for privacy anyways oh crap I just
0:03
realized I never actually I never actually checked to make sure that that
0:07
test file worked okay hey so how's your
0:11
day going so that's a thing I don't know if we're continuing this stream or not
0:14
but we're but we're but we're here we're possibly live possibly Audible and
0:19
possibly you might be able to hear us on the internet I don't know definitely on
0:23
the internet if they can't hear us whether or not it's I'm just going to
0:27
work on poses oh that's the broken file from
0:31
before that one o that one is very loud I'm not even in twitch chat I think I
0:35
think we are I guess I could just I think we are literally destroying the
0:38
eardrums yeah I think it works of everyone I think people are saying it
0:43
it's working just fine you think people are saying it's working uh well it's
0:46
twitch chat so so basically it's completely meaningless and there's
0:51
nothing we can do the signal to noise ratio is like one
0:56
to a billion
1:01
we love you twitch chat you guys are great except when you're super duper
1:06
annoying yeah it seems to be working
1:09
fine what happened at dongers I don't know well that was some
1:14
twitch streamer that was like doing a thing and being obnoxious I think it's
1:19
kind of like um uh reptile Army Leafa
1:23
likee like it just kind of disappeared like I haven't seen a reference to that
1:28
since that 7 2 hours when the entire
1:31
internet thought they were cool because of it and then that was that so
1:38
um a the feels the feels from saying we
1:42
love twitch chat or from me saying I love twitch it was
1:46
ironic he doesn't love twitch chat I I do love twitch chat well I don't love
1:50
twitch chat you know twitchchat it's both you aggressively love twitch chat
1:54
and aggressively hate twitch chat I brought aggressively back yeah I see
1:58
that you did it very aggressively um the thing about twitch chat is Twitch
2:02
chat is more than the sum of its parts or rather less than the sum of its parts
2:06
because individually the people that make up the
2:10
twitch chat are real people with with real feelings and emotions and and
2:15
likable qualities but as a whole there is no emotions unless it's anger just a
2:21
whole anger and trolling those are the two emotions of twitch chat when twitch
2:25
chat is small enough like when I'm uh
2:29
like when I do my personal streams it can actually be pretty good they aggressively love you too by the way
2:33
aggressive love there we go yes um but
2:37
when you get like that critical mass
2:40
yeah it just turns into Insanity like remember it becomes critical yeah
2:43
remember Star Wars launch oh that was
2:47
awful that was insane that entire stream was insane like i y I'm pretty sure
2:52
there are still literally hundreds of
2:55
people banned from our twitch chat for Star Wars force awaken spoilers
3:00
actually hundreds literally hundreds that so many people didn't believe that
3:05
it was happening so would do it just to like check if it was working and then
3:09
got Perma banned and we do not unban like just to be really really
3:14
clear you know I do Wonder cuz when show
3:18
has grown both live and on the vaud over
3:21
the entire time check how many members you've banned can you yeah go to your uh
3:26
somewhere you're not streaming right yeah okay so go to
3:30
where is it stats maybe maybe it might
3:34
not be in technically the dashboard it might be in your like profile settings
3:38
or something oh okay um so like profile
3:42
or uh maybe uh I doubt it uh I can just
3:46
try things let me try to find it sure yeah if you try and find it so I know
3:49
you can find the list I don't know if it tells you a total give me a sec so we
3:53
have been sort of gradually growing both live and in the video on demand that we
3:58
upload to Youtube and uh and vessel but something that
4:02
I've wondered about is because we ban so
4:08
um let's see a word other than aggressively proactively proactively
4:12
from our chat it's like it's like Minority Report basically it's like oh
4:17
this guy had a bad thought or gal had a bad thought they're you know they might
4:21
they might say something about gone dongers or raising them or who dies or
4:26
whatever so uh let's just go ahead and Bo bam ban and I think a lot of people
4:32
stop watching channels that they're banned from the chat of especially if
4:36
they're people who actively engage in the chat um especially if the reason
4:40
that they like to engage in the chat is trolling because I mean why else would
4:44
you watch a channel you know if if what
4:47
you get out of it is trolling the chat why would you tune in to a channel where
4:51
you can't troll the chat so I do wonder
4:54
if our numbers particularly on Twitch
4:57
get impacted because we ban people because we ban people cuz my my sort of
5:04
my perception of most of the twitch channels that I've watched based on
5:08
what's going on in their chat unless they've got it in sub mode they don't
5:11
really is that it's pretty much a wretched Hive of scum and villainy and
5:17
there there there so doesn't seem to really be any moderation going on so you
5:21
can get the list of everyone but you it doesn't total it for you and I don't
5:24
think that's complete this is mine this is mine oh that's yours yeah okay so
5:30
where is it settings channel uh so if you go to I think so yes so if you click
5:34
on settings and then Channel and videos so you have to go to uh settings yeah
5:41
yes well it's not going there there we go andan and scroll down Okay so let's
5:46
let's have a look let's have a look at uh how many times the ban Hammer look at
5:50
this look at this you guys I mean this this this is what we're dealing with
5:55
here it says video player so that's one of the things we do on this channel
6:00
and it also says Banner that is one of the other things we do on this channel
6:03
we are banners oh God and also
6:08
players and videoos involved somehow there's no way that's complete no
6:12
there's no way there's absolutely no way this is complete this is like this is
6:16
like 204 you know I think this like a couple minutes of the Star Wars stream
6:20
this is to this is a top 100 this is 100 names I'm pretty sure oh yeah so I think
6:26
that's probably the hund most recent or something like that there's no way
6:29
that's complete yeah so um that's unfortunate yeah yeah that's unfortunate
6:33
it be kind of cool to be like kill account if we had like a counter the
6:39
yeah you can have most people have like donation or whatever you just have like
6:43
kill count it's like people from whom we will
6:47
never get a donation yeah we made them
6:51
super mad you know it's one of the things that's been a challenge with any
6:54
sort of community initiative like the number of people that get mad because we
7:00
ban them or like uh give them warning points on the Forum or whatever else and
7:04
they like yeah I'm not going to watch your videos anymore it's just like is
7:07
this even worth it sometimes cuz a lot of times it's not something we did it's
7:12
something they did and they don't like what we did as a result of what they did
7:15
and it's like it reminds me of that time when I was a student or like a teacher
7:19
Aid back in high school and there's this there's this girl in the class who's
7:23
like just you know if she was watching she probably knows I'm talking about her
7:27
because there's only one person on Earth who could possibly be this stupid um
7:32
like basically maybe she might not know you're talking about her every time
7:35
every time she opened her mouth it was a question like you know
7:39
I do I have to change the teacher's name to protect the identities of the people
7:43
in okay so Mr Douglas then um you
7:47
know oh oh what if the Earth ran out of
7:51
water would we all
7:54
die and I would love to believe that
7:57
this was trolling but it wasn't and this
8:01
is a grade nine class and I'm all for
8:04
you know respecting each other and and
8:07
and all that but when you when you
8:10
disrespectfully interrupt the class without raising your hand to ask a
8:15
question that you could have probably found out through at I don't know four
8:20
seconds of deductive reasoning um I
8:23
don't have a lot of patience for you so anyway this this individual would just
8:30
do and say may was just a prank bro no no I I actually no because even when I
8:36
wasn't her teacher Aid anymore and stuff like I just I'm sure um this individual would
8:43
do or say obnoxious thing things and then and then her that one's a little
8:48
brutal I usually defend people that like try to ask questions or whatever not
8:51
putting up your hands that's not what I'm talking about not putting up your hand a little annoying I'm talking about
8:55
like like anything like like throwing something or dropping something
8:59
intentionally just generally being an obnoxious little indiv little individual
9:03
asking questions is one thing asking questions without putting up your hand
9:07
or like asking at the right time is annoying generally generally very very
9:11
very very very dumb and very obnoxious individual so do something obnoxious and
9:17
then you know when you kind of go hey you can't do that it would be like it
9:21
would be like like like
9:24
hens don't pick on her you're being mean
9:27
to her it's like no I'm I'm actually not because you have to understand that your
9:31
actions have consequences me telling you don't do that is not me being mean if
9:37
you are making a bunch of noise or if
9:41
you are looking at someone else's test in the middle of an
9:44
exam I'm not being mean I'm not persecuting you I am just having a very
9:49
reasonable response to you doing something that you very clearly know
9:52
then again if you don't know that Running Out of Water means you'll die then you might not know that you can't
9:56
look at someone maybe you maybe you don't know but if I've already told you twice then you know the third time where
10:01
I'm impatient and I kind of go okay well then you're going to have to turn in
10:04
your exam now or whatever else even if you're not finished I mean it's not like
10:08
it's not like if you're a third of the way through an exam and you've got literally zero answers written down that
10:13
the other two-thirds of the exam time was going to result in some kind of a
10:16
difference anyway
10:19
um I don't remember a very passionate story I don't remember story yeah don't
10:24
don't remember it was V twitch chat I don't remember what aspect
10:31
