0:01 all right ladies and gentlemen welcome to the W show start

0:32 that aren't devote cranking engines the first one is WD acquires about tail

0:39 pipes WD does not acquire tail pipes WD

0:42 acquired sandis for $19 billion yeah

0:46 they stuffed 19 billion up their

0:49 tailpipe and that made them theirs prison rules man oh my god um also

0:56 YouTube did something with red YouTube read it's different than YouTube blue

1:02 it's less sad oh I feel bad for YouTube

1:07 listen up here's the story about a little I love that song guy that lived

1:12 in the red world and he paid for YouTube

1:16 and got some cool stuff except people don't like it but we'll talk about that

1:21 later sorry people don't like it Korean 10 terab PC and 8 tab SATA drives also

1:26 the USA is enforcing mandatory drone

1:30 registration I'm trying to more on that

1:33 in a minute every time I say more on I'm like that must be a stupid news

1:41 topic and

1:45 intro maybe that's the person's last

1:48 name more on that in a minute

2:11 visit gaming. logitech.com to learn more about like cool sweet Logitech stuff

2:16 yeah also freshbooks.com for cool

2:19 freshbook stuff yeah and

2:23 dollarshaveclub.com Linus for cool dollar stuff oh wait sorry shaving

2:27 shaving that's what it is shaving and butt wiping

2:30 okay and then I'm going to put this

2:33 here see how I blanked it now it'll load

2:36 right away next time what you just have to remember MP4 at the top to do no I

2:41 did I did I did because that's the end screen of the intro MP4 but we always

2:46 forget to do that well technically I'm

2:50 not the one that's in control yeah technically maybe if you would actually

2:57 um you know tail pip

3:01 I don't know where I'm going with this uh so we've got a great show for you

3:05 guys today we've got a ton of topics uh some of which are interesting some of

3:09 which are total shite but we won't talk about those ones for too long and um I'm

3:13 getting an ad for Wow Scouts versus zombies that can't be good someone take

3:19 oh this looks like one of those terrible joke movies

3:23 yeah Scouts Guide to the zombie apocalypse wow that looks awful sorry a

3:28 bunch of people in chat were saying that they have video feed um refresh the page

3:33 everything is good I was just making sure it's working I've got a lot of

3:36 people talking about Star Wars trailer hype I have not seen it what no no no

3:42 there's a reason there's okay I have a

3:46 policy I don't read the back of books okay I do not watch trailers okay that's

3:52 very fair that is my policy because I

3:55 take spoiler alerts to like like I have

4:00 no idea you just baited everyone don't read the chat today h well you can't

4:04 spoil a movie that's and and like there were no plot points I've talked to

4:07 Brandon about it already I've talked to Brandon which is all I need to know

4:11 Brandon says the trailer was flipping awesome I think there were minor PL

4:14 points okay well either way I will I will ignore it because I know the the

4:18 chat is going to be half full of people trolling anyway okay yeah yeah yeah so

4:22 it's fine it's fine they'll they just won't believe it the twitch chat will

4:26 literally cancel itself out yes in this case y it doesn't in most cases one type

4:31 of troll working against the other type of troll effectively trolling each other

4:36 um so anyway I have not watched it the internet because like even Game of

4:41 Thrones I have literally no idea what happens after the first book because I

4:45 am determined to wait until either all the books are out or George RR Martin

4:49 Dies at which point I will read all the books that are available and then I will

4:54 watch the entire show and I will binge watch it and that will be that's funny

4:57 because it's exactly my plan that will be exactly how it's going to go so I take this whole thing very seriously so

5:01 I don't even I watched the first Force

5:05 awakens trailer I let myself have that I

5:09 watched it I kind of went yep those are x-wings those are lightsabers this movie

5:14 cannot be bad oh it's char No no he's

5:17 not there that's good um so I am going

5:20 to uh so I'm going to wait I'm going to wait so people were asking for

5:24 Impressions my impressions are that I am cautiously optimistic that Abrams is not

5:29 going to do anything to my tailpipe with the new Star Wars movie and you know

5:34 what's funny I was looking at so that he will in just the right way yeah in just

5:37 the right way and he'll look me in the eye um so I was looking at top grossing

5:42 movies of all time and you know what's funny is even corrected for

5:47 today Star Wars is not that compe like

5:51 it's good it's good to be clear it's good corrected for today though yeah cuz

5:55 like you correct for inflation so like yeah but that's not fair cuz population

5:59 increased people who would be able to go to the

6:02 movie also increases but if anything that's Advantage modern movies so like

6:07 gone yeah Gone With the Wind is still the number one grossing movie of all

6:11 time corrected for inflation so uh here

6:14 let's let's just bring it up it's top grossing movies of all time there's like

6:18 a Wikipedia article which hopefully is somewhat somewhat accur see it's purple

6:21 I was just looking at it um so yeah when when you actually look at it Avatar

6:26 crushes everything by a long shot followed by Titanic Jurassic work world

6:29 is number three what what I had no idea

6:33 Jurassic world performed that well uh beat Avengers like really like I didn't

6:38 know that Jurassic Park as a as a

6:41 franchise had here I'll I'll screens share with you guys did you see Jurassic

6:45 world I haven't I want to I heard it wasn't that great I didn't think it was

6:48 very good I thought the only good thing about it was the The one dude that I

6:52 can't remember the name of right now I'm terrible with actor names yeah we know

6:55 if we ever make a show about movies don't bring me out yeah you're not invited yeah yeah

7:00 um but yeah so I think I'd have fairly good comments but I wouldn't know who anyone is and that would be kind of

7:04 weird but like looking looking at this I kind of go you know you compare Marvel

7:08 right like Marvel Comics and the reach that something like that has compared to

7:13 the reach of the Star Wars universe and I would have expected even the crappy

7:18 Star Wars movies to perform relatively

7:22 better than that compared to like all the Avengers and all these Iron Man 3

7:27 all these Marvel movies like this is this this is the top Star Wars movie I'm

7:31 surprised Pirates of the Caribbean stranger Tides did more than like Toy

7:34 Story 3 Iron Man here let's look at the

7:38 corrected one so here's the corrected one so Star Wars itself the first movie

7:44 actually Compares very favorably but the

7:48 other movies actually were nothing special and and Phantom Menace is

7:52 probably the most telling one so Star

7:55 Wars fans are fans of Star Wars kind of

7:59 regardless of whether they go see the movie or are even a fan of the movie I

8:03 guess was my realization like Star Wars is so much more than the movie so I'm

8:06 not even sure if this movie being amazing or being a total flop will

8:11 actually impact anything about the Star

8:14 Wars universe and its success as a franchise because you could argue Star

8:19 Wars is the most recognizable brand that

8:22 came from a movie ever that came from a movie

8:27 Yes didn't the books orig no no no Star Wars Star Wars the an New

8:33 Hope was the first Star Wars thing okay

8:37 um and and yet they actually you know

8:41 compared to especially in recent times

8:44 like in in the generation that you know I grew up in haven't really performed

8:50 that well at the box office I mean I'm not saying a billion dollars is anything to sniff at I'm just saying that for

8:54 what an international phenomenon Star Wars is I I just would have expected it

8:58 to to outperform Pirates of the Caribbean you know there's a fair amount

9:02 of people saying like random things in chat like Harry Potter I saw a couple

9:07 times more than one person that's from a book for sure

9:11 yes yeah I mean I like Frozen did 1.27 n

9:16 billion I'm kind of looking at this going really really like I I mean yeah

9:19 it was a good movie I saw it but like a lot of people saw Frozen I know a

9:24 lot of people saw Frozen I I get it appealed to all ages Let It Go and all

9:28 that noise but I just if you compare the

9:33 the fleetingness of what Frozen's impact

9:36 will be on on popular culture like yes

9:41 it will it's heav it's highly impactful now and if they do a sequel then it will

9:46 it will get some more momentum but you compare that to what Star Wars has done

9:51 over the last what 707 I wonder what

9:54 Global warming's Effect will be on the Frozen franchise

10:01 yeah I think that's been done with Ice Age so you know where Glo where like the

10:06 the planet heating up affects the no I mean it'll be kind of like not really a

10:11 thing at one point it'll be like because it's based in so what where is it based

10:16 in Queen Elsa is going to combat the Norway oh I don't know it's based in

10:21 like an actual like the and the the kings that visit and stuff are from like

10:24 actual places oh I did not know that yeah it's I read something about it

10:28 Scandinavia somewhere I think right yeah yeah yeah so like those places might not

10:32 be Frozen at some point no but I thought

10:36 it's like her power that made it frozen or some crap oh so that it won't matter

