll be a little
32:11
scary yeah I don't know Old Dogs new tricks
32:16
man I don't know even if the new trick is sit do
32:21
nothing it's hard uh all right so the original poster
32:25
here was Mr troll the original article here is from Digi times.com and while
32:30
this normally wouldn't necessarily qualify as like a super amazing okay the
32:36
digi Times article is only available to their paid subscribers so I guess we'll
32:41
head over to wccf Tech sweet sweet uh
32:45
the reason that this is significant is that these guys came out of
32:50
nowhere isus does that ASUS and like
32:54
I've talked about this on this show before they they release some crappy
33:00
product that sucks and then they're like
33:03
okay what did we learn and then they fix it everything
33:07
yeah then they release one that's okay and then they kind of go okay we
33:12
learned a bit more then over the next couple of iterations they completely
33:17
dominate the category they hold 40% market share of gaming monitors and you
33:22
know what the incumbents have themselves
33:25
to blame for this I was just yeah they
33:29
let they let freaking Ben Q walk in and
33:33
eat their lunch they let ASUS what did ASUS know about making a
33:39
monitor five years ago they let ASUS
33:43
walk in and eat their lunch and they're still doing it I mean
33:50
I love the guys at LG as much as anyone like I've got my Bros over there and all
33:54
that stuff we love working with those guys but wake up and smell the coffee
34:00
your 60 HZ 34 in Ultra wide this year is
34:05
60 HZ I know that you made some changes I
34:10
think it has free sync don't quote me on that I think it has free sync that is
34:15
not enough acers um XR something C
34:20
whatever something um that's that's a
34:24
free sync model okay that's been out for like months at this point point the G
34:29
the Predator x34 yeah X3 super annoying
34:34
yeah I know um you even close it I don't even know how to close it yeah what the
34:38
hell uh so can I just not is it is it
34:41
okay for them to cover up Google ads with their own freaking stupid ad that I
34:45
don't think you can close I don't know like that's real classy
34:49
wccf I'm sure the people pay any Those ads are super stoked right now x34
34:54
Predator 100 htz 3440 X 1440 even
34:58
Samsung who's like last year at CES not
35:01
CS 2016 CES 2015 I think it was they were showing off a curved ultrawide and
35:06
I was like yo what can you tell me about this the guy's like it's 34 in it's
35:10
curved and I'm like like refresh rate he's like sorry
35:17
we don't have that information so like that's the level of care at Samsung and
35:21
even Samsung is talking up their upcoming 34 in Ultra wide at 100 144
35:28
Hertz so the incumbents have ignored
35:32
this for far too long they've let someone like ASUS who doesn't even make
35:37
panels and when you're auo or your LG or
35:41
your Samsung there is really no excuse when you have the costing and
35:45
Engineering advantage of actually building the freaking panels there is no
35:50
excuse for letting someone like ASUS walk in and take over a market like that
35:56
someone said please stop making game wers that look like male chicken if
35:59
you're talking about turkeys and you're talking about red because of their things you can turn off the lights dude
36:03
yeah you can turn off the lights on the RG Swift in fact you can turn off the lights on the um on the Predator as well
36:09
like it has it has RGB underglow effects which you can turn on or off it's
36:13
totally up to you so turn off the lights bro yeah I actually think if anything
36:16
gaming monitors have gotten a lot more taste looks do you remember the Acer
36:21
Predator um do you remember when everyone put gloss on everything hold on
36:25
I'm going to see if I can find the old predator cuz that thing was banan there it is not
36:31
okay not that's what gaming monitors used to look like oh
36:35
God e not to call out Gigabyte I was
36:39
there at their booth at CES and the guy was showing me one of their new bricks
36:42
and he was asking what I thought about it mincs yeah it had a a matte finish
36:48
and I was like oh cool I'm happy you guys went with a matte finish and he was
36:52
like what I was like yeah I'm happy you
36:55
guys didn't use glossy plastic and he's like because I was like it's not
36:58
aluminum it's not like absolutely beautiful but it's matte which is great
37:02
I'm happy you didn't use glossy plastic and he's like why doesn't it look better
37:06
I was like no and he's like oh I was worried
37:10
we did the wrong thing going with Matt instead of glossy I'm like dude you
37:15
accidentally did the right thing like don't put glossy on anything come on
37:21
he's like oh wow I haven't heard of that before I was like how how have you not
37:25
heard of that before anyways yeah do we
37:28
just need to make like a like a manufacturer best practices video I