either I don't we were talking about ban lists and kill counts and then oh yeah
10:37
people being upset because we banned them because they were bad because they
10:41
broke the rules and then people The Forum
10:44
yeah because came full circle and people
10:48
who people who defend those people and like oh you're being mean to them like
10:51
the whole defending someone who's is clearly wrong just because of your friend sometimes the in in defense of
10:55
some of the people in The Forum sometimes they genuinely don't know what
10:58
happened that's true and it'll be their friend that just got banned and they're
11:02
like yo like he was a cool guy why did he get banned I'm like well sometimes I
11:07
explain what happened sometimes I don't if it was like a very public if it was
11:11
something that happened in a PM I never explain what happened I'm like sorry I can't discuss this whatever it was
11:15
posted publicly on the board I might tell the person what happened I might not depends on if it like judgement call
11:20
well yeah exactly well they called someone this random massive list of
11:24
explicits and basically just pooped on their entire day multiple times with we
11:29
told them not to then they did it a consecutive five times after that after
11:33
us warning them every single time and then we permanently banned them usually
11:37
they're like oh okay but not not everyone takes that
11:41
philosophy because like I I remember having a conversation I think it was
11:45
with a it was either with a family
11:48
member or it was with a a friend and his
11:52
wife um or both actually I think and it was something along the lines of like oh
11:56
well if your wife's wrong you have to support her anyway I'm like no actually
12:01
I don't if my wife's wrong I'm going to tell her she's wrong and she should probably revise her I can I think you
12:06
can probably take like a a maybe more delicate route you don't have to like
12:11
attack the person for being wrong no of but you can have a discussion but there
12:15
but in my opinion agreeing with someone who is wrong does absolutely nothing to
12:19
develop them acing the general population of the
12:23
world less intelligent and not less intelligent but perhaps less well you
12:27
know less WR about more things yes so less knowledgeable certainly and uh less
12:33
correctly less well trained well and I don't mean training in the sense of
12:38
like good boy clicker clicker you know like click training I just mean like
12:42
like I I science training Math training
12:46
exactly knowledge about sewing training it doesn't matter training just means
12:50
like creating an environment where the people understand people around you
12:54
understand how to interact with you and you understand how to interact with them like when I say nail remover on bread
12:59
and then eating it a good idea no that's training and so I train my wife in
13:04
exactly the same way that she trains me we train each other how to deal with
13:08
each other and the reality and growing together it's a very ual beautiful thing
13:12
the reality of it is is that pretending that someone is that someone is right or
13:16
that someone is Justified is not helpful
13:20
to them in the longer term especially if that is someone that someday is not
13:24
going to be young and beautiful anymore and that I'm going to have to deal with
13:28
when say I'm going to be ugly not you you'll
13:31
never be ugly or you'll be ugly much more gradually I mean the thing about
13:36
the thing about certain hm how do I how
13:39
do I go about this certain ethnicities is that they have very different aging
13:44
curves so like everything's going to be great until 60 oh and like I'm going to
13:50
be like I feel so old and then all of a sudden I'm going to be the one who looks
13:54
young so we both have to be ready for each other to not be young and appealing
13:59
anymore and we're going to have to get along pretty darn well if our
14:02
relationship is going to survive at that point so uh well then you'll have AR
14:07
anyways and everyone's like everyone's like oh you know lonus this is brutal I
14:10
hope she's not watching I've said every word of this to her face multiple times
14:16
I have no problem saying it to your face because that's important too you have to
14:20
be able to say to someone's face exactly what you're thinking and if you can't do
14:24
it you should not be married period I kind of age with that
14:29
philosophy was like lines please stop okay okay okay we'll get on to some tech
14:33
we haven't red the intro yet oh yeah intro and the show
14:46
begins so many people in the chat Ivon is a nice person she's a nice person I
14:50
think she's great he's not saying that people don't
14:57
understand
15:01
oops uh uh hold on I have a plan uh oh
15:08
um apparently that oh dear did I crash
15:12
it um I don't think so there you go drag
15:18
y tunel bear
15:27
chras so I fix it as like our our metal
15:31
sponsor metal sponsor hey it kind of
15:35
is unintentionally working
15:40
out I mean what's an unintentional workout when you laugh too hard and your
15:44
abs get sore
15:47
yeah anyway um so
15:52
so this may be the worst show we've ever done we are literally 15 minutes in and
15:58
have covered nothing nothing nothing at
16:02
all and I've had so much of this water I'm going to have to pee before the end
16:06
of the show for sure I need to pee right
16:09
now well that's good maybe that'll make the show last longer
16:16
oh anyway anyway uh Dev blogs.
16:20
NVIDIA.com uh NVIDIA kind of had a big
16:23
event this week Pascal has been un veiled this uh in the
16:30
form of the Tesla P 100 so NVIDIA has
16:34
even gone as far now as to do away with
16:37
introducing their new big gpus as a
16:41
Quadro card and now they have skipped
16:44
straight to the uh the cards that only
16:47
sell to the big boys um and they've gone straight to the
16:51
Enterprise cards and everyone else workstation and desktop is going to have
16:57
to wait quite some time for a pascal
17:00
architecture graphics card with that said we do get to have a lot of details
17:06
about Pascal that we wouldn't have if they hadn't released anything based on
17:11
it because contrary to what a lot of people seem to think NVIDIA does not
17:18
completely re-engineer microarchitecture
17:21
for an Enterprise you know machine learning processor versus like a
17:26
workstation you know 3D model processor versus a desktop gaming
17:31
processor in fact I would say the vast
17:34
majority of the time that I'm aware of it is the same silicon pretty much maybe
17:40
they've made some tweaks you know cut off a thing here or bin for a lower TDP
17:45
there it's all just a binning process and then which features they want to
17:49
enable through the hardware and through the drivers in order to make it suited
17:53
for the particular task that is built for so what that means is that every
17:57
time would be excessively expensive and totally not worth it yeah I mean look
18:00
how long it takes them to build one of these yeah um so so this is cool because
18:05
it tells it gives us some idea of what a
18:08
Titan there are no cool letters left anymore they already used Z they already
18:13
used X they already used black like what are they going to call
18:17
it Titan Omega or like Titan yeah you
18:21
can get into like old like God style names CU Titan is that's where that kind
18:27
of comes from the but yeah you can't have the Titan Zeus because then it
18:30
would be like fighting itself that's what you could call their
18:34
like dual GPU card each one has its own
18:37
unique power even though they're the same and when the SLI doesn't scale at
18:41
all it's CU they're fighting each other it means one of them won
18:47
yeah um so what this tells us is what a
18:50
Next Generation Titan might look like so
18:54
we're looking at about 7 billion transistors in six 600 mm squar we're
19:00
looking at it's built on a 16 nanm process it contains
19:05
3,840 Kuda cores and 240 texture units
19:09
um they could call their like uh their high-end but still
19:14
consumer cards like savage or
19:17
something that's um Savage I think
19:21
someone's done that I think Savage video card is a thing like Savage video card
19:26
huh Savage Garden S3 Savage y yeah so
19:29
sorry you've been you've been beaten to the punch on that um okay so uh 240 T 64 stream multi
19:38
processors sorry I say 7 billion 150
19:43
billion transistors sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry uh 5.3 Tera flops of
19:47
performance so yeah we definitely got a die shrink this time around which is
19:51
nice and five
19:55
Miracles Miracles I hated that I watched
19:58
the stream and he's like yeah five Miracles came together in order to I'm
20:02
like no that was engineering don't call like some Engineers extremely hard work
20:07
miracles I'm going to back up Logitech on this one they're like science wins
20:12
whatever campaign super cool Miracles
20:15
not super cool Miracles win no like stop
20:19
um and like some someone worked really hard on that like some of the Miracles I
20:23
I don't even I don't even really get like one of the Miracles is Extreme
20:29
Performance equals powering high
20:33
performance Computing deep learning and
20:36
many more GPU Computing areas like
20:40
what what I think we need to look up
20:43
Miracle here Miracle are are we missing something is that Miracle a miracle is
20:49
an event not explicable by natural or
20:52
scientific scientific laws you had engineers and scientists working on this
20:56
you're saying like nope everything they did is just nope forget it and not
21:00
explainable not only that but the first miracle is better performance something
21:07
you've literally done like clockwork
21:11
since your company was founded and you would have needed to do
21:15
so or else you would fail and to be clear I'm not down on that and I'm not
21:19
saying that's not a big deal I'm not saying I'm not saying that but a feat of
21:24
engineering the engineers and the scientists and the and the business
21:27
units call it like five great feats and the and the sales I'm not saying that
21:31
every business unit of NVIDIA didn't work hard and kick ass to get there I'm
21:36
just saying it's not a miracle so so holding hard and kicking such an event
21:41
may be attributed to a supernatural being oh Magic a miracle worker a saint
21:48
or a religious leader and this this is something that really bothers me about
21:51
this one apple does it and when NVIDIA
21:54