10:40 yeah okay okay so you're bad at actors and movie plots well no cuz they're from

10:46 a place that was like when when she's a kid they're like pulling ice out of the

10:49 lake okay tell me this Indiana Jones carries a whip or a crowbar a whip okay

10:56 just making sure because I don't know you might have had confused with

11:00 beginning the movie they're cutting ice out of the lake to take back for like

11:04 cooling stuff down like they're in a very cold area right but that's cuz they

11:08 don't like her power is also freezing things yeah okay all right all right oh

11:13 no our polar bears will have nowhere to go people are like Luke just

11:17 stop what I wasn't even wrong apparently

11:20 it is Norway so it's very cold there that's good you should just stop you

11:25 should just stop we should both just stop that's it for the show thanks for

11:29 we're done thanks for tuning in to movie chat Friday we will see you guys next

11:34 time all right why don't we do an actual topic here um the US is planning to

11:41 enforce mandatory drone registration

11:44 with the transportation department by Christmas they are taking this ball and

11:51 running with it this is wait what well

11:54 how this is a stupid stupid article how

11:58 does Apple owing a bunch of money for patent violation have anything to do

12:02 with drone registry way to go stuff.tv you don't even know what your article is

12:07 about this is like a two line art I'm going to go to nbcnews.com and I'm going

12:11 to link people to that yeah link people to that so let's go ahead and pull lot

12:15 more interesting so according to NBC News the US federal government plans to

12:19 require all flying drones to be registered with with the US Department

12:23 of Transportation by Christmas and

12:26 basically this will what's up oh is the NBC site not even loading down I don't

12:31 know man damn maybe usnews.com anyway so

12:36 they're going to be working with the Drone manufacturers to put a system in

12:40 place that and and with retailers presumably that at the time of purchase

12:44 will require people to you sell it register that drone so there's going to

12:49 be a lot of issues obviously the system

12:52 is not going to be perfect immediately and people are going to find a way

12:55 around it and there's there's no clear

12:59 system in place for what happens to all the drones that are out there today what

13:03 happens to hobbyist drones say what if you build your own yeah if you build your own I mean maybe they would make

13:07 you register the chassis but you could

13:10 build your own motor but then who cares maybe it would be the controller board

13:15 or something like that like if you could get the pretty sure you can make like uh

13:19 I almost just had a name of a mod on our for erino uh I think you can get uh like

13:24 Raspberry Pi or whatever ones yeah you

13:27 you can so so it's it's it's not really clear to me how they would regulate

13:31 these these custom drones but the point is that um I have a feeling this is

13:35 going to be kind of sort of like this is going to

13:39 get a little bit controversial but I think it's I have a feeling it's going to be kind of sort of like gun laws but

13:43 even easier to get around where like the gangsters aren't going to Care like the

13:47 people that are going to do something illegal with it aren't going to care and they're going to just go around it and

13:51 then it's just going to be annoying for the people that try to use it properly

13:54 yeah so they're apparently trying to take public feedback um into a camp as

13:59 the as the rules are formed uh but there's there's a lot of there's a lot

14:03 of questions will there be a registration fee uh should certain

14:07 drones be exempt from registration what constitutes a drone you know are are we

14:12 are we talking like this thing now I

14:16 mean I think there there are some guidelines with respect to the the

14:19 functionality of them but I mean it's not like in the next five years you

14:23 wouldn't expect to be able to buy micro drones that can mostly pilot themselves

14:27 that have uh firstperson View cameras and as the electronics get smaller and

14:31 cheaper so so so would I have to register this thing I mean if that gots

14:35 if you know like a parrot mini drone get sucked into a jet turbine it's going to

14:39 disintegrate it's not going to

14:42 yeah um and it obviously can't fly that

14:46 high so this all comes on the on the heels of a a huge number of obvious

14:53 violations of the existing laws where people are flying them next to airports

14:57 flying them next to Forest fires uh flying them around in the city at night

15:02 when you know if it fell out of the air for whatever reason let's face it Flyway

15:05 drones are a thing where if it fell out of the air it could hit someone's dog or

15:09 child or um you know yeah otherwise cause a problem y

15:14 yeah so the Consumer Electronics Association predicts something to the

15:18 tune of 700,000 drones will be sold this holiday season so that's all that's a

15:23 lot of potential potential hazards uh

15:26 flying around in the air I can understand why they're doing it I can understand why drone enthusiasts are mad

15:31 but most of the reasonable drone enthusiasts that I've either talked to

15:35 or seen posting online are directing their hate at the people who are just

15:40 screwing around with them screwing around with them doing particularly

15:43 stupid things because let's face it the laws in Canada are kind of dumb like you

15:48 literally cannot fly a drone pretty much anywhere in a in a city because you you

15:53 can't be within I forget what it is I think it's like a 100 meters of an

15:56 animal or person and it's just like okay

16:01 uh you can't be I I forget what the rules are with respect I think you're

16:05 not allowed to be in a park you're not allowed to this you're not allowed to

16:08 that like there's all this stuff you can't be within a certain amount of animals or people but then you also

16:13 can't go to a park so you just can't go to anywhere right so basically you it it

16:17 pretty much is like yeah you can't fly them um so I'm just like

16:23 okay but no one was really enforcing that until people started doing really

16:28 really stupid St stuff with them so that's that's basically that's basically

16:32 where we're at on that uh this is kind of a big deal uh our original article

16:36 here is from overclock 3d. net let's go

16:39 ahead and pull that up but WD has been

16:43 confirmed to be in the process of acquiring SanDisk for $19

16:49 billion so for those of you who are not familiar with Western

16:54 Digital they make hard drives uh for those of you not familiar with SanDisk

16:59 they make uh flash products so you know SD cards compact flash cards OSS ssds as

17:04 well uh basically what Western Digital is seeking to do here should be fairly

17:08 obvious they are trying to gain actual

17:12 manufacturing capacity for solid state

17:15 products because they've dabbled before WD has had hybrid drives for example

17:20 they had that um that black squared product that actually had like a 128 gig

17:26 SSD and a hard drive and they were like in one and it was like kind of a bizarre

17:29 product yeah um but unless you own

17:34 manufacturing capabilities you're always going to be paying someone else to

17:39 manufacture The Flash chips for you so

17:43 you're never going to be price competitive in a commodity market like

17:46 storage so Western Digital basically

17:50 went okay let's bite the bullet now's the time we're going to go ahead we're

17:53 going to acquire someone with actual Fab capacity and they bought SanDisk for uh

17:58 for for 19 billion now it is contingent

18:02 on Western Digital is getting something to the tune of I think $3 billion in

18:06 funding for X percentage of their company from some Capital firm something

18:10 something so so there's actually two different proposed prices one if that

18:14 deal goes through which will be sometime I think second half of 2016 okay and

18:18 then there's this price and then there's another price if it doesn't go through

18:22 which it is expected that SanDisk would reject if that were the case so WD is

18:26 not putting themselves in a bind where they might not actually have the cash to

18:30 do this when the time comes uh which is pretty smart but it looks like if all

18:35 goes according to plan WD will have the

18:38 entire gamut covered p s now it's official it's official that that the

18:43 deal which is contingent upon those

18:47 conditions is in place okay yeah so the

18:51 like the the actual shares and cash have not actually changed hands um so this

18:56 will allow Western Digital to bring hard drive ssds and hybrid products to Market with

19:03 cost costs on both of them the only thing that WD would then be missing is

19:08 actual actual like not because they can

19:12 manufacture the chips themselves so they wouldn't actually be developing Nan

19:17 flash technology like someone like Micron Intel with their joint venture or

19:21 uh like someone like uh Samsung is doing

19:25 so so there you go I mean this is really interesting um like one of the notes

19:28 says in the doc this is combining two massive storage providers and like WD as

19:33 everyone knows are legendary in terms of hard drives and then SanDisk is huge

19:38 actually in terms of like camera storage too SD cards very well respected both

19:43 are very well respected for their quality and the longevity of their product so so this is a pretty huge

19:48 merger actually yep uh SanDisk has been working very closely with tashiba

19:53 another actual nand technology company

19:56 um and the only statement that I've seen about that so far is that that will

20:00 continue so uh yeah what a what a really

20:04 interesting what a situation for someone like a Seagate out there kind of looking

20:10 at this going okay well that leaves us

20:13 uh not a whole cuz there are not a lot of companies that actually manufacture

20:18 flash chips like very few very few

20:22 companies own Fabs and now W A lot of them are in Partnerships and stuff

20:27 already yep so best of luck to uh best

20:31 of luck to seate and

20:34 yeah I'll be interested to see how they tackle this uh here this is interesting

20:39 YouTube Red so why don't we why don't we jump right into this um original article