37:32
think so it seems like like like just rules
37:36
like no gloss don't use gloss on things
37:39
yeah that seems like the kind of thing we should do cuz like every the gloss is
37:44
like for some reason underg glass and not touchable by the user ever yes so
37:49
like it will always look the same then like like the glass the glass coated
37:53
bezel on a monitor like this where it has an edgo edge uh sheet of glass even
37:58
though the actual panel doesn't go right to the edge and then yeah totally fine
38:02
or the um some some some phones have
38:06
like the like old going all the way back to the iPhone 4 iPhone 4 has that the
38:10
back panel is is glossy but covered in glass which is at least easy to clean I
38:14
Honestly though I think everything should have this finish oh God that nice
38:18
textured looks like the truck bed kind of pwder coat black powder coat like
38:23
wrinkled black is is the ultimate finish
38:26
yeah um apparently ASUS has also a 34 in
38:29
3440 X 1440 coming soon with a refresh
38:32
rate of up to 100 Hertz and g-sync speculated price above
38:37
$1,200 so that would be a competitor for the Predator x34 $2,000 Canadian dollar
38:42
yeah 2,000 Canadian dollars holy
38:47
crap yeah and then we became poor yep
38:51
anyways speaking of becoming poor why don't we talk about our sponsor for the
38:54
show today yay so that doesn't happen if
38:58
you want to avoid becoming poor some one
39:02
of the strategies that you could employ is learning new skills on linda.com
39:07
whether that's just like Excel or or or
39:11
word you could do stuff on to excel using word oh damn uh I made a
39:16
PowerPoint word on that or and then he
39:19
photoshopped the images that went into the PowerPoint uh I only I only Photoshop at
39:25
the dollar store cuz for frames are cheaper
39:28
whoa that was a little rough but it made sense um so yeah whether you have new
39:34
financial goals whether you need to find a work life balance or whether you just
39:38
want to be able to like find things easily in the tutorial because sometimes
39:42
you get distracted a lot also known as constantly and sometimes you have to go
39:46
back to the same point in the video like six times so you can actually remember
39:50
what the guy said uh it makes it easy because you can search the whole script
39:53
which is searchable and you can download the whole video and you can have your own notes and you can do all that kind
39:57
of stuff linda.com PL start at $25 a month head over to linda.com wow and get
40:02
a 10day free trial yeah 10day free trial all you can eat yeah through your
40:07
internet connection so because that's food all you can go until your data cap
40:11
I guess yeah pretty much uh all right so let's move on to
40:17
our next topic here my friends yes oh I
40:21
am excited about this the timing for this is wonderful NVIDIA launches the
40:26
lowend GeForce gt710 graphics card it is based on the
40:33
Kepler GK 208 GPU and aimed at lowcost
40:38
PCS so it's apparently aimed at lowprofile platforms such as htpc and
40:43
media boxes that don't have onboard graphics for some
40:49
reason I mean seriously has there been an onboard Graphics solution that hasn't
40:53
handled at least DVD decoding like Hardware accelerated H2 64 coding in
40:58
like last four years I no I don't think so don't think so I think it's been like
41:03
a considerable amount of time what people upgrading with these I
41:09
loved that test killing the 730 with just a CPU that was actually so cool
41:14
this this and like not even the best igpu there is just yeah the sub headline
41:18
is fantastic faster than 80% of
41:21
integrated
41:25
gpus so we actually have a video that's
41:28
out on vessel already but not is it on YouTube already I think it is yeah yeah
41:32
it is it's on YouTube it's on YouTube already as well so to as a followup to
41:37
the first time that I did a video about low-end video cards being junk and that
41:42
no one should buy them uh where a surprising shocking number of people
41:47
argued this point with me um with people even going as far as to say that I am um
41:53
I am an NVIDIA Fanboy and that's why I was hating on the AMD card that we
41:56
happen to be testing your gamer mind has clouded your judgment yeah my gamer mind
42:01
cannot conceive of a use for a video output device that is not a video game
42:07
gaming card uh like any number of things and I think Luke basically took all of
42:13
the toprated comments that criticized my original video none of which was wrong
42:18
there was absolutely no new point that we had to make about this so Luke
42:23
basically just took all those comments and teabag them
42:27
for like s minutes that's kind of what happened yeah and it was great because
42:34
low-end video cards are super super
42:37
super super dumb and the thing okay I
42:40
think a lot of people get really angry because they're trying to defend their