watches Apple's Keynotes too closely and tries to replicate them is that Jack
22:01
it's like the the the jobs reality Distortion field as it as it's called
22:06
was unique to that individual it is not something that you can can and it is not
22:10
something that you can reproduce no matter how no matter I mean it's it's
22:13
it's the hilarious thing about it is NVIDIA is a company full of Engineers
22:17
like like pretty much to a man uh and woman and like it's it's almost like
22:22
watching that segment it's almost like they reverse
22:26
engineered like yeah how to do unfortunately poorly unfortunate well un
22:31
sometimes rever reverse engineering goes very well you can't engineer Charisma
22:36
yeah well they're going to try to with robots yeah they're going to try um so
22:40
the next Miracle is Envy link this is really cool they've been talking about
22:45
this for a while this is a replacement for PCI Express a faster higher
22:50
bandwidth interconnect a lower latency interconnect between gpus and I and I I
22:56
don't even know if I can call them gpus cuz they're not even it's not even four
23:00
Graphics at this level but anyway I'm going to call them gpus cuz it's a lot
23:04
more convenient than trying to call them NVIDIA pus or whatever they're
23:09
going to start they're probably gonna they're probably going to pull an AMD
23:12
and like start calling them something else it's like no no ours are apus yeah
23:16
it's like well hold on a second I mean you do know they're CPUs calculating
23:21
processing yeah you do know that Intel also has CPUs with graphics on them
23:26
right yeah they don't them apus
23:29
so science process I don't know what they're going to call them so Envy link
23:33
really cool hbm2 but this is this is this is not an
23:38
NVIDIA Miracle this is like this is like an an evolutionary Improvement to a
23:43
technology that is better but it's not a miracle and
23:48
it's not a miracle someone worked really hard on like the theory and then
23:51
bringing the theory to life and then like getting it into like Mass producing
23:55
testing it making sure that there is low failure rates like this went through a
23:59
lot of work next is Unified memory and compute preemption so significantly
24:04
improved programming model I feel very bad for any Engineers that worked on any
24:08
of the things that are now being called Miracles and if you did I'm sorry you're
24:12
great you're you're doing a good job your efforts are recognized and 16
24:17
nanometer fin fat manufacturing process which is a not a miracle again and B
24:21
totally not new um I mean Intel's had
24:25
processors based on 14 nmet in your computer potentially for like a
24:32
year so
24:36
yeah um which isn't to say again is
24:40
which is not to say that it all isn't like great and impressive and that I'm
24:44
not looking forward to a new generation like a true generational leap NVIDIA
24:50
card performance I just really I just
24:54
we've gone on about this for too long it's ridiculous the fact this show still
24:58
exists is a miracle that's maybe true that's possibly a miracle that probably
25:02
did involve some kind of divine intervention yes um the fact that 5700
25:08
people are watching it is definitely a miracle I love you guys that had no yeah
25:14
all right so there is some more cool stuff here this is neat this was origin
25:18
actually hold on do I have an OP for the last one I don't so the op for this one
25:21
is Leap Frog Master race on the Forum and the original article here is wow I
25:26
can choose between CET and Yahoo good
25:29
luck I'm going to go with Yahoo they need all the help they can get um well
25:33
they own other compan NVIDIA's Drive PX they're in a lot of trouble NVIDIA's
25:38
drive px2 to be used in autonomous race
25:42
cars for the robo Race
25:46
Championship this really raises a lot of
25:50
questions for me um number one is
25:54
like how cool is this because because
25:57
being the cars are going to be identical the the way this is actually going to be
26:01
initially uh set up is As um I forget
26:05
what it's called e something e formula or
26:09
something electric it's going to be like a like a um like an opening act for
26:14
Formula E for Formula E um and what
26:17
they're going to do is they're going to have all identical cars with these
26:22
little deep learning capable brains that
26:26
are like the size of a l box that are based on Pascal gpus and these cars are
26:33
going to race each other getting better as time goes on meaning that feasibly Fe
26:40
feasibly these these brains these car
26:44
brains could get better enough than each
26:48
other that even though they have exactly the same Base Hardware both in the box
26:53
and around it in the car there could be like one that's noticeably better than
26:58
the other ones Isn't that
27:02
cool how they're intaking data cuz if they're all literally intaking the exact
27:06
same amount of data without some randomization they would actually all come to the same they would have a
27:10
slightly different perspective like if it was just cameras and sensors and they
27:15
didn't have like so there's no like external whatever it's just what your
27:19
car can in itself pick up do not know do
27:23
not know that but assuming that they made them race as those they were a
27:28
driver then feasibly well cuz the reason why I said external is cuz if it's a
27:33
race and it's although they are a driver they probably have pit crew that can
27:37
talk to them mhm yeah I see what you
27:40
mean so like like kind of like spot for them like you would with binoculars so
27:44
you would be able to like tell them what's going on but if they're contained
27:48
within their car they wouldn't be able to see the other things so if you're actually in first and by a fair amount
27:53
you might be getting no information for a long time and some of the car behind
27:56
you might get more intelligence eventually pass Y and then you'd be out of which could be very interesting they
28:01
need to go for like a while but the
28:04
other question that this raises is who could possibly care because I don't know
28:10
about you guys and maybe maybe we can get a straw pole going on this you want
28:13
to want to hit me with hit me with a straw pull let's get a straw pull going
28:17
would you care about a sporting event if
28:20
there was no uh story lines to follow
28:24
about the people involved yes and take a
28:27
and think about this because one of uh it's actually rather interesting one of
28:32
the reasons why people don't really care that much about a lot of current space
28:35
travel is because they're sending robots this is like very trackable you can very
28:41
much figure this out they send a person up sorry I said CR field yeah yeah
28:46
whenever they send a person up everyone's like whoa wow and then they send a robot up and they're like
28:51
hopefully it doesn't crash I guess I'm going to do something else um like this
28:55
is a very consistent thing across aot lot of different Realms so just remember
29:00
that so would you have cared about the
29:04
Miracle on Ice if it was a bunch of
29:07
Tesla p100s versus a bunch of other Tesla
29:11
p100s yeah would that have had an emotional impact on you as a human being
29:16
I think I think this is I think this is a very valid discussion um yeah yeah go
29:22
ahead and wow did they change they changed their font or something straw
29:26
pole looks different yeah it does look different yeah okay
29:30
can you fire that over to me through like hangouts or something so I can uh
29:34
now it looks normal Oh weird I have no idea what just happened I I blame
29:38
anything I was just going to post in chat any computer yeah I I want to show
29:41
the results on screen oh right I could also look at the chat and I could see it
29:44
that way oh oh it is so fast here here
29:47
here here here no I got this i got this i got this yeah all right um so let's go
29:53
ahead and start start bringing in those results here so will you care about
29:59
really okay so cuz honestly like I I'll
30:03
tell you I'll tell you something like when uh for example you know Vancouver
30:06
conects you know the local sports team
30:10
um when they make a lot of roster
30:13
changes over the offseason I actually find it a lot harder to pick up on the
30:18
new season and like care about what's going on because I I I I haven't I
30:24
haven't watched the development and struggle of you know the sadine sisters
30:29
turning into two of the top players in the league over the course of their long
30:33
and you know illustrious career the way that everyone called them made of glass
30:38
and then actually one of them ended up holding the NHL Iron Man streak for the
30:42
most consecutive games played like like that kind of stuff those kinds of
30:46
storylines are what make the sport because I don't play hockey I can't play
30:50
hockey I'm which you'll know well enough if you if you are subscribed on vessel
30:55
very soon um either just to like what
30:59
I'm saying yeah he's not just giving me crap this is this is a this is a
31:02
companywide struggle you play ball hockey yeah put me on skates it's a
31:06
different story um so so following those story lines is what makes it interesting
31:11
to me it's what makes it's what makes it human because I can't watch hockey and
31:16
kind of go oh yeah I can appreciate exactly how difficult that shot was to
31:20
make the same way that I can watch badminton badminton I don't care who's
31:24
playing like I do have my personal favorites I
31:27
due to story lines the struggles like you know every time Lee Chong takes on
31:32
Lind Dan it's like does he redeem himself this time he
31:36
lost two gold medal Olympic matches to the guy in a row in the third set the
31:41
second one went to Deuce if you guys play racket Sports you'll know what that means means you have to win by at least
31:45
two points and just like he comes from
31:48
Malaysia so like just
31:52
completely way smaller talent pool is basically a a national hero there
31:57
whereas I to be to be fair lindan is basically a national hero because
32:01
badman's sort of a big deal in China too but team China wins everything and when
32:05
team Malaysia gets to stick it to team China even in the smallest possible way
32:10
it's it's very it's it's a big deal in that sport so but with that said I can
32:14
watch any highle players play badminton I can really appreciate it because I'm
32:18
like wow I really understand the finesse that it took to to make that shot or
32:21