20:44 here is from recode YouTube will make you pay to see

20:49 some of its new videos which is actually and like a lot

20:56 of people's coverage of this topic actually a little misleading they are

21:01 not going to be necessarily YouTube's videos I am

21:06 aware that there are some creators we are not among them there are some

21:09 creators out there that have been approached to do exclusive like like

21:13 YouTube Originals content but it's not

21:17 100% clear to me that YouTube would own those videos and it's also not 100%

21:22 clear what would happen to that content in the very long term um it's possible

21:27 that like our arrangement with vessel where the content is behind a pay wall

21:32 and then comes out onto the free platform later so so it's not clear if

21:36 it would be a similar Arrangement or not but I do want to clear up some of the

21:41 general misconceptions about YouTube Red because much like our video where we

21:47 announced that we were going to start launching our videos on vessel and in

21:51 the first 30 seconds of that video I said we are not abandoning YouTube half

21:56 of the comments under the video why are you why are you staying on YouTube why

22:00 are you abandoning YouTube that was insane that was actually insane and it

22:04 feels like from even some fairly large

22:07 creators I've seen some really ignorant statements about this like did you even

22:12 bother to read the YouTube blog post

22:16 just read the blog post this is this is very simple okay if you're not being

22:23 commissioned to make YouTube Originals

22:26 content it's business as usual

22:29 everything is normal everything is fine everybody calm down nothing is changing

22:34 ad supported YouTube is not going

22:38 anywhere and I doubt will ever go anywhere because ad supported is a

22:43 legitimate model what YouTube's doing is they are adding a tier they're adding a

22:48 premium service that exists on top of in addition to the the ad supported free

22:55 model and what you get in return for a I think it's A9 .99 subscription is you

23:00 get YouTube music one month free uh after one month free you get YouTube

23:04 music which um and then you get YouTube

23:07 gaming which YouTube gaming I'm actually not 100% sure what the benefit is of

23:10 having a subscription but you get YouTube music which means that you can

23:14 um you can listen to music in the background you can uh you can download

23:18 things uh so in okay so hold on let stay focused on red anyway so so YouTube

23:22 music's not launched we'll talk about that later so YouTube Red allows you to

23:25 save videos to watch offline it allows you to play back in the background while

23:29 you do other things without interruptions both of which are very cool features and they allow you to

23:34 watch videos with no ads so what that means is your membership fee that you

23:39 pay and it's actually not 100% clear how

23:43 much the split is so it looks like they're saying their quote is the vast

23:48 vast majority of Revenue will go to creators but it's also been mentioned

23:52 that creators would be paid the standard 55% um and then and then the way that it

23:58 works is the money from your YouTube Red subscription will be split among the

24:02 creators that you watch according to watch time which as we know is YouTube's

24:06 primary metric that they're looking for in terms of of gauging the popularity of

24:12 a channel and the and the one should release Excellence of a video and all

24:15 that kind of stuff like a 24hour random video just so you can be like I want to

24:20 support this channel mainly and just idle it when you're not there that's

24:24 called gaming the system and we don't participate in that our one and a half

24:29 hour our one and a half hour podcast not

24:32 withstanding so playlist okay so there

24:37 there are a lot of questions here that that do remain even though the actual

24:41 premise of this is very simple no ads being able to download videos officially

24:45 and watch them later and uh being able to to have them continue to play back in

24:50 the background all of download videos officially yep so you can download them

24:54 watch them later yeah so through the app you can CH just read content or of all

24:59 YouTube content is red content that's another thing a lot of creators are like

25:02 super upset that I meant like red Originals oh yeah no nothing to do with

25:06 red Originals all content so a lot of creators are upset that they're being

25:09 forced into this agreement I I don't really see why they care why does it why

25:13 does it matter nothing our audience at Super doesn't matter because they could

25:17 just download the videos anyways yeah changes they probably know how to do

25:20 that yeah really it changes nothing all it means is that

25:26 instead of an AdSense Revenue that you get for that view you're getting a red

25:30 Revenue split share and in theory based

25:34 on based on yeah in theory it would be higher unless people are very very heavy

25:39 consumers for their $10 a month which they're not like I've run the numbers a

25:43 view is not worth a lot of money like a single view so and another thing too is

25:49 some some creators are are are upset

25:53 okay so first of all Why YouTube is forcing all creators into this is

25:56 because that's the whole service is

25:59 YouTube without ads so yeah you're going to need as a

26:03 Creator you're going to need to sign up and it's all beneficial to you because

26:07 people can either choose to pay or they cannot and then we've got creators that

26:10 are kind of uh worried about well hold

26:13 on a second that means that I'm not getting my ad revenue for that so then

26:20 but hold on what if I'm oh hold on what if I'm in an area where YouTube Red

26:23 hasn't launched we're a perfect example YouTube Red is launching in the US

26:27 exclusively for now so what if someone's a YouTube Red subscriber and they watch

26:32 our video but we're not a YouTube Red

26:36 Creator we're not getting a payout or are we so this is this is all not very

26:41 clear but what I will say to the

26:45 creators out there and to the viewers out there is I wouldn't stress about it

26:49 I I really don't think this is a big deal I was looking at it last night and

26:53 um I was looking at it last night and only about a third of our views in the

26:59 last month on YouTube were monetized all of our videos have

27:03 monetization enabled so whenever you click on our videos and there's no ad

27:06 that means that view was not monetized or you have ad block um so what that

27:11 means to me is that even if a so so 40%

27:14 of our audience is in the US so it's so even if a fraction of a fraction of our

27:20 audience subscribes there's plenty of plenty of video views left over for

27:27 people who who are not having views monetized thankfully we have a lot of

27:31 people that help us in other ways like the Amazon affiliate codes like the

27:35 shirts like the Forum contributions but even without that my point remains

27:41 business as usual on both the Creator side and on the viewer side you

27:47 shouldn't care with the one exception being the YouTube original content but

27:53 the cold hard truth there is that if YouTube is funding this content to be

27:58 created and it wouldn't have existed without it then if you want it that

28:03 badly much like the PewDiePie game is a perfect example do you think you should

28:07 get that for free because you watch him on YouTube or something like if it's

28:11 something that wouldn't have existed otherwise then guess what you got to pay

28:15 to play um a lot of people have asked us what we have planned for YouTube Red so

28:20 far nothing um my YouTube contacts have

28:23 not talked to me about it at all it's not being rolled out in Canada so I can

28:27 understand why they wouldn't have talked to to me at all um we have committed

28:32 many times to our viewers that our content will always be free it may be

28:36 windowed released periods it may be this it may be that whatever but you will

28:41 always have access to all of our content for free so depending on the structure

28:45 of the YouTube Red payroll pay wall we might do something with it but only if

28:49 it would be a windowed release and we could release it to everyone eventually and so so yeah right now business as

28:55 usual and if you don't like it you probably miss misunderstood what it was

28:59 because it's nothing it makes no difference y I plan to subscribe cuz I

29:04 already subscribed to Google Play music for eight bucks a month so it's another $2 a month for to not see ads on videos

29:10 so yep I'm going do it but um does it still have the family thing uh I'm not

29:15 sure I'm not sure but if it does you can still be my

29:19 family um sorry for people couple people started mentioning I'm doing weird

29:23 things with my jaw and stuff I'm currently deaf in my left ear and it's

29:26 actually very weird being on the show

29:30 that's why I'm also doing this looking behind his head so I can hear him with this here sorry we should have switched

29:35 sides today I've got a lot of people asking what this means for vessel nothing um our vessel contract is still

29:40 very much in place so our videos will be a week early on vessel and anything we

29:44 were to do with YouTube Red would be

29:47 within the confines of our existing release schedule so if it was if you

29:52 know YouTube came to us and said something like okay you know we're going

29:56 to do windowed release for YouTube Red content and I was kind of looking at it

30:00 going okay so we'd have a one we window on vessel another week window on red and

30:06 I I I don't know if we're going to do a two we two we release window here um so

30:12 we would probably not participate at least until the landscape becomes more

30:17 clear to us um in that case but uh right

30:21 now as a Creator everything's very up in the air clear as mud but it

30:26 also totally doesn't matter because you can completely ignore it and everything

30:30 will be the same yes which is fine which is good if you don't want ads and you

30:35 want YouTube music and stuff sure if not

30:39 don't worry about it yeah I'm totally uh I'm I'm totally going for it as soon as

30:43 it's available I'm super super stoked are we

30:47 that deep into the show already it's 520 how is it 520 520 uh why don't we do

30:51 this next thing real quick then sure uh large Esports Max fit Max fing match