42:43
purchasing decisions and the thing that we're trying to do here is help you to
42:47
not make that mistake again in the future we're not being like you guys are
42:51
idiots we're trying to be like don't spend your money on this cuz there's
42:55
more effective ways to spend your money CU there's a lot of misinformation out
42:59
there yeah and the and and to be clear I am not down on the you know1 1999 after
43:05
rebate you know 5450 or whatever on New
43:08
Egg that's not what we're tracking that's not what we have a problem with
43:11
no we have a problem with stuff that is positioned as like a
43:15
$999.99 or like
43:18
$119.99 offering that is terrible and
43:23
one of our points is that like at that price point if that is your budget for a
43:26
graphics card we're not being like lol you're poor don't buy a graphics card
43:30
we're telling you to maybe consider other options like buying an older
43:34
tiered one or buying a used card you can get a lot of value out of buying used
43:38
cards graphics cards are actually usually pretty okay so you can get
43:43
really solid cards for that price instead of buying a new one which is
43:47
crap that you'll need to upgrade in no time at all when you realize and you
43:51
know what to be clear like I'm I'm using strong language like it's dumb that
43:56
doesn't mean that people can't make that mistake I did it straight up I did it I
44:03
bought a crappy video card I just learned a lot longer ago
44:09
learn and we're we are trying to help people so they don't have to go through
44:12
the expensive process of learning because they just watch a YouTube video
44:16
like let's say let's say for example you didn't have a lot of money then wouldn't
44:20
it be that much more devastating to waste $100 on something that turns out
44:24
to be a terrible solution I would wa rather help the dude who doesn't have
44:28
that much money spend it more effectively than help the dude that's going to be like H I'll just like ignore
44:34
this want to buy a new one I don't really care about
44:38
that yeah I don't know got someone saying GTX 750s are
44:45
ideal for watching Blu-rays I I don't think you need a
44:50
gtx750 to watch a
44:55
Blu-ray anyway I don't know what his point
44:59
is uh you know what I don't know what the point
45:04
is zamon posted this originally on the
45:07
Forum oh um okay so that's not a thing
45:13
just a second oh that's our stupid
45:16
thing um here we go we'll just have to settle
45:21
for the artist's rendering of what's coming back Circuit
45:25
City is coming back with revolutionary
45:28
new stores with revolutionary new ideas
45:32
for stores they want to appeal to
45:35
Millennials whoa wow what an innovation
45:38
Brandon's laughing over there Brandon Brandon hey what can you come up with
45:44
some new ideas for our videos okay can you make them appeal to Millennials
45:47
please okay thank you all right I want
45:51
we need more coaches I want our b-rolls to b-roll to appeal to Millennials okay
45:55
specifically only thank you just Millennials okay so anyone who's not
46:01
allergic to work we don't want them to watch our videos I am a millennial I'm
46:05
allowed to do it oh okay yeah I'm Tech I'm technically a millennial what is
46:09
Millennial like what time frame is that I think you have to be born in the hold
46:15
on hold on hold on uh yeah here we go birth years ranging from the early 1980s
46:20
to early 2000s oh okay I can I make fun
46:23
of Millennials too I am comfortably millennial
46:28
strawberries what's a strawberry it's a Chinese term what for Millennials yeah
46:34
well for like young people who bruise
46:38
easily which is where the thing comes from so it's like like easily offended
46:44
don't work all that kind of stuff okay
46:47
all right fair enough we are kind of strawberries our generation is not great
46:51
for that every one's like while the entire twitch chat's like exploding like
46:55
gas yeah okay um okay so let's uh so yeah oh
47:01
shoot I should there we go so circuit cities coming back so anyway so how are
47:06
they going to Target Millennials great question I'm glad you asked they're looking to have an Express section
47:12
selling $10 to $30 products that are replenishable via a businessto business
47:18
portal looking to put products in Sea stores bookstores hardware stores
47:24
Etc okay what uh they are also planning
47:27
to focus on categories like mobile 3D
47:31
printing and drones things that Millennials like uh I'm sure that uh
47:37
what's their face Best Buy never thought of um trying to sell mobile devices or
47:41
3D printers Best Buy Mobile would be an interesting name for that if they ever
47:45
decided to do it yeah yeah or like um or
47:48
or like the the Apple like if they had like a separate Apple section within the
47:52
Best Buy store where you could see all the latest mobile devices from Apple