whatever but hockey it's not about that for me so I it surprises me that 43% of
32:26
you are saying that you will care about machines racing each other in
32:31
competitions uh without without that human aspect of
32:35
it what do you think will you care I mean you don't follow Sports anyway no
32:40
um I would probably watch it just because I'm interested in AI mhm and
32:44
then get very bored very quickly as what I expect to happens probably happen
32:49
where the first bits kind of a mess and then it kind of sets in and just sits
32:54
there cuz you'll watch football but that's all that I'm aware of of that
32:57
you'll like sit and watch and enjoy football I'll watch the Super Bowl with
33:01
my family cuz it's a thing and that's about it I love playing sports watching
33:06
a sport just makes me want to play the sport it doesn't necessarily want to
33:09
make me want to watch more of the sport right you know what I mean yep like if I
33:13
watch football I'm like damn I really wish there was more like casual men's
33:17
teams that I could play football again if I watch hockey I'm like man I wish
33:22
there was a men's league in BC that wasn't literally just fighting um if I
33:26
watch anything else just like I want to go out there and do the thing like
33:29
watching a sport and then immediately going outside and playing it afterwards
33:33
cool so this is an interesting point uh
33:36
the twitch chat moves too fast for me to for me to figure out who it was but they
33:40
said you know what about you know robot robot wars like robot battles that a lot
33:46
of I'm into that but again if you watched the show was it literally called
33:51
robot wars I don't remember what it was called um Battle Bots or whatever a lot
33:56
of that if you you watched the show was actually talking about the
33:59
controllers and the people and the people yeah and that's what the
34:03
controllers isn't the people controlling the right but but an AI version of that
34:08
would you be into that I don't know I would watch it because I like AI stuff
34:12
okay but like like traditionally throughout media if there isn't a person
34:17
attached to something it's not really followed as much cuz I could I could get
34:20
I could get into that especially if you have people or teams of people designing
34:25
the battling robots where this car thing is however many identical
34:30
cars with identical brains and identical prog programming to me that's not
34:34
interesting like you might as well it's like it's like horse racing the horses
34:39
were machines had one time yeah and then
34:42
forever after that it would have to be like here's our car it's designed in our
34:47
way maybe there's requirements like it
34:51
big sponsorship from Microsoft and like a sponsored team from Google and apple
34:55
sponsored team I get into that yeah yeah like it has to have a working door it
34:59
has to take x amount of passengers I mean you know what I mean
35:03
sorry I'm about to totally go off on a tangent here you think about how
35:09
fanatical people already get about
35:12
companies like apple Microsoft
35:16
Google imagine this imagine if they
35:20
played Sports the way people get fanatical about sports teams and the way
35:26
they get fanatical about cell phones or
35:29
game consoles can you imagine can you imagine Sony versus Microsoft baseball
35:35
yeah yeah and then baseball game company baseball teams Apple Apple versus Google
35:40
it started it started World War 4 the moobile the mobile pH playing so or
35:46
football or whatever you want to call it or if Microsoft was involved it would start World War
35:51
I
35:55
rough r everyone that's what someone in chat
35:59
said that's pretty accurate Apple versus
36:03
FBI right no no offense to Apple but I think
36:08
a whole lot of Engineers versus a whole lot of at least some of them are
36:11
probably in good shape federal agents I'm going with the federal agents Oh you
36:15
mean like literally sports with people I thought these were representatives of
36:19
like robots no oh wow no I actually mean
36:22
Tim Cook hitting a baseball oh wow okay
36:26
that would be really fun apparently Nintendo already owns an MLB team which
36:31
doesn't even surprise me yeah and they're like uh who is it
36:38
remember see who can Google it first Seattle they own the Seattle Mary shut
36:44
up yeah really I remember it like it's
36:47
it was a pretty prominent
36:50
team they are one of three baseball teams under corporate ownership I had no
36:55
idea Rogers Communications the Toronto Blue Jays
37:00
fascinating well there you go I I do not follow baseball very closely because I
37:04
have I like the the most the most upto-date baseball player I know is like
37:08
Ken Griffey Jr because he was on the cover of my like sness baseball game
37:12
like that's that's about as up to date as I am on baseball although I do know
37:17
that the uh that the what are they called again not the Maple Leafs the
37:20
Blue Jays thank you I do know that the Blue Jays are like good now or something
37:24
so that's cool cuz there had to be one team in Canada that was any good at
37:28
anything that's cool um yeah I don't think any Canadian teams are going to
37:32
make the NHL playoffs this year out of like
37:36
six or however many there are are players just go and play for the states
37:41
seven or whatever it is if you look at like demographics of players it's not even that simple anymore because up
37:45
until up until this year the dollar was
37:48
basically par so it didn't matter um so as long as your as long as your revenues
37:53
were coming in from ticket sales in which case the Canadian teams had a significant Advantage you could pay
37:57
those us salaries and with the in the salary cap era especially the teams that
38:02
do really great sales like Toronto who jacked up their prices in spite of the
38:05
fact that they've made the playoffs I think they made it once in like the last
38:09
10 or 15 years or something like that um they still jacked their prices every
38:13
year because the revenues are great so in the salary cap era as long as you
38:17
have decent ticket sales you can afford anything it's all strategic now and
38:22
honestly it seems to me that like being in a crappy city is way more important
38:27
now than having enough money like if you're in some City that nobody wants to
38:32
live in then it's going to be harder to attract Talent yeah straight up yeah um
38:36
interesting but it's much much deeper than that as well like there's a lot of
38:41
there's a there's a lot of um basically
38:44
just politicking that goes on yeah there
38:48
wouldn't be much politicking in in Robo
38:54
races anyways real topics
38:58
um yeah sure um I mean we have one more jeez
39:02
we've got what two more NVIDIA things oh this one's really cool so I lost the dog
39:07
I'm going to skim through NVIDIA's new AI brain has eight Pascal gpus 7
39:13
terabytes of solid state memory and uh
39:17
and takes 3200 Watts which is exactly why you do not need that 2,000 wat power
39:21
supply put it down stop looking at it yeah I got a message on the Forum today
39:25
of some dude asking you if he needed a 2,000 wat power supply cuz he was
39:29
getting like two graphics cards or something and he's like I need to double it I'm like no you're fine everything is
39:35
fine except your wallet if you buy that
39:39
don't buy that like I literally ran seven gaming computers off of a 2,000
39:43
watt no that was a, 1600 watt don't worry about it you're fine
39:49
anyway so we've got Envy link links
39:53
between these eight gpus a couple zons
39:56
and uh it's a 3u chassis that has a 3200
40:01
wat power supply and NVIDIA is boasting
40:04
that it is uh so the chips are arranged in a hybrid Cube array which allows them
40:08
to communicate with each other independently and offload tasks in a
40:12
more coordinated way um they claim the memory has as much throughput as 250 x86
40:18
servers although they don't clarify exactly what sort of x86 servers those
40:22
are um it wouldn't surprise me though based on the fact that they're using
40:25
hbii memory which is
40:28
already way faster than the quadtest
40:33
channel list of memory that uh that Intel could possibly strap onto a CPU at
40:37
this point um already available for pre-order and it's going to cost you a
40:42
mere $129,000 I literally just made a video
40:47
complaining about the speed of high-speed PC tech stations that's
40:51
probably fine I could afford that yeah you know what it's 80 bucks too
40:55
expensive it's uh it's it's really interesting to see people's reaction I
40:58
actually posted a screenshot from uh the Creator Studio where I showed that on
41:03
the ,000 HDMI cable we made back our money on it um and a surprising number
41:09
of people actually shoot right right so
41:14
sorry I got to this because you were saying that um you know you were based
41:18
on making a video around it you could probably afford that most people no no
41:22
that's not what I was saying oh high-speed PC tech stations like the
41:27
tech benches I made a video complaining about how expensive they were oh I
41:30
totally misunderstood saying like and I said in the video we have some at work
41:34
but for personal use spending like $140 on a like us literally two platforms of
41:40
plastic like yeah yeah okay well sorry
41:43
I'll I'll finish that story anyway I I had thought cuz it's uh the the capture
41:48
is $2,200 on the video that we spent
41:52
$11,000 just on the product itself to
41:56
make and I was surprised cuz I expected
41:59
people to kind of go don't normally make $2,200 yeah it's got well that's
42:03
something I wasn't expecting people to to know um I was expecting people to
42:07
kind of like like pile onto it and just be
42:11
like $2,200 per video wow holy crap um
42:16
but I was pretty impressed with the
42:19
comments everywhere except Facebook where most people seemed to understand
42:24
that the $2,200 doesn't happen every time because that video has 1.6 million
42:31
views damn it I this whole time I was trying to figure out how many I didn't
42:34
know you knew off the top of your head yeah yeah I yeah 1.6 million yeah 1.6
42:37
million views in a span of about 15 days
42:42
um yes and not only that but depending
42:46
on the demographic that it's reaching depending on seasonality depending on uh
42:52
I don't know the the the direction of the winds in Iceland
42:57
um the cpms so that that is the the cost
43:01
per Mill cost per thousand views for advertisers can be all over the map so
43:06
me putting out that number was just it was basically meaningless other than to