30:56 fixing thank you uh revealed in Korea one coach and two

31:01 players arrested so basically I'm going to get a link going fairly soon but if

31:07 lius could take over because I'm currently posting a l why is there an NC

31:11 ad on teamliquid.net that's awesome yeah

31:15 I can buy uh oh this must be like a Google ad or something I was I was

31:20 looking at uh server server Essentials R2 last night mine was TD isn't TD a

31:25 Canadian Bank yeah yeah it's localized Toronto Dominion so Prime Starcraft 2

31:30 head coach Gerard and programmers Yoda

31:33 and whoa I bought this last

31:38 night yeah I didn't know that I looked for a camera once on one website and

31:43 like every website I went to that had Google ads after that had this kind of

31:46 stuff but I didn't know ncx was this clever I didn't know they

31:51 targeted ads that like that back when I

31:54 worked there they we didn't have any of any any we didn't what people were

31:58 viewing and then hit them with ads about

32:02 it so so this is anyway this is I wonder if Google has a tool or something that

32:07 seems likely yeah um all right sorry go ahead I don't did I say programmers I

32:13 meant PR Gamers my bad um Yoda and bong

32:16 bong there's two bees on bong bong I hope I'm saying bong bong correctly have

32:20 been arrested in connection with match fixing in Korea sorry boom b boom B Bo

32:26 anyway yeah sorry I'm not familiar with this particular

32:29 gamer uh where was I again 12 individuals have been arrested in total

32:33 including Financial backers and a journalist who act acted as a broker two

32:37 of the financial backers were ex gangsters Who provided the funds uh for

32:42 betting to occur on illegal websites five matches were found to have been

32:46 fixed I think it was around like nine grand um us yeah Gerard will uh was

32:53 charged with receiving equivalent of about about 9,000 USD um all these

32:58 figures are apparently approximate and Yoda to intentionally lose a match in

33:02 GSL season 1 yeah yeah so uh so there so there you

33:07 go so basically um they're going to jail

33:11 yep and they've been banned for

33:14 life um uh from the uh Korean Esports

33:19 Association and uh so and kespa I don't

33:24 know if we call it that but I don't care uh has said that even if the criminal

33:27 suit even if the criminal charges don't end up uh putting these guys in in jail

33:33 or anything like that they're still going to be pursuing uh a civil case

33:36 against them um they're yeah basically they're they're taking it very seriously

33:40 and so they should this kind of stuff is

33:44 total crap and undermines all the efforts of everyone else in so many

33:48 people in in Esports the fight to make Esports as legit as possible has been

33:54 huge and crap like this continuing to happen is just hard and yes we know it

34:00 happens in every sport I get it but they're they're currently going through

34:05 growing pains and it makes it that much worse

34:09 yep I'm going to turn down our saturation a little bit had someone

34:13 complaining we're too saturated all right so what else what else we got this

34:17 is just a quick one but uh here we go

34:20 Akiba pc. watch. impress. co.jp is our

34:25 source for this one this is great um so so pretty much we've got confirmation

34:30 that there's an 8 tbte SATA SSD in the

34:35 making right now with a 10 tbte PCI

34:38 Express SSD also in the making right now

34:42 is amazing I know right oh my

34:46 God PC hotline man that's great oh my goodness

34:53 we're probably the only visitor on this site right now look at how far it goes

34:57 down when there's no content left it just keeps

35:03 going there we go okay so here we go

35:07 that's the site and it's over and it's finally done

35:13 and a banner ad I I really hope these guys aren't paying too much for that ban

35:17 ad placement cuz that is terrible oh wck um

35:22 so basically there's not too much to say about this other than that as expected

35:26 SSD capacity continues to rise uh this

35:30 is a Korean company called Nova chips that's working on them um they're using

35:35 a technology called hyperlink Nan so it's this Daisy ring architecture that

35:41 outpaces the parallel bus architecture used in industry standard n flash

35:45 products apparently um yeah point to

35:49 point ring you can pre-order it today on osc.com in Japan but you would basically

35:55 be a complete idiot if you were to do that because the pricing is about

35:59 $10,400 for the 8 TB SATA 3 SSD and

36:04 $15,600 for the 10 TB PCI Express SSD

36:09 wow and they're not estimated to ship for another 3 to four months depending

36:13 on the skew wow so given the volatility of flash pricing I would probably just

36:19 wait till it's on a shelf maybe it'll be $8,000 honestly that's the conclusion of

36:24 so many things these days it's just just just wait

36:28 just wait honestly at one point in time pre-ordering games wasn't that bad well

36:33 yeah they only asked for like a retainer yeah yeah you just put your five bucks

36:37 down and you could actually cancel your pre-order yeah now it's like NOP no no

36:41 it's yours now we gave you early access it's yours

36:45 nope buy the whole thing immediately so and the season passed by the season pass

36:49 too we'll give you like five bucks off yeah what the hell is that oh my god um

36:55 on that subject here we've got collectors itions not coming with

36:58 seasons passes yeah I know right what

37:01 it's like well we did give you like a sick you know metal tin yeah say it came

37:06 with a metal tit case collector's edition limited edition oh damn you know

37:10 what everything is technically limited edition that's true there is not an

37:14 unlimited amount of anything you're a limited

37:19 edition um so on that subject it's

37:22 unusual for a hardware maker to get involved in this kind of nonsense but

37:26 Sapphire maker of graphics cards put an

37:30 opinion piece on their

37:34 blog about pre-ordering and you can obviously tell

37:38 based on the Assassin's Creed Unity screenshot that they got going on at the

37:42 top of the blog post here that they're not in favor of pre-ordering uh but yeah

37:47 basically they're just like yeah blah blah blah paay a test it hurts the whole

37:51 industry today you have to put all this money on the table um

37:57 that's really I had no idea this was even in the dock 50 DLCs of pre-ordering

38:02 gray that's kind of a cute uh subheader there yeah but yeah there is so B

38:07 basically the the the the qu the the question at the end is this so there's

38:11 nothing about the current prepaid model that helps or is good for PC Gamers or I

38:15 would say Gamers at all how do we fix this it's easy stop pre-ordering the

38:20 group pre pre-order thing is so

38:23 crap God I hate that Tomb Raider did it

38:26 too and they're just like oh the more people that pre-order convince your

38:30 friends no shut up don't convince your

38:33 friends God like drug sales tactics well

38:38 it's it's like when get your friends hooked when the stupid elementary school

38:41 is like yeah go to everyone's door in your neighborhood and make them buy

38:44 random crap those assemblies which should be straight up

38:49 illegal God those are [ __ ] I cannot

38:52 believe at any level sorry this has always pissed me off even when I was a

38:56 little kid I can't believe it's legal on any level to take everyone out of class

39:00 put them in an assembly and give them a sales pitch that they have to push towards their parents so they can win a

39:04 stupid toy what the

39:09 hell how how is this okay anyway now in

39:13 certain cases it was used as a legitimate fundraiser for legitimate

39:18 things that you legitimate needed also

39:23 also I won the five the 5B the 5B

39:28 Hershey bar at my school one year so get

39:32 wrecked you're probably just jelly I literally never did it you're literally

39:36 just jelly and my parents I don't even know if they would have stopped me or

39:39 not but I was like this is dumb your parents are literally jelly I got a real

39:43 job and I could have just bought the five you know how much chocolate I had

39:48 Get Wrecked I could have just bought it

39:51 my my dad made me share it with my class I was so mad like Beyond

39:58 beyond beyond all mad like I had to help cut it up oh into

40:05 chunks to give to all my classmates I was like I would rather just not eat it

40:10 I would I would rather mount it to the wall

40:14 forever that totally sounds like you

40:17 too no I W this uh let me see if I can find the one

40:22 yeah here there's I've got some pictures online this so this is the one that I

40:26 this is the one that I that I won yeah was one of those yeah yep 5B Hershey bar

40:31 apparently they're more common than I had thought got lots of people

40:35 apparently there's a whole thing oh there's a whole thing of them yep there you go herey 5 pound chocolate bar

40:40 everyone's excited I would have been excited too if I didn't have to share

40:46 it uh what were we talking about po line is we're talking about pre-ordering

40:50 games we ended up there um speaking of

40:54 pre-ordering the HTC A9 oh yeah um okay

40:59 what's their point I don't get it oh that was this is so mean the ver the

41:04 verge's headline how to

41:08 copy okay see how they cleverly capitalized the T which normally

41:13 wouldn't be capitalized ah ah because of that campaign yeah yeah so the iPhone

41:19 clone could be the one I'm waiting for

41:23 um so basically it's kind of a a mid tier spec phone it's got a Snapdragon

41:28 617 which is super not that exceptional

41:33 um it's got a 1080p front facing camera which is which is kind of nice um I do