47:56
that had like its own kind of table structure that looked more like an apple
48:00
yeah and and like if it also had like kind of like a like a backboard on it so
48:04
that while you were looking at the table you really felt more like you were
48:07
having like the Apple experience interesting someone at Best Buy should
48:10
come up with that and then and then like other vendors like whether it like say
48:14
say for example Microsoft yeah they could they could copy that idea and they
48:18
could have little section yeah they could have their little section could wear slightly different uniforms so they
48:22
you still know they're in employee the store oh my goodness okay okay Eva Haku
48:28
J says Best Buy Mobile exists whoa I
48:33
can't even believe that how did we not pick up on this I am blindsided by this
48:37
me too I mean the next thing they're going to tell us is that the Apple thing exists is that just cuz they react so
48:42
quickly to the show that they just did it right now did they have to go look
48:45
that up because I mean do they even have that on their
48:52
website oh you guys I love you guys okay let's move on to our uh let's move on to
48:56
next topic okay in case you care uh they're planning to they're projecting
49:02
5,000 to 10,000 locations over the next 5 years I I'm projecting all of them
49:07
close looking towards private label products to resell elsewhere I mean what
49:13
strategy is that I mean do you do you have any idea what the look on my face
49:17
was when I was a product manager at NC
49:21
and Rose will approached us about carrying their products I was just like
49:25
are you high like for people that don't know New Egg
49:30
are you high are you drunk New Egg does the Rose Wills yeah that's that's that's
49:33
new egg's Kirkland Signature you know and Kirkland Signature is Costco's
49:39
western family and we'll get there eventually yeah western family is um
49:44
shoot I can't think of any more house Brands right now dang does Home Depo
49:48
have one no I don't think so I don't think best bu they have one B&H is
49:52
impact there you go yeah oh yeah what is
49:56
best bu Best Buy has lots of rocket rocket fish is one of them that's for
50:00
like monitor stands and crap sorry DX DX
50:03
that's another one they have more yeah hey hey hey uh Future Shop what else
50:08
they got insia Insignia they made you like
50:12
TVs westing house the twitch chat is helping us now
50:16
too oh my god um so yeah best of luck
50:19
with that circuit HPS compact is that no I think that's just more of a
50:25
like brand they bought them out and then we're like okay yeah yeah poor HP who
50:31
bought Gateway yeah right that sucks it's like
50:36
yeah we see this innovative business model they've got like a cow on their uh
50:42
on their box so if you open up the box
50:45
it's like I don't think if they ever actually
50:48
did that they should have yeah all right I love this next bit of
50:54
news from RS Technica thank you so so
50:57
much FCC ignoring cable industry protest the
51:02
FCC says it will unlock the set toop box
51:07
this is all based on an investigation that they did into how the the cable box
51:14
has managed to increase in price at a
51:17
rate that outpaces other
51:20
electronics and asking themselves the critical
51:25
question when the fun fun ality hasn't changed and the cost of electronics
51:30
inherently goes down how is this
51:35
happening um so the average user pays an
51:40
annual $
51:44
23182 in rental fees which is more than it should cost to just buy the thing for
51:48
their set top box thank you Luke because the hardware in there is not worth
51:54
anything nope I mean we're talking you can buy you have to like return it when
51:59
you're done you can buy a Tegra powered
52:02
NVIDIA Shield console for less than what you would pay
52:07
in rental fees on this piece of crap in like 20 months okay and that thing is a
52:13
legitimately powerful piece of Hardware there is nothing in this thing uh okay
52:19
some of them have a hard drive I'll give you that but have you seen the price of hard drives lately pretty cheap they're
52:24
probably giving you a 500 G so the FCC is plan for a software based cardless
52:29
replacement for cable card without so without needing the card consumers would
52:34
be able to get the TV service that they already subscribed to on tablets Smart
52:40
TVs or set toop boxes so this is this is
52:43
in opposition to the plan proposed by Comcast and other TV providers that
52:48
wanted a framework that involved the cable companies building proprietary
52:53
apps for things like smart TVs apps that
52:57
you know would be garbage and would be intentionally garbage so they could push
53:01
services like watchable
53:06
y brutal thank you FCC so yeah so US
53:10
senators found in a survey of TV providers last year that lack of
53:14