43:10
say hey for all the people who were concerned that we threw away our money
43:17
to to take one for the team hey we made it back because thanks to people sharing
43:21
the video and people watching it we were able to make enough on the AdSense to
43:25
cover a surprising number of people other than
43:29
Facebook got that and even understood
43:32
that we didn't necessarily then make $1,200 on the video because there is an
43:37
entire organization of people that goes behind creating these videos and a
43:42
building and equipment and an internet connection that is not cheap but really
43:47
does make all those other things operate more smoothly anyway um yeah so I just I
43:52
don't know I just I thought it was pretty cool that most people got it it
43:57
that uh that what we do is expensive and that was like that was like an exception
44:01
that was just kind of a neat thing um one thing that I didn't know and Nick
44:06
was Nick kind of linked me to this later it looks like posting specifically that
44:11
may have skirted around the rules sort of it's a gray area but um you're not
44:17
actually allowed to share which I thought was the case before but then I
44:22
had thought wasn't the case anymore and now Nick has helpfully um gone into the
44:27
terms of service and highlighted the appropriate areas and sent it to me
44:30
because he knows that's the only way to get me to read anything these days um so
44:34
there you go I'm I'm did you take it down or something um no no I left it
44:38
because it looks like it's probably fine um but I wouldn't I'm not going to make
44:43
a habit of that because I don't want to get in trouble yes like I don't want to
44:46
lose my AdSense over yeah not over like telling other
44:52
people what it is what do I look like Ty Lopez no
44:59
knowledge the I for I forget whose video
45:02
it was I feel really bad because it was great um where they where it's like just
45:06
the most sarcastic just troll video that I've
45:11
seen in quite some time uh where they basically prove that the house that he
45:16
supposedly owns h33 it was it H3 H3 good
45:20
job h3h3 it was awesome and they just uh
45:24
back you make sorry nothing um and they just they they
45:29
they help you find the conclusion on your own as subtly as possible not
45:34
subtle um that he has just rented that house it's just a rental house that just
45:39
has a listing on like a house rental service um that he just used to film
45:44
that day and he's like yeah you know this is my pool and this is my yeah
45:47
you're freaking guy I shouldn't even have to know his name like that the fact
45:53
that you can buy but at least it's knowledge the fact that you can buy Fame
45:57
in that way Lamborghinis yeah what about all these
46:01
books books you think knowledge think he rented the books I don't
46:06
know that was one thing I always wondered he had that giant house and
46:09
he's like I installed all these bookshelves in the
46:13
garage despite having a mansion
46:16
literally I put them in the garage like
46:20
well he wants to learn close to his cars I guess something Reading while you're
46:24
driving should probably be more than texting I just I don't know I'm going to
46:29
take this entire book and put it in front of my face is that illegal reading
46:33
and driving yeah I don't know I don't know I mean operating a phone is but
46:36
like if you had a newspaper open on your steering wheel like is that I have no
46:40
idea I guess it would probably fall under General distracted driving laws
46:44
right yeah yeah uh okay so speaking of
46:47
distracted driving if you find yourself
46:50
driving towards a website that is region locked and you can't access due to a
46:55
Countrywide firewall or a or or a
46:58
regional restriction tunnel pair or if
47:03
or if you're your firewall is incorrectly set up yes
47:08
what oh yeah does that work yeah you were
47:13
able to get around our incorrectly configured firewall damn it Johnny is he
47:18
here I've been meaning I've been meaning to hit him he he came and talked to me
47:21
like right when he came in he's figuring it out oh okay it's weird that it's only
47:25
hard websites that's what I'll talk no I've hit other stuff I think we just
47:29
mostly browse Hardware websites I think that has more to do with it so anyway so
47:34
tunnel bear which we use to get around all me to get
47:39
to Tom's Hardware Broken Network lets you tunnel to 20 different countries it
47:44
encrypts your connection and browse the internet and use online services
47:48
privately as though you're in a different country it makes it so that that website thinks that you're someone
47:53
else from somewhere else being mean to Johnny I love Johnny he's a beautiful
47:57
human being stop being mean to Johnny and if he wasn't beautiful looks on't
48:01
everything that's true well I meant beautiful as in like the whole on the
48:05
inside and both everything both yeah okay uh tunnel bear lets you bypass all
48:10
the annoying details that typically come with a VPN for personal use no Port
48:14
configurations or DNS or it guys that
48:17
have to come in every other week because they're fixing the thing they screwed up
48:21

49:44
purchase thanks to Squarespace for supporting the W show keep doing it
49:48
because uh otherwise how would we keep producing this fantastic show that it is
49:53
a freaking Miracle you should keep producing this
49:57
watches Squarespace build beautiful you
50:01
were you were you're never too fast for me oh um speaking of things that you
50:06
should do if you have a project this is hilarious I fix it
50:11
actually had a sponsorship spot coming up on a regular LT release not on W show
50:18
and I specifically was in the middle of doing a random video I didn't even know
50:24
they had a spot coming up and I was using an iFixit toolkit
50:29
because I do that yeah and I like
50:33
started going into like a sales pitch about it and I was like I'm just joking
50:37
they're not the sponsor of this turns out they
50:41
are that's kind of funny yeah so going
50:45
to end up in the thing well it's in the it's a live it's the live disassembly so
50:49
it's like I'm not reshooting it so I I'm going to tell the editor to
50:54
just do like a like a we interrupt this broadcast to bring
50:59
you this message that actually they are the sponsor of this episode anyway
51:04
didn't know I it's funny I fix it is probably the the actual sponsor like not
51:11
companies that don't actually sponsor us like NVIDIA like the actual sponsor of
51:16
our actual show that I get the most
51:19
false positives about from viewers because I'll yeah like I'll tweet a
51:24
picture of like a phone that I'm like I I recently replaced the home button in
51:29
my old iPhone 4 because I still use it as an MP3 player and everything but the
51:33
home button about it works great like why throw it away right um and I had all
51:37
my iFixit crap like behind it and I was like hey I'm repairing the home button
51:41
and people like oh that product placement that sponsorship I'm like no
51:45
I'm just actually doing the thing just using it because it's a really good screwdriver yeah um and it happens like
51:50
all the time like people called me on it in the video card painting guide anytime
51:54
I'm taking apart or putting together anything they like Dad I fix it
51:58
sponsorship no no really great tools
52:01
great guides I use them all the time I used them I paid for their products
52:06
before they became a sponsor of the show we reached out to them because we love
52:10
the products and they've got an all new
52:13
Protech tool kit that is even better than before it replaces the 54-- bit
52:17
driver kit with a 64-bit driver kit so you can have more than four gigs of RAM
52:21
it comes with a more durable case that's a joke it comes with durable case um
52:27
it's got that pretty good the screwdriver kit
52:31
attaches via magnets um it comes with
52:34
more like like prying tools the prying tools are better this is crazy um they
52:38
are no they really are no the new ones are way better no I know did darus show
52:42
you what he does to his I I the last show that I was on with my brother yeah
52:46
they were a sponsor and I raved about that mainly oh cuz like so much stronger
52:51
I didn't even know he took them and folded them completely in half and then
52:55
then like put it back and the plastic wasn't even like pale on one side from
52:59
bending Haven seen that no no he he he showed me that and I was like crazy I
53:02
didn't even know that my thing was the old ones they're they're great I've used
53:06
them a million times but the little ends
53:10
just get chewed up yep yeah and over time it'll just not really be useful
53:14
anymore just kind of how it was so it includes the new prying tools a wider
53:18
variety of opening and prying tools and the price is $69.95 it's backed by their
53:24
lifetime warranty and if you go to ifixit.com Linus and use code w@
53:29
checkout you can save five bucks on your
53:32
purchase of my notes say $10 or more but I'm fairly certain it's $50 or more so
53:36
basically if you buy a kit you get five bucks off and the kit pays for itself
53:41
after like one repair project so to me
53:44
it was a no-brainer back when I bought one and it's a no-brainer
53:49
today surely we have like other topics to talk about today I even gave I even
53:53
gave col a heart oh no this is is really cool okay last NVIDIA topic uh the
53:57
original article is on no this one's really cool you'll love it it's posted
54:01
by aling on the Forum this is by far the most interesting to me prototype 1,700
54:08
htz quote unquote zero latency display
54:11
now to be clear zero latency is not zero it is 0.56 of a millisecond that's
54:17
pretty sweet though which is basically zero so what they're doing is they're
54:21
actually I'm looking at this a little closer um okay shut up um so basically
54:26
they are moving dang
54:31
it dang it what are you doing dang it
54:34
here okay so you can see them vigorously
54:38
shaking uh this thing around it and the NVIDIA logo which is actually on the
54:43
display so that is being run on a display is staying completely
54:49
stationary very freaking cool what that
54:53
means is that with the appropriate also
54:56
very low latency tracking sensors a head-mounted display could have an image
55:01
stay completely static even when you're whipping your head around whipping your
55:05
gun around and exploring virtual
55:08
environments maybe you have anything to elaborate on that with um one of