41:38 support the better selfie camera thing um because yeah for better for worse I

41:43 do find myself taking them from time to time with my kids that's my excuse take

41:48 them okay sorry not not not not caring about selfies but what is what is this I

41:53 don't understand HTC President says we're not copying app it's Apple that

41:58 copies us what oh okay so that that's a

42:01 separate article we're discuss that later but no we can we can tie that in

42:05 here so I wanted to give a brief rundown of the phone it has kind of middling

42:09 specs um it's good enough uh it comes in

42:12 at a fairly reasonable price in the US so it's $3.99 off contract uh it's not

42:17 clear to me if this will be a carrier phone or not D D D D D D D not sure the

42:23 Verge article doesn't cover it um but basically yeah it's got supposedly a

42:28 really great headphone jack so like a better deck that's actually something a

42:31 lot of guys are talking about uh rumors about the Galaxy S7 seem to indicate

42:35 that Samsung is putting a lot of emphasis on on better better sound

42:39 quality they're putting a really great deck in it um personally I haven't

42:43 really had an issue with anything from the past couple of generations and I

42:46 suspect most people don't either but yeah hey what going improve things now

42:51 yeah yeah where you going to improve things well the battery yeah improve the

42:55 battery than thank you God now I don't

42:58 have to say it um well apparently HTC thought they could improve their phone

43:03 by basically copying the iPhone from

43:08 pretty much every possible angle so this is Again The Verge like holy crap the

43:14 only differences that I can see between this and an iPhone are that it says HTC

43:19 on the back um like there's more buttons on

43:23 this side instead of that side and the

43:27 camera bump is in the middle instead of there I mean even looking at the bottom

43:31 there's there's more pictures here even looking at the bottom oh my god wow yep

43:37 yep that's that's a very similar thing that you're doing there pretty crazy hey

43:41 wow that's closer than I even thought and

43:44 so so in light of the accusations that

43:48 HTC has copied Apple's industrial design

43:52 uh HTC uh president has come out and said we're not copying out Apple it's

43:57 Apple that copies us we this is this is great we came up with the idea of

44:02 putting an antenna band on the phone like this apple copied that no I don't

44:07 think that's a design choice I think if Apple could avoid an antenna underwear

44:11 line they would probably do

44:15 it oh no um poor

44:20 HTC just so silly with that said so so

44:25 this this phone doesn't seem to oh to clear the 3.99 uh pricing is pre-order

44:30 only so it's going to be going up to I think $4.49 but don't quote me on that

44:35 um basically I see where they're going with this because while this phone is

44:40 not really capturing the hearts of enthusiasts I was actually on the XDA

44:43 Developers podcast earlier this week which I don't know if they've posted yet

44:47 because I should probably like pimp that spot it was actually pretty good podcast

44:51 I enjoyed it um while it's not

44:55 necessarily winning over like the tech heads I can see this selling in a store like

44:59 if I was shopping in a store and I didn't have enough money for an iPhone

45:03 and this HTC the one thing they have done well is the fit and finish of the

45:08 phone so if they achieve that fit and finish and they compromis some specs to

45:12 have it feel really good in the hand I think they could sell a ton of units I

45:16 think there's potential there for that

45:21 um yeah I mean I'm really disappointed that it has a really really really small

45:29 battery it's uh 21 something 21 something it's about 2100 milliamp hours

45:34 so uh HTC claims that the battery life with the phone is going to be very good

45:39 but my sort of counter to that would be well you're running Android marshmallow

45:43 it'll be one of the first phones with Android marshmallow so you're running

45:46 Android marshmallow uh which is probably where your power savings is coming from

45:51 so every other phone that actually also has a decent battery is also going to be

45:55 running marshmallow assuming it gets the upgrade so this is a very apples to

45:59 oranges comparison or at least it it would be if uh Android phones ever got

46:04 updates a whole other conversation Sor it's a 2150 milliamp

46:08 battery um I guess I don't know sponsor spots yes sure so sponsoring today's

46:12 episode we've got Dollar Shave Club Dollar Dollar

46:17 Shave Club Dollar Dollar Shave Club Dollar Dollar Shave Club do they have a

46:22 jingle no that wouldn't be it no no no

46:26 it wouldn't anyway so the point of Dollar Shave Club is that if you want to shave your face or your legs or your

46:31 chest or your arms or your butt crack whatever it is that you want to shave

46:35 Dollar Shave Club has high quality razors and they ship them straight to

46:39 your door so if you're worried about going out in public with a hairy butt

46:43 cracky that could be a thing you I mean you think about you know what

46:48 what or n Beach what' Your mother tell you right always wear clean underwear

46:52 because you never know when you're going to get hit by a bus right shave your

46:56 butt crack don't go out without shaving your butt crack that's the new sale

46:59 anyway sorry that's not the new sales pitch so basically high quality razor

47:03 straight to's shave butter would probably help with that MH for a few

47:06 bucks a month and one WIP Charlie they've got lots of great they've got

47:10 lots of great bathroom supplies uh razors Dr Carver shave butter that goes

47:14 on clear so you can see what you're doing might need a mirror for certain

47:17 things to see what you're doing but that's besides the point or under the point

47:23 or anyway um

47:27 where was I going with this right one WIP Charlies to clean the affected area

47:31 before you get no actually the one wipe Charlies are supposed to be separate

47:35 from the shaving products they're just butt wipes the point is for a few

47:38 dollars a month visit dollarshaveclub.com Linus and join the

47:42 club today also I must I must mention they are the one wipe Charlies are uh

47:47 labeled as butt wipes for men but all of these products have apparently been used

47:51 by female members of our audience or girlfriends or friends of male members

47:56 of our audience y so they could be like one wipe

48:00 Charlies Char yeah that's another one

48:04 wipe Char um no no I didn't mean French I

48:07 meant like Charlies the feminine oh okay well freshbooks.com

49:10 today and don't forget to tell them that we sent you and our last bot here is for

49:15 the Logitech g633 Luke is going to put on the headset

49:20 I've actually had a lot of people asking me for a review of this headset along

49:24 with the 933 so I was waiting for the

49:28 930 wow so I I can hear you less now I

49:31 was waiting for the 9:33 to arrive so that I could do them both at the same

49:36 time because I really don't think I need two separate videos of of these products

49:40 but the long and short of it is they've got 7.1 Dolby Surround Sound with the

49:44 Logitech gaming software they feature 40mm prog audio drivers and that's

49:49 really not the important thing about them it's really funny how like

49:52 headphone marketing comes down to all these like points that actually mean

49:57 nothing because it's all about the tuning of the drivers as opposed to the

50:01 actual size of them but so the pro G yes

50:04 that matters more that's the key whereas gamers are so used to being marketed to

50:09 with like driver size more cores that

50:13 you kind of have to get in line or you're going to have a hard time selling your headset really I I I don't think

50:18 Logitech should worry about that stuff MEAP pixels yeah megapixels I know right

50:23 megapixels and megahertz and color contrast so they're compatible the PC as

50:27 well as PlayStation 4 and Xbox One they've got adjustable RGB lighting and

50:31 custom tags and they feature a cardioid boom mic the very best sort of boom mic

50:36 because an omnidirectional boom mic would be super duper dumb have you seen

50:40 how the boom mic is super ninja uh yeah

50:43 actually yeah they showed it to me at pack do you want to show them though it might be uh it's available now on Amazon

50:47 you can pick them up at the link in the video description which I will also be

50:51 posting in the twitch chat which is now

50:55 did to go like over me so they can see it CU my shirt's black so I put it over

51:01 my throat that they can see it yeah so the point of the mic positioning is just

51:05 because it's it's actually really funny to me how many microphones you literally

51:10 cannot position optimally because most

51:13 people think the best place for the mic is right in front of the mouth that's

51:18 terrible because you get that pop pop pop pop pop theives you actually want it

51:23 at the corner of your mouth so having the length be adjust

51:27 is as important as having the height be adjustable for a

51:31 microphone plosives plosives I love it

51:34 when words kind of like are the thing that they're describing mhm like

51:46 cacophony I noticed that you know how I'm deaf in this year or whatever it's I

51:51 still hear bone conductivity stuff so when I was nodding my teeth rattled and

51:55 it was like super loud so I just kind of kept doing it okay in the shower this

51:59 morning the the like water falling on my

52:03 head sounded so cool we need to have a segment of the show called cool story

52:09 Luke all right so Tesla's auto pilot got

52:13 a speeding warning to be clear it was a warning not a ticket but it was

52:19 basically doing what 75 mph in a 60 Zone and like okay there's some things if I