competition has resulted in prices rising much faster than in other
53:17
Hardware markets said an FCC official uh this is originally posted on
53:22
the Forum by clo by the way thank goodness I wish Canada would wake up in
53:27
the same way that the FCC has over the last little bit and I don't expect the
53:30
changes to happen overnight in America and I don't expect them to happen overnight anywhere but it would be nice
53:35
to see some progress we still if the states do it usually Canada's
53:39
like okay and then does it after list no we still don't even have cable card
53:44
that's true like we straight up don't even have cards that we could plug into
53:50
a TV tuner in like a computer so that we could PVR things on our computer instead
53:54
of on the proprietary box like like it's actually
53:58
worse yay Canada go Canada I mean there's a lot of
54:02
stuff I love about Canada to be very clear I'm not like down on my country
54:05
you love their floppy heads and their beady little eyes and I love their
54:09
accents too hey buddy um so this is kind of your topic uh
54:14
originally posted by command man 7 the original article here is from fud Zilla
54:21
I would have loved if this was my topic but I wasn't able to read the doc today
54:25
oh and then walked upstairs and tried to talk to Colton about it and read the
54:29
notes that were on it and was like do
54:32
more of them and then walked
54:35
away because all that were really in the notes were that it is a Ney light field
54:41
VR headset um okay the the long and
54:45
short of it is that we are at least two to three years away from this being in a
54:50
consumer product it's something that NVIDIA is working on with Stanford
54:53
University and that it virtually apparently virtually eliminates motion
54:59
sickness by being latency
55:03
free very very cool stuff I mean VR is going to be advancing so fraking fast
55:08
yeah over the next few years here so it uses two layered displays with
55:12
back-to-back LCD panels that are separated by 5 mm to also improve the
55:19
ability to quickly refocus on objects
55:22
that are nearer or further from the viewer your eyes which is interesting
55:26
because today's VR headsets the user's eyes are more focused on the display
55:29
rather than the image which is actually a huge problem for motion sickness and
55:34
for developmental reasons people have been bringing up concerns about kids
55:39
using VR headsets because they're focusing on a display all the time and
55:44
it's not promoting uh eye development or
55:47
whatever yeah so this should make it much more natural to use and uh whether
55:53
or not that's actually a thing who knows but yeah now what's unclear at this
55:57
point in time is whether this will be an NVIDIA proprietary technology or whether
56:01
AMD will even still exist for us to have that conversation uh so the algorithm
56:06
used to compute the light field images in real time utilizes Cuda parallel
56:10
programming now with that said my understanding is that AMD can Implement
56:15
Cuda with the appropriate license which I think they have now they are going to
56:19
or have yeah so as long as NVIDIA doesn't package this up into like a a a
56:25
a gsync type of uh type of proprietary
56:29
closed door deal um then this could be
56:33
fantastic for the VR industry as a whole
56:36
whether you're running green or red team Hardware to read a lot more about it
56:40
later on but yeah I'm I'm so far two
56:45
layer pcbs backto back uh displays uh
56:50
just LCDs is what I meant to say not pcbs yeah if you put just two pcbs in
56:54
front of your eyes it they're would be no VR it could look maybe kind of cool
56:58
if they're cool pcbs speaking of pcbs I
57:02
uh I checked in with the free geek guys and I don't know if it will be feasible
57:06
for me to buy the quantity of pcbs that I would want in order to use them as
57:12
decorative items too expensive they are $3 a
57:16
pound $3 a pound that's actually pretty
57:20
expensive that would actually cost a bloody Fortune to like do up a wall with
57:24
or something I mean I might still I know I might still do it or something like
57:28
but the the thing is is that I didn't really have a clear idea of where I
57:31
wanted to put it anyway like I was kind of thinking it'd be cool to do a wall in
57:34
the Benchmark room or it'd be like cool to do a wall in my office or something
57:39
it's probably inappropriate for my office like I didn't really like I hadn't I wasn't like oh yeah we need a
57:44
PCB wall there but I just I I think this place just needs more more decoration
57:50
and more Spice in general like doing Epi Von's office really made it clear to me
57:54
that the more stuff we did like that the more homey this place is going to feel
57:59
um so I was just I don't know I was looking at the pile of them at freeek and I was like oh yeah that'd be cool
58:03
like a PCB wall cuz I've seen it done and it looks really badass it does yeah