55:13
the yeah I don't know running that will be
55:16
interesting well yeah I think it's going to be yeah run at 1700 frames or
55:20
something yeah I think it's going to be a while till we see this um one of the
55:24
things yeah sure one of the just to talk about VR for a moment cuz I could talk
55:28
about VR for an yeah yeah um some people
55:33
have been a little bit less than in enthused I guess I would say with some
55:38
of the launches we don't have any of the headsets
55:41
yet don't really have any other way to tell you that I contacted Palmer forever
55:47
and a half ago some of you might remember the Tweet uh he did end up
55:51
tweeting me back in a DM but then the response time
55:55
have been like months instead of hours or days anyways um so we don't have our
56:00
headsets yet and we don't have our Vive yet either but some people have been
56:04
disappointed because of the games and one thing that has been very commonly
56:08
said is it kind of feels like you're just playing a Wii U in terms of quality
56:13
of like graphics and then the games feel like demos instead of full games despite
56:18
costing like $40 a pop and then you just have a screen on your face which
56:22
is cool but people want more than that
56:26
I'm not that surprised or right at the beginning of the launch yada yada yada
56:29
yada but one of the many reasons why it
56:32
kind of looks like you're playing Wii U style Graphics is because it's really
56:37
hard to make games for a lot of people
56:41
that can run at 90 FPS at these
56:44
resolutions and that's only 90 and this thing is way more FPS than that that was
56:49
freaking you way to go Brandon rude sorry we need
56:56
another Brandon Appreciation Day Brandon Appreciation Day when is it
57:00
um oh I just realized isn't it in the summer that shortens to bad oh
57:06
wow ass have a bad bad day bad ass day
57:09
bad bad because Brandon's an ass no cuz
57:13
you like his
57:19
attitude uh this was originally posted on the Forum by Good Bites original
57:23
article is from The Verge the Spectre 13
57:27
is hp's attempt to outdesign
57:31
Apple which apparently means make it
57:36
thinner wow now to be clear I could not care
57:42
less the Spectre 13 looks pretty sexy uh
57:46
it's got I what really look at those hinges I think they're Co that looks
57:50
super derp I know I think they're kind of like classy looking that thing looks
57:55
weird the bezel is Big the hinges are wonko you're being such a hater right
58:00
now you're doing it on purpose oh it looks so
58:03
beautiful I like the new logo that looks
58:06
pretty sick did you read about that yeah I did yeah I actually do really like the
58:10
new logo I think it looks great I think they should have used it before wow
58:14
okay you don't like the hinge I it's not
58:18
doing it for me like quite literally I'm not just trying to like Devil's Advocate
58:21
like I don't know it doesn't look okay all right like up close it doesn't look
58:25
too bad on the big picture it doesn't really seem to fit in like everything
58:29
else is this like awkwardly flat like straight line thing and then it's
58:34
like I don't know so almost to the I would expect like if it had like that
58:38
Lenovo like chain hinge kind of thing do you know that one on the
58:42
yogas oh yeah I know the one I think that would suit it really well like one
58:46
of those like back hinges that wrap around instead of like up and through
58:49
the middle those feel awkward to hold though do they yeah I think I know the
58:55
one it's it's um yeah if you can find if you can find
58:59
a picture of it that might be helpful um so most of it's made from dark gray
59:02
aluminum uh bottom is lighter carbon
59:06
fiber or some nonsense like that um that
59:09
weighs 2.45 lbs which the interesting
59:14
thing about that is um oh no I'm not
59:17
familiar with that H really yeah okay no these look pretty cool okay that does
59:21
look very cool yeah um and the
59:24
interesting thing about that weight and this is why like the first thing that
59:28
bothers me about this story is that out engineering Apple just means what
59:33
thinner lighter lame that is not all
59:36
there is to it because 2.45 in or 2.45
59:39
PBS is only3 of a pound so we're talking
59:45
one5 or something kilogram we're talking like 115 gram versus the razor blade
59:52
stealth who cares at that point if the
59:57
stealth is going to give me an RGB keyboard it's going to give me a 1440p
60:02
display if it's going to give me any
60:05
other benefits um it's got bang and Olson
60:09
audio which is one of those things where it's like maybe meaningful but usually
60:14
not it's been overused on cheap not very
60:19
well implemented situations so now it doesn't really mean much and not even
60:22
those but even on not cheap but just
60:26
just from an engineering standpoint completely impossible situations like
60:31
you know if you were to tell me oh the speaker on your iPhone SE has bangun
60:38
olon audio speaker in the button it's like well this thing is only so big you
60:43
can only put so much driver and so much
60:47
speaker in here be a well engineered one yeah it could be a well-engineered one
60:50
but it's not going to be anything special or Earth shattering um so
60:54
whether whether that's good or not remains to be seen I am trying to get a
60:58
review unit I am working on it and just because I am I am hating on this race to
61:03
be the thinnest um we should have you wear gloves so you can't really tell
61:08
from texture which one is which and see if matter and see if in a blind taste
61:12
test you can even tell which one's heavier what I will tell you is the LG
61:16
gram um is noticeably lighter I don't
61:20
remember how much that one weighs though
61:23
uh so that's their 14in Ultra 15in I is
61:27
this the one is this the one I saw I don't even know if that's right I'm
61:31
trying to get a unit of that too because that one was impressively light and very
61:36
noticeably very noticeably lighter than anything else I had ever touched um that
61:42
one's 2.16 lb and it is a 15 in 980 gr
61:48
that is ridiculous yeah so like there is
61:52
there is a threshold so that is a I just don't care
61:55
it's beyond the point where it matters at all that one might surprise you well
61:59
no okay it's beyond the point where it matters to me like the blade stealth is
62:02
already light enough that I can't really tell if my backpack or not I yeah
62:07
um like big gaming laptops there's there's if if one's like I have the same
62:11
performance but I weigh a little bit less like that's kind of cool because those actually weigh a fair amount these
62:16
things are below the threshold of weight where I care at all so I forget what I
62:21
was saying anymore someone might um
62:24
aluminum carbon fiber craftsmanship carbon fiber edgo Edge Corning Gorilla
62:28
glass display love to see that piston hinge design promises up to 9 hours of
62:33
battery life here's the thing that drives me crazy why doesn't anyone have
62:37
the balls to make that device but like three and a half millim
62:45
thicker and another you know 300 or 400
62:48
G with like a 20h hour
62:51
battery why does no nobody do
62:56
it someone please the thing is now that
63:01
you're saying this and not just because of that but now that a lot of people have said this too someone's going to do
63:07
it that's going to be that's well that's going to be their entire pitch and it's
63:12
going to be the only thing that matters about whatever device it is whether it's
63:16
a phone or a laptop or whatever the rest of it going to be junk and then the
63:20
whole industry is going to blame that thing not
63:25
uh succeeding very much on the fact that they went with that angle instead of the
63:29
fact that they did a terrible job with everything else yeah happened before
63:33
yeah yeah so anyway in spite of all the
63:36
negativity I that I you know have of the
63:40
whole race to zero thing I'm super excited to check this thing out and I
63:43
would love to review one because it does look pretty sexy to me whatever you
63:47
might think of it we don't all have to have the same taste I like I just if it
63:52
was just a normal out of the wear laptop I'd be like okay but when they're like
63:56
oh yeah competing with Apple for Design This is a beautiful like no I don't see
64:05
it yeah I guess for me part of it is I
64:08
just don't really I don't really know what's left to do with the clamshell
64:13
form factor um I think Microsoft really tried
64:18
with the Surface Book I haven't I haven't heard anything about Surface
64:23
Book since I reviewed
64:27
it that's interesting I don't watch TV though like I think there's like
64:31
commercials and stuff maybe but I have
64:34
not seen one I have not heard of one I haven't seen a thread on the Forum like
64:39
hey I'm thinking of buying a Surface Book which config should I get like
64:42
nothing interesting do you see a lot of laptop
64:46
news though sure if it's like about
64:50
Apple or new ones yeah or new ones so fair enough uh speaking of new ones this
64:56
is more than new this is this is basically rumor Rumor Mill at this point
65:00
but pretty exciting AMD Zen 8 core
65:03
engineering sample runs at 3
65:07
gigahertz I think that's pre-boost as well yeah any form of anything yeah we
65:13
don't know anything about this is
65:16
interesting availability in 2016 I'll be
65:19
surprised if uh I'll be surprised if that's a thing um so these stepping a
65:24
zero samples are that of the previously rumored 95 watt 8 cor n CPU um pretty
65:32
darn impressive I had seen numbers before where they were claiming I think
65:36
it was a 40% IPC improvement over their
65:39
previous CPUs which basically haven't changed in the last four years um I
65:44
don't even remember how long it's been since they haven't changed but
65:53
uh exciting very exciting I mean this
65:58
really doesn't tell us much we don't know how much that processor will cost
66:01
we don't know how much the motherboards will cost we don't know uh yeah we don't
66:07
know we don't know uh what it will boost up to in single-threaded uh workloads we
66:13
we really don't know much of anything but uh we do know that according to the
66:17
latest leak it's progressing well enough that the engineering samples have been
66:21
distributed to Partners for testing which also means that am motherboards
66:25
are going to be sampled as
66:28
well I interesting I am hoping hoping
66:33
Beyond hope that like cuz do you know
66:37