52:25 could get to the topic that was help a lot there's some things that people have

52:28 to realize I'm not at the topic yet but it's like you're still supposed to kind

52:32 of drive the car like we talked about that last week like you're supposed to

52:38 still keep your hands on the wheel it's supposed to kind of try to figure out

52:42 zones but it's not going to stop you from going too fast um

52:46 so yeah it can know the speed limit without necessarily enforcing it on you

52:51 yeah and it it yeah I don't know so like

52:55 and also this was this was the video in question shows it being used on City

52:59 roads where the beta is actually only currently intended for Highway use where

53:04 15 M well 15 miles hour over is still

53:07 significant but not as big of a deal as it would be within the city like you're

53:11 a lot more likely to get a ticket within

53:14 City Limits than you are on the freeway um like it doesn't enforce a speed limit

53:19 at all it's able to detect the speed limit or it should be able to detect the

53:23 speed limit but it doesn't enforce it in any way so so some folks are saying the

53:27 driver is at fault and the autopilot did what it was intended to do um as soon as

53:31 it detected a possible Collision it issued a collision warning and

53:34 disengaged and the driver was prompted to take control of the vehicle and this

53:38 is why musk went straight up said okay

53:42 this is beta Keep Your Hands on the Wheel this is beta and people dis

53:47 disregarded that immediately there's so many videos on YouTube of like oh look

53:51 it's driving itself and I'm like don't do that not the point you're going to

53:56 ruin self-driving cars for all of us yes

53:59 please don't screw up right now yeah thank you we need you to just

54:04 participate in the beta be a good beta tester and just go on with your life or

54:08 don't also would be fine um speaking of

54:12 going on with your life how could you go on with your life if you didn't have one

54:16 of these amazing what LT ugly Christmas

54:20 sweater design when show shirts I haven't actually seen these what the

54:25 green one is awesome yep the there's a red one the green one is Ballin and

54:30 we've got like I didn't know there was so many different colors we've got like gray and stuff so legitimately have not

54:35 seen these before yeah I I'm I'm definitely getting the green on there's

54:38 still a couch yeah I know well all Ed

54:42 did was like kind of modernize the

54:46 existing fist design so both of our

54:49 shirt Graphics are replaced by Christmas trees there's a Christmas tree in the

54:53 background and there's like wait so are

54:56 we going to get the shirts that are on the shirt or are we going to get the

55:01 shirts we're going to get these that we're looking at right now okay yeah so

55:07 uh these are over at teespring.com Christmas no I like the green I think

55:11 the green is the ugliest one Green's pretty fantastic for a holiday sweater

55:15 so I'm I'm pretty stoked my holiday sweater last year was green and yours

55:19 was red so this year we can go you green and you I saw mine in the in my drawer

55:24 today cuz I was pulling out a pulling out my keep on digging hoodie which was

55:28 awesome because uh Ubisoft did something stupid if I recall correctly um and I

55:34 was talking about it on netlink today so I was wearing my tee keep on taking sh I

55:37 was like yeah baby um but uh but yeah I am super

55:42 excited about this design it's going to be awesome I don't think I I don't think

55:46 there even was a minimum goal for how many of these we were expecting to sell

55:50 like I think this is very much just to like we kind of wanted some hey if

55:54 you're into this then cool we're getting them I want one I want more than one

55:59 yeah I'm definitely getting one cuz I think it's awesome yeah um Nick told me

56:03 that there's some kind of complicated roll out of these like we're doing a

56:07 campaign on Teespring and then it's like a short one and then we're doing another

56:11 one or something anyway I don't know for now teespring.com whenn

56:16 Christmas all right what else we got going on here this is I love this kind

56:21 of news where it's just like yeah Microsoft

56:27 news.com Microsoft confirms the surface book is two times more powerful than a

56:33 MacBook Pro okay then so it's okay Nick I don't

56:38 care um so basically they they they said

56:42 something along the lines of that during the original unveiling of the surface

56:46 book and then many articles out there were kind of going well hold on a second

56:53 what the what the crap are you guys actually talking about so Microsoft

56:56 claimed this was the claim it is ounce for ounce pound for pound the fastest

57:01 13-in laptop ever made anywhere on the planet so when asked for clarification

57:06 they gave the following statement our validated performance claims are for the

57:10 Microsoft Surface Book with an Intel Core i7 and 16 gigs of RAM and custom

57:14 discre NVIDIA GeForce GPU against the MacBook Pro 13-in with Retina Display

57:19 with an Intel Core i7 with 16 gigs of RAM we used thirdparty benchmarks to

57:23 test the best available Surface Book against the best available MacBook Pro

57:28 but what they're not saying is what benchmarks cuz you could run a game on

57:32 it and be like yeah it's twice fast so um it's really good yeah which would

57:37 have zero applicability to me as a Surface Book buyer like what I'm going

57:42 to game on this thing you for real it's like just cuz you guys call something

57:45 XBox doesn't make it gaming MH like that console that they released

57:51 well oh dang that's a little rough yeah

57:55 sorry that was it's best for watching TV mainly Sports um I don't know like like

58:00 you said at the very beginning it's from Microsoft news.com so I don't really

58:03 care at all I'll wait till someone else validates this like us are we getting

58:07 one well no uh yeah I bought one uh and Microsoft news is even this is not

58:11 Microsoft's own site it's just microsoft.com but they're even saying

58:15 like this is stupid you have told us nothing okay and because we already know

58:20 like you can't you don't just get to defy the laws of physics our core i7

58:26 based on a slightly newer design and a slightly higher clock speed and actually

58:31 very similar performance per CL Pro throttle is twice as fast no the MacBook

58:35 Pro doesn't throttle if it does it doesn't much what one throttle do the 2015 MacBook performs about half as well

58:41 as it could in multi-threaded workloads and that's another thing is it's because

58:44 we don't know what benchmarks we know nothing about the workloads and it's

58:48 basically meaningless speaking of things that are

58:52 basically meaningless this is great Fallout 4

58:56 the disc will not actually contain the

59:00 entire game I hope H that's so stupid it's

59:06 apparently in some effort to stop piracy

59:10 but as everyone ever should know that will mean absolutely nothing um so yeah

59:18 hopefully it comes with the vast majority of the game because a lot of

59:22 people that I know these days including me at this point are still interested in

59:27 physical games because of download cap yep it's a lot to download some Modern

59:32 games like there's quite a few modern games they're like 50 gigs if you have

59:35 to update Star Citizen like oh God it's

59:39 a lot of data and every single time I do that like 50 gigs is 10% of my download

59:44 cap for the month for the month yep so

59:47 like if I download a game or two like oh dang there goes 20% of my download cap

59:54 holy crap like oops so buying physical games is still a thing for quite a few

59:58 people and if you leave a huge chunk of your game off that can be a problem so

60:02 hopefully it's just like a couple key files that are small yeah that's kind of

60:06 what I'm hoping so the PC will require activation on Steam the console does not

60:11 um yeah Ian I get using steam as DRM I I

60:15 especially get if the key that they provide is also a steam key so that I at

60:20 least have the option to download it because I mean not that I'm condoning

60:24 this but that at least gives Gamers the option to download it at work or

60:28 something and take it home on a thumb drive which I'm sure you've probably

60:33 done already I've done that tons of times we don't have a bandwidth cap here I've abused that to no end me too I've

60:39 come to work with flash driv so many times yep that's like why steam is

60:44 installed on my work computer yeah I mean it on Steam it particularly helps

60:48 but on some of the other ones where it's much more difficult to download the game

60:51 files and then just drag like I really I really don't understand if anyone from

60:56 EA or Ubisoft is watching right now drag

61:00 and drop install is like half the point of steam for me being able to put all my

61:05 game files on a Nas and then just drag

61:08 and drop a game over to my SSD that I want to play at that moment versus

61:12 downloading the stupid thing again has a huge value like and and you would get

61:17 rid of a lot of this whole data cap issue because you know you got your

61:20 group of gamer friends or whatever so you take turns being the sacrificial

61:24 lamb to download the game game and then just share it on USB driver like there's

61:28 still a place foral dat sharing every

61:32 time I go to a land party uh you make sure someone shows up with the USB hard

61:37 drive that has everything on it so and you just pass it around whenever I don't

61:41 have a problem with online validation of the license that's fine but make it make

61:46 it simple make the files easy and make the files easy yeah um so here's a rumor

61:52 and the uh original

61:56 original post here seems to be from Nintendo forums so I'm really not sure

62:00 how this qualifies as news but it's in our DOC for some reason so we might as

62:03 well talk about it if for no reason other than to talk about how console

62:07 rumors should all be completely ignored

62:12 because most of them come from console fans and no offense but it seems like a