58:08
um yeah people are asking what a pound
58:13
is yes it's about a little under half a
58:16
kilogram sorry sorry to my non-american
58:19
friends floppy disc wall that would be sick you'd have to find enough colorful
58:22
floppy discs though yeah they're out there like yellow and pink floppy
58:26
yeah man all right original article here is
58:30
from n Gadget this was posted by Alex P something or Sony creates a new company
58:35
to run everything
58:38
PlayStation so Sony interactive
58:41
entertainment combines hardware and software with PlayStation branded services and I guess the point of
58:47
spinning this off would be that it will keep PlayStation clear of the rest of
58:52
Sony's abominable balance sheet probably
58:55
um that's a pretty boring news topic but
58:59
yeah yep I think they're probably trying to dodge financial problems by moving
59:02
them off to their own thing yep okay so
59:06
there you go uh this I already talked about very briefly but the the real news
59:10
here is not necessarily that Samsung is readying the F their first 144 Hertz
59:15
3440 X 1440 Ultra wide monitor but rather the way that that technology is
59:22
going to be enabled yes my friends DisplayPort 1 3 is coming to Polaris
59:29
gpus and presumably Pascal although I don't know if that's actually confirmed
59:34
and is definitely coming to monitors near you presuming that you have enough
59:38
money to afford one of those monitors because they aren't going to be cheap no so the limitation with current 3440 X
59:44
1440 monitors the reason that they're all 60 or maximum 100 htz is that that's
59:49
all DisplayPort 1.2 can handle and that's all we have on our video cards
59:53
and on our displays right now DisplayPort 1.3 coming blazing fast 144 Herz
59:59
3440 x440 VA panels these are going to
60:03
be pretty sick it looks like these two models a 30 and a 35 in could also
60:09
feature adaptive sync like AMD free sync although it is not clear exactly which
60:13
it will be if any so that article was from tech power up and that was posted
60:17
by aim 1999 on the Forum it's funny
60:21
whenever when I read years like 1999 I'm like oh that was recent like
60:27
they must have like created their user profile in 1999 and been one of those
60:31
people that wasn't sort of farsighted enough not farsighted but wasn't um
60:36
Forward Thinking enough to use a username that doesn't like sound stupid
60:40
the year after they created it but then I realize now that 1999 is actually like
60:45
17 years ago and he was probably born in
60:53
1999 and then he felt old and maybe the
60:59
whole twitch tat did as
61:02
well all right um every time I reference anything like
61:07
that on my stream everyone's like oh my God I'm so
61:11
old iPhone 7 plus
61:15
2009 sounds like yesterday yeah it's not
61:19
there's like people from 2009 that are in like grade two that's weird um okay
61:26
so Apple's secret iPhone 7 plus camera
61:30
project revealed in The NeverEnding battle this
61:35
is the verbatim from the Forbes article
61:38
for smartphone camera Supremacy apple is
61:41
understandably Keen to maintain his position as the world's most popular
61:45
camera now according to a report from Apple Insider famously accurate KGI
61:50
analyst MinGa co co qu Co has released a note to
61:56
investors containing some exciting details about the next generation Apple
62:00
suiz Flagship handset the iPhone 7 plus
62:03
hopefully doesn't have a camera bump um so basically last April Apple
62:09
purchased camera technology company links computational Imaging limited for
62:13
20 million they acquired their technologies that enable the use of multiple cameras which can combine
62:18
outputs into a single image with claimed DSLR like
62:21
quality are we ever going to get sick of calling smartphone cameras DSLR like I
62:27
mean didn't that start with the 5S or five or something something it's
62:32
been around for a while and it has never been that like where there's been a
62:36
slide that says DSLR like it's like aoka
62:40
effect is not DSLR like necessarily there's a lot more to
62:45
anyway um so Apple has allegedly been
62:48
working on building a dual camera solution for 3 years before eventually
62:51
just purchasing links to overcome technical barriers so the report claims Apple will
62:57
Implement a pair of 12 megapixel sensors in the iPhone 7 plus which doesn't
63:01
surprise me that much cuz honestly the
63:04
camera sensor is not a huge part of the bomb clast of a camera so if anyone can
63:08
find a benefit to putting two sensors on the camera then um I don't see that
63:13
really affecting the cost much it's the technology behind actually utilizing
63:17
them that gets a little bit tricky so
63:20
one would apparently have an image stabilized wideangle lens and the other
63:24
would have a 2 to 3x telep photo lens interesting so they're not the first