how many clicks we will get on a video
66:41
that's like Intel NVIDIA versus AMD top
66:45
gaming system Showdown do you have any idea it would
66:49
be so fun for there to be competition again we don't we don't want it to be a
66:54
blowout no that's not fun that's not
66:57
exciting to be completely honest if
67:01
AMD completely crowns everything and just wrecks that would still be fun that
67:06
would be really fun CU because AMD would have to be like or Intel would have to
67:10
be like and get back on it yeah the next two years we would see a response
67:14
from Team blue and Team Green that would make the whole thing exciting again if
67:19
team red loses by a relatively significant amount
67:24
that's not fun it might still be okay because even if they even if they even
67:29
if they perform by less buas like significantly less let's say 10% less
67:35
then all of a sudden the story of yeah but it's you know the boards are 20%
67:40
cheaper cost yeah and the CP is 20% cheaper but I'm talking wins or loses
67:44
I'm talking like the whole equation price performance is a very big part of
67:48
that equation if we can make more than like a budget value argument for it like
67:52
if we can make like a value gaming argument for like this is still high-end
67:56
gaming yes maybe not quite as highend but still very high-end gaming cheap
68:01
Athlon XP days okay where the board was cheaper the CPU was cheaper um AMD gave
68:08
you unlocked multiple in fact this could be a total reset to Athlon XP versus
68:14
pennium 4 which because of a video that I'm going to be releasing soon I've
68:18
actually dug back into a fair bit a fair bit more where AMD was not the
68:23
performance leader at the time but they had unlocked multipliers something Intel
68:28
wasn't willing to do um they were less
68:32
expensive and they were like pretty darn
68:36
good very close that would be cool competitive that would be cool um yeah
68:42
that that would be great I am super stoked on that no I'm not I'm not going
68:47
to let myself get stoked on that they've hurt me too many
68:51
times this was posted on the Forum by Nobel Harvard's original article is from
68:57
PC World I'll let you handle this one this looks interesting working on
69:02
posting the thing but I'll go off memory for the first little bit so a co-founder
69:06
of mazila is making his own kind of
69:09
browser I'm guessing he's breaking off and making his own kind of browser no
69:13
you has bed there for a while yeah probably not u i mean breaking off on
69:17
like I me in terms of like yeah don't worry about it I didn't mean from mail
69:21
anyways um it was first announced in Jan it has ad blocking built in it's called
69:27
Brave uh yeah it's going to eliminate
69:31
ads and then inject its own and give
69:35
some of that money to participating websites and will give some of that
69:40
money to viewers or users and it will pay you in
69:45
Bitcoin to replace like crappy ads with
69:49
safe ads
69:52
yeah and higher performance ads so that you
69:59
don't have to wait around for your page to load because of a slow slow ad server
70:06
so advertisers will pay for X number of
70:11
Impressions Brave Aggregates those payments into a sum the websites that
70:16
participate get 55% of the money then
70:20
they divvy up the remaining Bitcoin between itself the ad matching partner
70:25
so that would be a service like um like
70:28
Google AdSense but obviously not Google AdSense um and the users each getting a
70:34
15%
70:40
share wait what yeah one two so three
70:45
each getting 15% yeah so 45 plus 55 I
70:49
just how aggressive is this going to be is that we're going to place absolutely
70:52
every ad yada yada y because if it is doing that that's a little
70:57
rough um it will map users browsing
71:01
histories but vows that's a great word
71:04
vows not to track users through unique or persistent
71:08
identifiers and users will also have an
71:11
option to block all ads and pay websites
71:14
directly through Brave very interesting the free web is
71:19
dying yeah I mean I don't necessarily
71:22
think this will work at least not today but the free web is is in a very
71:29
is in a very dangerous place now again to be clear like I was in my ad blocking
71:35
fastest possible on the Techquickie Channel um I am not I'm not telling some
71:42
Saab story about boohoo wo is me people
71:45
because of ad blocker I can't feed my family I figured it out I'm okay my
71:50
business model allows me to bake ads into the video
71:54
to stream on Twitch to toir to sell
71:58
shirts to have contributors through our Forum uh we have Early Access on vessel
72:04
we have significantly Diversified our revenue
72:08
streams to account for that from one day
72:14
or week or month or year to another one
72:17
might outperform another things like uh Amazon affiliate Revenue just from
72:21
people using our link whenever they happen to be shopping on Amazon all
72:25
those kinds of things make us much less reliant on just straight Google AdSense
72:31
than we otherwise would be which to be clear it is still very very helpful um
72:37
and paid for that HDMI cable
72:41
um but not everyone is set up in such a
72:47
way that they can do that and ad
72:51
blocking does hurt them their
72:54
monetization so and like certain this is a response some some some places are
73:00
doing those like stupid annoying ads that are aggressive popups
73:06
or they play audio I don't remember what
73:09
website I was on not that long ago but it very much surprised me that they had a hidden ad that was playing audio God
73:15
that was annoying holy crap um or
73:18
they're moving or or there's tons of different way to be oh my God what yeah
73:24
there's so many annoying things that you can do with an ad we all know that but
73:29
the people that are trying not to be that annoying with ads and are getting
73:33
like companies to support them with direct sponsorship to put ads on their
73:36
website like small community Tech
73:40
forums that like get computer hardware
73:43
companies to sponsor them to put stuff on their page so that it's like you get
73:48
you get more money for it that is the reason why some of these forums are able
73:52
to exist if they just have had Google ads they wouldn't make as much money as
73:55
if they had directly targeted ads from Hardware vendors whatever Etc that
73:59
removes the possibility to do
74:02
that right and if you work with brave if you partner up with brave what does that
74:07
mean are you agreeing to how does that work in terms of like
74:13
so you're agreeing that users of the Brave browser will have the ads blocked
74:18
and you will since that was going to happen anyway as far as I can tell when
74:22
you're counting impressions trying to sell to other vendors you have to ex out
74:26
everyone using
74:31
Brave I don't know it's an interesting idea I'm interested to see how it plays
74:35
out posted by Tim Q on the Forum the rumored wow is the entire W
74:40
show NVIDIA this week well they had their conference thing right okay yeah I
74:45
guess this is just we're just looking at a picture like rumored revised
74:51
finally cooler design for the GTX 1080
74:55
and 1070 we don't actually know what they're going to be called graphics
75:03
cards so they've changed it a little I was just going to say you got all
75:07
excited for revised I've seen that picture it's not that
75:12
different we're going to add angles and
75:15
uh probably stop there I actually don't
75:19
like it better at all no I I looking at
75:23
this like I think we should do a video
75:26
on modding your GTX 1080 cooler to put
75:30
it like put like a tight X cooler on it cuz I think the Titan X cooler is the
75:34
best one just put a Titan X cooler on there call it a day because that thing
75:38
is just dog ugly buy a broken titanx or something y yeah you can usually get
75:42
coolers on eBay for like 40 bucks and let's face it if you bought a GTX 1080
75:46
you've got 40 bucks to spare so um she should be and some paint it should be no
75:51
problem and some time to watch my video on how to do it if I can figure out how
75:54
to do it without making a total disaster out of it with nail polish live on on
75:59
the W
76:03
show um yeah so there you go you know
76:07
what hey let's straw pull that straw pull that straw pull are you on it yeah
76:12
I'm on it I'm on it all right do you
76:15
like the new one better yes
76:20
no well you can't even really see it
76:23
um you can't see it not that oh come on
76:27
if you have an ounce of imagination sure you can can't see the the fan area and
76:33
like these leaks are I'm not going to say that this is what the 1080 will look
76:37
like but what I will say is that these leaks are usually fairly accurate like
76:43
no one no one goes out and does a fake
76:48
like this like with a crappy camera
76:51
phone Flash that like like are they in a closet or
76:55
something like what is this what is this tubing like it looks like they kind of
77:00
like ran off to a closet somewhere took a picture and then like ran back to
77:05
where they're supposed to be polishing them or whatever so
77:11
yeah looks pretty credible to me um
77:15
let's go ahead and have a look at that straw pole there because it's bad it's a
77:19
great version of that I hate the Apple
77:23
watch um turnip everyone's voting
77:27
everyone turnip thank you for that that's what I mean you can't really see
77:30
it that way so 27% of you do like the new one better so okay all right um what
77:36
is the lowest percentage Yeah by four by oh yeah
77:42
that's very close now wow that is very
77:45
very close so of the votes that are not people throwing them away we've got
77:50
about a 50/50 split okay well when you you make a change if half of the people
77:55
like it I mean that's actually not too bad yeah based on when we changed our
77:58
intro sequence based on when we changed our studio based on when we changed our
78:03
host based on when we changed our by far the vast majority of people liked the
78:07
change to the Forum just going to put that out
78:11
there yeah good job you want a cookie
78:14
well an Internet cookie maybe we can give a cookie to Catman and Colonel
78:19
moris all right so uh the tra or Victory
78:23
pose this is posted by Dragon Tamer one is to be removed from OverWatch after a
78:30
fan complains that it is over
78:33
sexualized um full statement can be found here I usually stay out of this
78:37
kind of stuff but this is ridiculous this
78:41
ridiculous what is sexual about that I
78:44