62:18 lot of the really rabid console fans have no idea what the hell they're

62:23 talking about when it comes to Hardware the Xbox One play

62:28 4K remember that it's like remember how

62:33 big of a thing that was yeah it's like

62:37 actually 720p on like everything and you

62:40 know what this the stupid thing is you can't even talk to these people because you're like okay let's let's take a step

62:46 back for a minute here okay it has an HDMI 1.4 Port okay so let's let's take a

62:53 step back from that and let's look at it an HDMI 1.4 Port no no no the Xbox one

62:58 is not magic no it is not magic okay so let's take a step back again not magic

63:03 it's not magic okay HDMI 1.4 that means

63:07 3840 by 2160 30 FPS Max okay so you're

63:13 either playing at 30 FPS which is not cinematic no no no no it's not cinematic

63:18 or you're playing at 1080P and then they didn't even get that

63:23 or you're actually going to end up playing at 7 cinematic

63:28 960p oh that's rough um anyway so the

63:32 rumor here at any rate is that um and

63:35 part of this makes a little bit of sense because relative to what console gamers

63:41 are used to um an updated Nintendo console might look like something super

63:45 powerful uh right now uh because

63:49 Nintendo has gone ahead with that rumored strategy it looks like of more

63:54 frequent release Cycles I mean the other

63:57 console guys are are also rumored to be

64:01 working on Replacements much sooner than the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 got

64:05 replaced but um now we're we're seeing rumors that Nintendo is

64:09 actually pushing forward with the Nintendo NX and we could be seeing it

64:13 relatively soon so a faster refresh cycle Midway through a longer cycle from

64:18 your competitors could put you hardware-wise in a much more competitive

64:22 place without spending more this is something that we've talked about a lot

64:26 um regarding future proofing the concept of future proofing on the PC where

64:31 actually compared to buying a single $5,000 computer you are much better off

64:37 buying a modest $1,500 computer today

64:40 modest waiting well relatively modest

64:43 versus going completely like over the top and quad SLI this and that buying

64:47 buying just sort of a bang for the buck computer now waiting 2 years while

64:51 you're having a great gaming experience with that buying another one then you

64:55 have like an extra computer waiting another couple years buying another one

64:58 that strategy you spent $500 less and I guarantee you by the end of that period

65:02 of time by the time games are coming out that are actually leveraging the better

65:05 Hardware that last computer you have is way better than the one that you would

65:09 have bought for five grand in the first place this is something we've talked about time and time again you only buy a

65:13 super expensive computer if you just don't care if you're just like whatever

65:19 don't care then that's fine that's cool go for it but there's even better

65:23 reasons for stuff like water cooling because a lot of times you can step

65:26 those up very easily things like uh well

65:30 monitor is not so much anymore I used to say that but monitor technology is

65:33 moving so fast right now yeah uh speakers okay speakers a great pair of

65:39 headphones um actually I think I think peripherals are changing slowly enough

65:44 now that you buy a great gaming they like a a little crazy burst they kind of

65:49 stopped and then now it's kind of okay you either want cherry or kaiwa switches

65:54 and kind of razor switch k um so so so I

65:59 would say yeah you buy peripherals things you interact with every day I do

66:03 believe in spending a fair bit of money on but the actual like the CPU or the S

66:07 Storage is a great one never over buy storage just get what you need and

66:11 expend it as you go anyway so the rumor

66:14 is they will have incredibly powerful Hardware in the Nintendo n x and it was

66:19 said that one software demo included with the kit crunches so many polygons

66:24 that it's currently impossible to run at 60 FPS using a current generation Intel

66:28 CPU and near topof thee line graphics card which means

66:35 nothing

66:38 nothing can't emphasize that enough it means nothing so the point of this rumor

66:43 topic is that we should ignore

66:46 rumors um and the next rumor yeah and the next rumor the Snapdragon 820

66:52 rumored to be 50% more powerful than the Samsung exos 7420 which actually makes a

66:57 whole ton of sense because finally for the first time in a while we've got a

67:02 manufacturing process shrink that will account for that 50% performance

67:06 Improvement pretty much right there and back to you

67:11 Tom and our next rumor nope not a rumor

67:14 no no more rum Microsoft is apparently is there more rumors okay let's see if

67:19 there more have more rumors

67:23 uh uh uh it's rumored that China is

67:27 still hacking the US okay that's not too

67:31 surpris it's not really rumored that's more accused they're denying it um of

67:35 course of course they are wow we've actually still got some great topics

67:39 Samsung Galaxy S7 specs leaked alth okay okay okay okay we got another

67:44 rumor boys yeah we got another rumor oh this one's from wccf wccf

67:50 T so basically so they just got a picture I love I love it when the rumor

67:55 article just have a picture of the current product cuz it's like yes this

67:59 rumor is so unsubstantiated that we couldn't even find a render that that a

68:04 user created we actually just need to use the current phone um so the S7 is

68:09 apparently getting this this is great I love it when a phone rumor it's rumored

68:14 it will feature better performance better multimedia capabilities and an

68:18 improved camera not a battery NVIDIA's new

68:23 flagship graphics card rumored to to include better display interfaces faster

68:29 processing and more RAM maybe even Cuda

68:33 course more Cuda cor you have got to be

68:36 kidding me um so basically that that's the rumor

68:40 though 20 megapixel camera

68:44 um uh exos 8890 or Snapdragon 820 it's

68:48 not clear if they're going to do one or the other or a split strategy they have

68:52 done that before different processors in different markets

68:56 um let's go back to something that's that's not r as rumor meal yeah um oh I

69:00 wanted to talk about this what another wccf tech article actually but uh uh one

69:07 of the recent um FastTrack builds of

69:10 Windows 10 has introduced a new prompt

69:14 when you try to switch your default browser from Edge it was already super

69:19 annoying where it actually is like can you confirm versus just immediately

69:25 applying it once I click Chrome um so it

69:28 had already did that but apparently it's something along lines of give Microsoft

69:31 Edge a shot just like come on you guys Edge is

69:37 a piece of trash it's almost as bad as Bing I'm

69:41 sorry almost as bad as Bing and you know

69:45 why did they change how you change program defaults why do I have to go

69:48 into some stupid menu now yeah that's so dumb they're trying to make it harder um

69:53 so let's bring up um let's go to let's go to bing.com let's try and search for

69:58 something um so this this was something I was looking for the other day uh Dude

70:03 Perfect social blade

70:06 okay user Dude

70:09 Perfect oh that must not be the real dude perfect hold on a

70:14 second okay oh must be Dude Perfect

70:18 TV yeah okay so it like super gave you

70:23 theong except that's not it what nope

70:26 not it either it only got 150,000 subscribers I think it's a secondary

70:29 Channel or something okay maybe the oh no wait that's oh oh hold on a second

70:36 here it is it's Corey cotton because he's been grandfathered in under the old

70:40 rules he had a bad name that that wasn't changed oh okay so I was searching for

70:45 this I'm like how did this not find this so every time I use Bing like I swear

70:49 every time I use Bing and it didn't even manage to bring me the social blade page

70:53 every time I use Bing it's like why do I hate this this is why first hit Cory

70:58 cotton social blade this is the real

71:02 dude perfect Channel with all six million of its subscribers and all that

71:06 crap it's like Bing you're even ripping off Google search results you still

71:11 can't get them right you still are not even

71:14 close why don't I use Bing that's why because every single time I use it like

71:20 probably half the time I use a web browser I'm trying to troubleshoot something and I swear you can put in

71:26 quotes an exact error message in bing it manages to find something

71:30 else kind of garbage that had nothing to do with Edge though yeah sorry back to

71:35 back to Edge so basically they're just like give Edge a shot have you given

71:38 Edge a shot yeah I have I don't like it I have not when you first when you first

71:41 launch it it hides your stupid it puts

71:44 your stupid address bar in a different place yes is I'm just like why do I have

71:48 to click here to move the address bar here who thought that was an intuitive

71:51 design no one I hope um

71:57 yeah uh anyway sorry where I was going with this is Google's been slinging some

72:02 crap at Microsoft for sort of their behavior with Edge and making it more

72:06 difficult for people to switch to Chrome but I actually noticed something

72:09 absolutely hilarious on uh the iPhone

72:12 the other day and I I wish I could screen share this with you or something but I'm really not set up for that so

72:17 that but I you'll just have to take my word for it so in Google Docs when you

72:22 when you click on a link that you want to open okay you go over open link this