63:29
company to implement a dual camera system HTC with the ever so famous 1 M8
63:34
had a dual camera system that was terrible um but given that it's Apple
63:39
maybe it won't be garbage and maybe or maybe it will be just like a lot less
63:43
garbage which is really all that it comes down to sometimes yeah um that's
63:48
very true
63:51
yeah okay so maybe not every iPhone 7
63:55
plus will have this apparently there will be two models one standard and one
63:59
with dual camera Solutions maybe although if you're buying an iPhone 7
64:03
plus I know a lot of users that like it because of the great camera so I
64:07
wouldn't be surprised if the dual camera one sold more yep uh This original
64:13
article here is from wccf Tech and was posted by aluminum Tech on the Forum and
64:17
apparently more iPhone news apparently
64:20
the iPhone 5 SE has entered mass
64:24
production a device to Target emerging market so Apple's previous strategy was
64:29
to just have like super duper lingering
64:34
models like they were still selling the iPhone 4S like super not that long ago
64:40
um but now they are kind of going okay
64:45
yeah we did that 5c thing that like kind
64:48
of sucked but maybe we were just maybe we were just taking going about it the
64:52
wrong way um
64:56
so now they are doing a dedicated a dedicated Cheapo device for emerging
65:00
markets and I mean it's Apple so Cheapo is obviously used in a somewhat tongue
65:05
and cheek fashion um we should expect to see the iPhone 5 SE and Q2 2016 you know
65:11
it feels like what Apple was good at
65:17
Simplicity is thrown away a little bit
65:20
it seems like what's happening is they are they have reached
65:25
with the phone cuz it's no secret that phone sales are not going to be able to
65:29
continue to grow at the rate that they are now there's only there's only so many people on the
65:34
planet that need a phone and there's the the the the like amount of people being
65:38
born thing which is one of the reasons why YouTube channels seem to just
65:41
consistently get Biggers there's more people in that demographic and whatnot and whatnot whatnot but you will
65:46
literally hit a wall eventually yeah and there you can't have explosive growth
65:50
like exponential growth forever you grow by two every year you eventually that's
65:54
just that just literally it can't mathematically work at some point so it
65:58
seems like apple is in it's this feels
66:02
like a desperation tactic to be perfectly honest they are abandoning what they were always so good at
66:07
Simplicity buy an iPhone this is the experience you will have selling the
66:12
experience versus selling a skew and
66:16
saying okay we need a product to Target
66:19
every different price point Apple was always well I guess elitist enough to
66:25
kind of go nope we're just going to build the best thing we can build and if you can afford it you can afford it and
66:29
if you can't then you can have what we built last year two years ago
66:33
um and it feels like that might be really annoying to a lot of people but
66:38
they were good at it that's the thing is that has never worked well I mean look
66:43
at Samsung yes they sell a lot of smartphones yes it's a very profitable
66:47
business for them but it also brings with it a lot of challenges like their
66:51
smartphones are really poorly supported like the things that Apple has done to
66:55
different app itself things like supporting the devices for longer are
66:58
going to be much more difficult if they broaden the product portfolio in this
67:02
manner um it's expected to come with an A8 processor it's expected to come with
67:06
NFC offboard for uh Apple pay and it's
67:10
apparently been dubbed and upgraded iPhone 5s in internal Apple references
67:14
so maybe it will have Touch ID
67:18
um based on the picture it's going to be like plastic and stuff so there you go
67:24
here we go there's a better look at it
67:32
um yeah yeah they've done it before
67:35
they're doing it again desperation tactics it all happened after jobs yep
67:40
and like even the naming scheme is getting confusing yeah there's a 5S a 5
67:45
C A 5 SE like what what does this all actually
67:49
mean yeah oh uh point of clarification
67:52
this is a 4in model so it's small so it's going back to the one handed size
67:58
um which I I mean and if they were just going okay yeah someone in chat okay a
68:03
bunch of people in chat unapologetically plastic unapologetically plastic thank
68:07
you thank you very much for reminding me
68:10
of that most hilarious thing like I remember sitting watching that video I
68:15
actually I remember where I was when I
68:19
watched that video and I remember sitting
68:23
there and I was like I had to rewind it
68:27
I had to rewind it and watch it again I was like the poor guy he looks like he
68:32
has a gun to his head yeah like
68:36
yeah a little brutal um oh this is this is cool this