mean other than the fact that her butt crack is showing which to me has nothing
78:49
to do with the pose and everything to do with the character model and like any
78:53
like superhero model of anyone doesn't
78:56
matter if it's a girl doesn't matter if it's a guy you can see every like like
79:01
if you yeah if you've watched some of the uh the artists of comic books
79:06
talking a lot of the times the costume is literally basically skin right with a
79:13
different color right guys and girls yep
79:16
some of the guys will have skin but with like leather strapping as their clothes
79:21
which is like way more seual should I feel bad that like Batman has an eight
79:27
pack yeah
79:30
yeah look at any dude doing a military
79:33
crawl in any like comic book or superhero thing ever but all but like
79:40
just look at it I don't know what do you want me to say and like
79:43
this eyebrows raised like we're not even
79:46
like okay okay you look at this is really I don't know why I was I was
79:51
looking at this I think I posted a selfie on Instagram or Twitter or
79:54
something and I was noting that it had more interaction than most of the
79:58
pictures I post of hardware and I'm just like selfies really yeah and then and
80:03
then for some reason I ended up on Kim Kardashian's Instagram because well no I
80:08
was like blah blah blah I was like Googling like our selfies like the only
80:12
thing like the selfie Effectiveness on social media like I was doing research I
80:16
was actually doing work I ended up on Kim Kardashian's Instagram and like half
80:22
of the pictures are her doing this one pose and it's like looking back at the
80:28
camera like with the her eyes in the
80:31
corner of her eye or her pups in the corner of her eye and like kind of like
80:35
a softer duck face like it's they're just all the same picture and like
80:41
that's and and that's supposed to be provocative I think and like she's not
80:44
even doing this we're talking like she's barely even looking at the camera she's
80:48
not even looking at the camera eyebrow like arched there's there's nothing
80:51
seductive there's nothing sexy about this she did like the it's funny cuz
80:55
it's supposed to be a victory pose but she did the like spin around yeah that
80:59
you see in like tons of like old school action movies you know what I mean I
81:04
don't get this I get why blizzard is
81:07
just going to remove it because quite frankly I wouldn't want to deal with
81:11
this crap either I'm trying to contain my current thoughts about
81:16
blizzard but but yeah I also think that
81:20
that that's a dangerous path to walk down when you clearly really haven't
81:24
done anything wrong cuz the thing is like I understand people talking about the sexualization of women NVIDIA
81:29
games and like I'm looking right now and there's a Tomb Raider ad on the side and
81:32
she's like definitely 100% clothed to the point where you can barely tell that
81:36
she even has boobs so like maybe people need to understand that things are
81:39
changing a little bit but anyways um guys are super within the same Spectrum
81:45
like you were saying Batman has an eight pack or whatever Cloud carries around
81:49
like this giant freaking sword which is super un wieldable by like almost anyone
81:55
like dudes NVIDIA games look at anyone from Gears of War they like can't eat
81:59
and they're just completely jacked and ripped and like no one cares cuz it's a
82:04
video game
82:09
God anyways all right I think we got time
82:14
for maybe one more oh wow we have uh
82:17
we're way over time if we have yeah um uh uh uh uh oh there's still definitely
82:24
some good stuff in here but that's okay
82:28
stuff on a drone platform in the ocean
82:31
pretty sick you should look it up super cool uh oh Windows 10 Redstone one
82:37
anniversary update maybe they finally fixed the start menu nope not in there
82:41
that's a shame um yeah I had the start menu break on yet another Windows
82:45
install today and even trying the Powershell uh rebuild nonsense didn't
82:50
fix it I'm just okay I guess I'll just reformat again fine um
82:57
that's now okay I do want to do this one
83:00
this was uh oh I don't know who the original poster on the Forum was for
83:04
this one to be clear just because I
83:07
think it's fine that a video game character looks over her shoulder does
83:11
not mean that I think it's cool to spend $50,000 recreating Scarlet Johansson as
83:16
a robot well did did Scarlet Johansson say
83:19
it was okay no
83:24
okay so that's really weird yeah so
83:28
Ricky ma if Johansson was down like that's a completely different story yep
83:32
Ricky ma created the mark one um a year
83:36
and a half project with a budget of more than $50,000 is that like isn't that
83:40
quite literally illegal because you're not allowed to use a depiction of well
83:44
Lindsay Lohan is in the middle of a long what looks like it's going to be a long
83:48
legal battle with Rockstar over the uh blonde bikini character on the front of
83:54
grand five is it five I think so I don't I don't remember what Grand Theft Auto
83:58
it is anyway yeah I think it's GTA 5 I think you're right um saying that they
84:02
stole her likeness I don't know why Lindsay Lohan Imagines for a second that
84:06
she's every single blonde not even that
84:09
but at the time that Grand Theft Auto 5 was released that someone would consider
84:13
her even remotely relevant yeah um like
84:17
if you were going to model if you were going to model like your video game
84:20
cover after a sex symbol uh I don't know
84:23
why you would pick Lindsay Lohan in the
84:27
last year uh yeah there we go so this is
84:30
this is the claim and actually there's apparently a lot more of it than that
84:35
like the like the the actual filing to
84:38
take two is like okay here's all these
84:41
other examples but that doesn't necessarily that doesn't necessarily
84:46
mean that I personally think she has much of a case but um the the the chick
84:50
used in the photo looks super crazy generic so I don't know whatever anyway
84:56
so back to the holding holding an iPhone and a p symbol is also super crazy
85:01
generic yeah I don't know so because you
85:04
get a lot of pictures taken with you uh of you and you happen to hold a super
85:09
generic pose does not mean that that thing is a depiction of you I don't know
85:13
okay so the mark one is a robot um
85:17
includes face and color tracking functions looks just like Scarlet
85:23
Johansson and actually like shockingly really does um has a 3D printed skeleton
85:28
beneath silicon silicone I think is that's think that's a typo silicone skin
85:33
and uh he adopted a trial and error method to get the mark one to this point
85:37
uh ma believes that the importance of robots will only grow and hopes an
85:41
investor will give him the capital to build more he wants to write a book
85:45
about the experience to help other enthusiasts if he uses this robot for
85:50
commercial gain I I have got to imagine
85:55
that there is a lawsuit a big one one that she will win um that will he's
86:01
downright saying it is her right I don't actually know or does it just look a lot
86:06
like her a lot is an understatement I
86:10
mean yeah like the head is way too big
86:16
well yeah but that's I don't know if
86:20
that's necessarily no I'm just making R Comet like I I I don't know celebrities
86:26
I'm sure that looks kind of like whoever we're talking about but like her head
86:30
looks really big watch the actual person's head be
86:34
that big and I'm just yeah that would
86:38
suck my bad bunch of people in the chat are
86:42
saying creepy and stuff so apparently it is very similar huh yeah no it's it's
86:46
it's like creepy AF like it's it's like super groy um
86:52
yeah okay so the last topic for the day
86:55
uh posted by Nobel Harvard's on the Forum original article here is Tech
86:58
frags this is a rumor but like most
87:02
Intel rumors um it looks pretty credible
87:06
um I had already seen rumors of a Broadwell e Deca cor that's a 10 core um
87:12
high high performance Enthusiast desktop
87:16
processor the rumor now is it will break
87:19
with Intel's longstanding price tradition like it has been 10 years now
87:24
that they've been charging $9.99 for extreme editions and will apparently
87:28
cost $500 one hell of a step up so there will
87:33
be a the rumor also states there will be
87:36
an eight core like a direct replacement for the 5960x that will be also $1,000
87:42
and is just uh like a uh an architecture
87:45
change and then it will still be an8 core and this one is going to be a 10
87:50
Core 10 core at
87:53
$1,500 which is $1,950 Canadian now I had forgotten
87:58
about this but there was a previous
88:01
processor that launched at that price the QX 9550 that was a skull Trail chip
88:06
um and I believe you actually had to buy two of them although I may not remember
88:11
that um 95 9775 no whop I think I did
88:16
that wrong 9775 is that it C to extreme
88:20
is this is this skull skull Trail back in 2008 no no that might not be it I don't
88:26
I don't remember I don't remember sometimes my brain she don't work too
88:29
well so um yeah what are your thoughts on that
88:34
well it's like $2,000 Canadian dollars so my thoughts are I guess that's
88:38
something that I'll never see unless it's at work
88:42
yep cool I don't know hopefully uh
88:47
retail Edge hopefully they get a bunch of them
88:50
and flood the market and then they get really cheap all of a sudden I know I don't think so I don't see that
88:55
happening no probably not yeah it's happened before but
88:59
like yeah probably not oh apparently the
89:03
qx9775 um was not oh yeah no I think that was I
89:09
think that was skull tril lga771 yeah it was an Enthusiast chip on a server
89:13
platform much like what AMD did with the original FX processor the first uh the
89:18
first thousand FX extreme Edition you
89:22
know back when FX meant anything um processor so um yeah there you go good
89:28
luck with that Intel um L is kind of like Abed from Community I think people
89:32
will buy it but I don't um yeah I don't
89:36
I don't know who anyways we're way over Showtime now
89:41
thanks for watching guys we'll see you again next week same bad time same bad
89:48
Channel there goes
89:57
someone's like corai extreme 6969
90:03
X 6969 XXX yeah
90:08
dog do people really think that swearing at us will make us more likely to do an
90:12
Afterparty instead of a skull Trail they just call it like boob Trail boob Trail
90:17
yeah what's a boob Trail is that like a Treasure
90:20
Trail