72:26 is great the menu is from from top to bottom download

72:32 Chrome open in Safari or cancel and you

72:36 cannot say don't ask me again so for Google to be slinging crap

72:43 that's pretty rough about this kind of stuff it's

72:46 like yeah can you not please cuz it's

72:49 not like you're not guilty of this too that's pretty rough like that's some

72:52 pretty brutal stuff like I act like try trying to read um trying to read the

72:57 articles from the wow doc earlier today the number of times I almost

73:02 accidentally downloaded Chrome was pretty frustrating and I use Safari on

73:07 the iPhone now uh because Force touch is freaking awesome for web browsing or 3D

73:12 touch or whatever they call it I don't care um but the pressure sensitive touch

73:15 screen right do we have anything else um

73:20 yeah there's a couple more cool things this is really neat the the Apple patent

73:23 for um an active screen shattered screen

73:28 protector so these drawings are really cool so basically um in much the same

73:32 way that hard drives are capable of using accelerometers to detect that

73:36 they're in freef fall and brace for an impact Park the heads um Apple has

73:41 patented A system that would allow Corner little like rubber or some kind

73:45 of protectors to pop up when the phone detects it in freeall and keep the

73:50 screen from impacting the ground directly very cool technology would love

73:55 see this fully protect it but it will help it will help it's a whole lot

73:59 better than nothing that's true which is what we have now because like if you have a rocks still fall well if you have

74:05 the phone fall with the screen with the rock hitting the middle of it it won't

74:09 matter at all but if you drop it on a tile floor that it'll help you know or a

74:13 concrete floor or wooden floor like there's a lot of places you can drop it

74:16 where it would help so here's the proposed mechanism that would have the

74:19 protector kind of roll up inside the phone interesting so basically I guess

74:23 they still don't intend to give me better B batter life but at least my screen won't shatter this is very

74:28 beneficial for Apple along with the way that they stealthily mostly waterproofed

74:32 the 6s uh because the reseller and

74:35 tradein market for the iPhone is huge

74:38 business for them so preventing shattered screens and water damage is

74:43 actually in Apple's best interest for the sake of that whole ecosystem

74:47 protecting the resale value of these products yeah very cool very cool

74:53 stuff um talked about Sapphire blog post already talked about China yep yep

74:58 Sprint find who cares another ISP fine for doing another stupid thing oh this

75:02 is great uh Facebook is draining your

75:05 battery because it's tracking your location so this is actually some oh

75:10 Facebook has identified two issues behind the battery drain the company

75:13 announced and said it has solved the problem with an update so I I would like

75:18 to see if I log into Facebook now on my Droid Turbo if it still drains my

75:22 battery right yeah um but there you go apparently this is resolved I I guess we

75:27 didn't pull it off the dock um oh eaco

75:31 Peter Moore criticizes HD remasters and

75:35 backwards compatibility so kind of went and took the high road on the one thing

75:40 and then went and was kind of a butthole on the other thing cuz like I can think

75:44 of a lot of reasons why backwards compatibility is super important reason

75:48 number one my Wii's optical drive is

75:52 dead so if my Wii U which I don't have

75:55 one but if I ever were to get a Wii U and I wanted to play Wii games on it if

75:59 if I were to get a Wii U it would be super cool that it could play Wii games

76:03 because Hardware that is end of life and

76:07 is not being manufactured anymore can can die and that's a thing so backwards

76:13 compatibility is actually super cool um as for criticizing HD remasters I have

76:17 very mixed feelings about this this is something I wanted to disc I don't mind HD remasters at all I'm okay with them

76:24 too I would actually super love for there to be a remaster of Final Fantasy

76:28 6 for example I'd love for there to be a remaster of warwind yeah I don't mind

76:32 remasters at all not even slightly some it's a little bit frustrating when it

76:36 seems like all a company does is remaster old games yep but I'd rather

76:41 they remaster their old good games than make new CRA yes I also agree but maybe

76:47 we're just getting old there's a sad thought I kind of

76:52 doubt it to be completely honest yeah who cares

76:56 all right fair enough remasters of old

77:01 movies don't really work the same

77:05 way was I I'm sorry I think you changed gears on me a little bit there was I

77:09 talking about movies no oh okay you're talking about us being old but it's not

77:12 just cuz we're old oh because I don't just like I still like the nostalgic

77:17 value of old movies so do movie reboots work for you or no it depends us not I

77:22 would say there's been some pretty good ones

77:25 like what though let's have a look okay Google can answer this for let's let's

77:28 give Bing a shot oh God top movie

77:32 reboots it's probably been good like a few times movie remakes okay um okay so

77:39 they managed about.com okay let's let Google try top 10 movie

77:45 remakes all right oh look at that we get

77:49 oh I don't I don't know if some of these are really that applicable remix uh

77:53 movies fre mentioned on the web W this is Google let us down cuz I'm pretty

77:58 sure no one weren remade remake True

78:01 Lies um pretty sure that's not a thing

78:05 oh like H yeah that's very interesting

78:08 okay so anyway okay well let's find out which one of the top linked articles is

78:12 better so about so the Magnificent 7

78:16 haven't seen it Casino Royale okay there

78:19 there's there's a there's a wait hold on a second what that's not a remake

78:25 H okay what some may not consider this a

78:31 remake but George Lucas acknowledges a

78:34 debt to the Hidden Fortress as a source of

78:37 inspiration

78:46 what okay all

78:49 right uh all right so let's have a look at this

78:53 one three 10 to Yuma top 10 best remakes

78:57 the fly okay I haven't seen either of those

79:01 they're both from before I was born

79:06 well okay I don't they're not better

79:09 because they're not really a thing because reboots I'm definitely

79:14 okay with I mean looking at I loved the way Star Trek got rebooted some people

79:17 might hate on me for that reboots I think are okay like like I joked on

79:23 Twitter about how like the only movie that matters is hackers and it should

79:27 just be remastered and rebooted and Hollywood should just quit it was an

79:30 obvious joke some people thought I was serious which was weird um but like I

79:36 don't want them to remake hackers right that would be the worst hackers doesn't

79:41 make sense in 2015 hackers make sense when it was

79:45 filmed right and it was great back then and like I don't know I don't know you

79:51 know what else would be better in a year that wasn't 20 15 fake reviewers this is

79:57 great I am so glad to see Amazon going

80:00 after people for this I'm always glad when I see good Amazon things in the

80:03 news because like we pimp Amazon at the end of like all of our videos we're like

80:08 yeah buy from Amazon with our affiliate code it's cool um so this is a great

80:12 thing that they are definitely doing for the industry uh so they're actually

80:17 going after fraudulent reviewers that

80:20 are using multiple accounts and ordering empty Parcels to avoid ction and who are

80:25 working with manufacturers to post fake

80:29 five-star reviews on the website so the

80:32 defendants named as John do and referred to only by their usernames offered to

80:36 write fraudulent reviews for as little as $5 and this is an Amazon statement uh

80:43 takes the credibility of its customer reviews very seriously an unhealthy

80:46 ecosystem has developed outside of Amazon to supply reviews in exchange for

80:52 payment and I mean things like verified owner do help a lot I generally speaking

80:58 ignore anything that's not a verified purchase on Amazon yeah but that doesn't

81:02 change that the like the overall star rating is affected by all of them one

81:06 thing Amazon could do actually this is kind of a smart idea sometimes I have

81:10 those if if anyone from Amazon is watching maybe give us a way to filter

81:15 um the verified purchases from the non-verified purchases in the star

81:18 rating that would be super cool

81:22 um yeah so I I I guess that's all there is to really say about it other than

81:27 that that practice sucks and we hate it everyone in chat's freaking freaking

81:32 out about Fallout 4 but the Fallout 4 is done for like three weeks or something

81:37 two and a half weeks so yeah you got a collector's edition right yes very

81:43 narrowly yeah um there was there was wave one which like I was at work or

81:49 somewhere I was doing something so I didn't have a chance to get it and then

81:53 there was wave two which I didn't hear about until it was over cuzz they like

81:57 stores randomly got more stock like all over the place but there wasn't that

82:00 much stock and I didn't hear about it so I didn't get the collector edition thing

82:05 and then a while later I was trying to see like oh I wonder how much they are

82:09 on like eBay or something cuz if it's like slightly more then sure but I knew

82:12 it would be ridiculous and it was like $700 and I was like okay nope not doing

82:18 that obviously so on Twitter I'm like does anyone know of anywhere where it's

82:22 not ridiculous and some dude's like oh I have a huge backlog and I'm just going

82:25 to cancel my pre-order so you can just take it I was

82:29 like wow that's pretty nice so he messaged me on the Forum and we worked

82:33 out everything and it's going to be fine this is so funny uh I can't believe we

82:38 didn't mention this uh YouTube calling