68:42
is not news at all unless you're just kind of into whatever crazy crap lus is
68:47
going to be up to in the next little bit so I just confirmed that I'm getting one
68:51
of these and the first thing Luke's yeah
68:54
that's actually exactly he didn't really say anything he did that and then the
68:58
second thing Luke said was why yeah that was the second thing he said um not
69:03
really the point I don't even remember I was just like that's probably what I
69:09
did so this is Far and Away the baest
69:15
rig that I will have ever had my hands on yep um it can hold eight dual slot
69:22
gpus it features 1,600 Watt redundant 80
69:26
plus Platinum power supplies it can support up to 1 and2
69:30
terabytes of ECC memory uh it takes two
69:34
two uh LGA 2011 socket or 20113 socket
69:40
CPUs and I believe should be and this is
69:43
mostly across the board should be compatible with the upcoming rumored 22
69:47
core Broadwell CPUs and in addition to
69:51
the 8 PCIe I believe they are full 16x
69:56
although don't quote me on that uh it doesn't actually say what they are
70:00
electrically so they're either 16x or 8X each in addition to no they couldn't be
70:05
16x each they must be 8X each in addition to those it actually gets
70:09
another three expansion slots for like
70:12
raid cards or whatever else so or or even just like hbas so I actually have a
70:17
24 Port HBA this is where it gets really bananas the front supports 24 2 and 1/2
70:23
in drives in addition to the 8 gpus so I
70:26
am planning to actually combine the functionality of two of our Mega servers
70:32
into just this one yep actually like two and a half two
70:38
and a half of our powerful machines will all be running off of just this one in
70:42
an upcoming project also I have a really cool plan to do kind of like a
70:47
DIY like um like NVIDIA grid thing where
70:51
I'm going to use this machine to support eight concurrent like steam in home
70:55
streaming or NVIDIA game stream streams
70:58
all on the network because it also features dual 10 gbit Lan so it'll be
71:03
able to support that throughput with like like without even breaking a sweat
71:07
yeah well steam is rolling out 100 gigabit
71:11
Lan don't make me come over
71:15
there I would that would actually be kind of neat just as like a just as like
71:19
a whoa this is bananas video like set up a couple of RAM drives and like just a
71:24
point too if we could get our hands on some 40 gabit or 100 gbit cards and just
71:28
be like wow wow this network card is as fast as
71:34
your internal drive will be for the next 10
71:43
years yeah um okay oh this is an update uh this was
71:49
posted by C girl on The Forum uh this week Microsoft
71:54
refunded the $8,000 worth of credit card
71:57
charges for that Dad oh from FIFA so
72:01
they did say this is a once in a lifetime exception don't do it
72:06
again and um how much trouble is that kid in wow a lot and like how screwed is
72:13
he going to be when he's like further in life he's like yeah my dad's not going
72:18
to notice like I'm not it's fine I don't
72:21
know maybe he learned his lesson did he people can learn things like okay here
72:25
I'm going to tell a super embarrassing story about when uh when I was younger
72:30
so when I was in when I was in high school a guy came up to me on the street
72:35
and asked me to cash a check for him and he was like something something whatever
72:39
the story was you know where this is going so whatever the story was he he
72:43
couldn't do it his bank was closed something something something here I'll
72:46
endorse the check I'll let you cash it and if you can give me the cat anyway so
72:50
long story short being the naive trusting individual that I am I cashed
72:54
it for him and ultimately I was out like $200 or
72:58
something like that which for me at the time was a lot of money like a lot of
73:03
money today $200 is a lot of money but
73:07
especially when I was like $200 is just a lot of money does matter 16 or
73:11
whatever that was a lot of money for me that's an excessively considerable
73:15
amount of money when you're 16 yeah so at least it was for me basically my
73:19
point here is I learned something it was
73:23
an expensive lesson but I learned something very valuable about how the
73:27
world works and sometimes you can have
73:31
those experiences and they can turn you into a better person yeah but that was
73:37
someone tricking you and you unfortunately falling for it yes this
73:41
was him being like L buy a whole bunch of things in FIFA L dad won't figure it
73:46
out I think they're different
73:50
maybe yes they are different but you
73:54
were unfortunately tricked I was he
73:57
repeatedly and excessively purchased something right you didn't go to the
74:02
store and click by like I don't know how
74:05
many times until you get to 8,000 I actually saw him on the street like a
